"If you are willing to assume the papacy, then of course you can."
The old woman said excitedly.
"Fine then, let him continue being a sinner."
Liu Zheng shook his head.
"Well, if you find the true form of the Twisted Saint, you will naturally be qualified to pardon him as well."
The old woman had no choice but to settle for the next best thing.
"That won't affect any of the conditions I can propose, right?"
No, it won't take up space.
The old woman said, somewhat speechless.
How can someone who has undergone the Great Baptism be so petty?
"That's fine."
Liu Zheng nodded in satisfaction.
What does it mean to be meticulous and not let those who do good deeds suffer losses? That's true kindness, isn't it?
If you don't even understand this, no wonder you've ended up with only two followers left.
The Helmet Man bowed deeply to him in gratitude.
"If you really want to thank me, then help me protect these people."
Liu Zheng pointed to Anke's family and Fula and said.
"Bang!"
The Helmet Man pounded his chest forcefully to show his commitment.
His gaze fell on the golden cup, and an item description immediately popped up.
Name: The Tomel Holy Grail
Type: Miscellaneous
Quality: Excellent
"Effect: When combined with rituals, it can facilitate communication with Higher Being."
"Note: It rose because of him, and it fell because of him."
"Can it be taken out of the instance: Yes"
"Very good."
Liu Zheng put away the cup and looked at the old woman.
Where are the other Holy Grail?
He asked.
There's more than one Holy Grail on the City Hall's list; collecting a complete set would definitely earn you extra points.
"They must be at the Kalkaluns Academy; they were the ones who started the fervent exploration of the Tomel Ruins."
The old woman said with certainty.
"The Bloodhealing Church should also have it. According to our investigation, their ' Blood Therapy ' technique is also derived from the legacy of the Tomel Civilization."
She thought for a moment and then said...
"Hand over your intelligence channels to me."
Liu Zheng said.
It's more convenient to communicate directly with the source of the information than to rely on the old woman's relay.
The old woman hesitated.
"What? You're not even willing to do this?"
He raised an eyebrow.
"It's not that I'm unwilling to tell you, sir, it's just that our informant hasn't contacted us for a long time."
The old woman sighed.
Whether it was exposed, an accident, or a betrayal, they had no way of knowing.
"It's okay, just give me how to contact him, just in case."
Liu Zheng said.
"All right."
The old woman took a whistle out of her robe and handed it to him.
"After you blow the whistle, he will hear it if he is nearby. If he is willing to come out to see you, tell him that you have passed the Great Baptism, and he will cooperate with you."
He took the whistle, but no item description popped up.
Where is he?
Liu Zheng put away his whistle and asked.
"They were at the Kalkaluns Academy before, but we don't know where they are now."
The old woman shook her head.
"Alright. So where is Kalkaluns?"
"Go and get the map for the adults."
The old woman gave instructions to the Helmet Man.
The Helmet Man nodded and then went to the storeroom to retrieve a map.
Liu Zheng unfolded it and saw that the map was drawn in fairly detailed manner.
This map shows that the Church of Pain still has strong desires for revival.
Looking at the map, they are currently located in the center of New Yate, which is the far right side of the map.
Kalkaluns Academy is located in the southwest of New Yate, at the very bottom of the map.
The center of the entire map is neither New Yate nor Old Yate, but the Church Town of the Bloodhealing Church.
"This map wasn't drawn by you, was it?"
Liu Zheng shook the map and asked.
How did you know?
The old woman asked in surprise.
"Isn't that obvious? If you were to draw it, would you put the Church Town in the center?"
He rolled his eyes.
"Your wisdom is as profound as your suffering. This was indeed obtained by that informant."
The old woman praised.
"Um, Mr. Liu Zheng, may I take a look at this map?"
Anke, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke.
"Sure."
Liu Zheng nodded.
"Thank you."
Anke walked over and took the map, then rubbed his fingers along the area of Old Yate on the map.
"Well!"
After a long while, he let out a long sigh.
"Stop looking. Old Yate is history. Your present and Mirai are in New Yate. Your family is here too. Look forward."
Liu Zheng patted his shoulder with his tentacle.
"I understand, thank you for your guidance."
Anke returned the map to him.
"Speaking of which, how is Old Yate doing now?"
Liu Zheng asked.
" Old Yate has been burned to the ground, and the entrance has been sealed off by the Church. If there are any living creatures left, they should all be wild beasts."
Anke said with some sadness.
He nodded, Pensive in thought.
Old Yate has been closed for decades, and the beasts that still live inside should have a high drop rate of Blood Gem.
However, Old Yate is still listed as a backup option, and obtaining ready-made Blood Gem through the Bloodhealing Church is the preferred method.
But if the Bloodhealing Church doesn't have enough stock, then he'll have to get it from Old Yate.
Although those residents suffering from the Beastification Disease were somewhat pitiful, turning into wild beasts was tantamount to death.
The living are always more important than the dead.
"Give me a room with good soundproofing, and lend me this."
Liu Zheng pointed to the chest used for the Great Baptism and said.
"Sir, what do you want?"
"Of course we need to gather intelligence, using Metropolis methods."
He looked at the unconscious hunter and said with a smile.
Everyone shuddered at his smile; even the Calico Cat shrank its ears.
Ten minutes later, Liu Zheng walked out of one of the rooms looking displeased.
"Sir, is the intelligence gathering not going very well?"
The old woman asked cautiously.
"No, it went too smoothly."
He snorted and said.
This hunter looked like a tough guy, but he turned into a coward during interrogation.
Liu Zheng Zhengcai carved a few flowers on his body, and he confessed everything.
I don't know if it's because he's too weak-willed, or if the " Interrogation Master " is just too effective.
However, this hunter was of low status and didn't know much about him.
Currently, hunters in Yate are divided into two groups: Workshop Hunter and Church hunters.
Workshop Hunter are like mercenaries; they obey the Church's orders but also have their own independence.
Yate has several workshops, each specializing in crafting different equipment, which in turn gives each hunter a different fighting style.
There is both cooperation and rivalry between the workshops.
Church hunters, on the other hand, are directly under the Church and receive orders from Church higher-ups. Their equipment and supplies are provided directly by the Church, making them the strongest hunters.
Moreover, unlike the Workshop Hunter, who are mostly outsiders, many of the Church hunters are locals from Yate.
This is said to be due to the ideas of Beethoven, the chief hunter of the Church.
He viewed hunters as protectors of Yate, and therefore dedicated himself to recruiting hunters from among the local Yate and training them to protect their homeland.
This hunter's Verus, and he is a hunter belonging to the " Iron Saw " workshop.
The unique feature of their workshop is their preference for using various models of Meat Saw; they almost never use other melee weapons.
The area around Anke's house was the responsibility of the " Iron Saw " workshop.
As for the truth behind the Beastification Disease and the Pale Night, Verus was unaware of it.
He did know about Blood Gem; the " Iron Saw " workshop had some, but the quality wasn't very high.
If there's a large quantity of high-quality Blood Gem, it must be in the workshops of the Church Hunters.
Liu Zheng opened the map and looked at the center of the map.
Now we have no choice but to go to the Church Town.
