Secret: The undead do not die in the fire

Chapter 102 The Five-Part Sun God

"You are a fool who does not belong to this age;"

"You are the mysterious master above the gray fog;"

"You are the yellow and black king of good luck."

In the captain's cabin of the Blue Avenger, Alger prayed to the Fool with some trepidation.

Briefly explain the situation -

Because there were a few too many extraordinary creatures to hunt, it was difficult for them to survive in time.

Therefore, I hope to offer it to Mr. Fool and ask him to keep it for me.

at the same time.

Klein, who was having a meal at Lawyer Jurgen's house, felt something and apologized to Mrs. Doris.

Then he stood up and went into the bathroom, and his soul went above the gray fog.

When Mr. Fool received the prayer from Mr. Hanged Man, he was stunned at first!
"Is there still such an operation?"

Klein had a strange expression on his face.

He is very familiar with storing items above the gray fog!

But this was the first time that he was asked to keep someone else's things.

But there is no loss anyway, so he is not likely to refuse.

After thinking for a while, Klein recovered and replied to the Hanged Man with the calm and soothing tone of "Fool".

"I see."

"call."

Alger opened his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief when he got the accurate answer.

The Fool did not object, but replied, "I understand."

This shows that Mr. Fool doesn't care about such a small matter at all.

After all, Mr. Fool is a genuine god, and naturally he looks down on these mid-sequence extraordinary creatures.

But if they were not members of the Tarot Club, Mr. Fool probably wouldn't be so tolerant, right?
Alger thought to himself, and suddenly felt fortunate that he had joined the Tarot Club.

"Mr. Fool agreed to our request."

Alger adjusted his mindset, walked out of the captain's room, and spoke to Yu Jin who was standing on the side of the ship.

"Then make the sacrifice as soon as possible."

Yu Jin suddenly turned around and walked towards the cabin, saying without looking back.

"it is good."

Alger nodded, but he didn't doubt it.

And the other side.

Yu Jin returned to the cabin, stood still and stretched out his hand.

A pool of silver liquid slid down his body and finally condensed into shape in his palm.

"So."

Ember whispered softly, "What did you see?"

Having learned the lesson of exploring the world of paintings, Ember did not explore the island personally.

And the one who went in his place was the replica teardrop in his hand.

The replica teardrop seemed to sense something and stretched out two long tentacles to reach out to both sides of the ember's head.

In an instant, memories emerged in his mind like a movie.

From the teardrop quietly getting off the boat, to walking through the jungle and entering a ruined site.

Until the end, the picture freezes on a huge picture.

The picture was dark in tone, with blurry figures in the background and a long table as the main subject.

On the long table lay a figure carrying a glorious cross, surrounded by three shadowy figures.

One of them was handsome and vigorous, one was majestic and heroic, and one had a white beard and looked very wise, but all three pairs of eyes revealed an indescribable sense of evil, and their behavior was the same:

Opposite them, sitting cross-legged was a dark and sinister baby.

This scene looks a bit weird, and it is indeed a bit weird.

But Yu Jin's gaze went straight past them and looked at the most inconspicuous figure in the corner.

It was a girl with long white hair.

She sat on a high stool that was taller than her, her crystal white feet swaying gently in the air.

And in front of her was a huge, unfinished oil painting.

Next to the girl was a nun holding a scythe and guarding her.

Although her figure was shrouded in a nun's robe, her slender and graceful figure could still be vaguely discerned.

Just now.

The nun's behavior was in stark contrast to her attire.

She was holding a piece of red headscarf in her hand, and the other end was connected to the figure that was being eaten by the other four people.

The red headscarf seemed to have life and was greedily sucking blood from the figure's body.

"Miss? Friede?"

Yu Jin opened his eyes, looking slightly surprised.

Because he recognized the identities of the two figures.

And saw what they were doing -

The eldest lady was painting, and Friede was collecting the blood of the figure carrying the glorious cross as paint.

As for the other four figures sharing the corpse, Yu Jin could not recognize them.

But I think they should be the natives of this world.

The one being eaten was undoubtedly a god.

The only problem is.

Who killed him?

The picture only shows the scene of dismemberment, and it seems that the people in the picture worked together to kill him.

Not only the people who were sharing the food, but also those figures acting as the background seemed to be involved as well.

But things don't seem that simple.

For example--

Ember recalled the picture.

Although there are only a few people on the surface.

But among the blurry figures acting as the background, there is one figure that is clearer than the others.

Although his entire body was covered in a black robe and only his back was visible, Teardrop was unable to see his face clearly.

But based on the graceful back shadow left by the figure, it can be vaguely identified that it is a woman.

and.

Do not know why.

Her black robe gave Yu Jin an inexplicably familiar feeling, as if he had seen her somewhere.

But my memory is clearly a little fuzzy, and I can't remember it at all...

Yu Jin decisively discarded the messy thoughts in his mind.

If you can't remember, don't think about it. You will remember it sooner or later anyway.

Ok.

No longer having any thoughts or worries, Yujin felt instantly brighter.

He turned and walked towards the deck, intending to see how Alger was progressing.

At the same time, Alger had already arranged the sacrificial ceremony and was reciting devoutly in the ancient Hermetic language:
"You are a fool who does not belong to this age;"

"You are the mysterious master above the gray fog;"

"You are the yellow and black king of good luck."

"Thy faithful servant beseeches thy gaze;"

"I beg you to accept his offering;"

“Please open the gates of your kingdom.”

Ancient spells echoed within the spiritual wall, stirring up swirling gale winds and bringing shocks of natural forces.

Alger skillfully took out a small dark brown glass bottle from his pocket, unscrewed the lid, and poured out a lot of sesame-like particles.

These particles have a metallic luster and an indescribable beauty.

He then scattered the particles into the wind.

Woo!
The wind became more violent but no longer fierce, and was dyed with two colors: silver and dark black.

As the two winds of different colors collided and merged, they joined the candlelight that symbolized the "fool".

The expansion tore out an illusory door of normal size.

"call."

Although it was not the first time, Alger still couldn't control himself and began to tremble.

It was a deep fear and an inexplicable excitement.

The silver knights nearby were already ready for battle after the illusory door was opened.

He then began to throw the extraordinary creatures piled on the deck into the illusory door.

And that illusory gate seemed small, as if the corpse of any extraordinary creature could block it.

But actually.

Whenever those huge corpses tried to block the illusory gate, they would be instantly wrapped and sucked in until they completely disappeared inside the gate.

The Silver Knights are extremely efficient.

In just a few minutes, the pile of corpses was cleared away.

Alger felt relieved.

At least he no longer had to worry about how to preserve the bodies.

"Thank you for your generosity, Mr. Fool."

Alger lowered his head and said respectfully.

Mr. Fool did not respond to him as before, but simply cut off the connection after a moment of silence.

Alger looked up and saw that the illusory door had disappeared, the strong wind had stopped, and the candlelight had returned to its original state.

It was as if nothing had ever happened.

In the magnificent palace above the gray fog.

Klein looked at the pile of corpses in front of him with a somewhat numb expression, and the corners of his eyes twitched slightly.

Although Alger had already stated in advance that he hoped some things could be stored with him.

But this number is a bit too exaggerated!

Are you going to wipe out the lairs of these extraordinary creatures in one fell swoop?
and--

"With so many extraordinary creatures, how much would they sell for?!"

"Even if you give me one tenth of it, I can pay off the debt I owe to Yu Jin, and even more."

Klein's eyes suddenly turned red, and he felt very sad.

I originally thought that agreeing to the other party was a trivial matter!
But now when he saw these things, he felt like a clown!

After working so hard and risking his life, he actually earns less than a fraction of what Yu Jin earns!

After all, these extraordinary creatures were like living gold pounds in his eyes!
Even if you die, it's still a heavy weight of gold pounds!

Even if the most valuable Beyonder Characteristics had been taken away in advance, the remaining ones were still worth at least 100,000 gold pounds!
Although it is such a large piece of material, he should not be discovered even if he secretly takes some blood or something like that.

But that was the embers after all.

Although I, Klein, am poor, I must be poor with ambition!

but.

I really look like a clown now!

Klein looked like he wanted to cry but couldn't. Why should he agree to Alger's request?
It must be very difficult for him to face a mountain of gold all day long!

suddenly.

Klein felt that he must have digested part of the potion.

Because now he really looks like a clown!

“That’s a good thing, too.”

Klein took a deep breath and forced himself to calm his restless emotions.

Although this mountain of gold can only be seen but not eaten, it is a good thing that it can be used to digest the magic potion.

Ok.

That's right!

That's it!

That's all!

Klein made a lot of money today!
but……

Klein thought of his recent experience and his eyes suddenly twitched.

Honestly.

He really wanted to borrow another sacrificial ring from Ember, but he couldn't bring himself to do it.

After all, the debt owed last time has not been paid off yet.

But if I don’t lend it to you, I can’t help feeling a little nervous.

Although Miss Justice has been commissioned to hire someone to assassinate the ambassador, it will take some time after all.

Before the ambassador is assassinated, he is likely to cause trouble for him first.

Sacrificing just the ring isn't really that safe.

After all, the other party is likely to guard the body and kill him again.

Therefore, the safest way is to find a bodyguard for yourself.

At least he has to be a Sequence 6 or even Sequence 5 bodyguard.

For the time being, it is not that dangerous.

After all, the ambassador's main goal now is to find Ian Wright and the "important item".

In other words.

At least he was safe until the object was found.

But no matter what.

Now we can only hope that Mr. A can give us a little help.

Klein rubbed his temple and waved his hand to drive the gray fog to hide the body of the extraordinary creature.

In an instant, his figure disappeared into the towering palace above the gray fog.

……

at the same time.

Backlund, 117 Burningham Road, Hillston District.

"Why don't we just forget it?"

Fors sat on the sofa hugging a pillow and said hesitantly, "I always feel that it's a little unreliable."

"What's unreliable."

The petite Xio said nonchalantly, "We are just acting as a middleman to issue the commission. No matter what happens afterwards, it won't be our fault. Isn't this easy?"

"But……"

Fors shrugged and whispered, "Have you forgotten what you did last time?"

Mr. A had been 'missing' for a full half month, and only convened a gathering of Beyonders a few days ago.

It was because Xio betrayed Mr. A's information to Yu Jin.

Although Mr. A luckily survived, it can be judged from his recent condition that he must have suffered a great loss.

Now Xio is going to find Mr. A again and ask him to assassinate the ambassador of another country.

Aren't you walking into a trap?
"no problem."

Hugh patted his chest confidently and said, "The one who caused trouble to him last time was Yu Jin. What does it have to do with me, Hugh Dilcha? Besides, didn't he notice us when we went to the Extraordinary Party last time?"

"Besides, this commission comes with a reward of 1000 gold pounds! Fors, can you bear to see a huge sum of 1000 pounds slip away from you in vain?"

"Ok."

Fors hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Then I'll go with you."

"No need...Okay, let's go together."

Xio was about to refuse, but when she met Fors's firm gaze, she had no choice but to give in and nodded helplessly.

Fors touched the stone bracelet on her wrist.

Even if they encounter danger later, they will have no problem escaping.

"stop."

Fors suddenly whispered, "How do you think Yu Jin is now?"

"Eh?"

Xio looked at Fors in surprise, "Didn't Miss Audrey say he was on a business trip?"

"How could it be possible that he was really on a business trip?"

Fors sighed, somewhat doubting her friend's intelligence.

He had just finished causing trouble for Mr. A when he went on a business trip.

Fors would never believe that the two were unrelated.

"If it's not a business trip, what else could it be?"

Xio looked at Fors in a strange way and asked in confusion, "It's not like we didn't go to the Church of Evernight to ask. Didn't Mr. Al Hassan, the captain of Embers, admit it himself?"

"That's why I'm worried."

Fors said helplessly, "Mr. A was seriously injured and has not been seen for more than half a month. Even though Yu Jin is much stronger than Mr. A, he is probably also seriously injured. Although he said he was on a business trip, I guess he is now recuperating in a church..."

"And the boy."

Fors suddenly paused, wanting to say something but stopping himself.

"Will Auceptin?"

Xio's expression changed slightly, "You dreamed about him again?"

"Ah."

Fors whispered, "He also asked me to tell Yu Jin that he is dead and told Yu Jin not to look for him again."

……

in the afternoon.

In Mr. A's new home in Hillston District.

"Four thousand pounds?"

Mr. A's eyes moved back and forth between the two ladies in front of him, and he chuckled, "Don't you know the consequences of assassinating an ambassador? This could directly lead to a war between the Kingdom of Loen and the Republic of Intis."

"People like Mr. A still care about these things?"

Quinn met Mr. A's gaze fearlessly and asked back.

"really."

Mr. A leaned back slowly, letting his back touch the back of the sofa, and said leisurely, "I can take this task, but 4000 gold pounds is not enough, I need to pay more."

"Ten thousand gold pounds, haha, this is the bounty on Hurricane Vice Admiral Qi Lingos. Beckram's strength is definitely not as good as his, but it is not easy to assassinate him. Believe me, he is worth the price."

"it is good!"

Xio and Fors looked at each other and nodded slightly, but also made their own requests, "We can pay a deposit of 2000 gold pounds first, but the balance must be settled after the task is completed. In addition,"

Hugh paused and added, "We have received intelligence that Baker is about to leave his post as ambassador and return home, so this mission must be completed within three days."

Considering the danger and urgency of the commission, Audrey gave them great autonomy.

4000 pounds was just a test, and Audrey's bottom line was actually 12000 pounds.

As long as it does not exceed 12000 pounds, they can make their own decisions.

"Three days?"

Mr. A chuckled.

It takes less than three days to assassinate an ambassador.

"The money is not with us. We will send it over in the afternoon."

Xio said without leaving a trace.

"can."

Mr. A nodded and gestured to see the guest off.

When the two of them left the house on their own, Mr. A's smiling expression suddenly turned gloomy.

More than half a month ago.

The embers suddenly broke into his house, wiped out all his men, and even destroyed the vessel for the Lord's descent!

Although he was lucky enough to survive, his many years of business in Backlund were destroyed.

Because not only did the other party break into his house and kill people, he even notified the Church of Night in advance!
As a result, the believers who had managed to survive were besieged by the Church of Night afterwards.

As a result, although he was still nominally the chief of Backlund, and although some peripheral members were lucky enough not to have their identities exposed, all of his Beyonders were killed or injured.

Now he is basically a commander without any troops!
If it weren't for the Dark Saint's protection, he might not even be able to keep his position as a commander without any troops.

That's why he had to convene the Extraordinary gathering again as soon as possible.

One reason is to develop some believers from these wild extraordinary people.

Secondly, it is also to raise funds as quickly as possible to rebuild the organizational structure of the Aurora Society.

The 10,000 gold pounds that are delivered to your doorstep is certainly a good opportunity, but what if it is another trap?

"No, they don't."

Mr. A's frown relaxed slightly.

Assassinating an ambassador of a country was not a difficult task for him.

So what if there is a conspiracy?

The person who broke into his house was at least a demigod. An ambassador from a mere country wouldn't have demigod guards, right?
……

That night.

At the Brave Bar, Klein met Maric again, who had rejected him last time.

But this time, the other party spoke directly.

"Is your commission still valid?"

"what?"

Klein was unable to react immediately.

"I have a friend who is short of money recently and is willing to accept this commission. However, she will only protect you for three days, 1000 pounds."

"it is good!"

Klein agreed without hesitation and asked, "When does it start?"

"Now you can."

Maric looked at him in surprise. "But 1000 pounds is not a small amount. Don't you need some time to prepare?"

"unnecessary."

Klein looked calm.

Money is not important, life is important!
What's more, does he look like someone who is short of money?

He is now extremely rich with dozens of corpses of extraordinary creatures in his hands!
Although those mountains of gold were not his.

But it doesn’t matter if the things are here with him!
The bank’s money does not belong to the bank, but no one would doubt that the bank has money, right?
Why else would someone rob a bank?
"correct."

After a pause, Klein added, "Since the protection period is three days, then I'll pay in three installments. Is that ok?"

"no problem."

Maric nodded. If the protection failed, he would not have to pay the remaining money. This was fair.

Klein breathed a sigh of relief with a bodyguard, but at the same time he couldn't help but grumble in his heart.

Three days should be enough, right?
No matter how useless Mr. A is, he is still a Sequence 5, so killing an ambassador should be easy for him.

Unless, he takes the money but doesn't do the job.

Klein's eye twitched as he thought of the worst guest.

If Mr. A really wants to take the money but not do the job, then he must ensure that the three days of protection are just right.

It happened to be the time when Ambassador Baker sent someone to assassinate him.

And how to grasp this time.

Well, let him do some careful divination first.

"I'm going to the bathroom."

Klein said to Maric.

……

Alger watched the Blue Avenger successfully return to the safe channel and heaved a sigh of relief as he explained, "From here, we can go west along the main channel and it will only take about five days to reach Bayam."

"Don't you need to take your sailors with you?"

Ember asked in surprise.

"fine."

Alger shrugged. "I gave them a month's vacation. They are so happy."

Actually not.

If this was his ship, it didn't matter whether he took these people with him or not.

But he is a believer of the Church of Storms, and the Blue Avenger also belongs to the Church of Storms.

Those sailors usually provide assistance, but they also perform surveillance.

He had now abandoned those sailors for no apparent reason and had been missing for more than a month, which would be quite troublesome to explain afterwards.

But compared to explaining to the Church of Storms, Alger didn't want to waste Yu Jin's time because of these trivial matters.

After all, no matter what, the other party has helped him a lot, so he naturally has to return the favor.

Of course, there is no need to let Yu Jin know these little things.

He can handle it himself.

Alger added, "My craftsman friend is in Bayam. You can ask him to help you transform those magical items in your hands."

"Of course, those unused extraordinary materials can also be sold on Bayam's black market."

"forget it."

Ember shook his head slightly, "It might be useful to keep these things."

"it is good."

Alger immediately nodded in agreement.

The thing belonged to Yu Jin, so the other party could do whatever they wanted with it, and he certainly wouldn't say much.

Yu Jin thought for a moment and then said casually, "As for the corpses of extraordinary creatures, you can do whatever you want. Sell as many as you can and split the profits 50-50."

"Fifty-fifty?"

Alger was somewhat moved.

That batch of corpses could be sold for at least hundreds of thousands of gold pounds. If it was a 8- split, he could get at least !
This was undoubtedly a great temptation for Alger.

"Need not."

Alger took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Those extraordinary creatures are your spoils of war. I didn't contribute much, so I feel unworthy of taking 50%. 10% will do, as my reward for helping you find a buyer."

If someone else came to him, he would earn at least 20% from this kind of work.

But the demand for the embers was huge, and they helped him a lot.

Of course I have to give a friendly price.

"also."

Yu Jin didn't force it, but just nodded nonchalantly.
