The Void Church, also known as the Dark Church.

A mystical religious organization that believes in Barot, the Serpent of Nothingness and End, the Lord of the Dark Void, no one knows when and where this organization was founded, what its purpose or doctrine is.

And the only thing they know is that the disciples of the Void Holy See call themselves the Cultists of the End, hoping to turn the world's qiē into nothingness and let Elend return to the End.

They are secretly creating chaos around Elender in an attempt to cause war and give Barot a chance to return to Elend.

In the game, the content of the third chapter [Dark Invasion] is related to the Cultists of the End, or it should be said that Barot's subordinates, the invasion war of the Void Demon was created by the Cultists of the End.

After Elwin knew that Weber's identity was that of the Sect of the End, his heart had suddenly realized, and a series of doubts were solved.

The Iron Hammer attacked the villages of North Sunderland under the guise of Lourenzo's army in order to provoke a military conflict between the two countries, deepening their tensions and hostility towards each other, which would eventually become the fuse of war over time.

In the game, before the opening of the dark invasion in Chapter 3, North Sunderland and Lorenço had already broken out a small war on the border, and it had a tendency to quickly spread into a full-scale war.

Later, some players who knew the situation broke the news on the game forum that this was another masterpiece of the End-of-life cultists, but at that time, many people were concerned about the demon invasion, and few people looked back to the situation in the human country.

The reason why this bandit group spent a lot of manpower and material resources to build a walled city on the Iron Hoof Plain was not for looting at all, but as a logistics base, which provided them with the convenience of impersonating the army to attack the village, which also indirectly explained why the steeltooth hammer never left a living mouth and accepted the ransom.

The robbers are just a side business of the Steel Tooth Hammer, and the looting income can only be regarded as additional income, and the Sect of the End is the big money behind them, and this person called Weber should be the real person in charge of the Steel Tooth Hammer.

The night owl's stronghold was terminated, probably because the spies in Tórshavn had suspicious points or information about the steel-toothed hammer in the area of the Iron Hoof Plains, an area with frequent military conflicts, and after they handed over the information, they did not expect that there would be spies planted by the Sect of the End in the night owl.

The spies at the top of the Night Stalkers in turn handed over the information to the Steel Tooth Hammer, asking them to directly eliminate the spy stronghold of Tórshavn, cutting off a single clue.

And judging by the historical course of the game, they have succeeded.

"What a mess!"

Erwin exhaled slowly outside the window, his mood suddenly a little depressed, he didn't expect that a seemingly simple task would involve so many things in the end.

The Cultists of the End are a group of ghosts in the game, whose identities are difficult to reveal, and are hidden in almost every class of Elendre, including commoners, knights, nobles, and even the king of a small country.

They are like shadows, breeding wildly in dark places that the light can't reach, like parasites firmly attached to the history of the main game, and many conspiracies and trajectories that try to subvert peace and cause war can show traces of their activities in them.

These end-of-life cultists are even jokingly referred to by players as the Terminators, a nomendich from a very old movie that is a metaphor for their undying entanglements for the sake of their ends.

The Void Cult and the Cultists of the End are mortal enemies of the fire of civilization, and Erwin has dealt with this group of villains with the spirit of ****** civilization in the game, and they are almost the most hated hostile antagonists of all players. But hate is hate, and while spitting on it, I also have to admit that the strength and difficulty of this group of villains are very rare.

And Erwin, whose strength is only weak now, doesn't want to have any entanglement with them, which is almost like looking for death.

Of course, this does not mean that Erwin has to give up this task now, it has reached the point where he will naturally not run back in vain, he is not timid enough to be like that.

It's just that after rescuing Hall, even if there is a follow-up mission, Erwin probably won't accept it anymore.

After listening outside the window for a while, Erwin poked his eyes into the room, and now Cyril and Wilbur had already left, presumably to see the locked Hale.

There is no Hall on the first and second floors of this building, so there is no doubt that he is locked up on the third floor.

Erwin observed that there was no place to climb up to the third floor, so he could only take a deep breath, then carefully climbed through the window and entered the room on the second floor, paying attention to the movement upstairs and downstairs, and quietly walked towards the staircase that led to the third floor.

I climbed up the stairs to the third floor, and the environment on the upper floor was the same as the two floors below, so simple that there was no furniture, only an empty long hall connected to two rooms separated by a wall.

The two rooms were bright and dark, and there was a faint sound of talking in the room with the fire.

Erwin took a deep breath and slowly approached with his body down, intending to hide in the empty room.

This is almost no less than the thrilling situation that was almost revealed by Cyril before, as long as the people in the room come out, or turn around, they can appear in the long hall.

Fortunately, the other party was not too vigilant in the core area of his territory, and Erwin walked through the door of the room with the fire and hid in the dark room.

Sure enough, Hall is being held here.

As he walked through the doorway of the room, Erwin glanced into the room, and in addition to Cyril and Wilbur's two obvious figures, one tall and one short, there was also a middle-aged man sitting cross-legged on the floor, with a thick black chain attached to the wall on his hand.

Erwin ducked into the pitch-black room next door and leaned against the wall, pricking up his ears as he tried to steady his beating heart.

Fortunately, Wilbur's voice was loud enough for Erwin to be heard clearly even from a wall.

At this time, in the room of the three of them, the conversation had just begun.

"Mr. Hall, when we first met at a banquet in Tórshavn two years ago, you probably didn't think there would be such a day, did you?"

There was a hint of irrepressible pride in Wilbur's voice, this man who was so arrogant that he disdained to look at him at the beginning had now become a humiliating prisoner, life and death could not help himself, but he was in the hands of this "little man" who used to look down on him.

"Vincent. Wilbur, son of Baron Joseph, hereditary knighthood of the lowest rank, midshipman of the third rank of the court, runs an ordinary textile shop in Tórshavn, with an ordinary income, ordinary popularity, and a mediocre personality, this is your superficial identity. ”

Erwin heard a low, hoarse voice, which was clearly Hale's talking, and casually told Wilbur's information.

The spy leader looked up at Wilbur, smiled weakly, and asked, "Sue me Wilbur, what is your other identity?" ”

"You have no right to know, Mr. Hall." Wilbur squinted his eyes and laughed, he liked the condescending feeling of talking to people, "But I allow you to guess, and if you guess, it doesn't hurt to sue you." ”

Hale glanced at Cyril the Hammer, who stood beside Weber, like a guard, and in his intelligence, this was a powerful person rated as a D-class danger.

"You, who spend nearly a thousand gold on the steel tooth hammer every year, are the real masters of this bandit group, but Wilbur, you will definitely not be behind the bandits impersonating Lorenzo's army to attack the village and provoke a military conflict."

"Oh? Can you tell me why you think so? ”

"Because it is not beneficial to you at all to do this, you have no connections in the legion, and you cannot do war-related military business. Moreover, you do not have the ability and courage to provoke a military conflict or even a war between two countries, and you accept a large amount of money from unknown sources in another identity every year, which proves that you are nothing more than a minion behind the scenes. ”

Although he knew very well that Hall was taking the opportunity to mock himself, which was nothing more than the wailing of a defeated dog, Wilbur couldn't help but feel a burst of annoyance, and at the same time, he was secretly surprised that this spy leader, who had never seen him directly, could gather so much information without making a sound.

"I have to give you a compliment, your information is all correct, Mr. Hall, please continue." Wilbur suppressed his annoyance and smiled pretentiously.

Hale stared at him for a moment, then continued, "Seven days after I handed in the information about the Steeltooth Hammer, I was immediately attacked by you. Aside from the time it takes to deliver the news, such swiftness only proves that there are you in the Night Stalker, and there are more than one of them, and there are not many people who can intercept information and hide the news of the attack on the stronghold! Well, could it be the old guys of the main battle faction in the House of Representatives? Aren't they afraid that Lord Ogden will tear down their old bones? ”

"Good guess, well organized, but, far from the truth, Mr. Hall."

Wilbur's face showed a smug expression, when he was in charge of this matter for the first two years, he was indeed the same as Hall, thinking that it was the group of officials of the main war faction in the Royal Capital Council who secretly did it to hide from the emperor's majesty and Lord Ogden. But when he actually joined that organization, he was shocked to find that the powerful North Sunderland was just a pawn in the organization that was not light or heavy, and was wantonly fiddling.

"Not them?" Hall couldn't help frowning, as a spy leader, the most basic skill is to look at the face, and Hall can also see that the angry Weber is not lying.

So who is behind this qiē?

Hall couldn't help but think deeply, but the more he thought about it, the more frightened his heart became, once the status of this mastermind behind the scenes was higher, the more likely it was that he would drag the country down the quagmire of war.

And all discerning people with a big picture can see that in this hypocritical and peaceful situation, North Sunderland must not be the first country to provoke war.
