Chapter 225: Doing Business
501
"He's an oracle of the Aurora Society, recently in Beckland, it used to be Sequence 6, and now it could be Sequence 5, but it's not sure."
"He can record extraordinary abilities that others have used and use them once, he is good at getting out of trouble, it is difficult to be surrounded, and he may be able to travel through the spirit realm......"
The target is the Aurora Society's Divine Emissary, Sequence 6 or Sequence 5, with abilities similar to the "Apprentice" path...... Sure enough, Miss "Magician" is not as ordinary and simple as it seems, my initial judgment was correct...... "Hermit" Gadelia quickly regained her state, and she was not at all surprised that "Magician" dared to plot against Mr. Aurora Society.
She didn't know which oracle it was, as the only ones she knew were Mr. Z and Ms. D.
At the same time, Crane also quickly made an assessment:
The orals of the Aurora Society, there is no possibility of being innocent, anyway, they are all madmen who mutilate lives, and they will not feel guilty if they kill them......
It's not one or two things that offend the Aurora Society......
The only problem is......
The attitude of the true Creator.
Based on his own investigation after settling down, it seems that the Aurora Society's style of action has indeed changed somewhat.
Bizarre rituals and preaching that "the seven gods are false gods, and the true creator is the only god" also seems to have been greatly reduced compared to the past, at least not in the same open-ended manner as in the past. And this year until April, the only time that the more well-known disturbance was when some members of the Aurora Society and the Fursak spy dog-eat-dog were both arrested, and then a supernatural person who is said to be a divine envoy level ran to the foreign border and fought with the local extraordinary's team, the above content is not known to be true or false, but there is still credibility.
How to say it, the real creator has a very good attitude towards him, and it can even be said that he is very good, he did not hold himself accountable for obstructing the divine descent, he did not mind his various acts of obstruction to the Aurora Society, and expressed his kindness more than once.
But the problem is that even if the true creator shows good intentions, it can't change the essence of all the crazy cultists in the Aurora Society within a few hundred years, and it is obviously unreasonable to grant amnesty to the Aurora Society simply because of the transformation of the real creator.
I can take this commission, but I have to at least confirm the idea of the real creator, and of course, I believe that the real creator who really wants to transform should not mind the disappearance of this kind of character that affects the reputation of the Aurora Society...... And whether this "Louis Wayne" is still unrepentant and sinful to this day, and of course, if he had changed his mind, I could have made his death easier......
Sequence 6 or Sequence 5, to the best of my ability...... the extraordinary ability described by Miss "The Magician" to record and unleash, I seem to have seen it, Mr. A has used it, but it is not necessarily really ......
For me, I don't have to worry too much about being good at escaping and being able to travel through the spirit realm, as long as I can get close to that oracle and successfully manipulate his "spirit line", he won't be able to run!
Head-to-head, the result is hard to say, in the case of a raid, I am quite sure, of course, whether the raid can be successful or not is another matter......
After thinking about it seriously, the "world" looked back at the "magician" Furth and said: "I can consider taking over, but not recently, at least in two months." ”
He didn't know if he would encounter accidents at sea, so he limited the time point to be more relaxed.
"Two months later......" "Magician" Furth repeated the time very hesitantly.
It had been so long that she didn't know how long Louis Wayne would be in Beckland.
At this time, Alger, the "hanged man" who was watching from the sidelines, interjected thoughtfully: "Miss 'Magician', do you have to kill the Aurora Divine Envoy with your own hands?" ”
"No, you see I'm thinking about whether or not to ask Mr. 'World' for help." Furth laughed.
Alger nodded as if he was thinking and said, "The premise of killing is that you can find that oracle, can you find it?" ”
"No, but I'll investigate." "Magician," Furth replied calmly.
"Wait until you have the results, and then let the 'world' do it?" "The hanged man" asked.
"Yes, but I haven't decided yet." Furth was a little dazed, not understanding the purpose of Mr. "The Hanged Man's" series of questions.
"The Hanged Man" Alger then sighed:
"If you can determine the whereabouts of that Aurora Divine Envoy, why would you pay a lot of money to kill him? Wouldn't it be okay to report it directly to the church? In the aftermath of the Great Smog, no church was willing to let go of similar leads. ”
He didn't want to destroy the "world" thing, but obviously heard the hesitation of Miss "Magician", and thought that she was the most likely not to entrust again, after all, many accidents can happen in two months, so he gave some advice so that things could be preliminarily finalized.
Report it to the church? That sounds familiar...... Crane was stunned for a moment, completely unexpecting Mr. "The Hanged Man" to say that.
Hehe, while everyone was infected by Mr. "Hanging Man", he was also affected by us...... Crane was relieved and relieved.
"Report?" "Magician" Furth was stunned.
After a few seconds, she whispered:
"Yes......
The "upside-down hangman" smiled when he heard this:
"Then it can be like this, you first investigate the target, find his whereabouts, if there is a harvest within two months, hand it over to the church to deal with, if it exceeds two months, Mr. 'World' is free, let him help, what do you think?"
"Magician" Furth seriously considered the following way:
"Good.
"When the time comes, I will negotiate the commission price with Mr. 'World'."
……
After the discussion of the main ingredients and recipes for buying and selling, the Tarot Society and others ushered in the favorite part of the group - sitting in the high kingdom of God of Mr. "Fool" and listening to the story of the God's forsaken land told by the "Sun".
The "sun" Derick in the focus of his gaze is not cramped, and he talks eloquently about the mysterious "afternoon town", the clergy who kneel and pray repeatedly, the prophecy of great disasters, the erased names and the seduced angel kings, the chosen self by Ulorius and the escape from the predicament after sudden changes, pulling everyone's thoughts into a thrilling adventure.
"Justice" Audrey, "Magician" Furth and "Moon" Emlyn listened very carefully, and at the same time involuntarily sighed in their hearts that when discussing similar things, Tarot would always seem particularly high-end, what angel king, what evil god true god, what ancient secret, all are just a noun.
Crane listened intently, too, and occasionally made an incomprehensible look, responding to expressions of surprise or reverence.
After talking about the exploration of "Afternoon Town", Darek was about to turn back when he suddenly remembered something and asked with some concern:
"Mr. 'Fool', is the key to leaving the 'Godforsaken Land' really in the 'Court of the Giants'?"
He wasn't sure about that, but Crane thought about it and said in a tone that didn't diminish his status as a "fool" at all:
"In addition to this, the Aurora Society also holds a path to the Godforsaken Lands."
"Their Sage has been there, but unfortunately, they haven't been able to meet the survivors."
The "true creator" that the Aurora Society believes in is our "Creator of All, the All-Knowing and Almighty God" after the madness, and the Sage of the Aurora Society has entered the God's Forsaken Land...... "Sun" Derrick is obviously excited, and a path that has been confirmed to be accessible to outsiders is obviously more worth exploring than the ethereal "Giant Court" where there is not necessarily a real path! If the people on the outside can come in, the people on the inside can definitely go out too! Derick asked a little anxiously:
"Dear Mr. 'Fool', where is the exit to this path? I, I'm willing to do whatever it takes to get this news! ”
The "fool" calmly replied:
"It's too far away and it doesn't belong to me."
Crane dissociated himself and said that it is not up to me whether you can find it, but naturally it depends on the Aurora Society and the true Creator. And Darek also understood this sentence, clenched his fist and pressed it down, but still couldn't help but think.
If, if only distant...... Maybe you can get there with the help of the "Angel of Destiny" as long as you find enough people and bring enough food, but only if the "Angel of Destiny" is willing to help us...... This obviously requires the permission of the true Creator......
Derick gradually calmed down and took this information to heart.
Gadelia, the "Hermit", was touched by the "Court of the Giants" mentioned by Derrick, and talked to everyone about the huge collective dream in the ruins of the Divine War, and the huge complex of buildings that appeared in the dream, soaked in the light of dusk.
502
Edward walked into the Empress's palace, a newspaper in his hand, and a pastry in his hand, and walked through the crowd into the depths, like a gentleman visiting someone's home.
She wandered around the palace for a while admiring the human bones and feathers on the walls, the hallways were filled with painters at work, spirits holding him up, he was suspended in mid-air with a paint plate on the zenith to repaint the mythological history of the Byron Empire, humans and lifelike living corpses were repairing and placing precious artifacts that had not been taken from the Doge's Palace, servants and servants were busy in an orderly manner.
The "Grim Reaper" path is hierarchical, and many places are areas where you must have enough identity and strength to go, and for most people, the area they are in now is all they can go.
The palace was very lively, after all, it was the new political center, and almost all of the people who passed by were in the middle order, and occasionally one or two demigods could be seen walking by with a large number of spirits, and these high-level officials were discussing the declaration of the restoration of the country, and the declaration of secession from the Rune colony.
Edward walked around and admired the cultural features of the Byron Empire, and then walked to a balcony in the palace.
The southern continent has a suitable climate and lush vegetation, but flowers rarely appear in Byron's culture, for the simple reason that the high sequence of the nobles as the path of the "Grim Reaper" will affect the surrounding lifeforms, and it is difficult for flowers to live in the gardens of the nobles, and even if someone takes care of them, the flowering period will be shortened by more than half. Coupled with the warm and humid climate of Byron, the flowers did not become a luxury because they were difficult to cultivate, but returned to the countryside to flourish, and the nobles began to pursue the colorful feathers and gold that symbolized the gods.
The balcony has been completed, the glass has been installed, and it is not completely dark, and the sun is almost warm in May.
A table and two chairs were set up on the balcony, and a lady with bronzed skin, deep facial features, and dark and straight eyebrows, with a typical southern continental appearance, sat at the table, with a cold and sharp beauty.
"The Pale Empress", Thea Palenque Eggers.
Edward walked over, sat down in the vacant seat quite naturally, put the newspaper pastry in his hand on the small round table in the middle, and spoke with some curiosity:
"Do you mind if I judge your appearance?"
Thea Eggers, who was not sitting behind a curtain and was not wearing a veil, replied: "It doesn't matter. ”
"It's kind of like Aziz Eggers." Edward looked at the other party's appearance and those light brown eyes and said, "What are you looking for me?" Wouldn't it just be bothering me to bring you a newspaper? ”
Thea Eggers did not speak, she reached out and took the rolled newspaper, and slowly and dignified unraveled the rope and unfolded it as if she were unpacking a valuable gift. She carefully read and read the first article on the front page of the newspaper, and then read all the other relevant reports in the newspaper. Time passed quietly, the sun fell on her, casting shadows on her face, and the corners of her mouth seemed to rise slightly, as if there were none.
After a long time, the deceased empress put down the newspaper and said softly:
"I'm very happy."
"How did she die?"
Edward picked up the snack that appeared out of thin air on the small round table, and recalled, "I didn't do anything but send her back to her father, and then she died." ”
"It's so good, I'm even a little envious."
Thea Eggers said in a sighing voice: "If I had met her, I would have chosen to show her and all her subordinates to the public, but they would not die, their heads would be hung by me on the walls of the city to dry, and their bodies would be driven by me to become living corpses, and one day I would be tired of them and buried under the city as foundations, and they would never be liberated." ”
"Maybe you wouldn't mind hearing me talk a little bit. I have been to the National Museums of Intis, Rune and Fursac under a false pretense, and there are the crowns belonging to my father, the dowry of my mother, the inheritance of my ancestors, and everything I know in the palace. They are separated from me by a thin layer of glass, and I may never get them back. My homeland, my homeland, they took everything from me, destroyed our culture and art, left only the bloody and brutal part, and then said to everyone, we only have a bloody and brutal culture, we believe in evil gods, worship living sacrifices, and the people are not alive, so they deserve to die, they brought civilization and saved us. ”
"If we have nothing but human sacrifice and blood, what are the exhibits they plunder?"
The path robs almost all the emotions that a living person should have, but hatred has long since become a belief and will only intensify.
"I also deplore the ruined culture." "But more often than not, like now, I'm just a demon with no sympathy, and I take money to do things. ”
By the way, there are actually many people on the Intis side who are relieved, because they maintain the republican system, but they have been worried that Russell's descendants will come back to seize power. When Bernadette died, they were so happy that they offered to help me hide my identity and even gave me a lot of extra money. ”
Thea smiled:
"It's good that if Bernadette Gustav hadn't died long ago in history, this event would have even been celebrated."
After some small talk, she got the topic on track:
"How much have you gained from Bernadette's legacy?" The Grim Reaper's path of extraordinary items and features I acquired in full. ”
Edward smiled and handed over the list that had been made ready, and said, "Bernadette has in her hand the legacy of Emperor Byron, a seal of Sequence One. ”
Thea Eggers was slightly stunned, and then said, "It's in her hands." ”
"That's right."
Edward flipped his hand, took out the "Pale Death" of the human face, and placed it on the table very generously, without the slightest fear of being taken away by the "Pale Empress" opposite, because it was only a one-to-one model.
So Thea Eggers put the newspaper back on the table, picked up the solemn and hard face, and looked at it with a deep gaze.
Although it was only a model, it was as if she had seen her dead father again, and when the owner of this face was still alive, she was in charge of the sacrifice of the god of death, smiling at her young self, handling the affairs of the country, and heroically fighting for the Byron Empire.
Then, all of these images vanished, leaving only a stiff and mutilated corpse lying in front of him. The face was gouged out, the clothes and armor were stripped clean, and lying among the corpses of the fallen army, it was only by blood that it was certain that this was the emperor of the Byran Empire.
It has nothing to do with right or wrong, good or evil, just strength and victory or defeat.
The Byron Empire and the Highland Kingdom were weak, so the southern continent was wrong, and the northern continent was correct.
My father is weaker than your father, and my father will die to be spurned, but your father is great and glorious.
"Bernadette Gustaf ......"
Another princess of the dead country hissed like a snake in the depths of the heart of the now "Pale Empress".
"Your father has taken away so many parents and children from you and my country, and now that you and your father's lives have been taken away, I want to laugh, and you'd better not have any complaints."
The dead, of course, were silent.
The Empress gently lowered her face, her expression as calm as an iceberg that never melts, and she asked, "For the same price, I may need to snatch the Sequence 1 trait of 'Prisoner' or 'Criminal' for you in exchange for this trait." ”
"That's right."
"At the moment, I know a clue, but neither of you nor I have the ability to take it." "So, when necessary, I want to use this clue in exchange for a chance to use this item." ”
Edward perfected the condition: "If I hadn't gotten the trait you said by then, there would be no problem. ”
"What if I use that opportunity to snatch that trait away?"
"It's the best of both worlds."
"Okay, do you want to swear?"
The demon touched his chin: "After doing business for so long, I naturally believe in your personality." But if you don't believe me......"
Edward reached out and rummaged through the collection cabinet, took out a golden lamp and put it on the table, and said with a smile: "Then use it as an intermediary!" ”
Thea Eggers looked down and glanced at the golden lamp.
"Wishing Lamp?" She has heard a little about the legendary 0-05.
Edward nodded: "That's right, the Wishing Lamp." You and I make a wish on it, even if it leaves a mark, if necessary, you recite my honorific name, and then tell the message, as long as it is true, and make a wish, 'I hope that the pale death will appear in my hands at once', and the wishing lamp will immediately send the characteristics over, and in the meantime, you will not be able to contain it, and you will have to return it afterwards. ”
"Make a wish?" Thea Eggers glanced at the wishing lamp twice, "I accept." ”
