Chapter 249: Source Fort is not a good thing, so lose it
543
In the second half of the banquet, Dr. Allen glanced at his watch, grabbed his wife's hand, and asked in a low voice:
"Tired?"
Ms. Velma stroked her stomach and smiled, "I'm not tired yet, I like the Dixie food prepared by Mr. DantΓ¨s, I want to stay a little longer, my dear, can you get me a juice?" β
β¦β¦
The conversation moved to the next stage, and the real creator teacher's gaze shifted to Klein's left hand.
Under the gaze of the gods of this path, the "wriggling hunger" suddenly took on its original form, trembling with excitement as if it had been beaten with chicken blood, and its mouth full of sharp teeth was closed, as if it were afraid of drooling and disgusted when it opened its mouth wide and praised the true Creator with spirituality.
Klein did not infuse any spirituality, but the "wriggling hunger" worked spontaneously, and souls blurred by pain flashed in the air, resting on the face of a featureless tired middle-aged man.
This is Mr. X after taking off the mask, Louis Vaane.
"Wriggling hunger" will afflict the souls grazed in it, and after a week of not seeing, Mr. X's still young spirit will age rapidly. Although the envoy never had the opportunity to meet the gods during his lifetime, he saw the gods in a blur after his death. He didn't know who the being in front of him was who had summoned his spirit from the extraordinary object, but he instinctively lowered his head and remained silent.
The eyes of the true creator turned to Klein:
"Did the Abrahams hire you for revenge?"
No...... Or is it? How to answer this question? Klein hurried to think about it, the real creator must have known that Mr. X and the "Secret Sage" were both traitors to the Abraham family, so after X died inexplicably, it would be considered the revenge of the Abraham family...... Would he mind the death of his subordinates, or would he mind revenge? According to the information of "The Magician", Louis Vane has never changed his style, but seems to have restrained himself a little more than before......
Klein quickly extracted a few key points, leaned forward slightly, and his voice became a little serious:
"Nope."
"This is a commission made by an 'apprentice' who was helped by the Abrahamic family to repay the teacher for saving his life."
Louis Vane was a traitor, and Klein showed his disdain mercilessly with words and body movements.
For a full five seconds, the true creator did not respond, and Mr. X's spirit still hung its head, he had lost his former self-satisfaction and arrogance in the torment. Klein's heart was still raised, and his spiritual perception told him that the true Creator was not angry.
He was right, but it also revealed a very dangerous signal - the "Secret Sage" was also a traitor to the Abraham family, and if Crane received another commission one day, he might still do it.
The true creator was noncommittal, and he took a deep look at Klein, feeling a little troubled by the historical legacy of the Aurora Society.
Many things can be solved by more than repentance and reparations.
The enmity between the Abrahams and the Aurora Society is a case in point.
Originally, there was no stake between a secret family and a secret organization, and they could even cooperate occasionally. But in the "kill the chicken and take the eggs" operation many years ago, their relationship was completely over.
But after all, the Abrahamic family has declined, and the Aurora Society doesn't care about casualties, and no one takes this matter seriously.
The Aurora Society's policy will continue to be adjusted, but I didn't expect that less than two weeks after the confessional oracle was issued, the former victims came to seek revenge...... It's also a good thing to be able to adjust in time and continue to screen believers...... Leave it to the Dark Sage.
According to previous reports, both Mr. X and the "Secret Sage" seem to have opinions about confession......
The True Creator waved his hand, and Louis Vane's spirit was thrust back into the "wriggling hunger", trembling and not daring to move.
He spoke unquestioningly:
"If there is a replacement in the future, give me back his soul."
"If not, give him his soul back to me in ten years."
"Characteristic, to the House of Abraham."
Traits can give Abraham β showing kindness, repairing relationships, showing attitude, sustainability is the most important thing. Therefore He did not continue to fight, nor did He say anything about the "Secret Sage". The true Creator's answer is already equivalent to expressing his position on the act of "Abraham's family hired people for revenge", and the rest is up to Klein himself.
Klein also breathed a sigh of relief and nodded in agreement.
The quartz wall clock struck nine times, and it was already the end of the ball, and he, the master of the ball, had disappeared for half an hour.
The true creator is apparently out of touch with the lives of ordinary people for too long to be aware of the rules of communication in Rune's high society. But what he has to say is almost finished, and what should be expressed is also expressed by the outer gods, Klein still needs time to continue to explore the world, gradually accept reality, just hint at it now, the more he says, the more he will make the other party afraid of the "future".
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed - was it too early to say, maybe it would be better to let this young man named Klein have been unknowingly promoted and moving forward, so that he could not think on his own, and it would be better to push him step by step into that position?
The real creator has long been prepared for the moral kidnapping of Klein, but at the moment, he feels that it is a little chicken, if the other party itself does not intend to protect the world, what is the point of moral kidnapping.
Only he has a firm, indestructible conviction that even time cannot erase can resist the erosion of divinity and instinct.
"Are you done?"
The outer god opened his mouth coldly and looked straight at Klein:
"Have you ever heard a phrase? When you choose your path, friends and foes are already decided. β
"When you choose the 'fate' that the Source Fort represents, your enemies have already been decided."
"Although I didn't do anything during the two meetings, I am your enemy."
Crane was a little hairy at the sight of the other party's seemingly completely unfocused inhuman eyes, and felt his ears and bones start to chill and ache again.
The other party's appearance is very strange, although he has the appearance of a human, but he does not have any fine lines and spots on the skin of a normal human, like a delicate man-made object.
"As long as you choose Fort Source, I am your enemy - there are many others who are also your enemies, I will do everything I can to stop you and kill you - of course, we don't know each other, and we don't have mortal enemies with each other, I want to kill you, it has nothing to do with you."
"Stop your intimidation."
The True Creator snorted lowly, and the taut breath in the room vanished: "It's his choice." β
"Hopefully he really has a choice." The outer gods were unimpressed.
β¦β¦
"What are you trying to do this time?"
"Verify one thing, it seems that Klein and I still have a chance to meet." The Declining King shifted the subject, "You want Him to save the world so much?" Why bother. β
After leaving the mansion, inside the Faye estate.
The outer god said casually: "You should have seen it a long time ago, Klein Moretti, Zhou Mingrui, and their combination are just ordinary human beings, and such human beings are insulated from things like 'saving the world and resisting the apocalypse'. β
It's definitely too late to train now, and it's better to find someone like Russell and educate him so that he believes that he is the savior of the end of the world than to let Klein volunteer to protect the earth.
To a person like Klein, who can be seen everywhere, "It's just to make you a god and go to the front line to fight the apocalypse, don't be too nervous, even if you are defeated, it will only mean that the earth will be destroyed and everyone will die", is this kind of thing really something that people can do?
"There are too many variables." The True Creator shook his head, "There are too many obstacles. β
"But the will lives on in the character, whether it's Amun, Zarathu, or Klein, all have similarities with mystery."
"Yes, selfishness and wickedness are His symbols."
"Your insistence on supporting the less selfish Klein will only lead to his gradual loss of self in the end."
"This is our fate, the future that will come sooner or later, and for me, the most important thing is to get through the end of the day."
"Mystery is not like you. No matter how much you try to separate from God, you have an instinct to 'tame others,' and you have done so throughout history, and He doesn't need to, so He doesn't have to think of himself as responsible for the earth. β
The True Creator sighed, "Perhaps. β
"Have you seen EVA?"
"I haven't seen it, what is it?"
"When I didn't say it."
ββ¦β¦ If I could become a pillar soon, maybe he wouldn't have to risk his life for humanity, which is what I should have done thousands of years ago. β
"I love that." The outer god nodded, "Who will you kill first?" β
The True Creator did not answer.
"Very good, you didn't directly refuse, it seems that you already have someone in mind."
The Decayed King changed the subject: "After getting along with you, a question gradually arose for me. β
"What?"
"I have never been able to understand who invented the system of 'anchors', but if God has the instinct to domesticate others as his own lambs, is it because you have preached all over the world and led all the gods who have come after you astray?"
The True Creator frowned, and just as He was about to speak, the Outer God looked at the demon who was far behind him, and asked:
"How's it going?"
Milan, who was suddenly named, almost fell to his knees:
"Sorry, there was one guy who didn't clean up last week and it seems to have caught the attention of the church, but we've dealt with it all."
"We have purchased a large number of new equipment from the Steam Church, and actively participated in social activities, which has temporarily eased our relationship with the uncooperative aristocratic estate, and now that more and more nobles are willing to cooperate, we have decided to take the knighthood next step and run for the House of Commons."
"The Church of the Night and the Church of the Storm followed up on a murder, but it didn't touch our core."
"After obtaining the knighthood, it is to cover the supplies during the war......"

The next day, it was Monday again.
At the tarot meeting, after the initial conclusion of the item transaction, the "hanged man" Alger thought about it and looked at the "world" Gelman Sparrow and said:
"Can you share that mural with everyone?"
He believes that the mural is directly related to something that happened in the afternoon town and the court of the Giants, so that the "sun" can know in advance what Silver City will discover and encounter if it continues to explore, so as to prepare in advance and avoid danger, because of this, sharing is a better choice than concealing.
"I'm okay with that." Klein had similar considerations, making the "world" Gelman. Sparrow responded.
What frescoes...... It seems to be important...... This is the mural that Mr. "The Hanged Man" and "Mr. World" saw in the collaboration where they found the "Tyrant" card? "Justice" Audrey was full of curiosity and waited for the show.
In the midst of the gazes, Alger, the "Hanged Man", obtained the consent of Mr. "The Fool" and embodied the mural of the King of Angels eating the creator of the Silver City.
The bloody, evil, terrifying, and gloomy picture stunned the members of the Tarot congregation, and even the knowledgeable and well-informed "Hermit" Gadelia forgot to think for a moment.
Isn't this the "Eternal Sun", "Lord of the Storm", and "God of Knowledge and Wisdom" that Mr. "World" showcased? Why are they eating people, no, they are eating the ancient sun god, the creator of the Silver City! "Justice" Audrey was greatly shocked, and instinctively wondered if someone was distorting and slandering the image of the righteous god.
"The Magician" Furth shuddered with some fear, but felt that the mural was full of darkness and evil beauty, and was of great artistic value.
In her mind, she already had a title in mind, the title of the mural:
"The Last Supper!"
"Hermit" Gardelia has also never seen the statues of the six gods, only knows the ancient sun god, she subconsciously frowned, blurted out:
"The kings of angels?"
"Yes, at least the three around." Alger, the "Hanged Man", answered in the affirmative, but he wasn't sure who the swarthy baby sitting between the chest and abdomen of the Silver City Creator represented.
As he spoke, Alger glanced sideways at "Sun" Derick, and found that the young man's eyes were glazed over, and he seemed to have come to his senses.
The moment he saw the mural, the Sun's mind was filled with pain and despair.
He recognized the creator of the Silver City faith who was being eaten, and he also recognized the three around him as the "Eternal Sun", "Lord of the Storm", and "God of Knowledge and Wisdom"!
But then he thought of the words of the Lord who had come:
"I have lost my authority, my glory and my glory......"
This made him understand everything at once, and understood why, no matter how much the Silver City prayed, no matter how religious, how much it struggled, it could not wait for the return of the Lord, and the light was once again sprinkled on this once rich and beautiful land.
"No matter how much you repent, no matter how much you ask for forgiveness, Silver City will not be saved......" "Sun" Deric muttered to himself, "because God is dead and eaten......"
After a long silence, "Justice" Audrey said as if persuasively:
"Is this a twist on the legend that the three gods were born from the spirit of the Creator?"
The three gods? The eyes of "Hermit" Gadelia and "Moon" Emlin shrank at the same time, and they already figured out the general meaning of the mural and what it symbolized.
"Maybe, you can't explain the baby." "The Hanged Man" Alger responded.
He quietly glanced at Mr. "Fool", and saw that the other party was also looking at the mural, and then his gaze was slightly biased in the direction of "Sun" Derick, and pointed out calmly:
"You've seen Him."
He? Referring to that weird black baby? He is...... Darek came to his senses, and the sadness in his eyes was even worse.
There was also silence at the tarot meeting, and everyone exchanged surprised glances, realizing the truth hinted at by Mr. "Fool" -
The black baby is the "true Creator"!
From "the gods spread their faith in order to stabilize the state with anchors", to the "Last Supper" that subverts myths and the image of the gods, to "the real creator was born from the death of the ancient sun god", all kinds of hidden knowledge and enough to burn people at the stake echoed in the minds of everyone, and the nerves of the Tarot members gradually became numb in the impact again and again, and they had more views on the world.
β¦β¦
Ten o'clock that night.
In the calm evening without any sociality or feast, Mr. Daun Dantès washed up, took a pleasant hot bath, and then went back to his bedroom, and told his men to rest early to-night without disturbing them.
He lay down in bed and fell asleep normally.
After about two hours, Mr. Daun opened his eyes sharply, sat up from his bed, and got out of bed to change into his clothes briefly. Crane reached out and shook his hand, allowing a paper figure stand-in to lie down in the warm bed.
Then, his face began to change, becoming a tall strange man with brown hair and blue eyes.
Crane looked at his new face in the mirror, constantly adjusting some details, and referring to some people he had seen before, he pinched out a face that looked weathered with a bit of Southern Continent blood.
Driven by the "creeping hunger", he grazes Mr. X, passes through the "Traveler's Gate", and comes to the door of a small factory somewhere outside the city of Beckland, where a man in a gray cloak is already waiting.
Once again, Crane felt as if he was being watched by countless eyes, and he lowered the brim of his hat, simulating the bloodthirsty temperament of a pirate or mercenary, and slowly approached the figure standing at the base of the wall.
The cloaked man had apparently sensed the arrival of his guests as well, and he raised his head, revealing a dark green eye.
"Is that you?"
Crane scanned the cloaked man up and down with a downward gaze, and the cloaked man also carefully observed Crane.
"Hmm." Crane lowered the brim of his hat once more, and snorted in a somewhat nasal voice.
"Who guided you to join us?" The cloak with dark green eyes asked again.
Klein made up the words that had been prepared for a long time: "Louis Wayne, oh, while he was still alive. β
Mr. Z raised his eyebrows, somewhat distrustful of the newcomer whom the Dark Sage had personally asked to be treated with care, but the Sage had said so, and he would not show too much dissatisfaction.
"Name?"
"It doesn't matter." Klein looked at Mr. Z and said with a little arrogance, "If I want to go, you can't find me." β
"Well, it's good to have confidence, and Louis has always been confident that no one can catch him."
Mr. Z replied nonchalantly, and made a guess in his mind - this is a medium-sequence extraordinary person with strength and confidence in his own strength, with very good camouflage skills, and may be a well-known wanted criminal......
He laughed, took a few steps back, and beckoned to Klein, motioning for him to follow him forward:
"Let's go, then."
"The new 'X'."
