Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 1183 Prayer and the New City

Although Klein came in person this time, instead of hiding in the mist of history like Antigonus, Angel and the two "Temperance Faction" quickly left the battlefield after handing over the spoils, returned to Backlund, and stepped into the great prayer hall of Saint Samuel Church before nightfall.

She walked past Bishop Elektra who was talking to the priest in disguise, found an empty seat beside the altar, sat down, bowed her head and prayed to the goddess:

"The Mistress of Eternal Night and Secrets...

"In Vanertek on the southern continent, Antigonus and I successfully stopped the 'Divine Evil' S'ea and the 'Bound God' from attempting to attack that city. We also severely damaged S'ea and stripped away some of his extraordinary characteristics. For quite a long time, he should not be able to cause trouble to the Orthodox Church.

"During this time, I discovered that the 'Bound God' Tolzna seemed to still be resisting the control of the 'Primal Moon'. I want to know if there is any way to help Him and weaken that existence?

"Also, when interrogating a saint from the Hedonistic Faction, I learned that a copy of the Beyonder Characteristics of the 'Goddess of Beauty' might have fallen into their hands...Does this need to be reported to the Church of the Mother Earth?"

As soon as he finished praying, a night sky full of stars but without the crimson moon appeared in front of Angel, and an additional piece of information appeared in his mind.

"Continue to garrison in the southern continent. In addition to dealing with the Rose School, we must also pay attention to the 'Spiritual Cult' and contact the 'Pale Queen' when appropriate... Get the Sequence 1 Sealed Artifact that He has? He does not have the characteristics of containing the Death God Sequence 1, and is just using it as a Sealed Artifact like Bernadette?"

Summarizing this information, Angel looked up in astonishment at the new holy emblem above the altar, which had just been replaced with half of the crimson moon hidden and only the bright stars left.

The "Pale Queen" Shia Palenque Eggers was only a Sequence 2, and using the characteristics of the "Pale Emperor" to strengthen herself and disguise herself as a Sequence 1 did not surprise Angel. After all, the "God of Death" Salinger had been plotting to revive, and if Shia, who had the blood of the Eggers family, tried to advance, it would likely end up with a tragic ending where Salinger would revive in her body.

Now that the Goddess is trying to accommodate the "God of Death" path, she must eliminate all possibilities of Salinger's resurrection. It is all part of Her plan to fix Mr. Azik at Sequence 2 and take back the Sequence 1 characteristics from the "Pale Queen".

At the same time, Angel noticed that the goddess did not mention anything about the "Shadow of the Goddess of Beauty".

"Perhaps He is going to tell the Mother Goddess personally. After all, from the perspective of the 'divine vein', the two of you can be considered 'best friends' who have been together since the Second Epoch..."

Angel muttered silently, and just as he was about to get up and leave, he found a shadow covering him.

Bishop Elektra came to her at some point, pointed at the stars on his chest, and said softly:
“Ma’am, you look unfamiliar to me. Is this your first time visiting the Goddess’ church?

"If you are willing to take a moment, I can tell you about the goddess's teachings."

Angel smiled and pulled ten pounds out of his pocket.

----

After receiving a young lady who donated ten pounds, Father Utravsky, who was as tall as a mountain, turned around and looked at Emlyn White, who had not yet had time to change his clothes.

"I had a dream last night. I dreamed of the First Ancestor... He asked me to go to the southern continent to deal with those members of the Rose School who believe in the 'Original Moon.'" Emlyn whispered, "I want to know whether this is a revelation from God or an attempt by those evil beings to mislead and corrupt me."

In the order of the Church of Mother Earth, "Moon" path extraordinary people like Emlyn belong to the category of God's Favored Ones, the ones who are easily tempted by evil. Any inspiration and divine revelation they receive must be confirmed with the nearest "God's Favored One".

Just in his dream last night, he received a revelation from the ancestor hidden in the red moon, asking him to gather some vampires, and go to the southern continent with Father Utravsky and the members of the "Temperance Faction" who had cooperated with him once before to wipe out those original moon believers.

Emlyn, who had learned from the analysis of the "Queen" lady of the Tarot Club that he would soon be reused, was excited about his identity as the "savior", but also worried that the dream might be false, so he came to the Harvest Church early this morning to find the "God-favored" Utravsky for confirmation.

The latter nodded and said in a loud voice:
"Indeed, the Mother Goddess asked us to go to the southern continent to bury those evildoers."

So... it seems that the First Ancestor, no, the Mother Goddess still values ​​me... But why did the First Ancestor suddenly ask us to go to the Southern Continent? Has there been any change in the battle between the Orthodox Sect and the followers of the "Original Moon"? Ask at the Tarot Club next week... Emlyn was excited for a while, but forced himself to calm down, raised his chin reservedly and calmly, and said:
"Don't worry, I'll contact the members of the Temperance Faction first."

He remembered that Maric, who liked to play cards with the zombies he controlled, was still in the original bar, but unfortunately Sharon, who looked like a puppet, had disappeared recently.

Could it be that as a demigod, she has already gone to the battlefield in the southern continent? Emlyn pondered.

----

On the route between the Southern Continent and Bayam, the "Redhead" was sailing through the waves and moving forward quickly.

After standing on the deck for a while and enjoying the salty sea breeze, the red-haired Elaine Soren returned to the captain's room, took off her coat, revealing a tight women's shirt that highlighted her figure.

After taking a quick look at the chart and the compass, she used her Hunter's sensitivity to calculate the current location of the ship, knowing that it would take only a few hours to return to the transit port between Bayam and the southern continent, the "City of Dreams" Patis. "Unfortunately, I thought I could use the opportunity to digest my "despair" potion during the Orthodox Church's suppression of the "Original Moon" believers, but I didn't expect Miss Angelica to ask me to return to Patis as soon as possible to replace Triss to maintain the normal operation of the church for a while... Is she asking me to preach and preside over mass?"

She stood in front of the map, her eyes fixed on a black dot representing a small island in the depths of the turbulent sea, and talked to herself.

As one of the "hunters" of the Soran family, now the "Despair" Witch, she was supposed to lead her team to hunt down cultists in the primitive jungles of the southern continent, train the team to prepare for the next step of promotion while digesting her own potions, but the sudden leave of absence of Archbishop Triss of the "Church of Saint Angelica" ruined all her plans.

"Why would she go back to Backlund? Although the wanted order for her has been cancelled, many bounty hunters may not be so well-informed and may still target her. Although those people will not pose a threat to a saint, it will still cause chaos... Could it be that she is still obsessed with the prince she had an affair with, no, the man who is now His Majesty the King?"

With a secret laugh, Elaine was about to catch up on some sleep in the last few hours before docking when she suddenly heard a series of alarm bells ringing from the lookout on the deck.

"There's a pirate ship approaching!"

Pirate ship...who dares?
Elaine pushed open the door and came to the deck. She walked through the sailors who were constantly pouring out of the cabin and running to their combat posts, and came to the side, looking into the distance in the direction pointed by the lookout.

A three-masted sailing ship, completely black with a black skull painted on its white sails, was approaching at a speed far exceeding that of a steamship.

"Is that... the Black Death? I remember it sank, twice!"

A sailor muttered beside Elaine, his expression shocked.

The Black Death... Could it be Tracy? Didn't she have enough "fun" last time?

Elaine pursed her lips, various thoughts kept pouring out of her mind, but she shouted:
"Prepare to engage the enemy!"

This time, she wants to catch him alive!

New Silver City, the "Seven-Person Council" meeting room.

When Derrick Berg walked into the hall, most of the elders had not arrived yet. The only people in the room were Lovia Tiffany, who was wearing a cloak and hiding her body in the shadows, and White Hillmon, who was looking down and reading a newspaper.

He greeted the two elders, found his seat and sat down, waiting quietly for the weekly meeting to begin.

Unlike the habit of convening the elders to discuss and vote only on major matters in the God-Forsaken Land, the New Silver City had just been completed and there were too many major matters that needed to be discussed and decided. At the suggestion of the newly promoted elder Derrick, the meeting had been changed to a fixed time every week. All the elders would summarize the matters they were responsible for, discuss them here, and vote on important issues that required collective decision-making.

It's similar to the Tarot Club, except that Mr. Fool isn't watching us... No, there are many of Mr. Fool's followers here, so maybe He will really look at us... Derrick thought with some pride, looking at Lovia beside him, and asked curiously:

"Elder Luo Weiya, have you been to the Northern Continent recently?"

"Just call me by my name. You are now a member of the council, Derrick."

The lady, who had outstanding looks and delicate skin but always gave people a gloomy feeling, spoke softly and nodded immediately.

"Yes, I went to the Kingdom of Loen and met with several envoys of the Aurora Society."

Isn't that a cult... Derrick was stunned for a moment, then he remembered that the people in front of him were believers of the "True Creator" just like those crazy people in the "Aurora Society". He swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his mouth and asked:
"They didn't do anything...extreme, did they?"

"The Lord's responses to prayers have become clearer and more frequent. He is restraining those believers who have acted irrationally in the past," Lovia glanced at Derrick and replied, "They are preparing to strike at the evil sects that have recently emerged, and will continue to promote the name of the 'Aurora Society.'"

Fighting against cults? What is this, dog-eat-dog? However, the Tarot Club has recently been discussing the crackdown on the followers of the "Original Moon" in the Southern Continent. Could the change in the Aurora Club's attitude be related to this?
Derrick still had a lot of questions, but when he saw New Silver City's chief Colin Iliad walk into the conference room, he didn't open his mouth to ask any more questions.

But when he turned his eyes to the other side, he noticed the newspaper that Elder White had placed on the table and noticed a piece of news on it:
"Shocked, a new city was built outside Patis overnight. Is this a magic show or a miracle from the gods?"

Patis is the city called the "City of Dreams" and protected by the Queen. Does the New City refer to our New Silver City?

Derrick moved closer and read the short news carefully, only to find that he had guessed wrong.

There is actually a city on this island?
