A reluctant show-off
Late Night.
Neither Anthony's intelligence channels, nor Franca's Gang informant, nor Jenna's neighbors could provide any feedback related to "Disease Church".
Franca sat in front of the Mechanical Typewriter, opened Radio Transceiver, and prepared to ask "007" to see if "Eternal Blazing Sun" and Church had any valuable information.
"Hey, group message notification: 'Sleeve Sword' who did something good again today joined the group chat!" Franca announced his arrival in the Telegram group.
Before she could send the second sentence, she saw a letter Telegram with the title "007" coming in:
"'Sleeve Sword', the person you were promoted to was actually not Sequence 4, but Sequence 3, right?"
The other Telegram that was supposed to respond to Franca suddenly stopped.
Franca was stunned for a moment, then realized something:
Hey, I already didn't want to show off on this matter, but you still helped me pretend?
She felt that she should show three parts helplessness, three parts Pain and three parts confusion, plus an inevitable secret joy, so she answered carefully, "Hey... yes."
After a brief, unspeakable silence, one letter after another Telegram was spat out with a clicking sound under the control of Small Analytical Engine's queue.
That Mechanical Typewriter feels overwhelmed and busy:
"Really?"
"'Sleeve Sword', this kind of joke is not funny, it's too hurtful!"
"I remember 'Sleeve Sword' you mentioned that you were Sequence 5's 'Witch of Pain' just a month ago, and it's only been a month since you became Sequence 3? It's not that fast on a rocket!"
"Have you been favored by the God of Good Luck recently?"
"Sequence 3's Witch, I can't imagine how beautiful it is, there are so many Charm..."
"Really, is there any secret to getting promoted? Make an offer, and if you and I can pool our efforts together, we might be able to come up with the down payment."
"'Sleeve Sword', did something happen to you? Do you need any help? With my Sequence, I may not be able to participate in the battle, but I can help you scold those people!"
"..."
"'007', how did you know?"
After expressing various emotions and feelings, someone finally brought the topic back on track.
"007" replied, "'Sleeve Sword' is already a Patron Saint of Church, and has its own Honorific Name."
Sure enough, Change over Saint Franca Church was noticed by "Eternal Blazing Sun" Church, and "007" had known before that I was "Red Boots" Franca·Roland...Franca's guess was confirmed.
"Patron Saint...Honorific Name... I really can't connect these two terms with 'Sleeve Sword' which means 'life is short, why not give it a try'." "Moon King" was the first to sigh.
"Yeah." "Wind Sound" and then Telegram, "It's so magical, so magical, more magical than all fantasy novels!"
"Please show some respect to the great 'Sleeve Sword'!"
"Uncle 'Sleeve Sword', is it possible to accept me as your disciple? And-Picture-Book"
"You kid also want to be 'Witch' with the picture and book? If I remember correctly, you can transfer it."
"I find it difficult to accept that the strongest person Society is now is the stupid 'Sleeve Sword'..."
"No, if you say that, wouldn't we be even stupider and stupider?"
"..."
Looking at these Telegram, Franca couldn't help but raise the corners of their mouths.
I have to say, it's really cool to pretend like this!
Moreover, those gags and picture book-like emotions gave her a sense of solidity that she had not broken away from the masses and was still alive.
"Hey, hey, hey." She called Vocabulary quickly, "You don't really think I have no brains, do you? I used to be called approachable, just to get along with you."
Then, she modestly added, "'Hella'Lady should also be Sequence 3, a little earlier than me, or a little later.
"I don't know if he is the president or not."
"You are really Sequence 3... Is there anything you can tell us?" "Wind Sound" and others asked one after another.
Franca mentioned it in more depth than before:
"When I promoted Sequence 4, digested Sequence 4 Potion, and promoted Sequence 3, I met the conditions for trickery due to the specialness of Transmigrator. Therefore, within a month I became Saint with Honorific Name."
She didn't talk about her Sequence 3 Potion and digested it completely. After all, there were not too few members of the Telegram group, and most of them had never been in contact with the real world. Although she was willing to believe in their character, she didn't dare to bet on the environment they were in. Key information about her own Sequence strength should be kept secret, but it should be kept secret.
Moreover, if someone asks Sequence 3 later what is the name of Witch, Franca will not want to hide it, because "007" pointed out that she is already a certain After Church's Patron Saint, her Honorific Name cannot be hidden from anyone who is interested. In this way, some Telegram group members may obtain Sequence from The on-the-spot digestion of Potion has a certain association with the name "Witch of Unaging".
"One month..."
"It really only took a month..."
"..."
Now, "Moon King", "Wind Sound" and others seemed to have lost the mood to joke.
"Then who are you Witch now?" After a while, Telegram group member "Little Peppa" asked.
Let me just say it! Franca immediately replied, "Witch of Unaging."
"Unaging... Eternal youth?" "Little Peppa" seemed a little envious.
"Moon King" asked, "Can it also extend the life span?"
"Theoretically, it's not a problem to live for another two thousand years." Franca tried hard to control his complacency.
"I cried with envy..." the group friends responded with similar words.
Both of them are true feelings.
Who doesn't want to live forever Unaging?
As for the negative impact caused by Potion, there is no Ordinary Person in this group!
Franca thought for a moment, then slapped Vocabulary:
"In Trier District, if you have difficulties and need help, you can recite my Honorific Name.
"If it's not Trier District, I can't do anything. I can't hear or respond.
"My Honorific Name is:
"The one who never grows old, Keeper of Disease and Plague, Witch Accompanied by Strife and Calamity, the Cups who carries joy and Pain, the great Franca·Roland."
Seeing this Honorific Name and the prefix "great", the members of the Telegram group truly realized that "Sleeve Sword" has obtained Divinity, Half-God is half human, and has Honorific Name. It is Patron Saint of a certain Church, which can answer prayers and give power.
After a while, "Little Peppa" sighed, "I feel like there is a sad and thick barrier between us..."
"Call me sir to come and listen?" Franca responded to these words very skillfully.
After exchanging her own affairs and explaining that "Cups" refers to the Tarot Cards Cups brand corresponding to the concept of a sacred object that symbolizes and carries joy Pain, she asked about "007":
"'007', do you have more information about 'Disease Church'?"
After their own collection and analysis of information, their team believes that "Society of the End of All Things" and "Disease Church" believe in the same Evil God, but the former mainly corrupts the middle and upper classes, while the latter targets the lower class people, promotes "God of Disease" Authority, the horror of disease, and develops followers through intimidation.
"007" is neither fast nor slow in typing, Telegram comes in line by line:
"Several Disease Church-related cases discovered previously have been dealt with, and the corresponding Gifted have been cleared, but their superiors have never been found.
"For those believers who only know the name 'God of Disease', we now have enough manpower to send Mid-Sequence Beyonder to keep an eye on them to see if anyone will contact them and whether any abnormal events will occur.
"Besides these, there is no other information. The cultists of Trier have been very quiet in the past month or two and have hidden themselves deeply."
Very peaceful? This is very similar to the state before the Hostel incident... Something big is really going to happen within a year or two? Other Great Ones may not know what "Great Mother" is going to do or how to do it, but they should have foreseen that something will happen., after all, we all have guesses, so they restrained Trier and Gifted, asking them to either move to other places, or wait patiently, and then fish in troubled waters? Franca made his own speculation based on the words of "007".
At the same time, she also heard another hint from "007":
Believers who only know the name "God of Disease" can be saved.
Also, those Great Ones preach by proxy and do not allow believers to have a true understanding of themselves. This is not because they are kind, but because if they truly understand them, they will inevitably be Corruption. Some of them may be okay, but they have alienated personalities and extreme mentalities, but most of them The branch body will collapse and become Monster that keeps spreading Corruption. Concealment will no longer be able to preach and will be easily discovered by official forces... Franca muttered silently.
One of the reasons for praying that Gift needs to hold Ritual is to protect the corresponding human being through Ritual. Moreover, after establishing a stable but temporary channel, the corresponding existence can consciously converge the spirit, will, etc. Corruption in Gift Power, so that Gifted will not collapse on the spot.
Even Saint such as Franca, Lumian, etc., their understanding of those Great Ones is limited to their names, but compared to other Sequence 4, Sequence 3 Half-God, they also know that these existences stand at the top of multiple Pathway.
In reality, among Great Ones, the only one who does not preach by pronouns is "Mother Tree of Desire".
"Magician" Lady mentioned that "Mother Tree of Desire" corresponds to a short section in the long string of Honorific Name. Understanding it and reciting it will not directly bring Corruption for two reasons:
First, it only has a short section and is incomplete. Second, "Mother Tree of Desire" indirectly controls the That One believed in by "Rose School" in the real world and the Demon Monarch in Abyss. Therefore, after mentioning this Honorific Name, without knowing much about it, and on the premise that Barrier still exists, there will be a "nearby response" Mystical Phenomenon, and the danger is not that great.
"What can we do..." Franca did not conceal Honorific Name Saint's distress.
"007" quickly replied, "Trier has gathered a large amount of official power. Those cultists will not surface again for the time being. After that, we will have enough manpower to investigate everyone in key positions.
"That's true Trier, but in Trier District's edge towns, in places where Church and the government are weak, there may still be cultists active. You can go to those places to look for them."
Yes, Trier will definitely not be able to find anyone in this situation, but he can go to the suburbs or the countryside to find someone... As expected, only Official Beyonder has such vision and experience. We have to waste a while before we can think of it... Franca immediately replied "007":
"Genius!"
