After saying goodbye to Greg, Dorothy walked on the streets of Tivian holding her small umbrella, waiting slowly. After a while, a carriage driven by a zombie coachman appeared in front of Dorothy. After controlling the zombie to open the door of the carriage, Dorothy got into the carriage.
After closing the door, Dorothy asked the corpse-driver to return to his seat and drive the carriage forward. Dorothy sat on the seat in the carriage, looking at the rain streaks flowing on the window and the hazy street scene, and she couldn't help but fall into thought.
"Finally... I finally got to meet Greg after such a long time. At first, I was worried about how I would explain to my brother after I returned to Tivian after becoming a redhead. I didn't expect that things would turn out like this. Vanya is actually qualified to be the acting archbishop of Pritt..."
Dorothy was thinking about this in her heart. Earlier, Dorothy had been thinking about how to meet Greg after she became an adult. She originally planned to transfer to another "school" and go to other cities around Tivian. However, when Dorothy really became an adult, she found an unexpected change.
In the previous battle with Gosmore, the original Archbishop Francesco of Pritt was injured and rushed to Mount Sainte-Catholic. Dorothy originally thought that at this critical moment, Mount Sainte-Catholic would send a successor soon, but the successor did not arrive, and Vanya was mistakenly appointed as the acting archbishop, temporarily taking charge of Tivian's position.
'The church clearly has so many Red-Cheng-level people, they should be able to easily pick someone to succeed Tivian... But they didn't send anyone, and instead appointed Vanya, a nobody, to temporarily act as Archbishop Plitt. What a strange operation...
'The only reason that can explain this weird operation is the political struggle within the church. The current situation should be that there are differences and contradictions among the top leaders of Saint Linshan on the issue of Pritt. Vanya's coming to power should be the temporary compromise result of this contradiction. It feels that the division within the church is getting more and more serious. I hope that nothing big will happen in the end.
'But no matter what, it's great for me that Vanya becomes the acting archbishop of Pritt. Not only does it allow me to return to Tivian, but it also gives me a certain understanding of the so-called rank discrimination.'
Dorothy thought to herself that not long ago, Vanya had officially accepted the appointment of Saint Mount in the Cathedral of the Holy Chant and became the acting Archbishop of Pritt. After that, she took over the large-scale ceremony held in the Cathedral of the Holy Chant as the ceremony venue, and her status was very important.
Yes, level vision is a ritual, a powerful detection ritual. The nature of "light" is insight and faith, and level vision is a ritual of insight based on faith.
The power of the Three Saints of Radiance comes from the faith of billions of believers in the world, and the power of this vast faith is gathered and transmitted through the countless churches in the world where the Radiance is spread. In other words, the faith of all the Radiance believers in Tivian will be gathered in the Cathedral of the Holy Chant from nowhere, and then sent to the outside world from here.
With the permission of the Three Saints, not all faiths eventually flowed to the Three Saints of the inner world. A tiny part flowed to the church itself and became the foundation of the extraordinary system of these city churches. Relying on the continuous and powerful faith, the glorious city churches possessed many powerful abilities, and rank respect was one of them.
After a Lamp-level Extraordinary who is at least at the Red Perfection level is connected to the Extraordinary system of the city cathedral, the rank vision begins to work. As long as there are other Extraordinary people at the Red Perfection level in the entire city and the surrounding area, they can be discovered almost immediately.
Facing the sight of the levels, it is extremely difficult for the extraordinary people to block it with the power of "shadow". Even if it is a Red Cheng-level strongman who focuses on "shadow", as long as he dares to confront the sight of the levels head-on, his own "shadow" spirituality will be quickly consumed, because what he is facing is almost the faith foundation of an entire city.
Although the detection ability of the tiered vision is extremely powerful, it has a shortcoming at the ritual structure level, that is, there is an upper limit to the targets it can detect at any time. Theoretically, in a city with a city church, any extraordinary person cannot escape the powerful detection of the tiered vision, but if there are too many extraordinary people in the city, then the tiered vision will not be able to find all of them at once. There is an upper limit to its target locking. After locking the limit number of extraordinary units, the remaining ones cannot be locked, and the only way to lock the latter ones is to cancel the previous ones.
The upper limit of the lock of the rank vision is relatively small. In a metropolis like Tivian, the number of official Cretaceous-level Beyonders alone can easily break this limit. So, helplessly, the rank vision in the churches in cities across the world was customized to be effective only for Beyonders at or above the Red Stage.
Compared with the apprentices Black Earth and Chalk, the number of those above Red Adult is very difficult to increase. And to the church officials, the threat of one Red Adult is far greater than that of more than ten Chalk. The defense against one Red Adult is much higher than that against dozens of Black Earth and Chalk. Therefore, surveillance at this level has become a detection method specifically aimed at high-level extraordinary people, but it has no limit to mid- and low-level extraordinary people.
The essence of the rank-vision is a ritual, which requires a "lamp" of the red-completed level as the ritual maintainer to function. If there is no red-completed "lamp", a "lamp" of the divine blessing level can also be used as a ritual device instead. This is why Vanya can hold the original power of Tivian's rank-vision. As the patrol officer of the "Holy Relics Scroll", she is the only one in the current Pritt who is qualified to preside over this ceremony.
'Is it the vision of a lamp that sees through everything, based on the faith of thousands of people? The hegemony of rank is, in a sense, the embodiment of the hegemony of the faith of the Glowing Cult. Other associations do not have such abundant resources to do such things. Only the Glowing Cult can do such a thing.
"But now that I have reached the level of a red-mature person, this powerful ability cannot completely restrain me. This is not just because of Vanya..."
As Dorothy spoke, she looked at her hand, at the family heirloom ring that she had worn for many years, a silver ring decorated with a bright moon.
The Concealment Ring was one of the extraordinary tools that Dorothy had used the longest. It helped Dorothy to hide herself from various extraordinary detections time and time again. However, it was this familiar ring that emitted a strange silver light after the battle at Star Lake. It took Dorothy a long time after the battle to notice the change in her ring.
Moon-shaded Ring, this was the new name of the ring after Dorothy's identification technique. Its effect was not much different from the original Barrier Ring, except for some other changes.
The Moon Shadow Ring consumes "Shadow" to allow Dorothy to hide her extraordinary power from various extraordinary detections. This is the same as the function of the Concealment Ring, but the consumption rate of "Shadow" is only half of that of the Concealment Ring. In other words, when Dorothy wears this ring, she can use less "Shadow" to survive the extraordinary detection against her. In addition, it has an additional small function, the Level Shadow.
In simple terms, when Dorothy wore the Moonshade Ring, she had the ability to conceal her own rank. In simple terms, as long as Dorothy did not use her ability to become a rank, she would not be considered a rank in the eyes of any extraordinary detection. When facing rank vision, Dorothy only needed to not use her ability beyond the chalk range, and rank vision would not be able to detect her existence. This was something Dorothy had previously asked Vanya to cooperate with in an experiment.
In other words, with this ring, Dorothy can move around safely even in a city where a different archbishop is in charge, as long as she does not use her abilities beyond the boundaries.
"The changes to the Barrier Ring... are obviously Jingyue's work. Is this a gift she left for me? It seems like she knows exactly what I'm worried about after my promotion..."
Looking at the ring in her hand, Dorothy thought to herself, then she slowly put her hand down and continued to move forward in the carriage with peace of mind.
'The most urgent task now is to replenish my missing spirituality as soon as possible, but the current situation of Divian can't help but make me worry. Anyway, Divian is now missing a Red Archbishop, and the extraordinary defense has dropped significantly, which is likely to cause some trouble. I hope that I can transition smoothly in the near future and wait for the new Archbishop to take office...'
