According to the plan, Mera and Chabron were supposed to take the [Lightning Train] to Rainbow Castle as normal.
But before that, Chabron had finally seen what "this priest is obviously super powerful but overly cautious".
Mera, the knowledge priest, has always been cautious, thoughtful, and good at predicting magic.
Therefore, the black-haired girl who is a level 10 priest will first pray to the Eternal One every night to tell her plans for the next period of time. Then, she will use the ritual spell [Theosophy] to ask the Eternal Light a few questions.
question.
The fifth-level ritual spell [Theosophy] allows the gods to answer the supplicant's 3 general questions (i.e., whether questions). If used repeatedly within a day, it will alert the [Ancient Covenant], obscure the oracle, and accumulate the probability of failure.
.
Usually the first question is "Will it be dangerous if I do XX tomorrow/the day after tomorrow?" Most of the time the answer is no, but if the answer is "yes", then Murrah will immediately use the remaining
The number of questions asked to narrow down the source of danger as much as possible - although usually only "yes", "no", and "don't know" can be obtained as answers, by combining existing intelligence, key information can always be obtained.
Some time before departure, the questions Murrah asked were——
[Question 1]. Will my life be in danger if I take the [Lightning Train] as planned the day after tomorrow? Answer: Yes
[Question 2]. Is danger closely related to a god? Answer: No
[Question 3]. Does the danger arise from an item numbered by [Pangloss Company]? Answer: Yes
(After asking this question, Mera began to use another ritual spell [Prophecy] to obtain a small amount of symbolic omens to narrow the scope of the question. After getting a glimpse of the secret hints of fate from the prophecies, she took out a pen and paper to compare the more likely ones.
The abnormal items are listed, then bear the failure rate and cast [Theosophy] again and continue to ask questions.)
[Question 4]. Is the source of danger an anomaly with threat level 3 or 4? Answer: Yes
[Question 5]. Is the source of danger one or more of [3-075], [3-024], [4-86], [4-53]? Answer: Yes
("Miss Murrah, I remember [3-075] is Wind Breath Town. I am worried that the anomaly in this town has not actually been lifted, right?" Chabron admired from the side.)
[Question 6]. Is the lightning train or station I will ride on a disguised [4-86] imitator of all things? Answer: Yes
------------------
All in all, through a series of prophetic ritual operations, Mera quickly identified the source of the danger - the "imitator of all things" with company number [4-86].
Murrah briefly described the nature of the project to Chabron:
[4-86] is not an individual, but a large class of creatures. As a whole, they can be numbered as anomalies with threat level 4. Such creatures are distant relatives or higher-level creatures of ordinary mimics.
Version.
Generally, the mimic monsters encountered by adventurers are only level 3 and 4 monsters, often disguised as treasure chests. After more than 100 unlucky people were eaten by the treasure box, when they saw the treasure box, they first remotely cast "Effective only for living things"
The magic has become the instinct of contemporary adventurers.
The [4-86] "Imitator of All Things" is much larger, and its flesh-and-blood camouflaged vehicle can also simulate most of the functions of the original vehicle.
Dark stories are widely circulated in the port city - an ocean-going ship goes out to sea with enthusiastic sailors, and in the center of the ocean, the sailboat will eat every crew member. The sailors are tortured by the first mate in their sleep
Awakened by howls, they cried helplessly in the center of the ocean far away from the continent. The cries on the ship would continue until dawn the next day, until the sun was reflected on the scarlet sea.
The largest legendary level [4-86] "imitator of all things" is called "demon realm" by adventurers. It will fake a specific environment - such as a mountain range, a lonely canyon, a small lake, and a deep dark cave.
In history, there was once a [4-86] controlled by an evil mage that disguised itself as a small city. The residents of the city were both living people and dummies created by the "imitator of all things" who separated their flesh and blood.
The people who are still alive and the travelers who stray into it do not know that the humans who accompany them day and night are actually part of the monster's body, and the hotel bed will show its fangs to them in the middle of the night. But this is irrelevant——
After the sun rises the next day, the blood stains will be wiped away, and the eaten passengers will be able to walk out of the hotel unscathed, but with a slightly dull expression.
---------------
In order to contain this [4-86], and to let Chabron understand the containment mechanism of [Pangloss Company], the adoptive father of the little pastor Meraling, Matru, and the two children Jacks, Aaliyah, and Anluo, came to
Nearby cities use the civilian [Teleportation Formation] to go to Rainbow Castle, the arcane city.
As for herself, she took Cha Bron to contact the nearby [Company] station, and cooperated with other nearby [Company] members to disperse the passengers at the station on the grounds that "there was a problem with the train and urgent maintenance was needed."
After spending some effort to disperse the ordinary passengers, the serious black-haired girl and the boy, disguised as passengers who did not know the truth, boarded the train of this flight - they were gentle and elegant, like sacrifices placed on the altar of the devil. Look.
It looks harmless to humans and animals, and is pleasant to humans, just like a delicacy brought to your mouth.
The experienced Mera was already prepared to deal with monsters normally, including preparing potions and spells specifically designed to restrain "morphling monsters", "mimic monsters", "werewolves", "transforming sea spirits" and other shape-shifting creatures.
She blessed herself and Chabron with magical buffs in advance: [Resist Elemental Damage·Strong Acid] to resist acid, [Assistance Spell] to strengthen tenacity and vitality, [Gift Prayer] to grant luck, and [Freedom of Movement] to grant conceptual freedom.

Then, Mera used divine magic that lasted for one hour to summon a celestial creature, allowing her to follow the lightning train in the air and take decisive action when necessary. Chabron handed the [Disguise Hat] to the person who responded
The secondary angel allows her to cover up her wings and disguise herself as an ordinary passing mage riding a broomstick - it is normal for a witch riding a broomstick to fly near Rainbow Castle, the arcane city, but one that looks like an angel
Living things flying in the air are still too ostentatious.
In particular, the "simulant of all things" has basic intelligence and hunter's intuition, so it is difficult not to be wary of the angels in the sky.
If it weren't for [Disguise], as a first-level spell, the illusion effect produced is too limited and must follow the original body shape and general body outline, otherwise Chabron (when he is sure that he will not be beaten) may ask the angel to
The lady disguised herself as a big bird.
------------------
On the train of flesh and blood, the divine power of the eternal light successfully intervenes in the present world!
This is a battle without suspense.
Deep in the astral ocean, the kingdom of eternal light is projected here: the garden bathed in the morning light is like a frozen movie scene: the pure fountain falls into stasis while surging, while the water droplets popping up from the fountain float.
In the sky, the seven colors of the sun are reflected.
The three of them heard the singing - the singing was clear and sweet as if it came from a girl with an extraordinary singing voice, and it was wise and solemn as if it came from a learned old man.
(Thanks to [Kuroba Akira] and [Nanglilangah] for their 1,500 reward!!!!)
