Mystery: Undead don't die from passing fire

Chapter 139 Don't worry, let me hurry first

Backlund East Borough, inside a two-bedroom safe house.

Xio sat on the chair by the window and said in a low voice:
"Sorry, I didn't give you a chance to ask questions."

Ember shook his head to indicate that he didn't care. He walked to the window and asked suddenly:

"Do you want to know what secret your father discovered?"

Xio stared blankly at the embers, and then there was a glimmer of hope in his eyes, and he nodded heavily:
"I want to know, whatever the cost."

Ember thought for a while, then slowly said:

"According to Viscount Stratford, Ni's father was executed because he discovered the king's secret. According to the information I have, George III is now a Sequence 1 angel. And seven years ago, your father When this secret was just discovered, George III should have just been promoted to a demigod of Sequence 4."

"And your father discovered this, and it may even go a step further. He discovered that the king cooperated with some secret organizations, so he was killed by the king before he wanted to report to the three major churches."

Xio raised his head suddenly, and immediately sorted out all the context of the matter:
In ancient times, the Seven Great Orthodox Churches had signed three major contracts with the royal families of various countries.Every king will be bound by three major contracts, the highest can only reach Sequence 5.If George III alone relied on himself, he would definitely not be able to break through the shackles of the three major contracts.So it could only be that those secret organizations that believed in evil gods supported behind them, helping George III break through the shackles and become a demigod.

And George III, who cooperates with the evil god, is undoubtedly a huge threat to the three churches.Once this threat breaks out, it will even seriously damage the strength of the three major churches and shake the foundation of the church!

Her father was the head of the palace guard, but he was also a loyal believer in the Church of Evernight, so he finally chose the latter over his loyalty and belief in the king, which also led to his death.

But knowing the truth did not make Xio feel better, but made her more confused:

"what should I do?"

She always felt that her father was framed by a villain, and the so-called rebellion was completely fabricated.So for so many years, she has been committed to finding the truth and restoring her father's reputation.But right now, she clearly knew the truth, but Xio also knew that this would not restore her father's reputation.Because from the standpoint of the king, this behavior is indeed a naked betrayal.

But did her father do something wrong?He just chose the latter between his loyalty to the royal family and his belief. Isn't this a kind of loyalty?Xio believed that not only her father, but most people in Backlund and even the Loen Kingdom, even most of the nobles, would choose the three churches without hesitation if they were faced with the same choice.

Knowing this doesn't solve the problem.

If she wants to restore her father's reputation, she must ask the royal family to change their mouths—to be loyal to the royal family through practical actions, and to gain the approval of the royal family so as to vindicate her father.But this is impossible, because this is completely admitting a thief as a father.

Hugh could not have served the royal family that had killed his own father.

What about revenge?

This is more difficult.

George III himself is an angel of Sequence 1. In the era when gods could not walk in the world, he was the strongest in this world!And she is just a small Sequence 7, so what can be changed?
Ember looked at Xio who was so confused that he lost motivation, and said softly:
"Wait and hope."

Hearing these words, Xio seemed to regain some vitality.She stared at the embers and said:

"I've heard this sentence before. It comes from the masterpiece "The Count of Monte Cristo" handed down by Emperor Russell the Great."

Ember looked at the girl's suspicious appearance, hesitated to speak, and then fell into silence.Should it be called Roselle?

……

Queens, Sodrak Palace.

And in a secret secretary's room in the palace, the king's roar came out:
"Another death? Let them leave calmly after killing people again, and return without success again?!"

"boom!"

The figure of Prince Sonia Grove Gustav flew backwards in an instant, smashed through the wall of the study, and fell heavily in the yard outside.Although this blow didn't hurt him, the insult was not as strong as usual.

But Grove didn't say anything, and didn't show any resentment.His gorgeous clothes were stained with dust and mud, but he didn't even dare to take a picture. He just silently got up from the ground and stood in front of the king again through the wall broken by himself, waiting for the king to vent his anger again. anger.

Grove clenched his fist silently, because even he himself felt a little embarrassed and ashamed.Not because of the humiliation of the king, but because of the shame of failing again and again!

From Kapin's death, to the successive deaths of the royal demigods, even now even the king's court guard has encountered accidents in his own home under the noses of many royal demigods!What is this concept?
Capin's death can be described as an accident, even the cursed demigod and Qonas Kilgor who disappeared at sea can be attributed to accidents.But Viscount Stratford's death was completely a deliberate humiliation by the other party!

Because although Viscount Stratford's strength is not strong, he is only a Sequence 5 punishment knight.But he is the head of the palace guard in name, the head of the guards who protect the king's safety!His strength is not strong, and the secret information he knows is very limited.The only meaning for the enemy to attack him is to provoke the royal family nakedly, like stepping on the king's face on purpose and saying:
You are next!

Although this kind of humiliation was simple and rude, it was extremely effective, and even George III, who had always been well-maintained, was furious because of it.

"Grove."

George III said in a cold tone, "You let me down so much."

Grove lowered his head silently, not daring to refute.

George III glanced at him indifferently, looked at the Grand Duchess Georgina, and said solemnly:

"How many candidates do we have?"

Grand Duchess Georgina whispered:
"Including Viscount Stratford, we only have three candidates in total, and now there are only two left."

Grove lowered his head, eyes twinkling.

There are not many demigods in the royal family, and with Celt dying due to a curse, and the 'disappearance' of Qonas Kilgor, the few demigods in the royal family will get rid of two at once, no doubt It is to make the royal family's manpower even more stretched!
And if George I wants to hold the ceremony, he must ensure that the nine tombs are safe and sound during the ceremony.Of course, the royal family cannot afford the luxury of having an angel guard every mausoleum, even if they have the support of the other two major forces behind them.But even if there are no angels, they must ensure that each mausoleum is guarded by at least one or even multiple demigods.

Originally, the manpower was still sufficient, but the accident of Celt and Qonas caused a flaw in the original perfect plan.In order to fill this loophole, the royal family must cultivate two or more demigods to take their place in a short period of time. Only in this way can the plan proceed smoothly.

And to cultivate demigods, they are all more inclined to choose from the blood of the royal family.But the problem is that in the long-term planning of the royal family, members of the royal blood who are gifted to become demigods have already been promoted to Sequence 4-Selter is one of them.

The remaining people are either not talented enough, even with the blessing of impersonation, they still cannot resist the loss of control caused by the potion, or they are still too young, and there is still a long time before Sequence 5.

Considering the urgency of time, they can only find candidates from among the 'loyal ministers' who are loyal to the royal family.Viscount Stratford, who was the head of the palace guard and had already proved his loyalty in the rebellion seven years ago, was one of them.

But once Viscount Stratford died, there were only two candidates left—and the candidates did not mean that these two people would definitely become demigods, it was more likely that they would die out of control and pollute.

This also means that they need more candidates!

"not enough."

George III said in a deep voice, "Expand the list of candidates, at least ten more!"

"His Majesty!"

Georgina's expression changed slightly, and she said tactfully, "We don't have so many Extraordinary materials needed to advance to Sequence 4, and if it is too frequent, it will easily arouse the alert of the three major churches. Once our plan is discovered in advance, it is likely All previous efforts will be for naught."

Although she didn't say it explicitly, anyone could hear her implying that she hoped that George III would keep a low profile as possible.Of course, the royal family is not unable to pick out ten candidates for Sequence 5.Let alone ten, even twenty or fifty Sequence 5 Beyonders, the royal family can pick them out.

But first of all, it takes time to cultivate Extraordinary, and there is no way to be enlightened like in Roselle's novel.

Second, who can guarantee that these candidates will give priority to loyalty to the royal family, not to the faith?You must know that the lesson of the former chief of the palace guard seven years ago is still vivid in his memory, that time almost directly led to the death of the royal family's plan!And this is why the royal family has been careful not to expose it for so many years.

"Do you think I don't want to?"

George III sneered, "If it weren't for your successive failures, and even now you don't even know the identity of the enemy, why would I be so passive? Ah!"

Facing George III's questioning, Georgina and Grove both trembled and lowered their heads at the same time.

Seven years ago, His Majesty was just a demigod who had just been promoted to Sequence 4, and he respected the two demigods who protected the country of the royal family.But now His Majesty has been promoted to Sequence 1, even if it is just His Majesty's anger, it is unbearable for the two of them.

If the plan goes ahead as usual, His Majesty may not be angry and will continue to keep a low profile.But what happened in the past few months has been constantly touching and teasing King George III's nerves every time-because once the plan fails, the most desperate is not these demigods, but George III himself!

So right now, he is more eager than anyone else for the smooth progress of the plan, so he hopes to train more demigods to escort the plan, even if it will be caught by the three major churches.

"Do as I tell you."

George III glanced at the two of them indifferently, and said coldly, "Aren't you afraid that the three major churches will be suspicious? Then tell them directly that we are preparing for war! The Kingdom of Loen cannot lose Sonia Island, just like the night The Church cannot lose its understanding of the Kingdom of Heaven, and the Church of Storms cannot lose the Abyss of Storms!"

"We must take back Sonia Island and the territory north of the Amanda Mountains, otherwise the threat of the northern Fusac barbarians will always be a sword of Damocles hanging over the kingdom! For this reason, the royal family is willing to spare no effort All the price!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Georgina responded tremblingly, and she soon heard Grove's voice behind her, with the same trembling.

They didn't dare to stay in the study any longer, and retreated out of the room.After walking a long distance, they looked at each other, only to find that the other's eyes also had the same terrified expression.

His Majesty, he has gone crazy!

……

Hillston, 117 Burningham Road.

After Xio prayed to Mister Fool for blessings, and confirmed that he was not being followed by means such as divination and psychic.Ember took her back home through the spiritual world teleportation, and saw Forsi who had been waiting for a long time and was extremely anxious.

Seeing that the two of them were safe and sound, Forsi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and asked impatiently:

"how is the situation?"

"very smooth."

Ember nodded slightly, glanced at Xio at the side, and continued, "However, Xio may need a while to digest."

Hugh took a deep breath immediately, handed the copper-green notebook in his hand to Forsi, and said seriously:
"Don't worry about me, I'm fine. Anything that doesn't kill me makes me stronger!"

"This is also what Emperor Roselle said."

Ember added.

"..."

Xiu, who was originally full of vitality, suddenly lost his temper, and looked at Ember resentfully, this must be revenge!Must be!
Ember pretended not to see Xio's gaze, and warned:
"I have something to go out, but remember to stay together all the time. There is a traveler's door in Leymano's travel notes. If you find anything wrong, just send it away and contact me again on Monday!"

"it is good!"

Forsi took Leymano's travel notes from Xio and nodded solemnly.

Although so long has passed, the possibility that the other party can track them down is very slim.But it can't be careless because of this, and it doesn't mean that they are completely safe, so it is necessary to run if the situation is not good.

As for how to get in touch, it is also very simple, anyway, there will be a Tarot Club every Monday.By communicating with the Tarot Club, all means of divination and tracking can be cut off, and there is no safer and more efficient means than this.

As soon as the words fell, the ring in Ember's hand burst into an illusory light blue light, and his figure also disappeared.

Knowing this, Forsi had the opportunity to look through Lemano's travel notes.

"what!"

Hearing his friend's exclamation, Xio, who was thinking about it, was taken aback. Looking at his friend who was looking at the notebook with disbelief, he said with a guilty conscience, "What's wrong? I shouldn't have used a few pages of notes. ..."

In total, she only used two door openings, three astrological readings, and one mind reading.These are just low-sequence's extraordinary abilities, and they can be easily re-recorded.

"Not because of this."

Forsi opened her mouth, not knowing how to explain it, so she could only ask, "How many times have you used the spirit world teleportation?"

"4 times."

Xio recalled it carefully, but became more and more puzzled, and asked doubtfully, "Is there any problem?"

"..."

Fors silently handed over the note.

Xio glanced at it, and found that the notes had been opened to the pages made of parchment—this kind of parchment only has ten pages in total, and it can record extraordinary abilities at the Sequence 5 and Sequence 6 levels.When Fors got the notes, there were six pages of them that recorded different Beyonder abilities.

But now, these ten pages of parchment all recorded extraordinary abilities.And the four newly added pages are all the traveler's door!And just now, they shared the Traveler's Gate four times!

"..."

Xio opened his mouth, and held back for a long time before asking, "What did you say earlier about the success rate of extraordinary abilities at the Sequence 5 level?"

Forsi stretched out five fingers silently, which means a 50% success rate.

Although it is not low, Ember only used it four times in total, and all four times were recorded successfully!Isn't this 50.00%? ! 50.00% and [-]% seem to be only [-]% different, but in fact they are completely different, okay!
……

Queens, inside an inconspicuous house.

Mr. A stood on the balcony of the living room and poured himself a glass of red wine leisurely.

While shaking, while looking at the distant sky, there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

Just now, a villa in the queen district erupted with a strong light, which was at least the power of a demigod.The user is either a demigod, or holds a sealed item above level 1.

Just as he was thinking, Mr. A suddenly noticed that the surrounding light was a little dark, and the light projected from the house seemed to be blocked by something.

Mr. A realized that there was someone behind him, but he still turned around very leisurely. After seeing the appearance of the person, he smiled and raised his wine glass to invite:

"Want a drink?"

"no need."

Ember glanced at him, then cut to the point and asked, "What's the progress of your investigation of the ruins?"

"very smooth."

Mr. A said with a serious face, "The royal family seems to be short of manpower recently. Although they are still very guarded against us, they have also begun to let us get in touch with things related to the ruins."

After a pause, Mr. A continued, "They revealed the coordinates of a ruin to me, but I can't be sure if that is the ruin you want to find. After all, I have only been to the periphery of the ruins, and I don't know the internal structure. "

After all, it was a task ordered by the Lord himself. Of course, Mr. A did not dare to neglect it in the slightest, and he did his best.

After hearing Mr. A's answer, Ember asked thoughtfully:

"Who else is in charge of this ruins besides you? Have you ever seen the demigod of the royal family?"

"There are demigods, but not the royal family."

Mr. A shrugged, shook his glass and took a sip before continuing, "That's the person in charge of the Witch Sect in Backlund, Pannadia the Nightingale of Despair."

After a pause, Mr. A said seriously, "That woman is a lunatic!"

After hearing this, Ember took a deep look at Mr. A.

How strange it is for a lunatic to call another a lunatic.

Mr. A didn't care about Ember's gaze at all, and just continued:

"Besides, Mr. X will come to Backlund recently. Of course, I suspect that he may have arrived in Backlund secretly."

"Mr. X?"

"Yes."

Mr. A nodded, shaking his wine glass and said leisurely, "Aurora will have five saints and 22 angels. I belong to the dark saint and have been responsible for spreading the glory of the Lord in Backlund. Mr. X belongs to the secret Saints, they were once apprentices of the Abraham family, but they wisely chose to fall into the arms of the Lord."

"Usually, several saints spread the brilliance of the Lord in each of the major kingdoms, and they will not easily step into the missionary scope of other saints. But this time there is a reason, because Mr. X and the mysterious saint have never given up on hunting down Abraham. Members of the family. And they recently received information that members of the Abraham family gathered on a large scale near Backlund, and Mr. X came here for this."

"He is a Sequence 5 traveler, and with the help of the Traveler's Gate, he can quickly 'teleport'. So I have reason to suspect that he has sneaked into Backlund secretly."

Ember looked at Mr. A, and suddenly asked thoughtfully:

"I remember that you seem to have herded a Sequence 6 recording officer?"

"Yes."

Mr. A took a sip of his wine and said with a calm smile, "This is what I gained when I helped the Saint of Secrets encircle and suppress the Abraham family."
