Chapter 256 - Chapter 256: Chapter 246 Night Watcher and Denouncer (2/2)

“The Night Watchers will change the people’s despair and cries.”

——

Six months later, two brand-new church internal organizations emerged one after another.

In response to the growing number of evil cultists and the escalating incidents of heresy, aside from the Reforging Church, the Five Great True Gods Churches each drew internal elites to establish the “Night Watcher” and “Denouncer” organizations in major cities of every province in various countries.

The members of the Night Watchers mainly came from the Salvation Church and the Silver Moon Church.

The members of the Denouncers came from the Sun Church, World Order Church, and Tempest Church.

Neither the Night Watchers nor the Denouncers had extra tasks or responsibilities; their sole mission was to exterminate all heretics!

Moreover, the major True Gods Churches had convinced the kings to grant considerable authority to the Night Watchers and Denouncers, allowing them to arrest and interrogate anyone with sufficient evidence without approval, even the nobles of a kingdom were no exception.

However, the subsequent trials still needed to be conducted jointly by the high-level officials of the church and the kingdom; the Night Watchers and Denouncers only had the power to capture people and could not directly pass judgment.

Unless the targets’ resistance was too fierce…Not only did they refuse to surrender, but they even dared to fight back, in which case there was no alternative!

People were filled with curiosity and awe at the birth of these two organizations; not knowing what the church intended to do, they just knew that these two organizations were probably similar to the inquisition, and definitely not to be trifled with.

The distinctions between the two powerful organizations constructed by the churches were apparent.

The Denouncers were granted greater authority by the Sun Church, Storm Church, and World Order Church, and their modus operandi was more violent; they could act without considering too many consequences, and didn’t even have to care about the life and death of ordinary people.

Moreover, each member of the Denouncers had a special mystical tattoo proving their identity, which required the activation of spiritual power to become visible, and they did not have a unified uniform nor a fixed office location, keeping everything about themselves highly confidential.

Although the Denouncers were few in number, each official member was truly elite; the minimum requirement to join the Denouncers was to have reached the Transmutation Level.

On the other hand, the Night Watchers had a larger overall number, including the logistics personnel who were just ordinary people. The Night Watchers organization even had five or six times as many people as the Denouncers.

Their overall organizational structure was more complete, and the regulations they had to follow were much more standardized; indiscriminate killing during battles would result in severe punishment.

The Night Watchers wore uniforms of silver, and the badge on the chest indicated which church they belonged to. They even had an internal hierarchy with fifteen ranks.

Actually, the Five Great True Gods Churches, excluding the Reforging Church, initially only wanted to establish one organization.

It’s just that they argued for several years over whether to establish the “Denouncers” or the “Night Watchers”.

In the end, due to significant differences in philosophies, they simply split and each formed their own organization. Still, regardless of the structure and rules, the final ideology of both the Night Watchers and Denouncers was entirely consistent.

That is, to eradicate all heretics outside the Six Great True Gods Churches!

It was only natural for Fein City to have both the Night Watchers and Denouncers divisions too.

The few and secretive Denouncers kept their identities under wraps and did not announce who they were in a grand manner, whereas the Night Watchers established their offices semi-publicly next to Fein City Police Department.

Mormir was still one of the deputy chiefs of the Fein City Police Department, and even as Chief Renzo disappeared without a trace, it was still not his turn to assume the new chief’s position, which was taken by a member of the Lion clan instead.

The Night Watcher Chief of Fein City began meeting with the nobles of East Coast Province in turn, not only the viscounts, but also the barons to gather as much intelligence as possible.

Darren, representing the Fischer family, came to Fein City to meet with the Night Watcher Chief. Seeing the other party, he smiled at first sight.

“We meet again, Madam Carly; it was you who saved me years ago.”

Before him, the young black-haired female, Madam Carly, the Night Watcher Chief, had saved Darren from being killed by the Rhea People back then.

“Indeed, we haven’t seen each other for several years. I saved your life because I was coming to Cyart. I hope you remember the favor you owe me.”

Carly was dressed in silver-white clothing, with golden short hair, and emerald eyes, exhibiting a rather authoritative beauty typical of the Lorne nobility.

“Lord Darren, if you have any information concerning heretics, you can report it to me,” she said.

She paused and then continued, “No, I should say you must report it to me, as that is the church’s directive. I hope for successful cooperation in the future.”

Darren nodded slightly and said with a smile, “Of course, we will fully comply with all reasonable requests from the church.”

“I hope there are never heretics on the East Coast!”

“Really? I hope so too, even if it would put me out of a job,” Madam Carly paused before adding, “I lost my parents to a heretic’s sacrificial ritual and was fortunate to survive, so I harbor intense hatred for their existence.”

“I hope the Fischer family will never cooperate with those people. Do you understand?”

“Of course!”

Darren nodded gravely and then left the office with a smile.

Night Watcher.

Denouncer.

Hmm…

He could clearly sense the determination passed down within the False God Churches. The Fischer family would have to be even more cautious in the days ahead.

Not long after Darren left, Abel Leone walked into the Night Watcher’s office building. With a confused look in his eyes and a bewildered expression, he found himself outside the office without realizing it.

What am I doing here?

Abel was somewhat puzzled, but still located Madam Carly, the Night Watcher Chief, in the office.

He hesitated for a moment, then got straight to the point with her, “Madam Carly, I want to report the Fischer family.”

“They are the heretics!”
