In a flash, a name crossed Gatchi Lorry's mind.

Following the original personality of this body, he appropriately displayed a mixture of emotions in his eyes, including fear, envy, and surprise, and said incredulously:

Lord Burns?

"He's actually willing to take on a Level 2 mission?"

The mission levels within the Shadow of Order are consistent with the Sealed Artifact of the Church of the Righteous God, with the lowest level being "3" and increasing sequentially up to "0".

Among them, "3" level tasks correspond to Low Sequence, "2" level tasks correspond to Mid-Sequence, and "1" level and "0" level tasks correspond to High Sequence.

Mumulik smiled upon hearing this:

"He's also a ' Mentor of Disorder,' just like you and me, he's never opened the door to divinity, so what's so strange about him accepting a 'Level 2' quest?"

Gatchi Lorry quickly shook his head:

"You jest, sir. I am not worthy to be compared to Lord Burns."

"Before him, the organization's definition of the top Beyonder in the Mid-Sequence was consistent with that of the outside world: those who could survive under the attack of Half-Human, Half-God."

"For example, those seven Pirate who were generals." But Lord Burns redefined the concept of the top Beyonder in the Mid-Sequence.

"He defeated Half-Human, Half-God in a direct battle, a true Half-Human, Half-God who had already opened the door to divinity!"

"Such a record is extremely rare in the entire world of Mysticism. Who would really treat Lord Burns as Sequence 5?"

Mumulik wore a proud expression, clearly pleased with what he had to say.

He smiled modestly:

You'd better not mention what you just said in front of your uncle.

He never thought that way; he only believed that he relied on the "Earl's Coronet," a level 1 Sealed Artifact, which was just right to counter the opponent's abilities.

"Sequence 4 is the watershed of the Paths of the Divine," he often said.

Then, he changed the subject:

"In addition, you have been staying in the Norga Islands for too long, so you are inevitably out of touch with the news. Recently, a major event has occurred at sea."

"Vice Admiral Iceberg Edwina's Third Mate mate, ' Flower Bow Tie ' Jodson, single-handedly severely damaged the ' Death Announcer ' piloted by ' King of Immortality ' Agalito. Now, he has earned the right to be king, and is recognized by Pirate, adventurers, the navy, and the church as the fifth king of the seas."

"Me, out of the loop? Is it possible that the person in front of you is the one in question?" Gatchi Lorry thought silently, feigning disbelief. He paused for a few seconds, then said against his will, "Even so, I believe he is no match for Lord Burns."

Mumulik laughed heartily:

"The match hasn't even started yet, so no one can guarantee the outcome."

"However, besides helping to find the Ghost Ship, my uncle also took on the mission of trying to recruit Jodson to become our representative in the Five Seas when he left headquarters this time."

"Rumor has it that Jodson was able to defeat the ' King of Immortality ' and the ' Death Announcer ' by relying on the power of the Sealed Artifact. My uncle will definitely investigate him to see if he is worth recruiting."

"But the sea is vast, and it's uncertain whether he'll be able to find this person."

After saying that, he shook his head slightly:

"Alright, let's not talk about that. Let's talk about those people. I need to analyze whether they might pose a threat to our plans."

"Okay." Gatchi Lorry nodded readily, a hint of reminiscence in his voice, "That night I led my men to hunt them down..."

An unnamed Inn, second-floor Guest Room.

Having just finished a Storm, Lorry was lying in bed resting with his eyes closed when he suddenly opened them, his gaze turning grave. He hadn't expected that besides Mumulik, the Shadow of Order had sent other reinforcements—a "Mentor of Disorder" who had once directly defeated Demigod ...

As expected of an ancient organization established in the Fourth Epoch... Lorry couldn't help but sigh, as memories from his clone appeared in his mind.

Burns Solomon, one of only two members of the Mumulik, has no other hobbies; his only passion is fighting.

His talent was mediocre, and his Advancement was quite slow, even slower than that of his nephew, who was more than ten years younger than him, who easily caught up with him.

But he had experienced countless battles throughout his life, and his experience was extremely rich. He was used to defeating the strong with the weak and fighting against many enemies.

Of course, his most dazzling achievement was defeating Demigod.

If the opponent hadn't sensed the danger and recklessly revealed their Mythical Creature Form to escape, they would probably have been sent back to the underworld long ago.

"Hoo... A truly formidable opponent, a powerful Beyonder standing at the Mid-Sequence..." Lorry slowly exhaled, giving an objective assessment.

He then gathered his thoughts, temporarily ignoring the other party's attempt to recruit him, and began to seriously consider how to find the Ghost Ship.

"The Earl's Coronet"... a Level 1 Sealed Artifact from the "Black Emperor" Pathway... Undoubtedly, they intend to forcibly bring the Ghost Ship to light using the Law of Beyonder Characteristic Convergence...

I must say, this is a brilliant idea, fully demonstrating the depth of this ancient organization... If I hadn't Parasitism Gatchi, their second-in-command, I would have been left far behind by them based on this alone...

However, there aren't so many "what ifs" in life... Thinking this, Lorry smiled slightly, got out of bed, and quickly walked to the wooden table by the window, taking out paper and pen to begin writing a letter.

Olavi, a rescue hospital with ties to the Church of the Evernight Goddess.

Today's free lunch is pretty good... Soft and delicious white bread, spread with local specialty Jam, it's a perfect match... I might consider stocking up on some in the Gray Fog World, so that if I'm too lazy to make Breakfast in the future, I can just buy some bread slices to make do... Klein lay on the bed in the volunteer lounge, letting his imagination run wild.

Suddenly, he heard illusory, layered prayers in his ears.

"Can't a person take a nap in the middle of the day?" he grumbled irritably, then sat up, drew the curtains, and took four steps backward to the Above the Gray Fog.

He extended his Spirituality toward the Crimson Star that belonged to the "Magician," and the image of the woman praying quickly appeared before his eyes.

"Dear Mr. Fool, please tell Mr. World that I wish to fulfill our previous agreement and ask him to do something for me."

The requirement is to temporarily borrow a high-ranking item from the "Black Emperor" Pathway. The type is not limited; it can be Beyonder Characteristic or Mystical Item.

"The same applies to other things, as long as they belong to High Sequence level."

As the sound abruptly ceased, the image shattered simultaneously. Klein, seated at the head of the Bronze Long Table, frowned almost imperceptibly, lost in thought.

It's not a request, just a temporary loan; that's not unreasonable...

The problem is, she shouldn't know that the Card of Blasphemy belongs to the "Black Emperor's " Pathway... Wait, I see... The "World" dummy exposed the identity of the Gentleman Thief "Black Emperor," making it easy to assume he could produce something similar...

Forget it, there's no use thinking about this now. The key question is whether or not to lend it to me?
