Athena was the so-called "Remnant of the Burning Fire Tribe." Her knowledge of her identity came from her elders, and the same was true about the mastery of power.
But she actually didn't have the idea of reviving or inheriting these things. She just wanted to be an ordinary person.
So the first half of her life, since she left her somewhat mysterious family, was spent in an ordinary life. But since she already had power, she would be curious about other extraordinary powers in this world.
So even as an ordinary person, she would still look for and observe events caused by various extraordinary powers, so as to peek into the world she gave up and enjoy it.
She could find clues that ordinary people couldn't see, but she would never say it out loud.
For example, this time's incident with Father Vincent. She knew from the beginning that the so-called church explosion should actually be the movement caused by the fight between the Extraordinaries on both sides, just like the so-called gas explosion.
From the moment Father Vincent showed the power of the sun in the dream, Athena knew that she couldn't avoid it. The instinctive call from the bottom of her heart seemed to have been separated by tens of thousands of years.
It was forcing her to meet her destiny.
It wasn't until this moment that she realized that it wasn't her interest that made her constantly pay attention to and look for traces of Extraordinaries, but the restless wildness of the "Remnant of the Burning Fire Tribe" in her blood.
She was destined to be unwilling to be mediocre.
Athena took a deep breath, looked at Annie, and said seriously, "Good Annie, in fact, I've been hiding it from you."
"Is it the 'Remnant of the Burning Fire Tribe' that guy just said? Athena, are you the same as Father Vincent? Are you … an Extraordinaire as mentioned by the priest? "
Annie frowned and guessed hesitantly.
Vincent had just explained to them in a comprehensive way what Extraordinaries were and what the Sun God Sect was.
Athena nodded and said, "The 'Remnant of the Burning Fire Tribe' is the descendant of the ancestors of the only tribe that believed in the sun in ancient times, and now I'm the only one left."
She blinked. "In essence, I'm a follower of the Sun God. The so-called Dome Church is just a cover … I heard that we haven't heard the echo of the sun for tens of thousands of years. I thought maybe the sun had disappeared, and I could pretend to be a normal person and slack off."
"But since the sun has reappeared, as a remnant of the Burning Fire Tribe, I must become the firewood of the sun. This is our mission."
Annie couldn't help but ask, "What about Paul?"
Both of them had families, which was why they got to know each other during a street women's meeting.
Athena was a little embarrassed. She fiddled with her hair and said, "This, ahem, it doesn't matter. Anyway, as long as the Sun God Church replaces the Dome Church, we will be official clergy. You can refer to the current Dome Church. They don't require abstinence like the Plague Church. They can totally get married. As long as we hide it well, there is no problem at all."
She hesitated for a moment and said, "But since we're here, there's one thing I have to apologize for. Look at me."
Annie looked at her, and then she was in a trance. The "Athena" in her eyes, the ordinary middle-aged woman who was a little fat, suddenly turned into a strange woman with light brown skin about 30 years old.
"This is the most common simple illusion," Athena said. "The life of an Extraordinaire is very long … In fact, I've changed three husbands. At most, I can divorce and start over."
Annie was completely stunned.
She could still accept what had happened just now. It was just that her worldview had been refreshed. Now, her whole understanding was about to collapse.
"Okay, okay …" Annie said stiffly.
After all, she was her best friend. Even so, she could only accept it.
The others in the bookstore were still cleaning the scene. They were in awe of Athena, who had just shown her fierce female warrior state. No one came over to talk, but there were still many people who secretly glanced at the two.
Annie was a little uncomfortable and whispered, "I didn't expect the priest to know the police of the Central Police Station. It seems that he has a very wide network to be able to make them work for him. So powerful."
Vincent introduced the Sun Sect, but Ke Laode did not introduce the Miyie Tower. So, Annie still thought that Ke Laode was a super policeman of the Central Police Station.
She was very surprised that Vincent could mobilize the Central Police Station at will.
"I don't know Mr. Ke Laode. He just came to help for some reason."
Vincent suddenly walked over, found a seat, and sat down, saying, "The fact that I can survive and have the strength I have now, with the help of Claude and the others, is actually all thanks to Boss Lin's instructions.
He did not say that he had actually merged with the core of the sun and was no longer a human. Instead, he called himself the Pope and founder of the New Religion.
However, although the Dome Church was destined to be overthrown, the Sun Sect itself still lacked some basis to establish itself.
For example, it needed some convincing history.
Originally, Vincent planned to ask Boss Lin for help, but now this "Fire-Flaming Remnant" had just appeared and provided this opportunity.
The only tribe that believed in the sun in ancient times. Didn't this just make up for the history of the Sun Sect?
Therefore, Athena must be absorbed into the Sun Sect and become a bishop above the ten apostles.
… Although this bishop had the style of a berserker.
Vincent had just listened for a long time and confirmed that Athena herself was willing to become a member of the Sun Sect. He understood, so he came over to formally invite her.
And from here, he would start to appoint the next apostles.
Annie was very nervous in front of Father Vincent. Although they were familiar with each other before, the situation was very different now. She nervously wanted to stand up, but Vincent made a gesture of pressing her down and smiled. "Just sit and chat like a friend, Ms. Annie."
Annie saw that Vincent's attitude was still the same as before. She subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief and felt much more relaxed. She asked doubtfully, "Boss Lin?"
Athena interrupted, "It should be the owner of the bookstore next door, right?"
Vincent nodded and smiled. "Yes, that's a real wise man, a strong man."
Athena proudly winked at Annie. "I told you that the bookstore is not simple."
Annie couldn't help but be curious about the shabby bookstore. Even the priest who easily turned so many Extraordinaires into ashes just now was called a wise man, a strong man, and allowed the priest to survive the pursuit of the Dome Church and possess great power.
Combined with her impression of the bookstore's owner, Annie imagined an old man with white hair and beard and eyes full of wisdom.
At this moment, the door suddenly opened. Two men walked in, one in front and one behind.
The one in front was a tall and burly old man with a determined face. He was carrying a red-robed mage wearing a goat skull mask on his shoulder. The one behind was a young man with black hair and black eyes.
When Annie turned her head, she secretly guessed, Is this old man walking in front the owner of the bookstore?
Well … It was indeed that kind of feeling. Although he looked too tough, he had white hair and a strong temperament.
The other people's thoughts were similar to Annie's. They thought, Is this the person who supports the priest? Sure enough, he looks very strong.
As for the young man behind him, he might be an assistant.
At this moment, Vincent and Ke Laode also went up to greet him.
Annie looked at the super policeman from the Central Police Station and waved at Yue Sefu. "Teacher."
Then she turned to Lin Jie and bowed slightly. "Boss Lin!"
Eh? Annie was stunned. She was in a daze. She looked at the black-haired young man again with some surprise.
He looked to be in his early twenties!
Although Annie was already the mother of two children, she got married relatively early and was only twenty-five years old. This young man looked to be about the same age as her.
However, when she thought of what Athena said about Extraordinaires being very old, she reluctantly accepted it, but still felt very awkward.
Lin Jie first nodded in response to Ke Laode, then looked around. Every time he saw a damaged part of the store, his brows furrowed. With a dark face, he said to Yue Sefu, "The people from the Tree Merchant Guild should be able to find out the transaction location in a few days. You can release the news and get it over with as soon as possible."
