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

Chapter 471 The Purpose of Concealment

Klein fell silent again.

"Is it the same for others?"

He had gotten the answer from Ouroboros' silence.

The situations of the others might not be as dangerous as Derrick's, but they were definitely not good. If they wanted to save them, the secret ceremony alone might not be enough. They had to think of other ways... It was easy to say, but what else could they do? It was useless to pray to anyone here, otherwise he would have prayed to Pales Zoroast and given Amon from Moon City and Silver City to him as a gift box of supplements.

Stop of fate? Amon can steal the fate of others, so the angel of fate can restrict Amon to a certain extent.

But he couldn’t contact Will here (nor could he contact Will in front of Ouroboros). As for the help of the “Angel of Destiny” Ouroboros… Klein thought it would be okay to ask for information, but it would be better not to ask for help.

Ouroboros obviously has his own purpose, and Medici also said so. He is unlikely to harm the war angel, but he may not necessarily not harm me.

Klein turned to think of other ways to save people. At the same time, there seemed to be a voice in his mind saying, "Give up. Even if you save them now, they will still be parasitized by Amon when they get outside. Do you want to keep saving them?..." This was probably his rationality or divinity, which was urging him to cut off his tail and survive. He should stop thinking about the "Miracle Worker" and think about the "Planeswalker".

But - judging from the fact that "Mr. Door" was contaminated, the "Planeswalker" was most likely going to travel to outer space. Klein felt that the probability of going to outer space right now was not high, and it might even be better to gamble on the "Trojan Horse of Fate".

Now all that's left for the miracle worker to complete the ritual is to take them out. If they are truly beyond saving, why not consider... turning them into puppets and then taking them out?

This is the best way. It will be too late for Amon to rob...

Klein seemed to be in a trance and in a state of madness. He stared blankly at his holy emblem on the wall in front of him, analyzing the current situation with a perspective that was both unfamiliar and familiar to him.

Amon can let his clone believe in him as an anchor, so the same can be done for the secret doll.

The people of Silver City don’t know if they can be saved, but they still have to break into the “Giant King’s Court” and face the spiritual imprint left by the “Dark Angel” and even kill him. Rather than spending a lot of time and energy trying to find a way to save these believers, the best way is to turn them all into puppets and take them out. In this way, the lost history can be smoothly returned to the current reality, and I can also obtain a large number of “Time Worms”, which are important resources. Even if Amon uses a parasitic puppet to threaten him, it will be useless... This is the best way!

Klein's eyes gradually darkened. Suddenly, he woke up with a start, startled by his own thoughts.
What was I thinking? I was...

His heart began to beat violently, and for a moment he felt that he had become someone who despised life like Amon. Klein quickly put his hand on his chest, listening to his heartbeat that became violent due to fear, and his expression gradually became ugly.

"Is it because I don't have enough anchors? No, I'm already at Sequence 3 and have digested the potion. This is the normal effect of divinity..."

Yes, this is a normal reaction. It is the erosion of my divinity. I am about to be promoted, and it is time. Klein thought desperately.

Just then, a message came from the "Mind Link".

"Orochi should be able to use 'restart' to save people."

Medici strolled into the Creator's chapel next door, closed his eyes and prayed to the cross inside, and took the opportunity to send a message to Klein:
"Unless Amon used the power of Sefirah Castle when he parasitized the people of Silver City."

Klein's heart skipped a beat. He immediately activated his spiritual vision and scanned the dozens of Silver City residents around him. After confirming that their spiritual lines were normal and there were no traces of gray fog, he immediately denied Medici's guess: "Amon has no need to use the power of Sefirah Castle to deal with a Silver City with only saints. Moreover, I don't see the gray fog that symbolizes the power of Sefirah Castle here."

As a soul that has been in Sefirah Castle for tens of thousands of years, Zhou Mingrui's adaptability to the gray mist has been maximized.

When he was in Moon City, Klein also tried to interact with the mist seal. Although it was weak, he still got some response. This fully proved that the solid mystical connection between Klein and Sefirah Castle had not completely disappeared because of the change of ownership of Sefirah Castle.

Gray mist? Was the characteristic of Sefirah Castle the same as the seal that isolated the Western Continent? Medici naturally thought of this.

"You are the real 'fool'. If you say there is nothing, then there is nothing."

Medici thought for a moment and remained in a praying position. "Since the snake said there is nothing he can do, then either He feels that helping you is not in line with the guidance of fate, or it conflicts with His own purpose... Don't talk to Him yet. I'll go and ask what's going on."

After saying this, Medici opened his eyes, ended his prayer, and turned to walk towards Ouroboros who was standing at the door of the church.

Klein was not reassured by these words. He left his church and stood at the mushroom distribution center nearby for a while. Suddenly, he saw a person walking towards him in the distance.

In this city, everyone's activities have been suspended, so how come some people are still walking freely?

But with the two angels so close, there was no way there could be any danger here, so Klein watched the figure gradually walk towards him from the end of the street, getting taller and taller... The person who came was a tall old man with deep wrinkles on his face, and old scars on his exposed skin and fingers. He had a solemn face, capable manners, and gray hair.

Klein had seen this man before.

"You are the chief of Silver City's 'Council of Six.'" When the visitor looked at him without saying a word, Klein calmly said the other person's name, "Colin Iliad."

"By the grace of God, I have seen you in divine revelation."

Colin's eyes widened slightly, and then he understood:
"You are... the messenger of the Fool."

Consistent with the revelation given by the "Angel of Destiny" when he was promoted, the messenger of the "Fool" came here across the wilderness to retrieve the sealed objects that had been deposited there, and to enter the "Giant King's Court" with them to meet the "Dark Angel" who had been sleeping for a thousand years.

What happened next was not made clear in the revelation, but the golden sunlight behind the door proved everything.

"Yes."

"Derrick Berg is an acquaintance of mine. He should have introduced me to you."

Klein nodded slightly and looked back at Derrick in the church. He did not hide his annoyance and anger. "Before visiting Silver City, I went to Moon City first. If I had known this, I should have come to Silver City first without hesitation."

But if I came to Silver City first, would Moon City also be like this? Klein frowned.

Colin looked at him and didn't take up the subject.

"The responsibility for what happened to Silver City lies with me. As the chief, my abilities are limited and I cannot protect others."

He paused for two seconds, then said in a polite and distant tone:
"The seal that was kept for you is at the bottom of the round tower. Amon's attack did not affect the round tower. Although the unsealing of important seals requires the approval of more than one elder, this is a special situation. If you need, I can take you to get it."

"Poseidon's Scepter"? If I get this seal back, my combat power will be greatly improved - Klein was about to be happy, but then he remembered something and his expression became serious - but one of the negative effects of the "Poseidon's Scepter" is that it "drains the blood of all creatures within a certain range every half an hour"! Usually, the scepter is placed on Sefirah Castle and is suppressed by the aura of Sefirah Castle. There is no chance to show the vicious side of a Level 1 seal. But now it is different. It is separated from Sefirah Castle and must be sealed in order to be used normally.

We have received help from the Red Angel many times along the way. Don’t think about this matter for now. We can use historical projection when the time comes.

Klein made a decision and replied:
"Being not."

"I am here on behalf of the will of The Fool. Please tell me what has happened in the City of Silver during this period."

Colin looked at the envoy, took two steps forward, and whispered, "Okay."

……

"Orochi...what on earth are you hiding from me?"

Medici tried to pry the truth out of his old partner: "What do you want to do to Klein? That kid is the one whom the Lord left a will for me to protect, and he is also the second candidate for the Lord of Mysteries chosen by the Lord. Don't mess around."

Ouroboros said nothing, staring at the floor tiles beneath his feet, as if refusing to answer.

Medici sighed, found a chair and sat down behind Ouroboros, blocking the way out of the church, as if he would not leave unless he spoke.

"That guy can't hear us talking now, don't worry, I just blocked him unilaterally through the mind link."

Medici approached Ouroboros, put his hand on his shoulder, lifted him up and turned him around. He looked at the child who looked 80% like his old friend and stared at him expressionlessly. He tried to persuade him again, "You know why I came here. I'm here to help Klein complete the promotion ceremony and become a Sequence Two. What exactly do you want to do? Give me a definite answer, or I'll take him away from here and find another way. There are many lost histories in this world, not just the God-Forsaken Land."

Ouroboros still didn't speak, his eyes were a little out of focus, and his sight seemed to pass through Medici and look at the sky in the distance.

“If you really don’t want to say it, I will have no choice but to pull you into the mind link and listen to your heart.” Medici said, “Although I am only a Sequence One now, you are a veteran member of ‘War Red’. I have the authority to unilaterally allow you to join.”

Ouroboros finally looked at Medici, his eyebrows moved slightly. Just when Medici thought he might say something, Ouroboros turned his head away again, as if he had made up his mind not to speak.

"Do not ask."

The "Angel of Destiny" turned his head to face his old friend and said softly:

"This is the last resort, Medici, don't ask and don't hinder me."

"Alas... Big Snake, do you know that the guys on your path are so hesitant and secretive that it's really... unbearable, isn't it?"

Thinking about it, this was his good friend whom he had not seen for a thousand years. Medici restrained his provocative power and changed his words to be more gentle: "In the past, in the Third Epoch, those little guys in the Path of Destiny were all affected by the High Sequence and they were all the same as you. Although you can't see it now, you are still exactly the same as before, without any change."

"Medici," Ouroboros said again, "I am glad to see you again."

"It's too late to persuade you now, Big Snake." Medici waved his hand, "But I miss you too, and I'm happy too. Well, you know more about fate than I do. Since you really don't want to tell me, I can't ask any more questions - but I have a few things I must confirm. First, what are you going to do with the people in Moon City and Silver City? Are they parasitized by Amon, or do you have a way to save them?"

"Have."

Medici narrowed his eyes. "Why didn't you tell me if there was anything wrong? Didn't you see that the boy wanted to save people? Your 'restart' should be able to do that."

"Do not ask."

Medici took a deep breath and stretched out his hand to smooth out the small cross that had suddenly appeared on his forehead. If the one playing tricks in front of him was not his old comrade-in-arms but an angel that he was not very familiar with or even just familiar with, he would have probably beaten the child long ago.

"Does the method of saving people have anything to do with your purpose?"

Ouroboros nodded in affirmation.

"So what exactly do you want to do?" Medici was still unwilling to let Him go.

"..."

Seeing that he would not say anything even if beaten to death, Medici had no choice but to change the question:
“Hermes’ behavior is abnormal. He came to the Forsaken Land to contact God. Am I right? He has nothing to do with this promotion ceremony. Who guided him here? At the same time, when I first contacted you and hoped to bring Klein in, you just said yes. You didn’t refuse Hermes’ sudden joining, and you didn’t say that this place was full of dangers. You should know that these situations are not something a Sequence Three can handle, but you still hinted to Hermes to get me away from Klein…”

Medici paused for two seconds, looked into Ouroboros's icy blue eyes, and asked word by word:

"Big Snake, have you... also been bewitched by the original?"

The initial smile and ease on the War Angel's face had completely disappeared. The drama woven by the "Angel of Destiny" and the audience was too crude to deceive the most powerful conspirator. His speech became faster and faster, and he even became angry:
"Have you changed your faith? Are you ready to help Him? Are you ready to strangle Klein in the God-Forsaken Land? But if this is your goal, why don't you do it? He has been alone with Amon for a long time, you should have had ample opportunities for fate to kill him!"

"If you have hostility towards him and don't want him to get the Silver City anchor, there's no need to stop them. You're just letting Klein down. But that kid isn't letting his guard down either. He won't really pray to you or anything like that."

"Orochi, what do you want to do?"

“Medici…” Ouroboros looked at Him deeply, pronounced His name, and then shook his head with a calm expression.

"Don't ask, I can't tell you."

"Why don't you refute me?"

Medici couldn't believe it. His eyes widened for a moment, then he frowned fiercely. "Big Snake, are you really...are you really going to follow the guy who forced the Lord to death once? Why? Hermes realized that humans are weak and have little will, so he gave up struggling and chose the God of 'mercy and equality'. Why do you want to change your beliefs? Have you forgotten why the 'Redemption Rose' was established?"

“I have not forgotten,” He said, “but I must make a choice.”

Medici was about to ask, "What is the choice?", when he suddenly saw a giant silver-white snake connected head to tail in the pair of blue eyes that met his. His consciousness suddenly became blurred, and the ring of the silver-white giant snake turned. A shadow of himself appeared on Medici's body. The shadow quickly said everything he had just said in reverse, then backed up, stood in front of the cross, and began to pray. Then, the shadow gradually became real, and everything returned to the time before these conversations began, and the questions he was about to ask were thrown out of his mind.

Ouroboros had already stood on the ground, standing there as if nothing had happened, and retreated outside the church.

"You are the head of the 'Council of Six', Colin Iliad..."

Klein was talking to the tall half-giant who had walked up to him. Before he finished speaking, he suddenly felt something strange and vaguely familiar, as if such a conversation had happened before.

But he didn't think much about it and just read out the conversation that had already happened once again. It wasn't until Colin finished telling everything that had happened during this period that Klein felt that strange sense of familiarity disappeared.

At this time, Ouroboros had quietly come to his side.

"The way out is through the Giant King's Court."

He raised his head and looked at Klein calmly.

"Now that you are here, when will you start the action?"
