"When you were very young, I noticed some differences about you."

"Your maturity far beyond children of your age, your thirst for knowledge, and even learning many languages of the northern and southern continents."

"And your desire for extraordinary power, and the fact that you became a Blessed of Evernight. These things always made me feel like something was chasing you."

"My child, you can confide your worries in me. Remember, no matter what happens, I and the East Chester family will stand behind you."

Looking at Duke East Chester, who had a look of concern on his face across the desk, Aaron's Adam's apple bobbed, and he lowered his head.

"I know, Father. I love you, I love Mother, I love Avonie, I love everyone who cares about me and matters to me."

"Precisely because of this, I don't want to see tragedy unfold before my eyes while I am powerless to do anything."

"I don't want to regret it later. I want to change some things and protect those I care about."

Duke East Chester glanced at the bowed head of the young man across from him, then suddenly stood up and walked to his side.

He smiled with relief, reached out and patted his head, saying with satisfaction, "Aaron, you've really grown up."

"Everyone has their own secrets. I believe in you, my child. Whatever you want to do, I will be your strongest support. Go forth boldly."

Aaron raised his head and looked at Duke East Chester beside him, nodding slowly but firmly.

After the conversation ended, Aaron returned to his bedroom. Avonie had already fallen asleep under the care of her personal maid and didn't come looking for him to play.

Standing before the French window, looking at the red moon outside, he silently pondered the gains and losses of the day.

First, he confirmed his faith, successfully met with the Evernight Goddess, gained Her initial recognition and trust, and obtained the status of Her Blessed.

Second, he had a conversation with his father, Duke East Chester, confided his true feelings, explained his real thoughts, and gained his father's support and affirmation.

Finally, through this series of actions, Aaron wanted to show his father, Duke East Chester, that he had a close connection with the Evernight Goddess and was deeply favored by the deity.

Furthermore, he wanted to show his uniqueness to the source of the East Chester family, the Night Emperor's son, Varna Weil, that "He", so that he could meet that ancestor as soon as possible and gain the full support of the East Chester family.

After all, in the Fifth Epoch, when true gods have retreated to the astral world to maintain the primordial barrier, the help an angel on the ground can provide is unimaginable.

Even as a Blessed of the Evernight Goddess, the Church of the Evernight Goddess only provides some convenience and support.

After all, the Church is the Church, and the Goddess is the Goddess. What the Evernight Goddess knows, She may not necessarily tell the Church.

It would be somewhat fanciful to want to persuade the Church to give full support based solely on the status of a Blessed. Therefore, direct help from the Church is limited; it's more often intangible, hidden assistance.

Therefore, since he has the conditions, he must make full use of them. The status of the Evernight Goddess's Blessed can serve as a springboard, allowing him to meet the source of the East Chester family before becoming a demigod and have a chance to persuade "He".

Gaining the full support of an angel family would be greatly beneficial for some future plans.

Aaron pondered for a moment, then quickly entered the smaller inner partition next to the master bedroom, found four candles, and placed them in the four corners of the partition.

After making the necessary preparations, he lit the four candles one by one, picked up the silver dagger, finished chanting in Hermes, and meditated on the scene of spirituality spreading and surging from the tip of the blade.

An invisible force surged outwards. Aaron, holding the silver dagger, circled the partition. His spiritual intuition gave feedback that spiritual walls had indeed been erected around him, excluding all impurities and interference.

Aaron sat on the chair, closed his eyes, and meditated to restore his spirituality. After a moment, he closed his eyes, let his spirituality spread, and connected his consciousness to the boundless dark gold mist infinitely high in the spiritual sky.

Passing through the dark gold mist where illusory whispers and roars echoed, Aaron opened his eyes again.

Inside the magnificent grand hall, on the tall throne deep within, Aaron looked down at the four contracting and expanding light spots. He hesitated for a moment but then extended his spirituality towards one of the light spots.

Lenberg capital, Azshara. Checker Ward handed in today's mission at Old John's Bar and received his bounty.

Clenching his money bag tightly, dragging his weary body, he returned to his home in the southern district of Azshara. He greeted his mother, who was washing clothes, and his sister, who was diligently reading under the gas lamp, forcing a relaxed facade under the worried gaze of his family.

Returning to his small room, he took out a brown-covered notebook and a black iron box from a compartment in his bed. From the lining of his jacket, he took out an ancient knight's short sword and placed them all on the table in front of him.

As he caressed the ancient knight's short sword and the black iron box, he opened the brown-covered notebook.

The notebook contained a lot of information. It was a relic left to him by his father, who passed away two years ago from severe injuries, just before his death.

For the past two years, he would take it out and carefully read through it every day, to remember the mission he carried.

The Ward family was originally an Intis Viscount family. During Emperor Roselle's era, they supported the reforms and were recognized as firm supporters of Roselle.

Over a hundred years ago, Roselle was assassinated and died. The Ward family was consequently purged by the Sauron Royal Family.

Under the desperate resistance of the then-patriarch, Sequence 5 "Reaper," and the family's Beyonders, a small portion of the family's descendants fled Intis with their wealth and some Beyonder ingredients, seeking refuge in Loen's capital, Azshara.

His grandfather died during that escape. Two years ago, his father, who was already a Sequence 7 "Pyromaniac," traveled alone to Intis to seek advancement, only to return severely wounded and eventually die from his injuries.

Following his father's dying instructions, he placed the red crystal that condensed on his father's body after death into the black iron box and never opened it again.

The ancient knight's short sword was said to be a relic of the Ward family's ancestor, always enshrined in the deep tower of the family until it was taken out and carried away during the family's disaster. He had always carried it close to him, praying for the ancestor's protection.

Now, he had become a bounty hunter, working hard to earn the Beyonder ingredients needed to become a Sequence 9 "Hunter."

As for the option of joining the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom, he wasn't planning to consider it. Once he joined the Church, his freedom would be restricted, and there would be no hope of returning to Intis.

However, his sister could join the Church. He could bear the family's responsibilities himself, which would make things easier for his mother.

The young man sat by the table, his thoughts wandering, not noticing the faint glint on the ancient short sword beside him, and a gaze observing him.

Above the dark gold mist, inside the magnificent grand hall, Aaron on the throne withdrew his spirituality and mused to himself.

Checker Ward, former Intis Viscount, purged by the Sauron Royal Family. Hmm... confirmed, it's Old Huang's doing.

Hunter pathway, very responsible, with a motivation for revenge. Not bad, has potential for development.

The Sauron Royal Family should have an angel of the Hunter pathway... Father is only Sequence 4 now. We can plan carefully when the time comes.
