Several corners of Negri's residence had been buried with sapphire gems.
This was a common method of the Soundless cult, using these gems to store the power of the domain of silence, then linking them together to exert their effects. This was also the Soundless cult's barrier of silence.
During that period of time, all sounds that occurred in Negri's residence would be disrupted, unable to be transmitted outside, making everything appear silent.
It was thanks to this method that the Soundless cult was able to maintain their secrecy and cause so many things, instead of being suppressed by the Sun Shadow church and being forced to live like a rat on death's door.
Not too long after Negri left this place, the knights of the Sun Shadow church arrived with their subordinates. They had been maintaining a superficial monitoring of the town of Lohr, so they would be able to quickly notice any eruptions of energy or abnormal noises.
After Negri killed the three members of the Soundless cult, the barrier of silence they had set up lost its guidance, causing its effects to become chaotic, and was discovered by the Sun Shadow church.
The leader of this group was a knight with a straight back, he wasn't wearing a helmet, revealing his handsome appearance.
Counier Doragnir, the most perfect knight of the Sun Shadow church, be it in terms of character, ability, or even appearance, he could be described as perfect.
"The Soundless cult again?" Counier observed the scene, trying to determine the truth of the matter: "However, it seems like the Soundless cult suffered a loss this time"
"This property belonged to Horton, but he died here, and he had something from the Soundless cult on him, as well as a member of the Soundless cult who also died here" Counier observed the four strange corpses on the ground and roughly explained what happened to them.
"Horton had sided with the Soundless cult, attempting to act against a certain person or organization living here, but failed"
"It seems a few dangerous people have come to Lohr" At this point, Counier looked at the three Soundless cultists with their heads cut off and quickly recalled what happened not too long ago. During that incident, three Red Sun Knights had lost their lives.
Although Lohr was home to various cults, lunatics, serial killers, and supernatural creatures, the majority of those who died in Lohr were people of the lowest rung of society. Unless the upper echelons of society were courting death themselves, it could be said to be a truly peaceful place.
Among them, the Soundless cult's ability to stir up trouble was a bit more outstanding, but it was only a bit more outstanding, they didn't really manage to cause any major news.
It was very rare for three Red Sun Knights to die at once. They had been investigating the person who used the bone blade, but to no avail.
"A wound of this degree can only be achieved with an extremely sharp weapon that instantly sliced it in half, so it's very likely that the culprit who killed the Red Sun Knight is among them" Counier concluded and reported this to his superiors.
Following that, Counier noticed a stubborn young man standing not too far away, as well as a young girl following behind him and smiled: "You sure are well-informed, mister Farnate"
"Nice to meet you, Miss Oli" Counier then turned around to greet Oli who was following behind Chromie.
"In order to avenge our family and wash away the shame of the Farnate family, I believe this is necessary" As soon as he received news of the Soundless cult, he hurriedly rushed here.
As for why he and Counier knew each other, it was because he had been bothering the other party quite a bit during this period of time.
Because his sister carried the blood of evil, the Farnate family was also considered a sinful family. Even though the old Farnate had committed suicide, the name of the blood of evil wasn't something that could be easily washed away.
Quite a few people in the cult were either indifferent to Chromie, or they needed a large amount of money. Only Counier didn't discriminate against Chromie, and even chose to tell this vengeful man about some information that wasn't confidential.
In fact, not too long ago, they managed to track down Birosius's whereabouts and coincidentally ran into each other. Although Birosius still managed to escape in the end, the two of them managed to form a decent friendship during their pursuit.
"Chromie, I think you should slow down a bit, revenge isn't everything in life" Counier glanced at Oli's haggard expression and consoled her: "If you only focus on revenge, you'll ruin your life"
"The problem is, my life has already been ruined" Chromie remained unmoved, understanding what Counier was referring to as' life '. He also advised Oli to return to the Academic City as soon as possible, there was no need to waste her time and effort on an avenger like him.
However, if the will of every person could be so easily changed, there wouldn't be so much helplessness in this world.
"Do as you wish" Counier shook his head. As a friend, consoling her was already the limit of what he could do, continuing to argue would only result in the opposite effect.
"Let's get back to business, were there any Soundless cultists killed here?" Chromie asked seriously: "Can you give me one of their items?"
"I'm sorry, Chromie, this matter is related to the Soundless cult, so these items are under strict control" Counier mercilessly refused. Although they were friends, he had a clear distinction between public and private affairs, so he wouldn't use his personal feelings to influence the correct course of action.
"I understand" Chromie nodded. He could only watch as the people of the church carried away the sapphire crystals and the Soundless cultist corpses without leaving even a single drop of blood behind, then sealed off the building.
The reason why he asked Counier for an item from the Soundless cultists was because of his ability.
During his time in the Academic City, he obtained a certain magical tome, but due to the excessive evil contained within, he didn't have any intentions of using it. However, for the sake of revenge, he didn't care if it was evil or not.
[The Tome of Sacrifice: Sacrifice of Fragrance. By sacrificing one's sense of smell, one would obtain the ability to perform Spirit Vision through the smell of an item and see the item's past, but the price was the loss of one's sense of smell.]
This was how the entire Tome of Sacrifice worked. By sacrificing various items, one would obtain various abilities.
It was thanks to this ability, as well as the information he bought from before, that he managed to track down Birosius's whereabouts, but he still managed to escape in the end.
Watching as the church sealed off the entire building, Chromie appeared helpless. If that item hadn't been worn by its owner for a long time, he wouldn't have been able to accurately pinpoint the other party's location through Spirit Vision.
