Vice Admiral Iceberg's Great Discovery

"Well done, you're already at Sequence 4."

Captain's Cabin, Luther glanced at Anderson and said with a smile.

"No, no, no, I'm still far from being as good as the captain." Anderson personally placed the freshly squeezed lemonade on Luther's table, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Captain, I feel your Spirituality has become heavier, is it...?"

"Yes, you guessed right."

Luther said, "I have successfully advanced to Sequence 3."

Upon hearing this, Anderson couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Too fast...

When they first met, the other was only Sequence 5 like himself. But now, he has reached the pinnacle of the extraordinary world of the Northern and Southern Continents. The good news is that the other is his boss, and the stronger he becomes, the better it is for him.

Furthermore, the captain is Senior Deacon of the Church of Evernight, and has multiple powerful factions backing him...

He quickly adjusted his mindset and a smile appeared on his face.

"That's amazing! No wonder you're the captain! Now that you've advanced to Sequence 3, shouldn't the Church of Evernight promote you further?"

"Promotion is impossible; I've already left the Church."

"Oh, so you've already left the church... Ah?"

Anderson casually repeated Luther's words, but only halfway through before realizing what he'd said and exclaiming in surprise, "Captain, are you kidding me?"

"I'm not kidding, I was really annoyed by the way the Evernight Goddess and her minions acted, so I left."

Luther answered calmly, his tone nonchalant, as if he had just bought a pie on the street.

Anderson fell silent.

That's the Church of Evernight, not some street club or hobby group where you can join and leave as you please. "Captain, is your withdrawal in accordance with the proper procedures? They won't send Red Gloves to hunt us down, will they?"

He asked uneasily.

"Look at you, you dare to be Hunter?"

Luther glanced at Anderson. "Don't worry, they won't come."

After offering some Soothing, he changed the subject to a new one.

"By the way, how's the 'Blood God' faith that I asked you to spread going?"

"It's alright, at least for now, the islanders on those remote islands already know the Honorific Name of that deity."

Anderson replied, "As for the extent of faith involved, that's hard to say."

In other words, we're currently in the first stage: spreading the Honorific Name and gaining attention. People only know that such a deity exists; they haven't yet begun to sincerely believe in him/her.

Luther seemed to be deep in thought.

"However, Captain, as the faith spreads, this Honorific Name has gradually become known. The Church of Storms of the Sonia Sea has taken notice and is organizing a search. If we continue our missionary work, we may be caught and exposed."

Anderson continued.

As missionary work expands, such exposure becomes unavoidable. For most religious groups, in order to maintain Concealment, they should stop expanding at this point and instead focus on building a strong following, managing their organization, and elevating their faith.

"It doesn't matter."

Luther thought for a moment and said, "Continue preaching, and expand its reach."

"Captain, if we keep doing this, we'll really be discovered!"

"It doesn't matter if they find out; they won't spare much energy to deal with us."

Luther dismissed it, saying, "Feysac is constantly invading, and their main adversary is still to the north; those enemies alone are enough to cause them trouble."

The war has kept the Loen government busy, and not only various underground organizations, but also many locals in the colony are restless and want to take the opportunity to break away from Loen's rule.

"Furthermore, the scope of our missionary work no longer needs to be limited to the Sonia Sea; it can be expanded outwards, for example, to the Southern Continent where the faith in the Seven Gods is weak," he continued, looking at Anderson. "Contact the Church of Knowledge in your area and see if they can offer any assistance."

Spreading the faith will be Luther's main goal for the foreseeable future. He hopes that the Honorific Name of the Blood God will also spread in the Southern Continent, where there is a lack of faith in the Seven Gods. Anderson had previously told him that the Church of Knowledge also had a presence in the Southern Continent.

"Understood, I will relay that to them."

Anderson paused for a moment, then said, "But Captain, this is a matter of faith, and I can't guarantee they'll agree."

"It's okay, just tell me."

Luther said nonchalantly, picked up his lemonade, took a sip, and then frowned slightly.

Not enough sugar...

He put down his cup, looked at Anderson who had offered no objection, and suddenly laughed.

"So, you just accepted my order so easily to spread a strange Honorific Name among the islands... didn't you have any doubts before?"

"How could I dare..."

Anderson gave a wry smile.

In fact, he had some guesses about the Honorific Name "God of Blood and Shadows." Judging from the description of the Honorific Name alone, this deity possessed authority over at least two realms: "Flesh" and "shadow." Even if his knowledge of occultism wasn't very profound, he knew very well that these two authority belonged to one of the oldest evil gods, the True Creator!

This so-called Blood God is attempting to seize power and authority from the True Creator!

Considering their captain is a Secrets Suppliant Pathway doesn't believe in True Creator... there might be a terrifying, god-like secret hidden within!

The matter involved the True God, Anderson's instinct for survival made him forcefully suppress his curiosity.

"You're quite a smart guy."

Luther couldn't help but smile, then said, "In any case, the next step is to find a way to spread our mission to the Southern Continent."

"Yes, Captain. I'll contact the liaison for the Church of Knowledge right away."

Anderson agreed, pulling a pale yellow Parchment from his pocket. The top of the parchment was decorated with mysterious symbols and patterns, giving it a very enigmatic appearance.

"Communication Paper, something Roselle invented."

Anderson noticed Luther's gaze and immediately showed it to him, demonstrating, "You can communicate in writing with the person who holds the other half..."

"Um?"

Upon closer inspection, Luther discovered that the patterns at the top clustered around a name written in Hermes Script — Edwina Edwards.

"Vice Admiral Iceberg?"

"Yes, the Church arranged for her to be the liaison for our Fleet, and she gave me this Communication Paper."

Anderson replied, "This thing is very precious; it's the first time I've ever seen one like it. Compared to a messenger, it has the advantages of not consuming Spirituality, not requiring Ritual, and providing instant communication... However, because it's quite complicated to make, it couldn't be mass-produced and is extremely rare... I don't know how she acquired it."

Yes, the name Edwards appeared in Roselle's diary. Klein also mentioned before that Vice Admiral Iceberg was likely a descendant of Emperor Roselle's second-in-command...

Luther thought to himself with some suspicion that if that was the case, it wouldn't be surprising if the other party had items left behind by Roselle.

"Speaking of Edwina, she recently had some very happy news."

Anderson unfolded the Communication Paper, took out ink and a pen. Then, suddenly remembering something, he said, "I've made an incredible discovery."

"An incredible discovery?"

"Yes... their Fleet salvaged a shipwreck and apparently found a clue to a tomb inside." Anderson paused, then lowered his voice, becoming mysterious. "The owner of that tomb... was actually the legendary... King Solomon..."
