Chapter 267: Honest Return

In the hall with broken stone pillars, a group of Nighthawks wearing black windbreakers and silk top hats appeared around the wrecked altar. The leader was Saint Anthony Stevenson, Archbishop of the Backlund Diocese of the Church of the Evernight Goddess.

"Destroyed by someone?" He whispered, without stopping any longer, he went directly to the stone gate leading to the inside.

Thick darkness emerged, and the stone door opened without a sound. Saint Anthony led some Nighthawks inside and went deep.

Along the way, they didn't find a single guard or anything of value, and it seemed as if the place had been forcefully cleaned up.

Finally, they arrived at the deepest room, but there was still nothing there except walls and stone pillars. The blue light door that Klein had come out had long since disappeared.

The lanterns in the hands of several Nighthawks suddenly lost their light, and the room was enveloped in darkness.

When everything returned to normal, they found that the surrounding walls had melted away at some point, but there were no hidden doors or tunnels behind them. They were either thick mud and stones, or the corridors they had come from.

St. Anthony was silent for more than ten seconds before speaking:

"Try divination.

"Search nearby."

…………

Ah Choo!

Klein walked through the cliffs and woods without roads, and sadly found that he seemed to be really sick.

The residual effect of Mr. A's extraordinary ability, coupled with the drenched state in winter, made him shamefully catch a cold.

However, he didn't dare to stop to collect dead branches, light a fire, bake clothes, and dry banknotes, because he was afraid of being found by the Extraordinary of the church.

Even though he has already obtained a semi-official status from the "Mechanical Heart" with the endorsement of Stanton Essinger, but the two highest-level cases involving the awakening of the "Primary Witch" and the descending of the "True Creator" must be They will accept strict investigations, for example, go to the "Mechanical Heart", the Punisher, and the Nighthawks to taste black tea in turn, and retell the whole process actively or passively.

There are two hidden dangers in this. One is that he has acquaintances within the Nighthawks. Although the appearance of great detective Sherlock Moriarty is quite different from that of Klein Moretti who died in the line of duty, it is almost impossible to tell them apart by photos. But if he really wants to face to face, he still has no confidence. Second, because of the similar channels, the Evernight Goddess Church is not very friendly to people and things related to the God of Death.

Dating back to the pale age at the end of the Fourth Epoch, the god of death fell under the siege of the seven gods, and the helper "summoned" by detective Sherlock Moriarty at a critical moment was a powerful descendant of the god of death. The problem of not falling.

"The extremely high-status powerhouse just now may be rushing to deal with Ince Zangwill and '0-08', and has no time to pay attention to me, a small friendly character like me, but I can't be careless because of this. I should run have to run!

"Well, if you have a chance, you can write to "Mechanical Heart" and explain the second reason why I have to leave Backlund temporarily. In this way, there may be opportunities for cooperation in the future. Of course, you must first secretly Observe whether the "Mechanical Heart" has strong hostility towards the descendants of the god of death... I don't know how Mr. Ards is doing now...

"Hehe, maybe in the official announcement, Sherlock Moriarty died from a meteorite falling from the sky, so he lived up to his identity, his name..."

Klein endured the alternate state of fever and cold, trying to find a small town as soon as possible and enter the crowd.

Only in human society can the abilities of "faceless people" be brought into full play.

The woman who cooperated with Mr. A, uh, should be a witch, went to the East District... Judging from the situation of the ceremony, there may be a large-scale death there, I don't know... Klein, who has the spiritual intuition of a fortune-teller, suddenly felt heavy. .

At this moment, all the colors in front of his eyes became intense, as if they were splashed with oil paint by the gods.

This feeling disappeared in a flash, and Klein found himself far away from where he was originally, and saw Azik Eggers with bronze complexion and soft features appearing beside him.

"Mr. Ards, are you not injured?" He breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yes." Azik answered frankly, and then smiled, "But for the 'undead', this is not a big problem."

Klein felt relieved, and asked instead:

"What about Ince Zangwill and '0-08'?"

"Ince Zangwill is still alive, still in charge of that level '0' sealed item." Azik said as he walked.

Klein tried his best to keep up, and couldn't help sighing:

"What a pity."

"Don't worry, he was seriously injured." Azik said solemnly, "And more importantly, we know that he is secretly cooperating with the royal family, so we don't have to worry about finding him later. In this way, You can concentrate on improving yourself, and I can also try to go to a few places I have already recalled to awaken more memories, hehe, you are lucky, I have been secretly observing MI9 and the royal family, and I want to use this To determine the whereabouts of Ince Zangwill, the Red Rose Manor is a key point here, so I always hover around there, otherwise I wouldn't come to rescue you so quickly."

Speaking of this, Klein was a little embarrassed:

"Mr. Ards, don't you wonder why I didn't die?"

"I often wake up in a coffin, this is something I recalled before." Azik smiled indifferently, "In my incomplete memory, similar things are rare in others, but they are not There is no precedent."

Often in a coffin and then awake...often? Klein suddenly realized that his worries were nothing in the eyes of the real boss.

It is worthy of being the "undead" of the "Reaper" path... Well, Mr. Azik said before that he had stayed in this sequence for a long time, and the implication was that he had been promoted a long time ago... Klein thought about it, some asked anxiously:

"Mr. Azik, will Ince Zangwill find out that I am Klein Moretti?"

He was afraid that the other party would retaliate against Benson and Melissa.

"He probably didn't. At most, he thinks that we have known each other for a long time, or that you are mine, mine, in the words of the police, my informant." Azik recalled, "But the '0' level The sealed item may notice it, but you don't have to worry."

"Why?" Klein asked.

Azik didn't know what he remembered, and his expression suddenly became a little weird, as if he wanted to laugh and felt horrified:

"That '0' level sealed item will always try to kill its owner. This should be its essence and it will not change. Therefore, the information that can make Ince Zangwill suffer greatly at this critical moment, I don't think it will take the initiative to disclose, unless it involves something that cannot be circumvented and cannot be explained."

Seeing what Mr. Ards said was so firm and well-founded, Klein let out a sigh of relief, as if his cold seemed to be getting better.

Seeing this, Azik added:

"You'd better stay away from Backlund in the near future, Ince Zangwill may use that level '0' sealed item to take revenge on you, relying on your pseudonym.

"As long as it's not in Backlund, there's no problem. The range of influence of that level '0' sealed item won't exceed a metropolis."

As I guessed, there is a scope limit... Otherwise, Ince Zangwill could hide in a small town in the Southern Continent and arrange the fate of all the targets leisurely without worrying about being found... Klein considered asked:

"It's okay to go back to Backlund for a short day, or half a day, right? On the premise of changing your identity and appearance."

After speaking, he rubbed his face, and instantly changed back to the way he was in Tingen.

Azik's eyebrows moved slightly, and he nodded:

"It's not a big problem."

He looked back at the distance that he could no longer see:

"I seem to be being targeted by the powerful existence of the Church of Evernight. You'd better not follow me to avoid being affected. Hehe, they are very interested in the extraordinary characteristics related to death."

"Well, I'm going to go to sea. While digesting the potion, I'm looking for a mermaid. This is the condition I need for promotion." Klein explained his plan.

Azik turned his head sideways:

"Mermaids? Is it okay to have mermaids that have turned into undead? I can find at least four of them."

"It should be, it can't be..." Klein reached out and wiped his forehead.

His intuition told him that this would definitely not work, but he planned to go to the gray mist for divination to confirm.

Azik didn't mention the undead mermaid anymore, but said instead:

"What's the matter, contact through the messenger."

Messenger... Klein suddenly felt guilty and ashamed:

"It, it died in my fight with Mr. A, and it saved my life."

Azik glanced at him, shook his head and said with a smile:

"Don't worry about it, as long as it is not killed by an angel-level powerhouse, or uses a special method, as long as the underworld still exists, it can be slowly reborn there.

"And before that, there were, there were, um, I couldn't count how many similar messengers there were."

It seems that the messenger so strong and so huge has a legion? Klein opened his mouth, unable to speak.

His shame dissipated a lot, and he asked curiously:

"Mr. Azik, where is the underworld, that is, hell?"

"The spirit world, the accurate description is that it is a special place opened up by the ancient god of death in the spirit world." Azik did not hide anything.

Ancient Death? That should be the ancient god Gregory, the ancestor of the phoenix... It turns out that the underworld is subordinate to the spirit world. No wonder the basic structure in mysticism is "real world-spiritual world-star world", which does not include the underworld and the abyss... Ke Ryan was about to ask related questions when he suddenly remembered something and said quickly:

"Mr. Ards, I have obtained a 'Card of Blasphemy' made by Emperor Russell, which contains high-sequence secrets. I think it can help you awaken more things, but you have to wait for a while, it is hidden in the Backlund."

Klein didn't mention the reward, because he was afraid of revealing the secrets of the Tarot Club, the mysterious space above the gray fog, and Miss Justice, so he could only use this tactful way to thank Mr. Azik for his help and contribution.

Ards looked at him in surprise, but in the end he said nothing, nodded slightly and said:

"When you get it back, let the courier bring it to me, and I will return it to you immediately after I study it, or you can directly copy the corresponding content to me."

He paused, and seemed to have remembered something, so he took out a glove as thin as human skin from his pocket, handed it to Klein and said:

"I have awakened the relevant memory, and I don't need it anymore. Hehe, it is the relic of the pirate lieutenant general. I have made some seals so that it will not be hungry at ordinary times, but every time it is used, it must be used with a human flesh and blood. Feed it with the soul, otherwise, it will devour you."

..."squirming hunger"? Originated from the legacy of a "shepherd" after death? Klein immediately recalled what that glove represented. To read books on this site, please use the latest domain name
