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

Chapter 390 History Projection

The members of the Moss Trappist Order quickly settled in Firlon.

The damage rate of this small town is over 70%. The people expressed their interest in the strange behemoth in front of them and were willing to postpone their trip to Trier for a day or two. Anyway, the Extraordinary has been released now, and the people use mysterious magic to travel. It only takes a few minutes to get to Trier. I believe that the hidden sage who advocates knowledge and learning will not mind a slight delay on the road.

Firlon used to be one of the top five ports, but now it doesn't even have a pier for medium-sized ships.

So the Mystic Peeps built the Starlight Bridge, using materials and mysterious magic in a hurry, and under the guidance of craftsmen, they built a medium-sized port on site that could accommodate five ships docking at the same time.

The craftsman was so happy that his mouth was raised to the sky.

Then, the secret-peekers got off the boat one after another and landed at the dock happily.

Although Phillon had regressed from a developed medium-sized port city to a small town of only 200 people overnight, it had no problem accommodating this team.

Since you are here to study, you need a place, right? The shipyard at the dock is a temporary workshop, which is the best specification that the craftsmen and their partners can make, but the people of the Moss Ascetic Order shook their heads after taking a look, so they simply renovated the shipyard. Since you want to study, you have to be prepared to live there for a long time, right? There are many vacant lots and many broken walls in the city, but there are not many houses to live in. The secret peepers started to mutter again, and took the drawings drawn by the craftsmen on the spot to build a dormitory with a laboratory, reading area and workshop.

"Thank you for your hard work." Someone said to the craftsman who was forced to finish the design within an hour.

"It's not hard, not hard." The craftsman smiled happily.

There were only two demigods on this ship, and Cattleya was the hidden third one. In other words, on the surface, there were only two people who didn't need to eat or rest. Since there was a place to live, you also had to eat, right? So the secret-peekers began to patronize the catering business in the town.

The restaurant owner lost his family and the shop he had run for generations in the tsunami. But no matter what, life must go on, and when he saw the customers coming, the wrinkles on his face relaxed slightly. He took out the handwritten menu and trotted to the mill to buy bread, vegetables and pickled fish, as well as some unused rationed food, to prepare a fairly sumptuous dinner for the secret-peekers.

The secret-peekers found the food in Intis very new and the boss's cooking skills were quite good. They were usually busy digesting knowledge and eating casually, so they decided to make this place a fixed food supply before leaving, and paid generously with gold coins.

Although limited, the food needs of a dozen people are enough to inject a little life into this dying and fishless town.

Some members of the Ascetic Order were very interested in the fish in the harbor and took the initiative to try to make nets and fishing boats that could catch mutant fish. Some were interested in the food culture of Intis, and some wanted to decorate the dormitory according to the architectural style of Intis. Some were curious about how much the remaining spiritual power of the Lord of Storms would change the seaside, so they observed the weather and redraw the wind direction and ocean current trajectory... They were all busy, had their own things to do, had enough money, and actively participated in the lives of the people in the town.

The arrival of this team of secret peepers brought some life back to the lifeless town.

“I feel like we can exceed our targets.”

Working until late at night, you can still see people walking around the town, investigating the ruins of the city and measuring the spiritual power left. The craftsman wiped the sweat from his head and said with emotion as he watched the town come alive bit by bit.

The Secret Peeper tried to attach a glider to the tail to maintain balance, and tried to replace the tail sail, but the glider was not strong enough to serve as a durable ritual magic carrier, so he had no idea how to replace it. He casually said:
"Okay, maybe there's a chance for promotion."

"Promotion? Maybe it's possible." The craftsman's eyes lit up, standing on the balcony of the shipyard overlooking the city with lights. "It's a pity that the ascetics will not stay here for too long. After they leave, the dormitories they left behind need to be replanned. It's difficult to revive the fishing industry, and I don't know when the transportation industry can start. We need more people to develop the city. Is there a chance to accommodate refugees?"

The Secret Peer groaned for a moment and said, "There are indeed a lot of refugees, but the city is very empty now, so they can go anywhere."

"What about the refugees abroad? I heard there was a disaster in Lenburg as well."

"There's no way for foreign refugees to sneak in here." The Secret Peer sighed as he edited and revised the design. "Let's first fix the sky transport ship. We still need to modify its size. If this place recovers quickly, maybe we can attract more people to come and work here."

The craftsman couldn't help but glance sideways. Compared to a week ago, the muscles of this secret peeper were tighter, his behavior was more capable, and he was gradually beginning to shift from the stage of theoretical talk to the direction of pragmatism.

Not only will they not say shocking words like "Since people can't afford houses, why not just build the simplest cube-shaped dormitory?", they will also be able to think about the impact of industry development on the city.

The craftsman suddenly asked, "By the way, what is the name of your current Sequence 6 potion?"

The secret peeker cast a wary look.

"Now that our two paths belong to the same church, they must be interconnected. It will be easier to advance if the materials and formulas are complete."

“…That’s true.” The Secret Peeper had not yet fully adapted to his status as a member of the Church, so he nodded reluctantly. “The Sequence 6 of my path is called ‘Scroll Professor’. Sequence 5 is unknown, but judging by the performance of other seniors and professors, it seems to be related to the stars.”

"Recently, I have been busy carving mysterious symbols at the equipment shop, drawing ritual drawings, and teaching the residents of the town simple magic operations... I seem to feel that my progress in controlling potions is slowly improving."

The craftsman nodded: "I feel the same way."

"My Sequence 6 potion is called 'Mechanical Expert.'" He looked at the huge ship in the shipyard and said seriously, "I have a feeling that if I can complete this transport ship, my potion will be fully under control."

The Secret Peeper thought: "I've often had similar feelings before, as if doing it according to the name of the potion can increase the progress of control. You're right, maybe our chance of promotion lies in this town and this ship, so let's work harder."

"Do you really want to be promoted?"

"Of course." The Secret Peeper said seriously, "The purpose of the Moss Ascetic Order is to accommodate knowledge. We are all chasing knowledge. If we go crazy, it means we have not been able to digest the original knowledge. In other words, our learning ability is insufficient. Never stop learning, never miss the opportunity to pursue higher and more knowledge. This is our way of life."

The craftsman leaned against the railing of the shipyard balcony and asked curiously, "Just constantly pursuing knowledge? Isn't it tiring to keep doing this?"

"You've been working on the iron, are you tired?"

"This is not blacksmithing," the craftsman corrected. "This is serious work, inventing and improving for the benefit of the residents!"

"Yes, I used to live a life of repetitive reading, sleeping, and reading, like a Morse Ascetic. In our library, it is common to faint from hunger while reading. I heard that a very talented junior in the same industry aspired to become a demigod, but he starved to death at Sequence 7 because he was too thirsty for knowledge and neglected food and sleep." The Secret Peeper shook his head. "I don't actually hate this kind of life, but it's hard to say what the point is. Knowing so much, does that make me stronger? Those who write papers in Renburg are better fighters than us."

"Knowledge is born for technology," said the craftsman.

"As for now..."

The Secret Peeper thought for a while and said:

"I feel like I am somewhat useful now. Maybe I have studied so much just to make a little change in the world right now."

……

Backlund and the two who had been following Viscount Stratford for a long time finally found an opportunity to defeat and capture him. With the help of the recorded "mind-reading" ability, they successfully obtained the relevant information from Viscount Stratford.

At this point, Xio's problem has entered a more core area that is prone to resistance:
"What caused Mason Dill's death?"

After asking this question, Xio's emotions suddenly became extremely complicated. There was anticipation, uneasiness, excitement, and fear.

This was the question she had wanted to ask eight years ago. During these nearly three thousand days and nights, she had been searching for the answer all the time. However, she was afraid that the answer was not what she wanted. She was afraid that her father had indeed participated in the rebellion and was therefore executed without any honor.

Viscount Stratford did not answer Hugh's question immediately. He seemed to struggle for a moment before saying:
"He discovered the King's secret and tried to inform the three major churches but failed. He was executed on the spot."

Xio was stunned for several seconds before finally confirming that he had gotten the answer.

Although this answer frightened her, it also made her heart settle back to its original position. "Secret... His Majesty's secret..." She whispered to herself and asked in an urgent manner:

"What's the secret?"

Fors, who was beside her, was almost stunned. She didn't expect things to develop to this extent.

At this moment, Viscount Stratford's facial muscles were visibly distorted, and he managed to utter a few words with great difficulty:

"The secret is..."

Wait, could this secret be... As an old member of the Tarot Club, Fors immediately had a guess in his mind.

Suddenly, his body trembled violently, and his confused eyes suddenly regained their spirits.

Then, he disintegrated from the most minute structure and instantly collapsed into a ball of "fireworks".

The blood-colored "fireworks" shot straight into the sky and exploded with a loud bang, illuminating the night and entering the eyes of Fors and Xio.

……

Above the gray fog, Klein, who was holding the "Scepter of Poseidon", also saw the "fireworks" that dyed the sky red.

When Fors prayed to him before, he happened to be in this majestic palace observing the actions of Qonas Kilger. He took a picture of the paper man he had cut, mobilized the power of the mysterious space, and responded.

After being promoted to Sequence 3, his paper figurine has taken on the appearance of "Angel's Embrace", and no longer needs to use the anti-divination and high-level status of the "Blasphemy Card" as before.

During this process, he discovered that the person lying next to the "Magician" and Miss "Judgment" was actually Viscount Stratford.

——This was a target he focused on. Although he did not investigate personally, he knew that there was something wrong with the other party and that the witch Triss was targeting this person. Therefore, at a dance party, he memorized the corresponding appearance and characteristics.

Klein didn't know what the two Tarot Club members were trying to do, but since it involved Viscount Stratford, he certainly wouldn't ignore its importance. He directly observed the subsequent experiences of the Magician and Miss Judgment through the corresponding crimson stars.

——After gaining more authority here, Klein can use the corresponding crimson stars to directly investigate the situation in a certain area around the Tarot Club members without their prayers. This is similar to believers who have been specially marked. However, Klein is very restrained about this and has never tried it before.

This allowed him to overhear the conversation between Hugh and Viscount Stratford.

As someone who knows the inside story, he is well aware of the true meaning and weight of the question of "who to be loyal to".

Combined with the fact that the former palace guard Mason Dill discovered the king's secret and tried to inform the three major churches but failed, the answer is obvious:
George III!

The Magician had long heard that the World had sorted out clues related to the Backlund Great Smog, so he should have guessed it long ago. It was normal that Ms. Judgment, who arrived a little late, didn't know about it... Klein pondered. They were all still mid-sequences, and this information had no impact on their daily lives. It was normal that the Magician didn't mention it. And Hugh's father, Mason Dill, had passed away for many years, so it was even more normal that he didn't connect his father's death with the secret of George III's deification.

This so-called secret has almost been brought to the surface. George III has announced in the newspaper that he will become emperor, but the "laws" on these people seem to have not been lifted yet... This is the only thing that surprised him a little.

Seeing that the Magician and Miss Judgment were far away from the place where the abnormality occurred, their safety was basically guaranteed. Klein retracted his gaze and continued to observe the actions of Qiunas Kilger, the deputy director of MI9, through the prayer light.

After a while, after "circling" the territory and confirming whether anyone was following him, Qonas Kilger walked to a mountain wall and took out something.

"This seems to be a special kind of 'teleportation'... It's similar to a door, but it uses rituals and specific items to teleport to a certain location within a short distance..." Klein thought for a moment on Sefirah Castle, "Is there a mausoleum of George III nearby?"

The dark underground building where Ince Zangwill met his fate?
Klein was somewhat dazed.

For some reason, he couldn't contact Arrodes, as if the other party actively refused to communicate with him, so he had to use Sefirah Castle to do divination. The divination showed that Qunas was not only a demigod of the "Black Emperor" path, but also had at least one powerful seal.

"I can use the spiritual thread. My status is higher than his, so I have a greater chance of taking him down. But first I have to find him and get close to him... Even if I take down Qonas Kilger without alerting anyone, I still have to consider the dangers after entering... With the experience from last time, they won't be unprepared for the Faceless Man... Since George III has already cooperated with the Psychological Alchemy Society and the Witch Cult, there is a high possibility that there are angels in the underground ruins..." Klein frowned slightly. He couldn't find a reliable way to complete the investigation.

Even if Klein was well prepared, without the help of angel-level helpers, he would not have much chance of defeating the deputy director of MI9, who was a major general.

Fortunately, he was able to call in angel-level helpers.

Even without rituals or prayers, he could try to draw strength from history.

“Summoning images from the cracks in history can be people or objects. The more detailed and realistic the understanding of the corresponding history and objects is, the greater the probability of success and the longer it can be maintained.”

"At present, even the most common items that I know well enough and once belonged to me can only last for a quarter of an hour at most."

"In other words, if I want to summon the images of the great figures in the historical pores, it is best to establish a sufficiently friendly relationship with them and maintain it for a long time. Well, if I summon Mr. Azik's projection, the probability of success will definitely be higher than summoning the historical pore images of other angels..."

"This is not an extraordinary ability, this is clearly "Emotional Intelligence", "Relationships" and "Interpersonal Communication"!"

After sighing, Klein stretched out his hand and grabbed a handful of the void in front of him.

After five consecutive times, Klein's arm muscles suddenly tensed up, as if he had pulled something extremely heavy.

Then, he slowly retracted his right hand, and a figure followed closely behind, quickly appearing beside him.

The figure had bronze skin, a medium build, black hair and brown eyes, and a small black mole under his right ear. He was similar to the Azik in Klein's memory, but also different. The figure wore a dark black robe embroidered with gold thread, and wore gold snake-shaped and bird-shaped jewelry. After a brief moment of dullness and sluggishness, his eyes returned to normal, and he looked around with a very curious look, looking at Klein.

Klein couldn't help but take a few more glances at Azik's new clothes. Like a history student, he began to study the details of the jewelry.

"Good evening, Mr. Azik."

Azik's gaze also fell on him. After a long time of separation, the Archon of Death smiled and greeted him:
"haven't seen you for a long time."

"You have already made it this far, Klein."

This skips the scene where Hugh and Fors tracked Viscount Stratford, asked "I swear allegiance to His Majesty the King", obtained the Darkless Cross, and Sherman's death.

To be honest, I had guessed the sudden situation yesterday. Since this book discusses the colonization part, the original work will definitely be compared whenever it is mentioned, and in the end it is still this crappy book that will be criticized. I don’t care about this. Anyway, there must be a backstab plot, but I didn’t expect it to be this kind of backstab, and it appeared in the third chapter. I really can’t imagine how many similar situations there will be in the future.

Finally, I still urge everyone to read the book rationally. Group members who participated in the discussion and did not use extreme words had their comments deleted and were banned for fifty years. The management also called on everyone to actively report readers of this book. I don’t know how everyone can judge whether this person has read this book based on a comment or an opinion. The official power is really great (shakes head).

And at present, as soon as the new book of Fateful Ring was released, all posts that may cause controversy were deleted, and the same is true in the book circle. This shows that this is the official attitude, and there is no need for everyone to argue with them. Why not obey it when it is like this?

nmd, but no matter whether you are a reader of this book or not, you must apologize to the innocent readers implicated by you!
