Chapter 246: The Night Watchman and the Condemner
"Save me."
“Save me…”
“Ahhhhhh! Help me!”
Abel suddenly woke up in the darkness, his eyes filled with fear, and he subconsciously wanted to clench his hands.
What's going on?
He felt a trickle of cool sweat running down his back unknowingly. He took a deep breath and shivered for a while before finally realizing that he was just dreaming.
"What on earth is going on? Why am I like this?"
There must be a problem!
Abel took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and left the lion family alone in the night without even getting dressed.
He wanted to go to the church for help, but instead of going to the Storm Church, he turned and walked towards the Redemption Church.
However, just as Abel left the family mansion and took a few steps, his eyes suddenly became confused and the willpower in his mind gradually collapsed.
After a while, four people gradually emerged from Abel's shadow.
The leading man was in his thirties, with long white hair reaching his waist. He wore a black tuxedo, his eyes were closed and covered with a black blindfold.
An ordinary piece of paper appeared next to him, and black squirming words appeared on the white paper.
"You're still a little short."
Behind the blindfolded man with long white hair stood two men and one woman. All three of them stared at Abel, who stood there at a loss, his body trembling slightly.
Words continued to appear on the paper.
"I almost let him escape from control. My mind magic is still not strong enough."
The white-haired man was in his early thirties, with two men and one woman standing behind him.
The most conspicuous man was over two meters tall and as strong as a black iron tower. He had dark skin, no hair, and was silent.
The other man was a very thin old man. He could not straighten his back and his face looked grim, as if he was about to die. His ears were slightly pointed, and he was obviously a half-elf.
The woman had an ordinary appearance and wore glasses, just like an ordinary schoolgirl, except that she had silver rings on her hands, feet and neck that looked like some kind of alchemical props.
A piece of paper also appeared next to her, with words on it.
The communication between the few people made no sound at all.
"Painter, we have to complete Mr. Brandy's mission and secretly seize control of the Lion Family. We can't make any mistakes."
The white-haired man known as "Painter" nodded slightly, and his thoughts appeared on the paper.
"Don't worry. Thanks to the efforts of Lady Icewine, our people have spread all over the country of Syat. It's only a matter of time before we take control of the country."
The woman inquired, "But the False God Church and the Star Embracing Society are both big problems, right?"
The "painter" thought for a moment and expressed his thoughts with squirming words on paper.
"You are right. In fact, the 'Last Blood', that is, those people from the Witch Cult, are also a problem because they are targeting the 'Icewine Lady' herself."
"And their reasons are indeed very good, because the 'Icewine Lady' is the reincarnation of one of the five witches' soul fragments."
There were shock on the faces of the three people. They really didn't expect that the high-ranking member of the Silent Word Cult, "Lady Icewine", was actually one of the reincarnations of the soul fragments of the Witch of the End?
They had all heard about the split of the Witch Cult, with the top leaders supporting different reincarnated witches. It was said that when the witches were left with only one person, one of the legendary elements of destruction, the Witch of the End who possessed god-like power would be completely resurrected, and she would bring destruction to the entire world in an instant.
"Don't be afraid, Mr. Brandy and Ms. Icewine, they must have thought of ways to deal with it." The white-haired "painter" was full of confidence.
The woman asked another question on the paper.
"In East Coast Province, besides the Lion Family, the most influential family is the Fisher Family. How are we going to deal with them?"
The "painter" shook his head slowly and quickly gave his answer.
"We still have so many powerful opponents. The Fisher family, which has lost a strong family member, is not worth paying more attention to. We can just control the sick lion and cut them off."
The exterior walls of the Church of the Redeemer are inlaid with gem-colored objects, gleaming silver in the moonlight at night, and the huge glass windows inside display amazing stained glass art.
The walls are inlaid with countless beautiful gems, the towering vault on top is decorated with gold, and the huge chandelier is inlaid with crystals, casting a soft light.
On the altar was a wooden chalice of salvation, with candles and small icons nearby, and a thick carpet instead of a gorgeous floor was laid around the altar.
It is a strange phenomenon that the closer you are to the "Savior" in the church, the less luxurious it is.
The young woman in silver-white clothes sat calmly on the chair, clasped her hands together, bowed her head and prayed to the Lord of Redemption.
"I wonder if the new Storm Bishop will agree to our request to form the Night's Watch in a more reasonable way. It is our mission to eliminate the increasing number of heretics in recent decades."
She murmured to herself and continued:
"Those cultists have already taken action against Syat, and will also take action against other countries in the East. The reason why I left my hometown in Loen and came to the East is to drive them all out."
The woman took a deep breath and said:
"Great Lord of Redemption, please protect your steadfast and kind believers."
"The Night's Watch will change the despair and wailing of the people."
——
Half a year later, two new internal organizations of the church emerged one after another.
In order to deal with the increasing number of cultists and heretical incidents, the five major orthodox churches, except the Recast Church, each selected their internal elite personnel to establish "Night Watch" and "Condemner" organizations in the main cities of each province in each country.
The members of the Night's Watch mainly come from the Church of Redemption and the Church of Silvermoon.
The members of the Condemners come from the Church of the Sun, the Church of Order, and the Church of the Storm.
Whether it is the Night Watch or the Condemners, both organizations have no extra tasks and responsibilities. The only mission of all of them is to wipe out all heretics!
Moreover, several major Orthodox churches have persuaded the kings to grant great authority to the Night's Watch and the Condemners. As long as they have enough evidence, they can arrest and question anyone without approval, even the great nobles of the kingdom are no exception.
However, the subsequent trial still needs to be carried out jointly by the top leaders of the church and the kingdom. The Night Watch and the Condemners only have the power to arrest people, but cannot directly judge the target.
Unless the targets’ resistance is too fierce... not only do they refuse to surrender, but they dare to fight back, then there is nothing we can do!
People were full of curiosity and awe about the birth of these two organizations. They didn't know what the church was trying to do, but they only knew that the two organizations should be similar to the Inquisition and were definitely not easy to mess with.
The difference between the powerful organizations built by the two churches is obvious.
The Condemners are given greater power by the Church of the Sun, the Church of the Storm, and the Church of Order, and their behavior patterns are more violent. They can do things without considering too many consequences, and they don't even need to care about the lives of ordinary people.
Moreover, each member of the Condemners has special mysterious tattoos to prove their identity. Those tattoos require mental energy to activate and appear. At the same time, they do not have uniform uniforms and do not have fixed office locations. They keep everything about themselves very secret.
Although the number of Condemners is small, every formal member is a true elite. The bottom line for the elite within the church to join the Condemner organization is to have a qualitative change.
The total number of Night's Watch members is much larger. If you include those ordinary people who serve as support staff, the number of members of the Night's Watch is even five or six times that of the Condemners.
Their overall organizational structure is more complete, and there are many more standardized regulations to abide by. Killing innocent people in battle will be severely punished.
The Night's Watch members all wear silver uniforms, and the mark on their chests will indicate which church they belong to. There is even a fifteen-level job hierarchy within the group.
In fact, the five major orthodox churches outside the Recast Church initially only wanted to establish an organization.
But they argued for several years over whether to establish the "Condemners" or the "Watchmen".
In the end, because of the huge differences in their ideologies, the two sides simply separated and formed their own organizations. However, no matter what the composition and regulations of the two organizations, the Night Watch and the Condemners, their ultimate ideologies were exactly the same.
That is, to eradicate all heretics outside the six orthodox churches!
The city of Fein naturally also has two departments: Night Watch and Condemner.
The few and secretive Condemners kept their identities secret and did not publicly announce who they were, while the Night Watch set up their office semi-publicly next to the Fein City Police Department.
Today, Momir is still one of the deputy chiefs of the Fein City Police Department. Even if Chief Renzo disappears, the position of the new chief will not be his turn, but will be taken by a member of the Lion Family.
The chief of the Night Watch in Fein City began to meet with the nobles of the East Coast Province in turn. Not only the viscounts, but also the barons would meet with them to understand the situation as much as possible.
Darren came to Fein City on behalf of the Fisher family to meet with the Chief of the Night Watch. He smiled at the first sight of him.
"Nice to meet you again, Ms. Carly. You saved me several years ago."
The young black-haired woman in front of him, Ms. Carly, was the chief of the Night Watch. It was because of her that Darren was not killed by the Rheans at that time.
"It's true that we haven't seen each other for a few years. I saved your life because I was coming to Syat. I hope you can remember the favor I owe you."
Carly was wearing silver-white clothes, had short golden hair and green eyes, and looked like a very orthodox Lorn aristocrat.
"Sir Darren, you can report to me any situation regarding the heretics."
She paused and continued:
"No, I should say that everyone must report to me because that is the church's requirement. I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation in the future."
Darren nodded slightly and smiled, "Of course, we will fully cooperate with all reasonable requests of the church."
“I hope there will never be heresy on the East Coast!”
"Really? I hope so too, even if that means I'll lose my job." Ms. Carly paused and said, "I lost my parents because of the heretics' sacrifice rituals, and I was lucky enough to survive, so I hate their existence very much."
"I hope the Fisher family will never cooperate with those people. Do you understand?"
"certainly!"
Darren nodded solemnly, then smiled and left the office.
Night watchman.
Condemner.
Um……
He could clearly feel the determination made within the false god churches. The Fisher family must be more cautious in the days to come.
Not long after Darren left, Abe Rhine walked into the night watchman's office building. His eyes were confused and his expression was dazed. He unknowingly walked outside the office.
What am I doing here?
Abel was a little confused, but he still found Carly, the director of the Night Watch, in the office.
He paused for a moment, then got straight to the point and said, "Ms. Carly, I want to report the Fisher family."
"They are heretics!"
