Mystery: Becoming a Creator Through the Doorway

Chapter 60 Thinking from the Pope's Position

However, for other church members, this matter might be a bit difficult to handle.

I may not know that this person is a chosen one of the goddess, but I certainly know that the handwriting in his file, and the signature below, is the same as that of the person who signed it, and it was written by Archbishop St. Anthony himself.

Just as Saint Anthony picked up his pen to polish Anruowang's work and write a new file, Anruowang began to peruse the Church of the Night's records about the sealed artifacts, slowly memorizing them all.

The documents were thicker and more numerous than he had imagined.

Each page is densely filled with information about the sealed artifact's name, rank, appearance description, main abilities, negative effects, storage location, precautions, and some events that have occurred because of that sealed artifact.

After all, it was the result of the Church of the Night's long-term, tireless accumulation of knowledge, so the sheer volume of this text was to be expected.

An Ruowang's gaze swept from one page to another.

He originally read very quickly, and he didn't just skim through the texts; instead, he "mechanized" himself to accurately input them.

In theory, he could simply scan all the records into his mind at once, and then slowly sift through them in his mind like searching a database.

But after thinking about it, An Ruowang slowed down.

Because that doesn't fit the persona.

A qualified "magic master" would not act so recklessly and ruin the performance.

Seeing that he had finished writing, Aleister was still slowly reading through the complex records when Saint Anthony chuckled and interrupted him: "Need my help?"

An Ruowang stopped reading, looked up and thought for a moment.

Saint Anthony was, after all, an archbishop, and he must have known about the seals that the church possessed.

If he were to make recommendations, he would surely be able to find a suitable sealing artifact very quickly.

but----

An Ruowang thought about it and still refused.

He pointed to the thick stack of documents in front of him: "I think I'll pass."

Reading these records allows me to understand the immense contributions and efforts made by the extraordinary figures in the church, which is quite meaningful.

This is the truth.

Learning from history, we can know the rise and fall.

Reading these materials will help Anruowang understand the history of the church and the origins of the seals.

This helped him integrate into the system and the world, and helped him understand how extraordinary things work.

They are all true stories, and for An Ruowang, reading them was no different from reading novels; it was a way to relieve boredom.

Since Saint Anthony has already promised him the two sealed artifacts, and they can't run away from him, why should he be in such a hurry?

This is enough for him to live comfortably.

In addition, An Ruowang felt that these records themselves were also stories of the extraordinary people of the church, which could be considered, in a sense, the stories of the fallen martyrs.

Therefore, they can also be selectively used to compile a set of teaching materials for cultivating the ideology of the Church's extraordinary individuals, together with the holy book "The Night's Revelation," to shape the spirit of the Church's extraordinary individuals and cultivate qualified extraordinary individuals who meet the requirements and needs of the Church.

The term "qualified" here refers not only to ideological competence but also to competence in handling extraordinary events.

After thinking for a moment, An Ruowang decided to share this idea with Saint Anthony: "And, I suddenly have another new idea."

I have an idea! (Wearing glasses and raising his index finger)

"Oh? What are your thoughts?"

St. Anthony hadn't realized what Aleister was trying to say; he simply assumed it was some new request.

An Ruowang pointed to the thick stack of records in front of him and said, "Each page of these files tells a true story. The origin of the sealed artifact, the experiences of the previous user, the process of handling the out-of-control incident, etc."

I think they could actually be compiled into a set of teaching materials.

Saint Anthony's eyes flickered slightly, somewhat unexpectedly: "Textbook?"

"Yes." An Ruowang nodded. "The teaching materials can be used together with the holy book 'The Book of Revelation' to cultivate extraordinary individuals for the church."

He continued, "It not only teaches extraordinary individuals how to deal with extraordinary events and sealed artifacts, but also lets them know how their predecessors handled those dangerous situations and how they held fast to their faith in the goddess when facing the brink of losing control."

These stories themselves represent a transmission of spirit and thought. They let the night watchmen know why they became night watchmen and what kind of night watchmen they want to be.

Additionally, it's possible to conduct exams on this content for night watch personnel, using exam scores as a new quantifiable indicator and another method for internal promotion besides merit.

Night watchman: Do I have to take an exam too?

An Ruowang: Yes.

Oh dear, how could Aleister be so wicked!

The night watchman actually has to thank him, otherwise he would have to accumulate enough merit points to be promoted.

After all, one shouldn't accept rewards without merit.

Similarly, by doing something for the Church of the Night, An Ruowang could feel more at ease choosing the two items from the path of the sleepless and the audience.

Moreover, these records about the sealed objects are themselves "records".

An Ruowang felt that by selecting, summarizing, and compiling these records and writing books, he was also playing the role of a "recorder".

Wasn't the Analects itself compiled by Confucius's disciples and their disciples?

Parts of the New Testament were also written by Jesus' disciples and early Christian leaders.

If John Ruowang had finished writing it, it wouldn't have been unreasonable to call the book "The Gospel of John."

No, An Ruowang was, after all, operating under the pseudonym "Aleister." If he didn't specifically request it, it would be difficult for him to use that name.

Saint Anthony remained silent in response to his idea.

This is a good thing, just like how political education, in addition to teaching students some knowledge, also cultivates people's patriotism and national identity.

Although politics, a subject belonging to the nobility, was not within the scope of teaching in church schools and grammar schools, education in loyalty to the monarch and patriotism still existed.

The church also needs something like this—the premise for discussing whether the Night Watch is strong or not is whether their thoughts and beliefs are correct.

Aleister's idea not only facilitated the church's training of its own orthodox Night Watchmen, but also enabled the systematic training of prospective Night Watchmen and advisors proposed by Aleister.

After going around and around, we somehow ended up back where we started.

Is this also the will of the goddess, and one of the reasons why Aleister is a chosen one?

Aleister is now thinking from the Pope's perspective.

Saint Anthony raised his head, and a hint of emotion and agreement appeared in his gaze as he looked at An Ruowang.

He praised, "Your idea is excellent; the goddess would probably agree."

He paused, then continued, "Child, you may know that every official member of the Night Watch must go through a ritual—that is, independently completing a task. This is a ritual to gain the recognition of the other Night Watch members."

After all, the Night Watchers are at the forefront of the fight against supernatural dangers, and they certainly don't want their teammates to be children who need constant care.

He looked at An Ruowang, a gentle smile in his eyes: "If the goddess agrees and you fulfill your wishes, I think every night watchman and every member of the church will recognize you as a true chosen one of the goddess."
