"Xing Shu Xiu Shu Hui (Star Numerology Scripture Society)..."
After listening to Mr. Aldrich's words, Dorothy murmured, many thoughts arising in her heart.
'Xing Shu Xiu Shu Hui (Star Numerology Scripture Society), a secret society that perished in the long river of history, and the only society that pursued the path of 'Qi' (Awakening/Enlightenment). According to Mr. Aldrich, after this secret society was destroyed, no Extraordinary who directly embarked on the path of 'Qi' (Awakening/Enlightenment) appeared again. I am likely the only true 'Qi' (Awakening/Enlightenment) Extraordinary in this era.
'Therefore, if I want to obtain more information about the advancement of 'Qi' (Awakening/Enlightenment) Extraordinary, I must search for the ruins left by the Xing Shu Xiu Shu Hui (Star Numerology Scripture Society). The closest one to me is in Tivian...
'It seems... I need to find a way to travel far.'
"Thank you for the information, Mr. Aldrich. I think you have shown me the direction for the future," Dorothy said to Mr. Aldrich in a grateful tone, and he replied with a smile.
"It's nothing. You helped me a lot today. This information is only natural," Mr. Aldrich took a sip of tea, then raised an eyebrow, looking at Dorothy with a playful expression.
"But then again, I am indeed a little surprised that you are actually unaffected by Spirit Sight. Is this the special characteristic of 'Qi' (Awakening/Enlightenment) Extraordinary? Or is it... that only those with special characteristics like yours can become 'Qi' (Awakening/Enlightenment) Extraordinary?"
Mr. Aldrich said calmly, and Dorothy smiled before responding calmly.
"As expected... the information you just told me contains Spirit Sight..."
"Of course, some details about the Golden advancement of the path of'Shi' (Stone), and the existence of the Xing Shu Xiu Shu Hui (Star Numerology Scripture Society), these are all secrets that ordinary people shouldn't see. How could they not contain Spirit Sight? You've purchased secret transmission from me too frequently. I suspected early on whether you had some highly effective means of countering Spirit Sight. After trying it today, hehe... it's indeed highly effective."
Mr. Aldrich said with a smile. Dorothy was actually aware of Mr. Aldrich's probing because the system had given her relevant hints during the conversation. Therefore, she was also very clear that the conversation contained Spirit Sight. She could have pretended to be affected by Spirit Sight to deceive Mr. Aldrich, but there was no need for that. An old fox like Mr. Aldrich could tell if she was faking it at a glance, and after hearing these secret stories with Spirit Sight, she could also extract a wave of Spirituality.
"The secret of 'Qi' (Awakening/Enlightenment) Extraordinary is truly fascinating, Miss Meisihuos. If I can afford a satisfactory price in the future, please be sure to trade it to me," Mr. Aldrich said with a smile, looking at Dorothy in front of him, and Dorothy responded lightly.
"Words like that... perhaps you should say them when you have the price."
Just as Dorothy and Mr. Aldrich were talking, on the long table not far away, Sister Vanya's tightly closed eyes began to tremble slightly, and finally slowly opened.
"Phew... What... what happened to me? Why did I suddenly faint..."
Covering her still dazed head, Vanya sat up on the table and began to try hard to recall the details before she fainted.
'Hiss... At that time, I think I was confessing in front of the altar, and then suddenly there seemed to be a loud noise outside, so I looked over, and then I saw... a monster! A monster made entirely of white bones!'
Recalling the skeletal monster composed of countless skeletons with a huge deer skull, Vanya shivered involuntarily.
'What was that thing! Why did it appear here?! That kind of thing... that terrifying evil spirit... Could it be the true purpose of our action this time, what Aka's will truly points to, could it be that monster? Not the small skirmish with those two Extraordinary?'
Vanya thought this to herself. Before, Dorothy had asked her for help using Aka's will as an excuse. After arriving, Vanya only helped Dorothy deal with two Extraordinary who didn't seem to be very high-level. Vanya was a little strange for a moment, why would the mysterious Aka, as a true god, set her sights on such small figures.
And now it seems that those two small figures were just a superficial appearance. The true target of Aka's will was actually that skeletal monster! That utterly evil monster that made her faint just by looking at it! The weapons used by those two Extraordinary were all bones, which are probably deeply connected to that monster, perhaps they are its minions! Or perhaps this monster was summoned by these evil Extraordinary from the realm of evil gods!
Vanya thought this way, and the more she thought about it, the more likely it seemed. She now believed that perhaps those Extraordinary just now were cultists who might have been summoning some evil creature to cause disaster, and the will that Aka conveyed to Miss Dorothea was probably to stop that monster from causing this disaster!
'So... this is the will of Aka beneath the surface?'
Vanya was thinking in astonishment at this moment. Just as she was considering whether to immediately confess to Aka for doubting the god, her waking movement was noticed by Dorothy and Mr. Aldrich.
"Oh, Sister Vanya, you're awake," Dorothy said when she saw Vanya wake up, and upon hearing Dorothy's words, Vanya was startled, then quickly got off the table and replied.
"Miss Dorothea! Where are we? That monster! Where is that evil bone monster?! Where did that monster go?!" Vanya asked Dorothy in a panicked tone, and Dorothy walked over, patted her shoulder, and replied with a smile.
"Don't worry, that monster has been eliminated. You were affected by some divine residue and fainted, but you're fine now."
"It's been eliminated? It's good that it's been eliminated... But, divine residue?!"
Listening to Dorothy's words, Vanya was again astonished, because Dorothy's words seemed to confirm her previous guess.
'Divine residue... Sure enough, was that monster summoned from the realm of some evil god? Could it be a minion of an evil god?! Did I just participate in resisting the invasion of an evil god's minion into the mortal world?
'Is this the will of Aka?!'
Thinking this way, Vanya stood frozen. At this moment, Dorothy turned her head to look at Mr. Aldrich and spoke.
"By the way, this Sister also participated in this action and helped me a lot. Shouldn't you give her some reward too, Mr. Aldrich?"
Listening to Dorothy's words, Mr. Aldrich also smiled and spoke.
"Hehe... Of course, please wait a moment."
Saying that, Mr. Aldrich stood up and walked into his room. After a while, he came out holding two books with hard covers.
"These two secret transmission were written by an old friend of the Shining Light Church. She has a unique understanding of the control of 'Light'. They are all yours now, little Sister. I hope you can study them well."
"This is..." Vanya took the secret transmission and examined them carefully, finding the author's name clearly written on the cover.
"Amanda. Petit"
'Amanda... Saint Amanda? Saint Amanda, one of the seven living saints of Holy Mountain?! This is a work by Saint Amanda, and this old gentleman is Saint Amanda's friend? Who exactly is he...'
She silently raised her head, and Vanya slowly spoke.
"This Mr., may I ask who Captain are..."
"Just an old man, nothing important. Thank you for coming to help me deal with that fellow today, little Sister," Mr. Aldrich replied slowly, and Vanya began to automatically interpret his words.
'Helping him deal with that fellow... Is he referring to the bone monster that might be an evil god's minion? He was the main force against that evil creature. If so, then could he also be a follower guided by Aka, just like Miss Meisihuos?
'One guided by Aka, and an old friend of Saint Amanda, one of the seven great saints?! This...'
For a moment, Vanya stood there with her mouth open, dumbfounded, not knowing what to say. At this moment, she deeply realized that the influence of Aka's followers in the mortal world might exceed her imagination.
