Chapter 075

Frederick Brown, and the 3 other selected youths were asked to secretly meet one of the high elders, who was a demigod.

Out of the other 3 selected, there was Clyde Red, the son of one of the children of the elders, who are up with a golden spoon. He was currently a Sequence 5. But he wasn't arrogant or rude. In fact, he was an extremely mild-mannered and gentle person. He never bullied anyone with his influence, which was more than he could say for another selected person.

Richard Brown was from the same village as him. He was actually the son of the village chief, and the grandson of an elder. He was born with a golden spoon too, but he was unpleasant and made it a point to let everyone around him know what a big deal he was. One of the reasons his father had to sacrifice himself was because the village chief intercepted a Sequence 7 quota that was specially meant for the best young talent of the village, which was due to him, and granted it to his son. After he was promoted, he soundly thrashed this guy up, but he still held feelings of resentment towards him and hid his father. He had not digested the potion more than Frederick, but his grandfather had apparently already prepared a Sequence 5 characteristic for him.

The last one was Victor Grey, another talent from one of the 5 villages. He was quite unassuming and never talked much. But he had great talent, having almost fully digested the Sequence 6 potion.

"Well, I believe I do no need to speak of the importance of the mission. The hopes of the town and 4 villages are entirely in your hands. You must not let us down" said the elder solemnly, to which the 4 enthusiastically agreed.

"Well then, Clyde is the highest Sequence among you. Hence, he will be the leader of this mission. And he will be in charge of the red box. Even if you have a difference of opinion, the decision made by Clyde is final" continued the elder, to which the other 3 had no objections. Clyde had a great relationship with his peers, and sufficient charisma to convince them.

"Good. Now even though this seal isolates almost any sort of connection with the outside world, it can not contain the power of prayer. And Binsy all believed in the God of Weather, who is one of us. Using that connection, we have some knowledge of the outside world. Though most of the believers were converted 200 years ago due to the lack of responses from our side, some remain. Hence, we can offer you some information on what the outside world is like, though the information is quite fragmented and incomplete" said the elder.

"So here is a basic overview of your mission. When you leave this realm, you will appear in the forests in the southern part of the island. You must go north, until you reach the populated areas of the city. There, you are expected to spend a few days collecting more complete information, and learning to blend into the outside world as best you can. As excellent Conspirers, you should know how to stealthily do so. After that, you shall take a ship from the harbour, that goes to Pritz Harbour of the Loen Kingdom. From there, you will travel upriver to the capital of Loen, Backlund. Once you are there, the sealed Red Angel will know. 'He' will directly address you in what to do next" said the elder.

"I know that the 3 of you who are still at Sequence 6 have almost digested your Conspirer potion. Unfortunately, we lack Sequence 5 characteristics to allow you to be promoted. But the outside world is huge and filled with opportunities. You may have the chance to find the materials for the potion somewhere. So I will tell you the formula for Sequence 5 Reaper, along with the corresponding ritual. If you find a chance, do not hesitate to advance. Unfortunately, we do not have a lot of mystical items to give you. A mystical item that can influence ordinary people and weaker Beyonders into working for your benefit shall be the only one provided. It too will be held by Clyde" he continued.

"Well, that is all I can say. You will be meeting the great elder of our family soon. He will give you some more instructions, and use a mystical item that can conceal your presence from divination or other means of detection. The whole family is depending on you four. Do your best" he finished, as he gestured them to enter the inner halls.

The four of them went deeper into the hall, and they saw 3 elders waiting for them inside.

"Clyde, Richard, Frederick, Victor, despite our different surnames, we are all from the same family, the family descended from the great Red Angel, Medici. May you bring glory to our family" said one of the elders solemnly.

He then proceeded to give a mirror and one of the holy artefacts of their clan, which was the red box to Clyde, who received it silently.

"I will tell you about the precautions to take while using the Self Mirror and how to handle the red box later. You will set off at dawn" he continued.

"While you are in the populated parts of Binsy, there is a task you must complete. I will hand you a formation. Find a building called the telegraph office, where a believer called Reynold resides, and install it there" said one of the elders at the side. The other two looked like they wanted to say something, but they hesitated and choose to remain silent.

"I keep telling you I have a bad feeling. It's good if I am wrong, but if I am right, this could serve as a valuable backup" the elder told the other two.

The other two nodded. "Very well, that mission must be completed before you depart to Pritz Harbour. You can all go and have some rest, and say goodbyes to your loved ones, because you are expected to be gone a while. At dawn, I will use a powerful mystical item that can conceal you from the Gods and Angels that roam the outside world, and bear its negative effects myself. I wish you the best" said the lead elder as he dismissed them.

Frederick did as the elder told, and composed himself and bade farewell to everyone he knew in the realm.
