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

Chapter 400
720
Accompanied by Calderon's roar in the depths, Azik, who was far away in the southern continent, suddenly blurred in front of his eyes.

He heard the river flowing, and the black mist appeared beside him like a veil, and a figure appeared behind the layers of veils, revealing a palpitating breath, as if death was close at hand.

The black veil is the boundary separating life and death, and the white dress and gold ornaments on His body are like a burial gift for the dead.

"Father." Azik quickly saluted the figure.

The figure did not respond to his attitude, and asked in an erratic voice:
"where is it?"

"Where did you go just now?"

"Your occult connection has appeared in a place I can't perceive..."

"Where are you and him?"

"Is it history? You appeared in history? Who is calling you from the past? He will also return from history? Is that so?"

His state seems to be not right... This series of questions caught Azik a little off guard. He waited patiently for the other party to finish asking all the questions, then sorted out his thoughts, and started from the beginning:
"Yes, father, just now I felt the call of my student, it should be through the historical projection of 'Seer'."

"So I responded to him, but I don't know what he summoned me to do."

"Historical projection." The figure behind the veil said slowly, "Historical projection..."

The figure suddenly started to move, he strode close to Azik Eggers, the black mist swayed slightly like a tulle in the wind, he walked in front of Azik, a graceful arm emerged from the veil Reached out and grabbed his shoulders.

Azik's eyes widened suddenly, and he didn't have time to ask. The next moment, he was caught behind the veil by the god of death.

In the real world, Azik, who was flipping through documents in the consul's mansion and confirming many things, suddenly lost his breath and fell heavily on the table, as if he had entered a state of death.

but in the meanwhile.

In the fog of history, the eyes of the first Baron Ramud, who had returned to the historical fragments of the Fifth Epoch where he was, looked for his wife and children instantly became lively.Azik's consciousness disappeared from the material world, and the historical projection naturally gained sanity.

Azik looked left and right, preparing to leave the historical fragments to check on Klein's situation.

His intuition told him that Klein still needed help.

"Honey."

At this moment, a strange yet familiar voice rang in his ears.Azik looked back in a daze, and saw the beautiful-haired wife of the "First Baron Ramud" walking over with the child in her arms, approaching him with a smile, and resting her head on Azik On his shoulder, he asked softly: "The sun is so good today, can you accompany me to the garden for a walk?"

Azik's movements froze in an instant, he stared intently at his wife's soft side face, and then at the eldest son who was not yet grown up in his arms.

His wife has been dead for hundreds of years, and even his memory is vague.And his child... was killed by vicious means, became an evil spirit in his mansion, lingered, and because of his identity as a descendant of the God of Death, Ince Zangwill was used as one of the materials for promotion.

The heartbeat in my ears suddenly became louder, and the voices and smiles of my past wives emerged in my mind one by one.He couldn't look away, some kind of weird, sour emotion that mythical creatures couldn't possess slowly rose, which made him feel nostalgic suddenly.

The people he once loved are dead, but they are still alive in history.

Azik didn't answer, but his wife smiled and said according to the history that happened at that time: "This is really great, I didn't expect that I would be able to monopolize the busy Lord Baron for two hours today."

After finishing speaking, his wife got up from his shoulders, reached out and took Azik's shoulders, and led him away.

Azik looked at his wife's profile, and subconsciously followed her a few steps forward.

Different from the barren and dilapidated appearance hundreds of years later, there is a beautiful garden in the current Ramud Castle because of the love of the mistress.Azik remembered that he used to take walks with his wife here, and even though he gradually lost his humanity, gradually became indifferent and cruel, he still maintained this habit until she died.

For a moment, Azik wanted to stay in this historical fragment for a while longer, but his concern for Klein still prevailed.

After struggling a bit, he pulled his arm away from his wife's arms with a little effort, and felt a little lost when he saw her still walking towards the garden.

Inexplicable emotions surged up, Azik walked up quickly, ran to his wife's side, took her hand hanging in the air, kissed the back of her hand lightly, then lowered his head, and kissed his wife A child under the age of one in her arms.

"I love you."

He wanted to say something more, but his throat seemed to be strangled, and he couldn't say a word.Or they have become the past condensed in time, like things in amber, and Azik is still alive, and he has to leave them and go to the world of the living.

Time is urgent, even if you are reluctant to give up, you have to leave.

Azik took a last look at them in his memory, then turned around neatly, and left the piece of history without looking back.

The wife was walking alone in the garden, with her arms hanging in the air, as if someone should be holding them intimately.

The fragments of history gradually faded away. Suddenly, she turned her head sideways, looked at her empty side, and said softly with a satisfied smile:

"Yes, honey, I love you too."

……

Zaratul stared at the reversed "Emperor" placed by him, and was silent for a moment, then put away all four cards, and greeted the guests who had already sat down with a smile:
"Welcome, what do you want to divination?"

The guest was a middle-aged man dressed as a businessman, with a piece of gold watch chain peeking out of his pocket, he seemed to have a good life and quite a fortune.

The businessman nodded briefly: "Divination, I received a large business, which was introduced by my partner. We have cooperated many times, but this time I feel uneasy for some reason. Maybe your divination can help you. Give me some guidance or inspiration."

Zaratul nodded and began to shuffle the cards.

The shuffling of cards by veteran fortune tellers is an art, and the people behind stretched their necks and widened their eyes to appreciate it.The Tarot cards flowed freely in his hands as if they were alive, and relying on this talent show, Zaratul could digest ten bottles of "Master of Magic" in Sequence 8 of the Apprentice.

He put the cards upside down on the table, drew out three cards and arranged them as usual, and unlocked the first card under the expectant eyes of the businessman.

Reversal of "Reaper"!

Zaratul's pupils shrank slightly, his gray beard trembled a few times, and he said in disbelief:

"...This is not a good symbol, sir. In this transaction, you may not be the only one who feels uneasy. The reverse position of this card means 'stubborn, persistent, unwilling to let go, addicted to the past', and Those circumstances will have a somewhat negative outcome."

Zaratul fell silent, and the businessman also fell silent, with a complicated expression, as if recalling something.

"Thinking about it, my investor seems to have encountered some urgent matters and needs a sum of money to turn around..." the businessman said uncertainly.

"Bad result... well, this is only the first card, we can pray that the next card will turn around." Zaratul comforted the merchant, and seemed to comfort himself by the way, he slowly He stretched out his hand, flipped over the second card, and pursed his lips slightly.

The upright position of the tower.

"...Maybe you can also treat this card as good luck." Zaratul gave up thinking a little bit, "'Tower' is the only card that shows negative conditions no matter whether it is upright or reversed, that is, In other words, losses are inevitable, it is only in the way you accept losses."

After saying this, the businessman's expression became even more unsightly, and his body movements showed his desire to get out and leave.

And Zaratul looked at the card, and after a long silence, he slowly turned it over.

"Let me accept this reality? To be gifted by the Creator, to be blessed by fate, to be favored by war, it seems that everything around him is pushing him forward... Why is it now, why is it him, why should I Accept defeat?"

When the Lord of Storms attacked Lunburg, Zaratul also did a divination, and got the inverse of the "tower"—combined with the extremely strong mystic symbols at the time, Zaratul was not surprised by this result.The tower card symbolizes all kinds of negative situations such as negativity, failure, fall, and destruction. They are not even willing to hide a glimmer of life like "Reaper".The fall of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom perfectly fits the card face and symbolic meaning of the tower, but when this card face appeared in his future, Zaratul was not so happy to see it.

The current God of Thunder also holds the symbol of the "high tower", and Zaratul is even thinking about whether this is one of the hints given to him by the God of Thunder.

But it does not imply that he is trying to move forward, but that he can prepare for the upcoming failure with a better attitude.

Having said that, the upcoming failure, in addition to the God-favored of the Creator in front of him, there is also... Zaratul frowned, combined with the oracle given to him by the God of Thunder, he suddenly had a bad premonition , as if he had seen something wrong with the king's promotion ceremony.

For Sequence One who has been immersed in "divination" for thousands of years, intuition is equivalent to a small "prophecy"!
At this moment, he felt something and closed his eyes.

"Sure enough...failed."

"The situation is not good... If the two things go wrong, I should be glad that the one drawn is still upright and not reversed."

Zaratul couldn't help thinking to himself, the future Dark Emperor, the God of Thunder with two paths, the Loen Kingdom is undoubtedly the biggest ship right now.Although the latter did not show any support for his competition for the "Lord of Mysteries", and did not even write a blank check, but issuing an oracle to him to guard against George III also meant to support him based on his performance.
But if there may be problems with the king's ceremony, and the arrest of the holder of Origin Castle will not go smoothly, Zaratul must consider whether to readjust the plan.

The businessman didn't hear Zaratul's muttering, he looked at the last card in Zaratul's hand, and urged:

"What else?"

"I hope the last card can give us some good enlightenment." Zaratul said half-jokingly, and then opened the last card without much hesitation.

Upright Sword 3.

Zaratul's eyes widened slightly, he stroked his beard, and said slowly:
"This is indeed a turning point. What you encounter now may make you feel uneasy or even fearful. There may have been a fatal loophole in your work, but if you find this loophole, there may be a chance to save it."

"But, well, it's not a good thing, because this card represents a dispute, a fight. Maybe even if the problem is solved, you won't get any real improvement or benefit, and at the same time the prospects are not very good, sir, We're all unlucky."

Even the apocalypse only expressed that "if it is not remedied, disaster will come, but if it is remedied, nothing good will happen"... Zaratul thought for a while, shook his head with a wry smile:

"It's like being cursed by fate."

A Sequence One can't catch a Sequence Three. Isn't this being abandoned by fate?
After finishing speaking, He stood up and began to lift his tablecloth, making the crystal ball, pendulum, tarot cards, delicate tablecloth and even the table on the table disappear as if by magic. The guests who had just stood up almost lost their The chair fell and everyone exclaimed.

"Aren't you going to continue divination?" The people in the queue behind asked eagerly.

"No, no, I also got a revelation, and it's time to get off work." Zaratul smiled and joked at the young lady who was speaking.

The people who lined up had no choice but to gradually disperse, and the carriages that were blocked on the road started to move again.

Leaning on his crutches, Zaratul slowly moved towards the other side of the street, as if he planned to walk to Queens just like that.After losing the mysterious aura brought by divination, He is now like a homeless old man who can be seen everywhere.

When passing by the carriage where the owner of Origin Castle was, he smiled and glanced into the window.

……

As soon as the "Emperor of Knowledge" Russell emerged from the fog of history, he immediately turned his head and looked down at Klein.

His aura suddenly became lofty, as if the sky was suddenly higher, one after another illusory and complicated symbols condensed in his eyes, and a huge mountain of useless knowledge rushed past like a tsunami.The same symbol appeared in Klein's eyes. In an instant, his head swelled rapidly, blood vessels ruptured, and his entire face was stained with blood!
The vast amount of messy knowledge compressed Klein's own thoughts to the extreme. He only had time to think of the first word, and the second word had already been rushed to the corner of his brain by hundreds of books. It was different from Secret Puppetization. A kind of interruption of thoughts, unable to think!
Klein's head exploded with a bang, and his body turned into a paper figurine and flew away.

Roselle looked in another direction, and Knowledge rushed over again. Klein, who had just appeared there, had his head swell again, and within two seconds, the second paper doll double exploded.

It was as if fireworks were being set off in the fog of history, and Klein's paper doll double was consumed in a blink of an eye.

Pull out a historical projection to help me share! !Klein struggled to think of a countermeasure during the explosion of the paper figurine. Then, he suddenly remembered that he still had a spiritual link, so he frantically let go of part of his psychological defenses, allowing the tsunami of knowledge to divert.

Klein's pressure dropped sharply, and the speed at which his head swelled decreased significantly.

In Trier.

The "War Red" Legion is undergoing routine training and repairs.

"What's for dinner?" a hunter asked his companion.

The companion opened his mouth and said: "Eat quantum mechanics. Quantum mechanics, also known as Russell mechanics, is a famous theory describing microscopic matter. Together with the theory of relativity, it is considered as the two basic pillars of modern physics. Many physical theories and sciences such as atomic Physics, solid state physics, nuclear physics, particle physics and other related disciplines are based on quantum mechanics."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Someone said, "Art appreciation, also known as art appreciation, refers to the aesthetic evaluation and aesthetic enjoyment activities that people have in the process of contacting art works, and it is also the way for people to understand the objective world through artistic images (artistic conceptions). A kind of thinking activity. In the process of art appreciation, psychological factors such as feeling, perception, representation, thinking, emotion, association and imagination are extremely active.”

Several hunters talked nonsense, pointing fingers at each other, scratching their heads, and this strange disease quickly spread in the legion camp, and in a blink of an eye, all the recruits from the regiment leader to the recruits were infected.

Medici suddenly felt that there was a lot of useless knowledge in his mind, and the amount of knowledge was still increasing rapidly. He shook his head in doubt: "What is that kid doing in the fog of history? Endorsement?"

"Hey, it's the sect of hidden sages, and they can't turn off the mind link, let them meditate on their own." Medici called out to Tang En, who happened to be passing by, and his eyes were straightened when he heard the knowledge, and ordered, "Fenebo surface should be mixed with the latest concrete..."

Medici hurriedly shut up.

"Yes!" Tang En nodded vigorously, and then left with one hand and one foot, "Notify the cafeteria to make Fenbo noodles and mix concrete tonight!"

Medici was shocked.

……

In short, Klein's state quickly improved after being instilled with the knowledge of the Red of War. Just when he was about to use a spell to grab someone from the historical projection and escape quickly, in the depths of the mist, a person quickly approached him.

Someone who can move in the fog of history... Klein suddenly became nervous, fearing that it would be Zaratul himself.

The next moment, people in the fog of history rushed out, ran to Klein's side, and pulled him far away.

Azik's figure was immediately reflected in Russell Gustav's historical projection, and his escape speed suddenly slowed down, and he didn't even need the "Emperor of Knowledge" to act. Only by relying on this extraordinary ability can a sequence Two, one sequence and three are all dead here.

boom!Klein blew it up twice more.

"Give me the talisman!" Azik struggled to remember his purpose, and reached out to take away the talisman in Klein's hand. At this moment, Klein had exhausted all his strength just to fight against the torrent of knowledge, and he was powerless to resist. .

Azik grabbed Klein's spell, and then grabbed Klein's hand. He was already one head and two big, but he still insisted:
"I'll tell you a name now, you accept the knowledge of this person, and then summon his historical projection!"

After finishing speaking, Azik turned his head abruptly, and shouted at Roselle:
"Sia Palenque Eggers!!"

——Creatures with thinking ability have a strange conditioned reflex, that is, after hearing a certain noun, if they understand something, they will involuntarily start to recall the content related to the noun in their minds.

Retrieving nouns and interacting with knowledge seekers is also the instinct of the "Emperor of Knowledge". The moment Azik called out the name, Russell Gustav's historical projection suddenly had a different effect on "Sia Pa Lunk Eggers" recalled and pondered.

In the next second, all the information about the name appeared in Klein's mind out of thin air, including appearance, age, identity, sequence, family relationship, hiding place, rebel stronghold to which he belonged, status of holding sealed items... and countless other information, Klein felt that he would not be able to summon the historical projection even if he had never seen the other person, but now, this is probably the only way - Azik grabbed his arm, Klein raised his hand with all his strength, and whispered read:

"efficient!"

His arms tensed suddenly, and he grabbed hard in the fog of history.

But unfortunately, even under the "effective" blessing of the true god level, nothing was poked.

"Sure enough... I haven't met him, nor have I established any relationship with him. In theory, I can't summon him."

Klein didn't give up. He was just about to withdraw his hand and grab it again, when suddenly, he felt a cold hand in history grabbing him!
At the same time, Azik beside him quickly disappeared.

This historical projection has exhausted its strength as a medium of occult connection.

Klein only felt as if he was being grabbed by something extremely heavy. With the help of him, the hand appeared from the dark mist. It was a Shia who had almost the same knowledge as Klein, but looked even more angry. Palenque Eggers.

As soon as He appeared, he suddenly looked at Roselle's historical projection, with a ferocious expression, and smiled angrily:

"Rosell Gustav, I found you!"

Klein was still in shock, and suddenly felt as if water had fallen on his fingers.

He lowered his head, and saw that the long black hair of the woman in the Balam-style white dress dropped drop after drop of water, and the black water droplets turned into mist in the air, reminiscent of ghosts in ancient legends .

Roselle's historical projection also seemed to have noticed that this time the enemy was more difficult, the attack method changed suddenly, and a huge metal instrument rumbled up from the fog of history, with arms, heads, a giant cannon barrel and agitator. The crushing machine was all available, and at the same time, the stars fell from the sky, constructing a more complex mysterious ritual magic. With just a glance, Klein felt as if his mind was about to explode.

"I won't lose to you again!"

And Shia Eggers completely ignored these bells and whistles. He suddenly transformed into a huge feathered snake, and the pale flames swallowed the unformed machinery and starlight, forcing Roselle's historical projection to retreat. go.

The Feathered Serpent took advantage of the victory to pursue, and with a sweep of its huge snake tail, it completely shattered the metal that was burned by the flames!

Fulgrim's dogs swarmed up quickly, dragging him towards the exit with his clothes in their mouths.

boom!
The starlight magic exploded suddenly, and the dark fog was shaken a little. The intensity of the battle in the fog of history suddenly rose to a higher level. Klein was blown away by the surging aftermath, his brain was muddy, and the pain was so painful that he wanted to vomit blood. unconscious.

"This is someone who has been recruited..."

This historical projection Roselle didn't have much memory of Sia Palenque Eggers. In his memory, she was just a demigod, but the one he summoned was an angel.With difficulty, Klein stood up stooped with the help of Fulgan's dog, and walked towards the distance with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

"Despicable people from the Northern Continent, don't even think about stepping into my land again!"

The Feathered Serpent let out a roar that shook the sky, burning like real anger.At the same time, the black mist that diffused from nowhere quietly eroded the starlight and the metal protection that was constantly reorganizing and collapsing, allowing Roselle to reveal his figure.

However, a historical projection would naturally not respond to the Pale Queen's roar.

Even, between battles, Roselle's historical projection did not forget his job, and intercepted Klein twice who wanted to take advantage of the chaos and escape.

The pale queen's historical projection caught the gap between the opponent's distraction and opened her mouth to roar.There is no spiritual body to summon in the historical fog, and there is no spiritual world. The giant feathered snake swooped down suddenly, and its body tightly entwined Roselle's historical projection. The symbol of death and the black mist scrambled to wrap the historical projection. The speed visible to the naked eye melts this historical projection, and even decomposes it into the most basic spirituality!
Roselle's historical projection quickly struggled a few times, but the metal and magic were melted faster than itself, and the mysterious reappearance magic was interrupted before it could unfold. It was tightly entwined by the feathered snake's tail, roaring In the sound, it was constantly being thrown around and hit.

The extraordinary battle, under the condition that each other's abilities are restricted, has turned into the simplest melee combat.

Klein glanced back with lingering fear, and accelerated his retreat.

After a lot of effort, the weak fortune-teller finally moved to the weakest part of the historical fog. He frantically touched the dogs of Fulgrim several times as a thank you, then stood up hard, entered meditation, and simulated The feeling of falling away.

After his figure disappeared, the dogs of Fulgrim also hid in the depths of the historical fog one after another, leaving the battlefield.

"Go to hell!"

It didn't take long for Roselle's historical projection to be riddled with holes by the power of the river of eternal darkness and the breath of death. The Feathered Serpent opened its bloody mouth, biting fiercely on the historical projection's body, biting its The chest and the whole arm were torn apart and swallowed.

After several bites full of hatred, the historical projection turned into spirituality and was swallowed up. The crazy feathered snake searched this space for a long time, and the obsession soaked in hatred finally realized that Roselle had been wiped out. Will not appear in front of oneself again.

"I won?"

The huge Feathered Serpent muttered to himself, and it circled a few times in the air in disbelief, then fell to the ground and stared blankly into the distance.

"I won……"

He turned back into a human being and looked around, but he couldn't find anyone he was familiar with, and no one came to praise the queen's victory. His parents and citizens were all missing.He walked a few steps in the dark fog of history and lost his way.

A long time later, a fragment of the history of the Southern Continent from the Fourth Epoch drifted over, including His figure in it.

……

As soon as Klein's consciousness returned to his body, he instinctively looked towards the window.

The old mysterious waiter just passed by his car, and the deep eyes hidden in the shadow of the hood cast a glance at him, and then showed a meaningful smile.

Then his eyes moved away smoothly, and he slowly walked into the distance, as if all the murderous intentions and dead hands just now did not exist.

The carriage moved forward slowly, while Klein's chest heaved violently.

He couldn't calm down, and he could hardly take his eyes off Zaratul's back, until the old man who was an enemy and a senior slowly disappeared at the end of the street.

TBC

tnnd is finally done.
