Mystery: Mr. Witch and Miss Hunter

Chapter 292 Letter

After paying the five fulmins, Azik Eggers walked upstairs with his suitcase.

It was a nice room: clean, tidy, no dark stains on the floor from unknown sources, and a large and bright window with a view of the snowy mountains and a corner of the sea in the distance.

He nodded in satisfaction and opened the suitcase he was carrying.

For a person traveling across the country, his luggage is really too little: two sweaters, three pairs of woolen socks, two bundles of ten-pound banknotes, a small bag of Feysac's gold and silver coins, twelve wrapped in cloth bags Candles, all of the above add up to only one-third of the suitcase.

And half of the remaining two-thirds of the suitcase were neatly stacked letters.One after another, it can be seen from the same neat handwriting that these letters were all written by one person.

The last third is filled with envelopes and blank letter paper that are almost equal to the number of letters.Azik took out one inside, and took out a round belly pen from his breast pocket—this kind of water-absorbing pen was very valuable when most people were still using dip pens, but Azik was very Insert it casually in front of your chest.

He sat down at the thick square cypress table, thought for a while, and then wrote.

"My dear student Cline Moretti:"

"This is my No.30 seven letters after you fell into a deep sleep. In the last letter, I jokingly asked if I should call you 'Lord of Mysteries' now, but I think you don't like me calling it that. After all, you're facing the toughest choice right now, and it's not that easy to stay human."

After writing this, Azik smiled gently, looked at the scene outside the window, and continued to write.

"Do you still remember my dream I told you before? At that time, I hoped to vacation in the Loen Kingdom's Winter County and the northern part of the Feysac Empire, skiing, watching the scenery, fishing for seals..."

"A few days ago, I boarded a flight that just reopened to Feysac. Today, I arrived in Puerto Indo."

"Due to the impact of the war you mentioned, this sea route was cut off for a full year. I waited at the port for a week before I got the first passenger ship."

"Of course, I can indeed use the spirit world shuttle to reach my destination easily, but this time, I want to see something different as much as possible. The previous experience was that of the 'Death Consul' of the Balam Empire, not Azik Eggers'."

Outside the window, the voices of porters bargaining approached and then moved away, and then the next unfamiliar voice repeated the process, like a wave lapping on the shore.

Azik wrote very slowly and seriously, looking up at the scene outside the window from time to time, or picking up the letter paper, carefully checking for spelling mistakes, and then continuing to write down.

"The porters here seem to have not worked for a long time. When the ship is approaching, from the high gangway, they look like a group of ants surrounded by sugar cubes."

"I had a similar experience when I was a 'Death Consul'. I sat on a high pyramid and watched the slaves move earth and rocks to raise my throne. But now, in the eyes of these people something that I hadn't seen at the time."

At this time, there was a knock on the door. Azik covered the pen, clipped the half-written letter on the pen, and got up to open the door.

At the door was a lady in a black double-breasted long dress who looked like a patrolman. However, patrolmen would not openly carry double-barreled shotguns behind their backs.

She held a shotgun sling in one hand and a black cloth bag in the other.Her long dress with a lapel was embroidered with the emblem of honeysuckle, and this emblem Azik had seen on the ship when he came.

Is it from this steamship company?Azik guessed.

The expression on the other party's face was both familiar and unfamiliar to Azik. It was similar to the expressions on the hundreds of thousands of faces he saw at the pier just now. It was a relaxed expression after making a major decision.

"What's the matter?" Azik smiled kindly, and asked the lady who looked like a patrol officer.

"Routine publicity." The other party took out a poorly printed publicity material from the black pocket, "Excuse me, are you literate?"

Ards nodded, and the lady let out a sigh of relief.

"Great, now I don't have to bother to explain... You can see for yourself, and I won't bother you."

Afterwards, she handed the promotional material to Ards Eggers, and continued walking to the next house.

Ards closed the door, returned to the desk and began to read the notice.

"Notice regarding policy adjustments to Extraordinary in the dock area, claw corner area, and north area..."

When he saw this line of words, Azik couldn't help but rubbed his eyes, suspecting that he had read it wrong.

Can things about extraordinary abilities be advertised on the streets like this?Isn't the Church of the God of War afraid of believers' belief in the God of War being shaken?
Azik recalled it again, and found out embarrassingly that the Church of the God of War didn't seem to be afraid of this.

——Klein said in his letter that the God of War has fallen.

A country like Fusac that only allowed one religion to exist faced social turmoil after the fall of its own god, which was unimaginable and incomparable to any country such as Loen... Azik sighed.

Even the highly centralized Balam Empire allowed its ally, the Witch Sect (also called the Witch Family at that time), to develop its power in its own country through reproduction, just in case.

In this situation where the only god has fallen, it is not surprising that people make any kind of decision in order to stabilize the social order... Azik nodded and continued to look down.

The content of this leaflet is actually rather limited. It only introduces to ordinary people that there are indeed extraordinary powers in this world, and the acquisition of this power is accompanied by danger. It focuses on the importance of official extraordinary people and calls for similar ideas People who want to join the church, don't just try those unknown methods.

As far as the content is concerned, there is really nothing wrong with what this leaflet says, and it provides the most stable and safest path for those who want to gain extraordinary power—joining the church.

The leaflet stated that after joining the church, the church will arrange jobs for those people, select them layer by layer according to their degree of completion, and finally select the best candidates.The income is not high, but at least stability is guaranteed.

After the war, Extraordinary power was initially exposed to ordinary people. Due to the nature of rumors, Azik has heard all kinds of weird things along the way.Some exaggerated the magic of extraordinary power, as if Sequence Nine could have the level of a demigod; some magnified the danger, saying that mastering extraordinary power would turn into a monster, which is a narrow escape.

Compared to disclosing the existence of Extraordinary power, letting go of these rumors is the greatest damage to the stability of society...

Azik quickly realized the crux of the matter.For the time being, the winners of the Battle of the Gods, the Earth, the Storm, and the Night, have already done their best to digest the steam believers inside Loen. As for the believers of the Feysac Empire in the far west of the mainland, I am afraid they can only use this method. , can digest a little is a little.

Azik estimated that such publicity would definitely allow the number of official Beyonders in the Feysac Empire to quickly recover.Although this would definitely lead to the interception of many Extraordinary believers by other scattered forces, the Evernight Goddess, who had replaced the God of War, would definitely eat the most.

In fact, this is the best way. The end is coming, and I don’t have time to care how much others eat. I must do whatever I can to harvest a large amount of high-quality anchors in a short period of time.

Anyway, there are a lot of believers on Fusac's side, and the territory controlled by the God of War Church has developed for thousands of years. Even if the remaining six major churches divide it together, it will definitely not be clean in less than ten years.Rather than trying to restrict others, it is better for everyone to rely on their own abilities...

Azik pressed his temples habitually, trying to get himself out of these thoughts.

These aren't things I'm thinking about right now, I'm just a history teacher on vacation, going seal fishing north of Feysac...  

Azik withdrew his thoughts, folded the leaflet and stuffed it into the box, preparing to continue writing to Klein.

"... Just now, a security officer who looks like a shipping company came to the room to promote the Extraordinary policy. I believe you will be very surprised when you first heard this kind of thing, because I was almost as surprised as you just now. But I I think it's a good thing, at least for the Feysacs."

"I really thought that when the end came, the seven gods who originally hated each other for their beliefs would make some changes, but this change was much bigger than I thought, so big that only by experiencing it personally can you realize that you are We are moving forward under the coercion of the times.”

"Therefore, my description may not convey my shock, so I sincerely hope that you can wake up as soon as possible to witness the changes brought about by your choices."

After finishing writing, he held up the letter and checked it again, signed the name "Azik Eggers" at the end, and then skillfully built the sacrificial altar with the candles in his pocket, watching The letter disappeared in the sudden flash of fire.

After finishing all this, Ards exhaled, pushed open the door, and came to the lobby of the hotel.

After working for a long time, he was also a little hungry.Although after becoming a demigod, or a demigod of the death path, he has almost no need to eat, but in order to maintain his humanity, he will deliberately allow himself to have similar desires.

Azik was one of the group who disembarked earlier, so when he arrived at the hotel, there was no one in the restaurant on the first floor of the hotel.But now, the place is already crowded with tourists, and it is not easy to even find an empty bench.

"You can share a table, sir, or have food delivered to your room, for an extra kopeck per meal."

The restaurant waiter in a black vest came up and said, his forearm, which was exposed under the rolled-up shirt, was full of muscles, with a tattoo of an anchor on it, obviously not very used to these red tapes.

Pirates before, or gangsters?Azik thought about it amusedly, and began to look around to see if there were any places where tables could be shared.

However, there are people everywhere as far as the eye can see, and almost every bench is crowded, like a brood of breeding quail.

"Then, just a piece of ceviche, a paisa plate with white bread, and a piece of yerba mate tea, send to..."

Azik was about to say that it would be good to send it to his room, but suddenly found that there was still a table in the corner with vacant seats, and the lady who looked like a patrolman he saw just now was sitting on the other side of the table, so he changed his words in time:
"Just send it there, I'll share the table."

The waiter who didn't earn extra money sighed in disappointment, and turned to inform the back kitchen to prepare the food.Ards walked steadily towards the empty seat, and greeted the lady politely.

"Meet you again, ma'am." Azik took off his hat and saluted, "Can I make a table?"

"Go ahead, as long as you don't feel uncomfortable sharing a table with an ex-gang member."

The other party was obviously a little surprised, but he didn't express his displeasure.

"Gangster member?" Azik raised his eyebrows in surprise, but sat down opposite her indifferently. "Honestly, it doesn't look at all, you look more like a Mountie than a gangster."

"This is the boss, ah no, the boss's wife means... Forget it, let her go."

The woman hesitated, but quickly waved her hand, indicating that it was no big deal.

"We were indeed members of gangsters before, but now the boss has connected with the church group, and now the family is a semi-official organization."

The other broke apart his share of white bread and used them to push aside the soup in the deep dish.

"These clothes are also recently custom-made by the family, for us former thugs to wear. Speaking of which, we not only dress like mounted policemen, but also do similar things to those policemen before."

When she said this, she suddenly reacted, "By the way, you are not a local, and you don't know my name yet. Meet Kelly Hilson, the former debt collector of the Esco family, now,"

Kelly looked at the black double-breasted coat she was wearing, and smiled self-deprecatingly: "It's half a mounted policeman."

"Azik Eggers, was previously a teacher of the history department at Hoy University in Tingen City, Ahwa County, Loen Kingdom."

Azik nodded, "But now I have to leave for some reason."

"Is there anything to do in Fusac? If you want to talk about making money, I don't think there is anything to make."

Kelly scooped up a spoonful of soup, "There is such a chance to get rich overnight, and the family members have already found it."

Azik smiled gently: "No, I'm just here for a long vacation to do some rehabilitation exercises. By the way, do you know where the best seal fishing place in the Feysac Kingdom is?"
