As for Audrey's question, Daly and the others felt it was somewhat unnecessary, but since she was Audrey's subordinate, they didn't say anything and didn't take it too seriously.
Only the "old man" inside Leonard reminded him that this was actually a rather crucial issue.
Odis, who was walking at the front, replied: "According to my observation, in the Fourth Age and before, the gods appeared to the world in human form, or in a concrete form."
"You should remember that a companion once shared that they saw the human forms of six gods from the Fourth Age in the underground ruins of Backlund."

Audrey instantly realized that it was intelligence shared by "the world".
She also thought of the image of the Six Gods that "Little Sun" shared, which had been distorted by the followers of the "True Creator".
Only after Odis offered an explanation did Dai Li and the others realize that the question might not be unnecessary.
Moreover, they did not expect that the Six Gods would also have a human form.
Odis added, "This concrete image allows believers to directly point to the gods when they pray."
"Later, when the symbols or emblems were changed to correspond to the authority of the gods, they no longer pointed directly to the gods."
Dai Li and the others were stunned for a moment, feeling that this topic seemed a bit blasphemous!
But they were eager to hear more, so they followed Odis quietly, afraid of interrupting her description.
Having grown accustomed to discussing such blasphemous issues, Audrey asked again, "What's the difference between the two?"
"I have seen some materials that state that this can effectively filter out some of the negative emotions of believers," Odis reiterated. "I have only read about it in the materials, and I cannot judge whether it is true or false."
He paused for a moment and then said, "It is said that some believers, even if they are very devout to the gods, will still have all sorts of negative emotions when they pray."
"For example, if a believer has a grudge against someone, he might pray to the gods and ask them to kill that person."
"This is a negative emotion, and there should be many believers who hold this negative emotion, which may affect the state of the gods."
"Therefore, the gods no longer appear in a concrete form, but direct people's prayers toward His authority, thereby filtering out negative emotions."
Dai Li and the others were stunned, not expecting that there was such profound information involved.
Then Daly really wanted to ask where Odis's documents were found. She was eager to see them too.
At the same time, she planned to carefully read the advanced intelligence and materials provided by the church after returning from this mission, because her experience with Odis had made her feel the power of knowledge.
Audrey said, "I see."
She didn't feel any particular emotion, after all, the image of the "hermit" had always been that of someone who knew everything. As long as she asked a question, she could get some kind of answer.
If the intelligence is highly advanced and crucial, the "Hermit" will propose a deal.
However, some information that Audrey considered highly valuable was deemed less important by the "Hermit," so he wouldn't accept payment.
While discussing this topic, the group walked around the stone statue of the "Emperor of the Underworld" at a distance and arrived at the rear hall.
The back was very clean, with only an altar and a downward path, nothing else.
Odis was slightly taken aback when he saw the empty altar. There was nothing on the altar.
That shouldn't be happening!
Even if there was no planner at the altar, there should still be some clues.
So Odis asked Daly and the others, "Do you know the structure of the Church of Death?"
He realized that the Church of Death was located on the southern continent, and its structure might be different from that of the churches on the northern continent during the Fourth Age.
Dai Li and the others looked at each other, clearly lacking the knowledge in this area.
At this moment, Leonard said, "Could the clue we're looking for be in the underground structure?"
Before anyone else could react, Odis exclaimed, "That makes sense!"
He knew perfectly well that Leonard was unlikely to provide any useful clues at this point, but the "old man" inside him had enough insight, and perhaps this was a reminder from the "old man."
Just as Odis was about to lead the team to the underground structure, Audrey suddenly asked, "This... um, Mr. Mitchell, is there anything else you want to remind us of?"
Odis glanced back at Leonard and saw him clear his throat awkwardly, as if he had been caught doing something wrong.
He immediately realized that Leonard was a little guilty.
When everyone was clueless, he suddenly provided a clue, and Odis adopted it without even asking why. This seemed a bit strange during the post-operation debriefing.
Of course, this strange feeling is unlikely to attract the attention of colleagues, but at some point in the future, if he does something that attracts attention, then this strange feeling will easily become evidence.
Under normal circumstances, this matter would have ended there, but now there is an "audience" in the team, and this "audience" has no chemistry with Leonard, so Leonard's little thoughts cannot be hidden at all.
Just as Leonard was about to clear his throat and find an excuse after being asked this by Audrey, Odis, who was at the front, asked, "I also have a question. In what document did you see a record of the structure of the Church of Death?"
As they talked, Odis naturally continued to lead the way, and with the previous topic of "divine imagery" added to the atmosphere of discussion, he successfully created the illusion of a discussion.
"No, that's not it." Leonard breathed a sigh of relief and gave the reason he had prepared beforehand: "I just thought that the Church of Death has a unique culture of death, and the dead are buried in coffins underground, so I wondered if they might have important structures underground as well."
Odis smiled and said, "Excellent reasoning."
In his heart, he thought: Dealing with people who have problems is really troublesome.
Daisy and the others thought they were just discussing something and didn't notice anything unusual, since Leonard often had some whimsical ideas.
Audrey noticed the awkwardness in Odis and Leonard's interactions, but this time she chose to remain silent.
As they spoke, the group descended the stairs to the next floor, where a long corridor appeared before them.
Odis, who was ahead, sensed that the corridor was very eerie and that there were probably some extraordinary traps or necromancy-related magic involved.
He raised the "Gus Staff," and beams of pure white sunlight fell down, followed by a series of pitiful screams echoing through the corridor.
Under the scorching sunlight, some ghostly figures emerged from the walls of the corridor, then quickly dimmed and eventually disappeared without a trace.
After the pure white light disappeared, the corridor ahead remained quiet and deserted, but the eerie feeling was gone.
Now, it's not just Leonard who feels this way: this operation, which seems very strange and of a high level, is surprisingly easy because of the demigod's presence. Daly and the others have the same feeling.
Some murals appeared in the corridor, depicting bloody sacrificial scenes. The evil spirits that Odis had just purified must have been hiding in these murals.
After passing through a long corridor, we turned a corner and arrived at an underground hall.
Sure enough, there was an underground altar here, and around the altar, there were six corpses facing the altar, making a worshipping gesture.
A faint light emanated from the center of the altar, and the pillar of light connecting to the top of the black stone likely originated from there.
On the altar there is also a stone object with a base and two extending stone arms.
Odis couldn't immediately figure out what the stone tool was for, but he gestured to the others, reminding them to be on high alert.
Odis noticed that although the clothes on the six corpses were tattered, they had an unusual flow of spiritual energy.
After walking a few more steps, Odis recognized that the stone artifact on the altar was a stone stand, which should have been supporting weapons or something similar.
But that thing was taken away, so only a stone frame remained.
After walking a distance, Odis raised the "Staff of Gus," intending to purify the six corpses again, but then felt that the six corpses were somewhat abnormal, and that the power of the "Holy Light" might "awaken" them.
After thinking it over for a moment, Odis decided to wait for "the other party" to make the first move.
Even after everyone got close to the altar, the six corpses did not react.
They all had their heads bowed, as if they were repenting.
It was impossible to tell how they died from their bodies.
Odis first noticed that there was a line of black writing in front of several corpses, which seemed to have been left by the corpses before they died.
The script was the local Dutan script of the Southern Continent. Odis had mastered this script long ago. He glanced at it and saw that in front of one of the corpses was written: Bradrick lied to us...
Odis was taken aback; Bradrick was the very person Bolton, the pirate captain, had sacrificed himself to.
He continued reading, and in front of the second corpse was written: His purpose was not to awaken the master of the underworld at all...
The bodies behind them each bore the inscription: "We need to find him..."
Tear his soul apart...
We want to be resurrected! We want to be resurrected...
Only by being resurrected can I find Bradrick...
There were no words written on the last body.
Odis frowned. He was increasingly confused about this matter. He didn't understand why they were sacrificing the entire city's population. He didn't understand what Bradrick had lied to them about.
Odis then translated the words the corpse had written before its death for Daly and the others, and then asked them, "What are your thoughts?"
Everyone frowned, because these words made it difficult to guess the whole story.
At this point, Audrey, using the clues she had observed, tried to guess: "Could it be that this man named Bradrick conspired with these six corpses? It's very possible that this city was sacrificed by them."
"But Bradrick concealed his true purpose; all six of them died, but he did not."
"If we include Bradrick, that makes seven people. Could they be the seven priests who sacrificed their lives back then?"
"Moreover, we should also carefully examine that corpse that left no writing; there must be some reason for its abnormality."
Odis smiled and said, "You're right, the sixth corpse... no, I should say the sixth person, is not dead yet."
He's not dead yet?
Everyone immediately assumed a defensive stance. When they looked at the person again, like the other corpses, the flesh had completely dried up and turned black, resembling a mummified corpse, showing no signs of life.
Odis raised his hand, and a power resembling that of the underworld burst forth from his scepter.
This surprised Daly, Leonard, and the others standing nearby, because in their eyes, Odis was very versatile! She had previously released an ability similar to "holy light," and now she had released an ability with necromancy attributes.
This was actually an ability that Odis simulated using the "Gar Rune". When the power he imitated was poured into the body of the "sixth person", the mummified corpse suddenly moved its neck and made a "creaking" sound like a machine that was severely lacking oil.
Then he slowly stood up, raised his head to look at the "Staff of Gus" in Odis's hand, and then looked at Odis.
In fact, his eyeballs had long since shrunk, but Odis and the others could still feel his gaze.
His lips didn't move, but a deep voice rang out: "Is the 'Morsic Order' preparing to start a civil war in the Southern Continent again?"
Everyone immediately realized that this was a spiritual dialogue initiated by the other party.
However, they didn't quite understand the meaning of that sentence.
Odis immediately recalled that he had received intelligence that during the Fourth Age, the "Morse Penitentiary Order" had opposed the Byron Empire's attitude towards its people, and it seemed that a battle had taken place.
He did not answer the question, but instead said, "The Byron Empire has perished."
The territory currently ruled by the "Royal Faction" of the "Spiritual Cult" is not even as large as a kingdom.
Before the other party could react, Odis continued, "We were investigating Bradrick and tracked him down here. He's using the power of the underworld to carry out some actions. Do you know his true purpose?"
The "sixth person" did not answer Odis's question, but said, "No one can stop our resurrection process, nor can anyone stop the return of the master of the underworld."
Odis laughed and said, "I'm not as optimistic as you."
He pointed to the stone shelf on the altar: "According to our investigation, there should have been a scepter on there, which was the most important thing in your plan, but Bradrick took it away."
This was the association that Odis had just made. He was almost certain that the demigod of the "Death" pathway who cooperated with the "Witch Cult" was Bradrick.
He then went on to recall that "White Saintess" Katarina had once said that Bradrick could provide a scepter to grant Odis a certain amount of power, so that a demigod could "recreate" the "Emperor of the Underworld".
He then boldly speculated that Bradrick had taken the scepter from here.
Everyone clearly saw a look of surprise on the gaunt face of the "sixth person": "You know about the 'Scepter of the Dead'?"
Dai Li and the others remained expressionless, but in their hearts they were all basically thinking: They've gotten away with it!
"Of course I know," Odis said. "But the information we have may not be comprehensive enough to accurately deduce Bradrick's purpose."
"How about this? You tell us Bradrick's purpose, and we'll help you get revenge."
Audrey thought to herself: "Emperor Roselle once said that the best way to capture a target is to let it go first. The 'hermit's' earlier statement was a deliberate show of weakness, which actually made his words more believable and further served to confuse the other party. He really is an expert in psychology!"
The sixth person remained silent for a moment before saying, "I don't need your help with revenge..."
Odis interrupted him forcefully: "Bradrick has become very powerful through a sacrifice and the scepter in his hand."
"Even if you were resurrected, so what? Could you kill him?"
The "sixth person" fell silent again. Odis knew he had touched on the key point, so he didn't say anything more.
After a long pause, the "sixth man" asked, "After I tell you Bradrick's purpose, what are your plans to do against us?"
"Seal it," Odis said. "This city has a very close connection with the underworld, and you should have some special abilities that you can use here."
"The best way is to seal it off. You all continue to guard this place, as long as you don't cause significant damage to the outside world."
The sixth person smirked: "Sealing is indeed the best method."
"I have one request: if you kill Bradrick, bring the scepter and his head here."
Odis knew very well that the other party was testing him, so he said, "A head is acceptable, but a scepter is not."
He often did this; if he immediately agreed to their demands in order to obtain information, they would definitely become suspicious, because the scepter was something he would never give them under any circumstances.
After the terms were agreed upon, the "sixth person" said, "Bradrick wants to become the master of the underworld."
Odis was taken aback: "He wants to be the 'Grim Reaper'?"
"No, no, no, he is the 'Master of the Underworld'." The "sixth person" emphasized, "Of course, he ultimately wants to become the new 'Grim Reaper'."
"But his current goal is to become the 'master of the underworld,' so that he can use the power of the underworld to temporarily possess the power of an angel, or even an archangel."
"To prepare for further promotion."
Odis nodded slowly. He knew very well that becoming an angel was a difficult thing, no matter when or in what organization.
Then he asked, "What was your plan when you sacrificed the lives of the entire city?"
"Upon learning of the fall of the great 'Emperor of the Underworld,' Bradrick lied, claiming he had received a divine oracle to help the 'Emperor of the Underworld' resurrect," the "Sixth Man" recounted.
"The fall of the gods plunged all the priests into confusion and chaos. We believed Bradrick's words and used the 'Scepter of the Dead' to sacrifice the lives of people in the city to the underworld, connecting the city to the underworld and making it a part of the underworld in the real world."
Bradrick declared that a fragmented part of the soul of the great 'Death' needed such a place to recuperate and await the opportunity to be resurrected.
"When the sacrifice was performed, we realized something was wrong. Although the seven of us were sacrificing our souls and lives together, Bradrick was not affected and left after we died, living in a city outside."
"We then realized that after learning of the fall of the great 'Grim Reaper,' Bradrick began his conspiracy. He had been waiting for the right moment to completely take control of the Underworld."
"Just recently, he seems to have found the opportunity to come here and take the scepter."
Odis asked, "Has Bradric never left in all these thousand years?"
The "sixth man" replied, "He should have left, but in my current state, my inspiration isn't sharp enough to determine exactly when or how he left."
Odis nodded: "There's another question: can you resurrect without the scepter? Or what is the principle behind your resurrection?"
The "Sixth Man" glanced at Odis again before answering, "After Bradrick took the scepter, we could not tolerate him usurping the authority of 'Death,' so we used the underworld to begin the process of resurrection."
But he didn't explain the specific process.
"Let me guess," Odis smiled. "You can't actually be truly resurrected; you've just allowed your spirits to attach themselves to some fresh corpses, temporarily gaining the ability to move freely."
"The reason you use the gallows to kill those people is because of your hatred for the traitors..."
The latest novel is first published here!
"Well, from this we can deduce that you are not able to leave this place under normal circumstances. Not even your souls."
"The reason you didn't go through the resurrection process before was probably because you were afraid of being interrupted by Bradrick. This shows that the main power for your resurrection process came from the underworld, not from that scepter."
"Therefore, the legend that 'when the seven priests are resurrected, Death is resurrected' is false."
"Well, strictly speaking, you can't really be called resurrected..."
As Odis spoke, he paced around as if searching for something.
After saying this, he smiled and said, "My previous guess was correct. The 'Scepter of the Dead' is a medium connecting to the underworld."
"Without the 'Scepter of the Dead,' you can still draw power from the underworld, but this city can no longer be considered part of the underworld."
"Because of the strengthened connection with the real world, you are able to use evil spirits to capture living people around you for 'reincarnation'."
"Let me guess again, is it possible that during this process, a sudden misfortune struck, causing one of the prey to escape your control?"
"It's that bully named Mima Gale. He returned to the port and attracted the attention of the official extraordinary beings."
That "misfortune" that fell from the sky was most likely orchestrated by the goddess.
After Bradrick obtained the "Scepter of the Dead," he lured Bolton's pirate crew to discover the treasure of the Byron Empire. Bolton then "came back to life" and helped him perform the sacrifice.
This is the whole picture.
After hearing Odis's words, the "sixth person" said, "You don't intend to seal us away?"
"Yes," Odis smiled. "I'm sorry, I lied just now."
"We certainly can't let people like you, who are capable of sacrificing an entire city, get away with this."
"What you're holding is the 'Staff of Gus'!" The "Sixth Man" sounded somewhat agitated. "Don't you even have this much integrity?"
Odis raised the "Staff of Gus" in his hand: "I just sincerely apologized to you!"
Dai Li and the others all gave a rather unkind smile.
The "sixth man" stood there stunned, not reacting for two or three seconds.
Odis stomped his foot on the ground, and "Garr runes" and various shapes spread outwards, covering the entire room.
These runes slowly floated up, emitting a soft light.
This is an upgraded version of the "barrier array," which can completely sever the connection between the real world and the underworld.
The faint light on the altar then disappeared, meaning that these six corpses could not possibly regenerate like the people on the gallows outside after being killed.
While negotiating with the other party, Odis had already devised a plan to eliminate them.
And as he walked around just now, he was constantly injecting spiritual energy into the ground.
At this moment, the "sixth man" no longer harbored any illusions. He opened his mouth and uttered a whisper. When the other party uttered the first syllable, Audrey and the others felt their bodies stiffen, as if their souls were about to leave their bodies.
The other party was an "immortal" in life, so although he sacrificed his soul and life, he has always been in a state between life and death.
Because he was a demigod, "Words of the Undead" became an "Area of Effect skill" for him.
At that moment, a phantom cow suddenly appeared in front of them, and the cow looked quite different from the cows they remembered.
There is another object that looks somewhat like a seven-stringed zither, but with obvious differences.
Idiom story: Playing the lute to a cow!
The moment these illusory things appeared, the "Sixth Man's" "Words of the Dead" instantly turned into a comical sound like a clown's performance, and their spirits were no longer affected in any way.
Odis pointed the "Staff of Gus" forward, and the "Sixth Man's" feet instantly turned gold, with the gold rapidly expanding upwards.
Mythical magic: Turning stone into gold!
Daly and the others retreated in unison, avoiding the battlefield of the two demigods, and then began to use their extraordinary ranged abilities to attack the five corpses still on the ground.
The five corpses rolled over in unison, stood up, and began to fight back. They all possessed the strength of the fifth level of the Sequence.
Audrey looked at the other person's gaunt face and almost gasped.
"Imprison!" At this moment, Susie suddenly used the "Hand of Judgment" to imprison one of the mummies in ancient Hermes.
Audrey has adjusted her mindset and is using magical items to attack the "imprisoned" mummified corpse.
At the same time, she thought to herself: Audrey, this is so embarrassing. Susie is more composed and calmer than you!
On the other side, two skeletal arms suddenly emerged from behind the "sixth man," detaching his legs and throwing them to the other side of the altar.
Immediately afterward, before the "sixth man" had even fallen to the ground, two skeletal legs quickly emerged and supported him again.
The two legs that were thrown out quickly turned into hard gold.
At this moment, Odis launched another attack, and the "sixth man" could only try his best to dodge.
This "undying one" was no longer at his peak, and now that he couldn't run away, he could only grit his teeth and persevere.
After launching several attacks, Odis probed the opponent's condition and strength.
Although he had fully digested the potion and could "reproduce" many powerful abilities, he was still not very proficient in mastering demigod abilities.
Fortunately, neither of the two enemies he encountered today were normal demigods.
In the case of a normal demigod, Odis would have a considerable advantage, but the opponent could easily escape.
Upon learning of the opponent's strength, Odis gripped the "Gus Staff" tightly with both hands, and the staff's tip emitted an unprecedented light!
After becoming a demigod, Odis was also able to make better use of the "Gus Staff" and design abilities that were stronger than those of a normal Sequence 4.
For example, the ability he is using now is one that can only be used with the "Gus Staff"!
Mythological Story: Ten Suns in the Sky!
A burst of pure light erupted from the "Gus Staff," stopping at the top of the hall and making the entire hall seem as if it were bathed in the midday sun.
The abilities of the "sixth man" and the five corpses were all weakened to some extent.
Then Odis's hair seemed to turn golden, as if it were burning with golden flames, and the "Gus Staff" then burst forth with a golden light and appeared at the top of the hall.
Everyone felt their exposed skin burning, as if it were on fire.
The "sixth man" realized that this ability would cause him great harm, so he pushed forward, hoping to open the gates of the underworld.
Although Odis used a magic array to sever the power of the underworld, it was still unable to stop the extraordinary abilities of a demigod.
A bronze gate with intricate and mysterious patterns appeared before Odis, and at the same time, the flames that had just ignited on the "Sixth Man" were extinguished.
On the other side, flames broke out on both the fallen and the unfallen corpses.
They struggled desperately, only to find they could not extinguish the flames engulfing their bodies.
Odis said to Daly and the others, "Get behind me."
As soon as Dai Li and the others came behind Odis, the burning sensation lessened considerably.
The moment Odis spoke, a beam of light shone from his mouth. This beam of light, amplified by the "Staff of Gus," became a phantom of light.
Beams of light with purifying power descended and shone upon the five corpses. They collapsed to the ground amidst screams, their spirits quickly dimming and disappearing under the purifying light.
Another purifying light shone on the "sixth man," who quickly hid behind the "Gate of the Underworld" and pushed hard against the bronze gate, finally managing to open a crack.
At this moment, as Odis breathed, bursts of light also shot out. The head of the "Gus Staff" shone brightly once again, and a blazing white ball of light flew out, rapidly rotating around the top of the hall.
As it rotated, clusters of blazing white flames fell, which immediately dispersed upon hitting the ground, igniting a white inferno.
The stone bricks on the ground and the stone altar had been burned into lime, and the entire hall was so hot that it was suffocating.
At the same time, the "Gate of the Dead" of the "Sixth Man" finally opened, and countless indescribable eyes looked outward. But just as the aura of the underworld was about to penetrate into the real world, the sunlight of four suns simultaneously shone into the black underworld.
The owners of those eyes hidden behind the door were either scorched from the inside out by the golden flames, chased by the light of purification, or burned to pieces by the blazing white flames.
At this moment, Odis's gaze was replaced by sunlight, and a huge pale yellow orb of light emerged from the "Gus Staff," forming a huge pale yellow sun in the sky above the hall.
It was like a giant eye, indifferently watching the "Gate of the Underworld," as if a light had appeared in the eternal underworld.
Squeak~
The massive bronze gate closed and vanished in an instant.
Without the protection of the "Gate of the Underworld," the "Sixth Man" was immediately exposed to the radiance of the five suns. His body was instantly covered by blazing white and golden flames, while his spirit was purified.
He had calmed down by now, quietly watching Odis, waiting for the final blow.
Odis was radiating light, and a white ball of light shot out from the "Gus Staff". After reaching the top of the hall, it fired a "blazing white javelin" that struck the "Sixth Man" in the chest.
He was completely engulfed in flames, the "blazing white javelin" exploded, the "sixth man" was blasted to pieces, and the fragments were burned to ashes.
His last words echoed in the hall: "You have the potential to kill Bradrick..."
Odis took a deep breath, and six suns of different sizes and colors spun above everyone's heads. Although this ability was called "Ten Suns in the Sky," he could only "reproduce" six at the moment.
If the "Divine Tide" ability had been used in advance, perhaps two more could have been "recreated".
Only when the enemies before him had all rapidly transformed into extraordinary beings did Odis gradually withdraw his spirituality, and the light emanating from his body slowly faded.
About ten seconds later, the hall returned to darkness.
However, Audrey and the others still felt the air was scorching hot and were drenched in sweat. If they hadn't been hiding behind Odis, they might have been roasted into mummies and burned to ashes long ago.
Although everyone was extraordinary, the sunlight just now was too bright. After the sunlight disappeared, everyone's eyes could not adjust for a while, and everything in front of them was pitch black. Only after they activated their spiritual vision could they see a blurry scene.
Odis breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "This ability is perfect for dealing with undead creatures."
His original intention was to deal with the "Rose School," but he didn't expect to test it out here first.
Audrey pursed her slightly dry lips and asked, "Are all demigods this powerful?"
Odis raised the staff in his hand and smiled, "Without it, I wouldn't be this strong."
As he spoke, he waved his hand, and around the extraordinary characteristics of the "Undead," a circle of small "Garr runes" appeared, forming an illusory seal.
Odis said, "This seal can only last for 12 hours. Let's put away the spoils first."
Then Daly remembered that Odis had promised not to take any spoils, but when she put away the spoils, Daly gave Audrey the extraordinary "Gatekeeper" ability, which was her spoils.
Audrey, however, deflected the question, saying, "I didn't play a very big role either."
Because it was her first time participating in an extraordinary battle, even with three magical items, she and Susie could only withstand the attack of one corpse.
Odis said, "Captain Simone gave it to you, so you can keep it."
Under normal circumstances, Audrey wouldn't have gotten so many spoils, but the extra portion was Daly's way of thanking Odice.
After collecting their spoils, everyone's vision gradually adjusted to the surrounding darkness. They noticed that the "sixth man" and several corpses had been burned to ashes.
After leaving the stuffy underground hall for a short while and resting outside the church, we returned the way we came.
The pillars of light in the church had disappeared, and the group returned to the ground. The first thing they saw was that the wooden gallows had all fallen to the ground, and the problem was obviously solved.
Of course, Bradrick's matter still needs to be investigated, but that is not within Odis's scope of work for the time being. After chatting with Daly and the others for a few more minutes, he "reappeared" as Suzaku and left with Audrey and Susie.
As evening approached, the finishing touches were handed over to the night watchmen. Daly needed to deliver the extraordinary properties of the "Undead" to the church as soon as possible, so the "Red Gloves" members evacuated first.
To prevent their extraordinary abilities from affecting ordinary people, the members of the "Red Gloves" must drive themselves.
Leonard volunteered to be the first driver.
After the carriage started moving, Leonard spoke in a barely audible voice, "Old man, are all demigods of the 'Spy' pathway this powerful?"
The abilities Odis displayed today have completely redefined his understanding of the extraordinary.
"Didn't he say himself that the staff in his hand is the key?" Palles Zoroaster, who was parasitizing Leonard's body, said unhurriedly, "I didn't expect to see the 'Guth Staff' in the Fifth Epoch."
"However, the 'Moss Ascetic Order' is indeed much weaker now; even demigods can wield the 'Gus Staff'."
Leonard asked in a low voice, "Is that staff very powerful?"
Pales chuckled and said, "In the early Fourth Age, only angels could wield the 'Gus Staff'."
"Amon once wanted to get one, so he went to the 'Morse Ascetic' to steal it, but the 'Sage' whipped his buttocks until they were swollen with the 'Gus Staff'."
That was one of the few times Amon was in a sorry state, and it was something Pales always talked about with great relish.
Leonard looked into the distance. According to the church's documents, Odis Gard was not a member of the "Morse Penitentiary".
Of course, it cannot be ruled out that it was stolen from the "Morse Ascetic Order," because according to some intelligence, Odis's forces had recently had a fierce conflict with the "Morse Ascetic Order."
But why did he become the "goddess's" favorite?
Leonard took a deep breath, feeling that Gar seemed to be getting more and more mysterious.
...
Odis took Audrey and Susie back to the mayor's office on Cruz Island, and then asked the secretary for a chilled beer and two glasses of iced water.
The six suns that had just shone had made Odis sweat profusely.
After the two people and the dog took a few sips, Odis said, "I'm never being a tour guide again, it's too tiring!"
