"Hexus! Moran Gubler! Two legendary professionals?"

Sulu kept repeating those two names.

If we become strong enough in the future, we will definitely make them pay the price!

After all, the Nia City was half destroyed because of them, and among them were probably familiar classmates and teachers. This is already a blood feud!

Of course, he wouldn't be foolish enough to jump out now. At the very least, he would wait until he was on the same level as them before considering revenge.

"Yes... the legend of the fifth rank... a legend that was once only passed down by word of mouth has actually come to life in this world!"

Siegfried exclaimed, "It is said that the influence of the Demon caused Archbishop Moran to fall from grace, and then enabled him to successfully change his profession!"

"Demon? Can True God now influence the world like this? Where is our Goddess then?"

Sulu suddenly thought of Molly.

Looking back now, the gallery's Demon curse seems shrouded in mystery.

This woman was very likely silenced by Moran!

The method used, of course, was to distort her ritual, making her see the real ' Demon '!

But there's one thing Sulu can't understand: the Dawn of Gods only just begun, how could the true ' Demon ' project its influence so quickly?

Perhaps... it's because Molly took the initiative to perform the sacrifice?

And all she saw was the sleeping figure of Demon, murmuring in a dreamlike voice?

Regarding this issue...

Siegfried lowered his voice. "I have a guess... Is it possible that the ' Demon ' is of a higher rank than the Goddess?"

Because Green Tree Castle is a Scholar institution with a weak faith, it is permissible to utter blasphemous words.

If this were outside, Siegfried would be burned at the stake based on just this one sentence.

"Demon's rank is higher than Goddess's? That's an interesting idea!"

Sulu was taken aback, but did not refute.

Although religious texts praise the Seven Gods as beings of endless glory, the only True God in their respective realms.

But Sulu was, after all, a visitor from another world, and his perspective was different. He knew that the so-called ' True God ' were actually just a group of top-notch professionals!

Since they are all professionals, there is only a difference in strength, not in whether they are righteous or Evil God.

The concepts of good and evil are merely definitions imposed upon us by humankind.

Therefore, it is not impossible that the ' Demon ' is more powerful than the Goddess of Light!

"You think... because the Demon is more powerful than the Goddess, it can exert influence first, while the Goddess is asleep?" Sulu's eyes darted around. "But is it possible that it's actually because it's weaker than the Goddess?"

"We all know that Dawn of Gods, extraordinary powers resurface. The more powerful a being is, the harder it is for it to awaken and act freely... So, because the Demon is weaker than the Goddess, it awakens earlier and can slightly interfere in the real world?"

Upon hearing this argument, Siegfried was stunned. "Indeed... that makes a lot of sense."

"With our current Wisdom, trying to understand the abilities of the gods is far too presumptuous..." Sulu laughed, glancing around. "There seem to be fewer people in the Inner Circle?"

Even a bookworm like him noticed something was wrong; it seems some major changes have occurred within the Inner Circle.

"You're only finding out now?" Siegfried's mouth dropped open. "Looks like you've been holed up in the White Tower the whole time, haven't you?

Sulu was somewhat embarrassed.

Since gaining access to the Three-Leaf, he has indeed been going back and forth between the White Tower and his dormitory.

Especially after acquiring knowledge of potion-making, he has been diligently practicing his skills and leveling up, rarely paying attention to things outside the home.

Has something major happened?

"I heard..." Siegfried leaned forward, his expression mysterious, "The attack in Nia City was a major case that shocked the Federation. The Chief Speaker and the Second-in-Command- Chief of the Inner Circle Council were alarmed and dispatched a group of people to participate in the pursuit of those two villains."

"So that's how it is!"

Sulu nodded in sudden realization.

Green Tree Castle Laboratory already had close ties with the Federation. Besides, in this world, Legendary Professional are extremely rare, with very few in the entire Federation, and even fewer willing to obey Federation orders.

This pursuit of the two Demon cultists must be led by fifth-tier professionals, so it's normal for them to be assigned to these tasks.

"With the Chief and the Second-in-Command Chief in charge, those two villains will surely be punished by the Federation!"

A look of reverence appeared on Siegfried's face, clearly showing his confidence in the two men.

"Of course! I just wonder what the Speaker and the others' professions are..."

Sulu nodded in agreement.

The Speaker and Second-in-Command of the Inner Circle of Green Tree Castle are among the strongest individuals in the Federation.

I just don't know what kind of Tier 5 profession they are.

Judging from the Inner Circle's inheritance, it should be a legendary advancement in the [Arcanist] path?

Unfortunately, even on the fourth floor of the White Tower, there is no information about the [Arcanist] class.

Clearly, this is a profession hidden within the Inner Circle. Even if one reaches a certain level or joins the Inner Circle core and becomes a member of the Four-Leaf Clan or higher to gain trust, they still cannot receive instruction.

If I hadn't already held other professions and had been accepted as Apprentice by Slayden Walter, I would undoubtedly have followed the orthodox career path of an [Arcanist], with an incredibly bright future. I could have easily become a councilor, or even the Speaker of Green Tree Castle.

Upon realizing this, Sulu felt a pang of melancholy, followed by a cold laugh.

So what if Arcanist?

With his own Attribute Panel and a legendary career path, he might just catch up with or even surpass them!

"I know that!"

Without providing any other information beyond the job title, Siegfried readily replied, "I've heard my mentor say that after the fourth-tier [Grand Arcanist], there comes the fifth-tier [Arcane Caster]! Their power has undergone a transformation, allowing them to utilize 'Arcane Energy,' a very primal energy, to unleash all sorts of incredible spells!"

"Fifth-tier... [Arcane Caster]?"

Sulu nodded, then suddenly looked at Siegfried: "What do you think of my suggestion last time?"

He thought the fat man was a nice guy and had a suggestion.

For example... using some research findings to exchange for other mysterious resources.

After all, reaching the Four-Leaf clover level is a distant prospect, so we have to find other ways.

At this point, Siegfried's eyes lit up. "The steam power structure you showed me last time was very inspiring... You really don't want to publish such papers and results yourself?"

"I'm sincerely transferring the business, and I can even sign a contract to guarantee a clean transaction!" Sulu smiled.

Knowledge gained from past lives, even just a small portion of it, is a vast wealth.

"In that case, I can indeed give you a potion recipe, from my mentor's private collection. It's not for mental power, but rather to improve agility..."

Most of the recipes for mental potions come from the upper levels of the White Tower and are subject to contractual restrictions.

What can be traded are still their own private interests.
