Chapter 36

There was still about an hour before Russell passed away.

Not going to help him, Edward was the only one at ease in the simmering tension.This time the palace meeting was even more tense than before, and the terrified civil servants and guards ran back and forth beside him, deciphering the information and code words to inform their master.

Restless nobles would chat with him as if they were winning.How was the meeting, His Majesty and the messengers of the Church?Oh, of course we are loyal to His Majesty!Sir Earl, what is your opinion?
Edward responded leisurely one by one, taking in all the different attitudes: doubtful, reassuring, frightened, and nervous.Almost everyone couldn't calm down, for fear that they would make a wrong bet and lose everything.

Everyone is dedicated to their position, waiting for the second boot to hit the ground with their own concerns.This is the end of the Black Emperor. It's like a grand drama has finally reached its final scene. When it's time to sign the author's name for a mighty suicide note, everyone holds their breath and stretches their necks to wait. Appreciating how the glory fell, who would be willing to interrupt its process at this moment?

Of course Edward wouldn't do that, the king of decay had already bought a special seat.If He wanted to help, he could have done it as early as the night when he broke through the assassination plot of the remnants of the Sauron family and the Church of the Eternal Sun according to the revelation of spiritual intuition, and how did He do it at that time? "The surviving assassins nervously completed their plans and prepared to leave from the hidden passageway. But when they opened the door, they saw the smiling angel of the abyss. In an instant, everyone's blood turned cold." .

"You guys are only doing it now." The demon felt a little regretful, "I overestimated your courage and hatred, well, I wish you success."

The new week begins with the usual Tarot meeting.

When it was close to three o'clock in the afternoon, Klein floated into the gray mist and sat in the first seat, manifesting the dummy "world". Then he leaned back on the chair back in a rather leisurely mood, and tapped the long bronze table lightly with his fingers.

Looking back on what happened last night, if the murder of Lanwusi was an unplanned improvisation, then the encounter with the "Abyss Angel" was a pure accident, and it was an unexpected joy to get some mystical knowledge from this fellow senior .Klein somewhat understood the feelings of other members of the Tarot Society when they obtained "common sense" from him, and made up his mind to communicate more with his seniors in the future.Of course, you have to be mentally prepared that the angel has no interest in what you can give, loves to ignore it, or even gets angry...

After thinking about it, Klein's fingers on the table suddenly slowed down, his brows furrowed slightly.

"I was a little irritable last night..."

"In theory, even fellow villagers are strangers to me. There is no reason for me to let go of my guard so quickly and even ask him."

"Could it be the power of the 'demon' pathway?I can ask Little Sun later... But before I met him for the first time last night, I had seen him many times in Emperor Roselle's diary, and it is normal to have some initial liking for him.Coupled with the revenge of killing Lanwusi just now, my emotions will definitely lose control.Well, although I am a little bit cautious, it is still within the range I can understand, so I have to remember to be more careful next time. "

After replaying what happened yesterday, Klein nodded slightly, calmed down, and sent everyone the news that the party was about to start.

The new week begins with the sweeping out of the underachievers.

Edward left the residence and locked the door.The destination fluctuated between the Crag Club and the editorial office for a while, and finally decided to go to the Aurora Club.There was no particular reason, but the matter of Lanwusi ended in a strange way after all, and he had to go back and chat with his allies.

Go through the streets and alleys and descend to the wide underground building.Half of the Aurora Society's largest stronghold in Backlund is buried underground, and the shadows all over the place and the invisible environment can make Extraordinary people of the "Hanged Man" path feel comfortable.Walking slowly along the promenade, the left side leads to the dark and silent underground church. Today is not a Sunday, but believers are praying silently.The right side leads to the office, and at the end is the office of the Dark Saint—the Dark Saint originally belonged to mobile personnel, wandering around various strongholds, collecting information to support his companions, but because of the impact of the big event of the success of the divine descent, he now has to Resident in Backlund.

In the shadows, a door in front of him opened, and the candle flames floated out. This was a person holding a candlestick, obviously not a mystic who could thrive in the dark.She was talking to someone at the door, and before she could close the door, she saw Edward.

It's someone who knows me.Edward thought for a moment, the huge scar on this face is very recognizable: "East End?"

"Yes. Good afternoon, Your Highness Vaughan." Compared to the first meeting, Maria was obviously much more relaxed. She was not surprised to see the leader in the stronghold of the cooperative organization and reported in a very natural manner. , "Last time you asked me to investigate Kapin, I have already got preliminary results. When I traced the whereabouts of the missing female workers, I found that there were gang traffickers in troubled waters. I caught them and tortured them. They admitted that they were doing it for Kapin. service, and provided relatively strong evidence."

"well done."

Workers are missing. This is the second time I have heard this word within twelve hours. It seems that George III did not cover it up enough. As long as you pay attention and observe the people at the bottom for a long time, you can find it.Edward didn't remind her of his plan. Sooner or later, Richard Ernst would announce the reason for his disappearance within the Pilgrim Church: "Kapin is just a buoy on the water, sacrifice Kapin's soul to me, and then you can read Recite my honorable name."

Maria agreed.After they finished speaking, another person standing by the door stepped forward and saluted:
"Your Majesty, Your Highness." Mr. Z sincerely thanked him, "It was my negligence for the failure of the divine mission, and I let Lan Erwusi escape. I dragged you back in this event, and I still need you to replace me." I solved the mess after I escaped, and I am really ashamed to face the Lord and your high hopes."

Edward glanced at him: "God's failure was within His expectation, I just completed my part of the task. The one who should punish you is the Aurora Society. You don't come to me to apologize, and you are not allowed to talk about nothing like Mr. A." Seeing the Lord face to face while tearing off his own face."

Maria recalled bad memories and looked away in pain.

Mr. Z was very moved, and he said yes again and again. Edward didn't communicate with him too much, and he responded with a few perfunctory words before moving on.

Walk into the office of the dark saint at the end of the corridor, open the secret compartment, continue down the steps for tens of meters, and a relatively new wooden door appears in front of you.The traces of excavation on the surrounding stone walls are brand new, with edges and corners, and some stone dust falls down from time to time.Edward put his fingers together and knocked on the door, then pushed open the wooden door and entered the small underground stone house.

This is an underground space of about [-] square meters. The reliefs on the wall are brand new, and the brass candlesticks inserted in the wall are also brand new. In the middle and back stands the inverted cross giant that can be seen everywhere in the Aurora Society. , but a very comfortable-looking high-back chair inlaid with red velvet cushions.The reliefs are engraved with worshipers kneeling on their knees, some kneeling down to pray silently, and some stretching their arms forward.And the direction they were going was the high-backed chair on the third-floor stone platform.

Shadows flowed from the high-backed chair, and a scarlet eye rolled out of the shadows and rolled down the steps to Edward's feet.

"This is the simple temple that your believers built overnight?"

Edward looked at his eyeballs with a serious expression: "Ally, you can't always stay in this dark and humid place, you won't grow tall."

"...This container of mine hasn't reached the age to worry about not growing tall." From the high-back chair came a faintly uncomfortable voice. It was thick and dull, and it didn't match the face of the child who was only two or three years old. He didn't come to worship. The dark saint probably doesn't have the guts to look directly at his master, and the voice alone sounds very majestic and reliable.

The real creator sat casually on the chair: "What's the matter?"

"It's nothing. Didn't you entrust me to find your right-hand man before? I went to look for it, but I didn't find anything."

The shadowy demon servant moved a chair from nowhere, and Edward sat down: "I have to say, your subordinate named Medici is really alive and dead, and your history has been buried for more than 1000 years. Alright, "God of War" is nowhere to be found.I asked my servants to collect news about the high-ranking hunters everywhere. Among the messy rumors and stories, the only interesting thing is Binxi Island in the sea. "

"Oh?" The True Creator became a little interested, "Tell me."

"Pincy Island believes in the god of weather. I think there was a weather warlock here." Edward said unhurriedly, "If this is a backhand or a hint, it would be too obvious, and this island is in dozens of places. I was conquered by Loen years ago, and now I have converted to the Lord of Storms."

"You mean, Bincy Island may have something to do with the Medici, but not much?" The True Creator pondered for a while, "Indeed, He is not such a rash person, but I believe there must be hidden treasures in Bincy Island." Something else, maybe that's why he made the "weather god" so obvious there. "

Edward was noncommittal: "My students have plans to travel by sea at the end of the year, and I can help you go to Bincy Island to have a look at that time."

"Allies, you can give me too little information, and no one responds when you say your honorable name. Medici either has no spiritual marks left, or died in a corner where no one knows. I originally planned to I went to search for the abyss in [-], and after I was promoted, I went to fight Fabati to the death, but now I am held back by your commission, why don't you give me more rewards?"

The True Creator didn't answer.The purpose of making this entrustment was to deter him, and to distract him by the way, so as not to suddenly go crazy one day and kill his little clone in the cradle.Medici's death was inseparable from his divine avatar, but the other party refused to help him in this matter, and even mysteriously said that the time had not come.That countenance, that expression, the human face whose condition was improving day by day made his fist hard and hard, but in the end he still cared about the power gap and didn't punch out.

Really, why is Ouroreus still missing!When will the Angel of the Word find Him? !
The Angel of the Holy Word reported that this month, He will be able to turn the Land Abandoned by God upside down. If he has not been found by then, whether to let Him come back or stay in the Land Abandoned by God—well, that will be discussed at a later time.

"It seems that you can't make up your mind." Edward saw that he was thinking for a long time, and reminded him aloud, "It is also possible to give me 20 pounds directly. After all, the news of an angel has a price but no market."

£20?The Aurora Society’s operating capital for one year is almost the same amount... The real creator smiled desolately in his heart: "My commission is still to find him. If you can't find it, I will use other methods to confirm it. How? You can't find it even if you try your best, and I'll give you a reward as a help, if you find it back, I'll see if you need to increase it at that time."

"A help," Edward repeated.

"An angel-level help, I will not agree to it." The real creator does not give the devil a chance to take advantage of the loopholes, "and it can't be anti-human, you know what I mean."

"I understand, it's a good deal, and I earned it," Edward said, "I will make good use of your promise, and I will try my best to find someone for you."

The two continued to exchange information and informed each other about the internal situation of the organization.After more than ten minutes, Edward got up to leave.

After leaving the small underground temple and the Aurora Society, Edward stood on the street for a while.As his gaze drifted aimlessly, he noticed a person in a newspaper office uniform had pasted a poster on the wall, with a few flowing cursive characters on it, and pictures of some objects and furniture.

"Emperor Roselle's commemorative exhibition will be held on the 16th of this month!"

Hey, ahahahahaha, here comes an update~

Judging from the comments, everyone has been more or less entertained by me. Very good, I am very pleased to comment on Modo Modo.

I asked the editor, if you exceed the number of words on the shelves and haven't signed a contract, it will be free, so everyone can hurry up and prostitute for nothing.

At present, the word 14w is still more than two weeks away from 20w. I hope Shanghai can unblock it during this time...
