Mystery: I can change things in books

Chapter 56: Temple Inspection
Chris believes that Mrs. Sharon must have her own purpose in participating in these. As an Extraordinary of the "Witch" path, she may do something that endangers the lives of others at any time.

But after all, Mrs. Sharon has the identity of Baron Hoy's widow, and even if Chris knows her true identity, it will not help.

He decided to go to the fortune teller club or participate in some reading groups and other activities when he had free time, and secretly investigate Mrs. Sharon.

Chris's primary goal now is to pass the assessment and review from the Temple of the Heart of Machinery in the next few days, and to cooperate with his teammates to continue investigating the theft case.

As for the "Boba" incident that happened today, Chris knew that the black ears would appear in the hands of a man nicknamed "Black Snake" in Backlund in a few months, but this extraordinary incident has been taken over by the Punisher, and He has nothing to do.

Chris breathed a sigh of relief and went to the recreation room on the third floor to exercise.

He has digested the magic potion of "Secret Peeper", and it is time to start preparing for "Fighting Scholar".

After get off work, Chris took the revolver he had conjured from the book back to his residence and placed it on Star Island.

The next day, Sunday, March 6.

Hoy University Logistics Department.

Since there are only six members of the Mechanical Heart, they take turns to rest on this day and take turns guarding the Steam Gate.

As soon as Chris walked into the logistics department, he was pulled over by Albert Gore, who had been waiting at the door early:
"Chris, there's a telegram from the church, and the senior deacon who's here to examine you is already on the way."

Senior Deacon…

Chris chewed on the word. He knew that the senior deacon of the Church of the Night Goddess must be at least Sequence 5, such as the one who reviewed Klein.

Regardless of the rank of archbishop or senior deacon, these two titles can be regarded as synonymous with the church's senior leaders. Being qualified to be evaluated by them means entering the sight of the church's senior leaders and gaining their attention.

For example, Dai Li, the "psychic" of the Church of the Night, was trained by the church as a future archbishop or senior deacon because she mastered the acting method and was promoted quickly.

Albert looked at Chris' dazed look and patted him heavily on the shoulder:

"Don't be stunned, the senior deacon will arrive at noon, you should prepare now!"

"Who?" Chris asked.

"Ekanser Bernard. Have you heard of it? It is said that he is in charge of a very powerful sealed artifact, but it seems that it cannot be used in actual combat."

The sealed object... must be the magic mirror called "Arrods"...

When Chris heard the name "Ekanser Bernard", he immediately thought of this "dog-licking mirror" who became extremely flattering when he met Klein.

I just don’t know if Arrods will become like that when he meets me...

"It's nothing, don't be afraid. He is only Sequence 6, which is still mid-sequence. He mainly relies on that sealed artifact."

Chris thought to himself as he returned to the office.

He locked the door, recited the name of the unknown god, and came to the Island of Stars.

To be on the safe side, he had to go to Star Island to use the pendulum method once.

He wrote divination sentences on the paper in Hermetic language, then held the white crystal copper chain in his hand and hung it on the paper, almost touching the surface of the paper.

Then he closed his eyes and recited seven times:
"I can pass Ikanser Bernard's test"

……

After seven times, he opened his eyes and the white crystal slowly turned clockwise.

Chris was relieved, it looked like he would pass the review.

He gave the idea of ​​descending and returned to reality.

After staying in the office for two hours, Albert knocked on the door: "Chris, the deacon is here."

He opened the door: "Captain, where is Deacon Ikanser?"

Albert pointed forward: "The equipment warehouse. He is waiting for you." Chris nodded, pushed open the ajar black iron door, walked down the steps, and walked quickly along the deep corridor towards the equipment warehouse.

The door to the equipment shed was open and all the gas lights were on.

A man with disheveled hair and a sharp face, wearing a suit, sat on a chair with his back to Chris.

"You came."

He stood up, half turned around, holding a silver mirror with strange patterns and black gems on both sides.

Chris saluted him: "Hello, Senior Deacon Ikanser."

"Heh, I'm not even a senior deacon yet... Chris, come with me."

He led Chris into a large compartment in the equipment warehouse, which was the alchemy room of the Heart of Machinery.

The room was filled with bottles and jars of all sizes, filled with a strange smell.

"sit."

Ikanser Bernard pointed to the chair in front of him and said to Chris who was standing at the door.

After he sat down, Ikanser stroked the silver mirror in his hand and asked: "According to the usual practice, I will first check whether you have completely digested the potion, okay?"

"Please do as you wish, Your Excellency Ikanser."

Ikanser nodded, touched the surface of the silver mirror three times with his right palm, and asked slowly: "Dear Arrods, my question is, has Chris Doty completely digested the 'Peeper' potion?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the surface of the silver mirror seemed to turn into a liquid state, sparkling.After the water rippled several times, Chris appeared on the screen.

His body gradually became full from nothingness, and the color of his aura became brighter, but this was not a simple emotion or health color.

Ikonse held up the silver mirror, nodded and said, "Your potion has been digested."

He waited for the question to appear on the silver mirror, but this time a line of words appeared on the silver mirror:

You don’t have to answer the questions today, but next time, you have to make up today’s questions.

Didn't even have to answer the question...

Ikanser looked up at Chris and made sure he was okay before he breathed a sigh of relief.

He smiled and said: "You passed this question, you have thoroughly digested the 'Peeper' potion, and your mastery level is also very high."

It turns out that Ikanser's assessment was completed by Arrods... That's right, he is an Extraordinary person of the "General Knowledge" path.

"Next question," Ikanser asked repeatedly stroking the silver mirror, "Dear Arrods, my question is, does Chris Doty show any signs of losing control?"

An ancient Fusac word appeared on the silver mirror: None.

After the word disappeared, as before, no problems emerged.

Ikanser heaved a sigh of relief, and smiled at him, "The inspection is over, congratulations on passing."

Before Chris could relax, he continued: "Next is the question and answer session."

"Steam is on top. Sir Ikanser, please ask, and I will answer truthfully."

"How did you get promoted so quickly? It only took you a few years from Sequence 9 to Sequence 8. Do you have any tips?"

No, actually only less than half a month...

But of course Chris didn't dare to tell the truth. He looked into Ikanser's eyes and slowly said:

"Because I got the hang of it."
