WTYTIAAN Chapter 209

Chapter 209

Yan Yunqing was stunned for a moment when he received the message.

How to describe it? It was as if his mind had been poked by an alchemy construct, and then that clumsy alchemy construct started gesticulating, saying, “The thing you asked me to do is done, come and take a look.”

Yan Yunqing was amused by his own mental imagery. Without much hesitation, he linked his consciousness over, and the alchemy construct’s perspective appeared before him.

There were several players around. Because Yan Yunqing had set up the alchemy construct to automatically complete [Filth Hidden in the Shadow of War – Prelude] when players approached, and then copy the quest [Filth Hidden in the Shadow of War] and issue it to the players just like he did with [Broken Bridge, Lingering Snow], Yan Yunqing didn’t need to be here all the time to update quests for players.

Thanks to the alchemy construct’s fully automated quest distribution and completion, although the prologue quest didn’t give much experience, the accumulation from all players doing it was more than he earned from selling items before, and his experience points directly leaped three levels.

Of course, he couldn’t issue this kind of quest frequently. The quests he issued had a monthly experience pool limit, and he had almost exhausted this month’s experience pool. If he wanted to continue issuing this kind of large-scale “harvesting” quest, he had to wait until next month.

Yan Yunqing controlled the alchemy construct, raising its head to look at the player in front of it. The alchemy construct couldn’t speak, so it could only silently stare at the other party.

Yan Yunqing didn’t recognize the player standing in front of him, but he was quite familiar with their ID. He opened the level rankings and saw that the other party’s ID was indeed ranked sixteenth.

Yan Yunqing recalled and confirmed that this ID belonged to an individual player, not an official organization.

“I’ve discovered a clue about the Eternal God Cult!”

Casting a wide net was indeed useful.

The player mysteriously looked around, and after confirming that people around couldn’t hear their conversation, they leaned close to Yan Yunqing’s alchemy construct and lowered their voice, “I overheard the bishop of the church in the east of the city talking to a masked person, saying something about sacrifice, the Eternal Lord. I didn’t hear the details, but it’s definitely related to the Eternal God Cult in the quest.”

After speaking, the player rubbed their hands expectantly, looking in Yan Yunqing’s direction, waiting for the NPC to settle the quest reward.

Yan Yunqing lowered his eyes to think.

Church…?

Today, this alchemy construct had been placed in the city of Castella on the border of Bato Vita. There seemed to be a church in the city, right?

He vaguely remembered such a building. If it was the church bishop, then it could only be someone from the Light Church.

Was the Light Church involved with the Eternal God Cult again?

When Yan Yunqing and Merlin exchanged information after the Mantiper incident, he knew that the two sides had a certain connection. To some extent, their goals were the same, they were both looking for people with ‘talent’.

It’s just that Yan Yunqing didn’t know yet what these two forces were collecting ‘talent’ for. His and Merlin’s previous guess was that they used this ‘talent’ to trade with dignitaries, to exchange talents for them or their mediocre children, in order to make profits.

They were also investigating in this direction, but unfortunately, they hadn’t found any dignitaries suspected of being connected with both parties, except for Berossus who provided the Augreir Family, there were no dignitaries linked to the Eternal God Cult.

And the Light Church was even cleaner on the surface, there was nothing at all. If Yan Yunqing hadn’t deduced from the clues that Mantiper had the support of the Light Church behind him, perhaps they wouldn’t even have been able to find out that Mantiper was related to the Light Church.

These two forces were hiding too deeply.

Yan Yunqing thought for a while and decided to tell Alice, and let Alice go and take a look first. After all, neither of his bodies were nearby, and it would take a while to get over. It would be bad if the person related to the Eternal God Cult in the player’s words ran away.

He confirmed that the player’s quest was successfully submitted, and then cut off the connection with the alchemy construct.

He took out the [Carrier Pigeon] and entrusted the matter to Alice. As he walked back, he opened the door and saw Merlin still racking his brains over planning for the future Sky Descendants.

“Let’s go, Eternal God Cult traces were discovered, want to go take a look together?”

Merlin looked up, his expression became serious, “Eternal God Cult? Then I’ll tell Isabel.”

…

In the end, he didn’t know how it evolved into Merlin, Isabel, Divik, Berossus, and him going to Castella City together.

Yan Yunqing stared at the people in front of him, and finally his gaze landed on Berossus, “I understand them, after all, the Eternal God Cult is what they have always been responsible for, what are you doing here?”

Berossus always used Yucheir’s face in front of outsiders. Hearing this, he showed a small expression that could be called aggrieved, “The Eternal God Cult has ruined several Crimson Mist operations, and even killed a lot of our people, I also have a feud with them.”

Yan Yunqing: …

Before Yan Yunqing could speak, Divik took a step and stood between Berossus and Yan Yunqing, his dark red eyes meeting Berossus’s gaze.

A dragon and a wolf wished they could fight with their eyes.

Divik and Berossus were similar in stature, their heights were close, and they didn’t need to look up or down when looking at each other. Berossus narrowed his eyes, his sharp gaze like blades stabbed into Divik. The ordinary face disguised as Yucheir showed a fierce look that was extremely mismatched with his appearance.

Divik was unmoved, even if he was surrounded by this fierce aura, he didn’t retreat in the slightest. After all, he was the dragon clan, the king of beasts, so naturally he couldn’t be overwhelmed by the werewolf’s aura. He took a step forward, and at the same time released the dragon clan’s pressure. A golden-red scale was revealed below his right eye as the pressure unfolded.

Divik’s pressure immediately overwhelmed Berossus, and the racial advantage was thus manifested.

However, Berossus smiled instead, complex and mysterious magic patterns appeared on his skin, extending all the way down from his neck, collarbone, chest, and finally disappeared into the deep V neckline, but climbed up his exposed waist and abdomen. The dark skin and dark red magic patterns intertwined, outlining a charm that made it impossible to look away.

Somehow, Yan Yunqing felt a little dry, he reacted for two seconds, and pulled up his status bar to take a look. Well, he had been hit by a succubus’s skill.

[Charm]

Yan Yunqing twitched the corner of his mouth, forcibly moving his gaze away from the magic patterns on Berossus’s body, because the magic patterns contained a part of the Demon King’s power, and came from the same source as him, which made him feel a little intimacy.

Weird.

Silver-blue light lit up on Berossus’s arm, his muscles tightened, he slightly crouched down and was ready to attack at any time, his eyes also flickered with silver-blue light, like burning stars.

Divik’s eyes were cold and deep. He had already grasped his greatsword, and his muscles were also tense, his gaze was firmly locked on the werewolf in front of him. If someone looked into his pupils, they would find that his pupils were almost contracted into a vertical line.

Isabel, who was watching, was surprised. Divik had even revealed his vertical pupils? Did he feel such a serious threat from Berossus?

The air between the two seemed to freeze, the tense atmosphere was suffocating, but the other people in it felt a strange atmosphere flowing between the dragon and the wolf.

Yan Yunqing looked at the two who were facing each other tit-for-tat, and he couldn’t help but think of the posts on the forum that rumored that Divik and Berossus were a couple, and he couldn’t help but tactically leaned back.

Hiss… It’s really no wonder the players are randomly shipping, you two really have a ‘love-hate’ atmosphere.

Sometimes I’m really afraid that some rumors will become true as they spread.

Yan Yunqing felt that it couldn’t continue, if it continued like this, the two would have to return to their original forms and have a ‘fierce battle’ where dragon scales and wolf fur flew together like when they were kids.

“Okay.” Yan Yunqing interrupted the confrontation between the two, “Since you want to go together, hurry up, Alice has already started to act, although her level is not low, it’s still a bit dangerous for her to be alone.”

Divik and Berossus didn’t move.

Yan Yunqing slapped each of them, and the eyes of the two suddenly became a lot clearer.

*

Alice had already found the church in Castella City based on the information given by Yan Yunqing.

It was already night, the moon was hidden in the thick clouds, and only a few rays of moonlight could be seen through the gaps. The church in Castella City was not very ornate, but because of the church’s own attributes, it was covered with a layer of solemn veil.

The spire of the church stood tall in the night, looking out from the entrance of the church, as if it was about to break through the clouds on the horizon and pierce into the sky. The yellowish-green vegetation that seemed a bit withered in winter climbed up the outer walls and fences of the church, looking a bit old.

Because of the war, the common people in the city went to bed early every night, and now only the players were still active, of course, this had nothing to do with the church.

The church was located in a remote area of the city. At this time, it was quiet all around, and only a few vague bird calls could be heard occasionally. Alice’s figure standing outside the door was drawn very long.

Alice: …

This was not quite the same as the church in her memory. How did the church in Castella City look so much like—the nests of some legendary monsters?

The style of the church had always been bright and sacred…

Could it be because of the night?

Because the church was too desolate, even in the morning there were very few people who came here. Only some civilians who were seriously injured would come here to try their luck—the church in Castella City was much worse than the church in Loreus City.

At least in Loreus City, if you were willing to spend some gold coins, you could get the treatment of the church’s nuns. Occasionally, when the church’s deacons were there, you could also get some light magic treatment.

*In the Light Church, only those with light magic talents can become deacons or above.

The church in Castella City, or rather, the branch of the Light Church, had declined in recent years. Even the annual maintenance costs were difficult to pay. It was said that this church now only had one bishop left, and other deacons, priests, nuns, etc., had more or less found relationships and left the church in Castella City.

Because Castella City was really too poor, and the Light Church headquarters rarely asked about the situation here. Basically, coming here to garrison was tantamount to ruining their future, and there was basically no hope of leaving.

That was why the church here showed such a decadent appearance, and even the weeds had not been cleaned up, allowing them to sway in the cold wind.

Alice pulled the drawstrings of her cloak. She was wearing a dark cloak tonight, and like her teacher, she used the hood to cover her face, only revealing a pair of bright and beautiful eyes.

It was too conspicuous to come over to investigate in the morning. After Alice learned that her teacher would come over to meet her tomorrow, she decided to come over and scout the road tonight.

Before this, she had already asked people to collect some rumors about this church in the city. According to the few clues, Alice could confirm that the bishop who was still staying in the church in Castella City did not have a very good background. It seemed that he had come from a small mountain village near Castella City.

Because of his poor background, plus his hometown was near Castella City, that was why this bishop had been staying in Castella City, and had not chosen to find an opportunity to leave.

As Alice recalled the news she had inquired about in the city during the day, she heard the sound of dry branches and rotten leaves being stepped into the soil. A footstep was approaching her.
