"Annoying Holy Light."
After getting off the car, Gu Xi looked up at Westminster Cathedral and murmured silently to himself.
It’s not that he disliked the Holy Light, but rather that Undead Mages and the Holy Light elent were naturally oppositional.
After all, one is negative energy, the other positive; it’s a good thing if they don’t clash when together.
Peaceful interaction is simply impossible.
Not to ntion that Victoria City Church also serves as a cetery.
Gu Xi hesitated for a mont, and then turned to leave.
Just as Gu Xi turned around, he found a man in gilded heavy plate armor had sohow appeared behind him.
He turned around and was face to face with him.
The man had long golden hair and a fine mustache, resembling more of a nobleman.
However, the strong aura of Holy Light around him betrayed his identity. At first glance, Gu Xi judged him to be at least a Level 5 Holy Knight.
"What is an Undead Mage doing here?"
Gu Xi had no intention of getting along with soone who spoke so unkindly.
"Why is a Holy Knight so nosy? Is this your ho?"
The man was taken aback, then pointed to Westminster Cathedral behind him, "It really is my ho."
"Alright, does anyone say Undead Mages can’t co here?"
Gu Xi glanced around and noticed so priests in white robes passing by.
"No, but there are many Heroic Spirits resting inside and outside the cathedral, so visits by Undead Mages are unwelco."
"Well, I won’t go inside. I just want to look around outside, surely that’s allowed."
The man was montarily stunned; why did that sound so familiar?
"That’s still not allowed. Leave now, don’t make use force."
"Wait, don’t rush. I’m really not here to cause trouble. You know I’m an Undead Mage. Recently, I’ve encountered an Undead who realized his body had been moved and couldn’t find his grave.
You should understand what I’m talking about, so I’m here to investigate, to see if I can find out where his grave is."
Gu Xi quickly fabricated a reason.
The man looked at Gu Xi for a long ti and then retracted his aura, "Let’s talk outside the square, not standing in the square."
Gu Xi glanced helplessly at Westminster Cathedral, knowing he wouldn’t be able to enter for now.
All he could do was follow the man away from the large square in front of Westminster Cathedral.
Fortunately, this man did not show any hostility towards Gu Xi because of his identity.
In his view, whether a Holy Knight or an Undead Mage, they choose different professional paths due to inherent traits—no opposition or distinction.
As long as Gu Xi had no intention of impacting Westminster Cathedral or stealing the souls or bodies of the Heroic Spirits stored within, he had no need to conflict with Gu Xi.
So when he saw Gu Xi agree to leave the large square in front of Westminster Cathedral with him, he developed a bit of goodwill towards Gu Xi.
"You can call Sir Hart, a Level 5 Holy Knight of Westminster Cathedral."
"Hello, Sir Hart, I am..." Gu Xi hesitated for a mont, then decided not to call himself Sanderu or sothing like it. He borrowed the na on his Land Purchase Order, saying he was Joseph, a Level 2 Undead Mage.
Hearing this, Hart looked Gu Xi up and down.
"With how skinny you are, soone would believe you if you said you were a Level 5 Undead Mage."
Gu Xi wanted to say he was skinny because of hunger, but he held back and instead asked a pressing question.
"Isn’t it said that Holy Knights and Undead Mages would fight on sight? Why are you treating like this?"
"Who told you that? Holy Knights would never fight Undead Mages. If there’s a fight, it would be with Death Knights." Hart rolled his eyes at Gu Xi, "You’re a newbie Professional not from around here, right?
Have not reported to the Undead Mage Guild yet?"
"Is there such a good thing?"
"Of course, don’t you truly not know? Undead Mages are also an essential part of Victoria City. Without them, no one would handle the bodies falling dead on the streets each night, and nobody would manage the water ghosts in the Isis River and sewers.
How would those upper-class people live in Victoria City?
Saint Knights can’t handle everything, rember, Holy Light deals with ghosts, but it consus a lot.
So Victoria needs Undead Mages."
Hart finished speaking with a smug glance upwards, "Don’t look at with such admiration. I’m just the thought leader for three consecutive terms at the church school."
As he spoke, Hart flicked his hair, his set of pearly whites almost glowing.
"Okay, so helping souls find bodies should technically be handled by the Undead Mage Guild?"
"Yes, but over the years, nobody intentionally searched for bodies like you. The Undead Mages would simply bundle them up into an Undead Corps."
As they spoke, they had already left the large square in front of Westminster Cathedral.
Feeling no longer under the influence of the Holy Light, Hart changed the topic.
"By the way, who are you looking for? Did he ntion his na, birth and death years, or anything like that?"
"No, you know the Undead don’t necessarily rember things, but the only thing he can recall is that in the small chapel where he was buried, lay the body of Knight Bous. That’s the only clue he left behind."
"Knight Bous? Then you are indeed in the right place. If you were a few months late, you’d truly find nothing."
"What happened?"
Gu Xi asked curiously.
"Westminster Cathedral can host a limited number of Heroic Spirits, and plans are underway to move Knight Bous’s body to another church."
Gu Xi suddenly beca curious, "What happened?"
"Nothing really, just that a new baronet’s body was recently scheduled to be placed in Westminster Cathedral. The sa level of bodies overwhelming the saint inside, requiring Knight Bous’s body to be moved out.
If you later go looking for Knight Bous’s body, you’d have to search other churches. All previous relocation records won’t follow, aning the clue you need would be cut off here."
"Then my luck is really great. Can you find out where all those bodies from that little chapel were reburied?"
"I can help you with this, but you must stay here and not step a foot closer to Westminster Cathedral."
Hart sounded distrustful of all Undead Mages.
Seeing Hart like this, Gu Xi could only agree.
"Alright, I’ll wait here. But how long might it take?"
"Very soon. Moving Knight Bous’s body to Westminster Cathedral is a major event, recorded in a special docunt, including the information you need; it’s a quick check."
Hart said casually, while repeatedly reminding Gu Xi: "You must stay here, don’t approach Westminster Cathedral anymore."
