Chapter 264 Mr. X Takes Office

545

Before the Dark Saint finished the work at hand, roaring words suddenly sounded in his mind, and the world around him suddenly became quiet.

A majestic whisper penetrated his mind, and the language and disorganized words turned into information and appeared directly in his spirituality:

"...To end the investigation into the assassination? To bring in a new person? Praise the Lord!"

The Dark Saint pressed his temples and knelt down to pray:

"Follow your will!"

After the divine revelation ended, the Dark Saint walked around the table several times in the room with some excitement.

"The new man...the divine messenger named by the Lord." He gradually calmed down and began to skillfully figure out God's will. "Just after Louis died, a new So' and the 'voters', I must meet him first... Louis' matter also needs to be concluded, and I must handle this matter properly."

…

Klein followed Mr. Z into the closed factory area through the safe passage, walked through the sparse and dark woods, turned a corner, and walked towards a larger building.

The factory was not big and they walked in silence for a few minutes. Klein paid attention to the surroundings with vigilance and curiosity - based on his observations along the way and the precautions written on the signboard, he believed that this place should be a metal parts processing factory.

There are about four or five buildings, and it is unclear which one is a workshop. This scale can be seen everywhere in the suburbs of Backlund.

No one would have thought that this factory, less than ten kilometers away from the city, was the Aurora Society's stronghold in Backlund. Buyers who placed orders would probably have a hard time imagining that the goods they purchased were made by cultists.

In this era of imperfect identification and census, only a few months of gas and water rental records can be used as ID cards. People with truly sensitive identities have too many ways to hide and disguise themselves.

After entering the four-story building, his vision immediately became brighter and wider. Klein saw that there were several gas lamps on in this huge factory building, and seven or eight people gathered at the bright workstations with their backs turned to continue. Busy with something.

It's past twelve o'clock, and the Aurora Club's factory hasn't gotten off work yet?

Klein looked at it with some suspicion, and found that those people were actually working overtime to polish the parts.

"When will the confessional open this week? I didn't have time to go last week, and when I came back, I was almost graded as unqualified. I have to go to the confessional at least twice this month. By the way, it's almost June. Who is number one in the month?"

As soon as the black-haired believer finished speaking, the believer standing opposite him immediately spoke:

"Mr. A, it's probably him, right? Lord Medici said that the Iron Cross will not participate in our evaluation. I heard that they have arrived in the Southern Continent and have begun to directly use their military merits to rank."

"Ever since he lost to Mr. Z in an evaluation, that guy A has been going crazy. He really doesn't want to sleep without sleeping."

A woman on the table next to her also joined the conversation amidst the noise of screwing: "But did Mr. A exchange his merits for a promotion this month? Then he might not be number one... Maybe we will have to call him the next time we meet. Your Excellency, the Saint. Thank God, I finally have the opportunity to do some simple work of taking care of the children."

Facing them sideways, a young man with curly brown hair yawned and couldn't help but joked:

"When you become a saint, you don't have to participate in the competition with us little extraordinary beings. It's a great thing! No matter who comes first this month, it probably won't be Z anyway. Mr. The monitoring hasn’t yielded any results yet..."

Klein watched as one of Mr. Z's hands suddenly fell off of its own accord, fell into the shadow at his feet, and then landed on the head of the speaking Aurora member with a clatter.

The young man with curly brown hair was so frightened by the bloody arm that he rolled and crawled into the shadows.

The other few people immediately ran around like headless chickens for a while. They already realized that they had deserted during work and were discovered by their leaders. They all ran into the shadows and hid.

Mr. Z strode over, first picked up his hand and pressed it on the still bleeding severed limb. The flesh and blood squirmed for a while before it was reattached.

Then he glanced at the shadows in the corner, reached out and grabbed a struggling member of the Aurora Society, then raised his foot and stepped on it. A believer with a big face and a bloody shoe print also came out. The four of them were very They were found quickly, and another one was missing.

At the same time, Klein also turned on his spiritual vision and searched for scattered spiritual threads in the factory. He saw a few black threads suddenly floating in the air in the corner above everyone. The most hidden one was actually attached to the on the ceiling.

Klein secretly reached out to control the person's spiritual body thread. After a few seconds, he let go of his hand, and the person fell stiffly from the corner of the ceiling, hitting everyone's feet heavily. His limbs were twisted, his face Full of panic.

Mr. Z raised his head and glanced at the newcomer with a rather surprised look on his face.

He didn't say anything, he raised his leg and kicked his subordinate who was still frozen. He could see that the other party was not fatally injured, but was temporarily restrained by some means and fell from above.

lawyer? arbitrator? No, he didn't speak, maybe it was a sequence I didn't know...

Klein is still an outsider at the moment, and Mr. Z is a little more tolerant of his chatting companions:

"Go back as soon as you have made up for your working hours. If you are hungry, go to the cafeteria and get something to eat. Don't work overtime here and chat."

Several people lowered their heads and responded submissively. The stiff one also got up from the ground, and was driven to the work station by Mr. Z to continue working.

Mr. Z continued walking forward with Klein, and randomly found a topic to talk about:

"Your Majesty the Saint is going to summon you. He is waiting for you in front. He will arrange work and area for you. I wonder if you will take over the original work of Louis Wayne."

The original Mr.

The battle between the two "mercury snakes" did not depend on his will. He had no ill feelings towards Ourolyus, but he had a better impression of Will who always helped him. If this matter really fell on him, he could only try his best to help Will cover it up, or persuade him to change his family as soon as possible.

"By the way, what's your sequence?"

Klein adjusted his mood and spoke with some pride: "Sequence 5."

Mr. Z was a little surprised but not too surprised. The Extraordinary who could take over as the envoy of God so quickly must be a mid-series Extraordinary. He must have sufficient strength and piety towards the Lord. Although it comes from the air, the Lord and the Holy One have the final right of interpretation.

"arrive."

Mr. Z stopped in front of a staircase - they seemed to be on the first or second underground floor - and he said: "Follow your spirituality and go forward, and the Holy One will give you instructions."

Follow spirituality? Why don't you give me a room number?

Klein cursed a few words casually, then stepped forward and walked forward. He passed the nearest doors, and when he reached the fourth door on the left wall, his spirituality was suddenly touched and he stopped involuntarily.

it is this?

He tentatively pressed his hand on the door handle, but the spiritual feeling suddenly disappeared again.

no?

Klein had a guess. He held a coin between his fingertips, tossed it upwards covertly, and then caught it, face up.

He immediately turned around and took a step forward, hitting the wall between the third and fourth doors. He hit the stone bricks, but seemed to hit a thick film of water. Shadows wrapped around him from all directions. A bright light flashed, and Klein appeared in a carpeted room.

The carpet underfoot felt soft and thick. Sitting behind the desk in front was a young and pale man. In the spiritual world, it was a human figure made entirely of shadows. Black tentacles extended to all sides of the room, like a spider web. Spider in the center.

This is the saint of the Aurora Society... It is said that there are five saints in the Aurora Society. If Mr. A is also successfully promoted, there will be six...

Six saints, at least two angels, one true god, and countless mid- to low-sequence extraordinary beings.

They preach among the shadows and the people at the bottom, and have an unimaginably large number of believers. This is already the size of a church. No wonder the Aurora Society is recognized as the strongest among all secret organizations...

After all, Klein suddenly felt that he could gain a lot of resources by being a divine envoy in the Aurora Society.

"...You are the lamb chosen by the Lord. I will first claim that you are my favored one, and then gradually reveal your true favored identity."

While Klein was thinking, the Dark Saint had already started speaking first. As long as they don't die, the achievements of God's Favored Ones often begin as Saints. The Dark Saints are quite polite to their future colleagues:

"The end is near, and the doors of the Lord's sanctuary will be opened, and you will contact the elect who have been waiting there for thousands of years."

"That's your duty."

Help Silver City, no, help the survivors in the entire God-Forsaken Land? Now it shouldn't be called the "Land Abandoned by Gods"... Klein nodded slightly. He had already anticipated his mission, so he asked:

"how should I do?"

"The angels waiting in the sanctuary will provide help, and another great being will open the door of the sanctuary with a key and guide them."

There is indeed an angel in the Eastern Continent, the "outsider" who visited Silver City mentioned by "Sun", right? "Key" refers to some means of opening the Eastern Continent to the outside world? Or is it just a real "key"... and another great being will also be involved? Who else but the True Creator would help the people of the Eastern Continent? Fuck, could it be me?

Klein frowned and asked cryptically:

"Another great being?"

"Yes."

The Dark Saint's expression became serious: "He is the ancient one, the savior, the master more eternal than time and destiny, the god that the chosen people have been waiting for for thousands of years, he is the friend of the Lord, and his divine name is hidden. ."

...Is it me? He's the "Fool", right? The reason why we are not announcing the name of God for the time being is just because we sent people to search for the "Fool" before, which is a bit of a mistake, right?

Although the gods have the final right to interpret the holy scriptures, isn't it a little bad to fabricate a "friend" out of thin air?

Klein used his toes to dig out another Source Castle under the Dark Saint's office. He resisted the numbness of his scalp and the urge to cover his face. He gave up thinking and imitated the other person's appearance and became a little more serious:

"That's it. Praise this great being."

The Dark Saint was quite satisfied with his reaction and continued:

"Your mission is to contact the voters of the Eastern Continent. Since they have waited for this god, they should leave there. You must provide them with help and also hint to them that they believe in that great existence."

Klein was stunned - a hint? How to suggest? Don’t you even know the name of the great being? ...Oh, Aurora will tacitly assume that the people of the Eastern Continent have seen the "Fool"? Indeed, the true Creator has already made a trip there, giving the people of the Eastern Continent a reason to convert, and paving the way for the next actions of "The Fool" and I. Through the "Sun", I can naturally pass on "The Fool" In the past, the people of the Eastern Continent would naturally regard "The Fool" as their salvation. Coupled with the status of "Friend of the Lord", the "Fool" could easily gain faith in the land abandoned by gods...

Everything has been arranged properly by the true Creator, all that is needed is for Klein to act as the Fool and "Mr.

Klein felt a little irritable for no reason.

Then, he thought about the world where "Sun" Derrick and countless people lived - dark and dangerous, where he had to eat the flesh of mutated monsters, kill his relatives with his own hands, and participate again and again. After a life of exploration, Silver City may have had a better life among the survivors. There are countless city-states that have been quietly annihilated in the darkness...

"The Fool" once said to "The Sun" that as long as the other party continues to work hard to be promoted, one day he will be able to lead the people of Silver City to be rescued... At that time, it was just a blank check to maintain the image. Now it seems that this is really destined. fate?

After a few seconds of silence, he sighed softly and said:

"OK."

The Dark Saint folded his hands and nodded to Klein:

"This task takes a long time and is dangerous to a certain extent. Therefore, I allow you to overdraw your compensation in advance."

Is this a sign of goodwill to me? Because I am the favored one of the true Creator?

The wool that was delivered to his door was neither white nor smooth. Klein cheered up and felt that the Dark Saint was much more pleasing to his eyes: "What kind of reward?"

"A request, or an ingredient for your next potion." The Dark Saint said, "The premise is that you know the formula."

What a coincidence. The reason I came to Backlund was to steal Antigonus's notes to find the recipe for Sequence 4 - if I directly asked for a copy of the main material for Sequence 4, would Aurora really be able to produce it? Klein suppressed his thoughts and stated his request:

"I want him to appear in a state where he has been eroded by the core power of the seal behind the Chanis Gate of the Church of the Night for a long time."

As he spoke, Klein placed the gold coin containing the "Blood Admiral" in his palm.

He did not directly ask Senior to appear, because it would most likely remind the other party of Gehrman Sparrow.

The Dark Saint glanced at the gold coin: "Resentful soul?"

Then, he looked at Klein and said seriously: "If you are going to provoke the Church of the Night, then I will not help you."

Klein thought about the Aurora Society's seemingly crazy but cautious style, and raised the corner of his mouth as he said:

"I'm not that stupid."

"I just want to get something that's mine."

The Dark Saint took a second look at the God's Favored One, and after confirming that he was not joking, he took out a shimmering bullet from the drawer and threw it away.

"If you are discovered, remember to use this bullet to commit suicide." Although you are a favored one, don't harm us if you die. He paused and asked, "What are the specific scale and details of the church you want to provoke? 'The Sleepless One' or the 'Corpse Collector'?"

Klein held the bullet in a subtle mood and thought for two seconds: "Diocesan cathedral level, Sleepless Man."

The Dark Saint looked at him deeply for a while (So you are very brave, are you going to rob the Samuel Cathedral next door?), then wrote a note with the pen at hand, stamped it casually, and let the note be The shadow lifted it up to Klein:

"Let Mr. Z lead you to the 'pot of nightmares' in the sealing room."

"Put your resentful soul inside for fifteen minutes. This sealed object will cause hallucinations in those who come close. Do not knock it down."

It tastes good, right? Klein was shocked by this simple and crude erosion method.

546

June 5th, Sunday, in the castle of the Hall family.

Audrey was sitting at the desk, admiring the magical items she had just harvested.

It looks like a long black tulle glove that reaches the elbow. It seems to belong to the royal family and has a noble and elegant temperament.

This is due to the extraordinary characteristics of the "Chaos Tutor" sold by "World" Gehrman Sparrow, and was made by "artisans" for a certain period of time.

——Audrey asked her father, Earl Hall, for instructions beforehand, and received the answer "You can buy it, and you can use it yourself. It's good to be filial." So she specifically told Mr. "The Hanged Man" to let the "artisan" make it. An item that ladies can carry with them.

And this also made her wonder if her father had better magical items, or if the Goddess Church provided quite high-level protection.

According to what Mr. "The Hanged Man" relayed, she had figured out the effects and negative effects of this extraordinary item.

The "craftsman" has been extremely busy recently, with many orders. Both "The Hanged Man" and Mr. "World" suspect that the other party may be serving the secret organizations and resistance forces in the Southern Continent or Bayam. It is estimated that it will be difficult to use it now. I have ordered the same series of products at the same price.

During this time, the first batch of supplies she had saved by calling on her friends and elders had been sent to the colonies on the southern continent that still belonged to Loen, and then transferred to the frontline troops by the local postal department and compradors.

It is inevitable that some will be lost in the process, but these are the things of the noble children and will not be lost too much.

"Susie, I heard that a major general from the Levitt family has retreated to Port Behrens."

Audrey stroked the fur of the golden retriever with some sadness, and glanced at a newly added world map in her bedroom.

There is a red dot marking Alfred's location.

She could only roughly judge that her brother might be there, because war and turmoil cut off the mail route at sea, and Alfred might not have the chance to write a letter to her in a new place.

Port of Behrens is a seaport city at the northern end of the Southern Continent, facing the Rhoad Islands.

If this place is also taken away by the Church of Death, then the Balam Empire will truly take control of a strategically important port.

Therefore, Major General Levitt was asked by Loen to prohibit retreat and to hold on until reinforcements arrived no matter what.

"Do you think Major General Leavitt can hold on?"

Susie shook her head: "I don't know, Audrey."

"But you haven't played the piano for a long time because of these things. I hope these things end soon."

This news did not affect Loen's upper class, and the balls and banquets did not decrease as a result. At present, the middle class and common people, who are increasingly discouraged because the southern continent no longer exports raw materials, have no time to pay attention to these even more depressing news.

But this news gave Audrey a sense of urgency. From the day she heard Hibbert's story, Audrey was always in a state of emergency preparedness - if the Balam Empire owned the port, Then the war will get closer and closer to the northern continent.

The sealed artifact made from the Sequence 5 extraordinary characteristics was placed on the table. Audrey sighed and hugged Susie tightly: "I don't know which demigod the kingdom will send to support, Susie, I'm a little scared, we still have We need to improve ourselves faster and become Sequence 6 as soon as possible..."

…

Sunday night.

Klein stood on the balcony, looking at the street scene outside through the gap in the curtain, feeling uncontrollably a little nervous.

If nothing unexpected happens, he will start stealing the Antigonus family notes later.
