Chapter 96 The Beginning of Destiny
At this moment, thousands of Novin believers in the lower town of Green Harbor seemed to have pressed the pause button at the same time.
Because this time the scope of Novan's oracle is all mortals who have established faith in him!
The laborers working with their heads down in the workshop;
A clerk hawking in a street merchant;
The stonemason who is busy stacking bricks;
The apprentice who bows his head and is scolded by his master;
The coolies carrying the goods on the dock;
There are also professionals who have just distributed the spoils.
People of different ages, genders, and professions all stopped what they were doing to read this sudden oracle!
[The stars are returning to their positions after a long time. The whispers of prophecy are traveling through the kingdom of God, like the whispers of the gods in the past. The wheel of destiny is turning again, and the altar of creation is about to be awakened by an ancient existence! 】
[The great God of Knowledge has understood the truth of all things in the world. This is a legend belonging to mortals, a call of duty! 】
【Go to the legendary place of the altar of creation and kick off a new era! 】
[Main Mission Objective: Find the Altar of Creation]
[Reward for completing the main mission: Title "Investor of the Era of Destiny"]
After reading the complete oracle, 99% of the believers' reaction was only two words:
Confused.
The oracle message that is directly transmitted into the mind can be understood even if one is illiterate, but... obviously every sentence can be understood, but the final meaning is confusing to everyone.
The mission sent down by the God of Knowledge probably requires believers to find something or a place called the Altar of Creation.
But everyone has no clue!
This is not like the activities to clean up the Blood Fang Gang, which have clear indicators. As long as the members of the Blood Fang Gang are eliminated or their crimes are prevented, you will be rewarded. The ultimate goal is to nip the evil god threat in the bud.
The mission requirement this time was just six words:
"Looking for the Altar of Creation."
No hints, no clues, no guidance.
Even Pat, who always boasted that he had the best interpretation of the oracle's will from the God of Knowledge, didn't have a clear idea.
The believers who had just distributed the spoils looked at each other.
"The Altar of Creation? Has anyone heard of it?"
"No!" Everyone shook their heads like a rattle.
The sturdy Brandon stood there upright, thinking hard for a long time, and suddenly said with great excitement: "I heard the bards say that a legendary adventurer once spent seven days and seven nights alone to go to the... Deep in the Twilight Wasteland, an altar to the evil god was destroyed."
"The Altar of Creation—could it actually be another name for an altar of evil gods?"
"Should we ask the bards? Aren't they well-informed?"
Peter held on to the headband he had just put on and rolled his eyes with a wry smile: "Are you sure the stories told by the bards in the tavern are true!"
"I remember hearing a drunken bard tell a story about the Cardinal of the Glow Cult and the two little boys."
"Do you think this can be true?"
Lena, who was listening intently to Peter's words next to her, and Miranda, who was not far away, immediately opened their eyes.
They didn’t understand, but they were shocked!
It is worth mentioning that the headband that Peter is wearing is the wise headband that Brandon picked up after the conflict with the ogre Doom in the Rolling Bolt Workshop. When the trophies were auctioned, Brandon felt that they might not be able to deal with Evan and his men without Pete bringing people to support them, so he decided that this wisdom ring could be considered a common trophy for everyone.
Divine magic has a rating of 317, making it the most valuable of all trophies.
Peter couldn't afford so many points for the time being, so he adopted a rental method and paid a high price of 100 knowledge points to obtain the right to use the wisdom ring during this period.
"In short, there is no way to confirm the authenticity of what the bard said. If they tell you that the Altar of Creation is in the Northern Kingdom in the northernmost part of the continent, are you still going to run directly from the southernmost part of the continent to the northernmost part?"
After complaining about Brandon, Pet came up with a fairly reliable idea.
"Just in time, Gale and I will go uptown later to exchange gold coins for everyone's change."
"Let's go back to the Caron College library and simply look for any clues about the Altar of Creation."
"But I guess the hope is slim. Judging from the Lord's oracle, I'm afraid we won't be able to find this thing anytime soon."
Miranda also raised her hand and enthusiastically provided ideas: "I'll go back to the city with you."
"There are also books and materials in the church. I'll go see if there are any relevant clues."
"Maybe I can ask Mr. Bahamut?"
Under Gale's temptation, Miranda finally tried to recite the prayer and established her faith in Novan. Therefore, she now joined the team temporarily formed to eliminate the Blood Fang Gang.
Peter glanced at Miranda with complicated eyes.
What's going on with this girl?
Pat's first impression of Miranda was that of a hateful but kind-hearted young Crusader priest;
Why now, as we get to know each other better, do we feel that this stupid kid seems to be a bit stupid?
After the conversation outside the blood-red mercenary stronghold, Bate could tell that Bahamut's identity was certainly not simple, and he was so elusive that no one else could find him unless he took the initiative to find him.
How could Miranda still hope to go to Bahamut for clues?
Whether they are willing to show up or not is still a question!
"Forget it, you... if you have a way, just try it. It's a good thing if there are clues. It doesn't matter if you can't find anything." Pett couldn't bear to dampen the other party's enthusiasm.
Although the [main mission] conveyed in the oracle seems to be very important, everyone has no clue now, and it is likely that they have spent a lot of time and energy without making any substantial progress.
"Our most important task right now is to eliminate the Blood Fang Gang."
After killing three boss-level members in a row, the outbreak progress of the evil god threat has been reduced back to 35%, which is considered a very safe number.
However, more than half of the duration of this "limited event" has passed today, with only the last 7 days left.
After getting to know Miranda, Peter had figured out why the God of Knowledge had given the so-called time limit in the first place.
This also made him couldn't help but sigh:
"As expected of the legendary god who knows the truth about the operation of all things, he can predict things to such an extent."
This duration may not be a countdown to warn them of the evil god's threat, but a reminder that if the problem cannot be solved within the remaining time, Miranda will report the Bloodfang Gang's contamination by the evil god to the Crusaders. They have no part in this matter!
