Secret: The years I served as a foreign aid for the Aurora Club

Chapter 357 This is the Answer

A gust of bloody wind suddenly rushed into a dilapidated house in the East District, leaving behind a bat incarnation when it left.

About ten minutes later, the Punisher and the Senior Deacon caught up. The former kicked open the door of the broken house and almost broke down the mud wall. A bolt of lightning smashed the little bat incarnation hidden in the corner to pieces. The Senior Deacon glanced around the room, then looked at the faint red moonlight flashing in the distance and shook his head.

"We can't catch up. The blood clan viscount moves too fast. As long as he is willing to waste his spiritual energy and teleport frequently, we will never be able to catch up."

He pulled up his collar and said thoughtfully:

"However, the intelligence on the vampires has also been updated. We now know that they can create a full moon environment, and all their abilities will be greatly enhanced in this environment. After this mission of killing the chicken to scare the monkey is completed, the number of cultists in Backlund should be much reduced. We just need to wait for the next order from the church."

The Mandated Punisher snorted in dissatisfaction, very unhappy about the failure of this mission.

“Well, it’s not a complete failure! At least the cultists who believed in the earth are gone. With this warning, there will be fewer people trafficking people across borders and sneaking across the sea in the name of Feynapotter and the Church of Mother Earth!” He said angrily, “We brought so many people out, but in the end, the most important Sequence 5 got away! I think we’ll have to stay in the confessional when we go back!”

The senior deacon looks at the nose with his eyes and the heart with his nose with his nose, and lets the other party's words go in one ear and out the other.

At this moment, we really have no choice but to give up the mission.

They reached an agreement, and soon the wind started to blow again, wrapping the two of them up and carrying them away from the East District.

Emlyn was completely unaware that the two pursuers had already left. He ran deep into the East District like the wind, carrying the red moonlight. He was forced to stop only after he felt dizzy. With his only remaining rationality and calmness, he gritted his teeth and landed on the ground as steadily as possible, habitually maintaining the image of a vampire, and then walked into an empty house.

"Tell me..."

He closed the door, then sat down as if he had used up all his strength.

In front of me was a table with missing legs, and the window in front of the table was missing its glass, so I could see the cloudy sky when I sat at the table.

"Whether it's the First Ancestor or the Mother Goddess, can you at least give me some enlightenment?!"

Emlyn gathered his clothes, mumbling to himself with a sense of collapse and panic that he himself was not aware of. He used his fingers to trace the holy emblem of the Mother Earth on the thick and even layer of dust on the table, then raised his head and looked at the sky, hoping that something would appear, even if it was to let him die like Utravsky did - at least, at least not let him live like this.

"Tell me, tell me why I was chosen!"

He roared at the holy symbol with some sobs: "Why me! Why me!"

Since you mentioned me in the revelation given to Lord Nibais, and since you hinted that I should pray to the "Fool" to find a direction for the vampires in the changing times, then why are you unwilling to say a few more words? Why are you unwilling to tell me why I was chosen, and how should I, the "savior", save the world?

Is it simply because my prayer to the Fool was answered?

"Mother Goddess, O First Ancestor, please at least tell me what I should do! Please at least tell me why you sacrificed him so that I could live!"

Why did you choose me? What should the “savior” do? Respected ancestor, what should I do? Loving mother goddess, why did you keep my life? What was the purpose of sacrificing Utravsky?
His voice grew louder and louder, until it turned into a full-blown roar, but there was no response except the wind blowing in through the hole.

After a moment, Emlyn suddenly realized the inappropriateness of his behavior - as a believer, as a family member, and having just been saved by God's revelation, how could he be so rude and arrogant and act on impulse towards the gods?
"sorry Sorry……"

Emlyn suddenly felt even more panicky than before, as if he was caught by his mother after getting into trouble as a child. He immediately reached out and wiped off the holy emblem of the Mother Goddess on the table, then wiped the corners of his eyes vigorously and lowered his head deeply, as if he was admitting his mistake to someone invisible.

"I was wrong. Praise you, my loving mother. Praise you, my ancestor. I beg for your forgiveness. I was not... "

"…I am not…"

What are you doing? What are you doing so rebelliously? His voice dropped again, and the back of his hand once again brushed across the corner of his eyes:
"I just……"

He whimpered softly a few times but said nothing.

……

Backlund, the lounge of Saint Samuel Cathedral.

"I was wrong!" Leonard said bitterly.

Soest, who was sitting across the table from Leonard, looked at him with a somewhat speechless and somewhat disgusted look. Leonard was sincere and had a painful expression. While listening to Pales' instructions in his head, he quietly bit his cheek and squeezed out a few tears in pain:
"I'm sorry, Captain! I shouldn't have been distracted so often during the mission! I am willing to accept the punishment!"

"Too exaggerated."

The Red Gloves members who were eavesdropping outside the door couldn't bear to watch and moved away from the door. Even Pales said disgustedly in his mind.

"…Okay, okay, I just want to talk to you privately."

Soest was in a dilemma. Looking at Leonard's sincere and sad expression, he frowned and sighed, and then he slowed down his tone a little: "That's not what I want to ask, Leonard. Tell me honestly, do you have any personal relationship with the two priests of the Harvest Church?"

Leonard didn't hesitate and readily admitted: "Yes."

The fact that Soest chose to talk to me in private was already very clear about his attitude. If I still hesitated, then my next confession would be in front of the senior deacon or Bishop Elektra.

Soest asked the spirit to pour him a glass of water:

"There are not many missions in our team that take place in the area where the Harvest Church is located. I'm not trying to pry into your privacy, but when did you get to know the two people from the Harvest Church? You didn't make any big mistakes in today's mission, but your performance was definitely not good. If you make a wrong choice due to irrationality, it might drag down all of us - so you must give me an explanation."

"I……"

Leonard thought for a while, sighed, and said softly:

"The target of the mission, Emlyn White, has helped me several times. He can barely be considered my friend. Bishop Utravsky is also a kind and generous man. He often takes the initiative to help the poor around him. I have a very good impression of them."

Soest put down the water cup in his hand and said in a serious tone:
"Leonard, I must remind you that if you have a similar relationship in the future, you should explain it before the mission and apply for recusation. Look at how you were during the mission, absent-minded and negligent. Were you trying to intentionally create a loophole? Give your friends a chance to leave? You were irresponsible to your teammates during the battle! Such an attitude will not save your friends, but will put your other companions in danger!" "What if they attack us? Are you going to hesitate on the side? Could it be that in your heart, we, the Red Gloves team members who eat and live together and go through life and death together, are not as good as Emlyn White and the bishop?"

"No, Captain Soest!"

Leonard's voice immediately became louder as he said this harshly. Soster snapped his fingers and the spirit sealed off the interior and exterior of the house:

"I definitely didn't think of it that way!"

"So what are you like, Leonard Mitchell?"

"me……"

Leonard calmed down during the questioning. He sat up slowly and spoke slowly: "I'm sorry, Captain Soest, I was a little distracted just now. I personally think that neither Emlyn White nor Utravsky are dangerous elements who need to be eliminated."

Soest said nothing, but nodded imperceptibly.

This attitude made Leonard feel a little relieved. He found his feeling, spoke more confidently, and his voice became stronger:
“Although Emlyn White is a vampire, he has a medical license obtained through formal means, and there have been no unnatural deaths in the area where he lives... Utravsky is a kind person... The Harvest Church and the people who believe in the Mother Earth in the surrounding area have never affected the lives of others, nor have they engaged in malicious missionary activities that disregard the wishes of others... I personally think that they are friendly church members and friendly Beyonders, and they should not be treated as a cult, not to mention that they are still protecting the people.”

Soest listened to Leonard's answer and said, "So, I understand that you are actually dissatisfied with the church's actions?"

The latter was stunned, hesitant to speak, not knowing whether to nod or shake his head.

"Leonard, you have to know that this is a special period." Soest shook his head and gestured to the other party to calm down and listen carefully. "If that was a church of the Church of the God of War, would you still be as nervous as you are now?"

"The Church of the God of War?"

Leonard shook his head hesitantly while wondering, "We can't just kill them all just because they are hostile, right? I think we should at least see if they have done anything bad in our territory..."

"Your idea is correct, but you still don't realize that these are special times."

Soest said calmly, "Then let me tell you, there have been people active in the border area since last week. They have been selling cheap, low-quality food in the name of the Church of Mother Earth to disrupt the market. Some people also claimed that the people of Feynaport don't have to worry about food and that wheat can grow as tall as a person. They deceived many civilians. According to incomplete statistics, the number of missing people has reached nearly 10,000."

"Even some of our church members have secretly left. These speculators were unable to maintain their faith in the face of danger, which caused a very bad impact."

"But this..."

"Feynepott has declared war on the Kingdom of Loen. The Church of the Mother Earth has no right to preach in Loen. After the Steam Church withdrew, it was not recognized. Now it is a cult in the country. It has nothing to do with whether the people in it are good people." There was a knock on the door. A member of the Red Gloves notified Soest to report the situation, so he stood up and said, "Leonard, I know you are a young man with a strong sense of justice, but there is nothing we can do about this matter. We can only protect ourselves and our companions."

Soster patted Leonard on the shoulder, turned around and left, pushing the door open:
"If you want to take a break, I can approve this vacation for you. You need to think carefully and adjust your mentality."

"team leader……"

Leonard stood there, subconsciously wanting to say something, but in the end he just clicked his tongue heavily and clenched his fists.

"Old man, old man." He sat back on the sofa and asked quietly while drinking water, "Are they okay?"

Then, the expression on his face froze, and he slowly put the cup back on the table. Leonard was silent. He wanted to order some stars, but after thinking about it, he made a somewhat unfamiliar gesture of holding a baby and whispered:

“May he rest in peace in the Kingdom of God.”

"What are these things?"

Medici cut off Chik's snake hair and tore off the leaf that was stuck on his eyes. Only then did he see the world in front of him gradually become clear again. This strange green leaf reduced all his perceptions the moment it appeared, and even directly deprived him of his vision.

"The magic of the hidden sage? Mysterious reappearance or something else? I've never heard of it before."

Medici was about to burn the leaf when he saw a strange little insect suddenly appear in front of the leaf. Its two transparent membrane wings vibrated and it made a very special chirping sound.

Medici frowned, then suddenly drew his sword and slashed behind him.

The God of Steam and Machinery under his feet was a beat slower than him, but still reacted as quickly as possible, opened his shoulder armor, turned the muzzle of the gun, and blasted a beam of light to the rear.

Medici's flaming sword launched a destructive storm from behind, and the raging flames forced back the spider silk that the witch wanted to attack. Unfortunately, a meteorite with flames deflected the muzzle a little, and the light cannon failed to hit Chike's body directly, but just passed by him, analyzing everything along the way into elementary particles.

His serpentine hair turned into a feminine force and disappeared, staining a small area of ​​the astral plane a strange black color.

Chick suddenly appeared behind me? What kind of magic was this? Medici clenched his palm and burned the green leaf and the cicada into ashes. The ashes then turned into some strange block characters and dissipated in the air, and were taken back by the Hidden Sage.

The Hidden Sage wandered in the astral realm in the form of a data torrent, wandering around them. He did not have a strong desire to attack, but he also had an intention of wearing them out here and then picking up the leaks.

"Are you done?" Medici stepped on the metal block under his feet.

"Output value adjustment completed."

The God of Steam and Machinery replied: "The Red Angel has been completely bound to the Third Epoch data. The authority will begin to operate in twelve seconds. The success rate of the Red Angel covering the data of the Original Witch is 30%."

"Oh? There's still 30% left. That's so high?"

Medici smiled happily: "Then hurry up and do it! If you don't do it now, it will be too late if those two idiots die!"
