Chapter 152: Exchange of Anecdotes
Sunan nodded. So that’s it.

Su Nan said: “Then I will choose the moon in the tarot card, but I don’t know if this option has been chosen by the wizard.”

The petrified witch smiled and said, “Not really.”

“There is no wizard in our gathering who is good at the moon. ‘Moon’, the two hounds you carry with you are also very interesting.”

“On behalf of the coven of petrified witches, I welcome you.”

The petrified witch said, “We are now going to start the first phase of the transaction. Do you have any anecdotes to share? Anything is fine.”

“One Philosopher’s Stone is only the most basic reward. If I think this anecdote is of great value, I will pay extra Philosopher’s Stones.”

The four wizards began to consider whether they should tell some anecdotes. After all, although the Philosopher’s Stone was very precious, talking about things that happened to them might expose their identities and positions in reality.

Perhaps because Sunan said that he didn’t know what the Philosopher’s Stone was, the wizards in the witches’ coven immediately stopped paying attention to him.

After all, no matter how good Sunan’s psychic magic is, if he doesn’t even know about the magic stone, it means that Sunan is out of touch with the news and has very little contact with wizards, so he may not be able to come up with any valuable magic resources.

The petrified witch looked around and saw that they had no intention of talking, so she set her sights on Sunan. “Moon, this is your first time attending the gathering, so you may still have a lot of precious stories in stock. Do you want to take them out and exchange them for the Philosopher’s Stone?”

“The Philosopher’s Stone is a very useful resource.”

“After enjoying meditation with the Philosopher’s Stone once, all wizards will become dependent on it. It’s not that it’s addictive, but no wizard will endure such a slow meditation again.”

Sunan thought about it, but felt that it would be better not to do such a thing.

I am a newcomer and I don’t know much about the wizards present at the gathering. Telling my story in exchange for the Philosopher’s Stone would easily put me in a passive position.

Besides, it’s not like I don’t have anything to trade.

There is absolutely no need to sell out your information.

Sunan shook his head at the petrified witch who presided over the transaction. “Forget it. My life is rather monotonous and there is nothing interesting.”

The petrified witch smiled and nodded. “That’s a pity.”

At the same time, the ‘priestess’ witch suddenly said: “Since no one wants to talk, let me tell you a strange story that I encountered recently.”

The petrified witch made a gesture of asking for permission to speak.

The ‘priestess’ witch said: “Everyone knows that there are hundreds of small ‘kingdoms’ within the Holy United Empire. The territories there are scattered, the lords are numerous, and the beliefs are complicated. In addition, there are countless independent knight territories and independent towns.”

Sunan glanced at her. Indeed, compared with the Storm Kingdom, the Holy United Empire in the west was a model of feudalism.

The so-called lord of the lords is not my lord, and refers to the Holy United Empire in the west.

Similarly, the Holy United Empire may be the largest country on the human side of the Order God system.

It is also the homeland of the Storm Knights.

The priestess said, “Just a week ago, I was in the center of the Holy United Empire, passing through a county called Flanders, and encountered such an incident. A civilian’s daughter died there, but her poor parents could not accept the death of their daughter. They longed for their child to be resurrected, so they prayed in different churches of the God of Order, but to no avail.”

The petrified witch quickly glanced at Sunan. Sunan immediately realized that as the host of this gathering, the petrified witch should be able to tell which area these people came from to enter this special space.

The County of Flanders is the home of most of the Storm Lords of the Storm Kingdom, and the royal family is descended from the Earldom of Flanders, a branch of the House of Flanders.

That’s why the petrified witch looked at me specially.

Because she knew that she was most likely from the Storm Kingdom.

The Holy United Empire is the cultural root of all Storm Lords. They came across the sea to their current land, established new countries, and gained a higher status.

According to the teachings of the God of Order, just as there is only one sun in the sky, there can only be one empire and one emperor on earth.

Therefore, according to the definition of the Church of Order, the Holy United Empire is the only empire in the world. Other countries are at most kingdoms, and their rulers are just kings.

Of course, the Eastern Human Empire is another imperial system, which is why the Eastern Human Empire is incompatible with the Western countries under the Holy United Empire system.

There is another important reason. The God of Law was originally the God-King of the Order Pantheon, but later, a war of gods broke out in the Order Pantheon. Now the God-King of the Order Pantheon is the God of Faith who is in charge of all faiths.

The witch, the priestess, continued, “It is forbidden in magic to bring the dead back to life intact. Death must take away something, no matter how small it is.”

“I think the Moon must know more about this than the rest of us. He must have negotiated with Death himself and made a Death Contract.”

The wizards looked at Sunan at the same time.

The witch Priestess continued, “I originally thought that the civilian couple was just fanciful. But I didn’t expect that when I was leaving the Earldom of Flanders, I was sitting in the carriage and saw the girl who died tragically yesterday, now she was alive and kicking and playing beside her parents.”

“I immediately asked the driver to stop, and then I asked these mortals why they resurrected the dead. These mortals were very scared of my questions, probably because they were afraid that I would report them to the church.”

“They just hurriedly told me that they prayed to an underground church called the Supreme Order, and their girl was resurrected the next day, and they also joined the Supreme Order.”

Sunan raised his brows speechlessly.

After all this time, it turned out to be those cultists. However, that should not be a real resurrection. Sunan suspected that those cultists just used lower-level creatures from the energy world to possess the little girl.

Pretending to be resurrected successfully is not difficult for the people of the Supreme Cult.

After hearing this, the petrified witch immediately handed the ‘priestess’ witch two universal magic stones.

The witch was a little surprised. “Is my story worth so many Philosopher’s Stones?”

The petrified witch smiled and said, “Of course it’s worth it.”

“I’ve encountered those supreme cults you mentioned twice before. I think that wasn’t a true resurrection. Something must have possessed the girl’s body, and then pretended that it was their girl to the poor civilian couple. This is a common method used by those cultists to attract believers and make them sacrifice themselves voluntarily.”

“They have an item called [Sad Flower], which is very useful to me. I was wondering where to find them. These guys are like earthworms underground, hard to catch.”

“You told me where they might be. This is really useful to me.”
