Chapter 2244 - 819: The Clever and Resourceful Edna

"Hill, do you know how interesting Edna is?" Lansendel said with a smile, "A girl raised by the Undead Tribe, truly, quite unconventional."

Hill slightly opened his mouth, turning his head to glance at Shaer hidden behind the vines.

"Don’t worry about Shaer, the Undead Tribe knows quite a lot too," Lansendel laughed openly twice. "At least the people of the Black Rose surely know.

Edna often directly asks them for help with many things."

Hill’s eyes widened slightly: this was obviously Edna setting a trap for Shaer... what could the Undead Tribe do in this?

After all, Edna knew about William and Shaer’s relationship!

William could see any action of the Undead Tribe... moreover, he would clearly share those matters of Torel with Shaer.

It’s not that William constantly pays attention to things affecting Shaer; he simply wouldn’t focus on Torel.

Rather, to avoid any misunderstanding with those Torel deities who have alliances with the Undead Tribe, William set up a visual center in Felunryel.

Countless giant screens stood there, and any deity wanting to know about matters concerning themselves could go there and find out.

The core of the connection between the Temporal Artifact and these deities is also stored in Gerns... otherwise, Lansendel and Shaer would not be able to issue tasks to the Undead Tribe so easily.

These Task Puppets seem only connected to the Undead Tribe’s flat panel, but in essence, they must first link to Gerns before being written into the Undead Tribe’s flat panel.

The God of Time and Space and William are both intelligent and rational beings... since they had no intention of intervening in Torel’s affairs, they wouldn’t let Torel’s allies think they were hiding anything.

But they also couldn’t let them enter Teraxil, nor allow them direct access to the Temporal Artifact located in the Space-Time God Country.

Gerns, being the first world to reach the universe for Teraxil, had its space weakened by the ravages of demons and devils, making it particularly suitable at this time.

After all, the Teraxil deities are almost equivalent to the deities of Gerns... the only outlier being Shaer on the Dark Moon.

Although they do not require faith, they channel Gerns people’s gratitude to repair the broken world, but all occurrences in Gerns can still be sensed by the Teraxil deities.

The only remaining entities in Gerns are the perpetually slumbering Silvermoon and the world will with only the shallowest reactions... their repairs are measured by millennia, and this is mainly because Teraxil didn’t plan to invade Gerns, and when Teraxil Silvermoon appeared, without using her true name, she simply let the Gerns people’s thoughts dwell upon Silvermoon.

This indeed left Gerns with the potential to become an independent world once again.

But it also created another problem... while Gerns people’s Faith Power is restored to the world itself, without a single intentional will, it becomes challenging to track the repair of the world’s outer wall.

The areas being replenished by Faith Power are all random.

Yet the Teraxil deities genuinely shy away from Faith Power, none daring to touch it.

Until William constructed this central hall with countless screens and communication devices at the world’s center, attracting several Torel deities.

Coron, in fact, has always disregarded and not accepted faith... the gifts offered by believers are indeed rewarded by him, but that’s actually more of a fair trade.

He appreciates certain artworks and, having taken them, will offer what he considers an equivalent return.

However, he won’t respond to unnecessary prayers... despite having exclusive priests and exclusive divine arts, it’s more akin to paying wages.

Otherwise, Coron’s priests would not all specialize in swordplay and magic, with divine arts mainly serving as support.

Thus, even though he was the earliest external god to appear in Gerns, he is of no use in this aspect... Coron is the type who, once things reach a certain stage, sees no reason to force it.

When the area originally inhabited by the elves was no longer suitable for them, the Father of Elves chose to simply leave rather than trying to improve his homeland.

Though he surely tried and failed.

But he would absolutely not demand the elves to sacrifice their lives and souls for such matters... not even one.

In contrast, the arrival of the Torel Gods, in another way, could help stabilize Gerns’ fragile world membrane.

Even Tyr understood how to command Faith Power.

The only fortunate aspect is that the Torel Gods who came to Gerns, including the War God Tampas, do not have inappropriate desires or demands... such as thinking the unaligned Faith Power everywhere could belong to them.

No matter what they think in their hearts, at least publicly, they’re just helping Gerns.

And it was precisely due to the sincerity these deities displayed that William opened up more things related to the Undead Tribe to them.

Task Puppets like Lansendel only appeared after Gerns.

Of course, the central hall filled with large and small screens relies on these deities to observe and manage.

William isn’t responsible for organizing it for them.

That’s why Lansendel frequently mutters about not having enough avatars... previously, they only lacked avatars capable of combat.

Now, even those projection avatars are scarcely enough.

After all, there are simply too many Undead, spread across several worlds... aside from Teraxil, there are other places where these deities can access the knowledge they wish to know.

Among these busy deities, there is an exception... Although William won’t do anything for Shaer, he does offer some conveniences to his dear girlfriend.

All information related to Shaer will directly appear on a screen in a certain area... Shaer doesn’t need to sense and search for information related to herself like other deities.

She just needs to turn her head up, down, left, and right.

Edna, to be able to use the Undead Tribe, manages to make Shaer, with such advantages, suffer a silent loss?

Hill’s mind went blank... With his shallow knowledge reserve, he couldn’t figure out how Edna did it.

Even though Shaer felt Hill’s gaze, she remained silent.

Not even a hint of movement.

"Heh, don’t underestimate that girl." Lansendel continued speaking to himself, "By the way, the Nysa scrolls in that Great Library of hers were given by you!"

Hill tilted his head in disbelief... Really?

"Edna declared her intention to collect all the Nysa scrolls.

That set of Nysa scrolls was already dismantled into fragments!

She declared that those who only have fragments can seek out people from the Black Rose family with the Mystra medal to submit them, and then the person can stay in the Great Library for three full years.

During this period, they are allowed to transcribe all the books in the Great Library, and of course, they can sit there in front of the Nysa scrolls, watching without moving.

Ah~ this time can even be accumulated.

Taking hundreds of years to complete this three-year period is no problem."

Hill slightly curled his lips... Presumably, many Archmages who originally did not want to or dared not enter Edna Mistrala’s God’s Favored Land would be tempted.

Edna’s intention is actually quite clear: If you don’t want others to know you have earned this privilege, you can secretly find elite figures from the Black Rose Family... The requirement set by Edna is to those she gave the medal.

In fact, she bestowed blessings related to magic on the entire Black Rose Family... it’s like a buff that fails if they leave the family.

And while having a good relationship with the people of Black Rose, among them, there may be even better ones.

For example, ’Cunlü’ and her companions.

Furthermore, allies like ’Snow Cloud Peak’ helped her a lot in the past, Edna couldn’t ignore that.

So, she created the Edna Medal.

According to their relationship with her, she divided them into three kinds: from milky white to silver, and then to silver-blue.

Black Rose, plus the medal, are almost the people who spent the longest time with her... Even if they haven’t interacted closely, they have accompanied her across mountains and seas.

These people will indeed keep Edna’s secrets.

Regardless of whether the fragments submitted by those Archmages belong to the Nysa scrolls or not... As long as Edna said they are, they definitely won’t ask why they appear black.

When Hill heard this part, he already guessed what happened... That Book of the Dark Night, the one Shaer least wanted to appear, must have appeared.

That thing, actually isn’t very useful.

Though it is said to contain the deepest secrets of the Lady of the Night, it’s just like that.

It’s all about how she could restart the world, and Shaer’s absolute control over the darkness.

However, this Book of the Dark Night is not falsely written despite its simplicity.

Moreover, unknowingly it touches the laws of the Dark Night, and it can truly connect with Shaer.

This makes Shaer, who always values her privacy and regards her hidden divinity as her own asset, very dissatisfied.

Therefore, she cursed everyone who read this book, and of course, the book itself.

Anyway, rumors say this book, although it seemingly disappeared into the darkness, actually fell into the hands of a certain Archmage.

To avoid drawing Shaer’s attention, that Archmage tore the book into pieces.

The reason for this rumor is naturally because, afterward, there were rumors that Shaer caused several world extinctions.

It seems, indeed it is not just a ’rumor’.

At least, for Edna, it is not.

Lansendel’s words can only prove she was premeditated.

"Ah~" ’Perfect Bald’ tilted his head a bit in confusion, "You should know! Among the fragments Edna asked us to collect, some aren’t completely black~

Nysa scrolls are either gold or silver, how could they be black."
