Chapter 24

"Bakerland is dead? He died in Loen and was assassinated by the Aurora Society?"

Intis, in a noble manor on the outskirts of Trier, an old butler with blond mottled hair was reporting to his master.The other party was a young man in his thirties, with sharp eyes, red hair and emerald green eyes that were the signature of the former royal Sauron family.But the hair color is too dark as red, more like reddish brown in the shade, obviously not the direct line.

"Just die, you're just an ambassador. Have you got the manuscript of the second-generation differential engine that the intelligence department wants?"

"No, it even exposed our purpose." The old butler bowed his body and replied respectfully, "Ambassador, no, the mission of the former ambassador failed completely. The family members in the intelligence department are discussing countermeasures, and finally they decided Leave this matter to your disposal."

"...If you want to die, minimize the loss. You are such a waste that you are still causing trouble even after you die."

The young man clicked his tongue: "Luen will give an official explanation, and they will investigate by themselves. Our people just need to put on a show, and it is a waste of time to avenge him. This should also be pushed to me. Haven't you regained the guts you were frightened by your father back then?"

"The hereditary title has been deprived, and more than half of the family property and manor have been given away by me. I have not planned to stimulate them by marrying a wife and having children for so many years. What do these guys want to squeeze out of me?"

"Lord Traynor, be careful." The old steward reminded, "The archbishop of the Church of the Eternal Sun wants you to visit in the afternoon because of this matter."

"...The church asked me to express my opinion? No way, wouldn't even such a trivial matter as the assassination of the ambassador by the Aurora Order be escalated into the grievances of the past?" Traynor wrinkled displeased Eyebrows, but they stretched again after a few seconds, "Alright, didn't the archbishop want to renovate the sculptures and pipe organs of the church recently, and take [-]% of the gold, spices and gems he got from Balam. Let's get through it first Joint, lest the family take this opportunity to embarrass me. Things that can be paid for with money are trivial things, and my biggest bargaining chip is the seat of the parliament, so I can't lose it."

"I am the war bishop of the Sauron family, not a member of the devil. The archbishop and the church just want to hear me say that. I won't take care of this matter. When the time comes, I will find a young man to investigate and deal with it casually."

"Okay." The old housekeeper said, "Master Ernst sent a secret report last night, hoping to get some winter material assistance."

"Winter? That guy needs material assistance all year round." Traynor waved his hand, turned around and looked at the garden outside the floor-to-ceiling window, "According to previous years' practice, importing cotton from Feysac through the purchase channel, The price should be kept as low as possible, and the insufficient quantity should be made up from the plantation.”

"That's it, help me pass the post to the archbishop. Since I want to express my opinion, I will be more active and visit this afternoon."

"Yes. Then I will help you decline the hunting activity in the afternoon and the invitation to the dance in the evening." The butler said, "Miss Elaine made an appointment to meet with you two weeks ago, and I will also decline it at two o'clock this afternoon. Is it?"

"Eileen?...Ah, it's her. I remember that she is one of the more unpopular branches in the collateral line, and she is about to inherit the family business and go into business." Traynor recalled this clever relative, "The first There are not many children who can call my great-great-grandfather in my face at the first meeting. For the sake of the same collateral, I also gave her a lot of investment in the early stage. Turn it down and lend me my amulet. She, she needs safety more than booing and asking for warmth."

"Yes. I will send Miss Elaine."

"There's nothing else to do," Trainor said. "Go make arrangements."

On Monday, Miss Bodyguard's employment ended.Klein, who had been in dire straits during this period, regained his freedom and relaxation.

Through Rosago's relic, the "world" dummy has been successfully deployed.When the Tarot Club started, several old members who saw newcomers joining showed obvious emotions. Miss "Justice" was a little curious, and analyzed the character traits of the new members with the state of the audience. Mr. "Sun" didn't have much reaction, he just looked away after two more glances. Body movements showed nervousness and defensiveness. He was observing and guessing the ability of the newcomer, testing whether it would affect him...

Klein took a look, first released the simple task "Looking for Lanerus", and then manipulated the dummy "World" to speak:
"Mr. Fool told me that missions and materials can be issued here, is that true?"

"Yes." Miss "Justice" said with a sense of ownership and reservedness, "But you must wait patiently. Next is the reading time exclusively for Mister Fool."

The "Fool" seemed to have an inscrutable laugh, and Mr. "The Hanged Man", who had been observing secretly, noticed that the god above him was looking at him, and quickly bowed humbly, saying: "This time it is a six-page diary , the last remaining page will be given to you next time."

Klein fetched the other party's figurative six-page diary and looked down:

"On February 5th, I had my third child, and I named him Bonova. I gave him the characteristics equivalent to a Sequence [-] Extraordinary, which lightened my burden and digested the potion faster , to speed up his promotion, and he is already an 'star magician' who can display all kinds of peculiarities when he was just born."

"Zaratul visited me secretly, and I asked him about the future of the children, but he refused to explain a single word! Really, the words of fortune-tellers are always so difficult to understand, I really want to pry open their mouths to ask clearly! "

"...It's hard for me to believe that my lovely, kind Bernadette who loves my younger brother, adores my father, and loves my mother will hate me, loathe me, and betray me in the future? No, Zaratul is not a prophet. His divination Don't believe it all, forget about it, Roselle!"

"..."

It seems to have a taste of bloody family theater... Klein complained while pondering the information in it, and turned the page thoughtfully:

"On May 22, Florent of the Sauron family actually asked me to be his subordinate! His attitude is simply unacceptable. I swear that in the future, he will definitely make him pay for what he did today."

"However, some of the things he mentioned were really interesting."

"The Sauron family has a history of more than 2000 years, which is earlier than the Artisan Church. The long history has given them not only arrogance, but also many secrets and sealed items. Look at the huge monster standing on the ground."

Along with Roselle cursing and thinking about the Sauron family and Florent, Klein happily flipped through the pages.

"August [-]th, that idiot Florent was showing off again."

"He said that he is the most promising person in the generation of the Sauron family to achieve high-sequence, because he is very similar to his great-great-grandfather. Is there any necessary connection? I look up and down, left and right, all of them I can't tell where this guy is talented. Besides, in the extraordinary field, is talent important?"

"The recent situation of the fellow has added a little happiness to me. He was taken a fancy to by a lady of the Sauron family, which made him very headache and didn't know how to deal with it. But that lady only has Sequence 6, and the Sauron family actually acquiesced in her behavior , could it be that you think you can win me over through fellow villagers?"

"Haha! If you want to fart, go for it!"

"However, the obstacles to the high-sequence mainly lie in the difficulty of obtaining Extraordinary materials and the trouble of corresponding rituals. Of course, it must be admitted that those born Extraordinary people have more time to prepare."

"Florant's great-great-grandfather was a high-sequence powerhouse? Does being like him mean talent?"

It seems that Emperor Roselle was quite young when he wrote these diaries, but I can roughly understand the meaning of "talented" in Florent's words... Klein nodded slightly.If this part of the content can still make him feel relaxed and freehand, then the hidden information in the diary later shocked him. Sequence 1 above 0, the location of the true God, the blasphemy cards that contain 22 pathways, the road to becoming a god...everything is incredible information that can change the extraordinary world pattern, and the system that is enough to make the church indestructible is fierce. Shocking news about the earthquake.

So, at the beginning, Emperor Roselle regretted not choosing "Seer", "Thief", and "Apprentice" because the true gods of these three paths had not yet been born?Roselle's conspiracy is bigger than I imagined...

After reading all the diaries, "The Fool" Klein calmed down a bit, and manipulated "The World" to join free trade and discussions.

Edward sat on a bench in the garden in the middle of the street, holding a newspaper in his hand, looking at the latest information in a daze, seemingly serious.

One is the establishment of the Air Pollution Committee. The Kingdom of Loen finally began to pay attention to environmental pollution. However, it is unknown how much this committee, which is composed of members of the Lower Parliament, some nobles, anthracite merchants, and people with certain social influence, can play.The second is about the recent serial murder case. The number of victims is still in the single digits. Neither the police nor the church have any clues. However, the other party’s undisguised killing behavior can clearly see the purpose of causing social panic.

Edward paid a little attention to this part, because the police and church are obviously not as easy to use as the aggregation of Extraordinary characteristics.

The third thing is that the Kingdom is preparing to pass the relevant regulations of the government employee examination. During this period, newspapers of all sizes are promoting this matter, and even Richard Ernst wrote a short message—Sacrifice, send Letters cost money and waste time - happy to mention this "benefit people" ordinance.Because some young people with excellent grades and education in the foundation finally have another path to choose from, and may have the opportunity to cross classes and have a better life and future.

Edward attacked him succinctly: "Why did the king rush to introduce policies? Is that all you see?"

Richard replied sincerely: "Even if the big people do these things just for themselves, it is a great thing for people."

Ok.The devil and outer god thought to himself, he was too lazy to attack the opponent further.The human mind is difficult to understand, and this purely human mind is even more difficult to understand.A little favor can satisfy him, and after so long, he is still as simple-minded and easy-going as before.

More than half a month has passed since the incident of the God's Fall, and the eyeliners in the Aurora Society should have passed back the information they deliberately revealed.The allies will go back to check the situation in the past two days to see if it is a good time to return, communicate with the main body by the way, and gradually transfer their power back to Sequence 7.I probably don't have to worry about the affairs of the Aurora Society anymore, and Edward is also happy to be at leisure.

It was midday, and the streets and parks were deserted.He took a sip of the packaged drink from the coffee shop, and suddenly heard a distinctive but very familiar prayer sound in his ears.

——The difference is that this points to the "decaying king".

"Rosell?" The former Earl of Intis Palace said to himself, "Called me again? It seems that he is in good spirits today."

He answered the "call".A dark, deep and dilapidated scene appeared in front of my eyes, and the interior of a huge building could be vaguely seen.He saw a black figure sitting on the throne, and an irregular stone tablet was placed by the emperor's hand, covered with distorted shadows and words.His body is covered with red slits, tearing and closing repeatedly like eyes or moon phases, and light blue flower branches penetrate the black shadows to bind him on the throne.The shadow looked dying and fragmented, but nonetheless, it gazed on the other side of the world with cold and majestic eyes.

——The unique "Dark Emperor" Russell Gustav!

The moment the eyes met, a frenzied voice with a strong sense of hatred was directly stuffed into Edward's thinking. Unlike ravings, this was a crazy curse from the extreme emotions of a true god!
"Crazy angels, cold-blooded demons!"

Edward did not resist, so the container's instinctive self-defense was defeated in an instant.boom!Half of His head exploded on the spot, and the split blood vessels and shattered eyeballs went their separate ways.The blood splattered for several meters, and the flowers and plants stained with the angel's blood immediately mutated into something strange and terrifying.After a few seconds, the veins that boiled to the point of exploding due to the Black Emperor's malicious spirit calmed down, and the whispers of resentment echoing in Edward's mind completely subsided.

"The country of my hometown has a tradition of burying loyal officials since ancient times. My dearest executioner, when will you come to accompany me in the grave?"

The flesh and blood squirmed, and he was not in a hurry to repair himself, and he didn't even loosen or tighten the hand holding the newspaper.

"Can't the relationship between us allow you to greet me in a softer way?" The Angel of the Abyss picked up the glasses that had fallen by his feet, wiped the blood on the plain lenses, and placed them on the remaining two glasses. On the bridge of one-third of the bloody nose, he smiled slightly at the black emperor who was still staring at him with indifferent and implied madness. With the only half of his head, he showed a set of neat white teeth.

"I like it very much." The container of the ruined king said, "Thank you."
