Pope... Danitz was startled and almost couldn't believe the oracle he was hearing.
If this instruction hadn't come directly from Mr. " The Fool," he would have certainly blurted out a curse.
Of course, he could also hold back if the opponent was Gehrman Sparrow.
"My Lord, is there any other question?" The intelligence chief of the Church of the Sea God outside the door was somewhat frightened when he saw that Saint Danitz's expression had become rather strange.
Danitz snapped out of his thoughts and forced a smile, saying:
"Keep a close eye on any activity at the Sea Waves Cathedral."
"Yes, Your Excellency." The intelligence chief secretly breathed a sigh of relief and quickly bowed to take his leave.
Danitz turned to Alger Wilson, a bright smile on his face, and said:
"The ' The Fool ' has delivered a divine decree."
Alger didn't hesitate at all; he immediately stood up and placed his right palm on his left chest.
Danitz straightened his back and solemnly began to speak:
"God said, 'From this day forward, Alger shall wear a mask and assume the position of Pope of the Church of the Sea God.'"
"The will of ' The Fool ' is my will!" Alger, unable to hide his smile, bowing respectfully.
His smile was half for Danitz's benefit, a display of humility, and half genuinely from the heart, for the oracle meant two things:
Mr. The Fool and the Lord of Storms reached a certain agreement and tacit understanding: his defection would no longer be investigated. Of course, he had to wear a mask and use a pseudonym to avoid bringing shame to the Church of Storms.
Becoming the Pope of the Church of the Sea God is a crucial step toward the throne of the " Sea God ".
In Alger's view, this meant that he had officially become Mr. The Fool's subordinate, and that he had a good chance of either obtaining the identity of " Sea God " or going further to become the leader of the " The Fool's " church. Mr. The Fool was a great being who was gradually recovering and was on the same level as the true God, or even higher. How could His Mandated Punisher not be Angel?
After bowing, Alger waited patiently for a while until the divine messenger Danitz brought out a silver-black mask.
He took the mask and solemnly put it on his face.
Wearing Red Gloves, Leonard strolled Sonia Sea, enjoying the leisure time after handling an extraordinary case.
As for the strange opening of the doors and windows last night, he had received orders from the Holy Cathedral not to investigate or delve into it.
Leonard wanted to obey the order but was powerless to do so, because he already knew the general truth from the Old Man Pallez Zoroast:
Mr. Door returned to the real world, while Amon, the Angel of Time, seized the opportunity to Stealing His ascension ritual and ascended to Sequence 0, " Error ". Almost simultaneously, Mr. The Fool revived further, establishing weak and fleeting connections with Beyonder through the three pathways of " Sefirah Castle Seer," " Apprentice," "Apprentice," and " Marauder."
As Angel of the " Marauder " pathway, Pallez Zoroast was undoubtedly able to sense Amon's ascension to godhood, experience the corresponding change in authority, and discover that the " Sefirah Castle " had established some kind of connection with him.
" Old Man, Amon has already advanced to Sequence 0. You shouldn't be of any use to him now. Why do you still ' Parasitism ' my body?" Leonard asked in a low voice, half puzzled and half concerned, after taking a breath of the fresh morning air.
In his mind, Pallez Zoroast let out a soft "Ah!"
"Innocent.
"Do you think you've become Saint, possessing a wealth of esoteric knowledge, and no longer need my instruction?"
"You can choose to teach me face-to-face," Leonard said, carefully considering his tone.
For him, having an Angel " Parasitism " his body had both advantages and disadvantages.
The advantage is that even if he encounters a true Mythical Creature, he is not without the strength to fight back. He can simply call out " Old Man " and the problem might be solved. In addition, the history of the Fourth Epoch and various uncommon occult knowledge are also quite useful.
The most obvious drawback is that one's life Manipulation by the " Parasite," and if the other party harbors malicious intentions, he has no way to stop it.
This issue, once Leonard's biggest worry, is no longer important. The " The Fool's " resurgence is reaching a point where he can completely suppress Pallez Zoroast. Furthermore, Leonard has become a high-ranking deacon of the Church of Evernight, inevitably attracting the attention of the " Evernight Goddess," and possibly even being specially marked. Under these circumstances, it's impossible for the deity in charge of Concealment to fail to discover Pallez Zoroast. If the Old Man harbored ill intentions, he would have been dealt with long ago.
Leonard's biggest problem right now is that many things are not very convenient because of this.
Although he had gotten used to going in and out of the bathroom with an old guy " Parasitism " his body, and even chatting with him while squatting on the toilet, he still preferred to be alone in similar situations.
Therefore, he felt that it was a better way to get along with the Old Man than for him to leave his body and live in his home like an elder. He would then let the Old Man temporarily " Parasitism " him when he needed to deal with more dangerous situations.
Upon hearing Leonard's suggestion, Pallez Zoroast scoffed:
Are you still thinking that you can break free of the ' Parasitism ' once you get home, and then ' Parasitism ' again when you need to go out?
"Do you think I'm your bodyguard?"
Leonard chuckled twice, then said:
"If you haven't fully recovered and want to continue ' Parasitism ' me, I have no objection."
Pallez Zoroast paused for two seconds, letting his slightly aged voice echo in Leonard's mind once more:
"The most dangerous period is yet to come. For the position of ' Lord of Mysteries,' ' The Fool ' and Amon will inevitably clash. At that time, under the influence of the various laws of Beyonder Characteristic, we Angel who share the same path may be affected. Heh, it's safer to seek refuge in the sight of the Evernight."
"Once the ' Lord of Mysteries ' is born, even if you beg me to ' Parasitism ' you, I won't even deign to look at you!"
Leonard was slightly taken aback and subconsciously repeated a name:
" Lord of Mysteries?"
"This is not something you can understand in detail. Of course, with me here, there's no need to worry too much," Pallez Zoroast said, both impressed and proud.
Leonard was about to take the opportunity to ask a question when he suddenly saw a " Red Gloves " player running over with a telegram in his hand.
"Sir, a telegram from the Holy Cathedral." The team member bowed respectfully.
Leonard nodded slightly, took the telegram, and quickly glanced through it:
"Head to the Southern Continent to participate in the operation to suppress the Rose School of Thought."
Southern Continent... Rose School of Thought... Leonard extracted the two most crucial words.
He quickly returned to the city's largest church, used a grand Ritualistic Magic to establish a connection with the Holy Cathedral, and dreamt of the Pope and Lady Arianna, among other high-ranking figures.
After a brief exchange, Leonard roughly understood the essence of the mission:
Each of the major orthodox churches dispatched three to four Demigod to the Southern Continent to suppress the Rose School of Thought, which had been very active since the start of the full-scale war.
This is a long-term task, because the Demigod of the Rose School of Thought are adept at concealing their whereabouts and act with great Concealment, making them not so easy to find, not so easy to lock onto, and not so easy to deal with.
According to the Pope, it would be good if enough results could be seen within three years.
During this process, the Holy Cathedral will rotate the Demigod as needed to ensure that the archbishops and senior deacons in charge of this matter are in a relatively stable mental state.
After emerging from the dream, Leonard looked around and said in a low voice:
" Old Man, something's strange. Why are the major churches suddenly launching a campaign against the Rose School of Thought?"
This is no easy task. Over the past few centuries, the orthodox churches have made similar attempts, but they could only suppress and weaken the Rose School of Thought, not truly eradicate it.
This is partly due to the rifts, suspicions, and lack of cooperation among allies, and partly because, despite their indulgence and abnormal mental state, the Demigod of the Rose School of Thought still know how to avoid, hide, and Concealment when faced with danger, and will not willingly throw their lives away.
Furthermore, with the protection of the " Chained God " and the " Mother Tree of Desire," it is difficult for the gods to provide precise guidance for their actions.
Pallez Zoroast didn't answer Leonard's question immediately. After a pause of about ten seconds, he sighed and said in a slightly aged voice:
"This is eliminating hidden dangers and preparing for the Apocalypse."
Preparing for the Apocalypse... Leonard opened his mouth, as if to say something, but ultimately fell silent.
Backlund, Harvest Church.
Emlyn White had just entered the hall and hadn't even had a chance to go to his room to change his clothes when he saw Father Utravsky stand up in the front row, like a mountain rising from the ground.
" The Mother Goddess commands us to travel to the Southern Continent to bury those evil ones," the God's Blessed said in a low voice.
His voice echoed in the hall like a slowly spreading rumble of thunder, startling the praying Sanguine followers into opening their eyes.
So last night's dream was real... Emlyn listened with a sudden realization.
Last night he dreamed of the Progenitor, who instructed him and Father Utravsky to unite with the Temperance Faction of the Rose School of Thought and go to the Southern Continent to deal with the Rose School of Thought members who worshipped the " The Moon Primordial."
Of course, given the opportunity, enemies who believe in the " Mother Tree of Desire " should not be spared either.
Because false revelations are common, Emlyn didn't take the dream to heart. He prepared to change his clothes, finish his prayers, and then seek confirmation from Father Utravsky.
He gave a soft "hmm," responding to Father Utravsky with surprising composure:
No need to rush.
"I'll contact the members of the Temperance Faction of the Rose School of Thought first."
Father Utravsky nodded without any hesitation:
"Select some more volunteer Sanguine."
In Trier, the capital of the Republic of Intis, an intelligence chief is assigning tasks to his subordinates.
Suddenly, his vision blurred, and he heard a voice that seemed to come from a distant place:
" Orville... Dilaan... Orville... Dilaan..."
