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

767

It was already dark.

After perfunctory with God and seeing that it was getting late, Edward packed up the things at hand and planned to take a stroll back.

Now there is nothing to do all day long. The gods are busy with their own affairs, each guarding their own territory. The Demon of Knowledge has safely absorbed some of the escaped believers of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom, and improved Trier. Basic education in China has increased the length of compulsory education to ten years. I heard that he wants to raise it even higher, but unfortunately in this era there are too few people who can afford to go to school and have time to go to school.

So the Demon of Knowledge began to promote night schools, encouraging adults to work during the day and spend a few hours at night learning arithmetic and grammar.

Considering the current situation in Intis where anyone with a hand can find a job, night classes have been widely welcomed by workers.

At the same time, the Demon of Knowledge also followed the examination system of the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom, and recruited many exiled believers to serve as teaching directors and paper graders, increasing the efficiency of examinations and paper corrections several times, making the church The dark circles under the members' eyes became darker and darker.

The nations of the southern continent are struggling to recuperate, and while the Highlands are doing fine except for extreme poverty, Byron is troubled by soaring mortality rates.

The policies that the God of Death didn't think about before are now going in some bad directions, but this actually doesn't have much impact on the God of Death. After all, both the living and the dead are his anchors - he is the only one who will worry about this. His beloved son Azik Eggers.

Luen's situation has basically stabilized, and the shortcomings of binding relief to faith will not be reflected for a while. Unlike Intis, whose people's lives are getting better and better, the Fusac Empire is now in a state of tension. They have not benefited much from the previous wars, and now they have to be wary of whether the God of Thunder will send troops to retaliate against their previous wars. attack, domestic conflicts have intensified.

But what does the turmoil of the earth's gods have to do with Edward?

The highlands were considered his own territory for the time being, and the angels and demigods above had learned to ignore him. Edward only fished every day. The life of a jobless god was so simple and boring.

At this moment, another voice suddenly came from his mind.

His half, who was doing something unknown in the land abandoned by the gods, took the initiative to contact him and said that he had discovered something big.

"What's the big deal?" Edward himself had been to the Land Abandoned by God and even lived there for a long time. Edward felt that he had no curiosity at all, but he still asked out of respect for himself.

"I saw the mysterious servant that I have been missing in the land abandoned by the gods."

Half body's tone fluctuated slightly, and he sounded high-spirited: "What's even more interesting is that the state of this 'Secret Attendant' is very interesting... He seems to be in a state where the ritual can be completed at any time, but he has not been successfully promoted. This Let me have a guess."

The first sequence of "Soothsayer" is "Secret Attendant". This sequence is difficult to perform. You can't praise the Heavenly Lord in your heart every day, or burn incense and make offerings to the Heavenly Lord, right? Combined with the title "Lord of Mysteries" at the top of the sequence, there is a strange feeling of turning over and becoming the master.

Edward felt that his patience had also improved: "You say."

"What is the biggest difference between the Land Abandoned by God and the outside world? Now that there is sunshine here, the only difference is the 'spiritual world'."

"Mystery is also the master of the spirit world. The high-sequence promotion rituals of the three paths are indispensable for interaction with the spirit world. I remember that the 'door' path has to walk in the spirit world very early and leave its own coordinates. The fortune teller's High-sequence rituals also require the spirit world, is this reasonable?"

Edward was about to yawn, but in order to express his respect and attention to himself, he asked:

"You mean, His special status is because the part of the ritual requirements related to the spiritual world has not been fulfilled yet. As long as He comes to the outside world, he can be promoted to the 'Attendant of Mystery' immediately? Then why doesn't He come out earlier? Are you worried about being targeted by Amon?”

"I don't know that."

Half body was very interested and said as he walked: "Earlier, Amon's body was in the place abandoned by the gods. Wouldn't it be more dangerous for him to stay here? I will catch up and ask."

Edward heard something strange. Not to mention that he only called the communication on the fourth day after entering the God-Forsaken Land. It was also strange that he planned to rush up to ask about the situation when he saw a "Secret Waiter" who was about to be promoted. He couldn't help but ask. road:

"What's Klein doing these days?"

There was sudden silence on the other side.

Then the information channel was unilaterally closed, and no information was transmitted for five seconds. Edward was silent for a moment, then covered his face with one hand and sighed heavily through gritted teeth.

…

"Miss Hall family wants to purchase some food in large quantities?"

The rotating dice in the cup stopped. Sitting around the gambling table, a "devil" with flaxen hair and a good appearance raised his head and looked around excitedly: "We don't have a lot of backlog... …”

"Those things - those things were originally intended to be sold to Roen at a low price as military rations."

Another demon looked at the cards in his hand slowly, and while the companion on the opposite side was not paying attention, he secretly played a thousand, and said calmly: "The master of the house originally targeted the war period and prepared to take action on the food on the front line, but As a result, Fusac's gang of cowards were afraid of the God of Thunder and retreated after fighting for only a few months. As a result, we almost lost all our food in our hands and had no chance to sell it."

"I remember that those dry rations made according to military standards were added with..."

The purple-eyed devil lady who was betting against him quickly made a silent gesture:

"Shh... don't say it. It won't cause death quickly anyway. The virus also needs time to accumulate and attack. If we follow our plan and put it into use on the front line normally, at least 100,000 people will be infected and directly turn into walking zombies with dementia. ."

"What's so annoying is that I've hit my head on my hands. Only a dozen people were infected, and I lost hundreds of thousands. But the head of the family is very angry."

The flaxen-haired North family member nodded and asked in a low voice:

"Then should you consider selling these foods to Miss Hall?"

"The young lady of the Hall family also drank the potion, and she is probably of low-to-middle rank. I talked to that little maid who likes to gossip when I was sleeping a few days ago. She swore to me that there was a maid who went crazy and wanted to attack her. Miss Hall, Miss Hall's eyes suddenly turned golden, frightening the crazy maid to the ground. She was also frightened half to death, but luckily the lady didn't notice."

"Golden eyes..."

The devil lady of the North family frowned and thought of something:

"Audience? Miss Hall is also a hidden stake in the Psychological Alchemy Society? Hmm... It makes sense given her status. The Psychological Alchemy Society has many informants at the upper and middle levels. If a noble lady wants to be promoted safely and quickly, contact Psychological Alchemy is the best choice.”

"Psychological Alchemy Meeting?"

It seems that there are angels in the Psychological Alchemy Society, and there is also one of their high-level saints in Backlund. The head of the family has not yet been promoted. I heard from my grandfather that he originally planned to indirectly and directly cause the death of more than a thousand people in the war, and then be promoted along the way. Yes, the result... Ms. Devil racked her brains to recall some of the information that the family had circulated privately, and felt that this business was a bit uncertain.

Moreover, the Demon Family is developing a bit fast this year, and if you are not careful, it will attract the attention of the Loen Tax Bureau and MI9.

Now we still need to worry about the God of Thunder. Maybe this grumpy God of Thunder will chop all the filthy demons like himself into ashes if he is unhappy... Therefore, the North family is working hard to provide support to all levels of the Church of Thunder and Truth. He sent bribes, shrunk his power, actively donated some shares, and tried to find a daughter of a noble who believed in the God of Thunder to marry to show his goodwill.

"I'm afraid we can't control these things."

Ms. Demon shrugged, not wanting to get involved in the struggle between different extraordinary organizations: "We are just looking at the warehouse."

Fortunately, the managers on the surface of the factory are all normal human beings who know nothing about the extraordinary. These humans are promoted from among the workers and are grateful to the leaders for their insight. However, once something goes wrong in the factory or needs to be rectified, They will be pushed out as scapegoats.

Demons who have just been promoted to Sequence 6 will obviously not know much about the information of these organizations, but they still know a lot of basic information circulating in the extraordinary world. He reached out to touch the cup with the dice and asked in a low voice:

"The Psychological Alchemy Society seems to be an old organization, right? Then...is this idea of ​​buying food the idea of ​​Miss Hall, or is the Psychological Alchemy Society preparing to continue to buy people's hearts? It seems that we can't find a way to sell the backlog of goods. Dumped?"

The devil lady scolded her companion in her heart for being so stupid:

"That batch of food was never ours to decide."

"But to say the least, it would be better to sell them to His Majesty the Temperance Angel... The Temperance Angel can definitely make the food harmless, but I'm afraid that if he sees a problem, he will use it to beat us."

Finally, she made up her mind: "Please report this information to me. It is not up to us to decide what happens next."

"If it's a trick of the Psychological Alchemist Society to attract people's hearts, then we should respond properly. If this innocent and lovely noble lady wants to buy food alone, then dump the leftovers of cakes and breads that are about to spoil in the warehouse."

As she said that, she grabbed the cup first and opened it. She saw a 3 and a 4 facing up, and the points were higher than the previous numbers.

A smile appeared on Ms. Devil’s face:

"I won, so be it. I don't want any money, so I have to find me a young girl from your factory who has been a street girl."

The flaxen-haired young man who was worried about his fellow lion's open mouth was relieved when he heard this and nodded with a smile.

Now the Devil family doesn't have much else, it only has money, wealth shares and workers. Many of the workers were recruited from the East District. They had no identity documents, and their families also worked in the factory. "Accident casualties" were easily suffered. If you don't want to lose money, you can also let the whole family be injured or killed in a machine accident, or you can just find a hidden corner to clean up - other workers also have to work fifteen hours a day and will not care about the flow of people. In a large factory like theirs that requires operating machinery, it's not surprising to see new faces every day.

"I'll find a good candidate for you within this week." He said in a brisk tone.

…

"Since you said it, the gray fog that seals the Western Continent is almost the same as the gray fog flowing on Source Castle."

Hermes speculated based on the information provided by Klein: "Then, can this seal be regarded as a part of the Source Castle, as a part of the master of the spiritual world? We can try to pray to the gray mist, or even sacrifice... However, I don’t know whether it will allow the person on the Origin Castle to receive prayers, or whether it will allow the person on the opposite side of the seal to feel the change.”

"The greater possibility is that this seal has been separated from Origin Castle for tens of thousands of years, and there has been no contact for a long time." Klein said.

"Yes."

Hermes nodded and looked at Medici: "I still have a small detail to add about what War Angel just told you."

"What is it?"

"It's not just the Lord of Mysteries who can open this seal, but it can be an existence at the same level as the Lord of Mysteries, such as God, or even... someone in the starry sky," Hermes said. , "So, the Lord of Mysteries is not necessary."

"I see." Klein nodded.

Afterwards, he was going to try to interact with this seal that was almost exactly the same as the gray fog on Origin Castle. The "Cane of Life" has long been returned to the fog of history, and the cross Medici was carrying was not suitable for the current situation. So Klein reached out and took out a palm-sized small book in the fog of history, "Lenormand's Travel Notes".

Judging from the name and function of this notebook, Klein felt that it should be a legacy of a "recording officer", but this was not confirmed.

The notebook still retained the ability to record when Klein obtained it. He flipped through it and quickly found the place where "open the door" was recorded.

For an "ancient scholar", this is the best way to use sealed objects that will not be carried around for a long time. However, the time limit is limited, currently it cannot exceed three minutes, and the effect is somewhat different from the original version.

Of course, if there is a prepared battle, Klein will not do this, because it will occupy one of his precious three summoning slots, which is extremely uneconomical. Moreover, the level of a sealed object that is too high in sequence is quite high. Klein cannot successfully summon it in one go. He often has to summon it three to six times. In a fierce battle, this requires enough opportunities and is not that easy.

Clutching the "Opening the Door" page with a special texture, Klein naturally imagined a scene of an illusory door slowly opening in his mind.

He chanted in a low voice in the ancient giant language, and soon, an unreal door was quickly outlined on the surface of the gray mist.

The door opened silently, and there was still gray fog behind it.

"Opening the door" didn't work... Klein wasn't surprised by this result, but he was still a little disappointed.

He thought for a while and prepared to change his approach.

However, just as he was thinking about it, this illusory door suddenly started to fluctuate.

When Klein was thinking about a solution just now, a picture naturally came to mind:

The sea of ​​clouds between the two peaks "boiled" rapidly, parting to the left and right, revealing a dark gap with no bottom visible. The orange-red dusk light filled it, forming a substantial road.

This is the scene created by Ouroleus when he led them from his own dream into the dream projection of the "Giant King's Court".

And just when Klein felt that he didn't know enough about the corresponding abilities and was about to change his method, the "door" suddenly started to fluctuate again, and then the solidified gray-white mist also "boiled", but not so violently.

They rolled backwards and separated to both sides, but the front was still endless gray with no end at all.

Klein sighed inwardly, paying attention to controlling his thoughts while making other attempts.

In three minutes, he made at least ten attempts, seven of which were voluntary, and three of which were prompted, but none of them could open the invisible barrier.

"It seems that it's not possible now." Hermes comforted Klein, "It doesn't matter. There will be many opportunities in the future. Maybe there are relevant records in the Moon City... By the way, it's been so long, that person on the Origin Castle They haven’t even looked at it yet, which shows that He doesn’t pay attention to this place.”

Klein nodded, not feeling too disappointed, but feeling helpless that he was missing the point. Just when he turned around and was about to continue heading to Moon City, he saw a little firelight in the dark depths in the distance, rapidly approaching from far away.

The leader was an old man wearing a dark brown animal skin. His hair was gray and messy, and his face was full of real ravines.

"High Priest..." After seeing the other party's appearance clearly, an indescribable emotion suddenly rose in Klein's heart.

The person who came was none other than Nim, the high priest of Moon City.

When he was still "The Fool", he had looked down at each other countless times, but only now, they had their feet on the ground and were at the same height.

Nim walked in front, looking at Klein Moretti and Medici beside him, crossed his hands and saluted:

"Distinguished guest, I am Nim, the high priest of Moon City."

"Moon City was once a city belonging to vampires, but that civilization was destroyed in ancient times.

"After that, we accepted the order of the great Sun God, the Lord who created everything, and moved here to guard this gray mist and make corresponding attempts. Even if this land was later cursed and the Lord no longer responded to us, he never gave up. .

"To this day, three thousand seven hundred and twenty-two years have passed."

I had a low-grade fever for a day and thought it was going away, but the temperature suddenly reached 38 degrees Celsius. I was so frightened that I quickly went out and drank water.
