The silence in the chamber was audible with a needle drop, except for the faint sound of Catherine's slightly rapid breathing.

Sitting on a chair in the center, she held a girl puppet with a garland on her head, which should have been carefully cared for, but at the moment her hands unconsciously clenched it.

His expression was full of shock, as if he had seen something incredible.

"No, it's unlikely, it's the power of the legendary true gods, the master said...... But also ......"

After a moment's pause, she closed her eyes again, and with a movement of her mind following the feeling she had had before, a gray world emerged!

The sky is dark, the earth is parched beneath our feet, and as far as the eye can see, it looks like a lifeless wasteland.

This time her mood was stable, and Catherine was not blinded by this "world" again, but began to feel it carefully.

Then she realized that although the surroundings were lifelike, they were not real, but ...... It's a spiritual world that emerges based on one's own cognition!?

This speculation not only did not make her feel calm, but even more dazed.

Although there was a certain spiritual connection between her and her master, this connection was traditionally a contractual relationship between the apostle and the master.

It is a spiritual channel that can communicate with each other, and although there are various constraints and rules in it, it is not beyond the scope of her knowledge.

However, all this in front of her completely shocked her worldview.

It's like a wild man who usually lives in a rough thatched hut, but one day he is suddenly dragged into a castle floating in the clouds!

She could find that there were some strange objects in this "castle" that she could use, but she couldn't figure out the reason and essence of these objects, and she couldn't understand how the castle was built!

Walking slowly through this strange world, Catherine tried to keep herself as calm as possible, in case the master, who might be "peeping" in the shadows, saw her ugliness.

But after a few steps, she didn't have the heart to think about it anymore.

In front of her eyes, there were hazy scenes flashing out of them, and the principles and laws contained in them simply fascinated her.

It's a pity that she can't see through this at all, so in the end she can only reluctantly shift her attention back to the scene itself-

Among the many scenes that come to mind as you walk, there are whispers between two noblewomen, others in the palace chatting with people, or encountering something new while riding a horse in the suburbs.

It was a memory in her mind, and at first Catherine didn't know what it meant.

But after observing for a while, she found that these memories showed the most profound pictures of the acquaintances she knew in her memory!

The clearest of the many images is in an exquisite room.

A little girl wearing a garland on her head and wearing a blue dress is sharing dessert with her terrifying "self" in a floor-to-ceiling mirror.

The girl's face was full of innocence and curiosity, and in the mirror she seemed a little stunned.

Catherine was in a trance for a moment, and then she reached out and touched the mirror in the hazy scene, but nothing happened.

The fingertips just ripple as if they were poking into the water.

But during this period, her own spiritual power was withdrawn, and Catherine had some realization.

She paused, and then tried to communicate with her mind about the desolate world around her.

As a result, everything that was originally desolate around it suddenly became hazy for a few moments, and finally turned into a dark underground hall.

In the deepest part of the hall is a towering statue of a faceless giant, cloaked in a cloak with a faint starlight looming around it.

On the silver surface of the giant's view, there are faceless statues of the same normal human size, in the shape of men and women, but there are no more specific details.

But Catherine could clearly recognize what each statue in it represented-

In fact, it was a memory that emerged in the wasteland before, but it was more concretely turned into a "real thing" at this moment.

She reached out and touched one of them, and her own spirituality was extracted, turning into the mysterious power of the surrounding space and transmitting to unknown places.

So it didn't take long for the statue in front of Catherine to come to life, the pale stone color faded, the skin and sleeves were like ordinary people, but the facial features were obscured by a hazy black mist.

"Chief, you're calling—"

The statue that came to life saw Catherine's presence at first sight, but then suddenly noticed the abnormality of its surroundings and froze.

"What did you feel just now?" Catherine asked.

Unlike when she communicated at Bernie, her voice is now full of majesty.

"I just heard your call, Chief, and responded."

The one who came to life replied, "And then I came to this place......"

Obviously, she was just thinking that she was talking, but she was at a loss when even people appeared in front of the leader, and she was at a loss about everything around her.

Catherine didn't quite understand it either, so she couldn't explain it, but that didn't stop her from nodding her head in understanding.

"I'm trying a new way of gathering."

Wen Yan, who came to life, immediately breathed a sigh of relief, because she thought that as long as it was not affected by external forces, she hurriedly asked, "Do you need your subordinates to do anything?" ”

"Not for now, you can go down."

"Yes."

The statue that came to life always performed a salute, and then I didn't know what she touched, but she straightened up, and the original living appearance was solidified and white again, and finally changed back to the form of a sculpture.

Catherine muttered for a moment, then walked over to the new statue and touched it.

Second, third, fourth......

Through continuous experimentation, she gradually figured out the specific rules of operation of this place.

She can "invite" everyone she knows to come here, provided that the other person does not resist.

At the same time, there are two kinds of invitations, one is one-time, and if the other party wants to come here again after leaving, Catherine needs to repeat the invitation.

The other is fixed, after one invitation, the other party can appear in the place without Catherine's consent.

But Catherine is free to make such immobilizers unable to "come to life", and can only be a statue that does not move, unable to speak, let alone move.

In addition to this, the person who is regularly invited seems to be free to choose his or her own image, not just the appearance of a faceless cloak......

Everything seemed magical, so magical that even a veteran transcendent, who prided herself on some ability, couldn't see through the slightest principle.

Catherine was in a trance, as if she had returned to the time when she first met her master, and she was at a loss for anything.

But she didn't stay in the space for long, she still remembered the conversation she had with her master.

Having a general understanding of the usefulness of this place, Catherine moved her mind and withdrew from this wonderful place.

Opening her eyes in the secret room, she looked down at the girl puppet in her hand again, and then placed it on the chair she was sitting on.

Catherine then stood up and walked to the door of the chamber, touching the silver star necklace she wore on her chest as she went.

A hidden wave of power emerged from the necklace and spread throughout her body.

Catherine ignored the heavy walls and doors of the chamber and made her way through the walls into the corridor outside.

In the white and bright corridor, there are many maids walking around busily with dinner plates, and there are also housekeepers and guards watching and urging on the side.

But they completely ignored Catherine's presence, or did not see her at all.

So Catherine walked slowly down the bright corridor, and finally through a large door, she came to a banquet hall.

The hall is very vast, and the dome is equally high.

Gorgeous chandeliers inlaid with luminous crystals are neatly embellished, making this place as bright as day.

Behind the marble balustrades on the second floor on both sides, there are also bards playing and singing soothing music, enveloping the atmosphere of this place very romantic.

So under the backdrop of this light and background music, in the middle of the hall, aristocratic men and women in gorgeous dresses were dancing, and there were many leisurely onlookers around, or chatting in twos and threes.

There were so many people here, and as far as the eye could see, there was a rush of people, but no one noticed Catherine's approach.

Stepping into the hall, she could clearly hear the people here talking about all kinds of important matters, some of them secretly, some of them were seriously related to the introduction and preparation of the kingdom's decrees.

The most talked about is a knightly joust that took place on the Queen's birthday celebration over the past two days, and the hunt that the King took the lead in organizing after this birthday party.

Naturally, the presence of the queen herself is indispensable in these topics, so many people's eyes are looking at the beautiful queen dancing with a middle-aged man wearing a crown in the center of the dance floor.

The queen wore waist-length blonde hair and a worsted ivory satin gown, and her steps moved gracefully, like a diamond hairnet draped over her hair.

Therefore, those eyes hidden in the surrounding crowd have different emotions, envy, jealousy, covetousness, obsession, gloom, joy......

They thought they were hidden, but they could not imagine that a man dressed exactly like the one they were looking at was watching them with interest in the dark.

"Who can guarantee that what you see with your own eyes will be true."

The corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up, but Catherine's attention didn't linger long on these stupid people.

Quietly weaving through the crowd of the banquet, she finally came to a corner of the hall.

There were two people sitting in the corner talking at this time, and their voices did not hide anything.

But the people around them didn't seem to hear any noise, and didn't even glance at them, even though their conversation was very abnormal—

"The guards responsible for attracting the Divine Favor have been completely cleared, and my subordinates dare to guarantee that there will not be the slightest possibility of exposure in this regard."

The person who spoke was a middle-aged nobleman with a bare head and a little hair around his ears, and his expression was quite panicked at the moment.

In contrast, the "young man" sitting across from him seemed much calmer.

"Can you explain to me what happened to those shadow crows that suddenly appeared?"

"The subordinates can't explain it, the subordinates ......"

"Hold your mind to think about what to do to fix it, I'm sure you won't expose us, right?"

"Of course, the subordinates are already thinking about it......"

……

They talked as if no one else was talking, not noticing that Catherine was listening quietly.

So when the conversation was at an opportune moment, Catherine approached the "young man" who was giving orders, and bent down beside the white, crystalline earlobes of the other and whispered.

"Let Veblen and his business enter Pharos, we need him."

Others couldn't hear this, but the "young man" looked in a trance for a moment, and then naturally repeated the whole sentence in his mouth.

"Let Veblen and his business enter Pharos, we need him."

"Vebrun?"

The bald middle-aged nobleman on the other side was stunned when he heard this, "But the church has clearly rejected him......"

"Look at the archbishop." Catherine whispered another word beside her.

"Look at the archbishop."

The "boy" replied, then chuckled.

"My dear Uncle Rhodes has done a lot lately, not least because he has discovered a Divine Servant. And what has happened to our esteemed Archbishop Elvis lately? Think about it. ”

"This ...... The subordinates understood, and the subordinates went to do it next. ”

The bald middle-aged nobleman nodded, but his expression was a little hesitant, "It's just that the subordinates don't quite understand that it is ...... to let Veblen come to Pharos."

"Doesn't that help our plans in any way?"

"My subordinates really can't figure it out......"

"What do you think is the reason for the church's long-term dominance?"

"They control a large number of transcendents?"

"Stupid."

"There are gods in heaven to support you?"

"Huh."

"That ......"

……

Catherine didn't continue to listen because she had already accomplished her projected goal.

She turned away from the corner and walked out of the banquet hall.

Passing by the edge of the dance floor, the blonde queen in sight was still beautiful when she smiled skillfully, and even the middle-aged king who danced with her accidentally crooked her feet, and the surrounding nobles had many dull faces, as if they were lost in their souls.

and then unconsciously showed all kinds of ugly postures in front of their respective female companions.

The real queen walked quietly in the shadows, looking at the extravagant scene with a mockery in her eyes.

The owner's plans are unfolding, how long more can they enjoy?
