Chapter 0651 Ophelia Norton's Identity

It’s not a day or two for Amber to be ashamed of being an elf. Gao Wen has long adapted to this guy’s style of kicking his nose and face and going astray when he has a chance, and he knows that most of the time Amber does this just to make the atmosphere easier. Some.

This half-elf doesn't like an overly serious and depressing atmosphere, and he was indeed too serious and depressing after communicating with Veronica/Ophelia.

On the second day, the ancient city of Saint-Sunil ushered in a new day in bright sunshine.

The wounds left by this behemoth in the war still need to heal slowly, but everyone who survives will gradually regain hope as the city's stability continues. The blockade on the plain has been closed, pushing the war far away from the city. In the city, the two guardian dukes have begun to further restore the city's functions, and have begun to gather nobles, scholars, business representatives, etc., to prepare for the declaration of the establishment of the empire.

After receiving a group of royal scholars, Gao Wen returned to the study of Silver Castle.

After waiting for a while, a sound of steady and powerful footsteps came from the door, and the tall and strong Patriarch Wright appeared at the door of the study: "My lord, are you looking for me?"

——Although the plan to establish the Cecil Empire has been finalized, Gawain has not yet been publicly crowned. Therefore, except for a few people, most of his long-term followers are still accustomed to calling him in the original way.

Gawain glanced at Wright, and Wright's substitute - Emily was emerging from behind Wright, greeting Amber and Gawain politely.

"Sit down, I have something to discuss with you about the Church of the Holy Light," Gao Wen nodded to the stand-in messenger, the Patriarch, and then turned his head to tell Amber, "Order the guards and attendants, don't let anyone come to the study to disturb you from now on." .”

When Wright sat down on the high-backed chair beside the desk, Gawain opened the magic net terminal on the desk, and while waiting for a response from the other side, he casually said: "Now we have settled in Saint-Sunil, the cathedral is in a real state. The world is already under our control, what do you think?"

"...Considering the actual situation, we can't violently destroy the northern church, nor can we violently treat believers of the old doctrine for the sake of preaching, but the teachings of the northern and southern churches are destined to be opposite," Wright said in a deep voice, "if conditions permit, we should find a way To reform the northern church, start with the right to interpret classics and the power of bishops, so that the northern church can accept new teachings and integrate with the southern church. If conditions do not permit... we may only be able to face the Holy Spirit Just believe in the reality of the division between the North and the South, and allocate a considerable amount of manpower and material resources to maintain balance and avoid intensification of conflicts."

Gao Wen looked up and down the Kong Wu powerful Patriarch: "You are now thinking more and more like a real religious leader."

Perhaps because of becoming the Patriarch, with a different perspective and way of thinking, this white knight who was born as a low-level priest no longer only knew how to preach and pursue the Holy Light, but began to have some practical views from the overall situation. From Wen's point of view, this is a good thing.

Wright just smiled, with a calm and simple expression: "It's just that after sitting in this seat, I saw more people. The Holy Light taught me to match power with responsibility and position with responsibility, so I had to stand on a higher level." Thinking about problems from the perspective of multiple people. To be honest, I am still not good at dealing with these... I should thank Seven Terry and other priests for their help."

"Seven...are some progressive priests in Luan City," Gawain thought for a while, recalling the name, "How are they doing in the southern church? Have they adapted to the new teachings?"

"It's very adaptable. At the beginning, I could only insist on carrying the weight for three kilometers. Now Seven can kill the bear with one punch after carrying the weight for five kilometers."

Gao Wen: "?"

Wright suddenly laughed: "They are civilians and don't need to adapt to the training of soldiers - they have adapted to the new teachings and are trying to find their own way of the Holy Light. After accepting the new teachings, the progressive priests of Luan City And the priests all have different degrees of decline of the Holy Light, but the existence of the White Knight itself inspired the belief of these people, they did not lose all the Holy Light like I did. I believe that the decline of these brothers and sisters is only temporary , one day, they will find their way again."

Gawain's expression finally recovered. He was surprised that Wright could make such a joke now - because Wright's own rough style of painting, coupled with the strange selection criteria of the White Knights, now even Cecil's army is People often joked that the criterion for employing priests in the southern border is whether they can kill bears. This ridicule has obviously reached the ears of the Patriarch, but the Patriarch himself seems to be enjoying it.

In addition to being surprised, Gao Wen also confirmed another thing: the clergy in the southern border did experience varying degrees of power decline due to wavering beliefs and betrayal of the God of Holy Light, but due to the existence of the White Knight, they The recession did not hit the bottom as directly as Wright did.

This may show some characteristics of the "spiritual stamp" from the side.

It does come from the human heart and acts on the human heart, but it can also be influenced by the surrounding environment and the group.

Of course, it is also possible that the clergy in the southern region did not completely despair of the God of Holy Light like Wright did back then. They may still have a trace of reverence for the God of Holy Light in their hearts, which caused their power of Holy Light to be weak. total decline.

In short, no matter what the reason is, it takes a long time to observe and test when it comes to the issue of the spiritual stamp, and Gao Wen is not in a hurry.

While speaking, the magic net terminal on the desk suddenly buzzed, and then an illusory projection condensed in the sky above the projection crystal.

Kamel's figure appeared in front of Gawain and Wright.

The ancient magister bowed slightly to pay tribute to Gawain.

"Very good, everyone is here now," Gawain nodded, and then stopped talking nonsense and got straight to the point, "I summoned you two today because of a matter involving the Church of the Holy Light and the ancient Gondor Empire at the same time. .”

"Involving the contemporary church and the ancient empire at the same time?" Kamel's voice did not hide his curiosity, "What happened?"

Gao Wen said lightly, "Ophelia Norton, do you know this name?"

Kamel was obviously stunned for a moment after hearing the name, and then said: "Yes, of course, I have not only heard of her, but also seen her——Princess Ophelia is a member of the ancient Gondor royal family, and she herself is An extremely talented magister, she is personally responsible for part of the rebellious plan... Why did you suddenly mention this name? As one of the executors of the rebellious plan, Her Highness Ophelia is not active in the political arena. There should not be too many records in history, the time she lived was 300 years behind yours, and 1000 years away from the present day..."

Gao Wen's face was deep and solemn, and his heart fluctuated.

A member of the ancient Gondor royal family, one of the top leaders of the Rebellion Project! !

The Rebellion Project was the most important secret plan of the Gondor Empire in the Starfire era. From the very beginning, this project was controlled by the Gondor royal family, so Gawain had a clue about Ophelia Norton's identity after hearing her surname. He must have guessed, but guesses are guesses. At this moment, he heard the exact information from a real ancient population, and the shock in his heart is still not small!

"Her name is Veronica Moen," he breathed a sigh of relief, and startled Kamel in the communicator and Wright next to him when he spoke, "She is in the Cathedral of Holy Light, And prepare to announce the martyrdom of the pope and bishops three hours later."

"Holy Light..." Wright had an astonished expression on his face. The shock of the news was so great that he didn't even realize that the Northern Church had encountered an event that was definitely good news for the Southern Church. He was seriously injured, and Emily, who was floating behind him, even felt the surge of the holy light around Wright. The little girl immediately disappeared, and then poked out half of her head in the ripples formed by the holy light, cautiously Look around.

Kamel's whole body turned purple-this was an expression of extreme shock: "Is the news reliable? Where did you get the information from?"

"She told it herself, and accurately told your origin, and told the plan of rebellion," Gao Wen said, and briefly described his experience in the Holy Light Cathedral last night, telling the story of the person who called himself "Ophelia" Norton's rebels' request for cooperation, and at the end I attached some of my conjectures, "I think there is a bigger truth behind her, and there may be more things left in the rebellion plan than we imagined—— She refers to herself as 'we', which may mean that the original Ophelia Norton has been split into several souls through some ancient magic, and the so-called Veronica Moen is just one of the split souls temporarily used carrier."

"This conjecture is very likely..." Kamel pondered, and said cautiously after some thinking, "I suggest you treat this disobedient with caution—even if her identity is true, you must maintain enough Be vigilant, keep a sufficient distance, and never be credulous."

Gawain glanced at Kamel: "I thought that you, who are also a disobedient person, would be more kind and trusting to that 'princess', after all, in a sense, she is your former boss."

"I do have some pre-trust and affection for Her Highness Ophelia, who is also a disobedient person, but before that, I am your advisor and scholar first," Kamel said humbly, "I must warn you Your potential risk, and this risk in particular, could be substantial."

"Tell me about your concerns."

"The rebellious plan is the most extreme and daring plan since the birth of mortals. Rebels are a group of extremists who try to ensure the continuation of mankind by stealing, distorting, and even controlling the power of gods. Paranoia, extremeness, and arrogance are the characteristics of rebels. We really He has lofty goals and firm aspirations, and the initial starting point is very good, but the long time and inherent paranoia of human beings can easily distort these good factors," Kamel said of his concerns, "as you think Said, Her Royal Highness Ophelia Norton has survived for 1000 years, and 700 of them were spent in the human kingdom in the form of a boarding soul after the destruction of the Gondor Empire, so this long and heterogeneous life Definitely had a profound effect on her..."

At this point, Carmel paused, with a serious tone: "I can't imagine what a human being will become after going through such a thousand years-she may be a saint who transcends the spiritual will of mortals, but she is more likely to be a lunatic .”

Gawain stroked his chin, thought about it, and said, "You have also experienced 1000 years, and it was under even worse circumstances—you were locked in the fortress of the Shadow Realm."

"Yes, then you must not have forgotten that I was once half-crazy," Kamel said, "and my body has been reshaped into a spirit body, which is no longer affected by various nerve signals and hormone substances of flesh and blood. Influence, in a sense, my mental state has been semi-solidified, and its toughness is higher than that of a human being with flesh and blood. Her Highness Ophelia...she lives in different flesh and blood bodies. It is hard to say what she is. What kind of changes have taken place in the mental state during these long years."

"So do you have a negative attitude towards Ophelia's request for cooperation?"

"...It's not exactly like this," Kamel changed the topic, "Her cooperation is still of great value, not only because she now controls the Cathedral of Saint-Sunil City, but also because she holds something we don't understand. knowledge, and we also need to use her to understand the changes of the Church of the Holy Light in the past so many years, and understand what she wants to do with the help of the Church of the Holy Light. I am just making suggestions to you and listing all the risks for your reference .”

Gawain nodded slightly, and looked at Wright on the other side.

"what is your opinion?"

Wright has been thinking for a while, facing Gawain's question, he said in a deep voice: "...I think we can cooperate, my lord."

Chapter 0652 Breaking Ground

Facing an ancient rebel who was full of mysteries and unknown purpose and controlled the Holy Light Cathedral, Kamel, who was also a rebel, advised Gawain to be vigilant and keep a distance. As the patriarch of the Southern Church, he strongly advocated the promotion of the new Holy Light Wright, who is teaching, thinks that the other party can cooperate. This situation is something that Gawain did not expect before.

He looked at Wright: "Tell me your reason."

"From a practical point of view, we can't leave the Northern Church alone," Wright said seriously. "The issue of belief can easily turn into a fierce conflict. The conflicts and confrontations between the Holy Light Church and other sects during the expansion process in the past two years are an example. This is The problem before us. Let’s not consider the purpose of Her Highness Veronica. It is a fact that she currently holds the platinum scepter, and it is also a fact that the Northern Pope and the Episcopal Conference have all fallen. From these alone, she has cooperation value—— She can help us control the situation, otherwise the turmoil in the northern church may well turn into a disaster."

"Is it only based on value?"

"...No, there is the second point," Wright continued, "If her identity is true, then no matter what her purpose is, at least she is indeed a person who 'disobeys the gods'. On this road of betraying the gods , we can find not many like-minded people, so even if it is only a temporary companion, it is very precious."

After a short pause, he went on to say: "We want to convey the correct concept of belief to the world. This process may not be free from violence, but we cannot rely on violence. There are many people in the world, but belief comes from the heart. After all, we want most of them to become Friends, rather than becoming sworn enemies, so we must distinguish who can be drawn and who cannot be drawn - in my opinion, Her Royal Highness Veronica, or Ophelia Norton are those who can be drawn Those who are below, at least at this stage, it is necessary to win over."

Gawain looked at Wright in surprise.

Distinguish the primary and secondary of contradictions, distinguish the nature of opposing groups, distinguish who must be defeated, and who can be won... He has indeed mentioned this knowledge to the people around him, and Wright has obviously used it skillfully. Degree.

It seems that after taking the position of Patriarch, this Mr. "Priest" has really grown a lot. When the target of his preaching has changed from a sporadic individual to a whole group, his vision of seeing things has become very different from before. same.

Gawain thought about it.

Veronica/Ophelia, the potential hidden dangers of this "inhuman person", he is very clear that introducing such a mysterious person into his career will inevitably mean certain risks, but her value is also obvious However, the acceptance and reformation of the northern church is even more imminent. Among the benefits and risks, he needs a balance point.

In the end, he nodded slightly: "Perhaps, we can have limited cooperation with her."

After all, it is impossible for Gao Wen to trust a mysterious rebel with only limited information in such a short period of time, but he also has no way to directly reject the other party when the information is insufficient. Leah Norton has reached limited cooperation - if the rebel is willing to cooperate, willing to operate under a certain degree of surveillance, and willing to share some knowledge and intelligence.

After all, Gawain himself is also full of curiosity about Ophelia. He is very curious about what this ancient rebel has been doing in the Church of the Holy Light these years, and how much of the huge rebellious plan is Kamai. I don't know, and such a once-in-a-lifetime source of information is in the Holy Light Cathedral at this moment... He really doesn't want to miss it.

……

The battle on the frontline in the far west has subsided somewhat, but the war that has spread to one-third of the Holy Spirit Plain and severely damaged the hinterland of Anzu is far from over.

On the edge of the plain, in the east of Thorinburg, there are mountains and passes, and the thunder of war continues to roar.

This pass consisting of several ridges and a large number of high and low mesas is the largest gateway to the east. Its former owner was Duke Silas Loren, and the guardian of the east rushed through this barrier. The thunderbolt against Solimborg opened the prelude to the civil war in the kingdom, and its current owner is the Cecil Legion—the powerful magical mechanized troops occupy the ridges and high platforms here, and meet those who try to fight with a steel line of defense. Break through the blockade and enter the frenzied clusters of the East.

Between the ridges, thunder bursts, and in the rock bunkers created by engineering magic, the magic crystal rail guns are protruding their accelerated orbits from among the rocks and trees, and with flashes of light, they send deadly shells far away; On the high ground, tongues of fire spurted out, and the heavy burners in the bunker kept burning the mountain road, turning those crystal cluster monsters that escaped the artillery bombardment into ashes.

And in the center of the pass, between layers of bunkers, walls, and sentry towers, is the core fortress and command post of this line of defense—the powerful armored train, Iron Throne No. [-].

This mobile fortress covered with black armor and thick shields is slowly approaching the predetermined position. With the sound of the mechanical device running, the repulsion nodes of the train are locked, and the whole car is firmly parked on the track, and the train The main guns in the arsenal opened fire at the same time, accompanied by a few sharp whistles, and the magic crystal shells fired by the heavy rail gun whizzed through the air and fell into the distance.

In the tactical section of Iron Throne Zero, Commander Maryland is standing in front of the magic net terminal, reporting the battle situation to Gao Wen on the screen: "A new batch of tanks has arrived at the front line, and the Solingburg defense line has been consolidated. environmental security."

Behind the commander, outside the crystal window covered with a reinforced shield, there is a land scorched by artillery fire and burners. The forested sentry towers and armed platforms have the texture of metal and cement. The flashes of time were illuminated again and again, and the transfer device of the armed platform had been connected to the Iron Throne, and a new batch of chariots transported from the White Sands area to the front line were being unloaded from the delivery section of the Iron Throne, ready to be adjusted by the Mechanics And put into the battlefield, a large number of soldiers dispatched from the Kant area also got out of the car, and those heavily armed black-armored soldiers were gathering on the armed platform to accept the review of their respective commanders.

The holographic screen above the magic net terminal was glowing, and Gao Wen's voice sounded slightly disturbed: "Have you noticed any large-scale anomalies on the plain?"

"It hasn't been discovered yet—we have advanced the northern defense line to the crossing of the inclined forest, and set up observation posts along the way, but we have not found any abnormalities," Commander Maryland responded seriously. "Now we are opening up the southern battlefield and building the first Two railway lines, maybe there will be some discoveries."

Outside the Iron Throne, between the rocks, a metal rail with an elegant arc suddenly protruded and pointed to the battlefield. Accompanied by a low buzzing sound, a dazzling and terrifying white light beam pierced the dusky dark sky, crossed the Iron Throne, Armed platforms, front-line barriers, and bunker groups slowly swept across the plains, sweeping the battlefield.

A powerful flash of light penetrated the car window, reflecting on Maryland's cheeks, and at the same time, it also illuminated the interior of the tactical section of the car exceptionally brightly. Gawain in the communicator frowned: "Was that a rainbow cannon just now? The monster's attack was fierce?"

"Yes, I'm about to report—this is what has happened in the last two days. The attack frequency of those crystal cluster monsters is accelerating, and the intensity is also rising. There may even be a large army charge. Aligner beam cannons are needed to clear them out—and such large armies have seldom appeared before after the cluster monsters went into frenzy."

"This may be some kind of omen. The strongest 'monster' created by the death of all things and out of control should have already started its activities," Gao Wen said quickly, "Continue to pay close attention to the situation on the plain and report any abnormalities as soon as possible. ——In addition, remind the armored commandos entering the theater that once they encounter a strange and powerful enemy that is difficult to resist, they should not fight to the death and retreat immediately to ensure that intelligence is the top priority."

"Yes."

After the communication ended, Maryland exhaled slightly, and then came to the window covered with shields, staring at the steel defense line and the scorched earth plain outside the defense line.

The track system carrying the Iron Throne has extended to the edge of Fort Soling, and the line of defense has also advanced to the edge of Fort Soling. At the foot of the mountains that connect the East Territory and the Holy Spirit Plain, countless temporary blockhouses, sentry towers, artillery positions, and the Iron Throne are common. An indestructible line of defense is formed, but this line of defense does not use strong walls and shields to resist the enemy, or in other words, it does not only use strong walls and shields to resist the enemy.

Its main defense method is to smash all those who come close.

Maryland, who has been the commander of Rock Fortress for many years, has always been quite confident in the field of defensive warfare, but it was not until he came into contact with the Cecils that he found the true meaning of defensive warfare as if opening the door to a new world——

The best defense is offense, as the popular saying among white knights says: the best cure is to kill the attacker early.

Behind the "platform" where the Iron Throne is docked, on the top of a stone ridge, a watchtower built with a metal frame is standing in the wind. There are shimmering shields floating around the watchtower. The top of the watchtower is used for communication and transit The signal crystal device was slowly rotating under the drive of the mechanical structure. Below the crystal device, in a hut covered with steel plates, the sentry was vigilantly observing the direction of the plain.

The sentinel holds a military telescope in his hand. Based on the original optical structure, this new type of telescope also adds a magic state that enhances the field of vision, which further improves the effect of ordinary people using it. In the clear field of view produced by the telescope, the sentinel's sight is slowing down. Slowly swept across the ruins in the distance.

Everything seems to be normal except for the cluster monsters running around in the field of vision from time to time.

The sentry withdrew his gaze and rubbed his eyes, but just as he was about to turn his gaze to another direction, a strange flash of light suddenly entered his field of vision.

The flash lighted up from a very far distance. It wasn't bright at all, but it seemed to have a strong sense of presence with some kind of magic power. At first, the sentinel thought it was an illusion, but soon he saw the second flash The appearance of the flash, and then the flash turned into a constant brilliance, rising in the distance...

In a war zone full of all kinds of magic power, it is not surprising that there are only some lights, but after watching the lights for a while, the sentinel suddenly felt a little heart palpitations - he actually felt a sense of real power from the lights. malicious!

Without any hesitation, the sentinel immediately tapped the button closest to him.

The ear-piercing alarm bell rang instantly in the tactical section of the Iron Throne. Maryland suddenly raised her head and heard a communication from the sentinel on the top of the mountain: "Sir! An unknown flash of light has been observed in the southwest! The flash has extraordinary power!"

Maryland soon also observed the light that appeared on the plain, and now it has completely become a hazy beam of light, exuding a strong sense of existence, and amidst the floating light, there is a strange sense of malice and madness that continues to spread. Come.

That illusory aura couldn't have any real impact, but it was enough to make Maryland instantly alert—he realized that it might be the "vision" that Gawain was referring to.

"Connect to Saint-Sunil immediately," the commander said loudly, and then turned to his subordinates, "Knight Ampere, immediately send a reconnaissance force to the place where the light rises to check the situation—remember Don't be careless!"

……

To the southwest of the Iron Throne line of defense, near the ruins of Thorinburg covered in scorched soil, the ground has already cracked, and a huge figure shrouded in holy light but full of chaotic aura slowly walked out of the crack on the ground, quietly Standing in place.

This is a huge giant deer, with light-cast antlers and crystal-like eyes, pure radiance surrounds it, and a holy voice is vaguely floating in the brilliance, but the body of this giant deer is hideous. It is terrifying and frightening to look at: its fur is cracked in large pieces, dirty flesh and blood wriggling between the fur, a large number of scorched or festering scars are all over its limbs, and swelling and deformed structures can be seen around the wound. Every muscle, every inch of skin is constantly agitating and trembling, as if those flesh and blood structures are forcibly pieced together by countless disordered factors, and are struggling to split at this moment.

But the giant deer itself didn't seem to notice these terrible wounds and mutations at all. It just stood quietly on the edge of the ruined town, like a soulless body.

Chapter 0653 Body of False God

The plain was filled with the smell of scorched earth after flames burned. The dry hot wind from the east rolled up sand and dust and slapped on the track guards of the tanks. Twelve tanks were lined up in a vigilant procession, facing the sinking The setting sun crushed the scorched ground of the Holy Spirit Plain.

The company commander Senior was in the command vehicle, observing the situation in the distance through the periscope.

This is a reconnaissance team - a reconnaissance team with strong firepower and excellent survivability. It has nine Warhammer main tanks and three Steel Ambassador tanks, as well as dozens of experienced, loyal and brave soldiers. Such a team is enough to defeat ten times or even dozens of times the number of old-style aristocratic troops, and break through a fortress occupied by extraordinary people below the middle level. In terms of "reconnaissance team", it can be said that it is a bit too strong, but On the scorched earth of this war zone, Senior still needs to be extremely cautious.

Because the plains are full of wandering drake giants, and he and his company have entered areas that have not been "purified".

Around Solinburg, this is the area where the cluster giants ravaged the most, and the wounds suffered by the land and towns were naturally more tragic. Along the way, Senior saw countless collapsed and abandoned city walls and deserted farms, built by the rich. The gorgeous houses were demolished into ruins, and the once precious fertile land was trampled and devastated. When they were still sane, the crystal cluster giants had at least a trace of order, but since they fell into frenzy, they began to destroy everything in their path Things, basically nothing survives where they've gathered.

The vibration generated by the engine running of the chariot came from under his body. This heavy and sturdy steel machine gave Senior a sense of security—a few months ago, he was just a newcomer to magic equipment. The junior mechanic was sent to the northern battlefield after a short period of assault training. It was the pressure of the battlefield and actual combat experience that made him really proficient, and he even became the commander of the company—for the entire newly formed As far as the chariot units trained out of emergency, there are not a few commanders like him who have grown rapidly on the battlefield and been promoted rapidly.

Senior moved his eyes away from the periscope, gave the position to the observer, and came to the vehicle communication station himself: "Be careful, we are getting close."

For middle and lower-level command nodes and ordinary tanks, the vehicle communication station is a simplified magic network terminal - the projection crystal is removed to reduce costs, and it can only transmit sound signals within a limited range, which can be regarded as the most basic The communication spell, but even with such simplified equipment, the role it can play on the battlefield is still invaluable.

The tanks responded, and the reconnaissance unit consisting of twelve tanks slowed down slightly. The three steel ambassadors adjusted their positions forward to ensure that the emergency shield booster could cover the entire convoy in time. Meanwhile, Senior pushed away the upper armor plate, poked out half of his head, and directly observed the situation on the plain.

This behavior may seem dangerous, but Senior's experience tells him that doing so is actually not a big problem: the protection of "Warhammer Type I" mainly relies on the shield system, this layer of shield is stronger than steel, and the chariot's Armor is only an "alternative solution" that provides limited protection after the shield fails, sticking your head out of the hull is a viable solution in situations where visual observation is required - if attacked, the shield can protect By himself, and if the attack strength reaches the level that can penetrate the shield in an instant, then hiding behind the armor plate is meaningless.

In front of the field of vision, the white radiance with a sense of holiness is already clearly visible. Even without the aid of any equipment, you can clearly see all kinds of strange halos it presents in the air, and the radiance contains strong malice, The aura of hidden madness has also become stronger than before, even so strong that it makes ordinary people faintly tremble.

Senior didn't know what he was going to face. After all, he was only executing orders, but the incredible power contained in that brilliance was enough for anyone to be vigilant, enough for him to realize that what he was going to face was an extraordinary domain The most dangerous part of the "secret".

Fortunately, in this era, even ordinary people have ways to deal with the transcendent realm.
