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

770

"It's such a nice day, Letty, what do you think?"

Seeing that Audrey still didn't seem to react, Richard waved his hand, causing a stack of papers placed on a shelf not far away to fly over automatically and fall neatly into his hands like cards in a magician's hand. before.

"It's a great time to do some good things in this nice weather."

"For example, emptying the magazines, decorating our streets, emptying families' properties for decoration, and using their money to build schools and factories for children."

Audrey's expression was slightly dull, as if she didn't react until now. The corpses still hanging on the protrusions of the wall outside made her feel inexplicably afraid - she was afraid of dead people, which was normal. She was a girl who was not yet 19 years old and had never really seen a dead person before. But the death scenes of the three people hanging on the wall were not terrifying, they could only be regarded as terrifying. Audrey wanted to take another look, but held back.

She couldn't tell what the sudden fear in her heart was.

But as a psychiatrist, she also guessed the reason.

"I really want to do the same in the Northern Continent."

Richard skilfully flipped through the files and documents in his hands, and skillfully stamped or crossed them. His face had a gentle and warm smile as always, reflecting on what he was doing, what he had done, and what he was about to do. A huge contrast. It was as if the two sides of the devil and the righteous were completely integrated into the same person's body. She had never thought that someone could be so kind and pure, and yet so cruel and crazy - just like that day, once again let O Delly is deeply aware of the degree of mental abnormality of those with high-sequence "prisoner" pathways.

The corpses...the corpses that appeared directly on the street were somewhat beyond Audrey's understanding.

And people who should theoretically be terrified or even silent were singing and laughing in a language she didn't understand.

In this incredible and fanatical atmosphere, Audrey felt a vague temperature that burned her back.

She tightened her grip on her apron and found her voice.

"……What?"

"Oh, of course, I'm not saying anything else here. If you lose, you lose. Our national strength and cohesion back then were indeed like rubbish. ... There seems to be a proverb in the Northern Continent, 'If you fall behind, you will be beaten.' But I I think this sentence is slightly biased.”

Richard sentenced the two families to death again, speaking heavy words, but the expression on his face was still light and smiling:

"This sentence is not the truth. It seems like the sorrow of the weak and the condescension of the strong. In essence, it shows the hostility between human beings. Suppose there is a child who is born weak and disabled. He just exists there. But he was bullied, beaten, and even killed in the end. Is it the child's fault? No matter how you think about it - the person who did it is morally corrupt."

Audrey blinked, regained some courage, and asked as calmly as possible:

"Your Highness Richard, then you asked me to come here and see all this to make me realize the mistakes of the war?"

"If this is the case, I already knew it. When I learned about the outbreak of war in the Amanda Mountains and when I personally experienced the horrific bombing, I already hated this matter."

Or do you want me to see the outcome of the nobles in the highlands, so as to give me a blow as a noble of the northern continent?

"neither."

Richard shook his head: "No one in this world likes war. Except for those extraordinary people who need war, all others who advocate war are brain cicadas... Actually, I don't know why I am telling you this. Maybe I just want to find someone to talk to." Just talking."

"Huh?" Audrey was a little surprised now.

"Hang them up makes me feel good. Audrey, let me tell you a little story."

"Before our god, the Bound God, was defeated by the Northern Continent, we also had an official church. The right to interpret beliefs and doctrines, as well as the qualifications to inherit extraordinary power, were all in the hands of the church, with relatively strict rules. The master-apprentice system is used to pass on the inheritance.”

Richard held up his chin with one hand, showing a very rare expression of reminiscence.

"I am a Highlander more than two hundred years ago, so of course my master is a member of the Church of the Bound God, as is my master's master. However, my master's qualifications are relatively mediocre, and he was recruited purely because of his family and bloodline. Disciple. His master was able to become the manager of the Museum of Ritual Artifacts and Theology, guarding an ancient cursed item, but he was still a Sequence 6 until his death. Haha, Audrey, a Sequence 6 in his forties, better than you It’s not even close.”

Audrey heard the Temperance Angel talk about her past for the first time.

As an angel who has lived for a long time, although he is relatively young among the angels at over 200 years old, when talking about his life, Richard still revealed some memories unique to an old man.

"My master's master... that old man is a demigod. He has a close personal relationship with my master's father, so he supports him. The old man never liked me when he was alive, because I am not a descendant of a noble. My ancestors are all commoners, and I am still a human being." The colonists were of mixed blood. But at that time, talents were withering, and my master was just a down-and-out little nobleman. His family fell into ruin during the war, and he was even almost drawn to join the army, but he had no choice."

"Seeing that I drank magic potion at the age of ten and became a Sequence 8 at the age of eleven, he reluctantly looked at me seriously and began to consider using his connections to link my identity to a mid-level nobleman and treat me as an illegitimate child. Then slowly climb up and sneak into a museum as an apprentice..."

"My master also breathed a sigh of relief and even asked me to be his godson. Then the old man scolded me, saying that all the glory of your family has been ruined by you and your brother. Don't come out and embarrass me again. My master was sad for several days."

Richard tried hard to think back for a while and found that he had almost forgotten the old man's face. He could only vaguely remember that the old man liked to wear white robes, traditional highland costumes. He never wore accessories and abided by the rules. His skin looked brighter against the white robes. Darker than others. And on the serious face with deep wrinkles in my memory, the light-colored eyes shone with sharp light, as if they wanted to see through other people's souls.

The face of the master, who was less than fifty years old when he died, was also very blurry. It was obvious that he was once a handsome middle-aged man.

At the end of the memory, the only clear thing left was the body that had been disemboweled, had its limbs broken, and had its internal organs removed. The other person's golden-brown hair and brown eyes were the color of coagulated blood.

Destroy the corpse, remove the internal organs, and expose the body to the wilderness.

In highland culture, people who die in this way cannot meet the gods and have an afterlife.

"...But during the war, there was not so much 'slowness'."

The Temperance Angel sighed.

Immediately afterwards, He licked his fingernails:

"My master was mediocre and timid. After resisting for two years, he fled to the Northern Continent. The old man is a demigod and a servant of God who has dedicated his life to God and asceticism. He wants to take his own glory and his identity as a priest with him. Protect those things until the end.”

"But facing the army of the Northern Continent, did they defend for a total of five days or ten days? Then the soldiers of the Northern Continent who invaded the temple and museum smashed our stone tablets and sculptures, and melted the handicrafts into gold and silver nuggets. Our ancient books and cultural relics were used to light the fire... After the old man died, he was hung by his legs in front of the temple door, and his dead head was placed directly below him. This is what Master told me."

The Angel of Temperance narrates part of his life.

He must have a good eloquence, otherwise he would not be able to attract support based on his ability. In front of the pathways related to emotions and desires, even a psychiatrist would find it difficult to maintain his emotions smoothly all the time, even if Richard would not bother to guide a small sequence 5 at all.

As a misfit from the Northern Continent, Audrey felt that she had no confidence in what she said: "The invaders at that time were..."

"It's from Fusac."

Richard nodded: "Our small place is not as wealthy as Balam, but there are many small countries with some assets. First, Fusac's army took advantage of the opening of the new route and came over. When Balam's gold made the northern continent crazy, , they enslaved us. Then the Fusac people were driven away again, replaced by the rule of Intis, and Roen also took a share of it... Do you think it is necessary for me to divide you in detail? "

Audrey fell silent again.

She felt that she could understand Richard Ernst's thoughts - nonsense, if a witness or victim of the war tells something in front of you, but you can't feel the other person's emotions and thoughts, you better not be a psychiatrist. Got it! ——To be honest, Audrey is a little surprised by her calm attitude now. The corpse hanging outside makes her feel uneasy and instinctively afraid, but at the same time, thinking about it from another perspective, she seems to have accepted "my ancestors" If someone hates me, I will be implicated." Because Tawfik had already demonstrated it to her.

"If they are still alive, they will definitely drive me out of the division."

Richard joked to himself, with a narrow smile on his face: "If these two guys who have been keeping the pure discipline all their lives see their apprentice Sun Hun become the leader of the indulgent faction, they will probably be angry on the spot. God."

Audrey was silent, not knowing what expression to use to face this sentence.

The study was quiet for a while. Audrey lowered her eyes and asked softly:

"I see."

"After I came here, I was more able to feel the blood debt and sorrow, as well as the scars left by greed and war. I understand what you want me to see and think, but there is only so much I can do Duo, Your Highness, if you kill me..."

Richard interrupted Audrey's words with a surprised look:

"What are you talking about? Although I really want your Northern Continent to explode on the spot, do I think I will hurt the employees if I have nothing to do?"

ah. The words she mustered up the courage to say were stuck in her throat, and Audrey was a little embarrassed. Richard waved his hand and urged her to go back to work quickly:

"Okay, you have been talking to me for so long. The patients in the hospital should be waiting for you. I will deduct your salary for delaying working hours? You have so many things to do, don't think about these things. ."

"But - but you can really think about it, Audrey."

Richard stopped waving his hands and looked at Audrey with an indescribable emotion in his eyes:

"You also know the situation in the Northern Continent, right? You can really think about it. Although I don't know what the future will be like, if there is a day of subversion, or if I become my enemy, think about it carefully. When that day comes, When the time comes, how do you face the world again?"

After saying this, Richard smiled, then smiled and sighed.

Audrey couldn't help but laugh. She smiled and nodded gently, then raised her skirt, turned around and walked out.

"I will, Your Highness."

She turned around and left the small study room of more than ten square meters, gently closed the door, and came to the corridor outside. Letty Orr was already a familiar face here, and everyone who met her in the corridor would simply say hello to her, whether they were indulging or abstaining.

Audrey looked at the ground in front of her, thinking about her own thoughts, holding up her skirt, and walked slowly in a straight line in the corridor.

Outside the window, the sun is shining brightly, and there are two more decorations on the wall.

…

"Am I late again?"

In the wilderness of the God's Abandoned Land, the tattered figure finally stopped and began to put back the body parts that had strayed away due to poor sewing techniques. He found a random stone and sat down on it, and began to repair his temporary container.

"I didn't delay this time. It was Sequence 5's pace that was too slow."

He sat on the stone and muttered a few words, and then began to look for the incredible giant wolf.

He knew that the other party was also avoiding him. He was like a stargazing telescope with the highest magnification, but with a three-wheeled cart underneath. Because the speed difference between the two was so big, I could see the target's shadow and possible location, but I couldn't catch up. And the wolf became more relaxed after realizing this, and even wanted to fly him around like a kite.

"Don't let me catch you."

He blessed the other party in a low voice: "There was something wrong with the seal leading to the Western Continent before. He will definitely go there again. If I catch him, I will definitely take off that thing on him and take a look."

…

Moon City.

As soon as Klein approached Moon City, he felt his scalp numb, and every cell in his body resisted entering this place.

He felt that this should be due to both instinct and spiritual perception, because there were multiple Amons in the city, and he hated Amon very much. It was natural for him to feel the danger and not want to get close to them.

"The noble envoy of God."

The High Priest of Nim noticed Klein who seemed to be trying to stop him, and took the initiative to stop and asked with concern: "If you don't want to enter the city, we can also set up a tent for you at a safe distance outside the city. ."

Klein did not speak. He turned his gaze to the face of the Moon City Extraordinary who had just put on the monocle in front of him. After being seen by the divine envoy, the Extraordinary straightened his back subconsciously, and an expression appeared on his face. It is natural to feel nervous and confused.

The previous feeling of "like Amon" has disappeared.

"No need." Klein took a breath and said bravely, "I will go in with you. This is the purpose of my coming here."

He didn't know whether he was too nervous or whether Amon had only flashed in this extraordinary person. The most important thing was that Amon was the "god of deceit" and "the god of mischief". In a city with many ammons, it is not surprising that monocles appear as decorations. If you are too nervous and think that the person wearing the decoration is Amon, then you might be deceived.

But it never hurts to be a little cautious.

"OK."

The high priest was very moved by the responsible attitude of the divine envoy. He did not think there would be any danger in Moon City, but he still asked:

"Why don't the other two Your Excellencies come to Yuecheng as guests together?"

Because if they come in, Amon might really look here, and the difficulty of our survival will be directly upgraded to a level... And if there is only me, only a weak person like me, Amon will probably mainly play tricks on me. ...The most important thing is that I am also gambling. Since He thinks that I can temporarily resist "the fate of becoming Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun" for Him, then He will definitely not dare to let me die...

Klein's thoughts were spinning, and he finally smiled:

"Both of them are followers of the Sun God. When they come here, they have other tasks to do."

"oh."

The high priest nodded clearly. Although he didn't understand, he was very sensible and didn't ask any more questions.

The team continued to move forward. In about half an hour, the high priest led Klein through several simple guarded fortifications and saw the towering and ancient walls of Moon City from a distance.

During this process, no one suddenly wore a monocle anymore, which effectively alleviated Klein's anxiety.

After approaching, the high priest led Klein directly towards the door. But the "ancient scholar's" instinct was at work. Klein couldn't help but stepped forward, stretched out his hand and gently touched the city's walls - his hand was cold and thick, and every deep ravine represented an extremely dangerous time. attacks, and this city wall blocked all these dangers, allowing this city-state to continue in darkness for more than two thousand years.

Although this was once a city of vampires, due to thousands of years of human habitation and modification, there are no traces of the vampires anymore.

Klein followed the high priest into the city. It was night now, and there were not many people on the streets. Torches or lanterns were quietly lit on the walls of each sturdy and old main house, illuminating the city.

Although darkness is no longer dangerous, people here are still not used to going out at night.

After returning to his city, the high priest obviously became much more relaxed. He turned around and asked Klein humbly: "Dear envoy of the gods, may I gather everyone together and convey to them the 'Fool' His will?"

Klein pondered for a moment, thought for a moment, then stretched out his hand and pointed eastward:

"Don't worry, the time has not come yet. I will practice hard here for a while. If you want to feel the glory of the Lord and listen to His teachings, you can come over at any time during the day."

"I do cleansing and healing once a day, after the sun comes up."

According to the words of the high priest, there are still many people in the city who just politely believe in "The Fool", so he did not try to directly convey the letter to the residents of Moon City, nor did he intend to go directly to that city-state or ask for specific information, leaving them with Enough buffer space.

Moon City High Priest Nim quietly breathed a sigh of relief and responded with more respect:

“I will take your word to all people.”

Klein pursed his lips and added: "It is the mercy of the Lord to treat diseases. People who have already been treated can also do it again."

The high priest was a little confused by this sentence. Why should a person who has been healed by God once be healed again? But the idea disappeared from his mind in the next second, and the sentence disappeared together with it.

He only remembered that he promised to tell everyone the words of the divine envoy, so he bowed to Klein seriously and left with the other Extraordinaries.

Klein looked at his back, and after a moment, he also carried his animal skin lantern and walked towards an unoccupied empty house to the east.

The fever finally subsided.
