Chapter 205
The banquet was extremely lively, completely different from the deathly stillness of the past.
The banquet was held in front of the Sun Shadow church's cathedral. The cathedral was located at the center of Lohr, a relatively high location with a total of three squares. The smallest square was located at the top, which was right in front of the cathedral.
The second square was located halfway up the mountain, forming a ring around the base of the cathedral.
The third was naturally the largest square at the foot of the mountain. Even though it was the smallest square of the Sun Shadow church, it was still taller than the residential area, which showed the influence of religion in this place. After all, this world didn't seem to have the concept of nations, only regions and towns that were autonomous, and the one with the greatest authority was naturally the church.
The three squares divided the residents of Lohr into three classes.
The top floor was closest to the cathedral, a place that only the upper class of Lohr as well as devout believers could go to.
The second square was where the merchants and other nobles of the city gathered. The Farnate family lived in the second square. The Farnate family could be considered to be one of the more prestigious families in Lohr, and it was for this reason that Farnate cared so much about the fact that his daughter carried the blood of evil.
His son, Chromie, was currently attending an academy outside the city, so as long as he managed to finish his studies and return, he would be able to work in Lohr's government office. From now on, they wouldn't need to stay in the second square, but could head to the top square and become the upper class of Lohr.
If not for the fact that her sudden death would cause the priests of the Sun Shadow church to perform a baptism, the fact that she carried the blood of evil would definitely be exposed, and Farnate wouldn't even hesitate to kill his daughter.
Perhaps I should let her go visit her family at some point. Farnate looked at his daughter and had such a thought: At that time, I'll just say that she fell into a ravine and her body wasn't found "
Shaking his head, Mr. Farnate smiled and greeted the others politely, then carried on with his daily jovial conversation, without a single trace of the thought of killing his daughter that had just flashed through his mind.
Negri slowly walked through the square. Among the crowd, a priest was giving a sermon on the Ceremony of the Sun, which attracted quite a few people. Of course, it was also possible that they were pretending to be attracted.
If they wanted to gain a foothold in Lohr, not establishing a good relationship with the Sun Shadow church would be the same as seeking their own death.
As the sun slowly set, everyone began to enjoy the rare night. After the church's regular preaching, they no longer interfered with their daily activities. After enjoying the fine food and wine provided by the church, the red-faced men and women slowly made their way to a more secluded location.
It was a wild night, in every sense of the word.
Lanshan was also hit on by a few men. After all, Miss Chloe's body condition wasn't bad. Her delicate and frail appearance gave her a sickly beauty.
However, she obeyed Negri's teachings and ignored these people's attempts to strike up a conversation. She began to search slowly and finally found her target.
Leaning on the railing, Lanshan looked down. There were dark houses on this side of the street. It was a residential area, probably where the family members of the church lived.
During this time, Negri didn't just stay in his room and do nothing. Because his soul was transmigrating, the Soul's Blood had to be created from existing germs, and he also needed to participate in the Spirit Cleansing Day, so Negri didn't modify this body too much. In addition, he didn't have enough fresh flesh, so he only used some of the germs in this body to modify some of his accessories.
In her eyes, a large number of germs had condensed into a mirror state, acting like a pair of binoculars that allowed her to see further. She could also take it off if necessary to avoid alerting anyone.
After confirming her target, a golden liquid slowly flowed out from her tear ducts, carrying the germs in her eyes and slid downwards.
This was the Soul's Blood that Negri had been creating for the past few days, carrying Negri's soul. The Soul's Blood freely fell to the ground and solidified into a golden rock.
During this time, Negri didn't even use his interference force, only relying on his germs to restrain the Soul's Blood.
Today was the so-called Spirit Cleansing Day, where even the nocturnal monsters would stop their activities. Starting from dusk, Negri could also sense a slight burning sensation in the air, which was most likely the power of the Sun Shadow church.
However, what surprised Negri was that this burning sensation wasn't like the New Deity or Archaeosaurus, which contained their own will.
This power was able to affect Negri, but it wouldn't restrict Negri too much. However, it was understandable, as this wasn't the Sun Shadow church's headquarters. Even so, Negri was still extremely careful and didn't use his interference force.
The reason why he didn't send the Soul's Blood out from the second floor of the Farnate manor was because of two reasons.
On one hand, the passersby didn't have particularly high statuses, so even if the Soul's Blood was stored in their bodies, it would most likely be restricted to them.
On the other hand, Negri also had a few plans for his future path: Relatively speaking, although the family members of the Sun Shadow church are in danger, it's still a dark place under the lamp, and there's a greater chance for me to obtain more information, perhaps even a chance to infiltrate the Sun Shadow church.
For this reason, taking a bit of risk was acceptable.
Inside the room, a young man was eating from his plate, not particularly interested in the commotion outside. As a family member of the church, his devotion towards the Sun Shadow church wasn't as great as that of normal citizens.
Most likely, it's because I don't have that sense of mystery anymore, the young man thought to himself. Those priests who act like dogs in front of others are also showing their flaws in front of me, and the saying 'distance makes beauty grow' isn't without reason.
Because of that, the young man didn't care too much about the so-called 'Baptism of Sunlight' and brought some food back with him. With so much sunlight every day, if he could receive a Baptism just by being exposed to the light of dawn, that would be too cheap.
After finishing his food, he left the room and returned the plate. On his way back, he suddenly sensed a flash of light, which prompted him to walk over and see a golden stone.
"Could it have been dropped by a guest?" Looking at the golden stone, the golden light that seemed to be flowing at a certain frequency, the young man's gaze went blank for a brief moment, then became filled with greed as he looked at the golden stone. Furthermore, this greed was growing stronger and stronger, surpassing his rationality.
A simple visual cue, through the rhythm of the reflected light, was able to cause a person's emotions to explode. It could only be said that Negri was becoming more and more familiar with the creatures known as humans.
"Treasure, it's my treasure!" The young man muttered, put the golden stone back into his bosom, and ran back to his home.
