The little pastor is taking care of the weirdness of divinity

Chapter 98: How come it’s you two who are the commanders in charge?
The illusory image of the half-elf trembled as if it had been exposed to extreme cold.He looks handsome, but the cold chill of the eternal night has long tortured him into unconsciousness.

He trembled as he answered:

"I am a senior researcher of the [Schism Mechanicus], an artificer who specializes in the creation of magic items."

When Xia Bron heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned:
"You should know that [the Insurgency] have a bad reputation, right?"

The half-elf's soul trembled and nodded in the air:
"I was just an ordinary mechanical believer in the beginning, and I didn't believe in the so-called legend that 'the machine god is dead and broken'. I just obeyed my friend's wishes and verbally agreed to join [the mechanical church split].

"Until... until I participated in one of their activities, the Oracle's daughter summoned in front of us..."

Halfway through the speech, the half-elf artificer's soul seemed to recall some terrible scene, but it shivered in the air and remained silent.

Xia Bailun's green eyes flashed with cold light, his eyes were sharp, and he asked:
"What was summoned? What did that oracle girl you mentioned summoned?"

Under the pressure of the dagger owner, the half-elf finally continued:
"She summoned...
"The dead machine soul of the God of Machinery!

"The God of Machinery among the nine gods is actually dead, and his body was torn into pieces. A few of the broken remains became corpses of gods floating in the astral plane, while most of them were scattered all over the place, and were even controlled by other gods.

"His remaining unconscious machine soul has become a [Contracted Spirit], summoned by the red-haired witch we call the Oracle's daughter using the [Relict Soul Contract]."

what?
The "God of Mechanics" among the Nine Gods is dead?
"God is broken", this is indeed the consistent rhetoric of the [Mechanic Church schismatics].

What shocked Chabron even more was that it was the so-called "oracle girl" and "red-haired witch" who could summon the soul of the dead machine in a mortal body.

There is actually a [Spiritual Contractor] profession on the planet Rioli now?
Xia Bilun thought that the skills of the spirit bond master had been lost long ago.
-
Spirit bonders are a very special type of magician.

Among the legal professions, magicians are a very special category. They pursue unspeakable taboo knowledge on the edge of reason like moths to a flame, and gain power by signing contracts with certain beings that transcend material reality.

The most common three types of magic contracts are [Devil Contract], [Star Contract] and [Fairy Contract].The sect masters of the three usually correspond to the demon lord/big devil, the ancient evil object/the old ruler/the demon star, and the supreme elf respectively.

But the sorcery contract signed by the spirit contract masters is a unique [Spirit Contract].The spirit contract warlock does not make a contract with any single specific entity, but chooses to make contracts with many [Spirit Contracts]!

A spirit is a spirit remnant between existence and destruction.After the death of great figures and even gods who have left traces in the long history, if they are in a special state, they may be transformed into [Contracted Spirits] wandering in nothingness.Spiritual masters can summon them from the pores of history, invite their spirits to get on their bodies, and obtain the power of the corresponding legendary figures.

However, due to reasons that are still widely discussed, a thousand years ago, the Spiritual Contract Master was wanted by almost all the Nine Gods Religion and was surrounded and suppressed!

All documents describing how to make a [Soul Contract] and become a Spirit Contractor were burned by the priests and paladins of the Order of the Gods.

The inheritance of the [Spiritual Soul Contract] was cut off centuries ago.

There is no more spiritual master in this world.

It is precisely because of this that Xia Bulin was very surprised when he heard that the "daughter of the oracle" and the "red-haired witch" was actually a living spiritual contract master.
-
From the words of the half-elf weapon master, Xia Bron seemed to vaguely sense part of the reason why the spiritual contract masters were once captured by the Order of the Gods.

Chabron then asked:
"If it is true as you say, the machine god is dead.

"Then who is the mechanical god who has been receiving prayers and sending oracles all these years?"

This may involve the secret behind [3-075]!
The half-elf trembled violently again, as if he had encountered a biting extreme cold:

"Noble master, if I tell you all the truth, will you release me? Release me from this cold space of darkness and coldness."

Under the eternal darkness, Chabron nodded:
"of course."

After receiving the affirmation, the handsome half-elf artificer replied:

"There are different opinions within [the Insurgency] about this. Most of them believe that the so-called God of Machinery is just the largest fragment or part of the broken God.

"But Anneway, the daughter of the Oracle, once hinted to me in private that another god obtained the broken parts of the God and usurped the position of the God of Machinery. Pretending to be Him and sending down the Oracle!
"I dare not speak His name..."

Anneway?Why does the pronunciation of this common language name sound familiar?Chamberlain thought.

Under the eternal night, Chabron's green eyes were shining brightly:

"Just say the pretender's name boldly."

[Betrayer's Fang] is an item held by Shabron. It will also be covered by the abnormal effects on him and can block the divine consciousness of the Nine Gods.

"The pretender who has usurped the position of the God of Machinery, mastered God's largest part, and controlled the church in His name is...

"The Lord of Order, the Emperor of Law, the King of Kings, the Convict, the Ruler of Nations, the Eye of Endless Surveillance, the Black Emperor, and His Majesty the Divine Emperor of the Eastern Continent——

"King of Kings!"

Why is it Him again?

After getting the answers he wanted, Chabron asked a series of questions.

From it, Chablain learned that the half-elf artificer was killed by a sorceress killer—probably the one who attacked him—shortly after arriving at Rainbow Castle.

"This is the last question, and then I will release you. So that you can escape from here and be reincarnated in the outer plane."

"Praise be to you, exalted master, who is my great benefactor. Please ask."

The half-elf waited quietly for the final question.

"What is your last wish?"

"what?"

The handsome half-elf soul looked horrified as if he had been struck by lightning. He seemed to have never expected that the owner of the [Betrayer's Fang] would ask himself such a question.

"What is your last wish?" As if worried that the other party did not hear clearly, Chabron repeated the question.

The half-elf soul's illusory and translucent eyes were filled with tears:
"I don't have any last wishes. The only thing I care about now is the daughter of the oracle and spiritual binder, Miss Anneway. She once treated me well and told me such an expensive truth, so that I no longer indulge in Worship of false gods.

"However, I failed to complete what she asked me to do - to send a message to the two people in the Star Vault King's Territory/Thousand Layers City Rainbow Castle."

Chabron floated above the soul, looking down at the crystal soul below him:
"I can send a message for you."

The soul immediately waved his hand in a hurry and rejected the kindness:

"No, no, no, I dare not ask you to help me complete the message. These contents will bring you... unnecessary risks."

Chabron looked very firm:
"You can tell me who and what the message is, and I will weigh the risks myself."

Hearing this, the soul of the half-elf magic weapon master said:
"The difference between the two message recipients is,
"[1] The Bishop of the Eternal Light Temple of Rainbow Castle, Mera, the Priest of Knowledge!
"[2] Associate Professor of the Royal Academy of Magic, member of the Arcane Federation, dwarf mage, Duncan Flashstone!"

What?
Why are you two?
　(When it comes to the spirit bond master, two things pop up in my mind: Ju Ling Qi General? Are you my master?)
