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

Chapter 450 Identity

"You finally met Klein?"

Edward put down the chicken sandwich and newspaper in his hand and said in disbelief: "You actually still remember this?"

"Why do you say that?" His half was used to being accused and was proud of it. "I will indeed be attracted by other things, but I will not forget what I should do. By the way, I have conducted some archaeological excavations and research on the ancient city-state civilization that believed in the Phoenix in the God-Forsaken Land. Would it be convenient for me to send these books and archaeological records that I just wrote to the Demon of Knowledge?"

"..."

Considering that it was inconvenient for him and he did not want to go to the God-Forsaken Land, Edward chose to endure it: "Give me the data and information. Tell me, now that you have met Klein, what are you going to do next?"

"I'm chatting with him."

In my mind, the voice of the other half paused for a moment. Although they were now using spiritual thinking to transmit information, the other party still dutifully simulated the appearance of "having their thoughts interrupted". "Speaking of which, I have something for you to ask the Demon of Knowledge. I want to know from his perspective whether there were any changes to the seal that divided the Eurasian continent two nights ago?"

Edward was distracted when he saw two sneaky hunters approaching from the river in the distance. They chose a hidden spot in the shade, put down a bench and a bucket, and then sorted out their fishing gear and began to skillfully make a nest. It seemed that they were planning to waste a whole morning under the bridge. So when he heard this, he took a while to react before asking:

"Did Klein cause the seal to change?"

"It has opened a little bit, and from where I was, it looked like it was opening."

The half body was handling himself and Klein at the same time, with ease, as if he had long been accustomed to multi-threaded work: "But in the end, it is still not opened. It is safer to ask the Demon of Knowledge, but I guess "He" can't see anything over there. It seems that even a small secret can't cross the gap of power and directly order the seal."

"You seem to be talking nonsense."

"How do you know it's nonsense if I don't tell you?"

Edward took a deep breath, and once again chose to endure it. After all, it was really embarrassing to tell others about this matter when he was so angry at himself.

"Besides that, there's the matter of the mysterious attendant who can run and jump." Half-body was completely unaware of what he had just said, or rather, "He" simply didn't care about the small details of the communication. "I shouldn't have used such a weak container. It would fall apart after running a few steps. I also had to maintain the basic human form and could not use materials from extraordinary creatures to repair it. I couldn't catch up with the mysterious attendant at all, so I had to hide first and go to a place where "He" might appear in the future. As a result, I met Klein Moretti here."

"So you discovered Klein by accident."

Edward's mood no longer fluctuated at all.

"That's right. I didn't think he would be here, but considering that there are only a few high-sequences of the three mysterious paths in such a large God-Forsaken Land, I'm not surprised at all that the wolf would appear near Moon City."

"But what I find more interesting is that the general law of aggregation shows that lower sequences gather towards higher sequences, and Klein is only Sequence 3 right now. Even if he is promoted, he should not be qualified to attract the guy who is only one step away from being promoted to Sequence ."

"So, maybe... it was actually Amon who attracted Him here?"

"Amon...it's not surprising."

Edward thought for a moment, then lost his mind again. Seeing that the two sneaky hunters had already put down their baits and set up their fishing rods, he kindly helped check the fish movement in the river in front of him, and concluded that the river was now almost connected to a very deep underground lake, and the big fish in it were not interested in their small earthworm baits, so the two hunters were doomed to come up empty-handed.

"Amon has been in Sefirah Castle for half a month, but he doesn't seem to have done anything."

Edward had nothing to do anyway, so he took a bite of the chicken sandwich in his hand and said, "You are in Moon City now, have you been to Silver City?"

"Not yet, is there something wrong?"

"There is a very interesting curse in the City of Silver. You can go and look at the principle when you have time. My intuition tells me that it will be an interesting thing." Edward chewed his sandwich slowly and said vaguely, "What do you think the fate of these two cities is?"

"Isn't this a waste of time?"

The half body laughed and said, "My perspective will never exceed my own power. At the same time, when there is the most overwhelming power, all other possibilities will be swallowed up. Now Amon's clones have flocked into these two places. The future I can see is either becoming God's sheep or becoming His clone."

"But we are not His target anyway, so don't worry too much. Even if He wants to do something, He will definitely prioritize the God of Thunder and that Pales Zoroast. He will be caught one day, but not now, and not within this month." Half-body suddenly paused again, then said, "Klein is going to preach to Weird Mystery, I'll go and listen."

"...Oh." Edward responded casually.

Then, He looked ahead of Himself and His eyes met those of an old man who walked slowly to a bench across the street and sat down.

Edward didn't say anything, but he noticed that the thin-faced old man had a slight smile on his face and seemed to be in a good mood. In his hand was a hardcover children's picture book with a cute brass dragon drawn on the cover.

The brass dragon is not as ferocious as other dragons that often appear in pictures, sitting on treasures or a pile of brave warriors' corpses and breathing flames. Instead, it holds a book in one paw and a pen in the other, with a serious expression. There are also a pile of books and a pair of small glasses placed around it, as if it is an old professor, which makes people laugh.

The title of the book is written on the cover - "A Dragon's Story".

Perhaps it was not an illusion, Edward saw a dead calmness in the dragon's eyes which only had two black dots.

This made him want to comfort the dragon. It would be much better for the dragon to fall into the hands of the Demon of Knowledge than into the hands of the God of Thunder next door, right?

Some knowledgeable people like to give long lectures on how to do things when dealing with others, sometimes out of kindness, sometimes just to show off. The intellectuals in the extraordinary world are no exception. Edward saw that the smile on the face of the demon of knowledge seemed to say "come and ask me", so he politely nodded at the hardcover square picture book and asked:

"Where did you find this?"

The Demon of Knowledge had a mischievous smile on his thin face: "I picked it up from the beach."

"It's a long story, but not too long. A few months ago, a fisherman caught this book from his net. This kind of high-quality picture book can sell for a lot of money, so he dried the book and sent it to the market to sell. He sold it to someone for half a gold Louis."

"Half a Louis d'Or."

The value of a gold Louis was less than one gold pound. Edward couldn't help but laugh: "Level 0 seals with living properties are really cheap nowadays."

The Demon of Knowledge also smiled, and then he continued, "The person who bought the picture book is a local businessman with a good family background. He has a child in his teens. The child read the picture book and, under his guidance, understood the formula for the 'Reader' potion hidden in the picture book. He then used his own pocket money to collect the entire bottle of Sequence 9 potion and became a Beyonder."

"The town was later destroyed by a tsunami, but the child survived and eventually came to Trier." The Demon of Knowledge patted the cover of the book. "Originally, the church's team would not have been able to find Him. But because the child lost his family property and could no longer buy potions quickly and steadily, he even received news of the recruitment of the Loen Church and planned to flee to Loen to join the Church of the God of Thunder and Truth. He was shocked, and in order to avoid being smuggled into Loen last night, He reported his owner."

"When the young man was caught, he still thought he was the chosen one and that he could get the book back later."

The old-looking Demon of Knowledge blinked and said jokingly:

"Young people always have similar self-confidence, believing that those gifts are actually obtained through their own hard work. But having such self-confidence is a good thing, so I promised him that he would complete compulsory education first, then be admitted to a national university, and then try his best to be selected by a demigod to join the scientific research team with excellent grades. After that, as long as he studies hard, in fifty years at the longest and thirty years at the shortest, he will be able to apply to become a demigod."

"I don't know if you can digest a bottle of 'Devil' with your behavior."

Edward complained, and when he saw the expression of the brass cartoon dragon on the cover, he became even more disillusioned with the world: "Long story short, you already know about Amon's affairs. Are you still planning to find a way to get Bethel Abraham back, or start a new business?"

Talking about business, the smile on the corner of the Demon of Knowledge's mouth slowly subsided, and he said seriously:

"For me, Bethel Abraham is the best choice. He and I have no conflicts. I only have the favor of helping Him. But at the same time, it is also the most difficult to support Him. The Fallen Mother Goddess will not let go, not to mention that He has already told the mother about my plan."

"I don't want to help Amon. He doesn't seem to be able to repay a favor, but only bear grudges. I am very realistic."

Edward guessed the answer: "So your final choice is..."

“Bethel Abraham is still number one in my heart.”

The Demon of Knowledge said solemnly, "As for the others, Pales, Klein, Kotal, Zaratul... I will consider it."

Zaratul had long been thrown out of the alternative track, but for the sake of courtesy, the Demon of Knowledge still added the other party's name.

Edward nodded. He was already used to the Demon of Knowledge's special way of thinking, and asked curiously:
"Who is Cottard?"

"The 'God of Wishes' wandering in the God-forsaken Land." The Demon of Knowledge glanced at Him and stretched out his hand, pretending to ask for payment. "I heard you talking to yourself. Give me your archaeological data. In return, I will share some information about the 'God of Wishes' with you."

……

"Your Excellency, you came here to take us out?"

Outside Moon City, “He” was chatting with Klein, asking for some information that was not very important to him:
"Do you think the outside world is beautiful? What is the outside world like? Is it worth leaving the home where we have lived for thousands of years?"

As the sun gradually approached the center of the sky, before noon, a team of seven or eight people from Yuecheng approached the small room where the "God's Messenger" was yesterday. But when they cautiously opened the door, they found that no one was inside.

The team fell into a brief commotion, and soon they found the note left in the house. They reorganized the team according to the instructions on the note and began to move towards the distance, towards the direction of the gray-white fog outside Moon City.

Somewhere outside Moon City, Klein had already lit a bonfire not too far away and was making some food for himself.

Klein looked at Him and pondered this question. He felt that it was normal for a resident of Moon City to ask this question. This was also one of the questions he would soon face. He thought seriously for a few seconds and answered calmly and steadily:
"I can't guarantee you anything. I dare not say that the world outside is definitely better than the East Continent."

"There aren't so many monsters out there, but there are wars, hunger, and some unspeakable dangers lurking."

"But the East Continent cannot be cultivated, and humans cannot live normally and healthily on their own. If they don't leave here, they are doomed to slowly die out. Therefore, I think it is necessary to take you out."

"I see."

He looked around.

There was a slowly burning bonfire in front of him. German Sparrow was sitting on the other side, roasting mushrooms with a long iron-black skewer.

Around the campfire lay corpses of monsters one after another, with all kinds of strange things growing on these corpses. Some of them were white and plump, as if liquid would spurt out if poked. Some had a black base inlaid with bloody filaments and fat patterns. Some were covered with golden spots, and the top lid was the size of a palm... These mushrooms were things that the people of Moon City had already seen, and He did not feel the need to show surprise or shock.

He thought for a moment, and then asked, "What if one day the land of the East Continent returns to normal and can be used for planting? If we want to return here, will the respected Fool be willing?"

Come back? Return to God's embrace? Thinking of the disappointment and even despair of the Moon City High Priest when he learned that the Creator was dead, Klein pursed his lips. He restrained his inner struggle well and remained calm.

"I dare not make judgments on behalf of The Fool."

"But... I think the freedom to choose one's beliefs and where to live should be one of the most basic human rights."

“What if The Fool doesn’t want to?” He decided to tease the little Lord of the Trinity. “What if The Fool is angry about our actions and asks you, the Envoy of God, to stop us, or even use force, will you do that?”

Klein no longer wanted to talk to Him, and he found it difficult to answer this question.

If he were the Fool, he would simply shake his head, but now he is the Fool's Messenger, a devout believer, a man who comes to save you because of God's request. He really cannot and should not express too many of his own opinions.

"I'll pray for you," he finished stiffly.

Noticing Klein's unhappy mood, He simply stopped talking and fell silent with Klein, staring at the white mushrooms that were oozing oil above the flames.

After a while, a group of people from Moon City slowly approached from a distance. Klein took a look and his expression became a little distorted.

——There were only more than ten people who came, and half of them were wearing monocles.
