"One more thing."

"Which god did you sell your soul to?"

Triss took a deep look at the "Blood General" in front of her and said:

"The Primordial Witch."

……

Mr. A had already saved up enough merits and began to collect his promotion materials, and when the "Black Sage" returned last month, he happened to bring back some auxiliary materials from the treasury at the end of the pilgrimage path, plus the main materials in the Aurora Society, and the materials for concocting potions had been collected.

He left Beckland early and headed off the beaten track at sea to prepare potions and promotion ceremonies.

Sequence 4 of the "Secret Prayer" path is called "Black Knight", and the attack and defense power, as well as the core ability of "Secret Prayer" "Herding", will be significantly improved, and in the next sequence "Three Sanctuary", the ability to whisper will be initially controlled.

The word "knight" has an additional layer of symbolism, meaning a defender of the faith, a knight of the Holy See, who is required to be canonized and oath made during the ceremony. The "Black Knight" who has been promoted successfully will also have a slight bias due to the blessing of the superior and his own oath.

Mr. A received the canonization of the "Angel of War".

He succeeded in ascending to the sea in early May and became the sixth Sage of the Aurora Society, just in time for the True Creator's godhood ceremony. Therefore, Mr. A did not return to the gradual martial law of Beckland, and took advantage of the situation to spread the faith of the true Creator at sea.

On the Rorsted Islands, the rebels who believe in the "sea gods" already have some support from the countries of the Northern Continent and the Church of the Death of the Southern Continent, and they don't mind cooperating with one more cult. But for some reason, the response of the Divine Revelation given by the "Sea Gods" in this regard is always a little ambiguous, neither for nor against, so the leader of the rebels, Carat, kept an eye on it, and did not immediately give Mr. A a cooperative reply, but chose to start from the periphery first and carry out some simple material exchanges with each other.

Mr. A is a simple-minded, upright villain who doesn't lie or overthink.

Except for His Excellency Daniz, the "Divine Messenger", who was frightened enough by the sudden arrival of Mr. A, no one was harmed.

Soon, due to the blessing of the "War Angel" when he was promoted, he was naturally incorporated into the reorganized "War Red", and received the oracle to go to East Bailang first, and before the "War Angel" arrived, he supported the Church of the Death.

……

Thursday afternoon, East Bailang, Star Plateau.

Mr. A, who was herding the "Recorder", reached the battlefield of the battle between the two sides through a "traveler's door" that he recorded.

As soon as he returned to the real world, he noticed that the sky of Byron was pitch black at this time, and the edge of the sky was faintly bright, and the black sky was flickering with stars, but there was a dazzling ray of sunlight from time to time in the other direction.

Eerie cries constantly rang out in various parts of the battlefield, drifting, as if a group of children were wandering around, which was creepy.

Mr. A frowned and stared at the golden glow in the distance, and walked over, resolutely choosing to attack Intis's army first.

Intis's army was only for a show in this conflict, they had not had time to enjoy and show off the bribes they had received, and they did not intend to fight with real guns, but were forced to come by order.

The priests occasionally used the Purifying Light to remove some living corpses and necromantic creatures, barely supporting Rune's army.

Mr. A walked straight across the battlefield towards the rabble that was fighting and retreating.

The shadows around swelled and silently surrounded it, lurking at everyone's feet. His fingers suddenly fell to the ground one by one, turning into a black sea of flesh and blood, engulfing the nearby corpses under the cover of shadows, and enveloping the position little by little.

The heavenly spirits noticed Mr. A, an unidentified Sage who had suddenly joined the fray, but left when they saw him start approaching the Intis army and using spells and flesh magic related to the "shadows".

Bang! Bang! Bang!

A cannon belonging to the army of the Northern Continent roared wildly in front, causing shells with red, blue, silvery, or dark light to roar towards the enemy's position, causing some effective casualties of the Bailang army.

But the sound of artillery is only occasionally heard, and in nearly half a month of fierce fighting, the stocks of the Northern Continent have been depleted.

A fresh corpse lying at his feet, half-eyed, sat up slowly, dressed in the uniform of the Rune garrison, and returned to the battlefield like a living man under the cover of darkness, his fingers nimbly reloading the guns in his hands and blending into the rear of the army.

He had several fatal bullet holes on his body, as well as knife wounds. But the corpse was still warm, more like it was unconscious on the battlefield than a corpse, and now it woke up again. The corpse, like many of its kind, was slightly hunched over its waist, its arms in its abdomen, making it look like it was unwell and unable to stand up straight, but in fact it hid the muzzle of the gun under its arms.

Unlike the lifelike movements, the muddy eyes of the living corpses stared blankly ahead, seemingly unfocused.

Only when they get close to a living person, their eyes will suddenly turn, and then they will pull out their guns and shoot them in the back of the head or temple, killing them in the dark.

Amid the dense gunfire and roars, one unsuspecting living person after another fell.

Their eyes widened, their expressions dazed, or their expressions remained at the end of their lives, and warm blood flowed from the wounds in their heads.

Soon they will pick up their guns and get back on their feet, joining the ranks of living corpses with cold guns in their backs.

But at the same time as the gunshots are fired, these anomalous living corpses will also be discovered, and under the gaze of the glasses of the stars, the sleeping songs will echo on the battlefield for the first time, bringing the dead back to a peaceful slumber.

Times have changed, and the Church of the Grim Reaper's attacks have moved beyond simple spirit attacks and living corpses, and they have begun to actively learn how to use all kinds of advanced weapons and steam machines.

One of the living corpses really touched the rumbling spiritual material cannon, but the church members behind it would not use it, and finally lit a torch to detonate all the artillery around it, almost completely destroying all the artillery and ammunition.

The bishops and generals in Rune's army have ugly faces, the battle with the Church of the Reaper should not be too long, the longer it drags on, the more corpses there are, there is not enough holy water to splash on the battlefield, and there is no time to perform requiem rituals on the corpses, there will be more and more living corpses driven by the Church of Death, and finally the number of dead souls and living corpses will exceed the number of living people.

And during this period of battle, the control of the Church of the Death has become more and more vivid, and if you don't look closely, it is no different from a real person.

In terms of driving spirit creatures, the extraordinary beings of the "Sleepless" path are also slightly inferior, and it is difficult to drive spirits who have entered into a contract with themselves from the hands of the "necromantic masters". Fortunately, there are various ways in the Northern Continent, and from time to time the "mysterious weakening" and "purifying light" can effectively expel spirits and living corpses, and with the "doom" and the already sophisticated equipment, the Church of the Death does not have too many advantages.

However, with the addition of Mr. A, a member of the Aurora Society, who symbolizes the "position of the true creator", the situation of the battle, which had been anxious, has changed.

Lurking in the shadows, he quickly melted the corpses that were no longer under control on the battlefield into a black sea of blood, drowning Intis's army.

The priest, bound by shadows and flesh, was shocked, and he held up the golden emblem in his hand, and the battlefield shone brightly:

"God Says ......"

The black knight in black armor suddenly appeared in the night, his scarlet eyes fixed on the priest of Intis, and he hated the light of the sun.

The earth shook, and he stepped on the sea of flesh and blood, wielding a heavy black greatsword, slashing the priest and the holy emblem in his hand!

The cut is made diagonally from the shoulders to the waist, and the upper and lower bodies of the priest are dislocated and separated along the incisions.

The light of the night vanished, the power of purification gradually dissipated, and the necromancers of the Church of the Grim Reaper quickly filled the area and began to eat away at the flanks of Rune's army.

The armor turned into shadows and scattered, and Mr. A stood in the middle of the sea of blood, reverently holding the cross in his hand and praying in a low voice.

536

At night, Crane disguised himself as Hugh and infiltrated Mr. X's Extraordinaire rally.

As he walked through the living room, Klein's inspiration was touched, and he felt that invisible eyes swept over him out of nowhere.

He pretended not to find anything, and entered the living room in front of him, examined the surroundings, and found a spot not far from the main seat, but not too close.

And the moment he passed through the door, all gaze vanished, gone.

If it weren't for the triple seal isolation of the "resentful soul", most of them would have been detected just now...... Mr. X isn't as bold and crazy as he appears...... Members of the Aurora Society generally feel crazy because of their style, and this impression can sometimes be a disguise...... Crane thought and sat down, tugging at his hood to hide his face deeper in the shadows.

After ten minutes or so, when the party members were almost all together, Mr. X, wearing a brass mask, came to the door without any movement, stepped inside, and walked to the main seat.

He was wearing a black classical robe and a peaked magician's hat, and his momentum was restrained when he walked, but it made everyone present unconsciously lower their heads.

After turning around and sitting down slowly, Mr. X looked around and said in a low voice:

"Let's get started."

The distance is within four meters...... Crane didn't rush to make a move, retracted his gaze, and patiently watched as several members of the party exchanged the information of the unlucky ones for gold pounds, listening to Mr. X's occasional response.

As the minutes ticked by, and the focus of the party began to shift from Mr. X's bounty to trading with each other, Crane no longer hesitated, and pinched the first joint of his index finger twice with his left thumb, opening the "Spirit Thread" vision.

Illusory thin black lines immediately appeared in front of his eyes, and they drilled out of different people and spread into infinity.

After a little discernment, Klein covertly manipulated Mr. X's "spirit thread".

In his plan, there are two main difficulties in the mission, one of which is that Mr. X, who has the sequence of "astrologer" in the precedent sequence, and the Aurora Sage, who may be hidden in the shadows, may have a sense of danger and be keenly aware of the anomaly when they begin to manipulate the corresponding "spirit line".

Other "secret puppet masters" have a high probability of being helpless at this point, but Klein is different, he still has the identity of a "fool", and the power of the mysterious space above the gray fog can be borrowed, and he can rely on the interference of the "paper angel" in advance to eliminate hidden dangers.

The party went on without any anomaly, and the time of more than ten seconds was fleeting, and Crane was only three seconds away from initially controlling Mr. X, and the aurora emissary, unaware, was looking at the conclusion of a deal with deep eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.

At the critical moment, Klein took the initiative to stop!

Barely holding on, he pulled out a hand and slipped into the pocket of his hooded robe, touching the iron cigarette case sealed with a "spiritual wall".

Klein immediately moved his finger and poked lightly to lift the "spiritual wall" and let it turn into a breeze in his pocket.

He retracted his palm and waited for a few more seconds until Mr. X's gaze looked to the other side before continuing to manipulate the "Spirit Line" downward.

Two seconds, one second, zero seconds!

Mr. X's thoughts froze, as if someone had poured cement into it that had just been stirred.

……

Behind the curtain of shadows, the Dark Sage listened intently for news from the unlucky, searching for information that might be useful based on their experience and records within the Aurora Society.

Mr. X and the "Secret Sage" seem to have had a few exchanges recently, and it seems that they have some other thoughts on the "confession". But their piety never wavered, nor did they cause trouble or disobey willingly, and when it came to a saint, the dark saint turned a blind eye.

Finally, at the end of the meeting, Mr. X said in a low voice, without any anomaly:

"The end."

His words were succinct, exactly the same as the last one, which Hugh had described to Forth.

There was a slight rustle in the living room, and it was supposed to be a party member getting up and preparing to leave.

The Dark Sage also recorded a few pieces of information that might be useful, and after everyone left, he arranged a follow-up search with Mr. X to confirm the authenticity.

At this moment, his temples suddenly jumped, and then a sonic boom so huge that it shocked people to temporarily deaf exploded in the living room behind the wall, and a terrifying hurricane visible to the naked eye came out of nowhere and quickly generated in this small building!

Enemy attack!

Someone has lurked in!

The Dark Sage immediately made a judgment, but for a moment he couldn't figure out how the other party had deceived his eyes.

He immediately drove the shadows in the corner of the living room and asked them to extend their arms to protect Mr. X, who might not have had time to open the door and escape, but those shadow hands actually pounced, and the moment before the "tornado" was fully formed, Mr. X actually took two steps to the left like a prophet, and walked to the side of a small man who had never spoken!

Kersma's pupils are constricted.

The "tornado" was fully formed, and the table, coffee table, sofa, and high-backed chairs in the room flew up in an instant, and the violent tornado broke the walls, carried away the roof, and swept towards the mouth of the alley.

The tornado that soared into the sky was like a terrifying giant, staggering towards the mouth of the alley, towards the location of the street, and where it passed, the ground was clean and there was not a single thing left.

The walls of the small building were crumbling, and the Dark Sage left his hiding place, blending into the shadows of the street corners, staring upwards at Louis Vane, who was constantly being thrown away in the fading storm, and at the small man who seemed to be an enemy.

I saw that they were also thrown by the wind to another nearby street at the same time, as if they had been calculated!

The Dark Sage immediately chased after him, running along the gap in the wall where only shadows were seen to reach his destination, and in the process, he kept his eyes on the sky above, only to see that the little man suddenly took out an ancient revolver from his arms, aimed it at Mr. X's head in the air, and pulled the trigger!

The impact caused Mr. X's head to jerk back.

His head, his brass mask, split into countless pieces at this moment, carrying a red and white liquid, flying in all directions.

One shot kills!

The Dark Sage was furious, and at the moment of shooting, he sensed the spirituality of the small enemy, it should be a mid-sequence powerhouse, not like a "sailor" in terms of action and behavior style, then the "tornado" that appeared inexplicably before is completely understandable, either the other party is holding a level 1 "sailor" path seal, or the other party has a "record"-related item!

Almost instantly, Kersma guessed that Mr. X, Louis Vane, had died in the revenge of the Abrahamic family.

But he would never let the man who had killed the Aurora Divine Envoy leave, and the shadows of the surrounding streets distorted as if filled with a dark and strange invisible liquid that flowed and poured in, and quickly coalesced to form a solid cage.

In such darkness, one after another shadows came to life, and all the cold eyes fell on the assassin.

I saw the assassin open a book, and in an instant, the silver and white lightning tilted like rain, which was the "lightning storm" of the "sailor"!

The silvery-white lightning blocked the shadow of the Dark Sage, and also attracted the attention of the Bishop of the Storm Church, who opened the door and calmly walked away before Ksma's shadow hand touched the assassin.

In the alleys strewn with wood chips, rubble, strips of cloth, and all sorts of miscellaneous items, and turned into flat meeting houses, in a place full of shadows, the Dark Sage snorted:

"Damn it!"

Then there was thunder in the sky, and strong winds and thunderstorms struck.

The "Dark Blue Priest" Redel Valentin discovers lightning that does not belong to him, and also discovers the Aurora Sage illuminated by the light of the lightning.

He was more inclined to attack the Dark Sage who was close at hand than the Chaos Initiator who had vanished without a trace.

When Mr. A thought about the title of Sage, the first thing that came to mind was "Blood Sage", no, it's too unlucky......
