Chapter 105: The Holy Grail? The Stigmata War

The invisible force spread to Tingen City. In the Blackthorn Security Company of the Church of Evernight, Leonard covered his forehead.

He didn't know why, but suddenly his forehead felt like it was being stabbed by red-hot needles. The intense pain made him feel so desperate that he felt like he was living a life worse than death.

"Ah..." An old voice sounded, and the next second Leonard's pain disappeared.

"Old man, what happened?" Thinking back to the sudden pain, Leonard felt a sense of fear in his heart.

"What else could it be?" the old man said in a low voice.

"Tingen City...is in trouble."

"What trouble? Cultists, or the coming of an evil god?"

"It would be nice if it were that simple." The old man snorted coldly, and then continued, "Don't think about it. Some things... if you know them, it means... that they know you!"

When you know Him, He knows you.

These words made Leonard feel a chill down his spine.

If this is true, then how powerful of an extraordinary being would be responsible for all this?
Could it be an evil god?

The old man gave an answer. "Maybe."

"Maybe it's God. Oh, and regarding the investigation of the Society of Knowledge... don't investigate it."

"Why?" Leonard was very puzzled.

Before, Klein's words "Amon" made the old man run away like he was having a seizure, which aroused Leonard's suspicion.

Leonard chooses to investigate.

Then, he discovered that the word "Amon" was very closely related to Medea.

With this clue, Leonard decided to investigate Medea and the Society of Knowledge she founded.

As a result, when we were just starting out, the old man told us not to investigate...

Seeing Leonard's desire to know the truth, the old man spoke seriously.

"Don't investigate the Society of Knowledge!"

"Master Boshi... is very dangerous!"

"I see." Leonard nodded, and then he said, "Can I report her?"

Report Medea, how dare you!
The old man replied with a twitching voice: "Don't seek death."

While Leonard was investigating Medea, someone else was also "investigating" her.

This person is Klein’s sister Melissa.

Klein persuaded Melissa not to join the Society of Knowledge, but he did not give a reason, so Melissa became curious about Medea.

Why did Klein do this?

This question made Melissa and Benson decide to investigate Medea.

"Melissa, this is the place Medea has been during this period of time." Benson handed Melissa a notebook with some written content.

“Thank you.” Melissa nodded and nervously flipped through the contents while comparing them with the map of Tingen City.

Benson was bored and watched Melissa's operation. He would occasionally look through his notes and draw lines according to the map. He would also erase and redraw from time to time.

"Melissa, any clues?"

"Ms. Medea lives at this location... She passes by this... this... and this."

Melissa pointed her finger at the map, like a painter drawing a pattern.

"These places are connected together... this is the pattern."

This is a circle, but it is more than a circle.

Countless twisted or curved lines filled the circular pattern. After these flourishing patterns were connected at the first place, they converged into an eyeball with a round pupil.

The Star God of Wisdom, the Lord of Knowledge, is one of the symbols of the Knowledge Society.

As one of the few people who entered the Academy of Knowledge, Melissa looked at the pattern she had drawn with her own hands, her eyes sparkling with curiosity.

"This is... an eye." Benson guessed, "What does this mean?"

"Maybe, maybe it's some kind of..."

Melissa was about to say it when an identical pattern appeared on the back of her right hand. Not only her, but the other six people in Tingen City also received the same symbol.

"What is this?" Melissa had just said this when a series of "related knowledge" suddenly appeared in her mind.

The extraordinary world, the occult, the Church of the Seven, the extraordinary sequence… and this time’s “revelation”.

A revelation from a messenger of the Lord of Knowledge.

It is only necessary to use ritual magic to remove the stigmata on the back of the hands of the other six participants who have also received enlightenment.

Then after collecting all seven sage marks, you will be able to ask the god, Boshizun, a question.

“Wait! I get it!” Melissa grabbed the map on the notebook in her hand and held the paper tightly.

According to the "information" that appeared in his mind, what Medea did was to perform a ritual magic, casting the eyes of the Master of Knowledge on the city of Tingen!

Through the influence of these people in Tingen City and the Academy of Knowledge, by opening the "blasphemy" fruit, let these people guide them to pursue wisdom!
Capital interest groups will start to update and iterate because of this catfish, Bozhi Society, and replace many old production models with industrial machines.

Then, they will greedily pursue knowledge.

After witnessing that "behavior" can bring benefits, ordinary people and extraordinary people in Tingen City will try to pursue knowledge.

Such behavior will attract the attention of the Star God of Wisdom through the ritual magic of Medea, the messenger of the Star God of Wisdom!
“These rituals are like this, but how do these things work…” Melissa frowned.

She couldn't figure out how it worked.

It's like a primitive man sees that he presses the switch of the air conditioner, and the air conditioner starts blowing air, but he cannot understand the operating principle at all.

"Melissa, what happened?" Benson looked at Melissa nervously, a little at a loss.

"The Stigmata War!"

Melissa took a deep breath and explained, "Benson, I understand why Klein asked me not to join the Society of Knowledge."

"why?"

"Medya... Teacher, she is very dangerous."

"Danger?"

"Yes, in the extraordinary world, she is completing a mystical ritual, preparing to promote mystical changes in Tingen City so that the Master of Knowledge will cast a ray of light on her."

"Teacher Medea is the messenger of the Star God, Master of Knowledge. She is preparing to promote changes in the order of Tingen City and make this city pursue knowledge in order to gain the attention of Master of Knowledge."

Seeing Benson's confused look, Melissa told him the whole story.

Medea established the Knowledge Society to let these people spontaneously pursue the benefits gained through knowledge, and let them understand that new knowledge can bring countless benefits... Let everyone have an idea in their hearts - through learning, you can turn over, become a high-ranking capitalist, and enjoy a bright future...

After listening to Melissa's description, Benson nervously grabbed Melissa's right hand.

If this is true, Melissa...will be in danger.

"Melissa, let's leave quickly..."

dong dong~
The door was pushed open, and it was Medea who stood outside.

"As a referee, I will explain to you the relevant rules of the Stigmata War."

"Teacher Medea, what exactly do you want to do?" Melissa finally asked the question that had been weighing on her mind for a long time.

"What to do?" Medea pondered his own identity.

Mr. Boshizun, an envoy of the Boshi Society.

The Secret Sage, one of the Ten Pillars of the Moss Ascetic Order.

The Fool, the Queen of the Tarot Club.

The evil god, the Vortex of Destruction, and his followers who are loyal to him.

Extraordinary Sequence, Sequence Seven Wizard...

These identities all have one thing in common, which is that the source of their derivation is the disguise of the Secret Sage.

and so……

"Knowledge, I crave more knowledge."

Mitia nodded, then smiled gently and said, "If the Master of Knowledge casts a glance, it may create an envoy. I want to know what the envoy's answer is?"

"Okay, now let me tell you the rules of the [Stigmata War]."

　Holy Grail War? No, Stigmata War
