“Nice to meet you, Mr. Bonway. I am ‘Mr. C’, the ‘Messenger of God’ of the Aurora Society in Ahoa County.”
At this time, those who came to participate in the Beyonder gathering had basically dispersed, and only a few figures remained at the scene.
These voices were unmoved by Mr. C's words, obviously they knew about it long ago.
Of course, this also included Hynes Vincent, who was wearing a fox mask.
“Indeed……”
Roger muttered to himself, but on the surface, he looked a little surprised:
“Aurora Society?”
“You may have heard the name of our organization, and you have also heard those bad rumors.”
Mr. C chuckled: “But those are all the so-called Orthodox Church's deliberate slanders. They only promote those great, glorious, and correct things, while turning a blind eye to the dark side of historical reality.
“In fact, in the history of several major Churches, there are also countless dirty and unspeakable things that have been hidden. This is the darkness of Humanity, and even the World itself. As a wise man, it is better to understand these truths than to deny them.”
Facing this set of great arguments, Roger listened almost to the point of… oh, no, being in a trance, he asked in a daze:
“Then, according to you, how should we seek these truths?”
Seeing this, Mr. C couldn't help but nod in approval, as if he was very appreciative of Roger's "enlightenment."
“Of course, it is to follow the true Lord of our ‘Aurora Society’s’ Faith, who bears all the sins of the world, just to point out a path to salvation for us.”
“Lord?”
Roger heard this title, and immediately thought of the Sequence 0 True God of the "Secret Prayer" Pathway, who hung himself in the Land of the Forsaken Gods and babbled to his believers, and was jokingly called the "True Rap Lord" by many netizens in his Previous Life.
Completely unaware of Roger's blasphemous thoughts, Mr. C just nodded slightly and said to himself:
“Yes, He is the Lord of Creation, the Ruler behind the Shadow Veil, the Fallen Self of all Living Beings.”
“Created everything? Then the Gods proclaimed by the Churches…”
Roger showed a look of disbelief, which was very consistent with the reaction that a common Loen citizen who had received Orthodox Gods education should have.
Because in the Creation Myth of the First Epoch, all the Gods were transformed from the Creator who awakened from chaos.
In this way, all the Orthodox Gods can find their own legitimacy in such a story, for example, the Goddess of the Night, who is universally believed in the Loen Kingdom, is one of the Eyes of the Original Creator.
It has to be said that the "Aurora Society's" Doctrine still has some arguments. After ordinary people hear the Revered Name of the "True Creator", they will easily associate it with the Original Creator, thus causing a shake in their Faith.
“Yes. He created this World, He is everywhere, existing in the bodies of every Living Being.
“Everything has Divinity, as long as our Spirit is strong enough and can withstand the Trials time and time again, we can accumulate abundant Divinity and eventually become Angels who serve My Lord.”
“So, are you willing to embark on this sacred Pathway?”
Roger's eyes trembled, and he tried to suppress the urge to laugh by putting on the "Scholar's Ring." He gritted his teeth and was silent for a moment before saying:
“Am I… am I worthy?”
“Of course, as long as you are willing to join us.” Mr. C Nod Slightly.
“To be honest, after listening to your words today, I feel that it is better than reading books for ten years.”
Roger nodded and quoted a "classic saying of Emperor Roselle," and then said:
“I am willing. I can feel that this is the truth I have been pursuing. Mr. C, thank you for telling me today.”
In the past period of time, Roger has been repeatedly conveying his similar thoughts to Hynes Vincent in a targeted manner, so it is not ruled out that the Aurora Society has already observed and reviewed him.
It seems that today is just a sermon that was temporarily initiated, but in fact, it is just a matter of course.
Mr. C was quite satisfied. He glanced at Hynes Vincent, who was pretending to be calm, and took out a beautifully bound black booklet from his robe and handed it to Roger.
“Very good. This is some of the myths about My Lord and related knowledge, you can study it.
“Mettis, you are a youth with wisdom, but your courage and determination still need to be tested.
“To join the ‘Aurora Society’, you also need to complete a task as a Trial given to you by the organization.”
He said softly to Roger, and even the title was changed to a more intimate form, as if the two were long-time partners.
“What task?” Roger took the booklet and asked back.
“This depends on which Pathway Beyonder you are, so that I can arrange a suitable task.”
“I am a ‘Apprentice’ of Sequence 9.” Roger replied.
In fact, this should also be an obvious conclusion, because Roger previously tried to sell the Potion Formula of "Apprentice" and "Trick Master" in a row. As a Low Sequence Beyonder, this is likely to be his only family property.
As for why he didn't Advance to Sequence 8, there are too many possible reasons, such as not being ready yet, not having the materials, etc.
“Exactly. Recently, the Law Enforcement of the Night and the Storm destroyed a Sermon point belonging to us. They not only brutally Imprisoned those Lost Lambs who were willing to submit to My Lord, but also took away a precious Relic. Your task is to go to the ‘Night’ Church's base in Tingen to retrieve it.
“Of course, as a newcomer, I won't let you go alone. The specific time and Location will be told to you by your companions. You can wait patiently these days.”
Mr. C was not surprised. His implication was that Roger should use his "Open Door" Ability to break through some closed areas and obtain the so-called Relic.
As for what that thing is, Roger preliminarily judged that it should be a Strange Item, and it is likely to belong to the "Secret Prayer" Pathway.
On the other hand, combined with various Details, the Sermon point in the other party's mouth is very likely to be the Wharf that was there before.
“If Mr. C knew that I even participated in the report of that encirclement and suppression action, would he be unable to help but ‘Herd’ me on the spot?”
Roger couldn't help but mutter to himself, but he still agreed verbally.
In fact, he also wanted to know the inside story of the Wharf incident. Roger had a hunch that as long as he participated in this task, he would likely be able to find out more truths.
“Then, good luck.”
After saying that, Mr. C, together with several "Aurora Society" members beside him, recited some obscure prayers of reverence for the "True Creator."
Roger had not learned these things, he just listened quietly, and then said a sentence in the tone commonly used by the Orthodox Church:
“Praise the great True Creator!”
“Praise the great True Creator!” The people around seemed to want to encourage Roger's Faith, and they seemed to be infected by him, and they all said the latter's newly created praise.
This made Roger suddenly feel that he had the potential to be the head of an Evil God Church…
Finished for today.
