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

869
——The world war is going to be fought anyway, so why not do some blood sacrifices on the way.

Of course, the whole point of blood sacrifice is also one of the goals. The purpose is to make the current situation more chaotic and more suitable for one's own actions.After directly turning off the extraordinary ability of "future prediction", the decision made now suddenly becomes more worthy of repeated speculation.

However, Edward still has a relatively pessimistic attitude towards whether Medici can become the old man. The "Red Priest" can definitely do it, but... the "City of Disaster" is so offensive that it has also polluted the entire Bansi Island. The level of activation of Medici descendants will definitely not be low.

The Demon of Knowledge didn't mention much about the situation of other Sefirot incarnations in the Western Continent, but the Sefirot, which symbolizes disaster, war and power, will naturally receive a large number of worshipers and followers.

Maybe it has become Him, but it is too restricted here and is inconvenient to move around.

The same goes for "Key of Light". They started fighting each other in the first era or even earlier to the fifth episode. As a result, the two angels of "Destiny Path" can't even accommodate their uniqueness. It's hard to figure out what is the hint of destiny. , or someone has begun to control destiny behind the scenes.

Although the closer to the time when the barrier is broken, the spirit inside the source material becomes weaker, but Medici was unable to accommodate the other party with the help of the ancient sun god at first, and it is even less certain now.He should know very well whether he can win or not.

If there is a big enough disaster and war that matches the symbol of "City of Disaster", then it may also be able to "summon" or even further activate the opponent. Medici is like a mirror in his heart. He knows that he wants to What he was thinking about was not only how to fight this battle and how to win it, but also how to defeat the "City of Disaster" if he really won the battle and became the "Red Priest".

"The more I think about it, the more trouble it becomes..." Red Angel gritted his teeth in embarrassment.

To win this battle, he must first become the military leader of the Fusac Empire, which is not too difficult.

Secondly, he has to find a way to win the help of the "Demon of Knowledge". Considering the other party's long-standing hostility towards Leodro, this can also be done. Then the final question is, if Leodro is possessed by Knowledge If the monster is entangled, how can I, as an angel with one or two Sequence One attributes, defeat Rune's army during this period of time?

"The emperor of Loen... he is also the incarnation of the source of matter, right?" Medici glanced at Ourolius, "There is something wrong with his fate."

Ourolius nodded slowly.

"The world today is really scary. Incarnations of the source of essence appear one after another. With your status, I really don't know what the meaning of our promotion is." Medici sighed casually, and his words were a bit depressing, but I had never thought about giving up. "If it is the incarnation of Sefirah, then he might value the country and his imperial power more than the original George Augustus to some extent."

Should we try to reach a certain tacit understanding with the emperor first, and use shaking the people and the army's faith in Leodro as a bargaining chip to get him to allow him to defeat the country?

Forget it, what are these!
Does fighting like this still count as war?Forget about wars and victories, let’s just say that different gods use themselves to play games! !
Thinking of this, Medici couldn't help laughing and cursed a few more times.He raised his head and looked at Edward and asked bluntly:
"What role do you plan to play in this dispute?"

"I?"

Hearing this, Edward stopped looking at the recipes in his hand, and showed a very interested smile that made people feel that something was wrong: "My thoughts are very simple. I just feel that the world has become very complicated now." It’s chaotic. To not make it more chaotic would be to apologize to my Beyonder characteristics. The Red Angel definitely doesn’t need a half-hearted person like me to direct the tactics and strategies, but you may need some people in Loen who have unstable hearts, unstable rear, and the opponent’s The military supplies were exploited layer by layer, and in the end the morale of the army was shaken and a massive defeat occurred."

"You must have the ability to do this, but I can help you speed up all this in a subtle way. In this way, it doesn't count as me taking the lead. You can use my power to achieve a certain victory, and the ritual can still count."

"Besides, I think Fenebote also has a big conflict with Roen now. Oh, God doesn't have it, but humans do."

"Under such circumstances, many food merchants who have lost their families hate the gods. They cannot retaliate against the gods and extraordinary people, so they provide low-quality or even poisonous food to Rune. This is completely understandable and normal behavior. Right?"

Medici clicked his tongue for a while and expressed no comment on the other party's proposal:
"I thought you would be more direct."

"The more direct things should be done by you, Red Angel. Don't think about inciting hatred for me at this time." Edward said meaningfully, "By the way, what name are you going to use this time?" Calling for war in Fusac?"

"Let's think about the reasons later."

Medici yawned, preparing to find some inspiration from Feysac's internal affairs. Anyway, Roen and Feysac have not been hostile to each other for a year or two: "It doesn't matter whether there is an excuse. War needs reasons. But do natural disasters need a reason?”

After a while, Medici stood up and reached out to fish out Ourolius.

"Let's go first." Medici glanced at Amon, turned around and left with Ourolyus, "See you in the war."

……

Trier, Cathedral of Light.

Hermes led Audrey into the cathedral. Neither of them used the "psychological invisibility" state and walked openly in the church belonging to the "Creator".Today is also a common sunny day in Trier. Golden light shines from countless huge windows. The lighting in the entire church is excellent. The surrounding light naturally adds to the sacred and lofty atmosphere.

Audrey followed Hermes and saw that the other party was respected and stopped by many clergymen coming and going.

After all, she came to a completely unfamiliar environment alone, and she was a little worried that Hermes would introduce her to others. Audrey hoped to evaluate new interpersonal relationships in a social situation that she was familiar with.But fortunately, what she worried about didn't happen.

She didn't deliberately listen to the conversation between Hermes and others, she just let herself go and looked at the murals on the ceiling.

The murals are extremely gorgeous. A majestic god clad in golden light is walking on the seaside. Behind him stands a huge cross. He points one hand to the sky, and the position he points to is a huge sun.This scene is completely consistent with the creation myth of Silver City. The cascading white clouds are dyed with golden light. Countless humans are worshiping in the light, and there are monsters in the shadows in the distance roaring towards the sun god.

Audrey looked closely and found that the huge sun was actually a pure gold "mirror", and no one could be seen in it.

The surrounding symbolic light is inlaid with thin gold and gems. The surrounding windows can illuminate the "golden sun" with natural light from all angles during the day. The refracted halo is bright but not dazzling, covering the entire building. cathedral.

This is the decorative style of the "Kingdom of Gold", the "Kingdom of the Sun"... Audrey was greatly shocked. This kind of straightforward luxury would be seen as showing off in Loen, but in Inti, who has a thorough knowledge of gold craftsmanship, There is only holiness in Sri Lanka: I have never seen such a church design in Loen...

"It's beautiful, isn't it?" A hoarse and deep voice sounded not far from her.

"Yes." Audrey moved her gaze away from the luxurious and beautiful ceiling. Hermes was still talking to other clergymen in front of her. She looked at the person who was talking to her, and her expression suddenly showed a hint of confusion. An extremely unnatural change.

At this moment, the speaker also looked up at the mural on the dome. A hand silently touched his left shoulder, right shoulder, head and chest, pointing out the cross. Audrey realized that this was the prayer of the Church of the Creator. Gesture.What really shocked her was that this man was wearing a pure red cloak, with the hood completely covering his face. Only when he raised his head could he see his pretty profile.

This person...can't be Mr. A, right?
The "audience" observed other people's subtle expressions and body language and concluded that this person was Mr. A, and it was guaranteed to be fake.

What's more, Audrey now has better eyesight than she did at that time. She could clearly see that Mr. A in front of her had an indescribable feeling, as if he was an invisible shadow, which was worse than she remembered. The image in is more dangerous and powerful.

"Mr. A has also become a demigod? What a coincidence..."

Audrey looked at the other person's profile and was speechless for a moment.

When she first became an Extraordinary, she participated in an Extraordinary gathering led by Mr. A with Xio and Forsi, and also entrusted Mr. A with the task of assassinating the ambassador through Forsi.Later, the church carried out a siege in Backlund because of the activity of the Aurora Society. Many people were arrested, but the core people escaped, including Mr. A... After that, this man could always give people a The pious Aurora Society envoy who was deeply impressed by him completely disappeared from Audrey's field of vision. She didn't expect to meet him at the Cathedral of Light today.

"I'm from Loen, and I'm also a member of the Psychological Alchemy Society. I know Mr. A is not surprised."

Although he was the first to talk, Mr. A was still praying, which was in line with Audrey's impression of Mr. A as a fanatical believer.

When the other party didn't speak, Audrey quickly began to think:
"In the information of the Psychological Alchemy Society, I had already become an 'audience' before I came into contact with them. If I had obtained it from the Aurora Society through Mr. A's party, I might still be regarded as someone who can gain favor now. coincide."

There is another term for this kind of benign coincidence in the Western Continent, and that is "fate".

"However, if I tell Mr. A and Mr. Hermes about this 'coincidence', it will probably be regarded as a favor or a hint. I just hope to be a normal saint in the Church of the Creator and do my best to do something , the invitation to join the 'Twilight Hermits' is very tempting, to help mankind avoid danger and guide the future. It sounds like a fable in the holy scriptures, but I am just an audience." Audrey thought for a while and made up her mind. Determined:

"I haven't participated in big events of that level yet. What I need more is a stable environment to play and accumulate experience."

"As for the future...if I have become mature, stable and strong, and there is still a chance, maybe I will consider joining."

After Audrey thought about all the important things in her mind, Mr. A finally ended his prayer. Seeing that this unfamiliar church member did not show any impatience about his prayer time, the corner of Mr. A's mouth also changed. Slightly higher:
"Huh, when we were in Loen, we used such gold and gems to paint paintings, but they were destroyed by those hateful pagans. But now, we have made more gorgeous murals than those then to dedicate to the great host."

"And, who are you? I've never seen you before."

Audrey showed a perfect smile, lifted up her skirt and made a simple salute.

She knew that showing respect for God in front of such fanatical believers would gain the other person's favor the fastest, but she did not intend to do so: "I am a member of the Psychological Alchemy Society from Loen, and it was my first time to see the Cathedral of Light. , was blown away by the murals and furnishings.”

Mr. A nodded without going into details.

He had some objections to Audrey's act of saluting instead of pointing the cross directly on her chest, but now he could find church members he could chat with anywhere, so he wouldn't be too dissatisfied with a new outsider. attack.However, Audrey's behavior also made him temporarily lose interest in this new person. Anyway, the person was from the Psychological Alchemy Society. He nodded and left without even introducing himself.

As a fanatical believer, Mr. A’s thoughts were really easy to guess, and Audrey didn’t feel offended by his leaving without saying goodbye.

Looking at his leaving figure, Audrey felt a little unable to help laughing.

At this time, Hermes also finished talking to others, looked at A who was leaving, then looked at Audrey, and said clearly: "Do you know him?"

Audrey nodded:
"When I was in Loen, I attended this gentleman's extraordinary party."

Hermes smiled and sighed: "He gave his body, mind, and even thoughts to the Lord, letting his thoughts be guided by the Lord. I didn't agree with this idea at first, but later I discovered that this is also a necessary way of survival. .”

Audrey also had some feelings about these words. All her previous experiences made her understand that placing hope on the kindness of the upper class is unreliable and short-lasting, just like a single individual is very insignificant in front of the government, nobles, and big businessmen. , without the power to resist, and these seemingly powerful people are extremely weak in front of extraordinary people, and gods are at the top of this food chain.

The most important thing in this world seems not to be life, not power, not the various beauties being praised, but balance.

Audrey had made a guess that under the current extraordinary system, the aristocracy is necessary and an important object that can maintain social balance, but every aristocrat is not necessary... Perhaps, when the people's thoughts reach a consensus, arousing A large number of people, if they unite, can temporarily shake these balances, obtain better benefits than before, and cause changes in the members of the aristocratic class, but in the end it is impossible to make this class disappear.

So, how long these benefits can last is a matter of great debate.Audrey thought of the textile women workers who stopped marching after being promoted to managers.

At the same time, only when a relative balance is reached among the gods can their world gain peace.

But this is still useful, at least in a short period of time, but Audrey has no time to verify her ideas. During the period before leaving Loen, she has been busy using the few ways she can exert influence. This foundation helps workers, farmers, and disabled veterans who are in need so that they can wait for new job opportunities or for the new season's fields to produce more.

At the same time, Audrey was secretly guiding some people who wanted to do that to reorganize the various workers' associations in Backlund, trying to bring together the power of the bottom workers.

——The Kingdom of Loen had workers' associations of different industries a long time ago, but the upper echelons of these associations were very easy to be bribed, and instead became an effective weapon against ordinary workers.

But she still has too many things to be busy with. Whether it's finding ways to secretly promote the event or getting everyone to march together, it can't all be decided at once.Until the time of leaving, Audrey still couldn't make this happen successfully.

Although she knew that such an idea was weak, she was also worried about greater casualties on both sides.

Hermes didn't say much. He took out an envelope with a golden seal and handed it to Audrey as if by magic.

"Miss Irena Montemar has received the news that you have arrived at the Cathedral of Light. She is very happy to see you arriving here safe and sound. After all, she was really excited when she heard that you directly advanced the potion to the Southern Continent. She was shocked." Hermes blinked, "She is worried about you, this is really from the bottom of her heart."

Audrey nodded slightly: "I'm very grateful to her."

She took the envelope and opened it in front of Hermes. She saw the familiar Intis script on the light-colored letter paper with dark lines.Irena also looked very busy, and only wrote a few sentences. The first sentence was a welcome, the second sentence was to express her joy, and the third sentence was apologetic that she could not get away now and could not come to greet her. Invite Audrey to go to the mansion to rest first and meet her in the afternoon.

The carriage to pick her up arrived in 10 minutes. Audrey was a little surprised that the address of the invitation was "Montmar Family Mansion" instead of the "Marquis Palace" in the past, but she did not take this little doubt to heart. .

At this moment, another cleric came to talk to Hermes. The other cleric looked at Audrey and then at Hermes.

Hermes nodded.

"Your Highness Hermes." Then the clergy began to report, "This is the report of the Secret Order."

Hermes pursed his lips and expressed his doubts honestly: "Why should the matters of the Secret Order be reported to me? Where are their ministers?"

"Something happened to the minister." The cleric who was clearly dressed as the Church of the Creator said helplessly. "The minister of the Esoteric Order left his job yesterday afternoon and left a note asking for a day off to go to the Honakis Mountains. However, He reappeared this morning like crazy, saying that he didn't reach the Honakis Mountains, but that he had reached a strange and mysterious place."

"He said it was impossible for him to get lost, but he inexplicably ended up in a small town. There was only one church in that town. The residents used all kinds of incomprehensible and wonderful objects, and the god worshiped in the church was the Fool."

"The locals were very enthusiastic, but he saw that those were marionettes and had many weird features, so he did not dare to stay overnight. He tried to escape from the town, but was forcefully detained and encountered a night of horrific events. It was only at dawn that he inexplicably escaped back to Trier.”

Fool?Audrey was stunned for a moment.

When did Mr. Fool have a church and a town that believed in him?Has He begun to preach in secret?

I really want to see it...

Hermes moved slightly, his eyebrows furrowed, and asked: "Where is this town and what is its name?"

"He said that he arrived there completely inexplicably, so he could not determine the specific location of the town. He only knew that it was snowing there and that the surrounding area seemed deserted. Maybe the town was in the north of the mainland, but it might also be just an illusion."

The clergy paused for a moment.

"Locals say the name of this town is, Utopia."

Audrey saw Hermes' eyes widen for a moment, and then his eyes became deep, as if he was remembering something.

"Utopia..."

The old angel said softly, as if talking to himself:
"Maybe he's also an acquaintance."
