Chapter 257 Fulfilling Promises

531

At night, inside a building in Jowood District.

Xio returned home in the light drizzle. While wiping his hair with a towel, he said to Fors:

"Your letter has been sent."

Forsi said "hmm" and secretly guessed when the teacher would be able to reply.

At this time, Xio put down the towel and said casually:

"There is news about Mr. X's party. It's still the same place as before, Friday night."

Great, now you can tell Mr. World! I don’t know how much compensation I need to pay... Forsi’s eyes lit up when he heard this.

Before she could ask for details, Xio had already added:

“Mr.

"A person with abnormal luck?" Fors whispered in confusion, "Is there something wrong with this gentleman's brain? Who would reveal the situation around him at such a party? It is easy for others to discover his true identity."

"Who knows? Maybe he is really a lunatic." Xio didn't know people with abnormal luck, so she responded nonchalantly.

Forsi thought about it carefully for a while, but still didn't understand the real purpose of this mission. He could only throw it behind his mind and prepare to pray to Mr. Fool when Xio went to take a bath to pass the corresponding information to "The World". "Gehrman Sparrow.

…

Klein on the Source Castle received this request. It happened that he had just communicated with the "Snake of Mercury" Will Auceptin, and used the power of the Source Castle and a "worm of time" left by Amon before, An advanced talisman of demigod level was produced.

After hearing Forsi's words, he first chose to divine on the Origin Castle, "Assassinating Mr.

Mr.

From this point of view, the danger of assassination is even small. The danger only comes from Mr. X himself. It may be because the "Angel of Destiny" is currently in Silver City and will not provide assistance to Mr.

Such a divination result was within his expectation.

He didn't reply immediately, but went back to bed directly.

In the middle of the night, he suddenly opened his eyes, and then he was startled by the earth-shattering explosion and sat up. He was completely sleepless. After that, he kept his eyes open until dawn, and was unable to get a good night's sleep.

Soon, Walter came in and saluted him:

"Sir, there was a huge gas explosion in the south of Backlund, causing a small earthquake. Are you okay?"

"It's okay." Klein somehow thought of Hazel who always ran into the sewers, but Hazel, who could only move around for about an hour, shouldn't be able to run directly to the south and back again. He sighed and said, "I need to rest."

Walter agreed and left the room with Richardson.

After they left, Klein, who had completely fallen asleep, turned into Gehrman Sparrow and prayed to The Fool:

"...I can take on this task, but no matter whether it succeeds or not, I want your bracelet, a stone, and the right to use the magic book for a period of time.

“If successful, all the loot belongs to me, and you can only take the target’s head.

"If necessary, you have to provide assistance."

"It seems like you're having a good time lately?"

Edward sat down and said to the dark saint beside him: "I brought some coffee beans from the southern continent. Please make me a cup of coffee."

The Dark Saint took a sneak peek at the True Creator, and when he saw that He had no expression, he bowed slightly and said, "Okay."

The Dark Saint left, and the two mythical creatures in the room looked at each other.

The true Creator sat upright on the single sofa opposite, without saying a word. His scattered spirituality turned into shadow-like wings, layered on His shoulders and waist. The brighter the surrounding light, the brighter the light around Him. The direction becomes darker and darker.

There are more golden parts in His hair, and the eroded black is slowly receding towards the ends of the hair.

Edward looked at Him with interest for a moment and said with a smile: "You have indeed gained huge benefits from your previous promotion. I can see that you seem to have regained the direction of 'the Lord who created everything, the omniscient and omnipotent God'. The Hanged Man is omniscient and omnipotent, and the Visionary creates everything. You and Him happen to be the two core authorities, but in terms of the cornerstone alone, you are indeed the more suitable choice."

The true Creator has prepared the words: "You, through the 'memory of disaster', washed away my divinity and allowed me to experience the joys, anger, sorrows and joys of being a human nearly a thousand times, and made me develop feelings for divinity and even divinity itself. Exclusion is to curb the original recovery?"

"right."

"But I remember that you are not afraid of death, or the return of the 'original'."

The conversation between the gods gradually became inappropriate for angels and below. In the middle of the conversation, the Dark Saint came into the room with tea and coffee. They remained silent at the same time until the other party left, and then isolated the things in the room from the outside world again.

"Just because I don't mind doesn't mean I'm happy. Pursuing a higher and correct ending is our instinct and the meaning of life. But anyway, God doesn't specify when this time will end, so you can postpone it as long as you like."

The end of "rightness"...the True Creator ponders this new concept.

Edward smiled: "Ally, didn't you dare to let me become a god because you were not strong enough before? Now you have gained the power of a true god and have a higher direction. As a reward, you won't let me become a god. Do you have any more opinions?"

The True Creator replied: "Compared to what I got, your asking price is a bit cheap. Therefore, you must have other gains."

"If you want to make up the difference..."

"In no mood."

In fact, using the symbol of "God" to correspond with the "Kingdom of Heaven" is beneficial to both of us. This kind of mystical connection is good for both of us. When your shadow enveloped the Eastern Continent, I used your eyes to see the land abandoned by God. There was something in the southwest that resonated with me, maybe it was... Edward didn't care: "That's fine, I'm not a fussy god."

"What kind of assistance are you planning to provide to the Southern Continent?"

Edward naturally changed the topic: "It has been almost half a month since the Balam Empire was restored and the God of Death declared war on the Northern Continent. The Northern Continent began to organize effective resistance, and the Intis colony seemed to finally understand that 'the lips disappeared and the teeth disappeared. It will be cold', so we started to provide some limited support to Loen's garrison..."

"But they are easy to get rid of, and they don't have a firm will to fight. They only need a little bribe of gold, spices and silk, a specialty of the Southern Continent."

"While we're fighting down there, let's do business above."

Edward took a sip of his favorite coffee:

"The army of the Balam Empire is actually not very good, and it is all supported by the extraordinary people of the Church of Death. Seventy percent of the hallucinogenic drugs produced in the Southern Continent are sold to the Northern Continent, and 30% are consumed by the Southern Continent. The people are being exploited and helpless. The average life expectancy is less than fifty under the constant high-pressure labor. It is a fool's errand to expect them to form a slightly better army. Now the demigods of the northern continent have joined the battle. They are held back by the garrisons of the two countries. In West Balang After several days of fierce fighting on the Xingxing Plateau, we have not been able to successfully liberate the sixth city."

The True Creator had been preparing for his promotion and did not know much about these battles.

Compared with the situation in the Southern Continent, he is more aware of Backlund's current situation - after the Balam Empire initially took power and continued to take over rebellious cities, the exports of the Southern Continent are getting less and less, and many plantations are ending After one round of cotton picking, it was burned down.

The Church of Death specially set up a team to do this. After burning down the plantation, they quickly drove the living corpses and undead to reopen the fields and plant crops. The team carried one or two items of the "cultivator" path. Sealed objects can make use of land immediately.

In this way, the Balam Empire initially increased its food productivity and reduced its external exports.

The Northern Continent lost its resources and its collapse was particularly obvious.

The export volume of cotton has been greatly reduced, and a large number of textile factories have been forced to lay off employees or even close down. Workers who have lost their jobs either wander the streets in fear all day long, or they pick up signs and take to the streets, trying to get some attention for themselves through demonstrations.

However, the government did not pay much attention to this, and there was no adjustment method that could be effective immediately. After the demonstration, the unemployed workers could only return to the East District to compete with the people in the East District for some hard and tiring jobs, or Become a street girl again in exchange for some food.

The export volume of grain has dropped sharply. Although the Church of Death has not yet recaptured East Balam, they have already reached out to the merchants doing grain business in East Balam. They will receive unknown threats and assassinations if the price of grain is not lowered. , reduce the exit, and the bodies of him and their family members will be hung in front of the church doors of the gods they believe in.

"...Oh, have you ever heard of Javier Reina? I heard that he was the one who resolutely refused to negotiate peace with the Church of Death at that time, believing that the greedy Church of Death would never be satisfied with changing the governor of a city - no matter the outcome Neither the governor nor his companions listened to his advice. A mutiny broke out in the city of Aldera. He died - well, people in the House of Commons now like to use the word 'sacrifice' or 'martyrdom' to refer to him, praising him as a true Excellent Loen people.”

Edward recalled what happened a few months ago with great interest, and combined with the current voice in Loen, he would never get tired of this scene no matter how many times he watched it.

"I'm very familiar with this matter, but I can't remember the name or person at all."

Precious metals, minerals and spices have also been greatly reduced. Loen has iron ore in the country and is not very keen on spices, so it has not been much affected. However, Intis, who abuses spices and precious metals, has been hit hard. The price of domestic luxury goods has skyrocketed. Roen and the other countries in the Northern Continent suffered together.

Now, gold prices have tripled and are gaining momentum.

The turbulent economic and social environment has caused a sharp increase in the number of unemployed people, and discrimination against southerners and people of mixed race has also intensified.

Turmoil and panic are good opportunities for evil gods to develop their faith and attract believers.

Due to the cooperation with the Ernst Foundation and the Pilgrimage Sect, the Aurora Society has recently been baptized with new members, providing the True Creator with Southern Continental and mixed-race children from all walks of life, including many wealthy businessmen with high status in the Northern Continent.

The increase in channels and a large amount of dedication have given the Aurora Society sufficient funds to attract new members. Coupled with the world vision of the true Creator becoming a god, the Aurora Society's status in the secret organization has been rising steadily, and it has been upgraded from the first cult to a cult. King of Kings.

"...I can provide some assistance."

The True Creator said: "I have a responsibility to my believers. The responsibility is to detonate the war as soon as possible and end the war as soon as possible. Since the war situation in the southern continent is stalemate, I will definitely help."

"How are you going to help?"

"I'll send Medici there."

"Your assistance is very good." Edward praised him, "Speaking of which, Medici's recent behavior is quite interesting."

"What?"

"He said he found something interesting in the sewer. He got into a fight with someone in the sewer yesterday, lit a fire, and almost sent half of Backlund into the sky."

Edward smiled and pulled out three wanted notices stamped by the church, offering rewards to anyone who had entered the sewers the night before.

There is no portrait, but a vague figure is drawn very spiritually, and he throws a torch into the sewer with an extremely arrogant gesture.
