Chapter 67: The Growing Tree

"It's Bishop Hall!" It was a child's voice with some joy, and before he could finish the sentence, another child on the side could not wait to ask Old Neil:

"Is it safe out there? Grandpa Neil? ”

Looking at the children with a little expectation in their expressions of fear, Audrey took a deep breath and said after pondering her words for a while:

"Wait a minute, kids. It has not yet returned to its usual safe condition. But luckily, a member of the church, my friend, is here, and he's going to take you out of here and back to the church's headquarters in the city. ”

Audrey's tone paused slightly, and she smiled as she introduced to the children:

"This is Mr. Moriarty—ah, Archbishop Moriarty."

Audrey looked at Crane and asked for Crane's opinion before she said anything more.

Facing Audrey's eyes, Klein nodded slowly, he can now be called the archbishop, and there is no need for him to continue to hide his identity in front of these children.

Even further, as long as this digested potion is completely digested, and the second sequence of getting close to the gods, Crane is the earthly angel of the Night Church and the Church of the Creator and the Tarot Order. And that day won't be too long.

With the extraordinary characteristics of the "Traveling Mage" of Sequence 2, Crane didn't even need half a year to be promoted and become an angel.

And once he made such a choice, when the time came, he would have to face the will of Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun.

After Audrey introduced the children to Klein, her language gradually became fluent:

"He will send you back to the church, and now our church is under the ...... of the God of War Church The infidels attacked, the monastery could not stay for the time being, and it was dangerous outside. ”

"Then you will go through a door of light, and you will go through that door of light, and you will be back in the church."

Listening to Audrey's words, one of the older children clenched his fists, half worried, half worried, and asked Audrey:

"What about you, Bishop Hall? Are you ready to go back with us? ”

"I'm not going back – I'm going to go out and save people, and there are a lot of people who are in danger right now." Audrey took a deep breath and recognized the child. She smiled softly and said to the child, "Omar, you're going to protect your sister, aren't you?" ”

Looking at Audrey's expression, the child first showed a little timidity, and then plucked up the courage to say to the bishop in front of him:

"I will." He looked at Audrey with a resolute expression like a little knight: "Our house was destroyed by a bomb...... I won't let anything happen to my sister again, I swear (Note 1)"

He was holding his sister, who had grown up in the church as an orphan who was a bit more mature than the average person. But despite this, the younger sister still looked a little afraid, she hugged her brother tightly, and did not dare to say anything, but her body trembled slightly.

Although before the bomb came, Neil Sr. smelled something wrong from the altered all-weather radio of the "Hidden Sage", and hid in the shelter with the children in time.

But even so, the bomb exploded just after the children entered the shelter, and the devastation caused the children to tremble and make it difficult for some of the younger children to maintain their calm.

Due to the perennial friction between Rune and Intis, and the fact that some of the children who had lost their parents were also taken in by the Church, Audrey remembers that the siblings' father died in the "Rune-Intis" border conflict.

Her expression suddenly became complicated, she slowly squatted down, and her hands, which were still stained with a little blood, gently stroked the head of the child in front of her. But the next thing she heard was the child in front of her saying to her:

"Bishop Hall, you must be okay too."

The child snorted, his tone no longer filled with the knightly promise of the moment earlier, but there was a hint of attachment in his tone.

The monastery where Audrey was bishop had just been established, and these children were able to live a stable life after the monastery had a place, although Beckland also had a pension for the families of the fallen soldiers, but how could it be so easy to actually implement it?

Listening to the child's tone, Audrey was stunned, then smiled and comforted:

"I'll be fine, don't worry."

"So, go home with Archbishop Moriarty...... bar. We'll see you later. ”

Audrey maintained a gentle smile on her face, and one by one sent these children into this "traveler's door".

In the same way, watching his puppet escort the children and old Neil out of the "Traveler's Gate", another "Traveler's Gate" was opened, and another Secret Puppet walked out of the Light Gate.

His appearance is no different from the previous secret couple, as if he is the next "Sherlock Moriarty". The secret puppet spoke in a slightly silent voice, and there was some emotion in his tone:

"War ......"

This was the first time Klein had seen war between people. Even in the modern society before being picked by Tianzun to the Source Castle, Klein had only seen such a war from the news.

The war depicted in words is destined to be just petals in the water, merely floating on the surface. Sometimes it will even be crowned with all kinds of righteous romance;

Only those who have witnessed the war know the cruelty of war, and the smell of burnt and strong smell of blood stimulates Klein's senses all the time. Even though his body had been transformed into an incomplete mythical creature, the other part of his human body still gave him a strong sense of disgust.

If it weren't for this strong feeling of nausea, Klein would have thought that he had lost his empathy as a human in the process of rising through the ranks.

The part of the mythical creatures is constantly urging Crane to hunt down all the beings with extraordinary characteristics around him, causing more tragedy; And the human part is a reminder to Klein, "You can't do this, and when you do, you're God, not man."

And thanks to his disgust with such scenes, although divinity occupies a part of human nature, Crane still considers himself to be his original self.

At least he would be outraged by such a war, rather than watching innocent people slaughtered with butcher's knives wielded by the Extraordinary from the perspective of a bloodless and tearless monster.

This made him a little glad that he had not been affected by Tianzun, thinking that everything was just his own toy, a "puppet" in his palm.

Crane was angry with the gods.

Regardless of position.

It was only from the moment the god swung the butcher's knife at the weak that Crane thought it was worth the rage. But he could only think that it was worthy of anger, and he had no way to condemn the gods.

Some gods are not human, so they don't empathize with them, which is a difference between races; And some gods see believers as bargaining chips also to save the world, to save the majority at the expense of the few.

- To the gods, believers are nothing more than consumables.

Klein understood, but did not approve; He will not shout righteous and awe-inspiring slogans all day long to stop the progress of these gods to save the world. Because now he does not have the ability to save this world, and he does not have the ability to keep this world intact from the mouth of the outer gods.

However, if he had enough strength, he would not hesitate to stop the gods from doing so, and take on the role of salvation himself—for this is his homeland.

- There are people here who are worthy of his affection.

"Huh."

A familiar voice flashed in Crane's ears, as if mocking Crane's inherently arrogant nature as he was. Klein took Tianzun's voice as a deaf ear, because if nothing else, this was also one of the sounds recorded by Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun in advance.

If He could really influence his own will now, then Crane didn't think he would have such an attitude towards ordinary people. He had never felt that he could compete with an old will at this stage.

Hearing Klein's long sigh, Audrey looked at Klein, who was walking outside the convent in a sea of fire, and asked:

"Mr. Moriarty, what should we do now?"

With Leonard in mind, Audrey didn't call Klein Mr. "The World."

Klein glanced at Audrey and patiently answered Audrey's question: "My secret puppet is now intercepting the airship of the Fossack Empire. If nothing else, Fersak, who is already ready for war, will next declare an all-out war with Rune. ”

"All we can do now is stop the air strikes in Fosak. Although I have turned many pilots into secret puppets, the first round of bomb drops has been completed, and the Vorsack Empire has achieved its strategic objectives. ”

Crane's whole body, including the six hundred "spirit worms" separated from his body, thought at the same time, and quickly sketched out Beckland's current situation in his mind. All of these conditions came from the sight of the "secret puppets", and the cascading intelligence formed a complete top-down view in Crane's mind.

He suddenly felt like a sharp machine, thinking so freely that he even had the illusion that he could know everything.

But Klein quickly reined in his emotions and continued to analyze Audrey:

"I'm afraid that Beckland has suffered heavy casualties, and now Beckland is a hotbed for evil gods to come; We need to find out the demons and witches who are still in Beckland, and prevent these demons and witches from summoning evil gods with the help of the massive death of Beckland. ”

Speaking of this, Klein couldn't help but think of the previous "cataclysm" scene, and couldn't help but feel a little headache: which gods were plotting with each other this time, and what were they plotting?

Now we are desperately lacking in information, only that there is a "mother tree of desire" in it...... So what is Gao Wei doing? He's not the kind of person who sits still, ahem, waits for God.

And Archbishop Anthony has also disappeared, and he cannot be contacted now. Klein rubbed his forehead, what happened to Archbishop Anthony......

"Wherever Archbishop Anthony is now, we need to find those demons and witches."

He made the final decision for the two people around him.

"How do you find it?" Leonard asked. He had already asked Parles Zoroaster if he could tell where the demons were planning to go. But alas, the answer was negative.

Klein was silent for a while, and his gaze slowly shifted from Audrey to Leonard:

"I'll go and pray to the gods first."

In the ears of Leonard and Audrey, these words naturally mean two things. In Leonard's ears, it was like praying like the goddess of the night, seeking the revelation of the goddess of the night, which also made Leonard's eyes light up, why didn't he think of it just now?

In Audrey's eyes, Mr. "World" wants to ask Mr. "Fool" for help, which also makes Audrey not only have to look forward to what role Mr. "Fool" played in this incident?

Mr. "Fool" has been investigating George III's desire to become a god, so is Mr. "Fool" on the side of George III or on the side of other gods?

With different expectations, the two watched as Crane slowly walked into the chamber and locked the door to the chamber dedicated to prayer.

The next moment, Crane's mind turned, and he entered the gray mist, and began to divinate the whereabouts of the demons and witches.

In the midst of his shattered dreams, he saw the demon enter a sea of blood, which was eventually swallowed by it; The witches are spreading the plague wantonly, but the route of gathering coincides with the demon's underground route.

Klein muttered, "There's obviously something wrong with the witch......"

"But the demon's actions are also vague...... There is a sign of being disturbed. ”

After a while, Crane came out of the secret room on one side and said to the two:

"Let's go search for the witch first, the witch is now moving on the ground, they are relatively easy to find."

"First stop the catastrophe they spread in Beckland, and besides, they are killing people in a targeted manner, and we must stop them."

"It's a witch again...... Audrey pursed her lips as she remembered the scene just now.

Even the Witch Sect sent a Sequence 3 "Ageless Witch" here, so it seems that their plans here are obviously not small.

However, just as the few people were about to act, they saw a tree suddenly grow from the outside world.

But at the same time, a shadow of a maniacal laugh emerged. The shadow almost fused with the towering tree, and there was a little blood-red glow in the center of the shadow's eyebrows.

He stands on the earth like a shadow of order!

……

The pot around Hugh's waist, which was guarding his escape, lit up.

Then it flashes at an extremely unstable frequency. (Note 2)
