"Go back, Ash, and remember to go to the church first, the archbishop wants to see you."

Entering the underground from the 'Beckland Detective Agency', the group handed over two seals to the caretaker inside the Chanis Gate.

The four Embers returned the same way, while Crestai stayed at Chanis Gate with Old Neil.

The other side's pollution problem must be solved immediately, and there is no need to wait for it.

But he didn't know the extent of the contamination or whether it was a conspiracy against the church.

To prevent accidents, he needs to use the power of Chanisman.

On the other side, the four embers who had returned the same way had already arrived at the intersection.

Go straight ahead to the detective agency, behind is the Chanis Gate, and turn right for the church.

This is the same layout as the city of Tingen.

I don't know if it's intentional.

The three Al continue straight ahead, while Ember turns right at the intersection.

"It's finally back."

Back in the hall of the detective agency, Lorota slumped on the sofa and whispered to the other girl on the sofa, "Eve, you can take care of your Simon!" Because of his crow's beak, we almost perished in Tingen this time! ”

"Aren't you all right?"

Simon looked at Lorota a little speechlessly, is it really okay for you to slander me in front of my fiancée like this?

"She's telling the truth."

Al Hassen rubbed his temples and said a little tiredly, "This time, we really almost died in Tingen City. ”

When Simon heard this, his expression instantly became solemn.

"What's going on?"

……

The feeling of walking alone through the dark passages reminded Ember of the sewers inexplicably.

Similar, but very different.

Reaching the end of the passage, Ember made his way up the staircase that winds upward.

Finally, through a secret door, it appears in the church of St. Samuel.

And when he appeared, Archbishop Anthony greeted him with a smile in his face.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Ember, and I hope you find this trip to Tingen enjoyable."

"Good afternoon, Archbishop."

Ember bowed slightly, giving a response.

But his expression was slightly strange-

Archbishop.

He met several archbishops.

But unfortunately, none of those people were able to communicate with him normally.

Either they are already dead, or they will start fighting when they meet.

"Mr. Ember."

Anthony smiled and asked, "Did you get what you wanted during this trip to Tingen?" ”

"Nope."

Ember bowed slightly.

Although it was confirmed that there was still a firewood alternative, he still had no clue about the Black Emperor.

"If that's the case."

Anthony still looked kind, and smiled, "I suggest that you communicate more with the upper nobles of this country, then you may be able to obtain information related to the Black Emperor from them." ”

"Aristocrats?"

Ember slowly raised his head, is this the plot advancing?

"What to do?"

Ember asked.

"Mr. Ember."

Anthony smiled and said, "There will always be never-ending balls, banquets, and salons among the nobles, and I will arrange invitations to these banquets for you. Just join them, and you'll have the opportunity to get information from these nobles. ”

"Of course."

Anthony paused, then continued, "I don't recommend that you go around asking for information about the Black Emperor, those ordinary nobles may not know, but those who know ......"

Anthony didn't say any more, but Ember already understood what he was trying to say—

Those who know, most likely, are enemies.

If it is rashly revealed that he is looking for information about the Black Emperor, it is likely to startle the snake.

It would be better if the disturbed snake came up and bit him.

But it is also possible that the snake will choose to run away, which will be a problem for Ember.

"When?"

Ember asked.

"There's going to be a banquet tomorrow night."

Anthony seemed to have expected Ember to ask such a question, and smiled slightly, "The day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, there will be it, as long as you want, you can go to participate at any time." Like I said, the ball between the nobles is always never-ending. ”

"But before that."

Anthony continued, "I think it's probably time for you to get started with the 'way'. ”

As soon as the words fell, the world in front of Ember suddenly shattered like a mirror.

Anthony's figure vanished, replaced by a lady in a modest linen robe.

Ember had seen her—

Arianna.

"There are twenty-two sequential pathways in this world."

Arianna whispered, "You can also call it the path of the gods. ”

"The Church doesn't have all the sequence recipes, but we have all the low-rank recipes for the twenty-two pathways, and some of them also have some medium-rank or even high-rank potions."

As he spoke, a piece of parchment appeared out of thin air in front of Ember.

Above are the names and abilities corresponding to the medium- and low-order potions of the twenty-two divine paths, which are difficult for ordinary people to even touch any of them, but at this time, they seem to be waiting for Ember to favor them with anticha着手ing.

"If you want, you can choose any of them."

"Any one?"

Ember was slightly surprised.

"Yes, any one."

Arianna nodded solemnly, then he paused again, drew a crimson moon on his chest, and added in a low voice, "Except, of course, the path of the gods corresponding to the night, death, moon, mother, and witch. ”

"So there are really only 17 options for me?"

Ember bowed slightly.

In fact.

He probably knew why these avenues were 'excluded.'"

Although his memory is missing, he always remembers some very important things-

For example, there are sequences that turn a man into a woman, such as a witch, such as the moon, and such as a mother.

He didn't have a clue about night and death, but since they were juxtaposed, it should be the same.

Ember apparently has no idea of becoming female, although he can turn back into a male at any time.

So except for that, except for it, he wasn't interested anyway.

"What else?"

Ember didn't rush to look at the parchment, but asked.

He felt that Arianna still had something to say.

“……”

Arianna opened her mouth, drew another crimson moon, and whispered, "I suggest you choose the apprentice, soothsayer's path. ”

"These two paths are preferred, and the secondary choices can also be spectators and thieves, or secret prayers, voyeurs, lawyers, and warriors."

"That's right."

Ember looked at the seventeen sequence pathways in front of him, lost in thought.

"Can I choose a few more?"

Ember pondered for a moment, then suddenly looked up and asked.

There is a limit to human power.

So he chose to practice melee combat and be a master and learn miracles.

Otherwise, there really is no way to drag those salary kings to burn.

Therefore, when faced with these sequential pathways, he wondered if he could have a few more.

“……”

Arianna showed a slightly stunned look on her face, and quickly recovered, "A person can only take one sequence path potion at the same time, and taking two different pathways of potion will lead to madness and loss of control. ”

"It's crazy."

Ember fell into thought.

If drinking different potions would lead to death, he wasn't afraid at all.

But if he fell into madness, he might really need to think seriously about whether to gamble or not-

Bet on whether he can recover his sanity through death and resurrection after he goes crazy.

But until you're completely sure, it's better not to try it lightly.

"It's better not to try."

Arianna reminded in a low voice.

"Understood."

Ember bowed slightly, his expression was extremely calm, and he didn't know whether he really understood or not.

"So."

Ember slowly reached out and pointed to one of the sequence pathways, "I choose ......"
