Chapter 475: Hunting (4800 Added)

Another morning.

Plymouth.

"Cleric" Nicholas Inamu, wearing the formal robes of a Cardinal, was distributing food at a church relief station.

Every "Holy Spirit Church" cleric here had a much kinder attitude than before; perhaps this was the result of competitive differentiation.

At the same time, Nicholas looked toward the direction where the three Imperial God churches had set up their relief stations, his expression turning worried.

In terms of secrecy, the Holy Spirit Church was a complete failure.

Even though they had also organized teams of Extraordinaries, as the Extraordinary squads of the three True God churches actively participated in the kingdom's mysterious affairs, they were gaining increasingly massive influence—this came from a report by the Investigation Bureau Division Six, and its credibility was very high.

Nicholas bowed gracefully: "We have two hours... According to my tracking, that 'Mechanical Mentor' has been hiding in Holger Town, Northwind County."

Even so, he had armed himself to the teeth by purchasing various materials and Talismans.

Nicholas explained with a smile.

Yefunai stepped forward and entered the villa.

His pupils turned into two searchlights, carrying a scarlet gaze, and he spotted Yefunai at once.

"The person is indeed inside."

After finishing his morning duties, he returned to his office and reviewed documents for a while.

The figures of the two vanished instantly.

He tore open his lapels, causing one organ after another that had been modified into a Magical Item to activate.

In fact, Nicholas was also somewhat helpless.

This was the key to a successful hunt!

Then, Yefunai hummed a soft tune, like a serenade under the moonlight.

As a Divination Master, she did indeed feel a bit of unusual fluctuation.

"Ms. 'Fireworks'..."

Uh... at least the cohesion of the "Invisible Cult" was much stronger than that of the "Sunset" School.

As a "Craftsman" of the "Radiance" Third Primordial Substance, he could already produce some time-limited Magical Items; if he utilized Rituals and the power of high-level existences, permanent ones were not much of a problem either.

"Ahem... preparations must always be sufficient, don't you think?"

'But from an objective standpoint, it has forced the Holy Spirit Church's corruption and graft to subside somewhat, especially regarding the attitude of external personnel, which has become much friendlier... This is a forced improvement.'

Yefunai nodded; Nicholas had also paid a great price to get her to act.

And Yefunai, watching this scene, felt her pupils constrict slightly.

An elderly man with graying hair and reading glasses suddenly became incomparably ferocious the moment the lullaby began to play.

The surrounding environment also inexplicably became a bit gloomier; the sunlight seemed to be separated by a thick layer of glass, shifting from daytime to dusk, and even approaching night, in an instant.

"I will attempt to pull the target into a Dream, then give you a signal and mark."

"Then, let's go!"

In the garden within the fence, golden sun-dazzle flowers were planted, looking like an ocean under the sunlight.

By the side of a certain lake, there was a two-story wooden building, and a large fenced enclosure had been built.

Time soon reached noon.

This was not a Magical Item, but a six-pound cannon nearing scrap status from the army; Nicholas had also spent a considerable price to get his hands on it.

Although Extraordinary Magical Items had weird abilities, in terms of absolute destructive power, they were actually a bit inferior to cannonballs, unless one crossed the gate of the Non-human!

And Nicholas, bearing Yefunai's strange gaze, continued to pull a cannonball engraved with numerous alchemical runes from his storage item.

Yefunai said slowly: "I will take the lead in the attack later, you provide support from the side."

Besides this, in the secular world, the three major True God churches were also constantly expanding their influence, such as running church schools, setting up relief stations, etc... combined with some Occultism methods, they gradually earned the title of "Imperial God Church" among the populace.

In the study.

In fact, the battle had long since begun; the Extraordinary intuition of a "Radiance" practitioner was very strong in divination, so at the beginning of her plan, she had utilized the ability of "Shadow" to perform anti-divination measures for the two of them.

The melodious music permeated the villa, causing one manservant and maid after another to fall into an illusion, collapsing into a deep sleep.

He wanted to advance to the Fourth Primordial Substance but lacked the main materials, and after scanning the resources around him, he finally found that the "Lamp Bearer" of the declining "Sunset School" was the most suitable target.

'That Count's power... is indeed even stronger!'

This made the Holy Spirit Church's situation increasingly awkward.

"Mm."

Nicholas nodded and immediately chanted rapidly: "Founder of Mortal World Occultism, inspirer of modern science, wielder of accidents, Aaron Sotos... I pray for your gaze, I pray for your favor, I pray for you to grant me good luck and bestow misfortune upon my enemies!"

At this moment, he dragged a small cannon out of a rare containment-type Magical Item...

Watching Nicholas skillfully operate the small cannon, Yefunai said indifferently.

With the help of the "Shadowless" Spirit World Teleportation ability, Yefunai and Nicholas soon arrived outside a small town.

After the Prayer ended, Nicholas inexplicably felt his confidence increase quite a bit.

More importantly... he had money!

Nicholas continued to smile as he blessed every believer.

"I have already divined it; this trip will surely go smoothly."

'After glory, comes decline... does it seem to be a kind of reincarnation and fate? However... even a Foreign God faith like the 【Green Banyan Tree Grandmother】 can last for a thousand years... the Holy Spirit Church will at most become more decadent in the future, but it will still exist.'

But the next moment, a strange feeling emerged in his throat, seemingly an "accident" caused by catching a cold from the draft last night.

After finishing his lunch, he returned to his room and chased all the servants out under the pretext of needing absolute quiet for a nap.

Nicholas felt no wavering in his heart.

As a Cardinal of the Holy Spirit Church, even though the Holy Spirit Church had already declined, he had still saved up tens of thousands of pounds in wealth for himself!

It was just a pity that his own primordial substance level was too low, and those "Non-human Grade" Magical Items were often priceless and hard to find; otherwise, he would have wanted to buy one for self-defense, allowing himself to become a Non-human combat force.

Immediately following this, a woman with an ordinary appearance but an outstanding temperament walked out of the room; it was none other than "Fireworks" Yefunai!

As members of the same Secrecy organization, at least there was no need to worry about being betrayed.

The old man opened his mouth, about to chant an incantation.

He knew that the reason these believers still worshipped the "Holy Spirit" was merely a habit, a habit accumulated over many long years!

Once the new generation of the kingdom grows up, the final foundation of the Holy Spirit Church will also be gone.

Nicholas, however, felt absolutely nothing and was taking out the props and Magical Items he had crafted one by one.

"Cough, cough!"

He began to cough violently, his face occupied by an expression mixed with terror and distortion.
