YM778.TV Chapter 106 - 0106: The Curtain Rises
“Through the Mental Realm and the Servant Contract, I can locate Beryl, but it seems I cannot resolve her…”
Su Lu recalled, feeling a bit bitter.
The information he had got was scarce, only a fragment, but he was able to confirm that she was somewhere in the west of the Federation, had joined the Black Death Society, and became their ‘Saintess’!
“The Mental Realm is very dangerous. While I can locate her, she might also locate me, besides… invading someone else’s mind is like fighting on their home turf. The target being so cryptic, this time I caught her off guard, next time if she is prepared, I would practically be offering myself on a platter.”
Su Lu warned himself secretly: “Perhaps, as a third-level [Odd Technician], I could roam freely in the Mental Realm?”
At this time, he felt that the Mental Realm was a treasure trove, but unfortunately he didn’t have much ability to excavate it and could only pick up a few surface ores.
Only by taking the office of [Odd Technician] could he travel in the Mental Realm and gain the ability of a miner

“Eh?”
Su Lu glanced at his attribute column and noticed something wrong: “The Soul Trance at LV4 only increased my spirit by 0.6. It’s as if the promotion mark for the [Odd Technician] is too far away, it shouldn’t be…”
“Could it be that the inheritance given to me by Kira is incomplete?”
This is an inheritance found in a relic, and it should be fortunate if the occupation information is intact, it wouldn’t matter if something is missing.
But for Su Lu, it’s a problem.
“In the future… I must find a way to increase the spirit attribute, otherwise, I’m afraid I will hardly reach the [Odd Technician]’s requirement of 5.0!” In this regard, Su Lu has two plans.
The first is, of course, the ubiquitous experience points, but it doesn’t seem worthwhile to simply increase attributes.
The second way is to use the resources of Green Tree Castle’s Inner Circle to exchange for some drugs that increase spirits.
After all, the main path here is [Apprentice], and the spirit attribute is very important. There must be some research in this area.
Moreover, the Mental Realm, which is not affected by the Mystic Lock of Green Tree Castle at all, it’s worth exploring and researching, of course, more caution is needed.
“The path of the [Odd Technician], it seems to be closely related to the spirit realm? Things are becoming more interesting.”
A smile appeared at the corner of Su Lu’s mouth.
In his mind, the choice of the [Spirit Medium] path has tilted.
Time flies quickly.
After a few light snowfalls, the Federated calendar year of 278 officially passed, and a new year has begun.
The New Continent uses a new calendar, stipulating that January 1st each year is National Day, established by the founding father, Stephen. Subsequently, grand celebrations are held in every city on this day, factories and schools also get a day off.
Nia City.
Stephen’s statue stood proudly on the street, clearly having been cleaned and delicately waxed, making it look very new, as if it had just been erected.
The streets are filled with colorfully-decorated floats, the entire city subsumed in a festive ocean in celebration of Founding Day.
Even the ‘upper echelons’ of gentlemen and ladies are out in their finest attire, their behavior slightly manic as if they’re trying to numb themselves from the shadow of the demonic portrait.
In the midst of the revelry, the night falls.
The Church of the Goddess of Light, in the bell tower.
“Such a beautiful city, it could serve as a sacrifice for my lord,” mumbles a gentle-faced priest in ceremonial robes.
He is tall, a sunny smile always on his face, but his words send shivers down the spine.
“You’re right, bishop, our lord will surely fancy this place,” says a shadowy figure, a mass of black liquid materializing out of nowhere and inflating into a human form.
At his words, shock ripples through the room.
This amiable-looking priest is none other than Moron Goebbels, Archbishop of the local Church of the Goddess of Light!
The faith of the Goddess of Light is widespread throughout the world, especially flourishing in the New World.
According to the hierarchy, the highest rank of the church is the Pope, followed by the Cardinal Bishops and the Archbishops of every region.
Moron is the local representative and spokesperson for the Church of the Goddess of Light’s faith; he enjoys a stellar reputation, with rumors circulating that he is a major contender for the next papacy.
“Black KOS!”
Moron looks at the shadowy figure: “You have really disappointed me. The previous contact, that Black, was killed by his own apprentice… His plans were not thorough if I hadn’t deliberately thrown in some spanners like the appearance of the legendary creature at Posey Port, the Federation might have directly noticed you!”
If Su Lu were here, he would have instantly pieced the puzzle together.
Black’s trip to Nia City with a crucial task from the Ancient Snake Society was indeed important – he was the liaison between Moron and the Ancient Snake Society!
And his suspicions were right, the reason why the Church of the Goddess of Light in Nia City mishandled several extraordinary incidents was precisely because there was a traitor among the high ranks!
Even the curse of the demonic portrait was deliberately spread by them to distract attention.
All of these actions were to prepare for tonight, a horrifying and evil conspiracy!
“Fortunately, we still have you, our steadfast and loyal ally!”
The black figure chuckles: “I have brought the ‘Ancient Snake’s Breath’, with it, you can ascend to ‘Legend’! The souls and flesh of this entire city are the best sustenance for us to step into the fifth level! Now is the best time!”
The Dawn of the Extraordinary, the Revival of the Mystical, is a gradual process.
Currently, it is only the beginning.
The more powerful the being, the harder it is to truly awaken and cast influence on the real world.
Once the Dawn of the Gods fully arrives and the will of the gods focuses on reality, Moron’s shenanigans will undoubtedly be detected instantly. “Indeed… You are already a fourth-level [Master of Illusion]!”
Moron’s eyes are devoid of emotion.
This is the advanced level of [Shadow Binder], one step away from becoming the Fifth-order Legend!
“Correct, you too can ‘switch jobs’ with the help of a key item and truly join our camp! In this age, the power of two Legends is enough to gain an advantage and make waves.”
As a high-ranking clergy in the church, Moron’s previous profession naturally leaned towards sainthood, but once fallen, he could become a grave threat.
Moreover, there are some special job transfers that are particularly suited for them, like the [Blasphemous Priest]!
The path of the profession is full of mysteries!
The black shadow cackled, looking in the distance, “Look… It’s starting!”
In the direction he pointed, a fire was igniting, layered with countless howls and cries, slowly muffling the quiet of the night.
Fear and unrest spread, quickly engulfing the entire city!
