Chapter 58 Finding the Target



After Marshall left, Gu Shi placed the two space props he had just received on the table. He didn't expect Field to give him something separately, even though he hadn't agreed to choose him as a teacher yet.

Gu Shi first checked the space ring given by Marshall. There were three defensive items in it, two seventh-level ones and one eighth-level one, all of which were capable of generating a shield that lasted for a period of time.

The duration of the shield is determined by the number and power of attacks. When the energy in the item is consumed or the item is attacked beyond the shield's ability to withstand, the shield will disappear.

The necklace that Field gave was obviously expensive. It not only had a large space inside, but also contained many things.

The first thing Gu Shi noticed was a stack of magic scrolls of various types. He took out these scrolls and roughly flipped through them. They were all high-level scrolls, and there were even quite a few ninth-level scrolls.

He couldn't help but sigh, "I really underestimated the wealth of these noble families who have inherited this legacy from generation to generation. They can give away so many high-level scrolls so easily. Instructor Field is truly wealthy."

If the value of these scrolls were measured in gold coins, it would be an astronomical figure, and the ninth-level scrolls inside were rare.

After all, only ninth-order mages can make ninth-order scrolls, and the scrolls made by these mages are generally given to their relatives and friends, so there are very few circulating outside.

After reading the scroll, Gu Shi turned his attention to the props next to the scroll. Field only prepared one alchemy prop for Gu Shi, but its quality far surpassed the other three.

A rechargeable ninth-level defensive item with a concealment function. As long as Gu Shi chooses a good hiding place, hiding for ten days or half a month is not a problem at all. Field also thoughtfully placed a bunch of high-level magic crystals in the space to charge the item.

After reading what Field prepared, Gu Shi felt that he was about to be corrupted by his sugar-coated bullets. After all, he gave too much!

This was just an ordinary teacher-student relationship. If he really became a disciple, Gu Shi couldn't imagine how generous Field would be.

With these things in hand, Gu Shi can be said to have maximized his attack and defense. With confidence, he acts more boldly.

The next morning, Gu Shi began to walk around the entire church.

The church covers a large area and there are a lot of people inside. To find someone whose name or appearance you don't know in such a place is like looking for a needle in a haystack, but it is better than doing nothing.

Logically speaking, it was more likely that the person who made the move was trying to stop the insiders, but it could not be ruled out that someone disguised themselves as refugees and sneaked into the church to poison it, so Gu Shi temporarily regarded them all as suspects.

Because the church had taken in many homeless people recently, Gu Shi could only search room by room. In order not to make his actions too conspicuous, he did not enter the room, but just pretended to pass by and walked through the door normally.

Because the smell he smelled yesterday was very strong, Gu Shi could make a judgment just by standing outside the door.

As time passed, the atmosphere in the city became more and more depressing. The residents, who had originally thought it was just an ordinary beast tide, became increasingly depressed when they saw Langari being besieged by seemingly endless undead.

The battle outside the city was still intense. Gu Shi hadn't seen his mentors in the past few days. As the highest-level combat force in Langari City, they had been fighting outside.

Gu Shi couldn't help much with the battle outside the city, but there were things he could do inside the city.

Gu Shi spent three whole days running around every corner of the church. Although he was mentally prepared to get nothing, he still couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

It was already late, and the exhausted Gu Shi decided to sit in the garden nearby to improve his mood. He walked slowly as a group of black-clad servants passed him in the corridor.

In an instant, Gu Shi's eyes lit up.

Finally found it!

Gu Shi did not immediately turn around and follow the group of people, but continued to walk in the opposite direction of them at his original pace.

When the team of servants turned the corner of the corridor, Gu Shi immediately took out the defensive item that Field had given him, activated its concealment function, and quickly followed them.

Even though he had gained the stealth effect, Gu Shi did not follow too closely. He did not want to torture his nose.

Keeping a distance of about two meters from the team, Gu Shi walked quietly behind them.

There were five servants in this team of black servants. Except for the leader, the other four were holding a stack of books in their hands.

Gu Shi had also seen this kind of booklet in the church these past two days. It was one of the means used by the Holy See of Light to spread its faith. It contained stories about the God of Light and various words of praise.

Because these people were relatively close to each other, Gu Shi couldn't tell which one he was looking for, so he could only memorize the faces of all five people.

Gu Shi followed them all the way to a room, and then the leader said, "Put down your things, today's work is over."

After saying that, he turned and left.

Gu Shi did not move. After the leader left, the smell here did not disappear. That person was not the one he was looking for.

After the remaining four people put their things away, three of them left together talking and laughing, leaving behind only a young man who looked a little gloomy.

Now Gu Shi was certain that this gloomy young man was the person he was looking for. He carefully investigated and did not sense any magical fluctuations from this person. He was actually an ordinary person, not a professional.

How could an ordinary person tamper with the holy water under the noses of so many priests?

Gu Shi was certain that this person was definitely not as simple as he seemed.

After putting away the book in his hand, the young man closed the door and left alone.

Seeing this, Gu Shi immediately followed.
