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

Chapter 464 Social Change

When the sun rose, Irena knocked on her brother's door.

Knock three times, wait for a moment, and after a slight sound, the wooden door with gold borders inlaid on its four corners and frame opens inward.Her brother, Clovis Montemar, stepped out.

The collar of the marquis' eldest son was a little disheveled, and his belt was not fastened properly. Apart from a sense of haste, there was a sense of laziness and a strange smell.In the one or two seconds before the door was closed, there were more than one piece of women's clothing scattered on the ground and the carpet between the door.

Irena glanced at it, accustomed to the routine of the men of the family for their feasts and good evenings.

After she looked away, she thought of something again, glanced at the closed door, and confirmed that none of the men and women in the room had the spiritual color of an Extraordinary before she felt relieved.

Although Clovis was exhausted all night, he was in good spirits. After all, he was young and an Extraordinary.Although his sister had already arrived, he hadn't adjusted from the pleasant activities, and said in a slightly casual tone:

"What is it, dear Irena?"

"Be careful of encountering a witch." Irena reminded angrily.

Clovis touched his stubble-protruding chin, and took this sentence as a compliment: "With your brother and my family background and charm, it is not surprising that a few witches will come over, don't worry, you are here , which Extraordinary with evil intentions dare to approach?"

"You're wrong. The witch's plan, other than your money and connections, is only your Extraordinary characteristics."

After Irena retorted lightly, she took out a gold-plated letter from her sleeve, and the wax was torn off:

"Our relatives in Ruen wrote back, and that Miss Hall agreed to our invitation, and will go to Intis in a few days. Brother, all the travel and normal passenger transportation between the two countries have been stopped now. What do we need to use?" How to arrange for Miss Hall to come over?"

"Yes? Let me see."

His eyes lit up, he quickly took the letter from his younger sister, and couldn't wait to read it.

After reading, he smiled, and without thinking, he immediately reached out and patted the doorknob of the door behind him:

"It doesn't matter if the ships and trains are out of service. Can't your sealed item create a simple passage to where you want to go? It's safe and hidden. Using that to take Miss Hall over won't be a problem." OK."

It's okay that he didn't say this, but as soon as he said it, Irena's expression became a little complicated.

"You know too little about extraordinary, brother."

She had no choice but to explain to her elder brother: "That sealed item can indeed allow me to go to other places, but the premise must be the area where the coordinates of the spirit world have been established." If the coordinates are not established in advance, there will probably be Deviations of varying degrees, even sending me straight to the church of a foreign god."

"According to your idea, I have to take that sealed item to Miss Hall's house, and then use ritual magic to establish coordinates on a certain door in her house, and then open the door to return to my room. Isn't that more dangerous? Yet?"

"Is there such a request?" Clovis froze for a moment, then nodded, "Then I really shouldn't suggest that."

"Besides—as you know, this sealed item originally belonged to the Abraham family, a high-sequence Extraordinary who died in the mutiny of His Excellency the 'Saint of Mystery'. After opening the door three times, the fourth time It will randomly send me to a dangerous place, if I can't survive in it for more than 10 minutes, and open the door to come back, it will not be considered a pass..."

Having said that, Irena glanced at it with a half-smile:
"The previous few times, I hired wild Extraordinary people to enter the door to help me offset the danger this time. If they can come back alive, they can take everything they get from the door. If they can't get out, I will give you Some monetary compensation for those who left their names.”

"To be honest, it's a dangerous time again. Now the wild Extraordinary in Intis has basically been recruited by the church, and I can't hire anyone, brother, if you are really confident in your charm, go outside Fish me a witch back."

Clovis smiled wryly:
"Don't embarrass me. If you encounter a witch, when you rescue her, either she will run away or I will die."

Then, he cleared his throat, re-entered the state of talking about business, and asked again:
"Then, how can Miss Hall come over?"

"A Sequence 5 came to us. Whether this matter is big or small, I will find a way." Irena didn't stay on this topic for too long, and the foreign Sequence 5 cannot be ignored. , but don't take it too seriously, "By the way, there are two things I want to tell you. The first thing is that a branch of the Abraham family is going back to Intis and is going to give priority to contacting the Church of the God of Mysteries."

"Abraham..."

What a nostalgic last name.

The Montemar family has never been a demigod. Although it is a marquis family that is related to the royal family, because their ancestors failed in the competition for the throne, they have long deviated from the political center, and their surname is no longer Sauron.

200 years ago, they belonged to a great aristocrat with no great power and no real power.Although the title is not high enough, there is more than one demigod, among which Benjamin Abraham is even called the "Four Horsemen" by Russell Gustav. The Abraham family is completely incomparable.

When Roselle was crowned emperor, these ex-emperor relatives who had escaped by changing their surnames even had to salute the Abrahams.

Afterwards, the Abraham family declined rapidly after the demigod and Roselle died, and once again dispersed to the countries of the Northern Continent to hide their names. The branch that remained in Intis did not end well.

Decades ago, two traitors killed some members and took away a lot of sealed items, and they were almost devastated.

As one of the families that once made trouble for Abraham, and thinking that the current Creator Church and the former Aurora Society still retain the Extraordinary characteristics and sealed items snatched from the Abraham family, and reuse the "Holy One of Secrets", Clovis I don't think it's surprising that the Abraham family has made the choice now.

At the same time, he didn't care at all whether the Abraham family would retaliate against them, but nodded calmly:
"Understood, is there anything I need to pay attention to?"

"It's nothing, just let you restrain the others and don't conflict with the Abraham family."

Irene took the letter from Clovis, folded it up again, and said a really big news:

"The church is discussing something recently. Maybe you don't know it yet, but the council should receive the news soon."

"Church, I mean two churches. As you know, the Church of the God of Mysteries has always been very interested in improving people's livelihood and social system."

Irena hesitated to speak, and remained silent for two seconds, looking at her brother.

Clovis looked at his sister's expression and asked tentatively, "...Is there any institutional improvement? For example, re-establishing the law?"

"No, much bigger than that..."

Seeing that her brother really couldn't figure it out, Irena could only sigh: "The Church of the God of Mystery proposed that in order to further liberate the means of production and productivity, they are going to take this opportunity to completely abolish nobility and titles throughout the country, and legally eliminate the privileged class. "

"Abolish the title?!" Clovis could barely control his voice, and he said in astonishment, "This, this! How is this possible?! Did the church agree! There are no nobles, who will restrain the commoners, who will give the church Time to donate!"

"It's a pity, brother, the Lord has allowed it."

"Nobles have existed since the Fourth Epoch. We have inherited the blood of a great existence. We are naturally noble. How can we work with ordinary people?! We have accumulated wealth from generation to generation! The status and popularity accumulated from generation to generation are just handed over to other people?!"

Irena closed her eyes and shook her head:

"The Lord's oracle—'Whether humble or noble, you are all my believers'. Then since it is all about high and low, why should there be distinctions between high and low? Therefore, we accepted the proposal of the Mystery Church. "

"This, how is this possible?!"

"You don't accept it?"

She looked sharply at Clovis, waiting for the heir's answer.

Clovis was suddenly startled by her eyes and lost his voice.

"Ah... ah—"

Her elder brother opened his mouth wide, showing an expression of astonishment or even horror, his chest heaving violently.And there were some slight shouts from the door behind him, as if the woman who heard his shouts was awakened.

And Clovis didn't pay any attention to those voices. He stared at his sister's golden eyes, and saw only light and peace in them. He didn't feel grateful for the family's cultivation, nor did he show mercy to his relatives.

But he suddenly realized something, and suddenly, he figured everything out.

After the tsunami, the total population of Intis dropped sharply to more than 100 million people, and the survival rate of nobles protected by Extraordinary people and the church was even higher.

The population proportion of nobles has rapidly increased several times, but they cannot provide multiple anchors and value!
Completely abolish the nobility and title system, and take away their wealth. The church is showing favor to the common people and attracting more believers!

"—praise the Lord, praise this, this, great decision."

Clovis immediately made the cross on his chest, cold sweat rolled down one by one, but he has recovered his normal thinking ability, and his speech has become smooth: "I am willing, willing to follow God's footsteps! I am willing to donate Donate one-tenth of the family property to the church, donate the family's two villas in the suburbs of Trier, and part of the bank's shares... As long as this is what God expects, I have no complaints!"

"Only a tenth?"

Clovis choked, the cold sweat rolling down his forehead faster.He knew that now was the time to cut off his tail to survive, but he had already promised the church a property worth nearly 100 million gold louis at one time, and he really couldn't bid more.

Irena also understood his thoughts and sighed:
"A tenth is a lot. You are safe, brother."

She took out a perfumed handkerchief from her pocket, handed it to Clovis, and asked him to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead, then made the cross on his chest, and said softly: "Don't tell anyone about this, brother , a formal bill will be announced in Parliament for a week."

Irena took half a step closer, and whispered in her brother's ear by passing the handkerchief:

"You are now on our side, remember to put aside your status as a nobleman for a while, go for a walk in the city...do what priests and missionaries should do...remember to go to the church to pray and donate, go a few more times , also go to send some military expenses to War Red..."

"When the time comes, you may have the opportunity to eliminate those nobles who are unwilling to give up their titles."

Clovis looked at her sister's face in surprise, but Irene just shook her head, whispered a prayer for him, and was about to leave.

"...I will expand the factory and provide more jobs. Well, I will find another opportunity this week to participate in engineering construction."

There was an ugly smile on Clovis's pale face, his hands were tightly clutching his sister's sleeves, his words were erratic and hasty, no one could understand the horror and ruthlessness of the gods better than those who had personally experienced the battle of the gods, before life, Title, status, wealth are nothing.

He knew that his first reaction when he heard the news just now was absolutely unqualified.

If he was notified in this way suddenly, he might be directly judged as impious and disloyal... Clovis felt scared when he thought about it, and said in a tone of grabbing a life-saving straw:

"Irena, dear, you are the real wealth of our family, the real guarantee..."

749
The day is getting brighter.

The treacherous "Seer" and "thief" each had their own guilty consciences. From the thrilling night just now, until the sun rose again after more than an hour, no one spoke again.

During the third hour of silence, Klein broke the awkward atmosphere:

"You shouldn't have said that."

It's no use praying that God doesn't hear, and now both of our lives may be dying.

Amon chuckled twice, and said with a dry smile, "No, dear Mr. Fool, it's you who shouldn't bring up things related to the real Creator."

Don't forget to kill me at this time?

Klein was momentarily surprised at how confident the other party was as his avatar, and also sneered:

"Great 'Angel of Time', respected 'God of Mischief', 'Origin Castle's current owner', if you don't forcibly parasitize me, don't take me outside Moon City, and take the initiative to chat with me, I will How can I have this opportunity to talk to you about the real Creator? By the way, your clothes are really unique, is it your favorite style?"

Swish, the Moon City-style animal skin equipment on Amon's body has become Amon's standard soft pointed hat and wizard robe.

He adjusted his monocle, and seemed to regard arguing with Klein as a simple and effortless entertainment: "As I said, it was your ancient secrets that made me interested, so I asked you, But you don't have to answer me, can you?"

Klein couldn't hold back anymore:
"Does your dad know that you'd rather argue than admit that you're doing something wrong?"

Amon paused for a second without speaking.Klein observed him until now, and found that only when the ancient sun god was mentioned, Amon would have some relatively humane reactions, otherwise Klein's impression of him would only be "disgusting".

"...Of course He knows, otherwise, how could the title 'God of Mischief' be spread among believers?"

Amon said seemingly unintentionally.

The atmosphere suddenly became heavy, and Klein stopped talking.He can tease and even provoke Amon without burden, but it is difficult to evaluate Amon when talking about the ancient sun god.It can be said that even Klein didn't know what attitude to make towards the ancient Sun God——a real fellow, a complete fellow, but Klein knew only the real Creator.

The ancient sun god seems to be just a distant shadow, like a famous figure who has never met but is familiar in the history books.

"Actually, I have also thought about the possibility you mentioned."

Amon moved the subject, probably because he didn't want to bring up the scars of the past repeatedly—he would always show a human-like emotion at such times, but Klein couldn't believe it completely, after all, he was also The God of Deceit—he just thought about it, and said:

"But to be honest, I don't understand the difference, and I can't think of a reason for him to do so."

"Because I am a born mythical creature."

"I really want to understand my father's thinking, understand the thinking of human beings, but I tried, but I can't do it, so I don't do it."

For the ancient Sun God, being gradually covered by the will of "God" was a terrifying thing like death, but for Amon, His will was divinity, and the instinct of the way, and the nature of the "Lord of Mysteries" There is a certain similarity, can't understand the kind of death at the consciousness level that human beings fear?
Klein frowned, a little in disbelief. He couldn't believe that the mythical creature didn't have the idea of ​​"fear of death" at all.

He decided to temporarily forget what Amon said.

But Amon asked him again:
"So, what you said is really the truth about 'Rose of Redemption'?"

Klein thought for a while, and then nodded silently.

Amon stopped talking and moved forward with one heart and one mind.

While talking, he and Amon had already traveled a long distance, crossing many ruins and the skeletons of incredible large beasts. Only the corpses and severely weathered stone buildings remained, showing the excitement that this place once had.

Beyond the city-state is a barren wilderness that cannot see the edge even under the lightning.

"Well, I wanted to take you somewhere."

Klein didn't speak, and Amon felt bored, so he changed the subject again: "That's an interesting place, but you mentioned that guy, so I dare not take you there now."

"Where?" Klein asked curiously.

Amon opened his mouth and showed a smile:
"It's an ancient ruin, a wonderful building. It probably came from a civilization long, long ago. I wanted to find some history, but I didn't dare to go near it. It is also the place where my father appeared in the legend, and that guy is now s position."

"My father called it Chernobyl."
