Players are coming, fortunately I have a time travel simulator

This was the first time someone called him "Your Majesty"... It seemed that Stuart Crow already knew that he had become an angel.

Zhou Ning nodded calmly and followed the white-robed priest.

The white-robed priest was called Ivan, a very common Braxton name. He was a church deacon whose status was less than that of a demigod. He had black hair and a very thick beard. He kept his head down the whole time and behaved very humbly.

Apart from praying and preaching, Stuart usually stayed deeper in St. Raymond's Church, which was not open to ordinary day watchers and believers, and Zhou Ning had never been there before.

Along the way, we passed many powerful guards, and heavy doors opened automatically, as if to welcome the arrival of distinguished guests.

During this process, Zhou Ning saw some demigod figures, and occasionally there were beast-like roars coming from somewhere.

What surprised Zhou Ning was that while passing by, he sensed a large amount of spiritual light belonging to unknown strange objects. The number was not small. It seemed that the Ascetic Church had a very deep foundation.

Just like outside, there are still no lights in the depths of the church. Only the sunlight shines in through the stained glass windows high up, bringing a strong sense of sacredness.

In a magnificent palace, Zhou Ning saw Stuart Crow. He still held the scepter of Saint Zachary in his hand and was examining a tattered piece of clothing. When he saw Zhou Ning, he put the item aside, stood up with a smile, and greeted Zhou Ning:

"Welcome, we meet again. I never thought that in just seven months, you've gone from being less than a demigod to an angel walking on the earth. What brings you to the Ascetic Church?"

"Just good luck." Zhou Ning shook his head and said, after a pause, he rolled up his sleeves and showed Stuart Crow the contamination on the edge of his palm, smiling.

"I came to visit you to see if there is any way to eliminate this pollution."

Zhou Ning then added:

"Now I have this constant whisper in my ears, urging me to go somewhere. Of course, I don't think about listening to him."

Stuart Crow nodded without refusing. He examined Zhou Ning for a moment and said to him:

"The source of this pollution is of a higher status than I imagined, but it's not impossible to eliminate it. Where did you become contaminated?"

"On an island deep in the sea of ​​fog, when the angel promotion ceremony was held." Zhou Ning said frankly.

"Deep in the Sea of ​​Misty Sea? That island? No wonder..." Stuart Crow gripped Saint Zachary's scepter tightly, raised it towards Zhou Ning, and said in a deep voice:

"That was once the sacred place where the goddess was born. Legend has it that there is a hidden gate to the divine realm."

"But now it's a restricted area for supernatural powers. The higher your status, the easier it is to lose control there.

"I once read the name of this island in a book. It was named by an ancient king who landed on this island...

"Rav Drew."

Zhou Ning:?

Zhou Ning's first reaction to hearing Stuart Crow's words was absurdity.

After all, I've read One Piece, and isn't Raftel the location of the One Piece world's great hidden treasure? This is just too much fun, isn't it?

If I'm not mistaken, it was the Pirate King Zhou Ning who landed on that island during the simulation and left this name out of a bad taste.

So where did the golden eyes that pleaded for help in his dream, the pollution source on the island, and the whispers calling for landing come from? Why did a projection of the island appear in Nathaniel's underground ruins? How did the little book end up on the island before being picked up by Karl Robbins? Who wrote it? And who prevented it from revealing the story of the island?

While Zhou Ning was full of curiosity about the island, he couldn't help but feel a tingling sensation on his scalp.

As a branch of the power of destiny and the owner of the power of wishing, he also has a certain perception of fate. Now he has a strong premonition that fate will eventually lead him to Raftel, which has the same name as the final island in "One Piece".

It seems that I have to be promoted to the Angel King as soon as possible.

Stuart Crow didn't realize that Zhou Ning had thought of so many things in an instant. He raised the scepter of Saint Zachary, and a blazing white light shot out from the top of the scepter, shooting towards Zhou Ning's body, bathing him in the blazing holy light.

In addition to enhancing the effects of word spells, Saint Zachary's scepter can also amplify the effects of holy light spells.

Zhou Ning saw black tumors slowly bulging out from the edges of his palms, one after another. Then, suddenly, bursts of black smoke emerged, rising upwards accompanied by hair-raising screams.

Almost at the same time, Zhou Ning felt a chill on his back and had a premonition of danger.

He saw translucent black shadows hovering in the air, which did not disperse for a long time and even showed a tendency to converge again.

But at that moment, the enormous sun emblem hanging above the hall suddenly shone with a brilliant beam of light, enveloping the shadows in the golden sunlight, completely dissolving them. Is this the power of the Ascetic Church?

This process was repeated four or five times. Zhou Ning saw that all the pollution on the edge of his palm had been eliminated. Although the mumbling in his ears still continued, its frequency was greatly reduced.

"Okay."

Stuart Crow let out a long sigh, put away his scepter, and said in a deep voice.

"Thank you for your help."

Zhou Ning thanked him solemnly, straightened his cuffs, and unconsciously smiled. As expected, every profession has its own specialty. The problem that had troubled him for so long was finally solved.

"Besides this, I have something else to tell you.

"A fallen righteous god who intends to return has arrived in Darkland and is most likely in the Church of the Goddess of Life. Please keep an eye on the Church of the Goddess of Life and the Church of Life Alchemy."

"I suspect Harrison Rivers's previous transformation was also related to them."

This wasn't Zhou Ning's intention to conceal something, but rather a tacit rule: one shouldn't address the gods directly, nor should one speak ill of them. He could only inform them in a roundabout way.

"A fallen righteous god?" Stuart Crow looked slightly shocked, then smiled wryly. "Actually, there are some strange signs in Darkland right now. More and more people are going missing, and more and more strange and unknown objects are appearing inexplicably."

He held up the worn-out clothing he had been playing with to Zhou Ning. "This is one of these unknown artifacts. The original owner was an ordinary coachman. Wearing it makes you feel like you're being looked down upon by a high-ranking official. If you keep wearing it for too long, you'll be completely devoured by it."

It sounds a bit like it's been contaminated by an evil spirit. Zhou Ning listened to him quietly and said in a deep voice, "I just read the relevant reports. A total of five people are missing from Wake University and the old city?"

Stuart shook his head and said, "That was just a statement to avoid panic. The number of missing people is actually twenty-two. Most of them are young men."

Zhou Ning narrowed his eyes slightly. This was a bit serious. It was almost certain that the forces hidden behind the scenes had some plans for Daklan. This city was really full of disasters... Zhou Ning couldn't help but sigh.

"If anything happens, contact me immediately."

After chatting with Stuart Crowe for a few words, Zhou Ning chose to leave St. Raymond's Church.
