Chapter 862 Attack

Qin Ran looked incredulous.

Although the Shadow Church was rarely mentioned by old nuns, this did not mean that Kieran did not know the influence of the Shadow Church in the copy world in front of him.

In the era of church rule, the reason why the Church of Light was not the only one was because of the existence of the Church of Shadow.

Because of certain doctrines, both sides are naturally enemies.

In addition, there is no shortage of fanatics on both sides, and overt and covert fights are endless.

only……

The Shadow Church originated from the Dawn Church, which still made Qin Ran feel incredible.

"This is really surprising."

Kieran was stunned for two seconds before giving this comment.

"Believe me, you are not the first person to be surprised, nor will you be the last - the Church of Shadows was originally just a concept of the Knight of the Dawn: 'Protect believers with shadows!', and as time goes by, this concept Being constantly recognized and developed, especially after experiencing several 'holy wars', many Dawn Knights could not accept their powerlessness in the face of innocent dead believers, so they chose more extreme methods."

The old nun spoke with a kind smile.

"Is that why Gong Lansen has such excellent stealth skills?"

Qin Ran thought of the old knight's behavior when they first met.

"Um."

"However, Gong Lansen is not outstanding, at least compared with the real shadow knight, he is only at an ordinary level. Have you read Gong Lansen's notes, do you have any impression of [Dark Stealth Technique]?"

Facing the old nun's question, Qin Ran nodded immediately.

How could he not be impressed by the only secret technique with a complete name in the notes?

"When you practice [Dark Hiding Technique] to the highest level, you can travel through shadows."

The old nun's description immediately made Qin Ran's eyes widen.

Traveling through the shadows?

Qin Ran, who possesses the extraordinary level of [Stealth] and has experienced [Stealth] above the extraordinary level, is very aware of how terrifying the basic skill of [Stealth] becomes when it reaches the extraordinary level.

Not to mention traveling through shadows.

What will happen once such an ability is used to commit an assassination?

Can you imagine the horror of a corner where no one was around when you passed by it just a moment ago, and suddenly a poison-soaked dagger appeared after you passed by, stabbing your back silently?

Even defending against others is useless.

Moreover, Kieran was very sure that the Shadow Church must have the means to match it.

The smeared secret names speak volumes.

With the combination of these secret techniques, the assassin may not know what happened until his death.

"Did the secret techniques that were altered in Gong Lansen's notebook all come from the Church of Shadow?"

In order to confirm what he was thinking, Qin Ran asked again.

"Part of it is, part of it isn't."

"There are some things that I can't confess to you, so I'll leave it to Gong Lansen who returns to tell you everything."

The old nun looked at Qin Ran apologetically.

"No, Sister Moni, you have told me enough."

Qin Ran immediately waved his hand, and then asked with a puzzled face: "Those shadow knights with the shadow church, the war 50 years ago?"

"Are you curious why the Shadow Knights didn't take action?"

"Um!"

"With a group of top assassins who can travel through the shadows, it's hard for me to imagine how the nobles at that time achieved victory."

Kieran said truthfully.

This was what puzzled him the most.

Because he couldn't imagine how those nobles ensured their own safety.

In other words, how did the nobles deal with the Shadow Church.

"If the Church of Shadows really joined the war, it might really be able to change the war 50 years ago. However, six months before the war broke out, the Church of Shadows sent a secret message to all the churches, saying that they were because of 'God's The will 'needs to leave, and the time of return is uncertain."

The old nun sighed bitterly.

No one knows the power of the Shadow Church better than this old nun.

It is precisely because of this that the old nun's bitterness becomes even more helpless.

"'God's will'?"

Qin Ran frowned.

He sincerely didn't believe in this coincidence.

"They left the Dawn Goddess and believed in the 'Lord of Shadows' - that is a neutral god, and they have a very tacit relationship with the Dawn Goddess. Therefore, when the Shadow Church was established, it received the full strength of the Dawn Church. Support, not wage jihad."

The old nun told Kieran more secrets.

"Are you sure the bishop of the Shadow Church and those shadow knights are still..."

Kieran didn't say the word 'alive', but the meaning was obvious.

"I can't be sure."

"But I can't think of anything else that would kill them. Although we call him a bishop, in essence, he is the Pope, a powerful being who can rival the current army of ten thousand people, and there are twenty shadow knights , each one is a heart-stopping strong man, when they are together, I don’t think anyone can threaten them, not to mention that the will does have the aura of the gods.”

The old nun said this.

"is that so?"

Qin Ran didn't object anymore.

His brows just furrowed tighter and tighter.

…

Somewhere in a palace decorated with gold and precious stones.

A middle-aged man wearing a red bishop's uniform knelt down in front of the statue, which was so tall that it required a separate dome in the palace to accommodate it, and prayed softly.

In the huge palace, only such prayers echoed.

The guards standing around were solemn. No one dared to disturb him, and even his breathing became extremely restrained.

Half an hour later, when the prayer ended and the middle-aged man stood up, the messenger knight who had been waiting for a long time delivered the secret message.

"Oh, Son of God?"

"Will a son of God be born in this era?"

Looking at the contents of the secret message, the middle-aged man couldn't help but become interested.

However, the exclamation was filled with sarcasm.

But as he read the secret letter, the middle-aged man's brows frowned slightly.

In the description between the lines of the secret letter, the middle-aged man felt something familiar.

But he wasn't sure.

But this did not prevent him from making a decision.

"That rascal!"

The middle-aged man sneered and crushed the secret message in one hand.

Not rubbing, not tearing.

Just by holding it with your palm, the special letter paper was shattered into tiny scraps of paper.

When the palm opened again, the paper scraps fell like dust.

"I need to go to Morningside Church."

The middle-aged man said as he walked.

"Yes, Lord Bishop."

The knights on the side bowed to accept the order.

Ten minutes later, an airship that incorporated budding technology but was more of an alchemy craft took off from the palace.

At a speed far exceeding that of a galloping horse, he headed towards the direction of the Church of Dawn.

Somewhere in the shadows outside the palace, the old man who saw this scene couldn't help but narrowed his eyes.

Then, it quickly blended into the shadows and disappeared.

PS first update~

A friend I haven't seen for a long time came to visit Fei Long, and he was delayed for a while. He originally said that it would be the third update today, but he had to postpone it again...

Fei Long apologizes to everyone!

The second time is Fat Dragon's hard work, trying to code it out before eleven o'clock!
