Chapter 97 I'm watching over the angels?
Guarding the Gates of Charnis is actually a tough job.
The power of the Charnis Gate will corrupt the body of those who approach it. If this corruption continues for a long time, the body will be assimilated by the power of the Charnis Gate, and one will be unable to stay away from the Charnis Gate for the rest of their life.
Behind the Gate of Charnis, the sealed artifacts need to be studied, the extraordinary materials need to be organized, and all kinds of mysterious knowledge and potion recipes need to be properly preserved.
These also require people with sufficient qualifications and knowledge to be in charge.
The number of researchers in the church is actually not large, and it is, to some extent, a high-risk profession.
Night watchmen don't always encounter dangerous supernatural events.
The researchers' work, however, revolves around what is sealed within the Gate of Chanis.
Dangerous, unfree, restricted.
Bishop Elektra has made it very clear, but Chael still wants to be promoted to the order of rank.
Chael did not actually understand the bishop's concerns.
He has been elevated to be a listener, to remain behind the Gate of Charnis to avoid hearing the whispers of the evil gods.
This is understandable, but a listener's high sensitivity means they are also very sensitive to danger and more easily hurt.
Therefore, in Xia'er's view, he was just changing the location of his shift.
Others are unwilling to perform their duties in dark, cold, and signal-free places.
He can go.
"In that case, you shall swear before the goddess's holy emblem that you will not reveal the secret of the acting method."
What could Bishop Elektra say when he saw that Chael was willing to endure hardship?
"Acting method?"
Xia Er blinked. When did he say he would play the role of a lawyer?
"It's a meditation method that you discover on your own, where you pray to the goddess and your mind is soothed."
The bishop coughed lightly, giving a hint.
He hopes that Chael will get through the listener phase soon.
Church records indicate that normal listeners who do not advance in rank for a long time are more likely to die.
Sequence 7, the hermit, is actually safer than Sequence 8, the listener.
"Ah, oh, I understand."
With the bishop's hints, Chael figured out the method of role-playing on his own.
"Then swear an oath. Your comprehension is quite good. There aren't many people in the church who can comprehend the art of acting on their own."
The bishop emphasized the words "self-realization."
Chael's lips twitched, vowing never to reveal the acting method.
After returning to his office, he chatted with Senior Gray for a few more minutes.
Senior Gray was clearly reluctant to part with Xia Er, and said she would definitely wait for him to come out, making Xia Er sound like he was in prison.
Chael invited her to work behind the Charnis Gate, but the woman shook her head and refused. He smiled and continued with his work.
The church's approval was granted very quickly.
The extraordinary materials related to the Secret Prayer in the Church of the Night's inventory used to gather dust.
Now there's a way to clear out the inventory; the materials were even found by Chael himself rummaging through the back of the Charnis Gate.
After quickly mixing the potion, I looked at the dark, bubbling thing in my hand.
Xia Er thought it was just cola.
"Come with me."
After Bishop Elektra saw that Chael had prepared the potion, he led him to a rather small room in the basement, which looked like it used to be used for storing something.
"You can take the potion here. After you're here, the room will be sealed off to ensure you don't hear anything you shouldn't hear during your advancement."
"If you lose control, I will pray for you myself."
The bishop glanced at Chael, left the room, and activated the corresponding ritual, drawing upon the power of the Gate of Charnis.
The room was sealed off.
"Are they using me as a sealing artifact?"
Xia Er glanced around. This room, even smaller than the washroom, must have been used to store sealed artifacts.
He shook the potion in his hand; the temperature inside the Gate of Charnis was lower, and the potion had cooled down.
As Shael approached, one could still see invisible black threads slowly eroding anything with a spirit.
A dull mouth.
The cold potion slid into his abdomen.
The room prepared by the Church of the Night for the sealed artifact was very useful. Shael's senses were also suppressed. During the ascension, he did not hear the rap of the true creator.
"Listeners can all gain some unique abilities from the corresponding great beings."
Xia'er thought of the "paper-making" ability she had obtained from the "Fool" or the Gray Mist Space, and the "wizard spells" she had obtained from the Hidden Sage. What could the Goddess of Night offer?
Not sleeping?
Wolf King in the Middle of the Night?
Disturbing your sweet dreams?
He planned that if he ever needed to use his dream-entering ability in the future, he would say it was a gift from the Goddess of the Night.
After briefly organizing the knowledge contained in the potion, Bishop Elektra opened the room.
Seeing that Xia Er seemed a little distracted, the worry that had been rising in his heart eased somewhat.
He was afraid of seeing Xia Er lose control, or act as if nothing was wrong.
"In the future, try to—I mean, it's best not to actively use the skill of 'listening'."
"The most dangerous hurdle has been overcome," the bishop reiterated.
Xia Er nodded, saying that it wasn't really anything special.
There's also the possibility that he might not understand, since he hasn't studied Russian. It would be better if he were speaking Old Vysak.
"Your future job will be very simple."
"It was just a simple inspection."
"Inspect certain specific rooms."
The bishop gestured for Chael to come out with him.
He led Chael down the stairs.
At first, Xia Er didn't think much of it, but when he felt the pressure from the Gate of Charnis increasing as he went down, he looked at the bishop in shock.
He was a newly promoted Sequence 8, heading towards a place where Level 1 Sealed Artifacts were plentiful.
Isn't that a bit impolite?
"Your daily task is to periodically examine the interior of seals 1-80 through seals 1-29 to see if they are intact."
"After completing this task, you can borrow some books to pass the time."
Bishop Elektra led Chael to the lowest level, which was large but not very spacious. The floor was covered with runes symbolizing the stars and the moon, and all the facilities were designed to serve the inner rooms.
"Is this all I need to do?"
Xia Er didn't know what expression to make.
This is not the duty room he had imagined.
To have him keep an eye on "Mother Heaven"? And report on her at any time?
He reported it to the authorities?
Why did you make him do this job?
Is he a follower of the Mystic Path?
That's fine then. It's just shift work, right? Let's do shift work then.
Under the bishop's guidance, Chael approached pages 1-29, which resembled a crystal ball, and through the crystal ball...
Seal item 1-80 was observed; it was a colorful bubble.
The inside of the bubble was unclear, but Xia Er increased her inspiration and saw a young woman with black hair. She was beautiful, expressionless, and sleeping quietly inside, like a living angel.
