Mystery: Undead don't die from passing fire

Chapter 144 The Fool's Caring Little Hedgehog

"Ember, what do you think?"

Audrey pursed her lips lightly, with a hesitant look on her face.Although it has been preliminarily deduced that the Psychological Alchemy Society may have participated in the assassination of Duke Negan, it has led to another Twilight Hermit Society that is more secretive and has a higher personality!This made Audrey have to think about whether to give up and continue the investigation.

Ember looked extremely calm, shook his head and said:

"Don't think too much, anyway, sooner or later you will have to do psychological alchemy, it doesn't make any difference."

"..."

Audrey hesitated to speak, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed to be the case.After all, Ember had already decided to take action against the Psychological Alchemists. Could it be that he would give up his established goal because of a Twilight Hermit?This is obviously impractical, maybe Ember will attack the psychological alchemy in advance because of worrying about "long night and dreamy".

Klein also nodded silently in his heart, afraid?Worry?nonexistent.Now Ember is probably wishing that the Twilight Hermit will come to the door, because in this way he can burn a few more people.

Ember suddenly asked:

"Mr. Fool, if I want to know what kind of organization the Twilight Hermit Society is, what price will I have to pay?"

"If you say this, I won't be sleepy."

Klein, who was afraid that Ember would ask some tricky questions, breathed a sigh of relief, and tapped the edge of the long bronze table with his fingers energetically. Instead of rushing to make Ember pay the price, he said slowly:
"The twilight hermits will keep and pass on the secrets for tens of thousands of years. They believe that the twilight must come and the end is inevitable. They believe in the original Creator and believe that He did not really die. Wait until the twilight, until the end of everything appears , He will wake up from deep sleep, let everything belong to himself, and create a new world, a new history."

"Then why did they assassinate Duke Negan?"

Audrey had already sorted out her mentality at this time, but she still asked a little puzzled when she heard this.

Klein leaned against the back of the chair and said leisurely:

"All the actions of the Twilight Hermit Society are based on the above concepts and themes, in order to resurrect, or awaken the true Creator."

"They often interfere with the progress of history and manipulate the general trend of the world so that it meets their own needs, so as to achieve their goals at a certain point. If the trend of the times is not as they expected, they will try their best to reverse this trend. Except Besides, they just watched quietly, indifferently, maybe decades or hundreds of years without a single action or commission."

"Interfering with the course of history... Manipulating the general trend of the world..."

When Audrey heard Mister Fool's light and light words, a turbulent wave arose in her heart, which made her have a creeping fear.If this organization is really what Mr. Fool said, then what she saw in the history books in the past—whether it is war or disease or the discovery of the southern continent, are they all done by this organization?
If this is the case, wouldn't it be more terrifying than the Church of the Seven Gods?No, the Church of the Seven Gods must have the ability to do the same thing. The 'Battle of the Oath' that split the Fenepot Kingdom hundreds of years ago is a good example.

Audrey fell into thought:
"If the Twilight Hermit sent people to assassinate Duke Negan one after another because of this, it means that Duke Negan blocked the general trend that the Twilight Hermit would want, and this general trend..."

Audrey changed color slightly, as if thinking of something, she almost blurted out:

"George III? The Dark Emperor?"

Klein's expression changed slightly. According to the information they have now, George III must already be preparing for the ceremony of being promoted to the Dark Emperor.And his becoming a god must not be in the interests of the three major churches, otherwise there is no need to hide it from the three major churches.

However, in order to oppose the three major churches, George III must have corresponding support, and it must be the support of forces that can compete with the three major churches.Although both the Aurora Society and the Witch Church were involved, they were obviously not that qualified.For example, this doesn't explain where the potion recipe for George III's promotion came from?
But if the Twilight Hermit will secretly support the Black Emperor, then the situation will become quite clear—George III’s potion formula and god-making ceremony are all provided by the Twilight Hermit, and they who have the second blasphemy slate have this ability.The assassination of Duke Negan was because Duke Negan blocked the 'general trend' they wanted.

Maybe it's because Duke Negan discovered the king's secret... No, it shouldn't be.Duke Negan is a devout follower of the Church of Storms. If he had really discovered George III's secret, he should report it directly to the Church of Storms.Is that because of other reasons—for example, perhaps because of the existence of Duke Negan, which hindered the historical development that the Twilight Hermit would want?
Klein turned his eyes to the embers calmly, and found that he was also thinking at this moment.Obviously, Ember can also think of these things that he can think of, and can even guess more details, after all, he may still have information that he does not know.

"Resurrect the Creator?"

Just as Klein guessed, Ember was indeed lost in thought at this time, and he indeed knew more than Klein.For example, he had seen the 'Sun God' in the past.And it can basically be confirmed that this sun god is the 'creator' in the myth of the City of Silver.Regardless of whether this 'Sun God' is the real 'Creator', it is basically certain that the Creator who will be resurrected by the Twilight Hermit should be this 'Sun God'.

As for how the 'Sun God' died, Ember already had the answer, and the mural he found on that primitive island recorded everything.Bearing the glorious cross was undoubtedly the ancient sun god, who died in a siege and was eaten after his death.

And there are four figures of the ancient sun god who eats food—one of them is handsome and vigorous, one is majestic and heroic, and the other has a white beard, which looks very intelligent.In addition, there is a gloomy and dark baby.

As for the identities of these four people...

Ember thought for a while, and slowly said:

"Mr. Fool, thank you for your help. For the price of this information, I hope to pay with magical items."

Klein still maintained the 'fool' posture on his face, smiling and nodding.But he was already sighing helplessly in his heart, Ember really didn't want to owe any favours!His original intention was not to pay any price, but to make Ember owe favors, the more the better.But Ember obviously didn't respond to this proposal, and even would rather suffer a loss than settle.

Seeing the 'Fool' nodding in agreement with the transaction, Ember said directly:

"I have two magical items that can be used to pay, one is Revere's scream of despair, and the other is the dark cross."

While talking, Ember waved his hand and manifested two objects on the table, a pistol and a copper-green cross.This scene made Mister Fool almost want to stretch out his hand to caress his forehead—promise me, will you use a sacrifice honestly next time?
"Revere's desperate cry, it can fire infinite bullets, each shot has a lot of power. It can keep firing rapidly, like a shrunken machine gun. The target that is hit will also bear Revere's The desperate screams before death appear in different states such as pain, dizziness, and confusion, even for saints. The negative effect is that the user will also hear the desperate screams, but not so frequently."

"No dark cross, after absorbing blood, it can become a radiant cross. It has a powerful purification effect, and can use "Yang Yan" and other spells at the demigod level in the sun field. The side effect is because of its powerful and pure purification, no dark cross repels and Contact with other mystical items and Extraordinary characteristics."

"So it cannot coexist with other mystical items, and it will also reject the extraordinary characteristics of the holder. Long-term holding will cause the user's extraordinary characteristics to be separated out a little bit. For example, if the user is a Sequence 5 For a Extraordinary, once he wears it for more than an hour, he will be stripped of the Beyonder characteristics of Sequence 5 by the Dark Cross, thus allowing the holder to regress back to the level of Sequence 6."

After a pause, Ember added:

"Because these two mystical items come from the Loen royal family, there is also a hidden side effect. That is, you must use caution when facing the Extraordinary of the Loen royal family, otherwise you may be chased by the royal family once they are discovered. kill."

Hearing this sentence, even Audrey didn't know what to say, and Klein was even more speechless, complaining from the bottom of his heart:
"Catch a sheep and squeeze it hard, right? If this goes on like this, the entire royal family will be bald by you."

Klein mourned for the royal family for a minute in his heart, but soon realized that Ember's purpose was to kill George III, and immediately felt that this little setback was nothing to the royal family, at most, it was an appetizer before the main meal.

As for the two items that Ember took out, Klein was indeed quite moved.The advantages and disadvantages of these two magical items are obvious. Revere's scream of despair has powerful combat capabilities, but Klein can't guarantee that he will be able to resist the scream of despair.After all, even a demigod can't resist, Klein doesn't think he can be more special than a demigod.

As for the Undark Cross, it possesses extraordinary abilities at the demigod level in the Sun Domain, and its combat effectiveness is definitely not to be questioned.But to Klein, he saw the true purpose of this item at a glance - to make money!
Since the Darknessless Cross can extract Extraordinary characteristics, it means that he can completely earn two for one!For example, a copy of the Extraordinary characteristics of Sequence 5 usually costs around 8000 pounds.But with the help of the characteristic of the dark cross, he can extract the Extraordinary characteristics of Sequence 5, and obtain a copy of the Extraordinary characteristics of Sequence 6, and so on, until only the Extraordinary characteristics of Sequence 9 are left!
In this way, he can obtain a total of 5 Extraordinary characteristics, with a total value of more than 15000 pounds.It is equivalent to a change of hands, almost doubled, and the return rate is close to 100%!For Klein, who still owes Miss Audrey foreign debts in order to be promoted to the Faceless Man, this is undoubtedly a huge attraction.

Klein immediately made a decision, kept his face as calm as possible, and said with a smile:

"make a deal……"

Before he finished speaking, Klein saw Ember push the two items to his side, which made his expression freeze immediately.He wanted to say, 'I choose the Darknessless Cross', but Ember pushed the two magical items over in one go!Didn't the emotional guy take out these two magical items for him to choose, but as part of the 'price'?
Klein knew very well that although the information he gave was secret, it did not touch the core of the Twilight Hermit Society.Any one of these two magical items is enough to pay for the 'price' of these intelligences!But Ember gave two pieces, because she clearly did not want to owe favors, and wanted to get both money and goods.

But the more this happened, the more flustered Klein became!On the surface it looks like he is taking advantage of himself, but in fact it may not be so. After all, the ghost knows whether Ember wants to pay off the favor and burn him directly!

But is he going to refuse now?That's even more impossible!After all, Mister Fool can't just say 'because I'm afraid of being burned by you, so I only need a magical item'?In this way, these two magical items became hot potatoes instead. After all, it was hard to say whether this was a trial by Ember!
And right now, there is obviously not much time for Klein to think and hesitate, so he just paused for a while, deliberately chuckled, and asked calmly:
"What else do you want to know?"

Ember looked directly at Klein's figure, and said in the same calm and soothing tone as before:
"I want to know, what is Mister Fool's position on the issue of the Black Emperor?"

"Bet right!"

Klein breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but remained calm on the face, considering his tone in his heart, and said with a chuckle, "I have nothing to do with the Black Emperor, and to some extent, I am hostile to the forces behind him. As for whether you want to attack the Black Emperor, it has nothing to do with me. Here, I am only responsible for the equivalent exchange."

Klein has always felt that spreading the fire is full of conspiracy. For example, the goddess told Ember to spread the fire at the beginning, and then a series of things happened. It was obvious that someone was deliberately leading Ember to kill the Black Emperor to spread the fire.Therefore, Klein must clearly inform his position, which is the five basic principles - no support, no objection, no rejection, no recognition, and no responsibility.

Whether or not Ember kills the Black Emperor has nothing to do with him. Klein can't control it and doesn't want to, let alone get involved.To put it bluntly, he doesn't care about the life and death of the Black Emperor at all, he doesn't even care about the life and death of the gods all over the sky, as long as the embers don't come to burn him!

"That's it."

Ember nodded thoughtfully, then fell silent without expressing any opinion.But this faintly made Klein a little uneasy. What happened to Ember's trip to the ancient times?Why did his behavior change so much?

What's with your sudden silence?Could it be that he is hesitating whether to attack him now? !No way no way?I have never cheated you on anything!And you still owe me a favor!You don't really want to just burn me, do you? !
"Mr. Fool."

Audrey also vaguely sensed that something was wrong in the atmosphere, and asked softly, "Do I need to pay any price?"

"Miss Justice is such a nice person!"

While being moved by Miss 'Justice''s thoughtful behavior of the little padded jacket, Klein also quickly figured out a way to deal with it, and said with a smile:

"No need, Mister 'Lover' has already paid enough."

"Mr. Fool."

Ember also said slowly, "Thank you for your help."

Klein leaned back in the chair, smiled and said:

"Like I've always said, I like barter."

This 'deal' wasn't really equivalent, but now, it is.

"Mr. Fool, seems a little nervous?"

Audrey watched Klein's movements, and a disrespectful idea suddenly popped up in her mind, which shocked her.How can you talk about gods in vain?Ever since she was lectured by Ember last time, she felt that she seemed to be less and less respectful of the gods—even to assassinate a king or a quasi-god, she didn't react too strongly!

And now facing Mister Fool, she actually came up with the same idea!But this can't be her fault, after all, although she can't see through Mr. Fool's expression and appearance, Mr. Fool's movement of leaning back in the chair after the conversation is too obvious.It's like a person who has been tense all the time suddenly relaxes.It's as if Mister Fool seems to be afraid...

what!No, Audrey, you can't have such thoughts! Mister 'Fool' may be afraid of Ember's sudden attack, but this does not mean that Mr. 'Fool''s personality will be lowered because of this, He is still a high god.This does not mean that the person of the gods is not there, it only means that Ember's strength is too strong!
But it was also because Ember was strong enough that he was involved in the plans of the gods!But judging from now, Mister Fool doesn't seem to be involved in it, and his meeting with Ember is just a coincidence.And it is undoubtedly a good thing to solve the misunderstanding now, which is conducive to the unity of the Tarot Society.

Audrey thought, observing Ember and Mister Fool carefully.Shrouded in gray fog, she couldn't see through anyone, but Audrey didn't need to see through them either. She just thought about her words and asked softly:

"Mr. 'Lover', do you need my help to collect information on Hvin Rambis?"

She is still on the topic, easing the atmosphere.But if Ember is trying to find the Twilight Hermit Society, it is also the best choice to start with the Psychological Alchemy Society, and Hvin Rambis, who is a high-level person, is the best choice.

"better not."

Ember thought for a while, then shook her head and said, "The plan remains the same, and we will do it on New Year's Day. Before that, don't make any outrageous behaviors that arouse suspicion."

"it is good."

Audrey immediately understood and nodded slightly.

She knew that Ember was afraid of scaring the snake, after all, if something happened to Hvin Rambis, it would probably make King George III feel alert.For Ember, killing George III was more important than Hvin Rambis.It is better to catch them all on New Year's Eve than to act early and startle them.

Audrey thought for a while, and said deliberately and playfully:
"In this kind of matter, Mr. 'Lover', you may be able to pray for the help of the angel under Mr. 'Fool'."

"..."

Mr. Fool's expression froze immediately, he just praised Miss 'Justice' as a caring little padded jacket, why is he now exposing him again!Although he knew that Miss 'Justice' intended to ease or even bring their relationship closer, but the problem was, how could he have any angels under his seat!

But seeing Ember's questioning gaze, Klein had to express his position, so he said in an ambiguous and pretentious way:

"I can offer covert help."

"it is good."

Ember nodded slightly, and didn't doubt it, just thinking that it was the 'fool' who wanted to prove his 'neutrality'.
