The next afternoon, Kronos came to Saint Samuel Cathedral as scheduled, and an old acquaintance was waiting for him there.

He was a man in his forties, with soft facial features and long hair on his temples. His name was Soest, and he was Deacon Nighthawks, Red Gloves Captain.

When discussing the entry of church power into Research Center, he once came to Research Center to meet with Kronos on behalf of Nighthawks.

Of course, he definitely doesn't know the true identity of the person in front of him. Kronos's identity must be kept secret. Archbishop Anthony will definitely not tell Soest about it.

Kronos walked over and said hello to Soest: "It's Soest Captain, are you waiting for me?"

If Anthony sends someone else to wait for Kronos, Kronos may not be able to confirm it, but he can still recognize Soest's face.

Soest glanced at the person in front of him, and then responded enthusiastically, "Is he the gentleman from Evernight Cloister? It is indeed Archbishop Anthony who asked me to wait for you here."

Kronos almost laughed when he heard this title.

In order to make his identity reasonable, Anthony also specially gave him the title Evernight Cloister.

But if you think about it carefully, there is no problem. After all, his direct leaders are Monastery Director, Arianna Lady of Evernight Cloister.

So Kronos smiled and nodded.

Seeing Kronos nodding, Soest immediately led him inside, saying as he walked, "Archbishop Anthony is already waiting for you inside, and another guest has also arrived."

Kronos thought to himself that the so-called other guest was probably that Nibais·Audra Marquis.

Kronos followed Soest to Archbishop Anthony's office. After knocking on the door, he entered the office.

There are only two people in the room. The old man sitting in the main seat has a clean face and deep eyes. He has an extremely clean appearance. Even though he is wearing a black and red Clergy robe and five Dark Sacred Emblem on his chest, he does not give people a gloomy feeling.

No need to guess, this must be Archbishop Anthony.

Kronos bowed respectfully to Archbishop.

Although Nighthawks and Church are not the same system, the authority of Archbishop cannot control the High-ranking Deacon of an Nighthawks, but the Anthony is the Horror Bishop of an Sequence 3. In this world where the strong is respected, there is no harm in being respectful to the strong.

After saluting, Kronos looked at the other person.

This person's style is very similar to Olmer. He wears a dress and has a very elegant temperament.

But because of the existence of Eyes of Mystery Prying, Kronos could see a strong aura of decay in him at the first sight of him.

This should be Sanguine Executives who was active in Fourth Epoch and now lives in Backlund--Nibais·Audra.

As an extraordinary race, Sanguine has a long lifespan. Otherwise, it would be difficult for a Sequence 3 to live from Fourth Epoch to now.

But no matter how long your life is, there will come a time when it comes to an end.

This is the case for Sanguine Marquis. His lifespan has almost come to an end. The long years have made his life decay, and he has to lie in a cold coffin to sleep for a long time.

If he cannot enter the Angel level and rely on Power of Creation of Life-Giver to reshape his life, he will be one step away from death.

Kronos also saluted after confirming his identity.

"Marquis Nibais, this is the Kronos you want to see." Anthony said.

Nibais When Kronos walked into the room, his eyes were already on him, looking up and down.

"Marquis Nibais, I wonder if you have anything to do with me?" Kronos asked.

After retracting his gaze, Marquis Nibais said, "I would like to ask you to go to the Amanda Mountains and go to Sanguine's gathering area."

Arianna mentioned this matter yesterday, so Kronos was not surprised.

So he asked calmly, "Can I know what's going on?"

But unexpectedly, Marquis Nibais smiled bitterly, "I don't know, it's from over there. Message, Olmer Duke wants to invite you over."

"Olmer Duke?" Kronos was a little skeptical, "I tried to contact Him yesterday, but I couldn't. If He wants me to go to Sanguine, he only needs to notify me. Why go through such a cumbersome method?"

The two people present here are both mature characters, so they can naturally hear the suspicion in Kronos's tone.

It was Archbishop Anthony who spoke first, "You don't have to be so suspicious. Marquis Nibais has been following Olmer Duke since Fourth Epoch. He will not use Olmer Duke to deceive you, otherwise he would not be qualified to take charge of Backlund."

To be honest, this just dispels Kronos's suspicion of Nibais. If Nibais has no problem, then the rest will only be a bigger problem.

Kronos looked at Archbishop Anthony, then at Marquis Nibais, and finally agreed to the matter.

Sanguine wants him to go, and the goddess also wants him to go, so he has no choice but to go. Is there really any room for refusal?

After Kronos agreed, Marquis Nibais rushed to take him away because he was also wondering what happened.

As a follower of Olmer Duke, he himself cannot contact Duke of the Full Moon. There is only one Message sent through Sanguine, which is to bring Kronos back to the Amanda Mountains.

So he was anxious to go back and figure out everything that happened.

With the tacit consent of Archbishop Anthony, Marquis Nibais left directly with Kronos.

Kronos originally thought that Marquis Nibais would bring his Spirit World Traversal, but unexpectedly, Marquis directly released his own Wings, racing all the way.

The speed of Sanguine is already praised by people, but at the level of Marquis Nibais, it is as fast as Lightning.

Spirit World Traversal is not teleportation, it also takes time, but it seems to be taking another shortcut, which is shorter than traveling directly.

But according to Kronos's current judgment, if Marquis Nibais can maintain the speed until Amanda Mountains, the time it takes is really shorter than Spirit World Traversal, which shows his speed.

Of course, this method of traveling is only suitable for short distances. After all, Amanda Mountains is not very far.

Not to mention letting Marquis Nibais cross the sea to the Southern Continent, just letting him rush all the way to Republic of Intis would be very tiring, and the speed would not be as fast as Spirit World Traversal.

As Marquis Nibais continues to accelerate, Kronos cannot see the surrounding scene clearly without driving Eyes of Mystery Prying.

Fortunately, Kronos is already Demigod. As long as he is still Sequence 5, his body cannot bear it at this speed.

Marquis Nibais rushed all the way to the Amanda Mountains, and then Kronos felt a dark force covering his eyes.

"I'm sorry, but I have to cover your eyes. After all, it's about Sanguine's safety and I'm offended." Marquis Nibais's voice rang in Kronos's ears.

Kronos can definitely understand this.

Sanguine has been being hunted since Fourth Epoch. Their last settlement must be safe.

Kronos is just an outsider, so when an outsider comes in, he naturally cannot be allowed to figure out the whole situation.

It was understandable, so Kronos did not resist and allowed Marquis Nibais to lead him on.

After entering Amanda Mountains, the speed of Nibais obviously began to decrease and gradually stopped.

After he stopped, Kronos felt a group of people surrounding him.

Just when he was about to judge the current situation through the sound, the dark power that blocked his eyes immediately dissipated.

This is a place like a village, with Kronos surrounded by a circle of young adults.

This group of young adults is really out of tune with the environment, because everyone is dressed appropriately, either in a suit or a tuxedo.

Inexplicably, it feels like Jack, John, and Linda from a big city returning to their hometown for the New Year.

But Kronos knew clearly in his heart that this should be Sanguine's residential area, and the well-dressed and elegant people in this circle should be Sanguine.

Although the situation faced by Sanguine has eased a lot in recent years, they are not so arrogant as to build a city in the Amanda Mountains, so they live in a settlement like a village.

Marquis Nibais asked someone in the crowd, "Olmer Is Duke here?"

The man bowed respectfully and then said, "Marquis Your Excellency and Executives are now in the Ancestral Hall. We don't know the other situations."

Ancestral Hall, you can also know from the name that this is the place where Sanguine ancestor Lilith is worshiped. It is the most important location in this settlement, and it is also the place where Executives discusses important matters.

After hearing this person's answer, Nibais took Kronos and left. They didn't go far before arriving at the Ancestral Hall.

Its grandeur even exceeds those Churchs that Kronos has seen in Backlund. You must know that Saint Samuel Cathedral, Holy Wind Church, and Saint Hilleran Cathedral of Backlund are considered the most magnificent Churchs among True God Churchess.

Holy Wind Church was once the headquarters of Church of Storms.

But this Sanguine Ancestral Hall is even better.

The most shocking thing about Kronos is the milky white pattern on the entire exterior wall of the Ancestral Hall. It is based on the history of Sanguine of Power of Creation Record. I don't know if Divine Kingdom of True God will have such luxury.

Nibais took Kronos directly inside and arrived at a conference room.

There are five Sanguine Executives in the conference room, but there is no Marquis Nibais that Kronos is familiar with.

Nibais looked at the five people present, and then asked directly, "Where are the three Duke adults? Why are there only five of you?"

When Nibais asked this, Kronos understood that Sanguine Executives's three Sanguine Duke were not present at the meeting.

After Nibais asked, a young man Executives was about to answer, but an old man reached out to stop him, and then looked at Kronos next to Nibais.

Nibais said nonchalantly, "This is Kronos. Didn't you ask me to find him?"

But the old man Executives said, "No, it was Olmer Duke who asked you to come to him."

"So, where is Master Olmer Duke?"

The five Executives looked at each other and then stood up at the same time.

"Nibais, come with us."

But Nibais did not forget Kronos beside him, so he asked, "What should he do?"

Finally, the old man Executives hesitated for a moment and finally said, "Follow me."

In this case, Kronos had no choice but to naturally go with it.

Nibais and Kronos followed the five Sanguine Executives all the way to the underground of the Ancestral Hall, which is a large underground palace.

In the center of the underground palace, three figures sit cross-legged, forming a triangle around an object.

Several people approached slowly, and Kronos saw the familiar Olmer among the three figures.

Now that Olmer has been recognized, the identities of the remaining two people are naturally obvious - "Duke of Creation" Cecil and "Duke of Beast Taming" Colin.

These three Sanguine Duke all have Confinement eyes, and the Power of Creation on their bodies is constantly pouring out, sealing the space inside them.

After walking closer, the old Sanguine Executives said, "Just a few days ago, we suddenly discovered this situation. When we discovered it, only Olmer Duke could still speak."

"The last words Mr. Duke said was for us to contact Church of Evernight and invite Kronos here."

"After saying that last sentence, the three Duke have all fallen into the current state. There will be no problem for the time being, but no matter what means, they cannot be awakened."

Kronos asked, "What is that thing they are surrounding?"

Everyone present could see that there was something inside, but Kronos couldn't see clearly what it was. Even if Eyes of Mystery Prying was turned on, he couldn't catch any clues, so he asked.

After Kronos asked, a Executives said, "I don't know, we thought you would know, that's why we invited you here."

If the three Duke hadn't been trapped here, these Executives wouldn't have allowed an outsider to enter such an important place.

But Kronos thinks he is really incapable of solving this matter. The three Angel have all become like this. What can he do?

When everyone's attention was focused on Kronos, a wave of fluctuations suddenly appeared out of thin air.

Except for Kronos, the remaining six people are all Sequence 3's High Summoner, so it is impossible not to feel this wave of fluctuations, so they directly cast their sights on the location where the wave came from.

I saw a Spirit World passage suddenly opened at that location, and then a figure walked out of the Spirit World.
