Players are coming, fortunately I have a time travel simulator

In the garden of the Holy Star Cathedral, Polly was almost crying from waiting.

At noon, out of politeness, Polly accepted the lunch of a Chosen One. But just after he took a bite, he was surrounded by a group of Chosen Ones. Polly almost peed himself. He thought he had eaten something he shouldn't have and was being set up.

Then he was surrounded by a series of questions such as "Do you want to eat?" and "Do you have any tasks?". Especially when he went to the bathroom, he could feel their eager eyes through the door. From time to time, someone asked quietly:

"Do you want to pass on some paper? Ah? We've taken all the paper inside."

"These damn Chosen Ones! How rude!" Polly finished using the toilet and, feeling rather distressed, took out a five-dollar Victa note. To avoid profanity, he carefully flipped it over to the side without the King's portrait and used it. He then rinsed it in the sink.

Polly grinned and issued a quest to exchange 5 Vekta for change. "Don't the Chosen Ones demand their own quests and rewards?" The Sun Guardians are true gentlemen, and won't lay hands on the weak. "I'm going to choke you to death."

But what made him feel both relieved and disappointed was that the attentive attitude of the chosen ones towards him did not last long. When Rich Burke, Leandro and a lady named Kelly arrived, he fell out of favor, and the group of chosen ones swarmed towards them.

"Mr. Polly, have you also joined the Starry Sky Church?" Leonardo pushed through the crowd, walked towards Polly, and asked curiously.

"...No. His Majesty Wayne asked me to wait for him here." Polly curled his lips and asked, "How about you? How are you doing in the Starry Sky Church?"

"It's great. The people here are very nice to me and good at talking to me. The salary is also very high, twice what I made as a Sunwatcher," Leonardo said with a smile. "I forgot to mention that I'm now a deacon of the Starry Sky Church, effectively the equivalent of a high deacon, responsible for managing the stargazers. Once I achieve angel status, I'll officially become a high deacon and also be in charge of a quasi-miraculous item."

"Fuck!" Polly gasped, suppressing his envy. He suddenly didn't want to talk to him anymore. A year ago, Leandro was still a newcomer to the Sun Guard.

It was almost seven o'clock when a beam of light descended from the sky and Zhou Ning appeared from it.

"Ian is dead. Go back and tell Patriarch Stuart Crow that his true identity is Cumberland, the self-immolating Archbishop of the Church of the Goddess of Life. The god he believed in resurrected him."

"As for Daklan's recent disappearance, I have some clues. It is most likely related to the Church of the Goddess of Life. The partners include the Life Alchemy Society, the Daklan Royal Family, the Craftsmen and Alchemy Association, and the Retreat. I will tell him the specific details in person." Zhou Ning pointed to the sky and said calmly to Polly.

If Zhou Ning guessed correctly, a religious war should be inevitable.

Polly immediately realized the seriousness of the matter. This matter must be related to a certain god, and it was a matter that absolutely could not be discussed. He didn't know what happened afterwards, but he believed in Wayne Sternwell's character and believed that he had no reason to deceive himself. So, after taking a breath, he nodded and said:

"Okay, I will convey your words to the Patriarch verbatim."

Afterwards, Polly was silent for a moment, then looked at Zhou Ning and said, "I also have some information I want to share with you. However, as a Sun Guardian, I cannot allow myself to reveal this information to anyone other than you."

The players who were listening attentively and trying to get clues to the main quest were suddenly furious. Where is the most basic trust between people?

Zhou Ning nodded slightly, reached out and grabbed his arm, and instantly teleported to a quiet room at the bottom of the church.

"Now you can say it."

Polly nodded, sorted out his thoughts a little, and said:

"Your Majesty, my message is that last night I saw His Majesty's confidant, Baron Gold, a member of Parliament, and a priest from the Church of the Goddess of Life riding in the same car from the Old City to the Dockland Fortress. Sitting with them was an elderly man with white hair and beard, wearing a hood. Incidentally, that elderly man was quite tall, around 2 to 4 meters tall."

"2 to 4 meters?" Zhou Ning immediately grasped this key information. Northerners, descendants of giants, and elves could all reach this height. Could it be Goodwin? Zhou Ning's thoughts raced, trying to find useful information in every word the other person said. "Tell me the details?"

"Okay," Polly said without hesitation. "It was around 9:40 last night. I was just returning from St. Raymond's Cathedral to the neighboring grocery store when I saw a very ordinary horse-drawn carriage. I wouldn't have noticed it at first, but it had really bad luck. Streetlights kept falling, gas explosions, and all kinds of disasters struck along the way. Until the wildebeest pulling the carriage lost control and crashed into a house nearby, causing a car accident. Only then did I get a clear look at the passengers inside."

"They then walked to their destination, heading towards a neighborhood near Docklands Fortress. You may have heard of this neighborhood's name: Levia Street."

Polly glanced at Zhou Ning and added:

"That's a street very close to the Darkland Fortress. It's where the nobles of the Kingdom of Bryston gather. Ten of the fourteen legendary families live on this street. But since the Darkland catastrophe, after several rounds of cleansing, many of the houses on this street are vacant."

That's a very detailed description... It sounds like they were affected by the Mark of Doom. Miracles are truly powerful to you... Even at a distance, if someone shows overt ill will towards you, they'll be silently affected, even angels are no exception.

I'm afraid only God can ignore the impact to a certain extent.

As for Levia Street... As far as he knew, there was nothing wrong with what Polly said. The clan families he knew, the "Justice" West family, the "Proud" Lambert family, and the "Will" Rivers family who defected and were killed by him, all lived there.

Having been tainted with the mark of bad luck and having preliminarily narrowed down the scope, I can only say that this information is very important to me, allowing me to find the other party's hiding place in a relatively simple way.

Sure enough, at this time the taskbar has come with a prompt:

[A-level serial main quest: Shadow of Death has been updated.]

[Note: The large number of missing people in Dockland has caught your attention. This incident seems to be related to an old friend of yours and involves a huge conspiracy. Try to find the truth of this matter. It may not be as simple as most people think.]

[Current Mission Objective 1: Hunt down John Cumberland and torture him. (Completed)]

[Current Mission Objective 2: Listen to Polly's intelligence. (Completed)]

[Current mission reward: 1450 million experience points, 1 item reward. Do you want to claim it? Yes/No?]

The next stage of the mission will most likely be updated after claiming the rewards. After reviewing the panel prompts one by one, Zhou Ning smiled and nodded at Polly:

"Thank you for the information you provided. It is very helpful to me."

"So do you want to go back to Xilin Grocery Store next?"

"Please take me back to Wittscher Church Square!" Polly said hurriedly. After last night's dream, he no longer felt safe in the basement of Xilin Grocery Store.

The next second, he disappeared from the spot.
