After staring at the deck below for a while, Cattleya left the captain's cabin and walked to the cabin's entrance. She waited for Frank Lee, who was carrying a bucket of non-alcoholic beer.
"Captain, do you want a cup?" Frank raised the huge bucket of beer with one hand.
Cattleya shook her head firmly and asked in a seemingly casual manner,
"Is this the will of the benevolent mother again?"
"No," Frank said rather seriously. "I just feel that it's not good for the body to drink alcohol with modified sedatives for a long period of time. I hope they can accept this kind of beverage that tastes like alcohol but doesn't actually have any alcohol. Of course, this is only a preliminary result. It doesn't involve alcohol. After all, it can't be distilled to improve the taste."
Cattleya was momentarily at a loss for words. She nudged the heavy glasses on the bridge of her nose and fell silent for two seconds before saying, "Yes.
"Have you heard the voice of the benevolent mother and received a divine revelation?"
"No." Frank shook his head without a care.
Phew … Cattleya secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
At this moment, Frank casually added,
"The will of the benevolent mother is in the growing of wheat, in the milk of cows, in the growth of mushrooms, in every corner of nature. There's no need for a divine revelation to sense it."
Cattleya's gaze instantly shot towards Frank's eyes. She didn't find any madness in them, only purity.
She didn't say anything else as she nodded slightly and walked forward. She walked past Frank Lee and onto the deck.
After focusing on the seascape for a few minutes, Cattleya returned to the captain's cabin, spread out a piece of paper, and wrote:
"I wonder what your thoughts are on Frank's performance? He claims that he didn't receive a divine revelation, and he believes that the will of the benevolent mother is hidden in every corner of nature. "
This was a letter to German Sparrow. Cattleya believed that with just this question and a supplementary sentence, the other party would understand what she was trying to say.
After folding the letter, she took out a gold coin and began summoning the terrifying messenger.
…
Ma 'am Hermit wrote me a letter just after I left the Tarot … It's probably not information regarding the Hidden Sage. It can't be that fast … Klein was traveling on a cruise ship on the Tussock River.
Dressed in a black robe, he took the letter from Miss Messenger's mouth, unfolded it, and read all the contents at a glance.
This … Klein frowned slightly.
Perhaps it was because Frank's usual performance was sufficiently dangerous and crazy, but he had overlooked the possibility of this Druid being influenced by the Mother Goddess of Depravity.
Frank was once sent to court by the Church of Earth Mother for a taboo experiment, and he was even wanted … If Earth Mother hasn't been corrupted, and the Church of Earth Mother is still operating normally, it means that they believe that there's something wrong with Frank … However, if the evidence is conclusive, Frank, who was sent to court, likely has no chance of surviving … Klein's thoughts raced as he attempted to find clues based on his understanding of Frank.
There's no problem with the relevant actions. The posture of praying is different from the usual praise gestures. Just like when Beyonders of the Church of Evernight pray, they wouldn't draw stars clockwise on their chests. At most, it's a closing gesture …
Apart from this small problem, there's something wrong with Frank. He's like a child raised by the Mother Goddess of Depravity … As thoughts flashed through his mind, Klein had two conflicting guesses.
Either Frank's corruption was very hidden, preventing the Church of Earth's court from confirming it, or he wasn't affected by the Mother Goddess of Depravity at all. It was purely a matter of his brain, making him look like a Blessed of an evil god.
Regardless of which guess it was, Klein didn't think that the subsequent development would be too good.
He remembered very clearly that Frank's mushroom experiment had a breakthrough because he had an assistant who believed in the Primordial Moon, and the Primordial Moon was one of the incarnations of the Mother Goddess of Depravity.
In other words, from then on, regardless of whether Frank had any problems in the past, it was very likely that he had entered the sights of the Mother Goddess of Depravity.
This wasn't a good thing.
Of course, I can't rule out the possibility that Frank was too crazy, causing the Mother Goddess of Depravity to take the initiative to shift her gaze away … Klein mumbled, trying to find joy in the midst of his misery.
This was almost impossible. The terror and strength of an Outer Deity was not something a demigod could understand.
Klein even suspected that if it wasn't for the fact that an overly intense response would destroy the anchors of the deities, causing "Them" to crazily attack each other, causing the Beyonder characteristics to further converge and awaken the Primordial One, the Outer Deities might've already destroyed the Sun and destroyed the ecological balance of this World. If they couldn't do anything to the Primordial One's barrier, wouldn't they be able to do anything to a star outside the barrier?
At times, Klein wondered if the Sun observed in astronomy was really the Sun. Perhaps it was just the Eternal Blazing Sun that had hung him there.
The mushrooms that Frank has invented so far shouldn't have any major problems. I've already taken them above the gray fog to deal with them … Furthermore, the residents of the City of Silver and Moon City didn't show any abnormalities. Yes, after they left the Forsaken Land of the Gods, they had already given up on growing mushrooms due to the lack of monster corpses and sufficient food … Increase the monitoring! The more Klein thought about it, the more afraid he became.
If it wasn't for the fact that the Mother Goddess of Depravity's power to penetrate the Primordial One barrier was still extremely limited, Klein suspected that the Cards of Blasphemy and the mushrooms had already caused him to be corrupted, causing Sefirah Castle to change owners without him realizing it.
These were all items that had been placed above the gray fog for a long period of time without any special seals.
Compared to the ostentatious and wanton Mother Tree of Desire, the low-profile Mother Goddess of Depravity was much more terrifying!
Mr. Door and the Emperor had been silently corrupted by "Him."
As expected of an existence that can stand at the top of the Outer Deities despite losing two Beyonder pathways and a sefirah … Klein sighed inwardly as he took out a pen and paper, preparing to write a reply to Cattleya.
At this moment, he realized that Miss Messenger had been waiting by his side without returning to the spirit world. The eight eyes on the four heads were staring at him without blinking.
"What do you think of Frankie?" Klein asked after some hesitation. "I mean, other than the nickname."
Reinette Tinekerr's four blonde, red-eyed heads spoke one after another.
"It's just … like … the adopted son of an Outer God …"
In other words, it's true that Frank wasn't affected by the Mother Goddess of Depravity previously. It's purely because there's something wrong with his head … Klein heaved a long sigh of relief.
He then asked:
"What about now?"
As Frankie Lee would summon Reinette Tinekerr every time he wrote a letter to the German Sparrow, Klein believed that Miss Messenger, who had a very high status, had a clear and accurate grasp of Mushroom King's condition.
"I …" "Also …" "Don't …" "Know …" Reinette Tinekerr's four heads answered one after another.
Then, "She" added:
"Body …" "Temporarily …" "Not …" "Corrupted …"
Does this mean that there's no way to tell if one's mind has been affected? That's right. Apart from Frank's low level, he usually acts more like an evil god than me … Klein lampooned as he took out a gold coin and flicked it.
With this medium, he quickly entered a dream divination state.
At the same time, he was prepared to activate Sefirah Castle to block off the Outer Deities' attention.
Scenes flashed as Klein saw several futures.
Yes, the biggest danger at the moment is the Primordial Moon believer. I have to separate him from Frank; otherwise, things will become very troublesome and dangerous … As long as Frank doesn't come into contact with anything related to the Mother Goddess of Depravity in the future and doesn't advance to a demigod, there's basically no problem … If one of these two conditions is satisfied, the chances of an accident happening will increase greatly. If they're satisfied at the same time, I can't see any developments at all … Klein snapped to his senses and interpreted the results of the divination.
Perhaps it was because Frank's level was too low and he wasn't affected too deeply, Klein's divination was rather smooth and he didn't encounter any danger.
"Phew …" He exhaled soundlessly and caught the gold coin with a snap.
Then, he realized that Miss Messenger's eight red eyes were focused on the gold coin in his palm.
Klein twitched his eyebrows, expressing his puzzlement.
"It …" "Possesses …" "Sefirah Castle's …" "Aura …" Reinette Tinekerr's four blonde, red-eyed heads bobbed up and down.
This is one of the five gold coins I often use for divination. It's already tainted with the aura of Sefirah Castle? This way, it can be considered a mystical item to a certain extent. However, its effects will diminish with the passage of time … Klein carefully looked at the gold coin in his palm and made a rough judgment based on his spiritual intuition.
This gold coin could increase the accuracy of divination and strengthen the user's ability to resist interference.
To Klein, this was a pleasant surprise. He decided to use the gold coin's actual body in the future and not its historical projection.
After taking back the gold coin, Klein wrote a reply to Ma 'am Hermit and handed it to her through Reinette Tinekerr.
…
After giving German Sparrow's messenger another gold coin, Admiral of Stars Cattleya unfolded the piece of paper and quickly scanned the letter.
After reading it, she felt a baffling sense of heaviness on her shoulders.
Without any delay, Cattleya took out another piece of paper and wrote:
"Your Majesty,
"I dreamed that you had found that primitive island and had successfully returned …
"That descendant of the Emperor's condition is worsening. If he continues staying on the Future, I suspect that he will go mad. If you don't mind, I wish to send him to your side.
"What needs to be noted is that although he claims that he no longer believes in the Primordial Moon, no one can confirm this.
…
"My greatest problem now is that it's difficult to obtain the main ingredient of Clairvoyant … If you have already returned, I wish to find a time to return the Magic Wishing Lamp to you …"
