"No way, this Security Bureau doesn't have any information about the Shadow Lord God? Are you still an extraordinary organization of Shadow?"
Dorothy, who was sitting in a carriage on the street in the distance, complained in her heart that she had originally planned to use the information from the insider to exchange information about the Lord of Shadows and even the holy emblem from the Security Bureau, but after hearing what Misha said, they had no information about the Lord of Shadows! They had never even heard of his name, which made Dorothy very depressed for a while.
Although Dorothy knew that the presence of these pure-color gods in the Fourth Epoch was very low, it shouldn't be this low. Although the Glowing Savior was marginalized, he was still well-known, and everyone knew that His status was above the Three Saints.
Although Cup-Lord and Hades are not known to the public as foreign gods outside the Church of Radiance, they are at least somewhat well-known in the spiritual associations of Japan, and they still have a nominally respected status. At least those who believe in Tao Wolf still have to call Cup-Lord the relative of their own god when they mention him.
But it's miserable for Prince Stone. His reputation in the spiritual field is very low, and basically no one believes in him. He is only treated as a subject for archaeological research. His influence in the 'stone' field, the core of the order structure, is too great. Apart from this, there is only dark gold.
Dorothy thought that the Lord God of "Shadow" was in a similar situation to that of the Stone Prince, but she didn't expect that the Lord God of "Shadow" whose name she didn't even know was even more miserable. He didn't even know the name of the association in his own spiritual realm. It was estimated that the Lord God of "Enlightenment" who didn't even have an association at present and whose entire inheritance was completely cut off was even more miserable than him.
Dorothy was thinking gloomily in her heart that Misha's lack of knowledge about the information about the "Shadow" Pure Color God had disrupted her plan. It became impossible for her to obtain the holy emblem of the "Shadow" Pure Color God from Misha, which put her preparations for the promotion ceremony at a standstill for a while, which made her a little anxious for a while.
"There's nothing I can do now. All I can do now is see if I can get some relevant clues."
Dorothy thought so in her heart with a solemn look, and then she manipulated Ed in the distant church to speak to Misha.
"If you don't know the information about the Pure Color God...how much do you know about the Mirror Moon God Statue?"
"Mirror Moon Statue?"
"It's the goddess statue with a replaced head in the underground of Guanda. You must have seen it after you took over the ruins in the underground of Guanda. As far as we know, the people of Bajian are looking for similar statues to perform some kind of blasphemous rituals. There are also such desecrated statues in the Shaved Mountains of Ulster. You should know something about this..."
In the church, Ed spoke to Misha in a serious tone, and Misha was silent after hearing it.
"Oh, you mean the statue of the Moon Saint."
"The Moon Saint? Is that what you call the statue?"
"Yes, such statues are occasionally unearthed in the ruins in Pulit. We call this kind of statue the Moon Saint Statue in our bureau. We have called it that since a long time ago. We are not unfamiliar with this thing, but we cannot say that we understand it."
Misha said this. Listening to her words, Ed couldn't help but turn his eyes slightly and looked towards the altar of the Three Saints in the center of the church. The word "saint" made Dorothy think of the Three Saints. Then he thought of what Vanya once said about the altar of the Mirror Moon Goddess having a hint of the style of the early Glowing Church, so this Mirror Moon Goddess and the Glowing Church might have some connection.
"Since statues like this are occasionally unearthed in Preet, as an official extraordinary institution, don't you study them and try to figure out their origins?" Ed continued to ask Misha, and Misha waved her hand in response.
"It's not that we haven't studied it, but the conclusion is that the history of this statue is longer than the history of the entire kingdom, and it may be traced back to the secret history. Due to the lack of information, no one can figure out its origin.
"And I've said before that we are an official extraordinary organization that guards against esoteric cults, not an esoteric cult, so we won't spend a lot of energy researching secret idols, which would bring unknown risks and even pollution. So before we found out that the Eight Points were performing blasphemous rituals on the Moon Saint statues in various places, we did very little research on the Moon Saint statue, and no one knew the origin of this statue?"
"You didn't do much research before you discovered the blasphemous ritual... Does that mean you've stepped up your research efforts after you discovered it?" Ed asked Misha after noticing the details in her words, and she nodded in response.
"Yes, as early as August this year, we received the documents from Ulster from you, and then we sent a team to Ulster to investigate the problems in the Razor Mountains.
"Deep in the mountains, we found ruins that were once used as a base but later abandoned. This was also our first contact with the desecrated Moon Saint Statue. At that time, we already realized that our purpose was deeply related to this kind of statue. Due to practical needs, we began to conduct an in-depth investigation of this familiar statue at this time."
Misha spoke in detail to Ed, who spoke as he listened to her words.
"So... have you concluded your research?"
"We don't know yet, because the person in charge of researching this is not someone in our bureau, but a third party we commissioned."
Misha replied like this, and Ed was surprised to hear Misha's words.
"A third party? Can you still outsource your research work?"
"Yes, after all, the Security Bureau is good at investigation and execution, not academic research, so we commissioned a trustworthy professional to study the Moon Saint Statue and the blasphemous ritual. So far, we have not obtained the research results from him, but it is said that there has been considerable progress. If you want to know more about the Moon Saint Statue, I'm afraid you need to contact him directly." Misha said this to Ed. After listening to Misha's words, Ed immediately asked.
"Who is that third party you mentioned?"
Hearing Dorothy's question, Misha paused slightly, then hesitated for a moment before speaking.
"Strictly speaking, I shouldn't use the somewhat exclusive term 'third party'. The client is essentially a member of the same camp as us. He is the Duke of Bartlet, one of the most prestigious members of the Tivian royal family."
Misha said this to Ed. Listening to Misha's words, Rosie, who was sitting in the carriage in the distance, was startled. Then, a related impression of this name emerged in her mind. This was a name she had seen before.
Duke Barrett Spenderse, a member of the royal family who lived in Tivian, was a collector who often placed purchase advertisements in the Advertiser. He was also an important historian who focused on studying the history of the Pritt country. Dorothy had seen the third edition of the History of the Kingdom of Pritt, which was revised by him, when she was at the library. He held a very important position in the historical community of Pritt.
"Is Duke Barrett involved in a secret relationship?"
After listening to Misha's words, Ed unexpectedly blurted out, and the other party nodded in response.
"More than just secrets, like many members of the royal family, the Duke is a senior extraordinary person. As a well-known historian, he has extensive research on the history of Pritt, both openly and secretly. Whenever our bureau encounters many historical issues, we will consult him. He can be said to be one of the important consultants of our bureau. So regarding the statue of the Moon Virgin and the blasphemous ritual, we entrusted him to help with the research and try to figure out the purpose of the Eight Points.
"If you really want to know about the Moon Saint Statue, then asking him is your only option. The Duke occasionally attends some gatherings, so you may have a chance to meet him."
Misha said to Ed, and after she finished speaking he changed the subject and continued.
"Well, I think the information I've revealed to you is enough. This information is enough to trade for the information about the traitor."
After saying this, Misha looked at Ed in front of her silently with a serious expression. Ed touched his chin and thought for a while, then nodded slightly.
