Mysteries: Arcana Wars

Soon after, the two arrived near their destination.

Central Church, Wine and Boat.

The Wine-Boiled Boat Church can be said to be the largest church in the entire Bayam. In terms of function, it can be said to be the headquarters of the Church of the Lost God and the highest-level religious place. Its scale is unmatched by other churches in the Rorsted Archipelago.

The lost and confused god? The lost and lost god? Or the lost and lost god?

People have always been casual about the name of this sect, and the clergy in the church are too lazy to stand up and correct everyone's way of addressing. In fact, they have not even unified the precise name of this god in official documents in formal occasions. Many nicknames can be used casually, just like eating beef or mutton for lunch today.

It seems that if the title of the god is too long, it will affect the image of the god in the minds of the people and the spread of faith. Therefore, for convenience, people privately call it the Lost God or the Lost Church.

Just as the Church of Steam has the Heart of Steam, the Church of Night has the Nightwatchers and the Red Gloves, the Church of the Lost also has its own official Extraordinary organization. These Extraordinary law enforcers are called "Dealers".

The Seven of Hearts and the Three of Diamonds did not choose to enter through the main gate, but parked the car far away and entered through a secret passage under a small hotel.

It was very troublesome to meet the dealers in the church, and the two did not like dealing with the boring dealers in the Lost Church. Moreover, the Seven of Hearts had several identities on the wanted list of the dealers, and every time she came back, she would have some fun with these dealers, and there were even some colleagues in the organization lurking in the dealers' team. If it was not for fun, or if it was necessary, the Seven of Hearts and the Three of Diamonds did not want to meet the troublesome dealers.

Passing through a series of bustling underground shopping malls, the two entered a long and deep corridor. After moving downward for a long time, they finally knocked on the door of the secret room.

"come in."

The two entered the room and closed the door. The secret room was completely dark, with only a dim light barely illuminating the ancient book.

Ta, ta, a dull sound of footsteps was heard, and someone slowly walked towards the two of them. The man had dark eyes and tufts of short black hair on both sides of his cheeks. He exuded two completely different temperaments of old and young. He was changing a deck of playing cards in his hand and was walking slowly out of the darkness...

Snap, the Seven of Hearts turned on the light.

"Boss, stop kidding. It's not like we can't afford electricity. This wire is secretly connected to the Cathedral of the Wine and the Boat. What are you trying to save here?"

The secret room was suddenly brightly lit, as bright as day.

"..."

Antigonus sighed helplessly and decided not to bother with these little scoundrels.

As the Pope of the Lost Church, he also has to pay the electricity bill for the Cathedral.

Under the constraints of the [Pact of Silence], almost no angel dares to interfere with the normal development of society or intervene in various social activities. This is especially true for the angels of the major orthodox churches. On the surface, they have to be indifferent to worldly affairs and let things take their own course, and they only regard themselves as watchmen.

But the apparent peace does not mean there is no struggle in secret.

Not to mention that there are conflicts between churches, some extraordinary families or groups have transformed into capital groups such as consortiums and companies and re-entered the historical stage. The world is still in a state of turmoil. These extraordinary forces have more or less some unknown means to spy on or attack other forces.

The Lost Church needs this kind of dark power to act even more. After the Sky Curtain War, the gods who originally protected the church fell into disarray, and the church needed more means of self-protection.

It was under such circumstances that the Society for the Study of Contemporary Virtues was founded by Antigonus after the Apollo War.

At that time, this crappy organization wasn't called this crappy name.

When Antigonus learned that this group of people abbreviated the code name "Lord of Prison" that he had come up with with great difficulty as "Prisoner", he felt that he could not give these bastards a good face during this period, so he now abbreviated the name of the organization as "Society of Virtue".

The Society of Virtue is completely independent of the church dealers. They have no title, no identity, and even no full name. They only have a poker code as their daily name, and in other communications, they will use other code systems to address each other.

This bunch of scoundrels are only responsible to Antigonus. Their life and death have nothing to do with the Lost Church, and they will not receive any assistance from the Church. They have completely drawn a line. In fact, they are another illegal secret organization. They will never get any honor or affirmation. At most, they can only die as an outlaw, and may even be cursed by legal dealers for various reasons. In their daily actions, they must also take not exposing the existence of their organization as the first priority, and try to weaken the presence of the [Virtue Society] in this world.

To put it bluntly, this organization is Antigonus' black glove.

Compared with the church's open dealer organization, the Society of Virtue can abandon all secular views and dogmatic constraints, complete various actions with extremely high freedom, and can often do things that the dealers cannot do.

This kind of position is not something that ordinary people can achieve. Few people can maintain such a lofty and firm belief in the Lost God. Every action in the dark is a torture to their psychology. There are very few believers who can persist in these various actions without collapsing. It is difficult for ordinary people to do this.

Faced with this difficult problem, Antigonus changed his thinking directly.

Since ordinary humans can't do this job, can't we just find extraordinary humans?

So Antigonus carefully selected a group of scoundrels who met his requirements from all over the Rorsted Archipelago, especially those crazy people who played with life and didn't care about life and death, and tricked them into sacrificing their real names in the True Name Code in exchange for playing card codes, and redefined the organization's corporate culture. Thus, an organization that gathered together for the fun of life was established.

Since faith and belonging cannot be revealed, then just remove faith and belonging from spiritual construction to treat the symptoms and root cause!

As the boss, Antigonus provides tasks and fun, and the poker players as subordinates complete the actions. The entire organization is very loose and free, and Antigonus only requires unity and trust from them.

Just by teaching these bunch of idiots about unity and trust in such a short time, He felt that he was worthy of being an immortal and his methods of dealing with humans were indeed quite impressive.

The Antigonus Church was a Sequence One and was bound by the [Pact of Silence]. At the same time, due to the loss of the Lord, the Lost Church was full of mysteries for other churches, and they all had to monitor the Lost Church in various ways.

He could not leave the church, but the scoundrels of the Society of Virtue could run around the world. They became Antigonus' eyes, and their daily actions mainly involved collecting intelligence from all over the world, supplemented by assassinations and sabotage activities.

The playing cards flew in Antigonus's hands. After shuffling them several times, he placed them on the table, then took out a file from his robe and placed it on the table.

"This cult seems to be very active in the Rorsted Archipelago recently. We have to destroy them during this period. Go investigate first. The specific time for action is to be determined."

The Three of Diamonds nodded in agreement and looked through the file with the Seven of Hearts.

"If there's nothing else to do, just go do what you need to do!"

Having almost exhausted his patience and time, Antigonus waved his hand to drive them away. The Seven of Hearts wanted to raise her hand to ask some stupid questions, but the sturdy Three of Diamonds grabbed her hand, held her head and covered her mouth, and dragged her away.

The two of them left the secret room tugging at each other. The struggling Seven of Hearts even turned off the lights, leaving Antigonus in a dark and lonely secret room.

Only humans care about this kind of feeling, but not Antigonus. He cares more about the day that keeps rolling in his mind than whether there is a light or not.

It sounds ridiculous. As the Pope, Antigonus didn't know the name of the god he served, where he had gone, or how he was doing now. He only knew that the god had left a special date for him before he disappeared.

This day is getting closer.

As time went by, the unknown and fate gave rise to more uneasiness, making Antigonus use playing cards for divination more ordinary during this period.

Will there be someone in the Virtue Society who will be the key during this period?

Antigonus reached out and turned over the first card on the pile.

The result was as He expected. Over the past few years, He gave the same answer and the same card to this question day after day.

[Seven of Hearts]

Sure enough, it was him again.
