Chapter 42: Angels, the Deep Sea, and Devils (Seeking Follow-up Reads)

Golden Banyan City, Church.

Two eagle-like, robust figures stood atop the circular dome, their pure white wings tightly folded, their handsome and beautiful faces bearing inscrutable expressions.

"Ma En has been discharged from the hospital," the female angel said. "The Saint is going to see him again. Should we..."

"Have you forgotten what happened to Elsa and Rul?" the male angel shook his head. "If we reveal ourselves carelessly, the demons will easily seize the opportunity. The murderer who killed them hasn't been found yet."

"But what if he makes the Saint waver again?" the female angel said anxiously. "The Saint is kind and righteous, but her attitude towards this younger brother is not in line with the doctrine."

The male angel said:

"In any case, the affairs of mortals should be left to mortals to solve. This is also a necessary test for the Saint. We should trust her."

The female angel said:

"I trust the Saint very much, but what if now isn't the time for a test? What if there's a viper hidden in the test? What if that Ma En is actually an incarnation of a demon?"

"If the Saint's heart is truly tainted because of him..." He knew very well how much his companion cared about Chen Yun. "Mortals will naturally solve him."

Atlantis, Royal District.

Ellie stuffed the ancient book on the table back into the bookshelf.

The Overseer, Father, prophecy, and the land…

The princess walked out of her residence. Above the city were magical seawater channels everywhere, and warriors riding sharks and dolphins swam out of the city—they were conducting military exercises.

War was imminent, and all three Sage Kings had passed the resolution.

Ellie was not a pacifist. She had also participated in the war against the sea tribes as an accompanying mage for two years, and she had seen the lairs of those bloodthirsty creatures, knowing that they had their own language and descendants, not just simple monsters.

Therefore, she also knew that not every problem could have a happy ending.

The reason Ellie wanted to stop the war was very simple.

In other cities, she was a princess of noble status.

But in the royal city, rumors had accompanied Ellie since she was born. No one had ever seen her mother, and her father had once traveled to the land. Rumors that Ellie was a mixed-blood were everywhere. She herself had heard no fewer than a dozen stories.

However, only the stories from her father had some truth.

But before her father went to see the Sage Kings, Ellie had not fully realized the meaning of her identity.

Her father was unwilling for the Sage Kings to attack the land, not only because he had lived with the land people and knew that they were no different from himself, but also because his mother was born there.

If she could prove that attacking the surface was not a wise choice, she might be able to persuade the three Sage Kings to change their minds and let her father leave the dark dungeon.

Ellie originally wanted to find out the reason for the sea tribes' riot, but in fact, she didn't have much hope for it. But after seeing Ma En, she had another idea—she could also prove that attacking the surface would not be a winning battle.

Thirty years ago, the Sage Kings sent thousands of spies to the land, including Ellie's father. They tried their best to figure out the technological level of the land, and then they found that the land hardly used magic technology anymore, and there were only a few traces of magicians.

And their comprehensive technological level was far lower than that of Atlantis. They didn't even notice the existence of these thousands of spies, and some even infiltrated the official organizations of the land government and collected crucial information.

Finally, the three Sage Kings decided to carry out a tentative attack.

They planned to use the power of artifacts to flood several coastal cities in two years.

Then Atlantis would appear in front of the land people, claiming that this was caused by the sea tribes, and in return for helping them defeat these monsters that caused the sea disasters, they would ask for those cities that had been submerged.

But from Ellie's point of view, that strong man who could arbitrarily detain his soul from the royal city of Atlantis might even be comparable to a Sage King. Even the strongest shaman among the sea tribes could not touch the central royal city protected by the temple.

The information brought back by the spies was likely not accurate. Perhaps the land was more dangerous than they imagined.

In any case, she had to take the opportunity to collect information about the land and find evidence that could explain why war should not be waged. Then she might be able to get the Sage Kings to change their minds and reconsider how to contact the land.

The princess walked firmly towards the library.

Southern Eastern Federation.

Xiang Yudi swallowed.

If what he just saw wasn't an illusion, then he really had a chance to escape his current life. No, no, he couldn't let himself be overwhelmed by ecstasy so easily.

What he saw might even be an incarnation of Lanudaster. This devil was known for liking to joke, maybe this was a lie, a trap to make him completely degenerate.

But…

Xiang Yudi lowered his head and looked at his arm. Dense scars formed a magic circle that was difficult for ordinary people to understand, but he could understand the meaning at a glance—this was his talent.

When he was seventeen years old, he tried to commit suicide, and almost succeeded.

His heart stopped beating, his chest no longer rose and fell, and modern medicine could no longer do anything for him, but the cult leader found him. The man who took the baby out of the orphanage could do anything.

He dragged his adopted son's soul back—at the cost of the fresh blood of two innocent people.

And he also left a special magic circle on Xiang Yudi's body.

Now, even if he successfully committed suicide, his body would turn into a magic circle for summoning demons.

He threw the knife and fork on the table at will, got up and walked to the exit of the restaurant.

Creak.

Two cult members stood behind the door, one of whom asked in confusion:

"Master, have you completed the Eucharist ceremony?"

"Completed." He said expressionlessly, "Take me to the basement. I've made up my mind. I want to learn magic, as well as the knowledge of our master and his enemies."

The two cult members both looked surprised and delighted:

"The cult leader will definitely be very pleased to hear about this."

"And if we can get your help, our summoning ceremony in East New State may also be completed sooner."

To get rid of their control, he had to collect enough information, and also had to determine that the Overseer was not a devil, but this also meant that he had to be forced to contact forbidden knowledge—some words really had the power to corrupt people's hearts.

Xiang Yudi still remembered another thing Ma En said.

There was a set of holy artifacts in the Lanudaster secret cult, which contained a terrifying power that even the cult leader feared. If he could gain the trust of his adoptive father, he might get a chance to come into contact with that abyss holy artifact…
