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

Chapter 578: Destiny is about to converge
886
The first Tarot meeting after Mr. Fool’s return ended in an unexpected and heavy atmosphere.

Everyone's consciousness returned to reality.

In the captain's room of the "Future", Cattleya pushed the heavy glasses on her nose and thought about the issue of faith. She thought of one thing. In the teachings of the Mystery Church and the mouths of the Ascetic angels who had received the appearance of the gods, the God of Mystery was also hostile to the Creator Church next door, but He did not restrict the exchange of information and knowledge between the churches, so many people did not realize this.

During this process, she strolled to the window and saw Frank Lee selling the crew the non-alcoholic volcanic beer he brewed using underwater microorganisms.

Really proactive... Cattleya just sighed and suddenly frowned.

"At the Tarot Club just now, Mr. Fool said that the Cultivator and the Moon are two special paths. They come from the starry sky and are easily contaminated. I don't know whether it is true or false. It's a divine revelation."

"Frank is an extraordinary person in the path of the cultivator..."

"Moreover, he once complained that the Church of the Earth failed to understand the true will of the merciful Mother..." Cattleya's eyes, which were blocked by thick lenses, narrowed slightly.

After looking at the deck below for a while, Cattleya left the captain's room and walked to the cabin entrance, where she waited for Frank Lee to come in with a bucket of non-alcoholic beer.

"Captain, would you like a drink?" Frank raised the big barrel of beer with one hand.

Cattleya shook her head firmly and asked as if she was just chatting:
"Is this the will of the merciful mother?"

"No." Frank said seriously, "I just think that drinking strong liquor with modified sedatives for a long time is still a bit bad for the body. I hope they can accept this kind of drink that tastes like alcohol but is actually alcohol-free. Of course, this is just a preliminary result and does not involve strong liquor. After all, it cannot use distillation to improve the taste."

"Well, part of the inspiration came from the City of Silver. They live in dangerous areas with scarce resources all year round. They can't drink alcohol and must always stay rational. There is no food to make wine. I wonder if they might be willing to try the feeling of indulgence occasionally?"

Cattleya didn't know what to say next. She felt that Frank seemed to have become smarter. It was also possible that he had learned more tricks after discovering that he had a very high reputation in Silver City and Moon City. He used a tone that he didn't know where he learned it from to say "defrauding research funds and project establishment."

She pushed up the heavy glasses on her nose and was silent for two seconds before she said, "Have you ever heard the voice of the merciful mother and received divine revelation?"

"No." Frank shook his head nonchalantly.

Huh... Cattleya secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, Frank added casually:
“In fact, the will of the merciful Mother can be felt in the ears of wheat, in the milk produced by cows, in the growth of mushrooms, and in every corner and every thing in nature. We can feel it without divine revelation.”

Cattleya's gaze instantly turned to Frank's eyes, and she did not find any madness in them, only purity.

She said nothing more, nodded slightly, walked forward, passed Frank Lee, and came to the deck.

After concentrating on looking at the seascape for several minutes, Cattleya returned to the captain's room.

She sat down and roughly estimated the itinerary. In a few hours, the "Future" would enter the church's exclusive port in Jianhai. After handing over to the port personnel, her mission this time would be completed.

When Cattleya was assigned to pick up the people from the East Continent, she was preparing a paper on ritual magic. She hadn't prepared any materials or equipment, and suddenly had to go out to sea. But by chance, another project team in the church related to long-distance ships thought this was an opportunity to test the new power system they had developed, so as to avoid delaying the application to the church for testing.

Cattleya herself certainly would not refuse the opportunity to change equipment. Therefore, in order to get the "make-up lessons" from the gods on Sunday, the craftsmen who slept an average of 4 hours a day upgraded the "Future" as a whole in a very short time before departure.

This is why there are all kinds of "high-tech" inventions that have amazed Silver City, the "Hanged Man" and the "Sun".

The improved power system performed well in the first trial voyage. It was not only stable and efficient, but also directly reduced the sailing time by half. According to the speed of the church, as long as it is successfully approved and put into production, Intis will once again become a country with the most advanced navigation technology, just like it did more than 200 years ago... Although it is not as powerful as the God of Thunder, this is a technology that ordinary people can master through learning.

Cattleya was proud of it and felt that knowledge is power.

"And the matter of Frank..."

The information she had obtained from the Tarot Club had not yet been made public in the church. After thinking about it, Cattleya carefully closed the door of the captain's room, held a prayer ceremony using the existing ritual materials, and decided to tell the "Fool" about Frank.

Considering that both The World and The Hanged Man had seen this crew member of theirs, and that The World also had material cooperation with the God-Forsaken Land, Cattleya assumed that The Fool also knew Frank Lee’s basic information, and simply said:

"My crew member Frank Lee became a Druid of Sequence 5 of the Cultivator Path not long ago... He claims that he has not received divine revelation, but believes that the will of the benevolent mother is hidden in every part of nature."

Since it was Mr. Fool who told her this information, Cattleya believed that just this one sentence would make the other party understand what she wanted to say.

"After returning home, should I go to the church to look for information about the 'Moon'?... Forget it. What I can find in the church is safe and well-known. The real secrets can only be accessed after I become an angel, but that is too far away..."

Cattleya sat down silently in her seat, waiting for the "Future" to enter the sea from the strait.

……

Emlyn woke up in a small room in the Harvest Church. After lying on the bed for a few seconds, he keenly heard a sound outside.

Not inside the church, but outside, it seemed that someone was arguing and fighting.

What happened... Although the noise did not come from the church, Emlyn still frowned. He sat up from the bed and walked to the door of the room. After listening carefully to the movement inside the church, he pushed the door open and entered the corridor.

All at once, Emlyn smelled human blood.

"Anyone got hurt? No, no one is stupid enough to cause trouble around a church with demigods and Beyonders. Someone got hurt and came to my church?"

The vampires did not have a strong sense of territory, but the Harvest Church had a special meaning to Emlyn. In a sense, he had already divided the rebuilt church into his own territory.

Emlyn frowned, quickened his pace, and immediately entered the main hall from the back of the church.

His eyes widened when he saw what was happening in the church hall.

There were many injured people lying on the open space and prayer benches in the Harvest Church. Some people had obvious blade marks or even gunshot wounds on their shoulders. The bloody smell he smelled came from there. Meanwhile, his assistants were busy changing the dressings for one person, bandaging another, and even taking some time out of their busy schedule to boil medicine for calming nerves and recovery.

"What's going on around here?"

Emlyn suddenly realized something, walked quickly to the assistant, and took the long-handled spoon from his hand.

"Bishop, during your nap time, a large-scale fight broke out in the East District."

It was obviously a cold December, but the Harvest Church seemed warm because there were so many people. The assistant wiped the sweat from his head and whispered, "I heard that someone seemed to have attacked the police... I don't know the details, anyway, the injured Feynapot people came to the Harvest Church for help, so I let them come and rest."

The assistant is also a Feynapote, and his family has always been believers in the Mother Earth.

Seeing that the situation in the church was relatively stable and everyone was just talking quietly or resting, Emlyn calmed down a little. After praising his assistant, he looked at the prayer bench. In addition to the injured sitting there, there were a few people from Loen who seemed to be praying - they could easily be identified as residents of the two countries from their clothes and appearance - they sat awkwardly close together at the other end of the bench, and would immediately look away if they made eye contact with the Feynapotter, and the same was true for the latter. Both sides showed varying degrees of disgust and impatience on their faces.

"You did the right thing." Emlyn's gaze lingered on the Loen believer for a while, and then he whispered to his assistant:

"Leave this to you first. I'm going to go out for a while."

The assistant nodded: "Okay."

……

Above the gray fog, only The Fool and The World are left, facing each other from afar.

Klein sighed with a little fatigue and switched places with the "world". He ensured that when he calmed down and participated in the performance of "Utopia", those who prayed to him would still see a relatively normal image of a god.

——Long before he became a "miracle worker", when the "Giant King's Court" was forced to face God, he had released the spirit of "Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun" more than once and tried to actively awaken the other party.

His actions, which were almost designed to kill himself, probably greatly accelerated the awakening of the Lord of Mysteries, and Antigonus's desperate gamble completely awakened him... and this series of dangerous actions also caused his own mythical creature form to mutate. His Sequence 3 form should have been incomplete, but it was already almost complete, and the body surface information imprint that only Sequence 2 would appear.

Now that I am an angel, if I get too immersed in a "large-scale multi-person dramatic performance" and accidentally reveal the form of a mythical creature, the person praying to me might really see information that they shouldn't see...

Klein was sad about the departure of Justice Audrey, but just like his own decision, he would not interfere with her choice.

He calmed himself down and put the matter behind him for the time being. Just as he was about to close his eyes and get into the state, he suddenly heard a prayer in his ears.

I just finished the Tarot meeting, and Ms. Hermit prayed to me... What could it be? Ms. Hermit has already left the island where the people of Silver City temporarily live. Could it be... Klein pressed his brows and suddenly had a bad premonition.

Klein accepted the prayer, saw the other party's figure and the captain's room, and quickly listened to the other party's concise report.

This... Klein's brows suddenly frowned slightly.

Perhaps because Frank usually behaved dangerously and "crazily" enough, he had overlooked the possibility that this "druid" was influenced by the "fallen mother goddess".

"However, Frank's products are still mild and benign, and their starting points are all good... Otherwise, the Demon of Knowledge should react before me. After all, the entire "Future" now belongs to the Mystery Church..."

Frank was once brought to trial by the Church of the Earth for his taboo experiment of hybridizing wheat and cows, and was later wanted... Come to think of it, the Church of Mother Earth also studies androids, and the android from the School of Life had a good impression of Frank.

This basically proves that Frank treats most lives equally... If the "Mother Earth Goddess" has not been corrupted and the Church of the Earth is still operating relatively normally, then it can be said that they think there is something wrong with Frank... However, if the evidence is conclusive, Frank who has been in court should have no chance of surviving... Klein's thoughts raced, trying to find clues based on his understanding of Frank.

"There is no problem with the relevant movements. The prayer posture is different from the usual praise gestures. Just like when the Beyonders of the Church of Darkness pray, they don't point four times clockwise on their chests to draw stars. At most, it is a finishing gesture..."

"Except for this small problem, Frank has problems everywhere. He is just like a child raised by the 'Fallen Mother Goddess'..."

"But this matter really has nothing to do with me. Frank's creations should all be submitted to the Mystery Church for evaluation and testing before they are allowed to be put into preliminary production and have patents recorded. In addition, the Demon of Knowledge released Mr. Bethel back. If the Fallen Mother Goddess had to choose between me and Him, she would definitely choose the Demon of Knowledge first... But I can remind Him, after all, we have cooperation."

As thoughts flashed through his mind, Klein had two contradictory guesses:

Either the contamination Frank suffered was so hidden that even the Inquisition of the Church of the Earth could not confirm it, or he was not affected by the "Fallen Mother Goddess" at all, and it was purely his own brain... It was purely his own imagination and creativity that made him look like a follower of the evil god.

Regardless of which guess it was, Klein believed that the subsequent development was not very good.

But in fact, everyone in these two paths is likely to be watched by the "Fallen Mother Goddess", and those in the church are no exception, especially those extraordinary people who have special talents and have been expelled from the Orthodox Church. It stands to reason that they are the perfect choice for the evil god to seduce them.

Regardless of whether Frank had any problems before, he was likely to have entered the sight of the "Fallen Mother Goddess".

This is not a good thing.

“Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that Frank was too crazy, causing the Fallen Mother Goddess to look away on her own initiative…” Klein muttered with a smile on his face.

This is almost impossible. The terror and power of the Outer Gods are beyond the comprehension of demigods.

"The mushrooms Frank has invented so far should not be a big problem. I have taken them above the gray fog and processed them... Moreover, the residents of Silver City and Moon City have not shown any abnormalities. Well, after leaving the God-Forsaken Land, they have given up growing mushrooms due to the lack of monster corpses and sufficient food... Increase the intensity of monitoring!" Klein felt a little uneasy after thinking about it.

Compared to the ostentatious "Mother Tree of Desire", the "Fallen Mother Goddess" who has always been extremely low-key is more terrifying than ever!
Mr. Door and Emperor Roselle were both silently eroded by Him.

“As expected, she is an existence that can stand at the top of the Outer Gods even after losing two extraordinary paths and a source of essence…” Klein sighed secretly and gave Cattleya a simple reply that she didn’t need to worry and that she should report to the Mystery Church if anything unusual happened.

Afterwards, after confirming that Ouroboros had stopped reporting errors to Utopia, Klein simply glanced at Utopia and found that he was quietly staying in the small house hidden in the city, resting with his eyes closed, or praying, under the sign of an inverted cross.

It feels like a hidden side quest NPC... Klein suddenly had this thought.

He stopped thinking about random things, slowly closed his eyes, and fell into a light sleep.

……

The next morning.

Dr. Allen looked at his little son crying loudly in his wife's arms, and exchanged glances with the maid who was in charge of taking care of the child with a complicated expression.

"I remember Will wasn't usually like this."

"The young master is usually very well-behaved." The maid looked helpless, "Maybe the young master doesn't want to leave home? Children will have a stress response when they leave their familiar environment."

"I'm going to be away for five days. I'm worried about not taking Will with me."

Allen looked at the ticket in his hand and joined the army of people trying to coax the child. He made faces at the child and took out the child's favorite toy, trying his best to coax his little son who started crying as soon as he left the house.

Finally, with their efforts, Will cried himself tired and fell asleep on Wilma's shoulder. Seeing this, Dr. Allen and his wife boarded the carriage waiting on the street and got on the train to Desiree Bay in the last five minutes.

Something is late.

I actually didn't think about who would win between the big snake and the small snake, because they were both unimportant side quests, and who won would have no impact on the outcome. But now I think about it, considering that Will might win in the original work, I'll give Ouroboros a chance in the fan fiction.

Okay, then let me collect everyone's ideas for the destiny path to godhood ritual. (I really haven't thought about it yet.
