Chapter 548 Elusive

826

"I didn't expect it... I didn't expect it!"

After severing the mystical connection with Source Castle, in the dark mausoleum, the shadow figure on the throne let out a thunderous laugh.

"When things have come to this point, I should really thank God and the God of Thunder... If it weren't for Him, I probably wouldn't have been able to escape completely."

"The agreement this time is really incredible. I just returned the 'Miracle Master' and He actually agreed. It must not be that simple. He found an excuse to let me stay here. He must have some other intentions... Haha , Wei Mi agreed to let me take away my way, but I won’t believe that He really has such good intentions. The bargaining chips on both sides are not equal at all, unless He can get more! In addition, He found an excuse to take me away. If I stay on Earth, sooner or later he will probably want to get me involved in the chaos and little games He creates..."

The Son of Chaos is a little curious about the "Lord of Mysteries"'s plan to collect twenty-two paths, but not much.

He didn't think about some things that had nothing to do with Him, and he wasn't interested in them anyway - not to mention that they were related to mysteries. When he thinks that this guy is secretly preparing to do something bad again, the Son of Chaos will think that it is best to quickly distort the memory of what he saw on the Origin Castle, so as not to use it as a foreshadowing in the future... Although Wei Ming may not really do this, but what if.

There was silence in the dark mausoleum for a moment, and huge shadows filled the entire space, flowing slowly.

"What's the purpose of keeping me on earth? But if you just want to take revenge on the God of Thunder, revenge on the incarnation of God, maybe it makes sense... Hehe, instead of guessing his thoughts here, why not think of a way to get rid of Thunder? God can do it, or get out of trouble before He does it. In this way, I can escape without His help, and it shouldn’t matter if I just run away.”

After thinking for a while, the Son of Chaos turned his attention to the little "judge" he controlled.

"Perhaps she is also one of the toys chosen by Mystery?"

"MI9" is basically an intelligence agency directly affiliated with the country, so George Augustus III became equivalent to the country itself after becoming the "Black Emperor", so this organization is basically composed entirely of "arbitrators" and "lawyers" The Division easily became the Emperor's subjects first and foremost, with the Sons of Chaos taking complete control of their minds and hearts. Among them, the Extraordinaries who did not belong to these two paths either became subjects under the subtle influence and atmosphere, or were quietly replaced or disposed of, and replaced by people who were willing to kneel to the emperor.

Hugh Dilcha, this "judge" is a little special.

First of all, it was special about her fate that was affected. Her fate is inconsistent, but it's hard for those around her to notice.

This "arbiter" who had been ordinary for more than ten years and showed no talent has been promoted from Sequence 9 to Sequence 6 by leaps and bounds in one year, and he has learned the acting method without any teacher. It would be impossible if there is no one to guide him. impossible.

As a god and as George III, the Son of Chaos did not pay attention to this little "judge" at first. His scope of activities and authority were limited, and sometimes he had to rely on other extraordinary beings as eyes and ears to understand the outside world. Even so, the "eyes and ears" he selected were all MI9 members who were loyal to him, as well as military officers and some nobles, and they did not pay attention to Xio, a peripheral member.

——The composition of the people who believe in the emperor is also the reason why the God of Thunder cannot directly clean up.

Not to mention that if the Son of Chaos himself is killed, he will immediately find another place to resurrect and escape completely. Even if he is dead, he will still maintain the stability of the country in the tomb. But if these old nobles who are related to the original royal family are , almost all the officers are cleared out, and the entire political system of Loen will instantly collapse into a state that even the God of Thunder will be unable to save.

"Omniscient" may be able to govern the country, but there is a high probability that He is not willing to do so.

What really made the Son of Chaos discover her difference was the pollution, or blessing, given to her by the "Origin Castle", which allowed her to resist her strong top-down control. When the person responsible for contacting her talked about the "Emperor" expressed doubts.

Immediately afterwards, her not too fierce question made the Son of Chaos notice her, and then the aura of the Origin Castle on her body that resisted her own "spiritual control" - half surprised and half angry, the Son of Chaos immediately captured her Hugh Dilcha.

He controlled her mind and spirit, searched for the answer to the mysterious favor in her memory, and discovered that the "apprentice" related to the Abraham family who lived with her was also protected by the Source Castle, and finally discovered the person who had been there all along. The "Tarot Conference" held in Source Castle.

But other than that, Xio herself has no other characteristics. Her being chosen by the Secret also makes the Son of Chaos confused.

Neither Hugh Dilcha nor Forsi seemed to have qualities that would interest the Lord of Mystery, so much so that the Sons of Chaos began to wonder whether the guy on Source Castle was actually Mysterious.

Now, the Sons of Chaos have put that doubt to rest.

"Although it's a bit too generous, it's definitely the mysterious guy... I still have to be careful."

"As for the contract, I can properly express my sincerity in retrospect and then reach a consensus. Anyway, I will not go to Source Castle again."

"As for the little judge, what's her name? She's an interesting guy. Her father discovered George III's plan to become a god, and he also tracked down the guy who dealt with her father's promotion. It seems that she has something to do with me. , no wonder it was noticed by me... Since Wei Mi wants to keep this toy as one of the samples of his collection path, I will return it to him. At most, it will leave some hidden mental damage and subconscious awe for the high-ranking people in this path. , after all, protected by the aura of Source Castle, her self-will has not been completely destroyed by me."

The Son of Chaos thought for a while, and he thought that he might be able to use this "Hugh Dilcha" as part of his sincerity, such as fulfilling one of her wishes, or helping her advance to Sequence 5 or something. But then he thought, since Wei Mi doesn't like his toys to be touched by others, it's better not to do this, lest he get a hot face but a cold butt.

"That's it. It's best if you can stay on the same page as the Mysterious Well. Huh, now I can't even activate the polymerization. It's really embarrassing..."

The Son of Chaos himself has gradually transitioned from "I can't bear to look at myself" to "It's quite relaxing to be locked up", and finally to "It's much more comfortable than staying under the lamp", and gradually reconciled with himself.

Incomplete resurrection and sealing limited most of his power. Otherwise, the Son of Chaos would have directly maximized his aggregation instinct and let the whole family of the Castilian royal family, who is also the "arbiter" in Fenebaud next door, fly over. Got it!

"I don't believe they didn't have the idea of ​​becoming gods, but they were still taken one step ahead by George III. In a sense, he was also very courageous. ... But the "ghost empire" sailing on the sea was not so easy to attract. , that guy Trunsoest is really causing trouble for me even if he is dead. The Kingdom of Disorder must also find opportunities to contact him. After all, I am not always connected like the Demon of Knowledge."

Thinking about it, He disconnected the mental control from Hugh Dilcha, as if throwing a pebble out of his hand.

In Backlund's living room, Xio, who seemed a little confused after losing the emperor's control, slowly woke up. She looked at the burning fireplace, the still steaming tea, and Forsi's closed door, and felt a trace of confusion. Silk is confused.

But she didn't think too much, she instinctively didn't feel anything was wrong. Soon her memory was distorted, automatically filling in every gap and covering up every fragment of memory that did not belong to Hugh Dilcha.

Xio yawned and felt a little sleepy. He put out the fireplace, went back to his room, and soon fell asleep.

…

"Back there," Antigonus said.

The next moment His words reached Bethel's ears, a huge door opened behind. Bethel immediately broke off the fight with the "God of War" in front of him and threw him directly into the door to seal it. Behind him, the square door was like a huge picture frame, with a piece of white paper directly inside. The blurry colors squirm, as if to form a picture scroll.

One of the level 0 sealed objects held by the Abraham family: "Scroll of God"!

The seal of the God of War has no effect on Bethel. He comes and leaves when he wants. Just now, Antigonus helped lower the God of War's IQ for a while. He simply flashed back home and grabbed a seal from his family's station. Things come over.

"Alas." Bert used the "Scroll of God" and recalled the empty sealing room in the family's new residence. Feeling the family's hardship and embarrassment over the past thousand years, he couldn't help but sigh, "There is only There are three level 0 sealed objects left."

"These kids are having it really hard."

Klein:?

He, the great "Fool", has never owned a level 0 sealed object so far. He has touched it, but the highest level one is still the "Poseidon Scepter". Klein, who was standing nearby, didn't know whether he should sigh or laugh, but anyway, he couldn't put a question mark directly on his face like he is now - and, Mr. Bethel, your expression seems to be saying, "This fight is over." Just go and empty out your church”…

Hearing his sigh, Antigonus on the Origin Castle was also moved by the scene. He couldn't help but sigh: "Yes, the Abraham family has really declined. There are only three level 0 sealed artifacts, and they are all It’s from this channel, there’s no way I can use it…”

Klein looked at the lonely expression on Antigonus's face, blinked, and finally gave up thinking.

He is now the Lord of Mysteries, so he can't show envy, nor can he show "there are so many level 0 sealed objects, can you give me one too?"

Well, if the sealed artifacts in your collection are indeed from your own way...then it is really difficult to trade them...but you Fourth Age nobles are really...astonishing...looking at it this way, every one of your families back then The power of the church may be equivalent to that of a church, right?

Klein looked at his eyes, nose and heart, and stopped talking.

He decided to play the role of a waiter calmly, and asked Daniz to get out of bed quickly and offer a cup of local fruit tea.

Bethel also paid attention to the pictures on the scroll and was ready to seal the scroll at any time. As the war situation has become stalemate, Bethel's own spirituality has been reduced to a level that requires attention, but this does not prevent him from commanding the sealed objects of this path.

The "Picture Scroll of God" is a rather special sealed object that can also play a role on the current battlefield. Although it looks like an ordinary oil painting set in a brass frame, the content depicted changes from time to time.

When it presents different locations, the holder can change the area around the target and allow the corresponding scene to appear;

When it takes on the form of different characters, the bearer can cause those characters to attack the target, once for each;

When it presents abstract and difficult-to-understand images, different effects will appear in reality, and currently only a small number of Abrahams have figured out the correspondence;

When it presents a door, opening different 'doors' will move you to different places. The destination cannot be predicted in advance and can be used to exile the target;

When it appears in the dark underground or deep starry sky, it is very dangerous and must be sealed!

If no one is watching or appreciating this oil painting, then the characters in it will come alive, stretch out their hands from the oil painting, and enter the real world little by little. You must pay attention to this when sealing!

This kind of characteristics shows that the extraordinary characteristics that make up it belong to an angel of the Abraham family, who once tried to explore the stars and the underground, and thus established a certain connection with these two extremely dangerous and polluted places. Just like the "Box of the Past", it was quietly contaminated, and finally died one day, leaving behind such a strange and elusive sealed object.

The God of War, who was waiting for an opportunity to attack from the side and rear, subconsciously raised his head. He knew the existence of this level 0 sealed object, so in order to prevent the unknown person in it from leaving the scroll, he immediately paid attention to the content of the picture:

Because the user was Bethel Abraham, the painting quickly showed distinct layers of red as if it had been splashed with blood. The red in the center was bright and deep, like a moon wheel and halo covering the entire canvas!

"You're crazy!!"

Badheir was so shocked that he didn't even bother to hide and roared out.

What’s even more terrifying is that even though there is a god watching the painting, the red moonlight seems to be gradually coming out of the painting, slowly shrouding the direction of Badheir like a veil - he is the goddess of the earth mother. The son has an occult connection with the "Mother Goddess"!

"I'm not crazy."

When Bethel saw the red moon, although he already had a suspicion in his mind, he still couldn't help but feel sick and with chills standing on end. He suppressed the fear and hatred of the Mother Goddess while calling out Antigonus' Source Castle supported him while raising the corner of his mouth:

"It seems you will die before me."

"You crazy person!"

Although the mist-like moonlight was gradually approaching him, Badheir still did not dare to look away for a second. No one stipulates that the existence that can come out of the portrait must be a human image, right? The "red moon", the symbol of the fallen mother goddess, has clearly appeared on the screen. If you look away, it is unimaginable what will happen!

But - as long as you stare at this painting, as long as it is shrouded in moonlight, it is equivalent to accepting this mystical connection. Not responding to "Mother" is not a long-term solution, it just allows you to live a few more seconds.

"This won't do you any good at all. Did you come back to earth just to destroy the world with your will?!"

Bethel also felt a little guilty. He certainly didn't want to use the power of the fallen Mother Goddess. What's more, he had already had a physical dislike of the Mother Goddess. Even after being cleansed of the pollution, he still had the discomfort of wanting to get closer.

‘Is there any way? ’

He asked about the existence on Origin Castle in his mind. He was not sure whether it was Klein, so he did not call his name.

Antigonus was about to give the next instruction, but was shocked by the sudden appearance of the red moon.

As a being of the Fourth Age, the tragedies of Bethel and the Abraham family are still fresh in our minds. He felt his mouth was dry due to the high tension, so he found a fresh cup of fruit tea with lemon leaves suddenly appearing in his hand, and he picked it up and drank it without thinking.

Then he was stunned, and could even be described as shocked. He looked at the glass in his hand with wide eyes, and then slowly looked away to look at the exquisite white porcelain tray that suddenly appeared on the table at his hand. He even saw that there were two smeared with cream on the tray. There was something like a dessert bread dotted with fresh fruits on it. I was immediately stunned and my expression was extremely complicated.

Klein was next to him, holding the large metal tray to his chest like a waiter in a high-end restaurant, and showed a standard eight to Antigonus, whose face was filled with "What are you doing?" and "What have I done?" tooth smile:

"Are you satisfied?"

Antigonus thought this was a warning and teasing from the Lord of Mysteries, and he nodded slowly: "...satisfied, thank you."

"Then do you need anything else?"

"……without thanks."

Klein thought that a good waiter should also be able to provide some suggestions to his employer, so he said: "Perhaps you can try some snacks, salted butter from the northern grasslands and good pastry bread, as well as sea-flavored fruits, I think You might like the taste."

Under Klein's sincere gaze, a layer of tiny goosebumps appeared on Antigonus' arms. He slowly turned his head straight and stopped looking at this weird "Lord of Mysteries". After several seconds , and then he replied submissively:

"I'll try it."

Klein was satisfied and thought that he had played the role of a waiter perfectly.

Immediately afterwards, he saw Antigonus turn his head again with a very complicated expression, then he grabbed a snack with one hand and stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it two or three times and swallowed it directly.

After eating the snack, Antigonus was relieved and asked Klein seriously:

"Can you stop the Mother Goddess from coming?"

Klein was stunned for a moment, and then said in a calm tone:

"I'm just a waiter."

Klein didn't want to express himself in front of "Half Fool". He hoped that Antigonus would solve this matter by himself. Wouldn't it be enough if the Source Castle simply blocked the connection between the painting and the starry sky? But Antigonus seemed to have misunderstood what he meant. After hearing this sentence, he showed a surprised expression, then pointed to the "Scroll of God" below, and tentatively said in an imperative tone:

"Go and get that painting done for me."

Klein:?

TBC

——————

After Antigonus finished speaking anxiously, he saw that the "Lord of Mysteries" who was pretending to be a waiter beside him fell silent, his brows slightly furrowed, and his expression seemed a little unhappy.

But just when he thought something was wrong, he saw the unnatural expression on the face of the "Lord of Mysteries" disappear, naturally turning into a gentle smile, and he even nodded to himself: "Okay."

Immediately afterwards, he suddenly felt that the connection between himself and Origin Castle suddenly became extremely distant. This space was no longer under his control, and the "waiter" stood upright step by step, speaking with an indifferent and contemptuous expression. He stared at the gradually expanding crimson moon halo in the picture, raised his hand, and lightly touched it.

In an instant, the gray mist boiled and rushed directly into the spiritual world from the extremely high altitude of Source Castle. It reacted violently with the red moon halo, and then forced the moonlight back into the picture little by little. A thin layer of red hides beneath the remaining layer of dark gray.

Then, Antigonus' five senses returned to normal, the waiter was still a waiter, and he became the "Fool" in control of Sefirah Castle again.

"I've taken care of it."

"You can continue to do what you want to do, Mr. Fool."

The waiter smiled and said to him. (End of chapter)
