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

748
"No, no, no, you misunderstood. I definitely don't mean to go along with the teacher."

"Please rest assured, the teacher will definitely not join me in deceiving people for your tens of thousands of pounds of property. Nowadays, many factory owners, plantation owners and nobles rely on the malice in their hearts and the connection with the abyss to gain power. As long as He wants, He can have money at any time."

"How could he die? If I had known that it was the teacher who was hunting you, I wouldn't have given your Stand the ability to die in place of others."

“Because it’s useless.”

"Oh, oh, no need to pay extra. Since it's already been installed, it's a benefit for customers with large orders. Please believe that I still have contracts and business ethics. After all, I studied in Trier, the commercial capital two hundred years ago."

"Education...well, let's not talk about such sad things."

……

After a round of hard explanation, Klein finally reluctantly believed that it was not the demons and the prisoner teacher and student who had teamed up to make him homeless.

After all, what Richard said made sense. True gods and demons all had money. Klein had seen Edward Vaughan's Trier palace-style mansion, and the cultural relics and ornaments inside were probably enough to buy 160 Böklund Street.

But he began to suspect that this angel might have come here to take advantage of the situation after learning about the situation. After all, he had just seen with his own eyes that Richard Ernst mourned for Medici's second loss of his body for two seconds and then immediately set his sights on the Cathedral of Light!

"Don't show that look of distrust, it's hurtful."

Richard selectively ignored Klein's complicated look, and asked Medici with a warm smile, "I remember that His Majesty the Red Angel ordered three dolls from me last year that could be possessed. It seems that there is one left in the warehouse that you haven't used. Now that your body is gone, do you need me to upgrade your spare body? If you have flesh and blood, you can get more professional services, and it won't be too expensive."

Klein was very uncomfortable with the other party's "modern" vocabulary after hearing it repeatedly. But when he thought that the other party's teacher was a remnant of the old days, he got used to it after a while, and even felt a little strangely familiar with it.

Klein thought Medici would roll his eyes, but he didn't.

He tapped the armrest of the sofa with his fingers, pondered for a few seconds, and said smoothly: "Okay, it is indeed necessary. Didn't the Bound God of your Rose School of Thought have his mental illness cured? Please, please give me something good. I will have someone deduct the money from the church's expenses later."

"no problem!"

Richard's smile became even more amiable. He straightened up "Dwayne Dantes" who was beginning to fall to one side, asked him to pick up a cigar, pretended to be chatting with a guest, then turned around and walked out, admonishing:
"You two can chat casually, I'll be leaving for a while."

"The servant is standing by outside. Feel free to let me know if you want some tea."

He walked out of the house with ease. Klein was silent for a few seconds as he looked at his back. He felt more and more that this home did not belong to him.

As soon as He left Medici, He spoke:

"Did you see? These two paths are not good people. You should become an angel as soon as possible, so that our church can still have some deterrent power."

Medici tempted Klein to quickly advance to Sequence 2 in the mind link.

Klein did not refute the word "our church". He answered in the mind link: "I think I need to stay in Sequence 3 for a while longer to consolidate my spirituality and become familiar with Beyonder abilities."

"What's so stable? If you can achieve immortality, you'll be successful."

Born as mythical creatures, they don't understand humans' caution, but since Klein has said so, Medici won't force him to return to Intis immediately to get his Beyonder characteristics for promotion: "Beckland is the safest place right now. Where do you plan to stay and where do you plan to be promoted? By the way, 'Lost History Returns to the Current Era', your promotion ceremony... I remember that the Lord wanted you to bring the people from the Eastern Continent out, right?"

Klein nodded slightly:
"Yes."

"I'm thinking about this right now. Aurora has a road from the outside world to the East Continent. If I can successfully bring the survivors out, my mission and ritual will be completed, and I will have the opportunity to advance to Sequence 2... Where should I find my potion?"

The Secret Order was washed once by the out-of-control Zaratul, and the high-sequences might have been directly aggregated at that time. The angels were most likely unable to escape, which means that Zaratul might have more than one miracle worker. But "He" is still in the resurrection state, plus there is still a chance of resurrection and a spiritual imprint. Klein is not so picky that he would even eat this. Obviously, this Sequence 2 is not meant for him.

He thought he might have to put in some effort, but he didn't expect Medici to give him a huge surprise.

"Well, that's not a problem."

As soon as the Red Angel opened his mouth, Klein felt the warmth of home:

"According to your habits, you would rather find materials to prepare potions than directly consume Beyonder properties. Then Zaratul will definitely not consider it. Let's try to find some more normal materials, seals or something."

"He is not completely dead yet, and can be resurrected. His spirit will surely give you a drink."

“Similarly, you’d better not try to use Antigonus’ Beyonder Characteristics. Not to mention that He is still sleeping on the top of Mount Honachis, even if you can convince the current Goddess of Night to allow Him to make an exception and take away one Beyonder Characteristics from Antigonus, you must not use it. The power and madness of the spirit inside is far beyond your imagination. You will go crazy if you use it.”

Medici intentionally said these words to him. Klein listened carefully and played the role of a scholar. He carefully recorded and analyzed these ancient anecdotes, trying to digest some more magic potions before entering the East Continent.

The Red Angel's words confirmed that the ancestor of the Antigonus family was indeed the one and only Angel King who had been sleeping for a thousand years in the small town on the top of the mountain. He slept there, so that the fortune tellers of later generations were constantly attracted to enter the secret place in various ways. A fortune teller holding the "Fool" card was also gathered there, and then died, and the Blasphemy Card fell at his feet.

"The current goddess of the night..."

Klein thought for a while and asked Medici a question with an archaeological mindset:
"I have seen the mythical creatures of the 'Unsleeping' path. Their bodies grow black hair and limbs like canines. I have also seen sculptures of goddesses with human bodies and four wolf claw arms in the towns of the hidden land."

Medici said casually:

"Anyway, the place you saw is the 'Kingdom of Night', and the goddess on the statue is Antigonus' sister, the Mother of Heaven."

"That's not your goddess, oh, now she is."

Now? Klein was curious: "Then who is the 'original goddess of night'?"

"The original Goddess of Night is the Goddess of Night, but something happened this year, and the God-descended vessel, which was like a stray dog, turned over and became the master." Medici's tone did not change. He did not show any undue respect for the other party because the other party was a god. Klein's mind emerged with the image of this person holding a cigarette in one hand and speaking frivolously and disapprovingly. "The current Goddess of Night, I guess you are more familiar with another name, Mother of Heaven... Oh, you are not familiar with it either? That is the God-descended vessel of the Church of Night, the Hidden Angel '0-17'."

Klein discovered that his "Ancient Scholar" potion was not activated. He was confused, but he vaguely understood something.

"You will have the opportunity to know these things in the future. After all, you still have to go to the East Continent. Secrets and history are buried there."

Medici did not dwell too much on the topic of the true or false goddess of night. Considering Klein's path and Antigonus, He selectively introduced some lost history of the Fourth Epoch:
"The Kingdom of Night believes in this pair of siblings. They are very interesting. They let the living live at the foot of the mountain, and after death they become puppets and live on the top of the mountain. Antigonus built a city of puppets on the top of the mountain. I vaguely remember that this is related to a certain promotion ceremony of the High Sequence."

Is it related to a certain promotion ceremony for high-sequence fortune tellers?
A secret doll town... Antigonus was already Sequence One when he fell asleep, so this secret doll town was either a Sequence One or a factor in becoming The Fool... Klein quickly wrote down this information. Everything Medici said increased the digestion progress of his ancient scholar potion, and he could also gain information about his current life from it. He felt the warmth of home more and more.

After thinking for a moment, Medici touched his chin with Klein's body. He recalled the information about the "Level 0 Sealed Artifacts" that he had exchanged with other churches after taking over the church, and said thoughtfully:

"In addition to Zaratul and Antigonus, the third 'Miracle Worker' extraordinary characteristic that we can get is combined with a characteristic of mysterious origin to become the Sealed Artifact '0-05'. This thing is also called the 'Wishing Magic Lamp'. It has never been obtained by any church. It was discovered in Balam not long ago and collected by the local warlord as one of the court relics. It has now been transported to Loen... A true god once tried to destroy this item, separate the characteristics, and reunite them, but failed."

"How about it, isn't it incredible?"

Klein was indeed shocked: "A true God cannot destroy a Level 0 Sealed Object? Then could it be..." Is it a special item created by the dual paths or even above the true God?
"Stop! Don't think about it anymore. Your mind is too sharp. You are thinking about things that you shouldn't worry about at your level. As soon as I remove the mind link and stop sharing my status with you, you will die right here."

Medici chuckled twice, and it was unclear whether it was a joke or a compliment. Anyway, he quickly returned to the topic.

"At the same time, what's more interesting is that everyone who has come into contact with this 'Wishing Magic Lamp' seems to have died. Even George III, who possessed this item, has been trapped in the mausoleum and cannot be resurrected because the ritual failed for various reasons."

"Besides that... the fourth and fifth copies of the 'Miracle Master' Beyonder Characteristics exist in the form of '0'-level seals in the former 'Eternal Blazing Sun' Church and the current 'God of Thunder and Truth' Church, codenamed '0-13'. It still belonged to us during the Third Epoch. You will know the name as soon as you hear it - it is called 'The Last Feast'."

"This thing is in the warehouse. I've checked it. How should I put it? From the perspective of mysticism, it contains a lot of bad, negative and corrupt things. It is also too closely related to the Lord, and the Lord is now... You know what I mean? You can use it, but it's better not to."

Klein nodded.

"Besides that, the '0-32' over there in the octopus head is a product of the 'Four Emperors War' and is called 'The Never-Ending Theater.'" Octopus head. Klein silently held back the thought of complaining.

"The sixth 'Miracle Master' extraordinary characteristic may be in the God-Forsaken Land. I remember that 'Dark Wolf' Kotar was quite active in the Third Epoch. At that time, the Lord was very powerful. He took the initiative to surrender and called his position neutral. Occasionally, he also fulfilled the wishes of some city-states he passed by, and the Lord turned a blind eye. Kotar completely disappeared after the Cataclysm. However, according to the report of the Holy Word, there are many secret puppet cities in the darkness of the Eastern Continent... Hehe."

Medici smiled meaningfully.

Klein heard the complexity and dissatisfaction in Medici's tone, but at the same time he noticed another thing.

——This "miracle worker" Demon Wolf Kotar is also creating a secret doll city!
With his keen sense, Klein vaguely realized that since the other party was a Sequence 2, it meant that the Secret Doll City was most likely the ritual for Sequence to advance to Sequence , and it was the main part of the ritual.

As for the detailed requirements, you can look for them later.

Klein's heart beat fast after finding the important clue to the next sequence's promotion ceremony so quickly. He couldn't help but start fantasizing about the ritual of "The Fool".

He listened attentively to what Medici said, and after thinking carefully for a moment, he said:
"You mean that when the quota of 'Standards of Mysteries' is full, there can only be three 'Standards of Mysteries' and six 'Miracle Masters'. However, right now, the only 'Standards of Mysteries' at Sequence 1 are Zaratul and the ancestors of the Antigonus family. It seems that the quota is not full."

Medici smiled and said:

"Indeed, there should be three 'Secret Servers'."

"But in the Second Epoch, when the earliest 'Fortune Teller' path true god, the ancient god Wolf Flegra, was still alive, the third 'Secret Servant' extraordinary characteristic disappeared. No one knew its whereabouts, and its corresponding 'Miracle Master' extraordinary characteristic was also missing. Perhaps it had combined with it, and was smart enough to find a sufficiently concealed way to hide itself."

"So that's it..."

Klein was about to say something when he suddenly heard footsteps coming from behind the living room. It seemed that Richard Ernst, who had just finished dealing with something, strode over again and asked them with a smile:
"Are you done talking?"

Klein didn't say anything, so Richard said to Medici, "After we finish talking, you may need to go to the southern continent with me. I have talked to God, and God intends to make specific adjustments based on your spirituality - to put it simply, it is customized according to your spirituality, the most suitable one."

"We're still going to the Southern Continent?"

Isn't this sending it straight into the mouth of a demon? Klein and Medici's expressions twisted together.

"...It doesn't matter if you spend a little more money. Why don't you Bound Gods come to Intis by yourselves?" Medici's tone and expression were complicated. The thought of not wanting to meet Edward Vaughn again burst out at this moment, and his mood was highly consistent with Klein's.

"This - I don't think it's possible. We both have mental illnesses, and you know how stable our mental states are. I'm afraid the gods won't be able to control themselves when they arrive in the Northern Continent." Richard shook his head regretfully, "Maybe you really have to go with me. I don't think you need to worry too much. I won't..."

"……Hold on."

Richard paused suddenly, reached into his pocket and took out a small round mirror:

"Someone asked me to take a prayer."

Klein almost couldn’t hold it back again.

The circular mirror lit up like a mobile phone screen, and a human figure gradually appeared, just like an extraordinary video call.

But after seeing the face of the person on the other end of the line, Klein forced himself to keep his facial expression.

……

Backlund, Queens, in Earl Hall's luxurious villa,

After two days of chaos and a full week of enhanced protection and house arrest, Audrey's life finally returned to some peace, which made her feel even more complicated and helpless about the assassination of George III.

"They're here again."

Audrey, dressed in a pure black dress, walked out of her room silently, stood behind the railing on the second floor, and looked down quietly.

Because it happened too suddenly and in such a shocking way, although she had received some reminders from the "world" Gehrman Sparrow, she still felt that it was not real enough and was particularly unreal.

She seemed to be out of touch with reality and watching a dramatic performance:
People from MI9 frequently visited his home during the past half month, symbolically asking about Earl Hall's transfer of large deposits, some collections and real estate to the National Bank of Intis.

My mother and I were not qualified to get involved in such matters, because they never asked about the company and the industry. My father, Earl Hall, and my brother, Lord Hibbert, were standing below and arguing with MI9, removing various receipts and contracts with official seals to prove that this was indeed just a business cooperation, and that MI9 was infringing on personal rights and even slandering a well-known earl.

Audrey knew that this was just MI9 exerting pressure, and she believed that her father and brother, and even the people in MI9 themselves, knew it.

But this meaningless behavior continued for half a month.

"It seems that Hibbert will not be able to go to Intis smoothly."

"The eldest son of the Earl, a dignified lord, cannot sneak across the border. He cannot stand being smuggled, but he also cannot pass through customs."

"Under such circumstances, if my father still wants to bet on both sides for the Hall family as before and keep the foundation, then the last resort may be for me to take part of the family property to Intis under the pretext of engagement..."

She is very smart, or the daughters of noble families should have such a keen sense. The family raises you to adulthood without worrying about food and clothing, and it is impossible for them to not charge any compensation. Audrey knows that she is almost 19 years old, which is why she is always frowning recently.

Audrey watched for a while and then returned to her room. She could not participate in such things, and she had no right to participate.

She closed the door and breathed a sigh of relief.

The bigger blow that followed was the sudden disappearance of Mr. Fool. The words "Don't pray, don't respond" weighed on Audrey's heart like a huge rock, making her feel heavy and breathless. George III, who was almost a god, was stopped and suppressed. What did Mr. Fool, who obviously had not yet recovered his god-level power, pay? Audrey didn't dare to think about it.

But there are other things to do.

She just glanced at Susie, and the big golden retriever immediately walked out of the room, closed the door with her legs, and squatted outside.

Thanks to her part-time activities in the southern continent, talking to patients also allows her to temporarily escape from her family and political struggles.

Otherwise, after being confined at home for half a month and forced to think about political issues every day, Audrey would have wanted to go out for some fresh air. It is impossible for her to stay at home as considerately and obediently as she is now, not even going to her own garden.

Audrey sat down familiarly, assumed a prayer posture, and whispered in ancient Hermetic language:

"Don't extinguish the burning fire..."

After she finished reading Richard's Hermetic name, she reached out and wiped the mirror. A luxurious mansion in the style of the Northern Continent appeared in the ripples.

Audrey was about to say hello to Richard, when suddenly her eyes turned to the back and noticed a familiar figure on the sofa.

Although the other person's clothes were different from the past and his temperament was very different from usual, Audrey clearly saw Mr. "Richard Ernst" sitting on one side of the sofa and her acquaintance "The World" German Sparrow sitting on the other side!
A little further away sat a "Dwayne Dantes" with a dull look in his eyes and a dull expression, not much like a living being. He sat motionless on a single sofa, which was a bit scary.

Audrey's eyes moved back and forth between the two of them, and suddenly she had a sudden realization -

"Is this the handover scene for the identity of 'Dwayne Dantès'?"

"I was wondering why Mr. Dawn seemed so dazed these past few days. It turns out he's not a human, but a puppet..."

Klein: Okay.
