Secret: The undead do not die in the fire

Chapter 119 You want to save everyone? How pitiful!

"He is a time traveler, why would he think about passing on fire all day long? Where does his obsession with this come from?!"

Klein complained in his heart.

But soon he seemed to have thought of something and his expression changed slightly.

"The undead have obsessions because their humanity is constantly lost as they die again and again. As they die more and more times, they will gradually become 'wandering souls' and finally 'living corpses'."

"A zombie is a corpse that can move. They can't think, have no reason, and have no consciousness. They only have the instinct to pursue the soul and human nature."

"The only essential difference between wandering souls and zombies is whether they have 'obsession'!"

"Igo's obsession is to protect, Anri's obsession is revenge, Sirius's obsession is to end her grandfather's pain, and Onion's obsession is to kill Youm... All the undead have their own obsessions."

"So Igor chose to commit suicide after confirming that Saint Irina became the Fire Keeper, because his obsession no longer existed. He didn't want to become a zombie, so he had to end his life with his own hands."

"After Anri took revenge on Eldridge, she fulfilled her obsession, but she still wanted to find Horace, who had already turned into a zombie. In the end, she turned into a zombie in the Smoky Lake."

"After Onion successfully defeats Youmu and fulfills his obsession, he will also commit suicide in Youmu's palace."

"After Siris killed her grandfather, she also fulfilled her obsession. So she hoped to become a knight of Embers and give herself a new obsession. But after Embers killed all the Cinder Kings, her obsession disappeared again, and she finally chose to commit suicide."

"If Yu Jin is an undead, then his obsession with passing on the fire is enough to explain it! But this is only limited to undead, and Yu Jin is not only a 'residue' but also a time traveler. He shouldn't have such a strong obsession!"

Klein's thoughts were racing. He seemed to have grasped some key point, but at the same time, he seemed to have missed it.

The predecessors of Embers were all undead, heroes who were not qualified to become the Lord of Fire and resolutely joined the First Fire. Embers are different from undead, and their death is no longer accompanied by the loss of humanity. Although they have the same obsession as undead, this obsession is not "passing on the fire"!
Because according to the old thief's calculations, the true ending of Soul 3 is neither to pass on the fire, nor to usurp the fire, nor to extinguish the fire, but to seize the fire!

Although the embers of the fire are shavings, this is the only ending among the '4 endings' that does not have an achievement but has a narration -

That is a nameless, cursed undead person who cannot be used as firewood. But it is precisely because of this that the ashes are so thirsty for the embers!
"According to 'Ember's' obsession, he should end up taking the fire! As a time traveler, the situation is even clearer. Put yourself in his shoes, what would I do if it were me? I might usurp the fire, put out the fire, or even take the fire, but I would never pass on the fire!"

So, why did he insist on passing on the fire? Where did his obsession with passing on the fire come from?

"Even if I change my thinking, if I were Ember, I would also try to find a perfect ending where everyone survives. Regardless of which assumption I make, passing on the fire is an impossible choice!"

"If we think in the direction of conspiracy theories, then the obsession of the embers passing on the fire was probably instilled by someone else. But who instilled this obsession? The goddess of night?"

"No, it's unlikely. If it's really the Goddess of Night, then "She" should have given Yu Jin detailed information directly, so that he could kill the gods directly, instead of looking for clues like guessing like now, which would only waste time. So rather than saying that "She" wants Yu Jin to pass on the fire, it's more like "She" is deliberately delaying time, so that Yu Jin can pass on the fire as late as possible or even not pass on the fire at all."

"And if we look at it from this perspective, what if the Goddess of Night is helping him by not letting Ember pass on the fire? Doesn't that indirectly prove that the passing on of the fire itself is a conspiracy?"

"The only question is whose conspiracy this is."

Klein frowned. It was no coincidence that the ember had awakened in this world. The Emperor's diary also mentioned the existence of the Dark Soul, which meant that there was more than one 'undead' who had traveled to this world.

So which god's conspiracy was this about the transmission of fire?

This question is not complicated. All you need to know is which god benefits from the Fire Transmission. For example, in the Dark Souls series, the one who benefits from the Fire Transmission is undoubtedly the Protoss. Could it be that there are Protoss hiding in the painting world, secretly controlling all this?
It's not impossible, but unfortunately he has too little information and evidence to come up with an accurate answer. Even if he does come up with an answer, he doesn't have enough evidence to prove it, let alone convince Yu Jin.

There should be some reliable records in the emperor's diary. After all, he also knows about the "fire transmission" and is also exploring the secrets in this regard. But it is not easy to collect the diary containing these secrets.

"but……"

A gleam of brilliance flashed in Klein's eyes. If all this was really a conspiracy, then the obsession of Embers to "pass on the fire" must have been instilled by other people or other gods, and must have been used by someone!

So……

Klein crossed his hands on the table and asked in a leisurely tone:

"Have you ever thought about why you want to pass on the fire?"

Upon hearing this question, Yu Jin's expression became extremely firm, and he said without hesitation:

"To save everyone."

Klein repeated it once, and at first he didn't think anything of it. But after thinking about it carefully, he felt his heart sink, and a chill of fear ran through his body. But at the same time, this also made him more certain of his guess -

There is definitely a huge conspiracy behind all this!

He didn't know what Yu Jin had been through, but based on his understanding of the Dark Soul world, he could say for sure that the Fire Transmission could not save everyone! Rather, the Fire Transmission could not save anyone, including the Protoss who were the beneficiaries of the Fire Transmission!

Because as time goes by, the First Flame will eventually go out, and the Deep Sea Era will eventually arrive. Moreover, in the world of Soul 3, even the transvestite has been eaten by the God of Eating!

For the dwarves, the fire transmission is a complete scam, just as the dark snake Kaas said:

King Gwyn was deeply afraid of darkness. He was worried that the fire would go out, and he was afraid of those who belonged to the darkness. He was also worried that humans might give birth to a dark king, and he was afraid of the cycle of justice. So he kept passing on the fire, ordering his children to lead and restrain people, so that you humans would forget everything and live in confusion, to avoid the birth of a dark king!

It is normal that the natives of the Dark Souls world were deceived by the gods and could not see the truth. But as a time traveler, it is impossible that Ember could not see through all this, right?

And if he could see through all this, why did he insist on passing on the flame? Or, did he really end up with the passing on the flame ending instead of any other ending?
Klein tapped the tabletop with his fingers and said softly, "Perhaps you should think about this issue again."

Seeing Yu Jin's suspicious look, Klein stopped talking and just smiled. After all, this was just his guess, without any evidence. Moreover, he knew that talking too much would lead to mistakes. What if he said something wrong? Wouldn't that expose him?
The private conversation ended here, and the blocked perceptions of the others also recovered one after another. They were undoubtedly very curious about the conversation between the "three people". But they also knew that in the Tarot Club, equal exchange was important. If they wanted to know the content of the conversation, they had to pay a sufficient price.

"Miss Justice."

Magician Fors looked towards Audrey impatiently and asked, "I heard that you can provide 'loan' services to members of the Tarot Club?"

"Yes."

Miss Justice nodded and said, "But I don't have much money at the moment, only less than 5,000 pounds. Since other members may also be in need, I can only lend you 3,000 pounds at most."

She had already guessed that the 'magician' was Miss Fors, and she knew Miss Fors's financial situation very well. Although she was relatively wealthy among the middle class, it was still a drop in the bucket compared to the huge expenses required by Beyonders.

"only?"

"Not yet?"

"Five thousand pounds?"

Fors and Xio looked at each other. Even though they couldn't see each other's expressions due to the fog, they were sure that each other's expressions were not peaceful. After all, Fors had to sell the house to get 2500 pounds.

Even The Fool and The Hanged Man's cheeks twitched slightly.

That's five thousand pounds, not five hundred pounds! Why can Miss Justice make it sound as easy as five pence?
I can only say that rich women are really attractive!

Fortunately, this rich woman is a member of their Tarot Club.

Klein thought for a moment, then controlled the World and said hoarsely:

"Help me keep an eye on the mutated pituitary gland and blood of the Thousand-Faced Hunter, as well as the characteristics of the human-skinned shadow and the hair of the deep-sea naga. Of course, I may also need some help from Miss Justice."

Although he still had a long time to digest the Magician's potion, it was necessary to collect the required main ingredients in advance. Although he didn't have the money to buy these main ingredients, Miss Justice did!
It's just borrowing money, but the Magician can borrow it, but the World can't? That means the bank doesn't provide this kind of loan service, otherwise I would have borrowed money until the bank went bankrupt. Klein complained in his heart.

"of course can."

Audrey nodded modestly.

Her father, Earl Hall, was a well-known banker in the Kingdom of Loen, and he was ranked among the top three bankers in the country in terms of wealth. As Earl Hall's daughter, although Audrey could not inherit the family business, she also inherited Earl Hall's "talent" in the banking industry.

However, she didn't make any money from lending money in the Tarot Club. After all, she didn't really care about that little bit of interest. The most important thing was to make everyone in the Tarot Club owe her a favor.

Although she may not be able to use these favors, it is better to have them than not. As Emperor Roselle said: Having no sword in hand and having a sword but not using it are two different things.

However, Mr. World seems to be short of money. Even as a follower of God, is he still troubled by these mundane things? Well, if I think about it carefully, it seems that the only two people in the Tarot Club who are not troubled by money are me and my lover.

The usually taciturn 'Sun' Derrick raised his hand and said:

"I have been assigned a mission to explore the semi-destroyed temple mentioned earlier in the near future. Well, the one of the Fallen Creator."

"The leader in charge of this operation is Elder Shepherd Lovia."

"Do you have any suggestions?"

Derrick spoke a little nervously, briefly describing the situation he would face, and then looked at others expectantly for advice.

"My suggestion..."

The Hanged Man Alger said without hesitation, "My advice is absolutely not to go!"

"really."

Klein nodded silently. His advice was to stay as far away as possible and to play it safe.

The Sun was silent for a few seconds, then said awkwardly:

"However, the mission must be accepted."

The Hanged Man laughed softly:

“Nothing is necessary.”

"Before this mission, will you still participate in patrols? Find an opportunity and let the monster hurt you intentionally.
For the specific scale... you can refer to past examples in Silver City."

"Well, if you don't have the opportunity to patrol recently, you can also pretend to be close to losing control... or, in other words, make yourself close to losing control. The method is very simple. All you need to do is keep your spirituality in a relatively dry state for two consecutive days, and you will have auditory hallucinations and show signs of losing control."

"This method is not safe, but it is not dangerous either. Because as long as you don't continue to squeeze your spiritual energy, the situation will improve within a week and won't really get out of control. Of course, you in Silver City must have ways and measures to treat those who have the precursors of losing control, so recovery should be faster."

"So, I suggest you estimate the time, preferably two or three days before departure."

Derrick was stunned when he heard this, and he opened his mouth wide, not knowing what to say.

As a spectator, Justice immediately read a message from the Sun's eyes and actions:
"Is there still such an operation?"

"Mr. 'The Hanged Man'."

Xio couldn't help but ask, "Why are you so skilled?"

As if he had expected this question, The Hanged Man answered calmly, "I'm not an expert. I just happened to know it from a notebook."

The Sun was a little hesitant at first. After all, he was a good boy, and lying was not something he could easily accept. But the Hanged Man was obviously experienced in this area, and he quickly eliminated the Sun's psychological barriers.

Just like removing Miss Justice's psychological barrier to assassinating the ambassador.

The title of political commissar is well deserved.

Under the careful instruction of The Hanged Man, The Sun nodded solemnly and said:

"I understand"

"Thank you, Mr. Hanged Man."

"Justice" Audrey and "Magician" Fors both had the urge to cover their faces with their hands.

The 'Hanged Man' nodded silently, as if to say 'This child is teachable'.

But in the end, Alger looked at Yu Jin again and asked, "Regarding the slave trade, I have recently found new clues. Mr. Lover, do you need to talk to me in private?"

"Need not."

Yu Jin shook his head. He didn't think this was something that needed to be kept secret.

"it is good."

Alger nodded and continued, "Regarding the slave trade related to the 'Mad Captain', I can confirm that it has been going on for at least three years. During these three years, many indigenous tribes in the southern continent have been looted and all their people have been kidnapped."

"Even in various plantations and islands at sea, a large number of slaves have inexplicably 'escaped'. Some good people have counted these missing people, and the number is at least millions!"

Alger reiterated in a serious tone, "It's at least millions! You have to know that even if some primitive tribes are 'missing', no one will pay attention to them, and some people may even deliberately hide them. The real number is definitely higher than this, and I even suspect it may be more than double!"

"As for this situation, the Loen Kingdom has always been very lax. They conducted investigations, but each time they just brushed the matter aside. Until the last month, they suddenly claimed that these things were all done by the Aurora Society, and joined forces with other kingdoms to wipe out the Aurora Society in the southern continent."

"And in the process of clearing out the problem, a large number of people went missing."

Alger paused and warned, "A large number of indigenous people were plundered at a much higher frequency and on a larger scale than in the past three years! And the major kingdoms claimed that this behavior was a revenge act by the Aurora Society."

"At the same time, someone saw a large number of merchant ships heading to the southern continent on the Storm Sea. Judging from their route, their destination should be East Balam. But no one has seen any trace of these ships in any of the ports in East Balam. It was only afterwards that someone saw a large number of merchant ships heading to the Kingdom of Loen on the Storm Sea."

"Among these ships, someone recognized one of the escorting ships as the flagship of Vice Admiral Disease, the Black Death. And some of those merchant ships were also recognized as belonging to notorious human traffickers."

"Of course, the person who saw all this was undoubtedly hunted down. But he was extremely lucky to have found a special route in the violent sea and successfully escaped. He then spread the information widely afterwards."

"..."

Klein's expression twitched. Although the Aurora Society was a cult, it was a bit too abstract to put all the blame on the Aurora Society... What? You said these were all things the Aurora Society had done?

Oh, that's okay.

However, judging from the current situation, the Kingdom of Loen was probably in a hurry. Although they had plundered millions of slaves, compared to the huge project of excavating and repairing nine mausoleums, these people alone were far from enough.

In the past, with the help of the Aurora Society, slaves could be transported very conveniently and secretly with the help of the painting world, resulting in almost no one finding many clues.

But now that the middleman, the "Mad Captain", has been killed and the painting world has been destroyed, the Kingdom of Loen has lost the means to secretly transport slaves, and can only use the excuse of clearing out the Aurora Society to plunder the population and make the last hammer deal.

But without the help of the painting world, large-scale slave transportation would inevitably arouse suspicion. Of course, the Kingdom of Loen was not stupid. Even if these "merchant ships" or slave ships arrived in East Balam, they would definitely go through private ports.

This is why many slave ships were seen heading to East Balam, but none of them were seen entering the dock at any port.

However, in this case, the spearhead would inevitably point to the Kingdom of Loen. Even if the power of the state machinery was used to cover it up, it would not be able to hide it for too long.

On the other hand, the sudden eagerness of the Kingdom of Loen for slaves was certainly due to problems in the painting world. But did this also mean that their goal was about to be achieved? Was the excavation and restoration of the nine mausoleums nearing completion?
When these mausoleums are completely restored, I am afraid George III will hold a ceremony to become a god, right? According to the current situation, this time will not be too short, otherwise there would not be so many slaves plundered, this is to speed up the progress. But similarly, this time will not be too long, otherwise there is no need to rush to speed up the progress.

"I see."

Yu Jin pondered for a moment and slowly said, "Thank you for the information you provided, but from now on, the investigation into the slave trade will be suspended. They should not continue to plunder people from the southern continent."

For Ember, now that he has learned of the Black Emperor's apotheosis ritual, the investigation of the slave trade seems less important.

"it is good."

Alger nodded without hesitation.

Although he didn't know as much information as Yu Jin and Klein, he actually thought so. After all, since the Kingdom of Loen had already begun to plunder the population on a large scale regardless of the risk of being exposed, it was highly likely that they would not do it again. Even if they continued to investigate, they would not get much information.

Klein glanced at the ember obscurely, thinking that if he didn't see it, he would let the World remind him. But it seemed that he didn't need to say anything.

……

117 Birningham Road, Hillston, Backlund.

Yu Jin opened his eyes, turned over and sat on the edge of the bed, his dark eyes were deep and vicissitudes, he was still thinking about the words of the "Fool" at the Tarot Club. Or rather, he started to think for the first time -

For the undead, obsession is the driving force that drives them forward and the reins that maintain their sanity.

The same goes for the embers.

Passing on the fire was his obsession, as natural as breathing. Just as he would not think about why he breathed for no reason, he would not think about why he wanted to pass on the fire.

But now, he suddenly realized a problem, what caused his obsession——

Onion Brother's obsession is to kill the 'Giant King' Youm, because this is his promise to Youm.

If Yum is killed, he will commit suicide in Yum's palace.

But if he fails to end his old friend's suffering himself, he will continue his journey because he has failed to complete his obsession.

Hillis's obsession is to kill her grandfather, because this is her promise to him.

Promise to kill him if he goes mad.

Igor's obsession is protection, because he promised to protect Saint Elena.

What about yourself?

Where does my obsession with passing on the fire come from?

Ember soon found the answer: to save everyone.

Everything seemed to make sense, yet it also seemed like a castle in the air with fatal loopholes.

"Perhaps, I should go to Lenburg."

Ember whispered to himself.

Lunburg, the headquarters of the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom.

The captain of the Golden Dream, Admiral Iceberg Edwina, once invited him to go to Lenburg, claiming that there might be the answers he had been looking for for a long time.

Although I don't know whether it's true or not, it's at least a possibility. Maybe I can really solve my confusion there.

The only problem is.

Lunburg does not border the Kingdom of Loen.

After being in this world for so long, Yu Jin has learned some history.

He knew that the world was not peaceful and that there were occasional unrest and wars between countries.

More than six hundred years ago, a war involving religion broke out in the southern Kingdom of Feynaport.

The southern Feynaport Kingdom originally believed in both the Mother Earth and the God of Knowledge and Wisdom, but due to some unknown factors, the two churches became seriously opposed, and conflicts often occurred between believers. It is said that the "unknown factor" that caused this turmoil was a certain item.

Its two northern neighbors, the Kingdom of Loen and the Kingdom of Intis at that time, seized this opportunity and started a war under the pretext of protecting freedom of belief. Later, the Feysac Empire joined in and tried to destroy the plots of Loen and Intis, but still failed to reverse the situation.

As a result of the war, the countries of Lunburg, Masi, and Segar, located at the border between Loen and Feynaport, and at the border between Intis and Feynaport, became independent and believed in the god of knowledge and wisdom, while only the Church of Mother Earth remained in the Kingdom of Feynaport.

Since both sides of the war accused each other of betraying the sacred oath at the end of the Fourth Era, this conflict, which lasted for five years, was also called the "War of Broken Oaths".

Perhaps because of their historical origins, the three countries have good relations with the Kingdom of Loen, and can even be considered an alliance. But unfortunately, Lunburg is located at the junction of southern Intis and Feynaport.

The shortest route from Loen Kingdom to Lunburg is to cross Ma Xi and Feynetport Kingdom. However, the relationship between Loen Kingdom and Feynetport Kingdom is not very good.

After all, the three kingdoms of Masi, Lunburg, and Segar were all split from the Kingdom of Feynaport due to the interference of the Kingdom of Loen.

Of course, he could also go to Lenburg from the Republic of Intis in the north. But although this would avoid the Feynaport Kingdom, it would also waste a lot of time.

Moreover, Yu Jin was not ready to go to Lunburg right now. Although seeking answers was important, he had no reason to let the Black Emperor go since he was right in front of him.

"The only question is, do I wait until George III becomes the Black Emperor?"

Ember was lost in thought. He left the house and came to the street.

Even without raising his head, he could still see the layers of magnificent palaces and the towering Gothic clock tower in the distance. That was the highest area in Backlund, and it was also where the Loen royal family was located.

Its status in the southern and northern continents and in the entire world is equal to or even slightly higher than that of the White Maple Palace in Intis and the Almir Palace in the Feysac Empire, but its name is neither romantic nor ancient.

It is called Thordrak Palace, and in the ancient Feysac language, this word means "balance".

And George III, there he was.

……

Queens, Sodrak Palace.

George III, wearing a crown, with a resolute face and a small moustache, sat on the throne, looking at the man below with cold eyes.

"You mean to say that not only can Celt not be rescued, but Quinas is also missing?"

"I think so, Your Majesty."

Prince Grove, who was wearing a suit, a cloak, and extremely long toe shoes, and his style was out of touch with the current era, smiled bitterly.

Even the two angels of the royal family were helpless against the scarlet curse that Celt had been hit by. They could only watch it grow stronger and stronger in Celt's body. Although it would not kill him for the time being, it was bound to happen sooner or later.

When he thought of this, a trace of fear and trepidation flashed in Grove's eyes.

You know, Celt is a demigod anyway! Even if he is only Sequence 4, he is already a demigod, and there is not much difference between him and Sequence 3!

Since the unknown scarlet curse could threaten Celt, it must be a threat to him as well!
Less than three months had passed, and Celt, who was once full of vigor and vitality, had been tortured beyond recognition. He was a demigod standing at the top of the extraordinary people, but now he couldn't even make a move!
Because every time he tried to use his strength, the curse in his body would grow stronger, and this would only bring him closer to death faster. But even so, the scarlet curse had already permeated his entire body, and he probably couldn't hold out for much longer.

Not to mention Qiunas, who was originally responsible for the slave trade work in conjunction with the Rose School. As a result, since he set out for the Sonia Sea two months ago, there has been no reply.

He disappeared quietly, as if he had never existed!
"Have you found out who did it?"

George III asked in a deep voice.

In just three months, two demigods belonging to the royal family had accidents one after another, which undoubtedly dealt a heavy blow to the power of the entire royal family. After all, the royal family had only cultivated a few demigods over the years.

Especially since the incident happened at this critical juncture, George III couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

"not yet."

Prince Grove's expression was somewhat bitter. "According to Celt, the ones who invaded Capin's villa that night were a werewolf and two ghosts. This looks like the work of the Rose School. We have captured many members of the Rose School hiding in Backlund, including a Sequence 7 werewolf."

"But no matter how we interrogate them, they know nothing about anything. They have no idea about the scarlet curse. Perhaps only the top leaders of the Rose School have the opportunity to learn this information, but the top leaders of the Rose School are not that easy to catch."

"As for Qonas, we don't even know whether he is dead or alive, let alone where to start investigating. After all, his voyages were secret, and even Amyrius doesn't know his whereabouts."

Amyrius Levit, Admiral, was the highest naval commander of the Kingdom in the Middle Sonia Sea. If Qiunas had sought his help when he went to the Sonia Sea, perhaps the situation would be completely different from what it is now.

But what he did was not allowed to be seen in public, and even the admiral was kept in the dark. So even if Qiunas asked the pirates for help, he would not ask for the help of Amyrius.

Even if he really asked the pirates for help, he would not reveal his identity to them. This undoubtedly provided a good cover for his actions, and no one could find any clues.

But at the moment, this has become a difficulty for the Loen royal family's investigation.

"Is there no good news at all?"

George III's voice was very light and his expression was extremely cold.

"Have."

Prince Grove immediately said, "Just a few days ago, a serial murder case in the Hillston District was solved, and the Sivellas Field announced to the public that the murderer was a wanted murderer. But in fact, the murderer was actually a demon dog."

"The person who killed it was a wild Beyonder passing by. The Night Watchmen of the Church of Evernight immediately sealed off the scene, and the body was also obtained by the Church of Evernight. However, the Beyonder of MI9 caught a glimpse of the demon dog's full appearance, and there was also a scarlet substance attached to its body."

"And in the spiritual communication, it was discovered that it was a dog that killed the demon dog. And according to subsequent investigations, a werewolf was seen nearby that night."

After a pause, Prince Grove said solemnly, "We suspect that the people who attacked this time are the same group of people as those who attacked Capin Villa. MI9 is ​​already investigating the identity of the werewolf, and I believe there will be results soon."

"be quick!"

George III nodded slightly and ordered, "We must get ahead of the Night Watchmen and not let the people of the Church of Night find out."

"clear."

Prince Grove said solemnly, "I will do it myself!"

He knew that George III was referring to the diaries and letters in the Capin Villa, and that the exposure of the contents would bring shame to the royal family. So they had to catch these Rose School rats before the Church of Night and destroy the stolen documents in time.

However, there was also a hint of confusion in Prince Grove's eyes.

The case of Kapin's villa is still shrouded in mystery. They have no idea why Kapin was murdered. They can only roughly guess that Kapin accidentally offended the people of the Rose School and was killed.

Otherwise, this cannot explain why the other party did not cause trouble for the royal family after obtaining the royal family's dirty laundry.

If the Orthodox Church got these, they would come to confront the royal family. If those wild secret organizations got these dirty tricks, they would also take the opportunity to blackmail the royal family.

But the Rose School did nothing, as if they had never received any of the dirt. This really puzzled Prince Grove, and in the end he could only blame the Rose School for being crazy. Crazy people always have different ideas from ordinary people, so it was normal for him not to understand.

"His Majesty."

Prince Grove thought about it, then asked hesitantly, "How should the Aurora Society deal with this?"

George III glanced at him but did not answer, instead falling silent.

Originally, their plan had nothing to do with the Aurora Society, but the Aurora Society happened to have a painting world that could make their plan more covert. Considering the complexity and meticulousness of the plan itself, the royal family finally chose to cooperate with the Aurora Society.

However, they had never let the Aurora Society get too deeply involved in this plan. First, the Aurora Society members were all crazy, and they did not trust each other. Second, letting the Aurora Society get too deeply involved might also cause misunderstandings from the Witch Cult. Compared to the crazy people in the Aurora Society, the Witch Cult was obviously much more reliable.

That's why the royal family deliberately let the witch sect join in the slave trade. On the one hand, it can check and balance the Aurora Society, and on the other hand, it can also show their trust in the witch sect.

But now it was different, their slave trade network suffered a series of blows. First there was a problem with Kapin at the sales end, then there was the mad captain in the middle, and even the demigod Qonas Kilger who was in charge of it all.

However, at this point, the impact is not particularly large. As long as the Aurora Association is willing to continue to lend the painting world, the trade network can be restored in a short period of time.

But the Aurora Society strongly opposed it, claiming that they no longer had any extra painting worlds. And whether it was true or not, the royal family had no choice but to believe it.

At this point, I thought the Aurora Club would withdraw, but I didn't expect that this group of lunatics wanted to cooperate in depth. They knew about the existence of the ruins from somewhere, and even asked them to help the royal family excavate the ruins. As a result, the royal family was suddenly caught in a dilemma.

Let's cooperate. We are worried about the crazy people in Aurora Society and they might do something secretly.

If we don't cooperate, we will be even more worried about those crazy people in the Aurora Society. They will definitely cause trouble if they are rejected!

But since they chose to cooperate with the madman, this is the inevitable consequence.

"We can't let them enter the ruins."

George III said in a deep voice, "But don't anger them. Find something for the Aurora Society to do, anything! Don't they want their god to come? Promise them! Just tell them it will take time and let them wait patiently!"

"it is good."

Prince Grove nodded without hesitation.

The advent ceremony of the True Creator was not a secret, but it required a great deal of pessimism, despair, numbness, resentment, and primitive evil. Only Backlund, the East District, the Factory District, and the Dock District could satisfy His requirements.

This process will inevitably lead to the death of a large number of people. But compared with the royal family's carefully prepared deification ceremony, this little thing is not worth mentioning! In other words -

This is a necessary sacrifice.

……

"He can't become a god."

The tall lady with long chestnut hair stood in front of the window and spoke in a soft but emotionless tone.

Her eyes were blue and deep, like the condensation of an ocean. She had outstanding beauty, but it was not this that attracted the most attention. The dignity that naturally emanated from her behavior and the temperament of a big shot who had been in a high position for a long time were more impressive.

The lady looked up at the sky, where there was a blazing sun setting in the west, which was extremely rare in Backlund, which was shrouded in fog. But the night had not yet fallen, but in her sight, she could still see the bright blue full moon.

"He can't become a god!"

As if to emphasize to someone, the lady repeated, "At least it can't be the Black Emperor. I will stop it, even if it takes all my strength!"
