The Dragon'S Blue Gem
(S3) Chapter 162 [Raven Member Meeting]

Raven Headquarters

Gluttony, the leader of this secret organization, is waiting for his members to come along and set his mind. It didn't take too long for the other Raven members to get there. After all they have embedded waypoints in several places in order to be able to travel long distances quickly. One of those waypoints is right in Raven's gathering room.

"Oh? Are we the first?" said Lust who suddenly appeared thanks to teleport waypoint, followed by Pride.

Gluttony just nodded small and sat back in his chair. The room they occupied was a special room equipped with various magic ranging from protection, regeneration to small magic like cleaning. The room contained a long oval table surrounded by 7 black chairs with different shades and colors. Black cabinets with different contents surrounded the walls of the room. And there's a big screen on the other side of the table that everyone can see.

(Just take the floor plan like gini. Sorry ugly, author males pictures)

Getting cold reactions from Gluttony, Pride and Lust didn't really care about it. They immediately walked towards their seats which were to the south and southwest of the room.

"There's something I want to talk about later. Please take your time" Pride said amid the silence.

"Alright," replied Gluttony briefly.

Within minutes, the waypoint shone again and brought up the other three Raven members out of nowhere.

"Sorry, we're late! We have to take care of the exit permit first!"

The three of them came in a hurry so that their heavy breathing could be heard.

"It's okay, you're not late. Sit down," Gluttony replied calmly.

"Fyuhh... thank goodness not to be nagged this time. Thank you for being the chairman of OSIS, so take care of it quickly" Wrath said.

"Yahh.. Thanks to this guy too we're almost late. Who was the one who had been tempted by the beautiful new disciple in the middle of the road?" all Sloth.

"Woi! I'm not flirting with you! What I did was ba-sa ba-si. Basics," Shall Wrath.

"What kind of pleasantries are up to name, address to romance?"

"You know what nolep knows. This is common among nobles," said Wrath.

"What did you say!?" angry Sloth.

"J!!!"

"!!!"

With just a single daze from Pride, Wrath and Sloth instantly fell silent and sat in an orderly manner in their respective seats. All three sat in the front seats of Pride and Lust, leaving empty seats in the southeast where Envy was sitting, their members who could not attend.

Gluttony glanced at the members in turn. "Can we start the meeting?"

The six Raven members nodded in response. As the focus of the members had returned, Gluttony started the meeting he organized. He used the large screen in the west of the room as a medium. A hologram screen similar to that status window began to display some images.

The first image was the face of Adam, the leader of the Trading Guild.

"I've made a connection with this guy. You may already know who he is, but let me say it again. His name was Adam, this man who now served as the Guild Master of the Trading Guild."

"He's already made a contract with Raven. Of course for that sake, I explained a little about Raven. In his contract, he will help spread Projects Declan as a merchant by utilizing all his connections to the world."

"Wrath who will be the dealer for nobles, especially high-level nobles."

"1 Week away, I will send you as a Raven bridge with the Trading Guild for a while."

"While?" ask Wrath.

"Yes, temporarily. Only until the beginning of the spread. After all your role is a bridge with nobles. The role of a bridge with the trade guild will be entrusted to Greed" Gluttony replied.

"W-me!?" shocked Greed.

"Thou-I can't do it. Please leave it to the others. I'm enough.. be a blacksmith Raven...." Greed's nervousness did not shake Gluttony at all.

"Just calm. I won't force you to do it either. In 1 week with Wrath, meet the man. Then, do everything you can to let him learn from you."

"Learning...?"

"Your skill is a greedy skill. You need a lot of gold coins to get stronger. That's why I want you to try to learn from Adam. If he can get him to raise you to become his disciple and obtain a foundation in the Trading Guild for Raven."

"But I can't possibly do that." Greed said in a speech of no confidence.

Gluttony let out a small sigh, "Do you know? The Seven Deadly Sins Skill was a skill formed to adapt its users. If the 'Greed' skill is a skill that absorbs gold coins. It means that in you, it is embedded talent to obtain large amounts of gold so that it does not matter even if the gold is used for the skill."

Although somewhat hesitant, Greed nodded in agreement, "I understand! Demi... Raven!"

"Good," Gluttony smiled.

Since the first problem had been resolved, Gluttony changed the on-screen image into the necklace image he had seen just a moment ago. The man also showed the specifications of the necklace on the screen.

"That canyon...!"

Pride and Lust instantly recognized the necklace, in contrast to Wrath, Sloth and Greed. Of course Gluttony had thought of it from the beginning.

"Golden Light River, that's his name. I'll explain it from the beginning, so listen carefully."

Gluttony begins to explain what happened from him accidentally seeing Adam while returning to the Academy until parting ways with him. He also explained why the necklace was sold and who the seller and buyer were.

"What do you think, Pride? Lust?" gluttony asked after the explanation was finished.

"What do you think the necklace was used for that hero from another world?"

Lust immediately shook her head, "That's impossible. The mana within the necklace was very different from where otherworldly people were. Utilizing the task as teachers, we've identified where people call it at the beginning of learning."

"If they wear the necklace, the effect received instead of buff is even debuff."

"so yeah. So not for them. Who's that for, then?" confused Gluttony.

Pride thought for a moment before answering him. It felt, his messy mind was instantly neatly organized after hearing Gluttony's explanation.

"The puzzle piece is complete."

"?"

"What does that mean?"

Pride took over the operational display from Gluttony's hands. Thanks to the memory projector Envy created earlier, Pride can show the information in his memory to the screen as long as the memory has not been buried far away.

The first image he showed was a magnificent temple that was the core of the Anessa Empire.

"Before I start explaining, please listen to these information starting from the ground up first."

Once the other four members, unless Lust agreed to it, Pride began to re-explain a few things.

"As you know. The Anessa Empire has been hiding a lot. Even for an information guild, it was not easy to enter the gap to know the information from this place. After various struggles, we can figure out some important things."

The image on the screen turned into an old woman in a golden white robe that looked authoritative. His hair was gray and his skin was loosened, but his eyes were still sharp. There was no one in the Sacred Continent who did not know him.

"You know who he is" Pride began.

"Pope of the Anessa Empire, isn't he?" answer Wrath.

"really. He's the Pope" Pride nods.

"There have been 12 generations of whales so far. Starting from the beginning of the formation of the Anessa Empire, several millennia ago until now. The Pope himself is different. And the current generation of Popes are human beings, or at least that's what people know."

"What does that mean? What do you know differently?" ask Sloth.

Lust stood up from her chair and walked over to the screen. His left hand touched the face of the whale that was plastered on the hologram. "This woman is not a human being."

"?"

"In the investigation my team conducted, we have some evidence that shows that this woman is not human. And his current appearance was not his original appearance. Most likely, this old woman called the pope belongs to the longevity race" Lust explained.

"While I don't know, what race it was and how long it lived. Therefore the pope before and before again could be the same person."

"!!!"

"Long life suit.. So you mean, he faked his age and appearance? On what basis?" gluttony was trying to understand.

Pride replaced the on-screen image into an image of teenage children from another world. "It looks like it's for the sake of camouflage the plan."

"It's just speculation. But I am 97% sure that the Pope is planning something dangerous and takes a very long time to materialize. If he does not fake his age, such suspicious things can attract the attention of the world so that his movement becomes limited. But if he was just an ordinary man who could not live more than 100 years, people would not have thought that a plan that took hundreds of years to realize it could be done."
