CHAPTER XXIV
78
"Beckron is dead? Died in Rune and was assassinated by the Aurora Society? ”
In Intis, on the outskirts of Trier, in a nobleman's estate, an old butler with mottled blond hair is reporting to his master. The other party was a young man who looked to be less than thirty, with sharp eyebrows and eyes, and the red hair and turquoise eyes of the former royal family of Sauron. But the hair color is too dark as red, and it is more reddish-brown in the shade, and it is obviously not a descendant.
"Dead is dead, just an ambassador, did you get the manuscript of the second-generation difference machine that the intelligence department wanted?"
"No, it even betrays our purpose." The old butler half-bowed and replied respectfully, "Ambassador, no, the former ambassador's mission has failed successfully, and the family members in the intelligence department are discussing countermeasures, and finally they have decided to leave this matter to you to deal with. ”
“…… If you want to die, you will minimize the loss, it is really a waste that is still causing trouble to people when you die. ”
The young man snorted: "Rune's side will give an official explanation, they will investigate on their own, our people just need to be pretentious, and it is a waste of time to avenge him." This is also going to be pushed to me, the old men of the family still haven't got back the courage that was scared by their father back then? ”
"The hereditary title has been stripped away, and most of the family property and manor have been given away by me, and I have no plans to marry a wife and have children to stimulate them for so many years, what do these guys want to squeeze out of me?"
"Lord Trainor, be careful." The old butler reminded, "The archbishop of the Church of the Eternal Sun wants you to go in the afternoon, because of this matter. ”
“…… The church is looking for me, and it wants me to make a statement? No, wouldn't it be that even a trivial matter like the ambassador being assassinated by the Aurora Assassin would rise to the grudge of the year? Trenor frowned in displeasure, but reopened after a few seconds, "Well, isn't the archbishop trying to renovate the church's sculptures and organ lately, and to bring away the gold, spices, and precious stones he received from Byron." Open the joints first, lest the family take this opportunity to embarrass me. The things that can be spent with money are small things, and my biggest bargaining chip is the seat in the council, so I can't lose it. ”
"I am the War Bishop of House Sauron, not a family of demons, and the Archbishop and the Church just want to hear me say so. I won't care about this matter, and when the time comes, I will find a stunned young man to investigate and deal with the past. ”
"Okay." The old butler said, "Lord Ernst sent a secret message last night in the hope of obtaining some winter supplies. ”
"Winter? That guy needs material assistance all year round. Trainor waved his hand and turned to look out at the garden outside the floor-to-ceiling window, "According to the practice of previous years, when importing cotton from Vrsack through the purchase channel, the price should be kept as low as possible, and the insufficient amount should be made up from the plantation." ”
"That's it, help me deliver the post to the archbishop, since you want me to express my position, I'll be more positive, and I'll visit this afternoon."
"Yes. Then I'll help you push off the afternoon hunt and the evening dance invitation. The butler said, "Miss Elaine made an appointment to meet you two weeks ago, and at two o'clock this afternoon, will she also be dismissed?" ”
"Elaine? …… Ah, it's her. I remember that she was one of the more unpopular members of the family, and was about to inherit the family business and go into business. Trenor recalled the clever relative, "There are not many children who can shout at my great-great-grandfather in the face of me when we meet for the first time, and for the sake of the same sideline, I have also given her a lot of investment in the early stage." Push it away and lend her my amulet, she needs safety more than shhh ”
"Yes. I'll send someone to inform Miss Elaine. ”
"Nothing else." Trenor said, "Go ahead and arrange it." ”

On Monday, the hiring of Miss Bodyguard ended. Klein, who had lived a difficult time during this time, regained his freedom and relaxation.
Through Rosago's relics, the "world" dummy has been successfully deployed. At the beginning of the tarot meeting, several old members who saw new people joining were clearly emotional. Miss "Justice" was a little curious, and analyzed the personality traits of the new member with the state of the audience, Mr. "Sun" did not react much, just looked at it twice more and then withdrew his gaze, while Mr. "Hanged Man" showed nervousness and defensiveness in his body movements, he was observing and guessing the newcomer's ability, testing whether it would affect him......
Klein basked slightly, first released the simple task "Finding Laneus", and then manipulated the dummy "world" to speak:
"Mr. 'Fool' told me that I could issue a mission and collect materials here, is that so?"
"Yes." "But you have to be patient, and then it's time for Mr. Fool to read." ”
The "Fool" seemed to laugh incomprehensibly, and Mr. "The Hanging Man", who had been secretly observing, noticed that the god above cast his gaze, and hurriedly bowed humbly, and said, "This time it is still a six-page diary, and the last page of the remaining page will be given to you next time." ”
Klein took the other party's figurative six-page diary and looked down:
"On the 9th of February, I had my third child, whom I named Bonova. I gave him the traits equivalent of Sequence 5 Extraordinary, which lightened my burden, allowed me to digest potions faster, and accelerated his promotion, and he was already an 'Astral Sorcer' who could display all kinds of peculiarities when he was born."
"Zarathu visited me secretly, and I asked Him about the future of the children, but He would not say a word! Really, soothsayers are always so difficult to understand, I really want to pry open their mouths and ask for clarification! ”
“…… I have a hard time believing that Bernadette, who is lovely, kind, loves my brother, adores my father, and feels sorry for my mother, will hate me, hate me, and turn my back on me in the future? No, Zarathu was not a prophet, and his divination could not be fully believed, so forget it, Russell! ”
“……”
It seems to have a bit of a bloody family theater flavor...... Klein complained while pondering the information, and turned the page thoughtfully:
"On the 22nd of May, Florent of House Sauron wanted me to be his subordinate! His attitude is simply unacceptable, and I swear that in the future I will make him pay for what he has done today. ”
"Still, some of the things he mentioned were really interesting."
"The Sauron family has a history of more than 2,000 years, predating the birth of the Church of Artisans. The long history has given them not only arrogance, but also a lot of secrets and seals, what a behemoth that people dare not look at directly. ”
With some curses and reflections from Russell about the Sauron family and Florent, Crane happily flipped back.
"On August 11, Florent's fool was showing off again."
He said he was the most promising person of the Sauron generation to achieve the High Order, as he resembled his great-great-grandfather. Is there any necessary connection between this? I looked up and down, left and right, and I couldn't see where this guy had talent. What's more, in the extraordinary field, does talent matter? ”
"I am happier to be a fellow countryman, he has been taken by a young lady of the Sauron family, and he has a headache and does not know what to do. But that young lady only has Sequence 6, and the Sauron family actually acquiesced to her behavior, could it be that she thought that she could win me over through her fellow countrymen? ”
"Haha! Let's eat it if you want to fart! ”
"However, the main obstacle to the high sequence is the difficulty of obtaining extraordinary materials and the trouble of corresponding rituals, of course, it must be admitted that the kind of innate extraordinary person has more time to prepare."
"Florent's great-great-grandfather was a high-ranking powerhouse? Does being like him mean talented? ”
It seems that Russell the Great was quite young when he wrote these diaries, but I can roughly understand what Florent meant by "talented...... Klein nodded slightly. If this part of the content still makes him feel relaxed, then the hidden information in the diary later shocks him. Sequence 0 above 1, where the true god is located, contains 22 paths of blasphemous solitaire, the path to godhood...... Each of them is unbelievable information that can change the pattern of the extraordinary world, and astonishing news that can shake the indestructible system of the Church.
So, when Russell the Great regretted not choosing "soothsayer", "thief", and "apprentice", it was because the true god of these three paths had not yet been born? Russell's plan is bigger than I thought......
By the time he had read all of his diaries, Klein the Fool calmed down a little and manipulated the "world" into free trade and discussion.

Edward sat on a bench in the middle of the street, holding a newspaper in his hand, seemingly serious but in a daze reading the latest information.
The first is the establishment of the Air Pollution Commission, and the Kingdom of Rune finally began to pay attention to environmental pollution, but it is unknown how much of a role this committee composed of members of the lower parliament, some nobles, anthracite merchants, and people with a certain amount of social influence can play. The second is about the recent serial murder case, the victims are still in the single digits, and the police and the church have no clue, but the purpose of the other party's undisguised murder can be clearly seen to cause social panic.
This part of Edward paid a little attention to, as the police and the church were clearly not as good as the Extraordinary Feature Aggregation.
The third thing was that the kingdom was preparing to pass the government employee examination, and the newspapers and newspapers of all the time were building up for it, and even Richard Ernst wrote a special text message - sacrifice, sending letters cost money and wasting time - gladly mentioning this "for the benefit of people". Because some of the young people in the foundation who have achieved good grades and received education finally have another path to choose from, and may have the opportunity to cross classes and have a better life and future.
Edward struck him with a succinct response: "Why did the king rush to come up with a policy, is that all you see?" ”
Richard replied sincerely: "Even if the big guys do these things just for themselves, it's a great thing for people." ”
All right. The demon and the outer god thought to himself, too lazy to hit the other party further. The human mind is not easy to understand, and this purely human mind is even more difficult to understand. A little favor can make Him feel satisfied, and after all this time, He is still as simple and easy to pass as before.
It's been more than half a month since the Divine Descent Incident, and the eyeliners in the Aurora Society should have passed back the information that was deliberately revealed. The allies went back to check on the situation in the past two days to see if it was a good time to return, and by the way, communicate with the ontology, and gradually transition the force back to Sequence 7. The affairs of the Aurora Society probably don't have to worry about it anymore, and Edward is happy to be free.
It was noon, and there was no one on the street or in the park. He took a sip of the drink he had packed from the coffee shop and suddenly heard a distinctive, familiar prayer ringing in his ears.
- The difference is that this points to the "King of Decay".
"Russell?" The former Earl of Intis said to himself, "Harassing me again? It seems that He is in good spirits today. ”
He answered the "call." A dark, deep, dilapidated scene looms in front of you, and the interior of a huge building looms over. He saw a dark figure sitting upright on the throne, and the emperor had an irregular stone tablet at his hand, covered with distorted shadows and words. His body was covered with red fissures, repeatedly torn and closed like eyes or moon phases, and light cyan branches pierced through the dark shadows to bind Him to the throne. The shadow looked dying and shattered, but despite this, He was staring at the other side of the world with cold and majestic eyes.
- The one-of-a-kind "Black Emperor" Russell Gustaf!
The moment their eyes met, a voice with a strong sense of hatred was directly shoved into Edward's mind, and unlike babbling, it was a mad curse from the extreme emotions of a true god!
"Mad angels, cold-blooded demons!"
Edward did not resist, and the container's instinctive self-defense was crushed in an instant. Bang! Half of His head burst open on the spot, and cracked veins and shattered eyes flew to each other. Blood splattered several meters, and the flowers and plants stained with the blood of angels immediately mutated into evil and terrifying. After a few seconds, the veins that had boiled to the point of almost exploding due to the Black Emperor's malicious spirituality calmed down, and the whispers of resentment echoing in Edward's mind completely subsided.
"My native kingdom has had a tradition of martyrdom with loyal subjects since ancient times, my dearest executioner, when will you come to the grave with me?"
The flesh squirmed, and he didn't rush to repair himself, not even letting go or clenching his grip on the newspaper.
"Can't we have a relationship that allows you to greet me in a softer way?" The Abyssal Angel picked up the glasses that had fallen at his feet, wiped the blood on the flat lenses, and placed it on the bridge of his nose, which was less than half of the flesh and blood remaining, and smiled at the black emperor who was still staring at him with a cold and implicit crazy gaze, and used the only half of his head to reveal a neat white Sensen's teeth.
"I love it." The vessel of the King of Decay said, "Thank you." ”
