A special guest came to St. Samuel's Church tonight.
"Good evening, Your Excellency Lin Ruo."
After showing the secret badge, Lin Ruo was led to an old man without much effort.
The old man wore a black and red clergy robe, with five dark holy symbols on his chest. His face was thin and clean. The most noticeable thing was his pair of deep eyes, which revealed a very peaceful meaning.
Obvious characteristics of night.
He is Saint Anthony Stevenson, one of the thirteen archbishops of the Church of Dark Night, the head of the Backlund Diocese of the Church of Dark Night, and a true high-ranking figure in the Dark Night.
At the same time, he is also the second person in the original book who raises cats for the goddess, ahem, and takes care of Klein for the goddess... By the way, the first person is Arianna, the secret servant who is nicknamed Aunt Anna by book friends.
At this moment, after hearing Saint Anthony's friendly greetings, Lin Ruo, whose face had been adjusted to his original appearance due to the ability of the faceless man, also showed a gentle smile and said: "Good evening, Lord Saint Anthony, I hope my unannounced visit will not disturb you.
You. Actually, I came here this time because I need your help with something."
There was no doubt as to why St. Anthony knew of his existence. After all, even if there was no such thing as the oracle of the goddess of the night, after Tingen revealed his identity, Lin Ruo knew that Dunn had reported his existence to the superiors.
This is also the result of Lin Ruo's deliberate laissez-faire. After all, since the identity of the Night Blessed has been officially verified in Tingen, there is no need to continue to hide some things.
If not, Lin Ruo would not have dared to bring a secret badge and change into his true appearance to visit Archbishop St. Anthony Stevenson.
"I am happy to help you, Your Excellency Lin Ruo, but I don't know what kind of difficulties you have encountered?" Archbishop St. Anthony asked warmly. It may be that he has received a divine message from the goddess in advance, or it may be that the god
The Beloved One is special enough, and when facing Lin Ruo, the Archbishop's attitude is obviously quite good.
Lin Ruo thought about it for a while before asking: "Your Excellency Saint Anthony, have you ever heard of the eight paths of Si Chen and Qi, Lamp, Cast, Cup, Heart, Blade, Winter and Moth?" After thinking about it, Lin Ruo
I decided to throw out some dry information as an introduction to the problem.
Although this would reveal his knowledge about the esoteric religion, to put it bluntly, as a person who was arranged by the goddess of the night just after time travel and was already "favored", Lin Ruo would not be able to clear himself from the goddess long ago. Since this is not the case, it is better to
If you cover up more and be more open-minded, you might be able to get more clues.
Hearing this, although it was not obvious, Saint Anthony was still stunned for a moment, and then said with some confusion: "Si Chen and the Eight Paths?"
He then seemed to be reminiscing, then shook his head and said: "I'm sorry, Mr. Lin Ruo, I don't know the existence of what you mentioned."
"Then have you heard of the Colonel, the Lion Maker, the Night Watchman..." Although his heart skipped a beat when he saw Archbishop St. Anthony shaking his head, Lin Ruo still persisted in asking, asking him all the names of Si Chen he knew.
All over.
Archbishop St. Anthony was silent. He seemed to be reminiscing. After a moment, he slowly shook his head and said: "I have never heard of it. I have no impression of the names you mentioned... What kind of existence are these?"
"You can regard them as...evil gods." Lin Ruo explained, but her heart was completely cold.
Lin Ruo knew clearly that if someone with the status of Archbishop Saint Anthony knew nothing about Esotericism, then most likely, there would really be nothing related to Esotericism in the mysterious world before.
But now he encountered it, and what it meant made him feel dizzy.
Maybe we can think optimistically, maybe that blade believer is just an example of time travel like him?
Lin Ruo comforted herself in her heart, and then heard the old man in front of her ask:
"Your Excellency Lin Ruo, is the difficulty you encountered related to the evil gods you just mentioned?"
"It can be said that it is not difficult...but I need their information and need to confirm something. This is very important." Lin Ruo told the truth. The main purpose of his visit to Anthony Stevenson was
Confirm whether the other party knows about Esoteric Cult. But in addition to this, Lin Ruo does also have the idea of collecting information related to Esoteric Cult.
After all, his understanding of Esoteric Cult is limited to games, but the content of the game is just that little bit. Obviously now that the game has become a reality, the Esoteric Cult can no longer be summarized by just a little bit of game content.
"I understand, I will ask someone to investigate what you said..." Archbishop St. Anthony nodded thoughtfully, his expression became serious, and then he asked: "Is there anything else?"
"I need to check some information about the characteristics of the twenty-two paths and some ritual magic. At the same time, I also need to check the records of various extraordinary events in Backlund in recent years." Lin Ruo said without changing his expression.
It was also the third purpose of his trip - to make up lessons and to further understand the current status of Backlund's extraordinary field.
Upon hearing this, Archbishop St. Anthony glanced at Lin Ruo and said nothing. He nodded slightly and stood up, saying: "Please follow me, Your Excellency Lin Ruo."
The two left St. Anthony's study, walked through the long corridor, and finally entered a place that was obviously an archive and information room.
"Except for the things in that cabinet, which you don't have permission to look at, you can check all the other information here - if the results are not found today, you can come here at any time to continue checking in the future." Archbishop St. Anthony said briefly at first
He then led Lin Ruo to a bookshelf filled with documents and began to introduce them one by one: "In the past ten years, the information on the extraordinary events we have been involved in handling in Backlund Parish are all here..."
"There are books about ritual magic here..."
"These are records from St. Samuel's Church. There are records about the characteristics of the twenty-two pathways, but they are incomplete...Although the low- and medium-sequence data are fairly detailed, there are very few high-sequence data."
After the introduction, Saint Anthony continued: "I hope you can find what you are looking for."
After saying that, he drew a crimson moon on his chest and said:
"May the goddess bless you!"
"Praise the goddess!" Lin Ruo responded equally skillfully, drawing a crimson moon on his chest, and then said: "If I want to check the information, I can do it alone. Mr. Saint Anthony, you should go and do your business. You don't need to accompany me.
I."
"Then I'll take my leave." St. Anthony nodded slightly when he heard this, and left the archives neatly without asking any questions or forcing him to stay.
Lin Ruo watched him leave, and then her eyes fell on the pile of information.
He casually pulled out a book and got down to business.
The archives room immediately fell silent, and there was no sound for a long time.
