Chapter 55: Corruption (3)
"I'm here."
Strange space, Trenthorst's expression distorted, and he responded briefly but favorably.
He never replied to such a boring prayer, just a request for answer, without any other substantive request. At the same time, he was a little frightened, thinking that the man was willing to believe in himself, but not the "Lord of Order", which would offend him to His Highness the "Children of Chaos"!
"I'm here!"
A simple word made Basel tremble on the spot, so excited that his eyes were covered with joy, and he almost shed tears of joy.
This made Gleilynt very incomprehensible.
"Your Excellency, it's time for you to keep your promise...... Also, I want you to tell me what's going on here. ”
Basel wiped his eyes, wiped away the joy that had not overflowed, and no longer with vigilance, replied sincerely:
"Yes, Your Excellency."
Glerint didn't know what had made him change his attitude so radically.
The next moment, Basel bowed his head and whispered in the Old Hermetic according to the honorific name that Glerint had just given:
"O child of chaos who looks down on the high dimension! You are the dictator of the world of order! You are the Lord of the Rules and the Master of Chaos.
I sincerely pray for your attention, I sincerely ask for your salvation, and I believe in you. ”
As soon as the words fell, in the order and rules in all directions, this response came to him at the same time:
"I see."
They overlap and merge with each other, ethereal and clear.
Really able to respond!
Basel's head was buried, and the bloodshot pupils in his eye sockets were full of shock. Although he had just prayed successfully to His Majesty Trenthorst, and although the messenger who claimed to be the "Lord of Order" had been trusted by Trensost, he had expected such an outcome...... But when the response was actually delivered, he couldn't help but feel very frightened.
"It's 'the end is near'! Something ancient, unknown has re-descended on this land. ”
He sighed inwardly, not noticing that Glerint's eyes suddenly lost focus and froze for several seconds.
That's a high-level response.
Consciousness fell, his spirit suddenly became relaxed, and the potion digested a large ......
"Is this the corruption of 'might'? But why is my potion digestion progressing faster than expected? And it's more than a lot! ”
Basel was quick to answer his doubts:
"Your Excellency, I can tell you why."
Gleilint nodded, watched him pick up the enamel teapot next to him and poured a large mouthful of water, stretched out his right palm and gestured diagonally down to the sofa next to him, and said quietly:
"You may be seated first."
Glerint had a wealth of experience in talking to "ostensibly high positions", and did not feel uncomfortable with Basel's politeness and respect, and calmly sat down on the sofa next to him, leaning back, watching him diligently pour tea for himself.
From the moment he prayed to the "Lord of Order", Gleilynt was not afraid that he would attack him.
He would never dare to do this under the watchful eye of the true God.
This is not to say that there is no possibility of betrayal of faith, but that after being marked, watched, and watched by the true God, if you want to betray, you must bear the price of betrayal.
And the relaxation of the atmosphere between the two sides here is not pretended.
"Yes, Your Excellency.
I think you should see that in the kingdom's army, I was only valued for strength, not enough power and attention. ”
To put it simply, he is a high-end thug.
Glerint raised his right hand and said:
"Informally, just call me Glerint, you don't have to be so polite...... Also, when you pray to our Lord, remember to add two parts of the name to recite...... The last two stanzas are 'Your servant is the Emperor above the spiritual realm'. ”
What's the point?
Obviously, you can respond to the three-paragraph honorific name, but you have to add two paragraphs bluntly? Is it to prevent the leakage of the honorable name to arouse the alarm of the Orthodox Church?
Basel was undoubtedly at a loss, but he had just converted and felt that he had no qualifications, so he didn't dare to ask more, nodded honestly, motioned for himself to write it down, and then said:
"Yes, Lord Glerinte, the reason why this is happens, of course, is because I don't have the surname 'Augustus', my name is 'Basel Trenthorst', and I am a descendant of the Night Emperor."
I see!
Glerint suddenly understood how his potion digestion progress had come from:
There is both the persecution of Basel by "power" and the influence of "family affection" on his choice...... For a "corrupt baron", all means of changing the goal to one's own benefit can be considered a form of "corruption".
"Interests, power, affection, or by extension, affection...... It's all a means of 'corruption', so what else? Beauty? This seems to be the most common corruption along with interests, power? It is also something that can deceive and corrupt people's hearts. ”
The idea went off track, and then it was pulled back by Glerint.
"So Basel turned out to be of Trenthorst's blood? It makes sense, I didn't think in this direction at all before, ignoring his dark yellow hair color and his blood-colored pupils. ”
The red pupil is the characteristic of the blood clan, and the original queen of the blood clan, the "god of beauty" Ornia is the queen of Trenthorst, so the blood of the Night Emperor has the characteristics of the blood pupil, but on the contrary, it is basically not valid to infer the blood of the Night Emperor with the blood pupil, most of them are currently blood clans. So Glerint always ignored the problem, including when he was in the Valley of the "Bronze Bell of Order".
As he pondered, Basel continued:
"And the extraordinary characteristics of my promotion, the '0' level seals I am in charge of are not from the Augustus family, only the potion formula is...... I must repent to you, to your Majesty, for the restoration of His glory, for the restoration of faith in the country. After the inheritance of the potion formula was severed, my branch borrowed the surname of another family and chose to go incognito, falsely claiming to have intercepted a '0' level seal during the 'War of the Four Emperors', so as to become a vassal of Augustus. ”
No wonder it can only be used as a thug.
There was a '0' level seal, and Augustus was definitely unwilling to let go, but it was unrealistic for Basel to hand it over. As a result, Basel had no potion recipe and could not find a reliable external force to help smash the seals and achieve extraordinary trait promotion. And the royal family will never give them the "balancer" potion recipe and sit back and let them become an angel family.
Of course, the premise of this speculation is:
"That '0' seal corresponds to a 'balancer' extraordinary trait?"
"Your wisdom is like the sea, Lord Glerinte."
"Then you can try to accumulate contributions, and ask my Lord for the 'Balancer' potion recipe, and ask Him to help break the seal...... Don't ask for strength from His Majesty of Trenthorst for a moment, the betrayers of Augustus and Castile are watching him. ”
In fact, strictly speaking, Augustus and Castile cannot simply be defined as traitors.
After all, in the eyes of outsiders, Trenthorst has completely fallen into the "War of the Four Emperors", and the key is that their later leadership of the Northern Continent is considered the will of the Seven Gods, because they need to redistribute the benefits, so these two families are not the initiators of subjective betrayal.
I just don't know if they sent someone to hunt down the Trenthorst bloodline later?
Presumably, there must be, it seems that the blood clan has also been very seriously affected by this, and now they can only retreat to the deep mountains and dark corners of no one to maintain the continuation of the race. And the objective fact now is that the two "hands of order" characteristics have also been divided between them, and the southern part of the northern continent under the control of the Trenthorst Empire has also been divided among them, so from the position of Trenthorst, it is of course no problem to call them traitors.
Basel was not surprised, and even felt that it was very reasonable, if the ancestor of Trenthorst had left to protect the family, he certainly would not have never answered any prayers as if he had really fallen for nearly two thousand years.
"Yes, Lord Glerint."
After a brief silence, he lifted his spirits and took the initiative to ask:
"Ask me what I can do to please my Lord and pray to Him for salvation."
The salvation you're referring to is to get the "Balancer" recipe.
Gleilynt heard the meaning of his words, but he didn't care, and after thinking about it seriously, he said:
"Temporarily lurking, covertly spreading the faith of my Lord to the 'arbiters' of the non-House of Augustus, remember, you must be sure that every target you spread is credible enough, or you would rather not do it."
The gods don't pay attention to every believer, and if the faith spreads too widely, it will inevitably be exposed, Basel Trenthorst took note of this carefully, and continued to look at Glerint.
"Keep an eye on the rebel army in the south-west city of Sobia, and give some support if necessary, but also in the shadows, and do not arouse the alarm of the Augustus.
Cooperate with my actions and do not divulge my information to anyone.
Also, assist me in acting. ”
His core lies in the last sentence, but he deliberately puts it at the end, showing that he doesn't care about it, just mentioning it casually. Basel apparently does not pay attention to this point, and only thinks that he is pursuing his own interests, after all, he is a former "lawyer", and of course he does not forget his own interests at any time.
"As long as my Lord sees your sincerity, then you can ask Him for the formula in advance, for the Lord has always been tolerant and generous to believers, and does not care about your transgressions."
An earth angel who is completely normal and has a certain identity in the real world is more helpful to Glerin than Trenthorst, so of course he is very happy to see Basel grow.
An oracle is a substitute for the will of the gods.
Basel didn't doubt his words, but felt that the "Lord of Order" had given him the power to make a potion on his behalf, even if it was what the gods wanted to see.
But no matter what, he couldn't help but light a flame in his heart, a flame called ambition.
As long as he takes that step, he will be able to obtain a complete mythical creature, gain near-eternal life, change his pronoun to "he", be called an earthly angel like the divine vicarators of the Orthodox Church, become an being who can be honored as "Pope", "Pope" and "Patriarch", and can wear a triple crown to rule over the extraordinary power of a church.
The heart is hot, but there is only a little excitement on the surface:
"Yes, Your Excellency, I will not fail the trust of my Lord."
He was upgraded to "my lord" so quickly, too, his previous beliefs must have been pretended, secretly believing in Trensost, and now he converts to "the object of Trenthorst's faith", there will definitely be no pressure.
Glerint nodded, and took his leave:
"Then I'll leave first."
He didn't tell Basel to hide his identity, nor did he ask him for anything extraordinary, fully demonstrating the confidence of a god's favorite.
Leaving Basel's business room, Glerint discovers that Isla is still waiting.
"What did Your Excellency the Admiral say?"
Your Excellency has probably forgotten what you were looking for me in the first place.
But it's nothing more than asking where he went a few days ago, why he didn't go to the post and other trivial things, of course, nothing in front of the things thrown by Gleilint.
Glerint gave him a reassuring look, and then spoke:
"Everything works."
As for what is the normal method, that's not what you should know.
Isla took it for granted that the distribution of benefits agreed upon by Glerint and him, and the confession was not put on and done, and everything was normal, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and said with an inexplicable smile:
"That's good, that's good!"
…………
After a brief conversation, Glerint left the garrison and prepared to return to the inn.
After paying the fare, Glerint took a deep breath, closed his eyes and planned to sleep for a while in the carriage, and had a psychic confrontation with a Sequence 3 Sage, although in the end things went unexpectedly smoothly because of Trenthorst's relationship, but it still made him expend a lot of energy and feel a little tired, which is reasonable.
What he didn't expect was that closing his eyes and pretending to sleep turned into real sleep, and he was so tired.
In a trance, the dark red trench coat and slender Glerint were in a white mist, they seemed to be illusory and colorful, as if it were a most beautiful dream.
In the next second, he suddenly woke up and realized that this was a dream!
"Someone has invaded my dreams!"
"Fortunately, I took some precautions in advance, and I was able to stay conscious."
Since being easily dreamed by Carol before, Gleilint has consciously tried to guard against the extraordinary abilities of the psychic dream realm, after all, although he later had the identity of the "child of chaos", as long as he reaches the corresponding person, he can eliminate all psychic hints, but he can't always jump on his consciousness when fighting, and the enemy needs to be guarded against using the extraordinary ability of the psychic realm to read his thoughts.
This is also why he can call "Adam" in the strange space, but in the real world, he can only be called "Brother Amon". Because Adam's "whatever is said, must be known" is realized through the ocean of the collective subconscious, and Glelint is now also a normal personality creature, and some of his consciousness and thoughts will also be invested there, and there is a possibility that Adam will perceive it.
So he cooperated with Trenthorst in advance and applied a trigger effect to himself:
Once his mind and dream realm are invaded by external forces, he will directly and forcibly "distort" the state in which his self-consciousness is located and become "awake".
At this time, he instinctively wanted to wake up and return consciousness to his body, but he didn't succeed, and the other party had some kind of power to manipulate his body into a deep sleep. The idea didn't work, and he quickly had a second way, trying to sense the strange space and throw his consciousness into the person of the "Duke of Entropy".
It's a pity that this is also ineffective.
His consciousness is still in his own spirit body, and he is trapped in a dream, but he can't manipulate the spirit body, and of course, he can't throw the spirit body into the strange space, and he can't directly cast his consciousness into the high level.
The previous methods were ineffective, and he was forced to recite the honorable name of "Lord of Order" in Hermes.
This will inevitably help him pull his consciousness to a higher level and get out of the dream for a short time.
Of course, it is also possible to recite his Sequence 2 honorific name, and he can also receive prayers, and through the connection of prayers, he can project his consciousness into the person of the "Duke of Entropy", which can be used to free himself from the bondage of dreams. It's just that that the honorific name is directly bound to his name, and it is not suitable for reciting in front of outsiders.
At this moment, in front of him, a blurred figure was condensed in the gray mist.
He didn't seem to exert his extraordinary abilities on Gleilint, but just said calmly:
"The chance for redemption has come, Viscount Mariano."
I just said that to Basel.
Glerint instinctively wanted to complain in his heart, but he immediately realized that the opposite side was an extraordinary person in the realm of the mind, so he stopped his flying thoughts and said calmly:
"Who are you?"
"What do you want to do?"
The white blurred figure was stunned for a moment, and then sighed and smiled:
"It is worthy of being a promoter of the trend of the times, and it is only a middle sequence that can stay sober in this situation."
A promoter of the zeitgeist?
Why does this sound familiar?
Gleilynt now has no body, otherwise his eyelids must be pounding, and his heart is tight, and he was directly discovered by the person opposite.
He was sure in his heart, and shouted solemnly:
"Answer my question."
The vague figure chuckled:
"You don't need to know who I am, I may or may not be anyone you know."
"There's only one reason I found you."
"You have to realize that everything has its destiny, and so does an era, which has its inevitable destiny. And in our vision, you are a natural enabler to push it to that point. ”
