Chapter 267: Honest Returns

In the hall where the stone pillars were broken, around the altar that remained of the remains, a group of night watchmen wearing black trench coats and silk top hats appeared, led by the Archbishop of the Church of the Night Goddess Bakerland, Saint Anthony Stevenson.

"Destroyed?" he whispered, not pausing any longer, and went straight to the stone door that led to the inside.

A thick darkness emerged, the stone door opened silently, and St. Anthony led some of the night watchmen into the depths.

Along the way, they didn't find a single guard or anything of value, and it was as if it had been forcibly swept through.

Finally, they reached the deepest room, but there was nothing but walls and stone pillars, and the dark blue door where Crane came out was long gone.

The lanterns in the hands of several night watchmen suddenly lost their light, and darkness enveloped the room.

When everything returned to normal, they found that the walls around them had somehow melted away, but there were no secret doors or tunnels behind them, either thick dirt and stones, or corridors from which they came.

St. Anthony was silent for more than ten seconds before he spoke:

"Try divination.

"Search nearby. ”

............

Ahh

Klein walked through roadless cliffs and woods, sadly discovering that he seemed to be really sick.

The remnants of Mr. A's extraordinary abilities, combined with the soaking wet state of winter, made him shamefully cold.

However, he did not dare to stop and collect dead branches, light the fire, bake his clothes, and dry the banknotes, for he was afraid of being found by the extraordinary people of the church.

Even if he has obtained semi-official status with the "Mechanical Heart" through the endorsement of Stanton Issinger, but in the case of the awakening of the "Original Witch" and the arrival of the "True Creator" in two highest-level cases, he will inevitably be subject to strict investigation, such as taking turns to taste black tea from the "Machine Heart", the substitute punishment, and the night watchman, actively or passively retelling the whole process.

There are two hidden dangers in this, one is that he has acquaintances within the night watch, although the appearance of the great detective Sherlock Moriarty and the martyred Klein Moretti are quite different, and it is almost impossible to distinguish them by photos, but if they really want to face each other, he still has little confidence, and the other is because of the proximity of the path, the Church of the Goddess of the Night is not very friendly to people and things related to the Grim Reaper, dating back to the pale age at the end of the Quaternary Age, the Grim Reaper fell under the siege of the Seven Gods, and Sherlock Moriarty Detective was "called" at a critical moment The helper who came was a powerful descendant of the Grim Reaper, and this was a problem that could not be washed away.

"That very high-ranking powerhouse just now may be in a hurry to deal with Ince Zangwill and '0-08', and he doesn't have time to pay attention to a small friendly character like me, but I can't be careless because of this, I still have to run!

"Well, if you have the chance, you can write to the "Mechanical Heart" and explain the second reason why I had to leave Baekland for a while, so that there may be a chance to cooperate in the future, of course, you must first secretly observe whether the "Mechanical Heart" is strongly hostile to the Descendants of the Grim Reaper...... I wonder how Mr. Azik is doing now......

"Hehe, maybe in the official announcement, Sherlock Moriarty died in a meteorite, which can be regarded as living up to this identity, this name ......"

Crane endured alternating fevers and colds, trying to find a town as soon as possible and get into the crowd.

Only in human society can the abilities of "Facelings" be brought into full play.

The woman who worked with Mr. A, uh, was supposed to be a witch, and went to the East End...... Judging from the situation of the ceremony, I am afraid that there will be mass deaths over there, I don't know...... Crane, who had the spiritual intuition of a soothsayer, suddenly felt a heavy heart.

At this moment, all the colors in front of him became intense, as if they had been splashed with oil paint by the gods.

The feeling was fleeting, and Klein found himself moving away from where he had been, and saw the bronzed, soft-haired Azzi Eggers appear next to him.

"Mr. Azik, are you not hurt?" he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yes. Azik replied calmly, and then smiled, "But for the 'undead', this is not a big problem. ”

Crane relieved himself and asked instead:

"What about Ince Zangwille and '0-08'?"

"Ince Zangwill is still alive, still in charge of the '0' Class Seal. Azik said as he walked.

Crane struggled to keep up and couldn't help but sigh:

"What a pity. ”

"Don't worry, he's not badly injured. Azik said solemnly, " And more importantly, we know that he is secretly working with the royal family, so we don't have to worry about not finding him in the future, so that you can concentrate on improving yourself, and I can also try to go to a few places that have been recalled first, and awaken more memories, hehe, you are lucky, I have been secretly observing MI9 and the royal family, trying to determine the whereabouts of Ince Zangwill, in this, the Red Rose Manor is a key point, so I always wander around there, otherwise I will not come to your rescue so quickly. ”

Speaking of this, Klein was suddenly a little embarrassed:

"Mr. Azik, don't you wonder why I didn't die?"

"I often go into the coffin and wake up, that's something I remember before. Azik smiled nonchalantly, "And in my broken memory, similar things are rare for others, but they are not without precedent. ”

often went into the coffin and woke up...... Often, Klein suddenly finds that the problems he worries about are not a matter in the eyes of the real bigwigs.

It is worthy of the "immortal" of the "Grim Reaper" path...... Well, Mr. Azik said before that he had stayed in this sequence for a long time, and the implication was that he had already been promoted...... Klein thought for a moment and asked with some concern:

"Mr. Azik, will Ince Zangnevere find out that I am Klein Moretti?"

He was afraid that the other party would retaliate against Benson and Melissa.

"He shouldn't have been, at most think we've known each other for a long time, or you're simply mine, mine, in police parlance, my informant. Azik recalled, "But that '0' seal might be detected, but you don't have to worry. ”

"Why?" Klein asked.

Azk didn't know what he remembered, and his expression suddenly became a little strange, as if he wanted to laugh and feel frightened:

"That '0' level seal will always try to write its own master, this should be its essence, it will not change, so, this kind of critical moment can make Ince Zangwill suffer a lot of information, I don't think it will take the initiative to reveal, unless it involves something that cannot be bypassed and cannot be explained. ”

Seeing that Mr. Azik was so firm and reasonable, Crane let out a sigh, and the cold seemed to be a little better.

Seeing this, Azik added:

"You'd better stay away from Beckland in the near future, Ince Zangwill may retaliate against you with that '0' seal, relying on your pseudonym.

"As long as it's not in Beckland, there's no problem, that '0' level seal won't have more of an impact than a metropolis. ”

As I guessed, there is a range limit...... Otherwise, Ince Zangwill could have hid in a small town in the southern continent and leisurely arranged the fate of all his targets, without worrying about being found...... Crane asked thoughtfully:

"It's okay to go back to Beckland for a day, or half a day, right? ”

After saying that, he rubbed his face, and instantly changed back to the way he was when Tingen was.

Azk's eyebrows moved slightly, and he nodded:

"It's not a big problem. ”

He glanced back at the distance, which was no longer visible:

"I seem to be under the sights of the powerful presence of the Church of the Night, you better not follow me, lest it be affected, hehe, they are interested in the extraordinary properties related to the Grim Reaper. ”

"Well, I'm going to go to sea, digesting potions while looking for mermaids, this is what I need to be promoted. Klein laid out his plan.

Azk tilted his head:

"Mermaids? Mermaids that have become necromancy? I can find at least four. ”

"Yes, no......" Crane reached out and wiped his forehead.

His instincts told him that it wouldn't work, but he was going to go to the gray mist to do a divination to make sure.

Azk didn't mention the necromantic mermaid again, and instead said:

"Something, contact by messenger. ”

Messenger...... Klein suddenly felt weak and ashamed:

"It, it died in the battle between me and Mr. A, it saved my life. ”

Azik glanced at him, shook his head and smiled:

"Don't care, as long as it is not killed by an angel-level powerhouse, or by special methods, as long as the underworld still exists, it can be slowly reborn there.

"And before that, there were, yes, uh, and I can't count how many there were. ”

The Courier who looks so strong and so huge has a legion?Crane opened his mouth, speechless.

His shame dissipated considerably, and he asked curiously:

"Mr. Azik, where is the underworld, or hell?"

"The spirit realm, to be more accurate, is that it is a special place carved out by the ancient god of death within the spirit realm. "Azik didn't hide it.

The Ancient Grim Reaper?That should be the ancient god Gregarry, the ancestor of the immortal birds...... It turns out that the underworld is subordinate to the spirit world, so it is no wonder that the basic structure in the occult is "the real world-the spirit world-the astral world", excluding the underworld and the abyss...... Klein was about to ask a question about it, when he suddenly remembered something and hurriedly said:

"Mr. Azik, I've got a 'blasphemy card' made by Russell the Great, which contains the secrets of the high sequence, and I think it will help you wake up more things, but you'll have to wait a while, it's hidden in Beckland. ”

Klein didn't mention the bounty, fearing that he would reveal the secrets of the Tarot Society, the mysterious space above the Gray Mist, and Miss "Justice", so he could only thank Mr. Azik for his help and dedication in this euphemistic way.

Azk glanced at him in some surprise, but finally said nothing, and said softly:

"When you get it back, let the messenger bring it to me, and I will return it to you as soon as I study it, or you can directly copy the corresponding content to me. ”

He paused, and seemed to remember something, so he took out a glove from his coat pocket that was as light as human skin, and handed it to Klein:

"I've awakened the memory and don't need it anymore, hehe, it's a relic of that pirate lieutenant general, I've made some seals so that it doesn't usually go hungry, but every time you use it, you have to feed it with a human flesh and soul, otherwise, it will devour you. ”

...... "wriggling hunger" stems from the legacy of the death of a "shepherd"? Klein immediately remembered what the glove meant.
