Trash of the Count's Family

Cale’s face slowly turned odd as he got closer to the place where the blue lights were rising up.

‘Basically nobody is sleeping.’

Cale, who was hiding behind a bush on a hill and looking down, could see people coming and going.

– Human, they really are all wearing masks!

As Raon mentioned, the large number of people coming and going across the streets and alleys were all wearing masks to cover their faces.

The white masks with a single large blue teardrop gave off an eccentric vibe.

Furthermore, they were all wearing white clothes. The way the white clothes and white masks looked under the blue light made the Blood Cultists look leery.

“They really look like crazed cult members.”

Cale paid no attention to Choi Jung Soo’s quiet mumbling as he looked at Old man Baek. Old man Baek opened his mouth.

His voice was quiet as well.

“The priestess is finished with her prayer, so the Cultists are probably heading home.”

“Does the prayer happen at the Stairway to Heaven?”

It sounded reasonable as the priestess is said to be there.

“No. Only a few people have permission to enter the Stairway to Heaven. There are multiple halls for prayers. They pray there following the lead of the harbingers.”

“Harbingers?”

“The cultists who have been approved by the Blood Cult.”

Cale looked at Old man Baek, who was answering all of these questions, for a moment before turning his gaze.

“Let’s go.”

Cale then pulled a mask out of his pocket.

He was also wearing white once he removed his robe.

‘You have to dress like this in the Blood Cult during night time.’

Cale already knew that after hearing it from the three Blood Cultists.

He turned to look at Hoya and Yoon.

As the two of them flinched…

“Let’s do your roles properly?”

Choi Jung Soo approached the two of them as Cale said that.

“…….”

“…Mm.”

Choi Jung Soo placed black burlap sacks over their heads as they cowered.

Cale watched it before looking toward Number 7.

“Let’s do a good job?”

“Y, yes sir!”

Number 7 looked extremely disciplined as he put on a mask.

He took the lead followed by Choi Han and the others as they planned in advance.

Old man Baek stood next to Cale in the rear.

“Although I don’t know about getting inside Stairway to Heaven, this should be enough to get us near it without any issues.”

Old man Baek chuckled.

No Blood Cultists should come near people leading sinners who dared to break the commandments. If anything, they would look away.”

Stairway to Heaven. There was a simple method to get there.

Cale’s group was disguised as guards leading the young Blood Demon candidates, who were made to look like sinners who broke the greatest commandments of the Blood Cult.

They would then split up and have a team waiting outside Stairway to Heaven while the other team used Raon’s invisibility spell to stealthily infiltrate the building and destroy the core of the formation.

Then the people waiting outside would confirm the signal before releasing large-scale signal flares into the air.

Their allies waiting by the coast would confirm this, verify that the sea has settled, and then immediately send out the ships toward Hainan.

This was the gist of the plan.

‘The people entering will also have to find the priestess.’

Cale thought about the plan once more before raising his head.

“I am starting to walk now, sir.”

With Number 7’s tense response, Cale entered into the little city that was sparkling blue even in the middle of the night.

“Eek!”

“Mm.”

Old man Baek had been telling the truth.

Anybody who saw the two young Blood Demon candidates who had their heads covered in black burlap sacks all moved out of the way or turned around.

They also did their best not to make eye contact with Cale’s group.

– Human! These people are not that strong! But all of them look as if they have at least learned basic martial arts!

Cale’s group listened to the information from the invisible Raon as they moved quickly but not so quickly that they looked rushed toward Stairway to Heaven.

Of course, they did not use the major roads and used the streets that were best to avoid people’s gazes.

It was all thanks to Old man Baek and Number 7.

– By the way, human. Those blue lights are a bit weird! They are neither magic nor formations. They feel a bit dreary.

Cale looked at the blue light seeping into his white clothes before raising his head.

The blue lights were hanging on long poles lighting the area, reminding him of the street lamps in Korea.

There was nowhere on the street that the blue lights did not reach. Even the small allies had the blue lights.
