Chapter 600 Two Saints
"Before coming here, I asked Lord Krestai to bring me the previous case files and review your previous combat records."
Facing the members of the "Red Gloves" team, Lu Ze calmly said, "As you can see, you've put in a lot of effort, but the results have been poor. For example, tracking down a demon who performs an evil ritual took almost a month..."
Leonard couldn't help but raise his head from the crowd.
Isn't this the case our team is handling?
In an instant, he felt both embarrassed and angry. Embarrassed because the other person was telling the truth, and angry because his many days of hard work had been so casually dismissed. As for their captain, Soster, he seemed even more uneasy.
"...Of course, there are many reasons for these situations."
Luzer noticed Leonard's reaction. He had only come to know about the case because he had seen the name of an acquaintance while reviewing the documents. "I don't intend to pursue anyone's fault or criticize anyone... but as the people who are supposed to be the elite of the Night Watch Church, protecting the safety of the believers in the capital of the kingdom, it is somewhat laughable that you have shown such results to the church."
A commotion arose among the crowd, but no one spoke.
The new deacon spoke quite fiercely, unlike the traditionally reserved people of Rune; he went straight to the heart of the matter from the moment he opened his mouth.
"So, Your Excellency Ishmael, what do you intend to do?"
One of the team members with red gloves mustered up his courage and asked.
"That's a good question."
Lu Ze nodded. "I think a very important reason is that your understanding of evil forces is not deep enough."
"Therefore, I will teach you what the insane ideas of cultists are, the various corrupting rituals with different effects, the different evil gods worshipped by different twisted sects, and their corresponding mystical symbols..."
As an extraordinary individual who has mastered the Mystic Path and survived dealings with numerous evil gods, he is confident in his expertise in this field.
Understanding the mindset of cult members can greatly help in investigating cases; this is self-evident.
Under the astonished gazes of his teammates, Luze calmly said, "Of course, you will not only master this knowledge, but I will also lead you to put it into practice. Not to mention anything far ahead, at least within Backlund, we need to clean out those disgusting cockroaches."
He was referring, of course, to the Aurora Tour.
From a public perspective, this is about eliminating cult members, which helps maintain order and faith in the parish; from a private perspective, the aurora borealis is an enemy of theirs, so it's a good opportunity to use official power to eradicate it.
Backlund, East District, in a dark room.
"Well then, let's call it a day."
A hooded man spoke calmly, his voice echoing in the room.
"Yes, esteemed Mr. X."
All the guests at the gathering rose to their feet in unison to greet him, their eyes filled with awe. This mysterious Extraordinary One possessed extremely strange abilities; powerful Extraordinary Ones had attempted to challenge him, only to be easily defeated. Even official Extraordinary Ones had tried to capture him multiple times, yet he had still managed to escape inexplicably.
After evacuating the crowd, Mr. X, Louis Wayne, lowered his hood and walked into a room at the back.
Only one candle was lit in the dimly lit room, casting a dark shadow on the wall as the light flickered.
In the shadow cast by the candle, at the edge of the light, in the darkest of places, there was a strange figure. As if it had suddenly come to life, the shadow was constantly writhing.
And sitting at the table where the candles were placed was a peculiar man.
He was dressed in a mysterious black robe, his brown hair was slightly curly and stiff, and his eyes were deep and sparkling. He was focusing all his attention on a crystal ball, which was neither clean nor transparent, but rather murky and heavy, as if it were filled with opaque black liquid.
"Sage Butis, we still haven't found any trace of the Blood Cultivator."
The seemingly imposing meeting host, "Mr. X," was now respectfully addressing the man in the room, asking, "What's next?"
"Hmm. It's alright, just continue the investigation and keep releasing information."
The mysterious man opposite him didn't even take his eyes off the crystal ball before casually dismissing Mr. X.
"Yes, Your Excellency, 'Sage of Mystery'."
What else could Louis say? He could only bow to the other person and then turn and leave.
Who could blame him when the person before him was stronger than him and followed the same path? Not to mention, it was he who led many apprentices in the struggle against the Abraham family, ultimately succeeding in joining the Aurora Society…
That's right, this "Sage of Mystery" is the one who betrayed the Abraham family, causing the deaths of many innocent members. His real name is "Sage of Mystery" Butis, and after so many years, he has become one of the five saints of the Aurora Society.
After Louis Wayne left, Butis continued casting spells on the crystal ball, which flashed with an eerie light for a moment—looking like crimson skylight—before quickly fading into silence.
Seeing this, Butis took a deep breath and adjusted his posture.
"How did the divination go?"
At the same time, the black shadow projected onto the wall spoke, "Have you found any trace of that blood cultivator?"
"Unfortunately, no."
Boutis shook his head, his brow furrowed. "All I can see is a sea of blood... and that red feels more like a warning, lurking with an extremely dangerous aura. If we go any deeper... I might be the one going mad today."
"But we must share the Lord's burdens."
"A black shadow," said "The Dark Saint" Kesma, with an unusual fanaticism, "According to intelligence, he has already made contact with the evil Goddess of Night, and even His Highness Urolius failed to capture him... If we don't stop this blasphemer, he will advance further and continue to sabotage our Aurora Society's organization!"
"Don't worry, there's no need to be so concerned."
"The Mysterious Saint," Butis chuckled, "I've already laid out the bait. Given that blasphemer's obsession with the Lord, if he's in Backlund, he'll surely come knocking sooner or later. And then..."
A small jewelry box had appeared in his hand without his noticing. "Even if that blood cultivator is as powerful as the legends say, I can use this to buy some time and wait for Prince Urolius to make his move... For my lord..."
"Swish, swish!"
The shadow swayed for a moment, and then a human figure emerged.
"Everything is for the Lord."
"The Dark Saint," Kesma emerged from the shadows and solemnly declared.
