But what Anten Meizi valued was not how good this superior suit was. She was only interested in the suit's magic "Concealment". This fifth-level magic could conceal the demonic aura on Ain.
Like Beth, as long as she doesn't expose her ears, tail or fur, she can walk on the street like an ordinary person.
"I never thought that one day I would be able to use a magic suit made by humans..." She smiled, and the smile gradually turned cold and cruel. "This way I can slaughter humans even faster."
After she finished saying this, she realized something. She turned her head and saw Ronya hiding behind Anten Meizi. She immediately grinned awkwardly: "I'm just kidding, I'm just kidding."
Of course she wasn't joking, but in front of the child to whom she had sworn allegiance, she naturally couldn't reveal her true inner thoughts. No matter how much hatred she had for humans, she had to hide it.
Beth did not tell Ain that Ronia knew how to read minds, so Ain had no psychological defense against her. She just ignored her outward apology, but the latter read her thoughts of apologizing and scolding herself in her heart, and her favorability towards Ain increased a lot immediately.
The secret of her ability to read minds was known only to Harman and was not exposed to anyone else. Therefore, she had seen too many people who appeared to be righteous on the surface but were actually insidious and cunning in their hearts.
Orcs like Ain have lived in the tribe for a long time and have been cared for. They have not been poisoned by the customs of human society. Their hearts are very pure and natural, and what they think in their hearts is usually reflected on their faces.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have suddenly openly concealed her hatred for humans after getting the advanced suit.
Beth used her storage space to help Ain put away all his supplies, and finally Ando Meiko put the slave collar back on Ain.
Of course, the slave contract had been torn up by her. If there was no trace of magic on the slave collar, Ando Meiko would repair it and put it on Ain just because she didn't want Melinda to discover some of her actions.
Ain naturally accepted the fact that Ando Meiko had no intention of harming her. After they tidied themselves up again, the four of them went out together to have lunch downstairs in the hotel.
This hotel is a high-end hotel built by the Tianshang Guild. The guests who come here to stay are either rich and powerful people or high-level adventurers who can afford the money.
Therefore, there are actually not many customers here. Although the entire cafeteria is not empty, the guests or people who come to eat less frequently only occupy less than half of the space. Ando Meiko and the other three were able to sit directly at an empty table.
After eating and drinking, the four of them discussed their next move.
Ain is not as smart and insightful as Beth in studying, but her talent in fighting is even better than Beth, so the path she chooses is different from Beth's.
Beth is a magician with five attributes: water, fire, earth, wind, and dark, while Ain only has wind and earth magic, and she follows the path of a magic warrior.
Therefore, when choosing a superior suit, Meiko Ando chose an assassin-type suit with "stealth" magic, and the weapons of this superior suit even have claws that can be integrated with the gauntlets.
Although they chose to work in a different direction, Ain could successfully launch sneak attacks on caravans repeatedly. Her fighting ability was not bad, at least not inferior to Beth.
With such a powerful helper, Ando Meiko will not need to be distracted by protecting Beth and Ronia in future battles, which will allow her to better exert her powerful charging ability.
After two hours of discussion, various plans were proposed and rejected, and Meiko Ando finally came up with a more reliable plan.
Now they still have an afternoon to use, so they took this opportunity to split into two groups to inquire about the specific information of the temple, and then gather together in the evening to exchange information.
When Ando Meiko accompanied Melinda to the temple, she gave each of the three people three magic headphones that could communicate over long distances. During this period, they left the hotel provided by Melinda and went to a designated place to hide and wait.
If Ando Meiko could return safely, there would naturally be no problem, but if Ando Meiko conveyed the news of trouble, she would escape at the first opportunity, and the three of them would leave the Holy City together.
Beth and Ain were worried about this and always wanted to pick up Ando Meiko after settling Ronia. She also believed that she had many means and if she encountered an incident that she could not escape, it would be useless even if there were two people to pick her up.
What's more, until now they have not seen the Church's true strongest legion, the angels. Instead of staying here to provide support, it would be safer to leave as soon as possible.
The three of them couldn't persuade Ando Meiko and had to agree, saying that they would follow her arrangements.
After the discussion, Beth and Ain formed a group, and Ando Meiko and Ronia formed a group. The four of them set out from the hotel and split into two groups to inquire about the news of the temple.
Volume 7: A Strange Journey to Another World: Chapter 125: The Temple
Both teams have their own plans and considerations. Meiko Anten and Ronia pretend to be civilians from other cities who want to join the Tenshin Cult.
Because of her translation magic, no matter what she said, people would hear her country's native language. Therefore, believers passing by naturally believed her words and stopped to answer almost all of Anten Meiko's questions in a very kind and enthusiastic manner.
Even when some related secrets were involved, the believers did not doubt or blame them, but told them seriously that these were confidential and we didn't know anything.
But in fact, Meiko Anten found out a lot of things because she had the little princess Ronia by her side.
When an ordinary person is suddenly brought up on a topic, their first reaction is to think about everything they know and then consider why the other party suddenly brought it up.
When An Teng Meizi asked, they thought that it was equivalent to revealing everything they knew to Ronia, and they could not keep the secret at all.
On the other hand, Ain and Beth did not have the means of the other two. They behaved normally and approached some aunties who were shouting and selling various items. While buying things, they hinted at the aunties and tricked them into revealing a lot of information.
Night soon fell, and they returned to the hotel at the agreed time. They sat in the corner where there was no one around, waiting for the dishes they ordered while carefully exchanging the information they had obtained.
Meiko Anten got a lot of information about the interior of the temple, while Beth got information about the Holy City. Although it was not as precious as theirs, it was also quite valuable.
The information they obtained was that there was an underground river in this holy city. This river passed under the temple and led directly to the moat outside the city. At critical moments, they could leave through this secret passage.
As for the location of the secret passage, An Teng Meizi only needs to conduct a full-scale search using the Moyu radar, and it should be possible to find it.
The second piece of information is the midday prayer, because there is a special tree in the Holy City that looks like a human. The bishop said that it is the incarnation of God, so every noon at 10:00 noon he would take the outer believers there to pray for an hour.
During this period of time, the defense inside the entire temple can be said to be relatively empty. Of course, as long as the angels are there, it doesn’t really matter whether those peripheral members are there or not.
After resting for a night, An Teng Yazi left the hotel alone early the next morning to meet Melinda who came to pick her up.
The two of them left while chatting, and at this time the three people who were already prepared walked out of the hotel at the same time. After walking for a distance on the avenue, they made a circle and entered one of the dark alleys.
"I didn't expect you to come see me the next day. I thought it would take at least several days."
"It will indeed take several days, but the Cardinal heard about your deeds and said he wanted to meet you first. He also needs to confirm your safety for the Pope."
"I see." An Teng Meizi nodded and then continued, "Then what should I pay attention to? It wouldn't be good if others had a bad first impression of me."
"There's nothing to be careful about... I guess. You're not a member of the Celestial God Church, so the Cardinal won't constrain you in the same way as a member of the Church. You just need to be careful not to be too aggressive with your words."
"Don't worry, I think I'm pretty easy to talk to."
The two chatted casually about random things and soon crossed the main road and came to the front of the temple. Two guards wearing white armor and holding long axes held the long axes across in front of the two of them, blocking the door in front of them.
This white armor has red stripes about three centimeters wide all over the body, and finally a strange symbol is outlined on the chest, which is full of religious symbolism.
"Who are you? The temple is not open now, you are not allowed to enter."
"The Cardinal sent us here, and this is his token." Melinda reached out and took out something similar to a token from her bosom.
The guard took a look and took out a token as well. When they put the two together, they sensed the magic power hidden in each other and both of them lit up red.
"Identity confirmed, let you pass." The two long-handled axes were taken away at the same time, and the two guards stood up again like door gods. They looked straight ahead without even looking at them.
They are different from the guards of other countries. Their eyes are full of determination. They stick to their posts without even a slack move or intention.
This once again refreshed Ando Meiko's understanding of this country.
Melinda walked in front to lead the way, and Anten Meizi followed behind. They passed through the flower beds where many believers were walking. They did not enter through the main gate, but through the back door.
"It's not open to the public yet, so even if we have the Cardinal's token, we can't enter through the main gate."
Meiko Anten nodded and remained silent. As a good young person in the technological age, she was different from the human race here who still had feudal ideas. As long as she could achieve her goal, she didn't mind going through the front door or the back door.
Along the way, the believers were doing their own things, some were watering flowers, some were trimming the garden, and some were walking on the road, but no matter what they were doing, they were always focused on their own things. Even if An Teng Meizi and the other person passed by them, they ignored them.
Seeing these people acting like this, An Teng Meizi couldn't help but feel uneasy. She quickly walked over to Melinda and said, "Melinda, are you also a follower of the Celestial God Cult?"
"Me? Of course I'm not. If I were, I wouldn't be able to get close to the Cardinal with my rights."
"That's good, that's good..." After hearing Melinda's words, Anten Meiko finally breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the person she had been with for several months was a normal person.
After entering the temple from the back door, Meiko Anten discovered that the structure inside was quite different from what she had expected. In her opinion, the interior of the temple should be relatively simple like what she saw in the movie.
But in fact, the internal structure here is not much different from that of the royal palace in Port City, especially the walls painted with a layer of gold, which makes people feel a bit more sacred.
After examining the internal structure for a while, Meiko Anten immediately activated the detection magic "Fishing Radar". She quickly recorded all the internal structures of the temple building within a one-kilometer diameter in her mind.
And every movement will make the map continue to expand and become more perfect.
Volume 7: A Fantastic Journey to Another World: Chapter 126: Chaos Statue
Melinda walked in front, and when Ando Meiko started the detection magic, her expression changed slightly, obviously she noticed the almost undetectable magic fluctuation.
But she didn't mention this specifically, and continued walking ahead calmly, but she admired it in her heart.
"Indeed, upon arriving in an unfamiliar place, the first thing you do is observe and be alert. You are indeed a brave warrior with rich combat experience."
She had already known most of Ando Meiko's methods during the time they had been sending caravans to each other, so she also knew that she had a mysterious detection magic.
However, no matter how she investigated, it was useless because nothing had been done in the temple. The reason was naturally that someone did not want to desecrate this sacred place.
After passing through the magnificent hall, Melinda and Ando Meiko settled together in a small dark room in the corner. Ando Meiko was not unfamiliar with this thing.
She had seen many similar things in anime and movies. This was called a confessional or confession room, a place specially provided for believers to confess their daily sins that violated the doctrine.
Just as Ando Meizi was wondering why Melinda brought her here, a deep male voice came from the other side of the window: "Are you the adamantium-level adventurer, Ruby?"
Meiko Ando looked straight ahead, but in fact the situation on the opposite side had been completely exposed in her mind by her slacking radar.
There is also a small room across the window, but the place connected to this small room is on the other side of the wall, and a man is sitting in front of the window.
The man had blond hair and a handsome Western face. He wore a long scarlet robe, a white epaulette on his shoulders, and a small bowl-shaped melon hat on his head. On the top of the hat was a special silver symbol as decoration. The shape of this decoration was almost the same as the one Ando Meiko had seen when she came from the guards.
However, at this moment, the man had no expression on his face, his eyes looking straight ahead, his deep eyes seemed to be able to see through the window and directly see the two people opposite.
Moreover, there is an extremely special magic circle buried under the confessional. The magic power of this magic circle runs extremely slowly and weakly. Meiko Ando looked at it for a while but didn't know what its function was.
Ando Meiko acted frightened after hearing the voice, then nodded and said calmly, "Yes, I am Ruby."
"Where are you from?" Although his voice was low, it seemed to have some kind of magic that could touch people's hearts, making them feel guilty for lying and thus tell the true answer in their hearts.
There is indeed some trick to it. This trip is really not simple. I hope this is just a small test they gave me and it will be over after they finish talking about it.
"I'm from Linhai Town, Lans Country." Ando Meiko answered expressionlessly. No one could find any flaws on her face.
"What is your real purpose for coming here this time?"
here we go again……
A strange feeling rose in her heart again. She didn't show anything wrong, but she still glanced at Melinda beside her before answering, "I want to see His Holiness the Pope."
"Why do you want to see the Pope?"
"I want to make a deal with His Holiness the Pope."
"what do you want to trade?"
This way of asking questions is really annoying... Meiko Ando thought so in her heart, but this time she remained silent and did not answer the cardinal's question.
The entire confessional became deathly silent, and only the faint breathing sounds of three people could be heard. In the scanning of the slacking radar, the cardinal's expression did not change from beginning to end.
"What do you want to trade with His Holiness the Pope?"
The cardinal repeated his words, and this time, the throbbing in Ando Meiko's heart became even stronger, causing her to blurt out without hesitation: "I want to exchange the two stone ball decorations on the top of the temple."
After she finished speaking, her eyes widened slightly. She knew that the opponent must have used some magic or other tricks, but she didn't expect that with her own strength, she would be so easily tricked.
She knew that her concealment was futile, so in the subsequent questioning, she naturally answered the questions the first time. Of course, these were not questions that were too related to privacy.
He was also asking about the various situations along the way of the mutual caravan, probably wanting to verify what Melinda reported to him.
"Wait outside for a moment." The cardinal soon stood up and left, pacing away in the room on the other side, while Ando Meiko's detection magic continued to cover him.
"I didn't expect that the first level would be so difficult. I'm already sweating profusely." Ando Meiko was the first to speak, breaking the silence.
Melinda nodded and smiled, "This is the Cardinal's magic. It makes people want to answer their inner thoughts. Many believers have confessed their sins because of it. Of course, it only works in the confessional."
This sentence made Ando Meiko raise her eyebrows slightly. She didn't expect that Melinda would tell her directly without hiding anything. This ability that can only be used in the confessional should be the effect of the magic circle under her feet.
Melinda stood up and opened the door for Ando Meiko. The two of them walked out of the confessional, a somewhat dull space, and came to the main hall, where they found a bench and sat down casually.
Ando Meiko looked ahead. Behind the altar there was an exquisitely carved stone statue. The statue was an old man leaning on a cane. The old man was dressed simply and had a kind face. In this magnificent hall, he gave people a solemn and sacred feeling.
Melinda bowed to the old man's stone statue before explaining to Ando Meiko, "This is the deity of the Celestial Gods, the God of Creation, Chaos."
Meiko Ando imitated it, and then she remembered the creator god named Chaos. Isn't he the one in the fairy tale book who created all things in the world and the eight elemental gods?
But why is he portrayed as a kind old man? According to the fairy tale, Chaos should be portrayed as a playful child who can't stand loneliness.
Melinda continued her explanation, "He's quite different from the fairy tale image, isn't he? It's said that the Celestial Church carved him into an old man because the first Pope, who founded the Theocracy, dreamt of Chaos. According to him, Chaos in his dream looked like this."
"I see. I didn't expect that the Celestial God Religion and the Theocracy had such a miraculous founding process."
"How is it? What do you think of this statue? It's said that Chaos is very playful, which is why he's different from other gods. Even if you're not one of his followers, if you ask him for help with something that bothers you, he might even grant your wish just for fun."
Volume 7: A Strange Journey to Another World: Chapter 127: You Are More Devout Than a Christian
At this moment, the cardinal opened the door and walked into one of the rooms. The detection magic quickly extended over, but a shocking light completely dispersed the magic power of the detection magic.
The light did not stop and continued to extend upwards along Anten Yazi's magic, directly shattering Anten Yazi's detection magic.
How is this possible? My detection magic was actually broken? What on earth is in this room? Is this Pope really that powerful?
There were waves in her heart, but Meiko Anten was responding to what Melinda had just said on the surface.
"How is that possible? I'm an atheist." Ando Meiko smiled and replied, but then she looked at the statue with burning eyes, "But since you said so, I still plan to give it a try."
