Transcendent Dawn - Chapter 444:
Chapter 444: Chapter 0444: Targeted (Extra 2200, asking for monthly pass)
Although preparing to traverse again, it wasn’t 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.
“What? You’re leaving again?”
Dunstan stared in surprise at Su Lu before him.
“Is there an issue?”
Su Lu furrowed his brows.
“No! It’s 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.”
Dunstan earnestly advised, “Aside from this… The Federation has sent numerous requests to Green Tree Castle, all of them wanting you to undertake some missions.”
The [Wandering Mage] possesses the ability to traverse the Spirit World, freely moving between the Spirit World and the Dark Continent. Furthermore, he’s 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.
However…
He sneered and asked, “How many of these missions come from the church?”
The Goddess Church must certainly view him as a critical target.
Thinking of this, Su Lu couldn’t help but sigh,” A fifth level like me…has already drawn much attention from the Goddess Church…The path of the Transcendent is one from which there is no turning back from the beginning…and to combat their hostility, I must constantly level up.”
“Hehe…”
Dunstan remained silent, which was as good as acknowledging it.
He took out a smoking pipe, deeply inhaling, “In fact…there is a solution. For instance…becoming the Federation’s reserve guardian. This is more like an honor advisory position…”
“I have no intention of considering this.”
Su Lu was well aware that if he were to join the Federation, the church wouldn’t press him so hard, and the Federation wouldn’t play accomplice.
But he didn’t want to compromise.
Kneeling once makes the knees soft— it’s only a matter of time before the second and third times come.
Not to mention the church’s 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.
“Alright… I’ll relay your refusal to the Federation…in a tactful manner.”
Dunstan sighed.
From his perspective, this departure might also be Su Lu’s form of resistance.
Such impromptu actions might make some people uncomfortable…but for some reason, he found himself feeling a bit envious.
“Youth is wonderful!”
That was all Dunstan could sigh.
“So, I’ll take my leave now.”
Su Lu bowed slightly and his figure slowly vanished.
…
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.
“He refused? I knew it…”
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 characters—’Theology Department, Bishop’s Office’.
The Theology Department!
In the age of obscurity, this was a name that could stop a child’s night-crying, back then it used to be called the ‘Goddess’ Tribunal’!
Those who held positions here were fervent followers of the goddess, they launched several witch hunts, burning a large number of ‘witches’ and ‘warlocks’ alive at the stake.
And this elderly robed man, if placed in ancient times, would be the head of the Religious Tribunal!
— Alfred!
This is the current term for the head of the Theology Department.
In the dark world of the Federation, he had another nickname— Goddess’ Whip!
“Archbishop…I believe the individual might be a heretic, we must secretly arrest and verify his faith.”
The clergy member who brought the telegram expressed indignantly.
As Alfred’s 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!
“It’s quite normal…Transcendents fear and curse us, yet they do not know, only the Goddess is truly merciful, she can protect all humans.”
Alfred made a prayer gesture, “If we allow the Evil God to run rampant, or usher in a new God, it would push this world towards an unpredictable future.”
“Su Lu Pottery! Originally, considering the Pottery family, I expected him to run around and slow down his progress…But he chose his own death. Apart from the goddess, no one else can save him.”
Alfred continued, “Put his name on the internal execution list. Have the ‘Sanctions’ department beneath you draft a plan…Spirit World Traversal is not omnipotent.”
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 Lu’s imagination!
“There’s no problem with the trap. I’m just afraid he would try to escape from this world…” The clergy member standing nearby said under his breath.
“A person is always bound by their own emotions, and it’s hard for them to choose to leave their hometown, let alone the world, right?”
Alfred fingered over Su Lu’s file,” His brother has disappeared? Or has he been hidden? From this angle, kinship, friendship…they can all become traps.”
His finger stopped on the name Sean, “This Sean, is now a fourth level [Ghost Doctor]?”
When mentioning this profession, Alfred’s face was filled with disgust.
Like the [Wandering Mage], this was also a profession bestowed by the Evil God.
“Yes, currently he is the captain of a large team under the Eleventh Bureau.” the clergy member bowed.
“We 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?”
Alfred smiled.
“I understand.” The clergy member nodded repeatedly and was about to leave.
“Also, before the operation, don’t forget to hold a ritual to interfere with the prophetic power in this aspect. I don’t want any loopholes .” The voice of Alfred followed soon.
…
“Life… is so helpless…”
The Eleventh Bureau.
Stephen Wellesley held the telegram in his hand, pondered, and finally made a decision.
When it’s between a fourth-level subordinate and the Goddess Church, choosing doesn’t require much hesitation.
“A fifth-level battle, huh? Neither party is from the Federation, so let it not be fought on Federation land…”
He glanced over the map and quickly locked onto a certain coordinate.
That was a sea island where the suspected ‘God of Doom’ relics were found!
