Witch, don't be so lazy

An Ke quickly stopped the other party's behavior. She couldn't and didn't want to make a decision for Momo. At most, she could only play the role of a listener and a person to chat with.

"They might have done it on purpose. I once read a line in a picture book: 'To reach the summit, one must endure the pain; to wear the crown, one must bear the weight.' Every important person will always face dilemmas. Right and wrong are hard to judge, but the determination to make a choice and the magnanimity to bear the cost are indispensable... Why is Sister Momo looking at me like that?"

"Because little Anke suddenly said something very great and wise."

Momo's eyes widened.

Although she expressed her confusion, she was not naive enough to expect guidance from a little girl. She just wanted someone to talk to.

"...I'm just borrowing words from a book. What do you think, Mr. Xiao Hui?"

Encore changed the subject.

"Momo's thoughts are my thoughts."

The gray gecko swung its tail and its gaze fell on Momo's face, just like the girl's.

In fact, she didn't have to worry about it for long, as she probably already had the answer in her mind.

"Then I still think heroes shouldn't be sacrificed repeatedly. Even if it doesn't have a romantic ending like in fairy tales or poetry, at least there should be some warmth. Tier 4 monsters... Black Rock City isn't short on them, and it can also prevent people from developing other emotions, which is quite good."

Momo heaved a sigh of relief, as if she had made up her mind.

"Of those three methods, I really still prefer the one with the least feasibility. Ling: Meng Erliu Ba Wulin Jiu Shan Lu Jiu? But... well, never mind. Even if it doesn't work, I still think this is the best option. Little An Ke, don't you agree? Oh, you can only answer yes, otherwise I'll pinch you."

"……Yes."

An Ke hesitated to speak.

She didn't want to protest Momo's brutality, but mainly because she now had a position as an apostle of the Dark Sun Lord, which might increase the success rate of the Holy Spirit Ritual.

As for the armor-wearing ceremony, well, I wonder if the members of the Disaster Cult can act as the snake. Don’t they always like to play with snakes?

But there are still many problems that have not been solved. She doesn't know if her faith is enough, and she has no way to communicate with Sutur. Other gods have to send an invitation when they lose their positions.

The same goes for the armor-donning ceremony. I don't know what Sutur's situation is. He may not have the energy to complete the re-enactment of the event.

"Well, we also have to be careful of the enemies on the other side, the missing Apostle of the Well of Silence, and the two members of the Calamity Cult."

An Ke just gave a reminder in the end.

"Yes, I almost forgot. Momo came to see Xiao Anke because of this. Did you hear the members of the Well of Silence mention the specific location of the Calamity Cult's base?"

"Hmm... about forty kilometers southwest of Asda City, in a dark cave. That's all I know."

An Ke answered honestly.

She really didn't know, because that was all Yin Ya said.

"That's okay...it doesn't matter. Others know that there's a vampire in the ruins of Taiqier. Little Anke, go with Momo tomorrow morning."

"Row."

An Ke nodded decisively.

It's a good thing to have a fight. Maybe she can open the [Devil's Gospel] again.

"Oh, if Xiao Anke were to choose between these three methods, what would you choose? You'd be even more conflicted than Momo, right?"

Momo was a little curious, and Xiaohui also looked at the girl.

"Just like Sister Momo, I choose the third one."

"Hey~ What if the third one doesn't work? Will you also prevent him from getting promoted, or choose the other two?"

"Well..."

An Ke smiled and didn't answer directly. Instead, she said in a roundabout way, "Those who often say they are good children are often not so good at heart."

Momo blinked her eyes and did not ask Qi Ming/Ba Wu Si Yan Ba/Qi Qi again. She just pinched the girl's face.

"Remember to prepare in advance and don't sleep in~"

"Okay, good night~"

Good night~Remember to refresh

Chapter 127 Reminder

The night fades away and the morning light breaks.

The city of Asda woke up earlier than usual. To be more precise, it did not sleep at all. As orders were passed one after another, it was like a vicious beast awakening from its slumber, with its eyes open, teeth gnashing, ready to fight at any time.

As the noise was not concealed, most of the residents of the town slept restlessly all night, but they did not feel sleepy when they woke up in the morning.

Because they suddenly learned that the cult might launch an attack, the whole city declared martial law and officially entered a state of war readiness. Anyone would throw away their sleepiness.

It was somewhat similar to the announcement of the appearance of a White Walker nest in Cedar Town half a year ago. People fell into confusion and anxiety, but the city did not become chaotic, and there was not even any looting of supplies, at least not on the surface, because controls had already been put in place, both for transportation and for items.

In the room of the Adventurer's Club, Momo stared at the sleepy-looking girl and blinked:

"Little Anke couldn't sleep last night? Was it because of the series of events yesterday, or was it because you were nervous about going to the Taiqir Ruins today?"

She comforted him, "Don't be afraid, Momo is here, nothing will happen to you. I brought you there just to broaden your horizons. Momo has studied some spells of the Lieyang School."

...No wonder they invited me over. Turns out they were planning to demonstrate some blazing sun magic. Hmm, I could even guess those spells might have been created by Black Rock City. Their ultimate goal was to seduce the little girl...

An Ke's mind moved, but she nodded obediently on the surface.

"Well, I believe Sister Momo. She might have been too nervous last night and couldn't sleep well because of tossing and turning. Let's go."

This is a lie.

The real reason cannot be spoken out loud.

In fact, An Ke didn't expect that when she packed her things and finished washing up, meditated for a while, and then lay down on the bed, wrapped in the quilt, and prepared to have a good sleep, an accident happened.

That was the message delivered by the Lord of Dark Sun, but the initiator was not him, but the Saint Lady.

It's been nearly two months.

Suddenly, Celine Weier sent her a chat message again.

The familiar witch hunting style, straight to the point.

[An Ke, is there something wrong with you? The God has undergone a significant change, and the Church has noticed it. Is it related to you?]

all of a sudden.

An Ke's sleepiness, which had finally been relieved, disappeared in an instant, and her mind began to work rapidly.

This information is indeed unexpected.

The so-called changes in the Lord of the Dark Sun were probably due to His contact with the pale flames of the Eternal Death Star, which led to some transformation.

She thought it was just a trivial matter, but in fact, the impact it had on the Dark Sun Lord might not be small, which might be the main reason why He gave the blessing.

Also, what the hell has the church observed?

It had only been a few hours since she sacrificed the base of the Well of Silence, and the church had already responded?

This is definitely not something that can be explained by the church's magical powers, otherwise they should have caught Celine Weier before the spiritual world tour. Combined with Weier's previous statement that "the situation is complicated", she inexplicably became a saint recognized by the church.

Was he recruited? Was he being controlled or incited to revolt? Was he trying to influence the Dark Sun Lord? Would that involve him?

Almost in a flash, An Ke thought of many things.

After all, that was the church. Even though she was currently in the North, if they really wanted to take action, it would be easy for them to control her, a first-level mage with no background and no protection.

However, Anke finally calmed down, mainly because he trusted the anonymous identity created by the system. Since he could even suspend his priesthood, he would not easily let others find him through the mysterious connection.

Besides, the church already has a legitimate saint in Celine Weir, and she, a junior priest, was recruited personally by the church, so her status is even lower. They probably won't bother to deal with her... No, that's hard to say. What if the church intends to control all of the Dark Sun Lord's followers and thus further interfere with him? Then, they might find her uncontrollable factor very conspicuous...

However, considering that although the Dark Sun Lord is a little weak, he is still a god, so he can still influence the saint he has chosen. His ability to interfere with Celineweier is definitely very strong, and he should be able to detect whether there is any problem with his saint. Now that he is in charge of the communication, if there is a problem, he should remind you or even not allow you to initiate contact.

It's not like the saint would fall into the hands of the church and push the priests into the fire pit, right?

The different world she traveled to is not Suqing, and Xiao Anri is not Aqua, so it can't be that unreliable, right?

But no matter what, Anke thought for a long time and replied with a message.

Instead of answering the question, she just asked it.

【Vell is exposed? 】

【Um】

[…What about me?]

【sorry】

send!

The moment he saw the three words of reply, An Ke immediately sat up in bed.

Wei'er is still sending messages.

[Due to the protection of the Lord of Dawn and the God, the Inquisition and the Atonement Agency cannot directly read my thoughts. However, through questioning and profiling, combined with the observations of the Sanctuary, they roughly guessed that the God has other priests.]

Perhaps they were unsure before, and their attitude wasn't that positive, but the change in the Lord God is so obvious. They're showing signs of eagerness. Just now, Lady Saint Serosa informed me that they'll be meeting with the Inquisition and the Atonement Agency.

"I'll do my best to cover it up for you, but I'm not sure how far I can go. They might resort to methods like divination and divine revelation, and they might even mobilize some spies planted in the northern territory."

[I don't know if you've contacted the Tower Council yet, or if you're planning to seek the Almighty to remove you from your priesthood. In any case, I hope you'll act quickly and carefully.]

Looking at the message, Enke felt mixed emotions.

Both happy and anxious.

She was happy to receive Celine Wei'er's reminder, which meant that the Saint Lady still cared about her as a friend, and she had the energy to send a message, proving that Wei'er was not a puppet, at least not for the time being.

But anxiety is inevitable, and I was even so anxious that I didn't have the mood to complain about the Saint Lady thanking the Lord of Dawn in front of Xiao Anri.

After all, who knows how much information the church has learned, whether they are willing to use high-level means to investigate or lock her down, and there is no way of knowing what kind of spies they have planted in the North...

Anke is now unsure how powerful the system is. Although Tongzi once prevented Antica from tracing and cursing her, if the Church and Heaven really take action, they will not be able to compare with Shadow Cat.

There are a lot of problems.

Fortunately, this is the northern border, separated from the southern continent by the sea, and the Tower Council and the Papal States have always been at odds.

However, this did not feel safe either. She had to go to the capital city of Pandgar early, to the Tower Academy, and contact the important figures of the Tower Council, so that she could feel more at ease.

She believed that Xiao Anri would not mind. After all, the saints were in the church, so what was wrong with the priest going to the tower? The main purpose was to hedge.

I just don't know whose connections I should use if I want to sell the Dark Sun Lord and reveal my identity as a priest?

The more reliable the insider is, the better, and the fewer people who know the information, the better, to avoid giving spies planted by the church any loopholes.

The old guy should be okay, after all, he was once a famous figure, but I don't know what big incident he caused more than 20 years ago. I wonder what his relationship with the upper echelons of the tower is like now. If it's very tense, it would be embarrassing...

Yangbao should be fine too. Little Fat Pigeon and Little Lamb have such a good relationship, and the Golden Witch now holds the second seat on the council... Hmm, but there are a lot of problems here. First of all, the Moon Snow Owl is a follower of the Moonlight Goddess. How is she going to explain becoming a priestess of the Dark Sun? Did they meet in the spirit world? Will it involve the Moon Goddess? Isn't this revealing too much?

Momo seemed to be able to do it too. Anke could now more or less guess that the "Amo" the other party was talking about should be His Majesty the Fifth Kumo. Looking at the intimate way he addressed him, he was most likely a master or adoptive father.

The City of Black Rock is the place in the North that is most proficient in the School of the Fiery Sun. The Lord of Dark Sun is also from the School of the Fiery Sun, so it is a good match. If she uses this relationship, she can also give the apostle to Sutur openly, but the problem is that she and Momo are not very familiar with each other.

There was also the seventh seat recommended by Celine Weier, His Majesty Qina, the "Almighty One." Although the Chaos School seemed quite suitable for her, she didn't know much about him, and she didn't have a reliable introducer...

After making a choice, does it mean that you have taken sides in the Tower Council? In that case, you may have to consider other issues.

It's not just about the strength of the power, but also about how others are willing to train her. For example, if the other party has a successor, then the resources will definitely be mainly tilted towards the successor, and they may not be willing to treat her with care.

I'm so conflicted. Can I have them all? Can I cut the Dark Sun Lord into several pieces? That way I don't have to worry about it.

An Ke sighed, but didn't fret for too long. Instead, she quickly sent a message to Celine Weier.

[Weir, how is the situation over there? Can you tell me about it?]

She had been curious since the beginning and took this opportunity to ask.

The Saint Lady was also very straightforward and told An Ke exactly what had happened, leaving her stunned.

Because the spiritual talent [Death Wing] was exposed?

Direct intervention from the Holy Church?

Becoming a saint inexplicably?

Nominally affiliated with the orphanage, but actually affiliated with the atonement agency?

When selecting the Holy Wedge in the Atonement Agency, I got a response from the eighth leader. It seems that it was Droke from Red Rock Town?

The person in charge of the experiment, 053, did not die, but instead became a big shot in the temple?
