Chen Zhong followed Leon obediently, and his well-behaved appearance made it clear that he was a loyal follower.
"Welcome, Your Excellency the Marshal. May I ask why you are here?" the old lady at the first level of Grandmaster Realm asked respectfully.
"I'm here to retrieve something from the secret place by the leader's order." Before the old lady could ask, Leon took out a letter written by Adam. "This is the leader's certificate."
The old lady smiled politely, but still followed the rules. She took the letter, took out a small instrument and scanned Adam's signature and fingerprint on it. After confirming that it was authentic, she bowed and said, "Master Leon, please come in."
When she saw Chen Zhong, she asked, "Who is this?"
Leon waved his hand, "My closest assistant, let him in."
The old lady wanted to say something, but under Leon's strong attitude, she could only force a smile at Chen Zhong, "Fellow believer, please."
They went deeper and deeper, and were surrounded by ice crystal trees that were hundreds of meters high. Occasionally, they could see snow foxes jumping around in them, and snow-white eagles soaring in the sky. This place was like a white glass dreamland, where a group of ice and snow elves lived.
Unfortunately, there are a bunch of beasts who have committed countless sins in the past but claim to be holy and are incompatible with them.
Especially when he saw their pious expressions and flawless robes, Chen Zhong found it even more ridiculous. He could clearly see that the footprints they left behind were extremely bloody.
Being a bad person is not scary. What is scary is pretending to care about the world and doing things that are more disgusting than being a bad person in the name of doing good things.
Wouldn’t it be better for everyone to just practice spiritual martial arts honestly?
Isn’t it fun to fight bloody battles while keeping to one’s own place?
Why do you have to come up with all these things? How wonderful it would be if the world could be one where you kill me and I kill you.
I hope everyone has fewer routines and more tricks, so I can save the effort of digging holes.
After more than ten minutes, we finally walked out of the long forest path and arrived at the place where the retired priests rested.
Earlier on the road, Leon said that he didn't know what was hidden in the secret place, and estimated that among the twenty-seven priests, only the old woman at the Grandmaster level knew the truth.
Adam did not elaborate, but just said that there was no danger inside, just some long-forgotten past events.
The more he acted like this, the more curious Chen Zhong became. What a guy! He already recognizes me as his master, but he's still keeping me in suspense?
"Lord Leon, please wait a moment. It will be noon soon and we will have noon prayers." said the old nanny.
Leon nodded, "It's okay, we'll go together."
They lived in buildings similar to those of the Eskimos, but more luxurious, with a single-story church built entirely of ice in the middle.
Twenty-seven people opened the holy book, looked at the statue in front of them, and slowly recited.
Chen Zhong smacked his lips and started to get busy.
At the end of the round, eighteen people successfully signed the contract, and under Chen Zhong's instructions, no abnormality appeared.
As for the rest, Chen Zhong was not in a hurry. After all, he still had one dinner and one sleep. At worst, he could stay overnight and do it again tomorrow morning, and he would also have one breakfast.
The brainwashing of Pantheism is so powerful that no matter how smart a person is, he cannot withstand such treatment every day and will be defeated sooner or later.
If it really doesn't work, just kill one or two of those who are unlucky.
"Okay, Lord Leon, please follow me." The old nanny walked out alone and continued to walk deeper into the forest with Chen Zhong and the other two.
The surroundings were silent, with only the rustling sound of the three of them stepping on the ice and snow.
"This is a secret place. I cannot enter. Please do as you please, Lord Leon."
"Okay, thank you for showing me the way." Leon replied politely.
So, under the watchful eyes of the old nanny, Chen Zhong and the other man walked down the stairs that led directly underground.
As soon as he entered, Leon wanted to say something to Chen Zhong.
But Chen Zhong's eyes signaled him not to say too much, as the situation here was still unclear. If he spoke out of turn and was monitored, it would be bad.
After all, the position of the old woman above is still unknown. What if she betrays the Pantheon?
Although it is unlikely, being skeptical is the most basic thing to do!
Moreover, Chen Zhong had taught Adam his cautious approach all night long, hoping that he could set an example and implement it within the church so that everyone could learn to be prudent.
After all, in the many battles with the Pantheon in the past, Chen Zhong had felt the other party's immaturity in handling things. Even if they were loyal as if they were blindly loyal, this could not change the fact that they were cautious or not.
Now that he has become the mastermind behind the Pantheon, he can no longer let them do whatever they want. First of all, he must put aside all things that are likely to cause trouble, and then improve everything else slowly.
“We’re here.” Leon stopped and looked around the secret room at the end in surprise.
"That's it?" Chen Zhong was also a little dazed.
Because the secret place hidden so deeply was only a wooden box the size of a palm.
It was just that kind of ordinary wood, which was simply not capable of preserving precious objects.
Leon stepped forward first and opened the wooden box. Inside was a very small scroll.
"Hmm?" Chen Zhong tilted his head. He saw a somewhat familiar pattern printed on the surface of the scroll.
A bird with its wings spread, to be more specific, a crow!
This is the symbol of the Crow Cult!
Chen Zhong instantly understood the whole story.
"The Crow Cult?" Leon also had an expression of sudden enlightenment. "This should be something the leader obtained when he eradicated the Crow Cult. I have some impression that it seems to be related to prophecy and divination."
"Prophecy?" Chen Zhong's heart skipped a beat.
In fact, Chen Zhong has always avoided talking about the savior that Wulan and others talked about.
He has never considered himself the protagonist, but various realities show that there is a high probability that he is the protagonist of this world.
