Chapter 175: It's Time to Go
Klein was interviewed and asked, "What kind of commission?" ”
Ember reached out and tapped on the tabletop, and slowly spoke:
"If you're coming from Plitz Port, you pass through Damir Island on the way. On the island of Damir there was a man named Daniz, who was the boatswain of Vice Admiral Iceberg, one of the pirate generals. I need you to help me bring him a message so that he can go back to Lieutenant General Iceberg and not wait for me on Damir Island. And if you see Lieutenant General Iceberg, just help me relay another sentence and ask her not to wait for me any longer. ”
"Okay."
Crane took Ember's commission to heart and nodded solemnly.
But at the same time, Klein's inner emotions are still a little weird, what do you mean by 'let her not wait for me anymore'? What's going on between you?
Ember placed his palm over the table and nudged it toward Klein:
"It's the pay."
Klein looked at it, and there was a white branch on the table.
Klein hesitated and asked:
"What is this?"
Looking at the white branches, but he couldn't be sure.
Ember glanced at him and spoke:
"Sacrificing the twigs is similar to the sacrificial ring."
Crane's expression moved slightly, and he asked:
"What do you mean, the effect is similar?"
Ember pondered for two seconds and explained succinctly:
"The Sacrificial Ring is made through a sacrificial ritual and can die in your place. The sacrificial twigs are the branches left over from the pruning of the Golden Book, which contain a huge amount of life force and can resurrect you after you die. ”
The corners of Klein's eyes twitched, sacrificing twigs and golden trees, which were terms he had never heard of.
These things obviously don't come from the world of dark souls, they should be from other power systems like Ember's ability to summon ashes.
But......
As long as it can be resurrected, it is a good thing, regardless of the means.
Klein silently put away the sacrificial branches, this kind of prop that can be resurrected should not be in vain!
Klein thought for a moment and asked again:
"Is there anything else you want me to do?"
Just let him bring two sentences, which is not worthy of such a reward at all.
Klein still sees this kind of thing very clearly.
"Yes."
Ember bowed slightly, and swept his palm across the table again.
This time, what appeared in Crane's eyes was no longer a sacrificial twig, but a mass of 'ash'.
A clump of 'ash' that has been pinched into long strips with obvious traces of melting, and its 'appearance' is also covered with a layer of spark. Like a piece of charred 'charcoal' taken out of a fire that has just been extinguished, although the fire is extinguished, the embers are still there, and the ashes are still there.
Ember didn't explain this time, but said calmly:
"Ember, give it to Mr. 'Fool', he knows what to do."
"No, I don't know......"
The corners of Klein's eyes twitched, and he suddenly felt pressure.
His intuition told him that this was definitely a very important prop -
And in fact, it is true, in the world of black souls, this is the embers left in the bodies of the heroes who have passed on the fire for generations. It's an item that can't be obtained by the ashes without fire, so it's attracted.
Use it to gain the power of fire, restore your HP and increase your maximum HP until you die.
In other words, it's just as useful as a sacrificial ring, and even stronger in some ways!
For example, if you go head-to-head with someone and are killed directly, even if you have a sacrifice ring that can be resurrected. But even if the other party doesn't know that he can be resurrected, he will definitely collect the body, after all, there are extraordinary characteristics in his body. And if the other party finds out that he is resurrected, even if they don't know what's going on, they definitely don't mind beating him to death again. On the contrary, it is difficult for him to react immediately when he has just been resurrected, and this situation is to be pressed up by someone as the saying goes.
And embers are different, although they can't come back to life, but if they go head-to-head. When you are beaten to the residual blood, you can pinch an ember and resurrect it directly with full blood, even stronger than before, then you can completely catch the opponent off guard, or even counter-kill!
But now that Ember handed this thing over to him, it must not have been for him to pinch the embers directly, it must have a deeper meaning.
But the problem is that the 'fools' really don't know what to do!
Ember suddenly said:
"By the way, there's one more thing, Dunn is looking for you. To be precise, he was looking for Sherlock Moriarty. In addition, he told me that Benson and Melissa would arrive in Beckland tomorrow afternoon. ”
Crane's expression suddenly became a little complicated.
The captain and Ember had only met once, even if they had worked together in Beckland, but they hadn't known each other before.
Why did you go out of your way to tell Ember about this?
Isn't the answer obvious?
——
Suburb of Beckland, inside a luxury villa.
The assassin in black armor quietly arrived, sneaking into the bedroom through the open window on the second floor of the villa.
In the bedroom there was a tall lady with waist-length, naturally draped chestnut hair, and a very well-proportioned figure, neither fat nor thin. The straight eyebrows extend just right, and the eyes are blue and deep, as if condensed into an ocean.
She wore a women's blouse with a lace flower bow tie, a knee-length gray skirt, a pair of long leather boots, and a soft hat with a thin black gauze hanging down from the top.
The Black Blade Assassin knelt on one knee in front of her, bowing his head deeply, as if he were looking to meet her king.
The woman leaned slightly to the side, out of the way, revealing the tall bookshelf behind her.
and a petite doll with four arms, dressed in an ice-colored witch robe, a pointed hat, and sitting at the top of a bookshelf.
Lani murmured softly:
"That's right, Dicky is still there, and Ashmi is still there. Even if they die, their ashes will remain with the king for eternity. The firestealers' erosion of the king has waned, but it will take time......"
She suddenly stopped muttering to herself, her eyes slightly downward, looked at the tall lady standing aside, and commanded:
"Bernardette, get ready, it's time for us to leave."
George III is dead, the conspiracy that haunted the king has gone up in smoke, and they don't need to stay here.
Bernadette was silent, her eyes drooping slightly, and asked softly:
"Where are we going?"
The petite puppet's eyes looked out the window and said calmly:
"Go to sea, go to the abyss."
——
Beckland, North End, St. Samuel's Church.
In the large prayer hall, a lady in a simple linen robe sat quietly on the first row of benches on the right side of the aisle, looking reverently at the altar in front of her. There were no statues enshrined there, only a huge dark emblem. Its deep black base is brightly embellished, and it is surrounded by a crimson moon that symbolizes the goddess.
The wall behind the emblem was filled with holes one after another. The moonlight from the outside shines in, condensing into pure, miniature highlights. They connect with the near-darkness of the surrounding environment and transform into a sublime starry sky.
Under the cover of darkness, the lady bowed her head slightly, and her lips squirmed as if she was whispering softly:
"George III is dead, and the murderer is shrouded in a fog that not even the power of the night can see......"
"The appearance of the dark stars is just right, but it seems to be a simple coincidence, perhaps the influence of the 'audience' ......"
"Only one of the angels of the royal family appeared, and the other did not show up, and it is suspected that there is another conspiracy."
"The only thing that is certain is that His Excellency was not involved, and that George III's death had nothing to do with it......"
Arianna reported everything that had happened recently, and sat quietly on the bench ever since.
It's just that for some reason, there seemed to be a deep worry in her eyes.
For the goddess has not answered her prayer for a long time.
Archbishop St. Anthony walked quickly into the Grand Prayer Hall, came all the way to Arianna's side, and said in a deep voice:
"Your Highness Arianna, Derlink Augustus has left Beckland. Georgina Augustus and Grove. Augustus was nowhere to be found, and all things in the kingdom were left to the new king alone, which is unconscionable! ”
Archbishop St. Anthony's expression was rather serious.
Although the royal family sometimes compromised with the aristocracy, the new king's accession to the throne was a critical moment when the royal family had to hold the power firmly in their hands. In this case, even angels are not too much to come forward. But instead of doing this, the royal family transferred all of its demigods and disappeared.
This means that the royal family has completely entrusted the task of 'guiding' George IV to the nobles!
It is important to know that the interests of the nobility and the royal family are often at odds, and that it is not easy to reclaim those rights once George IV has transferred too many powers to the nobility under the guidance of the nobility.
This anomaly is hard not to make St. Anthony wonder if there is some conspiracy in the royal family!
Arianna's eyes returned to calm, and she said softly:
"They're busy destroying evidence, so don't worry about it for now."
"Destroy evidence?"
Archbishop St. Anthony was stunned for a moment, but soon realized that there must be some secret in it that he did not know.
He didn't know, and neither did the other archbishops of the two Orthodox Churches.
But the royal family knows it, the angels and demigods of the royal family know it, and Her Royal Highness knows it, which means that the goddess probably knows it too.
The royal family is eager to destroy the evidence, which means that the evidence is extremely unfavorable to the royal family. Once the three major churches are seized, the royal family will only pay a greater price. Therefore, they would rather give power to the nobles, but also cover up the things they have done at all costs in the first place.
And this matter must involve a game between angels and even gods.
As for why you don't need to check, the reason is very simple -
Uncovering the evidence they wanted to cover up would certainly cost the royal family a lot of money, but it wouldn't directly change the dynasty of the Kingdom of Rune.
The presence of the royal family is conducive to the stability of the kingdom of Rune and also to the spread of faith in the church.
If the Church really wants to completely overthrow the royal family, it doesn't need this evidence-
As long as the three major churches agree, it doesn't matter if the evidence is not evidence.
And the current royal family may have a conspiracy, but it is not yet to the point where the three major churches join forces to exterminate it.
Therefore, there is no need to tear up their faces with them on the bright side, and it will not end well if you really find evidence. Because by then the royal family may really cease to exist, and for a while the three major churches will not be able to find a better candidate to replace the Augustan family, which will cause even more chaos.
——
The suburb of Beckland.
In the hall where the stone pillar was broken, a figure quietly appeared with a burst of blue light.
He has a rectangular face, a white hair cover on his head, two slightly upturned beards at the end of his mouth, thick eyebrows, and large eyes, which bear a slight resemblance to the figures on playing cards. Wearing a dress, draped in a big hat, and the tips of the shoes are extremely long, the dress is out of touch with the current era, as if living in the last hundred years.
And he is none other than Prince Sunia of the Kingdom of Rune, one of the few remaining demigods of the royal family, Grove Augustus!
After a while, another figure appeared in front of him silently, it was a lady in a black evening dress.
She was the only female archduke of the Kingdom of Rune, Georgina Augustus.
Grove was not surprised by Georgina's appearance, and asked in a deep voice:
"It's all settled?"
Georgina bowed her head slightly and said softly:
"All traces have been completely erased, and even if an angel personally traces us afterwards, it will not be found on us."
Grove breathed a sigh of relief, but afterwards there was a deep unwillingness.
The royal family has been planning for thousands of years, through the efforts of countless generations of ancestors, and has spent countless resources just to be able to pile up a true god. Only in this way can we ensure that the royal family of Rune is truly immortal.
After thousands of years, they finally saw hope in their generation.
But this hope came and went quickly, and George III was quietly assassinated in his own palace and on his throne under their noses. And until now, they don't even know whose hand it was!
For this plan, they even spent a lot of resources to excavate the nine secret tombs left by the Bleeding Emperor. And after that, they also invested a lot of manpower and material resources in it to repair.
It looks like it's done, but it falls short at the last minute.
They had to destroy the nine mausoleums that they had repaired with their own hands, and kill the slaves and civilians who were sent to the mausoleums by various means, because only in this way could the royal family's past deeds be completely submerged in the long river of history!
Georgina saw Grove's mixed emotions and admonished:
"Let's go first, it's not safe here."
The location of this place has long been exposed, and the one will no longer provide them with cover.
It won't be long before the three major churches will track it down.
Grove Augustus nodded silently, took one last look at the ruins in front of him, and the figure quietly disappeared.
——
East Chester County.
Inside a secret mausoleum.
The two figures stood opposite each other.
One of them was a slightly arrogant old man, with black hair mixed with a lot of silver strands, and no beard on his face, it was none other than the former Duke of Southwell, Drinker Augustus!
The other has a square face, black hair and blue eyes, a high nose bridge, a thick beard, and a rather solemn expression. It is not difficult to see from their facial features that he also has the blood of the Augustus family flowing in his body. Or rather, he is the ancestor of the House of Augustus!
His appearance and image are not unfamiliar to many people of Rune, because they are printed on the front of the 10-pound bill, and of course, people who have never received a 10-pound bill in their lives can also see his statue or portrait in places such as Remembrance Square.
He was the founder, protector, and original king of Rune, William Augustus I!
Including Drinker in front of him. Augustus, too, is his descendant.
And for their own ancestors, even if Drinker. Augustus was an angel, and his heart was equally full of awe and reverence. But at this moment, the anger and depression in the old man's heart temporarily overwhelmed the respect in his heart, and he asked in a deep voice:
"Our plan has completely failed, why didn't you make a move until the end?!"
William Augustus I was silent, and after a long time he said slowly:
"I'm being targeted."
Derrick Augustus was silent and William. Augustus I then said slowly, "And my spirituality and divinity are frantically alarming, telling me that if I leave this mausoleum, I will die. ”
Drinker Augustus's face changed drastically.
Not only George III and him, but even Augustus I was being watched?
But Augustus I is an angel in Sequence 1, who else can make him feel the threat of death?!
Drinker Augustus shuddered and struggled to spit out a word:
"God."
