ꨡ[6B a~oNy0: Chapter 0830: Shop Chapter 830: Chapter 0830: Shop In the midst of obscurity, a sudden allure erged.
Jenny looked to the east, “I have successfully assimilated the Beast’s blood, becoming an existence that’s part saint, part The Fallen…
I suppressed that eye and also discovered the source of the Curse…
the Dark Serpent!”
“This path, it indeed can be taken!”
She clenched her fist firmly, “Grafting the Beast’s Bloodline indeed works…
Even more, I felt a strong attraction, in the east…
My Fifth Level Saint Marks, are they there too?”
To the east of Xilan City lies a continent where the Sea Tribe and humans coexist, so parts of which have already been colonized, but the depths remain treacherous.
Jenny carefully sensed her own transformations.
...
According to legends, anyone who transplants a Beast’s Bloodline will undergo terrible mutations, especially in terms of Spirit, with cold and cruel dispositions being the best aftermaths.
But she discovered that her spirit and personality had not changed much from before.
The only difference was in her body.
A bronze-like hue appeared on Jenny’s hands.
“Strength greatly increased, and my body tallized…
Now, I could probably resist musket bullets…
This is just a power accompanying the Saint Marks…
Its true manifestation, however, is…”
Behind Jenny, eight chanical-like Spider legs reached out, each one deeply embedded into the ground, incredibly sharp.
“Feels sowhat similar to that Mary…
My Spider Spear, too, carries a strong tallic toxin, capable of infecting the wounded to beco my chanical puppets…”
Severe contamination!
This is also one of the characteristics of Beasts.
After demonstrating, Jenny reverted to her normal human form and sighed.
“A Fifth Level Apostle, no matter where, is a big figure…
If I were in the Church, I could even compete for the Pope’s position…
Alas, I am already The Fallen.”
Sighing inwardly, Jenny returned to the ground-level building, reverting to her identity as Scholar Jenny Black.
Ding dong!
As the bell rang, the sound of the doorbell echoed from outside.
Jenny looked in the mirror, stepped forward to open the door, and saw a middle-aged man holding a silver-inlaid cane, wearing a round hat.
“Miss Black, I apologize for the intrusion!”
He took off his hat and bowed.
“Detective Lofi!”
Jenny nodded her head and invited him into the room, “Would you like a cup of coffee?”
“Thank you, in this weather, having sothing hot to drink is really nice…”
Lofi set down his coat and cane, “But before that…”
He cleared his throat, “According to the task you entrusted to , I must notify you as soon as there’s any lead on that matter.”
“Hmm?
My ntor…
Mister Turing, have you found him?”
Jenny raised her eyebrows.
Tutor Turing had vanished after teaching her for a while, and she had been searching for him for a long ti, keeping the task active with the private detective, paying a service fee every year.
“It really wasn’t easy…”
Lofi, too, was relieved to have completed the task, “Thanks to the Protection of the Mother of Nature, one of my informants just happened to spot him in Rock City.
Here’s the address!”
He handed Jenny a folded note.
“Hmm…”
Jenny took it, glanced at it briefly, “As per our agreent, I will pay the remaining fee after I confirm it.”
“Of course, you are a celebrated scholar of the Kingdom,”
Lofi said with a smile.
He was quite confident in the reputation of such a prominent figure.
…
Rock City.
In the hazy drizzle, a line of people holding black umbrellas slowly erged from the thick fog.
“Varen…
you shouldn’t have co,”
Feiqi said, looking around at the squad of Combat Scholars with a sigh.
“I promise, I’m just watching from the sidelines…,”
Varen stared at Feiqi with a face that feigned sincerity, “And…
there’s also Mister Ernest, the Chief Judge of the Appraisal Office, here, so I won’t have any problems.”
Mister Ernest, the Chief Judge, was one of the high-ranking officials of the Church of the God of Knowledge, who had been an Apostle of the Fifth Level in his early years!
Such a significant figure, of course, would not join them openly but was hidden in the shadows, contactable only by Feiqi and Varen.
“To be honest…
I don’t think we can ask such a being to take action for our cause!”
Feiqi whispered in a hushed tone.
“No…
it’s not that ghost from history…
I think, the reason why the Chief Judge of the Appraisal Office is taking such an interest is because of the newly erged Evil God—Moon Concealer!”
Varen sighed, “This Evil God must be related to history, holding secrets of the ancient past we do not know…
Of course, what’s more important is His identity …
With more and more Evil Gods appearing, and only two Righteous Gods remaining…”
To pursue such an evil entity, naturally, one must task the Grand Judge himself.
However, the amount of information revealed by the other party was scarce, consisting of only so historical data, true or false.
The most conspicuous was the na ‘Turing.’
Even so, it justified a visit from a high-rank Apostle, as matters involving an Evil God required utmost caution.
The mont he ntioned this, even Feiqi couldn’t help but feel a heavy heart.
“Speaking of which…
what do you think about so missionary organizations, like the ‘Death Church’ that has risen in the south again?” Feiqi asked, “To discern evil from neutral organizations, you must look at their doctrines and actions…
The ‘Death Church’ shows no clear inclination toward evil; its mbers are mostly neutral, believing that death should be revered, and that the Nether Sea is the ultimate destination for all…”
“I don’t know…
we haven’t resolved this issue here yet.”
Varen gave a bitter smile, “Even with the wisdom of the many sages within the Church, we may not be able to discern the true nature hidden behind these organizations…”
“Indeed…”
The crowd dispersed on the streets, as Feiqi and Varen entered an apartnt building, climbed to the third-floor, and drew back a curtain, “This position was chosen by our intelligence personnel, it’s just right to see the dwelling of our target in the back street…”
Varen took out a mirror.
This was a mysterious technique; a direct gaze might alert the target, whereas a reflection in a mirror was different.
Imdiately, through the mirrored reflection, he saw a sowhat shabby shop.
“A well-paid academy tutor suddenly gives up everything to open a small shop here?”
Varen scoffed, “And the business isn’t even that good, can you believe it?”
“It’s not necessarily so, maybe he just has that odd hobby,” Feiqi retorted, then fixated on Varen, “You promised , just to take a look and leave, especially during a fight.”
“I understand.”
Varen took a deep breath, “And, I’m not a scholar without fighting ability.”
At that mont, his pupils contracted, “A carriage has arrived, a person got off…
it’s Jenny!
Jenny Black!
The renowned Steam Scholar!”
