It's a hell game, who can still be a human being?

He turned his eyes to the gold cup, and the item introduction popped up immediately.

"Name: Tomel's Holy Grail"

"Type: Miscellaneous"

“Quality: Excellent”

"Effect: Cooperating with the ritual can enable communication with the higher-ups."

"Note: It rises because of it, and it falls because of it."

“Can I take out a copy: Yes”

"very good."

Liu Zheng put away the cup and looked at the old woman.

"Where are the other Holy Grails?"

he asked.

There is more than one Holy Grail in the City Hall's inventory, so you will definitely get extra points if you can collect a complete set.

"There must be some in the Karkalens Academy. It was they who initiated the frenzy of exploring the ruins of Tomel."

The old woman said firmly.

"As for the Blood Healing Church, it should also have it. According to the information we have discovered, their 'blood healing' technology is also derived from the heritage of the Tomel civilization."

She thought for a moment and then spoke again.

"Give me your information channels."

Liu Zheng said.

It is more convenient to communicate directly with the source of intelligence than the old woman's retelling.

The old woman looked hesitant.

"What? You don't even want to do this?"

He raised his eyebrows.

"It's not that I don't want to tell you, sir, it's just that the informant hasn't contacted us for a long time."

The old woman sighed.

They had no idea whether they were exposed, had an accident, or betrayed.

"It's okay. Give me the way to contact him. Just in case."

Liu Zheng said.

"Ok."

The old woman took out a whistle from her robe and handed it to him.

"After you blow the whistle, he will hear the sound if he is nearby. If he is willing to come out to see you, you can tell him that you have passed the baptism, and he will cooperate with you."

He took the whistle, but no item introduction popped up.

"Where is he?"

Liu Zheng put away his whistle and asked.

"It was in Karkarens College before, and we don't know where it is now."

The old woman shook her head.

"Okay. So where is Karculens?"

"Go and fetch the map for my Lord."

The old woman instructed the helmeted man.

The man with the helmet nodded and went to the warehouse to get a map.

Liu Zheng unfolded it and saw that the map was drawn quite detailedly.

It can be seen from this map that the Church of Suffering still has the idea of ​​revival.

Judging from the map, their current location is in the center of New At, which is the far right side of the map.

The Karkarens College is located in the southwest of New Athens, at the bottom of the map.

The center of the entire map is not New Ate, nor Old Ate, but the church town of the Blood Healing Church.

"This map was not drawn by you, was it?"

Liu Zheng shook the map and asked.

"How did you know?"

the old woman asked in surprise.

"Isn't that nonsense? If you drew it, could you put the church town in the center?"

He rolled his eyes.

"Your wisdom is as profound as your pain. This was indeed obtained for us by the informant."

the old woman praised.

"Um, Mr. Liu Zheng, can I see this map?"

Anko, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up.

"sure."

Liu Zheng nodded.

"Thank you."

Anko came over and took the map, then rubbed his fingers over the area of ​​old At on the map.

"Ugh!"

After a while, he sighed.

"Don't look at it anymore. The old Ater has become history. Your present and future are in the new Ater. Your family is here too. Look forward."

Liu Zheng patted his shoulder with his tentacles.

"I understand. Thank you for your advice."

Anko gave the map back to him.

"Speaking of which, how is Old Art doing now?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"Old At has been burned by fire, and the entrance has been sealed by the church. If there are still living things, they are probably wild beasts."

Anko said somewhat sadly.

He nodded, thinking about something.

Old Ater has been closed for decades, and with the wild beasts still surviving inside, the production rate of blood gems should be quite high.

However, Old At is still listed as a backup, and the priority is to obtain ready-made blood gems through the channels of the Blood Healing Church.

But if the Blood Healing Church doesn't have enough stock, then he can only go to Old At to purchase it.

Although those residents with beast disease are a bit pitiful, turning into wild beasts is equivalent to death.

The living are more important than the dead.

"Arrange a room with good soundproofing for me, and lend me this."

Liu Zheng said, pointing to the box used for the baptism.

"My lord, what do you want?"

"Of course we need to get some intelligence, using the Metropolitan method."

He looked at the unconscious hunter and smiled.

Everyone shuddered at his smile, even the calico cat shrank its ears.

Ten minutes later, Liu Zheng walked out of a room with an unhappy look on his face.

"Sir, is the intelligence not going well?"

the old woman asked cautiously.

"No, it was too smooth."

He said with a snort.

This hunter looked like a tough guy, but he turned out to be a wimp during the interrogation.

Liu Zhengcai carved a few flowers on his body and he confessed everything.

I don’t know if it’s because he’s too weak or the “Master of Interrogation” is too effective.

However, this hunter's status is not high and he doesn't know much.

Now the hunters in Art are divided into two groups, one is the workshop hunters and the other is the church hunters.

Workshop hunters are equivalent to mercenaries. They will obey the orders of the church, but they also have their own independence.

Art has several workshops, and each workshop is good at making different equipment, and the fighting style of the hunters belonging to it is also different.

There is both cooperation and hostility between workshops.

The church hunters are directly under the church and accept orders directly from the church's top leaders. Their equipment and supplies are directly supplied by the church, and they are the strongest.

Moreover, unlike the workshop hunters who are basically outsiders, many of the church hunters are local people from At.

It is said that this is due to the philosophy of Beethoven, the church's chief hunter.

He viewed hunters as the protectors of Ater, and so worked to recruit hunters among the natives of Ater and train them to protect their homeland.

This hunter is named Verus, and he is a hunter affiliated with the "Iron Saw" workshop.

The characteristic of their workshop is that they like to use various types of meat saws and almost never use other melee weapons.

The urban area near Anke's home is the responsibility area of ​​the "Iron Saw" workshop.

As for the truth about lycanthropy and the Pale Night, Varus knew nothing.

He knew about blood gems. There were some in the "Iron Saw" workshop, but the quality was not very high.

If there is a large number of high-quality blood gems somewhere, it must be the workshop of the church hunter.

Liu Zheng opened the map and looked at the center of the map.

Now we have to go to Church Town.

265. Chapter 264: The Chief Hunter and Grand Priest of the Church

265.

A man carrying an unsheathed greatsword walked into the hall, his eyes fixed on the main altar of the church.

On each level of the main altar, there are symmetrical statues wearing hooded robes, all of which have their hands raised as if praying for something.

Only the statues on the top floor are different.

It was a headless statue, holding a bottle in its hand and pouring some liquid down.

On the lowest level opposite the bottle, which is also the table in the center of the entire main altar, there is a human skull.

A man in a white hooded robe was kneeling in front of the skull with his hands clasped together as if in prayer.

A few strands of silver hair fell from the hood and fell on slender pale fingers.

"Grand Patriarch Amelia."

The man shouted.

"Ah, Maestro Beethoven."

The woman responded softly, as if waking from a dream.
