"What are the recent developments of the Spiritual Religion?"
Richard put down the report in his hand, sat on the wooden boxes of supplies stacked in the small square, and asked the cold-faced man sitting next to him.
"Her Majesty the Queen is preparing a raid, with the goal of retaking the town closest to the capital." Garland De, the person in charge of Death Path Sequence 5, replied expressionlessly, "Her Majesty the Queen hopes to purchase more guns, weapons and ammunition in large quantities. , if you have magical items or body armor, feel free to come and negotiate the price, everything is negotiable."
"Does he want to buy in large quantities? It seems that Sia Eggers is doing pretty well recently..."
Richard thought about his inventory and current situation. But since it is very close to the capital of Balam, it should have a certain strategic position, right? I remember the teacher said that directly attacking armed towns is not a good choice. The correct way is to unite surrounding towns and small cities to obtain cover and supplies and achieve the purpose of isolating the armed cities... Alas, "Pale Queen" Still unwilling to learn new strategies, they still choose the simplest and crudest attacks. The strong are often confident in their strength.
But even if it can be defeated, it will cost a lot in the process of attacking and defending the city. However, with the influence of his Eggers family on Bailang, there is a high probability that the surrounding towns will spontaneously support him.
No matter how bad Bailang is, there is still the Pale Queen. The Spiritual Religion still has the right to speak. It is a well-known underground force in the Northern Continent. It was still the Death Church more than ten years ago. On the other hand, the Highland Kingdom, which was directly defeated by the offensive of the northern continent countries, was much better off. The former Church of the Bound God can now only be regarded as a secret organization and is content with the status quo. Most of the rebels in the Highland Kingdom had no choice but to cooperate with the indulgent faction of Si'a, and they are still working tirelessly to regain their homeland... They are really useless, and their influence is really bad.
"Chief, I would rather you call her Her Majesty the Queen." Garland De said in a cold voice, "But this is your freedom."
"I have no good opinion of any royal family, and I am not one of the people of Balam, nor an Extraordinary of the Path of Death, and He also knows it."
"Also, don't be so serious. You don't have to call Him His Majesty. You have already changed jobs. Shia Eggers won't mind such a small problem. This is just an extreme deterrent to the lower levels of the high-sequence in your path." Cha didn't care and smiled, "I remember Traynor wrote to me a few days ago and successfully developed a new type of gun. If Shia Eggers is not in a hurry, just let him wait for a while, maybe There will be some surprises.”
"...Your Excellency the Saint?"
"Yes, he also said that there was probably a person who escaped to the sea during this period a year ago and was kidnapped by the believers of the original moon. He might ask you for help. If you ask for help, you should rescue him and then forge identity documents and settle down. Haha, that might be our first "craftsman"! "

The gloomy underground church has been undergoing renovations recently, and believers who can serve as painters and sculptors have been renovating the church frantically. These include but are not limited to excerpting fragments of the Creator's divine power from the holy scriptures, transcribing precious proverbs and precepts, painting them into magnificent murals, and carving them into statues of gods and wall stone sculptures for people to worship.
In addition, several pieces of glass were added to the underground church, and an extra skylight was opened, so that the sunlight before 12 o'clock can shine through the skylight accurately on the gold and crystal-inlaid halo behind the head of the Creator in the mural in front. Increased investment in art, slowly smearing the glory of the sun god from ancient times in the dark underground church.
The Dark Saint came over from time to time to check the progress of the work, and sighed for a long time at the murals and the giant cross that was still being carved.
It would be great if the Black Saint could see all this... He thought silently. Unlike himself who only became a saint hundreds of years ago, the Black Saint Leomaster once lived in the legendary kingdom of heaven, bathing in the glory of the only creator, the ancient sun god. He also witnessed the betrayal of the gods, the light of the sun was swallowed up by the shadows, and his schizophrenia symptoms became more severe because of the separation.
Leomaster is probably drifting on the channel leading to the sanctuary at the moment. If he can see the sun's rays falling on the earth again, maybe his schizophrenia can be cured.
The Lord’s oracle requires us to move forward as soon as possible. It seems that the Lord also wants to return to the sky as soon as possible and become the sun to guide us again.
The Dark Saint did not stay long. After confirming that the work progress could be exceeded every day, he left happily. As soon as he left the house, Mr. A walked into the fortified church carrying various tools and several buckets of high-grade paint. He put the paint down and saw an additional commission application on the notice board in the enclosed prayer area.
Mr. A restrained himself from looking at the contribution ranking list at the top. He hated it when he saw Mr. Z, who was at the top of the list, and himself, who was just a little bit behind and had to succumb to others. However, Z has now taken leave due to a work injury and is working from home. Mr. A does not need to see his proud face every day.
He gritted his back molars and approached the notice board with a ferocious expression to see if there was any credit to be gained from this new commission.
The letter of authorization posted on it was naturally written by Maria. Mr. Z felt that the starting reward of 500 pounds was very considerable, so he did not choose to arrange for manpower, but directly posted it on the notice board and waited for someone to pick it up himself. And attached a danger level: "Kaping has an official background, and it is very likely that there is more than one extraordinary person hiding in the family." You must have excellent qualities in both concealment and combat before you can accept it. After looking at it for two seconds, Mr. A calmed down, rubbed his chin and started thinking.
This task is not very difficult. I can just catch a stuck person, hide in his body, let him walk around the house, and I will get the route map naturally. But ordinary minions don’t have enough authority. I probably have to capture at least one extraordinary person. This is the difficulty of this commission...
He thought and couldn't help but take another look at the rankings.
Mr. A was furious and tore off the commission: "I'll take it!"
"I don't need help from others! I can do it alone!"

"Maria's commission will put me in danger."
"Maria's commission will put me in danger."
…
Suspended crystal, repeated seven times. In the gray fog world, Klein closed his eyes and saw some blurry pictures in his dream. After a while, I opened my eyes and saw that the citrine was rotating counterclockwise in a medium range, neither fast nor slow. This means that there is some danger in this matter, but it is not serious.
"There is very likely to be more than one Beyonder in Caping's mansion, and the perimeter is tightly defended. This level of danger is normal."
"There was a battle in the scene just now, but there was no obvious spiritual warning, which proves that this is a battle that I can handle smoothly."
Klein pondered for a few seconds: "I can accept this commission. After the Tarot Club is over, I will write a letter to Miss Maria."
Soon, at three o'clock, with the sound of the wall clock still echoing, Audrey appeared in the majestic palace in the crimson illusory light, appearing on the side of the ancient long table.
She smiled, stood up and saluted Mogami. After receiving a gentle nod in response, she greeted her other colleagues respectively, and keenly noticed that "The Sun" seemed a little uneasy.
"What are you worried about?" Audrey asked aloud.
This eliminated the need for Klein, who also noticed that something was wrong with the little "Sun"'s condition, to speak on his own.
Derrick "The Sun" didn't hide anything, and immediately told the story in full about how he had successfully "pretended to be sick" and was sent to the bottom of the round tower for isolation treatment. As he was talking, he suddenly remembered what his current chat partner, the former captain of the exploration team who was imprisoned next door, had said, and blurted out: "Have you heard of Amon?"
Amon? Klein immediately thought of something.
He learned from the angel senior that he was a "stealer" who was said to be very annoying and had a bad taste and was on his way to becoming the King of Angels. But he did not rush to answer, but instead turned his attention to "The Hanged Man". He knew very well that this middle-level member of the Church of Storms also knew about "Amon", and he might know more about the details than he did. Likewise, , "Justice" Audrey also looked at "The Hanged Man". The last time she heard this name, it was from him.
"The Hanged Man" Alger frowned and asked in confusion: "During your exploration of the surrounding areas in Silver City, did you meet a man who called himself Amon? Or did you find similar records?"
"The Sun" Derrick nodded seriously: "Yes, forty-two years ago, an exploration team encountered a man who called himself Amon in the depths of darkness. After returning to Silver City, they went crazy and lost control one after another, leaving only One, locked up at the bottom of the round tower, right next door to me.”
"Maybe, he is also crazy, that's just a conjecture..." "Magician" made a guess based on his rich experience in novel creation.
"The Hanged Man" Alger glanced at Mr. "Fool" at the top and saw that he was calm and calm, so he boldly said: "It is a possibility, but I will not come up with the name 'Amon' without a reason. "
He turned his head and looked at the "sun" and said: "In the fourth era, uh, fifteen hundred years ago in the country we are in, or even longer, there used to be such a family with strange power. They belonged to Tudor. Dynasty, the surname is Amon. Even in that era when there were many high-sequence powerful people, the surname of this family was still a taboo."
"Abraham, Antigonus, Amon, Jacob, and Tamara are the five major families that supported the establishment of the Tudor Dynasty, second only to the Blood Emperor. Among them, the Amon family is the most mysterious and has left the least history. It seems to have been distorted and covered up by some force."
"There is news from the 'King of the Five Seas' Nast that the Amon family is a blasphemer and they hold the secret of stealing the power of the gods!"
steal? Blasphemy? What kind of theft is blasphemous?
Klein's mind wandered for a moment. He heard from the senior angels that Amon was an angel of the "stealer" path. Could it be that a thief at the angel level could even steal the power of a god?
He suddenly became more interested in this unknown adjacent pathway, feeling that it might not just be as unattractive as the lowest-sequence potion name, but that it contained more occult symbolic meanings.
"Also, the Amon family claims to be descendants of the ancient sun god."
Derrick Berg was confused after hearing this. Within the scope of his knowledge of mythology, there was no ancient sun god!
Even among the many ancient gods in the mythology of Silver City, including the Giant King, the Elf King, the Dragon King, and the Destruction Wolf... there is no obvious god who claims to be the "sun"... However, in mythology, the omniscient and omnipotent Lord has once been embodied. With the authority of the "sun", is the Amon family descended from the Lord?
Then why did he leave so suddenly after accepting the invitation, and let the entire team be wiped out, with the only survivor being monitored at the bottom of the tower for forty years? And according to what Mr. "The Hanged Man" said, the Amon family lives outside Silver City. Why do people in their "world" suddenly appear in the Land Abandoned by God? Aren't both sides completely closed? Is there still a road passable?
Derrick's thoughts were running wild for a while, and the "Hanged Man", who had long been concerned about the information about the land abandoned by the gods, would certainly not let go of this opportunity brought up by the other party, and would seize the time to try to find out more information.
However, the exploration captain next to Derrick didn't know much about these things, and Derrick didn't talk about these things with him. After Alger questioned him for a while, all the known information he got could only conclude that "Amon is dangerous." , "The captain of the exploration team is also dangerous." This answer is obvious after a little thought.
There was no knowledge he wanted, no more details about Silver City and Amon.
However, Alger did not feel frustrated. To have such a person from the land abandoned by the gods communicating with him, Mr. Fool's ability was unimaginable, and information and knowledge would be available sooner or later.
But for the little "Sun" who was not experienced enough, these were all the things Derrick thought about but had not connected together. At this time, he suddenly understood and said sincerely:
"Thank you, Mr. Hanged Man!"
"Justice" Audrey resisted the urge to reach out and cover her face, feeling that "The Sun" was simply simpler than herself.
Seeing that everyone's curiosity had been satisfied, she saw that even the gloomy Mr. "World" had slightly adjusted his sitting posture, and "The Sun" seemed to have nothing else to ask for help, so she turned her head and looked at the top of the long bronze table. , smiled slightly and said: "Mr. Fool, I apply for private communication."
Here we go again... Klein was amused for a moment, nodded slightly and said:
"Can."
He immediately blocked the senses of the "Hanged Man" and others instead of isolating himself from Miss Justice. This was mainly because he was worried that others would be bored and communicate at will, thus exposing the truth that "the world" was just a repeater.
…
"On February 23, 1143, it has been more than a week since I traveled to this world. I have to write something and express certain things, otherwise I feel like I will go crazy."
"Hey, I write in simplified Chinese. No one can understand it. The world is full of alphabetic characters!"
"I am Russell Gustave now, but I will never forget my real name."
"Huang Tao!"
…
After the Tarot gathering, Derrick "The Sun" returned to the real world and found himself in that dark and narrow room again.
He sat cautiously, wary of the powerful mysterious items in Silver City. After a few seconds, he didn't notice any abnormal changes, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Remembering that Mr. "The Hanged Man" asked him to talk to the former captain of the exploration team, Derrick came to the corresponding metal wall, bent his fingers, and knocked hard.
Benefit, Benefit.
He completed the code, but there was no response for a long time.
Fell asleep? Or was he taken to the six-member council? It shouldn't have been too long, right? Derrick looked at the matte metal wall and thought doubtfully.
At this time, an old and erratic voice suddenly came from the bed behind him:
"Are you looking for me..."
