Mystery: Those years when I was a foreign aid for the Aurora Club

Chapter 237 The way forward is unknown
497
After saying goodbye to Gehrman Sparrow, "Admiral of the Stars" Cattleya rubbed her temples, feeling that the nerves that had been tense due to the ruins of the God War and this "companion" could finally relax.

Frank Lee was busy, and Anderson spoke highly of the roasted chicken apple, which made him very happy, and he couldn't wait to continue his research.

After they left the range of the ruins of the God War, another small sailboat with an unremarkable appearance slowly followed behind. Monks, but there is no sign of the Orthodox Church on board.Cattleya had discovered it a long time ago and had been vigilant all the time. Fortunately, the other party did not approach, and they lived in peace until they left.

"Bloodless" Heath Doyle stood in the shadows, watching the small sailboat silently until it disappeared from his sight.

After counting, the "Future" lost a total of about a quarter of the people, most of them were massacred because they encountered the "Undead King" before entering the ruins of the God War, and a small part was because of the remnants of the gods in the sea area. power impact.

No matter what, the "Star Pirates" needed to recruit a new manpower.

As for whether to recruit some ordinary people or low-sequence Extraordinary people with experience in sailing and extraordinary events from the "Moss Penance Order", or directly recruit some sailors with legitimate purposes from the channels she is familiar with, Cattleya is not the first It was time to venture out to sea for the first time, and the plan was drawn up that night.

It was getting dark, and the pirates who had completed an adventure were happily drinking and making noise on the deck. Cattleya had no intention of joining them, but she also planned to go over to say a few words and drink a few glasses of light beer.

"Everyone has worked hard."

Frank poured her a glass of beer, and Cattleya said to Nina who was the first to toast: "Dock at our port tonight, everyone can drink Nebos to their heart's content, of course, it cannot affect the departure to Bayam tomorrow morning supply."

"Long live the captain!" Nina cheered with a bold personality, drank a drink with Cattleya, then picked up a bottle of Nepos, and rushed to the corner to compete with her companions.

There was a jubilant and lively atmosphere on the deck. Cattleya and the others quietly left after drinking a few drinks. At this time, the navigator Otorov followed carefully and followed Cattleya into the cabin in silence.

After coming to the cabin corridor with dim butter lamps, Cattleya turned around and asked, "What's the matter?"

The elderly "Secret Peeper" Otorov opened his mouth, and said in a complicated and panicked way: "After returning to the voyage, I immediately went to collect some information on the sea during this period..."

"What happened?" Cattleya frowned, puzzled by the cowering look of the navigator.

"Uh... you..." Otorov stammered dryly, "maybe, maybe you need to see for yourself..."

Cattleya was even more surprised. The navigator's behavior was very different from usual, which made her realize that some unimaginable things might have happened, but based on Cattleya's current understanding of her navigator, it was difficult for her to imagine what kind of thing That's why the sailing elder friend from the outskirts of "Elemental Dawn" is so ambiguous.

Otorov took out a few paper clips from his jacket pocket and handed them over hesitantly.

Cattleya took the paper, pushed her glasses habitually, and glanced at the first line.

Her expression suddenly froze.

"The wreckage of the flagship 'Dawn' was found offshore the day before yesterday, and no one survived..."

"'Queen of Mysteries' is confirmed dead, and no one has come to claim the bounty for the time being, only the 'Three Kings and Six Generals' are left in the five seas!"

The aged bosun looked around uneasily, and at last he took off his hat and held it to his chest in silence.

"I don't believe it... I don't believe it, I don't believe it!" Cattleya immediately showed fierce resistance after a short period of loss of consciousness and stiffness, "How could Her Majesty be killed by someone?! I'm going to Rasha! Let the 'Future' set sail immediately, I'm going to Rasha!"

She stomped and ran to the captain's cabin, and Otorov quickly chased after her, dissuading her:
"Captain, we just came back from the ruins of God War, the crew needs to rest, we can't set sail immediately!"

"And Rasha is the secret stronghold of the organization! You can't just go there with such a big fanfare!"

Autolov grabbed Cattleya's sleeve and pulled the young girl back. He saw the shoulders of "Admiral Star" twitch, and the other hand kept shaking in the direction of the face, but There was never a single cry.

It seemed that a century had passed, and Cattleya's shoulders stopped shaking. She turned her back to Autorov, and said in a nasal voice:
"I see."

"Go continue to collect intelligence, collect... information about the 'Undead King'."

The navigator was a little puzzled, nodded and said: "Yes."

Cattleya waved her hand: "You go first, I want to go back and be quiet, and use mystic methods to confirm the authenticity of this matter."

Autolov sighed in his heart, put on his hat again, covered his graying hair, and turned around slowly to leave.

After walking a dozen steps, he looked back and saw the "Admiral of the Stars" wearing a purple wizard robe, still standing beside the dim oil lamp, alone and alone.

……

Edward was a little unbelievable: "So you just ran away?"

Agaritu and the "Death" in the small bottle both nodded honestly.

"..." Edward sighed, "Yes, although Bernadette has been dealt with first, but I didn't expect the 'Black Saint' to escape at this time. Klein staying with him means that he has been Incorporating the protection of the real creator, in this case the meaning of action has been lost, if you are discovered, my dear allies will realize that I have secretly attacked the mysterious candidate."

"It's impossible not to do it without doing it. Who can bear to kill the future Lord of Mysteries in the bud? It's not God who can bear it."

Edward was in a good mood, muttering: "Is there any new information at sea recently?"

"There are rumors that 'Vice Admiral Iceberg' Edwina is missing."

Edward picked up a piece of butter cookie, opened the lid of the "Wishing Lamp" and stuffed it in, then picked up a glass of cold tea beside him and poured it in, before asking, "Where did Klein go after that?"

He pressed the lid tightly, and Agaritu only saw the "Magic Wishing Lamp" vibrate slightly twice.

He replied truthfully: "The emotional seed on Klein was cleared, and the last place that appeared was a sea city. Cattleya will soon be cleared by Origin Castle in the Tarot Club, and I can track the others , but they are not important."

After hearing this, Edward said with emotion: "It's hard for you to remember the names and faces of so many people."

"If you want to fight, you can fight. Even if you don't fight, the little girl can't pose any threat to us. You can arrange it yourself."

Agaritu nodded, and then asked the question he was most concerned about:
"Is there Him on my boat?"

Edward held the ship in a bottle "Death" in his palm and rolled it a few times. The blue sea water in the bottle swayed left and right, and "Death" was also swaying in it. The crew members controlled by the "faceless puppet" were cleaning the deck and sorting out the debris.

"Have."

The devil looked at this exquisite handicraft and said, "It is true, but there was, at least when you circle around the ruins of God War, He is not there."

"After all, the writer is also a Sequence One. He should have come when you were wandering around the ruins of God's War. I'm afraid he was worried about what you found in the ruins of God's War. The doom on your body must have been written by Adam. Other than that Besides, He should have also discovered your 'immortality'."

"But it doesn't matter. At most, I can treat you as my descending container, not a real life. At least when I meet Bernadette, He should not be there, otherwise I should encounter some little trouble. "

Edward finished the "Death" and put it aside again, and asked: "I will take Bernadette's bounty, the power of the demigod is not enough. There is nothing else, by the way, you don't like it." Do you want some snacks and afternoon tea?"

Agaritu thought for a while: "There is no such column in the preferences in the character set. For the staple food, the preference is meat and offal, including humans, medium rare."

"Then I won't continue entertaining you. I'm trying the southern continent's special vegetable salad recently." Edward served tea to the guests, "You go."

The "Undead King" stood up quietly, and quickly left with the "Death Number".

498
Last Monday in April.

In the quiet hotel room, the dark and deep radio receiver instantly returned to normal, and the surrounding light was no longer gloomy.

Klein was busy preparing for the ceremony and sacrificed it above the gray mist before he was in the mood to think about the answer he had just obtained.

According to the clues provided by "Magic Mirror" Arrods, combined with the answers from Mr. Azik and "Snake of Destiny" Will Auceptin, Klein has a preliminary plan for the next stage.

That is not only because I want to take a short rest and return to Backlund, but to regard this metropolis as the main place of activity for a long time, to see if I can steal it from Saint Samuel Church of the Church of the Evernight Goddess. The notebook of the Antigonus family.

If it is determined that there is no way, then try to switch to a similar extraordinary path. If this is not enough, you have to take the last path to the main peak of the Hornages Mountain Range.

"Well... Back in Backlund, you definitely can't use the identity of Sherlock Moriarty openly, unless you want to catch Ince Zangwill or a certain faction of the royal family hiding in the dark. However, contacting acquaintances or When you use the resources of the Church of Steam, you can change back to Sherlock Moriarty."

"Speaking of which, is Edward Vaughan still missing? It's really hard to find an angel. I hope he won't appear in Backlund again." Klein drew a crimson moon devoutly on his heart.

"In short, you have to use a new identity again, and you have to be completely different from Gehrman Sparrow, uh, this time you don't go directly back to Pritz Harbor, but go around the Dixie Bay, so that people can check No source." Klein's thoughts turned, and he soon had a clear idea.

After initially confirming the direction, he originally wanted to extract blood and go above the gray mist to explore "Grossel's Travel Notes" with his spirit body, but considering that there would be a Tarot meeting in the afternoon, he lay back on the bed to rest and relax.

……

Kingdom of Loen, Disi County.

Amon held a newspaper and hot milk, dressed comfortably and casually, like an ordinary college student, standing in line on the side of the street waiting for the Dixie pie that is said to be the most delicious, the white water vapor in the air carried the flavor of the pie Sweet and fragrant.

Amon sniffed: "It seems a bit too sweet...but it's worth trying."

He bought the milk to go with it, and added a little sugar to it, but compared with the drinks on the market, it was not sweet.

The owner is an elderly woman, the waiter and cook seem to be her grandchildren, and there are family portraits of her on the wall.

Watching their busy scenes, the guests calmed down unconsciously.

A child ran by with a whistle for homing pigeons in his mouth, a girl bought a Dixie pie and left with her companions in anticipation and joy, a gentleman kept looking at his watch and looking at it again and again. Looking at the five people in front of me, they stomped their feet anxiously, and were reluctant to leave. There was also a "punisher" who hurried over and almost cursed when he saw so many people in front of him, but he still held back his impatience , arrogantly gave up the penultimate position to a little girl, and stood at the end of the line.

The crow stood on the tree by the river, the crow stood on the steeple of the church, and the crow watched everything in front of him.

He stood among the busy crowd in the early morning, not very interested in anything, and seemed to find everything fresh.

……

Southern Continent, Aldera.

On the demolished site of the old Governor's Mansion, the Spiritual Religion Mission built the Queen's Palace at an incredible speed, and the streets were re-decorated with the characteristics of the Balam Empire, and decorative paintings and notices declaring sovereignty were plastered all over the street. alley.The branch of the Zhongsonia Company here was smashed, and the foreigners who had no time to escape were repatriated or killed according to their positions. All kinds of actions declared that this place was no longer a colony of Loen.

In the depths of the palace, in front of the queen, Mirela knelt down on the ground, her forehead pressed tightly against the wool carpet.

He reported in a steady tone:
"...The artificial death party expressed support for us, and the chief priest Haitel showed goodwill and wanted to step up cooperation."

"But at the same time, Haitel also responded that the progress of the 'Artificial God of Death' will not stop. He, he said... Her Majesty's behavior is desperate, and absolute victory cannot be guaranteed. Therefore, he must serve the church of God of Death and Balam. The empire leaves other fires."

——In order to expand their influence, both factions are discussing fiercely whether to change their name back to "Death Church", which is a rare consensus.

But after they agreed, the "Pale Queen" rejected the proposal. She put pressure on the Artificial Death faction. If the two factions could not be combined into one, give up the stupid idea of ​​"artificial God" and stop blaspheming the great Death, Neither party may change their name.

Behind the gauze curtain, Shia Eggers was silent. Mirela didn't feel any anger or heavy atmosphere, so she continued:

"It is said that the state of High Priest Haitel, who was severely eroded in a ceremony to worship the 'Artificial Death', has not improved... Your Majesty, you..."

Silent as a statue, Sia Eggers thought. "Erosion", this word is very interesting. High Priest Haitel is an angel, and his status in the Spiritual Cult is second only to himself. Why would organizing a sacrifice to a false god be eroded?

How can "uniqueness" erode others?

It is impossible for uniqueness to erode the Extraordinary, only the difference between smooth and unsatisfactory accommodation!

Over the years, the Eggers royal family has determined that the other uniqueness and sequence one that the whole country has been unable to find must be hidden with the "death god's legacy", but they lack the ability to open this legacy the key.

This also directly led to the collapse of the Southern Continent without gods in the war of aggression, and reduced it to a sad people who were oppressed and humiliated. The Eggers royal family themselves became a government in exile, lingering for a hundred years before finally gaining a place.

No matter how lowly people are in the Northern Continent, there are people who can be oppressed, and that is the bottom-level people in the Southern Continent!

"It's okay."

Sia Eggers said calmly: "Heytel didn't ask us for help. He must have made all the preparations."

Haitel may not be the original Haitel anymore.

He used to be wise and rational, but now, as if he had been brainwashed, he crazily regarded false gods as the final salvation.

"Artificial Grim Reaper" - the true face is the uniqueness and sequence one of the "Ghost of Reaper" pathway, which has been activated during the years of prayers and sacrifices of the Grim Reaper Sect, and has become an existence equivalent to the "King of Angels of the Grim Reaper Pathway", severely injuring the sequence Second's Hytel is no surprise.

Strangely, why a consciousness activated by the "prayer for help" of the artificial death sect can actually hurt the seeker!
Unless the "Artificial Grim Reaper" thinks he is powerless to change, salvation is to let the believers die, but after hurting Hytel, the "Artificial Grim Reaper" becomes weirdly well-behaved and responds to prayers normally, as if it was just an accident before.

"Heiter can no longer be trusted", "the artificial Grim Reaper may not only be a simple activation of uniqueness", "if necessary, the entire artificial Grim Reaper faction can be abandoned", the "Pale Queen" did not say, and cannot say.

"The uniqueness is very likely to have been controlled by an angel or even...", this is the worst possibility, and it is very likely to be true.This possibility meant that Sia Eggers would not be able to fulfill her long-cherished wish. He was doomed to fail. It was impossible to drive the people from the Northern Continent out of the devastated Southern Continent, and it was impossible to regain the land, the country, and the people!
So what's the point of all these struggles now?

Sia Eggers said quietly, "If I fail..."

Mirella turned pale in shock, and hurriedly raised her head: "Please don't say such things!"

"Mirella, you are the longest and most loyal subject by my side. When the Balam Empire was still there, you were already my bodyguard. Only you and I know these words. After leaving this room , we must forget."

The "Pale Queen" didn't look at Mirella who hesitated to speak, she looked at a painting on the indoor wall, and said softly and steadily:

"After taking Aldera back, I still have the strength to spare. Soon, I will announce the restoration of the Balam Empire and the restoration of the Eggers royal family."

He was silent for two seconds: "Siuah is also preparing to seize the city and restore the country. He is willing to establish the first diplomatic relationship with our regime. I will let you be promoted to Sequence 3, become the spokesperson of the royal family, manage internal and external affairs, and amend the bill , let the people support us."

"Your adopted son has studied at Feysac's military academy and is an outstanding person. Find a way to bring him back." Shia Eggers said, "Tell him that if he is not satisfied with the policy of the Balam Empire, then come and change it." .”

Mirella hesitated for a moment: "Yes."

"Siuah said that if we follow the trend of the times, we will no longer be able to make profits, because there is no place for us in the future predetermined by the gods. Therefore, I will take the initiative to declare war, and the subsequent wars and victories will depend on our success." How far can you go?"

"Your Majesty the Queen..."

"Be careful of the man-made god of death, and don't ask Azik Eggers for help."

After the veil, Sia Eggers' expression remained unchanged: "He is our ancestor in name, but he never loved us."

"When the country was ruined and the family was destroyed, we prayed to him. When we were hungry and cold, we prayed to him. When I was young, I grew up listening to the myth of him and death. The royal family of Eggers waited for this ancestor for thousands of years. His denial and disgust."

"I don't understand what we did wrong. Maybe it's our original sin not growing up by His side, but it doesn't matter. The royal family and the Spiritual Order have survived for more than 200 years without Him, and I am no longer the princess who wants to listen to the story. gone."

"He won't help us, he will only ask why we don't submit, and even help us submit."

Mirella was silent for a long time, and finally lowered her head slowly, and once again pressed her head tightly against the carpet.

"Your will be obeyed," he said.

Sia Eggers said in that beautiful, but calm voice: "If I die in battle..."

"...Don't be sad, I just returned to the side of the emperor and the gods, fought the best battle, and finished everything I should do. As the last emperor, I fought to the end."

"My country will collapse again, but this time, the countries in the northern continent may be afraid while oppressing and hurting you, because there are still people who will resist on this land, at least during the period before the end, You might be better off."

They will be driven out... Mireira couldn't help thinking.

But for the believers of the god of death, death is not a terrible thing.

"Get up."

The warm sunlight fell indoors, and Shia Eggers finally took her eyes off the hanging painting.

"Go and conceive the content of the declaration of war."

I briefly skipped the Tarot Club, Grossel's travel notes this time, and when I was competing with my teammates for the manuscript of the second-generation difference machine, I planned to die in the orange light at Klein's gate.
