767

It was already dark.

After perfunctory God, seeing that the time was not too early, Edward packed up his things and planned to wander back.

Now there is nothing to do all day, the gods are busy with their own things, each guarding their own acres and threes of land, the demon of knowledge has safely absorbed some of the fugitive believers of the god of knowledge and wisdom, improved the basic education of Trier, and increased the number of years of compulsory education to ten years, I heard that he still wants to go up, but there are too few people who can afford to go to school and have time to go to school in this era.

As a result, the Demon of Knowledge began to promote evening classes, encouraging adults to work during the day and spend hours at night learning arithmetic and grammar.

Considering the current situation in Intis where you can find a job as long as you have your hands, night schools are widely popular with workers.

At the same time, the Demon of Knowledge also followed the examination system of the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom, and recruited many exiled believers to serve as teaching directors and marking teachers, which increased the efficiency of examination and correction several times, making the dark circles under the eyes of church members more and more serious.

The countries of the southern continent are struggling to recuperate, and the highlands are fine except for extreme poverty, but Byron is troubled by soaring mortality rates.

The policies that the Grim Reaper hadn't come up with before are now going in a bad way, but it doesn't really have much effect on the Grim Reaper, after all, the living and the dead are his anchors—and the only one who will worry about this is his own son, Azq Eggers, who is still alive.

Rune's situation has largely stabilized, and the shortcomings of binding relief and faith will not be reflected for a while. Unlike Intis, whose people's lives are getting better and better, the Visak Empire is now in tension, they have not taken much benefit from the previous war, and now they have to be wary of whether the God of Thunder will send troops to retaliate against their previous attacks, and the contradictions in the country have intensified a little.

But what does the disturbance of the gods of the earth have to do with Edward?

The highlands are considered their own territory, and the angels and demigods above have also learned not to see Him, and Edward touches fish every day except for fishing, and the life of the unemployed gods is so unpretentious and boring.

At this moment, another voice suddenly came to my head.

His half-body, who was in the forsaken land and didn't know what to do, reached out and said he had discovered something big.

"What's the big deal?" Having been to the Forsaken Lands and even lived there for a long time, Edward felt that he had no curiosity at all, but he asked out of respect for himself.

"I saw the mysterious acolyte that had been missing in the Godforsaken Lands."

The half-body's tone fluctuated slightly, sounding high-spirited: "What's even more interesting is that the state of this 'secret waiter' is still very interesting...... He seemed to be in a state where the ritual could be completed at any time, but he didn't make a promotion, which led me to a guess. ”

The first sequence of the "soothsayer" is "the mysterious waiter", this sequence is not easy to play, you can't praise Tianzun in your heart every day, or burn incense to Tianzun, right? Combined with the title of "Master of Mystery" at the top of the sequence, there is a strange feeling of turning over and becoming the master.

Edward felt his patience improve, too: "You say. ”

"What's the biggest difference between Godforsaken and the outside world? Now that there is sunlight here, the only difference is the 'spirit world'. ”

"Mystery is also the master of the spirit world, the high-order promotion ceremony of the three paths is indispensable to interact with the spirit world, I remember that the 'door' path has to walk in the spirit world very early and leave its own coordinates, so the high-sequence ritual of the soothsayer also needs the spirit world, this is very reasonable, right?"

Edward was already tempted to yawn, but as a sign of respect and value for himself, he asked:

"You mean that he is in a special state because the spiritual part of the ritual requirements has not yet been fulfilled, and as soon as he comes to the outside world, he can be immediately promoted to the 'secret attendant'? Then why didn't He come out sooner, worried about being targeted by Amon? ”

"I don't know."

Half of the body was full of interest, and as he walked, he said, "Isn't it more dangerous for Amun to stay here when Amon's body was in the land of God's forsaken earlier?" I chased after him and asked. ”

Edward listened a little strangely, not to mention that the communication only came on the fourth day after entering the God's Forsaken Land, this attitude of wanting to rush up to inquire about the situation when he saw a "secret attendant" who was about to be promoted was also very strange, he couldn't help but ask:

"What's going on with Klein these days?"

There was a sudden silence on the other side.

Immediately after that, the information channel was unilaterally closed, and no information was transmitted for a full five seconds. Edward was silent for a moment, then covered his face with one hand and sighed heavily.

……

"The young lady of the Hall family wants to buy some food in large quantities?"

The spinning dice in the cup stopped, and as they sat around the table, a flaxen-haired, good-looking "demon" raised his head and looked excitedly left and right: "We don't have a lot of backlog ......"

"Those things - those things were supposed to be sold to Rune for military rations at a low price."

The other demon looked at the cards in his hand slowly, and took advantage of the fact that the companion on the opposite side was not paying attention, and secretly made a thousand, and said quietly: "The head of the family originally saw the war period and was ready to attack the food on the front line, but as a result, Fusak's group of soft eggs only fought for a few months before they were afraid of the God of Thunder and retreated, so that our food was almost smashed in our hands, and there was no chance to sell it at all. ”

"I remember that the dry food made according to the army system was added to ......"

The purple-eyed demon lady who was betting with him hurriedly made a silent action:

"Shh......h Don't say it, it won't kill quickly anyway, that virus also needs time to accumulate and flare-up, and if it is used on the front line normally according to our plan, at least 100,000 people can be infected and directly become the walking dead dementia. ”

"But the anger is that the big head is smashed in his hands, and there are only more than a dozen people who are sick, and hundreds of thousands of losses have been lost, which can make the head of the family angry enough."

The flaxen-haired member of the North family nodded and asked in a low voice:

"Do you want to consider reselling this food to this Miss Hall?"

"The young lady of the Hall family also drank potions, and eighty percent is a medium and low order. I talked to the gossip little maid when I was sleeping the other day, and she swore to me that there was a maid who went crazy and wanted to attack Miss Hall, but Miss Hall's eyes suddenly turned golden, and the crazy maid was so frightened that she fell to her knees, and she was also scared half to death, but fortunately she was not noticed by the lady. ”

"Golden Eyes ......"

The demon lady of the North family frowned, and thought of something:

"Audience? Miss Hall is also a secret stake of the Psychological Alchemy Society? Well...... In terms of her identity, it is very reasonable, the Psychological Alchemy Society has many eyeliners in the upper and middle levels, and if a noble lady wants to be promoted safely and quickly, contacting the Psychological Alchemy Society is the best choice. ”

"Psychological Alchemy?"

The Psychological Alchemy Society seems to have angels in charge, and there is also a high-level sage of theirs in the territory of Beckland, the head of the family has not yet been promoted, I heard my grandfather say that he originally planned to indirectly and directly cause the death of more than a thousand people in the war, and then be promoted, and the result is ...... The Demon Lady racked her brains to recall some of the information that the family had circulated privately, and felt that this business was a little hanging.

Moreover, the development speed of the demon family is a bit fast this year, and the slightest inattention will attract the attention of the Rune Tax Bureau and MI9.

Now you still need to worry about the god of thunder, maybe this grumpy god of thunder will be unhappy and chop all his filthy demons into ashes...... Therefore, the North family made great efforts to send bribes to all levels of the Thunder and Truth Church, and also shrunk their power, took the initiative to donate some shares, and tried to find a noble daughter who believed in the god of thunder to marry as a show of goodwill.

"I'm afraid we can't control these things."

The Demon Lady shrugged, not wanting to get involved in the struggle between different extraordinary organizations at all: "We're just looking at the warehouse. ”

Fortunately, the managers on the surface of the factory are normal human beings who know nothing about the extraordinary, who have been promoted from among the workers and are grateful for the insight of the leaders, but when something happens to the factory or needs to be rectified, they are pushed out as scapegoats.

The demons who had just been promoted to Sequence 6 obviously didn't know much about the information of these organizations, but they still knew a lot of basic information that circulated in the extraordinary world. He reached for the cup containing the dice and asked in a low voice:

"The Psychological Alchemy Society seems to be an old organization, right? That...... So is this idea of buying food Miss Hall's idea, or is it the act of psychological alchemy that is ready to continue to buy people's hearts? It seems that we can't find a way to dump the backlog? ”

The demon lady scolded her companion in her heart for being stupid:

"That batch of food is not something we can decide."

"But it would be better to take ten thousand steps back and dump them on His Highness the Angel of Temperance...... The Angel of Temperance will certainly be able to make food harmless, even if he sees something wrong with it, he will use it to beat us up. ”

In the end, she made up her mind: "I'll report this information, and we won't decide what happens after that." ”

"If it's a trick of psychological alchemy to attract people's hearts, then let's pay a good tribute. If this innocent and lovely aristocratic lady wants to buy food alone, then dump the cake and bread leftovers that are about to spoil in the warehouse. ”

As she spoke, she grabbed the cup first, opened it, and saw a 3 and a 4 facing up, and the number of points was higher than the number just now.

A smile appeared on the Demon Lady's face:

"I'll win, so be it, I don't want money, I'm going to find me a young girl from your factory who has been a street girl."

The flaxen-haired young man who was worried about his colleague's lion opening his mouth breathed a sigh of relief and nodded with a smile.

Now the demon family doesn't have much else in their hands, but money, wealth, shares, and workers the most. Many of the workers were recruited from the East End, they had no identification, and their families worked in factories, so the "accident casualties" were easy. If you don't want to lose money, you can also let the whole family be killed or injured in a machine accident, or just find a hidden corner to clean up - other workers also work fifteen hours a day, not caring about the flow of people. In a large factory like theirs, where machines need to be operated, it's no surprise that new faces are seen every day.

"I'll get you the right person this week." He said in a brisk tone.

……

"Since you said it, the gray mist that sealed the Western Continent is almost the same as the gray mist flowing on the Source Fort."

Based on the information provided by Klein, Hermes speculated: "So, can this seal be regarded as a part of the Source Castle, as a part of the Spirit Realm Master?" We can try to pray to the gray fog or even offer sacrifices...... However, it is not known whether it will make the person on the source fort get the prayer, or whether it will make the person on the other side of the seal feel the change. ”

"It's more likely that this seal has been separated from the Source Fort for tens of thousands of years, and it has been unconnected for a long time." Klein said.

"Yes."

Hermes nodded, then looked at Medici again, "I have one more detail to add about what the Angel of War just told you. ”

"What is it?"

"It's not just the Lord of Mysteries who can open this seal, as long as it's an existence of the same level as the Lord of Mysteries, such as that God, or even ...... A certain person in the starry sky can also be. "So, the Lord of Mysteries doesn't have to be. ”

"I see." Crane nodded.

He then prepared to try to interact with the seal that was almost identical to the gray mist on the Source Fort. The "Staff of Life" has long been put back into the fog of history, and the cross that Medici is carrying is not suitable for the current situation, so Klein reached out and took out a small notebook the size of a palm in the fog of history, "Lenorman's Travel Notes".

Judging by the name and function of this book, Klein thinks that this should be the legacy of a "recorder", but it has not been confirmed.

The notebook still had the ability to record when Crane got it, and he flipped through it, and soon found the place where the record of "opening the door" was recorded.

For an "ancient scholar", this is the best way to use seals that will not be carried around for a long time in daily use, but the time limit is limited, and it cannot exceed three minutes at present, and the effect is somewhat different from the original.

Of course, if there was a prepared battle, Crane wouldn't do that, because that would take up one of his precious three summoning slots, which would be extremely uneconomical. Moreover, the seal itself is quite high, and Crane can't summon it in one go, often ranging from three to six times, which requires enough opportunities in a fierce battle, which is not so easy.

Holding the page of "Open the Door" with a special texture, Klein naturally conjured up a scene of the Illusory Door slowly opening in his mind.

He whispered in the ancient giant language, and soon, the gray mist surface quickly outlined a door that was not real enough.

The door was silently open, and there was still a gray fog behind it.

"Open the door" will not work...... Klein wasn't surprised by the result, but he was still a little disappointed.

He thought about it for a moment and prepared to take a different approach.

However, just as he was thinking, this illusory door suddenly fluctuated.

When Klein was thinking about the method just now, a picture naturally came to mind:

The sea of clouds between the two peaks "boiled" sharply, parting to the left and right, revealing a dark gap with no bottom visible, and the orange-red dusk light filled in it, forming a substantial path.

This is the scene created by Ulorius when he takes them from his dream to the dream projection of the "Court of the Giants".

And just when Klein felt that he didn't know enough about the corresponding ability, and planned to change the method, the "door" suddenly fluctuated again, and then the solidified gray mist was also "boiling", but not so violently.

They rolled upside down, parting to the sides, but the gray and white in front of them were endless, with no end in sight.

Crane sighed inwardly, paying attention to the control of his thoughts as he tried something else.

In three minutes, he made at least ten efforts, seven of which were of his own volition, and three of which were due to stress, but none of them could open the invisible barrier.

"It doesn't look like it's going to work right now." Hermes comforted Klein, "It's okay, there will be many opportunities in the future, maybe there are relevant classics in Moon City...... By the way, it's been so long, and the one on the source castle hasn't even cast his sight, so it can be seen that he won't pay attention here. ”

Klein nodded, not too disappointed, but a sense of helplessness that he didn't understand. Just as he turned around and was about to continue to Moon City, he saw a little fire light in the dark depths in the distance, flying from far to near.

At the head was an old man in a dark brown hide, with gray hair that hung down disheveled, and a face full of real furrows.

After the "High Priest ......" saw the other party's appearance clearly, an indescribable emotion suddenly rose in Klein's heart.

The one who came was none other than Nim, the High Priest of Moon City.

When he was still a "fool", he condescended to look at each other countless times, but only now, they stepped on the earth, at the same height.

Nimes walked ahead, looked at Crane Moretti, and the Medici beside him, crossed his hands and saluted:

"Distinguished guest, I am Nim, the High Priest of Moon City."

"Mooncity used to be a vampire city, but that civilization has been destroyed in ancient times.

"After that, we received the command of the great sun god, the Lord who created everything, and moved here to guard this gray mist, and tried accordingly, even if this land was cursed and the Lord no longer responded to us, and did not give up.

"Today, three thousand seven hundred and twenty-two years have passed."

I thought I was going to get better with a low-grade fever for a day, but it suddenly turned out to be 38 degrees, so scared that I hurriedly went out and hung up a water.
