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

Chapter 443: Overcoming the Fake Imperial Power

The carriage moved slowly on the road, and Audrey's eyes unconsciously turned to the window again.

In the past two days, Earl Hall seemed to have finally realized that his daughter had been staying at home for a long time, and made an exception to allow her to go out and continue to handle some of the foundation's affairs.

And in Audrey's view, this behavior was a hint to MI9.

But Audrey was also concerned about the foundation's situation, so of course she wouldn't refuse.

Her happiness at her father's tolerance was totally unpretended.

Many pedestrians stood on the roadside, staring at the horses pulling the carts, their eyes glowing green. The lucky ones who successfully received the food crossed the street stealthily and ran towards their homes.

Teams of policemen in black and white checkered uniforms patrolled the streets, with revolvers on their waists and batons in their hands, intimidating those who wanted to take risks.

"We don't dare go out on the street alone lately..." Anne, Audrey's personal maid, muttered softly.

Audrey nodded slightly but did not respond.

Although the upper class and military in Loen did not show any abnormality, and were even actively using the "Emperor's assassination" to attack other countries internationally, the situation of civilians and some middle-class people did not improve. It was true that His Holiness Pope Gad II was a noble person favored by God and an excellent religious leader, but He had obviously been away from the earth for too long and did not understand the real demands and needs of the people.

His political sensitivity obviously did not include governing the country, and the church, which had long held a large amount of property, land, and money, did not quite understand how to run it. However, they would not hand over the church's property to the secular nobles who were good at business, so they had to bundle relief supplies with "converting to my Lord" and "praying devoutly to the Lord" for sale, barely maintaining the church's position in the hearts of the people.

Therefore, the economy remained depressed and did not improve, even though His Holiness the Pope increased the ration of relief food.

After a while, the carriage arrived at Pestfield Street and stopped at the edge of the square in front of St. Samuel's Church.

The flocks of white pigeons there have disappeared, and the place is empty.

The building where the "Loen Charity Student Aid Fund" and the later established "Loen Poor Relief Fund" and "Loen Medical Charity Fund" were originally located collapsed in the air raid some time ago. In order to facilitate the work of everyone, Mr. Dawn Dantes rented a house in the undamaged area of ​​​​Peisfield Street. Otherwise, the staff of the foundation would have to move into the small rooms allocated by the church to work.

For the staff of these three foundations, it was a thrilling memory and many of them have become victims.

After getting off the carriage and passing through the gate, Audrey saw a girl with black hair, brown eyes and a thin face coming towards her.

Without waiting for the other party to speak, she took the initiative to say:
“Melissa, is there any food left to distribute?”

Melissa shook her head solemnly:

"Even the disabled soldiers we helped couldn't get enough food..."

Audrey's emerald eyes dimmed for a moment, without showing her helplessness or weakness. She nodded slightly and said:

"I'll find a way."

During this period, Audrey's life was not easy. Earl Hall felt very ashamed that he was visited by MI9, and Hibbert's schedule to Intis became unpredictable, which was not a good sign for Audrey.

Feysac withdrew his troops, Loen's territory expanded, and the international situation was in turmoil, but the world did not seem to be getting better.

Another thing that she was concerned about was the Southern Continent. Ever since Mr. Towfik knew that Letty Orr was actually from the Northern Continent, he refused to get along with Audrey and avoided her every time. Audrey knew that this was also his way of protecting her and barely maintaining the last bit of respect and cooperation between the two of them, but it still made Audrey feel a dull pain in her heart and she was speechless.

Since she was born, her identity as the daughter of a noble earl in the Northern Continent has only brought her envious looks and favor. She also knows that there must be jealousy and malice in this world because of one's birth, but she cannot understand the situation where people want to kill every person in the Northern Continent. But now she is once again being treated with hostility because she is from the Northern Continent. Audrey has no other choice but to work harder.

Audrey sighed, lifted her skirt and went upstairs to start her work this morning.

No matter how reluctant Tawfik was to get close to her, she still had to be "Letty Orr", the only psychologist in this hospital.

……

"From outside the cursed land..."

"Bringing the salvation promised by The Fool..."

In the dusk of the Eastern Continent, several members of the Moon City expedition team listened to Klein's words and were unable to come back to their senses for a long time.

In the current Moon City, the topic of "The Fool" and "The Creator" has become a daily conversation topic among the residents. The promises of the two gods and the rising of the sun in the God-forsaken Land have long been written into the new city chronicles, and even children have some understanding of them.

The beliefs in Moon City are relatively free. The residents are all blood relatives or comrades who share life and death. They value each other far more than empty beliefs. They will not break off relations or even fight each other because of conversion like the outside world. Like Silver City, people pray to the Creator and the "Fool". While they hope for the gods to save them, they also pray to "Abundance" to thank him for giving them food and water.

The people holding weapons looked at each other in bewilderment. The female team member with a huge tumor growing on her forehead, covering one eye like a piece of drooping skin, immediately asked:
"How are you going to prove your identity?"

Having said that, she already believed half of what Klein said. Because monsters don't have such high intelligence, they don't know about the "Fool", let alone use promises to deceive them. In addition, the lucky people who happened to meet the previous "Fool's Messenger" described the previous Messenger almost the same as the one they saw now - all of them were healthy limbs, regular facial features, no deformities, and were normal humans from outside the Forsaken Land of God. They all wore clothes made of materials that Moon City couldn't understand, and the style of the clothes was also unheard of.

Most importantly, they are all strong enough.

In this land, such a person deserves the title of "God's Messenger".

The female team member did not think about the way the "messenger of God" would prove himself. In her opinion, there was only one way: to prove it with God.

Whether it's praying to the Fool, having the High Priest confirm his identity, or some other method, it's the same.

As expected, Klein nodded calmly:
"Of course, I can prove it."

"But, in exchange, you need to tell me about the current situation of Moon City and what the exploration goal of your team is."

Asking about the city's current situation right off the bat would definitely arouse suspicion, so Klein randomly chose a question to express his sincerity.

Several members of the Moon City exploration team looked at each other. Facing this Beyonder who was far stronger than them, the team members did not speak, but simply communicated with each other using the city's secret codes and gestures. Then they all looked at Klein and nodded.

"it is good."

Klein, who looked like Gehrman Sparrow, took a step back and distanced himself. Klein always felt that Gehrman's serious face and personality were quite useful in some situations. The simplest thing was that he met people's fantasy of the powerful in the mysterious world - you just have to do things without saying anything. As long as you do it with enough confidence, others will help you think of the rest of the reasons, causes and excuses.

Klein first poured his spirituality into the cross in his hand. The golden linear medulla suddenly shone brightly. The golden light shone out from every crack in the cross, as if he had caught another small sun in his hand.

Klein took the cross, raised it a little higher, and pointed it at the group of ancient survivors.

Pure, bright, and warm light burst out, dispelling the surrounding darkness and illuminating the exploration team members in these lunar cities.

Their combat experience made them try to defend themselves reflexively, but their instinctive comfort caused them to stop their movements halfway through.

That kind of light and warmth can never be compared to a fire!

This reminded the exploration team of the creator they believed in, the god who radiated infinite light and brought infinite warmth. The male guard who believed in the ancient sun god had tears in his eyes and trembled, as if he was about to drop his weapon and kneel to the ground in the next second.

But in the end, his sense of responsibility prevailed and he didn't do it.

"My Lord is a deity from the same era as the 'Creator'."

As soon as Klein opened his mouth, he immediately drew a clear line between the “Fool” he was playing and the “Fool” who was now Amon.

This sentence can be understood from two perspectives. The first perspective is naturally that he and the ancient sun god both come from the old era, and Amon, the second son of the Creator, obviously will not get this direction; the second is that it symbolizes Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun and the God of the "incarnation of the sea of ​​chaos". They are all the will of the old days, ancient gods, and of course were born in the same era, and Amon still does not meet this direction.

What he took out now was an item belonging to the Sun God. Not only was it to prove the agreement between the two gods, but also because Medici guessed that in this land favored by the Chaos Sea, this item could reduce the probability of Amon looking over.

"He comes from before history, just like the Creator, from the ancient world before the First Age."

Klein once again emphasized that he had tied The Fool and the Creator together. The angel-level "audience" was here, and the influence of the mind quietly fell, changing the Moon City exploration team's perception of The Fool.

These cognitions will gradually spread and affect everyone in Moon City along with the "audience's" extraordinary ability "Mind Plague".

With a ready-made powerful helper, Klein wanted to use the power of Hermes to recreate the honorable name of "The Fool" for the people of Moon City.

—Be able to point to His honorable name!
Under the shining of the clear light, wisps of twisted and struggling illusory black air as if they had their own vitality rose from the people in Yuecheng and quickly dissipated.

"He once saved the people of Moon City in the God-forsaken Land to confirm the promise between Him and the 'Creator'."

They all heard Klein's words and had no intention of refuting them. After all, Klein was the messenger of the Fool and he could not possibly tell a lie. Furthermore, the omniscient and almighty Lord also acknowledged the agreement between them. The two ancient beings who were connected must have come from the same era. As for which era it was, the First Age or the Second Age, it was actually irrelevant to the people of Moon City.

Only those who are of the same era as the Creator are "fools", and only those who can heal the people of Moon City are "fools"...

This thought came to the minds of the people of Yuecheng.

Hermes appeared beside Klein at some point. When the people of Moon City thought that Klein was praying to The Fool, this "audience" quietly entered the scene and wove a new image of The Fool in everyone's minds.

"To be honest, I am still surprised when I think about you admitting that you are the Fool. I didn't expect His Highness the Red Angel to say that this is true." Hermes whispered in the mental link, with an obvious smile in his tone.

"You are very smart. In this way, it will be easy to distinguish ourselves from the Time Angels. We just need to prove that those who have undergone the ritual have not been 'cured'. But we are still in crisis and cannot take it lightly."

But even if Yuecheng realized the problem, Amon could solve it through fraud and memory theft... Hermes did not say such words that would undermine morale, but He believed that Klein must have noticed it.

Klein coughed lightly and nodded, concentrating on imitating the tone and wording of the Holy Scripture without answering Hermes' words.

The sun gradually set, dusk gathered towards the west, and the light of the sun in Klein's hand gradually became dim.

The members of the Moon City Exploration Team only felt their bodies become relaxed, and the depression in their souls disappeared.

After purifying the pollution and disease accumulated in the target's body, Klein stopped injecting spiritual energy.

The sun's rays gradually disappeared, and the cross returned to its ordinary appearance as a work of art. Klein saw reluctance in everyone's eyes.

……

Intis.

Edward, who was sitting on a bench on the street basking in the sun, suddenly opened his eyes and took out a small hardcover notebook from his pocket.

With a strange expression, He flipped through the pages of the notebook one by one, turning over some notes and illustrations from hundreds of years ago, and turned to the part more than a month ago when He was chatting with God as a "pen pal" on the edge of the Chaos Sea.

Just like the chat software of the old days, a line of words suddenly appeared on the side where the sun, which symbolizes "God", was located.

Edward rolled his eyes and muttered in his native language that he never wanted to have anything to do with the Pillar again in his next life. Then he looked at the message from God and showed an expression that was very much from the Old Era.

"Klein used the power of God as a disguise to fight against Amon?"

How come God seems to be so happy to see this? Do you, the pillars, like to watch this kind of self-struggle drama? Edward was about to say something, but stopped talking. He tried to organize his words, but had nothing to say. Finally, he wrote two words solemnly in pencil in his own column:

"sharp."

……

Then, Klein raised his historical projection, the “Staff of Life”.

Although Klein had sealed the ordinary and less dangerous log-colored cane and temporarily sent it to Bayam, handing it over to the local Danitz and Alger for safekeeping, anything that the "Ancient Scholar" had once owned would only accompany him in a different form.

Holding the "Staff of Life", Klein took a few steps forward and poked the leader of the Moon City Exploration Team with the tip of the staff.

The experience just now made him not dodge. The tumor on his face began to crack, ooze pus, fade, shrink, and disappear. In the end, not even a scar remained.

The leader knew his own changes from the looks of his team members. He raised his right hand hesitantly and slowly, and touched his face, from top to bottom, and from bottom to top, several times in a row.

Klein didn't stop or hesitate. He treated everyone one after another, allowing them to be reborn one by one.

During this process, Klein inevitably began to miss Sefirah Castle.

On Sefirah Castle, he only needed to wave the original "Staff of Life" in his hand to allow the healing power to reach the Sefirah Castle and treat these deformities in terms of spirit, soul, and body at the same time.

Fortunately, I used the cross to purify it just now... Klein was thankful. If it couldn't be cured now, it would be a disgrace to The Fool.

The people of Moon City looked at each other in disbelief. Having experienced a miracle, they could not help but shed tears.

The female member stroked her face over and over again, and the eye that had been squeezed and shrunk by the sarcoma for a long time grew back and became as bright as a normal eye. The strange feeling of one side being light and the other heavy finally disappeared, and the world in front of her was illuminated by the golden sun held in the hands of the "God's Messenger", and her vision had never been so clear and broad.

The male guard, whose waist and ribs were unusually slender, had to loosen his belt and even use one hand to hold up his trousers.

But he did not feel embarrassed. His eyes followed the movement of the cross in Klein's hand, and his face was full of joy.

All of this was exactly the same as what the team had reported when they had met another god's messenger before! They exchanged information with their eyes and subtle expressions, and were convinced that treatment was one of the ways to save the "Fool". This god had mercy on deformed humans like them.

What a pity, congenital defects cannot be cured... Mental illnesses can be cured, but some crazy tendencies cannot be cured... Klein retracted his right hand, causing the historical projection of the "Staff of Life" to dissipate into thin air.

He walked to his original position, turned around, looked at the people of Moon City and said:

"I came here only to fulfill the promise given by my Lord, to give you salvation and lead you out of here."

"I will go to your city and meet your high priest."

Even the high priest knew about him... The people of Moon City looked at each other and completely dispelled their doubts about the "messenger of God".

I just said that. After all, the high priest is only Sequence 4. The team here can’t inform him through prayer and verify the truth of my words... Klein was in a hurry, so he continued:

"You have already felt my sincerity."

"Then please tell me, where are your team and this base going to explore?"

The people of Yuecheng looked at each other, and the leader whispered:

"God's messenger, you should know about the existence of Silver City."

"We have learned the approximate location of the City of Silver through the great god 'The Fool'. We are trying to move towards it, meet up with the survivors there, and discuss a way to leave here."

After saying this, the leader was somewhat secretly pleased:
"Respected God's Envoy, how many people do you plan to take with you to... uh, 'the outside world' this time?"

As he spoke, he looked around, wondering if there was anyone else coming with the angel. Hermes, who was still hiding in "psychological invisibility", was right next to Klein, but they couldn't see him.

Klein paused for a moment and said firmly:
"I can't give you an exact number, but I will do my best to help you open the door to the outside world."

After receiving the promise, the leader nodded happily. “Thank you, respected God’s Messenger. Praise the Fool. Thank you, Fool!”

Klein nodded at him. The sky gradually darkened. Seeing that he was going to Moon City, the leader took the initiative to point out the direction and gave Klein a hide lantern. Klein politely declined the spare fat candle.

"Yes, Your Excellency."

When Klein was about to pass through the small camp and quickly head to Moon City, someone stopped him.

"Excuse me, do you know the divine messenger from before?" This member was very young and a little embarrassed. He nodded to Klein frequently. "He cured my mother. Otherwise, my mother would have entered the darkness alone... I hope you can express my gratitude to him on my behalf."

Klein realized that this young man, who looked a few years younger than him, was talking about the True Creator, and he immediately agreed:

"I will."

"Thank you, thank you." The young man said happily, and asked hesitantly, "Then, will that envoy of God come to our Moon City again? He has helped us a lot. My mother made some things and wanted to give them to him..."

Klein was silent for two seconds, then replied with a smile:

"He has other things to do. I will be in charge of Moon City and Silver City from now on. Please don't worry, I will pass on your gratitude and gifts to him."

"That's good."

The young man finally breathed a sigh of relief to be able to thank his benefactor. He felt that although this envoy of God had a stern face, he was a kind and warm person like the previous one, which also made him feel more favorable towards The Fool.

"I have another question..." After getting Klein's eye contact, he asked curiously, "Both of you are good people. You have helped us and protected us. The previous envoy also helped us hunt a lot of prey, so that our children would not starve to death... May I ask if you two are friends?"

"friend……"

Klein's eyes flickered, and then he couldn't help but smile.

"I think...he is more like my senior and my guide than a friend."

"It is precisely because I followed in his footsteps and wanted to fulfill his wish that I came here and met you."

The first day without rushing the deadline.
