Glancing at Daniz's expression, Anderson continued as if he hadn't noticed anything:

"However, their brains seem to have been eaten by living corpses, and they are so fanatical that they are almost stupid, and they don't quite fit my aesthetics, so I cheated something and quit.

"Hey, why are you a little pale, sweaty all over your face, and have sunstroke?

Daniz raised his right hand, wiped his sweat, cursed twice in his heart, and forced a smile to say:

"I've heard people say that once you believe in an evil god, it's almost impossible to get rid of it. ”

As he spoke, his chin was raised, and he looked like I see how you died, completely ignoring the fact that Gelman Sparrow had just offended the Aurora Society and was wanted by the followers of the "True Creator", nor did he think that he was believing in a "fool" who was suspected of being an evil god.

"That's right. Anderson replied with a smile that did not appear to be a bit gloomy, "I don't really believe, and I was reciting sentences that I changed from the name of the god of knowledge and wisdom, and they didn't like to use their brains anyway, no, they didn't have this thing at all, as long as they pretended to be pious on the surface, they could be deceived by a random reason." ”

Without waiting for Daniz to discuss this, he instead asked:

"Why did you suddenly talk about the Aurora Club?"

Daniz took a bite of the barbecue hard, chewed and swallowed it slowly, and deliberately waited twenty or thirty seconds before saying:

"Because I remember one thing, Gelman Sparrow didn't know what he did, and was listed by the Aurora Society as a major target that must be eliminated, and by the way, the Spirit Order, and you and I are both recognized as having a connection with him. ”

"Let me be careful of the people of the Aurora Society and the Spirit Order?" Anderson nodded abruptly and said with a smile, "Something like that, you seem to have said it once recently, the Rose School, the Storm Church, and the Rune Army...... Hey, sometimes I think Gelman Sparrow is better suited to be a hunter than I am. ”

Daniz rarely refuted, and lowered his head with deep sympathy.

Anderson thought for a moment and abruptly changed the subject without warning:

"What exactly do you want to do when you come to West Bailon this time, do Gelman Sparrow a favor?"

Hearing this question, Daniz was silent for a second, put down the things in his hand, and unhurriedly tidied up his clothes and said:

"Survey of the beliefs of all strata of the population in West Bailang. ”

This was the purpose of the trip that he confirmed after discussing with the "Lieutenant General of the Iceberg" Edwina, to put it more colloquially: to investigate the development and sphere of influence of the major secret organizations in West Bailang.

Of course, this will also come with initial contact with the local ruling forces to find out if they have any need to buy guns and ammunition.

"......Survey of the Beliefs of All Classes of the People in West Bailang," Anderson repeated Daniz's words, reflexively raising his right hand and rubbing the corners of his forehead, as if he had a headache.

After ending the Tarot Society, reminding the "Star General" to pay attention to the "investigation" of the Aurora Society and the Spirit Order, and that it is best to seek the help of the Morse Ascetics, Klein was busy completing the three-way transaction of "World", "Moon" and "Sun", and received 5,000 pounds in cash.

When he had eaten dinner, he read the newspaper with an unlit decorative pipe, and then saw his young lady messenger come out of the void and bring a letter.

"Leonard's ......" Klein reached out to take it, and as he watched for Renette Tinicol to stay, he noticed that the messenger lady had quickly returned to the spirit realm.

This led him to confirm that Leonard Mitchell had paid the postage, so he pulled his other hand out of his coat pocket and unfolded the letter:

"Ince Zangwill appeared in East Bailang, suspected to have met with Palenque Tahib of the Spirits Cult's Artificial Death Sect......"

Ince Zangwill...... Klein chewed on the name and slowly leaned back against the back of the easy chair.

In the letter, Leonard asked him to do some research in the shadows to find out what Ince Zangwill's purpose was.

"But the problem is that last time I mentioned that '0-08' has a characteristic similar to 'everything that is said must be known', and knowing it, it will be known by it at the same time, and it is good at arranging coincidences, so that people will follow its baton unconsciously...... In this case, it is difficult to investigate Ince Zangwille without being noticed by '0-08', not only is there no possibility of success, but it is also easy to expose himself......" Crane thought as he let "Winner" Enzo go behind his back and squeeze his shoulder.

He read the letter from Leonard Mitchell again from the beginning, hoping to find more clues and possible investigative entry points in those few sentences:

"East Bailang...... Spirit Order ...... Artificial Grim Reaper ...... Palenque Tassib...... What did Ince Zangwell do with them, seeking allies for the royal faction behind the Beckland smog?

"Artificial Death Sect...... Artificial Grim Reaper ......"

Klein thought about it, and suddenly remembered something that almost no one knew except himself and Mr. Azik:

The "Goddess of the Night" has initially controlled the "uniqueness" of the "Grim Reaper" path, that is, the "Artificial Grim Reaper", and is currently usurping, digesting, and mastering the corresponding authority!

In other words, the object of the "Artificial Death" faction of the Spirit Order has been regarded as the "Goddess of the Night" to a certain extent, and when the transfer of authority and control is over, they will inevitably suffer a certain amount of purge, gradually integrate into the Night Church, or continue to operate in their current capacity, contact with other factions of the Spirit Order, contact with various hidden forces, and cooperate with the "Night Watchmen" without a trace.

For Klein, this was not the point, but he remembered that the ancient texts he had collected earlier mentioned it:

In order to artificially create the god of death, the members of the Spirit Order will pray to the "uniqueness" every day, as if the other party is a real god, trying to arouse its spirit little by little, so that it can be activated step by step.

Of course, this is only part of the plan, and it is not critical.

"Is it possible, then, that Palenque Tassib, in his prayer to the 'Artificial Death', mentioned Ince Zangwill's purpose in order to gain protection?

But what he didn't expect was that the 'artificial god of death' on the opposite side had been controlled by the 'goddess of the night', and although he had not yet become the incarnation of the other party, he had also lost his 'freedom'.

From this point of view, if you directly arrange the ritual and pray to the goddess, you may be able to get the purpose of Ince Zangwill...... This may not be impossible!" The more Klein thought about it, the more he felt that his seemingly ridiculous plan had a chance of success.

And the basis for this possibility to become a reality is:

The "chieftain" of the enemy is our "undercover agent"!

Asking Enzo to stop pinching, Crane slowly got up and paced back and forth, thinking about whether and how to try it.

"Ince Zangwill is a traitor to the Church, a disgrace to all the 'night watchmen', and the Goddess should be glad to have the opportunity to purge him, and not mind a little help......

"But now is the critical period for the goddess to digest and grasp the authority of the 'artificial death', and he may not be able to respond for a long time, only to maintain the feedback of normal ritual magic, and I lack the corresponding materials......

"Also, I have been admonishing myself to be wary of not trusting and relying on the Goddess completely...... Pray directly to Him to get the 'oracle', I always feel that it is not very good, I hope to keep a safe distance......" The thought was full of thoughts, and Klein hesitated for a moment.

He spread his mind and tried to find a more acceptable solution.

Suddenly, he had an even more ridiculous idea:

Pray directly to the "Artificial Death"!

On the one hand, there is actually no danger in this, because the "Artificial Death" itself does not respond to prayers and rituals, and if it gets feedback, it means that the essence is that the "Goddess of the Night" is "operating", on the other hand, Klein has the feathers left over from the by-product of the "Artificial Death Project", and has the Azic Bronze Whistle, so it doesn't take a long time to gather materials to be able to arrange the ritual of praying to the "oracle"!

"In addition, there is also a layer of separation, not a direct 'connection' with the goddess, maybe this can also help him further grasp the authority of the 'artificial god of death'. Crane relieved himself and began to bust around the room.

He first used the "Sacrifice and Giving Ritual" to take one of the remaining two feathers and the long-unused "Full Moon" essential oil, night vanilla powder and other items back to the real world, and then, transformed the altar and completed the preliminary preparations for the ritual - anyway, the essence was to pray to the "Goddess of the Night", so he didn't bother to buy additional ritual materials in the "Grim Reaper" realm.

This was not fundamentally different from normal ritual magic, and after skillfully lighting a candle, dripping essential oils, and drawing occult symbols such as "man" and "secret" on imitation parchment, Crane pressed the Azk bronze whistle against it in a light mist that rose up.

Then he placed the white feather, stained with light butter, into the silver bowl where the herbal powder was burning, and saw that it was not curled at all, and there was no sign of charring.

Exhaling silently, Crane took a step back and chanted in Hermes:

"You are the essence of death;

"You are the sovereign of the dead;

"You are the final destination of all living beings.

"I pray for your help and for knowing the purpose of Ince Zangwill's liaison with the Order.

“......”

As soon as he finished speaking, the three candle flames suddenly expanded, and they seemed to become a lot brighter, but they were dyed gloomy green, and the surroundings suddenly became cold.

Crane closed his eyes and meditated for thirty seconds with a little trepidation, then walked to the front of the altar, picked up the "Full Moon" essential oil, and dropped a drop on each of the three candles.

With this done, he retrieved the Azic bronze whistle, grabbed the imitation parchment, brought it to the candle flame that symbolized "me", lit it and threw it into the silver bowl.

With a sweep of the ground, the white feather that had not been damaged rose into a pale flame, completely covering the entire silver bowl and obscuring Crane's vision.

After two or three seconds, the flames completely receded, and only a pile of powder remained inside the silver bowl.

Those powders are windless automatic, forming word after word:

"Evil spirits possess and need to be exorcized. ”
