Chapter 814 The Terminator of the Dark Ages
Chapter 814 The Terminator of the Dark Ages
"Master Director, just as you expected...those guys couldn't help but take action."
Inside the archives room of the Inquisition, the director of the Inquisition in Lilai City, who was resting with his eyes closed, opened his eyes slightly while listening to the report of the deputy director.
"After all, among the dark race, those snakeborn are considered to have the worst patience. I said before, they became enraged and resorted to extreme measures in just the past two months."
"Anyway, this is exactly what we want. The final achievement you need to return to headquarters will be fulfilled by these Serpentborn themselves... The Dark Ones who launched a large-scale attack on a city like Lilai haven't appeared in over fifty years!"
As the deputy director spoke, an expression of enjoyment, like that shown after drinking, appeared on his aging face.
"Yes, everything is going according to plan. Using that Underground guy as bait, we can force these Serpentborn into a desperate situation," the Director of the Inquisition pondered. "However... I am a little concerned that they chose to act at this time."
"Are you referring to the demon hunter with the medal... Are you afraid he's also here for the Serpentborn, to steal their merits?"
The deputy director said doubtfully.
"No, if he only came for the snakeborn, or even killed the snakeborn, it would be fine."
"This man attacked the Serpent Descendants as soon as he arrived... I'm worried about other possibilities behind this coincidence—for example, he simply chose this time and didn't come for the Serpent Descendants."
"Even... he might be colluding with the Serpentborn."
The director spoke calmly, and the deputy director was shocked. "How is that possible? If, as you say, the holder of the Golden Cross has spent a long time roaming and fighting in the abyss, how could he possibly be colluding with the dark race?"
"Anything is possible, but these are only low-probability events. The greater possibility is that he is only targeting those low-level, filthy, dark species and cults who are driven and bewitched by the Serpent Descendants."
The director said this, and the deputy director nodded.
"That's true... Anyway, don't worry, Director. I'll keep a close eye on him."
"Whether he's coming for the Serpentborn or colluding with them, at least he definitely can't be coming for us!"
The deputy director said this and the director nodded.
"That's right. No matter where he comes from or why he came, at least this Lilai City is our territory. He definitely has no way of knowing our biggest secrets and our reliance. Even if those snake descendants cooperate with him, they will never tell him the secrets hidden deep underground..."
Just as the director said this, the door of the archive room suddenly opened.
A clerk at the court showed an anxious look.
"Director... the holder of the 'Golden Cross Medal' has come to visit us, along with the adventurer who caused a disturbance in the city hall and an unidentified transcendent who is suspected to be a member of the Sacred Relics School!"
"He requested to enter the 'Black Prison' to investigate, saying he suspected the criminals held there were connected to the Dark Ones and the unknown barrier currently above Lilai City."
The director's expression changed slightly.
"what?"
The deputy director murmured, "Oh no, Director, he really seems to be coming for us!"
However, the director quickly calmed down.
"As expected of the holder of the 'Golden Cross'... No, now it seems he is definitely the recipient of this medal."
"Sure enough, I underestimated these heroes who could end the Dark Ages..."
The deputy director looked at the director and said in a panic, "What should we do?"
"No rush. Even though we underestimated him before, this is still our territory after all—just play with him!"

Outside the Inquisition, A Yu, who was squatting on the steps, took a sip of water and looked at Lin Yu.
"Schreiber, those cookies tasted good. Do you have any more?"
"No, that's a [consumable item], not a [reusable item]," Lin Yu shook his head. "Sister Yu, didn't you just have barbecue?"
Although both Lin Yu and "Schreiber" are older than Ayu, Ayu seems to like being called "Sister Yu" or "Big Sister".
Lin Yu naturally catered to his wishes.
"I'm starving," Ah Yu explained casually, his hands in his pockets. "But then again, don't you have that 'Golden Cross Medal'? Why are they so indifferent and just let us wait at the door?"
Lin Yu also found it very strange.
The last time I came, I was in a hurry to go through the procedures and send them away, but this time I left them hanging at the door again.
What's going on with this Inquisition?
Raymond, a Night Vale native and Ah Yu's junior, pondered, "Could it be that because Lilai City is under martial law, the Inquisition is short of manpower?"
"Then they should give us priority. After all, we're here to lift martial law...at least that's our reason!"
A Yu still trusted his fellow disciple Raymond. Although he did not tell him all the truth, he told Raymond that their main purpose was to kill some imprisoned dark races in the black prison.
Raymond was worthy of A Yu's trust. Even after hearing about this behavior that was obviously against the rules and even suspected of provoking the "Inquisition", he still chose to board the pirate ship without hesitation.
He didn't even have any objections.
This made Lin Yu respect A Yu's sect in Yegu a little - although the "Holy Object School" was not heard of on the forum and was not mentioned in the exclusive information provided by Shen Bingmiao, it was suspected to be a very small group of extraordinary people, but its cohesion was still very strong.
"I think we should just go in first," Raymond took out the wine flask, took a sip, and said bravely, "Anyway... we have Mr. Schreiber here, so I'm afraid they won't dare to blame us!"
Raymond suggested, and Ayu fell into deep thought, seemingly seriously considering the feasibility of this proposal.
Of course, Lin Yu was not very optimistic about this plan.
After all, they would most likely cause a big commotion in the prison once they entered. If the people of the Inquisition noticed something was wrong now and kept a close eye on them, the difficulty of their action would undoubtedly increase greatly.
However, when Lin Yu was thinking about how to dissuade him...
The door of the Inquisition is finally opened!
"Master Schreiber, and the other two, I'm truly sorry," the Inquisition Director, dressed in a robe, hurried over in person. "The investigation team has some leads, and I was just communicating with the frontline team, which delayed me... The situation is special right now, as you all know!"
Ah Yu stood up and waved his hand: "It's okay, we understand... But old man, we are here for this special situation, so please let us go to the black prison to investigate quickly!"
"No problem," the director nodded, then said, "Three...please allow me to personally take you there!"
