Chapter 6: Before Darkness

······ Wherever the sun shines, there is the land of George Britain, a kingdom of glory and power never before seen in the history of Obaro. However, in this way, the country with such an incomparably powerful power cannot stop people's pursuit of freedom and equality, and cannot stop people's ······

So today, here, in this new continent far from Obarro.

We, the representatives of the United States of America of the Federation of Nineteen Autonomous States, on behalf of and under their authority the good people of the states, appeal to the highest justice in the whole world, to state our solemn intentions, and solemnly declare that these united autonomous states are and have the right to become free and independent states, that they revoke all obligations of allegiance to the royal family of St. George, and that all political relations between them and the State of St. George's Britannia are hereby severed!

As a free and equal independent nation, the United States of America has all the right to declare war, to make peace, to form alliances, to trade and to do what independent nations have the right to do.

—Excerpt from the 1723 America Declaration of Independence

At the same time that our Hong Tiangui, the head of the Hong Congress, successfully led the nascent Taiping Society to land on the new continent, the west coast of Yinzhou.

On this planet where the spiritual tide is gone, the immortals are withdrawn, and the end of the law has descended, the tributary of the fate of the protagonists of the original era has not had time to be affected by Hong Tiangui before he can make a bigger move, and it is still slowly flowing along the original trajectory.

Daqing Dynasty, the magic capital of Shanghai.

Two Daqing people with a huge difference in appearance, but with a rare confident temperament of Daqing people in this era, sat in a private room of "Ren's Cafe" near Shanglu Donggang, through the glass window, looking at the countless Daqing coolies who were carrying goods back and forth with their braided hair wrapped around their necks, and were silent.

After a long while, the female crown of the Daomen, who was wearing a light blue Taoist robe, with a good figure, a veil, and only a pair of eyes like autumn water, came back to her senses first.

"Senior Brother Lin, is this United States of America really a free and equal country?"

Holding a volume of newspaper on the United States of America, where she was about to go, she spoke to an old man with long hair over a shawl and an apricot-yellow robe across from her.

"Hey!"

The woman's voice made the old man come back to his senses, he first sighed, and then subconsciously took a sip of the coffee in front of him that was extremely bitter because there was no added sugar, and frowned in response.

"Senior sister!"

"None of the 19 countries that have established concessions on the vast land of our Shenzhou are well-intentioned."

"The country of America is known as freedom and equality, and the country of St. George's Britain, which entered the capital, is also known as the country of gentlemen with civilized etiquette!"

The old man in the Taoist robe paused, took another sip of bitter original coffee, and turned his head to look at the newspaper in the hand of the woman opposite, especially the huge St. George letters below the name of the newspaper.

"Going back, I'll ask Qiusheng to put a few books written by my countrymen on the humanities and history of America in the luggage I prepared for you."

"When you're lonely on the boat, you can take it out and read one or two."

"It's also that our senior brother is not angry, in our generation, only you, who have the body of the moon wheel, can use the moon light to release the Dao technique of manifesting the saint level."

"This Yinzhou Demon Cave Catastrophe, Senior Sister followed those Obaro's exorcists to act collectively, don't act impulsively."

"The last remnant of the dragon vein in Shenzhou can still support the Kyushu enchantment for seventeen or eight years, even if the demonic qi of the demon cave is flooded, it is nothing more than tens of millions of Obaro people dying in Yinzhou."

"More than ten years later, when the end of the law comes completely, no matter how much demonic qi leaks out, no matter how big it is, it won't cause any harm."

"This is originally a stupid thing they made, we Shenzhou monks are not allowed to make sacrifices for others!"

"When encountering a dangerous arrangement, it is enough to refuse directly."

"With Senior Sister's current cultivation, if she refuses wholeheartedly, presumably those people will not be able to interfere!"

In the words of the old man in the apricot yellow robe after mentioning the "exorcist", his tone was cold and emotionless, and the chill in the middle made the young woman opposite him subconsciously condense.

"I see, brother!"

The female crown nodded and responded solemnly.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

At this time, on the door of the private room, there was an appropriate knock on the door, interrupting the next words of the two.

The old man in the Taoist robe glanced at the female crown on the opposite side and made a look.

And Jingli Nuguan also reacted quickly, and raised her right hand familiarly on a pair of towering breasts, pinching a mysterious legal decision.

The delicate body surface instantly became hazy, and the appearance changed into a young man who was 8 or 9 points similar to the woman's appearance, but the women's special products completely disappeared, and he looked extremely handsome.

"Come in!"

After seeing that his junior sister's spell was released, the old man in the Taoist robe spoke indifferently.

"Master, Uncle Miaoshan."

The middle-aged Taoist priest with a pair of light black square-rimmed glasses, a black beard under his nose, and a handsome trace of his youth could be seen on the outside, pushed the door in, and first bowed to the two people in front of him before continuing.

"I'm ready to buy the luggage and tomorrow's ticket."

"Well done, Akisheng!"

The old man in the Taoist robe nodded in response, and stood up to face the female crown in front of him, which had changed into a male.

"Senior brother, let's go back to the hotel together!"

"If you are interested, after putting down the salute, Senior Brother will take you to take a walk around this Dashanglu!"

"Westerners' newspapers say that although there are many fish, but in terms of the degree of development, it can be ranked ······ in the whole world."

He said to the junior brother beside him as he led the way towards the outside of the café.

The middle-aged Taoist priest known as Qiusheng, followed behind his master and uncle, walked out of the door of the café, he looked at the word "Ren" on the signboard of the café behind him with complicated eyes, and after a long sigh of relief, he walked into the flow of people coming and going on Shanglu Port Street with his master and uncle.

The three Taoist priests had just left, and on the second floor of the café, an old man wearing a toad lens and a melon skin hat and dressed as a housekeeper stood beside him in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass window, and an elegant middle-aged lady overlooking Shanglu Port walked quickly.

"Miss, Chief Lin Jiu and they have already left."

······

——————————————————————

Obarro, this land that is almost as old as the Divine Continent.

In the Kingdom of Sardinia, the Holy City of the Vatican, known as the brightest, holiest city in Aurbaro, closest to the glory of God's Yahweh.

Archbishop Helsin, dressed in a crimson cardinal's gown, walked briskly along the long avenue of the main angel in the Holy City.

The melodious singing of the choir of young children echoed along the avenue; The heavily armed Zurich guards saluted him with their chests touched.

But the archbishop did not pay attention to the movement around him, and he walked with a serious face towards the deepest part of the main angelic avenue, where, in front of a vaulted building called the Inquisition, which was the most feared by pagans before the Obaro Renaissance, dozens of figures with blood-colored crosses on their chests and black iron masks were waiting for his arrival.

After a few minutes of walking, Archbishop Helsing finally arrived at the silver gates of the Inquisition.

After watching dozens of adjudicating priests salute him, they opened the silver door of the Inquisition, and a purple-robed archbishop, who was in charge of the affairs of the Inquisition and had been waiting for a long time, walked out from the inside and said indifferently to him.

"Your Excellency, Bishop."

"We, do we really open that person's coffin?"

"You know, we paid a huge price to seal ······"

"Enough!"

Archbishop Helsing stared fiercely at the purple-clothed cardinal in front of him, a fellow from a rival faction, and unceremoniously interrupted him.

"Archbishop Marlos, now is not the time for the Holy Lord Sect and the Holy Blessing Sect to fight for power!"

"Information from the Knights Templar that the demon cave sealed by the ancestors of the Indinavian people in the New World is about to erupt, and the lamb souls of the 19 dioceses are about to be threatened!"

"The Protestant people over there have also found out about the mass gathering of those disgusting dark creatures."

The archbishop's unusual, stern tone made the scalp of the seemingly indifferent purple cardinal Marlos tingle in front of him.

Marlos wasn't the true leader of the Inquisition after all, and his immediate boss, the cardinal's stature, was tracking down dozens of ancient vampire families and the massive disappearance of anomalies from Obarro.

"Papal Oath - Breaking Van Helsing's Seal."

"Do you and those behind you want to disobey the orders of the Holy Crown?"

Facing the cardinal's questioning, Marlos, who was one level lower than the cardinal, suddenly couldn't maintain an indifferent expression and hurriedly said.

"No, of course I will not disobey the orders of the Holy See."

"The seal lifting ceremony is ready, Archbishop Helsin, please follow me."

After the purple-clothed archbishop Marlos hurriedly finished speaking, he took the lead and stepped forward, opened a secret passage to the underground prison of the Holy City of the Vatican on the plain wall of the Inquisition, and walked in to begin to lead the way.

"Humph!"

The archbishop snorted coldly, but he didn't dare to slack off.

At the thought of the creature they were about to release, even he felt a little creepy in his heart, and the thin light and holy power in his body could not bring him the slightest sense of security at all.

But the situation was urgent, and now, the entire Holy See had to rely on the power of that monster.

Without further ado, he followed closely behind Marlos and walked briskly towards the most mysterious and terrifying place in the Holy City······
