Ring of Fate

Chapter 1055 Helpless Show-off (Seeking monthly ticket at the end of the month)

late at night.

Neither Anthony's intelligence channels, nor Franca's gang informants, nor Janna's neighbors were able to provide feedback on "illness education".

Franka sat down in front of the mechanical typewriter, turned on the radio transceiver, and prepared to ask "007" to see if the "Eternal Sun" Church had any valuable information.

"Ding, group message notification: 'Hidden Blade', who did good deeds again today, has joined the group chat!" Franka announced her arrival in the Telegram group.

Before she could send the second sentence, she saw a telegram coming in with the address "007":
"Hidden Blade, you were promoted to Sequence 4 instead of Sequence 3, right?"

The other telegrams that were supposed to respond to Franca came to an abrupt end.

Franca was stunned at first, then she understood:

Wow, I didn’t want to show off about this matter in the first place, but you helped me to do it?
She felt that she should show three parts of helplessness, three parts of pain, and three parts of confusion, plus one part of inevitable secret joy, so she carefully answered:
"Ah... yes."

After a brief, indescribable silence, one telegram after another was spit out with a click-click sound under the queue control of the small analytical machine.

The mechanical typewriter felt overwhelmed and smoking:

"real or fake?"

"'Hidden Blade', this joke is not funny, it's too hurtful!"

"I remember that you, Hidden Blade, mentioned that you were a Sequence 5 Witch of Pain just a month ago. How come you're already a Sequence 3 in just one month? Even a rocket can't go that fast!"

"Have you been blessed by the god of good luck recently?"

"A Sequence 3 witch, I can't imagine how beautiful and charming she is..."

"Really? Is there a secret to getting promoted? Just name a price, and maybe we can come up with the down payment if we chip in."

"Hidden Blade, have you encountered any problems? Do you need any help? With my sequence, I may not be able to participate in the battle, but I can help you scold those people!"

"..."

"'007', how did you know that?"

After all kinds of emotions and feelings were expressed, someone finally brought the topic back on track.

"007" replied:
"'Hidden Blade' is already the patron saint of a church and has his own honorific name."

As expected, the changes at St. Franca Church were noticed by the "Eternal Sun" Church, and "007" already knew that I was "Red Boots" Franca Roland... Franca's guess was confirmed.

"Patron saint...your honorable name...I just can't connect these two nouns with the 'hidden blade' that means 'life is short, why not give it a try'." The Moon King was the first to sigh.

"Yes." The Wind sent a telegram, "It's so magical, so magical, more magical than any other fantasy novel!"

"Please show some respect to the great Hidden Blade!"

"Master Hidden Blade, is it possible for you to accept me as your apprentice?"

"You want to be a 'witch' too? If I remember correctly, you can switch."

"I find it hard to accept that the strongest person in the research institute is actually the stupid Hidden Blade..."

"No, if we say that, wouldn't we be even more stupid and foolish?"

"..."

Looking at these telegrams, Franca couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth.

I have to say, it feels really good to pretend like this!

Moreover, those humorous expressions gave her a sense of being still connected to the masses and still down to earth.

“Hey, hey, hey.” She typed quickly. “You don’t really think I’m stupid, do you? I used to be approachable, just to get along with you guys.”

Then she added modestly:

"Ms. Hela should also be at Sequence 3, a little earlier than me, or a little later.

"I'm not sure if it's the president or not."

“You are really Sequence 3… Is there anything you can tell us?” The Wind and others asked one after another.

Franka went into more depth than before:
"I was able to advance to Sequence 4, digest Sequence 4 potions, and advance to Sequence 3. Because of my special characteristics as a time traveler, I was able to take shortcuts. As a result, I became a Saint with a venerable title within a month."

She didn't tell anyone that she had completely digested her Sequence 3 potion. After all, there were quite a few members in the telegram group, and most of them she had never met in the real world. Although she was willing to trust them, she didn't dare to gamble on their environment. The key information about her own sequence strength had to be kept secret.

Moreover, if someone asked what the name of the Sequence 3 witch was, Franka didn't want to hide it. Because after "007" pointed out that she was already the patron saint of a certain church, her honorific name could not be hidden from those who were interested. In this way, some members of the telegram group might make certain associations between the on-the-spot digestion of the sequence potion and the name "the immortal witch".

"One month..."

“It really only took a month…”

"..."

Now, "Moon King", "Wind Voice" and others seemed to have lost the mood to joke.

"So what kind of witch are you now?" asked "Little Page" a member of the Telegram group after a while.

I'll tell you! Franca immediately replied:

"The immortal witch."

“Immortal age…eternal youth?” Peppa Pig seemed a little envious.

The Moon King asked:

"Can it extend your life?"

"Theoretically, living another two thousand years shouldn't be a problem." Franca tried hard to control her pride.

“I’m so envious that I’m crying…” The group members responded with similar words.

Each and every one of them is genuinely emotional.

Who doesn’t want to live forever?

As for the negative effects of the potion, there are no ordinary people in this group!

Franca thought for a moment, then started typing some words:

“If anyone in the Trier region has difficulties and needs help, they can recite my name.

"For those who are not in the Trier region, I can't do anything. I can't hear them, and I can't respond.

"My name is:

"The one who never ages, the custodian of disease and plague, the witch who brings strife and disaster, the holy grail that carries joy and pain, the great Franka Roland."

Seeing this honorific name and the prefix "Great", the members of the Telegram group truly realized that the "Hidden Blade" has gained divinity, is half god and half man, and has a honorific name. He is the patron saint of a church and can respond to prayers and bestow power.

After a while, "Little Peppa" sighed:
"I feel like there's a sadly thick barrier between us..."

"Call me master and let me hear it?" Franca responded to these words very skillfully.

After sharing her own story and explaining that the "Holy Grail" is a reference to the concept of the Holy Grail card on the Tarot card, which symbolizes and carries the sacred object of joy and pain, she asked about "007":
"'007', do you have more information about 'Biopathic Teacher'?"

After collecting and analyzing information, their team believes that the "Society of the Final Destruction of All Things" and the "Cult of Disease" should believe in the same evil god, but the former mainly corrupts the middle and upper classes, while the latter targets the lower classes, publicizing the authority of the "God of Disease" and the horror of disease, and using intimidation to develop believers.

"007" typed neither fast nor slow, and the telegram came in line by line:

“The several cases of disease-related teachings that we discovered previously have been dealt with, and the corresponding gift givers have been eliminated, but their superiors have never been found.

"For those believers who only know the name of 'God of Disease', we have sufficient manpower now, and there are extraordinary people in the sect watching to see if anyone will contact them again and whether any abnormal events will occur.

"Other than this, there is no other information. The cultists in Trier have been very quiet in the past month or two, and have been hiding very deeply."

Very peaceful? This is very similar to the state before the hostel incident... Is something big going to happen in a year or two? Other great beings may not know what the "Great Mother" is going to do and how to do it, but they should have foreseen that something will happen. After all, we all have some guesses. So, they restrained the gifters in Trier and asked them to either move to other places or wait patiently and fish in troubled waters when the time comes? Franca made her own speculation based on the words of "007".

At the same time, she also heard another hint from "007":
Believers who only know the name of the "God of Sickness" can be saved.

Yes, those great beings preach using pseudonyms, not allowing believers to have a true understanding of themselves. This is not because they are kind, but if you truly understand them, you will inevitably be polluted. Some may be fine, just with alienated personalities and mental extremes, but most will even have their bodies collapse and become monsters that continue to spread pollution. It will be impossible to preach secretly and it will be easy to be discovered by official forces... Franca muttered silently.

One of the reasons why rituals are required to pray for gifts is to protect the corresponding humans through rituals. Moreover, after a stable but temporary channel is established, the corresponding beings can consciously restrain the spiritual, will and other pollution in the power of the gift, so that the recipient will not collapse on the spot.

Even saints like Franka and Lumian only knew about those great beings by nicknames, but compared to other Sequence 4 and Sequence 3 demigods, they also knew that these beings stood at the top of multiple paths.

In reality, among the great beings, the only one who does not preach using a pseudonym is the "Mother Tree of Desire".

The "Magician" lady mentioned that the "Mother Tree of Desire" is a small part of the long list of honorific names corresponding to existence. There are two reasons why chanting it will not directly cause pollution:
First, it is only a small section and incomplete. Second, the "Mother Tree of Desire" indirectly controls the one believed in by the "Rose School" and the Demon King in the abyss in the real world. Therefore, after mentioning this honorable name, in the absence of much understanding, and on the premise that the barrier still exists, the mystical phenomenon of "nearby response" will appear, and the danger will not be so great.

"What should I do..." Franka did not hide the distress of the venerable saint.

"007" quickly replied:

“A large number of official forces have been gathered in Trier, and those cultists will not surface again for the time being. Later, we will have enough manpower to check every person in a key position.

"That's the case in Trier, but in the marginal towns of the Trier region, where the church and government are weak, there may still be cultists active. You can look for them in those places."

Yes, in Trier's current situation, we definitely won't be able to find anyone, but we can go to the suburbs or the countryside to look for them... As expected, only official Beyonders have such vision and experience. We have to waste some time before we can think of it... Franka immediately replied to "007":
"genius!"
