Chapter 491: The Call
786
Lady Caitlyn and Anne's consciousness suddenly became blurred, and they stood in place, their eyes misty.
Audrey quickly looked around to make sure there was no second person in the hallway. Then she let go of her mother's arm and slowly pulled her arm out, but Mrs. Caitlyn remained motionless.
After using "hypnosis" to temporarily confuse the will of the two, the gold in Audrey's eyes slowly recovered.
Then she turned her head in the direction of the window, and sure enough, she saw the uninvited guest outside the window, dressed in a robe and covering his face with a hood, through the glass window and falling gently onto the carpet.
"You're Miss Audrey Hall?" The hood is pulled up a bit, revealing the face of a middle-aged man.
As a result of listening to the words of the true Creator for many years, even if the whispers ceased to be harmful, these words still had a great influence on the spirit of the "Secret Sage". From time to time, Boutis's eyes twitched strangely, taking on a look of madness and ferocity.
Facing the stranger's greeting, Audrey frowned slightly, made a thoughtful expression, and then asked "in surprise":
"Who are you?"
Except for Ms. D's occasional correspondence, no one in the Aurora Club knew him. Audrey had already figured out what kind of new personality mask she was going to use in Intis - just a few changes to the normal premise of "Audrey Hall", a young girl who was forced to leave home before she was 20 years old and never returned, and a female noblewoman with a large dowry who seemed to marry far away without a fiancé. It's not surprising to be alone in a foreign country, even if your personality becomes suspicious and aggressive.
However, she had already roughly guessed the identity and purpose of the other party.
The high sequence of the "apprentice" path that suddenly appeared here did not alarm Bishop Elektra and the surrounding middle sequence bodyguards, suspected of being a demigod - there was only one possibility, and that was the members of the Church of the Creator who came to take her to Intis.
The only thing Audrey is curious about is the identity of this member.
Because...... In the Tarot Society, the "magician" Furth once mentioned a person, which is quite consistent with his identity.
Sure enough, the other party answered her question:
"I am the 'Secret Sage' of the Church of the Creator."
Seeing the superhuman Sequence 5 lady in front of him showing a look of surprise and awe, his tone was slightly proud, and he directly reported his real name:
"I'll pick you up and take you to Intis."
"As a future compatriot, you can call me Boutis."
Audrey's eyes blinked, not hiding her surprise, she was sure that the "Sage of Secrets" had not discovered her true thoughts either.
"It's really him! A traitor to the Abrahamic family, tempted by the 'true creator', he led many students with foreign surnames to rebel against the Abrahamic family, and then became the 'secret saint' of the demigods with the help of the Aurora Society......"
Intis's psychological alchemy will take me away in such a hurry? Are they short of manpower? Do you think highly of me and want to make a good impression on me in this way? Or maybe they were very familiar with the current Cold War and immigration policies between the two countries, and decided that I could not leave as a nobleman, even in the name of a normal "engagement".
The surprise on Audrey's face didn't last long, she "quickly regained her composure", and with a little surprise that she was taken seriously, she asked suspiciously:
"It's an honor that the Psychological Alchemy Society actually invited a saint like you to pick me up! But, shouldn't it be the agreed departure date? ”
She counted the time, a little anxious.
The "Sage of Secrets" did not know what Audrey was thinking, and did not try to understand the inner activities of the "audience", he smiled and said bluntly:
"We are already compatriots who belong to the same church and believe in the same Creator, and you are excellent, and psychological alchemy will value you very much. Secondly, the relationship between the two countries is tense, and the church is worried that you will not be able to leave the country smoothly, so it chose me to bring you back. ”
Audrey wanted to frown for a moment - the meaning of this sentence is very clear, basically equivalent to "Now that international relations are tense, I will personally come to pick you up at a certain risk", the purpose of which is to make Audrey owe a small favor. She didn't expect that she still thought that she couldn't owe Herwin Lambis a favor on the front foot, and she would owe this guy on the back foot. What's more, Audrey didn't want to have anything to do with a traitor to the Abrahamic family, and if she did, she would rather fool Herwin Lambis before leaving.
But on second thought, Audrey was relieved.
It's not a big deal to owe a favor, her next goal is to go to Intis immediately, find a way to get the last missing ingredient in the potion, and then take the potion to the southern continent to save people as much as she can.
It is very dangerous to return to the Southern Continent, and if the "Secret Sage" is willing to help her, she can also repay this favor in other ways in the future.
Thinking of this, Audrey immediately showed a grateful look and agreed:
"I'm so honored!"
"Then, I'll leave with you now."
Boutis was very satisfied with Audrey's attitude, but was a little surprised: "Don't you need to say goodbye to your family?" ”
In his opinion, a girl who is not yet 20 years old suddenly wants to leave home permanently in the name of marriage and go to another country, no matter what, it is worth hugging her family and crying a few times.
Audrey smiled:
"Sooner or later, I've made my decision...... Let them think I'm gone. ”
With that, she quickly lifted her skirt and ran back to her room, changed into a pair of trousers and boots that made it easy to move, and then beckoned Susie to pack all her clothes, cosmetics, and jewelry, and then went straight to the laboratory that her father had assigned her, and took out all the potion materials that she had stored inside, which reinforced the many layers of spiritual walls, and put them in a spare suitcase.
Audrey's heart was pounding, she picked up her suitcase and returned to the hallway, where she began to hypnosis her mother and Anne.
"At noon today, Audrey has already left."
She looked at the faces of her mother and the personal maid who had been with her for more than ten years, and there was a moment of sadness in her heart:
“…… Audrey took all of her clothes, jewelry, and all her current cash. ”
For the sake of safety, she rode in the dark green carriage, which was inconspicuous, and left the main entrance of the mansion in the early afternoon, and arrived at the station without incident...... She will travel to the port of Enmat, from where she will take a boat to Byam, where she will be picked up by someone from the Montemar family of Intis. ”
With that, she began to construct dreams for the two of them.
Bottis looked at her curiously, watching the aristocratic lady hypnotize everyone in the mansion by mentally suggesting and constructing dreams one after another. Immediately afterward, he saw a large golden retriever dog with a large package in his mouth and laboriously dragged it down the hallway.
He saw "curiosity" in the dog's eyes.
…… Extraordinary animals? Butisto gave the Golden Retriever a few glances. At this moment, Audrey had finished this big project and ran back quickly:
"I'm all ready, and now I'm ready to leave for Intis."
As soon as Boutis was about to speak, Audrey's expression suddenly became serious, and she added, as if remembering something:
"By the way, my 'Dream Walker' potion has been fully digested, and the Sequence 4 potion is only one auxiliary material. I've found the location for the Sequence 4 promotion ceremony, but in case the timing is missed, I hope you can notify the Psychological Alchemy Society right now and lend me the supporting materials I am missing—if I am promoted, I am willing to contribute more to the church and complete more tasks. ”
Boutis's eyes widened, and he forgot to open the door for a moment.
……
A minute later, a spirit creature appeared in a tall building somewhere in Trier.
Once the mansion of a nobleman and an important councilor, it is now the office building of the former Psychological Alchemy Society, now the Creator's Church's Special Operations Group. A strange-looking spirit creature suddenly appeared, as if inspired by something, and flew into one of the rooms.
In this room, an old man is sitting in a soft chair basking in the sun.
He took the piece of paper from the messenger's hand, glanced at it briefly, and chuckled softly:
"The demigod potion is only missing the blood of the old soul dragon, and I hope to overdraw the merit in exchange for it in advance, and I am willing to return it twice......"
"It's a confident and action-driven child."
With the crunch of the soft chair, the old man sat up straight, he casually took a small bottle from his side, and then swiped his fingers, letting a few drops of golden blood fall into it, emitting a dizzying golden light in the sun.
These few drops of blood had been specially processed by him, and there was not much left of the high-level power of mythical creatures, and they would not have been seen or used to go crazy, but they were still a great gift, containing more spiritual power than the blood of ordinary elderly psychic dragons.
"It's time for some fresh blood here."
At last, the old man with white hair threw the bottle to the messenger, touched his chin and smiled:
"I'm supposed to be an old soul dragon, right?"
……
"We are about to arrive at the Cathedral of Light......"
Before Boutis could finish speaking, he suddenly saw that the spirit creature he had just let go of had run back, and the two little paws were holding a bottle of golden liquid and threw it directly into Audrey's arms.
Audrey Surprise:
"Let's turn, Your Excellency, and head straight to the Southern Continent! I decided to move up there! ”
But the Southern Continent is ...... Boutis's mind turned around the result of the "great danger" divination, which could make even a demigod who was good at running away, and Boutis didn't even have to think about how extraordinary the danger was there.
“…… My mission is to send you to the Cathedral of Light. "In short, he didn't want to go.
Audrey heard what he meant, and immediately pushed Susie beside her:
"It's my pet, and all my possessions. Please send them all to the Cathedral of Light for safekeeping, and then drop me down in the northern part of the Southern Continent, in the area where the Highland Republic is located—you just open the door and let me go, without any risk. ”
Boutis looked at Susie, and Susie looked at Boutis.
Susie's clear eyes, which widened to show her innocence and ignorance, reflected Boutis's expression of self-doubt.
787
After sending all the high-ranking members of the Abraham family to the designated location, the angel with white to black hair immediately went straight to his office.
In order to show respect for the gods, no one in the Cathedral of Mysteries can incarnate data transmission except for the god of mysteries, so he has to use the easiest way to run back.
On the way, suddenly a man called out to Him:
"Your Highness Edgar! Please wait a moment! ”
He turned his head and saw an elderly man approached, dressed in the most common scholarly robes in the church, with a pair of glasses perched on the bridge of his nose and a sparkle of wisdom in his brass-colored eyes.
He was a little more patient with the scholar: "What? ”
The old scholar smiled and said:
"I am a scholar arranged by the church to work with you to promote archaeological work, and I am also the vice president of the National Church College under construction, and I officially joined your project team today, do we now go to investigate the ancient ruins, or go to the National Library to restore and sort out ancient documents?"
Hearing that it was an appointed member of the church, Edgar really focused on the other party, looking up and down:
"Readers?"
"The Insightful." The old scholar blinked.
"Do you know what I'm asking for?"
"Yes." The old scholar looked serious, "You have quite a career in necromancy magic. ”
“…… Come on, then, if it slows me down, I'll turn you into my living corpse. Edgar only now remembered that he had indeed applied for an assistant with the church, and it seemed that the professionalism and sequence of this assistant were worth looking forward to, "Your name? ”
"Dragon Heras." The old scholar pushed his glasses and smiled intellectually, "Just call me Dragon." ”
……
Da, da.
Silver moonlight.
Crane looked up at the source of the distant footsteps behind him.
A figure was coming from the dark void, his face three-dimensional and profound, deeply shadowed by the white moonlight, unclear joy and anger.
He seemed to have long hair that was fluttering slightly in a gravityless environment, the black strands of hair and the black of the universe almost merging into one, and countless stars shimmering between the strands of his hair, as if they had become a part of Him.
And they were now standing very close, as if they were only twenty meters away.
"The Gate of Ten Thousand Gates", "The Starry Leader", Bethel Abraham—for the first time appeared in Crane's presence in such a real way, Crane looked at him, and Bethel looked at him as if it were within reach.
"You're really far away." The voice of the demon of knowledge came, "He is at the edge of the barrier, infinitely close to the stars. ”
Infinitely close, that is, not really "banished" to the stars, is it? If Bethel Abraham was in the starry sky, then perhaps he was not controlled and polluted by the Mother Goddess, but was directly accommodated by the Fallen Mother Goddess, who opened the door on the barrier and entered the ......
Just as Klein was thinking, Bethel was already looking at them and sneered meaninglessly:
"It seems that my descendants still chose to save me."
"Are you finally unwilling to waste any more time and are ready to find someone to take away my extraordinary characteristics?"
After saying that, Bethel narrowed his eyes, looked at Klein seriously for a moment, and after a moment snorted:
"Miracle Master."
The Demon of Knowledge did not respond to this question.
Crane didn't care about Bethel's cynicism about him, but asked strangely, "Why do you say, 'Your descendants still chose to save you?'" Isn't the full moon whispering your cry for help? ”
Bethel's originally unkind expression softened slightly, and after a short silence, he seemed to remember something, and whispered:
"I remember, I remember your voice......"
"You are the one who told 'me' about Abraham. I remember. You told me that my cries for help had become a talisman for my descendants, who had been tormented early. They either die because their promotions get out of control, or they commit suicide because they can't bear the torture. ”
"That's not me, though."
Bethel said in a flat tone:
"That was the second personality that the Fallen Mother Goddess gave birth to me...... She is the Mother of Life, a personality who surrenders to Him and will never tire of tempting everyone to save me, to summon me, and it seems that no one really hears my words. ”
Klein wondered, "So what exactly are you trying to say?" ”
Bethel looked at him and didn't speak.
The demon of knowledge in the back joined the conversation at this time: "Don't save me. ”
Don't save me...... Don't save me......
Even though Klein had been through so much now that he would no longer be directly polluted by Mr. "Gate's" screams, the content of those words made his scalp slightly numb, his pupils dilated, and it was difficult to contain the sudden panic in his heart.
He originally thought that Mr. "Door" had been calling for help, but now what he heard was:
"Don't save me!"
