Secret: The undead do not die in the fire

Chapter 364: It’s so spicy!

One day, the First Fire ignited again, night and day existed at the same time, the sun and the moon alternated day and night, bringing a new order to the world...

Several species born from darkness were attracted to the fire and found the King's soul around it:
The Giant King Ormir, the Fantasy Dragon Angerwide, the Elf King Sonya Solem, the Vampire Ancestor Lilith, the Demon King Fabuti, the Phoenix Ancestor Graygari, the Alien King Kwashitun, and the Wolf King Flegra, they divided up the scattered power of the First Flame and became gods who dominated the sky, the earth, and the sea, the reality, the spiritual world, and the astral world, and all races. They were real gods, ancient gods!

From then on, the world entered the Dark Ages...

Starting from the Second Age, the following contents are basically consistent with the popular scriptures of the seven major orthodox churches:
The Eternal Blazing Sun, the Lord of Storms, and the God of Knowledge and Wisdom were born from the light of the First Fire, and the Goddess of Night was born from the darkness of the First Fire. They led humans to defeat these extraordinary creatures one by one, ushering in the "Glorious Age" at the beginning of the Third Age...

"how do you feel?"

As the lady asked eagerly, Cattleya closed the book and faced Fors's slightly expectant gaze, thinking:
"The story of the creation myth is very complete, even I can't do better. But the writing style is more inclined to popular novels. But if I want to write the "Sacred Words" for Mr. Fool, I need to simplify it."

"Because I'm the author of the novel..." Fors muttered softly.

The Hanged Man Alger looked at the contents of the Holy Words and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

He could understand why Mr. Fool specifically asked them to compile the Records of the Holy Words. After all, only people like them who had experienced the dream world and understood its history were qualified to compile the content Mr. Fool requested about the creation of the world by the First Flame.

As for the content compiled by Miss Magician, Alger's opinion was the same as that of Cattleya, the Hermit.

Perhaps because she is not familiar enough with the scriptures of the major churches, or perhaps because of the influence of her previous experience in writing novels, Miss Magician's writing style is more similar to publishing novels, which is incompatible with the sacred and serious texts required by the scriptures.

Of course, this book of the Holy Words has more merits than flaws overall, and some inappropriate wording only requires slight revisions, and the workload in this regard will not be very large.

But compared to the "Holy Words" itself, Alger had other concerns.

Fors keenly observed Alger's silence and asked:
"Does Mr. Alger have any suggestions?"

“It’s not really a suggestion.”

Alger thought for a moment, and said:

"I'm just a little worried."

"What are you worried about?" Derrick the Sun asked suspiciously.

A strange look flashed across Cattleya's eyes, and she sighed softly:
“Are you worried about the acceptance of other churches?”

"Correct."

Alger's face turned serious and he said in a deep voice:
“I’m not questioning Mr. Fool’s point, but the content of the Records of the Holy Words is indeed incompatible with the creation myths of the mainstream beliefs of the Northern Continent. Not only ordinary people, but even the major orthodox churches will probably not accept the Records of the Holy Words very much.”

"Not too high" is a more euphemistic way of putting it. Faced with the contents in the "Record of the Holy Words" that go against "common sense", most people will instinctively reject them.

The residents of Silver City and Moon City were so receptive because they had been trapped in the God-Forsaken Land for thousands of years, and Mr. Fool, who led them out of the God-Forsaken Land, was undoubtedly the savior, so their faith was devout enough, and they would believe unconditionally no matter what Mr. Fool said.

But the Northern Continent was different. The people of the Northern Continent had been influenced by the Seven Gods Church for thousands of years and had long believed in the Seven Gods Church's scriptures. Moreover, no matter what their beliefs were, the parts of the Seven Gods Church's scriptures related to the handed-down myths were unified and had long been regarded as the truth by the people.

As for the Orthodox Church, the content of the "Record of the Holy Words" will conflict with their holy scriptures, which is to some extent damaging the foundation of the Orthodox Church. By then, in order to protect its own interests, the Orthodox Church will inevitably boycott the content of the "Record of the Holy Words", and even the "Fool" will be treated as an "evil god"!
Derrick the Sun had obviously realized this, and couldn't help but become worried.

Only Fors remained calm and composed, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised as he said:

"You don't actually have to worry about this."

Several people quickly looked at Fors, with questioning looks in their eyes.

Forth explained:

“I’m not sure about other churches, but the Church of Darkness will definitely not reject the contents of the Holy Words.”

Cattleya and Alger immediately figured out the hidden meaning in her words—

Mr. Fool has already reached an agreement with the Goddess of Night, and the two sides may even have been allies for a long time. Therefore, the Church of Night will not reject the "Record of the Holy Words", but may also modify the creation myth in the "Revelation of Night" to a certain extent!

It is no wonder that the "Divine Word" would separately beautify "night" in the creation myth, describing night as a part of the first fire, with the same status as day. Regardless of day or night, both are part of the first fire and the embodiment of the new order!

Although the support of the Church of Darkness alone is far from enough for "The Word of God" to be accepted by everyone, it at least means a good start.

Alger Wilson pondered for a moment and slowly said:

"The Storm Church may also make certain compromises."

After a pause, perhaps worried that others might not understand, he added:

"The fact that they allowed me to come here has already shown their position to some extent."

Cattleya thought for a moment and said:
"If that's the case, the Church of Knowledge shouldn't be an obstacle to us."

"But other than that, it should be difficult for us to win the support of other Orthodox churches."

A full-scale war has broken out in the northern continent. The Republic of Intis, the Feysac Empire, and the Feynaport Kingdom are all joining forces to attack the Kingdom of Loen. This means that, except for the Church of Storms and the Church of Knowledge, the other four great churches are their enemies.

They cannot expect or need support from their enemies.

The Storm Church and the Knowledge Church know the principle of "the lips and the teeth are interdependent".

Therefore, they would not reject the Church of the Fool as their ally. After all, the joining of a true god could balance the situation that was gradually getting out of control. And the price they had to pay was only to modify some of the contents of the Creation Myth in the Holy Scripture.

This will neither shake the believers' faith in God nor pose a threat to the rule of the Orthodox Church, so they naturally have no reason to refuse.

Fors couldn't help but sigh:

"When this war is over, the entire world will change. By then, the Church of the Seven Gods may suffer a certain degree of casualties..."

Everyone present understood her subtext—in this war, perhaps a true God would fall!

"not necessarily."

Alger said slowly:

"The key to this war lies between the Kingdom of Loen and the Feysac Empire. The victory of either side can declare the war over."

"So, the Church of the Seven Gods may still be the Church of the Seven Gods." Fors and Cattleya held their breath, because they both understood Alger's subtext - this war may end with the fall of the God of War, and once the God of War falls, the Fool will naturally fill the vacancy!

By then, the Church of the Seven would still be the Church of the Seven, only with one more 'Fool' and one less God of War.

Derrick held it in for a long time, and couldn't help but ask:
"Should we talk about something else?"

It's not because he's a little scared, it's just because he doesn't understand! You guys don't explain clearly, who can understand? !

"Then let's talk about something else."

Alger changed the subject and asked:

"What do you think of 'Operation Hunt'?"

Several people immediately realized that the Hanged Man was referring to the hunting operation proposed by Miss Justice - just as the name implies, the purpose of this operation was to hunt a demigod.

Cattleya asked directly:

"Do you have a goal?"

She knew that since Alger spoke at this time, he must have a relatively complete idea.

"Have!"

Alger said without hesitation:

"Admiral of the Feysac Empire, Commander of the Sonia Sea Fleet, Yegor Einhorn!"

"The demigod of the Feysac Empire?"

Cattleya's eyes moved slightly. This choice was actually very good.

Since Mr. Fool has already stated that he stands on the side of the Kingdom of Loen, then as his believers, they should naturally help him solve his problems. Then, hunting the enemies of the Kingdom of Loen, the demigods of the Feysac Empire are undoubtedly a good choice.

On the one hand, it can complete the "trial" proposed by Miss Justice, and on the other hand, it can also reduce the pressure on the Kingdom of Loen. The navy of the Kingdom of Loen was severely damaged in the sneak attack by the Feysac Sonia Sea Fleet. The number is seriously insufficient, and it can only barely maintain the defense near the West Sonia Sea and the Rorsted Islands.

As for other areas in the Sonia Sea, the fleet of the Feysac Empire can only roam freely.

And if Admiral Yegor Einhorn could be killed, Feysac's fleet would be thrown into chaos in a short period of time, making it difficult to launch a large-scale attack. This would also provide the Loen Kingdom's navy with some breathing time.

For thought for a moment and asked:
"I don't have any objection, but how many people do you think would be appropriate to act together?"

"how many people?"

Alger hesitated for two seconds. This was indeed a difficult problem worth discussing. It was not because there were not enough people, but because there were too many people!

Excluding the newly joined 'Star' Leonard, the Tarot Club has a total of one true god, one suspected true god, one angel and seven demigods.

This is just the Tarot Club, but over in the Church of Fools, there are four demigods in Silver City and three in Moon City.

Adding up both sides, there are a total of fourteen demigods!
This is just the ones on the surface, and no one knows how many followers Mr. Fool has, just like Mr. World.

Among them, Mr. Fool had already told them the names of seven angels in order to make it easier for them to compile the Holy Words: Secret Keeper Angel, Dusk Angel, Punishment Angel, Redemption Angel, Death Angel, Mercury Angel, and the Time Angel with the same name as Amon!

You know, in all the major churches, the number of angels usually does not exceed two. But the Church of Fools has seven. Even Alger can't help but sigh from time to time - our Church of Fools is really too powerful!
As for this hunting operation, if the fourteen demigods go out together, there will be no demigod they cannot kill. But the problem is that since the purpose of this hunting operation is to give them a "trial" as they have just become demigods, it is not suitable for too many people to act together, at least the demigods of Silver City and Moon City are not suitable to participate.

But if the number of participants is too small, it will not be safe - any organized demigod is difficult to be killed by a demigod of the same level, because they can always find a chance to ask for protection from angels or even gods.

Once angels and gods intervened, it would be almost impossible to kill a demigod, unless they also sought the protection of corresponding angels and gods to offset the other party's advantages.

Alger thought for a long time and said solemnly:

"My suggestion is, go together."

"Too few people is not safe, and mistakes may lead to injuries or even sacrifices."

"So it's best for everyone to participate. Even if only three or four people are actually needed to participate in the hunt, the rest can assist. Of course, in order to ensure that everyone can achieve the purpose of the 'trial', it is necessary to select another demigod as a target."

"Well, how about Franz Einhorn?"

After hearing the name Alger said, Fors's expression became a little strange.

Although she had just become a demigod, she had little knowledge of the specific demigods in the Feysac Empire. But with the help of Xiou, she was not unfamiliar with the generals in the Feysac Empire Army, and she also knew that most of these generals were demigods.

And Franz Einhorn is one of them.

As can be seen from the last name, Franz Einhorn is also a member of the Einhorn family and the commander of the Feysac Empire's inter-sea fleet. When the Feysac Empire launched a fierce attack on the inter-sea line, this admiral automatically became the supreme commander of the inter-sea front.

If these two demigods were hunted down at the same time, even if Sack had other demigods to fill the gaps, chaos would still be inevitable. If the Kingdom of Loen seized the opportunity to launch a counterattack, it would even have a chance to take the initiative in the war.

"I think it's okay."

Before Fors expressed his opinion, Cattleya spoke first:

"Yegor has contacted my boatswain Nina, hoping that the Star Pirates can help the Feysac Empire harass the Loen Navy's logistics supply lines. I can take this opportunity to obtain Yegor's location coordinates and get closer to him. By then..."

Cattleya paused for a moment, looked at Fors and said:
"Ms. Fors, then it will depend on you."

"I'll try my best."

Fors took a deep breath. The huge pressure made her a little breathless.

If they wanted to complete the assassination in the shortest possible time, they could only rely on her, the 'Traveler'. Because only the 'teleportation' of the Traveler could quietly approach Yegor Einhorn and have a chance to strangle him in the cradle before he asked for help from angels or even gods.

The Hanged Man Alger thought for a moment, then looked at Derrick and said:
"To be on the safe side, we may need to borrow a few seals from Silver City and Moon City."

"no problem."

'Sun' Derrick said without hesitation.
