System: Build My Own Territory Chapter 1201 - 326: Absolute Control (10K)_4

Such a short transportation distance could spare Hunter from paying many road taxes.

Even avoid plunder and attack from bandits!

Low transport time costs and absence of transport risks are the merchant’s most desired traveling conditions.

Hunter climbed the stairs and reached the living quarters on the third floor of the tavern.

He was about to enter the room.

Hunter’s gaze turned toward the street amidst a distant cluster of buildings.

A figure wrapped entirely in a black robe was walking among them, heading towards the church building at the end of the street.

Hunter glanced a few times, then casually withdrew his gaze.

He pushed open the double wooden door beside him and entered the bedroom.

With the faint light in the bedroom, he approached the large bed and undressed, lying flat on the bed.

His arms moved to embrace his wife, who had already fallen asleep, inhaling the familiar scent and warmth of her body.

Hunter gradually fell asleep.

For Hunter.

To run the tavern well during the day and earn enough money to support the family.

To be able to embrace his wife at night for a peaceful sleep.

Such a simple life was enough.

...

The black-robed man walked alone on the street enveloped in darkness.

Dressed in a black robe with a hood, his steps light.

If it weren’t for the occasional buildings casting oil lamp light from the windows, spilling onto his black robe.

Passing through one house after another, and turning several street corners.

The view before the black-robed man suddenly widened.

A square paved with smooth bluestone slabs came into the black-robed man’s vision.

Even if the black-robed man was visiting Kakasong City for the first time, upon arriving at this square.

The black-robed man could tell that this square was used for holding various ceremonies at Church Square.

The black-robed man’s gaze crossed the square, looking further into the distance.

There.

A castle-shaped building, completely white, stood tall.

Constructed entirely using marble.

Even at night, it exuded a distinct whiteness.

Having confirmed the target, the black-robed man paced around the edge of the square.

Perhaps intentionally.

Every few steps, obstacles appeared.

Could completely conceal his figure, evade others’ gazes, or hide from enemy ranged attacks.

As he approached the towering church gate.

The black-robed man paused his steps, wrapped tightly in the black hood.

Precisely behind a stone column’s shadow.

Even as passersby walked by.

Without careful observation, they would never notice the black-robed man in the shadow of the stone column.

As if blended into one!

The black-robed man’s eyes moved, scanning the church gate ahead.

Observing the castle’s outline structure, and whether guards were stationed.

Scanning around the church building to confirm no anomalies.

The black-robed man withdrew his gaze.

A pair of fair and slender hands reached out from under the black robe, crossing and placing them before his mouth.

In the next second.

Caw~caw~

Several bizarre noises like bird calls echoed from the black-robed man’s mouth through the crossed hands.

Lightly circling outside the church building.

Until the strange noises faded away into the distance.

The black-robed man’s throat moved, and more strange sounds arose.

Caw~caw~

However, this time.

As soon as the black-robed man’s sounds ended.

Two similar strange sounds echoed in the distant night sky.

Caw~caw~

Upon hearing the response, the black-robed man’s lips curled slightly.

Without any motion, the black-robed man stood straight, staring at the circling raven above with complete focus...

A pair of deep brown eyes bulged, staring unblinkingly.

Gradually.

The skin at the corners of the black-robed man’s eyes swelled with obvious blood vessels...

In an instant.

The black-robed man’s body suddenly moved, and those deep brown eyes turned completely white.

Not only the black-robed man.

The raven circling in the night sky also had its pupils turn completely white.

Additionally.

Swayed by the sound’s allure, the raven’s flight state changed.

It flew directly towards the church building ahead.

Piercing through the gap in the wooden structure above the church gate, entering the church.

Although it was late at night.

The expansive church hall was still brightly lit by numerous oil lamps and candles, illuminating it thoroughly.

Neatly arranged wooden benches.

A spotless carpet without any dust.

Marble tiles that almost seemed reflective.

Deep within the hall, a massive cross...

Within the church, the black-robed man captured all this clearly through the raven’s perspective.

The raven that entered the church gently flapped its wings, continually circling the hall’s ceiling.

It seemed to be searching for a direction to fly.

Upon spotting a corridor in the distance, the raven slowly flapped its wings and flew over.

Due to the slow wing movement, the raven’s altitude gradually lowered.

As the raven reached the corridor entrance.

It descended to a height that allowed it to fly in.

The gently flapping raven, as if displaying human-like traits, turned its head slightly, scanning the surrounding rooms.

However.

Minutes later, the raven failed to locate the target within the corridors of the church’s ground floor.

Once again flapping its wings, it maneuvered through the arched staircase to reach the second floor.

Just as it turned past a corridor corner in flight.
