Chapter 59
"The City of Generosity" Bayam, in a rental house with gas wall lamps.
Verdu Abraham, who wears gold-rimmed glasses, holds a thick stack of materials, with a light that is not too bright, and reads carefully. From time to time, he draws a symbol with a pen to record the content that he feels will be useful.
He left Loen and came to the Rhosid Islands. The main purpose was to get rid of the sight of Dorian and other family members, study the occult with peace of mind, and find an effective way to rescue the ancestor Bethel Abraham, or to reduce the difficulty of the ceremony. reliable knowledge.
However, more than half a year later, he still has no clue. It seems that he has no other choice than to hunt down "Crafty Mage", "Parasite" and "Secret Mage".
This made Verdu quite frustrated, but he clearly knew how dangerous the "0" level sealed item was. Even if he was willing to sacrifice, he couldn't really control it, and it was difficult to guarantee what the final result would look like.
And more importantly, he couldn't find "Crafty Mage" and "Parasite" at all. These are saints who are known for their secret whereabouts and strange styles.
Huh... Verdu put down the stack of documents in his hand and said to himself almost silently:
"Could it be that, like Dorian and the others, I can only hope in that 'The Fool'?"
Thinking of "The Fool", Verdu couldn't help frowning, because more and more half-giants were promoting the belief of "The Fool" in Bayam City, so much that he, who seldom went out, heard about it.
This made him wonder if he was near the headquarters of the Church of The Fool.
If it weren't for the secret knowledge of mysticism circulating in the Rhosid Islands that was beyond Verdu's expectations, and many of which were never mastered by the Abraham family and were extremely useful, he would have left Bayam a month ago and went to the southern continent.
"Can't stay any longer, book a ferry ticket to East Balam as soon as possible..." As soon as Verdu made a decision in his heart, he felt a little shaken, "Dorian and the Church of The Fool should have never thought of me and hid in their headquarters. In the area that can be radiated, Emperor Roselle once said that the most dangerous place is also the safest place..."
In hesitation, Verdu put the information, turned off the wall lamp, and walked to the bedroom with the help of the moonlight outside the window.
In the corner of the balcony of his room, a figure suddenly jumped out of the darkness and jumped over the fence.
This figure was like a feather, light and weightless. When it fell to the ground from a height of more than ten meters, there was no movement at all.
Immediately after,
The figure sneaked along the dark part of the street, all the way to the vicinity of the Sea God Church, and climbed the bell tower.
Then, "he" took out a pen and paper, wrote down the monitoring situation tonight into a report, and stuffed it into a gap.
When the figure left, about a quarter of an hour later, the sound of the wind suddenly sounded on the clock tower.
The report was pulled out of the gap by an invisible hand, and in the strong wind blowing here, it flew ups and downs into the distance, just like a bat spreading its wings in the dark night.
It didn't take long for the report to plummet like it was tied to a rock, and landed on a palm sticking out from the darkness of the garden.
This hand belongs to Cardinal Alger Wilson of the Church of the Storms.
He immediately started the report and read it carefully in the dark, not bothered by the lack of light at all.
——Alger can see the surrounding things clearly even in the dark sea.
"Verdu's idea of leaving Bayam is getting clearer and clearer..." Alger nodded invisibly and made a conclusion in his heart.
For more than half a year, according to Mr. Fool's instructions, he has been monitoring the member of the Abraham family, but he has never noticed any unusual behavior from the other party.
When Verdu leaves from the Rorsted Islands, his mission will be completed.
However, Alger didn't want to end like this. He didn't think he had made enough contributions, but simply monitored a Sequence 7 that was nothing special.
——"The Hermit" has obtained the Sequence 3 Extraordinary characteristics from the "Queen of Mysteries", and has collected the corresponding auxiliary materials, and is busy preparing for the ceremony. This put a lot of psychological pressure on Alger. Of course, in addition to monitoring Verdu, he also followed Mr. Fool's intentions and did a lot of things, but even he himself felt that there was still a big gap between this and the identity, personality, and power of "Sea God".
For a moment, Alger wanted to indirectly force Verdu Abraham through various means, so that he would actively expose his own problems, but he finally gave up this idea, because he could not be sure that Mr. Fool held that target. Some are good and some are malicious.
——When Silver City and Moon City sold off Beyonder characteristics and potion formulas, Alger purchased some from the Tarot Society to cultivate Beyonders who were independent of the Church of Storms, who were only loyal to him, and who were hidden in the dark The team, the personnel monitoring Verdu came from here.
At present, most of the teams with less than ten members are Sequence 9s, and only a few are promoted to Sequence 8s.
As for where the money for Alger's purchase of Beyonder characteristics and potion formulas comes from, the answer is very simple:
As a cardinal who presides over a diocese, Alger can easily "save" a sum of money for himself to spend. During the previous period, the mines, plantations, spice estates and factories on the Rhosid Islands were all at low prices. Selling at the price of its own value, as long as you have the strength to buy, you can make a lot of money after a while.
More importantly, the headquarters of the Church of the Storm was also interested in the Beyonder characteristics and potion formulas sold by Silver City and Moon City, and provided a large amount of funds for purchase. As for the person who handled it, there was no doubt that it was Cardinal Alger Wilson of the Diocese of Rorsted, and some losses were inevitable and understandable in a similar process.
Taking back his thoughts, Alger decided to use his shadow guards to sell some mysticism knowledge in some Beyonder circles in Bayam, in order to catch Verdu Abraham, and delay as long as he can.
"The main reason is that the mission of the City of Silver scared that gentleman..." Alger shook his head and muttered to himself.
He immediately destroyed the report in his hand and walked back into the church.
…………
When the sky just dawned, a young man walked out of the hotel and leisurely enjoyed the morning scenery of Bayam.
He had just bought the "Teyana" drink in a fruit shell from a hawker when he suddenly felt a large shadow appearing beside him.
The young man turned his head and looked up a little bit, and found that a half-giant approaching 2.5 meters was approaching.
"This gentleman, can I take up your time? I want to tell you about our beacon and our savior, Mr. Fool." The half-giant bent down, trying to make his smile look kind.
The young man took a sip of "Teyana", pointed to the side, smiled and nodded:
"Okay, but not here."
He immediately walked to a place where he would not block others, and the half-giant who looked extremely oppressive also followed gently.
"You can talk." The young man did not hide his curiosity at all.
The stout half-giant's expression suddenly became solemn:
"My Lord calls himself the 'The Fool'. In the past, present, and future, he is the great ruler who dominates the spiritual world, the king of yellow and black in charge of good fortune, and the beacon for every living being to pursue eternity.
"My Lord is above the real and the spiritual world, and mercy is sprinkled on the heaven and the earth, and there are six angels at his seat...
"The 'Angel of Mercury' is the incarnation of fate and the most favored angel of my lord; the 'Angel of Death' is the one who has followed my lord for the longest time and is the consul of the underworld; The messenger of the decree; the 'angel of life' is the crystallization of wisdom, the indelible spirituality in every human being."
Hearing this, the young man laughed:
"Your lord is really amazing, there are so many titles of angels to serve."
"More than that." The half-giant responded mildly, "Beside the Throne of the Lord is the 'Angel of Punishment'. He is the Thunder of the Lord, the Fury of the Lord, the Palm of the Lord, the Judge and Executioner of all the fallen and the unclean. .
"The opposite of the 'Angel of Punishment' is the 'Angel of Time'. He is the 'king' in ancient times, and he finally surrendered to my lord and struck the bell of the kingdom of heaven for him."
"Great, great." The young man exclaimed sincerely.
Hearing such a response, the half-giant couldn't help but smile, and then described the various miracles performed by Mr. Fool in as concise a language as possible, and finally said:
"It's been a quarter of an hour, so don't waste your time. If you're interested, you can go to the 'The Fool' Church at 16 Phillips Street to learn more about it. This is our largest church in Bayam City, hehe , others are still in planning.”
The young man nodded:
"If I have time, I'll take a look."
After watching the half-giant turn away, the young man smiled and took out a monocle made of crystal from his pocket and put it on his right eye.
…………
The half-giant went all the way back to the restaurant and changed into chef clothes.
"Bader, have you gone to preach again?" the restaurant owner asked with a smile.
When the industry association recommended this half-giant to learn cooking, he was still quite resistant, always feeling that the other party could kill him with a casual shake of his arm, and he didn't seem like a person with culinary talent.
But now, he is very satisfied with Baldur. This half-giant is not only honest, obedient, and able to endure hardships, but also has a strong deterrent force, which makes the villains on the street dare not make any more restaurant ideas.
The only problem is that Badr goes out once a morning to preach the "Fool" belief.
Of course, since it's not working hours, the restaurateur can't say anything and doesn't mind.
Balder smiled honestly, walked into the back kitchen, and said to Bonn, his friend in Moon City who had defected to him:
"Today I can teach you how to make grilled fish."
Bonn looked more normal, but his eyes looked awkward when he looked up and down. He belonged to the kind of Yuecheng people who had the courage to communicate with outsiders and had the courage to communicate with outsiders. He heard the words and nodded:
"I have to pray first. Mr. Fool sent down the oracle and asked all the people of Moon City to make a wish to him at nine o'clock this morning, hoping that there will be no more deformities."
