I opened an adventurer's guild in another world.

Edward looked at the newcomer and felt reassured.

The elderly woman who approached was the Pope from the Temple of Mages, and also the spokesperson of the gods who could communicate with the god of mages and receive divine pronouncements.

In this war that affected all forces in Angomulos, the Temple of Mages provided significant assistance to the Otto Empire on the battlefield.

When Anno came to find him, Edward's confidants went to the Temple of the Wizards to ask for reinforcements.

After all, at the time, no one knew whether Anno was good or bad.

Even now, Edward isn't sure if Anno has any other motives in mind.

"Greetings, Ancient God."

After Karina, the wielder of the Mage God, entered, she immediately bowed to Anno.

When Anno entered the capital of the Otto Empire, he made no attempt to conceal his presence.

Karina, who was located inside the Temple of the Mage in the Imperial Capital, naturally sensed it as well.

She immediately contacted the God of Magic.

After that darkest hour when she couldn't contact the gods, Karina was grateful that she could communicate with the mage god again, which meant that her god still existed.

Many of the gods enshrined in other temples no longer exist.

After communicating with the God of Mages, Karina learned that the deity in the capital was a powerful ancient god.

Karina, who was praised so highly by the God of Mages, naturally dared not be presumptuous in front of Anno.

"I am Karina, a devout follower of the Mage God. The Mage God has asked me to convey her greetings to you."

"You're a little late!"

When Anno didn't conceal his presence, he had considered that someone from the temple might come looking for him.

Because he wasn't just looking for ninth-tier protectors from Edward; he wanted protectors from all the factions.

"Feel sorry!"

Hearing Anno's somewhat reproachful tone, Karina's wrinkled face showed a hint of unease.

"Enough with the nonsense. Gather all the ninth-tier protectors of your Mage Temple. I will communicate with the Mage God about this matter."

When Anno saw that Karina nodded after only a few seconds of silence, he knew that the God of Mages must have informed Karina beforehand.

Although Anno has already gotten to know the native gods, many forces in Angorum only know of a powerful being named Anno, but not of a god named Anno.

Even with Anno concealing his own laws, no one knows what divine position Anno has achieved to this day.

Even among the native gods, Anno is referred to as the Ancient God.

Clearly, the ancient god, this unfamiliar deity, could not be trusted by Edward completely.

But now, with Karina's testimony, Edward's doubts have completely vanished.

Edward quickly issued orders to summon all the protectors of the Otto Empire who were loyal to the royal family to the capital, and at the same time issued a notice to all towns within the Otto Empire to summon free protectors to the capital.

While Edward was busy, Anno, led by Karina and the KGB, found the Summoner faction located in the capital.

While Karina and the KGB waited outside the Summoning Temple, Anno went in alone and found Philomena staring blankly at the statue of Amidorn.

Hearing the noise behind her, Philomena turned around and looked at the knight who was both familiar and unfamiliar, asking in confusion, "Lord Anno?"

The last time she met Anno was when she was helping the dwarves defend the city in the Forgotten Mountains.

Anno was also wearing similar knight armor at the time, except that he was transformed from Little M.

This suit of armor is clearly made of the real thing, but the countless eyes on it are still constantly moving, which looks a bit creepy.

That's why Philomena wasn't sure if the person in front of her who hadn't taken off his helmet was Anno.

"It's me!"

Anno looked at Philomena, feeling a pang of sadness.

The summoning god who once guided him is now just a ninth-tier summoner.

However, the fact that Philomena was able to become the third generation of the Summoning God indicates that she had a very good relationship with the second generation.

However, Anno did not remove his helmet.

He couldn't avoid seeing these "acquaintances," but he also wanted to minimize his presence in this era. This era could have an ancient god of unknown origin, but the summoner Anno needed to reduce his presence as much as possible—currently, only a small number of people knew that the ancient god was the former Anno, and none had ever seen the ancient god's face.

Philomena had seen Anno's face before, but neither the KGB officers and Karina waiting outside had. Now that a group of summoners had gathered around Philomena, Anno naturally wouldn't take off his helmet.

"You've finally arrived!"

Philomena breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing the familiar voice.

"Philomena, I have come to find the body of the Swiftwalker of the Summoning God, Amidorn."

Anno swept his gaze over the numerous summoners surrounding Philomena, his eyes on the front of his armor constantly darting around the crowd. Coupled with the powerful aura emanating from Anno, many of the weaker summoners couldn't help but tremble.

Do you know which of the current summoners was once the vessel of the Summoning God?

Upon hearing Anno's question, Philomena chuckled and said, "Didn't you come to me because you knew I was just a shell?"
