Chapter 124: 6
Chapter 1011 The "Care" of the Gustavus "It was finally confirmed that more than a hundred people have become believers of the 'Great Mother'?"
The day after leaving Belon Village, Angel sat in the chair when he met Bernadette. In the private room on the top floor of the restaurant, he asked while enjoying an improved Intis meal that was more suitable for the taste of the Loen people.
Although after becoming an angel, she no longer needs to eat physically, but from the perspective of psychological satisfaction and the necessity of maintaining human nature, proper enjoyment of food is beneficial and harmless.
Even in some small places, food is placed when worshiping the gods. For example, the ritual magic used for the first communication with Mr. Fool required four different delicacies... He used the excuse of "Mr. Fool did it too" to appease him. Holding himself, Angel put the thick-cut steak into his mouth with his dinner fork.
Perhaps because she was too preoccupied, Bernadette opposite her didn't have much appetite. She nodded and said,
"They account for a quarter of the total number of villagers. Most of them are young adults who have been employed by Nast." After interrogation of the man and his family, the 'Purifier' learned that Nast first preached to them in the depths of the jungle that all human beings have the same great mother, but because they were far away from Him, they were contaminated by reality and became dull, Weak. As long as you believe in the 'Great Mother' again, you can change back to your original appearance.
"Generally speaking, this kind of heresy is difficult to gain the approval of the villagers who already believe in the 'Eternal Blazing Sun', but Nast is very happy . Perhaps through his amplification of words and distortion of his behavior, these locals who had lived in the countryside for a long time and had not broadened their horizons of thinking initially believed these statements. Later, he performed some miracles, such as curing some people's stubborn diseases and accelerating the growth of plants. The growth makes people more energetic..."
This is a bit like the "moon", which is the ability of the Medicine Master path... Nast used the pollution in his body from the "Fallen Mother Goddess", or did he simply accept this outsider? A gift from God... Angel continued to listen to Bernadette's narration while analyzing it in his mind.
"...During this period, Nast contacted Father Raymond and the administrator of Belon Village. The former was named. His previous threats of embezzlement and donation, coupled with the temptation of power promised by the 'Great Mother', broke his oath to the Eternal Blazing Sun. The latter was bribed with money and turned a blind eye to the abnormalities in the village.
"When we arrived, half of the followers of the 'Great Mother' had become pregnant under some strange 'inspiration' and gave birth to children at an extremely fast speed. These babies were all taken away by Nast. Their parents recovered quickly, no longer doubted the power of the Great Mother, and became more pious."
As Bernadette said this, she took a sip of the champagne on the table.
Angel, on the other hand, noted that the pronoun she used to refer to the babies was "they."
This means that she does not regard these rapidly born babies as normal humans.
"Are any male villagers who gave birth to those babies?"
she asked speculatively.
"Rather, most of them are like this. More than 70% of the more than 40 babies were born by men. They said that the whole process happened in one day, but they had a complete pregnancy process, even including... the baby tore them apart. The belly crawled out on its own... The 'Purifiers' of the Tribunal finally discovered that there was no pollution from the 'Great Mother' in these villagers, and the power in their bodies was transferred to the babies."
Bernadette's expression . She replied erratically. Obviously, she had never heard of such a strange incident after living for more than a hundred years.
If the ability to cure stubborn diseases comes from the "Moon" pathway, this weird power that allows people to quickly conceive and have children is probably from the "Mother" pathway. I heard that Fenebote, where the Church of the Mother Goddess of the Earth is located, is very knowledgeable about fertility and childbirth. He has an extremely passionate pursuit of reproduction and worships the mother of all things, which is almost consistent with the "Great Mother"... Angel thought, and had a deeper understanding of the power held by the "Fallen Mother Goddess" and the source material "Mother's Nest".
Under this kind of thought, the steak and mushroom soup in front of her seemed less delicious, but instead had a strange atmosphere lingering around them.
She simply put down her knife and fork and continued to ask:
"How did St. Veyève and the 'Purifier' deal with these believers in the end?"
"At this point, the Eternal Sun believers who pay attention to the contract did not violate the agreement. They only dealt with it. Except for those believers of the 'Great Mother' who were actually polluted and irreparable, some were 'lucky' enough to leave behind children, while those who had discharged the pollution by the way were detained. Although their lives were safe, they might not be able to return to normal life in their lifetimes. ...The remaining unsuspecting villagers will be moved out of Belon Village by the 'Purifiers' and moved to another village. They will also be subject to secret observation and surveillance. As for the village itself, it will be thoroughly burned. Clean it up to avoid any contamination."
Bernadette's expression finally became lighter as she said this.
Without their intervention, judging from the not-so-good reputation of the Eternal Fierce Sun, perhaps the entire village and all the villagers who might have been contaminated would have been completely burned by the sky fire, erasing all traces.
The current solution similar to Banxi Port is the best outcome they can get for those innocent villagers.
And both times seemed to have a lot to do with me... Thinking of his honorable name of "Essence of Disaster", Angel changed the topic with a guilty conscience:
"Where is the whereabouts of Nast Solomon? What does the Church of Steam and the Eternal Blazing Sun have? Any clues?"
Bernadette shook her head:
"Absolutely not. Conventional means cannot track this Sequence 3 Extraordinary, and locating it through divination and prophecy will also be interfered with by the power of the 'Great Mother'.' The Purifier even lost a Level 1 Sealed Artifact...I heard that the Golden Compass had given birth to three small compasses before it was completely purified."
Angel's scalp felt a little numb when he heard it, and his mind naturally went numb. A scene emerged where an inorganic compass was shrouded in crimson mist and trembled to give birth to a similar species.
Fortunately, she and Bernadette are masters in the field of divination and prophecy respectively, and they know that the risk of divination for a polluted target like Nast is extremely high. Otherwise, Angel, as an angel, might be lucky, and Bernadette might be prophesying The moment they see each other, they will become pregnant with the child of the "Fallen Mother Goddess" on the spot, and will be severely polluted as a result. This is also the reason why "Element Dawn" only dared to carry out indirect divination and positioning, which led to some errors in the intelligence, or "a step too late", allowing Nast to escape successfully, leaving forty deformed babies to continue in the forest. Worship at the dark red altar in the middle room.
Thinking of this, she asked:
"What about the information about the sacrificial scene left by Nast? What is his purpose in collecting historical books about Emperor Russell?"
"The 'Purifiers' think this is probably a misleading. It was a false clue left by Nast after he cut off the means of divination and prophecy. He may have left Intis and headed to the sea or other neighboring countries to find another remote place to continue his 'great cause'."
Bernadette chuckled, not knowing whether to agree with their guess or to sneer.
At sea, Bernadette's "Element Dawn" can continue to pursue clues. If it is a neighboring country, only Rune can think of a way. Fenebote may also attract the attention of the Church of the Mother Earth. After all, "Fallen" If the "Mother Goddess" can break through the barrier outside the earth and send power into reality, the most worrying thing should be the god in the path of the "Mother"...
Angel told Bernadette her thoughts and asked her men to pay attention to Nas. There are traces of the unique "Black Emperor". As for Loen who is caught in the war, I am afraid that the Nighthawks can only work hard.
Angel, who had finalized everything, was about to end the conversation, leave Trier separately with Bernadette, and fulfill his promise to Saint-Vieve, when the towering chimneys of the Steam Church Cathedral facing the restaurant windows followed. The steam-driven clock made a dull roar, and at the same time, strong steam emitted, covering the sky and dimming the surrounding sunlight.
It's not yet noon... Angel just had his doubts when he noticed slight changes in the "physical laws" such as gravity and air pressure in the surrounding environment.
Then, beside the two of them, the tall body of Bonova Gustave was outlined.
"Are you here to see us off?"
Angel asked with a smile as he looked at the angel of the Church of Steam, whose expression was as indifferent as a doll.
"On behalf of the church, I would like to express my gratitude to both of them, especially Miss Angelica, not only for their efforts this time to thwart the conspiracy of the followers of the 'Great Mother', but also for their help in solving the problem of the 'Man in the Mirror' last time."
In her letter Under his gaze, Bonova said in a businesslike tone.
"I actually did both of these things for myself. The 'Man in the Mirror' is closely related to the path of the witch, and you should also know the origin of the 'Great Mother'."
Angel also accepted the other party's thanks indifferently.
Bonova nodded slightly, glanced at Bernadette who said nothing, and then said:
"There is another thing, which is also the reason why Bernadette asked me to come..." At this point, his expression changed. , seemed a lot more vivid, "The extraordinary characteristics of the 'Conqueror' you are looking for can be found deep in the Red Swan Castle of the Sauron family, which can lead to the area under Trier, but Only the core members of the Sauron family know exactly how to open the passage. "
The Conqueror... Angel subconsciously looked at Bernadette, who nodded and smiled encouragingly.
Could it be that she thought that I could only advance to Sequence 2 in the Witch Path and that my future was bleak, so she kindly provided clues to the jump path... Although I had thought of using the jump path as a last resort, Firstly, the promotion ceremony of "Conqueror" is too harsh. Secondly, even if I am successfully promoted, I can only stay at Sequence 1 if I cannot go further, which will have a fatal impact on my relationship with Klein, so I have never been there. Thinking about this...
Angel was thinking a lot in his mind. He looked at Bernadette and then at Bonova, and suddenly found that the corners of the latter's mouth were also slightly raised, as if he was secretly laughing.
His "humanity" is much richer than the last time I saw him in the market area. Is it because Bernadette has contacted Him many times recently?
————
In a luxurious villa in the hot spring area, Servilia Soren stood in the study, browsing the report on the family's various expenditure budgets for the next year in her hand, her beautiful brows slightly frowned, and she asked questions from time to time. The housekeeper in front of me had some tricky questions.
The latter lowered his head and answered respectfully, but his eyes secretly glanced at the smooth instep of his hostess, which was exposed outside the hem of her long skirt and was holding on to her slippers. Unknowingly, her breathing became heavier.
Feeling the blazing gaze of the man in front of her, Servilia secretly smiled, dismissed the already absent-minded housekeeper, yawned and walked toward the bedroom.
Even after being promoted to Sequence 5, her charm and physical strength are better than before, and she still has to take a nap when it's time to take a nap...
She hummed the theme song of a drama recently screened at the Renaissance Theater in Memorial Parish, took off her long skirt and threw it aside. Putting on a silk nightgown, she threw herself into the soft bed with a swoop.
Behind her, a dressing mirror that reflected a panoramic view of the bedroom suddenly rippled, revealing a deep and dark void inside.
(End of chapter)Chapter 1012: Here I Come, My Niece. Ripples circulated in the dressing mirror, and a figure wearing a black palace dress quickly appeared in it. She stretched out her slender arm and knocked on the door between the real world and the mirror world, and then came to the bedroom. among.
This woman with long black hair tied behind her head and dark gray eyes hidden with sadness looked at Servilia's back, her red lips raised slightly.
The latter rolled on the bed, stretched out his limbs, and turned to the dressing mirror. Only then did he realize that there was someone else in the room, and his expression suddenly froze.
"Mother, why are you here..."
Only then did Servilia realize that all her lazy behavior had been seen. She hurriedly got up from the bed, straightened her nightgown, and said slightly embarrassed.
"Let's see how ugly you are without making progress."
The person whom Servilia called her mother was Clarisse, the "Black Witch" in charge of Trier in the "Witch Cult". She walked slowly from the dressing mirror to Next to the bed, he sat down on an easy chair that was covered with soft cushions and tied with pillows, and let out a somewhat coquettish moan.
"You quite enjoy it." She commented meaningfully.
"Thank you for the compliment, but didn't you already know this? I thought you had been cultivating Brownies recently...Brownies."
Servilia replied with a nonchalant smile, and then stood next to the easy chair, as if Make up your mind to treat it as nothing happened no matter how much your mother ridicules you.
Clarisse glanced at her daughter, moved her soft chin, and said with a half-smile:
"Intis has launched a war against Loen, and soon the whole world will be in flames of war. This is your fault." Pain', a great time to digest the potion. If it goes well, you should be eligible to be promoted to 'Despair' next year...
"During the war, there are many opportunities to hold promotion ceremonies. If you miss this one, you want to be in the major churches Being promoted to 'Despair' right under your nose, I'm afraid there won't be much hope.
"I thought you weren't going to let me be promoted to demigod. "
Servilia interjected with an indifferent expression. "
That was before, and now there is a shortage of people within the sect," Clarisse shook the easy chair and said softly, "Your nominal daughter Elaine... Sauron has been promoted to Sequence 5 'Reaper' at sea and has his own fleet. You can't even compare to her. "
Elaine..."
Servilia's beautiful brows furrowed, as if she thought for a while before remembering the person corresponding to this name, and asked doubtfully:
"Is she not related to 'Lieutenant General of Disease' Tracy Pellet?" Are there any grudges or grudges? The 'White Saint' who controls the Rhoside Islands will let her be promoted so easily?
"Oh, that's not a grudge, it's just some kind of interest. " I guess Katarina may have played a lot of role in Elaine's promotion process, in order to let her daughter digest the pain and despair, become a demigod as soon as possible, and completely grasp the situation at sea.
Clarisse commented with a chuckle, and the charm she exuded inadvertently made her daughter stunned for a moment. "
Moreover, Elaine should be connected with the 'Golden Queen' and is the other party's agent at sea. With Catalina's character, she would not touch her at will, and would even ask Tracy to give up many benefits as a sign of goodwill. "
"Golden Queen" Angelica Sage...
Hearing this name that resounded all over the world, Servilia's expression changed again. She hesitated and asked:
"This witch... is really Baekeland. Eileen Watson of Germany?
"Based on the previous information, yes. " Clarisse nodded slightly, then laughed, "This is your good niece. If you hadn't provided her with the 'happy' formula and potion materials, would she have become an 'ageless' witch so quickly?" Servilia didn't seem to care much about her mother's sarcasm
. Instead, she muttered:
"I didn't even have time to provide the formula. She found it by herself..."
Immediately, she adjusted her expression and was about to say more. What? Suddenly, his eyes widened and he looked behind Clarice.
The latter reacted instantly. Before she could even leave the easy chair, her body turned into a phantom in the mirror with thin tones and blurred outlines, and the real body entered without hesitation. Entering the "mirror world".
But the next second, she appeared next to Servilia with a pale face, as if she had just taken a "journey to the mirror world" with a distance of less than one meter,
because she found that nearby . All the mirror passages are completely sealed, and even using the magic mirror she carries, she can only move such a short distance.
This is the only witch with a higher order than her and who can completely master the "mirror world" . Something that can only be done.
Has a "disaster" witch from a certain sect arrived in Trier?
With this question, Clarice's gray eyes looked at the position where Servilia was staring, and realized that she had just used it. When I came to the dressing mirror in the bedroom, a slender and beautiful figure appeared at some point. She was wearing a light green wavy dress popular in Fenebaud. Her blond hair was tied up casually and draped behind her back. Her face was slightly thin but she had a graceful face. The outline and a pair of purple eyes attracted attention like a whirlpool, making Clarice stunned for a moment before she realized that the person in front of her was the "Golden Queen" Angelica Sage whom she had just evaluated before.
She had actually become ". The "disaster" witch has become a real angel!
What on earth is "White Saint" Catalina doing? How come there is a witch angel who does not belong to the sect in her jurisdiction?
Clarice had already sent her daughter to The matter of helping the other party's promotion was forgotten, and he kept complaining in his heart, but a friendly smile appeared on his face, and he even bowed slightly and said hello in a soft tone:
"Her Royal Highness the Golden Queen. "
As an "ageless" witch who has lived for hundreds of years, she is still very capable of assessing the situation. Even if the other party may be an enemy of the witch sect, it is not a rational choice to conflict with an angel at this time.
"I just wanted to come and visit. Servilia, thank you for the properties she left me. I didn't expect there would be an unexpected surprise. "
Looking at the "Black Witch" who had completely blocked her escape route and had no choice but to bow her head obediently, Angel raised the corners of his mouth slightly, showing a satisfied smile.
"I know you can kill you here, and you can also use the 'mirror' to kill you. People can be resurrected, but not your daughter. "
Only then did Servilia, who was pointed out by her, really show a panicked expression, realizing why her mother had completely given up resistance, and realizing that she had been "promoted" to the elder of the Disaster Witch from this moment on.
Of course, this Not only did she dare not say this out loud, she was worried that the other party would see it even if she kept it in her mind.
Clarisse, who had similar thoughts to her, also changed her expression slightly, as if she was abandoning her daughter and trying to attack with all her strength. After making a difficult decision, he finally lowered his eyes and showed submission again, asking in a low voice:
"What do you want to know? "
She has already guessed that the other party came to Servilia to ask for some information about Trier and the Witch Sect, rather than killing people to take away the characteristics. Otherwise, he would not use words to force him, but would take action directly.
After all , Within the witch path, the suppression of low-level people by high-level people is comprehensive,
especially after the high-level sequence. The "disaster" witch who can control the "mirror world" has too many ways to kill a saint. The "ageless" witch can indeed be resurrected through the "mirror man" hidden in the mirror world, but Servilia cannot, and cannot even escape through the mirror double.
Between certain "death" and possible cooperation, "The Black Witch" chose the latter without hesitation.
Seeing that the other party was so cooperative, Angel was not polite. She walked slowly to the center of the bedroom. Under the gaze of the mother and daughter, who might also be regarded as father and son, Angel looked around. She was disappointed to find that there was no sofa, so she could only reluctantly sit on it. On the easy chair, which still had Clarisse's body temperature and body fragrance, he asked casually:
"First of all, the Loen royal family once gave a copy of the 'Conqueror' trait to the Witch Cult. Do you know its whereabouts?"
"It has been dedicated to the original."
Clarice glanced at Angel, who was in a similar posture to hers just now, with his body swaying slightly with the easy chair, and replied respectfully.
Sure enough, no witch would dare to secretly keep this kind of hot potato in their hands, unless they plan to jump to an adjacent path. However, this will lead to the hostility of the "original witch", and this sequence 0 is trying every possible means to get it. The purpose of obtaining the Sequence 1 characteristics of the adjacent pathway is probably to combine with the "uniqueness" of the hunter pathway to try to impact the "old days" personality... Angel's mind immediately recalled the information he had received from the man in the mirror.
Unfortunately, from this point of view, I also have irreconcilable conflicts with the "Original Witch", just like the night and the God of War, the storm and the blazing sun... and to go further, they are robbing the characteristics and "uniqueness" of Sequence 1 , and I occupied the "City of Disaster" necessary for the "Original Witch" to advance to the past... Thoughts flowed in her mind, and she continued to ask after a moment:
"Since you are responsible for the affairs of the 'Witch Sect' in Trier, You should know that the Sauron family originally held a copy of the 'Conqueror', right? Is there any clue about it?"
Although she already knew that this conqueror trait was within the Sauron family in the Fourth Age. Although he was an out-of-control Fermunda Sauron, he still decided to deceive this "Black Witch".
The latter nodded as expected and said:
"I know, it originally belonged to the Count of Champagne, Vermonda Champagne Sauron, but it was lost accidentally a long time ago. The Sauron family has also been looking for its whereabouts. I'm afraid you We can only ask them."
"Red Swan Castle?"
Angel asked.
This was obviously beyond Clarice's expectation. She raised her eyebrows and nodded:
"Yes, it is said that there are some abnormalities inside this castle, but I don't know the specific circumstances."
