Chapter 268 Today Is Tuesday

553

"Did Death come to see you?"

The True Creator's squinted eyes opened slightly, noncommittal.

Edward curiously guessed in his prayer:

"I saw that His destiny suddenly had some limited intersection with yours. It seems that you may not have agreed to His request."

The True Creator nodded: "Yes, the God of Death came to ask if I am willing to support him to become the eternal darkness if he protects mankind."

"I think it's a good deal."

Edward used nail clippers to trim his nails, and carefully polished the frizzy parts with nail polishers: "It doesn't really matter who Eternal Darkness is. To be honest, I think you intend to continue striving to become God. , you happen to have a strong spirit, I don’t mind helping you, selling you some favors, and I hope you can add a few nails to God’s coffin board. It’s not that you are unsure of your return, and the end of the universe is far from coming. Then do we still need to let an old person participate in the doomsday battle?"

Every time he heard the outer gods talk about the end of the world in an outsider's tone, the True Creator felt very strange.

What may seem like a vital matter to the earth may seem like an ordinary joke to the outside gods.

After all, in the starry sky, the aggregation of extraordinary characteristics allows countless outer gods to constantly meet, fight, die, and devour each other. PVP in the starry sky will never end, and the true gods will start at the peak of the past and will never end until they are restarted. The so-called "doomsday" is just the "doomsday" from the perspective of the earth.

"The God of Death has been able to initially control the tributaries of the River of Eternal Darkness. Although he has not yet returned to his divine position, the God of Night and War have already felt the pressure. Perhaps, they have regretted not killing Shia Eggers together that day." Edward gloated. Said, "Obviously the uniqueness and sequence one are right in front of them, but obviously they have lost the courage to make a desperate move, so they subconsciously think that others don't have it either."

The True Creator calmly said:

"You don't need to say more, I still need further observation... When do you plan to collect your reward?"

The Declined King helped him become a god in one step, and even reestablished contact with the symbol of the ancient sun god. Of course, it is impossible for the true creator to think that this gift is free. Giving things away first, and then collecting rewards. It seems that the Outer God has learned a lot after being on earth for so long.

I didn't expect that one day I would experience the feeling of being forcefully bought and sold again. The true creator felt quite peaceful in his heart.

"Soon."

Edward thought for a while and said:

"The recent possibilities are quite strange. It seems that a writer is suggesting that I go to sea, but this hint comes and goes. It seems to be related to my promotion. I don't understand what he is thinking."

Ince Zangwill is active along the coast and at sea, and seems to have been contaminated by demonic pathways, unable to control his actions. Therefore, although they have contacted the Church of Death, they are still waiting and watching - this is the information provided by Richard. Edward scratched his head after reading it. He did not even remember the name of 0-08's penholder and why. You have nothing to do to pollute him? Since it wasn't him who polluted it, it was someone else who was trying to attract Edward Vaughn's attention.

"Hey, ally, maybe that guy has something to do with me? I remember that he is still the King of Angels. Do you want me to tell you directly when I find him? Then you become a dual-path true god, and I will also become a three-path true god. , we are all one step closer to our goal, and everyone is happy..."

The True Creator hangs up the prayers.

…

The moment he successfully left that weird town and re-entered the spiritual world, Klein was almost moved to tears.

If the time flow rate in the town is consistent with that outside, judging from the sky and location outside, it should be around seven in the morning. After the divination, he immediately chose to return to No. 160 Berklund Street, where he saw that the illusion created by "Magic Mirror" Arrods was still lying on the bed pretending to sleep. It seemed that he had not moved at all all night, and there should be no movement at all. People come to disturb.

It seems that the church hasn't investigated yet... This sleeping position is so awkward... Klein secretly breathed a sigh of relief and saw the figure of "Dwayne Dantès" quickly dissipating and degenerating into a mirror the size of a palm.

On the surface of the mirror, water ripples floated, and silver light rose up, condensing one Rune text after another:

"Great and supreme master, what happened to you? Your humble and loyal servant Arrods couldn't sense you before!"

"Nothing." Klein replied perfunctorily.

This allowed him to initially confirm that "Magic Mirror" Arrods could not see what was going on in the misty town. You know, this guy could even show the environment where Zaratul lost control.

After simply perfunctorily leaving Arrods, he lifted off the bed, put on his nightgown, and then arranged a sacrificial ceremony in the bathroom, sacrificing all the things he shouldn't have to the Origin Castle.

Above the thick gray fog, Klein sat in the front seat and sighed quietly.

"Sequence 0, 'The Fool'..."

The moment he saw this name, all the words spoken by the true Creator flashed into Klein's mind. The shock brought by everything he was unwilling to accept was even greater than when he heard Zaratul announce his name.

He had a strong sense of fate in his heart, feeling that everything had been arranged from the beginning, just like "0-08" did.

"But these things can also be explained by reasons other than 'fate.'"

"Because of that ritual, I became connected with the mysterious space above the gray fog, and I was naturally affected."

"And Source Castle is obviously strongly related to the "divineer" path, and the sequence 0 of this path is called 'The Fool'. Reflecting the reality, if I divine the current situation, I will definitely turn out the 'Fool' card!"

"Similarly, this also led to my subsequent use of the title 'The Fool'."

Klein tapped his fingers on the table. His heart was far less calm than his appearance:

"The True Creator seems to have determined that the person who owns the 'Origin Castle' will definitely become a god and save the world. The Origin Castle is an item that has a strong mystical connection with the 'divineer' path and can constantly attract 'divinationists'. The emergence of items and extraordinary people means that obtaining materials and magic potions will be much more convenient and faster than those without a 'Origin Castle'. If you are strong enough, it is indeed possible to become a god."

From the "Antigonus Family Notes" that appeared when he was still in Tingen, to the "Secret Puppet Master" Rosago who he encountered as soon as he came to Backlund, he directly obtained all the early demons including Sequence 5. Medicine formula. The former gave him a direction for exploration and initial contact with the history of "divineers", and the latter allowed him not to worry about the formula before Sequence 4.

Now, being attracted to the misty town by the connection between fate and mysticism, and seeing the high-sequence Zaratul of the diviner path... Klein has completely understood how powerful the "Origin Castle" can be.

It is simply a super magnet, affecting the fate of everything around it that is related to the "divineer"!

"So what does saving the world mean?"

After being bombarded with many hints and truths from the true Creator, Klein's spirit has become quite strong. He will no longer be as surprised and desperate as when he just learned that "this is the Earth" and is almost out of control. Although he will still feel sad every time he thinks about it afterwards. lonely.

Klein, who is much calmer and has greatly enhanced his receptive ability, has been able to properly analyze the information related to his destiny.

"Well, the Abraham family's diary of wandering in the spiritual world has written about the prophecy of the yellow light 'Winitan'——"

"Looking from the stars, the earth is torn apart? Calculating the time, it seems that it is indeed within the past fifty years. Is this the end?"

Although many doctrines preach that the end of the world is imminent, these are often just a means of promoting and building momentum for those they believe in. If the sky falls, a tall man will hold it up. Besides, besides the evil gods, there are seven righteous gods in this world. What kind of apocalypse can't be resisted?

Klein thought for a while and couldn't come to a conclusion, so he put the matter behind him temporarily, hoping to get further answers from future explorations.

He adjusted his mindset and turned his attention to the rewards of this adventure.

"Sequence 4: Magician.

"Main materials: The main eye of the trickster and the evil spirit, the true soul of the predator in the spiritual world.

"Supplementary materials: 200 ml of trickster's blood, 30 grams of spiritual predator dust, 10 grams of red birch bark, a section of golden grapevine, and a finger-sized homemade rubber mask.

"Promotion ceremony: relying mainly on one's own strength and planning, in the presence of a large audience, directing a grand drama to murder a demigod or an equivalent supernatural creature, and then, at the end of the drama, consume the devil medicine."

Klein didn't have time to think about what this ritual represented, so he wrote the corresponding sentence below the potion formula.

Then, he summoned the pendulum from the debris, held it with his left hand, and began to divine.

Not long after, Klein opened his eyes and saw the citrine pendant rotating clockwise.

This means that the "Cunning Mage" potion formula in his hand is correct!

"For Zaratul, as long as the door is opened and there is interaction between the inside and the outside, his purpose will be achieved. And those who witness the out-of-control 'divineer angel' will inevitably lose control and die, so is the recipe written correctly? It doesn’t matter if it’s wrong…”

But He wrote the right one, and that was a bonus.

Otherwise, Klein would probably have no choice but to try his luck at the Aurora Society, or ask for help from other high-sequencers.

"Since the True Creator came, Will Auceptin is not very willing to talk to me. Even if he communicates, it must be during the dream divination in Sefirah Castle. It seems that he pays attention to avoiding the eyes of the True Creator. …”

Klein can understand it completely. After all, the true Creator has no relationship with Will Ascetin, but he still has the "Angel of Destiny" Ourolius who is looking for Sequence One and Uniqueness. He and Will Ascetin Ting has been fighting for many years.

Klein doesn't feel that he has the weight to influence the gods' thoughts. Even if he does, the final solution is probably for the true creator to not intervene and let the two snakes of destiny compete on their own.

Perhaps the best outcome would be for the loser to stay alive.

"Will Will feel the same way, so he continues to keep in touch with me?" Klein smiled bitterly.

After sorting out all his thoughts, he returned to the bathroom without further delay.

554

In the East District, in a two-story house.

It was almost five o'clock, and Maria was sitting by the window on the second floor, staring at the street in the distance, and the coffee in her hand had gone cold.

After a while, her eyes widened slightly, but then her brows furrowed and her fingers clenched into fists.

The person sitting opposite her picked up a piece of shortbread from the plate and looked out the window:

"They're back?"

"came back."

Maria's expression was solemn. After a few minutes, a middle-aged man with a face as pale as a living corpse walked up the stairs quickly, holding a stack of bound documents, and said with a sad face:

"Miss Maria, the port still won't let you go."

Maria took a sip of the cold coffee:

"What's the reason this time?"

"The reason this time is... the Rhoside Islands has closed the port we want to dock at due to the war in the Southern Continent and will not allow us to pass through. Miss Maria, do you want to change it?"

Before Maria could speak, the dark green-eyed gentleman sitting opposite sneered:

"It's useless. Even if you change the information, when you apply again tomorrow, they will say that the port you changed has been closed, and the day after tomorrow it will be said that this route has been suspended. After all, they are the official, even if it is not closed It’s also closed. You can’t dock at a private port, right?”

"Last time, the reason was that the ship was not up to standard. Last time, there was a problem with the identity of the leader. It took half a month to go back and forth, and it's been more than six months now. They just won't let you go. You can't fight them within the system. If this continues, no one will be able to leave."

"Nowadays, a few gas bills can be used as proof of identity, but you have a complete and traceable household registration but you are not allowed to leave. Isn't this deliberately making things difficult?"

Maria remained silent and drank up the ice-cold coffee in one gulp.

The living corpse clenched the document in his hand, and there was anger in his voice:

"Our identities are all true... They have been registered with the government and the church! But they actually said that we were trying to hide criminals, threatened us to apply to the Severas Field and even the church to intervene in the investigation, and even openly asked me Asking for a bribe...Miss Maria, this should be what the church means, right? Because of the leader’s matter!”

"Bringing your little monsters with you won't work either?"

Gavin's expression became subtle: "It's useful... that means he is the only one who passed the review."

"The church seems to have suddenly remembered that we are members of a secret organization."

Maria put down the cup and spoke in a deep voice: "Usually we are allowed to move freely just because we are not aggressive. The organization's teachings are also to protect children and the weak, and to stabilize the people at the bottom, which is beneficial to them."

"Let's not talk about this for now." Maria looked at Gavin, "How many children are firmly willing to come with us?"

"Almost all the children of mixed race and southern continent are willing, 122 in total. The remaining children are because they are already 12 or 13 years old, have completed basic reading, writing and sewing courses, and think they have the ability to make a living." Gavin answered.

After discussion, the leaders of the Pilgrimage Sect chose to give priority to children with Southern Continent and maritime ancestry.

Because under the same conditions, children from the Northern Continent face less discrimination and can participate in more jobs. Moreover, children from the Northern Continent are at certain risks when traveling to the Southern Continent. As the war situation gradually intensifies, the lives of the children in the Southern Continent who are still in the Northern Continent will also be threatened.

Even in terms of belief, the latter is more flexible.

"I am responsible for the lives of the children. Since they have treated us as dangerous elements, we will use the methods of dangerous elements."

Maria said: "There are ready-made ships. The people have been assembled a long time ago. As long as we enter the high seas, the leader can come to help. With my strength, it is entirely possible to lead some people to escape, but the remaining people The situation will become dangerous.”

She looked at Mr. Z and said openly: "I want to seek help from the Aurora Society."

Mr. Z told her equally cheerfully: "We are willing to help. We only need one or two sealed items that can travel through the spirit world."

"If the spiritual world does not have an impact on the child, you can just appear at the designated place in the southern continent."

"Thank you for your generosity."

Maria showed a smile: "I will always remember the help of the Aurora Society, and please thank the Dark Saint for me."

"There is no need to be polite between you and me. The Lord said that helping our friends is helping ourselves." Mr. Z smiled, but then returned to his serious expression, "But this is equivalent to a level 1 sealed item, even if I use it You need to apply, and the Dark Saint needs to report to the higher-ups when he leaves Backlund with it. You must act quickly, and you must also consider other cities. It just so happens that I don’t have any other work in the afternoon, why don’t you and I go to the factory? , just complete the procedures for withdrawing the sealed artifact today."

"Okay. Thank you for your hard work."

Maria also hoped that the matter would end soon and immediately nodded in agreement. She turned around and gave Gavin a few words, then stood up and left the East District with Mr. Z, heading for the factory area outside the city.

It was already six o'clock when we arrived at the factory belonging to the Aurora Club. It was already evening, and the fragrant aroma of mashed potatoes and beef wafted from the cafeteria.

The workers left the workshop one after another, talking and laughing among themselves and heading to the canteen. Mr. Z and Maria were not conspicuous among them.

At this moment, Maria's spirit moved. She suddenly turned her head and looked at a strange man with brown hair and blue eyes not far away who looked a little arrogant and was also sizing her up.

Mr. Z, who was half a beat too slow to react, quickly turned his head.

"It's a friend." He whispered, "The new envoy."

Maria let her guard down a little, and the stranger looked away. Mr. Z walked forward and spoke to the stranger in a low voice:

"Why didn't you inform me before you came?"

"His Excellency the Saint said that I can report to him directly." Klein looked down at Mr. Z and spoke rather disapprovingly.

Well, the Blessed One is amazing. Mr. Z stabbed Klein’s villain in his heart and asked again:

"What are you doing here?"

I saw the corners of Mr.

"I'm very lucky. I got a Sequence 4 potion formula. I want to see what good things I can get in exchange."

Mr. Z's eyes suddenly opened wide.
