Becoming God starting with the word game in Lord of Mysteries

Chapter 113 The Wandering Magician 'Merlin Hermes'

It was an island floating in the sea.

Tall and with short brown hair, Jack Belmont walked into the church in the center of the island.

Beneath the enormous symbol of the Fool, a tall man with dark blue hair stood with his back to him.

"Your Majesty Alger," the man bowed.

His response was a slightly deep voice.

Your promotion application has been approved.

A hint of excitement appeared on the man's face.

"You now have two tasks to choose from."

"One task is to go to the Sea of ​​Ignorance" to assist the messenger of God in building the new Church of the Fools.

"This task will be relatively complicated, and we will have to face the obstruction of several demigods of the Silent Covenant, but with the protection of the divine messenger, the danger is within a controllable range."

Jack glanced at the file, confirmed the requirements, and then asked, "Is there one more task?"

"The other mission will be quite dangerous."

"Before you look at the mission file, you need to swear an oath before the holy symbol of 'Mr. Fool'."

"Don't reveal anything you see."

"Yes."

Jack Belmont's expression turned serious.

Then he saw the "temple" take out a huge brass scroll from somewhere and hand it to him.

Jack opened it, and what came into view was text written in the ancient Hermetic language.

[The Contaminated Temple of Sunset]

[Danger Level: Do not inquire, do not disclose]

Jack was startled, but he dared not make a sound.

[Relic Description: Located at the junction of the "Hidden Land" and the "Lost Land," a unique building called the "Sunset Twilight Palace" has appeared, gradually attracting the surrounding residents inside.]

[Current status of the site: It has attracted hundreds of site explorers who have gone missing, and a number of Silent Covenant believers have entered it.]

[Mission Requirements: Find one of him and help him destroy the "foundation stone relic" of the "Temple of Sunset Twilight" to prevent the Holy Son from descending.]

[Special Note: The existence of the "Holy Son" is crucial to the success of the mission and is also a key element of the "Silent Covenant" strategy.]

[Mission Difficulty: Extremely Deadly]

"The Covenant of Silence? A scheme by an evil god?"

Jack's heart skipped a beat, and he stared in astonishment at the sanctuary before him.

Is a task involving deities really one he should accept?

Seemingly noticing his astonishment, the Holy Temple spoke up: "This mission involves some special secrets."

"A demigod who has attained divinity would face deadly danger if he went to participate."

"This includes me. Even if I went in, without Mr. Fool's protection, I would still risk perishing."

"You're also at risk of falling?" Jack asked in astonishment.

This Your Majesty is an angel under the tutelage of Mr. Fool.

Even he couldn't avoid it; was this really a task he could handle?

"However, for extraordinary individuals who have not yet attained 'divinity,' it is relatively safer."

"Therefore, we need a member who has not yet attained divinity, but is resilient and strong enough, to be His guide."

"So it's me?"

"You are one of them." The sanctuary did not deny it.

Therefore, there are other candidates.

Jack Belmont looked thoughtfully at the file and asked, "I am the guide, but who is the one I need to guide?"

"I have no idea."

do not know?

Jack Belmont was a little confused. How was he supposed to find him?

"According to the oracle of Mr. Fool, you will know when he appears."

"this----"

Jack pondered to himself, having been a member of the Fool's Church for so many years.

I've participated in many missions and faced dangers more than once, but this is the first time I've encountered such an ambiguous mission.

This is clearly extraordinary.

Then he heard the Holy One whisper, "This task may involve the plans of the gods," so even Mr. Fool could not provide all the revelations.

""

"There's no way to guarantee your absolute safety once you're inside."

"But that's precisely why Mr. Fool wants you to make sure you know all the possible risks before making a decision."

""

"As a reward for completing this mission, you will directly gain the qualification to be promoted to 'High Priest of Calamity' and 'Sea King'."

Instead of making a decision immediately, Jack Belmont asked, "What if this mission fails?"

The sanctuary remained silent, gazing quietly at the emblem of the Fool atop the church.

At this moment, silence seemed to provide the best answer.

Jack Belmont paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "I'm willing to participate in this mission."

"No one can estimate how long this mission will last; it could be a year, two years, or even decades," Alger said in a low voice. "There may be things that will cause you pain, frustration, and despair."

"And being a 'believer in the covenant of silence' will also bring you unknown and deadly risks."

Even so, you're still willing to participate.

"I know." Jack Belmont seemed to calm down, a firm look appearing in his brown eyes.

"But I remember my captain once told me that."

"No one has to sacrifice for anyone else, but even His Excellency the Divine Messenger and His Holiness the Holy Church are prepared to fight to the very end someday."

"it is good."

Alger took a letter from his pocket and handed it to Jack Belmont.

"Go to the Church of St. Audrey. Her Majesty has made the necessary preparations and will provide you with some helpful items and escort you to the Temple of Sunset."

The sanctuary glanced at the information at the back of the dossier and sighed softly.

[Note: The "Temple of Sunset and Twilight" is suspected to be a contingency plan activated by the "Primordial God," the Lord of the Astral Realms, after the failure of the Fourth Resurrection.]

[There are suspected remnants of the power of the "Mother Tree of Desire" and the "Fallen Mother Goddess." The Lord of Mysteries, the Eternal Darkness, and the Lord of Calamity have intervened.]

[The Mother Tree of Desire was severely damaged by Amon and the Lord of Mysteries during the "Battle of the End Times." It then went into hiding, carrying the Shadow World with it. It is suspected to be related to the fourth resurrection of the Primordial God. Its current status is unknown.]

The situation is currently in a state of equilibrium.

[Impact to be noted: There are signs that the Chaos Clan is about to awaken again]

"The Familia of Chaos..."

Alger sighed softly.

That was far more terrifying than the retinue of the "Fallen Mother Goddess" and the "Primordial God".

Under the crimson moon, a giant rose mummy commands many strange beings.

They wanted to catch the guide who was "bearing the mirror of calamity".

However, after a period of standoff, Gabriel found that the "guide" was very difficult to capture.

"Could he be a player like me? Does he also possess some special items, or even a blessing?"

"They're really troublesome."

Besides, Gabriel also had a misconception.

He did not fully unleash the power of the "Rose Mummy".

He now feels a sense of stagnation when he drives this monster.

"This is not my own power after all."

Gabriel was unaware of the true strength level of this "rose mummy".

But he was aware of his own weakness and his lack of knowledge in the occult.

But soon, he realized something was wrong.

The figure covered in fish scales had appeared in front of him at some point.

He took out a special cane and then tapped it gently.

Something seemed to be torn apart in the air, and a figure stepped out.

He was a young man dressed in a black robe and a top hat, like a magician from a circus.

He nodded slightly to Gabriel.

Gabriel was a little confused, but then a message popped up on his screen.

[The guide, Jack Belmont, uses the special item, the Star Staff (fake)]
