457

The contract between me and Admiral Emilius Livitt was terminated early?

Crane was stunned.

If he remembered correctly, it should have been at least some day, or when Admiral Emilius himself would return to hand him over.

Now that the naval base is almost completely destroyed, and Admiral Emilius has not appeared, why did the contract end like this?

This can't be the normal end!

A little sweat broke out on Crane's head, and the unreasonable end gave him a vague feeling of extreme malaise.

The only explanation is that the incident, which required Admiral Emilius' covert involvement, was inherently dangerous, and now ......

He looked quietly from side to side, looking for a hidden corner to leave.

As a general, he is not subject to special surveillance, and can easily leave the mansion, but he also does not have much free time, even in the study to make some noises. If you become a servant or a member of the General's Guard, there is a great danger of being discovered.

If the truth is really as bad as he imagined, then his true identity will be discovered sooner or later, and he may disappear from the world, or he may have to play Admiral Emilius forever.

I still have time...... After the attack on the naval base, the security at night will definitely be strengthened, and it is no longer a good opportunity to escape. If the contract had ended earlier, I would not have stayed after Cynthia had died just now, but would have left while there was chaos and everyone unconscious, and put all the blame on the "Celestial Sect" and the "Mother Tree of Desire" that had transformed Cynthia...... Crane let out a long exhale, convincing himself to calm down.

Now, my only advantage is the status of a general, leaving at night, and the guards will definitely follow. If I'm going to escape, the best time is probably during the day...... As Creon pondered, there was a knock at the door.

"Come in."

The black-haired guard impolitely dragged a man into the study and threw him to the ground.

The leader of the Celestial Cult was Follett Ken, a man in his thirties, with a thin face with a brown beard and an evil cyan tattoo on his neck.

He was brought to Crane with a very sluggish personality, as if he had been severely mentally tortured.

"Your Excellency Admiral, in the process of being arrested, he has continuously exchanged his reason for strength, and his spirit is close to collapse......" The black-haired guard officer who temporarily took the position of secretary reported the matter as it was.

That's just right...... Crane was also worried that Follett Ken would become a "madman" and resist mental oppression and refuse to answer his own questions, so he would have to risk suspicion and retire his subordinates to try "psychic".

Crane stared coldly at Follett Ken in front of him, his left hand quietly dyed with a golden hue with the help of the shielding of the desk.

"Wriggling Hunger" switched to the "Interrogator" soul!

In the depths of Crane's eyes, two lightning-like lights immediately loomed, completely overlapping with the reflected figure of Follett Ken.

"Spirit Piercing" is ready to go!

However, Crane didn't use this extraordinary ability directly, because it was only at the level of Sequence 7, and once it was used in front of his subordinates, he would be immediately recognized.

With the help of the coercion of the spirit level brought by the "spiritual piercing", Crane sat there, like a real Admiral Emilius, and said in a low voice:

"Do you know Cynthia?"

As he spoke, he raised his right hand and let the black pendant like a shrunken rhinoceros horn he held in his palm slide down and swayed in the air:

"What does it do?"

The sluggish Follett Ken shuddered for a moment, only to feel as if his spirit was being held against a sharp dagger, ready to be pierced at any moment.

He couldn't help but bow his head and stammered in reply:

"Acquaintance."

"Cynthia, Miss Cynthia wants to have a child with extraordinary abilities with you, and was introduced to me by her parents."

"It is a 'reproduction necklace' made with the breath of the gods, as long as you take its powder and wear it for a long time, you can, you can't resist it, your Excellency Admiral......"

Crane listened in silence, half believing and half skeptical of Follett Ken's words.

Part of what he believed was Cynthea's purpose, that this beautiful young lady, perhaps out of her own thoughts, or perhaps forced by others, really wanted to have a child with Admiral Emilius, as can be seen from her obsession with the mutation.

Although the nobles of the Kingdom of Rune did not like or even reject illegitimate children, it depended on the circumstances, and a child who inherited many of his father's extraordinary traits and was born smoothly would also be valued enough - those of the ancient families who knew a lot of secrets were even more important in this regard, including the Levitts.

Moreover, Admiral Emilius is a serious and old-fashioned man with a very emotional heart, even if he is an illegitimate child, he will definitely love and value it...... This may be the real reason why Cynthia is desperate to have a child...... Crane sighed inwardly.

His doubts about Follett Ken's answer focused on the true role of the "Necklace of Reproduction" and whether the Celestial Cult had deliberately misled Cynthia in this matter.

Slightly reinforcing the oppression of the "Psychic Piercing", Crane silently stared into Follett Ken's eyes until the other party lowered his head again in an unbearable manner.

"What else does this necklace do?" Crane shook the broken pendant in his hand again.

He spoke in a calm tone, as if he knew all the secrets, and now asked questions just to get final confirmation.

The indescribable pressure hit, and Follett Ken, who was already on the verge of a mental breakdown, could no longer bear it, and collapsed to the ground with a thud, shouting almost madly:

"It, it can pollute you!"

"As long as Cynthia consumes the powder it grinds and reverently recites the honorific name of the 'Mother Tree of Desire', it is okay to pollute the men who have sex with her and have successfully conceived children!"

"Yes, you can become a believer in the 'Mother Tree of Desire'! Become her Volumener! ”

So that's it...... Crane understood what was going on, and he had no doubts about what happened tonight.

The purpose of the Celestial Sect is to use Cynthia's "Necklace of Reproduction" with the help of ordinary items to pollute Admiral Emilius, so that this military magnate of the Kingdom of Rune will become a devout disciple of the "Mother Tree of Desire", take care of the development of their sect, and even provide shelter.

The key to the success of this approach is to be stealthy and normal enough, and not directly related to words such as force, attack, and fear.

"Therefore, Cynthia, who was rejected by me three times, gradually exceeded the upper limit because the polluting power of the 'Reproduction Necklace' powder in her body was difficult to remove, and finally colluded with the 'Mother Tree of Desire', and there was a seemingly sudden mutation......

"So, her mutated monster can't actually pose enough threat to the real Admiral Emilius, even I can use the 'Ninth Law' spell to solve it more easily, because this is not the result that the Celestial Sect wants to achieve at all, they only hope to discreetly pollute Admiral Emilius, instead of clash with the demigods......" Crane exhaled silently.

This matter was supposed to be the duty of the secretary Lu Er'an, but now that he is dead, he cannot be held accountable for the dead.

Only the leader of Sequence 8 knew a lot of details, and Crane was going to ask for more information to see if he was guilty of a heinous crime and if he could be used as food for the "wriggling hunger", and he had used this remarkable item several times today.

At this moment, Follett Ken, who was mentally depressed but still in the realm of normal people, suddenly twitched violently, his eyes rolled up, and the terrifying red blood covered almost the entire whites of his eyes, and he foamed at the mouth and fell to the ground, curled up in a ball, constantly pulling his flesh and hair with his hands, his expression was distorted, and he looked extremely painful.

"Great ......"

His mouth was still muttering indistinctly, and his throat was gurgling: "Follow ......"

The black guard stared at him and asked Crane if he needed to find a doctor, which was obviously a sudden illness.

Once this man dies like this, he and the others may never know who is behind this attack on General Emilius.

Crane narrowed his eyes slightly, opened his vision, and then he found that the body of Follett Ken, who seemed to have a sudden seizure, did not have any lesions, but the spirit was actually abnormally active, and the part of the ear also had abnormal changes inside.

This anomalous change immediately reminded him of the "Hermit" Gadelia, who had been instilled with the knowledge of the "Hidden Sage" to the point of almost losing control, and Crane quickly made a judgment - it was not a sudden illness, but that Follett Ken had suddenly received a message or whisper from a secret existence!

He immediately spoke:

"He's not in the right state, you go out for a while."

"Yes, Your Excellency." The other party had no doubts, and immediately walked out of the study quickly and closed the door with his hand.

With a soft click, the whole study suddenly became quiet, as if it was cut off from the outside world.

The extraordinary abilities of the "Corrupt Baron"? Distort the meaning of the action of "closing the door" to close the study? It's very sweet, isn't it...... Crane thought for a few seconds, and thought that the best way to isolate the high-level existence was to pull the other party directly to the source fort, which was also convenient for asking.

The act of locking down the study is also to his liking. So he took action, walked four steps backwards, and after landing at the Source Fort, he also grabbed the spirit of Follett Ken.

Follett Ken was on the verge of a mental breakdown, and had been giggling since he was freed from the pain. His spirit appeared in Crane's hand, in an almost psychic state.

"What do you hear?" He asked in a deep voice.

"Your Highness! It's an oracle that belongs to His Highness the 'Divine Sin'! Follett Ken really laughed like a madman and opened his arms, "His Highness Siea asks for more sacrifices!" Life! Give more of your life to Him! ”

Siea? "Iniquity" Soea? The high-ranking man of the indulgent faction of the Rose School...... Crane didn't have much thought about Follett Ken being able to receive the other party's oracle, and Sequence 8 was a bit lower, but it wasn't surprising.

What made him a little curious was that the node of the oracle of Siea came just after the "Celestial Sect" tried to pollute Admiral Emilius, which may have something to do with it, or it could be a complete coincidence.

"What is the sacrifice she is asking for?" Crane asked casually.

Follett Ken answered: "Mankind is full of spiritual life, living sacrifices, and liberating desires!" ”

In other words, the "god Si'a" will ask for human sacrifices, and you are no stranger to this and you are not afraid, and you may have participated in it, and even offered many living sacrifices with your own hands...... Crane nodded, already finding food for the "wriggling hunger".

He was not interested in the details of the cult sacrifice, so he did not ask in detail.

But Follett Ken was still excitedly muttering:

"The Great Sacrifice of His Highness Siea! Dedicated to the Mother Tree and Her Highness! The remnants of the temperance faction have finally exposed the message, and they will be given to His Highness Siea, and they will surely be praised! ”

The word caught Crane's attention: "The remnant of temperance? ”

Follett Ken smiled nervously, "The Order of Uttar Pradesh has found traces of the remnants of the Uttar Pradesh who fled to the Northern Continent......"

Crane immediately asked the other party for details, but unfortunately the other party only knew so much, and even the name, appearance and identity of Yu Sin were not clear, and Crane asked in vain.

"I wonder if it's really Sharon and Marić." Crane hesitated, "If there is real danger, they may take the initiative to write to me, after all, the identity of Gelman Sparrow was given to me by Marić." ”

"The fact that they are not moving now proves that the actions of the indulgents against them have not yet begun, or that they are not targets, and I should write a letter to remind them that maybe it can help."

Crane asked, "Who told you to do this?" ”

In his mind, Follett Ken's answer must have been planned by us, and after coming into contact with Cynthia, understanding her needs, and knowing who her mistress was, the Celestial Sect boldly had the idea of polluting Admiral Emilius.

"Yes, it's the 'Mother Tree of Desire'!"

But he didn't want to, Follett Ken, who had a nervous breakdown, actually gave him such an answer:

"It is the great Mother Tree of Desire that instructs us to do so in our dreams! At first, I just wanted to lend the 'Breeding Necklace' to Cynthia, Miss Cynthia to wear, and I didn't intend for her to take the powder. ”

Instructed by the "Mother Tree of Desire"? This is equivalent to an oracle in a way...... Crane almost frowned.

Although Admiral Emilius is a military tycoon of Rune, one of the supreme rulers of the Central Sunian Sea, with a very important position and considerable power, it will not attract the direct attention of an evil god...... However, I'm not an evil god, I can't understand their thoughts, and maybe there are more plans to contaminate Emilius...... Well, in this state, it is impossible for Follett Ken to lie, he has already automatically told me a lot of information, and so write to Sharon to confirm it...... Crane thought for a moment and asked solemnly:

"When did you get that dream?"

Follett squeezed out a smile full of fear and said:

"Yes, it was February 4th, last Friday night, and I remember, remember very clearly, that I had just liberated spiritually for a lady."

February 4...... Crane chewed on the date, not thinking of anything special for a moment.

After two seconds of silence, he turned to ask:

"What is your relationship with the Rose School?" What is the relationship between the 'Mother Tree of Desire' and the 'Bound God'? ”

He wasn't worried that Admiral Emilius actually knew about it, and that the blonde secretary Lu Eran also knew something, because it could be understood as a confirmation question.

Follett Ken showed a look of ferventness that he was trying to endure:

"We, we are a branch of the Rose School, and my mentor is the Sage Zatwin of the Rose School.

"The 'Bound God' is an embodiment of the 'Mother Tree of Desire.'"

"The 'Mother Tree of Desire' is the true, the only deity that transcends the Seven Gods and the 'True Creator'!"

The commonplace cult boasts of itself. Crane thought blankly.

Just as the Aurora Society proudly wrote in their pamphlets that "the true creator is the oldest and greatest deity," each cult group exalts its own gods while belittling the seven and other evil gods.

However, judging from his own experience, this sentence still has some credibility, because after two divinations of the Source Castle, it is indeed better to listen to the whispers of the real creator than to look directly at the pain caused by the "Eternal Sun".

Coupled with the fact that the real creator and himself are from the same era, the ancient past era, it is difficult to imagine that the real creator can really occupy the two titles of "oldest" and "strongest", but "greatest" may not be known.

"In accordance with the revelation given by the 'Mother Tree of Desire', we performed a ritual with the help of the 'Necklace of Reproduction' and the hair of a homeless man provided by a believer, amplifying the appetite of the other person."

Admiral Emilius's original homeless stand-in was indeed killed by them! In order to make it impossible for the Admiral to leave, so as to step into the trap, have a relationship with Cynthia, and suffer pollution? Crane instantly strung everything together.

And my presence offered another possibility, coincidentally ruining the plan...... Coincidental...... Wrong! As the word "coincidence" flashed through his mind, Crane suddenly remembered what was special about February 4th, when the Mother Tree of Desire gave Follett Ken's dream revelation.

That was his first day on Olavi Island!

Crane was suddenly stunned, he looked at the bronze table in front of him, looked at the fanatical and mentally confused Follett Ken, remembered what the real creator had said to him, combined with the previous conjecture, he suddenly had a bold and absurd guess-

The real target of the "Mother Tree of Desire" can't be him, right?

Or maybe it's someone who "owns the Source Fort", right?!

Mazao watched the news, incredulous, frowned, investigated the details, thought left and right, called Edward, and the hair brush fell down.
