Mysterious Catastrophe

"That's a pity..."

'Raven' shook its wings, and made a very anthropomorphic gesture of 'I can't help it'.

"It seems...the matter of the 'Gate of Longevity' needs to be carefully planned."

Aaron looked at 'Raven': "I want you to lobby those seniors who are neutral and bias towards us, and acquiesce in Motura's promotion... After I succeed, I will give you a rich reward beyond imagination..."

"No problem, I'm glad to serve you!"

This is not the East. The Western thinking is to put everything on the negotiating table and clearly mark the price.

'Raven' happily made an additional investment: "I will deposit this generous remuneration with you, and I will return it later...According to bankers, compound interest and time are the most important factors for capital appreciation. Good friend! I believe in this sentence, and I have enough patience and time to wait..."

After finishing speaking, the gloomy temperament on 'Raven' disappeared without a trace.

In fact, when he took a trace of the 'Gate of Longevity' brand from the spirit world before, his aura was already very weak, and at this moment it even shattered like soap bubbles.

"Oh... who attacked Uncle Bran?"

The crow swayed, fell to the ground, and then flew up again, with a feeling of being out of breath.

Immediately, it saw Aaron, and its body trembled.

Even though it didn't know Aaron's identity, the ancient majesty from the spirit world made it crawl on the ground.

"Respected and noble lord, your loyal, humble and obedient Bran is willing to serve you!"

"Nice little guy, very polite."

Aaron boasted: "You can call me Your Excellency the Earl... Now I need you to help the descendant of my nephew, save people from the Church of the God of Wisdom."

"Follow your wishes..."

Bran saluted again: "Great, noble, mysterious, and benevolent Earl!"

"Ah."

Aaron held a gold-encrusted cane, and his figure disappeared instantly.

……

Bran let out a long sigh at this time: "Fuck, I scared my uncle to death..."

"My uncle lost consciousness just now. It seems that... the wise, tolerant, and glorious ancestors awakened in my body?"

"And, have you reached an agreement with the Earl?"

"Damn... eat shit... It seems that we have to rescue the pair of sisters... But it doesn't matter... With the will of the ancestors, which bastard dares to stop it? This uncle is going to pull it on his head..."

At this moment, Bran's unclosed eyes turned, as if he saw something, flapped his wings, and came to an alley.

William, who was pulling up his collar and covering half of his face, stopped suddenly.

He raised his head and saw Bran parked on the street lamp: "Dead crow... where did you go?"

"Quack... idiot, stupid, lazy William... cheer with joy!"

Bran raised a wing: "Because the handsome, brave, and wise Uncle Bran is ready to help you complete the task."

……

a few days later.

Outside the temple of knowledge built of pure white bricks and stones.

Bran changed his face and watched a luxurious carriage drive slowly away from the church area.

"Sure enough... the news is the same as what I got."

William looked at the carriage going away, with a triumphant smile on his face: "Pope Harold Egger will go to other cities to attend the Continental Academic Symposium, and will not return for at least a week."

"This is the news that my uncle has worked so hard to inquire about. Of course, there will be no mistakes."

Bran's voice came from William's chest: "So... hurry up!"

"At least we have to wait until Harold Egger leaves Pulmouth completely...I don't want to be directly killed by this crown prince..."

William was still wide awake.

He is a very cautious person. Although the divination he did after drinking coffee this morning showed that everything will go well, he still remains vigilant.

……

three days later.

night.

William came to this familiar place familiarly.

"A great performance is about to begin, but unfortunately there is no audience."

A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and various symbols representing knowledge quickly covered his body.

As these symbols flickered, his whole body even began to distort and deform... From a living creature to a series of information and knowledge flows...

The non-human forms of 'sages' are quite special, they can even temporarily maintain the form of 'invisible knowledge'!

Of course, this kind of maintenance time is very short and requires a carrier, but it is enough for now.

Countless characters, symbols... all drilled into a blank book.

On the pale yellow pages of the book, lines of text immediately appeared.

Some of them are chaotic, like the scribbles of a madman, and some describe the travel stories of a "Bachelor William" in a beautiful tone.

What is horrifying is that on a certain page, those words gathered together like ants, forming an eye that keeps looking around!

pat!

According to William's vision, Bran picked up the book directly and discarded it on the road that the night watchmen would inevitably pass by during their night patrol.

The disciples of the God of Wisdom respect knowledge and the carrier of knowledge—books!

When you encounter a discarded book, you will definitely pick it up and put it away properly.

And in the direction of the Pure White Temple library, there happened to be a prison entrance!

That's William's plan!

He couldn't enter the church by himself, but he could let the church members bring him in!

Not long after, a night watchman with a lantern passed by this section of the road, looking at the books on the ground in surprise: "Which monk threw the book here? This is a blasphemy against knowledge!"

He quickly picked up the book, fondled the writing lovingly: "Huh? "The Book of William Shire"...a name I've never heard of. Huh?"

After turning a few pages, the night watchman immediately realized that it involved secrets!

The night watchman's expression suddenly became serious.

Although believers in knowledge worship knowledge, they also know the dangers of knowledge.

In particular, books that involve secrets are strictly graded, all for the sake of the rationality of believers.

So instead of being blinded by greed, he caught a bomb.

"Captain Kings...I found a mysterious book, which may have been dropped by a deacon...I must send it back to the library immediately."

The night watchman found his captain and reported seriously.

The captain of this team of night watchmen is a middle-aged man with blue eyes. He glanced at the bibliography and his expression became serious: "It is not in the low-level bibliographies I remember. It may carry pollution. It comes from 'Restricted section'...you did the right thing, send it to the library immediately, and ask a special person to review it..."

Chapter 480 Bewitched

The night watchman held the book and entered the 'Temple of Knowledge'.

He wants to go to the 'big library', hand in the mysterious books in his arms, and ask special inspectors to identify hidden dangers and pollution.

He walked into the pure white palace and passed through multiple checks...

But what the night watchman didn't realize was that while he was walking, words crawled out of the gaps in the pages of the book like ants, and covered his hands through skin contact, like two dark chains.

When he walked halfway, the night watchman's face also climbed up the rune, and his eyes turned pure black.

He stopped, with a strange smile on his face: "Easier than imagined..."

In fact, William overlooked a problem, that is, the Church of the God of Wisdom, as an ancient sect with a pure 'tower' approach, is very familiar with the inhuman form of the 'wise man', and will never miss relevant inspections.

However, with a pope personally opening the back door for him, the Temple of Knowledge certainly couldn't detect his problem.

After controlling the night watchman, William allowed those dark runes to penetrate under the skin, even his eyes became normal, and he walked towards the underground prison.

While walking, he manipulated the other party and silently recited a manuscript on the study of sleep and dreams.

'Wise men' master knowledge and can turn intangible knowledge into tangible things. In their hands, knowledge is the best weapon!

Accompanied by William's chanting, small insects between illusion and reality emerged one after another, the size of sesame seeds, and flew into the cracks of the dungeon.

Not long after, the sound of falling and falling asleep came from within.

William stepped into the tunnel and saw a guard lying on the ground, with a smile on his face: "Sleep...sleep..."

To be honest, he still feels very guilty about the Church of the God of Wisdom. After all, he has plucked the opponent's wool before, twice!

He didn't want to confront the opponent head-on and even kill the priest of the opponent until the necessary time.

After putting the guards to sleep, William finally followed the route map to the entrance of the underground prison according to the information he had obtained before, and saw a door composed of countless mysterious symbols.

Above the gate, the most prominent part is carved into the image of a sphinx.

"This... seems to be an ancient creature in the spirit world? Known for its wisdom..."

A wealth of learning was immediately recognizable before William came to the gate.

Click!

Click!

At this time, the eyes of the ancient sphinx statue shone brightly, and it came alive directly, making William's spirit tremble unconsciously.

'So strong...is it a magical item?Living magical items?At least equivalent to the Extraordinary of the fifth or even sixth essence, right?Angel class? '

William lamented in his heart, and he was about to pray loudly to the 'Earl of Green Forest', asking for his direct help.

At this time, the stone sculpture of the sphinx said in the ancient language of the spirit world: "If you want to pass through this door, you must answer a question for me. If you answer wrong, I will eat you!"

'so close! '

However, William let out a long breath slowly: "It turned out to be this kind of monster that doesn't distinguish between enemy and friend... I did hear a little rumor before that angel-level items have some special rules..."

"As long as I meet its requirements, can I directly enter the underground prison?"

He thought about it, and felt that this might be more convenient: "Please ask questions!"

The Sphinx spoke in a solemn voice: "Three major problems in occultism—the resurrection of the dead, the creation of souls, and the panacea! Where should the panacea be found?"

'Damn...how do I know? '

William's eyes widened: "Is this stone statue serious?"If it had always asked this kind of question before, how did the Church of the God of Wisdom satisfy it?Give it one person to eat each time? '

Cold sweat quickly oozes from his forehead, and he wants to back away.

But the next moment, William discovered that no matter which direction he evacuated, he would eventually return to this door.

This is the use of 'philosopher' for 'paradox'!

"This mystical item is definitely left behind by the Extraordinary of the 'Tower' path..."

After William found that he could not escape, he had begun to despair, and at the same time he was thinking about the Sphinx.

'The panacea is a medicine that can treat all diseases and injuries... Extraordinary people even think that it can completely solve the pollution problem... Huh? '

William suddenly discovered that he seemed to know the answer to this question, maybe... he knew it!

Because, he once used a 'rational amulet' to solve his own pollution problem!

Although... that talisman of reason was stolen from the Church of the God of Wisdom!

After figuring this out, looking at the increasingly dangerous Sphinx, William answered:

"The answer is...'The Talisman of Reason', that is, the mighty power of the 'False Spirit', it is the panacea!"

This answer made William a little ashamed, as if admitting that he had been a thief.

The sphinx watched William, and the sense of danger gradually dissipated.

It stopped moving and seemed to be dead again, while the ancient gate was slowly opening.
