Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery.

Chapter 316: 20 Angel Families (Today's Updates)

Seeing that the "world" was ready to accept the assassination mission he proposed, the "magician" Fors introduced the situation of Louis Wayne, the traitor of the Abraham family, in detail.

She said, "He can record the extraordinary abilities used by others and use them once. He is good at escaping from traps and is difficult to be surrounded. He may also be able to travel through spiritual realms."

Then she looked at the "world", waiting for its response.

After careful consideration, Klein the Fool manipulated the World to say to Fors, "I can consider taking over, but not immediately. At least in two months."

"Two months later." Fors hesitated, wondering whether to ask the Hermit if he had time.

Because of their experience exploring the ruins together, Fors had great confidence in the Hermit's abilities. However, the Hermit was clearly not very interested in this assassination, and she didn't seem to have the conditions to impress him.

At this moment, the Hanged Man, Alger, who was watching, interjected thoughtfully, "Ms. Magician, do you have to kill that Aurora Society messenger with your own hands?"

Fors smiled and said, "No, you see, I'm even considering asking Mr. World for help."

Alger nodded and said, "The prerequisite for killing someone is to find that divine messenger. Can you find him?"

"No, but I will investigate," Fors answered frankly.

Alger chuckled and said, "If you can find out the whereabouts of that Aurora Society envoy, and you don't have to kill him yourself, why don't you just report his whereabouts to the church?"

He spread his hands and said, "After the smog incident, no church is willing to let go of this kind of clue."

Klein was somewhat stunned. "Report it to the church?" That sounded familiar.

He then felt relieved: Haha, everyone has been influenced by me.

"Report?" Fors was also stunned.

Alger smiled and continued, "We can do this. You investigate the target first. Once you have a clue, if the 'world' has time, you can ask for help. If they don't have time, you can consider handing it over to the church. What do you think?"

Fors considered it carefully and said, "Okay, I'll discuss the compensation with Mr. World later."

After gaining recognition from the "world", the matter was finalized.

Odysseus, the Hermit, then initiated a second transaction: "Who among you needs the 'true root of the Mist Tree Man'?"

This is an extraordinary material obtained when exploring the island with the ancient Sun God Temple.

At that time, a total of two Sequence 7 level extraordinary creatures were hunted, one of which was the "Dawn Rooster", and its red crown was one of the main ingredients of the "Sun Priest".

Today, Odysseus has been thinking about the issue of open source. He searched in the "Knowledge Wilderness" and found that he had no use for these two main materials, so he might as well exchange them for gold pounds.

"The Red Crown of the Dawn Rooster" has been sold to "Lieutenant General Iceberg" for 620 pounds.

"The true rhizome of the Misty Treeman" is one of the main ingredients of the "Magician" potion. No buyer has been found yet, so Odysseus came to the Tarot Club to issue a commission.

"580 pounds." Priestess Cattleya said, "You can also ask me to handle it for you. I'll take 5% of the commission, but it may take two or three weeks to sell it."

"Then let's make the deal now," Odysseus said. "Just 580 pounds."

Just as Audrey, the Justice, was about to raise her hand slightly to state her needs, Cattleya spoke up first, saying, "I have a way to get the Black Hunting Monitor Lizard's spinal cord, but it will take two or three weeks, and the price is between £1500 and £2000. That's not for me to decide."

The two people had reached an agreement on the deal before, but nothing happened after that.

Cattleya continued, "I'll help you find out about the 'Psychedelic Wind Chime Fruit,' but I can't guarantee any information."

Audrey was stunned for a moment before reacting. "What a high efficiency! I haven't even repeated my request yet." After being punished, the "priestess" seemed to have a stronger sense of belonging to our Tarot Club and was even more enthusiastic about participating in transactions.

After a few seconds of silence, she responded: "No problem."

Alger, who was watching from the sidelines, suddenly felt that things were developing differently than he had expected. The "priestess" who had been scolded and punished by Mr. Fool had changed her previous style of mainly observing and inquiring, and was deeply involved in every possible matter within the Tarot Club.

This gave Alger a strong sense of crisis. After all, the "Priestess" possessed the strength and connections of the "Pirate General", which he could not currently match.

Klein the Fool was also somewhat surprised. "I thought the Priestess would be depressed for a while. Could she be the type who won't obey unless spanked? Well, spanking is essential for educating children. The Queen simply doesn't spank her enough... Haha, the Queen's style isn't great either. The Emperor doesn't spank her enough either."

While complaining in his mind, Klein manipulated the "world" and looked around. "Does anyone have the formula or clue for the Sequence 4 potion of the Fortune Teller Path?"

Emlyn, the Moon, was surprised: "The World is also Sequence 5?"
Fors was also somewhat surprised: Mr. World's demands had suddenly made the Tarot Club so high-end.

Alger smiled bitterly again, and could only sigh silently in his heart: As expected of Mr. Fool's favored one.

Odysseus said: "As for clues, we can consider starting with the Zaratul family and the Antigonus family.

"Most members of the Zaratul family now live in the Intis Republic. I do know a member of the Antigonus family, but she probably doesn't have the ability to obtain demigod-level potion formulas."

He was talking about the crew member Noy. According to Odysseus's observation, Noy was either a marginal member of the Antigonus family, or the family had completely declined, with family members scattered all over the place and having no connection with each other.

Odysseus continued, "The third clue is the Church of the Evernight Goddess. I do have some cooperation with the Church of Evernight, but not to the extent that I can purchase demigod-level potion formulas from them."

Finally he said, "You'll have to figure this out yourself."

Cattleya on the other side was stunned for a moment: This guy is cooperating with the Church of Evernight? I...

She knew very well that the "Mysterious Queen" trusted him very much. She had also heard some time ago that Admiral Amyrius met with Odysseus on the island of Dillinus, and that the Loen Navy seemed to have a secret cooperation with him.

Now that she knew this guy was collaborating with the Church of Evernight, Cattleya thought of a profession in the big city: socialite.

After hearing this, Klein once again strengthened his resolve to return to Backlund and attempt to steal the "Antigonus Family Notes."

His previous divinations for clues to the potion formula all pointed to the Hornachis Mountains and the Church of Saint Samuel in Backlund.

Because of his previous intelligence exchange with the Hermit, Klein knew that the Honachis Mountains corresponded to the Antigonus family. After all, Antigonus had once established a country here.

The Church of Saint Samuel should correspond to the "Antigonus Family Notes". After all, he was the one who found this seal, and he also knew that the "Nighthawk" brought this seal to the Church of Saint Samuel.

So among the clues given by the Hermit, Klein felt that the route through St. Samuel's Church was the most feasible.

Klein then manipulated the World to thank the Hermit: "Thank you for your tip."

Odysseus smiled and said it was nothing.

The hall fell silent for a few seconds before the "priestess" Cattleya spoke up, "I need a drop of blood from a mythical creature. Any mythical creature will do."

The magnificent palace fell silent again, because no one had such a channel, not even The Fool at this moment.

After considering it for a while, Odysseus gave up the idea of purchasing it together with Cattleya, and decided to wait until Klein and Cattleya reached a deal before proposing a deal.

By then, it would just be one drop of the mythical creature's blood becoming two drops.

After a while, Klein, who couldn't even define the concept of a mythical creature, manipulated the "world" and said, "I'll keep an eye on it for you."

No one else responded because they simply didn't have the corresponding channels.

"Okay." Cattleya was not surprised by what happened.

The only reason she asked for the purchase was to show Mr. Fool her willingness to integrate into the Tarot Club.

After a brief pause, Derrick, the Sun, was about to speak again, but Emlyn, the Moon, beat him to the punch. He said with a smile, "Our needs are very clear. The Sun wants the formula for the Sequence 6 Notary, and Mr. Hanged Man wants the formula for the Sea Singer."

Hearing Moon's words, Klein suddenly felt ashamed. When he first obtained Creeping Hunger, he was still thinking about releasing the soul of the Priest of Light as soon as possible and obtaining the Sequence 6 and Sequence 5 potion formulas of the Sun Path from him.

As a result, because the ability of the "Priest of Light" was so useful, he never gave up that soul.

At this moment, Klein made up his mind to release the soul as soon as possible, so he said to "Little Sun": "Within three days, I will provide the formula for the 'Notary' potion."

Having said that, he looked at Little Sun and said, "You can consider what items to exchange."

Derrick responded happily, "Yes, Mr. World."

As for the "Ocean Songster" potion that the "Hanged Man" needs, no one has any clues either.

Moon Emlyn cleared his throat and said, "My needs are different from last time.

"I want you to help me find these 'Original Moon' believers. I will pay 100 pounds for every valid clue, and 500 pounds for direct targeting."

This is an open competition within the blood clan. The one who wins in the end can get the ring worn by the "ancestor".

Fors sat up straight immediately. It wasn't that she was particularly interested in this commission, but finding people was Xio's forte.

With the repeated convening of the "Mystic Research Society", Xio has completely integrated into the role of "leader" and can now provide many valuable clues to "MI9" and the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery.

The key point is that most of the time, she can get rewards from both MI9 and the Church of Steam for a piece of useful intelligence, which makes Xio quickly rich. The two of them also moved their residence to a townhouse and hired a maid.

Because of this, Hugh obtained the potion formula of Sequence 7 "Interrogator" from "MI", and last week last week, "Captain Gall" stated in a letter to Hugh that he would provide Hugh with the characteristics of "Interrogator" and asked her to purchase the auxiliary materials first.

At this time, Xio's informants, as well as the informants of the "Occult Research Society" members, were almost everywhere in Backlund, and the commission to find someone would soon yield results.

Emlyn first made a request to The Fool and received permission. He then materialized five portraits and brief descriptions, one for each member except himself and The Sun.

Fors immediately memorized it carefully, preparing to use the ritual to draw the portrait after returning, and write down the corresponding description from memory, and then hand them all over to Xio.

Emlyn then said to the Hermit, "Mr. Hermit, I would like to trade information about the Angel Family with you."

He now likes to "resell" information more and more. The not-so-important information traded by the Tarot Club can also be sold for a good price among the vampires.

Emlyn also became rich because of this. In order to win the competition this time, Emlyn has prepared 2500 pounds as funds to obtain intelligence.

He accumulated all this money through trading intelligence. Three or four months ago, he couldn't even imagine that he could make such a large sum of money.

However, he was also very careful and tried not to attract the attention of his fellow tribesmen.

For this reason, Emlyn even specifically consulted Mr. "The Hanged Man" to see if this would alert the higher-ups of the vampire clan.

Mr. Hanged Man also enthusiastically helped him with advice and told him: "In the eyes of your vampire clan's upper echelons, your problem should be quite obvious.

"So you don't need to be too conservative. Instead, you should reveal some valuable intelligence. This will further dissuade the vampire leaders from using radical means to deal with your problem."

As a result, Emlyn gradually became more confident and bold in trading with the vampires, and now he is almost becoming an expert in the history of Quaternary occultism.

Just a few days ago, a vampire who was studying the history of the Quaternary asked him questions about the Zaratul family.

This made him suddenly realize that he was missing a key part of his knowledge about the history of the Fourth Epoch and the Angel Family, so he promised the other party that he would use his own channels to help him gain the corresponding understanding.

The vampire directly offered a price of 1000 pounds, hoping to get an answer to his question.

This was equivalent to paying Emlyn's £1000 report fee. Before attending the Tarot Club, he decided to simply trade all the information related to the Angel Family. If it was too expensive, he would trade separately; if it was not expensive, he would trade it all at once.

Odysseus smiled and said, "Yes, well, if Justice, Magician, Priestess and the World were to make such a deal, it would only cost 2000 pounds.

"Because before this, they had already traded with me separately for information on the three angel families: Zaratul, Antigonus, and Abraham.

"The Antigonus and Abraham families hold many secrets, so if you initiate such a deal, you'll need to pay 1000 pounds first. You can then try to split the remaining 2000 pounds with other members willing to join the deal."

Emlyn immediately said, "No problem."

It just so happens that the 1000 pounds from the vampire expert can fill this hole, and the overall price of 2000 pounds is not very expensive.

When the "World" inquired about the corresponding transaction before, Odysseus's asking price was 4000 pounds, but he had already earned 3000 pounds by trading intelligence on families such as Antigonus.

In Odysseus's opinion, most of the value of the Angel Family lies in the intelligence of Antigonus and the Abraham Family.

Another equally important piece of information is the Amon family, but in an earlier transaction, Amon's information had already been traded with everyone in advance.

As for the rest of the families, either Odysseus knew limited information or most of the information was not of much value. If they were sold as a bundle, the price of 2000 pounds would be good for Odysseus.

After all, Odysseus was very satisfied that he sold the information for 4000 pounds instead of the 6000 pounds he had originally intended to trade.

So Emlyn officially initiated the transaction. "The Hanged Man" Alger and "Little Sun" Derrick, like before, did not participate in this transaction.

The former knew a lot of information about the Angel Families and felt that there was not much need for transactions now, while the latter felt that those Angel Families were of no use to Silver City and therefore did not intend to participate in the transactions.

Cattleya had already accumulated some intelligence on this matter, but after a little consideration, she decided to spend 300 pounds to join the transaction.

300 is not a big expense for her, but being able to listen to Odysseus's analysis of the Angel Family is also a good deal for her.

Klein originally planned to "get something for free," but thinking about his last free experience, he found it difficult to ask questions when he encountered problems, which made him very uncomfortable.

So this time he also spent 300 pounds to join the transaction. After all, after going to sea, he became relatively wealthy and there was no need to save money in such a place.

Audrey and Fors also joined the deal, and they eventually agreed that "Moon" would contribute 800 pounds, and the other members would each contribute 300 pounds.

Adding the £1000 that Moon needed to pay, Emlyn would have to contribute £1800 on his own. Emlyn readily agreed to this allocation, as the information on the Angel Family could generally be traded, yielding a quick return.

This made Emlyn sigh. Among the vampires, this was already considered a very high-level transaction. However, the information transaction about the angel level was a relatively low-end transaction in the Tarot Club.

After the price was agreed upon, the senses of Alger and Derrick were blocked, and then the transaction began.

Odysseus said, "First of all, I have to state that I only have fragmentary information about many angel families. I will tell you as much as I know."

Everyone nodded in understanding. After all, there were so many angel families, and it was impossible to know all the information about them.

Odysseus continued, "Let's sort out the Angel Family according to the four empires during the Fourth Epoch.

“First is the Solomon Empire. As we said before, the Second Solomon Empire only has the support of two angel families, the Zoroast Family and the Zarathus Family.

"The Zoroast family is an angel family that controls the Path of the Thief. The ancestor of this family died in a battle between angels at the beginning of the Fourth Age.

"However, I learned an important piece of information. Zoroastrian's ancestors had a good relationship with the "Black Emperor" Solomon. Solomon took action to protect the family's Sequence 1 characteristics and passed it on to the descendants of Zoroastrian's ancestors.

"This is the second-generation patriarch of the Zoroast family. I believe he later insisted on supporting the Second Solomon Empire, not only to avoid Amon, but also because the Zoroast family did have a personal relationship with Solomon."

Upon hearing this, Cattleya nodded slowly. She only learned about the personal relationship between the Zoroast family and Solomon during this transaction.

Before, she had always thought that the reason why the Zaratul family and the Zoroaster family supported Solomon was because one was fighting against the Antigonus family and the other was fighting against the Amon family.

I didn’t expect that there was such a connection between the angel families.

Odysseus continued, "Because the Solomon Empire was the loser in the 'War of the Four Emperors,' there are relatively few records of it. I only know of some major events within the Zoroaster and Zaratul families.

"After the fall of the Solomon Empire, members of the Zoroastrian family have been hunted by Amon. Even the second generation of Zoroastrians has been hiding everywhere, and there has been no news about him for a long time.

“But what is certain is that He is still alive.

"As for the members of this family, it is said that they live in a dispersed manner in order to avoid being caught by Amon in one fell swoop."

Behind the gray fog, Klein thought to himself: I do know where the patriarch of the Zoroast family is. Who would have thought that he would actually "parasitize" on the body of a "Red Glove" and enjoy the protection of the Church of Evernight.

This was information he obtained through the "Arrodes Magic Mirror" when he asked who the parasite in Leonard's body was.

After getting the answer, he did not reveal the news to anyone. In his opinion, it was normal for the "hermit" not to know about this matter.

Then Odysseus talked about the Zaratul family. When he mentioned that little Zaratul had gone from the Fourth Age to the Second Age for unknown reasons, "Moon" Emlyn was also very surprised and found it very magical.

"The Medici family should also be considered part of the Solomon Empire," Odysseus said, "because they secretly serve the True Creator.

"We've talked about this family before. It seems they were contaminated in Bansi Harbor. Everyone knows what happened afterwards. The Church of Storms wiped out that port. I estimate that a large number of Medici members died in that attack."

Only then did Cattleya realize that the Storm Church's sudden attack on Bansi Harbor was because it was trying to eliminate the contaminated members of the Angel Family!

She joined the Tarot Club after the destruction of Bansi Harbor, so she didn't know about the Medici family.

"During the incident at Bansy Harbor, one thing caught my attention," Odysseus said. "The evil god there is called the 'Weather God,' and as far as I know, the Sequence 2 of the 'Hunter' pathway is called the 'Weather Warlock.'

“I’ve mentioned this speculation before. The angel of the Medici family may have escaped or gone into hiding.

"After all, unless the Lord of Storms takes action personally, it would be difficult to kill an angel."

Cattleya took a deep breath and felt that this deal was worth it. Otherwise, she would never have imagined that behind the destruction of Bansi Port, there was an angel-level battle.

The other members already knew about this matter and were not surprised. They just thought: This is the angel family. There is still an angel so far.

Odysseus continued, "Also, the Solomon family is also an angel family, or you can call it the 'True God Family'.

"I learned from some sources that Nast, the 'King of the Five Seas,' is a descendant of the Solomon family. Emperor Roselle was impressed by his and his father's bloodlines and conferred the title on Snart's father. Later, the title was inherited by Snart."

Cattleya, who had been active at sea, was stunned for a moment. She had heard of such rumors, but did not take them too seriously, because many pirates would "find" a good background for themselves.

Then she thought: The Queen must know about this matter, I can ask her about it when I write to her.

Audrey and Fors had never imagined that the "Pirate King" actually had royal blood. It sounded a bit like a plot in a novel.

"There is another family that must be counted within the Solomon Empire," Odysseus said. "That's the Stiano family we mentioned earlier."

Cattleya was slightly stunned: The family of the God of Steam is also the family of Odysseus's messenger.

The other members also knew this information before, and they listened attentively at this time. After all, this family might have some information about the gods.

Odysseus continued, "As far as I know, there are two angels in the Stiano family. They were both once members of the Ten Pillars of the Moss Ascetic Order."

Cattleya almost stood up: The family of the "God of Steam" actually originated from the "Moss Ascetic Order", and the angels in this family are high-level members of the "Ascetic Order"!

As the backbone of the "Moss Ascetic Order," Cattleya was of course well aware of the relevant information about the "Ten Pillars." She also knew that one of the "Pillars" had just died in Backlund. Currently, the "Moss Ascetic Order" only had nine "Pillars."

Then Cattleya took a deep breath. Although the information was shocking, she still chose to believe the "Hermit" because she knew very well that one of the angels of the Stiano family was the messenger of Odysseus, and the information about this family could not be wrong.

Klein was also a little surprised: The identity of the "God of Steam" is very complicated!

Fors thought to himself: Now I don’t even dare to listen to stories about the origins of the gods, because they always end up bringing up some shocking historical events!

Emlyn the Moon said simply, "Then...what is the relationship between the 'God of Steam' and the 'Hidden Sage'?"

I feel like there must be some unknown past between them.

"I'm not sure." Odysseus said, "But I heard that in the middle and late Fourth Epoch, the 'Steam God' was forced to ascend to true god status due to pressure from the 'Hidden Sage' without properly digesting the Sequence 1 potion.

"So by the Fifth Epoch, the Church of Steam, formerly the Church of the Craftsmen, was also the weakest of the Orthodox Churches, because the state of their gods was not very good."

Emlyn nodded: "So that's how it is."

In that case, the relationship between the two people... no, the two gods must not be very harmonious, otherwise one would not be forced to be promoted under the pressure of the other.

Klein was keenly aware that the "God of Steam" was only promoted in the middle and late Fourth Epoch due to the pressure from the "Hidden Sage." In other words, he didn't have such pressure before?
Then he thought: Russell's diary mentioned that the "Hidden Sage" was the only existence that activated the "Hermit" path. Could it be that the "Hermit" uniqueness was activated in the middle and late stages of the Quaternary Epoch? This is why the "Steam God" felt pressured and was forced to advance early? But...but this didn't match the "Moss Ascetic Order."

Because Klein learned from other channels that the "Moss Ascetic Order" was an organization that existed in the Third Age. It was an organization closely related to the "Hidden Sage". He always thought that this was an organization established by the "Hidden Sage".

At this moment, it suddenly occurred to him: Could it be that the "Moss Ascetic Order" came first, and then the "Hidden Sage" came into being?
Cattleya had heard rumors about this matter before, so she wasn't too surprised by this information.

Because Audrey and Fors didn't have as much knowledge, they simply thought it was an "interesting historical event" and didn't have as many associations as Klein.

"You all know what happened next," Odysseus said. "The Stiano family became the Church of Steam, and the last of the seven true gods ascended to the throne."

Then he continued, "After talking about the angel family of the Solomon Empire, let's talk about the family of the Tudor Empire."

Cattleya was slightly stunned: "The Hermit" did not disclose the process of the "God of Steam" killing her sister and ascending to the throne of God?
Then she thought: "That's right. After all, it's just a 2000-pound deal. Being able to sort out the various angel families is already very good. There's no need to disclose such divine-level information." And the less said about such divine-level secrets, the better.

Odysseus continued, “We have mentioned the Tudor family’s angel families many times before, including the Abraham family, the Amon family, the Antigonus family, the Jacob family, and the Tamara family.

“We have mentioned the Amon family, the Jacob family, and the Tamara family more than once in previous transactions.

"Now I'm going to focus on telling Moon about the Abraham family and the Antigonus family..."

In the subsequent description, "Moon" Emlyn finally understood why the "Hermit" asked him to pay the extra 1000 pounds. He had never expected Abraham to be so powerful, and to be only one step away from becoming a true God. He had never expected that He was actually sealed by the "Goddess of Night" and the "Lord of Storms".

As for Antigonus, he surprised Emlyn even more. He had never thought that "He" was actually a demon wolf! He had never thought that the legendary "Kingdom of Night" was founded by a demon wolf, and that the "Mother of Heaven" was also a demon wolf.

Finally, Emlyn rubbed his hands together: "The Goddess of Night is actually also a demon wolf... This...

He now completely no longer believed things like "vampires are the oldest and longest-lasting race."

Odysseus concluded by saying, "Let me talk about the descendants of several angel families in the Tudor Empire. There seem to be quite a few descendants of the Abraham family, but because of their family curse, they don't have any very powerful Beyonders. However, they do have many powerful Sealed Objects, and their strength among the angel families is still quite strong."

Fors, who had the most say, nodded slowly. Based on her observations, the Abraham family's wealth was still very substantial. For example, Teacher Dorian rewarded his students with a magical item comparable to Sequence 6.

"There should be some descendants of the Antigonus family still alive." Odysseus said, "But they are just as mysterious as the Zaratul family, even more mysterious than the members of the Zaratul family.

“After all, I’ve heard that many members of the Zaratul family live in the Intis Republic, but I haven’t heard of any gathering places for members of the Antigonus family.

“There’s no need to talk about the Amon family. All the members of this family are Amon’s clones. It is said that Amon has many clones active in the northern and southern continents. Fortunately, I haven’t encountered any yet.

“The Jacob family has said before that most of its members have been parasitized by Amon, but it is said that some members of this family are still in hiding.

"To avoid being tracked by Amon, they must have hidden deeper than the Zoroast family. This is because Amon once replaced the ancestor of the Jacob family for a period of time, so it is very likely that they can be found through the Jacob family's bloodline."

Everyone was stunned. Klein sighed in his heart: Beware of fire, theft, and Amon!
Audrey also felt that Amon was a unique god, or rather, his abilities were very unique.

"The Tamara family seems to be doing well," Odysseus said, "It is said that there is an angel and a demigod-level member.

“But according to what I’ve learned, this family seems to have been contaminated by some unknown factor, and now we only hear about their situation occasionally.

“Finally, there’s the Tudor family. This family has either declined or is hiding very well, because I’ve heard very little information about this family.

“I only heard a long time ago that some members of this family changed their surnames and returned to people’s sight.

"I'm not very clear about the specific situation."

Klein thought to himself, "I do know about this. A branch of the Tudor family changed their surname to Pound and returned to Backlund. They were once made earl for their military exploits, but now they only have the title of baron."

"Next is the Angel Family of the Trunsost Empire." Odysseus said: "The ruling families of the four major countries in the Northern Continent, or those that have been in power, are the Angel Family that once supported the Trunsost Empire.

"They divided up the fruits of victory in the Four Emperors' War and used the political power they established to consolidate their extraordinary status.

"The one that everyone is most familiar with is probably the Augustus family. It's said that this family has two angels: a Sequence 1 and a Sequence 2.

“The Castilla family of the Feynaport Kingdom has the same strength as the Augustus family.

"The Einhorn family of the Feysac Empire should have two angels, but their exact sequence is unclear.

“The only one that has declined now is the former royal family of the Kingdom of Intis, the Soran family. At least on the surface, they no longer have any angel-level existence.

“It is said that it was because of the problems with the angels of this family that Emperor Roselle was able to overthrow the regime of this country.

"If they had two normal angels, even if Russell overthrew the rule of this family, he would definitely make proper arrangements for this family and use sufficient political resources to buy them off.

"After all, for a country, angels are strategic beings and cannot be wasted easily.

"As for the Trunsoest family, as I mentioned before, we rarely hear news about them now."

Klein, who had returned from the gray fog, also agreed with this view. He also wrote in Russell's diary that, despite having the church's support, he was also very cautious in the process of gaining power because the Sauron family put considerable pressure on him.

Odysseus continued, "In the southern continent, there is also the Eggers family, the family of the 'Underworld Emperor'.

"This family once ruled the entire Southern Continent. After the fall of the 'Underworld Emperor', the family's power was greatly weakened. Many opposing forces emerged in the Southern Continent and quickly divided up the Balam Empire.

"Of course, it is said that this result is due to a major disagreement between the Church of the God of Death and the Eggers family."

Audrey, the Justice, couldn't help but ask, "The Church of Death?"

"Yes." Odysseus said, "According to some information I have learned, the Balam Empire is probably a 'theocratic' regime, with the Church of Death and the Archon of Death.

"But both the 'God of Death' and the 'King of Hades' are Salinger alone. After his death, the two power structures, the Church of the God of Death and the Archon of Death, seem to have disagreements on how to clean up the mess."

Klein and the others listened attentively, as they rarely heard anyone discuss the Balam Empire in such depth.

Odysseus continued, "This disagreement has persisted to this day. After the Church of the God of Death and the Archon of Death successively lost their control over most of the southern continent, they were collectively referred to as the 'Spiritual Cult.'

"Members of the 'Spiritual Cult', mainly those from the Church of the God of Death, have been trying to resurrect the 'God of Death'.

"The Death Archon faction intends to cultivate a new 'Underworld Emperor'. Currently, a Sequence 1 Angel has emerged from the Eggers family.

"This angel must have appeared after the Highland Kingdom, the Pers Kingdom, and other regimes divided up the Balam Empire. Otherwise, if there was still a Sequence 1 in the Spirit Cult, the Balam Empire could still control a large area of the southern continent.

"These two key components of the 'Spiritual Cult' not only refuse to cooperate, but their ideologies clash and lead to internal conflict. This was a major factor in the Balam Empire's demise."

Everyone nodded slowly when they heard this. They had all heard about the conflicts within the "Spiritual Cult", but they didn't expect there was such a history.

Odysseus paused and continued, “Finally, there are three demon angel families, namely the North family, the Andrellad family, and the Belia family.

"I heard that only the North family still has angels. The other two families have been declining for more than a thousand years and have gradually become dependent on the North family."

Klein nodded slowly: The "Apostle of Desire" I met in Backlund before was a member of the Belia family.
