Chapter 28: I Have a Blessed

The silver-white serpent looked down at Audrey from above and opened its blood-red mouth.

“The Sequence 1 potion consumed by the leader of the Secret Order, Zaratul, came from an Attendant of Mysteries. In other words, He occupies an extra Miracle Invoker Beyonder characteristic.

“The same was true of the original ancestor of the Antigonus family. Of course, if They have a favored target They are willing to cultivate, as angels of sufficiently high status, They can split off the excess Miracle Invoker Beyonder characteristic on Their own and give it to that target.

“The third Miracle Invoker Beyonder characteristic combined with a characteristic of mysterious origin and became sealed artifact 0-05, also known as the Wishing Lamp… A true god once attempted to destroy this item and cause the characteristics to separate and reconverge individually, but failed.

“The fourth and fifth Miracle Invoker Beyonder characteristics respectively exist in the form of Grade 0 sealed artifacts within the Churches of the Eternal Blazing Sun and the Lord of Storms. One is codenamed 0-13. It originated from the Creator of the Third Epoch and is called the Last Banquet. The other is codenamed 0-32. It is a product of the War of the Four Emperors and is named the Theater That Never Closes.

“The sixth Miracle Invoker Beyonder characteristic may be in the Forsaken Land of the Gods. During the Third Epoch, a surviving Dark Demonic Wolf occasionally appeared there. After the Cataclysm, all trace of it was completely lost.”

Audrey listened with great attention. After thinking carefully for a moment, she said, “You said that, when Attendant of Mysteries is full, there can only be six Miracle Invokers. And currently, among the Sequence 1 Attendants of Mysteries, you only mentioned Zaratul, leader of the Secret Order, and the ancestor of the Antigonus family. It does not seem to be full.

“Under such circumstances, perhaps there are still extra Miracle Invoker Beyonder characteristics.”

This was not something The World Gehrman Sparrow had reminded her of beforehand. Rather, Audrey had thought of the question herself by starting from the details of the other party’s answer and combining it with the mysticism knowledge she possessed.

The blood-red eyes of the silver-white serpent moved faintly.

“Indeed. When full, there should be three Attendants of Mysteries.

“But during the Second Epoch, when the ancient god Flegrea was still alive, the third Attendant of Mysteries Beyonder characteristic had already practically gone missing. No existence knows its whereabouts. The corresponding Miracle Invoker Beyonder characteristic is the same. Perhaps it has already combined with it, or perhaps it found a sufficiently hidden method and concealed itself.”

Audrey nodded lightly.

“I understand. I will pass this information on to Mr. Dawn Dantès.

“Um… He also asked me to ask whether you need his help with anything?”

The silver-white serpent slithered upward in a circle. One-third of its body rose upright.

“No.

“Just a small matter.

“Mm, I have a blessed. He is an outstanding gourmet. He has a wish: to taste the ice cream of different noble families and judge which one is the most delicious.”

…This request… Mr. Serpent, er, perhaps Madam Serpent, really treats Their blessed well… His tone sounds like He can hardly wait… Mm… This is too simple. I can agree on Mr. World’s behalf and complete it myself. I’ll treat it as accumulating merit toward the potion formula… Audrey thoughtfully opened her mouth.

“No problem.

“But how should I give the ice cream to him?”

The silver-white serpent slowly coiled as it said, “Sacrifice it to him. He is already a Sequence 3 saint and can accept sacrifices from within the same city.

“His honorific name is: Embodiment of Luck, Monster Who Foresees the Future, Disaster Who Spreads Misfortune, Witness of All Fate in Backlund, Keeper of Chaos and Madness.”

This honorific name is somewhat…
