You're an assassin, why do you focus on ranged?
Chapter 425
Bruno's question seemed a bit redundant.
This is the Evernight Continent, how could anyone not know Lady of the Night?
But Qin Chuan immediately realized the key point.
He had heard about the blessing of the night from Hans before, and there was a key point, that is, Hans called her the goddess of the night, not the lady.
One word difference, a world of difference.
However, Qin Chuan could not be 100% sure whether this was a habitual name or there was indeed a difference. Anyway, the probability was 50-50, so he said slowly: "Lady of the Night... You are talking about the goddess of the night, right?"
Bruno slapped his head and said apologetically: "Look at my memory, yes, it is the goddess of the night."
Qin Chuan smiled and said: "Minister Bruno, take care of yourself, the night watchmen will have to rely on you to lead in the future."
Bruno declined repeatedly: "Brother Shadow, you are too kind, how can I be the director of the headquarters, and I must not say this nonsense in front of outsiders."
In other words, it is okay in private.
Qin Chuan secretly remembered it.
He always felt that this branch chief was worthy of attention, not because he was kind and took in all the civilians in the underground branch, but because Bruno had a very subtle aura, which was not disgusting, but definitely not friendly.
This was completely different from Hans, Gern, and even Elna.
Qin Chuan had a sense of intimacy with Elna and the others.
Especially Elna, the blessing of the night she received gave her a certain amount of shadow power. Although it was not much, she could be considered half of her own.
But Bruno was different, he had not received the aura of shadow power.
Fortunately, there was no aura of strange beasts.
The two continued to chat, talking about this and that for a long time, seemingly chatting enthusiastically, but no useful information was revealed.
Qin Chuan saw that this would not work. He was short of time and had a heavy task. He couldn't really stay in this branch for ten days or half a month. When he returned to the Apocalypse Continent, the Son of God would probably be running around.
As the old saying goes, it is better to take risks than to tread lightly. Qin Chuan directly dropped a bombshell: "Minister Bruno, I want to accept the blessing of the night. I wonder if it is convenient."
Bruno's expression was a little subtle. He looked at Qin Chuan's expression carefully and found that he was not joking. His expression gradually became serious. After a moment of hesitation, he asked: "Do you know the significance of the blessing of the night to the night watchmen?"
Qin Chuan spread his hands and said truthfully: "I'm not sure, but I guess there are probably certain prerequisites to accept the blessing of the night and become a combatant."
"You guessed right about this."
Bruno nodded, "The blessing of the night is a gift given to us by the goddess of the night. It is the only way to fight against the beasts. Only by swearing loyalty to the goddess of the night can we get a response. In addition, we need to pass the test of the holy stone before we can be blessed."
Holy stone?
Qin Chuan grasped the word sharply and asked: "Can you let me see the Holy Stone?"
Bruno shook his head: "It's not that I don't want to, but there is no Holy Stone. The Holy Stone is only in the Night Watch headquarters. So, even if I agree to let you accept the blessing of the night, you need to go to the headquarters to verify and confirm."
Bruno's voice was a bit meaningful: "Mr. Shadow, are you sure you want to go to the headquarters?"
Qin Chuan smiled and said: "Go, why not."
Instead of procrastinating, it is better to go straight to Huanglong and go directly to the Night Watch headquarters. If someone knows the name of Shadow, then the other party will definitely come to the door on their own initiative, which is better than Qin Chuan's aimless search for clues.
Bruno didn't expect that Mr. Shadow would be so tough. Didn't he know that there were many strong people in the Night Watch headquarters, and any guy with extra thoughts would die miserably.
Just thinking of the name Shadow, Bruno was a little hesitant.
As the branch chief, Bruno knew much more information than Elna and the others.
Coincidentally, there was a piece of information about Shadow.
It was a severely damaged parchment with some words written on it intermittently.
[Alessa... Shadow... Waiting... Thank you in person... Where is it?]
Bruno first found this parchment in the corner of the headquarters archive room. At first, he didn't take it seriously, just thinking it was an ordinary document that was not properly preserved.
Until Bruno heard that the real name of the Lady of the Night was Alessa, he immediately found this parchment and kept it carefully.
Over the years, Bruno has been trying to repair the parchment, but with little effect. It was really too damaged and could not be repaired at all.
Fortunately, through other parchments, some useful information was barely pieced together.
Ten thousand years ago, when the Lady of the Night was active in the mortal world, a traveler who called himself Shadow once helped the Lady of the Night.
Even Alessa's growth from an ordinary girl to the Lady of the Night is alsoCan't do without the help of this Shadow.
Therefore, when Bruno heard that Qin Chuan called himself Shadow, his heart was in turmoil.
Is it a coincidence?
It should be a coincidence.
After all, Shadow was a traveler ten thousand years ago, how could he live to this day.
If he could really live to this day, he must be a god, how could he walk around the world at will.
But in his heart, Bruno was looking forward to the Shadow in front of him being the Shadow in the record!
If it is really the same person, can he replicate the miracle of the Lady of the Night and become a new god?
Bruno was thinking about it and decided to go with the flow.
Since this Shadow is interested in the blessing of the night, he might as well take him to the Night Watch headquarters.
I just don't know if anyone in the headquarters knows Shadow.
I think there is no one.
He has been acting secretly for so many years. As long as he suspects that someone is investigating the Shadow and the Lady of the Night, he will secretly find an opportunity to kill the person to ensure that he has the secret to himself.
Bruno collected his thoughts and said with embarrassment: "It's against the rules, but since Mr. Shadow mentioned it, I'm willing to guarantee it for you. But I'll say it first. I can't guarantee whether it can pass the headquarters' verification. It depends on luck."
Qin Chuan nodded: "I understand. Even if it doesn't work out, it's because I'm not so lucky. I won't blame Minister Bruno."
While speaking, Bruno seemed to have received some information and apologized: "I have something to do. If Mr. Shadow doesn't mind, I'll have someone take you to rest first. It will take at most two days. I'll finish the matter and we'll go to the headquarters. How about it?"
Although Qin Chuan wanted to leave immediately, he knew that he couldn't rush it, so he could only patiently say: "Thank you, Minister Bruno."
Bruno called the guard and asked him to take Qin Chuan to rest first, while he walked in another direction with a serious expression.
Bruno, who was walking quickly, didn't notice that his shadow shook twice.
Qin Chuan was doing two things at once, controlling his disguised image to rest while hiding in the shadows.
He wanted to see what Bruno was up to.
