Secret: Those years when I was a foreign aid for the Aurora Club

311

Human emotions, Amon was very interested in this topic.

He leaned against the wall, pushed up his glasses, and asked, "Are you regretting not collecting her soul?"

He thought Edward would nod, but he didn't expect the other party to deny it without hesitation.

"Being a unique soul is worthy of me taking a second look, but if you want to become a human being collected by me, it is far from qualified."

So Amon thought seriously and asked rationally: "Is Richard Ernst the only person on this planet that you think is worth collecting?"

Edward hummed, not reacting much to the name. He tapped the armrest with his fingers, and it seemed that he still had some thoughts: "I'm still more optimistic about him, although I don't think he will live long enough to be collected by me. Time, no, He certainly won’t survive.”

"Resist colonialism and support independence, and you will never escape the crime."

"Disrespecting the gods and awakening people will inevitably lead to death."

The evening sun shone on the devil. The devil used his hand to block the sun shining on his face. His black eyes narrowed slightly, and then he couldn't help laughing: "There are so many reasons to want him to die." There is a way, or there is no need for a reason to eradicate the cult. Richard should even thank the weak and incompetent Temperance Faction, and thank the dead Highland Princess. If she is still alive, the gods will definitely choose between him and Richard."

"One is the remnant of the party who may be destroyed by the indulgence faction at any time, the leader of the temperance faction who clings to the lap of the Seven Gods to survive, and the other is a cult angel who has strong influence among the people at the bottom but does not listen to God's words. Who should be eliminated? , it’s pretty clear who to choose.”

Amon got tired of standing, so he also moved a chair and sat down. He sat at the junction of sunlight and shadow, took out a gemstone from his pocket and looked at the sunlight carefully. The sunlight was refracted into countless tiny spots of light, which fell in every corner of the bedroom.

"His ideas and thoughts were all taught by you." Amon closed one eye, "Is this his 'future' you expect?"

What I expected? What I look forward to is watching His destiny go on naturally and move towards His due ending, whether the result is death or something else.

For people like Richard Ernst who have already awakened, even if I don’t convey the thoughts of the old era, he himself will find his way onto this path sooner or later. The awakened humans have proven that they are still the same as in the past. Such tireless pursuit of happiness, but this time the dream will not come true, and the theory will be defeated by the real world. He will not be the first, nor will he be the last, but there is no doubt that he is the strongest and the one with the most action and determination... But, look, the greatest ideas of mankind in the past have been destroyed by today's world Denial, difficulty in moving forward, or even destruction. Isn't this evidence of the decline of human civilization?

"In what I see of His future..."

Killed by Si'a, killed by the righteous gods and their angels, killed by the temperance faction supported by the Seven Gods, died in the doomsday, died in pollution...

"...It's already pitch black and it's a dead end."

When he began to think about Richard's ending, he suddenly thought of Adela again.

When Adela was still alive, she didn't have much prejudice against Richard's former slave status, but she didn't have much respect for him. She treated him like an ordinary person. After all, Richard was a demigod who had regained his freedom at that time. But their ideas and beliefs often conflict. The flower born in the royal family is not a weak and ignorant little white flower. What she absorbs during her growth is not dew, but the bone marrow and flesh of the people and slaves.

Two days before her death, it seemed that the hiding place of her maternal grandparents and family was discovered by Russell's soldiers.

And the one who led the soldiers to search and clean up was of course "himself".

Dark halls, empty mansions.

The sky outside the window was dark, and she fell to the ground, with the dagger stabbed into her heart. She felt the breeze blowing on her face and smelled the fragrance of flowers and blood. The burgundy skirt spread out on the ground, like a flower that had failed to bloom.

She has not yet breathed her last, with a smile on her face that makes her look extraordinarily peaceful and peaceful because she got what she wanted. Time has not dimmed her beauty even a little bit. The devil half-knelt beside him silently. He had not expected this situation and was thinking about whether to save or not.

"You don't have to...save me." Adela said softly, stopping the demon's possible actions. Blood rose from her throat, but she still had room to finish her sentence.

"I'm very happy...so no need to save me."

The devil thought for a while, but chose to ask his most curious question in the last moment: "Why did you commit suicide?"

Adela laughed, coughing up blood and laughing at the same time.

"Because I... love you like this so much!"

"So I can't tolerate loving my enemies so madly!"

Like a flashback, her jewel-like green eyes suddenly lit up, reflecting the distant candlelight in the candlestick on the wall.

She didn't know where the strength came from, raised her arm, and touched His cheek with her blood-stained fingers, leaving several long blood marks.

Her eyes were a little obsessed: "As expected of a devil..."

"Until now, I still think you...are so perfect..."

The end of this sentence fell together with the arm, like a grain of sand falling in the wind, and lost its trace in the blink of an eye.

She is dead. the devil thought. She won't talk to herself anymore.

But he didn't get the answer yet, so after a few seconds of silence, the devil slowly stood up and asked a corner of the hall:

"Why did your mother commit suicide?"

On Saturday morning, the air was chilly. The school has ended its winter vacation, but Aaliyah, who is reluctant to stay out and cannot go home, has already completed the detention procedures and is still living in an empty dormitory.

She didn't want to take the 3-penny public carriage, so she got up early and walked all the way from Backlund University City to the East District.

She used her scholarship to buy two portions of meatloaf from the canteen, eating one while walking and holding the other in her arms to take to Miss Maria.

After entering the East District from a relatively safe street, she skillfully turned a few corners, passed through alleys and residential areas, and came to a processing factory named Maria. When there were no disputes or legal matters to deal with, Maria was always at school or in the factory.

Miss Maria obtained her lawyer's license ten years ago. At that time, she used the identity of a "disciple of the Goddess of the Night" because only female believers of the Goddess of the Night could not be treated differently when looking for a job. Although the Church of Steam also supports Women go out to work, but their influence in Loen has not exceeded that of the Church of Night and Storm.

Sure enough, she found Maria in the factory, but she was too busy talking to other people to disturb her.

With Miss Maria's ability, if she continues step by step, even if it will be more difficult for women in the workplace, she should be a famous senior lawyer now...a senior lawyer with an annual salary of 800 to 1,000 pounds...Alia looked at The other party's burqa, which was stained with oil, was stunned.

A man carrying a box noticed her standing in a daze in the open space at the entrance of the factory, and took the initiative to say hello: "Alia?"

Aliya turned around quickly and saw two boxes stacked together, a pair of hands lifting the boxes, and a lower body wearing thick jeans. She didn't think about who it was for a moment, but she suddenly realized it when she recalled the voice:

"Admissor?"

bump! The two boxes were piled into the corner. Admissor shook his arms and hands and turned around: "It is indeed Alya."

Aria was suddenly curious: "You didn't even see me, how did you know it was mine?"

"This is a secret." Admissor said in a pretentious manner, then put his hands to his mouth and whispered, "This is the power of my potion."

"I also know that you are very lucky today, but I don't know what will happen specifically."

"You used to stagger when walking, but now you can lift two boxes at once. The magic potion is indeed magical." Aaliyah covered her mouth and smiled, chatting happily with her fellow villagers, and even asked with some expectation, "What if you become Extraordinary person, can I also obtain such power in the future?"

She still didn't give up her plan to join the Pilgrimage Sect, even though the people around her wanted her to live safely.

Admissor also thought so, so he paused slightly and said with some concern: "Isn't your dream to become a female teacher? Your belief on the ID card is also the goddess of the night. You will definitely be able to find a job in the future. Stable and rewarding job.”

"Public school teachers have a weekly salary of 4 pounds. With bonuses and subsidies, your annual salary is at least 200 pounds. After you have stabilized your life, you can save some money and donate it to us, or come to a charity school to provide education. Late……"

Yes, 200 pounds is enough for a single lady to live a good life. As long as she doesn't waste money, she can definitely save enough money for retirement. This is an amount that I can't even imagine... It's also been my wish since childhood, and now it's finally within reach - Aaliyah smiled sheepishly and said firmly:

"More than just money, knowledge and status, I want to have more power to help others."

"Just like the chiefs they help us."

Admissor knew that he could not change the other person's mind, so he nodded reluctantly and made a suggestion: "Actually, you don't have to be very powerful. There are also ways to be good at knowledge. You can choose to become a "reader". This It can make you smarter and master and understand knowledge faster. "

I heard from Miss Maria that the famous detective "Eisinger Stanton" seems to be an extraordinary person in this path. His rank is not too high, but this old man is very outstanding and is very likely to be someone from Backlund. The organizers of these secret gatherings, and they are suspected of not belonging to the church, which is thought-provoking... It can be seen that even mid- to low-sequence Extraordinaries can make a difference as long as they are arranged in the right place.

Is this still possible? Aliya's eyes lit up. She also had doubts about whether she could become as strong as Miss Maria. After all, she was still within the scope of an ordinary woman. The cruelest thing she had ever done was to kill chickens. fish.

She was about to ask in detail, but she saw Miss Maria sending the people she was talking to to the door. Both parties seemed to be in a good mood, and they must have successfully completed an order.

Maria sent the client away, stretched out refreshed, then looked at the two young people chatting in the corner, and said with a smile: "Aliya, you are here to ask about Admisor's return." Is it about village affairs?”

Aaliyah shook her head: "Good morning, Miss Maria, I am here to inquire about the recruitment of clerks in your foundation."

Maria understood: "You are here to help Daisy and the others with their questions, right?"

"I discussed it with others and decided on February next year, which is about two and a half months away. Daisy has been attending Sunday school for a long time. If she works hard, she should be able to work as an ordinary clerk, with a weekly salary of 1 pound and 2 soles. ."

Daisy's grades in Sunday school are considered very good, and she can serve as a tutor, but she is still far behind the requirements of a formal job... Even she needs to work extra hard, so Freya can see Come on... Alya felt a little sad, and she decided not to tell the sisters the news for the time being, lest Freya lose the motivation to study.

Just as Alya was thinking secretly, Admissor suddenly spoke and said to Maria: "Miss Maria, I will take leave next Monday to apply for identity certificate."

Maria was not surprised: "Have you decided on a last name?"

"Yes." Admissor smiled, "I decided to have a surname of 'Villiana' (Alia turned her head suddenly, her eyes widening in surprise), which is the surname of Mrs. Norma who adopted me from the Tingen workhouse. I will shoulder the responsibility of providing for her in her old age together with Aaliyah."

"Oh, in that case, we are all Mrs. Norma's children!" Aaliyah clapped her hands happily, feeling sincerely happy that she had an extra brother. "You will tell her about this when you go back this year. Well, Mrs. Norma must be very...what's wrong with you?"

Admissor, who had been talking to her normally just now, suddenly became quiet as if he was a different person. The expression on his face gradually disappeared, replaced by a feeling of emptiness and confusion as if he didn't know where he was. His dark gray eyes quickly lost their luster, and he began to stand unsteadily, swaying on his feet, as if he had turned back into the "little monster" from Tingen.

Alya had only had initial contact with the occult and didn't understand things like supernatural beings and potions. When she saw this, she thought it was a relapse of Admisor's old illness. She worriedly wanted to step forward to check, but Maria blocked her with her hand.

Maria stared at Admissor and made a "silence" gesture to Aliya.

The monster paced blankly on the spot, opening and closing its lips up and down, and uttered some incomprehensible words in sleep. When he turned in a certain direction, he suddenly raised his head, glanced at a certain part of the sky, then started shaking violently, and his expression became extremely frightened.

Maria frowned and looked in the direction where Admissor was looking, and saw the "Bell of Order" in the distance.

Backlund's symbol? What's the meaning? What disaster has something to do with the clock?

Just when Maria was thinking hard with no results, Aliya suddenly screamed softly: Admissor suddenly turned his head to look at them, his eyes were filled with red bloodshot eyes!

He stared at them, then turned around hard and glanced around at the people working in the factory. Then he walked to the door of the factory with sloppy steps, looked at the people coming and going, and suddenly screamed. , his eyes were bleeding, and he fell sideways to the ground.

Maria quickly took a step forward and stretched out her arm to catch Admissor's fallen body. I saw that the other party's breath was weak and his eyes were bleeding profusely. I didn't know if there would be any hidden dangers.

The monster's lips trembled, and he spelled out a few words with difficulty, and Maria quickly leaned in to listen——

"died……"

"……They are all……"

At this time, Aliya, who was walking quickly, knelt down next to her, wiped the blood on Admissor's face with a clean handkerchief, and looked at Maria anxiously.

Maria's scalp was numb. She entrusted Admissor to Aliya and rushed out of the factory gate without thinking. But after running a few steps in the direction of the Bell of Order, she fell into confusion again: What does this bell represent? What kind of disaster did Admissor say "they all died"? If you and others are not included in it, how can you stop it? When will disaster come? How will it come?

She knew nothing about it.

If you cannot make corresponding preparations, even if you know in advance that a disaster is coming, you will not be able to resist it when the time comes!

She was frozen in place, unable to think for a moment.

Aliya had never seen this situation before. Although she was scared, she forced herself to calmly ask: "Miss Maria, what's wrong with Admissol?"

"..." Maria barely gathered her thoughts and turned her head to look at the pale girl. He opened his mouth, and for the first time he felt that language was so powerless, "...I don't know."

"Aliya, don't come here again soon."

"Dangerous things are very likely to happen in the East District. You can stay in the school with peace of mind and don't come here again."

"Then you..." The girl's eyes widened in surprise. It was the first time she heard the other party speaking in such a serious and serious tone, and she felt nervous. "Do you want Admissor to stay too? He is already injured. "

"He wants to stay."

Maria took a deep breath and said seriously to Aliya: "He must stay, we need his strength. Aliya, you also take this opportunity to think about it. Strength comes with danger and responsibility. You We must think carefully about your future, Mrs. Norma does not want you to join."

Aaliyah was stunned, bit her lips and lowered her head.

After hearing the girl's question, Maria suddenly realized that almost no one in the city knew that a huge catastrophe was about to happen.

In the absence of a master of prophecy or a high-sequence expert who is good at divination, the monster's premonition of crisis is the most accurate.

She turned around wordlessly and stared at the people walking on the street, the people with sad faces and hopeless faces, the people who had found jobs with tired smiles, the people running through the streets laughing and playing or standing in the corner staring at other people's wallets. Children, busy women and girls, the people of the East End who are doing their best to live... Maria has long vowed to devote all her life to helping them live and live better. She will always look down on them. It's not enough, and I can't finish watching these disturbing scenes.

She looked at all this almost greedily, carving all these pictures into her mind and heart.

Tomorrow is the day for Klein to fake the corpse, but if we wait for Source Castle, it will probably be a day or two later.

There will be another update at 6:30 tonight.
