Mystery: Becoming a Creator Through the Doorway

Chapter 74: Hunting Down Ince Zangwell?

In front of Saint Anthony, An Ruowang directly used his apprentice's lock-picking ability to open the golden chest—picking the lock and breaking the seal was also an application of the apprentice's "opening" ability.

With a very slight "click," the cabinet lid popped open a crack.

An Ruowang lifted the cabinet lid and saw the true form of the "Wise Glasses".

He quietly activated his spiritual vision and indeed saw the "gray mist" described in the document on the lens.

Unlike the gray fog above Tongyuan Fortress, this fog, though also grayish-white, is more like a gathering of dreams, reminiscent of white tofu pudding and pig brains.

If Anruowang remembers correctly, this is the appearance of the extraordinary characteristic of the Audience Path Sequence 5 "Dream Walker".

An Ruowang deactivated her spiritual vision, and the lenses returned to their ordinary appearance.

Saint Anthony spoke up at the opportune moment: "Child, you can keep this golden chest."

An Ruowang weighed the gold vault in her hand, blinked, and politely asked, "Is this alright?"

Although the gold pound is paper money, gold is also a hard currency in this occult world, after all, it has many uses and symbols in occultism.

This weight of gold is quite valuable.

The Kingdom of Rune wasn't worried about counterfeiters disrupting the financial system, since the banknotes bore the portraits of several emperors.

Leaving aside other people, William the Founder on the £10 note is a Sequence 1 "Hand of Order" from the "Arbitrator" pathway.

If you print an angel's image on counterfeit money, and the target is an arbitrator who has a direct ability to sense, lock onto, and track "chaos," you'll be in trouble in no time.

It can be said that those who have the ability to safely counterfeit currency have no need to, and those who need to counterfeit currency no longer have the ability.

"You'll need it to store the Spectacle of Wisdom from now on," Saint Anthony waved his hand. "It's nothing to the Church."

Upon hearing this, An Ruowang put away the gold chest and then bowed as usual, saying, "Praise be to the beautiful goddess."

Saint Anthony returned the greeting: "Praise be to the goddess."

After exchanging pleasantries, An Ruowang could finally move on to the part he had been eagerly anticipating.

He looked up, meeting Saint Anthony's gaze, and asked with some anticipation, "So what will my official duties be as an unofficial night watchman?"

An Ruowang couldn't wait to start her adventure.

He had learned that in the Kingdom of Rune, the principle of jurisdiction over extraordinary events was to first divide them according to faith, and if it involved believers of multiple churches and multiple gods, then the jurisdiction would be determined by the scope of the matter.

In the northwest region of Backlund, the core area of ​​this metropolis, the Queens and Jowood districts belong to the "Punishers," the West and North districts belong to the "Night Watchers," and the Hillston and Backlund Bridge districts are managed by the "Mechanical Hearts."

Therefore, he speculated that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, his mission this time would most likely be either in the West District or the North District.

The North District is where St. Samuel's Church is located, while the West District is where his family lives; they are basically fighting on home soil.

Saint Anthony looked into Aleister's bright and energetic eyes and couldn't help but smile.

However, he then politely declined An Ruowang's request: "I'm sorry, child, perhaps you need to wait a while longer."

"?"

Saint Anthony explained slowly, “My child, I know your zeal for the goddess and the church, and I know you can’t wait to try your hand at it. But…”

He then changed the subject: "But if any of these two sealed artifacts, or the two sealed artifacts you possess, were to malfunction, it would be a serious matter. I suggest you familiarize yourself with how to use and utilize them."

Once you're confident, the task can be assigned at any time.

An Ruowang was silent for a few seconds, then sighed softly, "You're right."

What else could he do? Refuse Saint Anthony's offer?

There's no need to strain the relationship so much just because it's only a few days' wait.

It seems that Saint Anthony was genuinely worried about him having an accident, that he might accidentally bump into something.

It's also possible that because he does look very young in the eyes of the Rune people, Saint Anthony subconsciously showed him the care of an elder.

The racial differences between Chinese and Europeans are indeed quite noticeable in terms of age.

However, to be fair, the sealed artifacts that An Ruowang possesses are indeed very powerful.

To the uninformed, he's the kind of person who usually doesn't cause problems, but if something goes wrong, it's absolutely fatal. Who would know he has a little world inside him?

An Ruowang even suspected that while he was actually carrying out his mission, a team of night watchmen might be secretly protecting him.

If circumstances allow, St. Anthony himself will even personally oversee the operation.

After all, if the goddess's chosen one suffers an accident on his first mission in his jurisdiction, that would be a real disaster, and Saint Anthony's achievements and reputation could be completely ruined.

From this perspective, he has actually been very kind.

And Saint Anthony was right; An Ruowang did need time to familiarize himself with and explore the two new sealed artifacts, and to figure out how they would work together.

Sharpening your axe won't delay your woodcutting work, which is true.

Saint Anthony nodded in satisfaction and offered his advice: "If you have no other plans this afternoon, perhaps you could accompany Elektra on her routine visit to the goddess's followers. It's time to let Backlund's social circles know about your new identity."

An Ruowang thought about it and decided it wasn't a bad idea, since she was free anyway: "I have no objection. However, I have one request."

Saint Anthony raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised, and gestured for him to speak.

An Ruowang spoke slowly, displaying the badge given to her by Ariana and borrowing its hidden power: "I hope I can become a member of the church's team hunting down Ince Zangwell."

Even though 008 is a characteristic of the audience's pathway sequence one "writer", An Ruowang is not afraid of being discovered if he mentions Ince Zangwell now.

On the one hand, the small world and the source castle give him the ability to resist occupation, just like Klein in the original 008 novels;

On the other hand, the goddess's blessing and Ariana's hidden authority are also exerting their influence.

Hunting down Ince Zangwell would be the perfect and reasonable excuse for An Ruowang to get involved in all the events related to Tingen.

Upon hearing this name, the air in the room seemed to freeze for a moment.

"Ince Zangwell—"

A hint of murderous intent flashed in Saint Anthony's eyes as he slowly spoke: "Is this Princess Ariana's will? Or the Goddess's will?"

Although Saint Anthony and Ariana were both archbishops and nominally of the same rank, this was only in name; moreover, she was indeed highly respected by Saint Anthony.

An Ruowang shook her head: "This is my intention."

Saint Anthony sighed softly: "Child, do you know what you're saying?"

An Ruowang smiled slightly: "I know, but I'm not alone, am I?"
