Chapter 25: The Unveiler
The Annunciators are like the exorcists in fantasy novels, except that in the safe zone, they play a bigger role, and their existence is not a secret.
The protection of the safe zone against calamity is not absolute, God's protection is like a huge net that can isolate most terrifying existences, but there are always some small dark creatures or strange monsters that can penetrate through this net, this situation is generally called an infiltration event, and some normal people who go out may also be polluted to bring calamity into the safe zone. These strange things may not be devastating to the safe zone, but they are hidden dangers.
It is said that there are only more than 200 people in the Heavenly Council in the City of Darkness, and less than half of the actual combatants, and the assessment of entering the Heavenly Council to become a clergyman is said to be extremely strict. But it's not true that the Celestial Council is just keeping the safe zone alive, as Randall claimed, and ignoring the people who live here.
There is a semi-official organization called "pickets" under the jurisdiction of the Celestial Council, they walk the city to collect, discover and isolate all infiltration incidents, but because the members of the pickets are ordinary people, they cannot solve the disaster, they will only report to the Celestial Council and post it in the form of commissions, and the Celestial Council and ordinary people who urgently need to solve the problem bear the commission fee, so as to attract people who can complete these commissions.
And the only one who can deal with the calamities is the extraordinary.
This is the "unveiler".
Although there are not many wild extraordinary, there are definitely a few, and there are even fewer people who are willing to sell for money.
There are no countries in the Eastern Continent and the Safe Zone, but the real gods and celestial councils will oversee and represent everything, and they have only one treaty for the supervision of the unveilers: any unveilers who make an unusual move in the commission will not be able to set foot in any of the safe zones. This alone will allow the extraordinary person who chooses to be the unveiler not to have any evil thoughts.
In this way, a system is formed.
The Celestial Council even opened a "commission office" for the unveiler's mission, which is located near the Celestial Council complex.
Ye Fang returned to his rented room, and groaned while breaking bread and drinking raw water.
There are wild extraordinaries in the city of the night, and these extraordinaries cannot all inherit the bloodline path through the holy weapon, there must be talented.
In this way, it is impossible for Randall, as a priest, not to know the way of gift.
If he doesn't say it today, he just deliberately doesn't say it.
Before falling asleep, Ye Fang practiced the Shadow Touch for a few more hours, and only after becoming more proficient did he go to bed.
He didn't sleep too deeply all night, but he still had a dream, in which he couldn't see anything, only faintly heard a dream-like murmur, coming from afar.
[The curtain has been lifted, the stage has been set up, the table has been prepared, and the guests have arrived......]
γGourmet ...... How long is it before it is on the table? γ
[Hurry up...... Hurry up ......]
[Shhhh He's not awake yet! He hasn't woken up yet!! γ
[It's still too late!] It's still too late! γ
β¦β¦
Ye Fang opened his eyes and woke up, he had slept for about five or six hours, the night was thick outside, he lit the kerosene lamp, put on a black robe, adjusted his facial expression, and walked out of the door.
The nights are long, the days are short, and most of the people who live here have their routines reversed.
Ye Fang went out at this time, there were still many people moving outside, and there were many shadows on the street, perhaps because the sky was too dark, everything on the street seemed more depressing.
With only five old coins left in his pocket for a few hours, Ye Fang went straight to the building complex of the Tianli Society, and after asking a few very polite clergymen, he went straight to the commission office.
It is worth mentioning that he saw Hu Jiaming pestering Wang Li, who was still guarding outside the main hall church, and shouted with a pale face: "This must be something wrong, how can those two holy weapons not accept me?" Let me in, you and I will try something else, all my money is spent, you can't do this, you are here in the church, how can you treat me like this, Father Randall......"
And Wang Li only stretched out one hand to block him, stopping him outside, no matter how he shouted, his expression was indifferent, and he didn't say a word.
Looking at this scene, the corners of Ye Fang's mouth twitched.
Randall's words are so clear, does anyone really think that they are destined to return?
Ye Fang shook his head and walked into the commission office.
The commission office is also a stone structure, solemn atmosphere, entering the door is the main hall, in the center of a huge stone slab of three squares, on the stone slab, carved nine lines, under each line are hung some wooden signs, wooden cards are written on the corresponding commissioned content.
Ye Fang had already inquired before, these nine lines correspond to the difficulty of the nine-level commission from low to high, and anyone can take the lowest nine-level task, and then it needs to be certified extraordinary, and register here in the Tianli Society to become a real unveiler to obtain an identity nameplate.
And there were two other people in the commission office, one of them was a short nun sitting in the corner, very cute, a little dozing, seeing Ye Fang come in, he didn't mention much spirit.
The other was a young man in his early twenties, who had been standing in front of the stone slab before, and there was a sign hanging from his waist, which was made of special material, which was the certified nameplate of the Heavenly Council.
Hearing the voice, the young man instinctively looked back at Ye Fang on this side and laughed: "Come to take the commission?" I haven't seen you, are you a foreigner? β
Ye Fang was wearing a black robe at this time, buttoning his hood, covering it tightly, he only glanced at the young man, he didn't mean to speak, he went straight to the front of the stone slab, and began to look at the commission above.
After just one glance, Ye Fang's heartbeat accelerated a little.
Because he saw the money.
The above commissions vary, but the commission fee is not less than 10 old coins.
And the young man saw that Ye Fang was gloomy and didn't speak, but instead came up, staring at Ye Fang's somewhat gloomy eyes for a while: "I really haven't seen it, which city are you from?" You can call me Chen. β
Ye Fang didn't say anything, just glanced at him again.
He didn't want to talk to strangers, he just wanted to quickly find a commission to make money.
His gaze fell back on the slate.
The first time you accept a commission, it is mainly to test the waters, you can make less money, but it is best to ensure that it is safe.
It's better to have the kind of money that is not too dangerous.
But the more he saw this, Chen became more interested, and he glanced up and down at the person in front of him.
Black eyes, black robes, almost only one eye exposed, thin, taciturn, but eyes like a falcon......
Chen has seen a lot of people with such qualities, without exception, they are people with experience and experience, and people with such traits appear in this kind of place where only fools and real unveilers who are not able to do anything will appear, and it is still in a dangerous place like Night City, where no one wants to come, then there is only one possibility......
This is a big guy.
At least those who have entered the caste hierarchy.
There are many extraordinary people who don't enter the stream, but there are not many who can advance to the rank in Night City, if you can meet such a person, or cooperate with each other......
Chen's eyes brightened little by little: "Friend, I am a local, and I am also an extraordinary person, an unveiler, I know a lot of people, and I also know a little bit about the doors of several major organizations...... If you need anything, we can ...... together."
Chen Tao paused before he finished speaking, and watched in a daze as this "big guy" with a thin body and eyes like an eagle falcon bent down and took a sign from the end of the ninth gear.
If you read it right, that brand's task is to investigate the most garbage and low-level commission like [Human-faced Mouse]?
This......
Immediately afterwards, a scene that made Chen Geng fall through his glasses appeared.
The "big guy" took the commission and was about to leave, but before he could go out, he was stopped by the nun, and the nun smiled: "That, sir, you have accepted the commission, you need to register, and I also need to give you more detailed relevant information, please wait." β
Sure enough, there are still incompleteness and omissions in the content of the tavern's hearsay...... Ye Fang was stunned for a moment and nodded: "Is that so?" That's troublesome. β
Chen's smile froze.
