Chapter 12: The Next Investigation
After listening to Alger's words, Audrey was silent and nodded slowly.
Klein also nodded slowly, and after a while, he turned to Audrey and said:
"Mr. Fool is here to change that."
"Mr. 'Hanged Man' - I also hope that you will remember Mr. 'Fool''s instructions: 'He once said: 'He did not come here to make the world fight, but to bring peace to this world.'"
"As long as you can do this—" Klein lengthened his tone, "even if you bring a smaller number of followers to Mr. 'Fool', Mr. 'Fool' will still keep his promise." ”
Klein said word by word:
"If these people can have a better life, then what does it matter if the water of the fountain of wisdom is given to them to drink freely?"
"It doesn't matter if they choose other faiths after they have gained wisdom, the Lord doesn't care."
He looked at Alger, who was stunned in place, and laughed softly:
"It's time for us to go, Mr. 'Hanged Man'—praise the 'Fool', and hope your mission goes well."
Alger looked at the two men who had disappeared in place, his expression was gloomy - fortunately, Jovan was praying reverently towards the "Old Gate", not realizing that Alger, the missionary of the "Old Gate", had just quietly entered his home.
"'Give them freely the water of the fountain of wisdom to drink'...... Is it? Alger chuckled in a deep voice:
"It's like a repetition of the age of mythology. Oh, follow your will, Mr. 'Fool'. ”
After the two disappeared, Crane and Audrey appeared further north, on the coastline of Rune.
"What do you think when you see this?" Crane asked Audrey as they walked along the shore, watching the surging waters from afar bring fine sand.
"It's incredible." Audrey answered Klein's question as she looked at the distant scene—the colors were even more vibrant, as if she were still in the spirit realm.
In fact, the two of them are now in the gap between the spiritual world and reality, and with every step they take, the surrounding scene will be stretched in an instant; The two of them were rapidly approaching the border of Intis.
This is another manifestation of the authority of the "door".
There is no belief in the "Old Gate" in the Vorsack Empire, and Crane is also trekking towards the current place of High Dimension. Distance doesn't make sense for the "Gate" pathway, and he now happens to be on his way to Intis while investigating how to keep the Night Goddess awake, and it won't affect Crane's plans.
Moreover, the current "emperor", that is, Huang Tao, is likely to support Klein's establishment of faith in Intis, and he is almost completely on the same chariot as the high-dimensional seeker and Crane, the two "fellow countrymen" who rescued him.
After arranging enough faith, it's time for Crane to set sail and prepare to explore the starry sky to gradually digest the characteristics of the "Starkey" - exploring the starry sky far enough will increase the progress of Klein's digestion by a large margin.
"Even though I'm now pursuing a protective charity policy in Beckland......" Audrey looked at the little crab that crawled past her feet and then disappeared in a straight gray line as she lifted her feet, "but it didn't feel like it had much effect." ”
"This is normal: it always takes a country to solve poverty, and the process of testing each other with vested interests often takes a long time." Klein chuckled, "You see, Intis is in much better condition than Rune. ”
Audrey looked ahead—and saw a bright light in a blurred, brightly colored place in the distance, and beside her, Crane's voice came slowly:
"Next door to Rune, the current situation of the Intis Empire is much better, and the 'Black Emperor', as a god, has issued many decrees from top to bottom to increase the power of his country. This would give the gods more anchors, and more wisdom to emerge from the country—better than withdrawing free schools and financial aid and dulling the people. ”
"The nobles and merchants of Intis have no objection - ah, sorry, I see." Audrey nodded her head just as she wanted to speak, and the nobles and merchants of Intis must have objected, but their opposition must have been of no avail.
Although the status of the nobles is noble, their gods are the most noble emperors - no matter how noble the nobles are, can they honor the emperor? No matter how strong their strength is, can they strengthen the gods and spirits?
When ordered by the highest point of power and power, their opposition is meaningless.
Their rebellion can even be endearing when their power is so weak that they dare to rebel against the emperor when they have the opportunity for change, but never against the present god.
Because the gods can really destroy them, and the only one who can balance one god is the other god. In addition to the "Black Emperor" and the "God of Truth", the only enemies that will be hostile to the "Black Emperor" are the "God of Steam and Machinery" and the "God of Error".
Although the "God of Error" is clearly defined as an evil god, due to the fact that the high-dimensional overlook and Amon have a certain connection, Amun did not encounter much resistance when he preached his beliefs.
Not to mention, the current high-dimensional seekers are trying their best to erode the authority of the "God of Steam and Machines". He didn't intend to cause a god war, and after he became the "judge" before the high-dimensional seekers and brought Crane into the starry sky, a part of the outer gods had already banded together and were ready to open a small gap in the barrier outside the earth again.
If it weren't for Amun's previous use of his own divine kingdom to plug the gap, then the true creator would probably have already begun to try to contain the Chaos Sea again, otherwise the outer gods would have been able to break through some of their own power into the barrier.
"Primordial Hunger", "Circle of Fate", "Superstar Master", "Unquenchable Whisper" - among these outer gods who have left some power and back hands on the earth, except for the "Super Star Master" who has taken back all of his essentia, any outer god has a reason to attack the high-dimensional overlooker.
If the reason why they didn't do anything to Amun was because they were afraid that Amon, a dual-path true god who was suspected of having a high degree of revival of the will of the "Heavenly Venerable", would "self-destruct" and pull out the Lord of Mystery in advance, and Amun, who inherited most of the characteristics of the "Heavenly Venerable", was not so easy to catch and easy to let them be missed in the end, then the second reason was from the high-dimensional overlookers.
Although the pressure on them from the current high-dimensional downlooks is enormous, it is far from the point where they need to lift out the mystery so that everyone can end up together. After all, the high-dimensional overhead is not a pillar after all.
But because of this, the high-dimensional overlooker can't make a move against Amon, making Klein the master of mystery. Once the high-dimensional lookdown does this, then the outer gods outside the earth will also take action to solve the big problem of the high-dimensional downlookers, even if the "fallen mother god" does not stand on the side of the outer gods, it is difficult for the high-dimensional downlooks to be hostile to the double-digit outer gods.
Therefore, in this matter against Amun, the high-dimensional overlooker chooses to remain neutral; And Amon is also unwilling to clash head-on with the "Black Emperor" and the "God of Truth".
"That's fine." Klein smiled and whispered to Audrey, "I'm also asking 'Adolph Hill' to implement this set of rules in Rune now, but after all, Rune still has the Storm Church and those remnants of the old times, and the pace of our reform will inevitably be much slower." ”
"But I believe that as long as the trade between the two countries continues to grow, until the local business starts to decline – let them know that Rune does not have enough spending power and that the local economy will gradually decline the role of foreign trade."
"And when the time comes, whether or not to change will not come at their will."
Audrey listened to Klein's words and sighed slowly:
"It's going to come at a big cost."
"Who's to say it isn't?"
Crane shrugged his shoulders and smiled calmly: "But these prices have to be paid after all, of course, if these nobles and merchants have been obsessed, even if they are destined to lose some of their anchors, I am willing to remove them." ”
"Under their threat, humanity could come to an end at any time. Under such circumstances, neither I nor Mr. Fool would have the patience to take care of this country and grow up. ”
Speaking of this, Klein's tone changed: "What's more, sometimes, the value can't change because of the number of anchors they can bring. ”
They ...... Audrey seemed to think of something, but in the next moment she seemed to see a vague gray mist, which made her forget the memory she seemed to remember just now.
"This is ......" After "seeing" this gray mist, she opened her mouth in some surprise, Klein nodded, and said, "This is Mr. 'Fool''s gift to us. ”
"In our fight against the evil gods and the spread of Mr. Fool's beliefs, we will encounter a lot of dangerous knowledge, especially for you who are not exactly mythical creatures - some knowledge can be fatal."
Klein lightly tapped his temple with his index finger: "At such times, 'ignorance' is the best protection that the gods give to ordinary people. ”
"I see." Audrey let out a long sigh:
"Praise the 'fools.'"
Crane nodded, and continued to walk with Audrey into the distance. In the process of the two of them trekking towards Intis, Audrey suddenly spoke and said to Klein:
"Mr. 'World.'"
Crane tilted his head slightly, looking at the student next to him who he had taken in a year and a half ago, and he instinctively sensed that something was wrong.
"Speaking of which, I met another of Mr. Fool's relatives earlier." Audrey wanted to speak and stopped, but after seeing Crane's look, she opened her mouth and continued to him:
"He called himself 'Klein Moretti,' the 'Angel of Death' of Mr. 'Fool'...... Do you know Him? ”
Klein's face suddenly became a little embarrassed, and he turned his head to look at Audrey, with a look of surprise in his expression: "He told you?" ”
Audrey nodded obediently, and Klein's heart became mixed for a while. In his heart, Tianzun's haunting laughter resurfaced, and the next moment, Moretti's perspective memory appeared in Klein's eyes:
"Klein Moretti, just call me Moretti, don't call me Klein. Heh, it's a little habit of mine. Mr. Moretti spoke casually, his tone flat, "I am the 'Angel of Death' under the seat of Mr. 'Fool'. ”
Klein gritted his teeth as he recalled all this—there was obviously a high-dimensional overlook in the midst of all this. Crane remembered what the high-dimensional seeker had said to him about Audrey before, and it was hard not to think that this guy had been preparing for this thing for a long time before he even spoke.
"There is indeed such a thing...... Klein sighed slowly, and finally resigned himself to his fate: "Yes." ”
"That Mr. Moretti once said that he might return to Mr. 'Fool' after the war of the gods - so, Mr. 'World', will you, who are also Mr. 'Fool', return to Mr. 'Fool'?"
Audrey looked a little nervous for a moment.
"Although I am also a member of the 'Fool', the relationship between me and the 'Angel of Death', and between the two of us and Mr. 'Fool' is different." Klein shook his head slowly and asked casually, "Why do you think to ask such a question?" ”
Klein suspected that there was something behind all this, and he believed in what the High Dimensional Seeker could do to add an anchor to himself - even though High Dimension was once human, his ideology was clearly closer to that of the Outer Gods.
He supports himself and will try his best to push the factors that are beneficial to suppressing the will of Tianzun to his side, but advantage does not mean that it is correct, not to mention that the concept of this outer god is still different from that of a real human after all.
Audrey gasped softly:
"That's what you just said."
"Mr. World, you have never spoken to me like this - ah, you were my teacher before, but you were also silent then: you are now saying so many things that I always have the feeling that you will disappear someday."
If I disappear, then I will most likely become a god or fail. Oh, this is a "return to the 'fool'" for others, right......
"I hope that doesn't happen."
Crane looked up:
"We're here."
"The 'Trier' of Intis. I need to investigate what this ally of the 'God of Truth', Mr. Fool, is doing. ”
