Chapter 548 See Through (4k+)

"Master's Wife, did I find the wrong place? How about... I check again..."

Seeing Millie Tang standing there for a long time with three pieces of paper in her hands without saying anything, Shani felt a little weak and stammered to make excuses behind him.

"You did a great job. Um... take these three pieces of paper and tell Roselis what I just said. Make sure to pick out all the problematic parts tonight. Go ahead."

After hearing what his master's wife said, Shani quickly put all the data on the table into his arms and went out, leaving Millie Tang alone in the room.

The name of the deity suddenly changed?

Millie Tang walked to the window with a cup of tea and took a deep breath of the sea breeze. Mr. Shani might not know what this meant, but Millie Tang knew. She had read most of the books in the Michigan University library, including the family's witch notes.

The name of a god is something that has been bound to his will and power since his birth. It is difficult for mortals to know it, and the consequences of knowing it are disastrous.

The name of the god suddenly changed, which was unimaginable in Millie Tang's eyes.

If the name has changed, does that mean that the will of the deity has also changed? If the will of the deity has changed, is he still the same deity as before?

During the time she lived with Xiaohu, Millie Tang had a deeper understanding of the will of the gods. Although Xiaohu was the name given to Xiaohu by Liu Yonglu, it did not mean that Xiaohu's will had changed.

In fact, the child is still the same as before. No one is dying around Xiaohu anymore, not because he has changed his personality, but because Liu Yonglu has changed the environment around him.

The result of the deduction suddenly changed, and Milly Tang felt that things might not be as simple as she had thought at first.

After a night's rest, Millie Tang found Calliope early in the morning:

"Miss Calliope, I would like to meet with Magistrate Perseus. There are some things I need to clarify regarding the task of calculating the names of the gods."

Seeing Militang's serious expression, Calliope did not dare to delay and hurried out to find Perseus. Half an hour later, she came back alone:
"Miss Millie Tang, I'm sorry, Lord Perseus is a little busy right now. He was called away by the Pope of the Church of Wisdom."

Went to meet the Wisdom God Cult! ?

Millitang immediately guessed that the Pope must have also noticed the change in the name of the god, and he also wanted to find Perseus to ask for clarification.

“Lord Perseus said that if Miss Millitang is anxious I can find another magistrate to negotiate with you, such as Lord Christos or Lord Andreas.

You can also tell me about your troubles first. I also have a deep understanding of this task.

Since I have to clean the temple regularly, I can say that I have a better understanding than the ordinary judges. "

Calliope volunteered not because of her close personal relationship with Milito, but because Perseus had indeed arranged it that way.

"Well... it's the same if I ask you, but when Perseus makes the official judgement, it would be best to have him come and confirm it with me.

Miss Calliope, please tell me, what is the answer to the final calculation that we are working on now?"

"The answer to the calculation..."

Calliope felt puzzled. Lord Perseus had already explained the whole thing a few weeks ago when the Saint's fleet had just landed on the Hidden Island, and she was standing next to them at the time.

As of today, most of the derivation work has been completed. Why did Miss Millie Tang suddenly ask this again?
"The answer to the calculation is, of course, the name of the deity."

"Which god?"

"The Source of No Source, also known as the Holy Mother outside the Hidden Island."

Calliope's answer was so decisive that Millydon's heart trembled slightly. It was the same as what Perseus said a few weeks ago.

Last night, Millie Tang instructed Marquette to talk to the patrolling guard, and the other party gave the same answer, calculating the name of the Virgin Mary.

Calliope, Perseus, and the others on the island all said the same thing. Did they work together to deceive outsiders? Or were they themselves kept in the dark?
Or maybe... I was overthinking it, and the Virgin Mary's name really changed last night?

Millie Tang shook her head. She had seen the Virgin Mary's preachers on earth. It should be impossible for the Virgin Mary to have her will suddenly rewritten.

"Miss Millie Tang...is there something wrong?"

Seeing Militang's abnormal expression, Calliope's heart tightened. Like Perseus, Calliope believed more in the heritage of Mu Continent in the hands of the Holy Maidens than in the steam machinery of the Church of Wisdom.

The results are going to be deduced in the next two days. Could something unexpected have happened?
"Why derive the name of the Virgin Mary?"

Perseus had roughly explained the whole story before, but Milly Tang still wanted to confirm it again.

"Because of the Virgin Mary's will to restart, you know the situation outside the Hidden Island better than I do. The world outside the Lost Sea has fallen into the Virgin Mary's cycle.

Once the Virgin Mary fails in the fight for the stone slab, that will will bring down a natural disaster, and the Lost Sea will restart again.

As the power of the space rain weakens, the will of the Virgin Mary is likely to affect the Hidden Island in future cycles.

Calculating the name of the Virgin Mary is the fundamental solution to this problem. If you know the name of the deity, you will be able to banish him!"

It makes sense, Calliope's explanation is the same as Perseus', and it sounds fine.

But... Millie Tang looked down at the piles of derivation data on the table. Can the plan given by the Hidden World Island really deduce the name of the Virgin Mary?

Unlike the Pope, although Millitang is well-read, she is only a human being. She cannot understand the meaning of these obscure symbolic texts at all. All she can do is mechanically calculate according to the legacy left by Mu Continent.

"The space rain is gradually weakening. Sooner or later, the will of the Virgin Mary will infect the entire Lost Island. The solution is to deduce the name of the Virgin Mary.

Who proposed this series of hypotheses?

Millie Tang asked her own key question. The residents of the Hidden Island are not stupid. On the contrary, these people are very smart, and each of them is an outstanding mystic scholar. They are moving forward courageously and spending a lot of time and energy. Who gave them the confidence to do so?

“Ancestors, this is a warning given by our ancestors.

In fact, Lord Christos said that the task of calculating the names of the gods began secretly a long time ago.

However, the warnings given by the ancestors were still vague at that time, and only a small number of people participated.

Every few hundred years, our ancestors would repeat what I just said, in the form of graffiti and short sentences, each time clearer than the last.

In the last few hundred years, calculating the names of gods has become an open secret throughout the Hidden Island."

"Ancestors..."

Millie Tang thought of the whispers she had heard in the dreamland before, which were the voices of her ancestors.

Mystic scholars who have lived for tens of thousands of years, high-ranking priests of Mu Continent, are they necessarily telling the truth? Militang began to doubt:
"Miss Calliope, if it's convenient, can you let me meet the ancestors?"

"No!" Calliope refused harshly as if by reflex. After she finished speaking, she felt a little embarrassed and explained awkwardly:
“The ancestor’s identity is special, and he has long lost his normal human consciousness. Even the residents of the Hidden Island are usually not allowed to see the ancestor.

But Miss Millie Tang, I have been responsible for cleaning the temple. I can guarantee that what I just said was a sign left by our ancestors. I have seen the graffiti rubbings left by our ancestors before."

At this point, Millitan had nothing more to ask. She was afraid that asking too many questions would arouse Calliope's suspicion, so she left the rest of the information to Marquette.

"I see. I have great respect for your traditions, Miss Calliope."

"Then...regarding the calculation of the god's name..."

Calliope was worried that Milly Tang was suspicious and was going to quit the job again, so she asked quickly.

"Don't worry, we will continue. It's just that the speed of deduction is a little different from what I expected. It will be a few days later than the expected date."

Ricky, where the hell have you been?
At this time, Millie Tang was also a little hesitant. Thinking back, since she became a partner with him, none of the investigations into special incidents had been successful.

But whenever the situation becomes a mess, Ricky can always use strange methods to untangle the tangled ball of wool...

Millie Tang thought about it carefully. In fact, this guy didn't have a solution. His solution every time was to kick the ball of yarn into the trash can with a big foot.

Alas, the current situation is still lacking someone to make decisions.

"Millie Tang, I heard from Shani that there seems to be a problem with the calculation of the god's name?"

As soon as Millie Tang returned to the "Dog Riding Rabbit", she ran into Lin Brown and Marquette. When they heard that they had to go back to work, they immediately had a bad feeling.

"Well, the whole thing is a bit strange. I will arrange for the Saint's Faction to continue the deduction, and we will talk about it later."

Millitang would definitely not be willing to give up halfway. The agreement with Perseus is still there. No matter what the hidden story is, it would be too risky to interrupt it suddenly.

After finding Bill and explaining the details of the recalculation, Millie Tang found Lin Bei and Marquette again, and then called the genius Kougan brother and sister, and the people from Shi Wei Tian gathered together for a small meeting.

Militang first repeated the details that Calliope had told her, and then mentioned all the hypotheses that she had thought of last night:
“If the Virgin Mary suddenly changed her name, the original will of the gods would also be rewritten. I think this possibility is very small.

To avoid alerting the enemy, I did not mention this to Calliope just now, I only said that the date for deriving the answer will be postponed."

Millie Tang took a sip of her tea and waited for others to give her some advice.

"I...I agree, Miss Millie Tang."

The little genius brother glanced at his sister before answering, and his sister nodded to encourage him to continue:
"We have all seen the Virgin Mary's preachers on earth. They have gone through countless reincarnations. It is definitely unreasonable for them to suddenly change the will of the gods."

“Well, that leaves only one possibility. The name that the Hidden World Island calculated was not the name of the Virgin Mary, but some other existence. Whether it was a god or not… I can’t say for sure.

Marquette, do you think this is a trap set up by the residents of Hidden World Island, deliberately targeting us?"

Marquette smoked half a cigarette before slowly speaking:

"No, from my experience, those guards and Calliope are telling the truth.

Someone once described to me in vivid detail that his family members were still concerned about the results of their calculations before they died. In order to comfort these deceased compatriots, some islanders would carve the calculation process on their relatives' tombstones.

You can’t make a fake look so real.”

“I think so too, so the most important people now are the ancestors on the Hidden Island. They are the source of all problems.

Our ancestors not only deceived us, but also deceived everyone else on the Hidden Island."

Millie Tang took a deep breath and continued:
"So my opinion is that the Saint Maiden Faction should keep their troops on hold and continue to maintain the speed of deduction. Roselis, I'll leave this to you from now on."

"Don't worry, Miss Millie Tang."

"As for the rest of us, we need to come up with a plan. We can't put all our hopes on a deal with Perseus."

Marquette put out the cigarette in the ashtray:
“Millie Tang, let me add one more thing. In the past two days, I noticed a change in the guards’ rotation schedule.

In the past, they worked in two shifts. After patrolling Beigang a few times, the people in this shift would go back to rest. These days, I found that they have changed to three shifts.

After touring North Harbor, many people did not go home directly, but went to the southern part of the island together.”

"The south? The south... the temple!"

Millitang had previously taken a tour around the Hidden Island accompanied by Calliope. The most central location of the entire island was the temple, and there were very few guards patrolling other places.

"I guess it's also a temple. Do you think the ancestors mentioned by the islanders are also in the temple now?"

Marquette nodded.

"It's very likely. Calliope said that before we came, her job was to clean the temple. The ancestors always made a mess of the temple."

Millie Tang stood up from her chair and walked back and forth twice:
“The ancestors and the ancient books we want are in the temple. Be prepared, everyone.

In a few days, if anything goes wrong with the transaction, we will head straight for the temple, and at the same time let Bill and Mr. Peleus be prepared. If all else fails, we will sail the ship out of the North Port.

Then let them wait for an opportunity to meet us at the southern end or other places along the coastline."

Lin Brown made a few additional points based on Millie Tang's plan, and the meeting lasted until late at night.

"It's getting late, everyone go back and get some rest. There may be another big battle waiting for us in a few days."

Millie Tang walked out of the conference room with her brows pinched.

"It would be great if His Excellency Saint Baran was here. He is the best at disguise. Then..."

The little genius brother was also tired and confused, and spoke casually. He was kicked hard by Roselis before he finished speaking.

Recently, Shi Weitian and his friends have formed a special tacit understanding with each other, and they should avoid mentioning Ricky in front of Millie Tang!
Sure enough, after hearing what Haverson said, Millie Tang's face darkened and she walked back to the bedroom alone with her head down.

"Brother, you have such a brain, stop talking."

"Hey, I... I am... Hey! Anyway, I believe that Saint Barlan must still be alive. Maybe he will come back someday."

Haverson scratched his head. From an ordinary person's perspective, the possibility of survival for someone who had been missing in the Lost Sea for several weeks was almost zero.

But Haverson doesn't think so. The patron saint is blessed by the saint, and Saint Barlan is definitely not dead!
