Mystery: Shadow of Order

Popular recommendation:

"No, because the end is coming."

Bernadette turned her head slightly to look at Rawls. She is no stranger to the doomsday prophecy that has been circulating in the mysterious world, which is also a common claim of many secret sects. After becoming a "Master of Prophecy", he also has his own judgment on whether the doomsday will come.

The end will come!

But whether it's the "Queen of Mysteries" or ordinary people, they can't resist the doomsday!

But for Bernadette Gustave, finding her father, Roselle Gustave, was her only wish before that.

"No one can escape the apocalypse except the gods."

"No, even the gods can't avoid it." Rawls shook his head slightly.

"Even the one you believe in?"

"The existence we believe in is beyond the true God."

beyond the true God? Bernadette found someone with a similar description from her memory. The rose school originated in the southern continent. At first, she believed in the "bound god", and later the influence of the "mother tree of desire" became more and more powerful, allowing a An organization comparable to the Church of the True God broke out in civil strife, and the "moderation faction" disappeared, leaving only the "indulgence faction".

And the Extraordinary of the "Indulgence Sect" believes that the "Mother Tree of Desire" is a **** beyond the Seven Gods and the "True Creator"!

But Bernadette is very clear about one thing, that is, the "mother tree of desire" has nothing to do with the two paths of "arbitrator" and "lawyer". This is not to say that people who believe in a true God must be the Extraordinary of their path. The Church of Storms will also have the Extraordinary of the "Reader" path, but it will never cultivate a "Prophet".

So are "Mist of Uncertainty" and the "Mother Tree of Desire" a similar existence, or are they simply exaggerated?

"The Tamara family chose Loen?"

"It suits us!"

Bernadette is silent, as a "Master of Prophecy", her promotion to "Sage" is to prevent a disaster involving high-level power. For her, the high-level power, at least, is an angel, and when it comes to an angel, there is a high probability that it will cause a **** to descend.

And such an opportunity is in Backlund, and not just once.

"I don't know how much power the Tamara family has preserved, but it is absolutely impossible to deal with the Augustus family. Whether it is from the number and level of Beyonders, or the influence on Loen in all aspects."

Even though the Loen Kingdom is now in the power of the parliament and the cabinet, the millennium of the Augustus family makes them fully capable of overthrowing these and taking all the power to themselves. It is only because of the three major churches and the three gods behind them that this cannot be done.

"So, do you have any good advice?"

Bernadette looked at Rawls sitting opposite, raised his chin slightly, and stared at him for two seconds:

"Cooperation."

"Cooperation?" Rawls repeated the word, while Alysia was a little moved.

"Yes, you should know my identity, the things he left are not limited to the Beyonder world! And these are the things that the Tamara family lacks the most, aren't they?"

Because of the lack of understanding of the Tamara family and the "mist of uncertainty" they believe in, Bernadette was relatively passive during the conversation, but now she has taken the initiative back. After all, for her, working with the Tamara family is optional.

How could Rawls realize how Klein felt when he faced Bernadette for the first time? He clearly took the initiative in the beginning. He could feel that Bernadette followed his messenger to find him this time because of the relationship between "Mist of Uncertainty" and "Dark Emperor", and because of Roselle.

But Bernadette didn't say a word about these, only talked about the difficulties that the Tamara family had to face, and offered a solution. And Rawls, because of Roselle's current state and a certain idea of ​​his own, cannot reveal that Roselle finally chose the "Dark Emperor" for the time being, or even other relevant news.

Although "The Mist of Uncertainty" is "closely related" to him, he really doesn't understand it, and Alysia may know a little bit, but Rawls is also worried that she will reveal some other news in the process of telling, such as a hundred Many years ago, the "Dark Emperor" was born.

Bernadette's sudden attack made Rawls fall into a passive state. But it is undeniable that she is more yearning for what she provides.

"What do we need to pay?"

Bernadette's expression softened a little, and there was a slight smile on the corner of his mouth:

"For the time being, I haven't thought about it, but you can understand what I have."

It's up for grabs! Rawls sighed and nodded in agreement.

...

Rawls opened his mouth and tried his best to contain his expression, but let alone him, even Klein might not be able to control himself here, and might even lose control on the spot. As a "law mage", Alysia, who has always lacked expression, is not much better.

After a while, Rawls squeezed the frame of the mirror and pressed the bridge of his nose hard, which made him react from the huge surprise. He looked at Bernadette, who said this but didn't care, and heaved a sigh of relief:

"what do you need?"

"I have a hunch that even if I ask a question, I won't get the answer I want, so I will wait for a suitable opportunity." Bernadette is very confident in her hunch, and does not think that paying these things will still pay off There is a problem without answering an answer, "As for Nast, I will hide it for you."

"...Uh, okay, thank you." Rawls almost forgot what the purpose of his letter to Sharf was.

"I know very little about Edward Lyto. He is Nast's adopted son, and he was promoted to 'Fallen Earl' forty-two years ago..."

"Forty-two years ago?" Rawls froze for a moment and asked.

"There is no problem with the timing, and his ritual has my help." Bernadette's voice was soft but majestic, and seemed to be dissatisfied with Rawls interrupting her.

"Didn't he defect thirty years ago?"

Rawls remembers very well that Edward's defection occurred before the "Viscount Dread" boarded the ship, so he has no memory of the former first mate. And because of his relationship with the captain, he couldn't learn from other crew members.

"It was because Nast left the Dark Emperor and infiltrated Backlund that Edward had the opportunity to defect."

Rawls knew that the "King of the Five Seas" had sneaked into Backlund. After all, his father Mason and Bird Mustang had experienced it personally, but he did not expect that Edward's defection was also affected by this reason. But why did he choose to defect after being promoted to a demigod more than ten years ago?

Gradually growing ambitions?

"Although I don't know the reason for Edward Laito's defection, it should have been affected by the characteristics of this pathway. More likely, in the past ten years, his potion has been digested, and Nast's forces have been controlled. Couldn't help with his promotion to 'Frenzy Mage'."

Bernadette paused, her blue eyes took a deep look at Rawls before continuing:

"And this, unless Nast becomes an angel and is promoted to the 'Duke of Entropy'."

Although she had been instilled with the knowledge of the "Hidden Sage" in order to find out some details of her father at the last moment, she only had some understanding of some characteristics of the "Dark Emperor" pathway, specific to the details of the ceremony, potion formula and Not sure. In addition to some objects she can't ask, the Tamara family should also know.

In addition, it is the robber "Dark Emperor" who once appeared in Backlund.

Alas, a pirate king cannot support two demigods, which is why it is difficult for the four kings to continue to expand their power... Rawls did not respond to Bernadette's temptation, in fact, even if he told Nader The ceremony and formula of Sturt's promotion to an angel, judging from the future situation, there is little hope that the ceremony can be completed.

"Which demigod did Edward's promotion ceremony "degenerate"?"

"It was a 'puppet' of the rose school of 'indulgence'. At that time, the struggle between 'modernism' and 'indulgence' became more and more fierce. He looked for an opportunity to complete the ritual. Nast and I blocked the 'indulgence' for him. ' aid."

Bernadette looked sideways at the void, and seemed to be thinking about something. After a while, she said a little uncertainly:

"Looking back carefully now, Edward's ceremony should not be completed completely. Whether it is time or details, there should be loopholes in the ceremony. At the beginning, Nast and I didn't realize this. After all, he has completed the promotion. ."

Good guy, Edward Leto is the real "lawyer"! Even the promotion ceremony dares to rely on loopholes to complete it! Rawls's eyelids jumped instinctively. After watching the "Dark Emperor Card", he knew very well that the ceremony of "Fallen Earl" was actually more important to the early preparations. Subsequent digestion and promotion of potions.

Ritual can be simplified or loopholes, such as the "tyrant" ritual of becoming a god. It takes hundreds of thousands of followers who obey and believe because of fear, secondly, challenge a true **** alone, which is other Sequence 0, and survive, and finally, in the atmosphere of fear and obedience, take magic medicine , complete the promotion.

The core of this ritual is the courage to challenge the gods and a lot of fear and obedience, which the Lord of the Storm actually accomplished when he assassinated the ancient sun god. Confronting the old days of a quasi-pillar is definitely better than challenging a true god, and a lot of fear and obedience is easy for a Storm Lord with his own followers.

The core of the "Fallen Earl" ceremony is to experience the "fallen" and establish a connection with the rules. The mind and state of the "indulgence" demigods are themselves too good, and Edward has to face the internal turmoil of the Rose School, and the "mother tree of desire". "This old man is in control, and the time to complete the ceremony is most likely to be on the qualifying line.

But in any case, Edward succeeded, but it's not certain whether it will be affected in the future!

Rawls looked at the "Queen of Mysteries", Nast should not have asked her for "prophecy", after all, this would hurt the majesty of the "King of the Five Seas" too much.

...

On the way back to the hotel, Rawls felt that his feet were not solid ground but soft sand. He didn't think it was so important to him how much influence Roselle had on the world. Even now he felt that the most important thing in all of Roselle's legacy was not the diary, not the "blasphemous card", but the long list of names spit out from Bernadette's mouth.

This includes banks, land, trust funds, major mines, stock exchanges, plantations, railways, newspapers, law firms, etc. Almost all important industries in the world have the shadow of the Gustav family.

After the fall of Roselle, Intis went through many regime changes, and finally determined the regime in the form of a republic. However, in order to gain the support and balance of all parties, the parliament did not liquidate the forces behind the previous regimes, and maintained basic stability, maintaining the competition of multiple forces in the competition for parliamentary seats.

Among them was the Gustav family, who kept most of their fortunes at the expense of quitting politics altogether. And these properties are managed by the Steam Church, and they only enjoy dividends.

But these properties did not include Bernadette's share. The share she held was retained through various equity holdings, and the cross-shareholding was retained. Although it is not much compared to the share held by the descendants of the Shire, it retains complete management rights.

This allows the "Queen of Mysteries" to know a lot about Intis, Loen, Lumberg, Masi, and Segal, and use it to exert influence. This is the influence of Roselle's protection of Lenburg, Masi, Segal and other countries, and the long-term marriage of Intis and Ruen.

Take newspapers as an example, even if you ask an illiterate homeless man~www.wuxiaspot.com~ he knows one of the most famous newspapers in the world, the Intis Post. And this newspaper was founded by Emperor Roselle, and was famous for its sensational headlines.

But Roselle also has a certain shareholding in some newspapers in Intis, and let these newspapers be beaten at the beginning of the newspaper as a news medium to increase sales... Of course, these are Rawls's Guessing, but he believes that Huang Tao's character can definitely do such a thing.

When Bernadette realized that there was an opportunity for her to be promoted in Backlund, she gave up some of Intis's properties through an equity swap to strengthen the monitoring of various information about Backlund.

And these are the assistance she can provide, making up for the biggest deficiency of the Tamara family. Even without the power of Beyonders, mastering these can make the Tamara family grow into a huge family second only to the Negan family and the Hall family in an instant, almost comparable to the Levitt family and the Wolf family. comparable.

The only flaw is the title and history.

But judging from the current situation of Loen, money can be exchanged for a title, it just depends on how much you pay. As for history, only the land aristocracy can be measured. For more aristocrats, influence is more important.

Rawls remembered the Albert Wayne he met at a banquet at the Lincoln Law School in Tingen, whose familial wealth was far less than that of Tingen's Sir Deville, but his influence was far greater. It is because the Wien family has extensive influence in the newspaper industry that even the New Party and the Conservative Party have to win over them.

Under the interference of Rawls, the Wien family temporarily delayed the merger led by the New Party. After Duke Negan was assassinated, they could persuade Pripp to reconsider the matter.
