Chapter 9: The 68th Tarot Conference
With Vicente Miranda's awakening, his control over the tributaries of the River of Eternal Darkness has been fully transferred to the Goddess, including the part that was once infused into the soul of the Queen of the Blood Moon to help protect her against the contamination of the Fallen Mother Goddess.
Therefore, as soon as Abner arrived at the "Observer Castle", he received a report from the "Dream Ape" Chanyou, knowing that the former "God of Beauty" was about to wake up.
"Fortunately, nearly two dry years have passed, and the pollution on Ornia's body has been almost consumed by the water of the 'River of Eternal Darkness', and the remaining ones, although the most stubborn part, at least in this ancient castle, there is 'the source of depravity, and under the suppression of the old corpses, the will of the fallen mother goddess cannot be extended for the time being."
After taking a closer look, Abner, who came here as "Vicente Miranda", breathed a sigh of relief, and then went straight to the second floor and entered the room where Ornia was.
The various dreams that filled the room had vanished, revealing their original appearance.
At this moment, the beautiful lady with black hair and red eyes who was lying on the bed like a "sleeping beauty" was slowly opening her eyes and looking at the approaching "Vicente" with eyes full of "desire".
But soon, her expression returned to clarity, and her whole temperament also changed, from the original lazy and charming to graceful and noble.
"How long have I been asleep?" Ornia asked in a hoarse voice.
"I've been doing it for more than 700 years." Abner replied casually with a simple calculation.
"More than 1,700 years...... Oh, what a long dream......" Ornia sighed, slowly sat up from the bed, looked at Abner and asked, "But I can feel that my problem is not completely solved...... Why wake me up?
"And, though I've been asleep, I've sensed your fall...... What is your situation now?"
Although Ornia relied on the "Ornia Ring" given to her by Rheinkalendia to get rid of the control of the "Fallen Mother Goddess" and came to the "Observer's Castle", if Vicente had not used the water of the tributary of the "River of Eternal Darkness" to help her suppress the pollution, I am afraid that she would have gone crazy long ago.
Therefore, there is some subtle connection between her and Vicente, and you can feel the state of the other party.
"I did fall, but I was 'resurrected' again." Instead of explaining too much about his problem, Abner said, "I've now lost control of the River of Eternal Darkness, its tributaries, so it's inevitable that you'll wake up...... However, with your current situation, there is no way to solve it in the current era.
"The current era...... Is the end coming?" Ornia was silent for a moment, then asked rhetorically, "Is it the 'All-Knowing and Almighty, reappeared, or' Mystery, revived?"
A "new Lord of Mysteries" will be born in the near future, and you can choose to invest in Him now. Abner suggested with a smile.
This is also a matter of coercion for Mr. "Fool", I believe that Klein will not refuse, after all, he has his own face, and there is no danger.
"Has the 'mystery' grown to the point where it can solve my problems?" Ornia asked.
"I can't completely solve it for the time being, but it should be feasible to shelter your body for a short time." Abner replied after a moment's thought.
Ornia pondered for a moment, then nodded, "I'll think about it...... Thank you for your suggestion......
At this point she paused before she spoke again, "Rhine..... You must have come to me more than just waiting for me to wake up and tell me about the "mysterious" thing, right?
"Let's talk about it......
"I owe you, and I won't refuse anything I want me to do."
Vicente didn't hide her identity when she rescued Ornia in the first place, so the "Blood Moon Queen" already knew that the "Revenant Master" was the "Silver-Eyed Count".
Abner came to see Ornia, and indeed asked her for help, so he organized a statement and said, "Because of the needs of the 'ritual', I want to establish a rebellion in the Southern Continent, and even a new country, but I don't have that much time to deal with too many chores, so I want to ask you
Help."
The "Queen of the Blood Moon" was once the queen of the Trenthorst Empire, and she helped the "Night Emperor" deal with many national affairs, and was a very good candidate for governance.
"Okay......" Ornia hesitated for a moment before responding, and then couldn't help but ask, "In what capacity do you want me to help you with governance?"
Abner knew what she was hesitating and resisting, so he replied with a smile, "Archon."
Ornia nodded with satisfaction, and asked in detail how much territory Abner was now, how many people she had, what enemies she had, and what allies she was.
Abner only shrugged his shoulders, and then took out a broken bowl out of nowhere, and said to Ornia with a smile:
"This is the only thing we have to start with......
......
Fersak Empire, Olmir Palace.
Empress Sophia II was about to return to her bedroom to rest after listening to the battle at the front.
But at this time, her footsteps suddenly paused, so that the maids carrying the corners of her long skirt almost couldn't react.
But the Empress quickly adjusted her posture and continued to walk towards the bedchamber.
After entering the bedroom and sending away the maids, she began to study the messages that appeared in her "sea of mind".
- This is the secret contact between the official members of the "Dusk Hermit Society".
The message was sent by Boris the "Glory" and "Duke of Terror" Yadabao, who confirmed that Abner Brayne had been promoted to angel, warned her not to leave the Ormir Palace without permission in the near future, and advised her to cancel this year's royal winter hunt.
After reading this message, Sophia II couldn't help frowning, she didn't expect that a simple organizational task would offend an angel.
However, she did not regret this, after all, the temptation of the "Death Archon" potion formula was in front of her, and she could not help but be tempted.
"Winter Hunt cancelled? It's not possible, and I have no reason to cancel it...... Especially this year, the winter hunt is a good time to boost morale and sell more war bonds to stimulate the economy.
"Moreover, Yadabao and Boris are too careful, they are just a newly promoted angel...... During the winter hunt, we must have angels with us.
"What's more, I'm already a 'ferryman' and wield the 'Sword of Eternal Sleep', and I'm no weaker than an angel."
Sophia II thought disapprehantly.

At 3 p.m. on Monday, the tarot meeting will be held on time.
