Chapter 184: The Book of Flesh and Blood
Chapter 180 The Book of Flesh and Blood
“Professor Brian, I know you like workbenches, it just so happens that there’s one somewhere that I’ve eliminated, if you like it, I can give it to you.” The meaning revealed by Brian’s eyes was so obvious that Owen couldn’t even pretend not to see it, and could only speak somewhat helplessly.
Although it was eliminated, but with the precision of this workbench, even if it was far inferior, it was still a good thing that he could only dream of, so Brian nodded his head contentedly, and only then did he have the mood to listen to Owen ask him about assassination.
Brian’s larynx was damaged, and Owen had the Flame Queen send him a device that allowed him to speak through an external stereo.
What Owen didn’t say, of course, was that the device had the ability to read the surface subconscious, and simply put, there was no way for Brian to lie, or at least not hide it from him.
“It was someone from the Church of Flesh and Blood who assassinated me and took the Book of Flesh and Blood out of my hands.” Brian said with a somewhat complicated expression, his eyes had hatred, pity, fear, celebration, and a hint of relief, making Owen couldn’t help but marvel at the other party’s really big eyes, but any eye that was smaller couldn’t hold so many feelings.
But the next words of Brian let Owen do not know what to say.
The empire does not have the Church of Light, which is a common and dominant sect in other worlds, it is a good thing for a heretic like him, who is obviously an outsider, but a hundred schools of thought also means a swarm of devils, and there are too many sects in the empire in disarray.
The Demon’s Head had just finished making a mess, and here came out another Church of Flesh and Blood, and Owen didn’t even know what to make of his expression.
Brian’s next words made Owen’s head hurt even more.
Because of the Book of Flesh and Blood, Brian had specifically inquired about the news of the Church of Flesh and Blood, and at this time, his body was destroyed, he told Owen without fear.
The Church of Flesh and Blood is a fairly ancient church, the specific history is unknown, perhaps it can be traced back to the beginning of the establishment of the empire, believing in an external god.
The so-called foreign god refers to a god that originates from outside the world, such a god has a strong and a weak, the weak is difficult to make a living, the strong is really strong to unreasonable.
The Lord of Flesh and Blood was a powerful foreign god, claiming that all the flesh and blood in the world came from him.
I don’t know whether it’s true or not, but it’s really strong, especially the unique flesh and blood rituals and magic, so that the empire can’t do anything about it, and many times they have suppressed it, but to no avail.
Fortunately, the Lord of Flesh and Blood is too far away from here, the connection is not strong, plus many years ago, the high priest of the Church of Flesh and Blood went so far as to sacrifice a city of 100,000 people to the Lord of Flesh and Blood, attracting the Emperor’s wrath.
After so many years under the constant suppression of the empire, the Church of Flesh and Blood had not acted as arrogantly as before, otherwise this time it would not have been a quiet assassination and covertly taking away the Book of Flesh and Blood, but rather an uninhibited massacre plus sacrifice, which was the most favored way of the Flesh and Blood believers.
Then Brian recounted the origin of the Book of Flesh and Blood, which is the gift that the Lord of Flesh and Blood sent down when the high priest of the Church of Flesh and Blood blood sacrificed 100,000 people, which can be called a divine weapon.
Of course, the one in Brian’s hand was not the real Book of Flesh and Blood, because the real Book of Flesh and Blood was destroyed in the battle with the Imperial Sword Saint just after it was completed.
However, because the Book of Flesh and Blood contained the ultimate mysteries of flesh and blood, the fragments were collected by people who had the heart to revise it into three books, namely the Book of Five Senses, the Book of Blood, and the Book of Flesh and Bone.
Brian obtained the Book of Flesh and Bone by chance, and if he hadn’t already fallen into an obsession with his own research at the time, I’m afraid that he would have already practiced flesh and blood magic under the temptation of this book.
Unfortunately, the trail of this book still leaked out and was sought by the people of the Church of Flesh and Blood, after all, this book was the holy text of the Church of Flesh and Blood.
Owen is almost depressed, I wanted to use the excuse to find an enemy for the territory, who thought that the enemy is too strong, dare to slaughter the city blood sacrifice of 100,000 people, can’t afford to mess with it. With no choice, Owen could only let the people do their work, and then began to prepare Brian’s treatment plan.
Killing Brian was not the purpose of the Flesh and Blood Church, so his death was not important, even if he was saved, the Flesh and Blood Church would not specifically target him.
Moreover, it was not easy to get a professor, the students have not graduated yet, we can’t just let him die, at least we can play again to fulfill our residual passion.
As the victim of Owen does not intend to continue to pursue this matter, but forgot that this world is not his say.
At this time, the black hand of the resident, small thumb has been staring at the information in front of him for a slightly long time, which is always decisive and shrewd for him is very rare.
The Black Hand’s intelligence ability was indeed outstanding, obviously the assassination incident that happened in the magic school not long ago, he had already received quite detailed information here.
Of course, although the Black Hand’s intelligence ability was strong, it wasn’t so strong that it was unforeseen, and Little Thumb’s intelligence personnel in the Northlands were likewise not so wealthy as to be spread throughout the entire territory of the Hydra family, especially the rather xenophobic Green Shade Town.
But who let the assassins of the Church of Blood and Flesh come to Akita Town through the Black Hand’s doorway, and it was still with the information provided by Little Thumb that the other party was able to infiltrate the magic school smoothly.
It was only that the Black Hand didn’t know the other party’s purpose before, and thus left this matter to Little Thumb.
Little Thumb was originally very wary of the assassins of the Church of Flesh and Blood, because the Church of Flesh and Blood’s practice is to massacre and blood sacrifice, which is obviously not conducive to the Black Hand’s layout in the Northland, and Akita Town has cost Little Thumb a lot of effort.
However, Little Thumb was also very curious about the purpose of the assassins of the Church of Blood and Flesh, and therefore did not do anything when the other party purchased the information of Green Shade Town.
It can be said that Little Thumb was staring at the other party all the way to mix into Green Shade Town, sneak into the magic school, assassinate Brian, and take away an item.
“Suspected fragments of the Book of Flesh and Blood…” With the Black Hand’s intelligence background, Little Thumb pretty much guessed what it was, and now the question was whether or not the Black Hand was going to intervene in this matter.
With the Church of Flesh and Blood’s behavior and insanity, the Black Hand was definitely not willing to mess with each other, but the complete Book of Flesh and Blood was a divine weapon, even if it was broken, the three books restored from the fragments were still extremely valuable, especially the Book of Flesh and Bone, which was rumored to be able to recast flesh and blood and was the key to regaining youth and opening up the key to longevity, and the empire didn’t know how many people wanted to get their hands on the book.
If the black hand got this book, just by using it to hold a flesh and blood ceremony to help people restore their youth or recast their flesh and blood, they would be able to gain countless benefits, so even with Little Thumb’s urbanity, he had to admit that his heart was moved.
“Where is the target now?” Little Thumb opened his mouth and asked, and Harvey on the side suddenly had a lot more cold sweat on his head, forcibly resisting the idea of wiping it off, he lowered his head and hurriedly said.
“The men lost them, and are now searching for the other side.”
Little Thumb just nodded, not surprised by the result.
Flesh Church’s assassin’s ability is not bad, what is lacking is just the intelligence in the Northland, once the hand, the other party wants to hide, it is very difficult to catch each other’s traces, after all, Flesh Magic is able to change a person into a man, a woman, an old man, a young man, any one of the people around you may be the assassin of the Flesh Church, and even a dog in your house may be possible.
Akita Town doesn’t have many elite personnel of the Black Hand, so it’s normal to lose them, and Little Thumb didn’t reproach, but let Harvey send the information of the place where the other party disappeared.
