Chapter 261: Chapter 0261: Book of Revelation (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
Translator: 549690339
For a magic item that must be ‘aimed’ at closely for a long time to take effect, even if its effects are horrifying, Rod had no worries.
But Su Lu obviously felt differently.
It seemed… with the arrival of the Dawn of the Gods and the constant revival of the Spirit Tide, the strength of the church began to become unfathomable.
“If an Archbishop can wield such magical items, what about the headquarters of the Church? What about the Federation?”
He sighed deeply.
Even though the Federation merely has a heritage of three hundred years, the accumulated strength is substantial.
It might not be comparable to the Old Continent, but it is enough to suppress the newly emerging Transcendents on the New Continent.
“The strength of the Church is indeed unfathomable, as is the Federation… The ‘saints’ who established the Federation, perhaps all are sleeping somewhere, waiting to awake… And the items they left behind may have long been put to use by the Federation.”
Rod’s expression turned serious, “I once heard my teacher mention that the Federation possesses an unknown level Marvel with serious latent risks. It has a very powerful ability for divination, but each use comes at a very high cost… Otherwise, organizations like the Ancient Snake Society and Black Death Society simply wouldn’t have had the chance to survive…”
Although The Ancient Snake Society and the Black Death Society are currently being hunted down severely, they are not yet at the stage where all costs must be spared.
Even if they planned the attack on Nia City, and even attacked Green Tree Castle!
“From this perspective… the cost of using that item must be truly terrifying, on par with the damages incurred in Nia City before?”
Su Lu’s heart tensed a bit, then relaxed.
I probably won’t reach the point of making such a costly determination.
“Our destination for this trip is Harris City!” Rod stated, “I received news that a large-scale exchange meeting on the mystery side will be held there. You should find what you seek there.”
“A large-scale mystery side exchange meeting…”
Su Lu smirked, “It’s hard to imagine that the local church and the Eleventh Bureau would allow this.”
“The situations in different parts of the Federation vary…” Rod gave a significant response.
Su Lu immediately thought of the enormous black market in Charles City, and the Shadow Council in Lore City that was covertly controlled by the Dougweir family!
The White Eagle Federation adopted the federal system at its inception, consisting of various city-states, autonomous regions, and colonies, leading to differences in customs and even laws across different regions.
The consequences being that each state has a different system, which might be difficult for outsiders to get used to.
“What’s more…. The Eleventh Bureau cannot stop it…. The Dawn of the Gods and the rise of the Transcendent tide…. are future trends in this world…. If they are smart, they should guide, divert, and borrow its power, rather than unconditionally block it.”
Rod added.
“Right!”
Expectation filled Su Lu’s eyes.
According to Rod, the range of this exchange meeting is vast, attracting the attention of Transcendents from almost the whole Federation, and there should be many good items on offer!
Meanwhile.
In some underground base of the Federation.
The current head of the Eleventh Bureau—Stephen Wellesley, passed through layers and layers of identification verification and heavily guarded barriers, and stepped out of the steam-powered elevator.
This is the bottom floor of the base, where even some of the members living above might not know of its existence!
“Welcome, Director!”
An old man wearing a white coat, full of silver hair and an academic temperament, was already waiting at the entrance.
Behind him were two meticulous officers from the Eleventh Bureau.
“Dr. Turing… by the X-level authorization of the Federation, I am ordered to use X—13!”
Stephen handed an authorization document to the old man.
“I understand… I just hope you really understand its side effects…”
Dr. Turing ruffled his messy hair, casually glanced at the many famous names on the authorization letter, signatures, and seals, and finally sighed helplessly, “Follow me, then.”
He took the lead, walking into a tunnel built of steel, “X… represents an unknown level. The Marvels at this level are very dangerous, extremely dangerous. For example, No.13 – ‘Revelation’. It has a strong power of foreseeing divination. But every time it’s activated, it will cause terrible disasters, which could affect the entire Federation…”
Looking at Stephen’s unwavering determined face, Dr. Turing continued to sigh, “No. 13 can be directly contacted, as long as you don’t initiate the question, it’s not dangerous at all… But be careful, your questions cannot directly concern gods, demons and other high-profile existences, and you can’t ask for answers to some paradoxes, otherwise, it would lead to even more terrible results… In fact, I believe the diviners the Federation keeps can already solve some of these issues.”
“If they could solve it, I wouldn’t have come,” Stephen said sternly. “The Federation’s number one astrologer, Lady Amelie Crawford, confirmed that she could not divine the whereabouts of the ‘Blasphemous Priest’ Moron, ‘Phantom Demon’ Black Kos, and others… The headquarters of the Black Death Society and the Ancient Snake Society are the same… And there are also some high-profile fugitives on the Federation’s wanted list, like the ‘Black Knight’! She suspects that he might possess an item that interferes with divinations.”
“The ‘Black Knight’?” Dr. Turing slowed, seeming to think this was just a small figure, not worth such a cost.
“He’s not simple, he not only committed a horrifying massacre at the demon house, but he’s also related to the ‘Dream of the Ancient God’ event. This is the only content that Amelie managed to divine.”
Stephen spoke unhurriedly.
The destruction of a city like this… was something even crazier than the attack of the Ancient Snake Society!
“Alright then…”
Dr. Turing reluctantly passed through validation and opened several safety doors.
What appeared in front of Stephen was a closed room with metallic walls reflecting one’s shadow, completely seamless, with not even a single a window apart from their own entrance.
In the center of the room stood a metal table, with an aged, yellow-covered book on it.
“This is X-13, ‘Revelation’! The book is just one form it chooses to display itself, we don’t know what its true core is…”
Dr. Turing sighed, stepping aside.
Stephen took a deep breath and solemnly stepped forward.
Rustle!
As if sensing his arrival, the pages of the book turned automatically, revealing blank parchments.
“The first question…”
Stephen opened the authorization document in his hand, asking clearly, “The location of the original Archbishop of Light, ‘Blasphemous Priest’ Moron Goebbels!”
As soon as his words fell, words started appearing on the pages of ‘Revelation’.
These were Hebrew words of silver, appearing very slowly, yet very firm.
After about ten seconds, an address appeared – ‘Harris City’!!
