Secret: The undead do not die in the fire

"what do you want to say in the end?"

Medici repeated, staring intently at the embers.

He didn't think Yu Jin would be that boring, and he said all this simply to stimulate him.

He had clearly taken control of this body and was fully capable of killing them, but they didn't do so.

Instead, he uses exclamations and mockery to unravel the changes in his mentality over the past thousand years.

This is something that his two mortal enemies, who have merged with him for thousands of years, cannot do.

The only thing that made Medici feel fortunate was that there were not many outsiders here.

Although it is embarrassing, it is not completely shameful.

Even though these people knew him inside and out, it wouldn't be too embarrassing for him to be exposed now.

At least Soran and Einhorn were sensible enough not to mock him at this time. This was certainly not because they had a change of heart, but simply because they were now a trinity.

And the embers.

Medici found that he could not see through Yu Jin at all.

Whether it was the first meeting thousands of years ago, or the inappropriate meeting again inside the Chanis Gate now, it seemed as if it was shrouded in a fog, making Medici alert.

After all, even the Lord is extremely afraid of him, which is enough to show how terrifying this man is.

What puzzled Medici the most was why such a person had never left any trace in the past thousands of years?

The other party suddenly appeared at the end of the Second Age, and when they were still weak, they and the Lord made some unknown plans in the Silver Country. This also means that the other party's status at that time was already equal to that of the Lord.

But such a person suddenly disappeared after that.

Medici never saw him again, nor did he see the blonde girl who had been with him at the time.

On the contrary, the inconspicuous boy named Alan Hermes, who hated being called Allen, learned a lot from the Lord. Although he could not become the Lord's Angel King like him, he was also one of the strongest angels under the Angel King.

Moreover, the Hermes script created by the other party also laid the foundation for the comprehensive rise of mankind...

Logically speaking.

Of all the events that have occurred over the past thousands of years, the one that happened in the Silver Country had the least impact—

Although Medici still doesn't know what happened that time.

But what is certain is that what happened in the Silver Kingdom is definitely not ranked among the major events that have taken place in thousands of years.

Whether it was the betrayal of Leodero and his men, or the Lord's cooperation with the Black Emperor Solomon to establish the Solomon Empire, or the betrayal of the Black Emperor by Tudor and Trunsoste, and the War of the Four Emperors and the War of Forsaken Oaths that took place after his death...

Any single incident involves more than one or even two-digit gods.

In comparison, the 'mistakes' made by the ancient sun god in his youth seem insignificant.

But the ashes have completely disappeared in these thousands of years, as if they had never existed.

Medici once tried to trace the traces of his existence, but soon gave up the struggle, because compared with a person who only left a short-term impact, current events were more worthy of his attention.

But now that the ember had reappeared, Medici suddenly changed his previous opinion.

This person is definitely not an insignificant little character!
The disappearance over the past thousands of years might have been part of the other party's plan!

Just like his sudden appearance now.

In just a moment, countless speculations flashed through Medici's mind.

However, Yu Jin just looked at him calmly and said briefly:

"Let's cooperate."

"cooperate?"

Medici narrowed his eyes. You have been planning this for so long, even recounting his life in a mocking and joking manner, and in the end, you just say cooperation so lightly?
"I reject!"

Medici sneered, sternly rejected it in his heart, but remained calm on the surface, sneering:

"How do you want to cooperate? Give me the body of the Mother of Heaven?"

Ember asked back:
“Do you think this is realistic?”

"It's not realistic." Medici said frankly.

This is of course unrealistic. How could an owner catch a thief breaking into his safe and not only not call the police, but instead take the initiative to hand over the cash in the safe to the thief, or even politely send the thief away?
Isn't this purely rare?
Yu Jin patted Medici's shoulder:

"Then let's talk about something realistic."

Medici felt that he understood the other party's subtext, and asked in cooperation:

"Then what do you want?"

“The answer is not what I want, but what you have.”

Medici frowned, these words made him even more confused.

What can he have?
He is the soul of a king who has been dead for a thousand years, and even his body was donated by others. What can he give you?
Even though he was once the king of angels, he is nothing compared to the true God.

What Medici was most proud of was his loyalty.

Does the other party want him to be loyal?
This is impossible!

What's more, even if he really offered his loyalty, the other party might not accept it.

Medici was sure that even if he broke his sword, knelt on one knee and shouted "I will be loyal to you" like the ancient knights, the other party would definitely not accept it, but would mock him again.

As a former 'conspirator', Medici has never hesitated to speculate about others with the greatest malice!

To sum up, Medici quickly thought of the answer -

The other party was not asking about him, but the real creator behind him!
Medici was silent for a long time, then said:

"I can't make any promises for the Lord."

"It's ok."

Yu Jin seemed to have expected this and smiled:

"I never intended to let you make the decision. You just need to go back and convey a message to the True Creator."

"Convey what?"

Medici asked, he didn't want to die in vain.

Yu Jin said slowly:
"Just say, I want to meet him."

After a pause, Yu Jin continued:
"Well, meeting in person is more sincere."

"Sincerity..."

Medici's eyes twitched, and he said cautiously:
"I can pray to the Lord on your behalf, and it will still serve the purpose of communication. There will only be a delay of a few seconds at most."

"You should know my loyalty to the Lord. This kind of communication can be foolproof."

Although he didn't know why the other party, as the number one henchman of the Goddess of Night, wanted to communicate with the Lord, Medici instinctively suspected that the other party had bad intentions and met with the Lord perhaps just to assassinate her!
He then added:
"You know that the Lord is sealed in the God-forsaken Land. He cannot appear in the Northern Continent."

Yu Jin was not surprised by this and said calmly:

"It's okay. To show my sincerity, I will go to him in person."

"..."

Medici remained silent. He felt that the Lord would not want to accept this "good intention" sincerity.

After a long while, Medichi slowly spoke:

"I'll pass it on."

As soon as he finished speaking, Medici felt that he had regained control of his body, and the feeling of being frozen disappeared without a trace. Medici asked cautiously:
"Can I go?"

"Please."

Ember made a please gesture, indicating that he could do whatever he wanted.

Medici resisted the urge to take the black notebook and turned around to leave.

He left the room where the Antignus family notes were located and left the second underground floor without being stopped under the vigilant gaze of the guards inside.

Until he returned to the basement level, back to where the Chanis Gate was.

He was just about to leave when a figure suddenly appeared in front of him——

A figure wearing a hood and classical robes stood there.

She had a beautiful face but no expression, and her dark eyes were deep but lacked spirituality! Her deep pupils seemed to hide a pure darkness without light!

"Mother of Heaven!"

The other person's name immediately popped up in Medici's mind -

That is the Mother of Sky, the daughter of the ancient god Fregola, the only remaining descendant of the Destruction Wolf, and the purpose of his coming here!

As one of the most important seals in St. Samuel's Church, the location of the 'Mother of Heaven' has always been a mystery.

Even though Medici had already found out that the body was in Backlund, he didn't know exactly where it was.

I originally wanted to go in here and search slowly, but I was attracted by the notebook.

Just as he was about to pick it up to take a look, he was caught by the embers.

When he gave up this mission and was ready to leave, 'Mother of Heaven' came to him!
what is this?
Medici was stunned.

But the woman in front of him suddenly reached out her hand to him. At that moment, Medici's body trembled strangely and froze in place.

He saw his left hand disappearing centimeter by centimeter and spreading rapidly upwards, unable to be stopped.

His status is that of an angel, but his body is only that of a demigod, which makes him completely unable to resist the attack of an angel!

"Ourolus, save..."

Medici's pupils shrank and he screamed for help, but received no response.

His voice suddenly stopped, and the whole person was like a sketch that was quietly erased by an eraser without leaving any trace.

The candles hanging on the wall swayed a few times and soon returned to normal.

Darkness is the main color here.

The woman's figure disappeared quietly, as if she had never appeared.

The door behind her opened silently, and a figure passed through the gap without disturbing anyone, just like when He came.

Snapped!
The door closed again and everything returned to calm.
-
"Ouroboros, you sold me out again..."

As his thoughts began to resonate, Medici's eyes went dark and he completely lost consciousness, as if he had entered the deepest dreamless sleep.

He didn't know how long it had been, but the lightless and silent darkness suddenly shook, and he felt vaguely, as if a cold wind was blowing on him.

His thoughts gradually freed themselves from the solid state, and Medici slowly opened his eyes.

There was a fog above, and the scarlet moon was hidden in it, appearing and disappearing from time to time.

Gradually, he began to sense his body and heard the thumping sound of his heart.

Snapped!
Medici regained control of his body immediately and he suddenly turned over and stood up.

He took off the helmet decorated with double horns on his head, and as he walked, there was a slight clash of sounds between the gaps in the armor.

He squinted his eyes slightly and looked around to confirm his environment.

The surroundings were filled with dense fog and the deep, cold night, and not far away, there was a small town.

The most eye-catching building in the town is a very old-style spire church. It is completely black, has no bell tower, and black crows are circling around the top of the church.

There are many buildings scattered around the church, including ordinary two-story houses, simple wooden houses, and bakeries with signs hanging on them.

There is a gray-white mill powered by a water wheel, but there is no pedestrian, as if they have fallen asleep in the quiet and peaceful night.

"Tsk."

Medici's expression darkened. Before he could speak, a bloody cut suddenly appeared on his left cheek, and he made a sound:

"This is a trap. Are you still as stubborn as before?"

"Shut up."

Medici slapped himself impatiently and said calmly:

“This is all within my calculations.”

"Are you kidding me?"

A hideous bloody crack also appeared on his right cheek, and he taunted:
"Who was the one who just begged for help from the person he once looked down upon the most?"

Snapped!
Medici slapped himself again. Don't you know that when you scold someone, you should not expose their shortcomings? What an uneducated person!

Both hands were pressed tightly against his face, blocking his two mouths that had opened without permission.

But that obviously doesn't stop them.

A muffled voice came from under the palm:
"Are you stupid?"

Another voice mocked mercilessly:
"When did you develop the illusion that he wasn't an idiot?"

Medici was too lazy to pay attention to them and just squinted his eyes to observe the surrounding environment.

He knew something about the 'foggy town', which was a partial manifestation of the power of 'night'.

It can be said that some of the characteristics here correspond to the kingdom of the goddess of night.

To some extent, it can even be said that this is a smaller version of the Deep Dark Heaven, but it is more dangerous.

If the Dark Heaven is the paradise where the Goddess of Night rewards her loyal believers with a life of luxury, then this place is hell.

Even for an angel, this place is dangerous.

Thanks to the secrecy of the 'night', everything that happens here cannot be observed by the outside world.

No one knows what happened here, not even the gods.

The same reason.

Anyone's prayers here will be 'secret' and cannot be spread.

It can be said that once you are trapped here, you can basically just wait for death.

However, this is for ordinary people.

Medici is thinking about deeper issues -

The goddess of night did not kill him, but sent him here.

Does this mean that the other party wants to use her to achieve something?

So the question is, why would the other party ask him for help instead of Yu Jin?
Is it because there is some hidden danger here?
Or is there some secret that is inconvenient for Ember to know?
Medici chuckled and strode towards the strange town shrouded in fog without hesitation.

In the town, many doors of houses were still open, as if welcoming guests from foreign lands. Medici saw half-eaten white bread, glasses of red wine, messy silver knives and forks on the tables...

It looked like someone was enjoying dinner, but no one was there. The owners of the different houses seemed to have suddenly disappeared from life.

Medici did not stop and walked straight towards the towering church.
