Chapter 3 Tonight, the Undead joins the hunt

"I'm asleep?"

Ember sat on the edge of the bed with a look of doubt in his eyes.

As an ember, he should not be able to sleep anywhere except the bonfire, but now...

"Bang bang bang~!"

Three knocks from outside the door interrupted Yu Chen's thoughts.

Opening the door, Archbishop Anthony's figure appeared in front of him.

"Good morning, Your Excellency."

Archbishop Anthony lit up clockwise on his chest and smiled, "Do you need breakfast?"

Yuchen nodded and then said, "You can call me..."

Ember paused for a moment. He remembered that he was Ember, but suddenly realized that he had forgotten his real name.

After a moment of silence, Embers slowly spoke, "Embers."

"Okay, Mr. Ember."

Archbishop Anthony nodded slightly, and he saw that Ember did not want him to continue to use the title of the favored one.

It was as if the other party had not shown the night badge.

"Please come with me, Mr. Ember."

Archbishop Anthony made a gesture of invitation, walked forward and led the embers downstairs to the cafeteria behind the church.

On the dining table in the cafeteria, a generous breakfast was prepared for the two of them.

Archbishop Anthony smiled and invited Ember to take his seat, saying, "This is what I prepared according to Ruhn's diet. I hope you like it. If you have anything you want to eat, you can also notify me."

Yu Chen nodded slightly and sat down at the table without any doubt.

Then, the Archbishop saw Ember take off his helmet, revealing a handsome but slightly dead face.

Yuchen did not take the gaze of the Italian archbishop, but grabbed the white bread on the table and put it on his mouth and took a bite.

Although he did not need to eat as an "ember", Ember's memory told him that he needed to keep eating.

If you have the conditions, it is best to have three meals a day regularly.

This makes him more like a ‘person’.

“Thank you for the hospitality.”

Ember soon finished breakfast, thanked Anthony and put on his helmet again.

At the same time, an ice-blue sword emitting cold air appeared out of thin air in his hand.

Then, he followed the original road silently to the church hall.

Now, he is going to set out to find the Black Emperor.

"Crash! Bang!"

The sound of impact in the gaps in the armor mixed with heavy steps, and the man wearing full-body knight's armor appeared in the hall.

Then, he stopped.

The reason for stopping was that the hall, which was clearly empty last night, was now full of people.

The morning sun pierces the church’s stained glass, illuminating the flat rows of seats on both sides of the bright red carpet.

It was filled with men and women in various dresses, who were bowing their heads and closing their eyes and whispering devoutly to the goddess.

Even the arrival of embers did not interrupt their prayers.

"Mr. Ember."

Archbishop Anthony appeared beside Embers at some point, and he whispered, "The goddess asked me to tell you that the world is completely different from before, and you may need a little time to adapt to all these changes."

“…”

Ember did not reply, his eyes swept across the people who bowed their heads and prayed one by one.

Then, he nodded silently again.

Turning around and walking back to the restaurant.

"Mr. Ember."

Archbishop Anthony spoke slowly, but was soon interrupted by embers.

"ember."

"Okay, embers."

Archbishop Anthony was not annoyed, but just smiled and nodded, "In order to help you adapt to this world better, I have prepared a set of identities for you, one of which is the Night Watcher of the Night Church."

"Next, you can go to the Beckland Nightkeeper's headquarters to report, which is located at the Beckland Detective Agency on the back of the church, and find a man named Al Hasson. After the report, you can also not rush to go back to the church, you can go around."

"By the way, you are now Ash Black."

After a pause, Archbishop Anthony added, "You can borrow this identity to collect clues about the Black Emperor, and in addition, this is your operational funding, a total of one hundred pounds."

After saying that, Anthony handed the Ember ten paper notes with denominations written on them.

"Golden Pound?"

Yuchen suddenly asked, "Currency? Can't you buy it with soul?"

“All Beckland trades are conducted in gold pounds.”

Anthony shook his head, his meaning was clearly expressed-

He doesn't know what soul.

"at last."

Anthony looked at the armor on Ember and reminded, "If you can, you'd better change your clothes. Well, just like those believers in the hall."

Ember thought for a moment and decided to follow Anthony's advice.

After a moment of stagnation, the Knight suit on his body disappeared instantly.

Instead, it is a dark and brown undead suit.

Although it is still leather armor, Embers feel at least a little low-key.

"The helmet can be removed."

Anthony's eyes were a little surprised. He didn't notice how Embers did all this.

But after all, he was a demigod, so he quickly reacted, looked at the pointed triangle iron helmet on the ember's head, and gave another suggestion.

"so?"

Ember took off his scarf and revealed his handsome face again, asking.

"Yes."

Anthony smiled and nodded, "You are free to move. If you have any questions, please feel free to consult me."

Yu Chen nodded slightly, turned around silently and walked towards the hall again.

At this time, the believers in the hall had finished their prayers.

Their eyes fell on the strangely dressed embers, but they did not pay too much attention, and only thought they were children of unconventional nobles.

Then, they lined up to the altar and threw gold pounds into the dedication box next to the altar.

Ember looked away and turned away from the church gate.

The moment he walked out of the door, the dazzling and warm sunlight shone on him.

Yuchen subconsciously raised his head and looked at the sun above his head.

"It's really different."

Ember murmured in a low voice as he looked at the bustling crowds on the streets.

In the world of the Black Souls, there are not so many living people, nor so bright sun.

Rather, this made Embers doubt.

Is there really a need for fire transmission in this world?

Yuchen didn't know, but he decided to complete the task first-

Looking for ‘Bakland Detective Agency’.

“On the back?”

Ember turned around and looked at St. Samuel's Church, and then identified the direction.

Walking along the crowd to the right.

Soon, he successfully found a path that turned right and walked through without any obstacles.

Three minutes later.

As Embers stood in front of the gate of the ‘Bakland Detective Agency’, his expression was full of suspicion.

It seems like something that broke his perception—

"There is no need to detour or draw shortcuts? What's wrong with this world?"
