Mystery: Big Alarm Clock Ghroth Path

Chapter 18: Aurora Society Membership Mission
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Bonway. I'm 'Mr. C,' the Aurora Society's 'Emissary' in Ahowa County."

At this time, most of the people who came to attend the Beyonder gathering had dispersed, and only a few people were left at the scene.

These voices were unmoved by Mr. C's words, and it was obvious that they had known about it for a long time.

Of course, this also includes Heinz Vincent wearing a fox mask.

"really……"

Roger thought to himself, but appeared a little surprised:

"Aurora Society?"

"You may have heard of our organization's name, and you may have heard some bad rumors about it."

Mr. C chuckled and said, “But that’s all deliberate slander by the so-called Orthodox Church. They only promote things that are great, glorious, and correct, while turning a blind eye to the dark side of historical reality.

"In fact, the history of the major churches contains countless hidden and shameful things. This is the darkness of human nature, and even the world itself. As a wise person, rather than denying it, it is better to understand these truths."

Faced with this long speech, Roger was almost lost in thought... Oh no, lost in thought. He asked in a daze:

"So, how do we seek these truths?"

Seeing this, Mr. C couldn't help but nod in approval, as if he highly recognized Roger's "understanding".

"Of course, it's the true Lord that we, the Aurora Society, believe in. He bore all the sins of the world, just to show us a path to salvation."

"host?"

When Roger heard this title, he immediately thought of the "Secret Prayer" Path Sequence 0 True God who had hung himself in the God-forsaken Land and nagging to his believers, and was nicknamed the "Real Rap Master" by many netizens in his previous life.

Completely unaware of Roger's blasphemous thoughts, Mr. C simply nodded and said to himself:
“Yes, He is the Creator of all things, the Lord behind the veil of shadows, the fallen Self of all living beings.”

"The gods that created everything? The gods that the church preaches..."

Roger showed an expression of disbelief, which was consistent with the reaction of an ordinary Loen citizen who had received a righteous divine education.

Because in the creation myth of the First Age, all gods were transformed from the Creator who awakened from chaos.

In this way, all righteous gods can find the legitimacy of their existence in such stories. For example, the goddess of night widely believed in the Kingdom of Loen is one of the eyes of the original creator.

It has to be said that the teachings of the Aurora Society do have some truth to them. After ordinary people hear the name of the "True Creator", they will easily think of the original Creator, thus causing their faith to waver.

"Yes. He created this world. He is everywhere and exists within every living being.

"Everything has divinity. As long as our spirits are strong enough and can withstand repeated tests, we can accumulate abundant divinity and eventually become angels serving our Lord."

"So, are you willing to embark on this sacred path?"

Roger's eyes were trembling. He tried hard to suppress the urge to laugh by putting on the "Scholar's Ring". He gritted his teeth and remained silent for a while before saying:

"Am I...am I worthy?"

"Of course, as long as you are willing to join us." Mr. C nodded slightly.

"To be honest, listening to what you said today is better than reading a whole ten years of books."

Roger nodded, quoted a classic quote from Emperor Roselle, and added, "I do. I can sense that this is the truth I've been searching for. Mr. C, thank you for telling me today."

In the past period of time, Roger has been repeatedly conveying similar ideas to Heinz Vincent in a targeted manner, so it is not ruled out that Aurora has already observed and reviewed him.

It may seem like today's sermon was just a spontaneous one, but in reality it was just a natural outcome.

Mr. C was quite satisfied. He glanced at Hans Vincent who was pretending to be calm next to him, then took out a beautifully bound black booklet from his robe and handed it to Roger.

"Very good. Here are some myths and related knowledge about my Lord. You can study them.

"Metis, you are a wise young man, but your courage and determination still need to be tested.

"To join the Aurora Society, you need to complete a mission as a test from the organization."

He spoke softly to Roger, even changing his address to a more intimate form, as if the two were partners who had known each other for a long time.

"What mission?" Roger took the booklet and asked.

"It depends on which path of Beyonder you are. I can then arrange a suitable mission for you."

"I am the 'apprentice' of Sequence 9." Roger replied.

In fact, this should be an obvious conclusion, because Roger had previously tried to sell the potion formulas of "Apprentice" and "Master of Magic" successively. As a low-sequence Beyonder, this was most likely his only wealth.

As for why he hadn't advanced to Sequence 8, there were too many possible reasons, such as not being ready yet, not having all the materials, etc.

"Perfect. Recently, the enforcers of Night and Storm destroyed one of our preaching sites. Not only did they brutally imprison those lost lambs who were willing to submit to our Lord, they even stole a precious holy relic. Your mission is to go to the Church of Night's stronghold in Tingen and reclaim it.

"Of course, as a newcomer, I won't let you go alone. The specific time and place will be informed by your companions. You can wait patiently for the next few days."

Mr. C was not surprised at all. His implication was that Roger should use his "door-opening" ability to break through some closed areas and obtain the so-called holy object.

As for what that thing was, Roger initially judged that it should be some kind of magical item, most likely belonging to the "Secret Prayer" path.

On the other hand, considering various details, the preaching point mentioned by the other party is most likely the warehouse at the dock.

"If Mr. C knew that I had even participated in the whistleblowing operation, would he be unable to resist putting me out to pasture right then and there?"

Roger couldn't help but complain in his heart, but he still agreed verbally.

In fact, he also wanted to know the inside story of the dock incident. Roger had a hunch that as long as he participated in this mission, he would be able to follow the clues and uncover more of the truth.

"Well, good luck to you."

After that, Mr. C and several members of the Aurora Society next to him recited some difficult-to-understand prayers in honor of the "True Creator" in unison.

Roger had never learned these things. He just listened quietly, and then said in the tone common to the Orthodox Church:
“Praise be to the great True Creator!”

"Praise the great true Creator!" The people around him seemed to want to encourage Roger's faith, and seemed to be infected by him, and they all said the latter's impromptu praise in unison.

This made Roger feel that he had the potential to become the leader of the Evil God Church...
