Chapter 148 Operation Begins
Based on Mr. C's description, Raphael guessed that the so-called "stranger" who suddenly appeared beside him was probably a person "imagined" by the level 0 sealed artifact.
The "audience" approach has many advanced abilities that are terrible; they can either kill off a character or completely "imagine" a person.
That wasn't an illusion; there really was one more person in the world.
This is the most terrifying part.
For some time now, Mr. C has been organizing everyone to get to know each other, in order to distinguish which are the real teammates and which are just "imaginary" teammates.
However, this method is clearly not 100% effective in distinguishing between friend and foe—or rather, there is no foolproof method when faced with this level of sealed artifacts.
Mr. C continued, "In the previous two explorations, we have determined the approximate location of the sealed artifact and made new preparations based on our previous experience."
"I know this is dangerous, but the rewards for completing the mission are huge. You will have priority for promotion, you can choose a Level 2 sealed artifact from the organization, and you can even set your own conditions."
The group exchanged glances, noticing that Mr. C hadn't mentioned what would happen if they didn't go.
The obvious result is the end of life!
Raphael asked, "Mr. C, have you been to that site?"
"I've been there," Mr. C said. "I've been twice. As long as you're careful and alert, there shouldn't be too much danger. After all, it's been explored many times."
Raphael nodded: It seems that of the previous explorations, only one area remains to be explored. This time, we are very confident of seeing the aurora.
"Rose Bishop" Xavier then asked, "How do I bring out a level 0 sealed artifact?"
This level of sealed artifact—which hasn't been sealed yet—is also very unfriendly to the wearer.
Mr. C replied, "As soon as the sealed object is found, I will immediately hold a ceremony and pray to the Creator of all things to perform an initial sealing, so that we can bring it out relatively safely and hand it over to the saints."
"Of course, there will be some dangers in this process, so we must ensure that at least five people reach the area where the seal is located. If any danger is discovered, the seal must be abandoned immediately and other people will take over carrying the seal."
Raphael thought to himself: They're treating everyone like expendable resources. The range of a level 0 sealed artifact varies from hundreds of meters to tens of kilometers. How can you be safe just by throwing it down?
Thinking about this, he asked again, "Why choose to act on the day of the King's speech?"
Mr. C smiled and pointed his index finger at Raphael: "Your inspiration is very sharp."
He said, "Because of the Law of the Convergence of Extraordinary Characteristics," the Storm Church also noticed the relic.
"However, they did not receive any specific information, only the approximate location of the ruins."
According to the "Mysterious Saint," the commotion caused after obtaining the sealed artifact will attract those bastards from the Storm Church. A sealed artifact of this level is enough to get their Pope to personally intervene; we have no chance of winning.
"Our actions in Enmat were a way to draw the attention of the Storm Church in advance, as their focus is now on Enmat, believing that the ruins are located around Enmat."
"In addition, it is said that the King's speech also involved some other important events. I am not very clear about what those events are, but now all the attention of the Storm Church is on Backlund."
"When they in Backlund realize that the sealed artifact is under our control, they will immediately focus their attention on the port of Enmat. By the time they find the real ruins, we will have already left with ease."
Mr. C did not explain the "law of extraordinary characteristics" or the mutual attraction between adjacent paths, clearly indicating that he would only listen if he could understand it, and ignore it if he couldn't.
Raphael nodded slowly, and that made sense.
He then asked, "Is the only danger in the ruins the sudden appearance of a stranger?"
"No," Mr. C said, "but as long as you follow my instructions, other dangers can be avoided relatively easily."
Raphael nodded: "I have no further questions."
The others also said that there were no problems.
Mr. C then said, "Get some rest. We'll meet at 4:50 AM tomorrow, and the operation will officially begin at 5:00 AM!"
After saying that, he was the first to leave the room.
The others also left with solemn expressions. Raphael and Xavier exchanged a glance, then stayed behind to have a smoke together.
Xavier laughed and said, "I knew it. Being a divine messenger isn't so easy."
He took a drag of his cigarette and asked, "What are your thoughts?"
Xavier performed reasonably well in the first round of the Divine Messenger's assessment, and Mr. C promised him that as long as he completed this mission, he could become a Divine Messenger.
After learning the details of the mission, the main condition for becoming a divine messenger became: he could return alive.
"What ideas could we possibly have?" Raphael took a drag of his cigarette and said, "A saint will definitely be there tomorrow. All we can do is try our best to survive."
The implication is that you shouldn't even think about running away.
Xavier leaned back in his chair, stretched, and then stubbed out his cigarette, which he had just taken two puffs of, in the ashtray. "Alright, I'm going to rest now."
Raphael nodded and watched Xavier leave.
He sat there in a daze for a while, considering whether he should tell "Fool" about the specific actions of the Aurora Society.
But after thinking about it, he decided against it, since "The Fool" seemed more interested in the king's speech.
Raphael was not too worried about his safety. Since the "true creator" and Adam were going to use him, he was sure to be safe until he could do his job.
After it has served its purpose, there is a white jade-colored round bead to cover the rest.
So Raphael's current worry is that he has become nothing more than a pawn!
He sat alone for more than ten minutes, feeling an unprecedented sense of urgency about his promotion.
He had always thought that Pu Sheng was preparing for the apocalypse more than ten years from now, and that he still had some free time.
But now, he hates the feeling of being a chess piece.
After thinking for a long time, Raphael finally got up and went back to his bedroom to rest.
The next morning, everyone got up early, had breakfast, and gathered in the living room where they had been staying the previous day.
Besides Mr. C, the "Sage of Mystery" was also there. At five o'clock sharp, the "Sage of Mystery" used his "travel" ability to take everyone to their destination.
In reality, only six extraordinary individuals participated in the operation, but Raphael also brought twelve undead, so it appeared to be a large group of people.
At this point, Raphael roughly understood why Mr. C had developed him into an important subordinate.
Once the sealed artifact is temporarily sealed, his undead can try to carry it. After all, they are already dead, and there are so many of them that they are more useful than normal extraordinary beings.
Lost in thought, Raphael saw a rich, oil painting-like color before him—a visual change as he left the spirit world.
The next second, they found themselves in an underground cave.
