Chapter 224: High-Quality Audience Lynn

'The battle seems to be of a high level... possibly involving Sequence 2... One side was the Rose School of Thought's Zatwen, and the other side... the Mystery Pryer pathway?'

This familiar pathway made Archbishop Anthony's eyebrows twitch. Although the Sword of the Goddess had always been responsible for a certain Angel of Secrets, as the head of the Saint Samuel Catheral in the Backlund diocese, Archbishop Anthony could not ignore it, especially since he had received some revelations from the Goddess.

Therefore, Archbishop Anthony was very clear that the Goddess had a special attitude towards this Angel of Secrets and was generally friendly. So, he could basically regard the other party as a semi-ally of the church.

However, even seeing the other as an ally, Archbishop Anthony genuinely felt that the other party was extremely troublesome.

If he remembered correctly, the other party had recently reported a grand conspiracy to assassinate Duke Negan to the church. Earlier, they had thwarted the descent event of the True Creator, and even earlier was the ambassador incident... Although rationality told Archbishop Anthony that the Angel of Secrets had always done good deeds and these matters were most likely unrelated to the Angel.

But causing so many things in such a short period was still difficult for Archbishop Anthony to not have a subtle feeling.

'Fortunately, the Goddess did not assign these matters to me... No, I can't think this way; it's too impious!'

Archbishop Anthony drew a crimson moon on his chest, praising the Goddess while repenting in his heart.

The Church of the God of Steam and Machinery's Archbishop Horamick Haydn then flew to the "Spellsinger of God" Ace Snake. Unlike the other two heads of the Backlund diocese, Archbishop Haydn had clearly not arrived in person but sent a semi-mechanical incarnation. He appeared both mechanical and magical.

"Why aren't you saying anything? This doesn't seem like you. Where's your fiery temper?" Archbishop Haydn asked in a soft voice, filled with confusion and probing.

As someone who neither had contact with the Angel of Secrets nor understood part of the inside story like Archbishop Anthony, Archbishop Haydn was undoubtedly the most puzzled at the moment.

"I'm not just an angry fool." Archbishop Snake gave Archbishop Haydn a sideways glance. His mind was still echoing the words of the stranger Angel. He felt he needed to return to the church quickly and report everything to the Lord.

However, before that, Archbishop Snake decided to spend a little time briefly describing what had just happened to his two colleagues. He naturally omitted the part about the Lord of Storms, saying, "I just met an Angel who called themselves the Angel of Secrets. Have you two heard of this name?"

Sure enough!

Archbishop Anthony, who had his suspicions confirmed, was not surprised at all.

Archbishop Haydn frowned because he was sure he had never heard of such an Angel.

After a moment of consideration, Archbishop Anthony said, "I haven't seen this Angel, but I know of their existence."

"The Angel of Secrets can be considered a semi-ally of the Evernight Church."

For a moment, the other two archbishops looked at him.

Archbishop Anthony's expression remained unchanged. He smiled warmly and said, "But the church doesn't know much about this Angel. If you need, I can let you consult some files regarding Him."

The contact between the Angel of Secrets and the Evernight Church was not a big secret. If the other two wanted to investigate, they could naturally find clues. Therefore, Archbishop Anthony was particularly generous in this regard.

After all, to be honest, even if they were given the files, they probably wouldn't learn much.

After all, even the Evernight Church, which had the most contact with the Angel, knew little about Him.

The only certainty was that the Goddess had a very friendly attitude towards the Angel, and the Angel was also willing to maintain a friendly stance towards the church.

...

"Half of the potion has been digested? How could the effect be so good?"

While the three archbishops were exploring a certain riddle, elsewhere, Klein, who had left the Evernight Church cathedral and returned to the Sherlock Detective Agency with Lynn, finally had time to check the progress of his Magician potion digestion.

But this investigation directly startled Klein.

Because the digestion was simply too much. According to Klein's initial estimation, even if his acting method was correct, a single performance digesting a quarter of the Magician potion would have been very exaggerated. But reality was even more astonishing.

Even if he admitted that he acted meticulously, set up the scene beautifully, and had a final exit comparable to a magic show, it was still too much.

So much so that Klein felt there was something abnormal about it.

And beside Klein, Lynn, who appeared due to the spoils of battle, also showed a surprised expression upon hearing this. But he quickly reacted, poking Klein and saying, "Do you think it's possible that the digestion of the Magician potion is not only related to the quality of the performance but also the quality of the audience?"

"I don't know if you are aware, but from what I understand, the feedback is different when the same acting is applied to people of different Sequences. For instance, digesting the Provoker potion by provoking ordinary people might take several months, but if you can provoke an Angel, the Provoker potion might digest instantly."

Lynn wasn't talking nonsense. The original acting method indeed had this feature. Low-Sequence Beyonders wanted to complete their acting quickly; the best way was to perform in front of high-Sequence individuals to get some high-Sequence feedback.

However, this acting method was risky, as it could easily backfire and end up with the performer gone. So, unless one had connections, it was not recommended.

Klein was stunned for a moment, then clearly thought of a possibility, saying, "You mean this time's event might have attracted the attention of high-Sequence members of the church, bringing me extra digestion progress?"

A normal mid-Sequence battle wouldn't attract the attention of high-Sequence church members. But their event this time involved a Sequence 4 and the Angel of Secrets. It's possible that high-ranking church officials examined their battle site for more clues.

After all, as long as they weren't foolish, most people would connect the two battles.

"Uh, that's indeed a possibility." Lynn nodded seriously, then lightly coughed and said, "But is it possible that I am also considered a high-quality audience?"

Lynn's speculation was not without reason. After all, he was using a divine avatar. Even though the power borrowed was from the avatar, the consciousness was shared. In the same space-time, it's hard to say if the potion digestion would consider him as a Sequence 7 Audience or a high-Sequence audience.

After all, potion digestion often didn't make much sense.

Klein was stunned for a moment, his eyes widening slightly, clearly understanding Lynn's words.

But then he was a bit puzzled, saying, "But even if you were once an Angel, you're now just Sequence 7..."
