Chapter 211

"Continue forward" the three Red Sun Knights coldly ordered.

During this Spirit Cleansing Day, among the tens of thousands of residents of Lohr, a few of them had exposed themselves. According to the information they received, they had confirmed their target: Isrig.

This man was a prominent member of Lohr who had gone to the Academic City to further his studies when he was young. After returning to Lohr, he opened a pharmaceutical company and could be considered as a successful person in Lohr.

After discovering the snake monster incident in the sewers, the Night Watchers had conducted an investigation into this matter. After investigating the mutated flesh of the snake people, they had confirmed the materials needed to perform the mutated magic.

One of them was the skin of a green-scaled snake, which was only used in a few places in Lohr. During the Spirit Cleansing Day, the Archbishop had purposely probed a few related suspects during the Spirit Cleansing Ceremony.

In the end, he confirmed that there was something strange about Isrig's body, so he was secretly marked with a tracking mark.

The purpose of this operation was to capture Isrig and destroy his secret wickedness laboratory.

If they only wanted to capture Isrig and keep his laboratory, there was no telling when someone would accidentally find it and restart the experiment.

Lohr had never lacked such ambitious people, and similar incidents had occurred no less than 10 times in Lohr.

For example, 20 years ago, a certain civilian managed to obtain an evil magic ritual from an unknown place. Although the Night Watchers managed to capture the civilian before the ritual was completed, his magical notes were left outside.

10 years ago, a young girl managed to complete the true magic ritual and summoned an underground demon. Even now, there were still quite a number of underground demons roaming the sewers. This incident had once again contributed to the prosperity of Lohr's sewers, which was worthy of celebration, worthy of celebration.

There were many other similar incidents throughout Lohr's history.

For such incidents, capturing the culprit didn't mean that the incident was over, as the related taboo knowledge had to be destroyed to be considered purified.

For that reason, the Sun Shadow church didn't try to capture Isrig while he was alone during the day, but instead waited until nighttime, when he was conducting his experiments before capturing him.

Isrig must have already noticed this ambush, let's just hope he didn't discover the tracking mark so quickly and destroy it.

Negri's footsteps were in sync with the Red Sun Knights' without making any noise. A layer of black biomass gear manifested around his body, absorbing all the heat from his body and achieving the first step of perfect stealth.

At the very least, the Red Sun Knights and Night Watchers next door didn't notice Negri's presence. This was also one of the drawbacks of not activating their [Origin], as they couldn't improve their souls, their lack of senses was a major flaw.

"It's right in front." A Red Sun Knight next to Reid whispered as he took out a necklace, the ruby on the necklace was giving off a scorching aura.

This ruby was a Divine Technique artifact created by the Archbishop, which was connected to the tracing mark. The closer the ruby was to the tracing mark, the hotter the ruby would become. Since the Red Sun Knights had the Red Sun Mark, they were extremely sensitive to heat, which could be considered as a supplement to their senses.

With his reminder, the group quickly discovered the enemy's location. On the left side of the sewers, there was an extremely well-hidden wooden door that had the same color as the wall. Even if the Red Sun Knights were wearing helmets that were constantly glowing, they wouldn't have been able to discover it without a reminder.

After exchanging glances, a Red Sun Knight raised his shield and rammed straight into the door, then rolled inside with a single roll. A soft light leaked out from inside.

The others quickly followed suit, revealing a relatively spacious secret room in front of them.

There were quite a few boxes around, each of which contained a green scaled snake, as well as a large pile of snakeskin next to them. A middle-aged man wearing a knight's hat was standing behind a table, his head lowered so that his face couldn't be seen, and he didn't move at all.

"I was wondering why my two servants died, I didn't think three Red Sun Knights would come to capture me" the middle-aged man was Isrig. His voice didn't sound panicked at all, instead, he appeared to be quite surprised at the strength of the group that came to capture him.

"Why would a successful person like you also come to study such taboo knowledge?" another Red Sun Knight coldly questioned him: "Sinner Isrig, do you have any accomplices?"

He had a family, a medicine company of his own, a wife and a child, a considerable amount of wealth and status, and could be considered a prominent figure in Lohr. His life could be said to be perfect and blissful.

"Don't you feel that life is boring?" Isrig asked in return: "Ever since I was born, I've experienced so many things, but my true thoughts have always been restricted, and within these restrictions, we live the same life"

"Again and again, again and again, I feel like I'm trapped in the same day, yesterday was Monday, today is Monday, tomorrow is still Monday, nothing has changed"

"That's why sometimes, I don't understand" Isrig asked in confusion: "What is the meaning of humans living the same way?"

"We are all sinners, we live to atone for our sins. We are all God's possessions, so everything we do is for our God!" Reid firmly declared, pointing his knight's sword at the black sheep who was still confused by the taboo knowledge: "Accept your judgment and be purified, Isrig"

"Gods, that's nothing but the biggest scam!" Isrig laughed maniacally: "I can't find the meaning of my life, so I desire to break the monotony of my life, perhaps that would be the way to find the meaning of my life!"

A crossbow bolt flew through the air and struck Isrig's body, but the bolt easily pierced through his body without drawing a single drop of blood.

Seeing that something wasn't right, Reid hurriedly swung his sword at Isrig's body. The blade of his sword easily cut him in half, but what fell to the ground wasn't his body, but a large layer of human-shaped dead skin.

The table abruptly exploded as a green shadow flew out and leapt towards the approaching Reid.

The experienced Reid immediately raised his shield to block while swinging his knight's sword at the green shadow without hesitation.

Sparks flew as the green shadow borrowed the force of the sword to strike one of the Night Watchers.

The green shadow was so fast that it disappeared in the blink of an eye. The Night Watcher only felt a sharp pain on his neck before his vision blurred and collapsed to the ground.

"My apologies, you came too late" Isrig's voice resounded along with the hissing of the snake: "That was only the last layer of my human skin that I left behind"
