"The economy of Intis is declining, and a decline of this magnitude may require state intervention, and employment is also falling......"

With the true Creator thinking divergent and the current situation in the country basically stable, and the change of blood in the church is almost complete, she rarely finds some time to observe the current situation of Intis, and by the way, to understand the current changes in the market through the prayers of the people. - Because of the change of faith, some devout and unacceptable believers chose to leave with their faith, and most people in Intis were more concerned about whether the Church of the Creator would be better or worse than the Church of the Eternal Sun.

The current answer is that the Creator's church is better.

While there was a high level of acceptance (and even laughter and so) of going to hell for doing evil and going to heaven for doing good, the openly extraordinary presence did generate some panic in the country, but fortunately the Church was able to clear nests of witches from Trier and all over the country, while banning many hidden gatherings of the Extraordinary.

The Church identifies these wild and extraordinary people through extraordinary means, recruits suitable characters into the Church as supernumerary members and then investigates, and restores the inappropriate ones on the spot, and collects a large number of characteristics and extraordinary items into the management of the Church.

This move destroyed the normal extraordinary ecology of Intis, removed the eyes of a large number of hidden organizations, and almost cut off the channels of wild extraordinary, but also successfully maintained law and order, made the extraordinary public, standardized, and turned them from urban legends into popular consensus.

The Church now has sufficient resources to cultivate multi-channel Extraordinary, but due to the constraints of the times and technology, although the True Creator is eager to cultivate some mid-to-high sequences of the Storm Path as soon as possible to generate electricity, in fact, the highest vote in the Church is the "Cultivator".

In the previous disasters, the country's already abundant marine resources have been hit hard, and some of the coastal fields and mountains that could have been used for normal production have also been polluted, if the real creator does not take the initiative to purify, then Intis's food production this year will plummet, the country will have to rely on imported food to feed its citizens, and a large number of poor people will starve to death in various cities and villages.

"Let's clean it up before we go."

The mess left by the abyss's erosion of reality, it's a good thing that not many people died.

"Let's go back and contact that thoughtful Frank...... According to the report submitted by Crane, the survivors who can be contacted in the Eastern Continent have accepted Frank's work well, and if those mushrooms are acceptable, then if the land situation is investigated, the wheat flour can be gradually increased, and the chicken and mashed potatoes can be gradually delivered......"

“…… Of course, the most important thing is to wait for Crane to have the ability to bring them out. ”

Crane has been in sequence 4 for a month, and it seems that his mentality has not changed...... The True Creator frowned and continued to answer the prayers.

Some of the merchants are worried that the Church of the Creator will continue to perpetuate the unspoken rules of their previous and Eternal Sun Churches, because the new church has shown too much toughness, and their bodyguards and subordinates, the wild extraordinaries who have the power to kill most people in the extraordinary hidden world, are now being beaten by the church one after another. After losing their backers, the industries that had relied on the church to turn a blind eye and generate huge profits were forced to shut down.

The church of this part of the people has no time to take care of it for the time being, and will talk about it when it is free to settle.

There are quite a few things that can be solved by Extraordinary, and other than that, only the problem of people's livelihood remains.

"There is no better way to develop it during the war, so let's see if the solar panels of the Steam Church have been developed."

The True Creator answered the prayer for a while and gave an oracle to several of the more important priests in the church at the moment - the position of the pope of the church is still vacant, although I don't know if there will be a pope, but the priests who have just ascended to sequence 3 are full of energy.

No sooner had the thought crossed her mind than a familiar prayer struck.

"Your pressure plan has been relatively successful, and the witch has successfully conveyed her last words and instigation to the people of Rune."

The demon's unhurried voice came from the prayer, and she seemed to have something to say, and the true Creator immediately felt that something was wrong.

"The Kingdom of Rune sent an army to suppress it?"

"A little bit more powerful than repression."

"You have succeeded in arousing the anger of the people and putting pressure on the country, but George III is remarkable, she put in the airships that the Vorsac Empire came to attack, bombed the marching crowd, and now there are no angry people left in Bakeland." ”

On the streets of Beckland, Edward looked at the black stains on the ground, and said with some mixed feelings and a little funny:

"I think I'm right, humans are actually more diverse than demons."

It took a full second for the real creator's mind to process the message, her vision connected to the eye that had been with Edward, and she raised her voice in disbelief as she looked at the ruins and deserted streets in front of her:

"George III put airships in and bombed the marching crowd?"

"That's right."

With more than a thousand deaths, reaching out and grabbing a handful in the air can catch a hand of resentment and residual resentment. Edward took a breath, feeling that the concentration of unwillingness and pain in this place was completely exceeded. She was about to leave the bloody, but bloody, street, when she suddenly turned straight and said to the true Creator in a solemn and sonorous voice:

"I'm going to kidnap you now, if it weren't for your intent on spreading the word about the witch, how could the victims of Beckland get together? If they hadn't come together, they wouldn't have been killed by the airships, and even if they were bombed, they shouldn't all have died, so you killed so many people, allies, repent! ”

"I think you're bored."

The True Creator sneered: "Don't blow up the airship, come and talk about my cool words." Then I ask you, how is Crane now? ”

"Probably a little psychological injury, I see that he has been here alone for a long time, and it doesn't look normal."

"He happens to be nearby?"

"I wasn't there at first, but I passed by later."

The True Creator was silent for a moment: "What did he do after he came?" ”

"I did what I could."

"He cleared the crowd of people who were fishing in troubled waters, saved some people who were almost stampeded, and then protected the surrounding crowd. ”

"And then?"

"And then the bombardment of Fursac came." Edward said, "Crane searched for a survivor for a while, but he couldn't find it, so he left, probably because he had something else to do." ”

There was a few seconds of silence between the two.

"It's really what you can, and it's really everything you can do, right?" The demon asked, "Are you satisfied, ally?" ”

“…… There's nothing wrong with that. The True Creator said.

She was silent for another second and changed the subject:

"Come back, Fursack won't let go of this opportunity, the intensity of the war will get bigger and bigger in the future, don't stay there. Prepare for the end of the week and head to the Eastern Continent. ”

Beckland, Queens, inside the study of the Hall family.

After returning home, the Hall family, who had been tense all the way, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and Mrs. Caitlyn hurriedly pulled Audrey to change her clothes, seeing Audrey's disheveled appearance, and half of her skirt was still torn and dragged at her feet, the always elegant Countess almost fainted.

"Oh my God, my dear, your shoes!"

Despite Audrey's repeated careful hiding, her mother found the shoe with a broken heel. Mrs. Caitlyn hugged her little daughter distressedly, "Dear Audrey, we really shouldn't let you go to the Foundation alone......"

Audrey recalled, and the heel seemed to have broken when she fell on the road.

However, the high heels were also very inconvenient when escaping, and they got stuck in the gaps of broken bricks several times, and with the extraordinary body control, they did not fall frequently on the road. After breaking off, it is still inconvenient to go high and low, and there is no feeling.

She hurriedly said, "No, Mom, I'm already a mid-sequence extraordinary, and this time it's an emergency. I'm a trustee of the foundation, and this is my first job, and I can't help but be involved. ”

Mrs. Caitlyn held her daughter in her arms and gently stroked her silky blonde hair:

"You're right, baby, but you might have to work in a different place in the future."

Audrey breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, and smiled: "That's great, Mom, 22 Pacefield Street has been destroyed, we need a new office building, I have some suggestions......"

Lady Caitlyn paused, and changed the subject somewhat stiffly, "I'll talk about that later, dear." ”

"You change your clothes first, let's go to the study, Dad has something to say to us."

With that, she let go of her daughter and beckoned the dressing maid to bring up her comfortable loungewear.

Audrey was a little surprised, she looked at her mother's expression, and vaguely felt that the development of things seemed to be a little different from her imagination. She nodded silently, raised her arms, and began to change into clothes that she could not put on her own with the help of the maid.

One, two, three...... Audrey counted her clothes, and the torn and dirty clothes on her body were replaced one by one, and they would be thrown away. And petticoats, skirts, tunics, and outer skirts are changed one by one. The loose hair was recoiled, the delicate jewelry was put on one by one, and Audrey became Miss Hall again.

She felt herself getting heavier little by little, and it seemed that she intuitively felt the weight of "decent".

And the mother's face gradually smiled, and she finally became the familiar one that everyone remembered.

"The kitchen is preparing dinner, baby, let's go to the study first." Lady Caitlyn smiled and took her daughter's arm and led her into the main hall, "You can eat more today, and if you have any dessert you want to eat, you can tell the kitchen." ”

"Okay, Mom." Audrey had to hide her emotions and show the same sweet smile as before.

They walked up the stairs of their homes to the study, and when they were allowed to enter, they pushed the door in.

Earl Hall and Hibbert seemed to be discussing something, and when they came in, Hibbert finally breathed a sigh of relief and smiled and nodded at his sister.

"The current situation......" Count Hall sighed when he heard this.

He suddenly brought up something unrelated: "Audrey, how are you getting along with your pen pal lately?" ”

Audrey, who had just sat down, didn't expect her father to suddenly question her, she thought about it and answered truthfully:

"She gave me a lot of useful advice and invited me to her home."

Count Hall twisted his pretty mustache, Hibbert breathed a sigh of relief, and Audrey looked at them strangely.

"Dad, what's the matter?"

"It's nothing, dear."

Earl Hall gently soothed his daughter, and then said, "Audrey, it may be cruel to say that, but you may be ending your tenure as a director of the Foundation. We may have to move, move to Intis and start a new life. ”

"But it's okay, you'll have a new foundation, you'll have new friends, and our lives won't be affected."

Uproot?

Audrey didn't react for a moment.

Moving to Intis?

"Dad, are you thinking about surrendering?" Hibbert asked, somewhat surprised.

Count Hall bowed his head lightly and sighed again: "How could I not consider this situation now? ”

"When the time comes, you'll be the new Earl Hall."

Audrey listened to the conversation between her brother and her father, she opened her mouth, not holding back her surprised voice: "Are we leaving Rune?" Father? Why are we leaving? ”

Leaving Rune? Don't want the Foundation anymore? A lot of people we sponsor have just been bombed, they are in desperate need of food and jobs, and even family members have been killed, and if I leave at this time, it will be tantamount to letting them ...... Is it?

No, we are the nobles of Rune, why go to Intis?

Isn't the aristocratic Madri loyal?

In front of his daughter, Earl Hall didn't want to say it too bluntly, so he chose a more roundabout and euphemistic way:

"None of us knows how long the war will last, and Rune is dangerous, and each of us is dangerous."

"I've lost a child and don't want to lose you anymore."

At the mention of Alfred, all three of them fell silent, and even Audrey became depressed and did not question her father again.

"The war has lasted so long, they have also killed a lot of people, many fields are deserted, prices in the cities are skyrocketing, there must be a strong demand for food, for pastures, for woodland, plus my stake in the Bank of Intis Suchit, and part of the shares of the Bank of Bavat and the Bank of Beckland, I should be able to buy them, hehe, at this time, only if the requirements in this regard are met first, can we talk about kinship."

Intis and Rune were often married, and many nobles were relatives of each other, especially the Vapor believers.

Hibbert listened with a stir and was quite puzzled:

"Dad, what about you?"

Count Hall replied with a wry smile:

"Your mother and I are both devout believers, and we also have a certain status in the church, and when Rune falls and the church falls, if we are not willing to leave the front desk, the ending will not be happy."

Speaking of this, he comforted his eldest son:

"As long as the Hall family is still there, the title is still there, and the loss of core assets is not much, we will not have a miserable old age, after you convert to steam, remember to prepare a secret prayer room for us at home."

As they spoke, Audrey sat beside her mother in a daze, listening to her father and brother like an outsider.

She suddenly thought of something and whispered to her mother:

"Mom, who the hell is my pen pal? Isn't she just a young lady whose family is engaged in philanthropy? Who the hell is she? ”

Mrs. Caitlyn glanced at her husband and son, and whispered to her daughter:

"You'll see her later, Audrey, don't be nervous. She will be your new friend and our new friend. ”

Once Rune was defeated and his family fled to another country, he had to send people to the fence, losing most of his family property, leaving only the part of his livelihood and losing his decent life. Even if you can make a comeback, it will be difficult to return to the way it used to be...... That's probably all good.

She looked at her beautiful daughter and sighed in her heart.

……

"Mr. Dantès."

Richardson, who had been promoted to assistant housekeeper, did not find the personal servant Enyuni, so he took the initiative to knock on the door outside the study and called to his employer: "Mr. Dantès, dinner has been prepared, please go down to the dining room to eat." ”

"Okay, I'll go right away."

The mellow voice of his employer came from the door, and Richardson answered, turning to leave.

Crane put down the paper crane in his hand and took a deep breath. His face squirmed for a moment, turning into that of Dwayne Dantès.

He had been staring at the crane for a long time, wondering if he would return to his home and end the parade if he used the "restart" ability revealed by Will Unsetin, the Serpent of Mercury, on those marchers.

"No, it's useless, people's resentment won't stop, and even if they let them go back, it's only brewing a second or third time."

Crane took another deep breath.

His luck, or rather Benson and Melissa's, was delayed for a while, but by the time he reached the West End, both siblings had safely retreated into the underground area unharmed. Crane hid in the crowd and secretly protected them until the bombing was over, when he returned to 160 Berlund Street.

A deep sense of anger and powerlessness welled up in his heart, and he shook his head vigorously, trying to shake the negative emotions out for a while, but to no avail.

He was dressed and went downstairs to eat as usual. After dinner, Crane washed up as usual, went to bed, and didn't say anything for the night.

Early the next morning.

At breakfast, Walter, the dutiful butler, brought the latest Beckland Morning Newspaper of the day, and Crane spooned the pie and flipped through the paper.

He saw a proclamation from George III in the name of Emperor Rune.

“…… I would like to express my deep condolences over the tragedy that happened yesterday in Beckland, where members of the self-proclaimed 'Witch Sect' instigated the people with lies that distorted reality, causing them all sorts of chaotic and unreasonable acts, causing great disasters to Beckland. ”

“…… It is my heavy duty to tell you that our people suffered great losses in the attack on Vrsac. ”

"Is all Fersak is doing to us a bombardment that takes lives? No, our soldiers guard the frontier and protect our people with their lives and blood...... We have lost so many lives, they could have had a better life, but they have died in the war,"

"Fusak destroyed it all."

Crane calmly finished reading the text on the page, he let go of his hand, and a twisted iron ball slipped from his palm.

He suddenly became interested in the Sequence 3 potion recipe.
