The major Order Factions of the Western Continent have been infiltrated like a sieve. Not only does the Dawn Church have Cardinal-level double agents, but even the Empire has powerful individuals who have been compromised. There's a saying: when you see one cockroach in your room, it ans hundreds are already living and eating with you. Following this logic, the Princes' Alliance must have its share of traitors as well.
"Haha... I didn't expect you, old man, to have finally seen the light."
"No longer obsessed with that 'Throne realm boundary', but have finally decided to set foot in the Divine Realm?"
The first powerful individual, who seed to be in the Lost Realm, clearly recognized the last speaker and let out several grating laughs with a hoarse voice.
"Rest assured. Ownerless Divinity and Authority Fragnts, though scarce, We have accumulated so over the past thousand years."
"It's only a trade after all."
The one who spoke of resolving the martial law in the Empire Capital did not say much but simply nodded indifferently.
"The token that contains the Power of Faith, just pass it to through the black fog."
Above the bronze long table, various discussions continued for a while before finally coming to a halt.
And Shiayar had recorded all this information without missing a word. The more he listened, the more alard he beca.
Manipulating the Godly Descent Ritual, assassinating political figures, infiltrating nations, controlling wars... These matters, in the mouths of the Golden Dawn attendees, seed as natural as eating and drinking. Clearly, in the long history of this organization, Golden Dawn had done similar things many tis before. The rightful source is novel_fіre
Ti flowed independently here. Consequently, the Golden Dawn attendees returned to the material world in an instant. To any observer, it would have seed like a re mont of distraction; no one would have noticed anything unusual.
Soon, above the black fog, aside from Shiayar who had been secretly observing all along, only three remained: the leader, Su Lun, and the Cardinal from the Dawn Church who had entered with her.
"Aulia."
"And, if I'm not mistaken, this one here should be the current Dawn Saintess, right?"
Seeing that only three people remained at the bronze long table, the leader nodded.
He rely glanced at Aulia and then rested his gaze on Su Lun.
"According to the information I possess, Shiayar Egutt, who made such a splash at the Borgia family banquet six months ago, seems to have a past connection with you. Was he the one who took you in?"
"Leader, that was many years ago," Aulia hurriedly started to explain upon hearing the leader's question. "That Shiayar Egutt is terribly fickle, entangled with nurous won, and indifferent towards Su Lun... Su Lun has long parted ways with him..."
But the next mont, the figure in the head seat slightly raised a hand, silencing Aulia completely, stopping her from speaking further.
"No matter."
He looked down at Su Lun, who had been sitting there obediently and silently since entering the secret Golden Dawn eting, and spoke gently.
"He did, after all, take you in."
"Whether you still hold him in your heart or have long forgotten him, the organization will not put you in a difficult position."
"In fact, I do not intend to target Shiayar Egutt or do anything to his detrint."
"Quite the opposite; for him, Golden Dawn offers only advantages, no disadvantages..."
"I will grant him a great opportunity. A chance for him to rise to greatness in one step, to ascend to the Throne, and to possess power rivaling, or even surpassing, that of Deities."
His words carried an inexplicable persuasiveness, making even Shiayar feel their gentleness and elegance, as if bathed in a spring breeze.
"The invitation I sent him before was also sincere, but it's a pity that Shiayar Egutt is too cautious and did not accept it."
He looked at Su Lun with sincerity.
"So, the reason I invited you to join Golden Dawn was indeed to convey our goodwill to Shiayar Egutt through you."
"Although he has mysteriously vanished for three months, I know he's certainly still alive and exists sowhere in this world."
"Since you and Shiayar Egutt parted ways in Lokiya five years ago, have you had any contact with him?"
"If so, how have you been in contact?"
Su Lun seed to sense the leader's sincerity, and her voice took on a hint of being moved.
She blinked her eyes gently and said in a timid voice, "Actually, I have had so contact with Shiayar over the years."
"Oh? How?" The leader's voice imdiately followed.
"Through the Seven Gods."
Su Lun's words carried a solemn and holy weight, perfectly fitting her image as the Dawn Saintess.
"Every day during prayer, I pray to the seven orthodox gods of Dawn, asking them to pass on the letters I have written for him to Shiayar Egutt."
"As the Dawn Saintess, my prayers to the Seven Gods always receive a response. However, I have never received a reply from Shiayar Egutt."
"Clearly, he is entangled in the pleasures of the Empire Capital and has long forgotten my existence."
As she spoke, Su Lun showed a bit of indignation.
However, she soon looked curiously towards the far end of the bronze long table, at the chief enshrouded by black fog.
