Chapter 190 Tips
In the dark night in Mont, on a high tower of a clock tower, a corpse man named Ney was standing in the cool evening breeze, facing the young general in front of him, the supreme ruler of Adus. According to the information they had contacted in the "Maritime Navigation Notes" before, they came here for a secret meeting at night to exchange information.
"In my past years of treasure-stealing experience, I have indeed come across some information about Heopiris, and I can give it to you, but before that, I also want to clarify something. How much do you know about Heopiris? What is your purpose in going there?"
Looking at Nei in front of him, Shadi spoke with a serious expression, and after hearing his words, Nei also answered quickly.
"What I can tell you is true. I can only tell you that Heopiris is an important relic of the First Dynasty. It was once known as the Land of Divine Revelation and an important area of faith for the great Saint Master Heavenly Judge. We have been guided to return there. Returning to Heopiris again is a test for us, so we need more intelligence to analyze."
Ney said this to Shadi, and after hearing what he said, Shadi couldn't help but ponder for a while, and then continued to speak seriously.
"The land of God's revelation? It seems that you want to pursue that ancient power further..." Shadi said this, then he stared at Ney and changed the subject and spoke again.
"Regarding the rumors about Heopiris, I once worked for a treasure-stealing society. I heard from an elder there that Heopiris was a mysterious and magnificent ancient city. It did not belong to any of the Pharaoh kingdoms of the First Dynasty. It was directly governed by the priest body of the Heavenly Judge and directly ruled by the highest priest, the 'Heavenly Order Saint'. For thousands of years, many large and small treasure-stealing societies and other extraordinary organizations have wanted to find it and uncover its secrets, but all ended in failure, without even a trace of it..."
With his hands behind his back, Shadi seemed to be recalling what he was saying. He then turned his head to look at the bright moonlight outside the window and spoke again.
"The legend of Heopiris has always been widely circulated among countless treasure-stealing societies, and many people have been looking for it, but no one can even roughly determine its location, let alone find it. Therefore, many people now tend to believe that Heopiris is just a legend and does not exist in reality at all. This is what our elder Shen told me.
"Heopels does not exist in this world, it only exists in history."
Shadi said this while recalling, and after he finished speaking, he turned his head and looked at Ney again. At this moment, Ney frowned slightly and spoke.
"Heopiris only exists in history? What does this elder mean by this? Is it a hint? Or a sigh?"
"I don't know about that. As for Heopiris, he only told me these things. I have told you all of it. As for how you understand it and what you can understand from it, that is up to you." Shadi waved his hand gently and said to Ney. Listening to Shadi's words, Ney nodded silently, and then spoke again.
"Okay... We will go and see it ourselves. Thank you for the information you shared, General. I hope it will be useful."
Ney expressed her gratitude, and after listening to her words, Shadi spoke again and added.
“Although, I don’t know where you got the news that Heopiris is located in Buserit, but if you really want to go there to look for traces of the First Dynasty, I suggest going to Bastis. That’s where the capitals of several short-lived dynasties in Buserit history were established. It should be the most relatively stable place in the entire chaotic Buserit, and it should be the place where you can collect the most intelligence.
“But if you followed that church delegation into Buserit, I don’t know if you would end up there, too. After all, that is the most populous settlement in Buserit and the place that best meets the nun’s need to ‘save the world.’
"But speaking of this, I'm also very curious and want to ask, what is the current relationship between that Sister Vanya and you? She has a very close relationship with you. Whether it was last time in Addis or this time here, your actions were consistent. The connection between you can't be as simple as you said last time.
"Sister Vanya holds a high position in the church, and has the full support of the Redemptionists. You must have spent a lot of effort to influence her. Could it be that... you are currently planning something against the church?"
With a rather serious look, Shadi questioned the man in front of him and said that as the current ruler of Adus, he must always pay attention to the diplomatic relations between himself and the church. Now this mysterious Heavenly Judge Cult has created the Thunder Judge Incident to support him to officially control Adus, and now it has turned around and has signs of plotting against the church again. This time Shadi couldn't help but think of the time when the Savior heretics tried to kidnap Adus to fight against the church. He was worried that the Heavenly Judge Cult would force him to express his position in the end, just like the Savior Cult in Adus.
"General, you are worrying too much..." Looking at Shadi's serious expression in front of him, Ney couldn't help but smile softly, and then continued to respond.
"We currently have no intentions towards the church. The church is not our target. Did you just think that Sister Vanya is the one we want to 'corrupt'?" Ney said this. Listening to Ney's words, Shadi paused slightly, and then immediately spoke again.
"What else? If Sister Vanya had not been 'corrupted' by you, then why would she take the huge risk of violating church rules and keep it a secret from the higher-ups to get so close to you?"
"Hey, General, have you ever thought about this possibility? Sister Vanya is so close to us, we don't have to hide it from her..." With a meaningful smile, Ney said to Shadi. Listening to his words, Ney couldn't help but stand there in a daze, and then as if he realized something, he asked in disbelief.
"You mean... the church has a cooperative relationship with you? The Radiant Church is in contact and cooperating with pagans?"
"Not all of them, at least... and one of them, General. May I remind you that times have changed. The current church is very different from before. Instead of spreading the truth of the Three Saints, those cardinals now prefer to seize more power in their hands... As long as they can gain more power, some of the taboos in the past are now just a price." With a mysterious smile, Ney said to Shadi, and as he spoke, he walked towards the stairs, as if he was preparing to leave.
"Wait, can you tell me more about the current situation in the church?" Looking at Ney who was about to leave, Track spoke again with a serious expression, but Ney seemed to have no intention of stopping.
"That's all I have to say. I'm not authorized to say much. I may be able to reveal more information to you next time... See you now."
Waving his hand, Ney walked down the stairs of the bell tower. He gradually faded away with the creaking of wooden boards and finally disappeared into the darkness, leaving Shadi standing alone at the scene.
"Hey... from what the puppet said, there's a very serious power struggle within the church. This can barely explain why the little nun dared to contact the puppet sect without fear of being discovered by her superiors... if there are problems with her superiors, then it makes sense..."
At this moment, in Shadi's heart, the ancient spirit named Setut spoke in a gloomy tone, and after Shadi heard Setut's words, he couldn't help but paused slightly, and then continued to speak in the same deep voice in his heart.
