Chapter 305: Light-Guiding Cult

"Astrologer Society."

Amidst the crackling sound of firewood, Xia De's answer almost blurted out.

The Astrologer Society had never had an experience of particularly great development, and in some historical periods, it even fell into a regional organization. But the Astrologer Society had never disappeared; they had almost always existed along with human civilization, because the desire to know the future was a longing that had never disappeared among intelligent creatures since ancient times.

And the Society, which developed rapidly in the Sixth Era thanks to Luo De Pai, was probably the most prosperous society in history.

"That group of people who always only say half of what they mean really has a way to make themselves live longer."

The Moon Witch whispered. It seemed that the habits of astrologers were the same in any era.

"No, the Astrologer Society probably won't have information on contacting deities. Cautious astrologers won't store dangerous knowledge, and even if they did, they wouldn't easily tell an outsider like you... Name another one."

Miss Feilian said again. This time Xia De thought for a moment:

"Xuelingxue Sect."

He pursed his lips and added:

"I have a conflict with them."

"Very normal. The reputation of the Xuelingxue Sect is not good in our era either. I didn't expect that group of people to be able to exist for so long. It seems that the evil god you mentioned last time is probably related to them. But I think they won't have information on contacting the deity 【Yaobian Doorway】 either; the knowledge of the Xuelingxue Sect is more biased towards blood."

Miss Feilian whispered, but didn't let Xia De continue to list them. She thought for a while:

"I thought of an organization that might know the ritual information, and if it can exist in your time point, you might also be able to contact them and obtain ritual information from them... Do you know this?"

She didn't say the name, but reached out her hand from her robe and shallowly drew a symbol on the ground.

The main body of the symbol was an equilateral triangle, with a small circle connected to each of the three corners of the triangle, and inside the triangle was a person with wings.

Xia De was stunned, and the corners of Miss Feilian's mouth curled into a smile:

"You recognize it?"

"Yes, but I've only seen it once. I once asked my friends to help me find information about this symbol, but there has never been any information. Let's put it this way: I am very sure that the organization represented by this symbol still existed at least a hundred years before the time point I live in."

Xia De had only one encounter with this strange symbol. In the space behind the hidden wall in the basement of Saint Delan Square, there were some miscellaneous items, and all the medicine bottles among them had this symbol on the bottom.

Through the analysis of the text on the parchment among the miscellaneous items, he understood that someone had entered behind the wall a hundred years ago, but they hadn't been able to come into contact with the Ancient God statue like he had. That organization knew about the "Space Labyrinth" and even found clues to the "Creation Room," so they must know more secrets about the thirteen Ancient Gods. Xia De tried to learn more about the Ancient Gods and the space left behind by the Ancient Gods through the organization represented by this symbol, but no matter what method he used, he couldn't find out what this symbol meant.

"What organization's symbol is this?"

Xia De pointed to the ground and asked.

"Light-Guiding Cult."

Miss Feilian said and explained very patiently. Xia De noticed that her nails were very beautiful; besides special power, the unique charm of witches was also their common characteristic:

"If the 【Xuelingxue Sect】 can be directly classified as bad people, then the 【Light-Guiding Cult】 can be considered good people who lean towards being bad. This group of people are firm doomsday theorists, firmly believing that the doomsday that will destroy the entire world will come one day, so they actively set about preparing ways for themselves and more people to survive the doomsday."

"Doomsday theory? There are actually such people? And such people can pass it down for so many years?"

Xia De was slightly surprised. He originally thought that the organization that could find the hidden space behind his basement was an ambitious person striving to obtain the secrets of the Ancient Gods. And now it sounded more like a group of people whose heads were slightly problematic.

"The inheritance of the 【Light-Guiding Cult】 is extremely ancient. Before the Fifth Era, they believed that the doomsday would definitely come; in the Fifth Era, they believed that the doomsday would definitely come. Since you also found their traces, then after the Fifth Era, they must also be believing that the doomsday will definitely come."

The Moon Witch added from the side:

"Now you might feel that this group of people is ridiculous, but once you really come into contact with them, you will know that their set of rhetoric is very attractive."

Miss Feilian nodded, not caring about the student's interruption:

"Yes, but precisely because of the views of the 【Light-Guiding Cult】, they possess a lot of secret knowledge that others cannot imagine. I recommend this organization because as long as your purpose does not conflict with theirs, they are very willing to trade with strange witches. I cannot guess whether the 【Light-Guiding Cult】 in your time has flourished again or completely declined, but as long as they exist, it's fine."

"How should I find them?"

Xia De asked again. This method was feasible.

"It's a bit difficult, but not without a way. Look for academic groups of ordinary people who advocate doomsday theory. If you can discover that their views and logic are abnormally perfect, then there is a high probability that it is related to the 【Light-Guiding Cult】. The 【Light-Guiding Cult】 has funded similar organizations for many years; this is one of their core principles."

But this way of searching was no different from looking for a needle in a haystack. In the steam era where civilization was prosperous, there were not a few people who were full and had nothing to do and felt that the doomsday would come. Doomsday theory itself was not a rare view.

"Besides this organization, are there any other ways? I only have the last chance to come here. I cannot spend decades looking for this organization and then come to see you after a long wait."

Xia De asked again.

"It seems you are very anxious?"

Miss Feilian smiled and then shook her head:

"Your arrival was originally an unexpected event for us. Even if you didn't appear, we would have other ways—ways with a great price—to forcibly escape from here, but no one wants to see that scene. So, you only need to look as much as possible; if you really can't find it, it doesn't matter."

She pointed to the documents that were being transcribed:

"Letting you look for these documents and information is also to infer the final conditions of the ritual to contact the deity through a better understanding of that deity. The stories of the deity and the power itself may point to the content of the God-Descending Ritual."

Just like the descent ritual of the 【Lord of the Blood Feast】 was related to holding a feast.

Miss Feilian said this, which instead made Xia De feel a little embarrassed. His original intention was not to delay too long on one Time Key, but he also wanted to help Miss Feilian and her party. Miss Feilian being the founder of the Academy was secondary; the key was that she had given Xia De great help last time, and Xia De was not the kind of person who forgot favors.

"I will try my best. Even if I don't find the 【Light-Guiding Cult】 in the end, I can probably try other methods."

Just like spending the last blood coin to let Luweiya divine the content of the ritual. It was difficult for Xia De to evaluate which was more difficult, the ritual to become a Chosen One or the ritual to summon a deity, but as long as there were conditions, Luweiya would certainly be able to divine it.

But this derived another problem: one blood coin was probably not enough.

So, after Xia De went back, he had to do two things at the same time: find the 【Light-Guiding Cult】 and find more blood coins or similar 【Relics】.

The following week became increasingly busy. ===== CHAPTER 306 =====
