Whether the ancient gods after amnesia are still considered ancient gods or not, this matter cannot be conclusive.

In terms of strength, Edward, who has lost his memory, is as strong as ever, but he can't remember anything from the past.

Judging from the results, Edward did not receive any punishment after attacking the underground laboratory, and this alone can be concluded.

The contract signed between the forces of the ancient gods and the Doomsday Party is flawed!

The Old Gods who have lost their memories can escape the punishment of the contract!

Apparently, Professor James Moorea and Guy Moran were unaware of this, and they believed that the forces of the Old Gods would be at peace with them.

"Inform Mr. Butler and tell him not to worry, I will find a way to rebuild the laboratory, and in terms of manpower, I can introduce him from Oxford University."

"In a few days, the academic summit will be the day, when academic experts from all over the world will come to London and gather a few of them to rebuild the laboratory," said James Morea. ”

"Those experts are the top talents in the academic world, can they help us?"

"It's up to them. However, I think that if they are clear about what is at stake, they will definitely contribute to humanity. ”

After speaking, James Morea looked at his pocket watch, found that it was not early, and at the end of the performance, he said to Guy Moran, who was sitting next to him: "You should go, be careful not to be followed." ”

"Hmm."

Guy Moran got up, put on his hat and asked, "What's the code for the next meeting?" ”

"One newspaper for one newspaper."

"Got it."

Sure enough, they were using Shakespeare's plays to convey their message!

A Midsummer Night's Dream isn't their only splice command, it's constantly changing to prevent anyone else from discovering it!

The last time we met, the code was "Much Ado About Nothing", and the next time it was "One Report and One Report"!

As long as you get the rules right, you can predict the timing of the connection between Professor James Morea and Guy Moran!

Opening the door, Guy Moran first observed the situation in the hallway, and after making sure that no one was there, he slipped away quietly through the back door.

At this time, the performance was also coming to an end, Helena standing on the stage began the final performance, James Morea picked up the wine glass, quietly looked at Helena who was performing the stage, took a sip of wine, slowly closed her eyes, as if completely immersed in the performance.

It didn't take long for the auditorium to burst into applause, and all the actors took the stage together, bowing to the audience with Helena, and the red curtain gradually closed.

When the performance ended, James Morea walked out of the box before the applause dissipated, ahead of all the guests, and left the opera house.

After he left, Ma Wei and the others did not appear immediately, waiting for the forbidden magic array to be lifted, and the mud shadow magic quietly left the theater, and returned to Flower Street before reappearing.

"Mr. Butler is really in a gang with James Morea and Guy Moran!"

In the living room, Levin said hatefully: "James Moorea, this old fox, is so hidden! ”

"No matter how smart a fox is, there will be a day when his tail leaks." Sherlock Holmes took a walnut pipe in his mouth and said lightly, "What really surprised me was the Doomsday Party." ”

"The Doomsday Party is a group of people all over the world, and they can be found in any country." Watson mused, "I heard of them when I was serving in the army, and these people had long hands and spread over all walks of life, and even some celebrities and powerful people believed in their purpose."

Yunia had never heard of the Doomsday Party, so she asked curiously, "Dad, what is the purpose of the Doomsday Party?" ”

"They have always believed in the end of the world, the end of humanity to be precise." "The Doomsday Party believes that the end of the world will soon come and that humanity must come together to get through it," Mavi said. ”

"Sounds like a liar."

"A lot of people think they're liars, and it's a minority who believe them, but there are hundreds of millions of human beings around the world, even if it's just a tiny, one percent, and tens of millions of people."

"Tens of millions?" Levin opened his mouth: "Are there so many members of the Doomsday Party?" ”

"No, as far as I know, there are only a few hundred thousand core members of the Doomsday Party, and the rest are peripheral personnel, who are only responsible for providing financial assistance." Ma Wei recalled: "Almost four years ago, I plundered a merchant ship of members of the Doomsday Party, and after being surrounded by our fleet, they refused to surrender and fought back frantically, even if we were caught, they still scolded us arrogantly"

"And then? You killed them all? ”

"How could I kill someone because I was scolded?" Ma Wei spread his hands: "In the eyes of most people, privateers are no different from pirates, in fact, privateers can only rob the ships of a specific country, usually a certain nobleman's merchant ship or maritime fleet, etc., the rules are stricter than pirates, and they will not kill innocents indiscriminately, at most punish them." ”

"Punishment. What do you mean? ”

"I hung the captain who insulted us on the mast for three days and three nights, and after coming down, he confessed a lot of things, including some information about the Doomsday Party." "There is a rule within the Doomsday Party that they cannot harm unsuspecting humans in the course of their official duties, and they will only use last resort when they report their identities and are still blocked," Ma Wei said. ”

Levine nodded, "Sounds like a brotherhood. So big brother, after you knew the identity of the other party, did you let him go? ”

"Even if they don't know that we have to release people, privateers for money, if they don't have to, they won't kill if they choose to surrender in the first place, they won't lose dozens of crew members."

Ma Wei's voice was calm, as if he was saying a trivial matter: "I was only 22 years old at the time, young and vigorous, and I also had a big temper, and I didn't look down on the Doomsday Party at all, nor did I see them as a threat, how could an organization built by a group of madmen be stronger than the Kingdom of Windsor?" ”

"After moving the ship's cargo, we let them go, and nothing happened after that."

At this time, Holmes said: "It should be because you let them go, if you continue to torture them after hearing the name of the Doomsday Party, the Doomsday Party will definitely seek revenge, but you let them go, according to the rules, the Doomsday Party can't trouble you." ”

"Maybe."

Ma Wei smiled, killing people at sea, it's too difficult to be discovered, even if those people are doomsday?

Who can find out if they are all killed, the corpses are tied to stones and thrown into the sea, and the ships are scuttled?

Of course, at that time, I didn't know that there was magic in the world, and in the absence of magic, it was very simple to kill people at sea and destroy corpses, and there was no technical difficulty.

It's just that privateers have rules, and Ma Wei and the others are not pirates, but the Royal Navy.

If Mavi had been a pirate, they would have fallen to the ground by the time they were defeated.

"According to James Moorea, it was the Doomsday Party who unleashed the Four Pillars of Supremacy, dug out the gates of hell, awakened the Old Gods, and shook the seals, which led to the outbreak of the Descent of the Gods two years ago."

Ma Wei thought for a moment and said, "It seems that the Doomsday Party has more information than I expected, and they are studying the alchemy technology of the Golden Age in order to replace the gods and become the new ruling class. ”

Watson wondered, "Isn't the slogan of the Doomsday Party the supremacy of mankind?" What they're going to do is bury the gods! ”

"Throughout the ages, has there been a force that has overthrown a former ruler who has not taken over the reins of power?" Ma Wei said disapprerovingly: "Even if there are no gods, there is still a ruling class in mankind, and if the Doomsday Party wants to do a big thing, the slogan will naturally be shouted loudly." ”

"I agree with Big Brother." Levin chimed in: "You think, in the age of the gods, I mean believing in God, and their power comes from the believers, that is, the believers are the chains that bind them, and if they want to win the support of the believers, they must do what is beneficial to the believers!" ”

"If the Doomsday Party takes over the belief in God, who will restrain them?"

"Ordinary human rulers can still be overthrown by unity, but human beings with the power of the gods are simply unable to compete with ordinary people!"

Ma Wei nodded: "That's right, that's what I want to say." ”

The system of belief in God may not be the most perfect, but at least it is healthier than the world that the Doomsday wants to build.

In any case, during the reign of belief in God, the times are constantly changing, and every time there is a change, the thinking and needs of the human group have changed, and it is not dominated by belief in God.

"The interests of the Doomsday Party and the Old God Forces are not aligned, and sooner or later there will be a conflict between them." Sherlock Holmes said: "But from the current point of view, the forces of the old gods will not make a move against the Doomsday Party, James Morea wants to seek the help of the forces of the old gods, do you have any good countermeasures to our priest?" ”

"To the top four pillars, there is one by our side." Ma Wei smiled: "The demon will not break the contract, if James Morea uses the second wish, he will definitely be able to invite the power of the ancient gods, in the next period of time, everyone should be careful, especially you, Sherlock Holmes." ”

"Oh, I'm an outsider." Holmes took a puff of his pipe and said, "At least in James Morea's mind, I don't know about the Doomsday, according to the rules, he should find an opportunity to hint at me, and only if I don't agree with his terms, the Doomsday will attack me." ”

"You still don't want to contact him in the near future, now that we've identified James Morea, it's time for you to stop when your mission is complete."

Mavi looked at Levin: "The contact mission with James Morea will be handed over to Felix, and he will use James Morea's adopted daughter Natalia to get close to the other party and gather intelligence." ”

"Is it still necessary for me to get close to Natalia?"

Levine asked confusedly: "Now that we have determined the identity of James Morea, and the Doomsday Party is not our opponent at all, why are we still cowering, find an opportunity, can't we deal with them directly?" ”

To destroy the underground laboratory, Ma Wei only used less than 1% of his strength, and Edward and Yunia did not make a move, and the underground laboratory was completely destroyed.

From this point of view, the strength of the Doomsday Party is not strong, after all, they have no protection from the gods, and they cannot borrow the power of the gods, they are just a group of ordinary humans.

With the current strength of the Church of Truth, dealing with ordinary human beings can only be described as devastating.

"It's easy to destroy the Doomsday Party and kill James Morea, but have you ever thought that we have a better option to use them than to get rid of the Doomsday Party!"

"The Doomsday Party and the king are very close, which means that King Rhodes IV is only superficially obedient to the Church, and once this secret is known to the Church, what will happen to Rhodes IV?" ”

"So what are we waiting for!"

"Don't worry, now overthrow Rhodes IV, it must not be Arthur who ascends the throne, either the eldest prince or the second prince, which is contrary to our plan." "What we need to do is to raise Arthur's prestige in the eyes of the people and make him the best candidate in the eyes of the church, and that is when the time will overthrow Rhodes IV!" ”

"Until then, if we get rid of the Doomsday Party, Rhodes IV will certainly try to distance themselves from the relationship, and this weakness cannot be used."

"In addition, the Doomsday Party has a lot of information in its hands, I need you to approach James Morea as Leon Ingres, gain his trust, become his confidant, join the Doomsday Party, and find out the information!"

"It's a bit of a heavy task." Levine smashed his mouth: "Not only do I have to deal with the eldest prince and Helena, but I also have to break into the Doomsday Party, is this something that one person can do?" ”

"Those who can work more, work hard, get more." Ma Wei comforted in time: "You are now the archbishop, one person is above ten thousand, and the entire Church of Truth can be on an equal footing with you, only a fat orange and a cat, such an important position, how can a mediocre person sit firmly?" ”

"Hmm"

Levine thought about it carefully, and suddenly said: "Big brother, I found that you always like to draw big cakes on me, in your eyes, am I so easy to fool?" ”

“.”

"But you're right, I'm the archbishop, and I have a heavier responsibility on my shoulders than anyone else."

He took out the small silver flask and unscrewed the lid, and just as Levine wanted to take a sip and found that there was no wine, he got up and said, "I'll go get some wine." ”

Levin walked out of the living room, Ma Wei wanted to continue to discuss with Holmes about the Doomsday Party, but suddenly found that Holmes's eyes were a little delicate, and he couldn't help asking, "What do you think I'm doing?" ”

"You weren't just painting him a pie." Sherlock Holmes exhaled a puff of smoke, half of his cheeks illuminated by the fire, and his eyes were blazing: "You are cultivating him, training him. You're grooming the next pope. ”

"Huh?" Yunia's eyes widened and she looked at Ma Wei in disbelief: "Dad, do you want to resign?" ”

"I didn't want to quit, just in case." "The Church of Truth has just been founded, and it seems to be united but it's not strong enough, and if I have an accident one day, someone has to stand up and stabilize the situation, Dino can't, Fat Orange can't, Edward can't do it, only Felix can." ”

"He only lived to be 30 years old."

"In 10 years, I will be able to unravel the curse on him."

"He heard what you meant, but he pretended to be stupid."

"He's not stupid," said Holmes, "and he's very smart, and the Rose Thief of the past is not what he is today, he's been hiding his abilities, haven't you noticed that he's always been the most suitable vassal by your side when you need to show majesty?" ”

"I found out." "But I don't want him to be like this," Ma Wei said in a deep voice. ”

"You are the creator of the goddess, the founder of the church, and your importance to the church is self-evident, but when it comes to credit, he is even more than you."

The cigarette was bright, Holmes took a deep breath, and his face was solemn: "The Church of Truth has been able to develop to this day, he has made great contributions, without him, the Church of Truth would not have the Siren's Tears, without the Siren's Tears, how could the Truth Church have today's scale?" ”

"He was the biggest investor in the church, and he chose to join the church when it needed it most, he gave up everything before, and he gave the church more help than anyone else."

"In short, if one day you are gone, he is a well-deserved second pope, but he doesn't want to take over the position of pope, he drinks all day long, hangs his son, just hopes that you don't put the treasure on him."

Ma Wei said: "His ambition, it should be said that ideals, is not proportional to his strength, I hope his ambition is greater, not to follow me and pretend to be stupid." ”

"He only lived to be 30 years old."

Sherlock Holmes shook his head slowly: "This is probably the reason why he is unwilling to take over the position of Pope, he knows that his time is short, he is not qualified for this position, and if he does not solve this problem, I think he will continue to play stupid." ”

"You seem to know him well."

"It's often not your friend who knows you best, it's your enemy, and I studied him when he was a rose thief."
