Mystery: A Spark

At this time, some believers of the Earth Mother Goddess usually come here to pray for spiritual comfort.

Although the Church of the Earth Mother Goddess was suppressed in the Kingdom of Rune and was not allowed to form an army of extraordinary beings.

But after all, it is a righteous church, and worshipping the Earth Mother Goddess is not something that will be viewed differently in Rune.

However, what's strange is that the Harvest Church, which usually has a few believers visiting, is closed at this moment, and we don't know what happened.

Upon seeing this, Arthur frowned; he sensed something was amiss.

He pushed open the door and entered the Harvest Church, only to find that Bishop Utravsky was the only one inside.

"Sir Bishop, why are there no believers attending services today, which is Sunday?" Arthur asked, somewhat puzzled.

Could it be that the bishop mismanaged the business and drove everyone away?

“I informed them that the church is temporarily closed for this period of time,” Bishop Utravsky’s voice came from the seat in front.

"Bishop, what's going on?" Arthur sensed something was wrong and quickly stepped forward to ask.

“It’s because of the Aurora Society,” Bishop Utravsky said, standing up.

"The Aurora Gathering? Is it because of Megaius?" Arthur suddenly realized.

“Yes,” Bishop Utravsky replied calmly.

"No wonder they were quiet in Tingen; they all came here."

"I'm sorry, Bishop, I didn't expect them to be so crazy. Are you alright?" Arthur carefully examined the bishop and asked apologetically.

"Don't worry about it. I had already anticipated this situation before I went to Tingen."

“If I had been afraid, I wouldn’t have gone with you on that trip,” Bishop Utravsky said gently.

"Did they come directly to the church to launch the attack?" Arthur asked, somewhat surprised.

He looked around but found no changes to the church; it didn't seem to have been through a battle.

"No, since I guessed they would come looking for me, I naturally made arrangements in advance."

"The day you announced your plan to go to Tingen, I requested support from the church headquarters."

"After bringing Megoos back, the powerful experts sent by headquarters arrived as well."

"After that, I started using myself as bait to try to lure them out, and two days ago, those lunatics finally couldn't hold back anymore."

I seized this opportunity, and together with the powerful church members hidden in the shadows, we crushed these madmen.

Bishop Utravsky spoke in a flat tone, as if it were as simple as going fishing for two fish.

Although he had sworn not to accept help from headquarters until he had achieved success in missionary work.

Just like his psychological problems, he has always insisted on finding his own ways to deal with them.

But having been a pirate before, he wasn't so rigid; he could certainly be flexible.

Moreover, this matter concerns the favored ones of the Mother Goddess, and it is not just a matter for him alone.

For any church, the matter of God's chosen ones is a major issue that must be taken seriously.

Moreover, this matter involves the evil god, the true creator, so we need to be even more cautious.

Although the Earth Church does not specifically oppose the true Creator, combating cults is an inescapable responsibility for any righteous church.

Good heavens, I never thought you, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, would be such a sly old fox... Arthur thought to himself.

As expected, the warrior Lilith chose must have extraordinary abilities; he couldn't possibly be a simple-minded fool.

It seems I need to be more cautious in the future. Even someone as upright and conservative as the bishop is starting to use tricks. This world is just too dangerous... Arthur thought to himself.

His smooth sailing in the Tingen affair has made him a little complacent lately.

But the Aurora Society's attack, and Bishop Utravsky's well-prepared counterattack, immediately brought Arthur to his senses.

He realized that he didn't have the luxury of taking risks yet, and that only by becoming more cautious could he better cope with any unforeseen events.

After hearing Bishop Utravsky's response, Arthur suddenly thought of a question.

He asked:

"So, the Aurora Society's forces in Backlund have been completely wiped out?"

"Although I'd love to tell you yes, unfortunately, even with our best efforts to stop them, one shepherd still managed to escape," Bishop Utravsky shook his head and replied with some regret.

"The shepherd's methods are unpredictable, and he is indeed not easy to deal with."

Arthur nodded, then asked:

"So that means Megoss was taken back to Fenneport?"

“Yes, she will be living under supervision from now on,” Bishop Utravsky replied.

Given Megos's current situation, it's practically impossible for her to return to her previous ordinary life. Being able to keep her life is already a good outcome.

......

Nighttime, 13 Townsend Street.

This is a two-story mansion located on the outskirts of Queens. Not far from this mansion is Viscount Grynt House.

This is Arthur's home in Backlund.

After returning home, Arthur first did a simple cleaning to remove the dust that had accumulated during his month-long absence.

Then, after cooking some simple food for dinner, he went to his study.

Arthur took out a piece of paper and a fountain pen, filled it with ink, and began to write.

Arthur hadn't noticed anything when Arthas was always by his side.

Now, just one day after the puppy left, he suddenly realized a problem.

That is, his method of summoning Arthas is somewhat troublesome.

If Arthur wants to summon Arthas, he needs to perform a ritual and recite a summoning incantation, just like Klein summoned the messenger in the original story.

Only in this way can we successfully summon Miss Renette Tinicol.

Arthur had already thought of the spell for the puppy; it was a standard three-part spell:

Strange creatures that roam the upper realm.

A spiritual creation from the earth.

A messenger exclusively belonging to Anduin Wrynn.

He used Anduin's name instead of his own in the incantation to be on the safe side and avoid revealing his real name.

Just like when Klein set up the spell to summon the messenger, he used Gehrman Sparrow instead of Klein Moretti.

The phrase "a spiritual creation from Mother Earth" was originally just an attempt by Arthur to confirm Arthas's origins.

The attempt was successful, and the three incantations were pointed precisely at Arthas.

However, this summoning method, which required both rituals and incantations, still caused Arthur considerable trouble.

So he wanted to do what Mr. Azik did and fix the way the puppy was summoned to a specific object.

However, although Arthur had several books on occultism given to him by Edwina, the contents of these books mainly focused on esoteric arts.

Therefore, Arthur is not actually very proficient in ritual magic.

Therefore, he wanted to write to Lieutenant General Edwina of the Iceberg to ask about the ritual knowledge of creating messenger summoning items.

The letter was quickly written, and Arthur performed the ritual to summon Edwina's messenger.

A moment later, an owl with a semi-illusory body appeared in front of Arthur.

This is the messenger of Lieutenant General Edwina.

When Arthur first saw this owl, he was somewhat amazed, thinking that this messenger, being both a dog and a bird, was like running a zoo.

It just so happens that I'm a warlock, this is a perfect match.

However, compared to Arthas, this owl is somewhat lacking in intelligence and cannot speak.

Of course, they are more than capable of handling the work of a messenger.

Arthur folded the letter he had written and handed it to the owl that was waiting in front of him.

The cuckoo bird caught the letter in its sharp beak and then flew into the spirit world and disappeared.

It's worth mentioning that in the original story, the messenger girl, Renette Tinicol, foresaw that a special gold coin would bring her a turning point.

Therefore, when she signed the contract with Klein, she agreed that she would receive one gold coin for each letter delivered.

As for Arthas, that little guy was greedy and always ate some delicious snacks when he delivered messages.

In comparison, this owl is much better.

They have no requirements when delivering letters, making them a true conscience of the messenger world.

Chapter 105 Frank's Letter

Just as Arthur was thinking about the messenger, the puppy's figure appeared in front of him.

At this moment, Arthas looked both excited and somewhat apprehensive.

“That’s terrible, Arthur. Your friend Frank is absolutely horrible.”

The puppy didn't know what it had seen this time, and it was trembling with fear.

"What's wrong? Why are you so scared?" Arthur asked, picking up the puppy.

"Ugh... that guy Frank is terrifying. When I found him, he was actually talking to a fish... never mind, I can't bring myself to say it."

The puppy's facial features were all contorted together, making it look just like the "old man's cell phone on the subway" meme that Arthur had seen in his previous life.

"Ahem, if you can't say it, then don't. Did you get any hair-growth potion over there this time?" Arthur didn't want to delve into what Frank was doing to the fish, so he changed the subject.

"Got it! That guy was pretty scary, but the medicine he gave was really useful." Arthas spat out a small jar and handed it to Arthur.

"He said this medicine can promote hair growth when applied to the body, which is very convenient. This way, I can go back to how I used to be," the puppy said excitedly.

After saying that, it seemed to remember something else and spat out a small bag and a letter.

"Oh, right, Frank also asked me to give you this letter and this bag."
