A man among dragons, building a mysterious ancient church.

Chapter 139 New Member, Rumors of Love-Obsessed Men
Monday, Philadelphia, Four Seasons Hotel.

The six-person team in Kassel divided the work and each performed their respective duties.

According to the tattered hand-drawn map in the post by 'Crown Prince', Caesar has the Word of Power: Kamaitachi, and Chu Zihang has extensive experience in the Execution Department. The two are responsible for conducting on-site visits and going out to search and explore.

Fingel and Susie both have good internet skills and conduct surveys online.

Chen Motong acted as the mediator, conveying the information that Fingel or Susie had gathered to Caesar and Chu Zihang.

Or, conversely, inform Fingel and Susie of the key points that Caesar and Chu Zihang have discovered during their visits.

Lu Mingfei is in charge of logistics.

For example, right now, after pouring tea and juice for Chen Motong and Su Qian in the girls' room, he returned to his own room and opened a can of iced cola for Fingel: "Senior, do you want to drink it straight or should I put a straw in it for you?"

"Thanks~" Fingel yawned widely: "But I can't drink for now. I've been looking up information for too long and my brain is starting to feel sleepy. I'm going to take a nap."

Lu Mingfei immediately left quietly, being sensible. He had only been enrolled for two months and hadn't learned anything yet, so he could only pray that the big shot would carry him. He definitely had to prioritize letting the big shot get some rest.

Standing in the hotel corridor for a moment, Lu Mingfei went to Chen Motong and Su Xi's room again to see if there was anything he could do to help.

Lu Mingfei is still too naive. He always feels guilty for being idle, and he is happy to do even simple tasks like serving tea and water. Unlike working people who have been working for many years, he can slack off without a care in the world.

As a result, Chen Motong said that Su Qian's investigation had taken too long and was bad for her skin, so he insisted on dragging Su Qian to take a bath together.

Lu Mingfei, who hadn't even stepped inside, ran away as soon as he heard the girl wanted to take a bath.

Fingel was sleeping, his two senior sisters were taking a shower, and Chu Zihang and Caesar were out visiting people. There was no one in the room at all.

With nowhere to go, Lu Mingfei thought it was too stupid to sit in the hotel lobby and daydream, so he decided to go to the executive lounge to freeload food and drinks.

Chewing on the unpalatable pastries, Lu Mingfei suddenly felt a bit annoyed. Why couldn't such a high-class hotel have an internet cafe inside?

Bored, Lu Mingfei suddenly felt lonely and wanted to play StarCraft.

They had no idea he had been deliberately misled.

……

Fingel, who was 'asleep,' and Chen Motong and Susie, who were 'taking a bath,' had already arrived at Source Castle.

Since the Three Gorges Dam project, the weekly meetings have continued at a fixed time every Monday, and Susie has gradually adapted to the old church.

But at this gathering, Susie was the first to notice something was wrong. Why was there suddenly someone to her left? Was there a new member?
Soon, the other members noticed that a figure dressed in a Tang Dynasty palace dress had appeared at the fifth seat on the right side of the bronze table.

Curious glances were cast their way; had another batch of newcomers joined them?

Moreover, this newcomer has a great presence and is dressed very elegantly.

Nuwa, who was being scrutinized by multiple people at the same time, showed no hesitation or nervousness. Instead, she took the initiative and began to examine each person carefully, starting with the first one on the left.

He displayed extraordinary confidence and presence.

Without any words or gestures, one can tell from her overall demeanor that she has long held a position of power.

Nuwa was very satisfied at this moment. She had finally successfully joined the Old Church and even met members other than 'Huang Tao'.

During this period, after meeting Mr. Fool, Nuwa became increasingly eager to join the Old Church and obtain the power left behind by the past.

No one knows the limits of hybrid races better than Nuwa.

Even the strongest hybrids have a ceiling. Take Nuwa herself, for example. She reached the limit of her bloodline early on, pushing her physical abilities and incantations to their limits, unable to make any further progress. To become stronger, Nuwa honed her martial arts and studied alchemy to the best of her ability. Afterward, with nothing else to do, she could only pass the time by playing games.

The Zhou family is similar, with a thousand-year-old tradition of constantly innovating its training methods to cultivate one outstanding mixed-race prodigy after another.

But so what?
Even with all their strength combined, they wouldn't be enough to defeat a single dragon king.

Compared to true dragons, the potential of hybrids is extremely low.

But things are different now. The ancient history hidden before the history of the dragon race has shown Nuwa the possibility of going even further, or even taking more steps!

It's not just about personal progress, but also about the progress of the entire Zhou family!

If we can obtain the remnants of the ancients, then what Nuwa herself will gain is only a small benefit, while the Zhou family will gain the real great benefit!

As the head of the Zhou family, Nuwa still had a patriarchal mindset, and her top priority was always the interests of the family.

To this end, Nuwa actively mobilized the Zhou family's power, investing heavily and sparing no expense to help the old church expand.

The previously agreed-upon one hundred temples cost countless sums of money, and hundreds of construction teams were hired to start work simultaneously overnight.

Every few days, they would diligently contact 'Huang Tao' to ask if he wanted to build a few more temples, with all expenses covered by the Zhou family.

So, in the past month, the Zhou family has almost become the spokesperson for the old church.

Whether it was the construction of the old temple, the approval of qualifications, or any trouble that required someone to step in, the Zhou family always resolved it quickly and efficiently.

This left the other ancient families in the region completely baffled. They had no idea where the Old Days Cult had come from, nor why the Zhou family was so eager to curry favor with it.

Yes, the Zhou family's behavior of ingratiating themselves with others seemed to the other ancient families to be nothing short of being love-struck, giving without expecting anything in return.

This has led to a proliferation of rumors, including one that Zhou Jiawazhu has fallen in love with a former bishop, which has been circulating in the local mixed-race community.

Otherwise, why would the Zhou family, as if they'd been kicked in the head by a donkey, keep trying to curry favor with the old sect?

Nuwa naturally heard these rumors, but she was too lazy to pay attention to them. Noble families also believed in making a fortune in silence.

When she acquires the power left behind by the ancients and takes the entire Zhou family to new heights, those noble families who only know how to talk big will be crawling on the ground, pitifully begging her for help!
Now, Nuwa has successfully taken the first step, gaining the trust of the Old Church and joining it, thus obtaining the Sequence 9 Warrior Potion recipe.

The Fool, played by Bao Lie, remained motionless. As soon as he uttered these thoughts, the gray mist solidified automatically, gently tapping the bronze table and drawing all eyes: "This is Lady Twilight."

Everyone applauded, and one by one, according to the order of joining the sect, they introduced themselves by their code names, while also expressing their welcome to Nuwa.

Nuwa smiled and nodded to the crowd in response, while her mind raced as she thought about the members who had joined the cult at the same time as her.

I wonder what sequence they are at now? And what paths they have taken?

If the Zhou family were to pay a high enough price, could they trade for potion recipes from other sources?
Unlike the other members who were attending the meeting for the first time, the other members were curious, excited, and full of expectations for the unknown old church;
Nuwa remained calm. While she experienced novelty and excitement, these emotions were not strong; she focused more on the interests of the Zhou family.

Because of her joining the church, Nuwa has acquired potion recipes, including Sequence 9 Warrior Potions and Sequence 8 Fighter Potions, all of which melt instantly in the mouth.

Afterwards, I consulted 'Huang Tao' and learned that advancing too quickly could easily lead to an unstable foundation and loss of control. Therefore, I haven't taken the Sequence 7 Weapon Master's potion yet and have stopped for a few days to recover.

However, the power of the warrior's potion still impressed Nuwa, allowing her to see a future that completely surpassed that of hybrids.

Although warriors and fighters in the early stages of the race are not as strong as elite hybrids, their potential is high!

Nuwa was even prepared to pay an even greater price to obtain permission from the Old Church and from Mr. Fool to give the Warrior's Potion formula to a select few of her elite tribes.

Now that she has suddenly seen the other seven members, each of whom seems to have their own path, how could Nuwa not be tempted?
