Angel Gray is a little confused. If Orville is, as he guessed, Marionette City used by Zarathus to be promoted to "Mystic Seer", why is there no official information or even any information within the intelligence agency Secret Order?

You must know that Klein is building "Yarnam City" so that it can actually appear after Physical World. In order for it to appear in the corresponding area in Spirit World as soon as possible, it does not prevent the city from communicating with the outside world and does not allow Marionette to hide from others. Come on, during the "show time" of several months, far more normal people than Marionettes came to visit and play in that city successively, including people from nearby New City of Silver and "Hope City", ships and tourists passing by the Berserk Sea, and intelligence personnel from many countries.

After many travel notes were published and a lot of information was put on the table of official agencies, Yarnam City is no longer a secret.

But "Orville" seems to only stay in the minds of Church of Steam executives.

One possibility is that the city itself is a secret place that officials are reluctant to mention. For example, City of Exile like Molora is isolated from the world and keeps certain secrets, and is then exploited by Zarathus., replacing the real people with Marionette, or directly making them into Marionette. According to Klein's speculation and Zarathus's character, it is probably the latter...

Another possibility is that after Zarathus used Antigonus Family Notebook to steal the unaccommodated "Mystic Seer" characteristics from the depths of Mist Town, God of Steam was happy to see him promoted to Sequence 1, and even hoped that he would soon become "Fool", became "Lord of Mysteries", lifted the seal of the Western Continent, and released those Sefirah, so the existence of "Orville" was deliberately concealed, otherwise Amon should not mind getting a copy of the adjacent Sequence 1 in advance E's Beyonder Characteristic... This incident is even more traceable. For example, after Zarathus cooperated with Roselle, God of Steam took advantage of the situation and had the notes stored in the church "stolen", which indirectly helped Zarathus find Sequence 1 Characteristic, just like the tacit understanding between Evernight and Adam on "0-08"; another example is the unusual relationship between Zarathus and Roselle. Until the death of the former, the last thing captured from Historical Void was the projection of the latter...

Of course, after he was successfully promoted to "Mystic Seer", he greedily tried to enter the second characteristics of Mist Town Stealing again and Uniqueness, but was Evernight Goddess shut down Imprisonment, and Physical World's body fell into madness due to the separation of consciousness, until it was accidentally released by Klein. That is another story...

Regardless of the possibility, God of Steam should know the existence of "Orville", and Eternal Blazing Sun has a small probability of knowing...

Thoughts kept flashing in Gray's mind, and his eyes swept over the three Angel present, and finally stopped at Viève, who was sitting upright with his waist straight and his abdomen drawn, his figure well outlined by the slim white robe, and he said in a serious tone:

"Zarathus appeared during the 'Hidden Sage' extermination campaign and tried to obstruct the operation. It has been determined that he cooperates with Outer Deity and is a traitor to the entire world.

"After finding Zarathus's real body in Historical Void and killing him, we found that one of the characteristics of 'Miracle Invoker' was missing. This is probably the means of his resurrection, and this is related to the two names 'Orville' and 'Dilan'.

"If Mr. Bornova's information is correct, then the resurrection of Zarathus is likely to be related to Marionette Town, who was promoted to Sequence 1, and is located in the territory of Intis. Of course, it is definitely no longer in the same place now. I hope that the two major churches can cooperate and provide help to find the means of his resurrection and destroy the last possibility of his resurrection.

"This is not the 'Miracle Invoker' who is worried about a Sequence 2, but a Great Existence that no one wants to be resurrected, and who can be further revived or have an impact with the help of him."

Speaking of this, Gray noticed that Viève's pair of jade-green eyes were brighter than usual, as if there was pure sunlight shining through them.

He responded in a somewhat illusory and erratic tone:

"The great Eternal Blazing Sun is already aware of this matter. Sun Church will assist churches in various places. If the Miracle Invoker is found, he will be notified to you as soon as possible."

Gray nodded and said:

"Glaide Sauron will cooperate with you at that time to kill Him."

"Weakness Detection" and "Harvest" with high-level Hunter can effectively deal with a Angel who has Marionette and Historical Projection, and is hidden in the dark. This is somewhat similar to High Sequence Witch, but there are subtle differences.

The destruction of Demoness triggers the imbalance of the target from the inside out and destroys the target. Hunter uses extremely powerful attacks to defeat the target from the outside to the inside.

Of course, both Gray and Angel have the power of Dual Pathways, which can combine the characteristics of two Pathway to bring final destruction to the target, which is stronger than any single Pathway and Angel.

Glaide, who was secretly evaluated as "not strong enough", nodded calmly, knowing that this was an opportunity for the Sauron Family to repair the relationship with the two major churches.

Maybe after she becomes God, or even takes the lead to become "Great Old One", Intis will have Three Great Churches, and I will have the opportunity to become "Conqueror" again. After all, Great Old One All we need is one copy of Sequence 1 Characteristic... No, maybe there were still only two major churches at that time... Thinking of this, Glaide turned his head and glanced at Saint Viève, who was attending the meeting on behalf of Church of the Eternal Blazing Sun, and noticed that his bright eyes dimmed again.

Also looking at Him and noticing this was Angel Gray.

"Eternal Blazing Sun" already knows about this? Wouldn't that God just listen to our conversation with the help of his Angel? He will indeed be concerned about the possibility of "Celestial Worthy"'s resurrection, even more than he is concerned about the threat to himself from "True Creator"... No, I can't think about it any more, even though I have the protection of "Fool", There are also some "Original Creator Masculine Aspect" personalities, but they may not be able to resist the prying eyes of the strongest "Spectator"... Gray quickly gathered his thoughts and said:

"Before taking action to suppress the followers of 'Primordial Moon', I hope to understand the attitudes of the two major churches towards 'Fool'.

"I believe you all know that soon, 'Error' Amon will compete with 'Fool' for the sole position of Above the Sequence."

She was talking about "church", but she was actually asking about the corresponding Two Gods. The opinions of Angel, Viève and Bornova, who are "Eternal Blazing Sun" and "God of Steam", represent the true attitude of Two Gods.

According to the analysis of "Fool" Klein, it is quite possible that God of Steam will be on his side. After all, he just got "Hermit" Pathway's Uniqueness not long ago and inherited a favor; and Eternal Blazing Sun, in order to prevent the strength of Grisha and Amon father and son, will most likely be inclined to let Klein become "Lord of Mysteries".

But if this former "White Angel", like God of Wisdom Herabergen, only wants to live in a lowered status and become the resurrected Ancient Sun God's King of Angel, then maybe he will take a good position in advance and help Amon...

Sure enough, the first person to speak was Bornova.

"This is Mr. Fool."

His words were concise and his tone was firm, without any wavering.

Gray's eyes returned to Viève.

This devout believer looked directly into Gray's eyes and said steadily:

"The proud 'Sun' cannot tolerate a little darkness and will not succumb to the shadows. I hope that the new God can repay His help in the future."

It means that "Eternal Blazing Sun" is not prepared to cooperate with "True Creator" who represents the shadow and corrupt authority, and will help "Fool" Klein, But I also hope that everyone will form a united front in the future to help him fight against his old master... But, can "Sun" really not tolerate a little shadow... Gray thought secretly, nodded and said:

"Thank you for your words."

Then, she returned to the topic:

"In addition to Zarathus, there is another Angel who is suspected to be Blessed. He originally believed in Hidden Sage and is Chairman and 'Ten Pillars', the deputy of Moses Ascetic Order One of 's, Letitia known as 'Dragon Scholar'. After Hidden Sage was contaminated by 'Mother Goddess of Depravity', he most likely became Outer Deity's servant."

"He didn't die fighting you?"

Glaide asked in a teasing tone, the meaning was obvious: Is there anyone alive under your hands?

"Dead, but not completely dead," Gray replied with a chuckle, without any shame at all. After all, it was not her who was fighting in "Ideal Land" at that time, but another Angel. "He was suspected of being reborn through some kind of resurrection method, and Beyonder Characteristic was not left behind. I suspected that it was related to his research on dragons, so I did some investigation."

"In Moses Ascetic Order's information, there are currently three ancient dragons in existence, but according to the investigation, the information about one of them is false. It is probably a 'legend' made up by 'Dragon Scholar' in order to make some kind of magic he created work."

In fact, this information was not investigated by Gray, but Tarot Club's "Justice" Miss accepted "Chariot" Miss's commission, taking advantage of Psychology Alchemists's interest in Mind Dragon, and used her connections to verify the authenticity of the dragon information she bought.

Among them, although "Ariehogg" and "Edefana" are hidden in Sea of Collective Subconscious, and their true identities are rare to see, they have corresponding traces and legends left behind. However, "Lumingweis" only has clues passed down by word of mouth. Even the village of the Feysac Empire, which was legendary to be destroyed by it, was found to be fabricated after investigation.

There is no doubt that this is the false information spread by "Dragon Scholar", which is used as the basis for the magic he created based on the legend of the dragon's resurrection after death to take effect.

With this clue, it is not particularly difficult to find the location of Letitia, and it can be carried out together with the task of finding Zarathus. Therefore, the three Angels agreed and prepared to use the power of the two major churches and Sauron Family to conduct searches in various places.

After all, this is also a Beyonder Characteristic from Sequence 2 or a Grade 0 Sealed Artifact. As usual, first come first served.

Seeing that the reservation was almost finished, Angel Gray moved his body on the single sofa, assumed a more comfortable position, and asked in a chatty tone:

"Have you heard of 'Tree of Shadow'?"

The three Angel looked at each other. Glaide and Bornova both shook their heads. Viève said in a cold voice:

"Among the evil god believers who have appeared recently, a group of believers who believe in Mother Tree of Desire have mentioned the 'sacred tree'. They call themselves 'Tree Worship Sect' and believe that Great Existence does not come from far away. The distant starry sky, but the core of the planet, the huge Tree of Shadow will grow out of the ground, and their mission is to provide nutrients for it, and when the final day comes, they can use this contribution to obtain Redemption."

Glaide sneered and commented:

"It sounds like Outer Deity. Is this the new code name for 'Mother Tree of Desire', just like 'Primordial Moon'?"

Bornova also nodded in agreement.

During the World War period, after the fall of "God of Combat", due to the lack of a God support, the barrier became further fragile, and more Outer Deity power penetrated into the interior. More people were bewitched and became believers of these Great Existence, and gradually spread their faith and made sacrifices to obtain gifts. Recently, Saint level gifters have begun to appear, causing huge trouble to official Beyonder everywhere.

In order to deceive others, Great Old One people will not spread their beliefs with their own Honorific Name, but will use the names of gods related to authority and symbols, such as "Great Mother", "Disease God", "First Philosophy" and other beliefs that sound much more normal make it difficult for "Purifiers" and "Machinery Hivemind" to distinguish them from those false beliefs that engage in fraud.

Therefore, those who believe in the "sacred tree" did not pay attention immediately.

After listening to Viève's explanation, Angel Gray shook his head and said:

"What Tree Worship Sect believes in is indeed 'Mother Tree of Desire', but 'Tree of Shadow' is not false, but a sacred tree that is truly planted underground in Trier.

"It was planted as early as Fourth Epoch that Trier was destroyed by war and pollution, and the new Trier was not yet built. The nourishment of Oldest One came from the Devil Family who also believed in Outer Deity. For more than a thousand years, it has used joy and Indulgence to nourish the people of New Trier, allowing the city to gradually develop in the direction desired by the Great Old One who symbolizes desire. The desire formed by the depravity and enjoyment of Trier people has also nourished it in turn, making this Tree of Shadow grow continuously."

The expressions of the two Angels who were protecting the city changed a bit. They glanced at each other, obviously not understanding the matter at all.

Only Glaide Sauron, who had been sealed in Underground Mausoleum since Fourth Epoch, and had not been released until now, let out a loud sneer, leaned on the back of the sofa indifferently, crossed his legs, and said leisurely:

"I have long felt that something was wrong with this city. It gave me too much humanity. Even after the war, it did not change its previous Indulgence and luxury. It was like being controlled by an invisible hand.

"But it seems that even the church doesn't know about this. How did you know?"

Gray did not hide anything and explained:

"In Four Emperors War, Mr. "Gate" Bethel Abraham noticed that the most powerful Devil Family participated in the melee before he was exiled by Two Gods who participated in the war, and then summoned the "Abyss". This war should have nothing to do with them.

"After King of Angel returned to reality some time ago, he once again visited the new Trier and discovered many problems with the help of the authority he once had and can now partially use.

"Even if Trier has not truly become a corrupt, Indulgence city, this 'Tree of Shadow' that has been growing without interference for thousands of years has been deeply connected with it and all the people living in it. It is equivalent to the Dark Side of the entire city., and once 'Mother Tree of Desire' is needed, it can be completely activated at any time in the form of sacrifice, absorbing all nutrients. The crown of the tree penetrates into Astral World, and the roots penetrate deep into the seal of Fourth Epoch that Trier.

"When defeating the followers of 'Primordial Moon' and eradicating the influence of Outer Deity within the barrier, we must also solve the problem of 'Tree of Shadow', otherwise Trier will cause a huge Catastrophe death of more than a million people."

And those are all believers of God whom you two serve - Viève and Bornova understood the seriousness of the matter without making such a straightforward threat.

"We will start dealing with it immediately."

As Guardian Angel, this month's rotating Trier, Viève said with a serious expression on behalf of the two major churches.

It's best... Gray nodded slightly and glanced at Viève, as if he was looking at the God behind him.
