Chapter 479: Scouting (Please Subscribe)

Late at night.

Headquarters of the Church of the God of Wisdom.

Inside the pure white building, the 'Temple of Knowledge', in Plymouth.

The Pope—Hanote Aige is currently flipping through a large stack of documents in his hands.

As the Pope of the God of Wisdom, besides his daily official duties, he also needs to constantly learn new knowledge.

As a practitioner of the pure 'Tower' path, the thirst for knowledge has long been carved into their bone marrow.

But regardless, there is the anomaly known as the 'Green Forest Earl'.

What truly makes Hanote Aige restless is the Divine Oracle from the Age-Keeper—the 'Raven'!

Only after walking down a street and no longer being able to see the Church building did he let out a long breath: "Thank goodness I wasn't discovered. Hmm..."

At this moment, Hanote Aige puts down the documents, tiredly rubbing his brow, his face seemingly filled with worries.

The establishment of an Imperial God church is naturally a very complex matter.

'Although they were involved in the major case that polluted the Royal Capital, after such a long period of surveillance, it can be confirmed that there are no hidden dangers remaining on them...'

"When you need me, you call me 'Grandpa', and when you don't, you call me a dead crow..."

This is truly inconceivable!

For a Path of Mystery without the protection of a 'Spirit of Falsehood', every accumulation of Spirituality is accompanied by madness.

William curses under his breath, glances at the two night watchmen guarding outside the white Temple, clutches his chest tightly, and quickens his pace.

While passing by the pure white Temple, he presses his chest: "Grandpa Bran, I'm counting on you... See if you can sneak into the dungeon and 'steal' those two sisters out?"

But no matter how inconceivable, or how it is deemed to not conform to the laws, others simply exist!

And existence is rational!

Hanote Aige can only accept this reality, then think about other matters: "Hmm... with the Spirit Tide Revival reaching a certain level, marked by the reawakening of the 'Green Forest Earl'... the Mortal World can now accommodate 'Immortals'."

Hanote Aige has actually always found it hard to understand why 'Immortals' existed a thousand years ago.

Even if one obtains the permission of an Age-Keeper, finds sufficient materials, and prepares the Ritual... ascending to 'Immortal' is still a very risky affair!

But this is not enough to make a Crown known for his wisdom worry.

At this time, he is already a non-human 'Sage'.

"With the active cooperation of the Church... William's plan will surely succeed."

He breaks out in a cold sweat, immediately jogging away from this block, preparing to perform a Coffee Divination after returning...

Under the same night sky.

"Pity... I am already too old."

And every promotion causes the potential madness to erupt completely!

The higher the level, the more this is the case!

Hanote Aige is already very old; his will may be peerless, but his energy is not what it once was.

"Damn, dead bird!"

"And those Great Existences seem to have reached an agreement, allowing 'Immortals' to appear..."

However, facing an Imperial God church, he still dares not have the slightest slack.

"'Worldly Immortal'... does 'eternal life' truly exist?"

However, even an Imperial God church does not extravagantly have High-Level Extraordinaries guarding the gate; those two night watchmen are only ordinary low-quality-level individuals, and thus William was able to steal the 'knowledge' he wanted.

Hanote Aige sighs gloomily, then shifts to a bitter smile: "Even if I were twenty years younger, it would still be gambling with my life..."

Bran's voice comes from his chest: "Grandpa Bran is not in the mood, Grandpa Bran is very unhappy..."

'Releasing those two girls is naturally no problem at all.'

'Sigh... when designing the dungeon before, the defenses seemed a bit too tight... and A'luosi... this stubborn fool cannot understand such complex orders; he must be transferred away!'

According to the Spirit Tide Revival theory, in that era, even becoming a 'Spirit Being', that is, a human who initially possesses spirituality, should have been very difficult!

This Pope Crown wears a deep blue religious robe with a White Tower-style emblem on it; his forehead is broad, and although his appearance is aged, his bright eyes seem to contain endless wisdom.

Hanote Aige looks at his own face full of age spots in the mirror and sighs deeply.

Even if he were forced to ascend, the result would most likely be failure!

"It really is... frustrating."

William Xiaer, wearing indigo worker's clothes, disguises himself as a night-shift worker and passes by the Temple of Knowledge.

"Grandpa Bran, you have to help me... this is a rare opportunity."

The 'Book Thief' Talisman's ability is extremely powerful; it can directly steal 'knowledge' from a person's mind!

Of course, if the target's quality level is too high, the possibility of failure is greater.

After a long while, he bites the cap of his pen: "Hmm... if it were before, it would be somewhat troublesome... but recently the dungeon transfers seem very frequent; according to the night watchmen's news, A'luosi is about to be transferred, and the new prison Watcher has not yet been selected... once that Non-human Existence is transferred away, it will be the best opportunity!"

He closes his eyes, takes out a notebook and a fountain pen, and begins to quickly record some key information, including a rough sketch.

'Besides that... according to intelligence, those ancient Cults all have unusual movements... perhaps, the 'Immortals' of the new era are about to appear?'

"If I were twenty years younger..."

'It seems... My Lord wants to use the release of those two sisters to accomplish some things, but does not want to be too deeply involved; some subtle boundaries in this require very precise control.'

'But how to cooperate? It must also be made to look as much as possible like it wasn't intentional on our side, but rather that the enemy was too cunning, which is why they escaped...'

On it, there is clearly the patrol layout of the Temple of Knowledge, as well as some of its internal structures!

As a 'Sage', what one is best at is playing with knowledge!

Coupled with the help of the raven 'Bran', and using a Secret Ritual, William has crafted two 'Book Thief' Talismans for this operation!

As he passed those two night watchmen, William had already secretly used a Talisman to "copy" the knowledge in their minds regarding the patrol routes and the structure of the Temple.

William pressed his chest, suddenly feeling that something was missing: "Huh? Master Bran? Bran? Dead crow? Did you run off again? Wait... don't tell me it ran straight into the Church to steal someone?"

"Although the previous attempt by the 'God of Suffering' did not succeed, it was a signal!"

Hanote Aige put himself in the position of a Non-human Existence, simulating the plan.

On the rooftop of a five-story building, Aaron held a gold-inlaid cane and smiled at the red-eyed crow that flew before him: "What do you think? 'Raven'?!"

"The Great One is awakening within you..."

Bran's third eye opened, and his aura suddenly became dark and obscure.
