Amid the steam of the industrial revolution, mysteries surge beneath the surface. Cults and secret societies seek the extraordinary in the shadows, while hidden gods gaze upon humanity from the hea...
"After that, I contacted a few colleagues and found that they all had the same situation. That's why I thought there was something wrong with our Yixu and its ability to resist poison had weakened. But the problem is that our Yixu was clearly overhauled collectively yesterday, so Yixu's disease was most likely caused by the overhaul.
"From then on, I realized that someone might have tampered with the rituals, and there were people with ill intentions in the church, but I was not sure, so I did not take any action. I just prayed more in the following time. I pretended to study the scriptures, and I closed my eyes when I watched the rituals... It was not until this morning that Deacon Cork behaved too abnormally because of the joint letter, so I began to suspect him..."
After Vanya finished speaking, she fell silent with a nervous mood. After listening to her words, Anrefus thought silently for a while, and then spoke.
"Sister Vanya, I sent someone to investigate your background and current situation and found that there is nothing wrong. What you reported is all true, and the inspection of you did not find any problems. Your words are convincing enough.
"You are observant, calm in the face of adversity, and steadfast in your piety... I am glad that the Lord has such an excellent servant as you, and I am glad that you are one of us."
Anrefos said seriously, and Yuvaniya immediately responded modestly.
"No, no, as the Lord's servant, I am far from being good enough. I still have a lot to do..."
"You don't need to be modest about this matter. I've said before, Sister Vanya, that your report this time has cleared the hidden dangers for the church. The church will not be stingy in rewarding devout believers who have made contributions... Sister Anlei, I have finished my questions, it's your turn."
As he spoke, Anrefos looked at the old nun who had been standing silently for a long time. She looked at Vanya with a smile and said.
"Sister Vanya, the archbishop has learned of your story. As a reward, the archbishop has granted you the rank of mid-level deacon."
"Promotion..."
Hearing the old nun's words, Vanya blinked in disbelief. She had originally thought that she could get away with it safely this time and that everything would be fine as long as she wasn't discovered. She hadn't expected that she could even get a chance for promotion this time because of her merits.
"Fei, thank you very much for the Archbishop's gift. I will continue to devote myself to the Lord in the future."
Vanya put her hand on her chest and said thank you, and the old nun nodded and continued to answer.
"Well... I hope you can keep up the good work. By the way, since your teaching rank is going to be promoted to Intermediate Deacon, your Extraordinary rank will also be promoted to Black Earth rank to match it. You now need to choose one of the Three Saints as your promotion route. After you have made your choice, we will prepare the corresponding ceremony for you to help you accumulate the remaining spirituality."
"The Path of the Three Saints?" Vanya spoke with some confusion after hearing the old nun's words, and Ann Refus beside her spoke.
"Heh, don't be stupid reading history books. When you reach the Black Earth Stage, Beyonders need to choose auxiliary spirituality to determine their future paths. The Three Saints' Paths are the three paths that Beyonders in our church can choose to advance."
Anrefus explained that he knew very well that most of the Extraordinary people in the History Department were tool people used to operate rituals and study legends. It was extremely difficult for them to get opportunities for promotion. Many of them spent their entire lives there as apprentices, so many of them were not very clear about the Extraordinary advancement model within the church.
"Sister Vanya, to advance to the Black Earth Rank, you need to choose a secondary spirituality and select one of the three branches as your route for future advancement. These three branches also happen to correspond to the Three Saints.
"If you choose 'Silence' as your auxiliary spirituality, then you have chosen the way of the Father. If you choose 'Stone' as your auxiliary spirituality, then you have chosen the way of the Son. If you choose 'Cup' as your auxiliary spirituality, then you have chosen the way of the Mother.
"Unless there are some special circumstances, we will choose a branch path based on our main beliefs. So Sister Vanya, can you tell me which of the three saints you mainly believe in?"
The old nun spoke in a gentle tone, and after a slight pause, Yuvanya spoke.
“I have followed the teachings of the Virgin Mary since I was a child.”

Tivian North Church, 17 Greenshade Town.
At night, in the study, Dorothy sat at her desk, carefully opening the book she got from Coke, a book that was originally stored in the church library and that Coke had stolen with great effort.
Dorothy frowned as she looked at the words on the page. She had great difficulty reading the biography in front of her. The reason was that this biography was not written in Puget Sound... at least not entirely.
The language used in this biography is very close to Putin, but there are some differences. Many of the words are extremely old. Dorothy could only see these words when she was reading ancient Putin documents in the library of the University of Cambridge. However, this is not a pure Old Putin article, because it also contains remnants of another language. Dorothy is somewhat confused by this language, which is the Imperial language.
Dorothy could see Imperial language in the poems of the King of Light and in the messages beside the Mirror Moon statue. At this moment, there were also many letters in Imperial language in the ancient biography in Dorothy's hand, which seemed to be a mixture of Old Plexiglas and Imperial language.
Qian:?,xun?!;Free:!Novel,,,,skirt.:."2!5!"5?,5.;9:..,5..,3,!0!?0 No, it cannot be said to be mixed, because the two languages in the legend are not written separately, a section of Old Phra Phrom here, a section of Imperial language there, the two are completely mixed together with residuals, as if the writer of the legend wrote them as one language.
Faced with this situation, Dorothy was confused and had some guesses in her mind.
"Maybe... this is a language."
Looking at the series of phonetic letters on the book, Dorothy murmured that the identity between Old Put and Imperial language in front of her seemed to mean that they seemed to be one language.
Or to be more precise, Pūra evolved from Imperial language, and this biography was written at a certain period in this evolutionary process, so there is a situation where Old Pūra letters and Imperial language letters are mixed together.
"Puttish... is it derived from Imperial? So... Puttish was once the Empire referred to in the Imperial language? The Empire created by the Lord of Light?"
Suddenly, such an idea came into Dorothy's mind, but she did not rush to confirm it. She took out another book from her desk and opened it.
This book also contains a bunch of phonetic letters. Although it is not Pulitzer, there are many similarities between the letters used.
This book is a foreign book, a dictionary of Farano, a neighboring country on the main continent, across the sea from Putt. Dorothy borrowed it from the library, hoping to learn some foreign languages in exchange for new dragon shouts.
A closer look reveals that both Farano and Putin are phonetic scripts. Although there are differences between the letters, there are also many similarities. Even the vocabulary has many similarities. It is obvious that these are two related languages.
If you compare Farano with the legendary Imperial language, you can find similarities...even the different letters in Putin and Farano seem to have their prototypes in the Imperial language.
This means that...if Puteh evolved from Imperial, then Farano may also have evolved from Imperial. Imperial is the common ancestor of Puteh and Farano, two modern great languages.
"That is to say... Gupta is not the empire, but a part of it... Farano on the mainland was also once a part of the empire..."
Dorothy murmured this, and then she looked at the world map with three continents hanging on the side of the study, and she set her eyes on the main continent.
From the knowledge I recently acquired from the library and the news I read in the newspaper, it seems that all the countries in the entire main continent use more or less similar phonetic characters. So could it be that the languages of all these countries evolved from the Imperial language?
Could it be that these entire continents were once under the rule of the King of Light and were the territories of the empire he founded?
