Mystery: Time Travelers of the Fourth Era

Chapter 527 Major Issues Met in Minor Meetings

In a distant, ideal land.

The hermit held a seemingly ordinary quill pen in his hand.

This will be known as Sealed Artifact 0-08 in the future. In the hands of the current "Hermit," it can unleash weaving abilities that are almost on par with those of the Sequence 0 Dreamer.

The hermit's power lies in the activation of knowledge; even with only one audience sequence 1, he can still elevate that power to the level of sequence 0.

But right now, what's more important is the woman in front of me. She wears a long robe that looks like it's adorned with stars, and her face is hidden behind a veil, but you can see a pair of eyes as deep as the night.

Goddess of the Night.

This lady, with whom I had not had much interaction before, at least not in this era, and with whom I had a rather shallow relationship, has now taken the initiative to visit the Hermit's divine kingdom in secrecy.

"I admire your keen insight, madam."

"No matter how many times I've visited you."

The Hermit was relatively polite to the night at this time, after all, He didn't care whether the Goddess of Night was a good person or a bad person, since the Goddess of Night couldn't harm Him anyway.

Of course, He didn't think that the Goddess of Night valued Him so much, or that He was so special or charming. Who knew who the Goddess of Night had secretly contacted besides the God of War?

During the Fourth Age, for nearly two thousand years, the Hermits did not discover any particularly friendly relationship between the Church of the Night and the Church of the Storm. However, from the perspective of the Fifth Age, the Goddess of Night and the Lord of the Storm had established a fairly good alliance.

Although this alliance was formed solely out of self-interest and environmental factors, who can say there wasn't some groundwork laid beforehand? At least Leodorus probably had some understanding and trust in the goddess of the night.

The personality of a modern elite woman like the Goddess of the Night is such that she will always stand on the side where she has a better chance of winning. She will almost never cause trouble for herself, make too many enemies for herself, or allow herself to be isolated by the system. Unless absolutely necessary, she will not even stand on the opposite side of those who must be overthrown to get through.

Do you need friends?

"I brought a gift."

The Goddess of the Night didn't take the Hermit's teasing to heart, and instead spoke with great grace.

Oh?

The moon's uniqueness—give it a glance, then take it back, implying that it can be given to me, or perhaps to Olnia?

Or perhaps the Earth Mother Goddess? Is she implying that we don't necessarily have to be in opposition?

The hermit nodded knowingly.

Then He saw that the Goddess of Night, this eight-armed demon wolf, presented a Time Worm as a gift.

Pales?

The hermit was taken aback. He glanced at the Time Worm in the Goddess of Night's hand with some disbelief, confirming that he was not mistaken. He felt... a mix of emotions.

No wonder, no wonder...

No wonder Amon and Jacob searched for you for so long but couldn't catch you.

It's funny, really. Jacob never really intended to capture Pales. He knew that this guy would live to the Fifth Age, and at least the Zoroastrian family wouldn't die out. Amon probably just wanted to play around with it from the start, after all, he was the god of mischief.

However, after being tricked by some of Palez's tricks... especially in front of Jacob, Amun's attitude changed from playful to serious.

Amun didn't necessarily need to capture Pales Zoroastrian; He simply enjoyed the pleasure of teasing others. However, being teased by others and unable to find any trace of Pales was somewhat insulting to the King of Angels.

Even Jacob was somewhat impressed by Palez Zoroaster's ability to play hide-and-seek.

And then... damn it... I thought he was a king, but he ended up falling into the hands of the goddess of night!

"It seems you're quite satisfied with the gift I brought."

The "Goddess of the Night" smiled slightly, sensing the change in the hermit's emotions. In fact, the hermit did not hide his emotions at all.

He said he would give a gift to mark the meeting, which would naturally be a sincere gift that would not harm himself in the slightest.

"I see."

The Hermit saw the Goddess of Night and truly entrusted Pales to him.

He had to admire the woman's business acumen; this was probably a pretty good investment after all.

The other party was quite generous with the payment.

"But I can't just take your gift for nothing."

"Furthermore, even if we are gods, we need to respect life. How can we take living people as gifts?"

The hermit smiled.

If you don't just kill Pales directly, it's putting me in a difficult position.

If you don't kill him, once he's in my hands, I don't really need to kill him.

This is the only conscience the Gui San family possesses.

"This is just a small gift."

The "Goddess of the Night" seemed not to understand the "Hermit's" words. Finding that the Hermit did not invite her to sit down, she simply stopped pretending to be polite and found a place to sit down. To be honest, after being a demon wolf for thousands of years, she had almost lost all the business etiquette of the past.

If it weren't for the fact that the "hermit" was also a remnant of the old order, he wouldn't have picked up these formalities again.

"My name is Amanisis, nice to meet you." (in English)

"Goddess of the Night" Amanisis reached out her hand to "The Hermit," which was tantamount to revealing her identity as a remnant of the past, and hoping that the conversation between the two would begin from this basic point of being a remnant of the past.

"Xia Ran".

The Hermit shook hands with Amanisis, then snapped his fingers. The mage's cooking magic easily produced two cups of coffee, and even the background of the utopia was changed to a beautifully decorated coffee shop.

Xia'er's clothes had been transformed into a more comfortable casual outfit. She pushed a menu toward the Goddess of the Night, and as a Sequence 0, replicating some drinks and desserts was just a matter of a thought.

He does not reject contact with the goddess of the night, because as long as they connect on a brainwave level and see each other's true nature, the interaction will be more pleasant, and they will be able to clearly understand what the other party can bring to them.

"Thanks."

Amanisis gave a simple thank you, and at that moment, her classic long dress transformed into a well-fitting business suit. The veil on her face and the hood on her head disappeared, and she looked like a rather refined Nordic woman. She wasn't particularly stunning, but perhaps because she had used a beauty filter, she became more and more attractive the more you looked at her.

Amanisis doesn't actually reject this kind of less-than-divine development, but apart from "transmigrators" like Shael, there aren't many other remnants of the past who emphasize their ordinary selves in reality.

Rosell did a good job in this regard, but it was also because the emperor spent a longer time as a human and a very short time as a god.

The Goddess of the Night has not shown herself to others in this form for a very long time, and for a moment, she even feels a sense of novelty and unfamiliarity.
