Dorothy scratched her head, stood up from the ground and couldn't help but whisper with a frown. Although she had expected and prepared for this situation before, she still felt very depressed when she really encountered it.
As for the Mirror Moon Church, Dorothy actually wanted to hide it again after her promotion. However, after Dorothy's replacement ceremony was completed, it seemed that some key properties of the church had changed, and it became very difficult for her to use the Concealment Ring to hide the church. Dorothy had no choice but to leave it here and wait for the people from the church to come and see it. Therefore, it was inevitable that the church became what it is now.
'Now that Gramorn's Mirror Moon Temple is no longer usable... if I want to summon the will of the Mirror Moon Goddess... I must find a new Mirror Moon Church.
'This church needs to be of the same temple level as the one in Gramoen, and it also needs to be located in the territory of Plit, so that I can summon the anecdotal body of the Fairy of the Lake and cooperate with the full moon entrance ceremony... But the question now is, besides Gramoen, are there other places in Plit that have temple-level Mirror Moon Churches? Although Plit is not small, it is not particularly large either. During the imperial period, it was only a province of the empire. Can there be two temples in this province?'
Touching her chin, Dorothy thought seriously in her heart. After thinking about it, she found that she was also in trouble under the "Shadow" ritual.
"Now that Gramorn's temple is useless, I can either look for another Mirror Moon Temple in Pritt, or go to other places that also have the history and legacy of Mirror Moon, or I can only find a way to pass through the Lost Sea in the east and go to the legendary Night Country... None of these are so easy to do..."
Dorothy continued to think, and when she couldn't think of any good ideas for the time being, she sighed and left the scene silently.
After leaving the Mirror Moon Church in the center of Star Moon Lake, Dorothy did not end her activities that night. After the experiment of summoning the Mirror Moon failed, she shifted her attention to another aspect, the members of the Radiant Church who came to Gramorn to investigate and transform the Mirror Moon Church.
The people of the Glowing Church have been stationed in Gramorn for a long time, and have been studying the Mirror Moon Church here for a long time. They must have made some research achievements. Dorothy wants to see if she can seize these achievements to increase her understanding of Mirror Moon, and maybe find clues about the new temple.
Under the full moon, Dorothy took advantage of the night and began searching in Gramorn. With her powerful intelligence capabilities, she quickly found the location of the investigators sent by the Church of the Radiant Light to target the Mirror Moon Church. It was in a residential area next to the Gramorn Church.
In a high-end townhouse, Dorothy found the dispatched personnel placed here by the local church, and found a priest scholar who seemed to be the leader. Now that most people have turned off the lights and gone to bed, this 40-year-old male priest is still writing a report in his study. He wears thick glasses on his eyes, and there are many books and manuscripts piled in front of his desk.
Dorothy let her miniature corpse sneak into the residence of the priest scholar, and secretly searched everywhere for written information about the priest scholar. After a while, she gained a lot.
From the identity information, Dorothy learned that the priest in front of her was named Caber, and he was a priest directly affiliated with the Holy Mountain Tribunal. He was a Cretaceous Extraordinary who was sent here after the Gramorn incident to conduct research on the Mirror Moon Church. His research has been going on for quite a long time since last year.
After confirming the target, Dorothy continued to search in Caber's apartment, mainly searching for various books he wrote. As Caber himself was a scholar, he wrote a lot of books, not only a large number of research reports and manuscripts, but also many letters and telegrams exchanged with other church scholars.
After Dorothy used the miniature corpse doll to find these manuscript telegrams and letters, she quickly read through them. After reading enough of the information written by Caber, Dorothy, who was hiding in the shadows of Gramorne Street, took out her magic box, put it on the ground, opened it, and let the corpse doll Edric slowly crawl out of it.
Afterwards, Dorothy asked Ed to dust off his clothes, tidy up his appearance, and then walked out quickly. Less than ten minutes later, Ed arrived in front of Caber's apartment building.
After standing in front of the townhouse for a while, Ed reached out and pulled the doorbell, then began to wait quietly. Ed's wait did not last long, as footsteps were heard behind the door in front of him, and then the door was opened.
The person who appeared behind the door was Caber, who was wearing home clothes, glasses, wrinkles all over his face and looked a little sleepy. After taking a look at the man in front of him with pale skin, deep eye sockets and a hooked nose, he couldn't help but frown slightly.
"You? What are you doing here so late?"
"Oh, sorry, Pastor Caber, I have something I want to ask you." Looking at Caber in front of him, Ed smiled and politely took off his hat and said, and after seeing him, Caber nodded and spoke.
"Okay, come in, we'll talk slowly about what's going on."
"Excuse me." After a brief response, Ed entered Caber's home, and Caber looked out the door for a few seconds before closing the door. After Ed entered the room, he sat on the sofa in the living room and waited. Soon after, Caber brought a cup of tea and placed it in front of Ed, and then he sat on the sofa beside him.
"Thanks."
After saying thank you, Ed picked up the teacup and sipped the tea carefully, while Caber, who was looking at him, spoke without saying a word.
"Tell me, what's the matter that makes you come to see me so late at night?"
"It's nothing, Pastor Caber. I just want to ask about your recent work status. When did you come here to work? Where are you from? What is your main job content?" After tasting the tea in his hand, Ed looked at the priest in front of him and asked without hesitation, and the other party answered immediately.
"He originally belonged to the Holy Church of the Holy Mountain. He was sent here in September last year to conduct research because he was the one who discovered important pagan relics in the Gramoen incident. In terms of work content, the early stage was to investigate and identify the nature of pagan relics, collect and study pagan archives, and explore dangerous or valuable information. In the later stage, he assisted the later members of the Fundamental Court in the transformation of pagan relics. This work is still in progress."
Caber slowly listened to Ed's response, and Dorothy let Ed continue asking questions after listening to what he said.
"So, what have you achieved in your early work?"
"Well... actually quite a lot. This church was the church of the Queen of the Night Sky during the Third Age. It has very high specifications and is at the level of a temple. I have copied many books in it. Although I don't know much Imperial language and the content I can translate is limited, from the content that can be translated, these materials will be of great help to Si Jingting in his future research on the faith of the Queen of the Night Sky..." Caber continued, and Ed couldn't help but say with his eyes brightened after hearing his words.
"Oh, Mr. Priest, you can speak Imperial?"
"I know a little, but very little. Due to the limitation of poison identification, it is extremely difficult for us scripture officials in the Sutra Court to learn ancient languages. Each person can only master a small part of an ancient language. To decipher an ancient document requires a large group of people for a long time. Since I happen to know part of the Imperial language, I can decipher part of the content..." Lying on the sofa, Caber continued to talk to Ed, and Ed immediately responded.
"Then could you please teach me the Imperial language you know?"
"Of course there is no problem with that. As long as you are willing to learn, I will definitely teach you. Of course, you have to remember to be careful about poison detection. It took me twenty years to master this part of the Imperial language without being affected by poison detection. Be careful when I help you learn..." After listening to Ed's words, Caber reminded him, and Ed also spoke with a smile.
"Thank you very much. Then let's continue to talk about your success this time, Mr. Priest. Finally, let's talk about the matter of teaching the word 㫧."
Then, Ed began to listen carefully to Caber's research results over the past period of time. In Dorothy's opinion, most of his achievements were actually meaningless. They were just deciphering some hymns, rituals and customs, activities and cultures of the Queen of the Night Sky. At most, they allowed Dorothy to understand more about the Queen of the Night Sky's beliefs.
Among the contents of Caber's research, there was only one sentence that made Dorothy concerned.
"The Moon Envoy keeps the precepts and the night court is in awe. The Moon Envoy represents the Holy Will... What does this mean? Who is this Night Envoy?" Dorothy, who listened carefully to what Caber said before, asked curiously through Ed's mouth, and Caber answered in silence.
"The Moon's Imperial Envoy is the messenger of the Queen of the Night Sky. According to our research, the faith of the Queen of the Night Sky during the Third Age had a structure similar to that of a country. The Queen in the title of the Queen of the Night Sky has a practical meaning. She seems to have really ruled the country and its subjects as an empress, and her messenger is also a kind of 'imperial envoy'.
"It is said that Queen Yekong has a large number of envoys, divided into different levels from high to low and managed by a unified organization. The high-ranking envoys will hold a ring as a certificate, and the rings held by the highest-ranking envoys will be given special features by Queen Yekong herself, and the envoys who are given special features can be promoted immediately...
"These contents are what I obtained in my previous research, and I don't know much... I can only know that the Night Sky Envoys seem to correspond to the side of the Night Sky Queen's belief system that is close to the ruling bureaucracy, and form a correspondence with the side of the priests who focus on faith and sacrifice. Among them, the high-level Moon Sky Envoys have a closer connection with the Moon Sky Queen than the priest level.
"After all, the Queen of the Night Sky is different from other gods. She is both a god and an emperor. The system under her rule has the characteristics of both sides..."
Qian,!"xun:,,?Free""!;Novel"skirt""2"5??5?,,5;!;9;:5!3":;0:!!0 Caber said this to Ed. In the Si Jing Court, his most focused research area was on the faith of the Queen of the Night Sky, so he was sent here.
"The priest side and the bureaucratic side? The belief system of this Mirror Moon Goddess is more complicated than that of other gods. In other words, my hidden ring is actually the certificate of a high-level Moon Envoy. Is my mother, whom I met with Su Yu, also a Moon Envoy? But it doesn't seem that simple... Is there an envoy who looks exactly like the Queen? "
Dorothy thought so in her heart, and after thinking about it for a while, she asked Ed and Caber to continue asking questions.
"I have another question, Mr. Priest, do you know where else the faith of the Queen of the Night Sky remains besides Pritt?"
"The remnants of the faith in the Queen of the Night Sky... Apart from Plit, there are only some in Castile and Osotelis. However, the remnants of the faith in the Night Sky in these two places are very few, not as good as in Plit." Caber responded to Ed, and then Ed continued to speak.
"So, do you know if there are any night sky ruins of the same level as those on Xingyue Lake in Pritt?"
"A ruin of the same level as the lake ruins? Haha... To be honest, this is the first time I've seen a ruin of the same level as the church on the lake. If you ask me where there are ruins of this level, I really don't know."
Smiling and shaking his head, Caber continued speaking. Dorothy couldn't help but frown after hearing Caber's response. After a slight pause, she continued to let Ed ask questions.
"Okay, thank you for your cooperation, Priest Caber. I have almost finished asking all the questions I want to know. Finally, I want to ask you one more question. During the time you have been working here, have you felt anything unusual... well, anything unusual that deserves your attention?"
Dorothy asked Ed to ask Caber about this. The reason she asked this was to confirm whether the people from the Eight Peaks had come back to plot something. So she wanted to confirm with Caber if there were any abnormalities so as to find any clues. The Eight Peaks Temple here was fought for by him with great effort, and he might not give it up easily.
Listening to Dorothy's words, Caber pondered for a while, then slowly began to speak.
"There doesn't seem to be any unusual place worth noting... If you must find one, it's that some people from the Secret Court suddenly came here not long ago to investigate the local secret circle here, and they also took me over for consultation."
"Secret Court? What are they investigating here?"
Listening to Caber's words, Dorothy curiously asked Ed to ask her again. If she remembered correctly, the Secret Court should be the church's external intelligence agency. Could it be that they appeared here to investigate the Eight Peaks?
"The people from the Secret Court came to Gramoen, apparently to find the trace of a secret book..."
Touching his chin, Caber recalled and said, while Dorothy murmured with a frown.
"Secret message?"
…
In the night sky, under the full moon.
Above the rough sea, in the distant high clouds, a huge metal monster was flying at high speed in the shadow of the night, fast but silent.
On the deck that was not illuminated by the moonlight, a petite figure wearing a windbreaker robe stood there, ignoring the cold and the howling wind, and stared into the dark night sky ahead.
"Sir At'oli, we are approaching the southwest of Plit and will soon reach Igwinter...Should we really not go to Tivian first?"
A mechanical voice suddenly sounded from behind the petite figure, and the figure nodded and answered with a cold female voice.
"No, keep moving forward."
