73: Nine major orthodox sects, inheriting bloodline

Therefore, Ron was not surprised by the content of the first three pieces of intelligence.

So, Ron’s gaze then moved downwards, continuing to read the later intelligence.

“Haha, Mickey is truly a filial son; he doesn’t even want to investigate his own mother’s death…”

Ron’s mouth twitched, almost unable to maintain his composure.

However, considering Mickey’s background and Mirar’s harsh attitude towards him, Ron could somewhat understand Mickey’s choice.

“Indeed, it was the correct choice not to take those jewels and the logbook.”

Ron nodded to himself. If he had really taken everything from the secret compartment, then besides a thief who committed robbery and murder, Gevas would have first thought of those connected to the sacrificial slaves.

After all, Gevas was not a fool.

Previously, with only Barto’s death, and no other information, Gevas naturally couldn’t figure out what Barto’s death was all about.

But now, with Mirar also dead, Gevas would surely connect the two deaths.

At that point, when Gevas launched an investigation, he would inevitably become suspicious of Ron.

“However, even if the matter is exposed, there’s nothing that can be done…”

Ron’s eyes flickered as he muttered to himself.

“After all, rather than being constantly targeted by Mirar and waiting for death, it’s better to strike first and risk gaining some time to develop.”

Ron had previously calculated that although he couldn’t break through again and advance to the realm of a Just Knight in a short period, after activating his Mental Energy with an Spirit Awakening Potion, he had refined several Blast Bombs and modified and strengthened weapons like flintlock pistols, Molotov cocktails, and poisoned needles.

Coupled with the Amulet, he was now fully qualified to engage in battle with a Just Knight.

Now, he had also obtained Mirar’s family magic book.

If he could learn a few important apprentice-level spells, like the Fireball Spell, then with the combination of these various powers, Ron was confident that even an experienced Just Knight like Gevas would be slowly played to death by him.

“Gevas’s mistress will play cards all night with neighbors?”

Ron raised an eyebrow. It would take at least two days for Gevas to transport the slaves to Kula City.

He had originally planned to go to Gevas’s mistress’s house to steal the Fighting Wolf Breathing Technique as soon as Gevas left.

The appearance of this piece of intelligence saved him a lot of trouble.

“Alberto is a devout follower of the Night Sect?”

When Ron saw the eighth piece of intelligence, he couldn’t help but be taken aback.

Immediately, the corners of his mouth turned up, and he quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

“Believing in the Night Sect, it’s impossible for Alberto to collude with the Saar Family,” Ron thought to himself.

He had previously learned about the relationships between the sects on the God-Given Continent.

Besides the Creation Sect of the Supreme Goddess of Creation, there were also nine other orthodox gods, each with their own sects, namely: the Blazing Sun Sect, the Night Sect, the Flame Sect, the Earth Sect, the Ocean Sect, the Storm Sect, the Wisdom Sect, the War Sect, and the Death Sect.

These nine major sects, although all belonging to orthodox gods, had very complex relationships.

Some were close, some ignored each other, and some even secretly opposed each other.

There were many reasons for this, but most were due to the authority of the gods they worshipped.

Taking the Night Sect as an example, among the nine major sects, its relationship with the Flame, Ocean, and Storm Sects was ordinary.

Its relationship with the Earth, Wisdom, and Death Sects was close.

Its relationship with the Blazing Sun and War Sects was hostile.

The reason was also simple: the authority of the goddess of the night was to control night, the moon, tranquility, and death... while the authority of the three orthodox gods of Flame, Ocean, and Storm was mostly related to elements.

Therefore, the two did not interfere with each other, had no connection, and their relationship was naturally ordinary.

As for the Earth, Wisdom, and Death Sects, part of the authority of their three orthodox gods was similar to that of the goddess of the night, but they did not conflict.

For example, the goddess of death also had the authority over death, but her death was the cycle of birth, aging, sickness, and death, part of reincarnation.

The goddess of the night’s authority over death, however, was the end of life, the final destination, everything returning to peace, eternal sleep in the darkness.

Although these two authorities were similar, they represented two different concepts, and they did not conflict with each other; in fact, they were somewhat compatible.

Therefore, the Earth, Wisdom, and Death Sects were relatively close to the Night Sect.

As for the Blazing Sun Sect and the War Sect, they were hostile to the Night Sect.

The reason goes without saying: the god of the blazing sun controlled the daytime, while the goddess of the night controlled the night; they were in opposition.

And part of the god of war’s authority included slaughter and riots, which were the opposite of tranquility, so their relationship was also not very good.

“The Blood Moon Sect, worshipped by the Saar Family, not only has evil doctrines, but most importantly, they believe that the god of the blood moon controls a red moon.”

Ron recalled the previous intelligence that introduced the Blood Moon Sect.

Their followers believed that a great catastrophe would occur in the future.

A new red moon would replace the old moon, taking control of human life and death, and establishing a new order.

“In essence, this god of the blood moon is attempting to erode and replace the authority of the goddess of the night.”

“Therefore, apart from the Creation Sect, which governs order and balance, among the other nine major sects, the people of the Night Sect must hate the Blood Moon Sect the most!”

Ron was very certain of this conclusion.

Since Alberto worshipped the Night Sect, it was impossible for him to have any illicit dealings with Madoc Sal.

Therefore, if he wanted to rescue his sister in the future, this Alberto might be used by him, becoming a sharp dagger aimed at the Saar Family and the Blood Moon Sect!

“Each family has at least five Armed Knights? This is normal.”

Knights are divided by realm, from low to high: Apprentice Knight, Formal Knight, Armed Knight, Honor Knight, Earth Knight, Sky Knight... And for a city as large as Kula City, having thirty to fifty Armed Knights is a very reasonable matter.

“However, the Kura Family and the Saar Family actually have two inherited bloodlines?”

Ron looked at the last piece of intelligence, somewhat surprised.

In this world, some powerful individuals would use certain methods to pass on their abilities to their descendants through bloodlines.

However, this method was not stable, and not all descendants could inherit or activate the abilities within the bloodline.

Therefore, very few bloodline families have survived to this day.

“I have some guesses about the Kura Family’s bloodline,” Ron mused, thinking to himself.

“I heard their family uses wolf-type magical beasts as their family emblem.”

“Moreover, the Knight Order they established, as well as names of shops and the like, all contain the word ‘wolf’.”

“Perhaps… their bloodline is related to wolf-type magical beasts?”
