~7 min read 1,268 words

"Lord God's Messenger... do you know what happened at Green Forest Cathedral?"

Liliyat thought of that sleepless night and, unable to restrain her curiosity, asked the same.

"Archbishop Roberts has fallen. He collaborated with the Lotus Eater Organization and has successfully ascended, opening the Fourth Primordial Substance to become a Non-human Existence—'Insect Nest'. It is currently uncertain whether he has fled or is hiding locally..."

Aaron sighed and replied.

'Lord God's Messenger is so amazing. "The Jazz" at most knew that Roberts had ascended to become a Non-human Existence; he even knows the identity of his collaborator and the name he took after ascending.'

'Lotus Eater Organization, I've heard of it. It's a notorious necrophagous cult, and its reputation in the Hidden Realm is brutal... To think Roberts would collaborate with them; it's simply too evil.'

Liliyat condemned them in her heart and asked with slight anticipation: "What is our Cult's attitude toward them?"

"I swear... I will definitely slaughter him!"

At this moment, he saw a group of strangers appear outside the cemetery.

Aaron glanced at Liliyat and suddenly chuckled: "Do you want to... restore the glory of the Sotos Family?"

Before Aaron left, he brought this matter up.

Friends and family, dressed in black formal wear with mourning expressions, surrounded the burial pit and threw in various funerary objects.

Because if Nicholas failed, the fate awaiting him would be secret execution; they would absolutely not let him become a public figure.

She complained inwardly, but still replied respectfully: "Yes, I will strive to complete the mission!"

And once he obtained the positioning technology, allowing him to enter from a safe location every time, he could fully utilize the advantages of his Spirit Body and Aokelaier to search for materials in the Spirit World.

After receiving the reply that Liliyat would strive to search, he walked out of the Safe House, his figure disappearing into the darkness.

Aaron woke up early in the morning, finished his daily Meditation Method training on the balcony, and headed to the living room to enjoy breakfast.

Aaron made himself sound very lighthearted, as if it were just a superior fulfilling a new member's wish by specifically setting a mission and test based on their desires.

"As for my attitude?"

Liliyat answered without hesitation.

Among them were men and women, all with extremely solemn expressions, holding bouquets of white or yellow flowers in their hands.

He indeed needed a piece of Dream Realm Positioning Technology, because in the current Dream Realm, every entry led to a different place; the uncertainty was too great.

Percy swore to himself in his heart.

"I do!"

"Hmm, lastly, I need technology for positioning and timing in the Dream Realm. If you can find it for me, I can do one thing for you."

"My Lord does not care. As for the individual sentiments and stances of the Cult's members, that is up to them!"

Liliyat's smile stiffened and slowly collapsed.

After becoming a 'Light Shepherd', he could once again accumulate Spirituality every day through the 'Radiance Method' and 'Absorption Method', waiting for the node of qualitative change to the next level.

For Aaron, the suspension of the gatherings had little impact for the time being.

Aaron replied very indifferently.

What did it have to do with him if the Lotus Eaters and Roberts went to war with the Investigation Bureau?

"I understand."

"Captain..."

Liliyat cheered in her heart, then immediately heard the voice of the Lord God's Messenger: "First, set a small goal—take back Sotos Castle! Hmm, this is also a small test I am giving you!"

Beside Percy, a colleague said in surprise: "Did you see the leader? I've seen his photo in internal files. He is an Investigation Bureau Director—Jacob Jones, a true bigwig from headquarters, a Non-human Existence..."

Liliyat believed this immediately; after all, the Spirit of Falsehood did not care about faith at all and was a God Beyond the World who could sit by and watch the Ethereal Sect wither away!

'But... I still have to follow the Cult's stance closely, otherwise my fate will be worrisome.'

【Police find survivor—Cleric Nicholas Inamu!】

"As for now, cooperating with the authorities—at least obtaining their tacit approval and tolerance—is something you can more easily achieve. I permit you to leak some intelligence to the Investigation Bureau under the premise of protecting your own secrets... thereby obtaining leniency and rewards."

Beside the glass filled with lemonade was today's morning paper.

If necessary, she could go to the Investigation Bureau to report them secretly!

"It's reinforcements from headquarters!"

Even his captain, Sinderson Kappler, had heroically sacrificed himself in that tragic battle.

"Sotos Castle?"

Liliyat was no fool; she looked at Aaron with anticipation, wanting to know his attitude.

And having paid so many costs, it had only forced that fallen Archbishop to retreat temporarily.

【Sole survivor! Latest progress on the Green Forest Cathedral gas explosion exposed!】

【Currently... the Cleric has completed treatment at Saint Maria Sanatorium, and the Attending Physician states the patient's condition is stable and he can be discharged at any time...】

September 15, Tuesday.

For Aaron, this was good news.

That was a famous museum in the kingdom, the property of City Hall!

Aaron laughed.

For him, this was even more dangerous. After all, if it were too random, there was a possibility of coming face-to-face with some deity upon entry; although this possibility was small, it still had to be guarded against.

At this time, one could guide things subtly.

Percy wore a black formal suit, his expression solemn, a white lily pinned to his chest, watching as one pitch-black coffin after another was carried and sent into the burial pit.

He closed his eyes, as if he had returned to that night, seeing the sky full of insect clouds and his teammates falling one after another.

A headline on it caught Aaron's attention:

Of course, daily outings and visits were necessary, otherwise, one would be suspected instead, because ordinary people knew nothing about the Mysterious world, nor did they know how high-pressure and dangerous the hidden world of Green Forest City was at this moment!

In fact, according to Aaron's perception, the activity level of all Wild Beyonders in the city had indeed plummeted!

It could be said that anyone with a normal brain had entered a state of hibernation to avoid becoming a target for the Investigation Bureau's madness.

"Report them? Fantastic, that's exactly what I was thinking!"

It would be too tiring for him to do this himself, so it was better to leave it to Jinni's descendants.

"Hmm, it looks like Nicholas has already hoodwinked the Sunset School, and with the help of the Sunset School's Secret arts, he has passed the Investigation Bureau's vetting... and now, it's finally in the papers."

"Besides, it's already listed on the Kingdom's Cultural Heritage Register; it's impossible to destroy or change the nature of the land, so even if we got it back, we couldn't live there!"

While Aaron was leisurely enjoying his breakfast, a collective funeral was also being held at the cemetery on the outskirts of Green Forest.

After returning to Golden Rose Street No. 33, Aaron became much more well-behaved.

"Lord God's Messenger is so kind."

When speaking to the end, the other party clearly lowered their voice: "And there is the 'Clock Holder' Kasuluo, he wields a Non-human Grade Magical Item... Good heavens, Lady 'Night Witch' Fiona is here too!"

"Captain, did you see that?" Percy suddenly felt his eye sockets grow hot: "This time, we will definitely be able to avenge you!"
