Chapter 188: Preparation

467

After a brief conversation, the doors of the monastery were closed, and Leomaste and the pilgrims, who were probably still alive, returned to their penance and "trials".

A Sage is also crucial in the current situation, I don't know when Aurora will get their news, will it have to wait until this is over?

Agaritu took one last look at the black monastery, which almost blended into the gray sky, and walked around quickly from the left with a lamp.

Anderson, who had regained some strength and had also been treated with medicine and bandages, hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and followed.

He has to get out of here and stay to save his life, but he will inevitably become a true Creator fanatic who only knows how to pray and praise, and the only possibility of leaving here now is to follow the "Immortal King".

"He reacted when he heard that I was a member of the Predator Cross...... His conversation with the Aurora Sage was also normal, and although it was strange, there was no hostility. Anderson made a bold guess and made a desperate bet, "Perhaps, he wouldn't mind having one more person on the 'Death Number'......"

"But in that case, how am I going to escape?"

The two kept a short distance, silently bypassing the Black Monastery and heading east.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, when he took the next step, Agaritu's movements suddenly stopped, and the foot hung in the air, slowly retracted.

The lightning stopped, and ahead of them was a black fog that was indistinguishable from the surroundings.

He held the lamp high and threw it forward with all his might.

The oil lamp took off his hand, and darkness rushed in from all directions, and Anderson subconsciously took a step forward, only to see the oil lamp draw a parabola, illuminating what was in front of the two.

It's a black fog that doesn't stretch as far as the eye can see!

As undulating as the sea, silver lightning and flames flashed from time to time in the endless black mist, but these were so faint that they were almost negligible, and could only be seen by the light.

It resembles the sea of flames in the previous mural.

The lamp was swallowed up by the black mist in an instant, and when I listened attentively, there was no landing saint or even the sound of the wind.

"There should be sea water down here...... Or land. Agaritu thought silently, "This is the 'cliff' in the dream world. ”

Is this the Eastern Continent behind this?

It's close, but it's impossible to get there, not even with a "death call".

If nothing else, such a black fog should cover the entire coastline of the Eastern Continent, at least most of it. You can't get in without a special way, and you can't even get close.

That key is the best option.

If you really enter this black fog, what will definitely happen is that the world will evaporate, and then you will be left to the night.

The best possibility is to appear in the hidden town and go to have afternoon tea with Zarathu, but it is possible that a demigod himself will not see Zarathu and be hung on the roof. The worst possible is to appear directly in the sealing room of a dark night church, be arrested and imprisoned and withdraw the bounty in one go, and give the church a year-end performance, or open your eyes and there is an angel of the night smiling at you on the other side.

Although the current self is indeed an extraordinary trait that will not die and a high-level spiritual carrier, there is no need to waste this identity.

"Write down this route, and she may use it later......"

After completing the file transfer, he was ready to return the same way, there was no point in staying here, just go back to the "Death Number", leave, and then follow her orders to go in other directions to find out if there were any gaps or gaps in the black fog.

Anderson stood behind, craned his neck to look at the black sea of fog for a moment, surprised, but didn't intend to think about it.

From its current location, you can still see the faint light of the monastery window, and it is not completely dark. The only place on this island that is technically safe is the building where the monastery is located, and the darkness of the rest of the place is more or less dangerous.

He pulled out a fire raven, surrounded him, and quickly followed Agarithu, who had turned back.

"Are you going to go back?"

"Do you mind if you have one more deck-scrubbing handyman on the esteemed Death'?"

He defined himself as a "miscellaneous servant" to prevent the captain from suddenly turning back and killing people to take his own characteristics.

Agaritu didn't answer, and suddenly he stepped on the air and leaned straight over.

But his reaction was very quick, and in the blink of an eye, he twisted his body, lowered his center of gravity, and regained his balance. After standing firmly, he was very surprised that there was an inconspicuous crack under his feet, and he had just stepped into the crack and almost fell.

How can a demigod almost fall because he didn't stand still?

That's impossible!

Unless there is an extraordinary force to influence it......

There is only the Black Sage on this island, when has he been affected by extraordinary power?

At that moment, there was a sudden muffled sound behind him, followed by the sound of him falling to the ground.

He suddenly turned his head to look at Anderson, only to see that Anderson had knocked down a broken pillar and sat on the ground, slowly getting up.

"That's bad luck." Anderson smiled, "It's too dark to pay attention to your step." ”

"......" Agaritu looked at Anderson without blinking, and after looking at the other party timidly, he suddenly spoke.

"I'll allow you to get on board."

The inexplicable changes involved the ancient sun god and her angels, and Agaritu suddenly felt a little vigilant and uneasy, could there be an Adam who quietly followed the whole process somewhere in the "Death Call".

Early in the morning, Crane went to the Charity Hospital to continue his volunteer activities and look for possible opportunities to play in the hospital, but he also did not mind giving some care to the patients who had no family to care for them.

Due to his lack of consideration, he frightened the staff by using the face of "Gelman Sparrow" to volunteer, and he specially designed a new identity "Sinbad Warrent" for this purpose.

It was still some distance from the charity hospital, and Crane was just about to go to the roadside shop to settle breakfast, when suddenly his spiritual instinct moved and he looked at a corner on the side of the road.

He saw a woman in an off-white shirt and a long brown skirt standing sideways in the corner, talking to a person opposite.

Crane analyzed it with the Faceling's abilities and found that their body language showed impatience and confusion, as if they were in trouble, causing the atmosphere between the two to be somewhat tense and even intense.

The lady's skirt had a distinctly Intisian style, with a ruffled skirt and a wide-sleeved blouse with bow ribbons, reminiscent of the dresses of the ladies on the ruined Black Death. Across from her seemed to be a tall man, but between the words, Crane always felt that the man's tone and movements were very restrained, and even a little intimidating.

This phenomenon made him a little curious, and after thinking about it, he quietly turned on his spiritual vision for a second, and his eyes widened slightly.

This woman has a bright and restrained spiritual brilliance, showing a golden glow like the sun, and judging from the stability of the spiritual brilliance, this is a mid-sequence extraordinary person in a good mental state!

There was a momentary pause in the lady's words, as if she had noticed a flash of prying eyes.

But she didn't look away, and Crane went inside the store to buy food.

Undoubtedly, that is characteristic of the "sun" pathway! Darek's astral spirit on the gray mist also had this glow, but it was much darker than the lady...... The powerhouse of the "Sun" path from Intis? A member of the Church of the Eternal Sun?

It is also possible that the Wild Extraordinaire came to other countries, but it is unlikely that Intis will be like the Medium and High Rank Wild Extraordinaire of the two pathways of "Sailor" and "Night Watchman" in Rune......

Crane thought about it for a moment, but didn't take it to heart, and by the time he had finished buying the pie and came out, the lady and the man she was talking to had already left.

……

"Urorius's frescoes are suspected to have a curse?"

"Is it deadly? Don't worry if it's not deadly yet, keep an eye on that hunter and see what my dear ally wants to do with his own followers through Ulorius. ”

"Found a way, yes, yes, if things in Ulorius drag on, and I encounter danger in the process, I will go to the Godforsaken Lands through this road, you have done well, keep trying."

"Me...... Well, the recent vacation was very enjoyable and would love to go on like this forever. ”

With that, Edward Vaughn ended the correspondence.

"I found the money and livestock that the Black Sage had with him when he left, and then made guesses, influencing the crew in the process, exerting pressure, creating confusion and preventing them from making the right judgment...... Well done, worthy of being a part of me. ”

The surrounding furniture is neatly cleaned, and the sunlight shines through the half-hidden curtains, making it look peaceful and peaceful.

Then, there was a loud explosion that rattled the windows and shook the liquid level of the coffee on the table violently from side to side.

Edward reached out and picked up the coffee cup, feeling the violent shaking gradually subside after more than ten seconds.

She admired the smoke rising from the window, and she was in a very comfortable mood.

The four surrounding cities, including the one he lives in, are already in chaos.

The new governor is here, but his subordinates except for a few school officials have all become the body parts of the "faceless puppet", the little wooden man is now more and more vivid, although controlling humans can not increase intelligence, but after controlling so many people, they can get various skills from their memories, and the experience of dealing with almost all situations, which makes the "faceless puppet" play and manipulation more and more proficient.

In doing so, the "Shameless Dolls" provoked hostile people in Aldra to the Order and the Restoration.

Rune's imaginary arrival of a new governor to counterbalance Thea Eggers did not materialize, and at the same time, the situation that Thea Eggers expected of the governor to make a mistake in decision-making did not appear, and the qualification to influence the situation fell into the hands of the "faceless puppet" and Edward who hid himself.

The little wooden man borrowed his status as an officer and a large number of puppets in his hands to call on people who were hostile to the local forces in the southern continent to resist and refuse to compromise, and the people of the northern continent, who had been cowering for a long time in the shadow of Thea Eggers' occupation, immediately responded.

The new Governor and Rune are looking forward to striking a balance and pushing out this good man with both ability and integrity for a chance of "the Order's retreat" or "the new Governor's death in the Order's assassination".

Now, however, the city of Aldra is in turmoil.

The people of the Northern Continent spontaneously rebelled and signed a treaty with the Order, and the Order, condemning the escalation of the conflict in the Northland, the new governor wanted to force peace talks to end the dispute, but was overwhelmed by the endless petitions, marches, shootings, and colonial strife.

As a result of the intensifying conflict, many residents have left Aldra and are constantly moving to other nearby cities. They spread the news of the war, causing even greater chaos like ripples.

The city where Edward lived was still a long way from Aldra, but since three days ago, people have been arriving here in the run.

Speculative merchants, panicked residents, and people who had long since been refugees in disputes with other cities, brought all sorts of rumors and chaos with them, and in a very short time caused a huge shock to the order of the city, plunging it into a haze.

"What time is it, and if you don't come to make a deal with me, Thea Eggers can really bear it!"

Edward looked at his watch and teased himself in a good mood.

"It was right to take precautions before, to raise the price of grain in advance, which caused a rush that night, and now the grain merchants want to take advantage of the opportunity, let me see when it is better to let them go bankrupt."

"Forget it, leave this matter to North himself, after all, they will take over after bankruptcy."

"If I were to be like that, they wouldn't have been a first-class food company before the war, so they wouldn't have to exist."

After a leisurely noon, Edward put on his coat and went downstairs, intending to go for a walk outside.

She walked to the hall and saw the hostess of the inn walking around, busily packing her things, and there were many miscellaneous items and bedding piled up in the hall.

Seeing the guest, the hostess quickly let go of the cart in her hand and smiled apologetically at Edward:

"I'm sorry, Mr. Vaughn, we'll be out of business for the rest of the month......"

Edward was not surprised: "Are you going back to the Northern Continent?" It's a good idea, I don't know when it's going to be more messy here. ”

"Tell me when you're ready to close, and I'll settle all the payments."

The hostess breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay. ”

Relying on her husband's connections, they bought two one-way tickets to Rune, and their children under the age of ten were free of charge, and they spent more than half of their family property for these two tickets.

Edward's room fee is also a lot of money, which can make up for their current financial hole.

She asked curiously, "Did you buy a ticket?" Now the ticket back has multiplied tenfold, and it is almost a thousand pounds. ”

The hostess hesitated for a moment and smiled cautiously: "It's just that I have a chance, but I don't know if I can buy it." ”

"Are you hungry? Please wait a minute, there is still some food in the kitchen, I'll cook it for you. The hostess smiled as she wiped her hand on a clean towel and pushed the glove cart aside in her hand, "What do you want to eat today?" ”

Edward thought for a moment and casually asked, "What is the price of rice noodles now?" ”

The hostess's face darkened, and her smile became a little forced: "The price this morning is 12 pence. ”

This is the price of a kilogram.

The economy of the southern continent was affected by local and foreign industries, and the West Bailang Company regulated it as it pleased, and the prices were quite free.

It's a little scary to be free now.

"Then let's eat grilled fish." Edward said casually, "I like the taste of your grilled fish, please add more chili peppers." I went out in the morning and bought some pasta to eat with the kid. ”

The hostess sincerely thanked the guest for her understanding: "Thank you, she is still in the room, I will call her later." ”

She turned to leave, but quickly stopped, and turned her head hesitantly:

"Mr. Vaughn, aren't you going back home?"

"If you need help, you might be able to buy a ticket right now......"

The hostess thought of how much effort her husband had put into the tickets in her hands, and that she might not have the opportunity to get another one, so she hesitated a little, but her concern for the guests prevailed.

"I'll have to wait until I'm done with my business." "But I'll be out of the city soon." ”

"It's better to leave, the city to the west should be relatively safe......" The hostess relaxed a little and ran in the direction of the kitchen.

The safety is quite safe, but I heard that the Rose Sect is taking advantage of the struggle between the Spirit Order and the Northern Continent to arrest people, and many of them have already fled to the east. Edward was trying to grab one to see if he could follow the sacrifices into the Rose School.

Edward looked at her distant back and touched his chin thoughtfully.

"I want to help others but I can't do it, so I have to say a few words to comfort myself."

After speaking, she laughed softly: "This time has been good, I am very satisfied here, if they show more kindness, or give me something substantial, it is not impossible for them to go back alive." ”

She sat down on the old seat of the sofa in the hall, and suddenly, the air around her suddenly became cold and heavy.

The sofa cushion next to him was pressed down slightly, and a middle-aged man with gray sideburns appeared beside Edward, bent down deeply, and sat down on another single sofa next to him.

"Good afternoon, Your Highness."

Mirela bowed her head in greeting, and then said straight to the point: "I have brought the message of Her Majesty the Empress." ”

"Her Majesty the Empress hopes that without further delay, she will start to detonate the center of the conflict, the city of Aldra, within this month."

Good afternoon. It's really tiring to practice.
