Secret: The undead do not die in the fire

Chapter 110 Moon, which moon? Red or blue?

Tuesday, October 10th.

The Blue Avenger slowly entered the dock.

This is Pritz Port, the largest and busiest port in the Kingdom of Loen.

As long as they reach Pritz Harbor, Backlund will be right before their eyes.

All they had to do next was take a steam train and arrive in Backlund in a few hours.

As the ship slowly approached the shore, Ember walked off the Blue Avenger.

Alger stood by the side for a long time, then silently decided to return.

Backlund is a good place.

But unfortunately it is not suitable for him now.

His 'Navigator' potion had not yet been fully digested, so he would have to continue to serve as the captain of the Blue Avenger for a long time.

of course.

Even if the 'Navigator' potion is completely digested, he will not leave the sea.

Because the next sequence of wind-loving beings can also only be digested quickly at sea.

All I can say is that everyone’s situation is different.

But everyone has a bright future.

……

Wintershire, inside the Quiet Church.

Leonard Mitchell put on a black trench coat and red gloves and entered the room belonging to Senior Deacon Krestycesimma.

"Congratulations, you are officially a Red Glove. May the goddess bless you."

Cecima drew a crimson moon on his chest, and he still covered his mouth with his high collar.

"Praise the goddess, it is my pleasure."

Leonard raised his right hand and nodded four times clockwise.

"According to your own request, I will place you in the Soest team. He is a requiem master."

"Where's the captain?"

After hearing what Cecima said, Leonard hesitated and asked.

"He's just like you."

Cecima smiled, "However, he will serve as Soest's vice-captain."

"call."

Leonard breathed a sigh of relief from the bottom of his heart.

This is undoubtedly the best outcome.

"crunch~"

Leonard opened the door and left Cecima's room.

In the corridor outside, Dunn, also wearing a black windbreaker, was leaning against the wall waiting for him.

"team leader."

Leonard shouted, then laughed again, "This time he's really the captain."

Dunn has been a Sequence 7 for more than ten years. According to normal progress, he should have been promoted to Sequence 6 long ago.

However, because he had been swallowing the extraordinary properties of his sacrificed teammates, his digestion progress was extremely slow.

But he himself enjoyed it very much.

It was Klein's death that made him realize that he couldn't go on like this.

Coupled with his 'resurrection from the dead' in Tingen, he had a great epiphany.

He was successfully promoted to Sequence 6 Requiem Master a few days ago.

It is precisely because of this strength that he can serve as the deputy captain of the Sost team.

After he has gained enough experience for a while, he can go out on his own and form his own team.

"Ah."

Dunn nodded slightly, also with a hint of smile on his face, and said softly, "Siga sent a telegram saying that his brother Benson resigned not long ago."

When they left Tingen and chose to join the Red Gloves.

Xiga Teon, who was also promoted to Sequence 7, chose to stay and take over Dunn's position to continue protecting Tinn.

Out of guilt and indebtedness towards Klein, they have been silently paying attention to his family.

"why?"

Leonard's expression changed slightly.

"More than half a month ago, the unified examination bill was passed, and he resigned in order to concentrate on preparing for the exam two months later."

"If nothing unexpected happens, they will head to Backlund in a few months."

"pretty good."

Leonard opened his mouth, but in the end he just uttered a few words dryly and turned away in silence.

……

Hillston District.

Xio continued her life as a bounty hunter, while Fors remained idle.

Having been promoted to a master of magic, she feels that she has nothing left to desire.

Just don't know why.

She felt a little irritated, so she decided to go out for a walk.

As she walked, she found herself returning to a familiar place without realizing it.

Diagonally in front of her was the Yusuf Clinic, where she first worked, a fairly large private clinic.

But now it belongs to Dr. Allen.

After staring for a while, Fors thought of the old lady who led him into the extraordinary world.

So I turned into the alley on the right and took a shortcut to a nearby street.

The street is lined with sycamore trees with falling leaves, making it a relatively quiet place.

Fors remembered that the old lady lived in house number 39.

And at this time.

An old man with blue eyes and a half-high black hat stood at the door of house No. 39 and rang the doorbell three times.

But of course, no one opened the door.

Because no one lives here.

He suddenly spotted Fors, who was standing not far away and looking over here.

He hurriedly walked over and said with a gentle but eager smile:
"Beautiful lady, do you live in this neighborhood? Do you know Roberto and Anlisa?"

……

2 p.m.

Ember took the nearest steam train to Backlund and then took the subway to the North District.

He planned to go back to the Church of Night first.

However, he did not go directly to Saint Samuel's Church, but chose to go to the Backlund Detective Agency first.

as predicted.

He saw the familiar figure again.

Al Hassan and Borgia were playing chess as usual.

Old Neil watched them play chess from the side without interrupting, but just shook his head and sighed from time to time.

"Welcome back."

Borgia suddenly raised his head and shouted.

"Yo?"

Al Hassan turned around in surprise, and when he saw Yu Jin, he couldn't help but smack his lips, "Tsk, you're finally back from your business trip, how do you feel?"

"On business trip?"

Yu Jin asked back, and then suddenly realized, "Oh, yes, it's a business trip, it feels good."

"..."

Al Hassan was so upset. Do you dare to be more perfunctory?
I can tell from the way you look that you are not on a business trip, okay?!
Sure enough, he said that something didn't feel right about this matter.

How do you expect someone who doesn't even come to work to be on a business trip for more than a month?
It’s almost like slacking off for more than a month!
If you are really going on a business trip, I will eat this chessboard on the spot!

Borgia said nothing, silently reaching for the chessboard.

"Snapped!"

Without even turning his head, Al Hassan slapped Borgia's hand away, then slowly turned around and stared at Borgia, sneering, "You bastard, you still want to steal my chess pieces? I was saying that I always got the positions of the chess pieces wrong when I played chess with you before. I think you stole my chess pieces, didn't you?!"

"What is stealing?"

Borgia said confidently, "You asked me to do that."

"hehe."

Old Neil was watching the interaction between the two happily from the side, and he wanted to grab a handful of melon seeds and watch the show slowly.

"The captain has become a deacon."

Old Neil explained with a smile, "So my memory isn't as bad as before."

After a pause, Old Neil suddenly felt a little emotional.

Dunn should be promoted soon, right?

"Not worth mentioning."

Al Hassan shook his head and said modestly, "I guess this is all I can do in my lifetime. It's neither realistic nor desirable to move up any further."

A Sequence 6 deacon is second only to the thirteen archbishops and nine senior deacons in the Church of Evernight.

But at this point, it is almost impossible to continue to advance.

"really."

Ember nodded in agreement.

Even though he has become a butler, he is still staying at the headquarters and slacking off. It can be seen that Al really has no big ambitions.

But there is nothing wrong with this, at least there is no danger.

Well, there's not much work.

Yu Jin shook his head. It seemed that nothing had gone wrong in the past month.

Otherwise, Al Hassan would not have such an attitude.

After thinking for a while, Yu Jin left the detective agency and turned to walk towards the nearby Pacefield Street.

There is a pure black church here with a bell tower on each side, presenting a symmetrical beauty.

It was the headquarters of the Backlund Parish of the Church of the Goddess of Night, Saint Samuel Church.

Entering the church, walking through the quiet corridor, under the sunlight shining through the stained glass, we arrived at the large prayer hall.

Maybe it's because the timing is wrong.

The large prayer hall was empty in the afternoon, without a single believer.

Only Archbishop Anthony stood at the foot of the altar, smiling as he watched the embers enter the prayer hall.

"Welcome back, Your Excellency."

"Archbishop Anthony."

Yu Jin nodded slightly, without much greeting, and went straight to the point, "Can you communicate with spirits?"

"know a little."

Archbishop Anthony nodded slightly.

"So……"

Yu Jin waved his hand, and a glowing object appeared in his palm.

That's the soul of Jax.

"The soul of a demigod?"

Archbishop Anthony's eyes moved slightly.

Her Highness Arianna just wants you to stay at sea for a while.

But he didn't expect that the experience of His Excellency at sea during this time seemed to be much richer than he had imagined!

"What do you want to ask, Your Excellency?"

Anthony quickly hid his emotions and asked.

"Ask him who he is and why he attacked...well, the people who killed him."

"..."

Anthony's expression was a little strange. What was the problem?
What does 'why attack the person who killed him' mean?
"Who are you? Which faction do you belong to?"

Anthony took over Jax's soul, causing it to quickly transform from a ball of light into a bunch of illusory and blurry figures of old men, and asked calmly.

"Jex, the Saint of the Rose School."

"The Rose School."

Anthony's expression changed slightly, and then asked, "Why attack 'the one who killed you'?"

"The demigod behind him pretended to be my God and sent down a false oracle. I must kill him with my own hands!"

Jax's soul suddenly trembled violently, and his face became hideous and distorted.

But soon, under Anthony's 'comfort', his soul became calm and peaceful again.

But Anthony felt a little horrified.

Although it is rare for a demigod to impersonate a god and deliver false oracles, it is not impossible.

But that is only limited to the middle and low sequences.

There had indeed been demigods who pretended to be gods, making those low- and middle-sequence Beyonders believe that they had heard the oracle and mistakenly believed that they were the gods’ favored ones, in order to achieve some unspeakable secrets.

But it is simply impossible to convey a false oracle to an extraordinary being who is also a demigod!

Not to mention demigods, even angels can’t do it!

After all, he has already reached the level of demigod. It’s possible that he can’t even recognize his own God, right?
The only one who can deliver false oracles is a god of the same level!
But why?
Why did he connect with the Embers by sending false oracles to the Rose School?

And why did Jax think it was a false oracle sent down by the demigod?

After all, he is a Sequence 3 demigod, so he can’t be so stupid, right?
Anthony was full of questions, but he did not continue to ask. Instead, he turned his gaze to the embers.

"Sir, do you want to continue asking?"

"continue."

Ember nodded slightly, not seeming to mind that Anthony knew the contents of the oracle.

"What is an oracle?"

“Find the oracle with ten rings and ask him to collect as many 22 blasphemous cards as possible, especially the moon card.”

"And the second oracle, 'And the Mother Card.'"

"The second oracle?"

Anthony's expression changed slightly, "Why the second one?"

"There was an obvious interruption in the transmission of the oracle, and it took several minutes to arrive."

The expression of Jacks' soul turned ferocious again. This was obviously the greatest humiliation in his life.

But with Anthony's 'comfort', he regained his composure and continued, "It was also because of the interval between the two oracles that I discovered the clues and was able to pray to God in time and obtain verification. Otherwise, I would not have been able to see through it."

"Your Excellency."

Archbishop Anthony's expression became extremely serious, and he said solemnly, "The 'Bound God' is the incarnation of the 'Mother Tree of Desire', and it is a true evil god. Someone who can use the name of the 'Mother Tree of Desire' to falsely convey the oracle can't be just an ordinary demigod, but at least an evil god of the same level!"

"Although the purpose of this evil god is not clear at the moment, it is likely that he wants to use you, the beloved, to achieve some unknown secrets. You'd better not take this so-called 'oracle' to heart."

Ember nodded silently.

The Rose School's belief is the 'Bound God', which Yu Jin has known for a long time.

But this was the first time he heard that the 'Bound God' was the incarnation of the 'Mother Tree of Desire'.

But compared to the evil god who used the name of the 'Mother Tree of Desire' to falsely deliver the oracle, Yu Jin was more curious about another thing -

“Why is there a few minutes between?”

Ember looked puzzled.

Earlier, when Admiral Blood's second mate came to deliver the message, he also said that the transmission of the oracle was intermittent.

But why must the oracle be delivered twice?

This is obviously saying the same thing.

It can't be that the signal is bad, right?
Moreover, the 'Mother Tree of Desire' was given an oracle by other evil gods, but it had to wait until its own believers began to doubt and deliberately prayed to confirm whether there was such an oracle.

If it weren't for this, he probably wouldn't have realized until now that there was another evil god impersonating him.

Is this evil god a bit lame?

Of course, it is also possible that the evil god who falsely delivered the oracle is more powerful than the Mother Tree of Desire.

In the process of delivering the oracle, he also deceived the 'Mother Tree of Desire' so that it was unaware of it.

but.

Why would they pass the information through the 'Rose School', and why would they find him?

Or.

Does the evil god know him?
"Who do you think is impersonating the 'Bound God' to deliver the oracle?"

On the other side, Anthony's questioning continued.

"moon!"

Jax's spirit answered without hesitation.

"When I prayed to my God for a response, God sent down a true oracle!"

"It is to purge all the Beyonders of the Moon Path within the Rose School, so it must be a false oracle from the demigod of the Moon Path within the Rose School!"

"It can't be a demigod. It can only be a god of the same level."

Anthony took a deep breath, drew a crimson moon on his chest, and said in a deep voice, "However, judging from his description, the evil god is most likely the 'Original Moon'!"

"The 'Original Moon' may have used these Moon Path Beyonders who infiltrated the Rose School to secretly erode some of the authority of the 'Mother Tree of Desire'."

"So 'He' was able to use this authority to pass on a false oracle to Jax, and at the same time successfully deceived the 'Mother Tree of Desire' about this matter."

After a pause, Anthony added a reminder, "The Primordial Moon and the Mother Tree of Desire are suspected to be mortal enemies."

With that, Anthony handed Jax's soul back to Ember.

"There is still one."

Ember took Jax's soul, and under Anthony's strange gaze, he took out another ball of light and handed it to Anthony.

Anthony took the ball of light with some doubts, and a blurry shadow emerged from the ball of light.

Anthony's expression changed almost instantly.

Because he recognized the owner of this ghost-like figure——

Major General and Deputy Director of MI9, Chounas Kilger.

Her Highness Arianna accepted the goddess's instructions and asked Her Excellency the Favored One to go to the sea.

The purpose is to keep him away from matters related to the Black Emperor temporarily.

And His Excellency the Favored One had clearly already left Backlund, but who would have thought that someone from the royal family would actually come to the door on their own initiative!
After hesitating for a moment, Anthony chose to ask the question first.

"What's your name?"

"Qonas Kilgor."

Anthony was silent for a moment, then turned his gaze toward the embers.

Ember reminded, "Ask him where the slaves were transported to."

Anthony was silent for a moment and repeated it.

"Relic No. 1, there are arrangements to counter divination and prophecy."

"Where is the relic?"

Anthony asked immediately without needing Yu Jin's reminder.

"In the……"

The soul of Qonas Kilger suddenly trembled violently.

The ball of light was also expanding rapidly, as if it would explode at any time.

Anthony's face slightly changed, and he immediately 'comforted' Qiunas's soul.

After all, if the other person's soul explodes in his hands, it will be hard to explain!

"I'm sorry, Your Excellency."

Anthony returned the soul to Yu Jin and apologized, "His soul was restricted by a powerful Beyonder. I cannot get more valuable information from him."

"I'm afraid that you need an angel at least at Sequence 2 to get the answer you want from him."

"I suggest you wait for Princess Arianna to come to Backlund and ask her for help, but before that it's best not to try with anyone else."

"His soul is already extremely unstable. The next time he asks, it will most likely dissipate directly due to the restriction."

Anthony said this with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

Logically speaking, his soul would explode when he was asked about the forbidden content for the first time.

But His Excellency seemed to have done some special treatment to make his soul more "stable".

However, if the restriction is touched multiple times, the soul will eventually die from the restriction.

"Thank you."

Ember took the soul and thanked Anthony.

Anyway, at least his investigation has made new progress——

Relic No. 1.
