Chapter 168: Meeting (3200 Added)
Iver Bridge District.
Inside a dilapidated small church.
Because Green Forest Cathedral was severely damaged and Saint Avalon Cathedral had not yet been completed, Nicholas Inamu, this acting Bishop, had no choice but to choose a small church to settle in.
At this moment, in the temporary office, looking at the appropriation in the account, Nicholas could not help but gasp: "So much funding..."
This is the church's public account, into which a sum of reconstruction funds had just been deposited.
Then, Nicholas stared at that sum of money, shocked for a long time, and muttered to himself: "No wonder Roberts could reach the Fourth Primordial Substance by relying on embezzlement..."
Of course, because of the Roberts fall incident, he, as the acting Bishop, could no longer spend this money as he pleased or recklessly falsify bills to embezzle.
Saturday, 8:00 PM.
While exchanging sentiments, perhaps one could also learn more about the Mysterious world from the other party!
How he and this person looked, they both seemed like the most peripheral members of the organization, the kind that could be abandoned at any time!
Otherwise, how could he not even know the name of the organization before?
Fortunately, it seemed that after this period of observation, he had finally gained trust and learned some information about the society.
However, as a former Cleric, he was still relatively satisfied with his current living conditions, and even felt that using such measures to prevent a Bishop from having too much power was necessary and proper.
Next to his office was Leisinuo's office.
A nun walked over, looked at Nicholas with eyes full of worship, and said respectfully.
Aaron scanned the two of them and said to Liliyat in a calm voice: "He has already passed the observation and become a member of our 'Invisible Cult', and is currently executing other tasks."
Suburbs, inside a small grove.
"Who are you?"
Liliyat glanced at him; in fact, she also felt a bit guilty.
This is no ordinary title; one must obtain the favor of a god, and even go a step further than a God's Favored, representing the will of the god to a certain extent!
"'Sting Sword' did not come..."
Just at this moment, a phantom formed from the darkness, morphing into the image of Yasuo wearing a Raven Mask.
The cold wind was biting, the moonlight was hazy, and the crisscrossing tree branches turned into shrill and strange shadows.
A moment later, in the narrow confessional, he saw a note passed over from the opposite side of the small window, and his expression could not help but become somewhat strange...
Because the person who came wore a mask, and their height and form did not match; it was not the God's Messenger!
At this time, Nicholas finished his work, stood up and stretched, thinking about whether to invite the other party to dinner together.
'God's Messenger?'
Liliyat inexplicably felt a sense of the vicissitudes of time, as if the other party had truly experienced it, and could not help but answer with awe: "I will work hard to become a core member!"
"Do not be too surprised, our Cult is, after all, a Cult directly supported by a Hidden Existence comparable to a Pillar of Age..."
"Lord God's Messenger!"
Aaron smiled and said: "You also know that the accumulation of Spirituality and the opening of Primordial Substances are accompanied by the influence of madness traits... and My Lord can eliminate these sequelae of promotion, allowing you to promote continuously in a short period of time... For us, the only things shackling our rank are Secret Transmissions and corresponding resources!... So work hard! Changsheng is lonely, and I hope you will not fall behind, and not wait until hundreds of years later, when I can only go to your tombstones to mourn you!"
"Mr. Yasuo?"
She reached out, gripped the substitute doll in her arms, and her voice was full of vigilance.
"Believer of the Spirit of Falsehood."
Nicholas realized suddenly, preparing to check the intelligence on this aspect as soon as he returned.
Not long after, from another direction, a figure arrived carrying a Horse Lantern.
Nicholas was startled by this title and hurriedly returned the salute.
Nicholas knew very well that the clerk Leisinuo was the monitor sent from above.
After all, in the current Mysterious world, 'Immortal' is only a Legendary!
"Our organization is too powerful..." Nicholas was also incomparably shocked in his heart.
"Very good, you have all arrived."
"So our organization is called the 'Invisible Cult'?"
"Bishop, there is a believer who wants to see you; he is an acquaintance of yours and wants to confess to you personally!"
Moreover, he still treated his former friends kindly, without the slightest change in attitude due to the improvement in status.
Every sum of money on this must be signed by him, along with Leisinuo's secondary signature, before it can be truly withdrawn from the bank.
Liliyat cried out in joy, then suddenly stopped.
Nicholas replied in a deep voice while sizing up this person in black robes.
Liliyat bowed first.
In short, those who had not been observed by him and had not completely gained his trust could only serve as laborers to help core members promote to 'Immortal'.
Liliyat was trembling almost all over, almost unable to believe it.
For those small societies, perhaps one or two Extraordinary could serve as the core, while a Cult possessing a Non-human Existence is a true Evil Domain organization, capable of making a city tremble and being listed on the Investigation Bureau's wanted list!
What about the 'Invisible Cult'? It actually set its target directly at the Seventh Primordial Substance and was willing to help every core member!
They did not know that the current core member of the 'Invisible Cult' was only Aaron!
If they wanted to continuously promote their qualifications, Aaron would also set a series of standards, such as Temporary Member, Formal Member, Senior Member, Top-tier Member, Exclusive Member, and so on...
"Yes, our society worships the 'Spirit of Falsehood', but we do not need to sacrifice to Him, nor do we need to offer Prayer, because all tangible things are false; we pursue the mysteries of Invisible Spell, pursue Ancient secrets and various Mysterious Rituals... Ultimately, our ultimate goal is to help every core member promote to become an 'Immortal' through continuous practice!"
Nicholas nodded.
'Female? Looks like her status in the Cult is not high, very vigilant... Where is 'Sting Sword'?'
"Since that is the case, I will go over personally."
Although Nicholas had only just taken office, his style was completely different from the previous few Archbishops, strictly demanding of himself by the standards of an ascetic.
"Immortal?"
Of course, one can enjoy a certain degree of protection and assistance.
Liliyate Duolun, following the information on the note from before, wore a robe that concealed her figure and a hood, arriving beside a tree with specific Talismans carved onto its surface, waiting quietly.
All of this is quite rare.
"Me too!"
Nicholas nodded with a solemn expression; if one were to become an "Immortal," then becoming the Pope directly and reforming the entire Holy Spirit Church would be an incredibly simple matter!
With the help of the "Spirit of Falsehood," a mortal becoming immortal finally has a glimmer of possibility!
The two could not help but be incredibly excited, feeling as though they had latched onto a powerful benefactor.
Because a Cult that aims for advancement in this way and has the direct support of a Hidden Existence must have many High-Level Extraordinary members within it!
