Mystery: Undead don't die from passing fire

5 month 13 day.

On the outskirts of Backlund's North District, in a manor that covers a very large area.

This manor, which is usually very deserted, gathered a large number of guests on this day.

These guests came from different places, some from the south of the Loen Kingdom, some from the Republic of Intis, and even further south from the Fenepot Kingdom.Most of them arrived here from different places a few days or even a week in advance.

Because they all have the blood of the Abraham family without exception, and tonight is the night of the full moon.

In the large meeting room on the second floor of the manor, Dorian Gray Abraham and other high-ranking officials of Abraham were seated one after another.

Most of them are over [-] years old, and they are the heads of various small families of the Abraham family. They are all members of the Abraham family who hold the secrets of the Abraham family, master different sealed items, and can 'travel'.

They were actually full of doubts about this sudden meeting.

Because in the past, dinner parties were held directly at the manor, and any matters could be negotiated during the dinner party.But for some unknown reason, that Miss Fors Wall announced very seriously that she had something important to discuss.

Wearing gold-rimmed glasses, Verdu Abraham, who looked like a university professor, suddenly asked:
"Dorian, do you know what happened?"

At this moment, the eyes of the other members were focused on Dorian. After all, unlike them who were in different parts of the world, Dorian originally lived in Pritz Harbor, which was only a few hours' drive away from Backlund.

And since this period of time, Dorian has been in charge of the communication between Fors and the Abraham family.

If there is really a big deal, Dorian should be the first to know.

But to the disappointment of others, Dorian just shook his head and said helplessly:

"I'm in the dark all by myself."

This situation made the members of the Abraham family even more confused, but before they could whisper, there was a sudden sound at the door of the meeting room.

click!
The clear sound of the door opening made everyone in the conference room look over at the same time. A lady with slightly curly brown hair and light blue eyes, wearing a beige dress with a stand-up collar, walked in slowly.

The members of the Abraham family waited quietly for Fors to take the throne, and Dorian asked at this moment:
"Miss Forsi, you are in a hurry to find us, is there something urgent?"

"Yes."

Hearing this, Forsi's face became a bit serious, which also made the members of the Abraham family feel serious.

Fors looked around and said seriously:

"Starting from this month, I should no longer need to provide treatment for you."

As soon as the words came out, there was an uproar in the conference room. Verdu was the first to stand up and said in a deep voice:
"Miss Fors, what do you mean? Could it be that you feel that the conditions given by the Abraham family are not enough?"

Dorian hurriedly stood up and said:

"Miss Forsi, is there some misunderstanding here? If you have other requirements, you can definitely mention them to us."

"Eh?"

Fors froze for a moment, then quickly realized that the two parties seemed to have misunderstood, and explained:
"No, that's not what I mean, I mean, you don't need my 'treatment' anymore, do you?"

The conference room suddenly fell into silence, and even Verdu fell silent. 'I don't need your treatment anymore' and 'You don't need my treatment' may sound like the same thing, but they mean very different things.

But for the members of the Abraham family who were tortured by the curse, how could they no longer need treatment?

Dorian couldn't help but smiled bitterly:

"Miss Forsi, you might as well make your words clearer."

He has realized that there is a problem with the understanding between the two parties, or that the communication is not in place.

But Verdu really can't be blamed for being impulsive in this matter, after all, anyone who hears those words will misunderstand.

Looking at Dorian's blank wry smile, Fors couldn't help being a little surprised:

"Didn't He tell you?"

"His?"

Verdu and Dorian were shocked at the same time, even a demigod is not qualified to call him "he", this "he" refers to an angel!
But who is 'He'?
Dorian wanted to ask Forsi, but found that the other party's gaze was always looking at the end of the conference table.

This made Dorian couldn't help but follow her gaze, only to find a strange figure sitting at the end of the conference room!

It was a middle-aged man with an ordinary and old-fashioned face, empty black hair mixed with a small amount of white hair, and a pair of rippling blue eyes. The overall image was like a vampire duke in folklore.

They didn't know when the other party appeared, and they didn't even notice the other party's existence from the beginning to the end.If it wasn't for Forsi's reminder, they probably wouldn't have discovered that there was one more person there until the end of the meeting!

Dorian subconsciously wanted to ask the other party's identity, and Forsi asked a little strangely:

"Mr. Bethel, didn't you tell them?"

The middle-aged man called Bethel shook his head lightly:
"I thought you'd tell them."

Fors blinked, meaning that none of them had actually greeted the members of the Abraham family, so did they cause a misunderstanding?
Mr. Bethel thought that she who was in contact with the Abraham family would tell them, but she saw Mr. Bethel sitting in the conference room, so she mistakenly thought that the members of the Abraham family already knew the truth...

So, this is a misunderstanding caused by lack of communication!
"Bethel?"

Verdu suddenly turned his head to look at the middle-aged man, carefully looked at the other's appearance, pointed at him tremblingly, and lost his voice:

"Are you the ancestor of Bethel?!"

Dorian's pupils shrunk, apparently in disbelief.

Bethel Abraham, the ancestor of the Abraham family, was hailed as the existence closest to God in the Quaternary Epoch!

When the ancestor was still alive, the Abraham family was the top nobleman of the Fourth Epoch!

At that time, whether it was the Augustus family of Loen, the Einhorn family of Feysac, the Sauron family of Intis, or the Castilla family of Feneporte, they could only look up to them, Even then they were the family of angels!

Even the rumored Antigonus family and the Zaratul family cannot compare to their Abraham family!
But in the Battle of the Four Emperors, the ancestor Bethel disappeared in the war where the gods personally fought, and the remaining high-sequence powerhouses all fell, and the glory of the Abraham family also disappeared.

Since then, the Abraham family has been subjected to a terrible curse. Generation after generation of ancestors who tried to revive the family have gone crazy and out of control without exception. 8, Sequence 7.

But now, a strange middle-aged man who suddenly appeared said that he was Bethel. Is this reasonable?
Seeing the unbelievable expressions on the faces of his descendants, the middle-aged man sighed softly in his heart, but with a gentle smile on his face, he said softly:

"If there is no second Bethel in the Abraham family, then you should be talking about me."

Verdu suddenly showed an ecstatic expression, but at this time other members of the Abraham family couldn't help but say:
"But, you obviously disappeared during the Battle of the Four Emperors, why did you suddenly appear?"

Bethel Abraham, who was suspected, was not annoyed, but smiled and said:

"To be precise, he was exiled by the night and the storm."

"Although I was not a god at the time, it was difficult for even a real god to kill me. In terms of teleportation, even a god is inferior to me. So even if the night and the storm join forces, all they can do is exile me."

Verdu was extremely excited, and asked impatiently:

"In other words, you came back this time to lift our curse?"

Bethel looked at the eagerly looking eyes of the descendants, fell silent, and said slowly:

"In fact, your curse originated from me."

The conference room was silent for a while, but Bethel still said softly:

"During the time I was exiled, I was polluted by certain existences, and uncontrollably asked for help from this world. As my descendants, you who flow the same blood also received that call for help from beyond the sky."

Dorian opened his mouth, but made no sound.

Even Verdu, who was originally excited, became a little dull at this moment.

and so.

The 'curse' that has plagued the Abraham family for thousands of years and caused generations of descendants of the Abraham family to lose control, and the 'babbling' that originated from the night of the full moon, is actually their ancestor's cry for help?
Pain, confusion, sadness, helplessness, disbelief, all kinds of complicated emotions were brewing in their hearts, making them not know what attitude to use to face this ancestor for a while.

It was Bethel Abraham who brought glory to the Abrahamic family, and the Abrahamic family is nothing without their patriarchs.

But at the same time, it was also Bethel Abraham who caused the Abraham family to lose. The members of the family even broke through the middle sequence became a luxury. of apprentices.

It's like a bad joke from fate.

Dorian didn't know what the ancestor's attitude was towards the consequences of him, was it disdain?Is it guilt?Or have you never taken it to heart?

He didn't know how to describe his complicated feelings, could he blame his ancestors?

Obviously not.

It was He who brought all the glory to the Abraham family, even if He took it all away, it was justified.

If it wasn't for the fact that the Abraham family was too weak, if it wasn't for the fact that they didn't even have a demigod for thousands of years, they couldn't understand the ancestor's cry for help, and just thought it was a raving and curse from an unknown existence, how could things have developed like this?

If they weren't too weak, perhaps their ancestors had returned thousands of years ago, how could the Abraham family become what it is now?
Looking at the silent descendants, Bethel Abraham said softly:
"Feel sorry."

"No!"

Verdu said with great excitement:

"The ancestors don't need to apologize to us! You appear here now, doesn't it mean that you are out of trouble? Thousands of years ago, you were already the angel closest to God, so have you become a god now? If so, Under your leadership, the Abraham family can rise again!"

Facing the future described by his descendants, Bethel shook his head helplessly:

"I've let you down. I'm not a god now, nor am I the king of angels I used to be. I'm just a Sequence 2 angel."

Dorian couldn't help asking:

"Why is that?"

Compared to the frustration of his descendants, Bethel Abraham smiled nonchalantly:
"I can come back from space and get rid of pollution, after all, I have to pay some price."

He thought he was bound to die, and he had no regrets about it—at least compared to being manipulated by the Outer Gods, dying with the Outer Gods was a good ending, and it was not in vain for his uncompromising struggle for thousands of years .

But now he not only survived, but was even allowed to retain the strength of the angel, which is already the best result.

Although he completely lost the chance to become a god because of this, Bethel still enjoyed it.

Verdu still didn't give up, and asked hopefully:
"Even if it's just an angel, can it lead the family to prosperity again?"

Bethel looked at his descendants, nodded slowly but firmly:
"of course."

North District, 160 Berklund Street.

In the living room, Klein had a surprised expression and said in surprise:

"You didn't kill him?"

Ember tasted the wine casually, and said:

"From a personal point of view, I actually admire him very much. Thousands of years of torture didn't make him give up resistance, even if he knew he was going to die, he didn't choose to cooperate with the enemy and be a leading party."

"On the other hand, I have no reason to kill him, right? All I need is the Extraordinary characteristics and uniqueness of Sequence 1. If he is willing to give up all of these, it would be a good thing for him to survive."

Klein clicked his tongue and said:

"Indeed, this way you can prostitute an angel for nothing."

Every true god has at least one angel who serves him. For example, the three-fold crowned person of each orthodox church is an angel.In addition, there are special angels like the head of the thirteen archbishops of the Church of Evernight, the ascetic monk Arianna—the Church of Evernight is like this, and there is no reason why other churches are not.

In other words, each righteous god has at least two angels under his command.

In an era when gods cannot walk in the world, the number of these angels directly determines their right to speak in this world.

And if the god itself is a bare-bones commander and doesn't have a single angel, then maybe he doesn't even have anyone to teach him.And if the god falls into a deep sleep due to some accident during the process of becoming a god, it may even cause the lack of anchor points due to no one preaching, which will lead to loss of control and madness.

Ember took a sip of his wine and said leisurely:

"It's a whoring for nothing, but it's not my whoring for nothing."

Klein was taken aback:
"What do you mean?"

Ember said slowly:
"My request for Bethel to be resurrected is that he lead Abraham's family to believe in 'The Fool'."

Klein has a weird expression on his face, why is everything stuffed into him!
Well, although he is not unacceptable.

"However, what you need to focus on now should be another thing."

"what?"

Klein was taken aback for a moment, feeling a little strange.

He has been steadily promoting the promotion of the sequence, and the construction of the Tarot Club has also tended to be perfect.

Is there anything else that needs attention?
Ember said slowly:
"war."

Klein's color changed slightly, and his heart suddenly trembled.

war.

This word instantly reminded him of some details that he had overlooked.
