Huangtie City.

A cluster of luxury villas in the heart of the city.

At night, one of the villas was brightly lit, and figures were moving in the courtyard, as if they were having some kind of party, and it was very lively.

The owner of this villa was a well-known iron ore merchant named Yarlin in Huangtie City, who had a wide range of friends and good relations with many members of the city council.

Today, Mr. Yarlin held a feast because of the conclusion of a big deal, and an agreement was reached with the Imperial military to trade iron ore as the main commodity for three years.

Although a large part of the reason is that the two countries are at war, and the military needs a large amount of iron ore smelting equipment, for Yarlin, it doesn't matter what the reason is, as long as it can make money.

To this end, the owner of the villa, Yarlin, invited many nobles, celebrities and business dignitaries to have a barbecue party in the courtyard.

Young and beautiful women, wandering among the big people, smiling and accompanying the men's conversations, presenting a picture of drunkenness.

At this time, Arrin temporarily escaped everyone's sight and entered the basement under the pretext of going to the bathroom.

The Iron Ore Merchant is only his outward identity, but behind the scenes, he is also a mad believer in the Chrysalis of the End.

Today's party is just a disguise to cover people's eyes and ears, and the purpose is to help the Esoteric high-ranking and the monks of the Red Apple Church to provide an opportunity to meet.

The well-designed basement is a temporary stronghold of the Chrysalis of the End, and the interior is spacious and bright, even larger than the living room of the villa on the surface.

Romance

The heavy walls are nailed with special wood and are excellent for sound insulation.

The basement is filled with bookshelves, full of books related to the occult, as well as treasures unique to esoteric Buddhism.

In the center, surrounded by bookshelves, are four large couches and a high-end round table.

At this moment, there are three high-ranking members of the Esoteric Sect, as well as the two leaders of the Red Apple Church.

The two sides sat opposite each other, behind the sofa, and their respective men.

"Lord Priest, everything is normal above."

Yarlin came behind the three middle-aged men and women, bowed down and said.

"Well, we don't have to worry about you, but don't stay here for too long, so as not to arouse unnecessary suspicion."

A one-eyed man said calmly.

"Yes, I see."

Yarlin replied.

The leader of the Red Apple Church is named Gallup, who wears the usual crimson monk's robes, and his white face looks more like a scholar.

At this point, Gallup said:

"Mr. Hogan, can we speed up the project a little more, oh, I'm sorry, it's not that we're impatient...... But now the church has been targeted by the authorities, and the power of various regions has been suppressed. ”

He paused, shrugging.

"And there's also a murder club madman who's been hunting the clergy of the church lately, and even sniffed out our team by accident......"

"I know, of course we do."

The one-eyed man named Hogan grinned.

He took a sip from his glass, the red, sticky liquor in it more like some kind of drink mixed with blood.

"Recently, the movement of your church has been too great, and I am afraid that no one in the entire empire is unaware of it...... Of course, I don't know if it's prestige, but it's certainly not a good reputation. ”

Hogan sneered.

A female Esoteric high-ranking person sitting beside him said coldly:

"The amount of mystical substances and sunset chrysanthemum dew is too small to arrange continuous prayer ceremonies for the time being, so the plan can only be postponed."

Gallup, the monk of the Red Apple Church, groaned.

"We are very sincere, and this time we have not only brought the high-order flesh and blood material that your Esoteric Sect craves, but also the lost knowledge of the sanctification ritual......

Could it be that the chrysalis of the end has been reduced to a point where it is unable to make up even the basic prayer ritual materials? ”

The faces of the three Esoteric Sect leaders became ugly.

They and the Red Apple Church have gone the same way, but they don't deal with each other.

Recently, the Red Apple Church has been sentenced by the Sun Royal Family to officially deprive the Orthodox Church of its name, but as the former Seven Orthodox Churches, the background is indeed several grades higher than the Chrysalis of the End.

Now that they are secretly ridiculed by the other party and express their sore spots, they are a little bored.

At this moment, a member of the Esoteric Sect of the Chrysalis of the End came to the basement quietly, strode over to the three high-level people, and whispered a few words.

As a mid-sequence transcendent, Gallup overheard what the other party said word for word.

He chuckled, looked at the top of the Esoteric Sect whose faces were getting more and more ugly, and said:

"It seems that your Esoteric Sect has not been having a good time lately...... Unexpectedly, within one day, five members died one after another, and a small stronghold was directly eliminated among them. ”

"It's rude to eavesdrop on someone's conversation, Mr. Gallup."

The one-eyed Hogan said.

"And maybe it was the madman your church who did it......"

His last words were a bit of a gritted tooth.

Seeing this, Gallup smiled at each other's companions.

People are always like this, they will feel depressed when they are unlucky, but as long as someone is as unlucky as themselves, they will find comfort.

"Mr. Hogan, I'll just say it, it can be regarded as an expression of deeper sincerity......"

Gallup put away his smile and became serious.

The three high-ranking Esoteric Sect leaders led by Hogan frowned slightly, not knowing what the other party was going to say.

"This time, we are here to cooperate with the Gui Esoteric Sect on behalf of Archbishop Rafa, and it is only Lord Rafa who wants to have a conversation with Lady Dark in person."

Gallup said, unbuttoning his robe from his chest, revealing his chest.

Hogan and the others' faces changed slightly.

On the other party's chest, there was a human face with closed eyes.

The facial features are deep, bewitching and handsome, and it is the face of the Archbishop Rafa of the Red Apple Church.

"You're ...... Willing to act as an advent vessel for the upper echelons of the church?! ”

The corners of Hogan's eyes twitched slightly, he didn't expect the monks of the Red Apple Church to be so crazy.

Gallup closed his robe, his white face with a calm expression.

"It's nothing to make a sacrifice for Lord Rafa...... As long as my body is a shell, I can provide her with enough convenience. ”

The incarnation of a high-level transcendent, whether there is an exact container or not, and the amount of power that can be carried is completely different.

It's like the current Gallup, who sacrificed his body to use Rafa as an incarnation container, which is several notches more powerful than the incarnation that Rafa directly created.

"So in order not to disappoint Lord Rafa, we will take out the Murder Club killers who are following us, and by the way, remove the perpetrators for you...... I just hope that you will be able to prepare the necessary ...... for the ceremony as soon as possible."

Gallup said.

Hogan and the others took a deep breath and finally nodded.

Huangtie City.

Under a gloomy stone bridge.

With a pop, the blade pulled out of its body, splattering a handful of blood.

Playing with his dagger, Drinker lit a cigarette for himself, leaned against the wall under the bridge, and smoked.

Smoky.

His gaze looked at the three corpses on the ground and sneered.

"Chrysalis of the End...... I didn't expect to get together with the Red Apple Church. ”

Drinker smoked a cigarette, and through the smoke, he suddenly remembered his life.

After he was originally a nobleman, although his family was in some decline, with his father's baronial title and the wealth accumulated by his ancestors, it was enough for him to live a rich life.

But a disaster that happened when I was young shattered all peace.

Drinker's family is embroiled in a conspiracy and is robbed of their fortune by an unfamiliar Sequence 8 transcendent.

The man brutally murdered his parents.

even insulted his brothers and sisters one by one in front of him, killed them, and finally devoured them.

If the investigators from the shelter hadn't arrived in time to scare away the murderer, I'm afraid he would have been hiding in the cabinet.

However, it has also caused serious psychological trauma to it.

Young Drinker vows revenge on the transcendent.

Later, through his father's network of friends, he learned about the mystery and came into contact with the extraordinary. After years of exploration and research, he finally got a chance to become a transcendent.

And the traces of the enemy have also been touched by him a little over the years.

That man was a monk from the local Red Apple Church!

What the other party did was just for a promotion ceremony, and the family property and wealth were just incidental additions.

After committing his crimes, not only was he not punished, but he rose through the ranks of the church and became the most powerful priest in the local church.

Whenever he saw that guy, it seemed that Drinker could hear the wails of his parents and siblings.

At that moment, he profoundly understood that in his eyes, ordinary people were nothing more than the food for promotion, and the delicious fruits picked at will.

The connivance of the empire and the incompetence of the asylum make Drinker furious.

He went into hiding, trudging his way through the sequence, and at the age of twenty-five, he struck down his enemy.

After nearly ten years, he finally completed his revenge, but the enemy laughed at him before he died, saying that what happened to their family was only caused by the orders of the church's higher-ups, and they were an inconspicuous member of the countless victims.

Drinker fled in disarray.

He had no post-vengeance at all, only deep coldness and anger.

He is also wanted by the Red Apple Church for the murder of the priest of the Red Apple Church.

After years on the run, perhaps the god of fate secretly manipulated his veins and allowed him to successfully join the murder club and thus gain refuge.

The flames of revenge have not stopped, and Drinker has been waiting for an opportunity to take revenge on the Red Apple Church. This church, which is glamorous on the surface but cruel and evil behind the scenes, is the real culprit!

Now, Drinker has finally waited for this day.

The Red Apple Church has unleashed a turmoil that has spread across the Empire, and they have become the target of everyone's shouting.

Although the empire was drawn up by the United Kingdom of Anlong in the west, the other six righteous God churches also sent extraordinary forces to encircle and suppress the Red Apple Church.

Drinker spontaneously participates in the hunt against the Red Apple Church.

However, he was alone.

The companions only had a short knife in their hands, and a balag necklace on their chests.

"Dude, I don't like you, but this time, you're the only one fighting with me...... Even if my body falls apart, please support me to fight. ”

Drinker played with the hideous necklace hanging from the bottom of his neck and said quietly.

The Barag necklace began to wriggle on its own, and spiky "balls of wire" began to spread along his neck and chest, towards his limbs and skull.

Finally, spread all over the body.

Drinker transformed into a rusty knight, dragging his hideous barbed armor and slowly walking forward.

Disappeared into the moonlight.
