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

Chapter 575: About What Has Happened and What Is About to Happen
883
Emlyn stared at The Fool in a daze. His astral body suddenly became colorful. Various emotions such as nervousness, excitement, fear, and uneasiness flashed through his mind, like a neon light that was plugged in.

Seeing that Mr. Fool didn’t explain too much, he tried to sort out his thoughts and said:
"That is to say, the special path of the 'cultivator' and the 'moon' comes from the 'starry sky'. Apart from the 'divinely favored', the divine revelations and oracles they perceive all come from the 'mother'..."

The more he talked, the more horrified he felt, and the more he thought about it, the more scared he felt, because he found that many doubts were solved at once... Almost every thing was enough to prove that Mr. Fool's words were completely correct!

"Thank you for your help..."

After a full half minute, Emlyn finally recovered. He couldn't help but put his hands over his face. The fact that there were really two "Mother Goddesses" in the world shocked his worldview.

But he soon got relieved. It didn't matter who the characteristics came from. What mattered was who he followed. So the call of the "mother" from the sky had nothing to do with him. He joined the Church of the Mother Goddess of the Earth and believed in the Mother Goddess and the First Ancestor. Since the church believed that the words and oracles of the "Mother Goddess" were false temptations, he could just treat them as false.

However, after thinking about it carefully, Emlyn understood why the church regarded other oracles as temptations from the devil.

He raised his head and said to the crowd:

"...Have I ever told you? There was once a powerful vampire who tried to pray to the 'primordial moon' because of danger. As a result, she turned into a piece of meat that only knew how to mate and reproduce. She gave birth to one strange offspring after another with cows, sheep, horses, mice, and even plants and stones. Each of them was equivalent to creating a new monster race. As a result, she was quickly eliminated, and so were her offspring."

Everyone understood what "moon" meant.

Emlyn's lips moved, unable to speak, and there was a hint of indescribable fear on his face.

"At first, I suspected that the 'Original Moon' was an evil god or a high-level demon in disguise, because most of the people who prayed to it would change little by little, becoming cruel, crazy, and full of desire to reproduce. The rest, mainly the vampires, would most likely lose control on the spot and turn into real monsters... Now, I suspect that the 'Original Moon' is actually the 'Mother' in the sky..."

After a long while, he said solemnly:
"Although she is also a 'mother' and has a strong influence on these two paths, we obviously cannot understand her. Perhaps she feels that this primitive, barbaric, and cruel power and change are helpful, but the changes it brings to us are only horror..."

Just as Emlyn was deepening the horror of the "moon" and "starry sky" in everyone's hearts, Klein the Fool felt that the atmosphere had been right and that he had learned enough. He knocked on the table to stop Emlyn's words and said:
"Okay, that's it."

"Before you leave, I will exert some influence on your memory to make this knowledge harmless and prevent you from recalling these things after returning to reality. Otherwise, it will be easily sensed."

Perceived by whom? By...

Emlyn tried hard to ignore the terrifying words just now. His expression changed again and again, and finally he whispered in his heart with difficulty:
"If someone outside said this to me, I would definitely feel that this person was blaspheming both the Mother Goddess and the First Ancestor..."

Thinking about it now, I am still a little scared. What if the oracle I received also came from that person? But it seems that it is not the case at the moment. Every action has a traceable path and is in line with reality. It is really... "Moon" Emlyn sighed and said:
"I have mastered the names of the high-sequence potions of the 'cultivator' and 'moon' pathways, but I am a little confused about two of them."

After becoming a senior deacon of the Church of the Earth, he gained the corresponding authority and could consult a lot of information that he could not access in the past. Although the blood clan was a little wary of him, he was still the earl of the blood clan and was qualified to investigate more secrets.

Seeing the other members of the Tarot Club looking over, Emlyn said thoughtfully:

"Let me share some information. The Sequence 3 of the 'Moon' pathway is called 'Master Summoner', Sequence 2 is called 'Creator', and Sequence 1 is called 'Goddess of Beauty'. The Sequence 3 of the 'Tillage' pathway is called 'Coffin Bearer', Sequence 2 is called 'Mistress of Desolation', and Sequence 1 is called 'Nature Walker'.

"What I am confused about is that the names of these two potions, 'Goddess of Beauty' and 'Mistress of Desolation', both have certain gender references. What do you think?"

"..." For a moment, none of the other members of the Tarot Club spoke. Everyone looked at each other and thought of a possibility one after another.

After a few seconds, Audrey "Justice" controlled her gaze and said carefully:
"I remember that Sequence 7 of the 'Assassin' pathway is called 'Witch'. The assassins who took this potion eventually became witches."

...This... No wonder... They are all 'mothers', and there are no male 'princes'... Our blood race was created by the ancestor, and the ancestor is of course our 'mother'... Emlyn's lips moved slightly, but he couldn't say anything.

When he saw the name of the potion, he actually had a certain premonition, but he was not willing to accept it and hoped to get another explanation at the Tarot Club.

Don't worry, you probably won't become an angel. Even if you can, you won't have the chance to become a "goddess of beauty"... Klein muttered a few words in his heart, but didn't say these "comforting" words out loud.

It wasn't just Emlyn whose worldview was impacted; it was all the other Tarot Club members as well.

Leonard was standing not far away, hesitating to speak, looking at The Fool and then at The World. Mr. Fool’s tone and mood had changed so much from before, it was hard not to remind him of Amon.

Did Amon win the battle for Sefirah Castle? It was not impossible, but Mr. Fool did not wear his monocle, which was Amon's most proud feature, except when he was cheating... He felt that the "world" had not spoken up until now, nor had it participated in their discussion, which made Leonard even more uneasy.

Not only him, Leonard believed that everyone else had a strange feeling in their hearts.

Audrey was also confused by Mr. Fool's attitude today, but she said nothing and did not participate in the conversation.

“Thank you again for your answer.” Emlyn was visibly depressed. He stood up and bowed to Klein. “I praise your generosity and kindness.”

If he is not told about this kind of thing, one day he might go crazy because he misunderstood what his "mother" said, and eventually be eliminated.

Klein nodded, accepting the compliment, and said nothing else.

Seeing that Mr. "Moon"'s matter had temporarily turned over, "Judgment" Xio looked at "Magician" and asked:

"The letter said that you would be back in a while. When exactly is that? Your letter was written in a hasty and sloppy manner. If I hadn't used some means to confirm it, I would have thought you were kidnapped."

She did not hide the fact that they knew each other and were even closely related, because more than one person in the Tarot Club had lived in Backlund for a long time. As long as they communicated with each other, they would know the identities of "Judgment" and "Magician", and even "Star", "Moon" and "Justice".

At this point, Xio took a look at Fors's appearance and suddenly found that she was dressed very formally. Although she was a spirit body and the gray mist was covering them, Xio still saw a complete set of jewelry from her, including necklaces, earrings, and gem hairpins. Even her hair was neatly tied up. She was wearing a gorgeous off-shoulder dress that was not in line with Rune's style and was decorated with delicate lace.

"I was just about to share this with you, but it's not convenient to say more in the letter."

Fors hurriedly explained. After all, she didn't have her own messenger, and it would take a while for this matter to be explained. She had originally planned to find her teacher's messenger to help her deliver the letter after the banquet, but now that she was at the Tarot Club, she could just share this news with everyone.

Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on him, the "magician" Fors smiled and spoke excitedly:
"The first thing I want to share is that the full moon curse on the Abraham family has been lifted. It's really lifted!"

"From now on, I will never go crazy and suffer on a full moon again!"

"The second thing is that Mr. Men, the ancestor of the Abraham family, has returned from his travels. He is a powerful man who is at least an angel. He has now returned to the family. The Abraham family is celebrating this event, and I have been invited by my teacher to stay for a while and attend the banquet!"

After speaking, Forsi subconsciously looked at The Fool.

She still remembered that it was Mr. Fool who told her that the so-called full moon whispers were nothing more than the call or cry for help from Mr. Door Bethel Abraham, which would be amplified during the Blood Moon and could be sensed by them through the inheritance of their bloodline. It was just that the gap between them and the existence that was almost like a god was too big, so a little sound almost tore them apart.

Everyone in the Tarot Club knew that Fors was connected to the Abraham family. Not only did she inherit the Full Moon Curse through her Beyonder characteristics, she also had a good teacher. At this moment, they all congratulated her and curiously asked about Mr. Door.

The Abraham family... Is Fors in Trier now?
Audrey's eyes lit up. While she was happy that Fors' curse had been lifted, she also had the idea of ​​getting together with her friends and having a cup of afternoon tea.

She looked at Fors and found that he was also looking at her.

There was some excitement in her body movements... About me? I see, no wonder she noticed me as soon as she came to the Tarot Club, it seems that she already knew about my stay in Trier... So, the news that I joined the church has spread to a small range, after all, I am a demigod... If it is with this identity, then it would be inconvenient for me to contact the people of the Abraham family... Audrey frowned slightly.

"Did the two things happen at the same time?"

Leonard immediately noticed the key point: "The Full Moon Curse is indeed related to this ancestor? Or was it He who solved it?"

"In addition, the teacher said that the promotion ceremony can be prepared for me tomorrow, and I will soon become a 'traveler.'" After returning to the Tarot Club, her desire to share also increased. She finished the important things in one breath and looked at everyone's surprise. With an expression on his face, Forsi was in a pretty good mood.

With the two companions speaking one after another, the atmosphere at the Tarot Club became much more lively. "Judge" Xio coughed and took the initiative to speak:

"I have something to share as well."

She spoke at a moderate pace about the strange incidents of corpses resurrecting and disappearing that had occurred in various places some time ago, about people waking up suddenly, or opening a door to arrive in another city, and even about dead people being seen in the city.

After finishing speaking, Xio frowned and added, "The atmosphere in MI9 is ​​a little strange. They are fanatical and hold secret gatherings, which is very suspicious. Other than that, the city's security has been good in recent days, but this morning there was a sudden chaos in the East District, which has caused considerable casualties. Before I came to the Tarot Club, I saw from the window that the Beyonders of the Thunder Church had gone to suppress it, but I don't know what happened specifically or who the two parties in the fight were."

When Leonard heard about the "corpse resurrection" incident, he immediately thought of the "Master of Secret Puppetry" and the "Trickster". He wanted to take a sneak peek at the "Fool", but finally chose to look at the "World" at the end of the long table.

“The old man said he was going to Feysac, but he never told me where in Feysac he was going…” Leonard had a vague sense of this.

But when he thought that his destination might be a city full of secret dolls, he couldn't help but recall the horrific incident he encountered on the top of Mount Honachis, and his expression became distorted for a moment.

Klein's mouth twitched slightly, causing The World and Leonard to look at each other, but he said nothing.

After all, the "Secret City of Dolls" is a ceremony for advancement to Sequence One, and it is probably impossible to deceive Pales Zoroast. Klein is now thinking about how to balance his multiple identities in front of Leonard.

"I know a little about the East District."

Emlyn, who is currently in Backlund and has a certain information network, spoke up:
"This is an outbreak of conflict. A Feynapotter accidentally killed a Beyonder from the Thunder Church. This incident is somewhat suspicious and has become the fuse for the chaos in the East District. I have heard about this incident, but it is not under the jurisdiction of the Harvest Church."

The expression of these words seemed quite formal, as if they were roughly summarized from some official document. And his tone was exactly what a Beyonder of the Orthodox Church should be like, which reminded people of "Xingxing" who attended the meeting for the first time.

Emlyn himself was not aware of this, because he had been doing things in a businesslike manner for a long time. Although he had no sense of belonging to Loen in the first place, and now joined Feynapotter's church, his position had not completely shifted:
"That Feynapotter was also executed on the spot by another Beyonder from the Church of Thunder. No Beyonder characteristics were revealed. The biggest question in this matter is how a 58-year-old ordinary person could kill a Sequence 7 Navigator."

After finishing speaking, Emlyn frowned, recalled the other contents on the document, and expressed his own opinion:

"And the outbreak of the dispute is not right. It accurately propagates to other Feynapote people. There must be someone behind it."

“But the church has stepped in and it should be over soon.”

Alger didn't feel anything at first, but when he heard that a "navigator" was beaten to death by an ordinary person, he couldn't help but feel a little weird.

Audrey was now quite sensitive to social issues. She only roughly knew that after the failed attempt to seize the highlands, the Thunder God immediately chose to attack Feynaporte and successfully obtained a large amount of food. The belief in the Mother Earth also entered Loen, replacing the loss of the Church of the Night. This seemed to be a win-win situation, but Audrey did not expect that social problems would have a tendency to explode so quickly.

If we don't find the root cause of the conflict, it will never end...it will only brew in the dark and get bigger and bigger.

"Mr. 'Moon', you might want to be careful."

Audrey suddenly spoke, attracting Emlyn's attention. "Although you are a Beyonder and have a certain ability to protect yourself, your position is not completely with Feynaport or Loen. If the dispute escalates, you may be in danger."

"I will pay attention."

After being expelled and hunted once, and then having his wanted list inexplicably cancelled and becoming a bishop, Emlyn has become more open-minded about the relationship between the gods and the church. He nodded and said self-deprecatingly, "But it's no use reminding me. I just became an earl last week, which means I'm a Sequence 4 'Witch King'. I won't have the opportunity to be promoted again in a short period of time. I still need to slowly accumulate experience in the Church of the Mother Earth. If this kind of power is not enough to protect myself, then I have no choice but to ask for help."

Mr. "Moon" has become a demigod!

Fors was shocked, and the joy and pride she had just felt at becoming a Sequence 5 suddenly dimmed a lot.

Fortunately, when she looked at the others, she saw that except for Miss Audrey, Ms. Hermit, and Mr. World, everyone seemed as surprised as she was, which made Fors feel a little more balanced. However, Miss Audrey was indeed the demigod who had just joined the church next door... Fors couldn't help but feel deeply moved.

She still remembered the first time she met Audrey. She was just an ordinary person who was simply curious about the knowledge of mysticism but didn't know where to start. Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, she had opened the door to divinity and became a saint.

"Demigod..." Alger's heart was filled with desire.

He also noticed that Justice didn’t show any surprise. As one of the earliest elders to enter the Tarot Club, the girl whom he considered a junior had already become a demigod, while he still had no idea about how to be promoted. The Hanged Man became even more impatient. He was about to report the situation of Silver City to Mr. Fool, but he saw Mr. Fool adjust his posture, as if he had something to say.

"'Sun,'" Crane said.

Derrick, who was listening attentively to everyone's talk, was suddenly called and quickly responded, "Yes!"

The Fool smiled and drew a line in the air with his finger. The mist above the long bronze table suddenly dispersed, revealing a three-dimensional, irregular shape.

"I will notify the people of Silver City and Moon City soon and ask you to prepare and evacuate to the Northern Continent."

“Yes!” Derrick suddenly became excited and asked with curiosity and anticipation, “Dear Mr. Fool, where are we going?”

"You can choose the location of your new home."

After the Fool finished speaking, the irregular shape in the air fell onto the table, allowing everyone to see the details on it. After a closer look, everyone discovered that there were actually mountains, plains, and rivers on it, and even the names of some towns.

When everyone noticed the eye-catching name in small red letters on the east side of the irregular shape, everyone at the Tarot Club fell silent.

"Saint Miron...?"

Cattleya spoke in disbelief. She tried to open her eyes wide, and only then did she realize where she had seen the shape of this land before:
"Is this the Feysac Empire?"

"It's the Feysac Empire!" Alger's voice unconsciously became louder, "And the White Whale Sea... I've been there."

"Feysac? The largest country in the northern part of the Northern Continent? A country founded by people with giant bloodline?"

Even Derrick, after a brief moment of daze, quickly recalled the information he had just learned in the past few days, and said in disbelief: "This country believes in the god of war Badhair, who is suspected to be the 'eldest son of the giant king'... Are we going to live on this land?"

"The God of War is dead."

The Fool casually dropped a bomb: "This land will soon belong to me, and of course it will also be where my believers are."

There was a sudden silence at the Tarot Club.

TBC
------

Everyone was immersed in the shock brought by the declarations of "Another god has died" and "Is Mr. Fool going to start preaching publicly and establish a church?" No one wanted to speak for a while.

After a few seconds, Derrick spoke cautiously, "Mr. Fool, what does it mean that it will soon belong to you...?"

Klein did not speak. At the end of the long table, the "world" that had almost become invisible suddenly spoke in a hoarse voice: "The belief in the God of War has not been completely eliminated. When you get there, you will need to participate in some small wars with the locals."

"But don't worry too much. I will help you spread Mr. Fool's beliefs."

“So, we still have a chance to fight side by side?” Derrick had a very good impression of The World and smiled immediately. “Thank you, Mr. The World! I’m glad to be able to fight with you again!”

"The World" nodded slightly: "There is another person."

"who is it?"

Klein finally waited for The Fool's speech time. With a mischievous smile in his heart, he pretended to be calm and spoke:
"A symbol of blood and fire, the master of turmoil and strife."

"Or, call Him by a name that you are most familiar with..."

"Red Angel."
