Secret: The undead do not die in the fire

Chapter 277 What do the fireless ashes desire?
"So, what are you thinking about?"

Yu Jin looked at Soren Einhorn Medici, who was already caught up in the internal strife, and asked leisurely.

"not so good!"

Medici refuted:

"How could our thousand-year friendship be shaken by your tiny interests?"

A voice sounded faintly:
“In fact, I think it’s not impossible to give it a try.”

"Einhorn!"

Medici shouted angrily.

Another voice sounded, mockingly:
"Brotherhood? Do you think there's anything like that between us?!"

The previous voice sounded again:

"But he's right about one thing, the benefits aren't enough!"

Just one body is not enough to break their unbreakable alliance, it will take at least one body for each person!
Otherwise, how can three people be divided into two bodies?
Is it possible that there are two people squeezed into the same body?

impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
The three of them are absolute mortal enemies, and no two of them can live in peace.

Three people in one body, barely able to maintain a fragile balance.

But if there are only two people left, this balance will be broken.

One party will occupy an absolute dominant position, while the suppressed party will even be deprived of the right to think.

of course.

Where there are pros, there are cons, and vice versa.

The two people remaining in the body will be unable to maintain balance, resulting in one of them being completely suppressed.

But on the other hand, the person who leaves can gain true freedom.

Even though they knew that this was a trick of Ember to sow discord, Soran and Einhorn might not be unmoved.

The reason why they are still hesitating is simply because they lack trust in Yu Jin and are not sure whether Yu Jin can do what he promised. In addition, they also want to gain more benefits.

For example, one person has one body.

The three of them have been together for a thousand years, and even though they have learned to live in peace, they still hate each other deep down.

If it can be separated completely, no one will object.

Yu Jin was unmoved, raised a finger and said calmly:
"Only one."

"You only have one chance."

"Tsk."

Medici sneered, "You are still as arrogant as before. Do you really think you can defeat us?"

"if not?"

Yu Jin smiled and spread out his right hand, with a burning flame in his palm.

The moment he saw the flame, Medici's expression changed drastically!

At this moment, he was like a prey encountering its natural enemy, and he almost instinctively wanted to escape.

But the moment this thought came to his mind, he found that he had lost control of his body!

Medici said angrily:

"You two idiots, stop dragging your feet at a time like this!"

Soran said in a low voice:

"Not us! We can't move!"

Medici's pupils shrank sharply, as if he suddenly realized something.

And at this time.

The ember holding the flame was approaching them step by step.

Yu Jin walked up to the tall black knight in armor and asked:

"Do you know what the Black Knight is?"

"How would I know if you didn't tell me?"

Even when he was in danger, Medici remained stubborn and spoke in a sarcastic tone.

Yu Jin did not care about his ridicule and narrated calmly:

"They followed Gwyn, the First Lord of Fire, and passed on the fire, but they themselves were burned."

"Since then, there has been no more Gwyn the Sun King, nor Gwyn the First Cinder King. The only one who exists in the world is Gwyn the Black Cinder King, who was enslaved by the First Flame."

"The same goes for the Black Knights. They were buried in the First Fire and have long lost their freedom."

"They turned into ashes and continue to wander the world."

"In essence, they are the same as Gwyn, the Lord of the Cinders. They are servants enslaved by the First Flame."

"So just like the undead who turned into embers, the Black Knight also instinctively longs for fire."

As Ember narrated calmly, the Black Knight slowly stretched out his hand, and with a kind of desire and greed that was difficult for ordinary people to understand, he tried to touch the flame in Ember's hand.

Medici was so angry that his eyes went dark. What kind of crappy body did he find?

Weren't you very happy when you took over this body?
Shut up! Think about what to do now!
what to do? Salad!

Can you resist him or escape?

Even though his life was hanging by a thread, Medici was still torn between his conscience and his desires.

There are three consciousnesses living in one body, and they are mortal enemies. This quarrel is meaningless but inevitable.

Seeing the Black Knight about to touch the flame, Medici, who had been watching this scene, almost popped out his eyes and said hurriedly:
"Stop! Stop!"

"Can't you separate us? I choose first! Separate me first!"

"Medici, I knew you would betray us!"

"If you have to choose, choose me first! Medici and I are enemies, and Medici and you are enemies. Rounding it off, you and I are friends! Even if you have to choose, you will definitely choose your friends first, right?"

"I have the worst relationship with Medici, so I am not your best friend!"

"Shut up!"

Medici shouted angrily, "You two idiots!"

"I'm just deceiving him. Do you think I will really join this guy?"

The Black Knight was silent for a while, until a faint voice sounded:
"No way?"

"How dare you doubt my loyalty to the Lord!"

"Loyalty? What good has your loyalty brought you?"

"You devote everything to the true Creator, and are ordered around like a dog, but He is reluctant to even reward you with a bone to chew. I really don't know what the meaning of such loyalty is."

“Loyalty doesn’t need a reward, because loyalty itself is the reward!”

"Oh, you can fool us, but just don't fool yourself."

"Shut up!"

Veins popped out on Medici's forehead. He hated it most when someone doubted his loyalty!
Yu Jin listened to the quarrel between the three people and thought:
"It seems you don't want to be separated."

Medici immediately changed the subject:
"No! I want to!"

Yu Jin chuckled:
"Are you sure? Shinzo and I aren't exactly friends."

Medici said without hesitation:

"But we are not enemies either. I think my Lord and you should get along fairly well."

"Harmony?" Yu Jin said with a hint of surprise:

"You will have contact with Aurora?"

Medici said as a matter of course:
"Isn't this reasonable? I just got out of trouble and want to get in touch with the Lord. Of course I have to contact an organization that believes in the Lord."

Ember nodded:
"It does make sense."

The Aurora Society is not some ancient secret organization, but a new organization that has only emerged within the past one or two hundred years.

In terms of time span alone, the 'Aurora Society' is not much older than secret organizations such as the 'Iron Cross', 'Elemental Dawn', and 'Psychological Alchemy Society'.

But after all, with the support of a Sequence 0 True God, the Aurora Society can develop much faster than most organizations.

Medici died more than a thousand years ago, so it is unlikely that he would have anything to do with the Aurora.

of course.

This does not mean that there were no organizations that believed in a true Creator more than a thousand years ago.

But the real creator at that time did not have to hide from place to place like he does now. The real creator at that time successfully established himself in the Northern Continent by supporting the Black Emperor Solomon to establish the First Solomon Empire. The real creator at that time was the orthodox belief of the Northern Continent.

To put it bluntly, the six gods at that time might have been the "evil gods".

Even in the era of the United Empire, the True Creator could still barely stand up to the Six Gods.

It was not until the Black Iron Age that He was completely expelled from the Northern Continent and could only survive in the God-forsaken Land.

That is, until the Fifth Age.

The belief in the True Creator is still the mainstream in the Northern Continent, and the number of believers is not much less than that of the Six Gods Church. However, since the Fifth Epoch, under the constant suppression of the Six Gods, the belief in the True Creator has almost disappeared.

And during these thousand years or so, the True Creator must have privately developed more than one or two organizations.

However, most of these secret organizations were completely wiped out by the Church of the Seven Gods. Only the Aurora Society and the Iron Cross Society were able to survive the siege of the Church of the Seven Gods.

Leaving aside the Iron Cross, the Aurora Society is definitely the most famous secret organization that believes in the true Creator, bar none.

Medici, who had just escaped, contacted the Aurora Society in order to get in touch with the real creator.

Theoretically, this is indeed a very reasonable thing.

But precisely because it is reasonable, it is unreasonable.

To the true Creator, Medici had been dead for thousands of years, and his body was sealed in the God-forsaken Land, so he was unable to take care of a dead subordinate.

But for Medici, he was trapped in the place where he died for thousands of years, and the real creator had no intention of sending someone to take a look. Could he really have no resentment in his heart?
If he really had no resentment, why would he be so angry and embarrassed by the ridicule of Soran and Einhorn while saying "Loyalty does not need to be rewarded, because loyalty itself is the reward"?

And if Medici had any resentment, how could he contact the real creator as soon as he escaped?

Moreover, didn't he have any suspicion that his escape was a conspiracy?

After being trapped for thousands of years, a black can suddenly rushed in, as if it was eager to deliver a physical body to him.

No matter how dumb Medici was, he could guess that there was something unusual behind this.

For a conspirator, the natural thing to do after escaping the predicament is to lie dormant, rather than announcing his return to the world in a high-profile manner. So why would he contact the Aurora Society, and why would he break into the Chanis Gate under the Saint Samuel Church alone and steal a notebook that has nothing to do with the path he is in?

If you only look at the surface, Medici's explanation is absolutely reasonable.

But if you think about it carefully, you will find that this seemingly reasonable explanation is actually full of loopholes!

How could a man who was unwilling to even tell the truth convince Yu Jin that he was truly willing to surrender?

Medici could explain his behavior by his loyalty to Zhenzao, but although Soren and Einhorn had been mocking Medici, they still failed to provide any useful information and seemed to be in no hurry to gain Yujin's trust.

This means that they either look down on the conditions offered by Yu Jin, or everything they did before was just acting.

Either they have some concerns, or someone has offered them a higher reward!

If that’s the case, then why are they still acting with me here?

Yu Jin suddenly asked:

"You guys are stalling for time, right?"

Medici's expression froze. He used the helmet to hide his expression so that Yu Jin couldn't see it clearly. He said nonchalantly:
"What delay?"

Yu Jin ignored him, looked around, and analyzed:
"You have an accomplice? What are you waiting for? For him to steal something from here?"

Before Medici could deny it, Yu Jin himself denied his own guess:
"No, you're not that noble."

"A conspirator will not sacrifice himself for the benefit of others, even your Lord."

Medici didn't hear any sarcasm in Yu Jin's tone; he really seemed to be just calmly analyzing the facts.

But even so, this still made Medici look a little ugly.

A glimmer of understanding flashed across Yu Jin's eyes, as if he had realized something:

"So, you're waiting for him to help you out?"

"You seem to have high expectations for him. Is he very capable?"

"Although your current strength is less than one ten-thousandth of that, and it is very difficult for you to even deal with a saint. But after all, you were once the King of Angels, and you also have the status of a Trinity Angel."

"You have high expectations for his strength, so the one who came is another Angel King?"

Medici did not rush to refute because this would only reveal his true thoughts.

He was just silent, and only silent.

"Strength alone is not enough."

Yu Jin was not surprised to see Medici silent, and then he spoke:

"He, or rather, "He" and you should be old acquaintances. There is at least the most basic trust between you two."

"Then, this person is most likely the former Angel King."

"Except the three who betrayed us, there are still five Angel Kings."

Yu Jin paused for a moment, and his tone became a little surprised:

"So, it's Ouroboros, right? You really got in touch with the true creator?"

Medici neither admitted nor denied it, but asked:
"Why can't it be Amon?"

Ember smiled:
"Amon? I don't think he dares to come."

"really."

Medici nodded in agreement and said disdainfully:
"Even if he comes, it will only be a clone. Its strength will not exceed Sequence 4 at most, so it will not be able to play any role. No, he won't even send a clone. After all, he is afraid that people will find his real body through the clone."

Yu Jin did not continue the conversation, but asked:

"So, where is Ouroboros?"

Medici asked in return:

"Do you think I would tell you?"

"will not."

Yu Jin answered straightforwardly, but soon smiled and said:
"Then why do you think I asked?"

Medici was slightly stunned, and then his expression changed slightly.

He knew that he couldn't tell the answer, but he still kept asking him for the answer.

He knew that he was stalling for time, but he still took his time without rushing.

This shows that the other party is fearless!
He was confident that he could get the answer from himself, and he was also confident that it would not matter even if he wasted more time!
"you……"

Medici was a little panicked and was about to speak.

But the ember didn't give him a chance, instead he thrust the flames directly into the black knight's chest.

The fireless ashes once again saw the flames.
