Although preparing to traverse again, it wasnât going to be an impromptu trip undertaken whimsically.
At least, Su Lu first had to soothe Rod, and then report to Dunstan in Green Tree Castle.
Inner Circle.
âWhat? Youâre leaving again?â
Dunstan stared in surprise at Su Lu before him.
âIs there an issue?â
Su Lu furrowed his brows.
âNo! Itâs just that your frequency seems a bit too high⌠Although this may be the path of mastering the [Wandering Mage], you should also pay attention to your mental and psychological adjustment.â
Dunstan earnestly advised, âAside from this⌠The Federation has sent numerous requests to Green Tree Castle, all of them wanting you to undertake some missions.â
The [Wandering Mage] possesses the ability to traverse the Spirit World, freely moving between the Spirit World and the Dark Continent. Furthermore, heâs not as restricted like dimensional teleportation.
Su Lu had to admit that if he had such a person under his command, he would certainly exploit them to the fullest.
HoweverâŚ
He sneered and asked, âHow many of these missions come from the church?â
The Goddess Church must certainly view him as a critical target.
Thinking of this, Su Lu couldnât help but sigh,â A fifth level like meâŚhas already drawn much attention from the Goddess ChurchâŚThe path of the Transcendent is one from which there is no turning back from the beginningâŚand to combat their hostility, I must constantly level up.â
âHeheâŚâ
Dunstan remained silent, which was as good as acknowledging it.
He took out a smoking pipe, deeply inhaling, âIn factâŚthere is a solution. For instanceâŚbecoming the Federationâs reserve guardian. This is more like an honor advisory positionâŚâ
âI have no intention of considering this.â
Su Lu was well aware that if he were to join the Federation, the church wouldnât press him so hard, and the Federation wouldnât play accomplice.
But he didnât want to compromise.
Kneeling once makes the knees softâ itâs only a matter of time before the second and third times come.
Not to mention the churchâs ill-intentions towards him, even the psychological shadow and blow would probably impact him adversely during his promotion.
Luckily, he was a [Wandering Mage] who could readily up and leave; otherwise, the situation would be even worse.
âAlright⌠Iâll relay your refusal to the FederationâŚin a tactful manner.â
Dunstan sighed.
From his perspective, this departure might also be Su Luâs form of resistance.
Such impromptu actions might make some people uncomfortableâŚbut for some reason, he found himself feeling a bit envious.
âYouth is wonderful!â
That was all Dunstan could sigh.
âSo, Iâll take my leave now.â
Su Lu bowed slightly and his figure slowly vanished.
âŚ
White Eagle City, Bright Cathedral.
This is the headquarters of the Goddess Church. Since entering the Dawn of the Gods Era, it has gradually undergone some mysterious changes.
Not only has the sky seemingly become more radiant, and the marble columns more polished, but devout believers also fervently claimed that they have seen the illusory descent of angels.
âHe refused? I knew itâŚâ
Currently, in a simple office, an elderly man dressed in a robe slowly took the telegram and nodded.
Outside the office hung a nameplate, on which was written in Common Hebrew a line of charactersââTheology Department, Bishopâs Officeâ.
The Theology Department!
In the age of obscurity, this was a name that could stop a childâs night-crying, back then it used to be called the âGoddessâ Tribunalâ!
Those who held positions here were fervent followers of the goddess, they launched several witch hunts, burning a large number of âwitchesâ and âwarlocksâ alive at the stake.
And this elderly robed man, if placed in ancient times, would be the head of the Religious Tribunal!
â Alfred!
This is the current term for the head of the Theology Department.
In the dark world of the Federation, he had another nicknameâ Goddessâ Whip!
âArchbishopâŚI believe the individual might be a heretic, we must secretly arrest and verify his faith.â
The clergy member who brought the telegram expressed indignantly.
As Alfredâs assistant, he was well aware of everything about Su Lu.
The fact that one dares to refuse the sacred mission issued by the Church and affirmed by the Federation is a sin! It was enough to treat him as an enemy!
âItâs quite normalâŚTranscendents fear and curse us, yet they do not know, only the Goddess is truly merciful, she can protect all humans.â
Alfred made a prayer gesture, âIf we allow the Evil God to run rampant, or usher in a new God, it would push this world towards an unpredictable future.â
âSu Lu Pottery! Originally, considering the Pottery family, I expected him to run around and slow down his progressâŚBut he chose his own death. Apart from the goddess, no one else can save him.â
Alfred continued, âPut his name on the internal execution list. Have the âSanctionsâ department beneath you draft a planâŚSpirit World Traversal is not omnipotent.â
Although Spirit World Traversal was a more terrifying escape technique than dimensional teleportation, it was not without countermeasures.
The foundation of the Goddess Church would absolutely exceed Su Luâs imagination!
âThereâs no problem with the trap. Iâm just afraid he would try to escape from this worldâŚâ The clergy member standing nearby said under his breath.
âA person is always bound by their own emotions, and itâs hard for them to choose to leave their hometown, let alone the world, right?â
Alfred fingered over Su Luâs file,â His brother has disappeared? Or has he been hidden? From this angle, kinship, friendshipâŚthey can all become traps.â
His finger stopped on the name Sean, âThis Sean, is now a fourth level [Ghost Doctor]?â
When mentioning this profession, Alfredâs face was filled with disgust.
Like the [Wandering Mage], this was also a profession bestowed by the Evil God.
âYes, currently he is the captain of a large team under the Eleventh Bureau.â the clergy member bowed.
âWe do have a co-operation with the Eleventh Bureau. What if we get Sean to complete a certain task and then he encounters serious danger? Would Su Lu refuse such a rescue mission?â
Alfred smiled.
âI understand.â The clergy member nodded repeatedly and was about to leave.
âAlso, before the operation, donât forget to hold a ritual to interfere with the prophetic power in this aspect. I donât want any loopholes .â The voice of Alfred followed soon.
âŚ
âLife⌠is so helplessâŚâ
The Eleventh Bureau.
Stephen Wellesley held the telegram in his hand, pondered, and finally made a decision.
When itâs between a fourth-level subordinate and the Goddess Church, choosing doesnât require much hesitation.
âA fifth-level battle, huh? Neither party is from the Federation, so let it not be fought on Federation landâŚâ
He glanced over the map and quickly locked onto a certain coordinate.
That was a sea island where the suspected âGod of Doomâ relics were found!
