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

Chapter 474 History

750
"The suicide and rebirth planned by the Sun God are of great significance. There is no reason why a god who dares not even reveal his true identity can sneak into the Redemption Rose so easily. The Secret Daughter may know His identity. Then, since the Sun God has allowed it, He should also know it."

"Indeed, their souls all come from the era before the First Era."

"That old time you spoke of is very interesting."

The purple eyes of the Demon of Knowledge were full of curiosity: "I missed that era. Obtaining information is one thing, but if possible, I really want to obtain some souls from Sefirah Castle and thoroughly understand the world they once lived in."

“I don’t think Klein would be happy about this.”

The Demon of Knowledge thought for a moment and said, "I can exchange the knowledge he needs for a few souls. You said there are hundreds of souls up there. Will he keep all of these souls in Sefirah Castle forever? There are already enough candidates for the Lord of Mysteries. Is there any point in him keeping them?"

Edward held his chin with one hand: "I don't know what humans think, let's continue discussing this 'Mother Earth'."

"Too."

The Demon of Knowledge began to peel the melon seeds skillfully, and no longer stuffed a handful into his mouth:
"I think this is useful information, but it is not appropriate to reveal it to the God of War right now. Just as you said, the relationship between them is maintained by interests and positions. The God of War probably doesn't have much affection for his mother, so it won't have any explosive effect."

"Could that 'Mother Earth Goddess' really be Lilith?"

Edward dug into his pocket and pulled out a fist-sized red moon. This sealed uniqueness was like a bedside lamp from the old days, with the craters and landforms on it exactly the same as the moon in the sky:
"The Moon and the Earth are adjacent to each other, and this object belonged to the deceased vampire ancestor, Lilith."

"This thing was originally in the hands of the Goddess of Night, so one of her names was related to the Red Moon. After I stole it, Mother Sky removed this sentence and also changed the prayer gesture."

"Now there are four true gods of both paths. The 'Mother Earth Goddess' must also be coveting this uniqueness and wants to take that step, but He has not contacted me. Let's think about it. Under the premise that the Goddess of Night has helped Him hide His identity, if this thing is still in the hands of the original Goddess of Night, how will this 'Mother Earth Goddess' - what will she have to pay to get the 'Moon'?"

They looked at each other and got the answer at the same time.

"Mars."

"If I'm not mistaken, this Earth Mother Goddess will find a way to kill the God of War and then use him to exchange for the 'Moon'."

"Hmm..." Edward thought for a moment, "Actually, there's no need to do this. If the God of War has a big advantage, the Mother Goddess of Earth will not help Dark Night, but will follow the God of War to destroy Rune and still get the 'Moon'. Their cooperation doesn't seem to be very stable. Is the relationship between Him and Dark Night so good that He is willing to help Him kill the God of War, and both of them will become multi-path true gods?"

The demon dug carefully in his memory for a while and came to the answer that yes, he himself had done so before. When he was traveling, he talked with a god about helping each other to obtain some extraordinary characteristics. At that time, in order to maximize the benefits, they really helped each other seriously. Then, when they confirmed that the cooperation was over and the other party's path symbol was slightly similar to their own, they immediately took action against each other.

What’s even more interesting is that during the fight, they tore off and merged some of each other’s extraordinary characteristics, and both had rejection reactions where their balance was broken, so they returned each other’s extraordinary characteristics on the spot and parted ways as if nothing had happened.

If the Mother Goddess of Earth and the God of War were to oppose Dark Night together, the Lord of Storms would certainly take action. Two against two would be troublesome indeed, and Dark Night would not want to see the battle line prolonged and its own losses increased... Well, if the Mother Goddess of Earth decided to play some dirty tricks and do some small moves behind the back of the God of War, causing him to die suddenly during the melee among the gods, it would indeed be able to end the battle as soon as possible and reduce the loss of the anchor and the seal.

Edward smacked his hands, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this plan was really interesting, with absolutely no disadvantages and only benefits. As long as the Mother Earth was a smart person, she would know what to choose, and the Mother Earth who could participate in this plan was definitely a smart person.

Now that the God of War is dead, there will be no one to compete with Night for the artificial God of Death. As long as Adam stops influencing the "Key" Azik Eggers, He will soon go to the artificial God of Death. The Goddess of Night will directly become the True God of the Three Paths, aiming her sword at the "Eternal Darkness".

What a great plan... Edward praised the plan of the Goddess of Night in his heart for a while. Even though this plan had been ruined by Her now, it was still worthy of praise and should not be underestimated.

Oh, the only drawback is that this plan took too long to plan, from the end of the Third Age to now, it actually took nearly two Ages.

This is only applicable to situations like Earth where "the gods stay within each other's sight for a long time and restrain each other". In the starry sky, no one will spend so much time planning adjacent routes. It is normal to meet by chance and then fight each other on the spot.

Edward suddenly realized something.

"It would be impossible for the Goddess of Night to do it perfectly alone."

"Omibella was just an angel. It was not difficult for Him who was already the goddess of night to kill an angel silently."

"...No, you don't understand me."

The Demon of Knowledge narrowed his eyes. "Oh, you mean... Night killed Him, and the Sun also knew His identity... Unless He looks exactly like Omybella, and has the same mystical symbols and connections, how could He deceive His own son? You mean, He is really... Not only does He look, but even His fate is 'exactly the same as Omybella'?"

If a person simply kills the original owner and assumes the other person's identity and operates carefully without being discovered for thousands of years, he should not be underestimated.

But - if He is "the original owner", then it would be terrifying!
"Mother Earth and Omybella are not the same person. If I were to tell fortunes, I would definitely see that all possibilities for Omybella have ended because she is dead, and the dead have no future." Edward looked into the eyes of the Demon of Knowledge and said seriously, "But Mother Earth still has a future, and her future is related to the God of War. Fate shows that they are still related. She is Omybella!"

"It's fate that has been tampered with. No, it's been replaced!"

The Demon of Knowledge thought of the answer almost instantly. He has always been hostile to the Pillars and focused on collecting information about their paths.

"Fate Trojan Horse!"

"It's not the 'Angel of Time', but Him! Only He has the ability to completely cover up and replace the fate of others, and even until the other party becomes a true god, the secret is still not revealed. The Sun God is involved in this matter, so it is perfect!"

"Lilith! This Earth Mother Goddess, I am 90% sure that she is Lilith. She is said to have fallen a long time ago, but the blood race has never stopped offering sacrifices to her, and they have always received responses over the past hundreds of years. If she is alive, she can only be the Earth Mother Goddess."

"But - this matter can only quickly give birth to a three-path true god, but the Sun God himself doesn't seem to benefit from it at all?"

Facing the doubts of the Demon of Knowledge, Edward couldn't help but think about what the Sun God gained from this thousand-year plan - it seemed that there was really nothing, reducing the loss of anchors, but these anchors didn't belong to him in the first place. Supporting a reserve of "Eternal Darkness"? But he himself is the future God, the current Creator, and he can definitely cultivate more pious Old Gods.

"……I have no idea."

Edward pondered for a while and said honestly, "Maybe it was to prepare for the end of the world... But He probably hadn't started to redeem Rose at that time. He was enough on his own. There was no reason for Him to support someone. He didn't seem like a kind-hearted person who would give the best to his fellow villagers wholeheartedly."

The classics of the Aurora Society clearly record that era: except for the sun, all other gods are evil and are rejected.

“If I understand, they probably had a plan to kill the God of War and end the doomsday early. It’s just that because He died, it was postponed to the Fifth Age.” Thinking of this, Adam, who had known about this plan for a long time, could also use it to promote the "trend of the times", complete his own deification ceremony, and take a step further on the road to reclaiming power.

The Demon of Knowledge pondered for a moment and accepted the answer.

"This is the only possibility."

751
In December 1350, the New Year in Intis was much quieter than in the past.

In a dark room of the capital's Cathedral of Light, a few candles flickered with yellowish flames, illuminating the altars, chairs and round tables placed around them.

At the edge of the light, in an extremely dark place, a human figure seemed to appear and disappear, sometimes shaking, sometimes stretching, a thin layer, without thickness, like a shadow that came to life.

Suddenly, the figure spoke in a low voice:

"You arrived earlier than I thought."

Next to the candle, where the fire was brightest, a figure was quickly outlined.

This is a man, wearing a rather mysterious black robe, with slightly curly brown hair, each strand of hair is hard, and deep eyes that seem to hide countless things.

He is none other than the "Secret Saint" Butis, one of the six saints of the Aurora Society.

——There are a total of seven nominal saints in the Church of the Creator. Although Klein has become a saint, he came and went in a hurry and left as soon as he was promoted. He did not communicate with other senior officials and did not have a detailed file. He existed as a secret figure for the time being.

Butis smiled and said:
“For me, distance is not an issue.”

He then pulled a chair and sat down, saying to the long and narrow shadow:
"Have you investigated everything? Have you found anything unusual? You asked me to come back just to pick someone up. What a grand ceremony."

The shadow that almost merged into the darkness replied in a low voice:
"no problem."

"Really?" Butis instinctively doubted the definite answer, "Xesma, could this be a trap?"

The "Dark Saint" Kesma shook his head slowly. He looked very young, with outstanding facial features, but his face seemed to be covered by a layer of dark curtain:

"She was a noble lady who joined the Psychological Alchemy Society by chance. In just one year, she showed extraordinary talent in her profession. Now that the Psychological Alchemy Society has become one of the church's affiliated institutions, we certainly shouldn't let such a genius go."

Butis seemed to be thinking: "So you want to bring her to Trier for training? Well, she is a lady. How talented is she? You were so secretive that you didn't tell me any information in advance."

The "Dark Saint" Kosma did not echo Butis' words, but said to himself:

"She was originally just an ordinary noble girl, but she was able to become a Sequence 5 in less than two years. She learned the art of acting almost on her own. Those who introduced her to the guild didn't know this! Now she has almost finished digesting the Sequence 5 potion. She is about to come to Intis on the pretext of getting engaged. The Psychological Alchemy Society is discussing how to cultivate her trust in the organization and how to assess her."

"Becoming Sequence 5 in less than two years?"

Butis, who considered himself to be an excellent "Secret Saint", nodded slightly and asked:
"Indeed, maybe we will be colleagues in the future, so it's worth my making a special trip to pick us up."

He could see that this was also a social opportunity provided by Kosma, allowing him to connect with this talented girl in advance. After all, such a girl could not fail to become a demigod, and even achieve greater success, unless she indulged in pleasure after coming to Intis and forgot about promotion - but it was difficult for the "audience" to make such a huge mistake.

Darkness floated in the shadows, and he answered slowly, "The situation in Backlund is getting more and more tense. The Nighthawks, the Punishers, and the teams are busy cleaning up all day long, and no one knows what they are busy with. The head of our Backlund branch is on a pilgrimage, so it would be most convenient to leave this matter to you."

"I have already escaped from Backlund once. If I am the one handling this matter, it will be fine if there are no accidents. But if there is an accident, I am not a 'mystic master' and may not be able to escape in time."

Butis laughed and said:

"I like to be with smart people. My teacher, my junior fellow students, and those old guys are not smart enough."

As he spoke, the "Secret Saint" took out a crystal ball from the hidden pocket of his black robe.

The crystal ball was neither clear nor transparent, as if it was filled with deep darkness.

As Butis stroked his hands and moved his lips, bright rays of light began to appear in this strange crystal ball.

They are like star sand, slowly rotating, forming a complex picture.

"I can accept it..." Butis glanced at the crystal ball in his right hand and nodded slightly.

He immediately looked at the "ghost":
"Tell me more specific information."

Xesma threw a prepared note directly into his hand. Butis opened his right hand, grabbed it lightly, and then closed his five fingers.

The area where he was suddenly distorted and disappeared.

The candles, fire, round table and chairs that were originally there also disappeared, leaving only the floor tiles and ceiling.

Only the shadow remained there, and after a moment, it also left silently, and the light in the room seemed to become brighter.

……

Silver City, at the top of the round tower, in the chief's room.

Colin Iliad turned his gaze to Lovia:
"Are you ready?"

Luo Weiya, who had silver-gray curly hair and a pair of light gray eyes, nodded. She no longer wore the black robe with purple patterns as usual, but a dark armor. Her calm expression was accompanied by slightly trembling fingers. She moved her head slightly and said:
"No problem."

Colin Iliad, who had gray hair and old scars on his face, immediately shifted his gaze and looked at Gehrman Sparrow:
"God's messenger, are you ready?"

Klein repeatedly recalled the many sealed objects he had seen in the City of Silver, thinking over and over again about their power and negative effects, and said in a low voice:

"I hope to get one or two suitable secret dolls."

As he spoke, he picked up a dark wooden box that was placed on the table, put it in his arms, and put it away carefully.

Colin, the "demon hunter" who had become the "Silver Knight", cast his eyes on the other people in the room, and then looked away. Medici and Ouroboros stood there. Medici seemed to want to participate, or he thought he was here to help, but Ouroboros was vaguely resistant. It was unclear whether he was resisting Medici going there or he didn't want to meet the "Dark Angel" evil spirit there.

"We will have no backup, and we won't be able to carry enough seals."

"No one will see us off..." Lovia stroked the skull in her arms, her voice vague.

She tried to pray for some help or blessing from the true creator of her faith, but she didn't expect that the Lord who had always taught her a lot of secret knowledge and guided her to obtain potion formulas and evil spirits did not respond, and her prayers were in vain.

Klein was mentally prepared: "I'm fine."

"That's what I'm here for."

This team only had four people, but they were all experienced demigods, and they were much more useful than bringing a whole patrol team. After receiving a positive reply, Colin Iliad slowly walked to a wall, took down the two straight swords hanging on it, and carried them on his back.

"Let's go." The Chief of Silver City immediately gave the order in a concise manner.

They will go to the Afternoon Town Camp again to further explore the "Giant King's Court" and find the way to the real sea.

Amid the sound of metal armor plates colliding, Lovia and Klein followed the Chief out of the room and walked down the stairs.

Just as Lovia and Colin said, they had no support, and no one to see them off. In the entire silent city, there were only three of them moving forward. On the way, Klein occasionally looked up and looked around, looking at the residents of Silver City, looking at the smiles or calm expressions on their faces, and memorizing the faces of these believers he had never met before, just like he did in Moon City.

No one spoke and the scene was silent.

Medici also followed the three-person team. When he followed them to the gate of the Silver City, he was mentally prepared for the scene in front of him to suddenly change, and time would go back to the room in the high tower of the Silver City.

But—his left foot landed, and he still followed Klein and the others, successfully stepping out of the City of Silver.

Medici frowned slightly, and turned his head, only to see Ouroboros standing inside the city gate, looking at him quietly.

"Big snake," He asked, "you won't stop me?"

Ouroboros shook his head slowly:
"You'll be fine."

This sentence made Medici dazed for a moment. He suddenly remembered the battles he had fought under the Lord. Fate had also been standing quietly beside him, behind him, and beside the Lord, watching over him, waiting for him to return with good news.

The big snake finally stopped being a riddle teller!

Medici's mood suddenly improved, and the dark clouds that had been hanging over him for days were swept away. He gestured goodbye to Ouroboros, then turned around and strode to catch up with the team that had already walked a long way.

……

The three demigods and one angel were very fast.

It took almost two days. With the foundation of Silver City's last exploration, Klein knew which places were dangerous and how to avoid them. He didn't need Colin's guidance. He followed the team and soon followed the path, passed the "Decay Forest" and "Desolate Tunnel", and successfully entered the "Giant King's Court". His proficiency made the two Silver City people look at him sideways, and they just thought it was information given by the gods.

Just as Colin and the others were about to go in and explore, Klein looked around and suddenly spoke:
"Please wait for me, I have something to do."

As he spoke, he took out the dark wooden box from his arms. He had handed this item to the City of Silver along with other sealed items, but he did not say that it contained the ashes of the "Giant Guardian" Groselle. He only said that it was an important item.

According to the images he saw in Groselle’s dream, this guardhouse was where the giant had lived for a long time. It was the “home” that impressed him the most and that he missed the most.

It is conceivable that during that period of time in ancient times, Groselle and other rational "giant watchers" who came countless generations later rested here, played around, exchanged rumors, discussed music, and figured out fun ways to play games. The "harvest" favored the giants, and they did not have to worry about food or disease, and lived happily every day...

As Klein's hands shook, the dust scattered and landed on the walkways, walls, ground, tables, chairs, and stone pillars.

The orange light outside the window shines eternally, making everything seem peaceful.

When Klein scattered the last bit of ashes, the dusk suddenly became a little thicker, allowing the dust in different locations to blend into the orange and become part of the kingdom of God.

Klein closed his eyes, as if he could sense Groselle's joy.

A wanderer who was forced to leave his hometown for more than three thousand years finally returned to the place he missed day and night.

The evening light softened, and Klein and the others suddenly felt that they were no longer being rejected so much.

"Let's go," he said.

------

I'm writing this to tell you about my weekend which is hard to describe in words.

My Saturday:
My parents tricked me into going to a neighboring city with the excuse of "going out for a barbecue." But when we got to the destination, they suddenly dragged me to climb a mountain. We climbed for an hour. They said the mountain was only a little over 100 meters high. I climbed for more than half an hour and thought, how the hell could it be more than 100 meters high? Oh! It turned out to be six consecutive hills of more than 100 meters high.

When we were going down the mountain, we couldn’t find the parking lot because there was no way to go back the same way, so the parents used the map to locate it and swore that this was it. But after walking for an hour, we found out that it was not the one.

The parents said that we could just walk around the mountain since it was nearby. After walking for another half an hour, we finally found the parking lot. Then we went to the hotel. The reviews were pretty good, but when we got there, we found that we had bought a discounted room on Meituan, so it had nothing to do with the standard room in the reviews. At this point, I was in a very bad mood, but after all, I was only staying for one night, so I endured it.

Then we went to the barbecue restaurant. The parents decided to walk there. On the way, I realized that they had no plan to eat anywhere. They just asked the locals on the target street which one was busy and went there. It was indeed busy and the food was really good. It was already 9 o'clock in the evening when we had the first bite. We returned to the hotel at 10:30.

Since both beds were less than 1.2m long and there was an odd number of people, my mother and I had to share a 1.2m bed. We couldn't lie flat at all, and half of our bodies were hanging in the air. My mood was completely ruined when I heard the parents discussing getting up at : in the morning to eat breakfast. The lights were turned off at :, but I was still asleep at :.

I was woken up at 7:30 in the morning and had soup from a popular internet restaurant. It tasted terrible. Damn it.
