Secret: The undead do not die in the fire

Chapter 401 Just the master’s order

In the astral realm, the Hidden Sage had undoubtedly completed His apotheosis ritual.

In the vast and complex torrent of information, the blooming light completely enveloped his figure, making it impossible to see his true form.

He has ascended to true God.

The God of Steam and Machinery stared at the ball of light closely. The 'Great Wall' composed of a flood of complex information that separated him and the 'Hidden Sage' had collapsed. There was no longer any obstacle between them, but he did not act rashly.

Because regardless of whether the Hidden Sage successfully ascended to Sequence 0, the God of Steam and Machinery had no reason to continue attacking Him.

If the Hidden Sage fails to be promoted, his next attack will only cause accidental injuries to friendly forces.

And if the Hidden Sage has been promoted to Sequence 0, then it will be difficult for the God of Steam and Machinery, who is also Sequence 0, to win this battle. Continuing will not benefit either side, and the best outcome is that both sides will suffer losses.

Fortunately, when the light faded, Amon, wearing a pointed hat and a classical black robe, appeared before the God of Steam and Machinery.

And in the palm of this 'blasphemer', there was an illusory ball of light.

That is the Hidden Sage.

In other words, it is the 'essence' that remains from Him.

This former king of angels died at the hands of Amon during his own apotheosis ceremony on the first day of 1351!
"such a pity."

Amon looked at the 'essence' in his hand and said with regret.

This is a complete extraordinary characteristic of one path. As long as it can be successfully integrated, you can become a dual-path true god and your strength will be greatly enhanced!
Unfortunately, the Hermit path is not on His adjacent path, and forced fusion will only lead to loss of control.

Amon made a "tsk" sound and threw the illusory ball of light towards the God of Steam and Machinery.

The latter did not hesitate at all, and the moment he took the light ball, he immediately turned into a faint light and disappeared into the star realm. He wanted to return to his kingdom of God and integrate and digest the Hermit path as soon as possible.

The giant snake swimming in the void stared at the illusory ball of light with extremely greedy eyes.

It was not until the God of Steam and Machinery left with the illusory ball of light that the snake suddenly turned its angry gaze towards Adam!

Every time we do work, we look for Him, but He never gets a share of the spoils.

If you keep going like this, who will work for you Adam? !

Adam ignored Him, and His figure in the astral world disappeared silently.

When he appeared again, he was already inside the church of bones, where a huge cross was erected and countless skulls were staring at him with their empty "eyes".

Adam, who was wearing a simple white robe, looked up as if he had sensed something, and saw a huge scarlet eye through the stained glass. The undead snake was obviously not so easy to calm down, and its huge body wrapped around the church, as if to force Adam to submit.

Adam's expression remained calm.

This is why He was unwilling to give Lakkad even the slightest benefit. This immortal snake was too uncontrollable and could go to war with Him just because of some trivial matters, even more than once.

Even though Adam had already rewarded Him, this greedy snake could never be satisfied.

Such creatures, no matter how powerful they are, cannot be considered as allies.

Otherwise, this "ally" would not mind spitting out his snake tongue behind his back and swallowing other allies in one gulp.

And all along, Adam's position of Him was just a useful tool.

Adam naturally didn't care about the tool's dissatisfaction, because Lakkad had no choice.

Having betrayed once, he can no longer return to his former camp, and the only one who can provide him with shelter is Adam.

Intis, Trier, St. Rosel's Cathedral.

The city had undoubtedly been taken over by Roselle, and even the Steam Church was powerless to stop it. Even in the face of complaints and complaints from those powerful believers, the only thing the Steam Church could do was to appease them.

Before their gods gave their oracles, they could only try their best to restrain the conflict with Roselle.

But this attitude also made the Steam believers more and more uneasy. They began to suspect that Roselle might have reached some kind of consensus with the Steam Church, and they, the believers, might become victims.

Under this suspicion, in their eyes, even the name "Saint Roselle Cathedral", which has been used for more than a hundred years, has become proof that the two sides have reached a consensus on cooperation.

Inside St. Roselle's Cathedral, Archbishop Horamyk Haydon waited outside the sanctuary until he was called.

Horamik walked quickly into the temple. On the high platform stood a mechanical puppet made up of countless gears, screws, chains, bearings and other mechanical parts. He wore a triple crown inlaid with sapphires, emeralds and other gems on his head, and wore a bright red sage robe. In his hand, he held a scepter in a strange shape, which was also made up of mechanical parts. He looked like a great sage.

Horamick couldn't help asking:
"Great Sage, does my Lord have any instructions?"

The robot looked down at Horamick, its mechanical eyes glowing red, and its mechanical tone lacked any emotion:

"My Lord has sent down an oracle, asking us to cooperate with Roselle to rebuild the Intis Empire."

"Rebuild the Intis Empire?" Horamick's breathing suddenly stopped.

He was not from Intis, but a native of Loen. However, due to the wrong stance of the Steam Church in the war, all members of the Steam Church, including him, had been expelled from Loen.

But even if Horamik is not an Intis, he knows very well that people in this country will never accept the restoration of the Intis Empire!
But why would God send down such an oracle?

"in addition."

The great sage Caul stretched out his right hand and took out a mechanical book from the void and handed it to Horamick, his tone still unchanged:
"This is the new version of the Holy Scripture of Steam and Machinery. You must replace the old version as soon as possible so that all believers can feel the blessing of our Lord."

"Go ahead and do it."

Horamick was silent for a moment and whispered:

"I'll do it right away."

He turned and walked out of the temple without any questions or even asking the reason.

He knew that the Great Sage Caul had a past with Emperor Roselle, and that his orders were almost entirely biased towards Emperor Roselle, but Horamick did not think that he was being partial. Because even if Caul really remembered the old relationship, being able to become the Great Sage of the Steam Church had already proved his piety to the 'God of Steam and Machinery'.

As a person with a devout faith, he would never use false oracles to show favoritism.

In other words, the Great Sage's orders are the oracle of the God of Steam and Machinery.

Although Horamick still didn't know the reason, since it was an oracle, he only needed to execute it - the gods would not make mistakes, and even if they did make a mistake, it must be a problem in execution.

With this thought in mind, Horamick left the temple. But in the corridor outside the temple, Horamick hesitated and opened the new version of the Holy Book of Steam and Machinery. The words on it immediately caught his eye: "In ancient times, the world was not yet divided and was shrouded in fog. There were gray rocks, towering trees and immortal ancient dragons everywhere.

Then, one day, the First Fire was ignited. As the fire rose, the world began to look different.

......"

Trier, White Maple Palace.

In the restaurant, Roselle sat at the main seat, Bernadette sat on his left, and Bonois sat on his right.

This was a family dinner, but it clearly didn't have the atmosphere of a family dinner.

Bernadette cut a piece of medium-rare black pepper steak and gracefully brought the small piece of beef to her mouth, letting the aroma of the meat and the juice linger in her mouth.

But from beginning to end she never went to see her father and brother, as if they were two familiar strangers.

Russell was deeply hurt as he watched his daughter become distant.

You risked your life to save him just two days ago, how come you changed your attitude so quickly? Am I not your beloved father?
Roselle poured himself a glass of red wine sadly, tilted his head back and drank it all.

The bitter wine enters the throat and makes the heart ache!
pain!It hurts so much!
Roselle drank it all in one gulp, picked up another bottle of red wine, and suddenly looked at Bonois and asked:
"Would you like a drink?"

Bonois remained silent. He has always been like this, proving with practical actions that silence is golden.

But facing his 'father's' question, he had no reason to refuse, so he pushed the cup closer to Roselle.

Russell glanced at him and asked indifferently:
"Pour the wine."

Bonois looked up at his old father, then looked at his sister opposite him, and seemed to understand something.

He stood up, picked up the bottle and poured a glass for his old father, then poured himself another glass and took a sip.

Suddenly, Bonois and Bernadette stopped at the same time.

The former put down the wine glass that was handed to his mouth, while the latter put the cut steak back on the plate and looked up at the sky.

Even Roselle seemed to sense something and looked towards the darkness outside the Baifeng Palace.

Bernadette said softly:

"The Hidden Sage has fallen."

The Hidden Sage is not an ordinary angel, his essence is the "uniqueness" activated under the philosophy of the Moss Ascetic Order. It is also based on the philosophy of the Moss Ascetic Order that the Hidden Sage is more "generous" than any other god - he never hesitates to impart knowledge to his believers and any extraordinary people in the Hermit Path, regardless of whether they need it or not.

Any extraordinary person on the Hermit path will feel that there is a pair of eyes watching him all the time, trying to teach him the most secret knowledge of the world.

As a Sequence 2 angel, Bernadette was not immune. Instead, she received more attention because of her strength as an angel.

But just now, along with the unusual movement in the star realm, the pair of eyes that had been watching her suddenly disappeared without a trace!
There is only one explanation, that is, the hidden sage has fallen!
The only question is, who can kill this being who is only one step away from the true God?

Bonova was silent for a moment, then turned his gaze to Roselle and slowly said:

"My Lord has sent down an oracle that the Church of Steam will fully support you in restoring the Intis Empire."

"What is restoration?"

Russell snorted coldly: "I'm just taking back what belongs to me!"

"Whether it is the Intis Republic or the Intis Empire, they are all masterpieces of your father."

"But now, the Republic of Intis has deviated from the direction I originally set. This country needs to be corrected!"

Bonois made no reply, neither assent nor objection.

Russell looked at him, looked at his youngest son's eyes that ignored everything, and suddenly sneered:
"Steam Church, huh."

The Steam Church has two angels, at least on the surface.

One is Bonova and the other is the great sage Kaur.

The former was his youngest son, who had been destined by the God of Steam and Machinery to be a tool to check and balance him when he was born. Of course, on the other hand, it was also because Bonova was indeed extremely talented and could go a long way on the path of Extraordinary People.

If it weren't for Bonova's extraordinary talent, the Steam Church would have given up on him as soon as he died.

And the latter, Belisarius Cole.

He is an orphan adopted by the Church of Steam.

During Kaul's growth, Russell had a huge impact on his life. At that time, Russell was still very naive and had the idea of ​​"someone can replace him". Kaul was a nail in his back.

But unfortunately, he underestimated the power of faith and overestimated his position in Kaul's heart.

But even so, Russell still had an indelible influence on Kaul.

For example, the reason why Cawl was able to be promoted to a Sequence 2 angel and become a great sage of the Steam Church in just over a decade was also thanks to Roselle - he had been contaminated by the 'Fallen Mother Goddess' at the time, but thanks to the help of the 'Dark Moon', he was still able to regain clarity occasionally.

Before he was promoted to the Black Emperor, he once ventured into the Saint Roselle Church and killed the Triple Crown Champion at the time, the first Great Sage of the Church of Steam. The Sequence 2 Beyonder characteristic left behind by the other party after his death eventually led to the creation of the current Great Sage Cawl.

He made Kaur, but Kaur could not make him.

Just as he created the Church of Steam and Machinery and the God of Steam and Machinery, but the Church of Steam betrayed him, so Roselle had long been prepared to fight against the Church of Steam.

He could already foresee that he would face huge resistance from the Steam Church in the process of rebuilding his empire.

However, the God of Steam and Machinery has now personally sent down an oracle, asking the Steam Church to cooperate with him.

This certainly couldn't be the God of Steam and Machinery having a change of heart. It could only mean that the other party had more important things to do and couldn't be disturbed.

Combined with the death of the Hidden Sage, the purpose of the God of Steam and Machinery is naturally obvious - He is seeking to become a dual-path true God, and does not want to be disturbed during this period, so he does not hesitate to let the Steam Church make huge concessions to Roselle!
Roselle's blue eyes suddenly became deep, and he said in a low voice:

"Although the Hidden Sage is not a true god, he is not far behind. If he were so easy to deal with, he would not have been active from the Fourth Epoch to the present day. So there must be someone secretly helping the Lord of Steam."

"Adam?"
