Facing an Ancient God for a Year

Chapter 2079: Chapter 2074: Dancer (20)

”Your Excellency means to say that I should find an opportunity to remind the Night Watchman about the uncertain risks present with the Dancer?”

The initially serious declaration was unexpectedly dismissed by the other party casually.

The mysterious ”Wang’s” attitude clearly left Leiden completely bewildered.

It didn’t seem like a joke.

Gazing at that serene face, in a trance, Leiden really felt a touch of ”divinity” from it, and he cautiously confirmed in the end.

”No, everything.”

However, Fu Qian shook his head again, gesturing between them.

”All exchanges? Including Gregor’s theory?”

Leiden was even more confused for a moment.

The original proposal to maintain confidentiality was a statement of doing one’s utmost.

After all, although the conversation earlier did not contain many sensitive topics, the other party’s mysterious demeanor presumably meant some subjects should not be known to the Night Watchman.

The fact that he so straightforwardly expressed it was unnecessary? If it wasn’t a joke, this stance was excessively high—

”No, what I mean by everything is that even my current actions can be spoken about, there’s nothing that cannot be said.”

However, the next moment, Leiden directly experienced a triple denial.

Fu Qian finally placed his hand on his own face, smiling as he emphasized.

”Of course, the answer to your previous question is your own gain and can be kept at your discretion.”

...

It really was all the content from today’s exchange... this ”Wang” didn’t even mind being exposed to the Night Watchman?

Though the demeanor from the person across was so agreeable, Mr. Leiden was utterly dumbfounded.

Completely unpredictable that the other party didn’t mind exposure at all.

Mysterious and unfathomable, even suspecting great strength, yet even a true ”Ancient King” can’t be imagined to disregard the Night Watchman so much.

Although not of high ranking, Leiden considered himself to have a certain discerning insight.

When earlier the other party indicated that the exchange content could be told to the Night Watchman, he somewhat understood that it could be an intentional maneuver to use the Night Watchman to achieve some special purpose.

A risky action, but not unfathomable.

The result was such apparent malicious intent, there really was no need to help keep it secret?

Included the fact that the other party came forward, the exchange content, and even the active statement allowing it to be told to the Night Watchman... this obvious utilization was beyond being merely described as bold.

Though for himself and the club, this was indeed the choice needing the least risk.

”Understood.”

Even if momentarily shaken into confusion, the next instant Leiden still nodded in agreement.

Perhaps unable to comprehend the logic behind the other’s actions, but one thing was sure, the other party was serious.

”Thanks for sharing, I’ve learned a lot today.”

Fu Qian was also sure he understood this, thus immediately excused himself politely.

...

Indeed, he wants to use the Night Watchman.

Considering using local security forces to further stir the situation was thought of during the first attempt at making a living.

Unfortunately, as seen later, that spectacled buddy guarding the place ultimately couldn’t break through his limitations, choosing to silently bear business losses.

Waiting till now, such a good opportunity presenting itself, it would be such a loss not to go with the flow.

For Mr. Leiden, the gratitude wasn’t just a courtesy, the exchange earlier indeed was highly beneficial.

The most core part of it undoubtedly was the past and present of the ”Dancer.”

Leiden and the club members’ views, to be honest, align with rational judgment.

Just an ill-taste commercial messing with traditional culture, even its emergence hasn’t been long.

To claim that what they do represents hidden extraordinary powers in traditional human culture or a biological evolution representation is hardly something anyone would believe.

Not to mention the subsequently evolved anti-conception power, something even admitted ineffective by the practitioners themselves.

While the same information fell into Fu Qian’s sight, it inspired a speculation related to the blasphemy that needed prohibition in the mission.

...

The folk art prototype performed by the Dancers was actually a prayer dance representing ancient faiths, except they no longer knew the object of their prayers.

This might also be why the Night Watchman allowed its existence, given the missing content is indeed too vast.

The fact also proves, apart from boosting tourism development, it indeed hasn’t triggered any abnormal extraordinary reaction... much like ”Inviolable.”

Unfortunately, earlier in the day, the ”Inviolable” gained an owner.

This change not only made those cheap glass products genuinely effective but also awakened the previously unmanifest blasphemy—the Ancient Supremes pointed at by the divine dance.

Perhaps in a poor state, perhaps not even alive, but certain symbols associated with Them have, through this mediating role of the Dancer, linked with ”Inviolable” or even spawned an alternative concept.

For example, it’s like someone accidentally finding a box of unseen coins, doodling on them, claiming they’re their issue, usable for goods, but no one believes or cares.

Until one day, suddenly, a country designates that money as legal tender, and the person’s act now potentially defaces the currency—known as ”blasphemy.”

Yet simultaneously, an important point is that the guy benefited from the legal tender’s light, making this money somewhat effective... It’s hard to predict what impact this will have on the state of that Ancient Supreme.

If it is true, the only strange point in this hypothesis might be why the warehouse sent this task in the first place.

After all, if this ”third cause’s” owner doesn’t show up, the negative effects don’t exist, is it truly necessary to create a problem and then solve it oneself?

Unless continuing the fake currency defacement behavior deeply may one day result in serious consequences that cannot be left unchecked.

In brief, it’s just a hypothesis for now, immediate proof is unavailable.

However, means directly addressing such a hypothesis can be taken instantly—

Leiden will certainly contact the Night Watchman, and regardless of how questionable the mysterious character is or how unbelievable the words are, the terms ”Inviolable” and Dancer will definitely be delivered to the Night Watchman.

Even if they purely want to catch himself, they’ll still have to pay attention.

Even more cleverly, as long as attention is given, soon unprecedented anomalies will be discovered.

Because the owner of the ”third cause” has returned.

This is truly an overt scheme.

Of course, no one knows what that malicious power is currently doing—

”Anke’s back? Thought you got lost.”

As night approached, Fu Qian didn’t exert much effort to find the hotel where the travel group stayed.

And almost upon entering the lobby, he was spotted by the captain brother standing there, who greeted him warmly.
