"So I'm not using a puppet to observe you now. I'm using the high-level secrets contained in this lake that even they haven't seen to observe you. Although this observation ability is not limited to this lake and the surrounding area, it is enough to deal with the current situation."
Dorothy's words rang again in Vanya's mind. After listening to Dorothy's words, Vanya paused slightly, and then responded in her mind.
"The high-level secrets contained in this lake... may be related to the church in the lake, Miss Dorothea. Does that church... have anything to do with A-Ka? Why does the statue in the church look so similar to you? Could the god carved on the statue be..."
Vanya seemed to want to say something, but at this moment, Dorothy spoke again.
"The mystery of this matter... is related to some great secrets between gods. When gods want to share the knowledge with us, we should not force ourselves to understand it...
“I also have my own confusions about the secrets contained in that church, but as long as we follow Aka’s guidance and unravel the mystery step by step, one day, all the questions will be answered. Before the destined time comes, don’t rush for success. This is the same for both you and me…”
Dorothy spoke to Vanya in a patient and profound tone. Vanya was slightly startled after hearing Dorothy's words. Then she frowned and thought for a while, then spoke as if she had some enlightenment.
“Don’t ask God for the profound secrets directly… All we need to do is to rely on our own wisdom and strength to solve the puzzle step by step under God’s guidance. When the destined time comes, everything will be revealed by itself…
"This is what Aka, the god of knowledge, teaches us. Am I right, Miss Dorothea?"
Vanya asked Dorothy in a confused tone, and the other party paused for a moment before responding.
"Well...ah...this, this is roughly what it means. Vanya, you got it right. Anyway, let's do the things at hand first. As long as we follow the guidance, the confusion in our hearts will be resolved one day."
"Really? That's great. It seems I understood it well." Listening to Dorothy's words, Vanya felt a hint of joy in her heart.
“Although I don’t know what A-Ka’s purpose is, I believe in the deep meaning behind His guidance. The Eight-pointed Nest is an evil organization that poses a great threat to the world, and the plot brewing here cannot be ignored. If the Holy Mother sees this situation, she will definitely let me do my best to stop them... I will continue to do my best to assist you, Miss Dorothea.”
Vanya finally said this to Dorothy, and after a moment, Dorothy's response came quickly.
"Thank you for your continued trust, Vanya."
…
Behind the mirror, in the hidden space inside the Star Lake, Dorothy was suspended in the colorless space, suspended above the Mirror Lake where the Mirror Moon Church no longer existed, overlooking the scenery behind the lake below. Just like when she was in Addis, Dorothy used these hidden semi-realm spaces to spy on the situation in this world.
Although the Mirror Moon Church has been raised into the real world, this space still exists. After Dorothy's ring is activated, she can travel back and forth between the real world and here at will around Star Lake. Using this space, Dorothy can safely glimpse the movements of many of the Eight Peaks.
"Huh... I managed to get away with it..."
After finishing the communication with Vanya, the floating Dorothy breathed a sigh of relief. When Vanya asked about the Mirror Moon Church and the origin of the statue, Dorothy was a little puzzled, because she herself was not very clear about the specific situation of the church, and why the face of the statue looked so much like her. She could only say some ambiguous words in the name of Aka that the secret could not be revealed. Fortunately, Vanya was a clergyman and had a good "perception" ability, so she figured out the answer herself.
After comforting Vanya, Dorothy raised her head slightly and looked into the distance at the Mirror Moon Church which had been moved to the other side of the mirror. Looking at the followers of the Radiant Light stationed on the church, she couldn't help but think in her heart.
"That's right... Although the group of people in the Eight Peaks are not arrogant to the Security Bureau, they are far less arrogant to the church. As I expected, they dare not do anything to the church... The point is that they made things worse under the attention of the Holy Mountain Church, otherwise their national strategy will be affected and it will be difficult to resolve."
Make this church public, let it appear in front of the pilgrims who are paying close attention to Saint Mountain, use the intimidation mentioned by Saint Mountain to shock the Eight Tips, so that even if they see their target, they will not dare to act recklessly. This is Dorothy's strategy. As long as Vanya is in Glanmore, the Eight Tips will not dare to play hardball.
This is the huge influence that Vanya has accumulated through a series of events concerning the majesty of the church this year. Although her own strength is still chalky, her influence within and outside the entire Glowing Church has surpassed that of ordinary Red Clan members. Her fame and popularity are higher than those of most archbishops. This is a powerful invisible force within the Glowing Church system based on faith. This force is enough to intimidate the two Red Clan members of the Eight Peaks and prevent them from acting rashly.
Now that Vanya is here, Dorothy has the capital to delay further, and she doesn't have to worry about Bajian deciphering the secret of Star Lake and finding the church when the full moon comes. The replacement ceremony is not simple, and now neither Dorothy nor Bajian can occupy the church alone to hold the ceremony.
But procrastination is only procrastination and cannot really solve the problem. Now she and Bajian are in a stalemate and no one can do anything to the other for the time being. But this stalemate will not continue forever. Both Bajian and Dorothy will actively look for ways to break the deadlock.
As far as the current situation is concerned, the breakthrough point is not on Star Lake, or even in Gramorn, but somewhere far away.
"Come to think of it... Neveu should have almost returned to Tivian..."
Dorothy stroked her chin and muttered as she thought about the situation in the distance.
…
Time passed quickly, and one day later, on the east side of the main island of Plit, Tivian.
In the early morning, fog mixed with strange smells diffused on the street in front of the Citivian train station. Hurry horse-drawn carriages hurriedly passed back and forth on the wide street, dropping off and taking away countless passengers carrying large and small bags on the sidewalks. Countless people poured out of the gate of the station building, and the buzzing sound of whistles sounded dimly in the distance, creating a lively and crowded scene all around.
On the upper floor of a teahouse on the roadside near the station entrance, a dark-skinned woman wearing a long women's coat and a wide-brimmed hat was sitting by the window. She was drinking tea and gazing at the flowing crowd below through her sunglasses, as if she was waiting for something.
After the woman added water to the teacup on the table for the third time, her eyes seemed to be fixed on something. She slowly took off her sunglasses and then looked at the crowd below. There were several figures wearing priest robes and carrying large suitcases, walking towards the station gate.
“Here I come…”
Looking at those figures, Nephnis drank the tea in her hand and then stood up from her seat.
