Mystery: Undead don't die from passing fire

Xio looked at the family in front of her, her eyes gradually softened, and she murmured in a low voice:

"It's only been a year..."

In one year, she went from a wild Beyonder to the leader of the official Beyonders, Count Dill of the Loen Kingdom, and the general director of the national intelligence agency MI[-]!Unless one can further become an angel, this is already the limit that an ordinary extraordinary person can achieve.But Xio is not greedy, she is very satisfied with it.

After all, the span in between is far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.Even Xio would feel vaguely unbelievable when he thought about it.

How exactly did she do it?
In the final analysis, it is because of two existences - Ember and the Fool.

Ember laid the groundwork for her, giving her the chance to seek revenge and clear her family's name.

Mr. Fool's Tarot Society also broadened her horizons in the extraordinary world.But in the final analysis, wasn’t the reason why she was able to join the Tarot Society also because of Ember’s introduction?

There is no doubt that she is grateful in her heart, and even has some different emotions because of her past experience.

And the members of the Tarot Club now understand that whether they are Embers or Fools, they, or they, were all remnants of the old era—perhaps they originated from those who have disappeared in the long river of history without even the slightest record. In the Age of Fire, they were already gods tens of thousands of years ago.

But with the advent of the Deep Sea Age, they were forced into a deep sleep.

These two beings did not wake up one after another until the Fifth Age. As they gradually recovered their lost power, they also began to plan to return past history to reality.Judging from the attitude of the existences such as the Night Goddess, they do not seem to object to this. Maybe some of them know the secrets of the 'Age of Fire' and the 'Age of Deep Sea', or maybe they already exist. Like Ember and The Fool, they come from the glorious and magnificent 'Age of Fire' in the dream!
And she, or rather they, are the agents chosen by these gods.

They have gained huge benefits from this, leaping from a low-sequence extraordinary to a sequence 3 saint.

In fact, there may not be a chance of becoming a Sequence 2 angel in the future.

However, the world is fair, and you will lose as much as you gain.

As Emperor Russell once said, there is no such thing as a free lunch.

Now that she has received gifts from those two beings, she must be prepared to serve and even sacrifice for them.

Xio had already been mentally prepared for this. The only thing she couldn't worry about was her family.

But there is no need to worry about that now.

The meritorious service she accumulated during the war made her the Earl of Dill and the general director of MI[-]. At the same time, she also accumulated a huge wealth of millions of gold pounds - of course, this money was not obtained from the war. They came here, but they were copied from the house.

Hugh had no mercy for those corrupt nobles who attempted treason, and the same was true for the king.

Their titles and fiefs were deprived of, and their property and wealth were confiscated.

But in the process of confiscation, it is normal for Hugh, as the general person in charge, to take a little bit.

In this way, even if Hugh accidentally dies during the execution of his mission, the continuation of the Dill family can be ensured.First of all, the title of earl will be automatically inherited by her younger brother, and the wealth she has accumulated can also ensure that her mother and younger brother live a life of good food and clothing.

Xio was already very satisfied with this. After all, wasn't that the purpose of coming to Backlund in the first place?
As a member of the Tarot Society, Xio knew very well what he would face next - some beings from the starry sky at the same level as the true gods, or even higher levels, coveting their world, and once these beings arrived, waiting for them It will be an unprecedented doomsday!

Although the true gods will protect this world, even gods have limitations. After all, they cannot protect everyone.

If she does nothing, does not take a certain degree of risk, and just enjoys the beauty of her family, she will eventually be completely submerged like most unprepared people facing a flood.

And now, at least there is still a road full of thorns, and there is at least a sliver of light on the road.

That requires the awareness of sacrifice and courage to grasp it.

"What are you thinking about?" Forsi looked at his friend suspiciously.

"It's nothing."

Xio smiled and shook his head and asked:

"What are you going to do next?"

"same as before."

Forsi spread his hands and said helplessly:
"I need to write a new book."

Xio immediately understood that as Forsi was a writer and the main compiler of "The Holy Words of Fools", she would of course continue to be responsible for this aspect, such as converting the old "Age of Fire" The stories of heroic figures were written into biographies for sung.

The purpose of doing this is of course to deepen people's impression and understanding of the 'Age of Fire'.

After all, people now only know that there is an 'Age of Fire', and they are also aware of some major events that happened in this era.But when it comes to specific characters, dreams are usually brushed aside or not even mentioned.

To use a common saying from Forsi: The story frame is complete, but the characters are far from full.The 'Age of Fire' that people dream about is the framework, and what Forsi has to do is fill in the details and enrich the images of those old heroes.

Xio sat down next to her and asked with interest:
"Whose story are you going to start with?"

"Solar!" Forsi said without hesitation.

In fact, she wanted to write about the old witch, but that was a god after all. Even if it was a god that had fallen long ago, it was still a god after all.Even if she dares to write, others may not dare to read it, so it is better not to write.

And excluding those gods who couldn't be touched, there were many people left who could write, but Forsi still chose Solar because Forsi liked his story better.

Although there are many more stories she knew in her dreams, such as Igo of Kalim, the escapee Hawkwood, Obeck of Perheim, the conjurer Cormacus, Emma, ​​the chief priest of Lothric, Kurland There are many wonderful legends such as Ludos of Ludos, the Paladin Fodolink, Jack Baldo of Catalina, etc., but her favorite is Solar.

Solar's story is actually not that grand and ups and downs, but he can always appear when the undead are at their most desperate, fighting side by side with them and overcoming difficulties together.

Forsi is very self-aware. She knows that she cannot be like Solar, but this does not prevent her from admiring him.

Forsi took a bite of the sausage and muttered:

"When I finish these stories, people from the Abraham family will be responsible for spreading these stories around the world. This will make it a lot easier for me, I just don't know how the sales will be."

Xio rolled his eyes, the 'Age of Fire' had just reappeared, and it was now at its hottest stage.Once a corresponding story is published and endorsed by the 'Church of Fools', how can it be necessary to worry about sales?
It is no exaggeration to say that no matter how bad Forsi's writing is, some people will definitely buy it, and they will buy it very much!
What's more, Forsi's writing isn't bad either.

She is a well-known writer, and her previous work "Stormy Heights" has been well received.What's more, she is not creating out of thin air, but restoring it on the basis of the original story to make the characters more fleshed out. This is not difficult, and it can even be said to be done with skill.

Of course, this is a good thing.

Everyone is making progress, and things are moving in a good direction step by step.
-
Queen Backlund, in a luxurious manor on the outskirts.

Audrey sat in front of the dressing table, patted her face, and whispered to herself:
"This is my trial!"

She took a deep breath and let it out, looking quite nervous.

Because next, she is going to hunt a demigod, a Sequence 3 demigod.

Although she had done this kind of thing a lot in the past few months, she was always assisted by other members.This allows her to easily exert her own strength without interference, and use it to crush other demigods - in layman's terms, it means using more to defeat less, even if you don't think you can win.

Now, she needs to fight more with less.

The destination is the headquarters of the Psychological Alchemy Society, the Garden of Eden.

Audrey calmed down and looked at the mask on the table.On that cold gray-white mask, the two eyes moved upwards and were fixed on the forehead. They seemed to only focus on the heights and not care about anything else, giving people a feeling that was funny, weird, and potentially terrifying.

This is 'arrogance', one of the Seven Deadly Sins, and the credentials of a member of the Jury of the Psychological Alchemy Society.

The former royal advisor Hervin Rambis was 'arrogant', and when he fell, this mask had fallen into the hands of Ember.But Ember itself didn't need this mask, so it passed into Audrey's hands.

In fact, this mask is not only a powerful magical item, but also a certificate.

Audrey put 'arrogance' on her face, and the world in front of her immediately changed.

The originally ornately decorated room disappeared and was replaced by a strange city shrouded in night.

There are gorgeous buildings with a mysterious and dark feel in the city, and there are gentlemen wearing top hats and windbreakers walking around, and women with complicated and gloomy dresses... everything looks very harmonious, except that these people are not human. .

Among these "pedestrians" are werewolves with sharp fangs exposed from their mouths, bears that walk upright, cats with lazy expressions, weirdos with a colorful spider on their face, giant mice with red eyes, and vomiting cats. A python with a core, some kind of canine creature that looks at every passerby with eyes full of mating desire... There are all kinds of animals, but no people.

They wear top hats and windbreakers, or delicate and complicated dark long skirts, trying to imitate humans in every detail, but they can't make themselves truly human.

This is the Garden of Eden, a city of the soul.

The animals in front of us, which walk upright and are dressed as humans, are manifestations of different aspects of 'animal desires'. They are more consciousness, concepts and abstract things than entities.

Audrey looked into the distance and saw a church standing in the middle of the city.

This church is more than 80 meters high and is supported by huge black pillars. Each giant pillar is inlaid with a certain number of skulls. His eyes were aligned downwards, as if he was watching every creature entering the church.

Like most of the buildings here, every detail of this church is exquisite, but what makes them up is biased towards nightmare, horror, horror, and mysterious elements.

As soon as they sensed the intrusion of a stranger, the animals, some wearing top hats, windbreakers, or elaborate long skirts, started to stir at the same time, looking at Audrey with eyes full of aggressive desire.

At this moment, Audrey, who was wearing the 'arrogant' mask, felt like the whole city was the enemy.

The next second, the animals in the 'Garden of Eden', led by the bear whose formal suit was about to burst, would either show their fangs or growl lowly. Once they are hugged or bitten by them, they will be contaminated by the corresponding 'animal desires' , can only rely on one's own will or various extraordinary abilities of a few channels such as the 'audience' to resist.

This is also the self-defense mechanism of the Garden of Eden. If ordinary demigods came here, they would probably be at a loss.

But Audrey is no ordinary demigod, not to mention she is the 'audience' path.

She didn't do anything superfluous. She didn't pollute these 'animal desires' with a mental storm, nor did she detonate these 'animal desires' and set off a huge firework in the city. She just strolled through these 'animal desires'. 'Walking through.

And those 'animalistic' expressions quickly become confused as they lose their purpose.

Even though Audrey was standing right in front of them, they couldn't find her.

Audrey walked step by step to the center of the city, to the black church inlaid with skulls, and walked up the steps into the church.

She immediately saw a grand and empty hall, a huge cross and a gray-white dragon statue wrapped around the cross.

In front of the cross, there is a small long table with five seats on each side of the long table.

At this moment, at the top of the long table was a man sitting in a black wheelchair. His face was abnormally pale, his pale yellow eyebrows were long, his hair was combed back neatly, and his forehead was slightly wrinkled.

This is the leader of the Psychological Alchemy Society, Paulie Dellau.

At the same time, he is also the famous hermit Eric Derek and the 'King of the Black Seat' Barrows Hopkins.

Of course, no one knows whether he is the main body or one of his identities now.

Facing Audrey who suddenly invaded the Garden of Eden, Pauley Dellaw pointed to the seat next to the long table and said calmly:

"Please take a seat, Miss Arrogant."

"You knew I was coming?"

Audrey stopped in front of the long table, but did not sit down. She just asked.

Paulie Dellaw smiled and said:

"I just found out, but I have been thinking, who could be the person who can kill Hvin Rambis?"

"I didn't kill him."

Audrey shook her head slightly. Ash killed Hvin Rambis, and she was only a low-sequence Beyonder at that time. He could kill her with just one look.

She said softly:
"I killed you."
