Chapter 123: Assassination
The "fool" comes, and the "light" comes..... Are you sure this is Moon City, not Goose City? After Klein complained in his heart, he turned to think about another thing:
More than 200 years ago, it should have been the time of Liu Bo's "Machine Emperor..... He knew I was coming, so did he leave hope for the remnants of the city-states who couldn't make it to the Morning Star City migration route with a "prophecy"?
Well..... The "fool" in his "prophecy" does not necessarily refer to me, but should refer to someone who has been put down by the "Source Castle..... But it was cheaper for me and saved me a lot of time to gain the trust of the other party.
In addition, it is likely that similar "prophecy" information is buried in the area around Silver City, but the "warriors" are the mainstay, and the "Silver City" extraordinaries who can only reach the middle sequence at most do not have the ability to "prophecy".
It is possible that Elder Lovia will receive this "prophecy" after being promoted to a demigod, but the "true creator" may not be willing to let her "hear" it.
As his thoughts turned, Crane tentatively asked Nim, the High Priestess of Mooncity, about the congealing mist.
Maybe it's because Crane claims to be a missionary for the "Fool", maybe it's because he just healed the deformity that made the remnants of Moon City feel kindness, maybe it's his arrival that makes those gray mist "boil" for a moment, or maybe it's both....
In short, High Priest Nim did not hide it, and unreservedly informed Klein of Mooncity's thousands of years of experience in trying to open the gray fog barrier.
And Klein pulled out various materials from the "historical pores" on the spot, repeating the ritual of the remnants of Moon City. After trying again and again, a sound suddenly sounded in his ears.
The voice came from the depths of the gray mist, layered, faint, and unusually vague. Crane held his breath, gathered his thoughts, and began to listen intently.
The sound that reverberates in the gray mist seems to come from a number of different objects, intertwined, sometimes interfering with each other, canceling each other, sometimes overlapping, and resonating.
Gradually, the voice became a little clearer in Klein's ears, especially the moment of resonance.
It seemed to be a familiar language, and it seemed like countless people were chanting a name together. That name is:
"Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun".
As the second largest city in Intis, the city of Tdelis, located on the coast of the Sea, is the main trading window to Vrsack and Rune, and is a financial capital.
A few months ago, under the joint promotion of Fanny Sarry, the "Holy Lady of Toulon", and Elaine Solon, the "Witch of Cinema", and with the positive response of Empress Vera of Rune and Empress Sophia II of Vrsac, Intis, Ferneport, Lenburg and other countries finally concluded a series of international conventions on the protection of civilians and war victims here, collectively known as the "Convention of the City of Delis".
This has also made the already internationally renowned city of Tdelis even more famous.
Coupled with the fact that it is far away from the battlefield and peaceful, it has attracted a lot of funds from Rune in recent times, and it seems to be more and more prosperous.
At this time, in the castle of Matilda, on the outskirts of the main town of Tilis, Abner was talking with the visiting guests in the living room.
It is worth mentioning that due to the large number of castles in the territory, Tdelis is also known as the "City of a Thousand Castles".
These castles were originally built by the feudal lords over a period of more than a thousand years to defend against the invasion of the Fursaks, but since the invention of the powerful cannon by Russell, they have lost their original purpose and are now used more as "holiday estates" or "tourist attractions".
The "Fort Matilda" is said to have been built more than 100 years ago by Russell the Great to commemorate his wife.
After the fall of the Gustavian dynasty, the castle changed hands several times before it was recently bought by a company controlled by Abner for a large price, and became the property of one of his false identities.
Abner, who was sitting on the sofa in the living room, glanced at the thirty-year-old man opposite
Next, the handsome-looking black-haired man smiled and said, "Thales, long time no see.... Now that the war between Fenerport and Lenburg is so fierce, you haven't gone back yet?"
The person who came to visit Abner at Fort Matilda was none other than Thales Reynold, a tutor at the University of Lemburg, a senior deacon of the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom, a former false leader of the Secret Order, and a succubus patriarch of the Belial family.
The reason why it is said to be the high-level of the "Esoteric Order" is that after nearly a year of slow "combing", except for Devany and Thales, as well as a few saints who still have saving value, have been sent to the "Meritorious Forest" for transformation, the rest of the demigods have been herded one after another, or have become "secret puppets".
- "Meritlin" refers to the lord's mansion of the Seville territory that Alvin obtained from Fenerport, and the demigods and some of the extraordinary people in the "Esoteric Order" are treated similarly to Berdan's maids, who "redeem" themselves by contributing their labor to build the territory.
It wasn't that no member of the "Esoteric Order" noticed that something was wrong, but Abner made Thales play the role of the organizer of the "rebellion" against Zarathu, and the result was naturally all out of them, and all the traits were dedicated to Daphne's newly cultivated members of good character.
At this point, there is no need for Thales to continue to "go undercover", and it is long past time to return to Lemburg to defend against the invasion.
Hearing Abner's question, Thales smiled and replied as he cut the cap of the cigar in his hand, "I'll be back in Lemberg soon...... However, I have been given a new assignment to visit you, the future 'leader'."
"New mission? Leadership?" Abner's heart moved, and he immediately got the answer, "I see, you will replace the 'rage' in the council of the Psychological Alchemy Council and preside over the affairs related to Eshara, the capital of Lenburg?"
Is this an addiction when an undercover agent?
As if to guess what Abner didn't say, Thales struck a match and warmed up the cigar before sighing and saying, "No way, the reward for this mission is an extraordinary Sequence 3 characteristic, which is very tempting for me."
Abner pondered for a few seconds when he heard this, and then asked directly, "The original 'rage' was Hermes?"
"Yes..... A doppelganger of His personality, to be exact." Thales took a puff on his cigar and said without concealment, "I know what you want to ask, but I only know that the old gentleman is close to the Lord, and I don't know anything more."
Hermes and Ergolong had a close relationship.... Could it be that the cooperation between Lao Huang and Erwulong was the thread he pulled?
Yes, although the "I" of Rhine and Vicente also crossed paths with Hermes, but the friendship was not deep, but he showed that he knew me very well....
So even if He is not a man of the two or five dragons, he is Adam's...... But combined with the original book, the former may be even greater.
"I see...... I roughly understand." Abner nodded, he glanced at Thales, and felt that as a "prophet", it should not be a big problem for him to temporarily simulate as a "manipulator", so he spoke, "I will take the initiative to contact you before the next meeting of the Supreme Council.
"You've got the 'rage' mask, right?"
"Of course, I got it." Thales pulls out an illusory mask with wide eyes and a gaping mouth, as if ready to roar at any moment.
He showed it and immediately put it away, not wearing it on his face.
After that, the two had a discussion about the future development direction of the "Psychological Alchemy Society", and Thales got up to leave. According to his own words, he was going to say goodbye to Intis's "friends".
After he left, Abner looked at the "Esoteric Order" elder badge left by Thales, and sighed slightly:
"Adam isn't Adam, and Erhehog isn't Erethhog..... Is Hermes really still Hermes?
"Maybe in the Second Age, in the Third and Fourth Ages, even just over a year ago..... But now, it's not necessarily!"
After silently drinking a cup of black tea, Abner walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and looked in the direction of the city of Tilis, where he was
There is an alternative "murder" staged.
......
Outside St. Charles's Cathedral, "Jealous" Horace Clifford, who is one of the giants of the "Coverers", leads his team to a certain street in the lower city.
Previously, members of the "Purifying Light" had discovered traces of the "Aurora Society" Sage there, so the Templar ordered Horace to lead a team to investigate.
Just as the group had just arrived in the lower part of the city and stepped out of the carriage, a homeless man suddenly rushed in front of Horace and begged for alms.
Seeing this, Horace frowned.
If it was usual, he didn't mind performing his "mercy" in front of his subordinates, but I don't know why, he was in a pretty bad mood today, and he always felt that something was going to happen, so he was so upset that he pushed the other party out directly and fell on the side of the road.
But the homeless man didn't show the slightest pain, but raised his head and smiled at him, and whispered, "You're dead!"
After saying that, his figure dissipated directly and disappeared completely.
"I'm dead?" Horeston was alert, but before he could figure out the situation, his body suddenly changed, and in an instant, he completely lost control and turned into a monster, without giving him any time to save himself.
"This ..... What's going on? "In the last moments before his consciousness dissipated, there seemed to be some more content in his memory, and in those 'contents', he encountered a rather terrible lady and was killed by him after a fierce battle.
At the same time, in a "low-dimensional world" that has just been separated from the real timeline, Gadelia, who has been relieved of the "ugly duckling" state, looks at Horace, who has turned into a monster not far away, and immediately returns to the "Memory Theater" after receiving a prompt that the mission has been completed, ready to receive the reward.
And Abner, who was in the "Pale Queen" dormitory, rubbed his forehead tiredly, and said to himself: "Although the "information coverage" is easy to use, it consumes .....
I can now use it at most to modify the "state of life and death" at level 4 of the sequence.... No matter how high it is, the price to pay is too great.
