"What's next?" Gao Wei asked Klein, and a heavy mechanical grinding sound came from the round mechanical cat ball.

"We're going north, we're going north." Klein said casually, "We're walking along the Hornachis Mountains towards Intis, and if we can meet Amon on the way, then we're ready for the future, aren't we?" ”

Although Klein speculates that Amon is likely preparing his own godhood ritual in hiding from him, he is also ready to face Amon through the "Source Castle".

And the capital that he can now fight with Amon also exists on the "Source Fort", relying on this essentia to exist. In order to be able to promote the master of mysteries without distractions, Crane is ready to give up part of his self to use the "Source Castle" in the final battle with Amon.

It's just that he's not determined enough now, and maybe this trip will allow Klein to determine what he wants in the end. At that time, Crane also believed that his "traveling mage" potion would eventually completely digest the remaining potions that had not been digested with this journey.

……

Audrey wears a black Dark Night Church uniform and a pair of leather shoes with slightly thick soles on her feet. With a small handbag in her hand, she stepped off the steaming train that was belching hot steam in the cold winter.

The cold air rushed in her face and followed Audrey's breath into her lungs. Even though she had been promoted to Sequence Five, she still felt a little cold in her chest with every breath.

Barrenness, this is Audrey's most intuitive feeling. It's so desolate, it's like Beckland's original East End compared to Beckland.

It's cold, and its inhabitants are able to survive on the abundance of minerals – a resource-based city to put it another way. Coal and metals are produced here, turning them into the lifeblood of the entire country's industry.

Not far away, dusty men with wrinkled faces dragged the minecart out of the cave and towards the foot of the mountain, where they soon disappeared into Audrey's eyes—they were scrawny and sad.

"Lord, forgive us our sins. Please set your sights on ......"

Audrey looked at a young boy beside her and began to pray silently, although as the night watchman and bishop of the Night Church, she should not know the staffing of the Creator's Church next door.

But thanks to the status of her current teacher, Gorvi Abraham, in the Aurora Society, Audrey knew that the teenager beside her was a listener who was allowed to be sent here because of her strong faith in the Creator.

Of course, he wasn't from Rune, and the local Church of the Creator in Rune was desperately understaffed - he was an extraordinary person sent from the relatively stable Intis to act as a bishop here, and Audrey only knew his code name as "K".

And seeing the young man in front of him start praying, Audrey's heart couldn't help but flash the sentence in the "Apocalypse of the Night".

"They were naked, without food and clothing, and had no shelter from the cold; They were drenched in the rain, and because they had no place to hide, they clung to the rock. ”

"They are mothers whose children have been taken away, they are orphans who have lost hope, they are poor people who have been driven away from the right path."

"The night did not give up on them, but gave them favor."

…… Is it?

Looking at the ordinary people who came out of the pit, Audrey had some questions in her heart, could it be that the favor given to them by the gods was to give them pain?

Although Audrey's idea seems a bit rebellious when she is wearing this church uniform, Audrey, who is one of the members of the Tarot Society of Mr. "Fool", can't help but have such thoughts in her heart.

"The gods need believers because the gods need their own anchors, so is it just a lie to love the world?"

She couldn't help but think in her heart, sighed a little, and continued to walk forward.

She originally thought that the young bishop of the Church of the Creator next to her would need to pray to the Creator for a while before she could keep up, but she saw that the young man was also walking towards the front with the same determined eyes, and his mouth was full of fanaticism:

“…… There is no time to delay any longer, I must save them. I can't let them live in misery anymore, that's what the Lord has revealed to me. ”

Despite the fact that the teenager's voice was low. But Audrey still hears his voice, and among the extraordinary characteristics she accommodates is the characteristic of a "listener", which increases the risk of losing control, but still gives Audrey a stronger ability to listen.

In short, the advantages of such a promotion method in the low sequence still outweigh the disadvantages, after all, you can get stronger combat ability, and for extraordinary people who have mastered the "playing method", the extension of digestion time is not a fatal flaw.

After walking for a long time, they arrived at a dilapidated looking church of the night, where the priest in charge received them with trembling hands. He was very old, and under the uniform of the church he wore peasant clothes.

Prior to this, the Night Church had not sent too strong Extraordinaries to this sparsely populated town, and the strongest Night Watch was only Sequence 7; And at the foot of this "Night Country", the Storm Church has no faith to pass on here.

After Audrey and the "K" of the Church of the Creator were transferred, the extraordinary people here have also been evacuated and arranged to other places to start tracking down the remnants of the God of War Church that have wandered into Rune.

Because George III took most of the army with him, the current state of the Republic of Rune is more delicate - although a large number of new soldiers have been recruited, it is still difficult to directly form a combat force.

The content of the conversation Audrey only remembered that the old priest had instructed the two of them. As he was leaving, the old priest took off his uniform and folded it neatly in a box under a cabinet dedicated to the goddess's symbols.

After one last salute to the symbol of the goddess in strict accordance with the rituals of the church, he left the church and cast a complicated look at the other two.

Although she doesn't remember much about the conversation, Audrey was very impressed by the look; And "K", who believed in the true creator, did not say much, and quietly watched the old man complete the last action of serving the goddess.

Compared to the Church of the Night Goddess, which has a church here, the Church of the Creator has never established a church here before. One reason is that the Church of the Creator has only recently entered the Republic of Rune, and has only established churches in a few large cities, and the other reason is that the original Storm Church has made it difficult for them to expand their church quickly.

But now it's different. The Storm Church seems to have changed its measures, and they have even vaguely resigned themselves to the Church of the Creator. This made Audrey wonder in her heart, and she could only guess if it was something that happened during the previous god war.

However, when Audrey sees "K" again, he has already put on a white cloak and a hood, hiding his delicate face under the hood.

While he was talking to the few believers here who believed in the true Creator, he was passing on the name of the Creator to others.

Audrey shook her head slightly, and after arranging the affairs of the church, she walked into the distance.

The Hornachis Mountains are already barely the borders of the Republic of Rune. Further southwest, the Kingdom of Fenerport and Marcy are located, so there is a military camp that oversees the two countries below.

And in this small barracks, Audrey saw three familiar figures.

"Good day, Viscount Glerinte, Prince Edsak, Tris...... Lady. ”

Audrey hesitated for a moment, not knowing why she wanted to call this "witch", but in the end she followed her heart and called her lady - Audrey had a bad impression of this "witch" who had done all kinds of evil.

Triss's expression was visibly distorted, she had been stuck in Sequence Five of the "Witch" path for a long time. She had lost some of her memories for some reason, and when she woke up again, she had been dragged out of Beckland by Glerlint and Edsak.

Then she found out that the kingdom of Rune had been converted into an empire, and then the empire was gone at a breakneck speed - she was completely out of touch with the times, and she didn't even know what had happened during this time.

Now he finally found that he finally had the opportunity to complete his ritual in this army belonging to the Republic of Intis, only to find that there were almost no demigods in the territory of Beckland who had no way to "hunter", and most of them were contaminated and taken away by George III at that time.

In this way, the spitting pain that has completed the ritual of the four demigods of the promotion sequence is abnormal, and she can't take the small army of 30 people she has formed to make a head-on charge with the "Red Priest", right?

Although not all of the "hunter" demigods were taken away, most of them were controlled by the spiritual pollution of the angel king who was closest to the true god'If she wants to find a demigod who has not been polluted, then she can only go to other countries to try to hunt or collect the main materials that still have the characteristics of the "hunter" demigod.

Either way, it's quite difficult.

And the most excessive point is that the great beings who had pulled them into that mysterious space before now rarely issued tasks to them, as if they were not needed anymore; But whenever the three of them remembered what this great being had said, they couldn't help but shudder in their hearts.

They weren't sure whether the Great Beings around them were genuinely talking about the destruction of the planet, or if they were amusing themselves by the agitated expressions of their words.

"Long time no see."

Gleilynt looked at Audrey in front of her, and her expression was relatively relaxed. Speaking of which, he was a little grateful to the two enemies of Edssack and Trissy, if it wasn't for the time when he fled from the Southern Continent to Baekland as a deserter, and then avoided the time when George III led a large army on an expedition, then he would probably have been taken away by the crazy angel king.

Now, after the fall of the original Beckland government, he has now used his experience as an officer to get a new position in the army. Due to the shortage of personnel in the troops, he is now also transferred here as an experienced "general".

Of course, for the gods, the intensification of the Honachis Mountains and the presence of troops were mainly aimed at Amun, who was now tracking George III or perhaps the "Half Fool". But for ordinary people, they don't know this; For the ordinary people here, they thought that the gods had finally set their sights on them.

"Several, long time no see. In addition to being the local bishop, I came here with a secret mission. ”

The secret task on my shoulders is not the same as the task of the goddess...... Well, Mr. Fool's mission is just as confidential and just as important - he and the goddess are allies!

Audrey thought so, but still a little weak.

Audrey spoke to Gleilynt. With a wave of his hand, Glerint drove away the ordinary people in the barracks behind him, and told them to practice in the distance.

After making sure that there were no eavesdroppers around, he looked up at Audrey again, with a serious expression:

"What's the matter?"

Although none of the three people present, nay, among the four, were completely devout believers in the goddess of the night, Gleilynt still asked very seriously.

Even though Audrey was here and became a bishop of the Night Church, Viscount Glerint was a little surprised. But a few years ago, he didn't think that he would join the army, he didn't think that the kingdom of Rune would completely collapse in a short period of time, and the days of being ruled by the king would become eternal history.

From this point of view, Audrey's becoming the bishop of the Night Church is something that ordinary people can understand.

"Have you noticed anything unusual in the Hornachis Mountains here? Well, not only the occult, but also the others. ”

Thinking that Amon might have somehow covered up the occult traces, Audrey added another question, but in the end she still didn't get the answer she wanted.

Despite this made her feel a little regretful, Audrey nodded and said to Glerint in front of her.

"Okay, I see."

"After that, please investigate this while you are on patrol, and if there is anything out of the ordinary, please be sure to tell me, it may involve the lives of all of us and the future of our country."

…… So serious? Viscount Gleilynt raised his eyebrows slightly, and he nodded solemnly at Audrey and promised:

"Okay, I see."

The town setting in this chapter is based on the coal mining town where Van Gogh once served as a priest.

Compared to Klein, who found a little bit of his own path, and the original audience demigod Audrey, the current shepherd Audrey (born somewhere) is more extreme, but still maintains a kindness.
