On an ordinary day, Trier Red Princess District's City Wall Street slowly woke up in the afternoon sunshine.
There are only a few pedestrians on the streets, which are composed of grand palace-like buildings and ordinary apartment buildings. Intis Sycamore Tree trees are swaying in the breeze. Some of the cafes and restaurants facing the street are already open, while some have their doors closed and their shutters closed. They will not open until the evening when it gets really lively.
Fors Wall, wearing a dress woven with strange materials that reflected colorful light in the sun, sat quietly under the umbrella at the entrance of the cafe. She picked up the soufflé with too much cream and garnished with chopped nuts between her two fingers, and took a careful bite, squinting her eyes as if she hadn't enjoyed dessert for a long time.
After taking another sip of coffee to neutralize the sweetness in her mouth, she spread out the letter paper, picked up the pen and started writing.
"Dear teacher, I am very happy to tell you that I have returned safely from my long journey. Due to the special nature of this trip, I have not been able to contact you for more than a year. Please forgive me.
"Although this journey was not without hardships, it was successfully completed with the help of many friends, and I also achieved my set goal.
"Yes, I have become Angel."
After writing this, Fors smiled slightly and stopped writing temporarily.
The "teacher" in this letter is naturally not Abraham Family's Mr. "Door" Bethel, but her initial introducer and occult mentor, Dorian Abraham. Although Sequence has been left far behind by his own students, the latter is still one of the people Fors respects most.
Of course, this journey was not difficult, rather it was quite smooth. If other Angels knew that I had become Angel in less than two years after being promoted to Sequence 3, and complained to their teachers about the difficulty of the process, they would definitely beat me to death... She muttered in her heart.
Now that Fors has become "Planeswalker", knowing the true secret of the starry sky, he naturally knows that the "door" he is in, Pathway, is currently the most difficult Pathway to be promoted to Angel, not even one of them.
If it weren't for the blessing of Mr. "Fool" who was in charge of Spirit World, and Mr. "Door" who helped her plan the route in advance and avoid any threats to Travel is a star field full of malice. He has also recorded many True God level abilities repeatedly demonstrated by "Goddess of Calamity". I am afraid that he has died in some unknown corner of the universe long ago.
Just inside the Abraham Family, there are many records of "Wanderer" and "Planeswalker" going to the stars to digest Potion and prepare for the ceremony. They were contaminated, lost control, or died suddenly. When Fors saw them before departure, he just thought it was due to the characteristics of Pathway. But after he truly became Angel and understood the truth about the barrier, Outer Deity, and Apocalypse, he understood why the "starry sky" was so scary.
If I had backed down at that time, I would have completely lost the chance to become Angel, right? Although the respected Mr. "Fool" said that he could provide "Miracle Invoker" and "fate Trojan Horse" of Adjacent Pathways, I did not make any more contributions... Fors shook his head, gathered his thoughts, and continued to write:
"The various anecdotes I have seen during the journey, as well as the many star field information collected, will be further summarized and handed over to you as a supplement to the Abraham Family knowledge base. After the blood curse has disappeared, the family will surely have more Saint and Angel born, and they will need this information...
"Of course, I will not record some dangerous content, please rest assured."
She did not intend to hide these things outside the barrier from her teacher Dorian, because Abraham Family had many Saint and Angel as early as Fourth Epoch left the planet, went to the depths of the starry sky Travel and returned successfully. After deleting "Outer Deity" and other key parts that would cause pollution, their knowledge and summary have been well known to other family members and are not a secret that cannot be told.
Compared with other people who are still in the steam age and whose understanding of the starry sky is limited to Sun and Moon, who only know that they are on a planet, Abraham Family's understanding of the world is advanced. They know that there are galaxies outside the galaxy, with highly developed civilizations, and that the universe is so vast that even "Travel" cannot reach the end.
Unfortunately, this knowledge is also a curse, causing more than one family member Saint and Angel to be contaminated and die. The "Box of the Great Old Ones" that was stolen by the traitor and returned to its original owner was a combination of the characteristics of the "Planeswalker" that died suddenly after the return of a Travel and his favorite Jewelry Box, and was also mixed with some unknown power.
This made the Abrahams dare not study the starry sky and other civilization information carefully after the decline of the family, and could only seal them up. Otherwise, many advanced inventions may not have been proposed by that Emperor Roselle, but by a certain Abraham.
Thinking of this, she looked up at City Wall Street, which was named after Roselle expanded the east wall in front of the Trier City area. Her eyes swept over these luxurious or simple buildings, and finally stopped on the golden roof of a church in the distance.
That is the church of the "Eternal Blazing Sun" church in Red Princess District. Four large bell towers surround the perfect round golden ball symbolizing Sun, which shines brightly in the sun. However, the huge Sun Holy Emblem originally hung at the highest point has been taken down, and a cross has been erected above the golden ball.
This is one of the countless surprising changes in Intis and Church of the Eternal Blazing Sun in the past two years.
Long before Fors left this planet for interstellar roaming, she heard that Sun Church no longer used extremely violent methods to spread beliefs and suppress heretics as before, but had greatly reduced its activities and became much more "moderate".
The Honorific Name of God has also been modified to a certain extent. It only points to the concept of "Sun". The holy emblem has also been changed from the previous appearance to a cross that emits light above and is shrouded in shadow below. This symbol used to be one of the sacrificial symbols recorded by Holy Bible, but now it has replaced them all and become the only symbol of "Eternal Blazing Sun".
Fors, who has already learned in Tarot Club that "Eternal Blazing Sun" fell and his power was seized by "True Creator", can guess the reasons for these changes.
Of course, this inevitably led to the wavering of believers who originally believed in God. In various places in Intis, especially in rural areas where the faith was weak, many cultists who could not be caught and killed began to preach the "Great Existence" they believed in. In some cities, a large number of Blazing Sun believers began to convert to God of Steam and Machinery, or the "Church of the Fool" who only appeared in the past two years and focused on the welfare of the people at the bottom, and the "The End Church" who encouraged each other to help each other when Apocalypse and Catastrophe were about to come.
But even so, these dominant churches did not take the initiative to snatch Church of the Eternal Blazing Sun believers, as if they had some concerns or a tacit understanding.
Of course they have a tacit understanding... Fors chuckled, but immediately stopped smiling and looked around, as if he was worried about being spied on. His eyes even stayed for a long time on a decorative mirror that looked deep and dark in the shadow, before he picked up the pen again and continued to write:
"... Speaking of the promotion of family members, teacher, you should have become 'Scribe' and digested a considerable degree of Potion. Is there any hope of becoming 'Traveler' in the near future? The new generation Abraham have not grown up yet and still need the help of experienced elders. I think you can touch the threshold of Demigod within three years."
Fors knows that with the advice of her newly promoted Angel, Dorian can definitely gain resources within the family and become "Secrets Sorcerer", knocking on the door of half-human Demigod. Although this is a consideration she wrote in her letter, it is more of her own selfishness:
She hopes that the teacher can have a longer life and continue to live after Apocalypse.
After writing this sentence, she folded the letter paper and stuffed it into an unmarked envelope, then summoned her own Spirit World messenger and asked it to send the letter to her teacher.
Watching this delicate, arm-sized doll carrying the envelope back to Spirit World, Fors closed her eyes with satisfaction. When she opened it again the next second, the afternoon sunshine, the spacious streets and the mellow coffee around her had all disappeared, leaving only the half-eaten soufflé between her fingers.
This "Planeswalker" is currently at the foot of a huge palace, bathed in the orange-red light of dusk, and what is heard in his ears is the sound of conversation that requires biting the tongue to pronounce words, like the crazy words of a drunkard.
In an instant, she went from a street cafe in Intis's capital Trier to the landmark building "Twilight Giant Hall" in the Feysac Empire Saint Millon.
This is not the first time Fors has come here. She had come here several times to digest "Scribe" and "Traveler" Potion, but this was the first time after the war in which Feysac invaded Loen.
This residence of God, built on a mountain peak and composed of countless huge walls, towering towers and magnificent palaces, is said to be the divine kingdom of God of Combat in Fourth Epoch. After God no longer walked in reality, it became the headquarters of God of War Church.
But compared to the last time Fors visited, Twilight Giant Hall's dusk light, which was always the same during the day and night, seemed a bit dim, and the sky above the majestic building was faintly shrouded in black velvet-like gauze, like the end of dusk that was about to be dispersed by night.
This means that Evernight Goddess has more deeply grasped the power of "Twilight"... Fors did not dare to look further, feeling a tiring light enveloped itself, and the figure quickly disappeared from Feysac people, whose average height was more than two meters, and could almost be pulled up and used as a stick.
In just a few minutes, she was in Lenburg's capital Azshara's Knowledge Temple, Feneport City's Mother Church, Gargas Archipelago White City Iconic locations such as 's whale ship, West Bayam Matani Bond's Inverted Pyramid Ruins appear, and even Bayam's "Red Theater" is not spared.
People with different skin colors, different styles of clothing, strange-shaped buildings, majestic natural landscapes... Various pictures flashed before Fors's eyes. They were superimposed on each other, and finally allowed this traveler who had been traveling for more than a year and was promoted to Angel to re-establish a solid connection with the world.
Instead of looking for an acquaintance, she wrote a letter to her teacher Dorian for this reason. If he appeared directly in front of the other party, Fors would firstly be worried that he would frighten the other party more than surprise, and secondly, he would be afraid that his own state would not be stable enough, which would have some adverse effects on Dorian.
It should be fine now... Her thoughts flashed, and the scene around her changed again. A sofa with a coat and trousers casually draped on it, a coffee table with a few empty lunch boxes on it, an easy chair with a blanket but no one was using it, and a half-wary, half-surprised face all appeared in Fors's sight.
"You're back?"
Wearing casual clothes, Xio Derecha, who is short in stature but carries a kind of majesty that makes people admire him, jumped up from the carpet next to the coffee table. The surprise on his face flashed and turned into confusion.
"Are you already...Angel?"
With her ability of "Arbiter" High Sequence, she can feel the subtle difference between the friend in front of her and when she left her a year ago.
"Well, although it was very difficult, I still succeeded... After my promotion, I came back to see you as soon as possible. Are you a little touched?"
Fors put aside the fact that he immediately went to Trier to enjoy dessert and asked confidently.
"A little bit..."
Xio originally wanted to hug each other, but when he raised his hands, he felt a little embarrassed. He put them down angrily and said as if to change the subject:
"A lot of things happened during the more than a year since you were gone."
"Well, I can guess, for example, you have been promoted to 'Chaos Hunter' from Sequence 3?"
Fors pulled up the easy chair and sat on it, directly revealing the "surprise" that his friend wanted to give him, and then learned about many events that he had missed during the communication with the other party.
Apart from the changes in the world situation, what she is most concerned about is naturally the development of everyone in "Tarot Club".
Before she left, "Justice" Miss was promoted to "Dream Weaver", and now she is preparing a long and complicated Sequence 2 Promotion Ritual, On the one hand, he secretly guides the domestic situation of Loen, using his public identity and the power of "Spectator" to promote the Southern Continent independence movement and influence the people's views on this major event that may change the world.
With her efforts, the North Continent countries headed by Loen have been negotiating treaties to peacefully withdraw from the Southern Continent and many colonies in the archipelago while retaining most of their economic interests. The Balam kingdom of the Southern Continent and Highlands Kingdom are likely to be restored in this liberation movement, and they seem to believe in a real emperor...
"Hanged Man" and "Sun" have been spreading the faith of Fool, which includes the branch "Sea God" church, while Hanged Man is temporarily unable to obtain " In the realm of "Calamity" characteristics, I chose a copy of the "Profane Presbyter" characteristics owned by Tarot Club, and planned to jump to "Hanged Man" Pathway, becoming Angel commensurate with my brand name.
With the help of "Goddess of Calamity", this is easier than promoting Sequence 2 to "Calamity".
As for Mr. "Sun", because Church of the Fool is busy with internal affairs, he still stays at Sequence 3, using the process of preaching to digest Potion.
Mr. "Moon" and Mr. "Star" are both responsible for the important affairs of their respective churches, and have been promoted to Sequence 3. This is the same as Qidian originally is undoubtedly very conspicuous among the churches Beyonder, which may be related to their connection with "Fool" and "Goddess of Calamity".
It is said that Ms. "Hermit" has already digested Potion from Sequence 3, but has never been able to wait for the opportunity to be promoted to "Sage". However, even so, the reputation of "Queen of Stars" has long been spread in Above the Five Seas.
"Judgment" Xiuze obtained Sequence 3's Potion formula and Beyonder Characteristic from Tarot Club before Loen Military knew about it. Sequence was even higher than his boss.
"Chariot" Miss, who finally joined Tarot Club, rarely participated in discussions and had the most mysterious identity. However, in nearly two years of getting along, everyone still confirmed that the other party was "Hunter" Pathway's High Sequence Beyonder, and this Pathway will be forced to become a male when promoted to High Sequence, so Xio has always guessed that she has used some kind of ability to change her external gender.
As for Mr. "World"... Thinking of this, Fors was a little surprised, but also a little relieved. Many of his original guesses and his enlightenment after being promoted to Sequence 2 were confirmed.
Of course, this matter is no longer a secret within Tarot Club, among the top management of "The End Church" and "Church of the Fool".
In front of Xio, Fors recited "Goddess of Calamity", which is Honorific Name of "Empress" Miss.
"Misfortune and the Terminator of the dispute, Empress of Wielding Chaos, the origin of Mirror World..."
After a pause, many sad things naturally emerged in her mind, suppressing the ever-rising corners of her mouth, and then continued to read the last sentence:
"...Lord of Mysteries's eternal companion."
