Seeing the change in Eros's expression, Scolem smiled and said:

"It looks like you've made a lot of connections!"

Eros nodded and did not deny: "Your reminder just now made me think of a lot, but at the same time I have a lot of doubts."

Having said that, Eros selectively talked about his previous conjecture.

The Abyss Cult's plot was omitted, and it was only said that the plague seemed to conflict with the Scarlet Cult's goals.

The purpose of his saying this was just to hear Scolem's opinion.

Scolem shook his head, with some doubt in his eyes:

"I am also puzzled by this and cannot understand why they would create such a plague that benefits no one."

At this point, Scolem shook his head and laughed, "Perhaps this was a spontaneous action of that irrational monster."

This seems to be an explanation. After all, it is not surprising that an irrational monster would do anything.

Eros was speechless for a moment.

Neither of them spoke after that, and the air around them suddenly became extremely quiet.

After a long time, Scolem spoke in a gentle tone:

"For the next period of time, you and your family will stay in the shelter under the church."

Eros pretended to be stunned for a moment, then said in a serious tone:

"My blood, my will, and my devotion to God will not allow me to hide away alone when His Lamb is in danger."

"I will be like the other Night Watchmen. When disaster strikes, I will do my best to stabilize the order in the city in the hope of saving more people."

“This is what I should do and what I must do.”

Hearing this, Scolem fell silent. After a while, he raised his left hand, on the back of which a silver ring suddenly appeared, and reached out to grab at the void in front of him.

As he did this, Eros heard the sound of a rushing river and an illusory long river appeared before his eyes.

Scolem glanced to the side out of the corner of his eye, and when he saw that Eros was not affected by the sound of the flow of time, a hint of approval appeared in his eyes.

Without any hesitation, he reached out to grab the river using the mark on the back of his left hand that represented the Ring of Endless Time and the connection with the book.

The next second, a large book with a light golden cover was grabbed out of nothingness by him.

Eros had never seen this thing, but he could guess what it was.

But he couldn't show it now, so he could only show an expression of shock and astonishment.

Scolem reached out and tapped the pale golden cover of the big book. Under Eros's gaze, the book quickly shrank inwards and soon became a palm-sized notebook.

Scolem held the book, which had shrunk to the size of a palm, and handed it to Eros who was standing beside him.

Seeing the shock on Eros's face, Scolem explained in a gentle tone:

"This is a Level 0 sealed artifact of the church, a history book of the ages. You can go to the containment room and look through the documents to find out its specific function later."

"It should be recorded in that document with the highest level of confidentiality."

The pupils on Eros' face shrank suddenly, and he stammered:

"0...0 level seal?"

You have to know that the difference between this thing and a divine weapon is only whether it is alive.

Scolem smiled as he looked at Eros, who was so shocked that he was stuttering, and said in a soothing voice:

"This seal doesn't have any significant negative effects if you just carry it with you. It just makes the person carrying it forget what time it is."

"And its function is to place the carrier in a special time domain, isolating it from pollution from higher beings."

"Since you are unwilling to enter the holding cell under the church, take this book."

“This is too important. I’m only a Sequence 5. What if it gets lost in my hands?” Eros quickly refused.

Scolem smiled nonchalantly and said, "Don't worry, if I lose it, I can use the connection to summon it back from time."

As he spoke, he pointed to Eros at the mark on the back of his left hand that represented the Ring of Endless Time.

Hearing that it would not be lost, Eros suppressed his nervousness and reached out to take the book with a slightly cold surface.

Seeing Eros take it, Scolem seemed to suddenly remember something and said to Eros:

"By the way, remember not to write on the pages of this book, not even with your fingers."

"This will cause you to suffer the backlash of time and get lost in time."

Eros nodded solemnly, indicating that he remembered it.

Scolem hesitated for a moment before continuing:

"I remember there is a sealed object numbered 2-019 in the containment room. Before you leave the church, remember to find Dino and ask him to give it to you."

Sealed Artifact 2——019 [Embrace of Protection]

This seal was once used by Archbishop Dino on Eros's mission to eliminate the Scarlet Cult's messenger.

Therefore, he still had some impression.

After briefly recalling the information about this seal, Eros nodded to Scolem and said:

"I remember."

Scolem hummed softly.

Today Eros had only come to ask the Son of Fear if he had any new discoveries, but he unexpectedly got this history book of the years.

Although there were some unexpected events, the course of events was ultimately within my control.

He can now move around reasonably in the outside world instead of having to stay in the underground containment room and wait for the incident to be over.

Since the goal had been achieved, Eros said goodbye to Scolem. Scolem did not try to keep him, but continued to look into the distance, and no one knew what he was looking at.

After Eros disappeared from the bell tower, a childish voice began to sound in the surrounding air:

"Why did you agree to let the seeds of this world tree stay outside?"

"Even though he has the protection of the History Book of Ages and the Level 2 Seal, I still feel this is very dangerous."

Hearing this childish voice, Scolem hesitated for a moment before answering:

"When he mentioned his bloodline just now, I suddenly thought of something. Since he is the heir chosen by the World Tree, do you think the World Tree has already arranged everything in secret?"

"In this case, will our intervention actually slow down his growth?"

"But... hasn't the World Tree been outside the world since the beginning of the Third Era, with no time to care about anything else?" The childish voice was full of confusion when it said this.

Scolem's lips curled up slightly, and he said leisurely: "My mother once said something to me, you should have heard it too."

"Oh? What sentence do you mean, young master?" the childish voice asked curiously.

"Always believe in the power of God." Scolem smiled with deep eyes.

"Especially since he is a ruler, a being greater than the Great One."

"Tell me, if He really has no time to take care of other things, then why did a seed of the World Tree suddenly appear at the end of the Fifth Era?"

"This..." After hearing the meaningful words of his young master, the childish voice hesitated for a moment.

Scolem smiled and changed the subject, "Don't worry! We will stop the Sequence 1 of the Scarlet Cult."

"As for the others, he already has the strength of a Sequence 5, and has a Level Sealed Item that suits him very well. With the history books of time to isolate him from high-level pollution, he will be fine."
