Kieran's face was filled with disbelief.
Although Sister Moni rarely mentioned the Church of Shadows, it didn't mean Kieran didn't know the influence of the Church of Shadows in the current dungeon world.
During the era of the Church's rule, the reason why the Church of Light wasn't the only powerful one was because of the existence of the Church of Shadows.
Both sides were natural enemies because of certain doctrines.
Plus, both sides never lacked fanatics, the open and covert fights were endless.
But …
The Church of Shadows originated from the Church of Dawn, it was still inconceivable to Kieran.
"This is really too surprising."
Kieran was stunned for two seconds before he gave his comment.
"Believe me, you aren't the first and won't be the last. The Church of Shadows started off with a Dawn Knight's belief: Protect the believers with shadows! As time went by, such a concept was recognized and developed. Especially after several 'Holy Wars', many Knights of Dawn couldn't accept their helplessness in the face of the innocent believers who died. Therefore, they chose an even more extreme method. "
The elderly sister spoke tirelessly with a kind smile.
"That's why Guntherson has such outstanding undercover techniques?"
Kieran thought of the old Knight's performance when they first met.
"Yes.
But Guntherson isn't that outstanding, at least compared to the real Shadow Knight, he's just a common rank. You've seen Guntherson's notes, do you have any impression of [Dark Movement Technique]? "
Kieran nodded immediately at Sister Moni's question.
How could he not have an impression of the only spell with a complete name in the notes?
"When [Dark Movement Technique] is trained to the highest level, you can shuttle through shadows."
Sister Moni's description instantly widened Kieran's eyes.
Shuttle through shadows?
With Transcendence level [Undercover] and having experienced above Transcendence level [Undercover], Kieran knew how scary [Undercover] would be after it entered Transcendence.
Let alone shuttling through shadows.
What would happen if such an ability was used for assassination?
Could you imagine a moment ago when you walked past a deserted corner, a poisoned dagger would appear out of nowhere and stab you in the back without a sound?
Even if you could defend yourself, it would be useless.
Besides that, Kieran was certain the Church of Shadows must have a corresponding method.
The names of the spells that were smeared said it all.
With the combination of the spells, the assassin wouldn't even know what happened until he died.
"The spells that were smeared in Guntherson's notes originated from the Church of Shadows?"
Kieran asked again in order to confirm his thoughts.
"A part is, a part isn't.
"There are some things that I can't confess to you. I'll let Guntherson tell you everything."
"No, Sister Moni, you have told me enough."
"No, Sister Mony, you've told me enough."
Kieran waved his hand and asked with a doubtful look, "The shadow knights from the Shadow Church? The war 50 years ago?"
"Are you curious why the shadow knights didn't attack?"
"En!"
"With a group of top-notch assassins who could move through the shadows, it's hard for me to imagine how the nobles won."
Kieran said honestly.
This was what he did not understand the most.
He couldn't imagine how the nobles could guarantee their own safety.
Or rather, how did the nobles deal with the Church of Shadows?
"If the Church of Shadows really joined the war, they 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 letter to all the churches, saying that they had to leave because of 'God's will' and that the date of their return was uncertain."
The elderly sister sighed with a bitter face.
No one knew better than the old nun how powerful the Church of Shadows was.
Because of that, Sister Moni's bitterness grew more and more helpless.
"God's will?"
Kieran frowned.
From the bottom of his heart, he did not believe such a coincidence.
"After they left the Goddess of Dawn, they worshipped the Lord of Shadows — a neutral God and had quite a tacit relationship with the Goddess of Dawn. Therefore, when the Church of Shadows was established, they received the full support of the Church of Dawn and didn't start a Holy War."
Sister Moni told Kieran more secrets.
"Are you sure the bishop of the Church of Shadows and the Shadow Knight are still …"
Kieran didn't say the word "alive", but the meaning behind it was obvious.
"I can't be sure.
But I can't think of anything else that would kill them. Although we call him the bishop, in fact, he is the pope, a powerful existence that could rival an army of ten thousand men. Besides that, there are 20 Shadow Knight knights, each of them is a powerhouse that could strike fear in one's heart. When they are together, I don't think anyone can threaten them. Moreover, that decree really has the presence of a God. "
Sister Moni said.
"Is that so?"
Kieran didn't object anymore.
His brows furrowed tighter.
…
Inside a certain palace decorated with gold and gemstones.
A middle-aged man in a red bishop robe was kneeling down in front of the God statue that was so tall that the palace had to build a dome to accommodate it. He was praying softly.
Inside the huge palace, only the prayers echoed.
The guards around were all serious, none of them dared to disturb the man, even their breaths were extremely restrained.
Half an hour later, when the prayers ended and the middle-aged man stood up, the messenger Knight who had been waiting for a long time finally delivered the secret letter.
"Oh, God's Child?
There is still a God's Child born in this era? "
The middle-aged man couldn't hold back his interest when he read the contents of the secret letter.
However, his exclamation was filled with mockery.
However, as he read the secret letter, his brows slightly furrowed.
Between the lines of the secret letter, the middle-aged man felt something familiar.
But he wasn't sure.
Still, it didn't stop him from making a decision.
"That bastard!"
The middle-aged man sneered and crushed the letter in his hand.
He didn't rub it, didn't tear it.
He just clenched his hand and the special letter was crushed into tiny paper shreds.
When he opened his hand again, the paper shreds fell down like dust.
"I need to make a trip to the Church of Dawn."
The middle-aged man said as he walked.
"Yes, Lord Bishop."
The Knight beside him bowed and accepted the order.
More than 10 minutes later, an airship that was infused with new technology but was mostly made up of alchemy techniques rose up to the sky from the palace.
It flew towards the direction of the Church of Dawn at a speed faster than a galloping horse.
In a shadowy spot outside the palace, the elder who saw the scene couldn't help but squint his eyes.
