Partis Island, New City of Silver.
The crimson Moon rose, and the city, whose buildings and roads were several sizes larger than other cities, was shrouded in soft and somewhat eerie moonlight, and gradually became quiet.
Some residents of City of Silver with strong inspiration have discovered that Moon seems to have grown a lot in the past year. However, when comparing with other fixed reference objects, they found that this is not the case. They can only attribute it to The change in mysticism may be related to the fact that Church of the Evernight Goddess no longer preaches the prayers related to "Moon", but Church of the Earth Mother writes Holy Bible.
Standing on the balcony with the protruding waist of the Twin Towers dome, "Sun" Derrick took one last look at the somewhat coquettish Crimson Moon, turned back and entered the tower, and walked down the spiral staircase paved with black stone tiles.
He walked very slowly, as if there was something terrifying at the bottom of the tower. His eyes kept scanning the Black-Faced Grass growing in the gaps between the masonry of the walls on both sides, watching them sometimes hang down and sometimes sway in the wind.
Arriving at the lobby at the bottom of the tower where the spire tower with public facilities such as the library and the dome tower of the "Council of Seven" office are connected to each other, Derrick saw Waite Chirmont, who was bare-headed, with dark green symbols tattooed on his head, and neatly dressed in armor, and Luvia Tiffany, who was wearing a purple-striped black robe and had an increasingly gorgeous appearance.
The former became "Silver Knight" before City of Silver evacuated "Forsaken Land of the Gods" and came to this land with sunshine. He has a calm personality and rich combat experience. The latter has recently become "Silver Knight". He was promoted to "Trinity Templar". It is said that he has Grazing the souls of five Saint, and is New City of Silver the strongest Beyonder.
Before the promotion, through the matchmaking of Derrick, "Justice" Miss came to provide a thorough psychological treatment for Lovia who suffered from schizophrenia due to the psychological shadow left by the death of his lover. Currently, Lovia no longer has any hidden dangers psychologically and Spirit Body.
Except for the rotating chief Your Excellency, the strongest members of the council are all here... Derrick, who has been promoted to "Justice Mentor" and is digesting Potion in the process of practicing his inner beliefs, thought about it, nodded to his two companions, and headed towards the stairs leading to the underground.
Going all the way down, passing through the deep and dark dungeon and the area where the "1" level Sealed Artifact was sealed, the three of them came to a double stone door.
Before Derrick could make a move, his height gradually shrank after two promotions to the Saint level, and he was almost the same as an ordinary woman in the outside world. Therefore, Lovia, who looked petite and cute in the City of Silver with an average height of more than two meters, was the first to arrive in front of the stone door and steadily pushed the heavy door open.
I always feel that Ms. Lovia has become much more cheerful after receiving psychological treatment. The change in height may be caused by High Sequence's ability to master Flesh Magic, but she pays more attention to dressing up and no longer has an autistic personality and a gloomy expression. She is not The changes in Potion can be explained... Derrick looked at Lovia's petite back, and suddenly remembered the younger one among the two shadowed extra heads that grew on the shoulders of "Trinity Templar" during the battle.
While his thoughts continued, the three of them had entered the core of Underground Area along the damp stairs surrounded by wheat mushrooms and Black-Faced Grass.
This is a large room with a height of nearly ten meters and a radius of tens of meters. Although it does not have any windows or candlelight, it is filled with dots of morning light, filled with the smell of earth and the fragrance of flowers and plants. The ceiling and surrounding walls are covered with Black-Faced Grass, dancing together with the plants on the ground.
But compared with the warm and vibrant scene, an invisible aura of desolation and death instantly enveloped the three of them. Derrick immediately came to Waite and Lovia, allowing himself to emit sacred sunlight, connecting with the surrounding morning light, repelling the power of death.
In front of him, a withered tree trunk that almost touched the ceiling was inserted into a mound higher than the surrounding land. The human-shaped pattern growing out of the hollow tree heart was facing here, and blood seemed to be growing in the wooden texture.
This is New City of Silver one of the most important and dangerous Sealed Artifact: Gift of the Land.
Normally this piece is equivalent to the "mother" Pathway Sequence 2, but Sealed Artifact, which has no Beyonder Characteristic residue inside, can be completely suppressed by another Grade 0 Sealed Artifact "Crown of Glory", but now, the seal has been actively weakened.
Because City of Silver is going to make a transaction tonight, a transaction with the "Eternal Blazing Sun" church, using this Sealed Artifact that is difficult to control, difficult to use, and useless to City of Silver's current situation, in exchange for a copy of Sequence 2's "Lightseeker" characteristic.
During the more than two thousand and five hundred years of being trapped in darkness, "Gift of the Land" brought City of Silver enough food to survive, and also brought the unbearable "Kinslaying Curse". This Affliction has long been integrated with the blood of all residents and has become a part of history.
Now, they finally have the opportunity to dispose of this relic from "Omebella" in exchange for the birth of a Angel belonging to City of Silver.
Moreover, this can also free up "Crown of Glory" who spends almost all of his time suppressing this Sealed Artifact. Whether it is used by the old but experienced Colin Iliad, or given to Waite Chirmont in his prime, it can give them the opportunity to be promoted to Sequence 2.
Using one Sealed Artifact, which only has trouble left, in exchange for two Angel, this is undoubtedly a good deal when Apocalypse is about to come. The only thing Derrick is confused about is, what is the use of Church of the Eternal Blazing Sun with "Gift of the Land"?
Although the outside world did not know it, Derrick had already learned about the death of God from Tarot Club's communication, and had discussed the matter on a small scale within City of Silver, so the three people present knew it. White Church of the Eternal Blazing Sun no longer has the real God, and there is a high probability that there are only two copies of the characteristics of Sequence 1, three to five for Angel, and no more than ten for Grade 0 Sealed Artifact.
This is not even as good as "Church of the Fool" and "The End Church"... Derrick thought and looked sideways at Lovia, who had come with him to participate in the transaction to prevent the other party from having evil intentions. He was even more curious about why this member of the discussion group who originally had a radical attitude and eccentric personality did not object to the transaction.
Does she already know that the current Eternal Blazing Sun is almost equal to the "True Creator"? Is this related to her improving mental state? She did not mention the source of her Potion promotion to Sequence 3. Could it be the gift from that God...
With so many thoughts in his mind, Derrick was about to say something when he suddenly felt something. The sacred light released by himself suddenly burst out, almost filling the entire underground space, swallowing up all the morning light spots from "Crown of Glory", covering the three people and the dry tree trunks in front of them in the scorching sunlight.
But these lights did not belong to Derrick, but quickly condensed to another location, outlining a figure with wings on its back. His appearance was beautiful and holy, and his body covered in pure white robes floated in the air. His bare feet touched the ground, and his hands were slightly raised, as if embracing all things.
Angel——This was the first reaction of Derrick and others when they saw each other. It was not the awareness of the extraordinary Sequence, but an evaluation of the appearance of the figure with Angel light wings.
The light gradually faded and solidified into the golden light on the body of this lady with almost white blond hair and the wings on her back slowly converging. Only then did Derrick see the other person's appearance clearly, and immediately lowered her head and said respectfully:
"Saint Viève Your Highness, we are ready for the transaction."
The arrival of this woman who had recently been promoted to Sequence 1 "White Angel" did not surprise him. After all, she was Church of the Eternal Blazing Sun's only female Angel, so she naturally had certain advantages when carrying "Gift of the Land".
If Saint instead of Angel comes to receive this Sealed Artifact, there is a high probability that he will die the moment he touches it.
Hearing his words, the pure white Angel nodded slightly and looked at the dry tree trunk.
As if being illuminated by the midday sun, the gaps in the tree bark that were originally bloodshot expanded like dry cracks, and the hollow position that formed the female bust also changed. The face was extremely Distortion, like Affliction, and seemed to be shouting something.
Like meeting an enemy? There is another feeling of finding a relative, no, a daughter meeting her father... Derrick also looked at "Gift of the Land", feeling inexplicably emotional.
But as the sunlight in front of him became more intense and enveloped the tree trunks, Derrick had to squint his eyes and became a little wary.
"White Angel" Saint Viève didn't plan to snatch Sealed Artifact and run away, right? He forced himself to open his eyes and turned to the other side, only to find that the woman suspended in the air had indeed disappeared.
The tree trunk buried in the mound was also swallowed up by the sunlight and disappeared completely. What remained in the place was only a ray of sunlight that seemed to have solidified into substance, exuding a holy and scorching atmosphere under the light spots of the morning light.
It's Beyonder Characteristic of "Lightseeker"... Derrick, who is also Pathway Sequence 3, immediately understood. He was excited at first, and then felt a sense of loss that "Gift of the Land" had really left.
He turned to look at Waite and Lovia beside him, and found that there was no joy on their faces that the transaction was successfully completed, only the confusion that they had lost something.
Southern Continent, an ancient castle located on the outskirts of the city, hidden among mountains and dense forests.
This place was previously a residence built by Vampire among the "Primordial Moon" believers. After this group of evil god believers were expelled and eliminated, it fell into the hands of Sanguine of Church of the Earth Mother, and became a gathering place for these Beyonder who did not like living in a sunny city.
"Moon" Emlyn, like "Sun" Derrick thousands of miles away, stood in front of the high floor-to-ceiling windows, looking at Crimson Moon in the sky, which looked much larger than before.
Of course, in the eyes of ordinary people, this is just an ordinary night, and Moon does not reach the level of "Blood Moon".
But in Emlyn's view, Moon was dreamy and coquettish, as if he was about to fall towards Earth Mother, making his Spirituality boil.
What gave him this uneasy feeling was not only the rhythm of Spirituality under Crimson Moon, but also the dream that woke him up in the evening.
Those were the instructions given to him by Sanguine's ancestor Lilith, who was hiding in the dark and only the outline of the plump Gentle Beauty appeared. He hoped that he could be promoted as soon as possible when Apocalypse came, protect Sanguine members, and help everyone get through Apocalypse's expectations.
He has not verified the authenticity of the dream omen with Church of the Earth Mother's Blessed, but instinctively believes that it is true, because it does not involve certain specific matters, and helping Sanguine compatriots has always been what he, the "savior", is doing.
The only question is, is the entrustment of the ancestor Lilith only to Emlyn, or to all Sanguine? Does this indicate that the ancestor is about to encounter some difficulties, or even risk his death?
Emlyn, who has witnessed the death of digital God in recent years, no longer thinks that God is an eternal existence. They are powerful, but not immortal.
Just when his thoughts were turbulent, Spirituality of Emlyn noticed something. He left the huge floor-to-ceiling window facing Crimson Moon, returned to the inside of the castle, and saw a visitor in the reception hall.
"Ms. Sharron."
Emlyn subconsciously straightened the collar of his tuxedo, and Gentlemen saluted the young woman who appeared on the sofa at some unknown time.
The blond lady wearing a Gothic palace dress and a small soft hat sat upright like an exquisite puppet. She just nodded in response to Emlyn's etiquette, then picked up an envelope from her knees together and handed it directly to him.
No matter how many times I see it, I always think it is a perfect puppet. At that time, I thought it would be perfect if Ms. Sharron couldn't move or speak. Now she really doesn't speak... Could it be because the "puppet" stage has been completed and she was promoted to Sequence 3... Emlyn was startled and hid her emotional changes well. She sat opposite Sharron, took the envelope and opened it to read.
It was a letter of introduction that had been written long ago. It was obviously written by Sharron himself. Compared with his taciturn and indifferent appearance, the letter sincerely thanked Sanguine for cooperating with "Temperance Faction" many times in the past two years to eliminate the followers of Indulgence Faction and "Primordial Moon". Then it talked about several important things they are currently doing.
First, Angel and Saint of Temperance Faction received a commission from "The End Church" to find the remains of a deceased named "Zedus". During his lifetime, he was suspected to be Angel of "Moon" Pathway, but after his death, he was divided into different parts, or appeared in certain places due to aggregation, or was regarded as Sealed Artifact because of the remaining power. After thousands of years, it is difficult to find his trace.
Temperance Faction, who belongs to Church of the Fool, actually accepted the End Church and accepted the commission of "Goddess of Calamity"... That's right, "Empress" The hidden part of Honorific Name in Miss clearly expresses his relationship with "Fool"... Emlyn muttered and continued to look at the second half of the letter.
Secondly, because she was once the daughter of the ruler of the Highlands Kingdom, "Angel of the Holy Spirit" Reinette Tinekerr is working hard to get rid of the colonial control of that land and restore freedom. With the help of the two major churches and the three God, a lot of results have been achieved. Because of this, the task of finding clues about "Omebella" among the small Underworld of Raklev City in the area originally ruled by the Highlands Kingdom also fell on him.
Both of these things have achieved a lot of results due to the efforts of "Temperance Faction". The follow-up may require the cooperation of Sanguine, which has been partially migrated to the Southern Continent. The establishment of cooperation with "Church of the Fool" and "The End Church" on various matters is Divine Revelation, which Earth Mother has already issued.
In historical records, Earth Mother has never had such an attitude towards other God churches, and there have even been many divine wars, religious wars, and national wars... Emlyn was a little curious for a while, but did not dare to ask "Empress" Miss on Tarot Club, who had become increasingly indifferent recently, and his eyes gradually moved to the last content of the letter.
Finally, Temperance Faction members are looking for a special "Card of Blasphemy", and this Mystical Item, which symbolizes Mother Pathway and looks like a "world" card, is likely to fall into the hands of Sanguine.
Seeing this, Emlyn couldn't help but look up and glanced at Sharron, who was sitting quietly on the sofa with an expressionless face.
As a member of Tarot Club, he naturally knows what "Card of Blasphemy" stands for, and in the past few years, in addition to searching for Emperor Roselle's Diary, Tarot Club's ongoing mission is to collect all scattered Card of Blasphemy, at this moment, there are already twelve playing cards placed in front of the tables of Mr. Fool and Miss Empress, which means that Tarot Club has mastered more than half of the Beyonder Pathway Potion formula!
But there is no "Mother" card in it, and as the Marquis of Sanguine, I have never heard of Sanguine owning such a thing. Even if there is, it should be the "Moon" card... Emlyn thought about it and said:
"I will cooperate with you on the first two matters. As for the third matter... I need to ask three Duke before I reply."
If the "Mother" card is really inside Sanguine, and it is the behavior that Dukes tacitly approve of, then to take it away, I am afraid only Divine Revelation, the ancestor, can do it... Emlyn understands that he does not have enough say in Sanguine, so he did not immediately agree to the other party.
Sharron's head under the small soft hat nodded slightly, and he picked up a piece of white paper with content written in advance from his knees covered with lace pattern fabric. It read:
"Thank you, Mr. Emlyn."
Emlyn straightened his waist immediately, and was about to say a few polite words without sincerity, when he suddenly noticed that the color of the carpet and coffee table between the two of them had become extremely bright, as if they had turned into color blocks in an oil painting.
Immediately, a man with bronze skin, a silk hat, and a black formal suit slowly walked out of the void.
It was "Death Angel" Mr. Azik Eggers... Emlyn, who was also a believer in Fool and knew the appearance of Angel recorded in Holy Bible, immediately stood up from the sofa, as did Sharron, who had an indifferent expression.
Compared to the two nervous Saint, Azik seemed a bit casual. He smiled at Emlyn, then looked at Sharron and said:
"I need the specific location coordinates of 'Otherworld' at Raklev Region."
What Otherworld? Is it related to Raklev Region where "Omebella" is located? Emlyn heard this word for the first time.
In front of him, "Disciple of Silence" and "Death Consul" who could perform Spirit World Shuttle were communicating in a strange language. Soon, Azik got He pressed the top hat on his head, bowed politely, and walked back into Spirit World without turning around. As the crimson carpet became bright again, he disappeared in front of Emlyn.
This is my home... Emlyn was speechless, and then he remembered that the other party was Angel, smacked his lips, and looked at Sharron, who also came uninvited, and his expression suddenly softened.
Before he could say anything, Azik walked quietly from Spirit World and appeared between the two of them.
"By the way, I also need the specific locations where the remains of 'Zedus' were found... I won't disturb you, right?"
After looking at Emlyn and Sharron who were sitting back on the sofa and showing no strange movements, this "Death Angel" felt slightly disappointed.
