Vysard, Baltsar, and Dillia ran inside the room as they felt the building tremble, as they thought that the group they captured was trying to escape, but, the situation there was even more surprising.

-" Thorin?" Vysard was confused as he saw Oppius lying limply on the ground. " What happened?" He never saw Thorin so serious in his life, so he was naturally concerned,

-" Just taught him a lesson." Thorin's humphed as he kicked Oppius. " Dillia, take care of him." He quickly returned to his seat and focused on the Shiy again. " Are you ready? If you cooperate with us, I will even heal that woman,"

Shiy bit his lips as he looked at Janset's grotesque wound, he cared so deeply about her that he was even willing to betray his country and deity. -" Yes..." He looked defeated as he knew that he would have no future in the Eastern Empire after today, he even doubted that Janset would stay by his side, but to him, it was all worth it.

-" Why don't we start from where we left off?" Thorin's heart raced, he wasn't just doing this to gather information for the Chruch, but, he too was curious about the Eastern Emperor. " What did that man mean when he said that you drank the emperor's blood?"

-" Shiy...." Janset tried to plead with him one more time. " This isn't a good idea."

-" I'm sorry Janset." Shiy eyes wavered as he looked at the woman, but, he needed to save her. " After you reach a certain rank in the army, you will be invited to an induction ceremony..." Shiy voice trembled as he spoke, the thought of betraying his so beloved country only increased the humiliation he felt. " The Emperor... he bestows a chalice of his blood to every one of his new officials."

-" A Chalice of blood?" Thorin's eyes widened in shock, he was sure that the Sun Energy that the man wielded came from this. " How your body felt after drinking it?" Thorin had his own experiences with something similar, so he was naturally interested.

-" Almost as if a fire was lit up inside my soul." Shiy face palled as he continued to speak. " A fire so strong that I was afraid that it would even consume me."

Thorin, Dillia, and Vysard were all shocked as they heard the man, the idea of someone creating Sun Blessed was too baffling for them.

-" Won't this mean that he can create as many Sun Blessed as he wants?" Dillia's face darkened in fear, she was always confident in the Chruch power due to the army of Sun Blessed they had.

-" There must be a limit to this?" Thorin let out a deep breath, the situation only grew more and more suspicious as time passed. " How many people were in this ceremony?"

-" The ones who drank the Chalice? Around twenty-five people. " Shiy gulped as he remembered that fateful day. " But only five survived the ceremony."

Dillia let out a sigh, it looked like the ceremony was more deadly than what she first thought. " So it isn't that simple...."

-" It's still quite high, a twenty percent chance of creating a Sun Blessed isn't that bad." Thorin relaxed his back as his thought ran wild, he wondered if the Chruch knew about this. " Your companion called Dillia a Sun Born, what is that?"

-" A Sun Born is someone that is born with the gift of the sun, different from us that were only bestowed it."

-" How many people have been bestowed this power in the army? And there is any Sun Born there?" Thorin tried his best to get every bit of important information he could.

-" I don't know the exact number of bestowed, but, I'm sure that the number is more than three thousand."

Thorin's eyes shuddered after hearing this, even the Chruch didn't have that many Sun Blessed, yet, his shock only grew as the man continued.

-" As for Sun Born, I'm not sure about the exact number, and can only confirm the four great generals."

-" The four great Generals?" Vysard was curious, he vaguely remembered the name of one of them, as it was written in the mission parchment. " Is Salgos a Sun Blessed?"

-" It's Sol'gos, And it looks like it," Thorin smirked as he heard Vysard. " I know the name of Sol'gos and Aurelion, who are the other two?"The four great generals were shrouded in mystery, and even the Chruch with its gigantic spy network found little to no information about them.

-" Aurelion, General of the First army and the Grand Marshal of the Eastern Empire, Sol'gos the General of the Second army and the Leader of the Expeditionary Force, Helios, General of the Third Army and commander of the Enforcer corps, and the last one is named Solaris the General of the fourth army and the captain of the Emperor Guard."

-" Any more information on them?" Thorin made a mental note of their names and position as he continued to ask the man's question.

-" They are all mysterious, and no one ever heard of them before they suddenly appeared with the Sun Emperor almost twenty years ago." Shiy paused for a moment as he felt his throat hurt. " There is a legend that they are four angels that accompanied the Sun Emperor to conquer this world once again."

Thorin nodded, some part of his curiosity was finally satisfied. " It's enough about this for now, why don't we talk a little about Daalmak and the Phurad Legion?"

Shiy closed his eyes as he let out a laugh, he already had a sensation that the group was looking for Daalmak. " If you are aiming for Daalmak, you don't have to worry... It won't take too long for him to come looking for you."

-" Oh? And why is that?" Thorin smirked in surprise, it looked like they already had been discovered.

-" Your battle in the harbor of the Asherah Kingdom grabbed his interest." Shiy's smile widened as he continued. " He is quite the battle fanatic, and wanted to go hunt your group as soon as he heard the news."
