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

770
"What a fine day, Letty, what do you think?"

Seeing that Audrey still didn't seem to have reacted, Richard waved his hand, and a stack of papers placed on a shelf not far away automatically flew over, and fell neatly on his chest like cards in the hands of a magician. before.

"In good weather like this, it's time to do some good things."

"Such as emptying magazines, decorating our streets, and then emptying homes for decorations, using their money to build schools and factories for children."

Audrey's expression was a little dull, as if she didn't realize it until now.The corpse hanging on the raised part of the wall outside made her feel inexplicable fear—she was afraid of the dead, which was normal, she was a girl who was not yet 19 years old, and she had never really seen the dead before.But the death scenes of the three people hanging on the wall are not scary, they can only be regarded as horror. Audrey wanted to take another look, but held back.

She couldn't tell what the sudden fear in her heart was.

But as a psychiatrist, she also guessed the reason.

"I really want to do the same in the Northern Continent."

While flipping through the files and documents in his hand, Richard skillfully stamped or crossed them. As always, he had a gentle and warm smile on his face, and what he was doing, what he had done, and what he was about to do form a huge contrast.It was as if the two aspects of the devil and the righteous had been completely integrated into the same person. She never thought that someone could be so purely kind and so crazyly cruel—just like that day, once again let Ao Delly has a deep understanding of the degree of mental abnormality of the high-sequence people of the "prisoner" pathway.

Corpses... The corpses that appeared directly on the street are somewhat beyond Audrey's cognition.

And people who should theoretically be terrified and even silent were singing and laughing in a language she didn't understand.

In this unbelievably frenzied atmosphere, Audrey felt a vague temperature that scorched her spine.

She gripped her apron tightly and found her voice.

"……what?"

"Oh, of course, I'm not here to say anything else. If you lose, you lose. Our national strength and cohesion back then were indeed like rubbish. ... There seems to be a proverb in the North Continent, 'If you fall behind, you will be beaten', but I I think that sentence is a little biased.”

Richard sentenced the two families to death again, with heavy words on his mouth, but the expression on his face was still light enough to have a smile on his face:

"This sentence is not the truth. It looks like the grief of the weak, and the aloofness of the strong. In essence, it shows the hostility between human beings. Suppose there is a child who is born weak and disabled, and he just exists there. But he was bullied, beaten, and even killed in the end. Could it be that child's fault? How do you think about it—it's because the person who did it is morally corrupt."

Audrey blinked, regained some courage, and asked as calmly as possible:
"Your Highness Richard, did you let me come here and see all this to make me realize the mistakes of the war?"

"If this is the case, I would have known it a long time ago. When I learned that the war broke out in the Amanda Mountains and I personally experienced the horrible bombing, I already hated this matter."

Or, do you want me to see the fate of the nobles in the highlands now, so as to beat me as a noble from the Northern Continent?

"neither."

Richard shook his head: "No one in this world likes war. Except for those Extraordinary who need war, the others who advocate war are brains... Actually, I don't know why I'm telling you this, maybe I just want to talk to someone Just talk."

"Huh?" Audrey was a little surprised now.

"Hanging them up makes me feel very good, Audrey, let me tell you a little story."

"Before our God, the Bound God, was defeated by the North Continent, we also had an official church. The right to interpret beliefs, doctrines, and the qualifications for inheriting extraordinary powers were all in the hands of the church. Master-apprentice system to carry on the inheritance.”

Richard held his chin with one hand, showing a very rare look of reminiscence.

"I was a highlander more than 200 years ago, so of course my master was a member of the Church of the Bound God, and so was my master's master. However, my master's qualifications are relatively mediocre, and he was accepted purely because of his family and blood. His master could become the manager of the Museum of Rites and Theology, guarding an ancient cursed item, but he was a Sequence 6 until his death. Hehe, Audrey, a Sequence 40 in her 6s is far worse than you gone."

It was the first time for Audrey to hear the Temperance Angel talk about her past.

As an angel, an angel who has lived a long time, although he is relatively young in his 200s among the angels, when talking about his life, Richard still reveals some memories unique to the elderly.

"My master's master...that old man is a demigod, and he has a close personal relationship with my master's father, so he supported him. The old man didn't like me very much when he was alive, because I am not a descendant of nobles, and my ancestors are all commoners. The colonists were of mixed blood. But at that time, the talents withered, my master was just a down-and-out little nobleman, his family was in ruins during the war, and he was almost drawn to join the army, but he had no choice."

"Seeing that I drank potions at the age of ten and became a Sequence 11 at the age of 8, he barely looked at me straight, and began to consider using his contacts to put my identity under the name of a middle-level nobleman, as an illegitimate child. Climb slowly, sneak into the museum as an apprentice..."

"My master also breathed a sigh of relief, and even asked if he wanted me to be his godson, and then he was scolded by the old man, saying that the glory of your family has been ruined by you and your brother, don't come out again to make a fool of yourself, give me My master has been sad for several days."

Richard tried hard to think back for a while, and found that he had almost forgotten the old man's face. He could only vaguely recall that the old man liked to wear the white robe of the highland traditional costume, never wore ornaments, and strictly abided by the rules. darker than others.And on the serious and deeply wrinkled face in memory, the light-colored eyes shone sharply, as if they wanted to see through the souls of others.

And the face of the master who was less than 50 years old when he died was also very blurred, obviously the other party was once a handsome middle-aged man.

At the end of the memory, the only thing that is clear is the corpse that has been disemboweled, limbs broken, and internal organs removed. The golden brown hair and brown eyes of the other party are the color of coagulated blood.

Destroy the corpse, remove the internal organs, and expose the corpse to the wilderness.

In the culture of the highlands, people who die in this way cannot meet the gods and have an afterlife.

"...But during the war, there's not so much 'slowness'."

The Temperance Angel sighed.

Immediately afterwards, He snapped his fingernails:
"My master is mediocre and cowardly. After resisting for two years, he fled to the North Continent. The old man is a demigod, and he is also a servant of God who has dedicated his life to God and asceticism. He wants to bring his own glory and his identity as a priest. Guard those things to the end."

"But in the face of the Northern Continent's army, did they defend for a total of five or ten days? Then the Northern Continent soldiers who invaded the temples and museums smashed our steles and sculptures, and melted the handicrafts into gold and silver nuggets. Our ancient books and cultural relics were used to burn the fire... After the old man died, he was hung by his legs in front of the temple door, and his dead head was placed directly under him, this is what Master told me."

The Temperance Angel tells a part of his life.

He must have a good eloquence, otherwise he would not have won funding based on his ability.In front of the pathways related to emotions and desires, even a psychiatrist can hardly maintain his emotions smoothly all the time, even if Richard doesn't bother to guide a small Sequence 5 at all.

As an alien from the Northern Continent, Audrey felt that she had no confidence in her words: "The invaders at that time were..."

"It's a Feysac."

Richard nodded: "This small place of ours is not as rich as Balam's, but there are many small countries, and they also have some assets. First, Fusac's army took advantage of the opening of the new route and touched it. When Balam's gold drove the North Continent crazy , They enslaved us. Then the Feysacs were driven away again, in exchange for the rule of Intis, and Loen also got a share of it... Do you think it is necessary for me to divide you very carefully? "

Audrey fell into silence again.

She felt that she could understand Richard Ernst's thoughts—nonsense, if a witness or victim of a war tells things in front of you, but you can't feel the emotions and thoughts of the other party, don't be a psychiatrist. up! ——To be honest, Audrey is a little surprised by her calm attitude now. The dead body hanging outside makes her feel uneasy and instinctively afraid, but at the same time, she seems to have accepted "my grandparents" If I am resented by others, I will also be implicated." The reality.Because Taufik had already demonstrated it to her.

"If the two of them are still alive, they will definitely drive me out of the division."

Richard made fun of himself, and showed a narrow smile on his face: "If these two guys who have kept the precepts all their lives see that their disciples and grandchildren become the leader of the indulgence faction, they will probably be so angry that they will go to see him on the spot. God."

Audrey was silent, not knowing what expression to use to face this sentence.

The study was so quiet for a while, Audrey lowered her eyes and asked softly:

"I understand."

"After I came here, I can feel the blood debt and sorrow, as well as the scars left by greed and war. I understand what you want me to see and think, but that's all I can do Many, Your Highness, if you kill me..."

Richard interrupted Audrey's subsequent words with surprised eyes:
"What are you talking about? Although I really want your Northern Continent to explode in situ, do I seem to have nothing to do to hurt the employees?"

ah.Audrey was a little embarrassed when she mustered up the courage to speak, but Richard waved her hand, urging her to go back to work quickly:

"Okay, I've been chatting with me for so long, the patients in the hospital should be waiting for you, and I will deduct your wages if you miss the working hours? You have so many things to do, don't think about all of them. .”

"But—but, you can really think about it, Audrey."

Richard stopped waving his hand, and looked at Audrey with an inexplicable emotion in his eyes:

"You know the situation in the Northern Continent, right? You really can think about it. Although you don't know what the future holds, if there is a day of subversion, or if you become an enemy of me, think about it carefully. When that day comes Now, how do you face the world again.”

After saying this, Richard laughed, smiled and sighed again.

Audrey couldn't help laughing, she nodded slightly while laughing, then lifted her skirt, turned and walked out.

"I will, Your Highness."

She turned around and left the small study room of more than ten square meters, closed the door gently, and came to the corridor outside.Letty Orr was already a familiar face here, and anyone who came across her in the hallway, whether in indulgence or restraint, greeted her briefly.

Audrey looked at the ground in front of her, thought about her own thoughts, lifted her skirt, and slowly walked in a straight line in the corridor.

Outside the window, the sun was shining brightly, and there were two more decorations on the wall.

……

"Am I late again?"

On the wilderness of the Land Abandoned by the Gods, the tattered figure finally stopped, and began to put back the parts of his body that ran off the line due to poor sewing techniques.He sat down on a random stone and began to mend his makeshift container.

"I didn't delay this time, it's because the pace of Sequence 5 is too slow."

He sat on the stone and muttered a few words, and then began to look for the figure of the incredible giant wolf.

He knew that the other party was also avoiding him. He was like a stargazing telescope with the highest magnification, but a small three-wheeled cart was added underneath.Because the speed difference between the two is too great, I can see the shadow of the target and the possible location, but I have been unable to catch up.And the wolf also became unhurried after realizing this, and even wanted to slip him around like flying a kite.

"Don't let me catch you."

He blessed the other party in a low voice: "There was something abnormal about the seal leading to the Western Continent before, and he will definitely pass through again. If I catch him, I will definitely take that thing off his body and take a look."

……

moon city.

As soon as Klein approached Moon City, he felt his scalp go numb, and every cell in his body resisted entering here.

He felt that this should be due to both instinct and spiritual perception, because there were multiple Amons in the city, and he hated Amon very much, so it was only natural that he didn't want to approach him while feeling the danger.

"Honorable angel."

The High Priest of Nim saw Klein who seemed to be stopping him by himself, stopped on his own initiative, and asked with concern: "If you don't want to enter the city, we can also set up a tent for you within a safe distance outside the city. .”

Klein didn't speak, and his eyes turned to the face of the Moon City Extraordinary who put on the monocle in front of him just now. The Extraordinary subconsciously straightened his back after being seen by the envoy of God, and a smile appeared on his face. There is a natural tension and confusion.

The previous feeling of "like Amon" has disappeared.

"No need." Klein took a breath and said bravely, "I'll go in with you, that's the purpose of my coming here."

He didn't know whether his nerves were too tense, or Amon really only flashed on this Extraordinary. The most important thing was that Amon was the "God of Deceit" and "God of Mischief". In a city with many Amons, it is not surprising that there are decorations like monocles.If you were too nervous and thought that the person wearing the decorations was Amon, you might be fooled.

But it never hurts to be a little more cautious.

"Ok."

The high priest was very moved by the responsible attitude of the envoy. He didn't think there would be any danger in Moon City, but he still asked:
"Why don't the other two come to Moon City as guests together?"

Because if they come in, Amon might really look here, and the difficulty of our survival will be directly raised to a higher level... And if there is only me, only me, a weak person, Amon will probably mainly play with me ...The most important thing is that I am also gambling. Since He thinks that I can temporarily resist the "destiny to become the Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun" for Him, then He must not dare to let me die...

Klein's thoughts turned, and finally he showed a smile:
"The two of them are followers of the Sun God. They have other tasks to do when they come here."

"Oh."

The high priest nodded clearly, although he didn't understand, but he didn't ask any further questions in a sensible way.

The team continued to move forward. In about half an hour, the high priest led Klein through several simple fortifications guarded by people, and saw the towering and ancient city walls of Moon City from a distance.

During this process, no one suddenly put on the monocle, effectively alleviating Klein's anxiety.

After approaching, the high priest led Klein directly towards the gate.But the instinct of the "ancient scholar" was at work, Klein couldn't help walking forward, stretched out his hand and gently stroked the city wall - the hand was cold and thick, and every deep ravine represented an extremely dangerous event The city wall blocked all these dangers and kept the city-state in darkness for more than 2000 years.

Although this was once a city of blood races, after thousands of years of human habitation and modification, there are no traces of blood races.

Klein followed the high priest into the city. It was night, and there were not many people on the streets. Torches or lanterns were quietly lit on the walls of the solid and old main houses, illuminating the city.

Although the darkness is no longer dangerous, the people here are still not used to going out at night.

Back in his own city, the high priest obviously became more relaxed. He turned around and asked Klein humbly: "Honorable envoy, may I gather everyone and tell them about the 'Fool'?" will it?"

Klein pondered for a moment, thought for a while, and then stretched out his hand and pointed to the east:
"Don't worry, the time hasn't come yet. I will be here for a while. If you want to feel the glory of the Lord and listen to His teachings, you can come here anytime during the day."

"I do a cleanse and a cure every day, after the sun rises."

According to the words of the high priest, there are still many people in the city who only believe in "The Fool" politely, so he did not try to directly transfer the residents of Moon City, nor did he intend to go directly to that city-state or ask for specific information, leaving them a message. There is enough room for buffering.

Nim, the high priest of Moon City quietly let out a sigh of relief, and responded with more respect:

"I will pass on your words to all."

Klein pursed his lips and added, "It is the mercy of the Lord to treat diseases. People who have already been treated can also do it again."

The high priest was slightly puzzled by this sentence. Why should a person who has been healed by God once need to be healed again?But this idea disappeared from his mind in the next second, and disappeared together with this sentence.

He only remembered that he promised to tell everyone the words of the envoy, so he bowed seriously to Klein and left with the other Beyonders.

Klein looked at his back, and after a while, he also carried his own animal skin lantern and walked towards an empty house to the east where no one lived.

Finally the fever subsided.
