"Dream Festival"... It sounds like some traditional local festival, but in fact it is a "party" where some force forces Dream Invasion to release his negative emotions in a dream, not to mention that it may endanger his life... Angel muttered and wrote down the name.
Seeing Angel bowing his head in silence, Sia Palenque Eggers continued to tell her the many clues Numinous Episcopate had collected over the past year, most of which were reasonable speculations and wild imaginations. After all, the real "Dream Festival" was only held once after Numinous Episcopate noticed the anomaly of Tizamo Town.
"So, many of these conclusions are just speculation and not facts?"
Thinking of this, Angel frowned and asked.
"It's a reasonable speculation based on the current situation, and part of it has been verified by the last Dream Festival," Shia tilted the crown on her head and replied with a smile, "There is a think tank behind me."
In fact, there are brains behind me, they are Klein, Sherlock, Gehrman, Dawn and Merlin... Looking at "Pale Empress" who was smiling like he was showing off, Angel curled his lips and nodded:
"I will go to Tizamo Town at the start of Dream Festival."
After receiving her promise, Shia's expression completely relaxed and she said:
"The Numinous Episcopate members lurking in the town will contact you. If any clues about 'Death' are found in Dream Festival, I hope Numinous Episcopate can also get a copy. Other than that, all other gains will be yours, including the possible Beyonder Characteristic."
In fact, you didn't even expect there to be any Beyonder Characteristic there, and "River Styx" is not something you can come into contact with now... Angel smiled secretly and turned to look at Azik, who had been listening:
"Mr. Azik, I think Dream Festival can be participated by me alone this time. The power of 'River Styx' there may have an impact on you."
This "Death Consul" of Fourth Epoch is very aware of the horror of Sefirah pollution. He did not reject Angel's kindness, but said in a probing tone:
"During this period, I will go to several places I was interested in before to look for the traces left by my father, Death Salinger, but I will not be too far away from Tizamo Town.
"This might be of some help to you."
Help... Because Salinger once accommodated "Red Priest" Uniqueness, does He think this is related to my subsequent promotion choice? Angel was stunned and felt warm in his heart.
At this moment, Sia Eggers said:
"If you are interested in the clues left by Death, I do know a location where Pylos Port goes deep into the inland and Raklev Region that enters Star Plateau has a large number of people who believe in Death until now. And... recently many believers of the evil god have sneaked in there, seemingly looking for something."
"Lakre of the Highlands Kingdom..." Azik repeated softly, seeming to evoke memories deep in his mind, "Father often goes there, maybe he really hides some of his secrets..."
Angel's memory of this place only stays in the internal information of the church. He knows that Highlands Kingdom was controlled by the Balam Empire as early as Fourth Epoch. It existed independently for nearly a thousand years after the fall of Death. It was completely defeated by the North Continent countries that opened the waterway and became a colony of the Feysac Empire.
Now that Feysac was defeated and God of War Church actually fell into the control of Goddess, many organizations under the banner of restoration have appeared in the original Highlands Kingdom, and there are even forces from the original Balam Empire, making people doubt the role of "Numinous Episcopate" in this.
If Numinous Episcopate has begun to accept the control of "Death", then this is equivalent to Goddess directing behind the scenes to drive away the colonists of Feysac and Intis... Reinette Tinekerr was the Princess of the Highlands Kingdom during his lifetime., this person in front of me is Princess of the Balam Empire, and even Bernadette is Princess of Intis... Tsk, these are all worldly identities... I am also Guardian Angel of "Dream City"...
Angel's thoughts were a little wandering until Azik and Shia agreed to go to Raklev City together. The latter straightened the crown and regained his arrogant attitude. After Spirit World left, he gathered his thoughts and looked at the smiling "Death Consul".
"Be safe, it's best to pray to Goddess for help before going to Tizamo. I'm waiting for you to go together to find the secrets left by my father."
Azik warned.
Angel took a deep breath, nodded to express understanding, and watched the elder walk into Spirit World, which was as rich in color as a watercolor painting, just like he had done countless times before.
Underground Area arrived at the hotel on a novel mechanical elevator driven by high-pressure steam and gear sets. Angel found the high-end suite he had booked and entered the luxurious living room without windows, but it did not feel cramped and dull.
She did not want to experience Balam Empire's architectural design style of "going deep underground and approaching death", but just wanted to have a place where she could pray to Goddess.
"In the colony of the Intis Kingdom, within the coverage area of Eternal Blazing Sun faith, I hid in the 'Death' faith building transformed by steam and machinery and prayed to Goddess. It always felt weird, as if I had blasphemed every God... I wouldn't be struck to death by a bolt of lightning... Well, that's what Lord of Storms likes to do."
Listening to the low noise of gear meshing and steam gushing faintly from inside the wall, Angel muttered a few words silently, his eyes flashed, and a set of ritual candles, essential oils and herbs belonging to Evernight Goddess's field appeared on the round table in front of him, automatically forming a very formal altar.
Those are the items she hid in Mirror World. Of course, devout Goddess believers must carry these tools with them.
Quickly completing the preliminaries of the ceremony, Angel lowered his head and closed his eyes while reciting Honorific Name of Goddess. He was about to meet Azik and Xiya. A complete report was given to God, including the two conditions for Shia to hand over "Pale Crown" and her plan to go to Tizamo to participate in "Dream Festival".
Before she could finish speaking, the deep Evernight sky dotted with countless stars flashed in front of her, and a piece of information unknowingly appeared in her mind.
Inspired, she quickly took off "Hidden Holy Emblem" from her wrist and placed it in the center of the altar surrounded by candles and various plant powders.
It is not as flamboyant as when "Fool" bestows power and items. Just the breeze blows, and the pale and dark mist changes repeatedly. The surface of the Holy Emblem with the dark red light shining inside has a layer of velvety soft black, making the surface of the Holy Emblem blurry and the outline dim, as if part of it has entered Spirit World, and part of it remains in reality.
Without divination, Angel was sure that the power of this holy emblem had been enhanced again, and its connection with herself was even closer, completely becoming her exclusive "Sealed Artifact".
That is the gift of Goddess.
"If we only consider the short-term, field-specific effects, such as resistance to Dream Invasion, such as the power of concealment and deep sleep, it is almost already a '0' level Sealed Artifact, at least it will not be too different in terms of position... Is this prepared by Goddess in advance for 'Dream Festival'?"
Angel took back the "Hidden Holy Emblem", whose surface was cold and soft, as if it were touching soft and smooth skin, and put it back on his left wrist. Only then did he have time to review and interpret the information that appeared in his mind.
During the prayer, Evernight Goddess allowed Angel's trip to "Dream Festival", but he needed to wear the Holy Emblem given extra power by Him. Angel guesses that this Mystical Item is equivalent to the strengthened belief Anchor, which allows Goddess to pay attention to the situation in reality and dreams at any time.
"This may be related to 'River of Eternal Darkness'... He who has collected all Beyonder Characteristic and Uniqueness can't wait to get in touch with Sefirah and gain the qualification to be promoted to Great Old One?"
Angel muttered silently, packed up the altar, threw the sacrificial items back to Mirror World, and paced back and forth in the spacious living room.
In addition, Goddess did not refuse the request of "Pale Empress" Sia Eggers, which means that he agreed, but he protected Eggers Family and allowed it The prerequisite for its continued struggle to get rid of the colonists and restore the original territory of the Balam Empire is that the monarchy is not allowed to appear again, and the blood descendants of the Eggers Family can only maintain Sequence 2 at best.
"Because Sequence 1's 'Pale Emperor' plus Eggers Family's bloodline can easily resurrect the 'Death' Salinger who has fallen but has not completely disappeared? In that case, Uniqueness of Death pathway may be affected by the former God, just like 'Red Priest' Uniqueness can still sense the breath of Alistar Tudor...
"Does this mean that Goddess has not really accommodated Uniqueness of 'Death', and the same is probably true for 'God of Combat'...'Great Old One's promotion process does not first accommodate all Adjacent Pathways's Uniqueness and one Sequence 1 Characteristic, but first contacts and accommodates Sefirah?
"Roselle thinks that 'Death' is in the right direction but in the wrong order. Is this what you are referring to? Of course, the real reason why He couldn't wait to accommodate the contaminated 'Red Priest' Uniqueness without first defeating God of Combat and Evernight Goddess..."
After gathering his thoughts, Angel told "Fool" Klein the same content through prayer. The latter is most likely still sleeping underground under Yarnam City, but Gray Fog The "Worm of Spirit" on duty above E will convey the information to the other party. Angel is not worried about Klein missing "Dream Festival".
Of course, from a security perspective, it is the best choice to wait until Klein is promoted to "Mystic Seer" in these two months and further master the power of Sefirah Castle before exploring Dream Festival. The problem is that this "party" in the dream only happens once a year. If you miss December 15, 1351, three days later, you will have to wait until the end of 1352. There are too many variables.
Fortunately, even if Sequence 1 is not promoted, Klein, who is above Gray Fog, can still provide King of Angel-level help. With Goddess's constant attention, Angel believes that he will not face much danger unless God comes in person.
In the evening, Angel, who was lying in the coffin, felt a ray of orange-red sunlight shining on her face. She opened her eyes, pushed open the coffin board with only a crack exposed, raised her body, and looked around.
A small town surrounded by rubber trees, laurel trees and other cash crops exudes the alluring smell of spices in the sunset.
