772

There is no sudden decrease in the amount of water, and a sudden receding coastline is a precursor to a tsunami!

Looking at the sky outside that instantly became dark, Azk's eyes widened, and he didn't speak, but the spirit creature serving wandering in the room suddenly let out a sharp alarm sound:

"Enemy attack!"

"Enemy attack!"

The shrill hiss of the spirits was quickly echoed by all the spirit creatures and extraordinary beings in the palace, and wave after wave of sounds converged into a wave, and the aura of death in the palace suddenly became thicker, and the countless large necromancers sealed in the walls also showed signs of revival one by one.

After sending the danger signal, Azik's eyes were still fixed on the seashore, and the sound of the receding sea hitting his nerves one by one. Before the catastrophe came, a great panic had weighed heavily on his heart along with the dark sky.

Fortunately, in the natural environment, the tsunami has definitely begun. But at this moment, the sea was clearly under the control of the will of some being, and instead of attacking extremely quickly, it stood still for a moment as if waiting for something.

"What is the God of Thunder doing...... Threat? ”

Azik was a little uncertain, he unfolded his hands, which were already a little sweaty, and his body became illusory on the spot, and he entered the spirit realm.

The next moment, He appeared directly at the base of the large inverted pyramid altar built across the sacrificial passage from the Royal Palace. Unlike the Byron Palace, which was regarded as the political center, the main leaders of the former Spirit Order and the current Church of the Death are active here, including the other "Death Archon" of Byron, the religious leader, Hetel.

It seems that today's evening prayer has not yet begun, and the members of the church are quietly staying in the dark, or meditating, or communicating with the necromantic beings, or praying to the god of death. The High Priest Haitel was closing his eyes and communicating spiritually, and not far away, the believers who had volunteered to sacrifice themselves to the gods were waiting for the prayer ceremony to begin.

As he passed by the reverent, expectant sacrifice, Azik couldn't help but frown.

He lived in the Northern Continent of the Fifth Age for more than 200 years, and it was instinctively difficult for him to accept the act of human sacrifice, which was dubbed by the Northern Continent as "bloody, brutal, barbaric, and uncivilized".

But Azik also had memories of the Fourth Age, and he knew that this was a great concession to the Church and the Grim Reaper.

After all, the act of using a living sacrifice only a week and giving a family reward for the sacrifice is simply merciful in view of the Church of Death's habit of turning entire cities into land of the dead.

"Hetel!"

Azik looked away from the sacrifice and said to the high priest:

"The sky outside is dark, and the sea is gathering."

He didn't need to say whose handiwork it was, and there was no one who witnessed Intis being submerged by the waters of the five seas, and there was no one who was not intimidated by that power.

Hetel opened his eyes, looked at the consul of Byron in front of him with dark eyes, and whispered: "Your Highness Azk, the Lord's meaning is very clear, we don't need to pay attention to the changes outside, it has nothing to do with us. ”

Although the two archons are equal in sequence and power, and even Haitel is stronger than Azik in terms of national influence, the other party is the son of the Grim Reaper, and there are almost no high-ranking people in the Church of the Grim Reaper who do not have the blood of the Eggers family, and it is even more amazing to calculate the seniority carefully. Therefore, Azik is actually a little higher than him in terms of status.

"The target is not us, that is, the high ground?"

Azik relaxed a little, but the tension in his heart still didn't dissipate much, he thought of the fact that the living and the dead in the Bailang Empire were about to 1:1, and hurriedly said: "Since there is a disaster in the highlands, why don't we send some people to the highlands to rescue?" After all, we are still on the same continent as the highlands, and we are neighbors, so we can express it. ”

Hetel glanced up at Azik, shook his head, and said:

"The Lord did not allow it."

As Azik was about to ask, Hetel explained.

"What's more, there is no need for rescue, there are only two million people left in Intis under the attack of the God of Thunder, the total population of the Highland Kingdom is not more than 10 million, there are no god-level powerhouses, and the strongest 'Angel of Temperance' is only sequence one, there are fewer than Intis, how many people can survive?"

"However, if we want to absorb some new population, we can just wait until the Highlands fall to absorb the survivors. When they are rescued after a disaster, they will be more grateful to us and will quickly convert. ”

Hetel straightforwardly analyzed the pros and cons of the whole thing, and after finishing speaking, he looked at Azik, who was speechless for a while, and said:

"That's what the Lord means."

Azik couldn't help but snort.

He didn't mean to dismiss Hetel's words, after all, this angel had already received the gift of death, and he was the most devout god, and there was no way he could make decisions or lie. He is infallible and reliable in being the messenger of his own Father.

Although the goal is to gain some new population, I want to be able to save them before disaster strikes, and you don't think it's necessary, and even this may anger the god of thunder, so you choose to rescue them after the disaster...... But isn't this a robbery while the fire is on?

Azk stopped talking, opened his mouth slightly, and after all, he didn't say this sentence in front of the high priest of the Church of the Grim Reaper.

He was silent, nodded, and returned to his palace.

After sitting down again, Azik felt depressed and irritable in his heart, and the sound of the waves in his ears hit his tense nerves in waves. At this moment, he saw Klein's letter again, which had just been opened and had not yet had time to read it, and while his heart became a little softer again, he couldn't help but sigh deeply, long, and in frustration.

"You can't do what you want to do, as an angel, you are not allowed to save some people from disasters, and you can't even guarantee the safety and happiness of believers and people in your own country......"

His fingers gripped the letter so hard that it left deep wrinkles in the envelope and stationery.

"Klein, if you see me like this, you will be surprised, and then very disappointed......"

There was silence for a long time, and finally, Azik reluctantly unfolded the letter, flattened it, and then put it aside for the time being.

He was no longer in the mood to read the letters.

Spiritual Realm, Calderón.

The clouds directly above the palace of Byron shook and gradually reduced to a giant eye. The eye was facing the shore, and a moment later a gust of wind blew and the eye disappeared with the movement of the clouds.

"Leodro is forcing me to show his attitude."

The Grim Reaper stopped prying into the outside world, frowned slightly, and his expression became calm again, he coiled around the river without any mood fluctuations, and there was a faint sneer on his face with human features.

"How can I help the highlands, the birth of that country is just the god of bondage to snatch the anchor in order to take advantage of the chaos after my death."

The small states in the north and south of the southern continent were basically gradually established after the fall of the Grim Reaper, with the purpose of rebelling against Byron's rule. Torzner, the god of bondage, chose Renette Tinicol as her dependant to help her father establish the Highland kingdom and unify the north in faith.

"If I reveal that I want to protect this country, then Leodro will attack with the Byron Empire......"

It makes little difference to the god of death whether the people are alive or dead, and even the vast majority of people become more religious after seeing the god after death, because they have no choice but to rely on the god of death at the same time as they see the god, so the god of death does not care about Azik's efforts.

However, Leodro's thunder authority can really make the god of death feel the danger - thunder has been one of the symbols of strong positive power since ancient times, and the purification of necromantic creatures is the main function of thunder, and in this regard, it can even surpass "sleep" and "sunshine" in an echelon.

The Grim Reaper tugged at the corners of his mouth and snorted indignantly.

The people are still their own believers after death, but if there is a fight with Leodro, as long as Leodro's lightning storm can plow all the land of the Byron Empire in a very short time, or plow it on the Grim Reaper, then even if he does not kill the Grim Reaper, he will lose a large number of anchors in an instant and fall into temporary mental instability.

He has a certain connection with the tributaries of the River of Eternal Darkness, and Leodro probably won't kill him directly, which will cost him a huge price.

- But it is absolutely possible to smash Him hard, and then watch the God of War and the Night beat Him down on the Water Serpent!

Therefore, even under the premise that they were all single-path true gods who did not contain essentia, the god of death was still more willing to fight with his other two old acquaintances of the adjacent path than Leodro.

"Threaten as much as he threats, but it's a pity that he thinks too much."

"I'm not going to give Him an excuse to attack."

“…… Because the Heights have no value at all, and they are not qualified to be allies with me, and now the leader of the Rose School is even more insane. Although we are on the same continent, I don't agree with Him either. ”

The Grim Reaper laughed coldly and continued to observe the outside world with a play-like mentality.

He had the same idea as His High Priest.

If the Highlands were to be destroyed at the hands of the God of Thunder, countless people would surely die in an instant, and this would undoubtedly be a good opportunity to replenish the anchor. After all, in terms of direction, could the "Angel of Temperance" still have more control over the spirit than the "destination of the dead"?

……

Highland. 4:20 p.m.

"Miss Orr? Miss Orr, wake up. ”

Audrey was awakened by a gentle push, and she opened her eyes a little confused, surprised to find that she had fallen asleep at some point.

And a young girl stood beside her, with the darker complexion common to Southern Continentals, common black eyes, and common brown hair tied into a long braided back, this girl was a standard Southern Continental.

As a Sequence 5 extraordinary, she was so energetic that it was very rare and dangerous to fall asleep outside of her own home, and Audrey herself was a little surprised, but she quickly figured out what the problem was:

During this time, there were many things busy in both the North and South Continents, and in the absence of Mr. Dwayne Dantès, almost all of these things were pressed on Audrey. Even with the help of Susie and the Foundation, she was still tired day and night, working non-stop.

It's just that she didn't expect that she was so tired that she fell asleep at work in the afternoon.

Audrey rubbed her face, quickly adjusted her state, then sat upright, and said with a smile to the little girl who had awakened herself:

"Ana, how long have I been asleep? Is there something urgent going on in the hospital? ”

The girl known as Ana smiled embarrassedly, compared with Miss Orr, who has a generous and mature personality, she looks a little shy, which is common to people in the Southern Continent: "No, last week was little Dawin's seventh birthday, and in order to celebrate his birthday, and to celebrate that he was finally cured of his non-talkative illness, Mama Martha's mother made a delicious butter cake, and I want to invite Miss Orr to eat with you." ”

Ah, I remember.

After being reminded, Audrey immediately found the corresponding patients and events from her memory.

"That's great news!"

Overjoyed, she quickly stood up and straightened the hem of her clothes. It is the child who is always immersed in his own world, and in the words of the professional book of the Psychological Alchemy Society, which classifies mental illness, that condition is called "autism", and many patients have similar conditions, but they are not taken seriously...... She was primarily responsible for the child's illness:

"Lady Martha is overrated, but I didn't do anything other than enlightenment and necessary companionship, it was Lady Martha's care and Darwin's own efforts that got better."

"Miss Orr, you're really amazing." Ana said in a tone of envy and admiration.

"No, I'm not a great doctor, and I can't do a lot of things."

Audrey was a little emotional, she thought of what happened to her not long ago: "...... If only I had been a real doctor, if I had more treatment than the psychological and spiritual aspects, that gentleman would not have died. ”

Recalling what she had experienced for a few seconds, Ana fell silent at first, and then said thoughtfully:

"Miss Orr, you've done a lot, and death is something that can't be done."

"If I could, I would like to become a doctor and help more people like you in the future."

Audrey sighed: "The death of a father is so small for the whole city, it can happen every day, even more than one, but for his children and his family, it is a big event that can change the fate of the family.

"In the same way, everyone will die and be buried, but that doesn't mean that the period from birth to death is meaningless."

Audrey said again in that self-deprecating tone:

"I know all these things, but when I see it with my own eyes, I still can't control my emotions."

"As a 'psychiatrist', I need someone else to explain ......"

Ana smiled shyly:

"You're right, but it's normal. That's why we need friends, and I need to communicate with friends to ease some of my emotions. ”

Audrey bowed her head lightly and said:

"Hmm...... That's right.

"So I've figured it out, do what I can and leave no regrets."

She gradually adjusted her mental state and said with a smile:

"Let's go."
