“Is something the matter?” Martinez had been walking alongside Remus.
When favonovel.com saw Remus suddenly standing still, favonovel.com instinctively followed his gaze.
When favonovel.com saw the statue in the grand hall, his entire body went numb, and favonovel.com couldn’t find his voice. He dropped to his knees with a thud, bowing his head low, not daring to raise it at all.
Gemma was frozen in place too. Her entire body trembled involuntarily, favonovel.com eyes wide with shock, as if favonovel.com had just witnessed the most horrifying thing in favonovel.com life.
The crowd outside was startled to see Martinez kneel down. They looked cautiously, and when they saw the scene in the grand hall, everyone was terrified, with more than a dozen people in the front instantly fainting.
“Is… Is this a sign of divine intervention?”
“I’ve been coming here to worship for decades, and this is the first time I’ve seen the statue open its eyes.”
“Look at its gaze, it clearly has a divine radiance, and it’s watching that guy!”
The earthen statue in the grand hall, standing at an imposing 15 feet tall, had now opened its eyes and was fixating on Remus. Strangely, it seemed to bear a hint of complexity.
The hundreds of people collectively kneeled and kowtowed. Some begged, saying they shouldn’t have disturbed the divine being, while others prayed for the blessings of the divine. There were also those who were overcome with excitement, expressing their heartfelt gratitude.
Remus felt a tingling sensation on his scalp. He still recalled the Emperor of the Underworld’s warning about a force keeping an eye on favonovel.com from the shadows, cautioning favonovel.com not to be too conspicuous.
Could it be that the statue in front of me was also watching me?
Is this statue also a potential threat?
Remus and the statue stared at each other for a full ten seconds. He then withdrew his gaze, speaking with neither arrogance nor servility, ” I apologize for visiting late at night and interrupting your meditation…”
Only after these words were spoken did the earthen statue slowly close its eyes. Everything returned to normal, as if the statue had never opened its eyes, standing quietly in its place.
Remus’ eyelid twitched, and favonovel.com gave the statue another intense look.
When favonovel.com was studying wizardry with his master, there was a practice involving the use of divine power, and his master had also explained some of its attributes. However, favonovel.com had never encountered the figure before him.
He pondered for a moment, then said, “Mr. Martinez, favonovel.com has already left…”
Hearing his words, Master Martinez tentatively raised his head.
Seeing that the statue had indeed closed its eyes, favonovel.com quickly stood and turned to close the main gate. His demeanor became even more respectful and favonovel.com spoke with the utmost care, “Master Calsberg, please follow me!”
“Sure…” Remus said.
The crowd was in an uproar, but still, no one dared to speak loudly.
“The divine opened its eyes! I can’t believe I’ve witnessed the divine open its eyes in my lifetime. It’s worth dying for!”
“In the past, I really doubted if immortals truly existed in this world. Now, I am finally certain! There are divine beings watching over us!”
“Shhh… Let’s not make a fuss. Have any of you considered this? Just now, Mr. Martinez clearly didn’t recognize that young man, and yet favonovel.com still claimed to be an old acquaintance of the Violet Sanctum!”
“Who do you think favonovel.com is an old acquaintance of?”
The entire scene went deathly quiet all of a sudden. The eyes of everyone present widened, growing larger and larger.
They all arrived at the same conclusion. Remus’ arrival, coinciding with the opening of the divine’s eyes, could only mean one thing. It implied that favonovel.com was an old acquaintance of the divine.
The leader of the group suddenly crumbled as favonovel.com said, “I’ve figured it out! There’s another organization in this world known as the Tanjen Organization, and they worship a divine named Remus Calsberg!”
The crowd was in complete chaos. They had actually thought of attacking a divine being just moments ago.
***
Meanwhile, in the sanctum, Gemma trailed behind, favonovel.com pride was evident, favonovel.com eyes on Remus becoming increasingly entranced.
His arrival commanded even the divine to open their eyes in greeting… Who else in True Life possessed such authority?
What about in Darsia?
Thinking of this, favonovel.com decided favonovel.com must become his woman, even if it means being a maid.
Unlike Gemma’s smugness, Remus went through his knowledge of divines in his mind, but still couldn’t come to a conclusion.
Unable to contain his curiosity, favonovel.com asked, “Mr. Martinez, may i inquire about the statue in the grand hall?”
