Secret: Those years when I was a foreign aid for the Aurora Club

645

“Thank you Lord for giving us food.”

“Thank you Lord for giving us water to drink.”

There was a bamboo basket placed on the spread tablecloth, as well as simple slices of white bread and jam. Several mid- to low-sequence Beyonders with silver crosses hanging on their chests found a clean and uncontaminated piece of bread in the nearby city. Place, have lunch like a picnic.

Apart from the dim sky, the surroundings are filled with polluted and distorted land, non-stop murmurs in the ears, and suspicious dark traces everywhere, including the complicated and tired expressions of the diners. This can indeed be regarded as a picnic.

Because there is not a single living person in the nearest town, it has been abandoned for nearly half a month, and there is not even a clean dining table to be found.

In the distance is a black world, black earth, dark sky, blood-red water coming from the sea, and countless demon descendants lurking in the dark, mutated from wild animals and sea creatures.

In order to prevent more water sources from being polluted, the red river has been blocked and gathered into a terrifying blood lake at the end. Anyone who comes close will have the urge to jump into it. It has devoured many lives, but the Church is currently powerless to do anything about it.

"How is the status of Sealed Artifact 1-087?" The person who looked like the captain asked while eating.

The member of the team responsible for keeping the sealed artifact immediately opened his arms, his face filled with joy: "Praise the Lord! Praise the sun!"

After saying that, the team member glanced at his companions with an incredibly fanatical look. The others put down the food in their hands and followed the requirements of the sealed object by praising the sun and the Lord several times perfunctorily. One of the team members said:

"It looks like the sealed object is in good condition."

"... Let someone else take it." The captain rubbed his brows in pain, "It just so happens that you have drawn this kind of sealed object that needs to be responded to every hour of use. It will also continue to affect the mental state of the Beyonders and the purification of our team. The progress has fallen a lot.”

The other team members nodded with deep understanding. In the past few days of participating in the task of purifying the land, with the help of this sealed artifact, everyone's piety has increased or decreased to varying degrees. They exchanged glances and suddenly became violent. They all started to hold down their companion who was eating a bite of bread before praying to the Lord. They snatched something like a small lamp while the other party was crying and howling. After the lamp was snatched away, the team member who was praying fervently suddenly calmed down. He sat upright, straightened his clothes, made the sign of the cross on himself, and then complained to the captain:

"I've been holding it for five hours, captain, give me overtime, the pants I wore yesterday were praising the sun!"

"I also took it for seven hours. You are the Sequence 6 'notary'. Before I recover, you are the most suitable person to hold 1-087."

"But captain, if we participate in this task, we can apply for allowances and subsidies!" The notary refused.

"Then we have to wait until we complete today's purification task before we can write the application."

The notary had no choice but to continue eating angrily. Halfway through the meal, the "Priest of Light" next to him chatted: "Let's purify these lands. I heard that the next step of the church is to arrange extraordinary people who are good at farming to develop the land. Recently, the food supply in the city has increased." The price is great.”

"Recently, the church has encouraged the families of priests to become low-sequence extraordinary people and contribute to the church. The most popular people in the church now are 'cultivators'. If they become 'cultivators' and actively participate in agricultural activities, the family can still I got a subsidy of about 2 gold louis." The Priest of Light said while stuffing pork sausages into slices of bread. "Before I came, I heard from the Aurora Order angel in the church that they were considering whether to invite someone. The instructor, whose name is Frank, is a wild 'cultivator' who does not belong to the Church of the Mother Earth."

"Frank? Never heard of it. There are only a few famous scholar-bishops in the Mother Earth Church."

The notary asked curiously: "Who is this? Is he very powerful?"

"It should be very powerful, right?" The Priest of Light was not sure and scratched his head, "It's just that the deacon of Montemar looked a little unhappy when he heard the name..."

The deacon of Montemar in his mouth is none other than the most popular deacon of the Cathedral of Light in Intis, Ms. Irene Albert Montemar. It is said that this lady was inspired by the Lord when she was ten years old. , had a premonition of the Lord’s future glory and great achievements, and became a divine envoy of the Aurora Society. Her faith is clear and flawless, her eyes are as bright as the sun, and she has a heart as pure and kind as an angel. She is willing to provide some help to the distant and barbaric Southern Continent people, build factories, and provide employment.

The Church of the Creator's attitude towards the nobles is currently somewhat ambiguous, but through Ms. Montemar's treatment and rhetoric, most of the nobles are temporarily relieved and believe that the Church of the Creator still needs them.

They increased their donations to the Church of the Creator and put a lot of gold and property into the donation box in order to save their own lives. Only then did the church's subsidies for low-income people and the construction of many church schools proceed smoothly.

It is worth mentioning that the Church of Steam, which has acquired the new technology, is proactively shining in the construction industry. It only requires a team of extraordinary people led by demigods to complete the furniture and gas pipes of a building in one day. The complete three-story building is built like building blocks.

After finishing lunch, a group of people packed up their tablecloths and bamboo baskets and stood up. They approached the outskirts of the town - the erosion was too strong, and after several days, they still hadn't completely purified the town. One of the light priests held up the lamp-like object.

“The Lord said, let there be light, and use light to drive out the devil from the earth!”

Along with his shouts, bursts of bright light emitted from the lamp in his hand. At its peak, the light was like a small sun. Black smoke emitted from the surrounding land, and the murmurs and malice that made people almost crazy were suppressed. The light was blocked, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

After a round of purification, the black on the ground became slightly lighter.

But ahead of them, there are entire plains, and even distant coasts and oceans that need to be purified, and the purification work is almost annual.

At the same time, a smile appeared on the face of the Priest of Light, and he raised his arms and pointed to the sky: "Praise the Lord!"

"You do the purification ten more times and then hand it over to me." The captain of Sequence 5 said, "Continue..."

Suddenly, the lamp in the hand of the priest of light went out, the sky was filled with wind and clouds, and the gloomy clouds suddenly dispersed. In an instant, there were no clouds in the sky, and the golden sunlight that seemed to be substantial fell from the sky, and a warm and holy atmosphere enveloped the entire place. Mountains and fields.

At the moment when the breath fell, the extraordinary people in the sun pathway invariably trembled slightly with excitement. They were bathed in the light, feeling the vitality of their own spirituality and the mighty power of the great existence, acquiring knowledge, and forgetting for a moment. kneel.

The light fell on the polluted mountains, forests and fields. The black soil and red water gradually faded away from their filthy appearance. Countless dependent creatures hidden in the shadows howled miserably and turned into blue smoke and dissipated in the sunlight. Down. The earth gradually returned to its normal brown color, and even gradually glowed with life under the light. The water slowly became clear, but there was no living thing in it. There was only clear water and sand and gravel at the bottom of the river.

It was as if God's gaze was shining down, and the world in front of him took on a new look.

God's gaze continued to move forward. On the polluted beach and coastline, countless ferocious and twisted low-level demonic creatures were wandering like sandcastles in the waves, disintegrating without a word. There were countless creatures in the blood-red sea water. The monsters were following the waves ashore, but as soon as the pure light swept away, they were all broken down into the most basic spirituality. Even the rushing seawater gradually lost its blood color and slapped on the beach.

The purification task that was originally expected to take at least five years as a cycle was completed within a few breaths.

Countless extraordinary people who were carrying sealed objects or led by the demigod priest personally saw the miracle coming. They felt the breath of the gods intoxicatedly, witnessed the power of the gods to change the world, and then devoutly Kneel down and praise the name of the Creator.

The haze dissipates, the sun shines high, and the earth is filled with golden light. In the fields, rivers and mountain peaks, the first passing bird breaks the silence.

…

"I arranged everything before I left."

While Edward was following the true Creator for a walk in his kingdom of God, he was looking through the files that he had handed over from the desk in the office before leaving, and commented with great interest:

"You plan to engage in solar energy? The prerequisite for solar energy is to get some electric energy first. For electric energy, you need to cooperate with the Church of Steam, but how do you teach them to use it? Do you want to send instructions to the subconscious ocean group? It seems that the demand for food is the highest now, no In terms of supporting facilities, the only use of your solar energy is probably to provide hot water to the people of Intis."

"This is the first time that the Steam Church has come into contact with the concept of electricity. It is still a bit constrained. I don't think it can be expected to produce anything from its research."

"It's normal. After all, they have been preaching in Loen for so long."

Edward flipped back and found the report about the nobility, as well as the information about the nobility handed over by a divine messenger named Ms. D. His expression became lively again: "Your attitude towards the nobility is very interesting. Please take the lead in converting it." Family favors and rewards, and then put pressure on others, do you want them to try their best to please you and your church, and slowly strip them of their money and status?"

"It would do me no good to rush into taking over their property."

The True Creator said calmly: "If I give strong medicine to this group of people who control most of the country's wealth, it is very likely that I will secretly betray the country during my time away from Intis. For the sake of the country's stability and stable income, It’s better to be gentle now.”

"Montemaire, Lefère, Berner... they are all the surnames of acquaintances."

Edward finished flipping through the file and placed it in a corner of the Kingdom of the Real Creator: "These big noble families don't seem to have changed much, but only the Sauron family has completely fallen? How pitiful."

He looked at the back of the True Creator's head and asked casually: "By the way, you already know about the Highland Kingdom, right?"

The True Creator did not speak immediately, but responded with silence:

"The Highland Resistance Army sent back all the sealed artifacts of the local Sun Path and the characteristics of the church members stationed there."

"I was thinking that if the Highlands became independent, Intis' domestic economy would be severely hit again, so I tried my best to arrange all the affairs before leaving."

Probably because there is so much uncertainty and danger ahead, the True Creator said a little more. He looked at the purified earth under his feet. He did not respond to the fervent prayers of the believers. Instead, he crossed the northern continent and the ocean directly through the Kingdom of God and headed towards the sea.

"...Although there are still very few 'cultivators', as long as they are properly utilized, Intis can survive the famine caused by the economic crisis. For the rest, it is up to the church to regulate the market and actively help the people."

"This is a good opportunity for the God of Steam and Machinery." Edward glanced back, although he couldn't see Intis.

"That's right." The True Creator looked into the distance, "I hope He can seize this opportunity."

Edward smiled: "Maybe what happens next is what you expected."

"Do you see anything possible?"

"If you are seeking my advice, then..." Edward Demon whispered, "I suggest you turn back immediately and kill the Storm Lord. This can avoid some troubles that I think are very entertaining. Of course, you It will also be closer to the original.”

While talking, they happened to pass over the sea, looking at the beautiful blue under their feet, the dotted islands and the pirates and sailors active on the sea. War brings chaos, and chaos is the norm on the sea. It is an opportunity and a disaster. The pirates were having a great time, and countless people rushed towards the ocean of dreams, making it even more lively than before.

The True Creator was silent for a second and shook his head.

"Leodro is not a person who waits to die, but, with the original being in front, I no longer care about how he struggles." The true creator stepped forward, crossing the sea and the island, and said in a calm tone, "If He Do you really have any thoughts... Considering that He has been protecting mankind for thousands of years as a righteous god, I am willing to give Him some dignity."

"I like your attitude."

Edward no longer tried to persuade him, and he followed the true Creator across the sea and walked into the sea of ​​ruins of the God War where countless divine powers remained. The various forces that isolated the Eastern Continent from the outside world have begun to weaken. Through the darkness and the tide, the fertile tide and the waves of knowledge seemed to penetrate an invisible barrier. They left the Kingdom of God and left. The star realm fell into a brand new land.

At first glance, it seems that there is not much difference between this place and the outside world, just a barren wilderness.

The wilderness is bare and consists of gravel with no grass growing on it. The land is a strange black color, with dirty water scattered everywhere. Such a wasteland with nothing feels very strange to people. There are no plants, no animals, and not even monsters can be seen.

However, the sun in the sky is still shining here - probably because there are spiritual things everywhere in this land, and because the sun is here now, the Eastern Continent is spiritually active and even warmer than outside.

The True Creator looked at the mountain peaks in the distance. Everything was invisible under the sun. There was nothing on the mountain peaks, but there was a strange darkness. Only a strange huge inverted cross remained there, as high as the mountain, and low murmurs sounded like rolling thunder in the darkness, even the sunlight did not illuminate it.

That is His remains...or the remnants of his former body.

When his rational avatar ascended to the throne of God in the outside world, all the extraordinary characteristics of the body left in the Eastern Continent were naturally transferred to him, and this body lost its consciousness and extraordinary characteristics and became a relic. slough.

Originally, the existence of the True Creator was quite dangerous to the survivors of the Eastern Continent. The Hanged Man became a god here, and this land was the place where he was born, his kingdom of God. Where can living people live in the kingdom of God, which is filled with the crazy ravings and crazy spirits of gods? As a madman, He could only watch them die gradually and had no choice. After He left, the environment of the Eastern Continent finally became a little more livable than before.

But - He can feel it.

Among the sins He carried, the souls of the people of the Eastern Continent who died because of Him are crying.

Weeping that one's relatives died unexpectedly, weeping that one's descendants have to survive in such a harsh environment, weeping that everything in the past was destroyed, and weeping that it was his own master who destroyed it all himself.

"I like this place."

This place is full of despair and has been deserted for thousands of years. Hope has been swallowed up by time, and we should have been waiting for the end in endless despair...

I like the lifeless and hopeless world here, and to show my respect, I should fully enjoy the joy of this decline to the extreme, and then destroy it.

Different from the complex and heavy thoughts of the real Creator, the Outer God seemed to have arrived at a scenic spot that he had planned for a long time. He exuded a happy atmosphere, but he had a high emotional intelligence and did not speak out what was in his heart.

Edward stretched and walked a few steps nearby in a good mood. Then he knelt down and searched purposefully among the gravel and earth and rocks, and found a strange-looking object.

"Amulet made from the teeth of some monster."

Edward said in a tone of voice that he found an interesting souvenir: "Let me take a look, it is a mutated feline extraordinary creature, polished with the second tooth on the front... The maker died in the battle at eight hundred and thirty Years ago, the purpose of making it was to give it to his son... This item was passed down for five generations. The last holder left because he was old and did not want to be a burden to others, walked here alone, and then starved to death. Well, he was very lucky. He didn't encounter extraordinary creatures before his death, and he was eaten after his death. He died 612 years ago."

He took out a handkerchief, wiped the strange pendant, then raised his head and asked with a smile:

"If you're not in a hurry, how about we go for a walk first?"

"According to his memory, if you go eastward for three days and nights, you can reach the town where he lives."

"Don't you want to go take a look?"
