Chapter 534: Close Before Your Eyes

813

Backlund, West District, Audra's villa.

Emlyn left the Harvest Church, moved quickly under the looming moonlight, and soon arrived at the door of his old friend's house.

He knocked hard on the door. He thought he would have to wait for a while, but he didn't expect that within a few seconds, the door opened in front of him - the low-level vampire servant who opened the door seemed to have just woken up. It seemed that because of the previous Because of the wind that cured many people's illnesses, as well as the Thunder Church priests who made a lot of noise in the middle of the night, not many people in Backlund could sleep now.

A few minutes later, Emlyn took off his coat and sat on the leather sofa in the living room. His sitting posture seemed relaxed but in fact his muscles were tense. He was a little anxious, but still waited patiently for Baron Casimi to arrive.

Not long after, the middle-aged gentleman-like Vampire Baron entered the living room, glanced at Emlyn and said:

"Viscount White, why did you come to visit late at night?"

Emlyn kept calm and smiled:

"Isn't this the beginning of the day? Look, the red moon outside the window is so beautiful."

Casimi really wanted to reply to this young vampire - don't you still retain the habits you developed when you were at Harvest Church? You have always maintained a "good routine" of getting up at seven in the morning and falling asleep before eleven at night. ? But after hesitating for a moment, thinking that Emlyn was now Sequence 5, he resisted the urge and said instead:

"What's the matter with you?"

Emlyn raised his hand and patted the dress, pulled down his tie, stood up little by little, and said seriously and seriously:

"Tell Lord Nibais that I have just received the blessing and revelation from the ancestor, and that the Church of the Mother Earth has obtained the right to preach in Loen, and the Harvest Church will be reopened."

...gained it again... Qasimi asked instinctively: "What are you talking about?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly woke up, thinking of the abnormality that happened in Backlund, and his expression became serious:

"You, me, what is the revelation of the ancestor? What does the Church of the Mother Goddess of the Earth obtain the missionary rights of Loen and what does it have to do with us? We have never participated in the faith disputes in human society. Why should I tell Lord Nibais? Such a thing?"

Emlyn enjoyed the various feelings of this moment and responded with a smile:

"That's right. Maybe you didn't realize what happened."

As he spoke, he took out a neatly folded piece of paper from his arms and unfolded it towards Casimi, revealing a portrait similar to a sketch, with simple paint instead of paint - this was Emlyn's wanted Order, in the corner are the official seals of the Church of the God of Thunder and the Church of the Night, and his identity is written as a fugitive cultist of the Church of the Mother Goddess of the Earth. He is extremely dangerous. If you provide clues to the church, you can get a reward of 100 pounds.

This wanted poster is a bit old, it seems that it has been weathered for a period of time.

Qasimi's eyes flickered a few times and said:

"Why did you bring your wanted poster here?"

"You injured many extraordinary members of the church during your resistance in the past, and you also sold extraordinary medicines. Even if you obtain the right to preach, you still..."

Emlyn frowned: "Why don't you understand?"

But thinking about it carefully, the ancestor rarely gave revelations, but he had two revelations on his head this year. Emlyn couldn't help but feel sorry for these ordinary people who were not sensitive enough.

"I took this off the list of bounty hunters in the East End."

Emlyn glanced at him and replied with a smile:

"I disappoint you, Qasimi. When I went there, others were throwing away this wanted notice. Because the Church of Thunder canceled the wanted notice on me, and - it seemed to be the request of the Church of the Mother Earth, let me become a Director of Harvest Church.”

"And I just received the revelation from the ancestor just before, and the ancestor asked me to go to the Harvest Church."

"Speaking of this, you should understand, right? Why, as the beloved of the ancestor, have I been invited by the Church of the Mother Goddess more than once? Why do the Churches of the Mother Goddess always draw vampires into it to become priests..."

Emlyn drawled his voice meaningfully, and then stopped talking.

This was a little communication skill he had just learned, and he thought it was cool and in line with his own preferences.

At the same time, through his own experience in the East District during this period and the previous teachings of the Tarot Society, Emlyn also realized that only by remaining mysterious can the senior vampires have a certain degree of fear, so that these people who have not received the inspiration from the ancestors can People believe that their status as a favored one is true.

Without waiting for Qasimi to respond, looking at the other party's colorful face, Emlyn felt that he had nothing to say. As he buttoned his coat, he passed the baron and walked towards the door of the drawing room.

When he was about to go out, Emlyn stopped for a moment without looking back. He straightened his back and looked straight ahead:

"On the day Harvest Church is repaired, I hope I can see you there, my friend."

"By the way, maybe you can call me Earl soon."

With the blessing of the ancestor, the attention of the "Moon", and the olive branch that the Church of the Earth Mother has extended more than once before, he is full of confidence in his future as the demigod "Witch King".

The muscles on Qasimi's face twitched, but he remained silent. When Emlyn left, he twisted his expression uncontrollably.

As a vampire that existed during Russell's time, he was older than Emlyn by an unknown number of years. But until now, he is still just a baron, just a little better than those without titles, and Emlyn, the younger generation who once became a joke in the Backlund vampire circle, is about to cross the boundary between gods and mortals and become The "Witch King" of Sequence 4, the Count of the Vampire Clan.

A year is not too long for humans, and for vampires, time flies by. No one could have imagined that Emlyn would actually complete his transformation in just a year or so, and even grow up rapidly after the accident a few months ago.

This made Qasimi not lose his composure, how not to be jealous, how not to be shocked.

After spending several minutes controlling his emotions, he entered the underground area, passed through several secret doors, and came to the gray hall where Nibais slept:

"Grandfather, Emlyn White believes that there is a certain connection between the First Ancestor and the Earth Mother."

"He claimed to have received the revelation from the ancestors, but he became the new manager of the Harvest Church..."

It didn't take long for Qasimi to summarize what Emlyn had just said. After listening to what he said, there was no sound for a short time in the heavy coffin made of black iron. After three or four seconds, Nibai Si then spoke:

"What happened to him is beyond imagination..."

The voice of the vampire marquis was deep and old, with a slight hoarseness, which echoed in the hall.

"Grandfather, Emlyn's idea may not be right. This may just be because he helped the Church of the Mother Earth, so the church gave him some special preferential treatment. It does not mean that the ancestor..." Kassimi was unwilling to argue and tried to argue. What are you wearing?

Nibais's voice became a little louder:

"madness!

"Even if the Earth Mother Goddess has nothing to do with the ancestor, she is still a true god! Now Emlyn has become the head of this diocese. Have you ever seen a bishop who can become the head of a diocese before he becomes a demigod? In Backlund, the archbishop of the church are all demigods!"

"Emlyn's promotion to Demigod is already doomed. If he gets the favor of the Earth Mother Goddess, the next step may be to use him as a breakthrough to start to divide and win over us vampires who have settled in Backlund!"

"Don't say these words again in the future, but don't have too much contact with Emlyn either."

After yelling a few words like this, Nibais coughed twice, appearing to be struggling.

Qasimi's face turned blue and white, and finally calmed down:

"Then...his ceremony? He still needs to be made an earl. Is it the Church of the Mother Earth, or are we going to prepare it for him?"

"There is no need to bring this matter up proactively." Nibais asked in return, and then sighed, "There is no doubt that Emlyn has received the favor of the gods, but whether the mother goddess is our ancestor, I don't know for the time being. He will not make a statement unless he can prove himself..."

…

"Deng Shen No. 2? Look at what you said. If Mystique wants to make me Deng Shen No. 2, can you stop me? How are you going to stop me? Incarnate a part of God on the spot and let God stop me?"

"But if you mention this to me, then I have to ask you."

After a friendly provocation, Edward did not feel offended and continued to ask the Demon of Knowledge with a smile:

"Let's change our thinking. If you are caught by the secret one day... don't stare at me with prying eyes. I mean maybe, if the two candidates you selected all failed, and then the secret notices your The purpose, He deliberately came to torment you... Will you want to stay in an oil lamp, or will you want to become a magic pen that can draw anything?"

"A magic pen, sounds pretty good."

After saying this, the Demon of Knowledge was silent for a moment:

"But it also depends on where 'I' am at that time."

"Suppose you are in the same situation as the Djinn." Edward said, "Your essence has been sealed by mystery, your 'perfection' has become mentally retarded in the starry sky, and you, who has an IQ, have been randomly thrown into a place where the level of civilization is insufficient. It’s a small planet with no extraordinary properties.”

"That is not bad."

The Demon of Knowledge spoke without hesitation: "The worst-case scenario is to be carried along by the Secret, but as long as I still have a certain degree of freedom, even if I lose the 'Perfect' and be deprived of the ability to communicate, I will use various methods to Play the role of 'god' and start leading the 'civilization' of that planet forward. It will take some time, but within three thousand years, I can give even the reptiles on that planet the ability to travel long distances into the stars. After that, as long as I use extraordinary Just gather them together and let me meet the mentally retarded 'Perfect'."

As long as we can return to the stars, everything is no problem.

Therefore, although the Djinn was not brought with him by Mystery, the biggest problem he encountered was obviously that he could not leave the barrier.

"By the way, why are you acting like a provocateur now."

The Demon of Knowledge recalled how many words Edward had said overtly and covertly since he made it clear that he wanted to get a Lord of Mysteries out, which were not sowing discord but were not too friendly either. Combined with his previous behavior, the Demon of Knowledge can understand.

This is because he has no direct grudges with the Lord of Mysteries, so he is willing to give some small help to the candidates.

From this perspective, my compatriot's aversion to mystery also started when the source of essence was snatched and sealed. In a sense, his situation is similar to his own. If Klein is replaced as a candidate for God, and the soothsayer is replaced as a reader, then the Demon of Knowledge will definitely pursue Klein to the ends of the earth, or use Klein to combine three copies of Sequence One and Uniqueness after he becomes a god. All in the bag.

"Of course I know that the agreement between me, Bethel and Klein is very fragile, but there is no solid agreement in our world, right? There is no need for you to remind me like this all the time."

Edward shrugged.

"But you're right, it's not time for Klein to be promoted yet."

The Demon of Knowledge folded his hands into his spacious sleeves and narrowed his eyes slightly: "His limit is at the moment when he is promoted to Sequence One. If he tolerates uniqueness, he will lose control on the spot and suffer disaster along with Bethel. But if things continue to develop, He will definitely be forced by the God of Thunder to accommodate the uniqueness, so what I have to do now is to put an end to all this immediately."

"A kind of termination?"

Edward gestured: "Now?"

"No, it's not time to stop. I'm not sure now, and you may not be able to get away. I just need to hold him down so that he can't interfere with the actions of those three little tricksters." The Demon of Knowledge thought of something, Suddenly he laughed, "It's not completely impossible to kill him. As long as Bethel becomes a dual-path true god, it's enough. But he seems to be getting along well with Klein, so there's no hope."

"Do you want me to help you? I think I'm quite free now."

"No, if you help me, I won't be able to exchange for the remaining Secret Attendant from you."

After saying this, the body of the Demon of Knowledge suddenly turned into data and was silently integrated into the information of the spiritual world.

He has lost his actual existence, but has completely become information, becoming the direction and position in the spiritual world, integrated into the creatures in the spiritual world and the surrounding environment - that is a data flow that can fill the entire spiritual world in an instant, or even more than enough! Now it is precisely controlled, wrapping things in the spiritual world like a soft and imperceptible spider web, even the fighting gods are not aware of it.

The invisible "peeping into secrets" allows you to have a panoramic view of all the subtle changes in your surroundings.

He did not forge himself a huge divine body like the God of Steam and Machinery, use mysticism to eliminate friction and create the ultimate "idealized perpetual motion machine" to construct a super processor, so powerful that it requires angels to burn their lives. Only then can he barely push an arm.

He doesn't need to, because with "peeping into secrets" as his base, he can easily obtain all the information he wants.

The light that cannot be detected by the naked eye turned into countless meteors and gathered around the God of Knowledge. He classified and filtered the data according to his own needs... Klein's current "Miracle Master" digestion progress is less than 60%, and the promotion ceremony "has nothing to do with the outside world." The completion progress of "Secret Puppet Town with Certain Interaction" is less than 20%, and the abnormally crazy probability of being promoted to "Secret Attendant" without any intervention is as high as 98%;

Bethel Abraham's damage is 10%, his condition is 87% stable, there is no risk of losing control in a short period of time, and there are signs of fatigue;

Through the "Seize Body" technique, the communication records between target one Bethel Abraham and target two Klein Moretti are remotely retrieved. Memory is also information... Abnormal events were retrieved, and Klein Moretti's It seems that his family discovered his current identity and status?

Enter a new search target, Benson Moretti and Melissa Moretti...Rented house, surrounding residents...conversation records, visitor identity, time of departure, carriage structure...No information can be collected around the Jowood area !

Data retrieval ends.

"Is that the area protected by the God of Thunder? Huh? He is paying attention to what's going on there."

"Secret" bumped into "Omniscient" on the edge of the Jowood district where the Cathedral of the Holy Wind is located.

The acquisition of information suddenly stopped, and countless eyes all over the sky looked at the Holy Wind Cathedral at the same time, where there was darkness.

"Why does the God of Thunder pay attention to those two people? Could it be that Klein Moretti is still emotionally affected by two mortals..."

The Demon of Knowledge was a little surprised, and then felt that it was expected. After all, Klein had made great determination to attack the God of Thunder: "I thought he didn't go home because he had been cut off after death. I thought about my relationship with my family, but I didn’t expect...that boy is from the Western Continent, right? But he doesn’t seem to understand the meaning of 'Tao' and 'Ruthlessness' at all..."

The Demon of Knowledge from the Western Continent in the old era didn't know much about it. After all, he was "beaten to death" at that time. He lost a lot of data and precious historical information due to his own problems, and he only slowly recovered later.

“Intercepting prayer messages?”

That prayer from a mortal who did not believe in him was weak even when compared with other followers of Klein, and could easily be blocked and cut off. This idea flashed through the mind of the Demon of Knowledge for a moment, but he did not do it.

Because He "saw" the loud noise in the spiritual world at the same time - the extraordinary power exploded, and all kinds of messy colors and symbols were superimposed together, like bombs, and were thrown by Bethel to the entangled God of War and Antigonus. On the body, for the demon of knowledge, the visual shock is much greater than the auditory information.

He roughly assessed Antigonus's condition, and suddenly an alarm bell rang in his heart.

The next moment, the thunder directly tore apart the countless secret-peeping eyes surrounding Loen's sky.

The data structure was modified and overwritten by the "omniscient", but the next moment it suddenly grew and iterated new branches along the original data tree. The seemingly fragile thin layer of knowledge barrier could not be destroyed immediately, just like a strong wind hitting the flexible tree. cobweb.

TBC

——————

Klein's spirituality suddenly shook. He subconsciously looked at the center of the explosion. He felt that his spirituality was crazily hinting at something.

A white mask appeared in his eyes.

Very strangely, Klein accurately saw the mask directly among the mixed symbols and the crumbling spiritual space, but he did not see Antigonus. Moreover, it seems that Bethel did not realize that the uniqueness of “The Fool” was clearly displayed in front of him.

Immediately afterwards, a prayer sound appeared in Klein's ear, like a radio with poor signal, intermittent and mixed with the noise of electricity.

"The savior of Silver City..."

"Miracle Master...Blessed One of Knowledge..."

The voice seemed to read it over and over again.

"Please tell me...my brother Klein Moretti..."

"where are you now?"
