I changed the timeline with the game.

Chapter 423 Disguise
"Have you known her identity for a long time?"

Krosan asked calmly as she followed behind.

Su Wen nodded without disguising:

"On the night we arrived at the port of return to Signo Province, Viscount Kevins told me everything in order to stop Shelly from taking any risky actions.

Including Shelly's identity.

and that he would swear allegiance to the deceased Earl of the Border, and to protect the heir of the last Earl.

and so.

That’s why I chose Shelly.”

He needed a leader who could convince the people of the Kingdom of Eternal Night. And no one was more suitable than her to be that leader.

Just like [Jeanne d'Arc, the Saint of Lorraine, France].

He continued:
“Krosan.

Twenty minutes later, the task of treating the infected on the steam train will be handed over to you and the available survivors in the church.

As for the elderly and children, just let them take shelter.

Shelly and I will then go to the Astrology Room, one of the three important locations in the royal city.

I'll be there -

Cut off their lifeline."

Su Wen left some time for adjustment.

It wasn't because time wasn't precious for the next operation. Quite the contrary, he wanted to prevent these newly rescued survivors from becoming a burden.

Twenty minutes later.

Accompanied by the extinguishing of the Roman-style hanging lights inside the church.

The crowd disappeared into the darkness in silence.

The surviving residents of Eternal Night are not extraordinary.

But after hundreds of years of screening in the Kingdom of Eternal Night, they, as descendants of the former drifters, have long possessed better night vision abilities.

Therefore, even without the need for lanterns as a night light source, they could hide in the dark and walk silently towards the steam train boarding station in the distance with the antibody injection given by Krosan in their hands.

The young guard next to Su Wen asked nervously:
“Although the elderly and children have been arranged to take shelter.

But the rest, won’t they be discovered by the cultists?”

“The Sleeping Sect won’t have this opportunity.

First of all, the spreading aura of dormancy is the only psychic fluctuation triggered here, which is the first layer of disguise.

Second.

The chaos in the inner city will first attract most of their attention.”

Su Wen took out from his lining pocket an accessory that Randall had previously made at the Meteoric Transport Watch Shop in the trading port, which came with a function to disguise the aura of the abyss.

They were two brooches with black curtains carved on them.

"Next.

Let us not waste the remaining warmth of this deep dream."

He fastened the pin on the girl's chest, not paying attention to her slightly flushed face in the dark night.

Followed by.

After giving myself one too.

He found two relatively intact robes with nameplates from the dead cultist nearby.

He simply used the psychic properties of the Judgment Knight to retain the dormant aura and remove the black tide pollution. He said calmly:
"Don't forget this, put it on."

Shelly was somewhat disgusted by the things of these cultists, but she still obediently put the robe on her head:

"Mr. Rhine, can you tell me what to do next?"

He smiled and said,

"Pretend to be a devout cultist."

The detective put on the black gloves gracefully, inlaid with the emblem that Rendel had engraved, and then put on the cultist's hood.

for this proposal.

The girl couldn't quite understand.

"How do cultists disguise themselves?"

The Kingdom of Eternal Night had never encountered any foreign enemies since its establishment until half a year ago.

The Steam Guards usually just maintain order among the people. Compared to the army, they are more like law enforcers in the town.

and so.

The knowledgeable young guard actually had no idea what the cultists were.

She only knew that the group of people were bad guys wearing black robes.

Su Wen also understood this.

He walked slowly toward the door in a different direction from the survivors heading for the steam train, and explained gently:
“So-called cultists.

They believe in evil gods that are different from orthodox religions.
Compared with the 'co-ecology', 'observation' or 'one-way blessing' of the righteous gods.

Evil gods are more like parasites to civilization.

Therefore, their purpose is the same as that of parasites:
Control civilizations, or choose to completely devour them. Then, choose the next civilization to parasitize.

Like a spreading virus.

You should be able to understand this explanation after receiving basic nursing training at Guidu Port."

That's right.

For Su Wen.

The so-called gods are merely higher-dimensional beings that current science has not yet been able to observe.

As a scholar.

He will always believe in the truth.

"You treat us like bugs?"

Xie Li murmured, with a hint of powerless unwillingness in her words.

"I see.

How can I disguise myself as them?" After seeing how Su Wen summoned the Frost Dragon to freeze the endless tide of corpses, she felt that sometimes she shouldn't delve into these painful things.

It is enough to just believe what Mr. Rhine, Sister Rundel and others say.

The girl thought silently in her heart.

How cunning. But only in this way could she feel less afraid. Only in this way could she gain a little motivation to move forward.

"Don't worry, there are only two things to do."

Su Wen raised his head and looked at the roaring walls of the royal city in the distance from under his black robe.

There are no cultists around here for the time being.

It is indeed impossible for the Sleeping Sect to control the entire huge royal city with just one branch.

He pushed open a secret door he had found using a swarm of drones during his earlier Krosan research.

Then he continued:
"These two points are 'sincere enough',
Also: 'pure enough'.

Perhaps evil gods or gods of war who are good at killing would be more prone to violence.

But the eternally sleeping Chorazin does not belong to this category. Like R'lyeh, he is also one of the Old Ones of Cthulhu.

Therefore, many of his cultists look more like sleepwalkers, with a very low basic intelligence level, and it is not difficult to disguise them. "

This is why it is very easy for the Sleeping Sect to expand its membership through dreams.

But the basic combat effectiveness is very low.

The two walked into the secret door.

at the same time.

Inside the great chapel of the royal city.

In the shadow of several gray flames, an old man whose face could not be seen clearly knelt under the huge statue of the evil god.

Behind the old man stood a young man in a dark black uniform. He did not turn around, but said to the young man in a hoarse voice:

“Trevikon.

If you interrupt the prayers to my Lord, you should know what will happen to you."

Hear the old man's threat.

A cruel smile appeared on the young man's face:

“Klimdam, if you didn’t know there’s a swarm of bugs coming.

Then I can only think that you are very stupid."

"What do you mean?"

"Remember those infected? I wanted to use them to wipe out the hidden sentinels and survivors.

but now.

The monsters, so numerous that they could have overwhelmed the royal city, have now become ice sculptures on the Signor Plains."

"A fifth-level golden great mage is coming?"

The skinny old man finally turned his head. There was no eyeball where his pupil should be. Instead, there was a hole that was also burning with gray flames.

And Trevicon made a threatening gesture:

“It’s worse than that.

Have you seen 'Dragon Clan'?

A dragon that can spray Absolute Zero Frost Breath!"

The old man was shocked and angry:

“Could it be those crazy people from the Dragonborn Research Society? Shouldn’t they be deeper in the Secret Sea?

Why did they find our entrance? "

"Maybe it was done by my good colleagues."

There was a shadow on Trevicon's face.
“There’s not much time left before the ceremony begins, one day at most.

Klimdam, have your followers activate the 'Great Dormant Sacrifice', even if it means losing a few hundred special infected bodies.

At least, it must cover the entire royal city!"

The old man fell into deep thought.

finally.

He chose to perform this horrific sacrifice which was only intended to buy time.

But the two of them hadn't discovered yet that they had split into several groups and sneaked in here carrying camouflage badges that exuded a dormant aura.

now.

Under the old cardinal's orders, the cultists began to act anxiously.

The area includes the First Church of Eternal Night, the Third Church of Eternal Night and the Observatory Tower.

But no one noticed.

On the rooftop of the Observatory, among the densely packed array of cultists, two strangers in black robes were standing in the last row.

However, Su Wen did not expect that this group of people would start a large-scale sacrifice at this time.

He said with great interest in the communication band:
“It looks like.

This group of cultists prepared a big gift for us, which really touched us.

Krosan. Did the survivors injected with antibodies successfully sneak into the steam train? "

“No one has discovered it yet.”

The researcher said with little interest,

“This group of cultists seem to have no idea about the process of regulating technology.

The most they can do is scan back and forth with psychic waves, like a bunch of morons who can't recognize disguised signals."

"don’t worry.

Next, you should see an extremely interesting 'opening performance'.

Also.

Miss Rendell, the moment the sacrifice begins, it will be your turn to act."
