Chapter 99 Black Gold Robe
Seeing Fate's dejected appearance, Lin Tian felt helpless. The painted-face man had been eliminated, but An Li was nowhere to be found, and the outcome was predictable.
"Can you tell me who's behind this?"
Seeing Fate's somber gaze, Lin Tian thought for a moment and finally told him about Leo's physical characteristics and name.
As Lin Tian emerged from the church, he took a deep breath. Through this incident, he gained a deeper understanding of this world. In this other world where strength reigns supreme, ordinary people without power are nothing more than weeds.
No one cares, no one is concerned; their lives are as insignificant as ants.

[Superior Grade Black Gold Robe]
Defense: 31
Riding the Wind and Dancing Wildly (2/3): When transforming into Qi, the user and their clone are enveloped in black wind that continuously damages surrounding opponents.
The initial consumption of the gathered and dispersed energy is slightly increased. After the energy is restored, the dummy body will continue to exist for a relatively long time.
Note: The bowl-shaped iron helmet gleams with sealing wax, the black gold armor shines brilliantly. A black silk robe covers the sleeves, and long black-green silk tassels adorn the garment.
The moment Francis's human skin mask fell off, Lin Tian's investigation mission was already marked as complete, and this black gold robe was the reward for the mission.
Compared to the original clothes, this black robe appeared much thicker. In addition to the black base fabric, it was covered with some soft black animal fur, like the fur of some kind of bear.
In addition, the garment has a strong Buddhist feel, with a kasaya (Buddhist robe) around the waist and a large string of Buddhist prayer beads hanging diagonally around the neck.
Lin Tian naturally changed into this outfit. Needless to say, the defensive capabilities of this outfit far surpassed those of other equipment.
After completing the mission, Lin Tian planned to return to the mountain, since there was nothing left in Xicheng for him to miss.
Li told me that she was going to take Bai back to her family and had invited Lin Tian, but Lin Tian refused to go, so Li gave up.
If there was anything that Lin Tian kept thinking about, it would definitely be the man named Leo.
Lin Tian had seen his shadow many times along the way: Village Chief Tick, Mayor Wells, and the Painted-Faced Man. He also seemed to have ruined his plans several times. If the two met again, it would definitely be a fight to the death.
However, at that moment, his system suddenly emitted a "ding" sound.
......................
You've been a bit out of sorts these past few days.
Andrew glanced at his absent-minded apprentice and said softly.
"Anli is dead..."
"I failed to protect her..."
Seeing his apprentice in this state, Andrew couldn't help but sigh.
"I am deeply saddened by her death."
"She's a very good girl."
"I will personally recite the eulogy for her at her funeral in two days."
"But I also hope that you can understand this through this incident."
"That's how the weak are in this world, which is why I want you to become stronger."
Seeing that his apprentice remained silent, Andrew refrained from further lecturing. He knew that his apprentice was immersed in grief, and it was better to let him be alone and quiet at this moment.
"While I'm going to the meeting later, you can take a stroll outside. This municipal compound was recently built, and I heard there's a beautiful flower spring there."
As the bishop of the West City Cathedral, he was required to attend this meeting, but he usually just listened in and did not offer any opinions.
His main role was actually deterrence. As the strongest figure in the city, his participation in the meeting was to ensure that the governor's words were powerful enough.
When those small town lords and mayors meet this gold-level archbishop, they all suppress their ulterior motives.
As the meeting was about to begin, Andrew leaped into the air and unleashed a light barrier spell. As light emanated from his hand, several points of light shot out from the ball of light that he had condensed in his hand.
The points of light flew in all directions and landed in various corners of the municipal compound. Once they were all back in place, the points of light instantly emitted light, forming a semi-circular light wall that enveloped the entire municipal compound.
As a meeting that brings together all the important figures in the entire Western Region, security measures are still very necessary.
Andrew was also in charge of the security of the meeting, as only he could remove this barrier of light.
If there are indeed assassins, this barrier of light can not only keep them out, but also prevent assassins who have already entered from escaping.
In other words, unless you are stronger than Andrew, you are just fish on his chopping board.
After doing all this, Andrew descended from the air to the ground, and then looked towards the city gate...
It's time to start.

Fate wandered aimlessly through the municipal compound and unknowingly arrived at the flower spring that her teacher had mentioned earlier.
As the name suggests, Huaquan is a fountain with flowers. The flowers are spread across the stone spring like water, and when the wind blows, the flowers sway in the wind, making it look like they are flowing.
Fate slowly sat down beside him, recalling what Lin Tian had said about the purple eyes.
These days, his teacher probably noticed that he was in a bad mood and didn't force him to cultivate. He also spent all his time researching, but he found very little useful information about purple eyes.
Many years ago, perhaps before the empire split, terrifying rituals were often held in small villages in remote areas.
They would carry living people to the altar to offer as sacrifices to an unknown evil god, who would then reward them with some benefits after receiving the sacrifices.
The distinctive feature of this evil god is its purple, multi-pupiled eyes. Those who have received benefits from the evil god will all develop purple pupils and behave strangely.
Because they gained power quickly, they soon developed into a cult of evil gods. These guys burned, killed, and looted everywhere, constantly sacrificing living people and committing all sorts of atrocities.
However, other countries soon took notice of the matter and sent several high-level experts to wipe it out, and the cult has been quiet ever since.
Based on Lin Tian's description, Fate also felt that the person named Leo was very likely a member of this cult.
It is very likely that because they were not completely eradicated back then, some remnants of the party re-established their organization.
Thinking of this, Fate rallied again. How could she be so despondent when such an evil organization still existed in the world?
If Anli were still alive, she wouldn't want herself to be like this!
Fate slowly looked up at the sky, her eyes lighting up again. Meanwhile, the conference on Andrew's side was progressing steadily.
