Chapter 183: Pressure
Hearing Mr. "Fool's" answer, the "Hermit" Gardelia and others inevitably had a strong sense of consternation.
In the occult, the "Abyss" is recognized as the most filthy, depraved, and chaotic place, the abode of demons, and now, most of the "natives" cannot survive there!
Is it the deterioration of the environment in the Abyss, which makes it impossible for the demons to adapt, or is the filth, chaos, and depravity there getting better and no longer suitable for the demons?
"Hermit" Gadelia had a similar idea to him, but he was more puzzled by why the Queen would ask such a question, and what was the meaning of Mr. "Fool's" answer, and how it helped the Queen to know about the secret things she wanted to do.
As for the "Just" Audrey, she suddenly thought of the "prophet" demigod of the Church of Knowledge, who had said that the end would come in 1368 of the Fifth Age, which was recognized by all extraordinary people who were good at prophecy, and even the gods declared so.
The current year is 1350, and the end is only 18 years away...... As a result, the "abyss" showed signs, and the filthy and chaotic environment, which was already full of abstract meaning, broke through the limit and became even worse? Audrey roughly had a certain judgment, and her heart suddenly became a little more restless.
Originally, because there was no sign of the end of the world, she didn't believe so much, and usually paid more attention to the current war and the people who died, wounded, and suffered in the war, but now, the mutation of the "Abyss" made her inexplicably frightened, and she desperately wanted to improve herself, and wanted to digest the potion as soon as possible, obtain the extraordinary characteristics left by Herwin Lambis, and be promoted to a demigod.
Only in this way can she have a certain ability to interfere and fight against certain things that she does not want to see.
Mr. "World" commissioned a little more...... "Justice" Audrey silently prayed in her heart, and quietly calmed her restless emotions.
Members such as "Star" Leonard, "Magician" Firth and "Trial" Hugh actually have certain doubts about whether the "abyss" really exists, because after the Second Age, the "abyss" has never appeared in front of the world, and most of the demons who are active in reality come from the Blood Worship Sect, and even the high-ranking demons and evil existences pointed to by the ritual have a high probability of being the top level of the Blood Worship Sect.
Of course, the evil god "Dark Side of the Universe" is widely regarded as the embodiment of the "Abyss", but his presence is very low, and if it were not for the occasional response to rituals and the characteristics of the demonic realm, I am afraid that it would be considered pure myth and legend, just like the giant king Ormir.
But even so, the confidential information of the Night Church that Leonard has access to so far also shows that it cannot be ruled out that the "dark side of the universe" is a disguise of other evil gods and hidden beings.
"Sun" Deric is not surprised, far away from some places in Silver City, in the depths of boundless darkness, there are many demons who cannot maintain a calm state, among which there are many demigods such as "devils", and there seems to be not much difference from "Abyss".
If it weren't for iconic things such as the "Giant Court", the people of Silver City would definitely suspect that the truth of their abandonment was thrown into the "abyss".
As the thoughts of the members of the Tarot congregation flickered, the "hermit" Gadelia restrained her doubts and continued to ask:
"Dear Mr. 'Fool', the second question is: Were those things that Russell the Great did in his later years influenced by an external and unnecessary influence?"
This question reminded Klein of the terrifying details of Russell's diary in his later years, and he sighed for a while.
He shook his head slowly, as a "fool".
No...... Those things were what the emperor himself wanted to do...... and as soon as the "hermit" Gardelia had an irrepressible disappointment and frustration, she heard Mr. "Fool" half-laugh and half-sigh:
"It's not the impact, it's the pollution, the pollution that is hard for me to perceive. โ
Contaminate...... Russell the Great was polluted in his old age? At that time, he was already Him, an angel on the earth, and he would still be polluted? This came from some true god, or was it the underground pollution that even the ancient gods feared? "Justice" Audrey was shocked, combined with the secrets she had learned, and had some kind of guess.
"The Hanged Man" Alger and other members of the Tarot Society also did not expect this to happen to Russell the Great in his later years, and had certain doubts about his purpose in creating the "blasphemy card".
At the same time, they believe that Mr. Fool's collection of "blasphemy cards" may well have a deeper meaning than they had originally inferred.
"In this world-wide game, only a big man like Mr. Fool qualifies as a 'player,' and we're just a card, or a few chips...... The Angel King, the Angel of Sequence 1, may be eligible to participate in ......" Alger the "Hanged Man" sighed and wanted to be a "player."
The story of the Emperor's later years changed from tyrant to evil deification? A book that begins with romance, inspiration, blood, love, adventure, and the rotten life of Intis's high society actually turns into a horror story? I don't even dare to write like this! If I were to write it, I would let the Emperor's final tragic ending stem from the betrayal of love, the betrayal of marriage, and the betrayal of promises...... "magician" Furth couldn't help but diverge his thoughts, and he had the urge to write a biography of Russell the Great.
Of course, there are not many biographies of Russell on the market, and some of them are even prohibited items.
Contaminated ...... It turned out to be ...... polluted "hermit" Gardelia, who was emotional and sad for a while.
She lamented that the emperor did not change from a hero to an evil dragon like the story of the dragon-slaying warrior he told, he is still a legend worthy of worship, and the sad thing is that it is not until today that this misunderstanding has been initially resolved.
After the emotions gradually settled, Gardelia recalled the contamination, and the more she thought about it, the more frightened she became.
She considered herself to be the one who knew Russell best, and knew very well what the Emperor had reached in his later yearsโMr. "Fool" was a convener, a witness, not a member.
But such a Sequence 1 angel who aims for the throne of the true god will be polluted silently, and neither he nor the people close to him will notice it!
This is more terrible than terrible...... "Hermit" Gardelia secretly inhales and exhales slowly, so as to regulate her emotions.
Then she bowed again to the top of the mottled table:
"Thank you for your answers, dear Mr. 'Fool'. โ
...... I also thank you for not raising the question of the superprogram...... "Fool" Klein laughed at himself, leaned back in his chair, and bowed his head gently:
"Let's get started. โ
As before, the members of the tarot congregation, who had just been promoted, were still digesting, or had nothing to trade, were temporarily in a state of no need, and after a few glances at each other, they decided to go straight to the free exchange session.
Of course, Emlyn "Moon" was a special case, and he would have liked to make a commission to help him get himself out of the ground of St. Samuel's Church, and yes, to this day he is still "protectively held" behind the Chanis Gate at the Diocesan headquarters of the Night Church of Beckland, next door to Bishop Utravsky, and during this time there has been no "night watchman" to interrogate them.
If it weren't for the fact that the insiders in charge of guarding the Sealed Land brought them a certain amount of water and food every day, Emlyn would have thought that he and Father Utravsky had been forgotten.
The dark and silent environment is fine, but it's a little cold...... But there are no dolls, no newspapers, no books, no historical documents, this life has no meaning at all...... Moreover, the "Night Watchman" provided all the blood of the ox, the taste was extremely poor, and the effect was not too good, and I was weak...... Emlyn opened his mouth, but didn't speak, because he felt that it was a very humiliating thing, after all, it was he who consulted "Xingxing" last time and promoted the matter of "custodial protection", and as a result, he was also "custodial protection".
I hope that guy hasn't forgotten about me and is trying to figure out how to let me out...... Emlyn glanced at Leonard "Star" and remained silent.
Leonard remained in a fairly upright sitting position, not responding to the Moon's gaze.
He didn't have much to do for the time being, because he was the one who proposed "protective confinement" in front of the archbishop, and Emlyn White was a vampire viscount, the equivalent of Sequence 5 Extraordinary, a moving humanoid bomb, and a belief in Mother Earth, so there was no reason to release it now.
I can only wait for the Bloodline to protest to us through other channels before I have room to operate...... Leonard "Star" has decided to wait for the meeting to apply for a separate communication, and let "Moon" Emlyn find a way to get the Bloodline higher-ups to contact the Night Church.
Their interactions were all seen by "Justice" Audrey, and they were directly associated with the question that Mr. "Moon" asked last time, and suspected that something went wrong in the process of carrying out "protective detention", but it didn't seem to be too serious.
I heard that the priest of the Harvest Church saved a lot of people during the Great Smog of Beckland, and I hope there will be no accidents...... Audrey nodded slightly, and set her eyes on the little "sun".
Other Tarot members outside of her also set their sights on "The Sun" Derik.
They all knew that Silver City was scheduled to explore the "Giant Court" last week, and the results should have been out by now.
"Sun" Derick sat up straight, glanced at Mr. "Hanged Man", and said very consciously:
"We completed our first exploration of the Court of the Giants, with three dead, one missing, and five alive...... We first arrived at the main entrance of the royal court, and saw two 'Silver Knights' guarding there in an unknown state, which is the Sequence 3 name of the 'Giant's path......"
