Chapter 244

For the past three years, the number of Gears of Impurity that escaped from Negri's hands wasn't small at all. Some of them appeared in Lohr, while others were brought to other areas to be released.

However, Darr was too weak three years ago, so he didn't even know that the Gears of Impurity were one of Negri's means.

And when he grew stronger, the Gears that appeared either in other areas or because he had something he needed to take care of.

"Starting from when the Gear first appeared, the location and time of its appearance, as well as the abilities it brings, are all related" Darr's expression was fanatical as the scene from three years ago replayed in his mind.

"After my research, although I still don't understand what this means, I've found this pattern" Darr stood up with a pair of snake-like eyes full of excitement.

"Sir Negri, you must have foreseen this already" Darr laughed maniacally as he walked out from the basement, leaving Fye and Luo with expressions of fear.

"Perhaps only a pervert like him would worship that one so fanatically" Fye sighed. The two brothers originally believed themselves to be geniuses, having talents that mortals didn't have. However, after joining the Hermit Order, they also yearned to join the strongest organization, wanting to join Negary's side. But as they stood in front of the laboratory, they couldn't help but cower.

In the face of fear, they admitted their lack of talent and failed to pass Negri's test.

The bell that signified the arrival of night slowly rang, most of the residents had already returned to their homes to avoid the monsters that came out to hunt at night.

The entire city instantly fell silent. The next part of Lohr belonged to the monsters.

An ordinary golden retriever was slowly walking on the street, whimpering. If one took a closer look, they would notice that something was wriggling and twisting underneath its thick fur.

A bit of bright red blood flowed down from its body, the ominous moon slowly rose to the sky. Under the moonlight, the dog's body twisted even faster.

"This ominous feeling" quite a few people in Lohr looked up at the same time.

"Has that blasphemy spread again?" The Archbishop stood on the balcony of the cathedral and looked into the distance. Under the effect of his divine technique, the entire town of Lohr was within his vision, which was filled with various abnormal energy reactions.

"Is our decision really correct?" Most of the time, the archbishop and Negri had a tacit understanding. Their battle tended to be a healthy competition, and both sides avoided hurting each other's foundation.

It was this tacit understanding that allowed the Impure Hermit Order's forces to grow so quickly, as well as the Sun Shadow church's reformation.

Without enemies, the church wouldn't have any motivation to reform, and the conservative faction would once again gain the upper hand. Because of that, for the Sun Shadow church, a Hermit Order with a certain level of strength was indispensable.

"With the protection of the True God, everything will be fine." The Archbishop knelt in front of the statue in repentance and prayed. However, when he thought of the ominous aura, the Archbishop still felt a deep sense of worry.

"The Seventh Street has discovered another Beast of Blasphemy. Requesting for reinforcements!" The voice came from a purplish black trumpet flower. A young man with neatly combed hair nodded and calmly arranged the appropriate people.

"Sir Green, the lord of the Saint Hunters has arrived" A man wearing a Night Watcher uniform and a beak mask knocked on the open wooden door and respectfully reported.

Three years ago, when the Night Watchers began their reformation, this young man called Green Carole quickly stood out from the crowd. Through his calm and efficient commanding abilities, as well as his charisma that could subdue even villains, he became the highest commander of Lohr's Night Watchers.

"Captain Chromie, welcome" in the meeting room, Green met Chromie. Both of them were young men.

As soon as he saw Green, Chromie was a bit stunned, then shook Green's hand and explained some information regarding the Beast of Blasphemy as well as its source, the Gear of Impurity. After discussing their future battle coordination, Chromie led his men away.

"That guy …" Chromie held the longsword in his hand, his expression uncertain. Basic information about Clint Carole appeared in his mind.

"The younger brother of the late Red Sun Knight Reid. Because he couldn't fulfill the faith requirement of a church knight, after his elder brother's death, he chose to join the then-reformed Night Watchers"

"In many of the events that followed, he displayed an extremely high level of combat discipline as well as excellent commanding abilities, earning him a great reputation among the scum of the Night Watchers"

"Because of that, after the reformation of the Night Watchers, he quickly became the highest commander of the Night Watchers" Although Chromie no longer felt any fear, recalling the first time he met Green and the way he held the information, he still felt chills running down his spine.

That presence, that posture, even though his appearance and physique were different, Chromie could still confirm that this Green Carole was the founder of the Hermit Order — — - Negri.

"Are the Night Watchers no longer trustworthy?" Chromie wanted to report this to his superiors, but quickly gave up on that thought.

First of all, he didn't have any proof. The fact that the other party was able to become the highest commander of the Night Watchers meant that he must have gone through numerous checks, which meant that the other party had a way to conceal his identity. It was hard to judge based solely on his posture and presence.

Chromie didn't have the courage to do so. Indeed, he didn't have the courage to do so, not because of fear, but because he rationally realized that he couldn't bear the consequences.

Although Chromie wasn't particularly smart, his three years of constant adventuring had broadened his horizons, allowing him to see the bigger picture. Even if he had a way to expose Green's identity, he could foresee that the current balance would be broken, a large portion of the Night Watchers would betray him, and the war between the Church and the Hermit Order would no longer be as intense as it was right now.

Having fulfilled his father's last wish, Chromie no longer had the drive to fight. The reason why he chose to return to his hometown was partly because he wanted to wait for death to come.

Furthermore, Negri didn't have any intentions of concealing his identity, so it's not necessarily true that the Church doesn't know about it. With that in mind, Chromie ultimately decided not to get involved in this matter. The only thing he wanted to do right now was to rescue Auri, everything else would be fine.

From afar, Chromie could already see the creature of blasphemy that the Gear of Impurity had turned into.

It was a canine creature that stood over 5 meters tall, its seemingly skinned body still had a few strands of golden fur on it. Its body was still constantly mutating, black veins could clearly be seen wriggling within its flesh.

The sound of its heartbeat could be heard clearly, followed by the sound of gears turning.
