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

715
"The East Continent's honorific name for Frank has changed from a saint to an angel. How could I have such a dream?"

Above Origin Castle, Klein rubbed his nose, listened to the prayers of Moon City and Silver City, and comforted himself profusely with sweat:

"Well, in fact, an angel is just an ordinary honorific. It is a normal compliment to praise others as an angel... It seems that the situation in Moon City has recovered well. Their strength is relatively intact, and their population is larger than that of Silver City. They sent a batch of purification, uh, purification mushrooms to help them get rid of the mutations in their bodies..."

Klein realized with grief that Frank was completely monopolized in terms of technology, and there was no extraordinary item that could compare to this harmless and dangerous group purification drug. He had no choice but to recognize the reality and give up thinking:
"When the collective mutation in Moon City is lessened, I will let them go to the dark depths to search for other city-states... The distance between the two cities is a bit far, and there are unknown dangers in the middle. It is estimated that they are unlikely to meet each other for a while. , let’s develop in their respective regions first.”

"I don't have the ability to go to the Eastern Continent to bring them out now. If they find all the survivors in the Land Abandoned by God, they can find a way to come out... Where is the way to leave the Land Abandoned by God? Really The Creator didn't tell me, probably because he thought I could find it. 'Sun' said that the chief suspect's way out is in the Giant King's Court, um, I'll figure it out according to the situation after they explore it."

The matter of Silver City and Moon City leaving the Land Abandoned by God will not be resolved for a while. Klein feels a little relaxed. There is really only one thing to be resolved right now, and that is George III's ceremony.

It was the dead of night at this moment, but Klein did not fall asleep, but came to the gray mist early, waiting for something.

Today is the Sequence 5 Promotion Ceremony reserved by Miss Justice.

The other party is about to become the "dream walker" of Sequence 5, and I have also promised that I will personally help her hold the ceremony to prevent accidents from happening.

In the suburban manor of the Hall family, in Audrey's bedroom.

After the golden retriever Susie received the gaze, she opened the door and went out by herself, and sat outside to prevent anyone from disturbing her.

Audrey took out the extraordinary characteristics of "Dreamwalker", the corresponding auxiliary materials, and the utensils used for preparation from various hidden places where things were hidden—most of these auxiliary materials came from the City of Silver, and they belonged to those who did not have much meritorious service. What was exchanged, as for the reward, Audrey hasn't paid yet, because the little "sun" hasn't figured out what she wants yet.

After skillfully concocting the potion, Audrey took a step back, clasped her hands, placed them in front of her mouth and nose, and whispered in the ancient Hermes language:

"A fool who does not belong to this era..."

As soon as her prayers subsided, countless shadows appeared in front of her eyes that were difficult to describe in specific shapes.

They swim and intertwine quickly, as if they are active in the sea, and at the top of the sea are seven different colors of pure light that seem to contain endless knowledge.

Above the seven rays of pure light is an endless gray-white mist, and above the gray-white mist, there is a towering and majestic palace indistinctly.

At this time, the door of the palace opened, and a figure condensed by a golden light flew down and landed in front of Audrey.The twelve pairs of flame wings covered the blond girl in layers.

Such a scene only lasted for a second or two before disappearing, like a hallucination, but Audrey was immersed in this sacred and noble feeling every time.

She calmed down, and sincerely thanked Mister Fool.

With "Angel's Embrace", she can stay awake in the dream, wake up whenever she wants, and don't have to worry about being addicted to it and unable to extricate herself.

This is equivalent to that she has already held the corresponding ceremony of "Dream Walker", and the effect is definitely better than the original version.

The potion was not as bad as she imagined, it was a little sour, a little sweet, a little bitter, a little psychedelic, a little stimulating, just like a dream of wanton indulgence.

Before Audrey had time to feel the effects of the potion on her body, her mind suddenly went into a trance, and she regained consciousness immediately.

She saw outside the window from the night into the morning, and the sun rose in the sky, dyeing it red.

In the garden, flowers are in full bloom, and there are crystal dewdrops on the tips of the green grass.

Audrey seemed to become the master of this world, her consciousness floated up, and she saw scenes from a bird's-eye view:

Her father and mother are holding hands, walking in the garden path, bathed in the morning light, smelling the fragrance;

Her brother, Alfred, never died. At this moment, he and Hibbert eliminated the barriers, rode a horse, led his attendants, and continued laughing into the woods in the outskirts, comparing who had more hunting results;
The ambassadors or special representatives of countries such as Fusac, Intis, and Fenepot, even the Balam Empire and the Highlands also participated, because the Northern Continent recognized their legal status as countries, and a normal state was established among the countries. equal diplomacy.They signed an agreement at Sodlark Palace in Loen, announcing to the whole world that war would not happen, and the dark clouds in the sky dissipated;
them.

Audrey's eyes froze slightly.

This dream is closely connected with her cognition of the real world. The emperors, kings, and political heads of various countries that appeared in the Sodlark Palace were not the emperors, kings, and political leaders that could be seen in newspapers and portraits, but vague human figures, symbols of gods. .

This scene made her wake up all of a sudden, she turned her head silently, and looked into the distance of this imperfect dream.

She saw that George III announced his abdication, and families missing in human trafficking received state subsidies.And the newly enthroned King Govington II is a benevolent king. With the promotion of the king and the church, the smog situation in Backlund has become better and better. Every factory has passed the inspection of the soda industry prosecutor and the "Air Pollution Investigation Committee". double audit, and extended such standards to other countries;

Audrey sighed softly.

She didn't expect the incredible event of "George III's abdication" to appear in her dream, but she couldn't deny that she was looking forward to this scene, and she also pinned the hope of Ruen's recovery on Crown Prince Covington. On Augustus.

But the reality is that these families still live with the pain of missing family members, or they are simply trafficked.

The king stepped on their bones and blood, ready to step onto the eternal throne.

There is a feeling of falling from the clouds to the ground, the floating joy and confusion disappear, and a corner of the cold real world is revealed.

All these are dreams and fantasies, and now she is losing interest in this dream. Even without the help of Mr. Fool, Audrey felt that she might wake up in fright when the gods from all over the world gathered together.

However, in this dream, there is also a future that seems to be achievable:
The maximum working hours of the workers and the basic working environment have been satisfied, various industries are developing better and better, the number of homeless people has been reduced to an unimaginable level, and various security plans led by the kingdom cover all groups of people ;
Children don't have to enter the factory when they were young. They laughed and played, ran into classrooms with bright windows and clean tables and chairs, opened their textbooks, and began to listen carefully.If they don't learn, it's because they don't want to, not because they don't have conditions;

Every woman is no longer discriminated against because of gender. Even a female laundry worker can rely on learning, gain knowledge, and find a better job. They are journalists, teachers, policemen, soldiers, miners, and government employees. They can be seen in every formal industry;

All kinds of mechanical creations appear in the streets and alleys, bringing convenience and joy to the people;

On the square in front of the church, white doves sometimes fly up and down, and people sit or stand or play, enjoying life to the fullest...

Wild Extraordinary people don't have to worry anymore, as long as they accept regular physical examinations and mental state assessments, they can walk in the sun and use their extraordinary abilities to legally earn money.

"This is really beautiful... Unfortunately, there are some unrealistic parts in it. It seems that the more I know, the less beautiful this world is, but this is the real world..." Audrey stared at such a dream , I felt a burst of emotion in my heart.

Above Sefirah Castle, Klein noticed the changes in Audrey. Seeing that her mental state was very stable, and there were no abnormalities in her astral body and spirituality, she knew that the other party's promotion had most likely been successful.

At this moment, prayers came from Klein's ears, and the pattern of "The Fool" behind the high-back chair rippled.

He looked at the crimson star that swelled and shrunk, and judged from the blurred image that it was a prayer from the "Hermit" lady.

Klein stretched out his hand a little, and the prayer picture appeared in front of his eyes:
Ms. "The Hermit" Cattleya was muttering words with her eyes closed in a spacious but crowded room—Klein knew that these two words were contradictory, but it was true.Because the room itself is very spacious, but the ground is full of planetariums, wrenches, gears, occult books and all kinds of messy sundries, and there is no way to get down—so Ms. "The Hermit" is now floating in the air to pray.

"Respected Mister Fool... I am about to pray to the 'Sage' to gain knowledge, and hope to receive your blessing..."

Sage?O hidden sage.

Klein thought of those transparent eyes floating in the air, made of starlight, flickering.

Immediately afterwards, Klein looked behind Cattleya wordlessly.

Those starry eyes were floating behind Ms. Hermit at this moment, seeming to be watching her every move curiously.

Klein saw these eyes as soon as he opened the screen, and his intuition told him that these eyes were attracted by prayers.Combined with the prayer content of "The Hermit", he almost instantly felt embarrassed that he was assisting in cheating and was caught by the invigilator on the spot.

And these eyes did not give him a spiritual warning, nor did Cattleya's prayers, maybe the "sages" would not be against them.

Seeing that the eyes made of starlight seemed to be turning around, Klein immediately closed the prayer screen. After thinking for a while, he took out the citrine pendulum and decided to divination whether Cattleya would be in danger.

Klein quickly wrote down the divination statement:
Knowledge indoctrination can be fatal to the "hermit".

Citrine rotates counterclockwise in a moderate range, which means that the following knowledge instillation may be dangerous, but not fatal.Knowledge instillation has always been like this. If it is not fatal, it is not dangerous. Klein decided not to respond to Cattleya.

……

In Ferlun's dormitory for secret voyeurs, as soon as Cattleya said the content of her prayer, she immediately felt the gaze of a great being.

She waited nervously for a moment, but nothing happened.

Mister Fool glanced at me, then left?She suddenly had such a weird idea.

Or is it that He has already blessed me, but I didn’t realize it, or He was dissatisfied with my request, but... no, no, God cannot be speculated, no matter what the "fool" does, there must be His reasons of.

So she silently fell to the ground, cleared an open space, and prepared to perform the ceremony of seeking knowledge from the hidden sage.

She took out a stack of blueprints and prayed with piety and thirst for knowledge:

"Dear hidden sage, you are the emperor who transcends knowledge and the hermit who controls the mystery. I pray to you, I hope you can give me the optimized structure of the stratospheric airship and the efficient propeller based on these blueprints that have been designed. Design and thermodynamic modeling..."

……

Half a minute later, Klein heard Cattleya's screams.

He glanced, starlight eyes are constantly passing knowledge past.After confirming that the other party was only in pain and there was no sign of losing control, Klein coughed and turned his head back as if nothing had happened.

He doesn't want to have anything to do with the "hidden sage" for the time being.

On the other hand, Miss Justice's promotion seems to have been completed, and she is happily thanking Mister Fool.

Klein heaved a sigh of relief, withdrew his spirituality, and turned his gaze to the copper-green cross placed on the mottled long table.

This is an item recently sacrificed by two members of the Tarot Society, "Magician" and "Judgment", saying that it is to thank Mister Fool for all kinds of blessings, hoping to please this existence.

It seems that the level is not low... Klein picked up the spiked cross, used divination, and quickly grasped the extraordinary ability and negative effects of this magical item.

The two turned out to be one.

This copper-green cross can purify the forces of depravity, filth, corrosion, darkness, evil, disease, etc., and make them dissipate quickly until there is nothing left.

Based on this principle, this mystical item can also clear away the mental pollution in Extraordinary characteristics.

It is precisely because of this powerful and pure purification that the copper-green cross rejects contact with other mystical items and Extraordinary characteristics, and cannot coexist on the same person. Moreover, it also rejects the holder's Extraordinary characteristics, but it is relatively less obvious: As time goes by, it will cause the characteristics of Extraordinary people to separate out little by little!

It can be used to recover characteristics from Extraordinary who have failed in promotion and have not died or lost control... The ability of this cross is very similar to the "Darkless One" of the "Sun" path... Klein nodded thoughtfully.

"It appeared in the hands of Viscount Stratford, who is suspected to be a member of the Psychological Alchemy Society. He also said that he participated in the killing of Mason Dill who discovered the king's secret. It really means that George III and the Twilight Hermit will have a closer cooperation?"

"The Twilight Hermit must also have angels, oh, for example, that Hermes... I don't know where he is now, is he still supporting George III..."

Klein frowned slightly.

In the history of occultism, Hermes is undoubtedly a great person, if possible, he is not willing to be an enemy of such a person.

"If Hermes is really one of the believers of the Sun God as said in the story of the City of Silver, then I don't think He might support George III... But it's hard to say, divinity and time will gradually change. Human."

"Huh? Yes, this magical item is also a cross."

I've been tracking down George III recently and killed Qonas Kilgor. Could this be a warning from the Twilight Hermit?No, they don't need a warning at all, relying on the silent hypnosis and psychological hints of the "audience", as long as the Sequence 3 or the angel in it consciously teaches me a lesson, I may have started to have problems now that I have just been promoted... So what exactly does this mean?Could it be a hint from Hermes?No, how does he know that Forsi and Xio are the "magician" and "judgment" of the Tarot Society?How do you know they will kill Viscount Stratford and sacrifice these things to me?
He looked at the cross, trying to dig out some hints from it.

After thinking for a long time, Klein did not come up with an answer.Klein reached out to grab the citrine pendulum wrapped around his wrist, but when he stretched out his hand, it stopped in mid-air. After thinking about it, he still gave up the idea of ​​divination.

"The only thing that is certain is that it is definitely not a simple coincidence that the 'Undark Cross' came into my hands, but someone's push."

"I want to find 'The Fool', or contact me."

And this thing is not suitable for wearing on the body, it will gradually lose extraordinary abilities, and it cannot coexist with other sealed items.

"In this case……"

Klein muttered, and grabbed the verdant cross and returned to the real world.The disappearance of Qonas Kilgor did not bring too much shock to Mae Ge Manor. After all, it is not surprising that the major general of MI[-] left suddenly for special reasons.

He left the manor quickly, and when he came back, he had a new secret puppet in his hands—a completely ordinary person, a robber caught from outside who happened to be doing bad things.Klein simply modified the appearance and body shape of the marionette, and then stuffed the Darknessless Cross into his body.

A hole was opened in the secret puppet's chest, swallowing the Wuan Cross, and then the flesh and blood slowly fused without leaving a trace of scar.

"In this way, there is no need to keep it on Origin Castle, to prevent any strange things from happening."

"Ordinary people don't have Extraordinary characteristics to extract. If the secret puppet changes due to the lack of a dark cross, I can feel it immediately."

Next, Klein tried to adjust the position of the dark cross, and left a seal.After the adjustment, he suddenly felt that this operation was a bit strange... like those secret prayers who use their bodies to hide things.

Sure enough, it was the sequelae of working with the secret prayer... Klein laughed dryly, and asked the secret puppet to wear the manor's clothes, seamlessly blending in.

……

A smear of orange lighted up on the horizon, and manors one after another on the north bank of the Tussock River woke up in the morning mist.

The tall and fat Franmy Cage came to the guest bedroom where Qonas Kilgor slept last night, raised his hand and knocked on the door, and then pushed it open. After taking a look, he shook his head in disappointment:

"The major general hasn't returned yet."

Councilor Macht, who happened to get up with him, also looked around the empty room, and comforted him with a smile:
"It may be that the task has not been completed, and the sudden departure of the major general must be a big matter that will take some time to deal with."

"I think so too."

The deputy director of MI[-] often has similar behaviors, involving national security secrets, so Congressman Macht and others did not panic.Franmi didn't doubt Qonas' strength, so he didn't dwell on this topic.

But Hazel didn't look into the room this time. The "Deciphering Scholar" intuitively told her that something abnormal happened inside, but her promotion and strong fear of the unknown stopped her curiosity.

At this moment, Dwayne Dantès walked down the stairs slowly and greeted the guests:

"Good morning, everyone, did you rest well last night?"

"Very good, it's quiet and comfortable here, suitable for a vacation." Councilor Macht smiled at his friend, and Franmi nodded as well.

Dawn walked down the stairs and glanced at Qonas Kilgor's room as he passed by. Seeing that it was still empty, and the things belonging to the major general were still there, he couldn't help but shook his head and sighed softly. :
"Your Excellency the Major General hasn't come back yet, it's because of my poor hospitality."

Flammy hurriedly said:
"Don't say that, Dawn, Your Majesty the Major General is very much looking forward to the vacation at Meige Manor, but he just has to leave because of something."

"Is that so? Then I look forward to making it up in the future."

Dawn said half-jokingly, and then led the guests chatting to the restaurant.

The servants have prepared sumptuous food, and the lunch is even more colorful, every day of the holiday.As a courtesy, the host will use the precious wine in the estate's wine cellar, and the guests are never stingy in complimenting the host's generosity and food.

Dawn noticed that the servants in the restaurant were putting the morning newspaper that he just bought today on the shelf in the restaurant for people to read. He moved slightly spiritually and asked Congressman Macht and the others to pick up the meal first, while he went to put the newspaper and magazine racks.

George III likes to use newspapers to show himself...probably because he can call himself "Emperor" in newspapers, huh.

While cursing, Klein picked up the newspaper with a smile.

His eyes widened slightly, and as expected, there was indeed quite important news written on the second page.

This page is not too big or too small, occupying a relatively important position, but it is not on the first page, giving people a weird feeling, as if it is hidden but not completely hidden.The report contained some condolences from His Majesty the King, who is about to become the emperor, to the reconstruction of the city. The accompanying picture showed a huge podium that had already been built. According to Klein’s impression of Backlund, this podium should be in—Becklund’s In the city center, on the square in the Hillston district.

It really is here... Klein has already investigated Backlund's situation.

If George III was looking for a mass ceremony site that could accommodate a large number of residents, it must be the town square.

"...Delayed by bad weather and various objective reasons, until today, the stage has been set up."

"In the past year, Backlund and the people have experienced a lot together. His Majesty the Emperor will deliver an important speech on the current situation and the future. The speech will start on time at 10:4 am on October [-]th, and all citizens are expected to actively participate. Venue: Hillston Central City Plaza”

Klein frowned, and then his eyes slowly moved upwards, seeing today's date on the front page of the newspaper.

10 month 1 day.

"It was said to be within half a month... It turned out that it only took ten days." Klein stared blankly at this date for a few seconds, and the matter suddenly appeared in front of him, and he himself had only been promoted to Sequence 3 until now. Only five days.

George III moved faster than he thought.

I will continue to cook tomorrow, so I have to ask for leave. (leave)
