Hugh looked at the family in front of him, his eyes gradually softened, and he whispered:

"It's only been a year......"

In one year, she has gone from a wild extraordinary person to the leader of the official extraordinary person, Count Deere of the Kingdom of Rune, and the general director of MI9, the national intelligence agency! Unless one can further become an angel, this is already the limit of what an ordinary extraordinary person can do. Hugh wasn't greedy, though, and she was very content with it.

After all, the span in between is far beyond the imagination of ordinary people. Even Hugh would faintly feel a little strange when he thought about it.

How exactly did she do it?

In the final analysis, it is because of two existences - Ember and Fool.

Ember laid the foundation for her, giving her a chance to avenge her and clear her family's name.

And Mr. Fool's tarot meeting also broadened her horizons in the extraordinary world. But isn't the reason why she was able to join the Tarot Club because of Ember's introduction?

Her heart is undoubtedly grateful, and even because of the past experience, there are some different emotions.

And the members of the Tarot Order now understand that they, whether they are embers or fools, are the remnants of a bygone era—perhaps from the Age of Fire, which has disappeared into the river of history and is not even a little recorded, and they were gods tens of thousands of years ago.

It's just that with the advent of the deep-sea age, they were forced into a deep sleep.

These two beings did not awaken until the Fifth Age, and as they gradually regained their lost power, they began to plan to bring the past back to reality. Judging from the attitude of the Goddess of the Night and other beings, they don't seem to object to this, maybe some of them also know the secrets of the 'Age of Fire' and the 'Age of the Deep Sea', or maybe there are already beings among them who come from the glorious and magnificent 'Age of Fire' in their dreams, just like the embers and fools!

And she, or rather, they, are the chosen agents of these gods.

They reaped the tremendous benefits of this, going from being a low-rank Extraordinary to a Sequence 3 Sage.

Even, in the future, there may not be a chance to become an angel in Sequence 2.

It's just that the world is fair, and you have to lose as much as you gain.

As Russell the Great once said, there is no such thing as a free lunch.

Now that she has received gifts from those two beings, she must be prepared to serve them and even sacrifice them.

And in this regard, Hugh has already been psychologically prepared, and the only thing she can't worry about is her family.

But now there is no need to worry about it.

The exploits she had accumulated during the war had made her the Earl of Deere, the head of MI9, and had amassed her a vast fortune of millions of gold pounds, of course, not from the war, but from her family.

Hugh showed no mercy to the corrupt nobles who tried to commit treason, and neither did the king.

Their titles and fiefs were stripped and their possessions and wealth confiscated.

But in the process of confiscation, it is normal for Hugh to take a little bit as the person in charge.

In this way, even if Hugh dies accidentally in the course of his mission, the continuation of the Dill family can be guaranteed. The first is that the title of earl is automatically inherited by her younger brother, and the wealth she has accumulated can also ensure that her mother and brother can live a fine life.

Hugh was very satisfied with this, after all, wasn't that what she had come to Bakeland for in the first place?

As a member of the Tarot Society, Hugh knew exactly what he would face next—some beings from the starry sky at the same level as the true gods, or even higher, coveted their world, and once these beings came, an unprecedented end awaited them!

Although the true gods will protect the world, even the gods have limitations, and they cannot protect everyone after all.

If she does nothing, does not take a certain amount of risk, and enjoys the beauty of her family like this, she will eventually be completely submerged in two flutters, just like most unprepared people face a flood.

And now, at least one more road is full of thorns, and there is at least a glimmer of light on the road.

That needs to be grasped with the consciousness of sacrifice and with courage.

"What are you thinking?" Foirth looked at his friend suspiciously.

"Nothing."

Hugh shook his head with a smile and asked:

"What are you going to do next?"

"Same as before."

Furth spread his hands and said helplessly:

"I need to write a new book."

Hugh immediately realized that Firth, as a writer and the main compiler of the Word of the Fool, would of course continue to be responsible for this aspect, such as writing biographies of the heroes of the old 'Age of Fire' for sang.

The purpose of this is, of course, to deepen people's impression and understanding of the 'Age of Fire'.

After all, people now only know that there is an 'Age of Fire', and they are also aware of some of the great events that took place in this era. But if you are specific to some of the characters, the dreams are usually brushed aside, or even not mentioned.

In a common phrase of Forth: the story framework is complete, but the characters are far from full. The 'Age of Fire' that people dream of is the frame, and what Firth has to do is fill in the details and enrich the images of those heroes of yesteryear.

Hugh sat down beside her and asked with interest:

"Whose story are you going to start with?"

"Solar!" Furth said without hesitation.

In fact, she wanted to write about the old witch more, but it was a god after all, even if it was a god who had long fallen, but it was also a god after all. Even if she dares to write, others may not dare to read it, so it is better not to write.

Excluding the gods who couldn't be touched, there were many people left who could write, but Foirth chose Solal because Foirth preferred his stories.

Although she knew many more stories in her dreams, such as Karim's Igo, Hawkwood the Runaway, Orbeck of Biheim, Korakus the Spellcaster, Emma the Priest of Lothric, Rudos of Courland, Paladin Verdolink, Jack Baldo of Catalina, and many other wonderful legends, her favorite was Solal.

Solar's story is actually not so grandiose and full of ups and downs, but he can always appear when the undead are at their most desperate, and fight side by side with them to overcome difficulties.

Furth was self-aware, and she knew she couldn't be like Solal, but that didn't stop her from respecting him.

Furth took a bite of the sausage, and she muttered:

"When I finish these stories, the Abrahamic family will be responsible for spreading them around the world. It's going to make it a lot easier for me, but I don't know how the sales are. ”

Hugh rolled his eyes, the 'Age of Fire' had just reappeared, and now it was the hot stage. Once a story has been published and endorsed by the Church of Fools, how can you worry about sales?

It is no exaggeration to say that no matter how bad Furth writes, someone will definitely buy it, and it will be the kind that buys out!

What's more, Foirth isn't terrible.

She is already a well-known writer, and her previous work "Stormy Villa" has been well received.

What's more, she is not creating out of thin air now, but restoring it on the basis of the original story to make the characters more plump, which is not difficult, and it can even be said that she can do it with her hands.

Of course, that's a good thing.

Everyone is improving, and things are getting better step by step.

——

Queens of Beckland, in a luxury estate on the outskirts of Bakeland.

Audrey sat down at the dresser, patted her face, and whispered to herself:

"This is my trial!"

She took a deep breath and let out a long exhale, looking rather nervous.

Because next, she's going to hunt a demigod, a demigod of Sequence 3.

Although she has done this kind of thing a lot in the past few months, she has always been assisted by other members. This allows her to easily exert her strength without interference, and use this to complete the crushing of other demigods - in layman's terms, it is difficult to win or not by fighting more and less.

And now, she needs to play more with less.

And the destination is the headquarters of the Psychological Alchemy Society, the Garden of Eden.

Audrey calmed down and looked at the mask on the table. On the cold gray mask, the two eyes moved upwards and fixed to the forehead, as if they only looked at the high places, and did not care about anything else, giving people a funny, grotesque and hidden horror feeling.

This is 'arrogance', one of the seven deadly sins, and the evidence of the members of the Senate of the Psychological Alchemy Society.

Herwin Lambis, the former royal advisor, was 'arrogant', and by the time he fell, the mask had already fallen into Ember's hands. But Ember itself didn't need the mask, so it went to Audrey.

In fact, this mask is not only a magical item with a powerful power, but also a credential.

Audrey put 'arrogance' on her face, and the world in front of her immediately changed.

The ornately decorated rooms vanished, replaced by a strange city, one that shrouded the night.

In the middle of the city, there are magnificent buildings with a mysterious atmosphere and a dark feeling, and there are gentlemen in top hats and trench coats and women in intricate and gloomy dresses...... Everything seemed very harmonious, except that none of these people were human.

Among these 'pedestrians' are werewolves with sharp fangs in their mouths, bears walking upright, cats with languid expressions, strange people with colorful spiders on their faces, giant rats with red eyes, pythons with spitting cores, and some kind of canine creature that examines every passerby with a desire to mate...... There are all kinds of animals, but there are no people.

They wear top hats and trench coats, or elaborate dark dresses, trying to mimic humans in every detail, but they can't really look like people.

This is the Garden of Eden, a city of minds.

The animals in front of us who walk upright and dress up as human beings are manifestations of different aspects of 'bestial desire', which are more conscious, conceptual and abstract than physical.

Audrey looked into the distance, and a church stood in the middle of the city.

The church is more than 80 meters tall and is supported by huge black pillars, each of which is inlaid with a certain number of skulls, some of them from humans and some from different creatures, but they all have their hollow eyes aimed downward, as if watching every living creature that enters the church.

Like most of the buildings in the area, the church is exquisitely detailed, but it is composed of elements that tend to be nightmares, horrors, horrors, and mysteries.

As soon as they noticed the intrusion of strangers, the animals in top hats and trench coats, or delicate and elaborate long skirts rioted at the same time, and looked at Audrey with aggressive eyes.

At this moment, Audrey, wearing the mask of 'arrogance', had a feeling that the whole city was the enemy.

In the next second, led by the bear that was about to burst into formal clothes, the animals of the 'Garden of Eden' either showed their fangs or roared in a low voice, and once they were held or bitten, they would be polluted by the corresponding 'bestial desires', and could only rely on their own will or the extraordinary abilities of a few ways such as 'spectators' to resist them.

This is also the self-defense mechanism of the Garden of Eden, and if ordinary demigods come here, I am afraid they will also be at a loss.

But Audrey is not an ordinary demigod, not to mention that she is also a 'spectator' way.

She didn't do anything superfluous, neither polluted these 'beastly desires' with a spiritual storm, nor detonated these 'beastly desires', setting off a huge fireworks in the city, she just walked through these 'beastly desires' like a leisurely stroll.

And those 'animalistic' expressions quickly became confused, because they lost their purpose.

Even though Audrey was standing right in front of them, they couldn't spot her.

Audrey walked to the very center of the city, to the black church with skulls, and walked up the steps into the interior of the church.

Immediately, she saw a large, empty hall, a large cross and a gray-and-white dragon statue wrapped around the cross.

In front of the cross, there is a small long table with five seats on each side.

At this moment, at the top of the long table was a man in a black wheelchair, his face was abnormally pale, his pale yellow eyebrows were long, his hair was neatly combed back, and his forehead was slightly wrinkled.

This is the leader of the Psychic Alchemy Society, Bowly Dellau.

At the same time, he was also the famous hermit Eric Derek and the 'King of the Black Throne' Barros Hopkins.

Of course, no one knows whether he is the ontology or one of the identities now.

Faced with Audrey, who suddenly invaded the Garden of Eden, Bowy Dellaw pointed to the chair next to the long table and said unhurriedly:

"You may be seated, Miss Arrogant."

"You know I'm coming?"

Audrey stopped at the long table, but didn't sit down, just asked.

Bowley Dellaw smiled:

"I just found out, but I've been wondering, who could kill Herwin Lambis?"

"I didn't kill him."

Audrey shook her head slightly, Herwin Lambis was killed by Ash, and she was only a low-level extraordinary at that time, and the other party could kill her with a single look.

She whispered:

"I killed you."
