Chapter 147: A New Plan
392
"The Black Sage led by the Aurora Society this time has completely lost contact, and there has been no news from the other pilgrims since two weeks......
"If you were to find him, who would you send?"
Edward, who was confined in a sense, was quite calm, and they still maintained a link of consciousness and shared information with each other, so they were able to get this part of the news from the Aurora Society very smoothly.
"It's been three months, and the Angel of the Word must have gone through the entire Godforsaken Land, right? Ulorius will definitely be detected during the second screening...... The speaker of the School of Life has a chance to breathe, and he doesn't know what the situation is now. β
Edward thought with interest as he flipped through the paper.
Although he was in the wilderness, and occasionally the wild abyssal scrolls would come to the door, Edward's "keeping humanity" certainly would not let the living conditions deteriorate, and the small tent was still a four-story building where Beckland had lived for decades. Staying in your own home every day and going out for a walk twice at a fixed time is better than going to jail.
It's a pity that there are no living creatures in the abyss now, otherwise, it would be better if I could often go down and hunt a few demons and fight tooth sacrifices.
"If you really want to go to the sea to find the Black Sage, I'm afraid you will have to send at least one Sage."
"The Dark Sage is definitely not going to work, he has already taken root in Beckland. Medici is also impossible, her appearance means that strife will arise, and if there is anything wrong with the disappearance of the Black Sage, Medici will definitely be easily discovered if he goes to save people. β
"Bring in wandering Sages from somewhere else? This may be chosen by the true Creator, every saint has walked the pilgrimage path, and if you follow the search, you will soon find out, and there is no need for the true Creator to worry about it at all. β
Edward sighed, added a few ice cubes to the orange juice in his hand, and shook it from side to side.
"It seems that the probability that I will take the opportunity to 'help' and use this to infiltrate the Godforsaken Land is a bit low."
"What other way can you get in naturally than to kill the rational doppelganger of the true Creator and sacrifice it?"
One god goes to the kingdom of another god is somewhat overstepped, either an invasion or a close friend, and I am afraid that I will never be able to produce such a "trust" as an ally who is purely in harmony with the true Creator. So find an opportunity to make a deal...... No, if one of the contents of the agreement is to go to the other party's kingdom, then the true creator will certainly not agree, and will further seal the forsaken land and explore the purpose of his own visit.
It's a bit of a problem, but if he hadn't said those words to Richard Ernst at the time, he might have taken his stride in Godforsaken land by now. But - the things you like want to use your life to complete a spectacular self-destruction, so it is also God's nature to change your mind.
After a few sips of chilled orange juice, Edward stopped thinking about Godforsaken for a moment.
She turned to think about the Southern Continent, and the two young men who stood out in that prayer were very good, they proved their worth in their own way, and maybe there was a chance to go from a one-time consumable to a long-term believer.
"Got the attention of the Spirit Order......"
She scribbled through the prayers and realized that Miss Mad and Mr. Serial Killer had fled all the way south, killing local foreigners several times along the way. That's right, unless it's a child who doesn't remember, the slightest bit of oppression of the natives will be killed, men, women, and children. The once oppressed weak, after gaining strength, is madly taking revenge on the people of the Northern Continent.
Judging by the follow-up returns, their actions not only attracted the attention of the governors of the Northern Continent, causing panic, but also the attention of the indulgents. Two days earlier, they had initially had some ragged followers, but the followers were not conducive to their guerrilla warfare, so they refused to accept them, and a day earlier, they had already made contact with the Indulgences of Siea - perhaps they would choose to join the Indulgences? - Well, they refused, on the grounds that the object of their prayers was not His Highness Seaa...... It's hard to say, isn't it?
After all, the Mother Tree of Desire is also considered to be the vest of the bound god, and Siea is also the rightful son of God, since you are prisoners and demons who are guided by God to "indulge in malice and take revenge", then why is it not Siea and the Great Mother Tree who guide you? Perhaps the mysterious name you are praying for is just a layer of identity that has been passed down from His Highness Siea.
The members of the indulgence faction had a point, and the two young men were really a little moved.
S'ea, the Pale Empress, the Spirit Order, and the Rose School, these are the four names that are quite attractive to people like them. As a native inhabitant of the Southern Continent, a complete indigenous, there is no one who does not want to take revenge on the Northern Continent.
Being a slave is not terrible, but if you find joy and a sense of accomplishment in being a slave, and regard being a slave as a kind of happiness, it is truly terrible.
They mentioned this in their prayers, and asked Edward about his identity more cryptically, but Edward did not reply in this regard, but acquiesced in allowing them to continue to contact the cult forces in the Southern Continent.
In addition to listening to the real Creator talking to oneself, he could only listen to prayers to pass the time, so the number of responses this week was already more than in previous years combined. If those two believers were a little more daring, they could call themselves the Divine Scrollers.
"Maybe I should find a chance to go to sea...... Edward said to himself, "this time just walk along the coastline of the Forsaken Lands, and you will always find the 'entrance', right?" β
It's the dumbest and most useful method, but it's so strange for a demon to find the Godforsaken and sail along the coastline. The abyss is on the outside, and demons shouldn't be interested in Godforsaken Lands.
β It's always been this way before, but now it's a little broken.
She finished her orange juice and stood up to wash her glass.
The window in the living room was open, and outside was a starry night sky.
She walked to the door and pushed it open, and outside the door it was ten o'clock in the morning, and the sun was listlessly radiating heat and light.
Edward closed the window and closed the curtains, not wanting to take another look at the annoying night sky.
"Damn." She said something in her mind, "It's just disgusting, it actually violates a demon's right to freedom from the demon body!" Do you want me to suffocate here because I can't go out and kill people? β
"In this cold and unforgiving world, only Frank can bring me a little comfort."
Edward sat back on the couch and began to think along with the thoughts.
"Actually, if it's really just a walk along the coastline of the Godforsaken Lands, I'd better change identities."
What kind of person can sail the seas for many years without feeling strange?
She immediately thought of answering:
Navigators, or pirates!
"Secondly, I need a boat."
The moment this idea was born, Edward suddenly had an idea:
At that time when Russell opened up a new shipping route in the southern continent, the entire northern continent opened the Age of Discovery, and countless people dreamed of sailing on the sea like Russell, discovering new routes and new islands, so as to go down in history.
More than half of them were shipwrecked in unfamiliar waters, and the rest were lucky enough to find a few small islands or make it home.
Of course, every ship that goes to sea needs to be reported, and one of them has chosen an interesting direction. - The Circle of Ground has appeared, and the captain thinks that "since most of the ships are going east, I might as well go to the west and see if I can meet anything".
Theoretically, with enough luck, he could come across the legendary Western Continent.
However, the abyss is also hidden somewhere in the far reaches of the seas to the west.
Edward watched it sail with the eyes of a farewell warrior, and it was completely destroyed. Then, decades later, something amazing happened, and the legend of it suddenly appeared on the sea, and some sailors saw it on the sea, saying that it became a ghost ship, and all the crew members died, and countless bones hung on the ship, and blood was deeply carved into the planks of the hull.
It is always seen in bloody places, and the whaling ships of the Vorsack Empire have witnessed it a little higher here. In the waters after a large-scale naval battle, it is said that this blood-colored ship with bones will occasionally appear.
"'Christine', 'Silent Slaughterhouse'...... Hmm, isn't its current name 'Death Number'? β
393
Changing identities ready to go? The king of decay replied to himself, and he was approved.
The four kings and seven generals of the pirates...... The one who controls the "Death Call" is the "Immortal King" Agaritu.
Since he dares to claim to be immortal, it should be a powerful means of regeneration, or it is related to the dead like a corpse, and the "Death Call" itself is a seal that returns from the abyss, and from the rumors that it has always been rumored, there should be a certain degree of wisdom, and the "Immortal King" is either strong enough to suppress it, or has reached an agreement.
Judging from the fact that "the strength of the immortal king is at the bottom of the four kings", it should belong to the latter.
I hadn't paid much attention to this ship before, so I didn't know if it was a demonic legacy that had obtained a few sequences...... It doesn't matter, as long as it works.
Who goes?
'There you go. β
Really.
At first glance, it seems that the toy that he has descended has become the main body, but in fact, the real self has always been "Edward Vaughn", but he picked up the toy with a little bit of energy, and carried out remote control and intelligence gathering.
It is most convenient to use this toy to go to sea, descend on the power, take out the "Immortal King", replace him with a new identity, or continue to play him. After using the new identity of the golden cicada to break out of the shell, the confinement of the night is equivalent to non-existence.
Once you've decided on your goals, it's only time to get your hands dirty. Both sides agreed that the sooner the better, and that it was best to hurry up and get going.
Is this something to tell the true Creator? β
Just mention it, there's no need to tell her our purpose - after all, we've sworn by each other in essentia, and it's certainly not deliberate destruction.
The plan was finalized, and the King of Decay immediately got up and went to inform the true Creator before today's afternoon tea began. The True Creator was sorting out the information of the Aurora Society in his office, and he was not surprised to hear this notice, but asked with some vigilance:
"Your destination is the sea?"
"If you're going to fight Fabuti, I'll stop you. Your strength is also a hazard to the planet. β
The Declining King shook his head, "It's different, ally. Under the premise of my current neutrality, there is a strong force that can ensure that our agreement goes smoothly and will not be hindered by others. I've always kept my promises. β
The True Creator sharply stated: "I believe that you will keep your promises, because you just need to keep your promises and wait and see what happens." β
"-In short, as an ally, I won't be overly defensive of you, but I'll also be serious about the Abyss and the Bound God. I will stop you in any way I can, such as indirectly, quietly, and amicably games that will not deteriorate our relationship. β
"Of course, I'll enjoy the games."
The Decaying King was not surprised, he had long expected these words, and even had some expectations: "I have always looked forward to fighting, the earth is too peaceful, and it feels like it is going to rust." However, there is one situation that you should also expect. β
"That's when the Seven Gods attacked me. I will fight back, immediately, and I will do it to whoever threatens my life. And you don't have to get involved. β
"As one of the gods of the earth, I must admit that they are too comfortable, and I look forward to you teaching them some lessons." The True Creator said against his will, and then added, "Have you ever heard of Amun's current situation?" β
The King of Decay asked, "Is this a special reference?" β
"Yes, specifically." The True Creator said, "The one you have cultivated." β
The outer god recalled: "I deliberately didn't help him, and he succeeded?" β
The expression of the real Creator was somewhat complicated, as if he was re-considering his words, thinking about how to say, "He succeeded. Unable to wait for your help, he made his own plans, found a critical opportunity on his own, and with a little support from Medici, heβhe managed to kill his target and take his place. β
This matter seems to be a little difficult for the real creator to talk about, after all, he doesn't know how many sons killed another unknown number of sons, and there is also the help of his own right-hand men. Although she watched the whole process and acquiesced in this strange murder, the incident itself was indeed a bit stimulating for an old father who was self-aware of human beings, and her facial expression was very exciting, as if she was still scolding the outer gods for bringing the child to life.
The Outer God was very satisfied with Amun's actions, so the Outer God decided to reluctantly comfort his old father, who was in a complicated mood.
"Amon anchors himself in a much similar way to us."
The researcher barely lifted his eyelids.
The Outer God seduces: "You are her father, but do you understand the existence and characteristics of such a mythical creature as Amun?" Do you think they anchor themselves through their memories, their behavior, or their own image? β
"It's supposed to be both." The True Creator said, "With memory, she can confirm her identity." β
The King of Decay shook his head.
"You're wrong. You treat Amon as an individual. β
"You have a stereotype that you only think of Amon as the real Amon, your child. Perhaps this is true from a physiological point of view and from a human point of view, but Amun is actually a whole. If you think about it, Amon's memories are basically shared, and when the doppelganger dies, the body can feel the same pain. And, if the main body dies, there will immediately be a clone on top and become a new main body, right? β
Amon's personality is not obvious, and even the clones will have their own preferences, but their physical characteristics are obvious: monocles. Or add to that wizard robes, a wide forehead, and slightly curly black hair.
These elements are far more intuitive than the others, and when they come together, there is only one answer: this is Amun!
"And in the process of upgrading, there will inevitably be some loss of memory, but Amon is still Amon, even if she forgets her father and her identity one day, they are still Amon."
"Your statement is also a bit imprecise."
The true creator threw out his own opinion to prove that his creator (the Son) was the same: "In the forsaken land, Amun will steal the lights of the town that converts to me, because he sees this act as a betrayal of the ancient sun god." It can be seen that memory is still important in their hearts. β
At the thought of those cities that were engulfed in darkness in an instant, the True Creator sincerely felt sorry for his followers.
"Her love for her father only belongs to the ancient sun god, and beyond that, even if she is a believer, a companion, or a comrade-in-arms, she can't get it." The outer god said, "Will she take this behavior as human?" Will you? β
The True Creator hesitated: "Yes." β
"I see, this may also be a manifestation of human nature."
The outer god accepted it, and she didn't know or care what human nature was anyway. Not casually criticizing her god's preferences is a divine virtue, and a quarrel can easily turn into a fight for the dead.
After saying that, she said goodbye to the real creator who was still entangled, and prepared to go to the sea to hunt her target in the near future.
"The Immortal King" Agaritu, and the "Death Call".
