Divine Patterns on the Wall, Divine Power

The Crow perched on the shaman's shoulder, constantly turning its head to look around.

Its lively appearance was very eye-catching in this serious, dark, and lifeless stronghold.

There were quite a few people inside the stronghold, most of whom had their faces completely covered or Mask, so their true faces were impossible to discern.

They moved around, seemingly busy with something.

After the shaman arrived at the stronghold.

A high-ranking official from the Eternal Kingdom came to greet him.

Fuerdu was a bishop in the Eternal Kingdom, second only to the Pope in rank.

The entire Eternal Kingdom attaches great importance to this newly joined diviner with precognitive abilities.

But it's not something they take very seriously.

They take this seriously because it is a crucial time to summon the gods; with the arrival of this person who can foresee calamities, they can avoid many troubles.

The reason they don't value it is that once their god successfully descends into this world, and there is a great and omnipotent god, the existence of this diviner becomes dispensable.

Welcome, sir.

Fuerdu strode toward the shaman with a smile, giving the soothsayer a once-over.

Standing at around 1.8 meters tall, he appeared quite slender. The shaman wore an elaborate black robe with a purple gemstone inlaid at the collar, perfectly complementing his eyes.

She had a calm and unassuming demeanor, with a perfectly measured smile playing on her slightly upturned lips.

She exudes a captivating charm that draws people in and makes them want to explore and understand her.

Mysterious and beautiful.

Fuerdu couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, "Sir, you are truly a man of exceptional appearance and bearing!"

To show his sincerity, Fuerdu removed his Mask, revealing his face.

Fuerdu has brilliant blond hair and deep, affectionate blue eyes. When he looks at you, you always have the illusion that he is very serious and sincere.

Although he was already thirty-five years old, he looked quite different from the average foreigner who tends to look much older; he appeared to be only twenty-six or twenty-seven.

Wu nodded slightly, accepting the praise without hesitation, but did not return the compliment, which made him seem somewhat aloof.

But Fuerdu showed no sign of annoyance; on the contrary, he warmly welcomed the shaman.

"May I ask your name, sir? My Fuerdu Paulo; just call me by my first name."

My name is Wu.

"Witch?" A deep meaning flashed in Fuerdu's eyes. This didn't sound like a normal name; it sounded more like a code name.

However, he did not voice his doubts. Since the other party had given this answer, there was no point in questioning it, regardless of whether the name was real or fake.

"Then I'll not stand on ceremony and call you by your name, Mr. Wu."

Fuerdu showed the shaman a tour of the stronghold, focusing on showing him the divine runes carved on the walls.

"How about it?"

He asked with a proud expression, "These patterns and designs evolved from the divine runes of the gods. They contain boundless power. If someone can decipher them, they might gain divine power."

Then, his tone shifted, and he said with some regret, "Unfortunately, since the Eternal Kingdom was established so long ago, no one has ever been able to comprehend it."

"But how easy is it to obtain divine power?"

The shaman stood in front of the wall, raising his head to carefully observe the patterns.

Fuerdu stood quietly by his side.

Everyone who joins the Eternal Kingdom and hears the origin of this divine rune goes through a period of frenzy over it.

No one would not want to obtain divine power.

Of course, after a while, they will realize that even if the path to obtaining divine power is so openly presented to them, not everyone has the talent and ability to comprehend it.

Fuerdu cautioned, "Don't look at it for too long; it will cause mental strain."

The arrangement of these divine runes may seem chaotic, but it is actually traceable.

Every line and the placement of every pattern is actually very precise.

When they are combined, they form a special magnetic field.

When you concentrate on watching them, the longer you look at them, the more they seem to come alive, and this can have a significant impact and burden on your visual and mental well-being.

An average person would probably feel dizzy after watching for just a few minutes. If they continued, they would likely experience vomiting, hallucinations, and headaches.

However, the witch stood in front of the wall and stared at it for a long time.

It took Fuerdu a while to go from initially offering a reminder to later showing a surprised expression on his face.

He glanced at the time: twenty minutes!

This fortune teller was able to observe divine markings for twenty minutes straight?

It should be noted that even a bishop who had received divine power could only last for thirty minutes.

Fuerdu looked the witch over again.

The shaman withdrew his gaze.

Although it wasn't obvious on his face, his complexion seemed considerably paler.

It seems that observing the divine runes for so long has had a significant impact on him, though he hasn't shown it.

Only then did Fuerdu feel relieved.

"We'll be having a meeting soon, and many people will be attending. Would you like to go to your room and rest for a bit? Someone will contact you later."

Wu nodded and said, "I'm a bit tired after such a long drive."

Seeing his pale face, Fuerdu wisely refrained from making fun of him. As a senior, he should be considerate of the young man's pride.

So he summoned an ordinary member and had someone take the shaman to a room to rest.

He then went to prepare for the meeting.

The Eternal Kingdom holds meetings from time to time.

Although it was called a meeting, it was actually more like a ceremony for believers to join the Eternal Kingdom.

This ritual was certainly unusual.

This is also why the Eternal Kingdom was able to gather so many believers in such a short time, yet those believers all kept their mouths shut and did not reveal a single clue about the Eternal Kingdom.

Why don't they worry about talented people like witches betraying them when they coerce and entice them to join their organization?

Naturally, it's because they have some methods; they are confident that as long as these people join the Eternal Kingdom, they will eventually become faithful believers of God.

Mike stayed with his mother.

He pretended to be very curious about his surroundings, wandering around and occasionally picking up things to examine them.

I looked at the divine patterns on the walls, especially, over and over again.

In fact, he recorded everything in front of him by walking around and using a miniature camera clipped to his chest.

After joining the Investigation Team, Mike began actively gathering intelligence on the organization.

The Eternal Kingdom was very well hidden; if they hadn't learned the organization's name from the Contract Anomalist, they wouldn't even know what it was called.
