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

784
"He said yes," Edward said.

The demon of knowledge still stared at the Southern Continent, casually nibbling melon seeds: "Oh, he is willing to become the door? Is he sure? If he is sure, I will immediately ask my subordinates to summon the members of the Abraham family to prepare for the summoning ceremony."

That's what it said, but the demon of knowledge didn't intend to move at all, and didn't even send out a torrent of knowledge.

And in the induction of the two gods, the high-level members of the Abraham family—on the premise that there are no angels, no, not even demigods, a few Sequence 7s have already constituted the entire vitality of the Abraham family—after the incident of the "Holy One of Secrets" and Mr. X, almost no one is training students anymore.These people gathered together, within a straight line distance of two kilometers from the Mystery Cathedral.

But now, there are demigods and angels stationed in the mysterious cathedral, and two kilometers is just an instant for them.

"By the way, what did you do just now?"

"Ask my son to travel to the stars, but he doesn't want to, so I persuade him." Edward replied, "But he still doesn't want to."

……

Edward looked at Traynor, who was grabbed by the back collar of his destiny, and sighed: "My good boy, not only do you not want to go with me, but you also want to help? I'm not afraid that a flash of lightning will split your small body into pieces, and I'm afraid that your father and I will not be alone on the road? - Forget it, let me change the question. If you leave me at this time, it is equivalent to breaking away from my protection. Even so, you still want to go?"

Traynor poked his neck, and after a while, gritted his teeth and said:

"I'm going."

"If you really make up your mind, then I will not save you." Edward said, "Even if you are in danger, I will use my attitude to prove to others that you are no longer under my protection."

Trainor only hesitated for half a second: "No problem."

"The boy with the elbow turned out."

Hearing this, Edward casually uttered some old-world slang, though Trainor didn't understand a word.He didn't let go of his hand, but his expression had returned to his usual expressionless expression, as if he didn't take this answer seriously.

He looked at Trainor: "Even if you might be hacked to death on the way?"

"I will pass through the spirit world and live as long as possible."

Treinor said briefly and quickly, and when he noticed that his father was showing signs of letting go, he immediately became serious, "This is my personal behavior, so I will not bring the army and church members with me, so I can use the sealed artifacts to appear on the scene! You are right, I can't intervene in angel-level battles, and I will die in vain if I appear on such a battlefield... But this is not a question of tactics and strategy, but I can't turn a blind eye! I want to help, just for my own inner satisfaction. If you just take me away, I will never be able to let go bosom."

Edward thought for a while and was noncommittal:
"What is the goal of your promotion so far?"

"What?" Traynor was taken aback.

Edward didn't repeat the question a second time, and Trainor quickly figured out the purpose of the question while he was anxious for time.He thought for a moment, and said as calmly as possible:

"In the beginning, I worked hard to become Sequence 4 in order to preserve some of my influence and status and not be purged by the family....Although I can't say that I have any deep feelings with those clansmen who died, I still can't completely get rid of the shackles of blood."

"Afterwards, the church and the council repeatedly launched troubles. I thought about running away with Charles, so I chose to be promoted again."

If it is difficult to stay in Trier, retaining the status of aristocrats and family members of the steam family, but you have to suffer ridicule, humiliation, and stares... Then leave here, leave Intis, and send you to Bernadette who fled to the sea, so you should be happy again, right? ...But unfortunately, Shire, who did not become a demigod, died in depression and panic before that day came.

Thinking of this, Trainor couldn't help but click his tongue:
"His Royal Highness Red Angel also asked me if I wanted to be promoted to Sequence 2, but I didn't have any thoughts about it."

Edward looked at him, as if looking at something else.He suddenly let go of his hand, and helped him straighten his wrinkled collar by the way.

"Go," said He, "this is your way."

Treynor looked at his father in amazement. After confirming that the other party was really not a fishing law enforcement officer, he turned and ran, turning into a flame and disappearing directly into the corridor.

……

"that's it."

The demon of knowledge took a sip of tea unhurriedly, and did not comment on this little episode.

Edward didn't intend to say more about this. He looked at the mansion where the Abraham family temporarily lived within his vision, saw what the demon of knowledge was thinking, and said with a smile:
"What if Klein doesn't agree?"

"He doesn't agree, and I'm going to bring Bethel Abraham down." The Demon of Knowledge said calmly, "After seeing Klein with my own eyes, I'm sure that Klein might also be a secretive person with a great personality, but Bethel is the most suitable ally for me."

"Even if Bethel Abraham is unwilling, he will still be grateful when he sees me protecting the last bloodline of the Abraham family. I don't need a comrade in arms to advance and retreat together. I only need a secret that can open the seal and not hinder me."

The demon of knowledge felt that his requirements were already very low.

It's a good thing that Klein values ​​affection and righteousness, but the way he swings between kindness and kindness is too human.

"If the current situation can force him to make a choice, that's the best. But no matter whether he has a choice or not, and what he chooses, I will put Bethel Abraham back, add fuel to the current farce, and..."

The demon of knowledge looked to the north, holding a red bead like a walnut in his hand.

"...Try to lure them."

Edward looked at the goji berries and longan in his teacup, at the uniqueness of the moon and a walnut that grew abnormally large due to the influence of uniqueness in his hand, and at the carvings on the chair that this man was sitting on.

"I think you are a bit biased." He said sincerely, "Why don't you eat a few people from the Northern Continent to change your style?"

The demon of knowledge glanced at him and said nothing. He flicked his fingers, and a message turned into a light belt and floated into the distance, notifying the Abraham family to start preparations.And He stood up, preparing to personally prepare the ceremony at the Zenith Square of the Mysterious Cathedral.

In the second ring area of ​​Trier, in an official residence with a garden that belonged to the Abraham family more than 200 years ago.

The only few Sequence 7 Extraordinary members of the Abraham family gathered here.

"...that's how it is."

Dorian Gray fully described the things related to Mr. "Gate" that the student Forsi told: "Years of exile and sealing have made the ancestor go crazy, and he can only regain consciousness occasionally. Even if he talks directly to him, he still has to bear the malice of polluting the spirit."

A man wearing gold-rimmed glasses who looked like a university professor sighed:
"So that's how it is..."

There was a little relief in his expression, as if he could finally admit that the family curse came from the ancestor's call for help.

After a second pause, the man said with determination:
"We have to find a way to help the ancestor get out of trouble, so that the curse on us will be completely eliminated."

"Verdu, are you crazy? Letting a crazy king of angels return will destroy the whole family!" Dorian couldn't help but reprimanded the other party.

The man named Verdu glanced at the rest of the family members, lowered his face and said:
"Therefore, we must return to the real world as soon as possible, while the ancestor is still partially conscious!"

"Once he is out of the state of being exiled and sealed, He who still has enough anchors will definitely gradually regain his sanity."

"Dorian, you have fallen! You no longer want to restore the glory of the family and let us return to the top of the North and South Continents. You only want to live a stable but mediocre life! Besides, do you think we still have room to refuse? The church of the sage and the God of Knowledge acquiesces in our surrender. Could it be that he cares about our Sequence 7s? What the church wants is information about our ancestors!"

"If we don't hand it over, maybe the sage will give us up too! At that time, who else can accept and protect us?"

Yes, they have asked more than once about the ritual of summoning the ancestors...

Dorian was silent for a few seconds and said:

"But the risk in this regard is definitely lower than helping the ancestors get out of trouble. The sage gave us shelter at the beginning, so that we can avoid the torture of the full moon. During this period, if I am not too young, I have the confidence to take the magic medicine and become the 'Recorder' of Sequence 6."

This kind of behavior directly attracted the hearts of almost everyone in the Abraham family, and the torture that accompanied the blood was too painful.

Verdu's eyes brightened, and he pursued the victory:

"Me too. Dorian, even if it's like this, if you give me a while, I still have a good chance of being promoted."

"Since elders like you who are beyond the optimal age are fine, as long as we can get shelter and lift the curse, our next generation, the next generation, will definitely be able to get rid of the original restrictions and have the opportunity to push the door of demigods."

Hearing these words, the two men and two women other than Dorian nodded slightly in agreement.

Even Dorian hesitated for a moment, but he still didn't think a mad king of angels was something they could guess.

Seeing that Verdu's face was not very good, Dorian slowed down and said:

"What's more, we don't have the strength to complete that ceremony at all. No matter which way the demigods are, they are not easy to deal with. Among them, the demigods corresponding to the 'Seer' and 'Thief' all use cunning, weird , are known to be dangerous, even if we are willing to sacrifice ourselves and use level '0' sealed items, it will be difficult to catch them."

Verdu pushed down the gold-rimmed glasses, exhaled slowly and said:

"If that existence is willing to help and help the ancestor get out of trouble, that is the best development, but before that, I will try my best to prepare the ceremony, Dorian, you must remember that the blood and glory of the Abraham family come from the ancestor, without him, there would be no us."

While speaking, his gaze swept across the ancient, luxurious and stylish mural decoration in the conference hall of the mansion. The Abraham family used to live here, enjoying power and status, as well as their proud demigods.

It was an unforgettable honor.

"If this matter requires a victim, then I will take it."

After speaking, he stood up, put on his top hat, and prepared to leave the conference hall.

Dorian watched him go, and sighed for a long time:
"Verdu has been studying various mystical materials, hoping to find a way to completely solve the family curse. I think such persistence has been integrated into his blood..."

The rest of the Abraham family members nodded one after another and said:
"After he confirms that he can't complete the ceremony, he should give up..."

They vaguely hope that Verdu can succeed, but they feel that this is almost impossible.

But as soon as Verdu opened the door, a torrent of information roared into the garden of Abraham's mansion. In the garden, he turned into a gray face, wearing an old-fashioned wizard robe, and a middle-aged man whose hair gradually changed from pure white to black from the root to the tip. He squinted his eyes and looked at the location of the conference hall, Verdu who pushed the door out, and suddenly said:
"The Lord asks you to go to the Mystery Cathedral immediately."

After seeing the appearance of the person who came, several Abrahams looked at each other in surprise and doubt, and Dorian boldly said, "Your Highness..."

"Don't ask me, I'm busy, I'm only responsible for taking you away."

The old and impatient angel waved his hand, and the data immediately engulfed them and flew up involuntarily, heading straight from the spirit world to the Mysterious Cathedral.On the way, he stingily said a few more words:
"The Lord will recall your ancestors, all you have to do is to ensure the accuracy of the ceremony."

"If it weren't for the importance of this matter, I wouldn't come to pick you up in person!"

boom!
Huge fireworks exploded in everyone's minds, and the Abrahams who were caught traveling through the spirit world looked at each other, almost unable to believe what they heard.

Even Verdu, who just decided to recall the ancestor, is now dumbfounded, and his gold-rimmed glasses are all crooked to one side.

785
"Your probability of becoming a 'gate'..."

"Does it even need to be said?"

The smile on Outer God's face didn't move a bit:
"Of course [-] percent."

After finishing speaking, he looked at the same unchanged expression on Klein's face, and said what was in their hearts:

"Probability of promotion is of course nonsense, as long as you think about it, you will not fail. But if you are asking about you—the success rate of Klein Moretti's promotion, rather than the 'secret successor', then your probability is frighteningly low. The day before yesterday you became Sequence Two, today you are preparing to become a god, and you cross Sequence One... But why don't you listen to what you are talking about? Aren't you very worried about losing your humanity and carefully protecting it so far?"

"I can still make this choice, which means my humanity is still alive."

Klein closed his eyes, his face showed reluctance, but he still said seriously:

"In communicating with you, the demon of knowledge, and other mythological creatures, I realized that the 'humanity' that was forcibly preserved will eventually be alienated into the impression of playing, playing myself, and playing the believer...Since this is the case, I can judge whether I am Klein Moretti from my actions, instead of just standing here confident that I am still me, and worrying about what I will lose when I get promoted here."

"As long as my goals haven't changed, as long as my beliefs remain the same, then I'm still Cline Moretti."

"Then what then?" Outer God asked, "After becoming a 'gate', what do you plan to do?"

"I--"

Klein quickly thought about what he could do, and suddenly realized that if he became a true god, many problems would be solved directly!Although the premise is that He is still him at that time... But, if he really possesses the power of the "door"...

"The curse of the Abraham family can be lifted!"

"Forsi can no longer be tortured by the ravings of the full moon..."

"My believers, Silver City and Moon City will have the fastest movement speed and the protection of a true god. I may have a certain ability to protect them from the threat of Amon, even if it is just a little more..."

"I can also take this opportunity to find out what 'Yellow Light Venetan' means when the curse is lifted is the beginning of the disaster."

A series of benefits flashed through his mind, and he was instantly inspired.

"...But, Bethel Abraham, will he also die because of my promotion?"

Klein hesitated for a moment.From his point of view, Bethel Abraham is a completely innocent person, without any conflict or hatred with himself, and in a sense, he is also one of his predecessors on the road of "becoming the lord of mysteries".Pollution should not be his purpose. "Wandering the Starry Sky" may be a promotion ceremony of the "gate" path, and he will inevitably be polluted in the process-the cry for help has become a curse for the descendants. This matter will make people desperate if it is placed on anyone.

It is absolutely impossible to say that Bethel Abraham does not want to compete for the Lord of the Mysteries at all... However, it is really hard to imagine that in the Fourth Epoch, Antigonus, Bethel, Zara Zoroaster, and Amon, the powerhouses of these adjacent pathways could actually get together.

Klein thought about it in a daze.

Sequence promotion is not just a game, when you choose a path, your enemies and friends have already been determined.When you are determined to go to the highest level of this path, all people with lofty ideals in the adjacent path are enemies, even friends...

After making the decision to gradually lose his humanity, Klein found that another hurdle he encountered was that he couldn't make up his mind to kill an innocent competitor.

"The way you sway from side to side annoys me. Even though you're already in Sequence Two, you're still so indecisive."

A voice suddenly rushed into his mind, and the demon of knowledge said impatiently:
"I can give you a chance. If you have the ability, let Him give up suicide and accept my resurrection."

"It just so happens that He resists communicating with all non-human beings, including gods. Maybe you have some common language with Him. Of course, if you are eaten by Him, then I will bring Bethel Abraham back to Earth."

Klein was refreshed, and just about to speak, he heard the second sentence from the demon of knowledge.

"Since you decide to accept my conditions now, listen carefully. I only have two requests: First, I hope to open the seal of the Western Continent on the eve of the end. Second, I want to kill the God of Thunder, and you are not allowed to help him."

Klein was silent for a moment, and he turned his head to look at the distant sky, but he saw nothing except the cloudy sky:

"... Regarding the second clause, I accept your terms."

"Because, now I also have people who want to help. Not only Richard Ernst, but also people in the highlands. I help them fight this crisis and resist the attack of the God of Thunder, but I will not shelter them. They don't need to believe in me, and they can continue to live like this."

The demon of knowledge paused for a second, and then, the impatience in his tone disappeared and he became a little more amiable.

"Then, our contract is established."

Klein felt something in his heart, quickly raised his head, and looked towards the sky.

In an instant, countless stars lit up in the sky one after another, forming a huge star image that covered the entire sky—then, starlight sprinkled like crumbs, forming a bridge leading to the sky in front of Klein, like the grandest fireworks.

"My God!"

On the beach, everyone in the Land Abandoned by God who was preparing tables, chairs and food was all stunned. They opened their mouths wide, looked at the vast stars and countless mysterious patterns in the sky, and excitedly asked the people around them:

"Is this the sky outside? It's so beautiful!"

"These stars are very similar to those recorded in ancient books? Do they have any other names in the outside world?"

And Danitz who was asked also opened his mouth wide, and stared at the sky together with Alger in a daze. After being pushed by the people around him, he could only stammer and say:

"This, this is a rare sight for the outside world!"

"You guys are so lucky, I've never seen it before... Don't ask, don't ask me! Have you seen the 'Future' over there? They specialize in studying astrology, you go ask them!"

Alger looked at Cattleya, but saw that the crew on the "Future" kept silent in unison. Cattleya even lowered her head and closed her eyes, as if she was praying.

Is this...

Alger's mind was shocked, and he immediately scanned his surroundings. Sure enough, he didn't see the spiritual brilliance of "The World"!
"Sure enough..." He seemed to have understood something.

in the jungle.

This scene seemed familiar. Klein looked at the Starlight Stairway and the bridge in front of him, feeling very shocked, as if he had returned to the day when Cattleya came to pick him up at the port when he was still Gehrman Sparrow.

But immediately, there was a realization in his heart:
This is not the same path, but the demon of knowledge is announcing to the gods of the Northern Continent in this extremely high-profile way——

"Klein Moretti has become the 'Lord of Mysteries' recommended by me!"

In a state of shock, Klein stepped forward without much hesitation, stepping on the first starlight steps.

The next moment, his figure disappeared from the spot, and the light and stars in the sky disappeared, as if it was just an illusion.

Klein only felt that his field of vision was flooded by white light, and when the light dissipated, he found himself in the sky.

He is standing in the air, no, or it should be said that he is in the universe!
The world in front of his eyes is an endless black void, and in the void extending to infinity, there are countless large and small luminous stars, which emit faint and various colors of light, and these lights come from tens of light years, or even hundreds of light years away.

Klein couldn't help being horrified, and then, he saw the monster of knowledge standing not far away.All kinds of items in front of the god are placed into a mysterious magic circle, and a brush is constantly depicting the details of the summoning circle.

"Stand there."

Said the demon of knowledge.

Klein stood obediently, and then, he felt that his surroundings seemed to be rapidly turning red, and the red light fell on his surroundings from top to bottom. A line of sight seemed to fall from an extremely distant place, just happened to fall on him, and kept getting closer.

Just when Klein was puzzled and vigilant, the Demon of Knowledge in the distance took out a red ball from his sleeve.

He is not in a hurry, and the uniqueness of the "moon" is suspended in the palm of his hand, shining brightly.

In an instant, the light in the sky became chaotic and disorderly, alternating red and white. Klein didn't dare to look up, but felt that countless terrifying spiritual forces that seemed to tear him apart at any time were colliding rapidly above his head, and the stars on the sky were instantly shattered.

But then, the red light gradually faded, and the snow-white moonlight fell on Klein's back and sides. He felt something in his heart, but he didn't dare to look up.

Just when he was thinking about something, suddenly——

Hey.

There was a sound of footsteps behind him.

It seemed that someone had fallen from the sky and lightly stepped on the "ground" formed by the void, looking towards him.

TBC
------

Backlund, Hall's mansion.

Just when Audrey was about to arrive at the restaurant, she suddenly raised her head and saw a translucent figure floating there outside the window.

She stared at the figure, and felt that this translucent appearance was very familiar—it wasn't like a wraith or a dead spirit, but it was the first time she saw Forsi, who was still an "apprentice", cast her extraordinary ability, her body became translucent, and then passed through the wall.

apprentice?No, the Hall family is protected by Extraordinary beings, so those who come must be middle-sequence, or even higher.If Bishop Elektra in the Church of St. Selina did not respond, then the comer is most likely a demigod!

Audrey was thinking about the purpose of the other party's visit, but saw the other party draw a cross on his chest.

"Aurora Society..."

Madam Caitlin and Anne suddenly heard Audrey's calling, and they looked at her at the same time, but saw a pair of golden eyes. (end of this chapter)
