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

761

"Ahead is the farthest base for Yuecheng's exploration."

This stronghold has entered the angel's field of vision, and Klein saw it through the sharing of spiritual links. In the distance, I saw several huge and flexible roofs stretched between several weathered walls and broken stone pillars. In the corner, tents were pitched against the walls. Several tents were connected together to form a roughly-sized tent. A small camp for about ten people.

It was now morning, a little short of lunch time, and the team seemed to have no intention of continuing to explore.

There are four people guarding the stronghold, two people are standing guard, and two people are making a fire with collected dead branches and weeds. The water in the pot that has just been set up has not yet heated up. There was also a small cloth bag beside them, as if they were preparing to cook when the hunting team came back.

The huge monster's body parts were placed in the corner of the camp, covered with cloth that was probably used to waterproof, prevent corrosion and prevent the odor from escaping.

Klein saw the woman who was preparing to cook stand up, use her deformed left arm to pull out the knife hanging from her waist, and slowly cut off a piece of edible meat from the monster with weird tumors and muscle structure. , blood slowly flowed out of the wound like thick black-red oil. Klein frowned, as if he could imagine the pungent stench, but there was nothing strange about Moon City's team.

Immediately afterwards, the woman with a slightly deformed body took out a dried mushroom from the cloth pocket on her waist.

Klein's expression became unnatural for a moment.

The female Extraordinary inserted what appeared to be a dried mushroom into the piece of black monster flesh in her hand.

In the blink of an eye, the shriveled white mushroom gradually filled up at a speed visible to the naked eye. Thin black threads continued to climb up the canopy along the roots of the mushroom, gradually dyeing the layers of mycelium and caps into strange colors. Deep black.

At the same time, the monster's flesh seemed to have less black color.

"That seems to be..." Seeing this, Hermes finally found the source of the familiarity and looked at Klein and Medici beside him. "The mushroom that has had its growth rules and logic changed. This is the mushroom named Frank Lee. It’s the work of a young man, right?”

The corners of Klein's mouth twitched and he nodded: "That's right."

Hermes smiled when he heard this, and even adjusted his expression and collar to show respect for Frank's work:

"Frank is a young man with great ideas. His improved wheat seeds have a very high yield. Although it can only last for three generations, the yield increase of about 40% has been unmatched. Together with his plant-based pork, it is now also growing due to Tees shines with positivity. Our people are just coming to terms with the existence of the extraordinary world this year, and these wonderful, fancy mushrooms are having a hard time accepting it, but both are fine."

After saying that, he looked at Klein, then at Medici, and asked in a curious tone:

"Speaking of which, I have always had a question. Frank is a sailor who belongs to the 'Star Pirates Group', and the leader of this pirate group is a member of the church of the Hidden Sage, the God of Knowledge and Mysteries..."

"I have gotten along with him privately because of some cooperation projects between churches. He is a simple and enthusiastic child who will pay ten or even a hundred times the kindness and affirmation of others. However, he said that he is not a fool ' is not a favored person of the Creator, nor a believer of the God of Mysteries. He insists that he is just his mother's child. He believes in the preciousness of life and the joy of harvest, so he helps others... How did such a special person become the fool? 'Selected by the Beloved and responsible for providing material support to the Eastern Continent?"

Well, because Gehrman Sparrow, the favored one of "The Fool", praised Frank before realizing his shocking thoughts, so he successfully established trust and friendship with Frank during the rest of the journey... …

Klein originally wanted to take a sneak peek at Medici to see if the other person was gloating about waiting for him to tell his lie or pretending not to hear, and then he would decide whether to tell the truth based on Medici's expression and attitude, but when he thought about it again, he was standing next to him. The one he is wearing is an angel from the "audience" path. Although he is only missing one sequence, his "little expressions" and "micro-movements" are, in the eyes of Hermes, the same as using a spotlight and a loudspeaker to express his inner voice. Shout out... Klein cleared his throat and smiled at Hermes:

"This is because of Mr. Frank's beliefs."

"He, uh, his beliefs are firm, which makes his thoughts and behaviors a bit unique compared to others..." Klein wanted to say something sensational, but he thought about it and thought about it again, and decided to See Frank in a completely inclusive and approving light.

After all, if this great inventor had not provided "The Fool" with such safe, hygienic and multifunctional mushrooms, how could the "Fool", who had no money and no power, boast of saving Haikou of Silver City?

Buy food?

It's impossible, because the Eastern Continent cannot grow food or breed meat, and the people living there are still half-giants with an average height of about two meters. You can tell with your toes that this is definitely a huge expense, so Klein can only choose to prioritize ensuring that he has enough food and clothing.

If we had chosen material assistance, we would have bought out the rich a long time ago.

After all, Mr. Dwayne Dantès does not have any big business or wealth in the Southern Continent. It is lucky that his assets can maintain the operation of his mansion and manor, plus some necessary charity and social expenditures. Don't say Some funding was given to survivors in distant continents.

That's why Frank's appearance and help are particularly important. It can even be said that it played a decisive role in the conversion process of Silver City and Moon City. He helped the "Fool" even more than the real Creator.

Because people in the Eastern Continent are more practical, illusory beliefs and promises can only be regarded as spiritual sustenance, while tangible food is the real salvation. Therefore, after making the promise, the redemption of "The Fool" came at just the right time. Only then did the people in these two cities see hope, the future and the light, and felt that they could trust "The Fool" and did not feel that this was the second son of the Creator. Abandoned.

Without Frank's mushrooms, even if the True Creator requires believers to convert, the probability of believers converting will be very low.

Klein felt that he had to thank Frank.

Once he changed his mind and looked at Frank from the perspective of a "friend" or even a "good brother", Klein understood more and more the people of the Eastern Continent's pursuit and recognition of Frank, and felt that it was not impossible to make him an angel of abundance... Check it out!

"...Anyway, that's it."

Klein's expression changed a few times, but he still praised Frank as objectively as possible: "He has great ideas and truly implements his will to praise life and harvest, but some of his ideas are also a bit... difficult to understand." accepted by the public.”

Let Frank continue to advance... Although it won't end the world, there will definitely be something disturbing.

"Yes." Hermes nodded with deep understanding, "He needs more restrictions and more standardized testing rules."

But Frank is truly creative, and it would be a pity if his development was restricted just because of some "unsafe" ideas.

Just when Hermes and Klein entered a tacit silence, Medici seemed to finally realize who the creator of the mushrooms they were discussing was. He looked at the mushrooms and asked with some surprise:

"This guy also has mushrooms? How many other products are there that I don't know about?"

And mushrooms? What does this mean? How much did Frank supply to the Aurora Society? No, no, no, besides these multifunctional mushrooms and pork that can grow from plants, what else did he invent?

Klein was startled and suddenly felt uneasy. The admiration and recognition he had just gained for Frank were once again severely suppressed.

However, Medici did not stay on this topic for much longer. When they were discussing Frank, the color of the pure black meat in the hands of the female guard of Moon City had become much lighter, as if the deep-rooted toxins in the meat had been absorbed by that Mushrooms removed. Then, the woman carefully took out some mushroom powder with warm purifying power from another pocket, sprinkled it into the boiling water, and finally broke the meat into small pieces and put it in it.

Klein silently glanced at the mushroom powder that clearly had the purifying power of the "sun" pathway.

"They are preparing lunch. It is inevitable for people to relax a little while eating. In order to prevent any accidents, I will go to their dreams to check the situation and ask for some information."

Hermes then looked at Medici: "Your Highness the Red Angel, please pay attention to my situation at all times. Once I put on the monocle..."

Medici nodded, his expression a little more serious than before:

"From the time we set foot on the Eastern Continent, we have already entered the attention of the big snake. Good luck favors you and me, so please proceed with caution."

Klein's heart suddenly lifted again, and he silently prayed for Hermes.

About ten minutes later, a small team slowly approached this stronghold in the distance. The people who came were all wearing clothes made of animal skins. They must be people who went out from this stronghold. The bodies of these people also have deformities and mutations of varying severity, but they still remain within the scope of human beings. Carrying some monster meat and dried plants either in their hands or on their shoulders, they quickly entered the stronghold.

After being busy for a while, they started to eat and change shifts. The people who stayed just now went to stand guard outside the stronghold.

Hermes nodded towards Klein and Medici. The pupils in his eyes quietly narrowed and stood up as he looked at a person in the distant stronghold.

The man with a thin body and a waist that was too slender, like a funnel, looked confused for a moment, and then yawned, as if he naturally dozed off under the noon sun after eating and drinking.

Hermes easily entered his dream ocean and saw a sun-shrouded land and a city-state that was gradually becoming prosperous.

…

Derrick finished his daily prayers and sat down in the first row of the chapel, letting his spirit and mood gradually calm down.

Today's Silver City is still the same as before. People hunt, patrol, live normally, receive rations of mushrooms and meat, pray, train, rest... Nothing has changed at all. Derrick feels that nothing has changed at all. He likes such a peaceful life with a little surprise and happiness. At the same time, he also hopes that everyone's life will be better and better.

"If only mom and dad were still alive...if only they weren't hurt that day..."

He breathed out gently and closed his eyes, the regret rushing in his heart surfaced again.

No one bothered him, and the church was always quiet except for the sounds of everyone breathing and whispering prayers.

Derrick stayed for a while and then walked out quietly. It was already noon, and he was going to the training ground to watch his friends practice, and also to the place where he would receive food. He wanted to eat fish-flavored mushrooms today. A few big mushrooms, a few big apples, some meat that has been cleaned of toxins, half a black-faced grass bread and some crispy doom berries are the most common sumptuous meal in Silver City today.

He greeted familiar people all the way to the training ground at a discount. As soon as he arrived, he saw that the friends who had come with him had finished their morning training and were walking shoulder to shoulder in the direction of the food distribution area. When Derrick came over, they nodded in a friendly manner.

"Good afternoon, our envoy."

The warrior, who was half a head taller than Derrick, smiled and lightly punched his shoulder: "What are you going to do later?"

Derrick was hit lightly but not too hard, and he slapped him back with a smile:

"I might have to go out to explore again in a while. I'll come to the training ground for a walk first, then go back to have something to eat, and then I'll train in the afternoon!"

The friend suddenly laughed heartily, and walked away arm in arm while laughing:

"Okay! Then we'll wait for you!"

Derrick waved at their backs and continued walking around the training ground. Suddenly, he felt a gaze staring at him in the crowd. He immediately looked towards where the gaze came from, and saw Silver Uno, with gray hair and blue eyes, stood outside the crowd.

This child, who was only one year old but already over one meter tall and looked to be seven or eight years old, was looking at him quietly.

Uno always stayed by his parents' side obediently, so much so that Silver City couldn't tell whether this child was an "Angel of Destiny" or a real child, but there was no doubt that this child had the power and authority of the Angel of Destiny. , and can also use blessings.

Therefore, most of the time, people regard him as a high-ranking person - but after all, he is also a child that the whole city has watched grow up. In addition, he is always silent, so it is difficult for people to completely regard him as mysterious." Angel of Destiny".

"..."

Derrick didn't think of what to call him for a moment, but he still bowed to him out of habit.

But what makes him strange is that Uno just looks at him like this, as if he has something to say, but also as if he is just in a daze, just looking at him or a certain point behind him with empty eyes.

Derrick was completely confused. He turned around tentatively and took a few steps. When he saw that Uno was still standing there, without even changing his expression or face, he was convinced that he was just standing in front of Uno. Where No was looking, Uno was not looking at him.

He left quickly, but he didn't realize that his feet had made a bend at some point, changed direction, and walked towards the round tower.

Uno still stood firmly in place, his eyes slightly closed, as if he was in a daze, or looking at something.

In the eyes of the "Angel of Destiny", the fate of at least one-third of the people in the entire Silver City has been closely connected with a certain great being who is high above the spiritual world, while the other two-thirds of the people know nothing about it. , still living a peaceful and happy daily life.

And Urolius watched all this calmly, thinking about whether to save or not to save.

Of course, there is a price to pay for saving them. Everything about fate must be exchanged at an equal price, and the price is undoubtedly to make Shi Angel unhappy.

"If they hadn't still believed in my father, Silver City would be a ruin now. That's what I originally thought, but now it seems that they have also abandoned my father. Human beings are always so good at betrayal." - Him Said so.

"The same goes for you, Ourolius, you and Medici, and Leodro... you too will not be let go by me, but not yet." - He also said the same.

After all, these are no longer the Lord’s people, but an anchor entrusted to the “fools” by the Lord.

After a moment, he looked up into the distance and vaguely saw a flame burning in the distance, near another city with many survivors.

There, some people have also fallen into Amon's hands.
