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

560
"Again, why did you see Siua and Baranka in the school? Is he dead?"

Richard jumped off the boat, and the dolls dressed as soldiers and businessmen stood up one after another, and entered Richard's suitcase in a row. The last doll to enter closed the box with its hand.

He lifted the suitcase and exhaled towards the sea. The surrounding fog immediately became thicker, covering the port and ships, and the curse of disorientation turned into fog and permeated the area.

Seeing that the "angel of temperance" directly called the leader by his name without adding any honorifics, Maihamus and Taufik did not dare to say anything.

It is generally felt in the "Rose School of Thought" that after correcting the acting method, the leader's brain seems to grow again, and it is obvious that this is a good thing - it can be seen from the fact that the strong support "Angel of Temperance" returned to the Rebels come out.Compared with the benefits brought by this, calling him by his first name is nothing, anyway, this is a matter between angels, and it is right to be a corporal of His Royal Highness Sierra.

Only half of the people in the school can barely accept the "indulgence-temperance-indulgence" acting method, and the rest who can't accept it, who still only indulge and do not try to set shackles for themselves, can only lose control. This is also the usual indulgence. What happens if you put too much.

In most secret organizations, a strange phenomenon is easy to appear—for example, in the aspect of advocating indulgent desires, often the bottom members and ordinary people who belong to the organization will obey these requirements and indulge completely, and need to manage their leaders Our brains are often not completely corroded by indulgence, at least some are left.

For example, the two demigods who were barely adapted to the new acting method in Richard's pocket had more than 50% of their remaining brains, and they received the precious temperance acting assistance from His Royal Highness "Angel of Temperance".

Even the Aurora Society is the same, they are crazy from top to bottom, but they are very clever to use madness as their own disguise.

McHams was still playing the mute, trying to get a little performance feedback from the Temperance Angel, so Taufik had to speak in his place:

"His Royal Highness Balanca is practicing penance."

"It seems that the adjustment of his acting method is not smooth, and it is also so old."

Richard left the port disapprovingly, entered the city of Aleser, and asked casually, "Mahamus, do you have the courage to become an angel? But you are not young, if you have, We have to work hard from now on.”

McHams: (°卌°)!

Before Maihamus could respond, Richard asked the next question:
"Has Hilda gone?"

Taufik has consciously become the spokesperson: "She set off yesterday, heading for Fusac."

"Oh, she doesn't even want to talk to me." Richard sighed, "It was indeed my problem to act in such a hurry and then leave, but if I don't rush to become an angel without the 'City of the Damned', I will become the leader of the school The first one died. I have explained it to her so many times, but she still seems to refuse to forgive me, as if she is still secretly stabbing my villain."

One hundred and three years ago, when the "Cursed City" incident just broke out, Taufik was only 5 years old, and he didn't know much about the inside story, so he looked at Mahms.But McHams seemed determined to play the mute seriously, without even moving an eyebrow.

But Richard's feeling didn't last long, he had already entered the city.

Compared with the past, Alase is quite lively. Most people on the street know that they have the blood of the Southern Continent, but their identities are not necessarily aboriginal.Because compared with Balam, who was destroyed by his firm resistance and established a puppet regime, the method used by the Northern Continent towards the Highland Kingdom was softer and more terrifying - intermarriage.

In the early days of the colonization of the Southern Continent, the Loen Kingdom prohibited intermarriage between natives and people from the Southern Continent. Once found, they would be exterminated. If they gave birth to a white-skinned child, they would be executed.If it is brown, it can continue to live as a slave.

The early colonization policy of the Loen Kingdom was relatively simple, "elimination directly from the body". It was not until the people who firmly believed in the God of Death and the Eggers royal family were almost dead, that they began to implement slavery and increase labor for factories and compradors.

"How many people in the school are still outside?"

Richard put Taufik and McHams back in his pocket, and asked spiritually: "It seems to me that many people have taken the opportunity to evade temperance performances under the banner of helping the Church of Death. Give me a list later."

There was no interlayer in the fanny pack, and the two demigods squeezed together side by side, and Taufik shrank back to the corner consciously.

He thought for a while and replied: "Zatvin is still on mission in the northern continent, should you call him back?"

"What is he doing there?"

"Uh... hunt down the remnants of the Temperance Faction, Reinette Tinekerr's students."

"Oh..." Richard nodded slightly, taking care of the business of the old man who was selling cakes by the side of the road, "Sharon."

But the highlands are different—the colonists ushered in by the highlands are Intis and Fusac.

In addition to smashing the dignity of the Highland Kingdom in terms of belief and culture, they also engaged in "racial purification".

To put it simply, it is to intermarry with local women, give birth to children, and use Northland school education and churches to convert their beliefs.Many low-level people from the Northern Continent with unsatisfactory lives came here to "help the barbarians in the Southern Continent to be civilized" in the form of marriage, and convert the indigenous women and their children into believers in the gods believed by their fathers, in this way to increase new life. believers, "spread the glory and grace of the seven gods".

The rough ones went door to door and robbed the daughters of the people.Softer ones, marry a local woman, live a Northland-style life,
Richard Ernst is just such a child, except that his father belongs to the former, and his mother happens to be a beautiful girl with "skin fair enough to be sent to the officer's camp", so he becomes a child with unknown military rank. Temporary wife of the "big shot".

temporary.As long as you have a two-room house, put a table, a chair, a board, and a girl you like, you have a temporary home and wife.

There can be many such wives and homes.

In this way, he had the face and height of a Feysac. Fortunately, his father was irresponsible and stingy in giving the belief of the noble God of War to the ignorant and weak indigenous women, and Feysac was also involved in the subsequent colonial battle Lost to Intis.

If the officer was lucky enough, he might be able to die in the "Cursed City" and see for himself what kind of big man his illegitimate son became.

And from a long-term perspective, such behavior is even more effective than Ruen's "destroying the flesh".

After several generations of reproduction, today's highlands—the highland survivors in the northern Intis colony of the Southern Continent basically have the blood of the Northern Continent people, and most of them have accepted a reality from the cultural aspect: that is, they have people from The father of the Northern Continent, and the mother of the Southern Continent, although their mother gave birth to them after being raped.

This also led to an abnormal fragmentation of culture in the highlands, with extremely poor cohesion.

Some people follow in the footsteps of the "Rose School of Thought", and some people hope to go to the sea to worship the Seven Gods, but more people are in a state of carelessness, no matter what happens in the world outside the colony, it has nothing to do with them.

Coupled with the cleanliness of the "temperance faction", the leaders of the "indulgence faction" who still have brains often look at the Church of Death and sigh: "If only we had such a cohesive force, such a clear hatred, and such an emperor."

There was hatred, but because the cohesion of the organization was too poor, it began to split itself before all was lost.Coupled with the fact that the leaders on both sides were not very smart, the "angels of temperance" who could really pose a threat to the church were forced to leave early.For various reasons, the survivors of the Highland Kingdom can only linger in various places as hopeless rebels, gradually being swallowed up by indulgence and hatred, and becoming terrorists.

There were gang fights on the street ahead, Richard took a bite of a pancake stuffed with cheese, and glanced at the gangsters.

A large group of people who seemed to have a blood feud in the last second suddenly became respectful and praised each other's relatives. The slaps turned into helping each other tidy up their collars, and the punches started to beat others' backs. Their quality is so high Even civilized people would be ashamed to see it.

Finally, these people bid farewell to each other and parted reluctantly.

The law and order in the Intis colony is not very good, and the turmoil in the southern continent has also brought many people from the northern continent and refugees here, but Richard's extremely intimidating height (192) can make troublesome people with long legs stay away automatically.

"Sharon, what news do they have?"

"There is no news... They killed Steven of Sequence 5 in one go last year, as well as a werewolf and a living corpse. Zatwin brought so many people there, but the mission was not completed, and he was unwilling to come back just like that. "

The sunk costs are too high.

It's all like this, if the mission fails in the end, it would be a little rude.

Richard pursed his lips. He just wanted to scold Siua for being such a mindless thing and wasting time on meaningless things other than "intimidating the temperance remnants". The "Mother Tree of Desire" is just like his good son. Limited brain capacity can only think about the matter of "fighting temperance".Then he thought about asking Zatwin to stalk Sharon, it was the past Siya, not the present, so he restrainedly swallowed back the Highland Kingdom populism that came to his lips.

"It doesn't make any sense to keep guarding there and catch Sharon. Reinette Tinekerr is already dead, and his student is only a Sequence 5. The temperance faction doesn't accept her, and it doesn't matter whether she lives or dies." Too much impact."

Richard decided that the trash (not Zatwin) would take advantage of it, and by the way, he would also give this poor commander a chance to make up for his mistakes and step down, lest he really confront Sharon.If the lingering Reinette Tinekerr suddenly pops up and promotes Sharon, then Zatwin will also become a sunk cost. The rose school of thought's whole set of 7-4 potions is enough for Sharon His follower, Maric, has become a demigod.

"You mean Zatwin back?"

"Let's put Sharon's affairs aside for now, and don't waste time on irrelevant things. Let him read more newspapers and collect information on the Northern Continent... By the way, is he running a stronghold there? Then by the way Try to contact the organizations in the Northern Continent, except for the Aurora Society and the Jagged Cross Society, to see if you can trick a few wealthy collectors or officials to come and buy things... If the money comes, the goods will be bought.”

"……OK."

……

Backlund, Jorwood District, near the Tussock River.

In a restaurant, a middle-aged man is eating, cutting a medium-rare steak with a knife and fork.

He was wearing a black clergyman's robe, with a black glove on his left palm. His face was thin, his skin was brownish, his eyes were sunken like a corpse, and the roots of his dotted beard were black and white, spreading from both sides of his mouth to his ears. side.

Zatwin's eyes were light brown, which was close to his skin tone. They clearly had the temperament of a priest, but they were cold and frightening, as if they would pervert in silence.

In other words, this is the feeling given to most Extraordinary people in the Rose School of Thought.

Even if a new acting method is used now, it can only temporarily turn "abnormal" into "a neuropathy with a sudden shock".

The first floor is mainly lit with candles and gas wall lamps, creating a dark and quiet area.

The smell of food floats from various places and permeates the air - the houses in the nearby streets are all connected by row, and the ground floor facing the street is a shop. This contact point of the Rose School of Thought is a restaurant on the surface, which focuses on the characteristics of the Southern Continent.

Just then, a customer came in at the door of the restaurant.

The customer had a black suit, black trousers and black leather shoes, a pair of black eyes and a thin face.

He had a broad forehead, a monocle and a tall top hat, and his eyes flicked randomly, falling on Zatwin.

Glancing at the black glove on Zatvin's left palm, the customer's mouth curled up slightly, and he shook his head with a smile, as if he was a little disappointed.

Then he entered the dining room and sat at another table far away from Zatwin, who returned with a malicious stare.

Zatwin didn't pay much attention and continued with his dinner.

In the light of gas street lamps, and the cool night breeze blowing over, the demigod of the Rose School of thought suddenly shuddered.

Zatvin knew that this was a sign of inspiration, and his heart tightened. He quickly looked down at his hands, and was surprised to find that the black glove on his left palm was gone!

gone!
As a half-god and half-human existence, Zatwin didn't know when the sealed item he was wearing disappeared!

He turned around suddenly, looked into the restaurant, and the image of the man just now appeared in his mind.

Soon, he locked on to the target's aura, found that the target was still in the restaurant, and even greeted the waiter to ask for a menu.

Zatwin originally wanted to "mirror flash" directly and possess him, but for some reason, his hands trembled involuntarily, and he vaguely felt that there were dangerous, terrifying and hard-to-find enemies hiding around him one after another!
The thought flashed by like lightning, and then disappeared like lightning. Zatwin subconsciously squeezed the cutlery tightly, put more strength into his hands, and cut the hard food container in half with a blunt knife that was hard to cut even with fingers.

Then, he lowered his head and ate the steak bite by bite, as if nothing had happened just now.

561
No. 22 Pacefield Street, the headquarters of the "Luen Charity and Student Fund".

Klein stepped out of the reception room, just in time to see Audrey the Justice coming out of his office.

The skirt this noble lady is wearing today is relatively simple, with a white base and dark green embellishments. The cuffs and collar are mainly ruffles. There are only bow-tie flowers interlaced with layers of lace on the chest, and she doesn't even wear jewelry.

"Good morning, Miss Audrey." Klein made an expression of surprise when he met him by chance.

Audrey looked at Dwayne Dantès, who was in good shape with gray sideburns, and responded with a smile:

"Good morning, Monsieur Dantès."

She wanted to say "Long time no see" briskly, to make fun of the fact that the other party hadn't come to the Charity Fund for a few days since the establishment ceremony, but considering that the superficial relationship between the two could only be regarded as acquaintances, He forcibly held back the corresponding words.

Klein rubbed his forehead, smiled wryly and shook his head, saying:

"I'm sorry I didn't come here until today."

"I've been really busy recently. It is foreseeable that I will be even busier next time. I may have to go to the Southern Continent to deal with certain things."

The reason why he made a special trip to tell Miss Justice that he was going to leave Backlund for a period of time was to show his sincerity, and hoped that this noble girl could help keep the Foundation in check and make it run normally—for Klein He said that he sincerely hoped that this "charity student fund" could help more poor people in need.

And he—it seems that Amon has come to Backlund, and currently Amon has only one good impression on him.

The one who appeared now has started to steal the sealed items, and seems to be a difficult person to get along with. In order to prevent "Origin Castle" from being stolen before Ince Zangwill's death, he is going to find a reason to run away.

"To the Southern Continent?" Audrey understood Dwayne Dantès' sincerity, and asked back with a little astonishment.

Klein smiled and said, "For a commission."

At this moment, the first thought that came to Audrey's mind was: Which Sequence 5 is going to lose his life?

Sensing that Miss Justice seemed to have made a bad association, Klein added another sentence:
"We have cooperated with the nobles and helped them deliver some items to the juniors fighting on the front line."

Sending items to the younger generations of nobles?what--!Audrey was taken aback, her emotions suddenly jumped a lot, and she said with a clear smile:
"May the Goddess bless you all the best."

After habitually saying this sentence, she noticed the incongruity, and she actually said to a benefactor of Mister Fool, may the goddess bless him!
This is probably closer to a curse... Will Mr. Gehrman Sparrow be angry?No, he is actually a gentle person, and I did not harbor any malice just now... This time I went to the Southern Continent and came back again, the one who plays Dawn Dantès should be another favored person, right?Could it be a demigod?Audrey's thoughts spread unconsciously.

Besides Lord Hibbert, Earl Hall seems to have another son, which means that Miss Audrey's other brother may also be in the Southern Continent?Klein smiled helplessly, and also skillfully drew the crimson moon on his chest:

"May the Goddess bless us."

After exchanging pleasantries with Miss Justice for a while, Klein went back to have lunch.

According to the plan, he will go to the "East Balam Veterans Club" in the afternoon to settle this matter and visit Dr. Allen.

During the usual post-meal nap time, Klein drew a symbol for summoning Arrods, the "Magic Mirror", on the full-length mirror in the bedroom. Soon, the water on the mirror floated, and a line of pale essays appeared:
"Great and respected supreme master! Your loyal and humble servant Arrodes has come at your call. (**)"

"Dear master, how are you feeling today? (o▽)o"

The corners of Klein's mouth turned up slightly: "Not bad."

"Your humble servant, Arrodes, thank you for your answer! May I ask you to summon me this time, do you have something to teach me? (UU)"

"Yes." Klein said, "Is Ms. D trustworthy?"

The light on the mirror quickly condensed into a new line of text: "She is trustworthy, but if you can use me as a guide, I will be able to do ten thousand times better than her! (=ω｀=)"

Under the text, the mirror surface fluctuated like water, and a picture appeared: Ms. D, who was dressed in a lot of plain clothes and wore a wide-brimmed hat, appeared in a port in the style of the Southern Continent.

Klein pondered for a few seconds, then asked again: "What is Ms. D's real identity?"

The silver text twisted and turned into a few lines of concise character introduction:

"Irena Albert Montemar. The youngest daughter of the Marquess of Intiscape, she has two older brothers. Besides her, the Marquis of Capet has three illegitimate children and two illegitimate daughters. She is 22 years old this year, 12 When I was young, I established contact with the Aurora Society due to an extraordinary event, and converted to the 'Ancient Sun God'. I am married to the second son of the Marquis of Lefell, and will be married in March next year."

The picture below is also distorted, and a huge family portrait appears. It seems that the faces of the father, mother and brothers are all blurred. Only the face of this bright lady is clear. She is wearing an exaggerated and gorgeous dress. It looked smaller than what Klein saw.

Has a marriage contract, is it because he is dissatisfied with the political marriage and wants to become a demigod before getting married?Belief in the "ancient sun god" in the Aurora Society is very creative, "I just want to believe in the sun god, it doesn't matter which sun god is?"... and her spirit is normal, there is no sign of going crazy due to the ravings, and there is no sign of going crazy with her. The "Saint of Black" is also schizophrenic, and this lady is not simple... Klein immediately thought of many things in his mind, but he didn't pay much attention to these things. Since the other party is trustworthy, there is no need Pay more attention to other details.

他 说:

"It's your turn to ask me questions."

"Okay! Great master, what else do you want to order? (▽*)"

Really conscious... The corners of Klein's mouth curled up again, and he said:
"The clues of the Sun God Bird and the Holy Shining Stone should not be controlled by the Church of the Eternal Blazing Sun."

"Honorable master, you, you are so considerate of the humble Arrods!! (Д｀) The seal of the Eternal Sun Church is very tight, and it is difficult for me to spy on it, but there are many clues from the outside world. And they often appear together , In the sea area of ​​the ruins of God War, there are traces of the sun god bird's activities in the following places. In the depths of a virgin forest in the southern continent, there is also the habitat of the sun god bird, and... At the same time, the sun god bird's activity range is 1000 meters Minai, there must be a sacred glow stone!"

The pictures in the mirror kept appearing, including islands full of light, ancient forests with a strong sacred atmosphere, and remote mountain peaks that didn't attract attention. Klein recorded these information one by one.

He still remembered when he hired Miss Sharon to be his bodyguard, because he would be in danger, Miss Sharon of Sequence 5 quoted a salary of 5 pounds for three days, but that was an ultra-low price caused by many factors.If he hires Ms. D, who is also a Sequence 4, for about a week, it will cost at least ten thousand pounds, but Ms. D's request is only the clues and materials of the main materials of Sequence [-]. It is a big business, only for promotion, not money Take it to heart...

Compared with virgin forests and mountain peaks, the most convenient way is to go to the ruins of God War to obtain them.

Hey, isn't the "Hermit" worrying about how to get a drop of blood from the "Snake of Destiny"?It's better to outsource this task. In this way, Ms. "Hermit" will get these two materials. I will give the materials to Ms. D. Ms. D will make up the difference and give me what "Mercury Snake" may need. I will help "Hidden" "Madam" gets the blood of this mythical creature, and everyone can get what they want!
I feel that the feasibility is very high, and I will go to Origin Castle to divination the success rate later!

Before Arrodes said he could ask questions, he said directly:

"In the Southern Continent, can I still contact you?"

"Of course! As long as you take out that magical telegraph." On the surface of the mirror, the silver words quickly reorganized, "However, you can't let it stay in reality for too long, or use it too frequently. There are many gifts from the 'Mother Tree of Desire', and He may use this to sense. (;д｀)ゞ”

Klein nodded slightly, and asked along the way:

"What do you know about 'Mother Tree of Desire'?"

"Magic Mirror" Arrods fell silent, and it took a long time before the silver traces of light on the mirror squirmed into a complete sentence:

"I dare not say it, and I dare not show it."

Dare not say, and dare not show, is the "Mother Tree of Desire" the true God?His personality is higher than that of Zaratul in Sequence One, and the uniqueness of the "fate" path... Klein was a little surprised, but he was also mentally prepared.

……

In the evening, inside the East Balam Veterans Club.

Calvin, who had a donkey face, was already waiting there. When he saw Dwayne Dantès coming, he stood up with a smile and said:
"You're such a gentleman with action. I really appreciate that attitude."

As he spoke, he stretched out his right hand and shook Dwayne Dantès with gray sideburns.

Klein smiled modestly, deliberately showing the appearance of organizing words, and waited for a few seconds before saying:

"I want to go to the Southern Continent soon, to West Balam."

Calvin's smile became more and more satisfied: "After dinner tomorrow, I will send someone to pick you up. The military just happens to have an airship to transport supplies and personnel to Disi Bay, and from there it is very close to take a boat to the Southern Continent. "

"Thank you." Klein stood up and saluted sincerely.

It actually took an airship to reach Disi Bay, which means that the voyage can be reduced by another two or three days.He doesn't need Ms. D's company when he comes back. If she agrees, her disappearance time will be shortened to about a week, which is acceptable for noble Intis.

And in his opinion, leaving Backlund with the military is an option that is safe enough and will not be suspected by anyone.

After chatting about some details, Klein got up to say goodbye, and returned to the hall with Councilman Macht, preparing to leave.

In the hall, next to the buffet table, nearly ten men in military uniforms or casual clothes were holding a glass of wine, gathered there, and laughed and talked about the latest rumors.

Klein glanced over and suddenly felt that one of the figures was a little familiar.

The man was over 1 meters tall, but less than 85 meters tall. His arms were slightly longer, his legs were tilted outwards to a certain extent, and his shoulders were unusually wide and thick, making the black suit look tight.

This is... Klein's thoughts suddenly turned tense, and he remembered the source of the familiarity:

This is the demigod who met "Mad Captain" Connors that night!
The demigod who seems to be working for a certain faction of the royal family and leading human trafficking!
……

Southern Continent, Port Behrens.

In a luxuriously decorated room, a hand reached out to light up the gas wall lamp in the room.

A soft dim yellow light came on, illuminating a figure standing in front of the desk.

The figure has a rectangular face, with a white hair cover on his head, two slightly upturned beards around his mouth, thick eyebrows, and a classical dress.Wearing a gown with extremely long toes, he seemed to be someone who came out of a [-]th-century oil painting or playing cards.

He reached out and opened the unremarkable black wooden box on the table. The red velvet decorated inside was inlaid with a gold lamp on a black background, drawing ancient characters like snakes and birds.The pattern is somewhat similar to Dutan, the official language used by the Balam Empire, but it is very different.

The person with the same playing cards spoke:
"Where did you get this thing?"

Blonde major general Konstantin Leavitt, who stood in the shadows, bowed his head: "From Qatami's treasury, he sold this artifact to the local garrison, hoping to get some goodwill. But he is dead now. "

"How did you die?"

"It is said that it was because of the sale of this important ancient relic. His behavior aroused the anger of the Church of Death, so he was killed on his own territory." Constantine said, "All his subordinates were retaliated by the Church of Death Sexual means killed."

"That is to say, the source is broken."

"Yes, my lord prince."

The demigod of the Augustus royal family, Prince Grove, scratched the shell of the lamp with his fingers, and suddenly exerted a slight force on his fingers, but the lamp was not twisted and damaged, and even the black primer and golden text on it were not scratched off.

"Then, how did it get to you?"

Constantine replied truthfully: "The local garrison officer gave it to me. I was defeated at the Battle of the Plains. After retreating, I accidentally made a wish 'let everyone appear in the port of Behrens at once', and the wish came true. .”

"Is that officer still alive?"

"Yes."

Prince Grove turned his back to Constantine and covered the lamp with his palm.The light and shadow in the palm distorted, and under the strong interference of a demigod, the black primer on the top finally wrinkled slightly, revealing the pure gold real body below, which depicts countless complicated mystic symbols.

It really is... the legendary "Magic Lamp of Wishing", 0-05!

It was actually disguised as a royal relic and kept in the hands of Balam's natives. No wonder the church has been unable to find it...

The prince's eyebrows moved, and there was a hint of happiness in the serious voice:
"I will remember your credit."

"You have found something truly precious for the kingdom."

560—"A Study on the Influence and Current Situation of Different Colonial Schemes on the Culture of the Southern Continent"

Q: Why does the author like Dazhang so much.

A: Because I couldn't think of two titles.
