Hughes poured Yang Cheng a glass of water and handed it to him.
Yang Cheng shook his head and said, "My surname is Yang, not Cheng. I don't need any food."
Hughes slapped his forehead: "Sorry, I always forget the names of people from the Western Continent because they come last."
“Officer Hughes, is Count Nat’s library the largest library in St. Brand? I need to look up some books about supernatural powers, that’s why I’m going there.”
Hughes shook his head and said, "Of course not. Although Earl Nat's library is not small, it is a private library, and most of the books in it were left by his ancestors."
I even suspect that the reason Count Nat worshipped evil gods and founded the Truth Society was because he saw things he shouldn't have seen in those books.
Mr. Yang, you should know that supernatural powers are a very secretive thing. Although everyone knows about them, they cannot be seen by others casually.
Therefore, neither Saint Brand nor the public library of the entire Assyrian kingdom contained any information about supernatural powers.
And places containing information about extraordinary powers are not places that just anyone can enter.
For example, the Royal Library, the Witcher's Guild archives, the Alchemist's Guild or the Astrologer's Guild databases are places where you can find information on various supernatural powers.
Of course, the focus of the collections in these different places is also different.
The Royal Library contains many secrets about the extraordinary powers of the continent, and it is very difficult for outsiders to enter.
The Witcher Guild's archives mainly contain records of various extraordinary monsters and unusual events.
The databases of the Alchemists' Guild and the Astrologers' Guild are quite complex, containing all sorts of information, and are also the easiest to obtain.
If you cultivate good relationships with high-level alchemists and astrologers, or obtain materials that interest them, they will be happy to help you find relevant information.
Alchemists and astrologers, though eccentric in temperament, are generally easy to get along with.
Yang Cheng looked at the young policeman in front of him with slight surprise.
He had only asked casually, but he never expected that the young policeman would provide him with such detailed information and advice.
“You seem to know a lot about supernatural powers. It seems a bit of a waste for you to be a police officer. You should join the Night Watch.”
Hughes was silent for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said, "My parents both died in supernatural events, so I've always wanted to become a Night Watchman and wield the power to fight those strange monsters."
Unfortunately, perhaps because my faith in the God of Light was not devout enough, I was unable to perceive the God of Light's magic, so I was destined to become a Night Watchman instead of a policeman.
Although I can't use divine magic to deal with those monsters, the bullets, imbued with holy water and inscribed with runes by the Alchemist's Guild, can still inflict some damage on them.
At that moment, the office door was pushed open, and Lenser came over, whispered a few words to Hughes, and then left.
Hughes turned to Yang Cheng and said, "Mr. Yang, Master Morton, a senior alchemist from the Alchemists' Guild, has already investigated the Truth Society."
Count Nat and his men did indeed die from the sacrifice of the evil god, and that formation was truly effective. If it weren't for your intervention, Mr. Yang, the evil god of the Truth Society might have already descended.
Master Morton will come over shortly to ask you a few questions. If there are no problems, you will be free. Thank you for your cooperation.
Yang Cheng waved his hand and said, "Obeying the law is the duty of every citizen of the kingdom."
"But there's one thing I'm curious about: why did you invite the Alchemists' Guild instead of the Night's Watch?"
As an official organization, the police will inevitably deal with extraordinary events from time to time.
Some issues that cannot be resolved must be escalated.
Therefore, Yang Cheng thought that the person who was in contact with the police should be a member of the Holy See's Night Watch, but he didn't expect it to be someone from the Alchemist Association.
Hughes lowered his voice and said, "The Church of Light is already very powerful, and the Night Watch is naturally the strongest among these organizations."
However, in recent years, the Kingdom seems to have had some unpleasantness with the Papacy, especially regarding the authority of the Night's Watch, where there seems to be some dissatisfaction with the Night's Watch being too domineering.
So since then, the authorities have actually been in contact more with other civilian supernatural organizations, especially the Alchemists' Guild.
Although they have somewhat eccentric temperaments, they are quite easy to talk to when they are not conducting experiments.
Upon hearing Hughes's words, Yang Cheng immediately understood.
Isn't this just a struggle between imperial power and divine authority?
The Church of Light is a powerful force that has already dominated the faith of the entire Assyrian Kingdom. Now, it wants to seize even more of the royal family's power under the pretext of fighting against supernatural forces. Of course, the royal family will not agree to this.
Therefore, it is quite normal for official forces to turn to cooperating with other supernatural organizations.
