Secret: The years I served as a foreign aid for the Aurora Club

Chapter 268 Today is Tuesday
553
"Has the Grim Reaper ever come to see you?"

The True Creator slightly opened his squinting eyes and said nothing.

Edward wondered curiously in his prayer:

"I noticed that His fate suddenly intersected with yours to some extent. It seems that you may not have agreed to His request."

The True Creator nodded: "Yes, the God of Death came to ask if I am willing to support Him in becoming the Eternal Darkness if He protects mankind."

“I think it’s a good deal.”

Edward trimmed his nails with a nail clipper, and used a nail polish to carefully smooth the rough parts. "It doesn't matter who the Eternal Darkness is. To be honest, I see that you are willing to continue to strive to become God. It happens that you are mentally strong. I don't mind helping you and doing you a favor. I also hope that you can add a few nails to God's coffin. It's not like you don't have the confidence to return, and the end of the universe is far from coming. Do you still need to let an Old One participate in the Doomsday War?"

Every time the True Creator heard the Outer Gods talking about the end of the world in an outsider's tone, he felt it was very strange.

What seems to be a matter of life and death on Earth may be just an ordinary game to the outer gods.

After all, in the starry sky, the aggregation of extraordinary characteristics makes countless outer gods constantly meet, fight, die, and devour each other. The starry sky PVP is endless, and the true gods start from the old cap, and there is no end until it is restarted. The so-called "doomsday" is only the "doomsday" from the perspective of the earth.

“The God of Death has been able to initially control the tributaries of the River of Everlasting Darkness. Although he has not yet returned to his position as a god, he has already put pressure on the God of Night and the God of War. Perhaps they regret not killing Xia Eggers together that day.” Edward said gloatingly, “The Uniqueness and Sequence One are right in front of them, but it is clear that they have lost the courage to go all out, so they subconsciously think that others have neither.”

The True Creator said calmly:
"You don't have to say more. I need to observe further... When do you plan to collect your reward?"

The Decayed King helped Him become a god, and even reconnected with the symbol of the ancient sun god. Of course, the real creator could not think that this gift was free. First give something, then collect the reward. It seems that the Outer Gods have learned a lot in such a long time on Earth.

I never thought that one day I would be able to experience the feeling of being forced to buy and sell again. The real creator is quite peaceful in his heart.

"almost."

Edward thought for a moment and said:

"The possibilities are all very strange recently. It seems that a writer is hinting that I should go to the sea, but this hint comes and goes. It seems to be related to my promotion. I don't understand what He is thinking."

Ince Zangwill was active along the coast and at sea, and seemed to have been contaminated by the demonic path and could not control his behavior. Therefore, although the Church of the God of Death had been contacted, the church was still waiting and watching. This was the information provided by Richard. Edward scratched his head after reading it. He did not even remember the name of the 0-08 pen holder, so why would he have the time to contaminate him? Since it was not him who contaminated him, it must be someone else who contaminated him and wanted to attract Edward Vaughn's attention.

“Hey, ally, maybe that guy wants to talk to me about something? I remember that He is still the King of Angels. Do you want me to tell you directly when I find Him? Then you can become a two-path true god, and I can become a three-path true god. We will both be one step closer to our goal, and everyone will be happy…”

The true creator hung up the prayer.

……

The moment he successfully left that strange town and re-entered the spirit world, Klein was almost moved to tears.

If the time flow in the town is the same as outside, judging from the sky and location outside, it should be around seven in the morning. After divination, he immediately chose to return to 160 Böklund Street, only to see that the illusion created by "Magic Mirror" Arrodes was still lying on the bed pretending to sleep. It seemed that he had not moved all night, and no one should have come to disturb him.

It seems that the church hasn't investigated it yet... This sleeping posture is so awkward... Klein secretly breathed a sigh of relief and saw the figure of "Dwayne Dantès" quickly dissipate and degenerate into a palm-sized mirror.

The surface of the mirror was rippled with water and silver light rose up, condensing into rune words one after another:

"Great and supreme master, what happened to you? Your humble and loyal servant Arrodes couldn't even sense you before!"

“Nothing.” Klein replied perfunctorily.

This allowed him to initially confirm one thing, that is, the "Magic Mirror" Arrodes was unable to see what was happening in the Misty Town. You know, this guy could even show the environment where the out-of-control Zaratul was.

After simply perfunctorily sending Arrodes away, he threw back the quilt, put on his nightgown, and then set up a sacrificial ceremony in the bathroom, sacrificing all the things that shouldn't be there to Sefirah Castle.

Klein sat in the first seat above the thick gray fog and sighed quietly.

"Sequence 0, 'The Fool'..."

The moment he saw this name, all the words that the True Creator had said flashed through Klein's mind. The shock he felt from not wanting to accept everything was even greater than when he heard Zaratul introduce himself.

A strong sense of fate emerged in his heart, and he felt that everything had been arranged from the very beginning, just like what "0-08" did.

"But these things can also be explained by reasons other than 'fate'."

"Because of that ceremony, I became connected to the mysterious space above the gray fog, and was naturally affected."

"And Sefirah Castle is obviously strongly related to the 'Fortune Teller' pathway, and the Sequence 0 of this pathway is called 'The Fool'. In reality, if I were to divine at this moment, I would definitely turn over the 'Fool' card!"

"Similarly, this also led to my subsequent use of the title 'The Fool'."

Klein tapped his fingers on the table. His heart was far less calm than his appearance.

"The True Creator seems to have determined that those who possess the 'Source Castle' will definitely become gods and save the world. The Source Castle is an item with a strong mystical connection to the 'Fortress' path. It can continuously attract 'Fortress' related items and Beyonders to appear. This means that it will be much easier and faster to obtain materials and potions than for those without the 'Source Castle'. If you are strong enough, it is indeed possible to become a god."

From the "Antigonus Family Notes" that appeared in Tingen, to the "Master of Secret Dolls" Rosago that he encountered as soon as he arrived in Backlund, he directly obtained all the potion formulas in the early stage, including Sequence 5. The former gave him a direction to explore and initially came into contact with the history of "Fortune Tellers", and the latter allowed him to not worry about the formulas before Sequence 4.

Now, he was drawn to the misty town by fate and the connection between mysticism and met the high-sequence Zaratul of the fortune teller's path... Klein has completely understood how powerful the "Source Castle" is.

It is simply a super strong magnet, affecting the fate of everything around it that is related to the "fortune teller"!
"So what does it mean to save the world?"

After being repeatedly hinted at and bombarded with the truth by the True Creator, Klein's spirit has become quite strong. He will no longer be as surprised and desperate as when he first learned that "this is the Earth" and almost lost control, although he still feels sad and lonely every time he thinks about it afterwards.

Klein, who was now much calmer and had a greatly enhanced ability to accept things, was now able to properly analyze the information related to his own fate.

"Well, the Abraham family's spiritual world wandering notes wrote about the prophecy of the yellow light 'Venetian' -"

"Watching the earth falling apart from the stars? Calculating the time, it seems to have been within the past fifty years. Is this the end of the world?"

Although many doctrines preach that the end of the world is coming, this is often just a means of propaganda for the object of their belief. If the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up. Besides, in this world, there are seven righteous gods besides the evil god. What doomsday can't be resisted?
Klein thought about it for a while but couldn't come to a conclusion, so he put the matter aside for the time being, hoping to get further answers from future explorations.

He adjusted his mindset and shifted his focus to the gains from this adventure.

“Sequence 4: Trickster.

“Main materials: the main eye of the evil trickster, the real soul of the spirit world plunderer.

“Supplementary materials: 200 ml of the blood of the evil spirit, 30 grams of the dust of the spirit world plunderer, 10 grams of the bark of the red birch, a piece of golden grape vine, and a finger-sized homemade rubber mask.

"Ascension Ceremony: Relying mainly on one's own strength and planning, in front of many spectators, directing a grand drama to murder a demigod or an equivalent supernatural being, and then taking a magic potion at the end of the drama."

Klein didn't have time to think about what this ritual represented. He wrote the corresponding sentence below the potion formula.

Then, he summoned a pendulum from the pile of debris, held it in his left hand, and began to divine.

Not long after, Klein opened his eyes and saw the topaz pendant rotating clockwise.

This means that the recipe for the "Trickster" potion in his hand is correct!
"For Zaratul, as long as the door is opened and the inside and outside interact, His goal will be achieved. And anyone who witnesses the out-of-control 'Fortune Teller Angel' will inevitably lose control and die, so it doesn't matter whether the formula is written correctly or incorrectly..."

But He wrote it correctly, and that was a bonus.

Otherwise, Klein would probably have to try his luck at the Aurora Society, or seek help from other high-sequencers. "Ever since the True Creator came, Will Auceptin has been reluctant to talk to me. Even if we want to communicate, it must be done in the dream divination at Sefirah Castle. It seems that He is very careful to avoid the True Creator's gaze..."

Klein could fully understand. After all, the True Creator had no relationship with Will Auceptin, but he had the "Angel of Destiny" Ouroboros who was looking for Sequence One and Uniqueness. He and Will Auceptin had been fighting for many years.

Klein didn't think he had the power to influence the gods' thoughts. Even if he did, the final solution would probably be for the real creator to not intervene and let the two snakes of fate compete on their own.

Perhaps, the best outcome is for the loser to keep his life.

“Maybe Will feels the same way, so he continues to keep in touch with me?” Klein smiled bitterly.

After sorting out all his thoughts, he returned to the bathroom without further delay.

554
In the East District, in a one- or two-story residential house.

It was almost five o'clock. Maria sat by the window on the second floor, her eyes fixed on the street in the distance. The coffee in her hand had already gone cold.

After a moment, her eyes widened slightly, but then her brows furrowed and her fingers clenched lightly into fists.

The person sitting opposite her picked up a shortbread from the plate and looked out the window as well:
"They're back?"

"came back."

Maria looked solemn. After a few minutes, a middle-aged man with a face as pale as a zombie walked upstairs quickly, holding a stack of bound documents, and said with a sad face:
"Ms. Maria, the port still won't let you go."

Maria took a sip of the cold coffee:

"What's the reason this time?"

"The reason this time is... the Rorsted Islands have closed the port we want to dock at due to the war on the southern continent, so we are not allowed to pass. Ms. Maria, do you want to change it?"

Before Maria could speak, the man with dark green eyes sitting opposite her sneered:
"It's useless. Even if you change the information, when you apply again tomorrow, they can say that the port you changed is also closed. The day after tomorrow, they can say that this route has been suspended. After all, they are the official ones. Even if it is not closed, it is closed. You can't dock at a private port, right?"

"The reason last time was that the ship did not meet the standards, and the reason before that was that the leader's identity was questionable. It has been delayed for half a month, and now it is already more than June. They just won't let you go. You can't fight them within the system. If this continues, no one will be able to leave."

"Nowadays, a few gas bills can be used as proof of identity. You have a complete and traceable household registration, but you won't let you leave. Isn't this deliberately making things difficult for us?"

Maria remained silent and drank the cold coffee sip by sip.

The zombie clenched the documents in his hand, and anger appeared in his voice:

"Our identities are all real... They have been registered with the government and the church! But they actually said that we were trying to hide criminals, threatened us to apply for the Sivella Field and even have the church intervene in the investigation, and even openly asked for a bribe from me... Miss Maria, this should be the church's intention, right? Because of the leader's matter!"

"It won't work even if I bring your little monster with me?"

The zombie Gavin's expression became subtle: "It worked... that means he was the only one who passed the review."

"It seems that the church suddenly remembered that we are members of a secret organization."

Maria put down the cup and said in a deep voice: "We are allowed to move freely because we are not aggressive. The organization's doctrine is to protect children and the weak, and to stabilize the lower class people, which is beneficial to them."

"Let's not talk about this for now." Maria looked at Gavin, "How many children are determined to go with us?"

"Almost all the mixed-race children and children from the South Continent are willing, a total of 122 people. The remaining children are already twelve or thirteen years old, have completed basic reading, writing and sewing courses, and believe that they are capable of making a living." Gavin replied.

After discussion, the leaders of the pilgrim sect chose to give priority to transporting children with southern continental and maritime ancestry.

Because under the same conditions, children from the northern continent are less discriminated against, can participate in more jobs, and it is dangerous for children from the northern continent to go to the southern continent. As the war situation gradually intensifies, the lives of children from the southern continent who are still in the northern continent will also be threatened.

Even in terms of faith, the latter is more flexible.

"I am responsible for the lives of these children. Since they have already treated us as dangerous elements, we will use the methods of dangerous elements."

Maria said, "We have a ready-made ship. We have already gathered all the people. As long as we enter the high seas, the leader will come to pick us up. With my strength, it is entirely possible for me to lead some people to escape, but the situation of the rest will become dangerous."

She looked at Mr. Z and said openly, "I want to seek help from the Aurora Society."

Mr. Z also said to her cheerfully, "We are willing to help. We only need one or two sealing objects that can be used to travel through the spirit world."

"If the spirit world doesn't have an impact on the child, you can just show up at the designated location in the southern continent."

"Thank you for your generosity."

Maria smiled a little: "I will always remember the help of the Aurora Society. Please thank the Dark Saint for me."

"There's no need to be polite between you and me. The Lord said that helping friends is helping ourselves." Mr. Z smiled, but then returned to his serious expression. "But this is equivalent to a Level 1 Sealed Artifact. Even if I want to use it, I need to apply for it. The Dark Saint needs to report to the higher-ups when he takes it away from Backlund. You must act quickly, and you also have to consider other cities. It just so happens that I don't have any other work this afternoon, so why don't you come with me to the factory and complete the procedures for withdrawing the Sealed Artifact today."

"Okay. Thank you for your hard work."

Maria also wanted the matter to end soon, so she nodded and agreed immediately. She turned around and gave Gavin a few instructions, then stood up and left the East District with Mr. Z and headed for the factory area outside the city.

It was already six o'clock when we arrived at the factory owned by the Aurora Club. It was already evening and the delicious aroma of mashed potatoes and beef wafted from the cafeteria.

The workers left the workshop one after another, chatting and laughing with each other as they headed to the cafeteria. Mr. Z and Maria did not stand out among them.

At this moment, Maria suddenly turned her head and looked at a strange man with brown hair and blue eyes who was also looking at her with a somewhat arrogant look not far away.

Mr. Z, who was a little slow to react, also turned his head quickly.

"It's a friend." He whispered, "a new messenger of God."

Maria relaxed her guard a little, and the stranger looked away. Mr. Z walked forward and whispered to the stranger:
"Why didn't you notify me before you came?"

"His Excellency the Saint said that I can report to him directly." Klein looked down at Mr. Z and spoke with disapproval.

Well, the Blessed One is really amazing. Mr. Z stabbed Klein's villain in his heart and asked again:

"What are you doing here?"

Mr. X raised his lips and smiled arrogantly:

"I'm lucky enough to have obtained a Sequence 4 potion formula. I want to see what good things I can get in exchange."

Mr. Z's eyes suddenly widened.

Klein: Let’s try to get some benefits.

Skip this: Leonard realizes that Hermann = Sherlock = Klein and prepares to dig his grave. Klein joins the "East Balam Veterans Club" and it is impossible for him to continue dumping inferior arms to the southern continent.
