Chapter 10 - Code 0-08

Don't know why I even attempted to translate this chapter, but since I went ahead did anyway, here, take it....

.....

As the two went up, Hidal could no longer hear them and they soon vanished from his sight. The names of the two men however, were linked to the names he remembered in his mind.

They are Sirius Arapis and Hanass Vincent. The former is a cloth merchant, while the latter is one of the main members of the Hall Street Divination Club.

In addition to these identities, they also have another more secret identity, they are part of a hidden organization that believes in the 'True Creator', members of the Aurora Order.....

Hidal slowed down his eating speed as he was lost in thought thinking of the fact that Sirius had his left hand pressed against his abdomen just now, 'Could it be that inside his clothes he hid the Antigonus Family's Notebook?'

'There's still a long time before Zhou Mingrui comes down. It seems that they are still studying the notes and haven't sold them to Klein's classmate Welch.'

'Wait a minute, the Antigonus Family's Notebook has appeared, doesn't that mean that Ince Zangwill has also arrived with 0-08?', Hidal instantly became alert.

This implies that now the Antigonus Family's Notebook is under the monitoring and arrangements of 0-08.

With his current Sequence 9 strength, if 0-08 notices him, it is highly likely that he will also fall victim to it's arrangements. Even if he has Heaven, it will still be difficult to resist. At least that's what he thinks.

Even if he wants to save Dunn from 0-08, it is best to act behind the scenes and not let 0-08 detect him, otherwise as long as he is part of it's arrangements, let alone saving Dunn, he may not even be able to save himself.

Klein is the best example of this!

"Don't think about it, don't think about it! If I know it, it knows me, the more I know it, the more likely I will be included in the story!" Hidal forcibly disrupted his thoughts so that he would not think about anything relating to 0-08.

Although the "Priest" has the ability to counter divination and has anti-prophecy, even with the blessing of Heaven he is only a Sequence 9 Beyonder, and 0-08 is a Sequence 1 Artifact, way above his capability.

Hidal's thoughts were in shambles and this resulted in him losing his appetite for a while. He hurriedly took two bites of his food and hastily left the restaurant. He got into the carriage and returned home and buried himself in his quilt.

This action gave him a little sense of security, insignificant as it may be, it did bring him some comfort.

After thinking for a while, Hidal got off the bed, caressed his chest with his left hand and put the four fingers of his right hand on his forehead.

"The power of!"

The words spoken by Hidal are not the official language of Loen, but the ancient Hermes language. He is doing a "prayer". One of the abilities of the "Priest" is to can bring appropriate good luck to dispel inner darkness, that is, negative emotions.

After praying, Hidal found that the fear in his heart suddenly abated and something seemed to bless him, which relieved Hidal.

"Tomorrow morning I will go to the underground trading market and buy back all the materials I need, as well as the pistol!"

Hidal has gained a lot from the Book of Blasphemy in Heaven. In addition to reading the knowledge of psychics and divination at the beginning, he also learned ritual magic, sacrificial rituals, gifting rituals, and spell making rituals.

He plans to buy materials for making rituals tomorrow as well as a sterling silver pendulum for divination. Of course he will also buy some materials for ritual magic, sacrificial rituals and gifting rituals.

Thinking about it, Hidal suddenly remembered that he hadn't finished reading the Book of Blasphemy, "I will go to Heaven tomorrow and have a look. After I have learned all the knowledge, there should be something I can use later. I must also find out how to act as a 'Priest' so as to digest the potion quickly." This has been weighing heavily on Hidal's mind, "ah, I should also search for the main ingredient for the 'Exorcist' potion. The underground trading market is not a viable option for this, so I have to find a way to get it from other channels."

Still, the main problem is how to act as a 'Priest'. According to his previous life's knowledge, Hidal thinks that a priest may be somewhat similar to a missionary or even the standard Catholic priests.

"So I have to spread the Lord's miracles and attract others to believe in the gods I believe in? I can try this, but whose miracles should I spread, the Evernight Goddess? The Lord of Storms? Or the Eternal Blazing Sun?"

"The Eternal Blazing Sun is a no go, and I can't risk exposing myself to the Church of Storms, I'm afraid they will sink me into the sea and feed me to the fishes..."

"I can also act similarly to 'The Fool' by giving myself an honorable name and create my own religion and organization..."

Thinking of this, Hidal felt that it was not impossible, and most importantly he also needed faith as an "anchor" in the future, especially if he is to stand a fighting chance against the "Primordial One" should "His" will awaken in the future.

'So instead of promoting others, I should promote myself!'

However, this can only be publicized quietly and carefully, otherwise as long as the Orthodox Churches get to sniff even a whiff of my activities, I'll either be reduced to a lab rat or suffer a fate much worse that I can't even imagine it!

"I feel like I'm about to become an 'evil god' in other people's minds. Is a new secret organization about to emerge in the world of Mysteries?"

"Is there a place for me to spread my faith?" Hidal sighed and lay back on his bed, "How should I even go about spreading my faith and my honorable name?"

Hidal, who was lying on the bed, looked at the ceiling, his thoughts scattered, and after a long time the corners of his mouth lifted as he laughed.

He suddenly thought of a place that was too suitable for his mission.

Forsaken Land of the Gods!

In the Land Forsaken of the Gods, the seven Gods are isolated and cannot intervene at all. The "True Creator" is already mad and has no need for the belief of the people in the Forsaken Land of the Gods.

Therefore, those who are still alive in the Forsaken Land of the Gods basically still believe in the "Original Creator" of the City of Silver.

"When I entered Heaven today, I passed through the void, and a sphere like scene emerged, full of praying people from the Forsaken Land of the Gods. I can use this to try and establish a connection with them! Maybe I can use the power of Heaven to help them since the Sefirot seems to be already is connected to them."

Hidal thought of this and wanted to try it now, but soon gave up the thought because he had just come down from Heaven not long ago, his spirituality has not yet recovered and he has experienced too many things today, his current mental state is not very good.

"I'll just have to wait until tomorrow then, after reading the Book of Blasphemy, I'll give it a go!"

After making the decision, Hidal covered himself with the quilt. He began to meditate in his mind, and fell asleep after a while.

...

Two men are sitting in the living room on the first floor of a single-family house at No.19 on the Hall Street. On top the guest table in front of them is a notebook with a cover made entirely of dark black cardboard in an antique style.

These two were precisely the same individuals that Hidal saw in the restaurant, Sirius and Hanass, and the notebook on the table was naturally the Antigonus family's notebook.

Both of them looked at the notes on the table with frenzy visible on their faces. These were the notes that they had finally exchanged from Mr. Z for their hard work. The notes that just arrived today.

And they took so much effort to get this notebook because they learned from Mr. Z that a member of the Secret Order accidentally bought the Antigonus family's notebook as an ordinary ancient book. Now, in order to get it back, the Secret Order has dispatched a large number of people.

They heard that there is precious information in the notebook, but ordinary people can't interpret it.
