Chapter 715 Getting To The Name
Lothur and Sebastian arrived in the city in the vicinity of the area where they had spotted the three demons.
This place was not far from the forest they had passed, and in the blink of an eye, the two were moving through the local streets, quickly approaching the Church temple.
Every city on the continent that exceeded a certain population would have a temple like the one they were going to. And from each place, one could access a range of possibilities within the Church.
Members like Sebastian could achieve relatively quick and far-reaching communication with people in other posts, something difficult for other organizations to do.
But the Church was so well-organized and wealthy that even if it did not have far-reaching communication capabilities, given its network of temples, one could send a message to one temple, which would send it to another, following that path until it reached its destination.
Even if this was a message to be sent to the other side of the continent, in less than 3 hours, someone like Sebastian could communicate with whoever he wanted!
In addition, there was countless information at each Church post, libraries of common information, special techniques for killing demons, etc.
Arriving in front of the Church building in this city, Lothur saw how similar this place looked to the temple in Peters City and imagined that all the buildings of this organization around the continent were similar.
"Liam, do you want to come with me and learn a bit more about the demons while I get your information and talk to my group?" Sebastian asked as he prepared to enter that place.
Lothur looked at the Church temple, a bad place for him to be, where there could even be formations that could identify him as a hybrid.
He promptly refused. "No, since you\'re going to get this information for me, I want to use this time to go to the local Cultivation House to get some information and then make preparations for our pursuit.
You can send someone to notify me when the group is assembled or deliver the information about Mathias to me."
"Is that so?" He was not suspicious of Lothur.
It made sense for \'Liam\' to search for information in the Cultivation House to try to solve his mission as quickly as possible, something that would make anyone feel a certain pressure on themselves.
A debt between cultivators was not a simple thing. Being in debt to someone was like being held at gunpoint.
It was not comfortable at all!
"Very well. As soon as I have the information you requested, someone will find you and pass on what I get here.
The group should take longer to assemble, as several of my companions are not here but at the Church headquarters." Sebastian said before leaving for that place without bothering what Lothur would do now.
Lothur saw that man disappearing from his sight and sighed. But soon, he set off towards the local Cultivation House, a place he had spotted while Sebastian guided him to this Church temple.
...
After paying for information at the local Cultivation House, Lothur found out more about Mathias\' possible family.
He had followed the recommendation of the man who had attended to him and Natali earlier and sought information about Ancestral Folk women who had been expelled from their tribes in Mathias\' time.
Searching for this information about these women who were expelled from the tribe between 5 and 4 thousand years ago, the official of the Cultivation House found 4 names for Lothur.
Only 4 women of the Ancestral Folk had been related to humans and expelled from their tribes then. The Cultivation House had no information about what had happened to them after their expulsions. Still, according to that official, those expelled from their tribes usually lived not far from the Ancestral Region.
There were those who were said to be expelled from their tribes and then started traveling around the continent, sometimes deciding to settle far away from their homeland. But most of these people stayed nearby, where their relatives could visit and help them, while their children could grow up near their homeland.
The Ancestral Region had natural effects on descendants of the Ancestral Folk that could greatly help the development of these people. Staying away from such an area could very well mean the end of some bloodlines.
Then there were hybrid tribes bordering the Ancestral Region, particularly in the westernmost part of the Petha Empire, the largest state in the northern region of Concordia, neighboring the eastern Ancestral Region.
This place was the friendliest in the north of the continent to hybrid tribes, but it also bordered the Ancestral Region.
Lothur listened to all this in a little over an hour of conversation, managing to narrow down the search area he would have to spend further on.
With that settled, he bought some resources locally and soon settled in a high-level cultivation room of that Cultivation House tower to wait for Sebastian\'s report.
...
Two days later...
While still in seclusion in a special room on the top floor of the local Cultivation House tower, Lothur received someone at his door, an envoy from Sebastian.
"Senior Liam, the elder sent me the information you wanted." A female voice came from the other side of the door of the cultivation room where Lothur was.
Immediately upon hearing that, Lothur rushed to the door and opened it, seeing a beautiful level 18 blonde woman waiting for him in the hallway.
In her hands was a book, which Lothur considered to contain the information he wanted.
He took it without ceremony, soon entering that cultivation room to search for the information he wanted.
That woman watched him intently but said nothing. Since this was a friend of Sebastian\'s, someone in the 4th stage, she would not question him for his manners.
Lothur quickly flipped through that book, noticing that this was a catalog with the history of several demon hunters from Mathias\' period.
He quickly skimmed through many pages until he came to the part of the names beginning with \'M\' and then searched for the surname of that soul fragment.
\'Mathias Scheidemann.\'
Lothur finally found that individual\'s name and started reading the 20 pages of information about the soul fragment he had met in Lewerenz.
Most of the content there spoke of Mathias\' achievements, how he had entered the organization, his merits, and some relevant facts about his journey.
But coming to the last two pages about Mathias, Lothur saw the part that interested him, where it said that after becoming a Nascent Soul Transcendent, that man had achieved his 5th Soul Bone, but also his expulsion from the Church.
During a mission in the Ancestral Region, while hunting demons with his group, Mathias met an Ancestral Folk woman named Verna.
