Chapter 498: Props

Inside the ruins of the hall of Baruch Palace, Shadi stood among them, silently watching Vanya go away. After she disappeared from his sight, he cast his gaze to the vast sky, watching the thunder and lightning that were still roaring and falling from above, then he frowned and murmured.

"Setut... her words seemed unclear. It seemed like she said something important, but it also seemed like she didn't say anything. Can you hear more?"

"Me? There is only so much I can determine from her words. I can only make some guesses based on what she said... As for the accuracy of these guesses... I can't be sure..."

Beside Shadi, the shadow of Setut slowly emerged. At this moment, he was also looking far away in the direction where Vanya disappeared, with a solemn expression on his haggard face.

"Guess... What can you guess? What do you think their current strength is?"

Shadi continued to ask Setut, as the leader of the Adus Revolutionary Army, what he was most concerned about must be the strength of this mysterious organization. Only by having a rough idea of ​​their strength would he have a clear idea when communicating with them in the future.

"Their strength? I can't tell much about that. Judging from their performance today, they were able to use the city defense formations in the Qiwen Temple and control the nun with spiritual threads, which means they have demonstrated the abilities of the two branches of the Qi path, the Thunder Master and the Puppet Master. This means that their sect should have a certain scale, at least able to successfully provide the extraordinary resources to cultivate the two branches, and both are at least in the formation stage, which is something that many ordinary associations cannot do now.

"So, in my opinion, their strength should not be underestimated. Although they did not show their creative ability this time, it does not mean that they do not have it... You need to be more cautious when you come into contact with them."

Setut warned Shadi like this. Listening to Setut's words, Shadi nodded thoughtfully and then responded.

"Being able to provide two promotion chains at least to the Chalk Stage at the same time, the possibility of such an organization being successful is quite high. I will communicate with them carefully..."

"Well... the cult that the priest belongs to can allow people to embark on the path of enlightenment again after thousands of years. It can enlighten the faith of the divine master. I think there are a lot of secrets in it. Using ambiguous words instead of directly answering questions is also a means to prevent important information from being leaked. If you want to know more about their secrets in the future, you may have to gain their trust more."

Setut continued to speak like this, and listening to Setut's words, Shadi tilted his head slightly, and then continued to speak.

"From what you said, you want me to continue to maintain a good relationship with them and get to know them better? Then why don't you go and contact them yourself? They believe in the ancient god Tianpanguan who lived seven thousand years ago, and you are also the ghost of a noble from the First Dynasty seven thousand years ago. You should have a common language, right?" Shadi said this to Setut. He could clearly see that Setut was eager to contact that cult, but for some reason he didn't want to show up in person, so he put himself in front of the stage instead. This move made Shadi a little confused.

After hearing what Shadi said, Setut did not respond immediately, but remained silent for a while, as if he had thought about it, before continuing to speak.

"I have my own considerations. Before I figure out whether they truly believe in the Divine Master's sect and whether they truly represent the Divine Master's will, I will not appear in front of them..."

"What if you are sure that they are imposters pretending to be the judge of heaven?"

“If they are impostors who are just using the name of the Divine Master to make a profit, then that’s fine. But if they use the name of the Divine Master to do something that blasphemous to the Divine Master, I will make them taste the consequences…”

"So they are really the agents of the Heavenly Judge, and are even preparing for the resurrection of the Heavenly Judge. Do you want to show up in front of them immediately to communicate?"

Shadi continued to ask Setut in this way, and Setut was slightly startled after hearing what Shadi said. He did not answer immediately. After he pondered for a while, he slowly sighed and spoke.

"We'll see what happens then. I also want to be under the grace of the Divine Master again... But in a sense, in front of the true Divine Master's apostle, I am now a sinner..."

After the conversation with Shadi, Dorothy in the Temple of Enlightenment began to deal with the aftermath of the battle. She controlled Vanya to walk out of the palace and asked Neveu to pick her up who was still unconscious. At the same time, she continued to use the city defense system to drop lightning to attack the Savior armed forces in various parts of Addis. After losing the support of Mukhtar's discipline, these armed men suddenly turned back into ordinary people. They had no room for resistance when facing Dorothy's lightning that kept falling from the sky.

After witnessing their companions being struck to death, these armed men of the Savior faction behaved as ordinary people would when faced with the mighty thunder. Amid the bright light and loud noise of the thunder that continued to fall, the armed men of the Savior faction fled in all directions. Without the protection of the discipline, they fled in panic, and their army was in disarray.

Finally, after defeating all the savior factions in Addis, Dorothy breathed a sigh of relief when she witnessed Shadi commanding his revolutionary army to take control of the order of the whole city and appease the lives of ordinary people. Then she found an opportunity to inquire about the method in the Temple of Qiwen, broke away from the hidden space, and returned to her home without anyone noticing.

Under Dorothy's arrangement, the unconscious Vanya was placed in a safe place by Nefernis, and the stone box on her body was passed into the hands of the zombie and sent to Dorothy's place. Dorothy stood on the balcony of her hotel room, looking at the smoke-filled city in front of her, waiting for the zombie eagle to fly to her side and put the stone box that belonged to Mukhtar into Dorothy's hands.

After getting the stone box, Dorothy immediately began to count the spoils. She sat down at the desk in the room, placed the stone box that had been carefully inspected and opened by the corpse before on the table, and began to check the items stored inside. Mukhtar's stone box had a lot less storage space than her own magic box, only about one-third of the size of Aldridge's work, but it could still hold a lot of things.
