He promised to become a knight, but what the heck is Astartes?

Luo Xia clicked his tongue, looking at the Emperor's reward of 0.5 free attribute points that had previously made him extremely happy, and suddenly felt a little bored.

I could have endured the darkness, but that was because I had never seen the light!

"Company commander, I've found something here!"

Ryan, who was not far away, suddenly shouted.

Upon hearing this, Taylor hurried over.

Ryan, his hands stained with blood, pulled a dark red crystal from the heart of the second-tier Crimson Warlock that Anderson had killed.

That's the crystallized magic power of sorcerers, and also where they usually store their spatial items!

Taylor took the ring from Ryan's hand. His powerful life magnetic field forcibly erased the spiritual imprint on the magic crystal, and then poured out all the contents inside.

Wow~

A pile of crystals radiating intense energy, a dozen high-level magic potions, and several thick black books fell to the ground.

Taylor picked up a black tome and quickly flipped through it, his face visibly darkening.

"These beasts!"

Chapter 106 Abyss Beacon (June 13th ~ Seeking first subscriptions and monthly tickets, thank you meow!!!)

"They are not only conducting live experiments on the wandering knights, but they have also secretly kidnapped a large number of civilians, attempting to use a blood sacrifice ritual to tear open a tiny rift leading to the abyss directly in the city of Adelaide!"

Taylor's face was extremely grim, and he gritted his teeth and roared:

"Damn it, what are these Imperial Inquisitions doing! They didn't even discover something like this?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Xia frowned slightly, squatted down, and picked up a black book to read.

It contained various experimental data, and Rorschach even saw Arocher's name on it.

[July 13th, the life form reacted well, the implantation of the dark attribute abyssal monster went very smoothly, and successfully enabled the other party to break through from a quasi-knight to a full knight...]

[July 22nd, still a failure. The life form was devoured by the dark-attribute monster, becoming a true transcendental magical beast and escaping. But the Empire and the Church will probably like this little gift, haha.]

……

[August 7th, success! As expected, to implant dark-attribute abyssal monsters, these powerful knights are still necessary. However, the opponent's strength hasn't increased much; they've only awakened the extraordinary ability of shadow stealth?]

[August 13th, Hahaha, powerful, truly powerful! Even a peak knight's life magnetic field couldn't sense Arocher's Shadow Stealth. If this ability could be mass-produced, I could definitely create a true assassin legion!]

……

[August 17th, ugh! That despicable Odes stole my experimental results! I swear I'll shove that one-eyed pustule right into your ass...]

"So that's how Arocher got his abilities? A product of sorcerer modification?"

Luo Xia silently flipped through the black diary, and when he turned to the last page, he was also startled.

Because it contains a dark-attribute knight's breathing technique, and it's of excellent quality!

[September 7th, phew, it wasn't a waste of my money! These knights who cultivate dark-attribute breathing techniques are indeed the best vessels to contain dark magical beasts!]

[September 9th, hahaha, I'm such a genius! I knew it, I knew it! My teacher just didn't like me. Otherwise, with my experimental skills, I could have become a wizard, not this damn sorcerer! I hate it!]

"Dark Source Breathing Technique..."

Rorschach imprinted the life cycle diagram containing the excellent breathing technique deep in his mind.

Although this page only covers the life cycle method of a formal knight, it is enough for Rorschach to gain a lot of insights.

"Teacher, take a look at this."

After Rorschach memorized the Dark Source Breathing Technique, he handed this black diary to Taylor.

"Oh?"

Seeing this, Taylor put down the black book in his hand, took the black diary handed to him by Rorschach, and carefully began to read it.

When he saw the last page, which recorded the Dark Source Breathing Technique, his eyes lit up.

As a high-ranking knight, Taylor could naturally determine the authenticity of this knight's breathing technique.

But it was precisely because I was certain that this was a genuine breathing technique that I was even more delighted.

Taylor was recently troubled because the most important foundation of the Ironblood Legion, the Knight Breathing Technique, was still unresolved.

Unexpectedly, such a big surprise was obtained from a simple operation to ensure Luo Xia's safety!

"Rorschach, you really are the teacher's lucky charm!"

Taylor smiled, patted Rorschach on the shoulder, and was extremely pleased.

This page only contains the excellent-grade Dark Source Breathing Technique at the formal knight level, and its value is in no way inferior to the ordinary perfect-grade breathing technique!

After all, this is an extremely rare dark attribute breathing technique!

Taylor didn't care whether practicing dark attribute breathing techniques was a good fit for the name Ironblood Legion.

But he could also imagine that when the other side heard the name of his Ironblood Legion, they would think that they were all crazy knights who only knew how to enjoy fighting.

In the end, all we saw was the despair of the shadow assassins clad in black armor!

Upon seeing such a treasure, Anderson excitedly flipped through the remaining black tomes, but unfortunately, they were filled with the scarlet sorcerer's experimental records and diaries.

"Damn it, what decent person keeps such a long diary!"

Anderson cursed loudly, thinking that the scarlet sorcerer was simply insane.

After all, who writes a diary every day for no reason?

Upon hearing this, Luo Xia nodded in agreement, since he himself did not keep a diary.

Instead of spending time writing in a diary, one should pray more to the great Emperor Hook.

"Company commander, I've found something here too!"

Just as Taylor and Rorschach were carefully examining the factory for anything of value, Dante's shouts came from deep within the factory.

Upon seeing this, Anderson ran as fast as he could, afraid that the good stuff would be snatched away.

As Taylor and Rorschach ventured deeper into the factory, the stench of filth suddenly intensified, assaulting their nostrils.

Everyone frowned and looked around.

The place was littered with the remains of dead people, some of whom had been dead for an unknown period of time, and small white maggots were crawling on them.

In the very center was a huge glass container, which was where the Great Impure One appeared.

"Can you see it? The eyes of these dead bodies were all gouged out."

Taylor pointed to the empty eye sockets of the dead bodies and spoke slowly.

Upon seeing this, Luo Xia's brows furrowed slightly.

He thought of the Great Unclean One outside, its body covered in countless one-eyed pustules. How many people must have been killed to form such a thing?

"These heretics deserve to die."

Rorschach's tone was icy, and he had a clear understanding of the heretics in this world.

Kill!

"There's a hidden door here!"

Anderson walked behind the glass container and kicked open a hidden door imprinted with mental energy.

Taylor and the others immediately stepped forward. Inside the door was a quiet room with a small altar in the center, surrounded by various food and household utensils, as well as some remains that clearly had female characteristics.

"It's an Abyss Beacon! What are these rats up to?"

Taylor's life magnetic field stirred slightly, and immediately a black stone slab emitting a faint light, placed in the center of the altar, slowly floated up.

This also revealed the appearance of the black stone slab to everyone. It was covered with intricate patterns, and in the very center was an incredibly scarlet eyeball.

"What's the use of this?"

Rorschach looked at the black stone slab and asked Taylor, who was standing beside him.

"Beacon, beacon, is naturally used to establish a stable teleportation channel between the real world and the Abyss Rift."

Anderson stepped forward, a pair of black gloves that had appeared on his hands at some point, and carefully removed the Abyss Beacon, gently placing it into a square box made of dark red wood.

"It seems the Scarlet Cult has bigger ambitions..."

Taylor took the dark red wooden box from Anderson, his expression filled with worry.

"This matter is beyond our jurisdiction and must be reported to the college and church immediately!"

"Search carefully again. If there's nothing there, burn this place down with sacred fire to purify the souls of the dead and the filth of this place..."

Chapter 107 The Eternal Silence of the Black Dragon (July 13th ~ Seeking first subscriptions and monthly tickets, thank you meow!!!)

Half an hour later, the steam-powered armored vehicle slowly drove away from the East District.

Behind Luo Xia and the others, the long-abandoned steel mill burst into flames, the crimson fire representing the will of the Cult of War.

It purified the spirits of the dead in the steel mill, and also took away all the filth and evil within.

When Rorschach and the others returned to the War Spire, it was nearly dusk.

Taylor, carrying all the black notebooks, hurried to the ground floor to report the day's events to his dean.

After politely declining Anderson and the others' invitation to have a big meal, Rorschach couldn't wait to return to his luxurious penthouse.

Click.

Locking the door, Luo Xia excitedly opened the system panel.

[Ding ding ding! Emperor's mission completed: Purify the malignant tumor!]

[With overwhelming force, you successfully destroyed the Nurgle Septic Tank established by the Nurgle heretics and slaughtered a large number of their followers! The Great Emperor expressed his highest praise for your actions, nodding with satisfaction from his golden throne, considering you truly an environmental guardian who knows how to keep Terra's air clean!]

"Good boy, well done this time! These heretics who reek of filth and stench should be thoroughly purified with the hottest flames! Now my golden toilet will finally no longer have to smell that nauseating odor..."

[Quest Rewards: +0.3 Free Attribute Points, 700 Imperial Honor Points!]

Looking at the glittering mission settlement interface, Luo Xia couldn't suppress the smile on his face.

"Hahaha, what a bumper harvest! This is an absolutely huge harvest!"
