Without any hesitation, the tall, thin, strange man vanished silently into the night, disappearing without a trace.

After the monster left, two cars drove up with the sound of their engines. Kant and the others got out and began to treat the injuries of the five people.

"How is Lunger?" David asked, lying on the stretcher.

Jike reassured her, "She's temporarily unconscious due to suffocation. Don't worry, she's not in any danger."

The five wounded were quickly taken away, and Kant, Zeke, and the others turned their attention to the monster that was still struggling.

"What was that guy all about? You seem to know him?" Conte asked Charlemagne.

Charlemagne gradually regained his handsome appearance, which even made Los's heart flutter, and said calmly, "Have you heard of the Sun God Cult?"

Jike thought for a moment and said, "I think I've heard of it somewhere before."

Conte cautioned, "The guilty seem to be associated with the Sun God cult."

Charlemagne was somewhat surprised: "A guilty person?"

He was unaware of the existence of the guilty party.

"It's a monster that Trish found before, and it's currently locked up at the bottom of the sanatorium," Conte explained. "What happened?"

Charlemagne paused for a moment and said, "This is something I can't explain to you. I'll talk to the mayor directly tomorrow."

The two had no interest in the obscure and difficult history, and immediately turned their attention to the monster.

"What should we do with this thing?" Zeke walked over and poked the monster's blood-soaked fur.

"Why are you wearing a mask?" Kant walked over and reached out to take the mask off.

But with his immense strength, no matter how hard he tried, the mask remained completely still.

"That's strange, even if it's grown on top, it shouldn't be this sturdy!" Kant was puzzled.

Charlemagne sat down and examined the mask closely for a moment. He then noticed the patterns on the edge of the mask and said, "This is a magical artifact from the late Sun Dynasty. It must have developed special power for some reason. We'd better not touch it and wait for the mayor to make a decision tomorrow."

The two nodded cautiously in agreement.

The Sun Dynasty was the largest dynasty in ancient times and is the oldest known dynasty in human history. There are still many legends and stories about the Sun Dynasty that cannot be verified.

“Let’s send them back to Arkham Asylum first!” said Conte, and began to work.

The next morning, after Los got up, washed up, and ate breakfast, he was ready to go.

Before I could even leave the house, I heard Conte knocking on the door.

"What happened again last night?" Los asked, somewhat surprised to see Conte looking anxious.

Lilith smiled and said, "It seems the investigation into that monster is making progress."

At this moment, Kant strode in and gave a detailed report on what had happened the previous night.

After hearing this, Los's face showed curiosity, and he said, "Kant, go! Take Dr. Armitage to Arkham Sanatorium now, tell him it's related to the Cult of the Sun, and have him bring the relevant scriptures."

"Understood!" Kant then quickly left.

After quickly finishing his meal, Los said, "Let's go! To the sanatorium."

At 8:30 a.m., the two arrived at the underground ward of Arkham Sanatorium.

In one of the larger wards, I saw the monster from last night, along with Charlemagne, who was guarding the room.

"Mayor." Charlemagne bowed respectfully.

Los nodded and said, "Cont said you have something to tell me."

Charlemagne said, "Yes, I know that tall, thin weirdo from yesterday."

"You know him? He's your friend?" Los was somewhat surprised.

Charlemagne shook his head: "No, I mean I know their origins. I asked Dr. Poch for information about the guilty last night, so you should know about the guilty knights from the time of the Sun God Cult, right?"

Losen made a sound.

Charlemagne continued, "The guy who showed up last night was the Knight of Guilt."

"A knight burdened with guilt?" Upon hearing this, Los became curious.

"Logically speaking, shouldn't all the guilty knights from back then be dead by now?"

Charlemagne shook his head: "Strictly speaking, none of the guilty knights of the Sun God Church died back then, because life and death had no meaning for them."

"They were knights burdened with sin, but in the end, they were consumed by countless sins and became the embodiment of sin."

Chapter 0230 The Holy Sword in the Bloodline

Upon hearing Charlemagne's words, Los began to recall Dr. Armitage's analysis of the sinful person. At that time, it was preliminarily determined that the sinful person was very likely a sinful knight who had mutated for some reason.

At the time, Dr. Armitage also mentioned that many sinful knights were consumed by sin because they carried too much sin and became believers in the abyss.

The mention of the abyss inevitably brings to mind the ancient god currently imprisoned beneath Innsmouth, the serpent encircling the abyss.

"What is the relationship between the two?" Los wondered to himself.

After a moment's thought, Los asked, "You mean the people who attacked David and his men last night were sinful knights who survived from the time of the ancient extinction?"

Charlemagne nodded solemnly: "Yes, life and death are not important to them now. They are in a special state of trance. I can't explain why they have been able to survive for at least five thousand years."

There is still relatively little relevant evidence, so Los didn't speculate too much. Instead, he asked, "Speaking of which, I didn't expect that the legendary Holy Knight family would have connections with the Sun Dynasty."

Charlemagne looked apologetic upon hearing this: "Mayor, I'm sorry, this is already one of our family's biggest secrets."

Los waved his hand: "Everyone has their own secrets. I don't care if my subordinates have them. What I need is your ability and loyalty, not your secrets."

"Thank you for your understanding." Now that Charlemagne has received the blood of the ancient god, he understands even more clearly the power and terror of Los.

The ancient god blood he received that day was not the diluted ancient god blood he obtained from Innsmouth, but rather Los's own.

Los must keep a firm grip on some of his core subordinates who have great potential.

Having received Los's blood and been personally transformed by Los, he now deeply understands the true nature of the mayor before him.

Now that things have come to this point, Charlemagne sees no need to hide anything any longer.

At that moment, he raised his wrist, and under Los's gaze, a bluish-gray longsword tattoo appeared on the inside of his arm.

Then, accompanied by a burst of light, the ancient bronze sword from the previous night appeared in his hand.

Los's eyes flashed when he saw this. When he was being modified, he had vaguely sensed that there was something special there, but he was not sure what it was.

Charlemagne, holding the sword, said gently, "This is the sword of our Charlemagne family, the sword of our ancestor. It witnessed the birth of the first paladin and accompanied my ancestor throughout his glorious life."

“After our ancestors passed away, this sword, named Moonflower, has been passed down in our Charlemagne lineage, protecting and guiding our souls, and giving us the same qualities as our ancestors.”

"Even Judy doesn't know this. The endless torment he inflicted on me all those years was because of the protection of this sword. In the end, I fell into a huge split, and it was this sword that protected my main personality. Otherwise, I would have become a mentally unstable madman long ago."

At this point, Charlemagne said with a special gleam in his eyes, "This sword is a testament to the three-thousand-year heritage of our Charlemagne family, and it is also our family's greatest trump card and honor."

Looking at the unusual bronze sword, Los's eyes gleamed with a special light, and he smiled, saying, "It is a special legacy."

“Yes, it has always protected our family’s bloodline,” Charlemagne said, his heart filled with pride.

Los took a deep look at the longsword, then turned to the masked monster and asked, "Do you know anything about this monster's origins?"

Charlemagne sheathed his longsword and looked at the monster, saying, "All I know is that the mask on its face is a ritual artifact from the Sun Dynasty, which seems to be related to some kind of ritual, and that this monster should be a human in disguise. That's all I know."

"Then let's wait for the experts to arrive." Los wasn't in a hurry.

He now has a strong interest in the Sun God Cult and the Sun Dynasty, and he has a vague feeling that the Sun Dynasty has too many hidden secrets.

If those secrets are uncovered, many things he doesn't understand now will become clear.

Twenty minutes later, Dr. Armitage, led by Conte, arrived quickly carrying a suitcase full of books.

Dr. Armitage was also very excited to be able to obtain information related to the Sun Dynasty again.

"Mayor! Where is he?" Behind Dr. Armitage's thick glasses were a pair of enthusiastic eyes.

Los measured the body, allowing Dr. Armitage to see the enormous monster.

Such a bizarre and terrifying monster did not cause Dr. Armitage much discomfort or shock; his eyes were instantly locked on the huge wolf head mask on the monster's head.

"My God! What did I see! What did I see!" Upon seeing the mask, Dr. Armitage held his head in his hands, his face filled with excitement.

Neither Los nor Charlemagne disturbed him, allowing the fanatical doctor to get into his own rhythm.

After a moment of shock, Armitage skillfully took out gloves and a magnifying glass from his suitcase, and then carefully compared two yellowed and somewhat tattered books.

The monster sensed Dr. Armitage's approach and struggled to attack.

But he was glared at by Los, and his body immediately froze, not daring to move.

Armitage circled the monster's head, completely unconcerned about the stench of blood and grime, carefully wiping, observing, comparing, and recording.

Two hours passed in this way.

Finally, Armitage wiped his hands and blew on the still-wet ink in his notebook, bringing the entire authentication process to a close.

"Doctor, how is it?" Los asked enthusiastically.

By this point, he could no longer suppress his curiosity.

Armitage, still looking surprised, said, "Mayor, you really have a connection with the Cult of the Sun, to be able to discover something so precious."

Armitage didn't keep them in suspense, explaining directly: "This mask is called the Oath of the Covenant."

“The oath of the covenant?” Los was taken aback.

Charlemagne tentatively asked, "Doctor, this should be a magical artifact, right?"

Armitage nodded: "It is a magical artifact, but it is not one used by the Sun God Cult; rather, it is a magical artifact from the much earlier Sun Dynasty period."

"According to the unearthed materials, there were two suns in that era, one radiating infinite light and the other radiating infinite darkness."

"Then two great beings were born from the sun: the Sun King and the Black Sun King."

Chapter 0231 The Defiled Covenant

"The great Sun King, for the sake of light and life, successfully shot down the Black Sun King, causing him to fall from the sky to the ground."

At this point, Armitage explained, "In that era, 'oo' represented the color black."

Los commented, "It's a very old story. I guess King Wuyang started causing trouble on the ground after he fell."

Armitage nodded: "You're right. The Sun King thought he could achieve eternal victory, but he didn't expect that the Black Sun King, who fell to the ground, would shatter the earth. The terrifying power not only split the entire continent into four pieces, but also formed an incredibly huge trench."

"This deep trench should be the abyss mentioned by the Sun God Cult later."
