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

626
"The eternal blazing sun is dead. The real creator claims to be the ancient creator who was eaten by the gods in the creation myth. He seized the authority of the 'sun' and took control of Intis? The war between the night and the god of war in the Amanda Mountains ended with the night being attacked by the gods. Heavy damage, showing weakness to the Church of the Storm?"

"What are these things... Hehe, it's so interesting."

On a sunny beach in Dixie Bay, in the open-air dining area of ​​a cold drink shop, a young man in a strange dark robe and a classical wizard's pointed hat is flipping through a stack of newspapers in his hand, with an intriguing expression on his face smile.

Her clothes are out of tune with the current world, and there are people coming and going around her, but no one seems to notice.

Her eyes lingered on Intis's related reports for a long time, and while eating shaved ice, she seemed to be reading the contents carefully - some declarations about the Church of the Creator are nothing more than "do good deeds and go to heaven, do evil deeds and go to hell ", "Expressing the need of piety is not only prayer, worship and donations, but also small acts of kindness in daily life" and other interpretations of the Bible.

The major churches have some pages in their diocesan newspapers, and theologians and philosophers will also provide articles to the newspapers and discuss the holy scriptures and teachings of the gods with the church.Although the church has the final right of interpretation, others can still learn and research further through discussions.In this way, it can not only popularize science teachings and myths to the literate people in the country, but also achieve the effect of preaching to others.

However, due to the particularity of the teachings of the Creator Church, Intis's newspapers are difficult to obtain in other countries.

"O Bible...justified by miracles..."

The young man with a broad forehead and slightly curly black hair squeezed his crystal-like monocle with a smile, and slowly closed the newspaper.

"It's true that you will encounter some interesting things when you go out for a walk. Now, where should you go for a walk?"

A copper penny twirled between her fingers.

……

Backlund, noon.

Leonard picked up the book covering his face, and looked at Soest standing beside him in astonishment:
"From today onwards, we need to cooperate with the Church of the Storm's team? And we also need to cooperate with the military and the royal family on some special tasks? This? This..."

Since ancient times, the Church of Evernight and the Church of Storms have not interfered with each other, managed their parishes well, handed over whoever's believer had an accident, and acted equally and efficiently.Now it is the Church of Evernight's action to cooperate with the storm?Does that mean that even if something happens in the church of Evernight, the storm can get involved?How many words can you say about the problem storm of believers in the night?The "cooperation" between the churches is not as simple as inserting a "reader" in the storm team as a staff think tank, but that the church of the storm has the right to speak in the church of the night from now on!

And the other one is to cooperate with the military royal family during special missions, which is even more...

Leonard almost immediately thought of the Great Smog Incident. Besides, there are countless cases of aristocratic factions similar to the Capin incident. Capin is just a rich man, but he can make it so big and so big. Many, inseparable from the protection and platform of countless nobles behind.

When the royal family and the church were equal, the church would be obstructed after investigating the cases of the great nobles. If the royal family and the military could also have some say in the Church of Evernight, there would be an unspeakable and unthinkable number of cases among the nobles Will explode and the church has no independent investigation powers!

Usually he made fun of Sivelas Field, and teased that the police were restricted by the nobles and the church at the same time, but now he was going to become Sivelas Field!
"Captain Soest, this, is this..."

Leonard's mouth was so dry that he was almost unable to speak.

"People's beliefs are still equal." Soest sighed, and demonstrated a new prayer gesture on his chest, "And, the temple changed the goddess' prayer gesture from painting a red moon to a dotted star."

Leonard followed Soest twice in a daze.

"That's all." Soest sighed again, and the dangerous hairline seemed to have a tendency to move backward again, "Afterwards, remember to adjust your mentality in time and be mentally prepared... The church said this It’s a temporary expediency, but I don’t know how long this time will last.”

Leonard blankly watched Soest push the door away with a painful and silent back, and he didn't recover for a long time.

"...Old man, what is going on?"

He almost couldn't believe what he heard, and pointed the stars on his chest with his fingers jerky.

"Is this also a deal between the gods? Why did the Church of Evernight...concede so much at once?"

"I know that Ruen is at war with Feysac, and the battle in the Amanda Mountains is fierce, and the church has been attacked... This is because the church lost too much in the war, so the goddess had to let the church give up some benefits and status?"

Pales snorted humbly.

"Don't call me outside recently." Pallez said, "The deterrence of your church has declined, and I have a bad feeling."

...It means that the church's deterrence in the diocese is weakened, which may lead to some powerful people with other ideas sneaking into Backlund?The old man is worried about being discovered?Leonard understood something after a little thought, and nodded with a serious expression.

But his mood became more nervous because of this. Since the old man has said so, there is a high probability that unknown people and abnormal people will mix in, and their strength will not be too weak, and it may even be "them"—— This means that the church's security power should be further strengthened—no, in this case, it should be to seek help from the Church of Storms... This is a vicious circle. Although beliefs are still equal, when people who believe in the dark night see the storm When many believers appear in the Church of the Night, and the Nighthawks have to act as assistants, the believers will suffer a huge blow, and the Church of the Night will quickly lose its prestige...

Leonard pursed his lips and clenched his fists hesitantly.

He believed that most of the "punishers" of the Church of Storms would not be unreasonable, but he couldn't believe all of them.

This mood is very uncomfortable, and it can even be said to be a little sad.

Although Leonard thought that he had lost a lot of trust in the gods, the Church of Evernight still raised him, educated him, gave him a job, gave him friends and companions, and he lived for more than 20 years.He has no home, because his home is the Church of Evernight.

"All I can do is try my best to protect the people in the parish..."

He silently thought in his heart that he had never been so eager to get that Sequence 5 potion that he hadn't yet arranged for himself.

Queens, Hall family mansion, evening.

The atmosphere of the dinner was dull and uncomfortable. Earl Hall, who used to talk about current affairs and politics during the dinner, said nothing. Hibbert and his brows were tightly frowned. As women, Mrs. Hall and Audrey There is no chance to activate the atmosphere and speak.

This kind of family dinner made Audrey feel very uncomfortable. During this time, she has been exposed to more negative emotions than the sum of her life in the past ten years.

Negative emotions come from the tea parties and salons I participated in. The nobles who grew up together talked melancholy about the war. They will basically become officers and go to the front.If it is said that in the early days of the war, they still had the passion to protect the country, but after the news of the tragedy of Behrens and the battle in the Amanda Mountains, most people quickly changed their attitudes, becoming a little pessimistic and giving up on themselves.

Negative emotions come from the Loen Scholarship Foundation I participated in. There are not a few people who were disappointed and panicked when they learned of the arrival of the war just after getting the opportunity to study in college, but more people brought trivial negative emotions to Audrey. News—the price of bread has risen, and ordinary bread can be eaten in the past, but now it can only eat poor brown bread with cotton wool and wood residues, and many people have passed out due to malnutrition and hunger.The price of cotton cloth still did not drop, and I or my family lost their jobs because of this, with only a little tuition from the foundation to barely survive, and even had to drop out of school, with the tuition funded by the foundation and my family to find another livelihood.

Audrey wanted to help them, one pound, two pounds, ten pounds, but there were always so many people to help.

Not only are these students poor and miserable, but the people around them are equally poor and miserable.Students who have to leave with their tuition fees often have family members or even younger siblings to support. Audrey has the ability to support ten or even fifty people, but when there are more than a hundred people, it may be necessary to adjust the overall foundation of the foundation. When funding, Audrey also felt a little strenuous.

Because the subsidy of each noble is still the same, if Audrey wants to increase the amount given to all the subsidized by two pounds, she will lose a pair of new shoes every month, but this can only be done It is the lowest level of wheat bran bread that everyone can afford.

If everyone's subsidy amount is increased by 5 pounds, everyone can eat some normal bread and even a little meat, but Audrey's pocket money will be wiped out at least half.

"You don't need to do anything to them anymore, Audrey!" Hibbert could almost be said to be heartbroken, "They have nothing to do with you at all, it is enough for the foundation to feed them, you There is no need to lower your standard of living for this!"

Is it really unnecessary?

"Dear Audrey, you are really a little angel."

Her father and mother gently stroked her hair, but they were also not supportive of her behavior:
"We know you are such a kind girl, but we don't need to give so much to people we don't know. Even if they are good people, they can remember your help in the future, but they can give you back How much is it worth? Dear Audrey, you participate in the foundation to accumulate your contacts and reputation, not to really sacrifice everything for the common people..."

But I haven't given everything yet... I just ate one less afternoon tea snack and bought one less handbag for the tea party...

Audrey cut the steak on the plate with a knife and fork, estimating the price of this piece of beef for the Hall family.She has almost developed an occupational disease now, and she has to think about the price of everything she sees, and how much help it can provide to the foundation in conversion.

The only consolation she has now is Susie. After receiving excessive negative emotions, talking to Susie and treating each other can effectively improve her mood.In addition, her new pen pal is also an outstanding woman with sufficient work experience in foundations and charity industries, who can provide her with a lot of comfort and experience.

"The king seems to be preparing to mobilize more troops to resist the Feysac Empire..."

The dinner was almost halfway through, and Earl Hall finally said his first words, but Hibbert hadn't responded when a few exclamations suddenly came from outside the door.

What happened?
Hibbert stood up immediately, and subconsciously touched his waist with his fingers, while Audrey showed a frightened expression, even though neither her spiritual omen nor Susie outside the door had any bad news.

The dinner and the conversation were interrupted. Hibbert and Earl Hall walked out, followed by Audrey and Mrs. Hall. They pushed open the door of the dining room, and were about to ask the maids who made voices when they suddenly stopped. Eyes widened one after another.

"The moon! The moon it--!
"

There was a small-scale commotion outside the restaurant. Audrey covered her mouth with her hand as she watched the moonlight projected in from the window in the corridor.

The crimson moonlight became lighter and lighter, until finally the red color disappeared completely, and the pure white silver light fell on the earth.

……

160 Boklund Street, evening.

Klein was sitting in the carriage, flipping through the newspaper, recalling the courtship of various nobles and businessmen to him and some views on the war during this week's gathering, while typing the report in his heart, thinking about how to Make reporting these things as easy as possible.

During this period, he participated in several fundraising ceremonies for the upper class, but except for those families with juniors who fought on the front line, everyone else was somewhat hesitant, and some people even secretly asked him "Dawn Dantès How much power does Mr. have in the Southern Continent? Can we let our family go to the Southern Continent to be a normal rich man?" Or "Mr. Dantès, can you grasp the more specific current situation of the Southern Continent? Which cities are still in the Northern Continent Under the control of China, or which cities have good intentions towards the Northern Continent? Can the family property be transferred there safely?"... There are many, many, many, and in these chaotic and disturbing conversations, Klein once again deeply expressed Feel the coming of war.

Not through the worsening living conditions of the people, not through the currency system with violent exchange rate fluctuations, but through the aristocracy.

Since the Fifth Epoch, apart from a few wars, peace has been maintained for most of the time. Nobles from various countries have frequently intermarried, and most of the people are relatives by marriage.This gave the nobles a way out, and they could choose to retreat to various countries in the North Continent for refuge.

Most of the people who came to inquire about Klein were rich men with only wealth, or ordinary minor nobles.

They have no power or in-laws in other countries, so they can only choose the "less safe" Southern Continent through Dwayne Dantès.

In fact, according to the current status of the real Creator, as an envoy of the Aurora Society, he can definitely have a lot of voice in Intis. If I disclose my identity, there is no telling how many people will be more enthusiastic about me, seek my help, and even take the initiative to help me hide my identity...

Just like Capin back then... he was just a rich man, not even as good as the current Dwayne Dantès.And my identity will rise rapidly, as long as I am not discovered by the royal family and the church, I can almost have considerable power among the middle and lower nobles...

Klein turned the newspaper back a page and sighed.

War.

He scanned the page casually, looking for useful information, and suddenly frowned, staring at the head of the page.

After reading carefully for a while, Klein took a breath of air:
"Why did the Church of Evernight make so many concessions to the Church of Storms? Cooperate with the 'Punisher', and even cooperate with the royal military!"

"What happened to the Church of Evernight? Was the goddess injured in the war? There was also a modification of prayer gestures..."

As a wealthy man whose apparent belief is the Evernight Goddess, Klein acted according to the picture in the newspaper in doubt.In fact, there is nothing to be concerned about the gesture change, but the reason for the gesture change is worth thinking about.

"After the death of the Eternal Blazing Sun, the Church of the True Creator naturally renewed the prayer gesture...it is the right cross."

Reminiscent of this fellow's unremitting imitation of God from the legendary Age of Glory to the present, Klein is not too surprised: "The goddess' prayer gesture is no longer the red moon? The goddess' prayer can also be omitted from now on." The name 'Lord of Crimson'? The goddess no longer has anything to do with 'Red Moon'?"

"The goddess was severely injured and lost the authority of the 'Red Moon', so she took the initiative to give up her interests to preserve the church? This is understandable."

Klein makes associations again:
"Worship of the Red Moon by the Rose School and Primitive Moon Believers... In the "Book of Secrets", Karaman, the 'Wizard King', also mentioned that it is the moon itself that is worshiped, not the Evernight Goddess...because the Goddess is actually...originally related to the Red Moon. The moon doesn't matter? The goddess symbolizes the night sky and the stars?"

Just like the change of authority of the "sun"?Klein felt that his thinking was very reasonable, so he turned his attention to the possible way to control the "moon"—"Crimson Moon Crown? This is a Beyonder item that is obviously related to the Red Moon, but it belongs to the Which path is still unclear, and it is not known that this is a sealed item corresponding to the sequence number..."

In the absence of information, Klein simply thought of:

"Who does the 'Red Moon' belong to now?"

Before Klein could start thinking, the carriage stopped suddenly.

Hitting the parade?Why doesn't the coachman change his own way?Klein immediately turned his head and stretched out his hand to lift the curtain of the carriage. Just as he was about to speak, his expression froze suddenly.

The outside world was actually a silvery white, so much so that Klein had the illusion of "it's snowing".

Countless people stood on the road, looking up at the sky blankly, as if they had all turned into secret puppets in an instant.

Panic and uneasiness spread in everyone's heart. Klein was stunned. He suddenly came back to his senses, opened the car door and jumped to the ground.

The silver moon wheel hangs high in the sky, as if he has no interest in everything in the world, and it seems that it has been like this since ancient times.

……

Intis, the top of the Bright Cathedral.

The fallen king held a sphere emitting soft red light in his hands. The scattered red moonlight dyed the ground of the terrace where she was standing red, while the silver moon in the sky cast soft light on everything on the ground. A coat of silver.

At this moment, the negative power from the moon has been weakened to the extreme. Although there is still a layer of red on the edge of the moonlight, it is harmless.

"Moonlight is like frost on the ground."

The voice of the real creator came from the other side, and she also looked up at the silver moon in the sky, her tone neither sad nor happy.

"Have you seen enough?"

"Never seen enough."

"In another 24 seconds, 23 seconds." The Declining King didn't answer this sentence, "I will stop restraining the moon. I don't want to be hated by the fallen goddess because of your little wish. It's time to go to the Eastern Continent."

"It's time to go."

The true Creator stared at the moon in the sky, and did not give the outer god a look: "I will pay you too."

"You did it to improve your winning rate when facing the original will, otherwise you would have told me."

The Declining King has no expression on his face: "And now you tell me that only dreamers can dream of Sequence One. What's the use? Do I still want to give you Adam? I'm so glad that Adam came into my hands. If you use the Hanged Man and A visionary with the attitude of a true god with two pathways to jump into the sea of ​​chaos, you can jump off with your front foot and I can walk with your back foot."

"Since God is neutral, why don't you consider being a god?"

"There's nothing wrong with being God's obedience to God." Outer God shrugged, "But the price is freedom, and I can't lose my freedom."

"Ah."

"Ah."

"Heh." The True Creator said, "I'm not sure now, you can go."

"If you lose I will go," said the Decayed King. "Put Bethel in before I go."

In addition to the normal surprise and curiosity about the plot, readers go crazy every time a person dies, which is also a regular program of this book.
