Dorian's voice also carried a hint of solemnity as he said, "I performed a divination before coming, but listening to you, it's true that I wasn't cautious enough."
"There are too many ways to interfere with divination."
Fors stood awkwardly to the side, especially when Lawrence praised her. Although she knew he was genuinely commending her, she still felt a bit of shame.
"Fors, I will take some time to verify my impression of you. I hope you don't mind; this is a necessary precaution." Dorian said gently to Fors, interrupting her inner monologue.
"Ah? Okay, no problem." Fors snapped back to reality and quickly nodded.
Lawrence and Dorian tacitly avoided the previous topic and instead inquired about Fors's potion digestion progress, then informed her of some common Beyonder world knowledge.
After conversing for a while and bidding farewell to Lawrence and Dorian, Fors left first.
Lawrence and Dorian fell silent again. After a long while, Lawrence finally spoke, "When are you planning to go back?"
"Today," Dorian replied without hesitation, then looked at the aged Lawrence and sighed, "Have you made up your mind?"
Lawrence nodded heavily, "Facing an ordinary Mid-Sequence Beyonder, we might have some methods, but facing an unknown great existence, we can only choose to cooperate."
"What truly concerns me is a sentence he said: Mr. Door will inevitably return in the not-too-distant future."
"I don't know if this is a prophecy or what... But I really want to know why our Abraham Family's curse has lasted for over a thousand years!"
"Alas!" Dorian sighed; he, too, could not let go of this question.
East Borough, in front of an apartment building.
An old-clothed middle-aged man approached Leyton and asked kindly, "Sir, have you heard of the Original Creator?"
The Original Creator? The image promoted by the Aurora Order? Is True Creator preparing to align himself with the authority of the Original Creator? Is this not going to cause the former God Almighty to revive within him?
It seems the benefits of cooperating with the Loen Royal Family are significant. The Aurora Order is now so brazen in developing believers, daring to proselytize to anyone. I don't even look like a resident of the East Borough!
After a moment of thought, Leyton carefully replied, "I've heard of him."
The old-clothed middle-aged man opposite immediately smiled and said, "Then do you know about the coming of the apocalypse? Do you know that the Original Creator will establish a sanctuary on earth to shelter believers?"
"Every church preaches this way." Leyton maintained his expression and responded.
The old-clothed middle-aged man's expression remained unchanged, still smiling as he said, "There are many believers of Gods in the world, but there are only a few Gods. When the apocalypse comes, will they truly care about every believer?"
"No matter which church, nobles and the wealthy always have privileges."
"That Original Creator is different. He exists within every person, within every thing, treating every believer equally, regardless of noble or humble birth... When He awakens, He will lead every believer to a free and equal society..."
Have evangelists learned to put others down now? But then again, the Aurora Order is inherently hostile to the Seven Orthodox Churches and the royal families of various countries. Putting down their enemies is normal practice.
"Unfortunately, I already have a God I believe in, and I have no intention of changing my faith for now." Leyton smiled and shook his head, refusing the other party's continued proselytizing.
"It's alright, I completely understand your choice. Faith is something that must be taken seriously!"
"I wish you a pleasant life! If you want to hear about the deeds of my Lord, you can come here to find me on Monday to Friday afternoons."
The old-clothed middle-aged man smiled and nodded, then politely took his leave.
Leyton then wandered around the East Borough for a few circles, confirming the Aurora Order's current proselytizing situation in Backlund before leaving.
Cherwood Borough, Minsk Street.
When Leyton returned to his rented house, a gray homing pigeon was already waiting on the windowsill.
As Leyton approached, the gray pigeon twitched as if stimulated, and a scarlet mouth split open on its chest and abdomen:
"Envoy of God, one of our strongholds was discovered by official Beyonders and has been destroyed."
"It's because of the assassination of Duke Negan last time, and the Loen Royal Family is pinning it on our Aurora Order... Heh, a bunch of hypocrites."
"However, the Loen Royal Family has given us some compensation. Our proselytizing in places like the East Borough and Dock District will be easier, which aligns more with our interests."
"I understand." Leyton nodded slightly, then added, "When you proselytize, be careful not to provoke the Church of the Lord of Storms. They are currently furious, and if they discover you, they will launch a crazy crackdown."
"Our targets for proselytizing are the common people at the bottom. Those who are accustomed to being high above won't notice these things for a while."
After the gray pigeon finished speaking, it collapsed as if taking its last breath, the scarlet mouth torn open on its chest and abdomen not even closing.
Leyton extended his spirituality, confirmed it was just a dead pigeon, then rubbed his fingers, creating a golden flame that quickly incinerated the pigeon's corpse. The remaining ashes were blown away by a gust of wind.
Why do I feel like I'm getting more and more used to this identity as an Envoy of God for the Aurora Order?
Leyton muttered to himself, then shook his head, casting aside his wandering thoughts, and went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.
The next morning, as Leyton opened the newspaper, he saw the most prominent news headline:
"Aurora Order Stronghold Discovered, Terrorist Organization Suffers Heavy Blow!"
"A trade of interests, the Loen Royal Family is truly impressive, deceiving everyone without a trace."
He sighed casually, put the newspaper aside, and began to enjoy his breakfast.
Thump-thump! Two short, sharp knocks sounded.
The door opened automatically, and Klein walked in, in a good mood, "I have a clue about a Fourth Epoch noble tomb. Are you interested?"
"Are you going to challenge the Red Angel Evil Spirit or an Amon's avatar?" Leyton glanced at Klein, his tone slightly odd.
In his impression, the only Fourth Epoch tombs near Backlund were the one left by Amon with a passage to the Abyss, and the Blood Emperor's tomb before he became a god, but the latter was under the control of the Loen Royal Family.
There was also a ruin with a Red Angel Evil Spirit, also a remnant of the Fourth Epoch.
"Ah?" Klein was a little surprised, "You know?"
Leyton nodded slightly, "I know a little. I am indeed interested. Which tomb do you want to explore?"
"That's a tomb belonging to the Amon Family, but Amon is still alive, so it's likely some contingency he left behind."
"There are many Beyonder characteristics left inside, some belonging to Beyonders who died there, and some from Beyonder creatures in the tomb. There might even be Mystical Items."
Klein sighed as he spoke, knowing there were good things but unable to obtain them.
"Perhaps there are even one or two Worms of Time left by Amon."
Leyton struck Klein with that, then after a moment of thought, said, "However, I can ask Queen Mystic for help. With her, the arrangements left by Amon shouldn't pose a danger."
"Indeed!" Klein nodded slightly.
He had originally thought of asking the other party to find Queen Mystic to explore that tomb. After hearing Miss Sharron's description of that High-Sequence powerhouse, he thought of Queen Mystic.
Amon's arrangements might be dangerous, but for Queen Mystic, it should be fine... Moreover, destroying Amon's residual means would be beneficial to him and cause no harm.
"Wait a moment, I'll finish my breakfast." Having said that, Leyton sped up his breakfast.
After breakfast, he immediately went to the study, took out a piece of paper and a pen, and wrote a simple letter.
Then he took out the materials for the ritual from the utility room, quickly set up a messenger summoning ritual, and chanted the incantation to summon the messenger:
"Invisible creature roaming the Spirit World, strange spirit friendly to humanity, messenger exclusive to Bernadette Gustav."
After the incantation was finished, nothing happened around them.
Klein looked at Leyton with some confusion, "That's it? Where's the messenger?"
Leyton narrowed his eyes. He didn't see Bernadette's messenger, but he saw the lingering traces in the air after it had acted.
A speedster? Its presence wasn't very strong either; even Klein's spiritual intuition didn't detect anything unusual.
After a moment of thought, Leyton tilted his head slightly and said, "You'll know if you look at where the letter was."
Klein looked over at the sound, and the place where a letter had been placed was now empty.
"The messenger came? When?" Klein asked curiously.
Leyton shook his head slightly, "It should have come as soon as I finished chanting the incantation. It was just too fast, and its presence was very low, so we didn't notice its existence."
