Chapter 1839 Saith Raknor & Simi Piyar

Saith Raknor.

This was the name of Eren's pseudo-avatar, who had been tasked with meeting Goddess Great Mother.

Eren had given Saith the crystal-like stone he had obtained from Goddess Great Mother in Anfang. He was supposed to go to Goddess Great Mother's temple to make use of the communication medium and finally have an audience with the goddess herself.

Saith Raknor looked like an ordinary Grandmaster who wasn't supposed to possess anything too significant. He had short dark gray hair that almost looked black and a lean build with an average stature.

Saith had sharp facial features and a very stealthy and calm air around him. He represented Eren's close combat profession and was branded with the Sin of Gluttony mark.

Ever since he had been branded with Eren's powers, Saith had inadvertently started indulging in food and drink. Although his lean features stayed the same, his Individuality changed a bit.

When Saith arrived at Goddess Great Mother's temple, he needed to stay in the vicinity and wait for a while before the temple opened up to the regular devotees. When he finally got in, he was taken to meet Simi Piyar, who acted as an archpriest for the goddess and her followers.

Simi Piyar looked to be a woman in her early 30s by mortal standards. She had a round face, a small nose, red lips, supple clear skin, and beautiful black eyes. Her brunette hair was well-tied behind her head, and two bangs of hair cascaded down her face, adding extra charm to her beauty.

Simi had moderate feminine curves, which she accentuated well by wearing an aptly fit long black robe. She exuded grace and warmth every time she met with the goddess' followers.

Obviously, as a follower and archpriestess of the Goddess Great Mother, Simi's Path to Power was that of an Amazonian. She was in the S-Rank, officially called Valkyrie Priestess.

When Saith first claimed that he had some personal business with the Goddess Great Mother, Simi was very skeptical. She also heard him say that he had been given something by the goddess herself to establish contact with her.

Saith wanted to contact the goddess all by himself. However, the goddess didn't tell him how he could make use of the crystal-like stone she had given him. As such, he decided to approach Simi and ask for her help. When he saw that Simi still doubted him, he had no option but to present that crystal-like stone to her.

As soon as the stone was taken out by Saith from his Inventory, Simi looked at him in a new light. Her behavior towards him changed all of a sudden, and she started treating him as an important guest of the temple.

Saith didn't know if he could trust Simi or not. But for better or worse, he needed to trust Goddess Great Mother. And by proxy, he needed to trust her judgment in selecting the arch-priestess of her temple.

On the other hand, Simi had a lot of questions of her own. She couldn't believe that someone from outside the faith had managed to obtain such a precious item related to the Goddess Great Mother's divinity.

The arch priestess indeed first thought of robbing Saith of this stone and offering him something monetary in exchange. However, after deliberating further, she decided not to offend Goddess Great Mother by practically swindling one of her staunch followers, although she had a hard time believing that Saith was a follower of the goddess' faith.

Saith and Simi both decided to play the game of wait-and-

watch for a few days. When they both confirmed that they were not standing opposed to each other, they decided to cooperate.

Saith first requested Simi to keep his identity as someone who could contact Goddess Great Mother a secret. He didn't know if enemies were prowling outside the grand temple, but he didn't want to take a chance.

Although finding the request a bit odd, Simi agreed to Saith's request. She even helped him create fake trails of his departure from the grand temple so that he would be able to communicate with the goddess in peace.

When everything was set, Simi led Saith to the deepest parts of the grand temple before explaining to him the purpose of the crystal-like stone he was carrying.

According to Simi, the crystal-like stone was a condensation of the Goddess Great Mother's divinity that she might have obtained from centuries of faith and energy accumulation within a particular region. This crystal-like stone could be used by the arch priestess of the temple of the Goddess Great Mother to invoke the Divine Sense of the goddess within her.

Eren knew that the goddess had appeared on Anfang after possessing the giant stone statue that represented her. When the stone statue shrank, Eren guessed that she set apart a part of the faith energy she had accumulated in the statue to create the crystal.

Obtaining this crystal was a huge merit for the arch priestess of the Goddess Great Mother. Not only did it concentrate the form of the faith energy, but it also carried some of the Goddess' understanding regarding her own Divinity.

If she were to use the crystal herself, Simi would be able to invoke the goddess' Divine Sense within her, allowing her to be possessed by the goddess temporarily. Of course, such an instance was bound to make her progress leaps and bounds in her Path to Power.

Simi's status as a goddess' incarnation would be well established within the temple and the goddess' followers. She would be able to have premium access to various mana-rich resources when that happened. As such, she was as excited as Saith to make him use the crystal to contact the goddess.

Saith understood why Simi was so cooperative. It seemed that he had brought a big opportunity to the arch priestess of the grand temple by bringing her the crystal-like stone. Nonetheless, he didn't mind that Simi was getting profited from his encounter with the goddess in Anfang.

He guessed that perhaps the reason why the goddess had given him this crystal was so that he could establish a friendly connection with one of her archpriests in Labh Salem.
