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

"Why don't you speak?"

The Outer Gods' eyes swept across the faces of the Amons who were talking secretly, expressing sincere curiosity: "Weren't you very happy just now? Tell me, let me hear how you plan to defraud Klein."

The Amons were silent as if they had collectively pressed the mute button, and even their facial expressions did not change as if they were paused.

"Stop calling out to your true self in your heart."

The Outer God pinched his right eye socket and adjusted the position of the monocle made of animal bones. "Your prayers here will not be heard by Amon himself, so don't waste your energy. You can't run away anyway, so why not just tell me what you think?"

The female resident opened her mouth: "Why should we tell you?"

"Because you have no other choice now." He showed a nasty smile that he had just learned from the Amons, "Isn't it?"

"who are you?"

Another Amon asked in a low voice: "There were no mythical creatures like you in the East Continent. Where did you come from?"

Often quickly shifting attention also means that it is easy to lose interest in the things in front of him. Through these few words exchanged with Amon, He felt that his patience was quickly running out:

"Why should I tell you?"

The Amons fell silent again. They exchanged glances with each other. After a moment, the Moon City resident with a tumor on his neck suddenly narrowed his eyes slightly, then looked around with a confused expression:
"What are you doing?"

"Hey, why didn't the messenger continue to tell his story... When did it end? Did I fall asleep?"

Perhaps his memory had been modified, or perhaps Amon, who had parasitized him, was acting. He scratched his hair in annoyance, as if he felt that it was very rude not to be serious or even to not listen in front of the messenger of God who had come specially to save him and others.

This sentence was like a signal, and the Amons collectively gave up the adventure. These parasitized people "recovered to normal" one after another. They looked at each other in confusion, not understanding why they were in a daze for a short while at the same time, and they had no impression of the words of the messenger just now.

"Pretending not to hear has no effect on me."

"Do you think I care about these people, or this city?"

The Outer God took away the monocle in his hand, placed it in the palm of his hand, and looked at these people with a little pity and dissatisfaction in his eyes.

"You shouldn't do this."

He looked at the people of Moon City who were parasitized but still looked the same as usual, and felt that they were similar to his body, which looked normal but actually had no internal organs. He felt a little disgusted. He didn't want to admire their acting skills, so he turned his attention back to Klein and ignored Amon, who had lost his interest:

"It's also very easy to get my help, because I'm happy to participate in anything that I find interesting... I've always been very rebellious, and if you tell me the truth, maybe I'll be interested and help you."

The residents of Moon City looked at each other in confusion, not knowing what this man was talking about.

At the same time, they felt that they seemed to vaguely know this person, just like other residents who they might meet by chance on the road or during missions but have never spoken to. They couldn't remember the name, but they were sure that such a person did exist and had lived in Yuecheng - although there were not many people in Yuecheng, it did not mean that everyone was familiar with the ten thousand people other than themselves.

Even though the nine people had gathered and talked before setting off, and now there was this inexplicable tenth person, they were deceived by their own memories and firmly believed that this person was their fellow travelers.

The memory of living beings is always so easily manipulated, but they can only use their own memory as the standard for judging things... The God of Possibility still blocked this small area near the campfire, depriving these clones of the "possibility" of passing on the message, and gave a polite smile to the residents.

The people of Yuecheng also nodded or smiled at this unfamiliar resident, but they all felt that their facial muscles seemed to be out of their control and their smiles were very forced.

They quickly put this little episode behind them.

Nim noticed the small commotion here, but when he turned around, everything was over. So he turned back and looked at Gehrman Sparrow, who had an indifferent expression, and said with unusual sincerity:

"Sir, in addition to this, we would also like to listen to Mr. Fool's teachings."

I haven't had time to write this yet... However, as I get closer and closer to the angel level, the corresponding things should be put on the agenda... The anchor must be prepared in advance... Klein's thoughts raced, and he remembered the words he used to fool, no, to transform the "Sea God" believers.

His expression quickly became solemn. He raised his right hand, reached into the air, and took out a rough stone cross.

The Lord of Withering, who had been staring at the sun in the sky in a daze, suddenly widened his eyes.

Under His shocked gaze, Klein reached out and grabbed the cross with "God" written on it from top to bottom. He input a large amount of spirituality into it, and saw the light inside the cross burst out, so bright that it seemed to be composed of the purest light.

“God said…” Klein opened his mouth and spoke in a low voice, while raising the Glorious Cross in his hand much higher.

Warm, bright, and clear light surged out like a tide, instantly filling the surrounding area.

The Outer God couldn't hold back any longer, and his facial expressions, which were not as good as Edward's, began to break down. This cross made him feel a subtle sense of "seeing the cross is like seeing God" - no, no, if it was somewhere else, he wouldn't feel cramped, he was not God's subordinate, and he wouldn't regard every cross as a symbol of God's majesty. But this is the East Continent, the East Continent where the Chaos Sea is located, and the sun is hanging in the sky! The sun is looking at you! - How can you, a little cunt, step on God and use the cross to promote yourself to others!

The last time I saw this kind of missionary method was in the Bible!
When Klein raised his eyes, he happened to meet the eyes of an Outer God who had a look on his face that said, “This is the first time I’ve seen this.”

Amid all the expressions of reverence, yearning, and awe, this horrified and slightly distorted expression was so eye-catching that Klein was so embarrassed that goose bumps stood up all over his body.

There must be something wrong when things are abnormal, which made him more convinced that the guy who suddenly appeared in front of him was very suspicious!
Just as he was thinking this, he saw the expression on the other's face quickly calm down, and he looked away, as if nothing had happened - the Lord of Withering was forced to calm down, because Edward had just scolded him in the shared mind not to stuff his thoughts with nonsense and emotional information, which took up his thinking space.

The pent-up darkness and discomfort in Nim and the others began to dissipate rapidly, and their bodies and minds seemed to be purified.

The messenger who came to save them took out the symbol of the Creator, and the warm light in his hand was like the day when the sun rose. They were a little dazed, and only heard the messenger holding the glorious cross and covered in sacred colors solemnly say:
“God said…

“The first commandment: No living sacrifice, no human sacrifice.

“Second Commandment: Thou shalt not take my name in vain.”

The Outer God gritted his teeth and wanted to laugh, but he had almost given up thinking.

He began to appreciate Klein's behavior with a peaceful attitude, appreciate the interpersonal relationships between the pillars, and was curious about what else he could do.

……

Backlund, West District, in Audra's villa.

Today was a cloudy day, which was a relatively suitable climate for the vampires. In the afternoon, Emlyn White knocked on the door of the villa again and met Cassimy Odra, a middle-aged gentleman-looking vampire baron.

"What did Lord Nibais say?" Emlyn controlled his emotions and tried not to appear so impatient and frivolous.

Casimi looked at Emlyn's bright red eyes and said:
"He just asked me to tell you that the entire blood clan does not have any extra earl's extraordinary characteristics. We can only wait for one of the existing earls to die due to old age or accident and leave behind an inheritance."

Compared to humans, vampires have a long lifespan. Even without a title, ordinary members can live about 300 years old. In this case, they can accumulate little by little, filling up every level and not leaving too many extraordinary characteristics unfilled.

Therefore, it is not easy for an ordinary member to be promoted to baron, or for a baron to become a viscount. One must either wait for the existing member to pass away, or obtain it from the outside, or make enough contributions to receive the precious gift.

Compared with the first two levels, it is more difficult for a viscount to become an earl, because a blood count is already a demigod and can easily live for more than a thousand years. Those viscounts have to wait for generations for a earl to pass away.

Because of this, as soon as a Count's trait becomes vacant, it will be allocated immediately instead of being put into the "warehouse".

If the characteristics of baron and viscount still exist in the vampire treasury in the form of extraordinary materials and seals to a certain extent, but in small quantities and the granting of each one must be very strict, then there is really no room for the characteristics of earl.

This answer was what Emlyn expected. He looked at Baron Cassimir and nodded slightly.
"So, if any earl dies, it will be my turn?"

"No." Casimi shook his head. "Although you have accumulated a lot of merits, your ranking is not yet number one."

"What place am I in?" Emlyn frowned slightly at first, then relaxed.

Casimi coughed, cleared his throat and said:

"The fifth one."

"This is the result of your recent hard work. You should have been ranked twelfth. You have to thank Lord Nibais for this."

...The fifth? Even if this is a change of titles among humans, I have to wait at least several decades, and it may not be my turn until the end of the world... Since the ancestor gave me the important task of saving the tribe, why didn't you arrange these things? My "Crimson Scholar" potion has been digested for several months... Is this another test? Emlyn complained in his heart, and was silent for a few seconds, then asked thoughtfully: "If I get the earl's characteristics from somewhere else, will the tribe help me prepare the ceremony?"

Casimi exhaled and said:

"of course."

Emlyn was about to turn around and leave, but before he could take a step, Casimi called him back again.

"Emlyn, why are you so anxious?"

Casimi considered himself to be a friend of Emlyn, so he asked the doubts that had been buried in his heart for a long time: "If you want to gain status, you should know that we will accumulate wealth and connections while accumulating strength... In addition, you should know that we do not support you to take revenge on the church. Even Lord Nibais would not want to see you do so."

Emlyn was stunned for a moment, then he laughed:

"In your hearts, am I a brainless vampire who will seek revenge against the two major churches?"

I would like to... He thought in his heart with some gloom and anger, why can't I? Because I have the destiny to be the savior of the blood race, I can't do such a thing as hitting a stone with an egg! If only things were that simple!

"I did not mean that."

Kasimir felt that he had revealed Emlyn's scars, and his attitude softened a bit. But remembering the request of his ancestors and for Emlyn's sake, he said, "We have not rejected your idea, nor have we ever punished you for your conversion... Moreover, you have been actively arresting members of the 'Original Moon' during this period, and have also investigated some cases of smuggling and trafficking people disguised as the 'Church of Mother Earth'. You have proven your ability, Emlyn, but I don't understand why you are so anxious."

"You became a Viscount this year, but you want to become an Earl so quickly... If it's not for revenge, I can't think of any other reason."

Emlyn blinked, and a bitter sense of pride suddenly rose in his heart.

As usual, he puffed out his chest, showed a confident smile, and joked to Casimi: "Hasn't Lord Nibais's summons to me made you realize something?"

"Of course it's because I'm the chosen vampire!"

Now it was Casimi's turn to be shocked. He clearly remembered that he had specifically asked before, "Was Emlyn White really mentioned by the First Ancestor?", and Lord Nibais's answer was that he had not mentioned him at all. It was just because Emlyn wanted to pray to the "Fool" at that time, and the First Ancestor asked to establish some connection with the "Fool", so He went with the flow. Anyway, there were many little vampires like that.

And Emlyn actually contacted The Fool and was not yet corrupted. In many subsequent events, he became more and more successful, proving his ability. He believed in the lies made up by Nibais, and of course others would not expose it.

"you……"

Casimi opened his mouth, but in the end he could only smile bitterly and sigh: "So that's how it is?"

"Yes, that's it."

The expression of the Blood Clan Savior was much more vivid. When he talked about being chosen, he was even beaming with joy: "Wish me good luck!"

Casimi said goodbye with mixed feelings. Emlyn did not stay any longer and left Odra's villa, taking a carriage back to his current residence - a secluded small villa in the East District, where there were all kinds of people and a large flow of people, and the church would not take the effort to investigate.

He is now a fugitive cultist of the Church of Mother Earth, a wanted criminal, and he almost implicated his own parents.

That small house was considered excellent in the East District, but it was just barely tolerable for Emlyn... But he had a lot of things to do right now, and vampires didn't need much sleep, so he could only rest at home a few times, so he had no complaints.

In the East District, he got in touch with "Trial", which had been active there for many years, and began an occasional collaboration with them.

He had never been to Harvest Church again since that incident.

I just heard from "Star" and "Judgment" that the place was closed for a period of time and then reopened, and all things related to faith were taken away. Later, the seal was torn off, the door was smashed, and many things were stolen, and it became a place for homeless people to live.

“Where can I get the earl characteristics…” Emlyn felt that he was already behind and might not be able to take on the responsibility of saving the tribe. While looking at the deserted streets, he seriously considered every possibility.

He quickly came up with some ideas:
"Ms. Hermit mentioned that the Aurora Society's Dark Saint had released a Witch King into the wild. This corresponds to the Earl's characteristics. If we can hunt down this demigod of the Shepherd path, then the problem will be solved..."

"But, this 'Dark Saint' was also chased and surrounded by the church like me. Later, there was no news about him. I don't know whether he escaped or turned into a sealed object and settled in these two churches..."

"There is also the possibility of directly attracting the Angel King..."

Ever since the True Creator occupied Intis, everyone has discussed this matter at the Tarot Club, and concluded that they should avoid the Aurora Club in the future and try not to provoke it again.

Apart from the Dark Saint who had the Sequence 4 Witch King trait, Emlyn White could only think of one other place:
"Rose School!"

Whether it is the artificial vampires of the School of Life or the "Original Moon" worshippers that originally existed in the southern continent, they now belong to the School of Rose.

Of course, there are definitely some guys who pursue freedom and have not joined any organization yet, but either their sequence is not high or there is not enough intelligence leaked out.

When Emlyn thought of the Rose School, he immediately remembered someone:

Maric!
Maric represents the temperance faction of the Rose School, which is a force that resists the "Mother Tree of Desire".

"But Maric and Sharon are also missing. They were probably discovered and captured by the powerful men of the Indulgence Faction. There is no trace of mysticism left behind..." Emlyn bit his back teeth slightly. "Is there no other way?"

……

The mission is over.

The people of Moon City have been completely captured by the Fool. They keep recalling the words of the Messenger of God in their minds and mouths. The seeds of faith that were originally planted in their hearts out of gratitude are quietly growing at this moment.

"You guys go back."

Klein told the high priest that he had completed today's mission and planned to go to the place where the "God of Wishes" had appeared.

Maybe there are some things related to his "time travel" hidden there.

Nim stood up and told the location. Then he asked with concern, "Your Excellency, do you need us to accompany you?"

“No need.” As the degree of danger was unknown, Klein rejected the other party outright.

Nim did not force it. He led the people of Moon City to stand up, bowed to Klein one by one and said goodbye. Then they lined up in a line as they had when they came, holding lanterns and returning to the direction of Moon City.

Klein counted and found that there were only nine people in the team.

Alarm bells immediately rang in his heart, and he quickly checked his body. He found that he had no signs of being parasitized, but he did not dare to be careless. Klein immediately turned on his spiritual vision to observe the surroundings, and then he found that there was a spiritual thread floating not far in front of him.

Klein breathed a sigh of relief at first, then frowned again.

This thread with the spirit body looked indescribably strange, as if it had been broken and then connected.

"Come out." He said in a low voice, "I found you."

“I didn’t hide on purpose.” He simply raised his hands in a gesture of surrender, then gently put them down. “I also want to go over and take a look, but I want to know what kind of changes will occur if you go there. Can I go with you?”

Klein frowned: "Why?"

"Do you need a reason for this? ...Because I'm curious?"

“Stop pretending.” Klein moved his fingers, and the strange spirit thread began to float in his direction. He whispered, “You’ve been deceiving me since you appeared. Just now, you deliberately showed a strange expression and exposed the other clones... Amon, you didn’t let the most powerful clone in Moon City parasitize me, but instead let the strangest one come. You want me to let my guard down. What exactly do you want to do?”

"……what?"
