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

739

In the end, Klein still didn't really go to divination and ask God.

The reason is simple, he doesn't dare.

"By the way, Klein, what is your real purpose of becoming the Lord of Mysteries?" The Outer God asked whatever he thought of, very casually, "I don't think you seem to be the type who thinks you are a savior. Why do you do this? Such a thankless thing?”

The sun hangs quietly in the sky, spreading light and heat to the ground.

Klein didn’t intend to tell everything he knew about this unknown god, so he said vaguely:

"To gain strength."

"What's the point of gaining power?"

"In order to protect the people you want to protect, in order to do more of what you want to do..." Klein originally planned to say more, but he stopped his desire to talk in time, "That's all, most people That’s what you want to gain strength for.”

The Outer God nodded in agreement: "But how much you can do after gaining power is what makes everyone different."

Klein didn't answer.

"Some people have such thoughts when they are weak. When they become strong, or even a little stronger, all kinds of inner thoughts begin to appear... If you are a caterpillar, then move from a tree You may not be able to reach another tree even if you use up all your life, but when you are reduced to a butterfly, you only need to flap your wings and fly for a moment to move this distance... It's really interesting that humans don't have this kind of leap in life levels. , there will be no changes in appearance or race, but it can still show different personalities at different stages."

The Lord of Withering muttered a few words to himself.

Of course, He knew why Klein wanted to gain power, and He was interested in Klein precisely because of his wish.

But the words "giving humans the power to choose" sound too big and empty. In His eyes, it is no different from saving the world. To a certain extent, this is even more difficult than saving the earth, but Klein doesn't realize it yet. ——Furthermore, Klein is not the type of person who likes to save the world, but he can say such words. Not only about himself, even God finds it interesting.

Isn’t it normal for human beings to have changes in their thoughts according to the environment at different times and stages?

Klein didn't hear any problems. Instead, he was convinced through these words that this unknown god was definitely not a human being.

He asked, “Do you have great love for mankind on earth?”

There is no family, no one you love, no real relatives here. How strong is your sense of racial identity?

"...I don't do it because I love it."

Klein replied calmly.

This question made him feel a little baffled, but it also resonated with him to a certain extent.

It is precisely because the people he cares about are no longer in the current world, and because he has the qualifications to touch powerful forces, that he will expand his horizons and try to help all humans on the earth.

The Lord of Wither frowned. He had not expected this answer, but he soon felt relieved. After all, it was unrealistic to expect an old human who had just arrived in the current world for a year and a half to have any sense of belonging to the new world.

"In this case, can you guarantee that the lives of the humans you have helped will be better than before?"

This - how can I guarantee this?

There are so many people in the world, who can guarantee that they have the ability to make everyone live a better life? No, but if you think about it carefully, it's not impossible. Wouldn't you help Silver City and Yue City live better than before? If you want to improve people's lives, the first step is to liberate productivity. People in the East District are no better off than in Moon City before, but as long as they have food, they can look for jobs and have more chances of survival...

Klein thought seriously for a few seconds: "I will try my best to do this."

Hey, this is different from what I thought?

The Outer God felt a little confused. He thought that Klein, whose ambition was comparable to the ancient Sun God, should be able to nod confidently and proudly. Then he realized that he seemed to have some misunderstandings about the logic of Klein's behavior - if Klein wasn't He made that decision because of his identification with human beings or his love for the earth. So what are his internal factors?

After a period of strange silence, just as Klein was thinking about whether he had said something wrong, he suddenly asked again:

"If, I mean if."

——If what drives him is not his love for humans and the earth, then...is it similar to the mentality of "it's already here" and "I can only become a mystery anyway, so why not do more good things"? ?

"Klein, you don't seem to have a reason to 'have to do this'. So, if there is a candidate who is passable in terms of character and morality, at least not worse than you, and who is also competing for the Lord of Mystery, What would you do, would you give up?”

…

"Why did you hint the Demon of Knowledge's plans to him?"

Edward, who listened to their exchange, did not quite approve of his other self's behavior. Although this was no longer a secret in the starry sky, on Earth, there were not more than a handful of people and gods who knew about it.

Although the Demon of Knowledge may not do this, and the gods on earth may not stop it, he still feels that it is better to hide similar things.

"I find it interesting."

Edward covered his face: "Do you know what annoys me the most about your attitude?"

"I know, but you don't have my authority. It's normal that you don't understand my thoughts, just like I don't understand some of your thoughts."

Banshen didn't feel there was anything wrong with his behavior at all, but answered plausibly:

"Klein is an interesting person. The underlying logic of his thinking and behavior is actually to 'take things as they come'. Now he has a lofty dream, and he is currently working hard for this dream, but part of the motivation to realize the dream is Driven by fate, I'm just curious about how Klein will change if he loses the idea of ​​'having to do something by himself' to a certain extent."

"After all, even if Amon is really allowed to be a secret, the earth will not explode immediately and humans will not become extinct on the spot, right?"

"Okay." Edward didn't bother to argue with himself, since it was impossible to tell the difference anyway, "Then what did he say?"

"His answer is quite interesting, a little more interesting than I thought."

Banshen cleared his throat and began to imitate Klein's tone:

"He first asked me who this person was. He probably thought it was Pales, or Zaratul, or Kotal from the Eastern Continent, but he didn't think about Bethel Abraham... After all, the door has been facing him. If he talks nonsense about his descendants, normal people would think he is crazy."

"If I really want to say it, I think Pales Zoroastrian is actually a very good choice. You see, all his family members were killed by Amon, and he himself was left to survive for a short time. An anchor is not enough. No, but you can still talk to a young man calmly. Isn’t this enough to prove that Pales is patient, humane and has a good character?"

"Don't go off topic."

"Okay. In short, he didn't guess who might compete with him for the Lord of Mysteries, but he didn't think of giving up immediately."

"His answer was that even if the competitor was really better than him in all aspects, then he would still give it a try. After all, according to my description, he thought they might be able to understand each other. To make the world a better place.”

Seeing Edward fall into silence, the half-length chuckled twice and joked to himself:

"Are you feeling interesting too?"

"I think this is really interesting, and Klein's future promotion path is also very interesting. I am very much looking forward to his future."

Colin Iliad meditated for a moment, stabilized his spirit, and started walking back before dark.

When he walked not far outside Silver City, he suddenly found that in addition to the torches of the patrol near the city wall, there was also a person who should not be here standing near the city gate.

Derrick Berg.

Colin frowned. He knew that there was no way to avoid disaster. The attitude of the "Angel of Destiny" and his sudden departure had obviously proved something. Amon in the city must have made some guesses - he naturally did the same. Having made plans to encounter danger when returning to the city, the only surprise was that the person who appeared here turned out to be Derrick.

This is not a good sign.

Derrick Berg was the envoy who contacted "The Fool", and Colin always felt that at least he should be normal. But if the other party is now driven by Amon, doesn't it mean that "The Fool" can't even protect his own divine envoy?

As for the method of expelling "Amon's clone", there are only two cases recorded in Silver City. One is Colin's biological brother Yudel, who was beheaded at the bottom of the round tower after being parasitized for decades, and his clone was also was killed, and secondly, Derrick Berg was parasitized later. When he was unconscious, he initiated a secret contract ritual, prayed to "The Fool", and borrowed the power of "The Fool" to kill and expel Amon's clone. , saved the life of the host, and then the "Angel of Destiny" drove away Amon from his body, but it did not kill the "worm of time".

However, the "Insect of Time" can certainly be considered a creature related to the spirit world. The "Demon Hunter" has the method to kill the spirit world creatures, but Colin Iliad has never fought against the spirit world creatures. , not sure whether he can successfully get rid of the "worm of time".

While thinking about countermeasures, he quietly approached Silver City and appeared openly and openly in front of the patrol team.

"Who... Chief!"

When the captain of the patrol team noticed someone approaching, Colin Iliad was already ten meters away from them. He watched the team leader nervously raise his hand suddenly, but he still didn't put it down immediately after seeing his face clearly. The captain asked very alertly:

"Have you found any edible herbs out there?"

Colin Iliad shook his head at him and replied in a calm voice: "No, previously, some residents in the city said they accidentally witnessed a huge monster outside the city. I went out in the morning to explore the nearby hills and plains. Look for signs of similar creatures.”

Some of the monsters wandering around the God-Forsaken Land can take the form of others, but most of them have no thinking or language abilities. After hearing this answer, the patrol leader finally breathed a sigh of relief and put down his hand that was ready to give instructions:

"Welcome back, chief."

"Um."

Colin briefly said hello to the patrol team, then staggered away from them and walked towards Derrick Berg who was standing at the door.

"chief."

Derrick also saw him and showed a relieved expression: "You are finally back. When I heard that you left suddenly, I still can't let go. After all, I have seen that monster, and its eyes are higher than the city wall. A few meters out..."

Colin nodded slightly and asked as if unintentionally: "Is it just because of this that you can't let go?"

Derrick nodded, then shook his head: "Chief, after you left, at noon, the Round Tower observed a strange silver-white light appearing in the northeast. I think that light was a bit like when we explored the 'Giant King's Court' before. The 'King Court Chaser' I met, chief, have you already..." He lowered his voice and looked around, as if he was wary that walls have ears, "Have you been successfully promoted?"

Colin looked at him quietly, no emotion showing on his face.

He didn't answer, but asked: "What were you wary of just now?"

Only then did Derrick's expression change, and some real panic appeared. Then, he lowered his voice again: "Chief, I always feel that I have done some strange things recently, but I don't know what I am doing at all." Can’t remember what I did.”

"Amon seems to have appeared in Silver City! I saw some people behaving strangely, as if they were plotting something... But when I got close, they would quickly unify their voices, and sometimes I would Relevant memories will be lost..."

Derrick became more and more nervous as he spoke. He seemed to be sincerely reminding the chief that something was wrong in the city, and he also seemed to be worried that the chief would be affected.

Colin didn't say much. He nodded and walked towards the city gate: "I understand."

"Okay." Derrick looked at the chief's appearance. After hesitating for a while, he breathed a sigh of relief. He followed in the footsteps of Colin Iliad and asked again half expectantly and half nervously, "Chief, did you complete it successfully this time..."

"It failed." Colin answered bluntly, "I tried to get the two level 0 sealed objects in Silver City to give me blessings, but unfortunately, it failed. Don't ask again in the future."

Derrick was stunned and fell behind Colin.

After a while, he touched his right eye socket, frowned and muttered something to himself, and then followed him again.

…

Klein held the animal skin lantern and quickly approached Moon City.

He walked alone in the dusk of the Eastern Continent, thinking about the next strategy, his shadow stretched very long behind him.

"The second 'blasphemous slate' most likely originated from the Creator of Silver City, and is now in the hands of Adam... Although Amon and his brother are doing their own things and their relationship is not very good, they have cooperated in the past, so I I don’t believe that He hasn’t seen the ‘Profane Slate’... In this case, He must have mastered the ritual of the ‘Miracle Master’, and can guess that I want to take Silver City out of the land abandoned by God. By then, He will not need it. If you try too hard to track me, just wait at the 'Giant Court'..."

"Well, we can't follow the enemy's expectations, especially since this is the 'God of Fraud' and the 'God of Mischief'. I don't know how many accidents will come from this... If it is because of my participation, it will lead to the collapse of Silver City for thousands of years. If my hope is dashed, that would be completely contrary to my original intention...

"Change the path? This is feasible. The problem with the two 'Planeswalkers' is that they may hear Mr. Door's ravings, and they will be more exposed to the gaze and pollution from the stars than the Sequence 2 Angels of other paths. Of course , this is not completely unacceptable..."

"Also, Mr. Men has blocked the way for the 'Apprentice' to rise. He has at least mastered 'Uniqueness' plus two copies of the Sequence 1 Extraordinary Characteristics, maybe even three copies..."

"You don't have to switch to 'Planeswalker', but you have to make corresponding preparations. When my choices increase and Amon wants to stop me, the difficulty of laying traps will increase significantly. Only in this way can I be able to Under the strong pressure of the King of Angels, he became an angel!"

"Well, I don't have any preset positions. I will prepare the 'Miracle Master' on one side and the 'Planeswalker' on the other. I will decide which path to choose based on the specific situation."

With his train of thought settled, Klein felt completely refreshed. His thoughts were extremely active, and he soon had a preliminary plan:

"There is no rush to ask Miss Magician's teacher about the 'Planeswalker' potion formula and the corresponding '0' level sealed object. This will scare the Abraham family and make them wonder if Miss Magician worships something. Evil God, have you joined some bad organization..."

"Given their current state, there is a high probability that they will not reply to the letter, will change their identity, move their residence, or directly cut off contact...

"Well, I think the head of the 'Secret Saint' Botis is a very good gift. Regardless of whether the Abraham family gives it to the 'Star Worm' or not, this matter has to be put on the schedule... I hope 'justice' The young lady should digest the 'Dream Walker' potion as soon as possible. I hope that the 'Hermit' lady will be prepared. I also hope that the 'Magician' and 'Judgement' ladies can improve before taking action. The only problem is, 'Saint of Secrets' Mr. X can be regarded as my colleague now. I have already taken action against Mr.

Thinking of this, and thinking of his friendship with the true Creator, Klein suddenly felt a little self-deprecating.

"It's all because you can't restrain your subordinates when you're crazy... This can't be my problem, right?"

He kept moving forward in a fairly good mood for a while, and soon, the tall walls of the Moon City were already in sight.

At the same time, he also saw the team that was probably arranged by the high priest of Nim to welcome him.

I don’t know if the high priest who knows how to observe people realized that Klein didn’t seem to like monocles very much. None of the people who came to guide him wore monocles, and they were not the ones who went to see him on the first day.

But as he approached, the residents of the city in those few months raised their heads almost at the same time as if they had been trained, showed almost the same smile, and waved to him. Only one person's movements were slightly slower, like It's because I didn't keep up the pace.

"Welcome to your arrival, Your Majesty the Divine Envoy!"

TBC

Klein's relatively good mood suddenly disappeared without a trace.
