Mystery: Paradox Path

Early in the morning, just as Snow had just woken up Mr. Fool from his sleep and was about to go to eat a hearty breakfast next door, the doorbell rang suddenly.

Lily seemed to be used to this situation, and without waiting for Snow to give a hint, she jumped down from the dining table, all the way to the door, and lightly jumped on the door handle.

As the door squeaked open, Lily looked at the young man she didn't know before, with a strange expression, as if she was worried about whether she should open the door, but then, Snow's voice came from behind—

"Oh my, my old man, my cat won't recognize you with the way you look!"

"No way, my family just died of a Beyonder! If I hadn't come to you, I would have been on a passenger ship going to the Sunya Sea by now." The young man at the door looked like he was only twenty-three or four. He was wearing a formal suit that wasn't expensive, but at least it wouldn't look abrupt. He spoke in a tone of vicissitudes that didn't match his appearance. He seemed to want to hammer Snow on the chest to express his friendliness, but after hesitating, he didn't do it.

"Anyway, come in and talk." Snow saw his restrained appearance, picked up Lily hanging on the door handle, and motioned for the other party to come in.

The two walked all the way to the living room, and Caspars immediately took out a tin box from his arms, which contained a mass of rotten meat with a rancid smell. Mud from the ditch.

"I don't know if this is what the existence wants. Anyway, after the guy dies, the rest is a bit weird."

Caspars, who was young, pointed to the contents of the tin box with some uncertainty. Snow glanced at it and nodded:

"Yes, this is it."

After speaking, he released his spirituality and closed the tin box before saying:

"You don't have to worry too much. The honorable name I gave you points to a relatively gentle existence. You don't have to worry about any problems in a short time."

"That is, there may be..." Caspars thought to himself, but didn't say it. After all, in his own situation at the time, if he didn't do this, he would die, and now, at least he is still alive.

Seeing that Caspars was still silent, Snow did not try to persuade him, but took out a ring from under the coffee table and put it on the table, then took out a booklet and said:

"What I said is too complicated and you may not be able to understand it in a short time. In short, now you have two choices. First, wear this ring and become the agent of my lord. From now on, spread the faith for my lord, Develop believers; second, work for our Lord as peripheral members.

The former you will be bound to the Church of our Lord,

One is prosperous, and one is lost. In the latter, you are only a temporary staff, as long as you regularly complete the tasks assigned to you, of course, this will cost you a lot of benefits. "

Speaking of which, Snow pushed the pamphlet to Caspers—

"These are the benefits that can be obtained by believing in our Lord. Of course, it also stipulates corresponding obligations and rules that need to be followed. You can take a look at it before making a decision."

Although Caspars adjusted his age to his twenties, his experience did not diminish, so he was not like an ordinary Storm Lord believer, but he made a choice in his mind and picked up the booklet. , read it carefully.

I have to say that the welfare of this unknown church is really very good. It can be exchanged for magic through prayer, and it can pray for the protection of the gods in times of crisis. It can also quickly learn knowledge and languages ​​that are difficult to get started.

Looking at the employee benefits, Caspars felt that the contents of the booklet were completely different from what he imagined.

There are no bloody sacrificial ceremonies, and there is no need to enshrine a lot of money. It is a little surprising that everything is going well.

"Don't be surprised, I didn't mean to lie to you. These are all the rules. Of course, there are risks. For example, if you reveal your identity, you may be hostile or even hunted down by the Orthodox Church."

Snow looked at Caspers' changing expression and patiently explained some details. Caspers hesitated for a moment, and finally reached out and picked up the jewelry box.

Even if he is an outsider, he somewhat understands that after he prays to that existence, he has already formed a connection with the other party. In this case, choosing to become a peripheral member is just like the one that Emperor Roselle said. Just like an idiot who covered his ears to steal the bell, in this case, he might as well choose to become a core member and enjoy more benefits.

Caspers opened the jewelry box and saw the delicate ring.

This is a ring made of silver-white metal. The front is inlaid with a blue square gem surrounded by dozens of finely broken sapphires. It is engraved with complex lines, but the nicks have no effect on it at all. The luster, on the contrary, sets off the splendor of the gemstone, which is mysterious and restrained, and on both sides of it, there is a line of small ancient Hermes language runes, one represents the number "4", and the other means "mercy".

"This is the Ring of Mercy. Using it as a seal can make the document have the effect of a contract. At the same time, there is a substitute named Randkiel. Of course, the most important function of this thing is to serve as a token of the organization." Snow After briefly introducing the function of the ring, Caspars listened carefully, and then said solemnly:

"So, as a core member, what do I need to do? You know, I need to leave Backlund for a while. Otherwise, even if those guys don't come, the official ones will come."

"You don't have to worry about this, the task given to you is very simple - use that arrow to create more avatars. But before that, you need to do some basic literacy knowledge of mysticism..."

...

Just when Caspars, who had completed the mysterious enlightenment, bid farewell to Snow and boarded the passenger ship to the Sunia Sea, Audrey had just bid farewell to her "tutor". After finishing her notes for the day, she got up and walked towards In the bedroom, there, an exquisite doll was lying quietly on the head of her bed.

Audrey took a few steps forward, dragged the doll's armpits with both hands and lifted her up, like an innocent girl chatting with her doll. After a while, her beautiful eyes reflected A bit dignified, he immediately put the unnatural laughing puppet back on the head of the bed and called softly:

"Susie!"

"Audrey, are you looking for me?" Susie, who had just accompanied Audrey to class, ran over immediately, habitually wanting to stick out her tongue, but remembered the elegant cat that brought her quite a psychological shadow , After all, the lady kept her mouth shut.

"Susie, do you think there is something wrong with my mental state?" Audrey looked at Susie with some distress. Susie looked at Audrey quietly, then shook her head and said:

"Audrey, I'm just a dog."

"You are not an ordinary dog, you are a spectator! Extraordinary! And you also studied psychology with me!"

Audrey said in an encouraging tone, Susie frowned humanely, and then said helplessly:

"But we have only studied psychology for less than two months."

"Well... it looks like I'm going to trouble Viscount Grelint again, oh poor Grelint... Anne! Help me see when Viscount Grelint's latest ball is?"
