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

Chapter 527 Sudden Improvement

806
The imaginary checkpoint on the border of Feneport was quickly breached by the visiting demigods. In just a few minutes, the priests of the Thunder Church, dressed in dark blue and dark black robes embroidered with silver thread patterns, entered Feneport. Potter's land.

Someone tried to wave a weapon to resist, but was knocked down by lightning when he raised his hand.

The leading archbishop made a gesture, and the "punishers" who stayed in the mainland filed out and took over the checkpoint.They played the usual speed and efficiency of the Thunder Church, and gathered all the residents of this checkpoint and the border city behind to the square at an extremely fast speed, no matter whether they were crying or not, or were unconscious Grab the relics of your loved ones and chant the honorable name of the Mother Goddess.

"From now on."

The archbishop stepped onto the high platform built of three wooden boxes, looked down at the hundreds of people below, and said loudly: "The Kingdom of Fenepot will be merged into the territory of the Loen Empire, and you will all become the people protected by the great God of Thunder. !"

When it comes to issues of national sovereignty and beliefs, the residents below responded immediately.More than one person looked up and looked at the archbishop standing at the top with astonished and angry eyes. A young man in the crowd uttered angrily:

"You are lying! How could our kingdom suddenly merge into your country!"

"Didn't you Loen just annex Lunburg and Segar with despicable means? This is an invasion! Now you are going to extend your claws to the fertile land guarded by the Mother Goddess!"

His words were echoed by many people, and there was a small commotion in the crowd.

Someone tried to touch the weapon, but was immediately controlled by the surrounding Beyonders of the Church of Thunder.After being suppressed, most of them stared wide-eyed at the lightning that emerged from the priests, feeling fear and uneasiness about the unknown divine power.

The archbishop easily found the young man who was speaking from the crowd, and the young man was not afraid when he was discovered, but puffed out his chest.The corner of the archbishop's mouth curled up slightly. He just needed such a person to oppose him, so that the conversation could be fruitful.

Besides, the policy given by the church this time is appeasement and gentleness, but thunderous means are indispensable.To put it simply, it is necessary to be gentle with these new citizens, show their benevolence as those in power, and not be stingy with using fear and strength to make these people submit—as a person who gritted his teeth for status and jumped from "storm" to " "Reader" Extraordinary who made great sacrifices and caused supercilious glances. Of course, the archbishop hopes that he can do things beautifully. This is a brand new land. The better it is cultivated, the higher he will climb in the future.

"No, you are wrong, young man."

The archbishop smiled, and said with the most amiable smile and the most gentle tone: "You have already been defeated, and now you are accepted by us as a defeated country, and you will soon become Ruen like those countries such as Lunburg and Segal. Two new counties of the Empire."

"impossible!"

This time, not only the young man, but even other people in the crowd couldn't help roaring.

"Our army has not yet dispatched!"

"Our king will not sit still! Mother loves us and will not let us surrender to a country like yours!"

The archbishop suddenly grasped a key word from the middle, and he repeated the sentence just now:
"Surrender? No, as I said, you are already defeated."

"Did it rain like thunder from the sky, turning everything around it into scorched earth?"

"That's the evidence that you've been defeated!" The archbishop couldn't hold back the smile in his heart. He scanned the expressions of fear or anger on the crowd below, and recorded their emotions in his eyes. Then, he slowed down his tone , said softly:

"That is the consequence of your disrespect to the God of Thunder and Truth."

"Dear new citizens of the Loen Empire, please remember that your current survival is obtained in exchange for your dead family members and friends. Your lives do not belong to you, but belong to Fenepot and Loen."

A young woman's voice came, and she stood out from the crowd and said angrily: "Sir, the God of Thunder killed my fiancé, my mother and his father. And even if we don't believe in the God of Thunder, we would I have never acted disrespectful to the gods. Sir, since the god you believe in talks about defeat and death, why do we need to believe in such a cruel god?"

"Because he is the most powerful, he will protect you and me." The archbishop said kindly.

"And you haven't lost your faith."

The archbishop answered every question fluently, and he sneered in his heart, because nothing that happened so far was beyond his imagination—the people only wanted so much, life, family and wealth, as long as each one could get the promise , then the dissatisfaction of most people can be settled——"The Mother Earth will still be the belief of Fenepot, but you must add the holy emblem of the God of Thunder to your church, and your weekly During the worship service, add hymns to the God of Thunder."

"It is an unimaginably good thing to be favored by a powerful god."

The archbishop said in a meaningful tone.

At this moment, he felt something.

Looking up, I saw an airship taking off in the distance.

……

"You should have expected this to happen," Bethel said.

"You're right, I should have thought of it." Klein accepted humbly, immediately admitted his mistake, and then ran out from the fog of history while grabbing the thread of his spiritual body that was almost snatched away. A long sound came from the closed door. howling wolf.

"It seems that your plan to ask Antigonus to help attract Cottard has failed." Bethel was always blocked by the attitude of a good boy like Klein, so he couldn't say anything more provocative, but he had to Said that it is very comfortable to get along with this kind of junior, "But don't worry, judging from the degree of gathering just now, Cottard probably has already come here, or the 'curtain' has already left Cottard."

Klein thought for a while, smoothed out the threads of his spiritual body, and said:

"The divination results show that Antigonus did not accommodate a Sequence One in the short term, which means that he is now strengthening himself with the historical projection of the past."

After all, we are all in adjacent paths. There is not much difference between "horoscope" and "divination" in essence. They both use various means or information. Only the medium and method of obtaining information are different. Klein has also mastered this skill at present.

Bethel is noncommittal:
"After he woke up, he was no longer the Antigonus I knew. Instead of thinking of helping each other with him, you should accept the reality and lower your vague moral bottom line, and wait for him to be killed by the God of War." Beat him to the brink of death before going."

He would not say anything like "This is also the end of Antigonus' pain", "Relieve him", "This is to protect the earth and mankind", these words are all nonsense, nonsense.As long as it is not requested by the other party, no matter how extravagant the killing is, it is just a righteous self-deception.

This is completely unnecessary for high-sequences, because the confrontation between adjacent pathways and their respective ambitions to become gods have prepared them the best reason to fight, even if they were strangers, friends, teachers, and brothers before. You can challenge each other for your own goals.

"I want to be a god, and you want to be a god, so we have to have a battle."——This is absolutely correct.

"I will be a good god, but you are not a good person, you will only become a bad god, so it is only natural for me to kill you..." - If such words are heard by the fourth era and the existence before, the gods And the laughter of all the angels can shake the star world a bit.

If you fight, you will fight, if you die, you will die. If you have something to say, you can talk about it after the fight, but it is unnecessary to show that you are more "correct".

Or, looking at it from another angle, modern humans have the desire to pursue morality while struggling to survive, which proves that society is also progressing.Well, if we really follow this point of view that "the virtuous and talented are the ones who occupy the position of the true god", all the seven people above have to come down, and then human beings themselves recommend the seven most moral and responsible people to sit on it—well, it’s down It is also a beautiful world worth reverie.

"I thought I could still cooperate with him," Klein said.

"You still want to be promoted in this path." Bethel directly expressed Klein's thoughts, "You don't want me now...my body to become a true god of dual paths, right? You are either jealous of me, or It’s because I don’t want to occupy my body and integrate my spiritual imprint.”

After a moment of silence, Klein smiled with relief.

Although he did not speak, such a reaction already explained everything.

"Good job."

Bethel said.

"That's how it should be, Klein Moretti, this is what you should do."

The King of Angels from the Fourth Epoch spoke:
"You should be afraid of me, fear me, and not give me any further opportunities, so as to ensure that your road to becoming a god will go smoothly in the future. Even if I show kindness and recognition of your dream, You also have to keep in mind—before you became a god and the lord of mysteries, I was also your enemy, and the most dangerous enemy, because I knew everything about you, your family and your weaknesses, and I was farther away from you than Amon It's closer, and you didn't guard against me——you finally have a bit of a look when you think about it now."

After finishing speaking, Bethel asked, "Then what are you going to do next?"

……

Backlund.

It was past eight o'clock in the evening, but Starling Summer was still sitting by the window, unable to fall asleep.

During the day, she also wore a veil as always, and kept running back and forth at nearby food distribution points, queuing up, in order to bring back more bread for the two children at home.She no longer bows her head frequently as she did in the past few months, fearing that others will recognize her.Now, she can only look forward anxiously, worrying that the free food will be distributed before it is her turn.

She got nothing during the day today, and her husband Luke also got nothing.

The daily relief bread is their latest source of food. Only when they get new bread that day, will they eat the remaining dry and hard bread.At the dinner table, two children who are not familiar with the world always ask their parents "Why is there no beef?" "Why is there no juice?" "Why is there only a little jam?" Eat more, but their problems are always sad.Parents can only force their faces to laugh and find all kinds of reasons to prevaricate their children.

Luke came over, his face was much thinner:

"Sleep, dear."

Tomorrow morning I have to get up very early to grab bread.

Starling sighed: "Luke, I can't sleep, I haven't eaten all day, and I can't even drink water."

Luke also sighed, didn't say anything, just sat down on the sofa next to his wife silently.

Not long after the Coim Company was taken over by the military due to wartime acts, her husband, Luke Summer, a one-time manager, was out of a job and had to support the family on past savings and government handouts.

Seeing his wife's hopeful gaze, this burly man with a messy beard lowered his head in shame.

The night was getting deeper, and it was unclear whether it was sleepiness or hunger. Starling's consciousness gradually blurred, and she fell asleep drowsily leaning on her husband's shoulder.But she hadn't fallen asleep yet, vaguely, she seemed to hear gunshots echoing in the distance, and she didn't know whether it was someone who was frantically hungry or the police who were dealing with food snatchers.

Let's end... This nightmare should end quickly... Starling, who has gone to three relief sites today, prayed silently.

She wanted to escape such gunshots and closed her eyes tightly.

At this moment, a loud shout suddenly came from outside the window:

"The Church of the God of Thunder bought a lot of food!"

"Citizens, please go to the snack distribution point as soon as possible!"

"Bread, corn, and potatoes for the population!"

This loud shout was enough to wake everyone up, and more importantly, the sound was carried far, far with the wind.

Starling woke up suddenly, her eyes burst out with unprecedented brilliance, she looked up at the starless sky, and then looked at her husband's face, and found that the other party was looking at her, the thin face was unbelievable surprise.

"Luke! Luke! Did you hear that!"

Starling jumped up and ran to the drying rack like the wind, and hurriedly began to put on her clothes and flat boots that were convenient for running:

"The church brought the food!"

Luke still hesitated: "But we are believers of the goddess..."

"No! It doesn't matter which church it is, God is willing to give me food!" Starling said loudly. She left her husband who was still hesitant, put her coat over her nightgown, and quickly walked out of the bedroom.

As soon as she opened the door, two children in the family rushed over. They were wearing pajamas, raised their innocent faces and said:
"Mom, I just heard it was said that bread was distributed?"

"Mom, I'm hungry..."

They are a pair of twins, a boy and a girl, and they are both cute.

With a sore nose, Starling forced a smile and said:
"Correct!"

"Mom will get it for you now."

She then entered the house, dug out a small amount of bread from a hidden place, and divided it among the two children.

Seeing the two children eating the bread with no regard for etiquette, Starling's expression kept changing, sometimes sad and sometimes painful.

In the end, all these emotions turned into seriousness and anticipation. She put on her hat in a hurry, and as soon as she opened the door, she found that the neighbors around her also opened the door one after another. look.

"Why did the church suddenly distribute a large amount of bread?!"

Starling ran after the others regardless of her image, mixed into the stream-like crowd, and shouted at her acquaintances.

"I don't know!" The lady lifted her skirt, and she seemed to have just emerged from the bed, but her voice was filled with a smile, "I heard that the bread came from abroad—who knew! Praise the God of Thunder! "

"Praise the God of Thunder!"
