Dean said goodbye to everyone after Neuss put away the luggage. He took Neuss out from the back of the castle.
Two figures quietly arrived outside a town in the middle reaches of the Taizha River.
Dean stopped and rubbed his face with the help of the moonlight. He changed his face into an ordinary young man's face.
"Young, young master …" Neuss was completely shocked as he saw Dean's magical change.
Dean didn't hide it from him: "I didn't sneak out. I came to the outer wall to serve as an elder of the dark church. This mask is used to cover up my identity. It's called animal glue mask. It can change the face at will. It's too precious so there's only one. From now on, when you follow me, you have to change your face and identity. Otherwise, if others know your identity, they will guess my identity. "
Neuss's eyes widened in shock.
Dean looked at him but didn't speak.
Neuss slowly digested the shocking news: "You want to take me to join the dark church?"
"Yes, I know. You used to be a Knight of Light of the Holy Church. There will be a bit of resistance in your heart." Dean patted his shoulder: "You will get used to it as you see more."
Neuss took a deep breath: "There is nothing to contradict. I was framed by the Holy Church and ended up in this state. I have been in Thorn Flower Prison for years and I don't believe in God! There is no light in the Holy Church if there is no justice! You are the one who gave me my life. Being loyal to you is my justice! "
"It seems that I didn't misjudge you." Dean smiled: "The process of joining the church will be a bit painful. You will need to peel off your face and replace it with a new one. Can you bear it?"
The corner of Neuss' mouth twitched: "As long as I don't die, there is nothing I can't endure."
"That's good." Dean smiled: "In fact it won't hurt. You just need to have a good sleep. The only thing is that Neuss is dead."
"Neuss died a long time ago," Neuss muttered.
Dean nodded and looked at the town behind him: "This is a small nest of the dark church in the 8th region. We have the materials we want. You wait here and I'll go and get them."
"Yes!" Neuss nodded.
Dean took off his coat and gave it to him. He sneaked into the town alone. The base of the 8th region was located under the manor of a respected squire. He snuck into a farmer's house and took a set of the farmer's clothes, which reeked of sweat and chicken droppings. He put it on and rushed to the Squire's manor.
Ten minutes later.
A figure flew out of the town and appeared by the river like a ghost.
Neuss who was holding Dean's coat was shocked. He was relieved when he saw Dean. The next moment he smelled a strong smell of blood: "Are you hurt?"
"No." Dean took off the farmer's coat that was stained with blood and threw it into the river. He put the package in his hand next to him and squatted by the river to wash his hands. As soon as his hands were in the flowing water, the blood spread from his palms and flowed downstream.
Neuss noticed the package: "Are these the materials?"
"Yes, the materials and other items to help you change your face." Dean said. He didn't take the alchemy materials as it would inevitably arouse suspicion.
After washing his hands, Dean got up and grabbed the package: "Let's go and find a place. We will finish it tonight."
Neuss subconsciously touched his cheek. There was a bit of stubble on his rough face. He silently nodded and followed behind Dean.
…
…
Headquarters of the Dark Church in the 9th region.
In the luxurious castle of the manor, Hawkeye, dressed in a luxurious black suit, stood on the balcony of the castle and looked into the distance. At this moment, the sky was already bright. The sun on the horizon pressed the darkness tightly on the ground. The place where the sun met was gray, like the ashes of a flame. Hawkeye frowned as he looked at the servant next to him: "The night has passed. Haven't you found the elder yet?"
The attendant said in a trembling voice: "We have already investigated. Among the people of the Holy Church, there is no trace of Your Lordship. There are only ten disciples led by Trunn. Your Lordship should have escaped during the battle. At present, there is no news of Your Lordship. We have contacted all the branches to search everywhere, but there is no news yet."
Hawkeye indifferently said: "Have you found out why there was a large number of Knights of Light in the streets of Falkland?"
"The subordinate is still investigating." The servant replied carefully.
Hawkeye narrowed his eyes: "It is best to find out when the sun rises. Otherwise it will be your sunset."
The attendant's face turned pale. He lowered his head and said, "I'll go now." After saying that, he bowed and excused himself, then turned around and ran away.
Hawkeye turned his head and looked down at the street outside the manor. Suddenly he saw two figures coming from the corner of the street. They were wearing black robes and hoods. Their faces were shrouded in shadows. He was startled for a moment. With his powerful vision, he suddenly saw one of the figures making a gesture with his hand by the sleeve.
Seeing this gesture, Hawkeye was suddenly stunned. He quickly clapped his hands, pressed it on the balcony, turned over and jumped down, and quickly went to the manor.
"Elder." Hawkeye respectfully said to the figure who made the gesture.
Dean gently lifted the hood and revealed the handsome face of the youth: "Let's go in first."
"Yes." Hawkeye respectfully nodded. He glanced at the figure next to Dean: "Who is this?"
"His code name is Golden Wolf. He will be my personal attendant in the future." Dean said.
Hawkeye was startled as he looked at Golden Wolf: "Elder, please."
Dean entered the manor first.
Accompanied by Hawkeye, they soon came to the headquarters under the manor. In the square outside the hall, the fountain was sprinkling, but there were no people around. At this moment, it was early, and the people who gathered here all returned to their respective residences and began their daytime life.
The staff behind the counter yawned as they entered the hall. They were tired from the night work.
Dean sat on the chair in his office. He looked at Hawkeye: "Is there anything you want to say to me?"
Hawkeye knew what Dean was referring to. He whispered: "Elder, it was our negligence this time. I don't know who leaked your whereabouts and the Holy Church found you. Fortunately, you weren't hurt. I sent people to look for you all night but they couldn't find any trace of you. I thought that you were secretly arrested by the Holy Church."
Dean lightly tapped his fingers on the table: "It happened before 7: 30 in the evening. Ten hours have passed. Haven't you found the traitor yet?"
Hawkeye's forehead exuded cold sweat: "Elder, we sent people to look for your traces. There was no detailed investigation of our people. Please give me an hour and I'll give you a reply."
"Half an hour." Dean indifferently said.
"Yes." Hawkeye bowed his head. He knew that there was no room for bargaining.
The coldness in Dean's eyes disappeared: "Golden Wolf will be my personal attendant and you will be my secretary. I know that you are one of elder Kerry's people. But now elder Kerry has gone to the inner wall. I believe that you should know who you are loyal to. As long as you are loyal to me I won't treat you badly. Do you understand?"
Hawkeye was shocked and hurriedly knelt down on one knee and said: "Sir, I have no disloyalty to you!"
"Get up."
Hawkeye slowly stood up.
"Go. I want to know who dared to betray me." Dean said in a cold voice.
