Secret: The undead do not die in the fire

Chapter 103 Those Tempted by Fire

The evening of June 9.

There were two stabbings in Backlund.

The Intis Republic ambassador, Backlund, was assassinated. That night, all the major newspapers in Backlund worked overtime to get this news on the front page.

On the other hand, Klein, who was also assassinated in his own home, seemed "calm and unperturbed". For example, nothing was even broken in this battle.

Instead, it was Rosago who sent his head away from afar.

Klein obtained all the potion formulas of the Sequence 7 Magician, Sequence 6 Faceless Man, and Sequence 5 Puppet Master from the channeling, as well as a "Total Black Eye" contaminated by the True Creation.

If you want to buy these at a Beyonder gathering, they would be worth at least tens of thousands of gold pounds.

But right now, Klein only spent one thousand gold pounds.

This made Klein feel somewhat grateful for Rosago's generosity.

After that, Klein decided to do a careful divination to ensure that everything was safe.

Klein took out a coin when he had nothing to do and recited in a low voice:
"Becklund is dead."

Zheng!
The one penny coin tumbled and leaped into the air.

Klein thought silently, it doesn't matter if he's not dead, he can do the divination again tomorrow.

"Snapped!"

The coin landed steadily in Klein's palm, heads facing up.

This means yes.

Very good! Baker is dead!

Klein was delighted, and his tense state suddenly relaxed.

……

The living room of a townhouse in Hillston.

Mr. A, who had just completed the assassination and retired successfully, was wearing a black robe with a hood and kneeling in the darkness.

In front of him was a small statue of a person hanging upside down with his legs tied with chains.

"Cough cough."

Mr. A, who was originally reciting devoutly, suddenly started coughing violently. He coughed up clumps of bloody fragments, which were still squirming after falling to the ground.

But soon, Mr. A bent down with his hands on the ground.

With a pious attitude, he put his mouth to the ground and licked back all the bloody fragments he had just coughed up.

He even licked his lips with satisfaction.

But the next second, Mr. A seemed to sense something and turned back suddenly in alertness.

As far as the eye can see, a figure is quietly emerging from the darkness.

"The Dark Saint."

Mr. A was shocked and immediately lowered his head respectfully.

"Do you remember the person who assassinated you last time?"

The Dark Saint walked out from the shadows and spoke slowly.

"remember."

Mr. A nodded without hesitation and said through gritted teeth, "I would recognize you even if you turned into ashes!"

"very good."

The Dark Saint nodded slightly and said slowly, "The Lord sent a divine oracle."

Upon hearing this, Mr. A's expression suddenly became serious and he lowered his head respectfully and reverently.

"His name is Ember. I want you to find him, and then..."

"kill him?!"

Mr. A raised his head, looking somewhat excited.

"Do not."

The Dark Saint said in a deep voice, "Help him!"

Mr. A's face froze. Feeling the warning in the Dark Saint's eyes, he bowed his head respectfully and said, "Yes, how can I help him?"

The Dark Saint nodded slightly and said, "This child is teachable."

"Give him whatever he wants."

The Dark Saint glanced at him calmly, but still reminded him, "He should be tracking down clues about the Black Emperor now. If you meet him again, take the initiative and tell him all the information you know."

"The Black Emperor?"

Mr. A looked up in surprise, with obvious confusion and puzzlement in his eyes.

"The Royal Family of Loen."

The Dark Saint did not explain in detail, but simply said, "If he asks, tell him about our cooperation with the royal family and the Witch Cult."

"What about the royal family and the witch sect..."

Mr. A hesitated.

They seem to be in a cooperative relationship with both parties now. If they reveal all the information, wouldn't that be selling out their teammates?
"Don't bother with them, they're just a bunch of ignorant idiots."

The Dark Saint said calmly, "What you need to do is to continue cooperating with them while hiding your relationship with Yu Jin. Do whatever they ask you to do, and then tell Yu Jin what you did. When necessary, I will also come forward to assist you."

The more Mr. A listened, the more confused he became. He was extremely puzzled.

Although he had no objection to being a traitor, he was not doing a good enough job as a traitor.

On the one hand, he had to help the royal family complete their plan, and on the other hand, he had to reveal all the information to Yu Jin.

What's the point of doing this?
Mr. A hesitated and said, “He destroyed the vessel for the Lord’s coming. Why should we help him?”

“The container doesn’t matter!”

The Dark Saint looked at him deeply and said, "The Lord does not need to come to this world, but the Lord needs the embers to complete his mission. Do you understand?"

"clear."

Mr. A bowed his head and asked respectfully, "Saint, please forgive me for being so presumptuous. You should know more than me. Why don't you contact him yourself?"

"Thank God."

The Dark Saint suddenly chanted two sentences devoutly in a low voice, and then his expression suddenly changed. After a long time, he slowly said, "It's not the time yet. The speed at which Yu Jin discovered the 'Black Emperor' must be consistent with the royal family's plan. Before the royal family's plan is completed, he should not know more details. Otherwise, the fire transmission will lose its meaning."

"If anything changes, you can tell him secret information about other gods to divert attention."

"Passing fire?"

Mr. A seemed to have grasped some key.

The purpose of them doing all this is to let the other party pass on the fire?

So what is the purpose of this fire transmission?
And the Church of Night——

It is obvious that Embers is backed by the Church of Evernight, which means that the Church of Evernight should know more information.

So, their purpose is also to let the embers spread the fire?
"Your Excellency the Saint."

Mr. A asked in a low voice, "Does the Church of Darkness also want him to pass on the flame? If our goals are the same, is there any possibility for us to cooperate with the Church of Darkness?"

"Do not."

The Dark Saint said in a deep voice, "Don't believe them. The Church of Evernight knows more than us, but they may not want the embers to pass on the fire!"

……

Backlund, Saint Samuel Church,
In the large prayer hall, a lady in a simple linen robe stood at the foot of the altar, bowing her head devoutly.

"Your Highness Arianna."

An old man with no beard and wearing a black and red archbishop's robe came to the prayer hall, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.

"Do you have any questions?"

Arianna asked softly, her posture still pious.

"I do not understand,"

Anthony was silent for a long time, and then asked the question that had puzzled him for a long time, "The painting of the World Temple also exists, why must we borrow the one from the Aurora Society?"

"time."

Arianna whispered, "The goddess needs time, and Your Excellency the Favored One also needs time. The Aurora Society's painting world can send Your Excellency the Favored One to the Sonia Sea, which can buy at least a month."

Anthony remained silent. Although Arianna's words could not solve the doubts in his heart, he did not ask any more questions.

"When the beloved returns, what should I do?"

Anthony was silent for a long time and then asked softly.

"It's business as usual."

Arianna raised her head and said softly, "Satisfy all your needs, Your Excellency."

"Besides the Black Emperor?"

Anthony asked back.

"Yes, except the Black Emperor."

"why?"

"time,"

Arianna opened her red lips slightly, and said vaguely, "The time is wrong."

After saying this, Arianna bowed her head again and recited devoutly at the foot of the altar.

As a devout believer of the goddess, she would not try to guess her intentions.

For example.

She would not secretly speculate that the reason why the goddess did not allow the Favored One to go to the painting world of the Quiet Church was because she did not want the people in the painting world to know that the Favored One had returned.

after all.

The three sisters have been guarding the king's coffin in the painting world.

If they knew that Her Excellency had revived in the outside world, the Goddess would probably be in big trouble.

of course.

These malicious speculations certainly had nothing to do with her, Arianna, a devout believer of the goddess.
