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

836
In Trier, Audrey had great difficulty in taking her eyes away from Hermes' outstretched hand and his sincere eyes.

She wasn’t sure if she was receiving any psychological suggestion, but at a certain moment just now, she seemed to really feel the gaze of the gods, as if her spirit was compatible with a higher being and she had received the other party’s "revelation". That mysterious feeling made her feel physically and mentally comfortable, just like when Mr. Fool’s "angel" spread his wings to protect her a long time ago... There was an indescribable sacredness and joy.

"Divine revelation" is a very elusive thing.

The church's scriptures were filled with fables about ordinary or outstanding people who were suddenly inspired and enlightened one day, and were thus enveloped by the glory of the gods. However, Audrey knew that even some saints had never received divine revelations.

If she were an ordinary Beyonder, she would have knelt down and praised the gods devoutly when she had that feeling just now. However, it was this mysterious revelation that woke Audrey from her joy, and she began to worry whether a certain god was trying to take her as his favored one.

This is glory and grace, but it comes too unexpectedly.

"Please let me...please let me think about it again."

Being able to give revelation to an angel who believed in the Creator, and coming just when the angel had finished his mission, the angel's identity was about to be revealed.

——It is the "God who created everything, the omniscient and omnipotent Lord" mentioned by Hermes!
This... Audrey remained calm and gave herself a "comfort" to help her mind, which had been a little confused due to the excitement of receiving the Creator's revelation, regain rationality.

In the current world of occultism, this honorific name actually appeared for the first time. The "Lord who created everything" belongs to the real Creator, so this honorific name is naturally regarded as the self-upgrade of the real Creator after he seized the authority of the "Eternal Blazing Sun". Such self-upgrades are of course welcomed and promoted by the members of the former Aurora Society and the current Creator Church, as everyone hopes that their Lord will be more powerful.

As a result, this honorable name quickly replaced the original "Lord who created everything, the Lord behind the veil of shadows" as it was promoted.

Mr. Fool had no hostility towards the real Creator who had re-established his image, and Audrey was also aware of this.

Although most people in the mysterious world do not know why the true creator calls himself "the Lord who created everything" and "the omniscient and omnipotent God", they basically do not know the meaning of authority. They do not need to understand too much about the affairs of gods. They only need to know that praying to this honorable name can get a response from the true creator.

But Audrey knew.

She also knew that the full name was "The Lord who created everything, the omniscient and omnipotent God, you are the root of all greatness, the beginning and the end, the God of gods, the ruler of the vast starry sky" - because this was the name of the ancient sun god that Derrick and his friends believed in.

After realizing this, Audrey suddenly had doubts one after another in her mind.

"The perfect kingdom of heaven, the ideal world, is it the kingdom of the ancient sun god, or the multi-racial mixed civilization dominated by humans that was once established on the East Continent? The goal of the Twilight Hermits is to bring that era back?"

"The ancient Hermes language was circulated very early. Because it shares the same roots with the ancient Giant language, it is believed to have come from a similar era as the Giant language. Mr. Hermes is also a pioneer of mankind. He was born in the Second or Third Age..."

“…He should know about the ancient sun god, but why does he say ‘the original God’ when he preaches?”

"Is it because the history of the East Continent has been buried, and the name of the Ancient Sun God is unknown? But God... doesn't seem as famous as the Creator. It might even seem a little strange when you hear it for the first time."

Audrey recalled carefully and confirmed that she had never heard Derrick mention the term "Original God", nor the symbol of "Thunder, the Eye that Watches the World" in his preaching. But combined with the matter of power plunder, it was not difficult for Audrey to guess that this "Creator God" should be the master of these five adjacent paths, the True God of the Five Paths!

How powerful would a five-path true god be? Audrey didn't think about it, because a single-path true god was already a great existence that she couldn't imagine.

Hermes preached to her about the Creator, which was fine, but the description of the Creator was very different from Audrey's impression.

Of course, this can also be interpreted as the real creator eager to take the other three paths into his pocket. It is completely reasonable to change the name and title after changing the image. After all, Audrey does not need to understand too much about the gods.

Audrey felt that there was no need to hide her doubts, but she was also not ready to speak them out now.

She was not sure whether Hermes could see the specific content of her thoughts and doubts. If he was willing to answer, that would be the best. If Mr. Hermes was unwilling and hinted to Audrey that she was willing to join the Dusk Hermits, then she would have no choice but to join.

She composed herself and said:

"I have just become a demigod, and I am flattered to suddenly receive an invitation from a being like you and such an organization."

"If possible, I hope you can give me some time to think about it and let me familiarize myself with the affairs of the Psychological Alchemy Society first."

Hermes did not show any dissatisfaction. He still nodded gently and did not ask Audrey how long she needed to think about it. Instead, he accepted Audrey's refusal. This attitude made Audrey feel a little relieved. Then, she heard Hermes say with a smile:

"This matter certainly requires careful consideration, and your attitude and caution put me at ease."

"But since you have joined our church and organization, we still need to prepare an introduction ceremony and baptism for you."

Audrey thought about it and nodded in agreement.

When I was talking to Ms. D, Irena, the issue of conversion came up naturally.

This was something that could not be avoided or faked. After all, she was no longer a commoner who could change her faith at any time (although as the daughter of an earl, if she announced her conversion it would certainly cause a stir in the upper class). She was now a newcomer to the Church of the Creator and her relatives in Intis. She was a Beyonder who came from the Loen branch, a newly promoted demigod, and it was natural that she needed to declare it.

Seeing that she had no objection, Hermes set a date according to the doctrine:
"Today is December 12, Friday. Audrey, you came at the right time. If you have no objection, the church will baptize you on Sunday, which is Sunday. You are welcome to join us."

"After the baptism ceremony, I will arrange a job for you. Haha, now I am the highest-ranking person in Trier, and I am forced to do something. Audrey, do you want to be in charge of the hospital, the church school, or the church's poorhouse?"

"Or maybe you are more interested in the affairs of the Southern Continent, and are concerned about your patients, so you would consider participating in diplomacy and the National Parliament?"

Hermes' words once again accurately hit the point that Audrey was most concerned about. She did not rush to answer, but smiled first and said softly, "Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Hermes."

"However, I think I still have two days before Sunday to find a suitable position for me. Now, I hope to meet my guide, Ms. D from your church... and my distant cousin, Ms. Irena Montemar. I should have gone to the Cathedral of Light to meet her as soon as I arrived in Intis, but I put it off until now. I hope she won't be angry because of my willfulness."

Hermes smiled knowingly and said:

"When you are in a foreign country, you should really spend time with your familiar relatives."

Finally, He asked again, "Audrey, are you interested in the Lord's teachings? If you want to get more information before officially joining, I can give you a more detailed introduction to the 'Kingdom of Heaven' and the Creator's teachings."

Audrey pondered for a moment and had to admit that she was really - very interested in heaven.

She had heard the teachings of the gods since she was a child. She could recite all the important chapters of the Apocalypse of the Night. She also knew a little about the teachings of other gods and the propaganda and descriptions of the Kingdom of God, but it was the first time Audrey heard the saying "His Kingdom will come to the earth." The gods usually promised after death, but why would the Creator, why would God, promise to enter the Kingdom of Heaven while alive?

Trier is indeed in a pretty good state now, with welfare in place, children able to go to school, and a vibrant city. But this is based on a decreasing population and increasing jobs. How exactly does this god want to build an ideal "heaven" where everyone can be happy?
So Audrey said honestly, "Yes, I want to know more."

Hermes nodded as if he was pleased:
"Then let's go, Audrey, to the cathedral. I'll go back with you on the way."

Audrey nodded gently and followed Hermes to the Cathedral of Light at the end of the main road.

Ahead was her destination, the organization she was going to join, the church that awaited the new demigod, and Ms. D, with whom she was related by blood.

At this moment, she suddenly realized more clearly than ever before: Audrey Hall actually had no relatives in Intis.

There were no kind distant relatives who took in the noble girl out of kindness. Those were all white lies that she and Ms. D made up to comfort her parents and brother. There were only future companions and future collaborators who welcomed her because of her strength. Everything after that had to depend on Audrey herself. Money and her past status could not make her respected. At the same time, everything she gained in Trier, whether it was failure, success, torture or status, had nothing to do with the Hall family.

Audrey didn't look back. She said goodbye to her past self in her heart, and then followed Hermes with great anticipation.

……

On the beach of the East Continent, amidst the fishy smell of the sea, gusts of smoke, and the aroma of grilled fish, Medici and Ouroboros looked at Amon together, as if they were confronting each other. There was no pleasant atmosphere of old acquaintances meeting each other.

Facing this old acquaintance who was much stronger than the two of them now, Medici was a little wary and surprised, while Ouroboros frowned slightly, as if he was examining the fate of both parties.

After a moment, Ouroboros looked away.

“He” did not use a mind link, because at such a close distance, Amon would be able to eavesdrop on him anyway, so he spoke directly to Medici:
"His connection with the Lord of Mysteries has almost completely disappeared."

Medici didn't care about Amon's expression or thoughts at all. He acted as if he didn't see him and asked loudly and directly, "Oh? Are you saying that Amon has completely lost the chance to compete for the title of Lord of Mysteries?"

Ouroboros did not look at Amon again. He focused his eyes on the sea fish that was just beginning to emit steam on the simple grill, and said nothing.

Far more than that. The Angel of Destiny thought that the disappearance of destiny had many metaphors, and Amon, as the uniqueness of activation and one of the constituent elements of the Lord of Mysteries, was gradually losing contact with the Lord of Mysteries in terms of destiny. This either proved that Amon's destiny would be stolen by a being stronger than him, just like he stole others and became a "luckless person", or it hinted that Amon would die in an unspeakable place, perhaps in the starry sky or underground. In short, he would not become a part of the Lord of Mysteries, at least Ouroboros could not see it.

"…Are you curious about this question?"

Amon spread his hands with a smile on his face. If it weren't for the barely perceptible stiffness in his body movements, anyone would have thought that he had completely let go and accepted his impending fate.

"Yeah, I'm very curious."

Medici twisted a blade of grass in his hand, narrowed his eyes, and confronted Amon: "I am very curious about why you are here, and I am also curious about what else you want to do. If you don't tell me, I will ask the Outer God who brought you here. It's not impossible."

Unfortunately, the two angels present were not spectators, and their current sequences were lower than the "God of Fraud", so they did not see Amon's true thoughts. Medici laughed, reached out and patted Ouroboros on the shoulder, his eyes still fixed on Amon:

"Orochi, why do you think this guy is still here? Oh, where did I stop before? Did I tell you that Amon had obtained Sefirah Castle from Klein? But now you can look at Him without your eyes bleeding. Amon, where is your Sefirah Castle?"

Ouroboros didn't speak, and Medici didn't seem to need an answer when he talked to himself. He focused on the grilled fish, and tried to use his eyes to hint Medici to put some sea salt on it from the small pocket at hand. In the eyes of the angel of fate, Amon, who had lost all his destiny, was actually not as important as the grilled fish in front of him that was almost cooked but had no taste at all.

But Medici didn't notice the look in his colleagues' eyes at all. He stroked his chin and thought about the possible developments, then couldn't help laughing:
"Was it taken back by Klein? Then I will start celebrating."

Amon's lips moved, he seemed to want to say something but stopped, and finally he glanced at Ouroboros and Medici, and suddenly revealed a sad sneer: "Haha, Medici, it seems that you are the happiest person after I fell to this point. It seems that since you were killed by me and Bethel, you can't forget this hatred. If I say that I will die soon, will you feel better?"

"Are you going to die?"

Medici glanced at Amon calmly, but was shocked in his heart.

If Amon were to try to understand Medici's mood now, he would find that it was actually similar to his own reaction when Badhair was killed not long ago, mainly due to grief over the death of a rabbit, a bit caught off guard, and simply regretting that a familiar person was about to disappear from the world.

Death, for mythical creatures, has different feelings. Ouroboros may accept the fate of death, Medici may look forward to a spectacular extinguishing, but high divinity does not mean no emotion. If an object will never appear again from now on, a familiar person will never appear in front of oneself and speak to oneself again, even mythical creatures will sigh slightly for this.

Amon narrowed his eyes, trying to find some discomfort or even sadness on Medici's face, as if this would make him feel a little happy before his impending death. Although he and others killed Medici, he still felt sad for the past of the Third Age. Amon felt as if he had won a spiritual victory, even though he was the one who missed the past of the Third Age the most.

"Haha." Medici said, "Have a nice trip."

Medici didn't know what Amon was thinking. He had sent his Lord away twice. Would he still care about the death of his Lord's good son?
"You don't have to be so heartless."

The Outer God who had returned from fishing at the beach joined the increasingly tense conversation among the mythical creatures, rubbed some pepper, sea salt, and chili pepper on the cut and spread fish, and then found a seat next to the fire grill.

"Maybe in the future you will all be captured by God and relive the old dreams of the Third Age together in heaven." Edward said leisurely.

Medici sneered, did not respond, and did not look at Amon again.

But Edward took the initiative to talk to Him. If His goal was just to throw Amon into Chernobyl, there was no need for Him to make a special detour to watch the two gods fighting against the angels who were catching seafood on the beach of the East Continent.

"Do you still want to return to the throne of God?" Edward said straight to the point, "Your godhood ritual has been useless for two thousand years since you died. One of your sequences is in the Feysac royal family, which is now leaderless. The other is in the hands of the original witch. I don't mind trying to get it for you. Although the final uniqueness is contaminated, it may not be impossible to remove it."

Medici, who was pretending to look at the sea, was forced by these words to turn around and look at Him. Although he knew very well that he should not accept the devil's conditions, he still narrowed his eyes, smacked his lips for a moment, and sneered:
"It sounds like I just need to snatch a Sequence One from the younger generation of the Einhorn family. It seems like everyone is helping me. I can't believe this. Besides, why should I cooperate with the Outer Gods?"

Edward shrugged.

"Do you think you are still competitive now? If you hadn't stayed in the East Continent, the Original Witch probably wouldn't have minded taking you all away during the previous God War. Maybe I'm overthinking it, and you don't mind being part of the Original Witch and getting in touch with the City of Disaster again."

"Your persistence is worthy of respect, but as an Outer God, I don't think I need to explain anything to you. Why don't you ask Ouroboros if this is your last chance to become a god?"
