Intis Empire, capital Trier.

On the top floor of the office building of the General Directorate of Security of Intis, which belongs to the office of the Director of Security.

Bernadette sat at her desk, dealing with a mountain of papers.

Since Russell's return, Bernadette has held several positions in the Intis government, including the head of the General Directorate of External Security.

The reason why she, the angel, personally stepped forward to serve as the director of the bureau was not because of how greedy he was for power. On the contrary, Bernadette actually hates dealing with these troubles. But after all, Russell has just returned from resurrection, and he has no trustworthy subordinates under him, and many things can only be handed over to Bernadette, the only trusted daughter.

In order to complete the task more efficiently, Bernadette will also select suitable members from the dawn of the elements to serve in the government.

On the one hand, Elemental Dawn is an organization founded by Bernadette, and these people's current power is completely dependent on Russell, so there is no need to worry about loyalty. On the other hand, these members can also use this to complete the transformation from 'members of the secret organization that everyone shouts at' to 'Guangweizheng's official law enforcement officers', which is a win-win situation.

For example, today's General Directorate of External Security has installed many members of the Dawn of Elements, mainly responsible for the review of internal personnel.

Although nominally, the responsibilities of the Directorate General of External Security are limited to dealing with external incidents.

However, as the first institution to surrender to Russell, Russell also reciprocated the favor by giving the General Administration of Foreign Security great rights, and it was responsible for both internal and external affairs, and the word 'external' could be removed.

On the contrary, the intelligence agency that was originally in charge of internal affairs, because it has been controlled by the high-level of the former Intith Republic for a long time, has not been trusted by Russell, and now it is completely idle and cold, without any real power.

Bernadette processed a document and picked up another document on the table, Meimu scanned the document and quickly extracted the key words:

Minister of Foreign Affairs, Esoteric Order, Orville, Diran......

Bernadette frowned slightly, and an invisible message quickly passed from the office into someone's mind downstairs.

Knock knock!

After a while, there was a knock on the door, and when Bernadette's voice came from inside the house, the other party pushed the door in.

There were two people who entered the office, led by a tough-looking young man, wearing a general's uniform, with a stern and serious face, meticulous light blonde hair, followed by a middle-aged black-haired man in a suit and leather shoes, with a worried face, dressed as a clerk.

Bernadette picked up the document on the table and showed it to the young man in front of her, and said calmly:

"Donald, how much do you know about this document?"

Donald Bush, former head of the General Directorate of External Security, is now the deputy director of the General Directorate of Security, and the Red Priest Pathway Sequence 3 'War Bishop'. The other party is a demigod who was promoted during the Russell Empire, and is considered one of his father's former team.

Since he was already a demigod at the time of the fall of the First Empire of Intis, he was not purged by the Second Republic, but remained in a high position. Of course, being in a high position is also relative.

As the 'War Bishop', the army is undoubtedly the best place for the other party, so during the First Empire, he was one of the top echelons of the army.

During the Second Republic, although he was still a general and a demigod, he was forced to transfer from the army that gave better use of his strength to the capital to serve as the head of the General Security Bureau.

On the one hand, it was the kindness that Russell had promoted, and on the other hand, the cold reception of the Second Republic. So when Russell returned from resurrection, Donald Bush immediately took the General Directorate of External Security and turned to the arms of the Second Reich.

Donald Bush stretched out his finger and pointed to the middle-aged man on the side, and explained meticulously:

"His name is Antoine, and he used to be a member of the Esoteric Order, and lately he has heard 'Orville' for no apparent reason...... Diran's babbling. As far as he knew, there were high-ranking government officials looking for members of the Esoteric Order, which was suspected to be related to babbling. ”

Once? Bernadette didn't care who the other person was, most of the people in this institution were former officials of the Second Republic of Intis, and now they were also working for her father's Second Empire.

"Tell me about the specifics, the more detailed the better." Bernadette put down the file and said calmly.

"Yes, yes."

Antoine wiped a cold sweat and explained with some trepidation:

"I am the 'Faceling' of Sequence 6 of the Soothsayer's Pathway, and many members of the Esoteric Order are in this sequence. Therefore, most of them will join the intelligence agencies of various countries at the request of the Esoteric Order, and give full play to the advantages of their extraordinary abilities. ”

"I don't know if this is the case for all the extraordinary people of the soothsayer path, but at least within the Esoteric Order, all members will hear 'Hornachis' when they are promoted...... Fregela ......'s babblings, these babblings do not appear only after a certain promotion, but are accompanied by such babbling for every promotion, and the higher the sequence, the stronger the influence of the babbling, and many members are out of control. ”

Of course, if the spirit is depleted, you will occasionally hear similar babbles. But since I was promoted to Sequence 6, I have stayed in this sequence for a long time, and I have never been overworked or spiritually drained, and my mental state has always been very stable, and I have not taken magic potions to try to be promoted. ”

"But a few days ago, I suddenly heard a whisper, and the content of the whisper was different from what it used to be, but there were only two words, Orville and Diran. I've exchanged information with other members of the Order, and it seems that not all of them hear anything like that. ”

Bernadette interrupted him and asked:

"There is a lot of contact between members of the Esoteric Order?"

Antoine hurriedly explained:

"Esoteric members are forbidden to communicate privately with each other, and frequent communication is a recent thing. Because some time ago, all the high-level leaders of the tantric order suddenly disappeared, and after that, ......"

He paused, then continued:

"Then there were rumors that the leader who founded the Esoteric Order had fallen, and we lost all contact with the Esoteric Society. In order to be able to contact the Order, they began to contact each other privately, using the special abilities of the 'Facelings' extraordinary abilities to identify each other, and set up several secret gatherings, agreeing to exchange information on a regular basis every week. ”

In fact, if it weren't for the chaos within the Secret Order and the suspected fall of the leader, Antoine would not have confessed his identity to the top of the General Security Bureau so easily, no matter how strong Russell returned.

Bernadette asked:

"How many people are in that party? How many others are in a similar situation to you? ”

Antoine replied honestly:

"There are thirteen people in total, and the others should not be able to hear the whispering, but it is not ruled out that this is just their disguise."

As a member of the Esoteric Order, Antoine was well aware of how cautious this group of Sixth Men was. As 'Facelings' of the soothsayer's path, they have perfect control over every muscle on their face, which makes them extremely good at hiding their emotions and never leaving a mark on outsiders.

Bernadette didn't stop and continued to ask:

"What do Orville and Diran represent?"

"I don't know."

Antoine shook his head and explained:

"I'm only a member of the outermost part of the Order, and I've lost contact with the Order, so I know very little information. However, as for Diran, I have heard from the top of the council that our mysterious and terrible leader once hid an ancient castle called Diran. ”

Antoine shuddered at the thought of that being, even though it seemed that he had fallen. But the horrors and physical destruction he left behind are enough to give people a nightmare for a lifetime......

It is no exaggeration to say that if that person stood in front of him, the other party could completely turn the entire building, the entire street, and the entire city into puppets in an instant, and then manipulate them to 'commit suicide'.

The process was so fast that even the angels didn't have time to react and couldn't save everyone.

Bernadette looked at Donald and asked:

"What does this have to do with the foreign minister?"

Donald pondered for a moment, then spoke:

"The Minister of Foreign Affairs is in private contact with the top echelons of the Esoteric Order, and they are looking for members of the Esoteric Order who can hear the whispers, as if hoping to find 'Orville' and 'Diran'."

Bernadette thought for a while, and suddenly asked:

"What do you think those two words mean?"

Donald shook his head:

"I don't know, maybe it's a treasure or maybe it's a trap."

Bernadette thoughtfully that the extraordinaries of the soothsayer path would hear a clear whisper when they were promoted, and that was two words:

'Hornachis', 'Fregra'.

The former is a place name that points to the Hornachis Mountains.

The latter is a personal name, pointing to the ancient god 'Demon Wolf of Destruction' Freegra of the Second Age.

The truth of this whisper is actually the ancestor of the House of Antigonus, who sleeps at the summit of the Hornachis Mountains, who hoped to lure the extraordinary of the soothsayer to the Hornachis Mountains.

And since the Antigonus family was wiped out by Mr. 'Fool', this kind of whispering has naturally disappeared.

The Extraordinaire of the Diviner Path will no longer be bothered by whispering.

But now some members of the Esoteric Order suddenly heard the whispering, and although the content of the whispering changed, the essence of the whisper was to lure the extraordinary person of the soothsayer path to go to the place in the whisper and look for the so-called 'treasure'.

The only doubt is, where does this babble come from?

First of all, it is certain that the whispers must belong to the angels of the soothsayer path, and only angels can do similar things.

But the question is, the ancestors of the Antigonus family and Zarathu have fallen, so who can this 'whisper' come from?

"Zarathu is not dead yet?" Bernadette muttered to herself.

Her father once said that if you eliminate all the impossible, no matter how unbelievable the rest is, that is true.

The fall of the ancestors of the House of Zarathu and Antigonus was the one who personally acted on it, and theoretically there should be no mistakes. But there are exceptions to everything, such as Zarathu, like the ancestor of the House of Antigonus, who possessed an additional extraordinary characteristic of the 'miracle master'.

The ancestors of the House of Antigonus were affected by the eternal sleep of the goddess of the night, and even if they had the extraordinary characteristics of the 'miracle master', they could not be laid out in advance. But Zarathu is different, as an angel who has lived from the Quaternary to the present, his vigilance is still above that of the Antigonus family, and he can use the extraordinary characteristics of the superfluous 'miracle master' to play the game.

And according to the information that Bernadette had, Zarathu had been trying to isolate the superfluous extraordinary traits to resurrect -

This is a trick that the other party learned from her father.

Sequence 0 of the Black Emperor's path, even if it has fallen, and the extraordinary characteristics and uniqueness have been divided by others, it can also be resurrected and returned, and forcibly stripped of the extraordinary characteristics and uniqueness that have been accommodated by others, and re-become the true god of Sequence 0.

This is an extraordinary ability that belongs only to the Black Emperor's path, but Zarathu sees an opportunity in it - since the Black Emperor can be resurrected, and the Miracle Master can be resurrected, the angels of the Fortune Teller path may not be able to resurrect in a similar way to the Black Emperor.

For example, separating a part of one's extraordinary characteristics and hiding the characteristics in a specific way. In this way, even if Zarathu's essence had fallen, he would be able to resurrect with the help of this extraordinary characteristic.

And the whispers heard by the members of the Esoteric Order should be one of the after-hands left by Him to awaken Himself and guide them to the appointed place to resurrect Him.

Antoine must have heard this kind of whispering alone, and there must have been people in the upper echelons of the Esoteric Order who heard it, and heard it even more. Antoine only heard the words 'Orville' and 'Diran', and the demigods might have known exactly what the location represented - such as the extraordinary properties of Sequence 2.

In this way, even if the top leaders of the Esoteric Order know that it is a trap, they will willingly step into the trap.

After all, it was the extraordinary trait of Sequence 2, and it was the key to their promotion to angelism.

But the demigods of this path are notoriously cautious, and they don't risk their lives easily. Therefore, it is necessary to use other people to test the danger of the trap, such as Antoine.

He could hear the whispering, and he was qualified to enter the trap.

And his strength is limited, and the demigods can ensure control over him with their absolute strength.

However, although Sequence 6 is not strong enough, as long as it is further cultivated into Sequence 5, it can be used as the main force to explore the trap.

But even so, it is only a 'family matter' within the tantric order.

And the foreign minister's intervention is also obvious: the Steam Church is the only person in Intis who can counterbalance Russell, but now the Steam Church has obviously compromised, which makes the top of the Intis government see no hope of victory.

Therefore, they can only hope to introduce external forces to continue to fight, and an angel in Sequence 2 is naturally their key target.

Whether it's the esoteric order's members who are promoted to angels with extraordinary traits, or the resurrection of Zarathu, they can win the support of an angel. In this way, it may be possible to maintain their power for this fragile balance now.

"Naive thoughts."

Bernadette whispered to herself that Zarathu could not save them, but would only hasten their demise.
