Chapter 145 Is About to Begin

374

In a room covered with thick soft carpet.

The quill he was holding stopped and stopped writing.

The notes spread out below it have lines of words and many traces of smearing:

(smear)

"The target attempted to break free, but unfortunately Detective Sherlock Moriarty left before she could get downstairs."

…

"The target was affecting the surrounding maids, but Prince Edsac's butler Finkel accidentally discovered the problem and dealt with it."

…

(smear)

"The target went off track again and attended Talim's funeral instead of Prince Edsac. However, she soon returned to her normal state and found that she could not identify who Sherlock Moriarty was and could only miss it miserably."

…

"Sherlock Moriarty went to Red Rose Manor to investigate, but the timing was wrong. The target happened to go to the golf course to ride horses."

…

(smear)

"The target once again defeated the arrangement and encouraged Prince Edsac to visit Detective Sherlock Moriarty. Unfortunately, Sherlock Moriarty had a stomachache and stayed in the bathroom for 7 minutes and 45 seconds. , and the prince cannot wait.”

…

His facial features were like sculptures, but the middle-aged man who was blind in one eye put down his quill, looked at the woman on the side and said:

"What exactly did you put in her? Breaking the limits again and again will cause big problems."

The woman chuckled and said, "It was just an accident. Don't worry too much. There won't be any problems."

"The arrival of the angel before was the real one..."

She sighed softly, feeling faintly scared.

Ince Zangwill remained silent. Even though it was clearly recorded in the record that the extraordinary performance of 0-08 caused the death of an angel, but without more information, we can only guess that the angel of death was the author. However, what 0-08 did was to let the angel who wrote the book destroy himself in the process of weaving his destiny.

It has the ability to influence the fate of angels, but it must be achieved through extremely difficult coincidences and a long time. It cannot be solved with a stroke of pen like arranging a low sequence.

When the Temperance Angel suddenly appeared in Backlund, the planners of the whole thing fell into a short-term panic, and the "Desperate Nightingale" Panatia, who was directly involved, even showed fear.

This makes Ince Zangwill dare not act rashly. 0-08 can at most affect the fate of angel-level beings, but at the same time, it is also easy for the opponent to directly notice the incompatibility of his own fate and trace the source. Moreover, the "prisoner" is good at curses and seals. If he rashly attacks an "ancient evil creature", Ince Zangwill feels that the other person can blow him to pieces with just one look, leaving him with only 0-08.

However, it was already December 24th, very close to the target date of the 28th.

Of course, the entire plan can be postponed until the Temperance Angel leaves Backlund, but this will inevitably cause more chain reactions, not to mention it is impossible to determine when the Temperance Angel will leave.

Therefore, after discussing countermeasures, the royal family decided to have a slight influence on the newspaper industry, using some conflicts that happened recently in the southern continent to make a difference, express their attitude and position, and drive away the Angel of Temperance. This is much more effective than coming to your door to advise or apply pressure in person. It can make the other party retreat without losing your identity.

Sure enough, just as they thought, they successfully forced the Temperance Angel out of Backlund three days later. MI9 had obtained the other party's flight information - Richard Ernst had taken the flight to Backlund at 3:30 on Monday afternoon. Bayam's ship set out from the Tasok River Inland Channel and sailed to Pulitzer Harbor. It has now left Backlund.

"Did the Angel of Temperance really come after sensing the disaster?" The witch tapped her lips with her finger and asked uncertainly, "The "Prisoner" is not good at sensing. This plan has been prepared for so long, so it should be flawless. That's right. "

"...Maybe, after all, there is a "Master of Prophecy" in the Pilgrimage Sect. "

Although he is already a demigod, Ince Zangwill still doesn’t want to talk about high-sequence topics. He thought that the haze and stain of his failure in promotion would be completely washed away after becoming a demigod, but he didn't expect that after reaching this level, his inferiority complex would become even higher.

The witch laughed lightly, combed her hair gracefully, and put on her accessories. Panatia put on her robe and tightened her belt to make her figure more graceful, and smiled brightly at Ince Zangwill:

"Tomorrow is the time to take action."

"You must not make any mistakes again."

0-08's pen holder snorted and held the quill harder.

Time passed quickly, and after a period of excitement, silence returned to the gray fog again.

Klein sat in the Fool's seat, reviewing the meeting that just ended. The amount of information exchanged in this Tarot session was beyond imagination. Just the statues of the Six Gods that I saw in the underground ruins of the Fourth Age, and the "sun" that I saw in the Temple of the True Creator in the Land Abandoned by the Gods. Corresponding to the portrait of the six gods turned into monsters, Mr. Fool's palms became sweaty, and his eyes kept drifting to the seat a little further away from the long table, which was still covered with black gauze.

He was a little worried that a red moon would suddenly appear on the black veil, or that the goddess would come to teach him a lesson with divine punishment after a gray mist.

…It’s really hard to look directly at them, especially the Mother Goddess of the Earth, the Lord of Storms, and the Eternal Sun. They have not only been turned into evil gods, but are closer to ugly monsters… Klein does not have the sudden realization that he has found the truth. On the contrary, he had some indescribable emotions. He expected that the "True Creator" would slander the Six Gods and distort their image.

The looping memories and adventures described in "The Sun" are perfect for a movie, and the fact that outsiders can enter the God-forsaken land is also exciting for "The Sun."

Based on his own personal experience, he deduced that there was indeed instability in Backlund, so when "Justice" asked questions, Klein reported Prince Edsac's name without any psychological burden.

Apart from this, the only organization that Klein is slightly interested in is the "Redemption Rose", but he knows very little about it. In order to prevent being questioned by the Tarot Club, Mr. "The Fool" pretends to be sophisticated and silent.

In the sentence mentioned in Emperor Russell's diary, Zaratul said that "resurrection from the dead" is a miracle. What does it mean?

The Sequence 2 name of the Seer Path is called "Miracle Master". Could it be that Zaratul, who disappeared, is not dead, or can he be resurrected? "Miracle Master" is so powerful, why didn't Roselle mention Zarath when he made enemies on all sides in the late stage?

This also reminded Klein of what happened to him.

The head wound of a person who committed suicide miraculously recovers, and the extraordinary person whose heart was broken and died crawls out of the grave in the middle of the night. Isn't this the resurrection from the dead? Isn't this the "miracle" mentioned by Zarathul, the leader of the Secret Order? And the name of the Sequence 2 potion of the “Soothsayer” path is called “Miracle Master”! At this moment, Klein vaguely felt that he had grasped something key, but he was unable to piece together the fragmented and incomplete clues into the truth he wanted.

As I guessed before, there are other factors at play when I choose "Soothsayer" as the starting point of the sequence... My biggest reliance is that this mysterious space above the gray fog can just eliminate interference and give "Soothsayer" "The most coveted environment... My "resurrection" characteristic seems to also originate from the gray fog...

When I came to Backlund, the things that "Secret Puppet Master" Rosago was involved in were naturally attracted to me. It was consistent with the aggregation effect of extraordinary characteristics within the same pathway. The greater the "mass", the stronger the suction force, and the intermittent Sex comes into play... The Antigonus Family Notes suddenly changed its style and conveyed to me the key information about the hidden treasure on the main peak of the Honakis Mountains through the doomed puppets. Perhaps this aspect is also involved...

Combined with other fragmentary phenomena, does it mean that there is a very close relationship between this mysterious space and the extraordinary path of the "divineer", corresponding to the "0" level sealed artifact left behind in the sequence? Or, or the Kingdom of God left over from Sequence 0 of this path?

There is another possibility, the so-called "uniqueness" of the "divineer" path...

Klein looked away from Russell's diary, looking forward to what he would find in the obscured place after he was promoted to a high-sequence powerhouse and completed the glorious staircase deep in the gray mist.

Maybe the reason for my journey and the way home can be found there... He suppressed his inner excitement and let Russell's diary disappear from his hands.

At the same time, he became increasingly wary of Zaratul, the leader of the Secret Order.

This is a powerful being of the "divineer" path who was already a "miraculous master" many years ago!

Sometimes, there may be his shadow hidden behind some things!

High-sequences are not something that he should consider taking precautions for now. Right now, Klein has other plans, which is to make himself, a supporting role among the supporting roles, fade away from the stage. After "leaving" Backlund, he can change his appearance without anyone noticing. , quietly returned, and contacted the "Mechanical Heart" out of sight of the "0" level sealed object!

I hope it will succeed, and I hope I have a chance to find Ince Zangwill! Well, the premise is that if he is indeed involved in this matter... Wait, in the process of tracking down Ince Zangwill, Mr. Azik had a conflict with MI9 and encountered a secret wanted. MI9 has always been considered a pro-royal faction in the military... There are a series of coincidences surrounding Prince Edsac, which are similar to the characteristics previously displayed by the sealed artifact "0-08"... This seems to be confirmed from the side. The existence of Ince Zangwill...

Klein stayed on the gray fog for a while. After sorting out the high-level information, he simulated the feeling of falling and left the gray fog.

…

Edward tilted his head and put his palms behind his ears, as if listening carefully to something.

Although he knew that this would not bring any help to the monitoring at the spiritual level, he still maintained this action for a while with great interest.

"I can't hear it... The goddess of the night is very tightly guarded, so basically I can't hear anything..."

"But I also said something back to Him, and He shouldn't be able to hear me."

Throwing away the blanks and noises 99% of the time, Edward could only hear a few words intermittently, "loops" with a high frequency, and the occasional "blasphemy". Overall, there was no valuable intelligence.

There was only one thing that aroused his interest, and that was the word "circulation", which was said in ancient giant language.

After Edward heard this word, his first reaction was to recall whether the word "cycle" had other meanings in the ancient giant language. After confirming that there was no code word, no homophony, and no hint, he changed his thinking direction and thought about it. I wonder where else this language is used today.

In fact, even the Feysac people rarely use Ancient Giant Language. After all, from Ancient Giant Language 1.0 to Fusac Language 2.0, there is also a version 1.5 Ancient Fusac Language in between. Moreover, in terms of stimulating spirituality and adapting to consciousness, the ancient giant language is far inferior to ancient Hermetic language, a language created specifically for this purpose. It is just a language spontaneously formed by the ancient giant family.

It is now the year 1348 of the Fifth Age. The giants in the physiological sense have long since ceased to exist. The ancient language has also undergone countless simplifications and optimizations before evolving into the current Fusac language. After having simplified Chinese characters, how could anyone use oracle bone script to communicate? In this day and age, how could anyone still use Ancient Giant Language as a daily language?

Even if the person can speak it himself, he still has to consider whether others can understand him or not.

This is interesting information. Who on the Origin Castle said these words?

The noise disappeared, and after waiting for a while, no incomprehensible voices were heard. Edward felt that the Source Castle meeting was over.

He retracted his hand and sat on the armchair in a relatively relaxed posture, casually watching the distant sea level and the fishing boats in the distance.

He is on the balcony of the suite near the seaside, where he can easily look out at the sea in the distance. A few hundred meters below is the beach. It is now deep winter in the Northern Continent, but the temperature at sea can still be around 15 degrees. Although there are no tourists swimming on vacation on the beach, there are many fishermen and children turning over stones on the beach. , pick up shells and catch small crabs.

If you don't catch it and eat it, the harvest will appear in the surrounding restaurants at dinner time, and the hotel where you stay will go directly to the beach to buy the freshest and most plump seafood.

Edward rang the bell to summon the waiter waiting outside and ordered an afternoon tea.

During this period of time, He sat quietly for more than ten seconds, and then set up a spiritual wall around him. The warm smile on his face suddenly disappeared without a trace.

The Declined King strengthened the spiritual wall and used his little power very carefully.

After leaving the hidden town, his senses became stronger. Since he could sense that the disaster was approaching through the container in the devil's path, it proved that the "man-made disaster" he was waiting for was already close at hand.

It is similar to "divination", but it is much higher level and more accurate than divination. It uses its own authority to directly perceive the overall destiny of the specific city "Backlund" - just a second later, the Declined King said to himself:

"tomorrow."

"Tomorrow afternoon."

"Less than twenty-four hours from now."

His thumb rubbed the side of his index finger, and he made a final decision on this time point:

"Twenty-two hours and fourteen minutes later."

The god nodded slightly: "Very good."

"Appearing in Backlund at this critical juncture, issuing curses and judgments, thereby establishing a close mystical connection with the fate of the earth."

"After this incident, the decline of mankind will become inevitable. I no longer have to worry about being discovered. I can directly control the waking half of the true creator and ask for the way to the place abandoned by God, or directly sacrifice him as the key to the door. .”

"Even if my source is not there, I can turn the land abandoned by God into my kingdom of God and secretly control the true Creator."

When one has no source of essence, it is more dangerous to rashly seize the uniqueness of demons and prisoners. The purpose of the Declined King is to complete himself and perfect his symbol and authority, rather than to explode on the spot after eating a random meal.

After confirming the plan and the time to take action, He disappeared again, lifted the spiritual wall that had only been open for ten seconds, and pushed the surface consciousness to the front of the stage to continue the performance.

At this time, the waiter also brought snacks and tea. Edward smiled and nodded, giving him a pound tip.

"Then let's leave a substitute here and secretly head to Backlund tomorrow morning to make preparations."

"Let's consider the matter of the Seiuan Castle heir and that meeting after it's over. Maybe it's time to pay a visit to Miss Fors."

While Edward was enjoying the cakes, he suddenly heard a series of prayers in his ears.

These prayers came from the direction of the Southern Continent, and two of the seven people who left with candles had received His grace.

A girl bit a human trafficker who wanted to kidnap her and became a "madman" on the way to prison. After realizing the beauty of power, she quickly became a devout believer and killed dozens of people in two days. A man who was originally resentful and became insane after a huge blow prayed for strength with the purpose of ruthlessly retaliating against his enemies - devils are benevolent and equal. Driven by hatred, this young man lit candles and took advantage of the darkness of the night. They sacrificed the lives of the enemy's entire family. So Edward generously allowed him to become a "serial killer", helping him learn a variety of killing methods at once without a teacher, and regain the rationality and calmness he deserved.

In the "serial killer" stage, he has completely lost the conscience that humans should have, and morality and law have no binding force on him at Sequence 7. But he has more important beliefs than killing innocent people.

At this moment, these two lucky people who have been gifted by God have reunited. Although their hands are stained with blood, their own blood is also hot, and they are still doing crude things like killing the rich to help the poor and taking revenge on the evildoers.

So Edward also took advantage of the situation and issued an "oracle", asking them to let go as much as possible, do whatever they want, and then save their lives, so as to cause a greater commotion.

Although the abilities of 8 and 7 are limited, with the help of the Angel of the Abyss, they are enough to become the latest news topic in the Southern Continent and attract the attention of the goddess of the night.

After tomorrow's events, let's let the Demon Family enter...

Edward took a sip of tea and admired the cascading waves in the distance in a good mood.

Major event: The Backlund Smog begins.

According to the original text, the progress has reached half at this time, and in my case, it is also one-third.
