Lord of Mysteries: The Color of the Stars

Chapter 69 Julian? Mr. J!

"Greetings, Divine Messenger."

Julian made the sign of an inverted cross on his chest in accordance with the etiquette of the "Aurora Society," thus replacing the bow to Mr. Z.

"Very good, he is a handsome young man."

"No wonder the 'Dark Saint' favors you so much."

Mr. Z not only didn't mind Julian's slightly offensive behavior, but also showed him an appreciative expression.

Favor? The Dark Saint?

Upon hearing this, all the members of the Aurora Society, including Sirius Arepis, looked at Julian with utter disbelief.

The "Dark Saint" is one of the saints under the "True Creator," a true demigod, and one of the candidates with the most abundant divinity and the most likely to become an angel of the "True Creator," as proclaimed in the "Aurora Society's" scriptures.

The fact that a member who had just joined the "Aurora Society" could receive such treatment was extremely counterintuitive and certainly did not meet the expectations of any of the "Aurora Society" members present.

"Come with me."

After saying this, Mr. Z turned around and led Julian toward a door further inside the room.

Julian thought for a moment, then quickly followed.

As the door opened, a secret room appeared before Julian.

At the very top of the secret chamber was a cross, and on that cross hung an upside-down Cyclops.

The cyclops' body was pierced by rivets, and blood was gushing out, making it look as if it had committed an immense sin.

This was the first time Julian had ever seen a statue of the "True Creator" in this form, and he had to admit that it was quite different from the true state of the "True Creator".

Mr. Z walked to the statue and knelt down in reverence.

Julian immediately followed suit, and after the two had finished bowing, Mr. Z said, "Julian Albrecht is hereby commanded."

Is this an oracle from the "True Creator"?

Julian immediately realized what was happening. Although he was very curious, he maintained a humble attitude with his head bowed and raised his hands, saying, "Your subordinate is here."

Mr. Z nodded in satisfaction, then took out a cross from his person, which was decorated with the symbol of the "true creator" faith, held it in his right hand, and gently touched Julian's head with his left hand.

In mysticism, "right" represents the Creator and Heaven, while "left" represents the created and believers.

Therefore, such an action represents the direct transmission of divine oracle from heaven to the individual. In the "Aurora Assembly," only a few saints and 22 divine messengers are qualified to perform such a ritual.

"In the name of the origin of all things, the original Creator;

"In flesh and fire, Julian Albrecht was promoted to the position of Divine Messenger, with the title J."

"The Lord gives you the shepherd's staff to carry out His will. From this day forward, you will lead the Lord's flock, your gaze will be the Lord's judgment, and this will be your mission until you are embraced by the Lord and enjoy ultimate bliss."

"All who turn away from the Lord will decay, but all who dedicate themselves to the Lord will live forever."

"Praise be to my Lord!"

"Praise be to my Lord!"

Julian also spoke up, and then he respectfully accepted the cross and, with Mr. Z's help, put it around his neck.

"The alternate divine messenger—Mr. J?"

Although he appeared outwardly devout and solemn, Julian was inwardly complaining.

He originally thought that the "Aurora Society" would give him some special tasks, but he didn't expect to be given such an appointment right away.

Appointment is one thing, but what exactly is this "candidate divine messenger" thing?

It sounds like a divine messenger, but it's actually a step below a divine messenger. At least Julian, who has read the original "Lord of Mysteries" novel, couldn't quite understand what kind of position this was.

While he was still wondering, Mr. Z helped him up and said softly, "J—this will be your code name in the organization from now on."

According to the Dark Saint's interpretation of the oracle, you will eventually become the navigator of the Aurora Society, leading us to His sanctuary and saving us.

"Of course, I know you're curious about what a candidate divine messenger needs to do and what privileges they have, but don't worry, I'll explain it to you."

"I would like to hear the details."

Julian nodded slightly.

"A candidate divine messenger, as the name suggests, is someone chosen by the Lord to become a divine messenger in the future. However, your current strength level has not yet reached the minimum requirements to become a divine messenger, so you have become a candidate."

"But don't worry, because you are someone personally chosen by my Lord, so your promotion speed will be much faster than that of ordinary Aurora Society members." — Having said that, have you mastered the "playing method"?

"Yes."

Julian nodded, without denying it.

"Very good, you are indeed exceptionally intelligent."

Mr. Z said with satisfaction: "Although the candidate divine envoy does not have the authority to command a county or metropolitan area of ​​the Aurora Society members like the official divine envoy, he can still command a city under the guidance of the saint—except for capital areas such as Backlund and Constance and county capitals."

"In other words, as long as I don't come to Tingen City in person, all members of the Aurora Society in Tingen City must obey your orders—except in certain special circumstances."

"This power is not limited to Tingen City. You can gain jurisdiction over any city you go to, as long as you report to the Dark Saints beforehand and receive permission."

—Wow, that's a lot of power?

Julian was slightly surprised to hear this. He originally thought that the so-called "candidate divine messenger" was just a role that sat on the sidelines, but he did not expect that he would actually have real power.

Although he must obtain the approval of the "Dark Saint," Julian gains command of the "Aurora Society" in each city he visits.

Even in small to medium-sized cities, the convenience they offer far exceeds what most people imagine.

This means that although Julian is not a divine messenger, he is directly under the jurisdiction of the saint, just like a divine messenger, and belongs to the category of "directly managed cadres". As long as he does not directly offend the "Dark Saint", his privileges will not be diminished as he moves to other divine messenger management areas.

Especially the fact that he now has considerable control over the "Aurora Club" in Tingen gives Julian a sense of...

The sense of disconnect between "infiltrating the enemy and becoming their leader" and "being an undercover agent."

"Praise be to my Lord for His grace, I will certainly not fail in my mission."

Julian suppressed his strange feeling and paused before asking, "May I ask, divine messenger, what special circumstances did you refer to earlier?"

'

"It depends on the specific circumstances."

Mr. Z pondered for a moment: "For example, within the city of Tingen now, you can command all the members of the Aurora Society and control most of the intelligence, except for two people."

"Who is it?"

Julian pressed for an answer, but in reality, he already had a guess in his mind.

"Rannius and Sirius Arepis".

As Julian expected, Mr. Z indeed mentioned the names of the two people!
