Chapter 285: Prologue

"Name ......"

"Yes, my lord, I don't know why, but the priest asked us to go to them......

The man lowered his head and said cautiously with his back on his back, while pointing to the mother and daughter.

"The priests don't know how they imprinted their appearance in my mind......

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little scared.

Alyssa squinted and looked at each other calmly.

The man felt the pressure on his back getting heavier and heavier, as if something was pressing on it.

"When did that priest tell you to go to them?"

"Okay, it seems to be...... A few days ago."

A few days ago......

That was the time period when he and the witch devoured each other.

A guess loomed in Elisa's mind.

She looked at the mother and daughter who were at a loss, and she didn't know what to do.

……

In a dimly lit room, several figures were present.

One of them seemed to sense something, and his gaze skimmed towards his arms.

The middle-aged man felt the gospel in his arms that seemed to tremble faintly, and his eyes froze.

Because the Gospel even tells himself that the mind control he exerts over the believers under his command has been broken!?

He suddenly realized that the Gospel was not very reliable......

The middle-aged man's brows furrowed tightly, and then he explained to the people in front of him.

"You're going to get in touch with some warlocks who are willing to use them for us, it doesn't matter what rank you are."

"We've also found some traces of warlocks these days, and you asked them to spread some of the news......

"Understood, no ......?"

With that, he walked to the other side.

And over there, a man was bowing down and waiting for a middle-aged man.

It looked like the subordinate he had told him to buy a steam rifle.

"Lord Priest, you're here."

The middle-aged man looked at the somewhat empty space beside him, with only a few boxes on the ground.

He asked in a deep voice to his subordinates.

"Where's the thing? Is that all?"

The subordinate suddenly felt as if he was under extremely strong pressure, and his body couldn't help but tremble slightly.

"This...... Sacrifice to your lordship."

"Because of the complexity of this steam-step, the merchant said that at least in the Ottoman Empire there were no such conditions to make it."

"So they want to sell us a lot of them, but now they can sell us only a few leftovers......

He said expectantly, his eyes wandering everywhere, and he didn't dare to look at the priest who was becoming more and more powerful in front of him.

"So how many are there?"

The middle-aged man's gaze pressed tightly on this subordinate and asked in a deep voice.

"Seventy-three!"

"Priest, seventy-three!"

"Since these merchants didn't bring much, we can only buy seventy-three ...... now."

Under the heavy pressure aura around the middle-aged man, his subordinates seemed to see the picture of his blood spilling from his throat, and he quickly knelt down and kept begging for mercy.

"Seventy-Three ......"

The middle-aged man's face was a little unpleasant, and he felt that this was much worse than the number he imagined. ….

In this way, some of your own arrangements will lose their effect.

It's not a big deal, though.

Seventy-three, if they are all of that power, then it should be enough.

So far, the only way to do this is to bring the warlocks together to solve them.

The middle-aged man took a deep breath, eased his aura, and then explained to his subordinates.

"Now go check those Steam Rifles for damage, and pick some Clever Ones

of people are familiar with it."

"When the time comes, I'll be useful after training."

"I understood, I understood......

The subordinate nodded in agreement, and then got up and went to do what the priest had requested.

Looking at his figure running in a hurry, the middle-aged man's gaze became deeper and deeper.

He walked slowly around the room thinking, feeling a faint uneasiness in his heart about the person who had been released from his mind control.

Are you going to find him yourself?

After thinking about it, the middle-aged man gave up this plan.

As long as there is not a large area of mind control being lifted, then there is no big deal if only one person is released.

Those believers only know what they are doing, and they don't know the whole plan.

It doesn't matter if you say it.

The most important thing now is to find your family.

However, the premise of finding the family is to repair the gospels.

The middle-aged man locked himself in a dark room, and he couldn't stand the torment.

Painful, unbearable......

"Bang bang bang!!"

In an instant, countless noises rang out in the room.

The middle-aged man's face was splashed with a little blood, but his eyes were full of madness.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

After a series of blows, his hands were finally bloody and blurry.

He took a deep breath and sat limply on the ground.

At this moment, his mind was a little scattered, and for a moment he thought about what happened after he found his family.

What should I do when I find my family......

If I follow what I did before, the empire will not let me go no matter what.

The middle-aged man suddenly became alert.

Shouldn't he think about the way back......

But none of their families have been found, and to find them they must restore the Gospels......

The middle-aged man's mind seems to have fallen into a strange zone.

In his arms, the Gospels were trembling gently.

……

"Knock knock knock ......"

In the dead of night, there was a knock on the door.

Then an old voice came from the room and asked.

"Who is it?"

"It's me."

With a "squeak", the door was pushed open by a bony hand, and an old face appeared behind the door.

"Huh? How did you get the time?"

He looked at the man in front of him in surprise, then behind him.

Behind him there was clearly nothing.

"Come on in."

"Howler."

He flashed into the room, then closed the door softly.

"What are you doing with me?"

The old voice continued to ask, with a hint of vigilance.

"Good news, have you ever heard of golden apples?" ….

The man who came in looked excited and whispered excitedly to the owner of the house.

"I've heard of such things."

"But what does it have to do with you coming to me?"

The master frowned slightly, and his tone was a little unkind.

"Of course not, since you know the golden apple, then you also know its efficacy."

"Enlighten the Spirit, Reshape the Spirituality, and Break through the Realm...... All kinds of uses are miraculous."

"Then you can break through the realm!"

"Huh? Wait, don't drive me away......

The man looked at his master with an impatient look on his face, and wanted to push himself out of the door.

"What's the use of saying that? Are you here to entertain me?"

"I know where it is!"

"Don't drive me away!"

The master froze in place, staring at him blankly.

"I've heard it's on the black market."

"And what's the use of you telling me?"

The master laughed angrily at his words, if this thing really appeared on the black market, then how could he get this thing with his own ability alone.

"Have you lived in the imperial capital for a long time, and your head has become stiff."

"Who said you want to buy it on the black market......

Hearing this, the master suddenly realized.

"Wait, so you mean ......"

The man who brought the news looked triumphantly at the old man who was gradually lost in thought.

"I have access to this thing, but what about me...... I don't have that ability."

"That's why I've come to find you."

"How about you and me afterwards?"

"Just ask if you want to do it......

As the minutes passed, the master's eyes gradually became indifferent, as if he had made up his mind.

Seeing him nod, the man exhaled lightly.

At this point, he was halfway there.

After agreeing on a series of schemes, a figure slipped out quietly.

Looking up at the deep dark night, the heart he had been hanging on finally let go, and finally finished the things he had explained.

What happens next is none of his business.

In the years that followed, people kept doing the same thing, but for different reasons.

But the news of the appearance of golden apples on the black market has already been spread.

Many warlocks were thrilled when they saw it.

Each of these people has a different agenda.

But only one thing is certain.

That is, they will definitely appear on the black market on that day.

……

"Your Excellency, you...... What do you say?"

At the witch's residence, the man who had been released from mind control looked at the girl opposite with some horror.

How much he hoped that the angel-like girl in front of him was really like an angel with good thoughts and saved the world.

Instead of putting on an indifferent look, and then saying words like whispers in the abyss.

"I want you to go back to the Twilight Order, do you hear me?"

Alyssa looked at him with a calm face, and at some point a black handleless knife had condensed in her hand.

The blade reflected the light overhead, stretching it into a long line.

The black knife danced between the white fingers, worrying about whether it would scratch it. ….

But it was like a fairy, gliding into the air with graceful curves.

Then, with the slight force of his fingers, it turned into a swift black lightning.

"Hum!"

It was firmly anchored in the wall behind the man's head.

The man felt a chill on his cheeks, and he reached out to touch it, only to see his own blood.

If it's the neck......

"My lord, I would like to return to the Twilight Order."

He hurriedly said, as if he wanted to go back.

"A word for your priests."

"I want to meet him, if he doesn't want to see anything happen to his family......

"Yes, yes, I'll bring the words!"

The man nodded hurriedly, and then was thrown out of the space by Alyssa.

He looked at the empty, silent streets.

Immediately, I wanted to run away.

But the man touched his head, and before he could be thrown out, he saw something enter the back of his head.

Listen to the demon-like man say it's a safety device.

If you don't do these things yourself, then your head will crack like a watermelon.

However, although he had never seen a watermelon, he still knew what it was like for a stone to crack.

The thought of his head shattering into pieces made him shudder.

Finally the man gave up his attempt to escape, tried to identify the streets, and groped his way out.

Order of Twilight......

He thought about what he had seen before.

I didn't think there was anything before, but now I think about it, it's getting weirder and weirder.

You just need to bring the message.

He kept comforting himself in his heart.

"Ah...... Yes...... Ahh

A hoarse and poignant voice sounded from afar, startling him at once.

The man touched his pounding heart and stumbled out of the place.

A pair of blood-red eyes watched his departing figure silently, and then soared above the slums.

With a keen eye, he could see all kinds of things going on here.

Temporarily cutting off the sight of the link with the black crow, Ji Yan reopened his eyes.

He had planned to explore the so-called Order of Twilight today.

But unexpectedly, I met a familiar person - Alyssa.

So in curiosity, he changed his direction and followed.

But what happened after that made him a little incomprehensible.

Maybe I don't know the ins and outs of things.

Alyssa then carried the man into an unknown space.

Out of caution, Ji Yan did not choose to continue to follow.

But it was as if he could see something strange coming his way, giving him a disgusting feeling.

It's nice to see the whole map with a crow, but there are some places that aren't as convenient as the shadows.

Tomorrow let the shadow take the crow over there to have a look.

Just look up what this Twilight Order is all about.

It always feels as if the shadow is getting farther and farther away from the chef.

Ji Yan shook his head, as for letting himself go out in person......

It's impossible to go out in person, even if the sky falls.

If there are all kinds of things that can take my place, why should I take the risk myself?

Then Ji Yan continued to link to the crow's perspective.

Ever since he had the crow, he had felt a little strange about his behavior of peeking at others from above......

In particular, he has a keen eye for all sorts of things......

Wait, it's not some perverted behavior either.

He's just keeping an eye on him as normal.

All this is for the good peace of the world, and he just wants to keep his home from being remembered.

Ji Yan, who has the largest evil god account in the world and a group of cultists, thought so.

After being reassured, he continued to monitor.

……

Early the next morning.

"Your Royal Highness, look at this information......

A guard walked in and handed the information to Christine, who was eating.

She placed the cutlery on the plate and took the note.

Then Christine's eyes lit up.

"Are you sure it's true?"

"I'm not sure, but word has spread that the golden apples are on the black market."
