Mysteries: Arcana Wars

Adventurers carrying bounties disappear into unsurveilled alleys, and hapless wandering magicians who can't find a job enter the vision of modern society.

The inquest at the Meradas Casino is scheduled for tomorrow at 7:30.

Now it seems that the time is indeed a little urgent. If he waits a few more days, Klein thinks he can be more prepared. But Angel is very eager to act. He must seize the opportunity that has finally appeared and make up for his clumsiness in the past two years.

However, Klein also thought that they had to move faster. It had only been two months since he woke up, and so many things had already happened.

A strong and inexplicable feeling of uneasiness lingered around Klein. He didn't know what he should do or what he was doing, but he vaguely felt that something was brewing and that he was being led by an invisible pair of hands.

The door was open, which was Melissa's instruction; the window was cracked, which was Melissa's instruction; the fish jumped, which was Melissa's instruction... Klein seemed to be able to feel that Melissa and others were trying to provide Klein with information through various means outside of this reality.

But this information is too obscure, difficult to discern and difficult to interpret - no, it is difficult to interpret using normal logic.

It was an instruction, a code. There was no reason, no evidence. Neither the extraordinary power nor the material world could give an answer. But it forcefully grabbed Klein's spirit and told him that it was the direction.

The longer he revived in this era, the more he could sense those strange and disturbing feelings of disharmony. Those strange and tiny instructions were trying to break through the hazy and illusory membrane, eager to show Klein their presence.

Klein felt like this was a game, and he was walking on a progress bar. Someone was desperately trying to push him forward, but he didn't know what would happen when the progress bar was full.

He didn't dare to really stop, because Klein could feel that he was not the only one in this game who was running wildly on his progress bar.

What would happen if they were one step ahead of me?

What would happen if I were one step ahead of others?

A strong sense of crisis drove Klein to speed up his pace as much as possible. Because even if he didn't hurry up, disasters and events would catch up with him. Instead of waiting for death, it's better to take the initiative.

Seizing the opportunity does not mean facing the enemy with a blank slate. Klein does not fight a battle without preparation. As soon as he got out of the door, he began to wander around the streets of Bayam, trying to get close to passers-by and chatting and bragging in the form of free street performances.

I don't want any money, I just want to give benefits to everyone. It can't be considered that I'm performing illegally, right?

After walking for several blocks, tall and impressive churches popped their heads out from among the skyscrapers.

Cathedral, drunk and lost in the boat.

As the headquarters of the lost Church of the Lost God, the Cathedral of the Lost Boat is the most magnificent and exquisite church in the entire Rorsted Archipelago, and is also the faith center of the entire Rorsted Republic. Before taking office, each governor, regardless of his faith, must receive the blessing and appointment of the Pope of the Lost Church in the Cathedral of the Lost Boat. Although the Governor of Rorsted is elected by the parliament, nominally speaking, the Governor is appointed by God. Regardless of origin and religion, the Lost Church, as the state religion, will hold an inauguration ceremony for each Governor equally to undertake the mission.

The cathedral is several times taller than the Holy Wind Cathedral in Klein's memory. Influenced by Loen's architecture, it presents a Gothic-style building. The whole building is white, with many green and blue decorative patterns on the exterior, representing the dense tropical rainforest and endless blue sea of ​​the Rorsted Archipelago. On the highest points of the building, such as the roof and the spire, the church presents many complex golden patterns and gold carvings, with some black lines, using yellow and black to represent the gods. The carvings and statues in the details are lifelike, but there are few figures, and most of them are flowers. In the reliefs and murals that tell the story of the ceremony, the faces of the saints are almost never revealed, and as for the gods, there is no specific description of their forms at all.

As for why it was called "The Wine-filled Boat", Klein had heard many different opinions.

According to official statements, it is to commemorate the pioneers who built the Rorsted Archipelago. In the early days of the Fifth Epoch Colonial Period, the local indigenous tribes and the locals of the archipelago were severely oppressed by the Loen colonists. These Loen colonists would "hire" the locals at very low prices or even in the form of forced labor. If there were mentally abnormal, disabled or handicapped local employees, the colonists would get them drunk, throw them on a wooden boat, and send them to the vast ocean to explore life, so that they could evade the "legally required" pension on the grounds of "missing employees."

In that era and environment, "mental disorder" was a very vague concept. The colonists gradually used this name to deal with pagans who refused to give up their native religions and other stubborn elements. Therefore, before the real wave of resistance matured, many rebels who believed in the native "sea god" Kalvetuwa were captured by the colonists, then drunk, forced to go crazy in front of the public, and finally tied to a simple raft and thrown off the coast to fend for themselves, and eventually lost in the vast ocean.

It is said that many people could hear the people on the raft calling out to the "sea god" Kalvetuwa after the raft disappeared.

The "sea god" Kalvetuwa is the vanguard of the Lost God. Those who follow the "sea god" are of course the believers of the Lost God. So when the first church of the Lost God was started, it was named to commemorate the pioneers and fighters before the arrival of the wave of the times.

Of course, there are also some folk opinions that "餍酒迷舟" is alluding to this fucked up world, like a ship full of lunatics and drunkards heading towards the sea of ​​hell of destruction; others believe that this refers to the ship carrying the lost god who got lost in the sea of ​​​​the world. From then on, the unknown god took away all traces of His existence from the world, leaving behind sober and confused people on the shore.

…Although the name is very sophisticated, the allusion is also very sophisticated, and the church has a long history…

But after Klein confirmed that this lost Church of the Lost God was the Church of Fools that had been transformed by magic, he felt an inexplicable itching in his hands and feet every time he listened to such tourist explanations.

…Everything is fine, but why does it sound so painful…

Some devout believers were chanting and lighting candles in the church, holding some kind of prayer ceremony. Klein's scalp was tingling, but he had to squeeze into the prayer area with the mentality of "since I'm here, I might as well take a look."

As the God of Lost Realm himself, he doesn't even know how to perform these rituals. How is that acceptable?

As soon as the blessing ceremony ended, Klein was the first to leave the church by running for his feet.

Sure enough, I am still too immature now!

Farewell!
