"Yeah, this Nameless King wannabe is controlling a lot of people with this strange aura. Thank you to my good mental state" thought Zib to himself, as someone highly resistant to magic, specially against people trying against his magic. His 'Anxiety'* tells him that this statue is definitely not a good thing, so he leaves its investigation for later, trying for now to lay low and not call up a negative attention. "Give me a few minutes" said Zib slowly gets a tiny bit distant from his fellows to try something- he rings the bell for his Hidden Body sorcery, allied with changing his Sword Ring to his Obscuring ring and casting Spook sorcery, he got completely unnoticeable. After that he came close to one of the praising/mind-controlled fellows around the statue, used his Rapport pyromancy to make the creature not his servant, just 100% friendly towards him as he needed to ask for more details about all this religion thing happening here.
Due to his enhanced body, his capability of doing magic regenerated with time, and allied to that, Zib renewed his Hidden Body sorcery and Rapport pyromancy so this fey creature always looked like it was still preaching/talking to itself while answering "Would you mind telling me everything you know about this religion?"
