Chapter 218
When Negri left the Farnate manor, he paid a bit of attention to the butler Birosius, leaving a few germs in an inconspicuous place to ensure that he would be able to find him if necessary.
After that, he found a bit of meat and produced a large amount of germs to recreate his viral body.
I need a large number of magical rituals and a large amount of data to gain a deeper understanding of the nature of axle rituals. Negri understood very well what he needed. If he were to collect the relevant information by himself, he would have to analyze and run around to collect them, which would be very inefficient.
I need to establish an organization to help me collect information on magical rituals, as well as to explore various secrets. In the images that the will of the world had shown Negri, there were quite a few places with hidden secrets, such as the huge underground city hidden beneath Lohr.
To explore the entrance to the underground city, as well as collect information on various magical rituals, he needed manpower.
As long as he had the resources, Negri could create a large number of attendants' souls. However, although attendants had clear logical thinking and a normal level of intelligence, they still couldn't compare to a normal person in terms of creativity and other aspects.
That's why talent is the key. Negri stood on top of a rooftop, observing what was happening below. Aside from the Sun Shadow church, which held the most authority here, the place with the most talents was naturally the Night Watchers.
In a secluded corner of the city, a Night Watcher was currently hunting.
Brian raised his scimitar as he stared at the monster in front of him.
It was an abnormal creature that looked like a lump of meat. Not too far away, there was a sewer opening, which it had obviously crawled out from. This was the simplest type of monster that wasn't even part of the quota, which meant that there wouldn't be any benefits even if he killed it.
However, this Night Watcher wasn't an expert either.
This monster had been hiding at the sewer opening for a while now. As he passed by, it abruptly leapt out and wrapped itself around his leg like a leech, then stabbed its mandibles into his body to suck his blood.
If he hadn't reacted in time and used his scimitar to cut off his pants and a layer of flesh, he might have already been dragged into the sewer by the monster.
After killing the fleshy creature bit by bit, Brian collapsed to the ground, took out a bottle of medicine and applied it to his leg. While applying the medicine, his cries of pain could be heard from under the owl mask.
But very quickly, he sorted out his emotions. He knew very well that if he couldn't calm down, he wouldn't be able to live for long.
As a criminal who was about to be executed, he chose to join the Night Watch in order to escape punishment. He had already expected this day, just like when he chose to commit crimes for his own desires, he had already expected that he might be caught one day.
His father was a stubborn old man. On the one hand, he squandered a lot of money to hire a priest to heal his body. On the other hand, he had a great desire for power. He held everything in the company in his hands and restricted him in every way.
He couldn't wait any longer, so he prepared to kill that stubborn old man. He hoped that the money he wasted on his broken body would be under his control. Unexpectedly, his assassination failed due to some external factors, so he became a death row prisoner.
"Are you willing?" A slightly magnetic voice traveled over, causing Brian's body to tremble.
"Your talents don't lie in hunting, if you continue like this, you'll soon become a corpse on the streets" Negri stood on the roof, looking down at this Night Watcher and softly told him.
Brian naturally understood this. He was the son of a wealthy family, although he had learned how to use weapons and fight for the sake of safety, as well as frequently exercising, his talents weren't particularly good, and he wasn't proficient in combat.
Brian understood very well that he wouldn't be able to complete his hunting quota, nor would he be able to endure the Corroding Bone Punishment. After that, he would either die during one of his hunts, or commit suicide because he couldn't endure the pain of the punishment.
Even if he was lucky and managed to complete his quota, he wouldn't be able to endure being a dog for the Sun Shadow church, becoming a tool of slaughter. That didn't fit his desires.
"Then, what advice do you have for me, sir?" Brian respectfully prostrated himself on the ground and asked in a low voice.
He was a man who knew how to adapt to the circumstances. The other party might be a cult lunatic or some strange organization, but the most important thing was that the other party had found him. If he listened to the other party's request seriously, there might still be a chance to turn things around.
"The management method of the Night Watchers is extremely simple and crude, they only need tools of slaughter, your talents will only be wasted" Negri descended from the roof, slowly telling him: "I can help you escape the control of the Mark of Vow"
"I am willing to serve sir" Hearing this, Brian immediately chose to submit. He understood very well that if he didn't submit, only death would await him, and he also had his own needs.
He also understood that escaping the control of the Mark of Vow didn't mean that he would be free, instead, he would be controlled by the person in front of him.
But within the ranks of the Night Watchers, he would only become a killing machine, a worthless death. Perhaps he could be put in an important position by this person, as he was a smart person, he naturally knew what choice he should make.
"Very well"
Hearing the other party's praise, Brian didn't dare to look up at the other party's face, but simply by standing in front of him, he felt a sense of pressure that he couldn't resist.
Then, he felt the other party's finger on his forehead.
"Don't move, brain surgery is a very delicate process" Negri spoke in a low voice, then his finger turned into several sharp thorns that pierced into Brian's head, preparing to take out the skull with the Mark of Vow.
A large amount of germs invaded his body, assimilated his scalp, and corroded the skull. At the same time, he used the germs to create an anesthetic to numb Brian's sense of pain, then directly took out the skull and used Negri's germs to construct a new skull.
Tossing the skull in his hand, Negri threw it next to Brian's feet: "The church can roughly locate the mark on it. Before you completely separate from the church, you will need to carry it with you at all times, otherwise, you will be easily exposed"
"I understand, sir Negri" Brian respectfully replied. Negri's germs had replaced a part of his skull, which contained some information, such as Negri's and his germs' information.
If they dared to betray Negri, the germs that had pierced into his skull would instantly destroy his brain and take his life.
"The organization I've established is called the Impure Hermit Order, a gathering of talented individuals to achieve their own goals. Of course, there aren't too many of us at the moment, so you can help me develop the Hermit Order, or collect any supernatural knowledge that I need. Once your contributions are sufficient, I will grant you your freedom and make this place truly yours"
