Secret: The undead do not die in the fire

Chapter 334 Don’t put everything in!

5 month 13 day.

In the outskirts of Backlund's northern district, in a vast manor.

This manor, which is usually extremely deserted, gathered a large number of guests on this day.

These guests came from different places, some from the south of the Kingdom of Loen, some from the Republic of Intis, and even from the Feynaport Kingdom further south. Most of them arrived here from different places a few days or even a week in advance.

Because without exception they all have the blood of Abraham's family, and tonight is the night of the full moon.

In the large meeting room on the second floor of the manor, Dorian Gray Abraham and other Abraham executives took their seats.

Most of them are over 30 years old and are the heads of various small families of the Abraham family. They are all members of the Abraham family who know the secrets of the Abraham family, possess different seals, and can "travel".

In fact, they were full of doubts about this sudden meeting.

Because in the past, the dinner was held directly at the manor, and anything could be discussed during the dinner. But for some reason, Miss Fors Wall announced very seriously that she had something important to discuss.

Verdu Abraham, who was wearing gold-rimmed glasses and looked like a university professor, suddenly asked:
"Dorian, do you know what happened?"

This instantly focused the attention of the other members on Dorian. After all, unlike them who were in different parts of the world, Dorian originally lived in Pritz Harbor, which was only a few hours' drive from Backlund.

And during this period of time, Dorian has been responsible for the communication between Fors and the Abraham family.

If there was something really big going on, Dorian would be the first to know about it.

But to the disappointment of others, Dorian just shook his head and said helplessly:

"I am completely confused myself."

This situation made the members of the Abraham family more and more confused, but before they could whisper, a sound suddenly came from the door of the meeting room.

click!
The clear sound of the door opening made everyone in the conference room look over at the same time. A lady with slightly curly brown hair, light blue eyes, and wearing a beige stand-up collar dress slowly walked in.

The members of the Abraham family waited quietly for Fors to walk to the main seat. Dorian then asked:
"Ms. Fors, you are in a hurry to find us. Is there something urgent?"

"Yes."

After hearing this, Fors's expression became more serious, which also made the members of the Abraham family feel solemn.

Fors looked around and said seriously:

"Starting from this month, I should no longer need to provide you with treatment."

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the conference room. Verdu was the first to stand up and said in a deep voice:
"Ms. Fors, what do you mean? Do you think the conditions offered by the Abraham family are not enough?"

Dorian stood up hastily and said:

"Ms. Fors, is there any misunderstanding here? If you have any other requests, you can tell us."

"Eh?"

Fors was stunned for a moment, then quickly realized that both parties seemed to have misunderstood each other, and explained:
"No, that's not what I meant. I meant that you no longer need my 'treatment', right?"

The conference room fell silent, even Verdu was silent. 'I don't need to provide treatment for you anymore' and 'you don't need my treatment' sounded like the same thing, but their meanings were completely different.

But for the members of Abraham's family who were suffering from the curse, how could they no longer need treatment?

Dorian couldn't help but smile bitterly:

"Ms. Fors, you might as well make your words clearer."

He has realized that there is a problem of understanding between the two parties, or that the communication is not in place.

But this matter really cannot be blamed on Verdu's impulsiveness. After all, anyone who heard those words would misunderstand.

Fors looked at Dorian's blank and bitter smile and couldn't help but feel a little surprised:

“Didn’t He tell you?”

"Him?"

Verdu and Dorian were both shocked. Even a demigod was not qualified to address someone as "Him". This "Him" referred to an angel!
But who is 'Him'?
Dorian wanted to ask Fors, but he found that the other party's eyes were always looking at the end of the conference table.

This made Dorian look in the direction she was looking, and he discovered that there was a strange figure sitting at the end of the conference room!

He was a middle-aged man with an ordinary and old-fashioned face. His hair was empty black with a few white hairs, and he had a pair of rippling blue eyes. His overall image was like a vampire duke in folk legends.

They didn't know when the other party showed up, and they didn't notice the other party's presence from beginning to end. If Fors hadn't reminded them, they probably wouldn't have noticed that there was an extra person there until the end of the meeting!

Dorian subconsciously wanted to ask about the other party's identity. Fors asked in a somewhat strange tone:

"Mr. Bethel, didn't you tell them?"

The middle-aged man called Bethel shook his head slightly:
"I thought you were going to tell them."

Fors blinked. Did he mean that none of them had actually greeted the members of the Abraham family, which led to the misunderstanding?
Mr. Bethel thought that she would tell the Abraham family after contacting them, and she saw Mr. Bethel sitting in the meeting room, so she mistakenly believed that the members of the Abraham family already knew the truth...

So, this is a misunderstanding caused by lack of communication!
"Bethel?"

Verdu suddenly turned his head to look at the middle-aged man, carefully sizing up his appearance, pointed at him tremblingly, and said in a lost voice:

"Are you the Bethel ancestor?!"

Dorian's pupils shrank slightly, and he was obviously a little bit unbelievable.

Bethel Abraham, the ancestor of the Abraham family, is known as the closest being to God in the Quaternary Period!

When the ancestor was still alive, the Abraham family was the top noble family in the Fourth Epoch!

At that time, whether it was the Augustus family of Loen, the Einhorn family of Feysac, the Soren family of Intis, or the Castilla family of Feynaport, they could only look up to them, even though they were angel families at that time!

Even the Antigonus family and the Zaratu family mentioned in the legends are not as good as their Abraham family!
However, in the War of the Four Emperors, the ancestor Bethel disappeared in the war fought by the gods themselves, and the remaining high-sequence powerhouses all perished, and the glory of the Abraham family also disappeared.

Since then, the Abraham family has been under a terrible curse. Generation after generation of ancestors who tried to revive the family have all gone mad and lost control. Some of them are before becoming High-Sequence Powerhouses, while others are still at Sequence 8 or Sequence 7.

And now, a strange middle-aged man suddenly appeared and said he was Bethel. Does this make sense?
The middle-aged man saw the disbelief on the faces of his descendants, and sighed in his heart, but a gentle smile appeared on his face, and he said softly:

"If there is no second person named Bethel in the family of Abraham, then you should be talking about me."

Verdu immediately showed an ecstatic expression, but at this time other members of the Abraham family could not help but speak out:
"But you clearly disappeared during the Four Emperors' War. Why did you suddenly appear?"

Bethel Abraham, who was suspected, was not annoyed, but smiled and said:

"To be precise, I was exiled by the night and the storm."

"Although I was not a god at that time, even real gods could hardly kill me. In terms of teleportation, even gods are not as good as me. So even if the night and the storm joined forces, all they could do was exile me." Verdu was extremely excited and asked impatiently:

"In other words, you came back this time to lift our curse?"

Bethel looked at the eager eyes of his descendants, fell silent, and slowly said:

"In fact, your curse originates from me."

The meeting room suddenly became quiet, and Bethel continued to speak softly:

"During the time of exile, I was contaminated by certain beings and uncontrollably asked for help from this world. And as my descendants, you who share the same blood, also received the call for help from the outer space."

Dorian opened his mouth, but no sound came out.

Even Verdu, who had been excited, looked a little dull at this moment.

and so.

The "curse" that has troubled Abraham's family for thousands of years and caused generation after generation of Abraham's descendants to lose control, and the "mumbling" that originated from the full-moon night, are actually their ancestor's cries for help?
Pain, confusion, sorrow, helplessness, disbelief, all kinds of complex emotions brewed in their hearts, making them not know what attitude to use to face this ancestor.

It was Bethel Abraham that brought glory to the family of Abraham. Without their ancestors, the family of Abraham would be nothing.

But at the same time, it was Bethel Abraham who caused the defeat of the Abraham family. Even breaking through to the middle sequence became a luxury for the family members. They had to leave their original angel family and become like a stray dog, betrayed and hunted by their own apprentices.

It was like a bad joke from fate.

Dorian didn't know what the ancestors' attitude was towards the consequences he had caused. Was it disdain? Guilt? Or did they just never take it to heart?

He didn't know how to describe his complicated feelings. Could he blame his ancestors?

Obviously not.

It was He who brought all the glory to Abraham's family, so it was only right for Him to take it all away.

If Abraham's family had not been too weak, if they had not even had a demigod for thousands of years, and if they could not understand the cries for help from their ancestors and only thought they were the mumbling and curses from an unknown existence, how could things have developed like this?

If they were not too weak, perhaps their ancestors would have returned thousands of years ago. How could Abraham's family have become what it is now?
Looking at the silent descendants, Bethel Abraham whispered:
"Feel sorry."

"No!"

Verdu said excitedly:

"Ancestor, there is no need to apologize to us! The fact that you can appear here now means that you have escaped from the predicament, right? Thousands of years ago, you were already the angel closest to God. So, have you become a god now? If so, the Abraham family can rise again under your leadership!"

Facing the future described by his descendants, Bethel shook his head helplessly:

“I’m sorry to disappoint you. I’m no longer a god, nor am I the Angel King I once was. I’m just a Sequence 2 Angel.”

Dorian couldn't help asking:

"Why is this happening?"

Compared to the frustration of his descendants, Bethel Abraham smiled nonchalantly:
"I was able to come back from outer space and escape from pollution, but there must be some price to pay."

He originally thought that he was doomed to die, and he had no regrets about it - at least compared to being controlled by the Outer Gods, dying together with the Outer Gods was a good ending, and it was worth his uncompromising struggle for thousands of years.

And now, not only has He survived, He has even been allowed to retain the power of an angel. This is already the best outcome.

Although He completely lost the opportunity to become God, Bethel still enjoyed it.

Verdu still did not give up and asked hopefully:
"Even if you are just an angel, you can lead the family to prosperity again, right?"

Bethel looked at his descendants and nodded slowly and firmly:
"of course."

160 Böklund Street, North District.

In the living room, Klein looked a little surprised and said in astonishment:

"You didn't kill Him?"

Yu Jin took a sip of the red wine casually and said:

"From a personal perspective, I actually admire Him. Thousands of years of torture did not make Him give up resistance. Even when he knew he would die, he did not choose to cooperate with the enemy and become a guide."

"On the other hand, I have no reason to kill him, right? All I need is the Beyonder characteristics and uniqueness of a Sequence 1. If he is willing to give up all of this, then letting him live would not be a bad thing."

Klein sighed and said:

"Indeed, you can get an angel for free."

Every true god has at least one angel serving him, for example, the Triple Crowners of the major Orthodox Churches are angels. In addition, there are special angels like the head of the thirteen archbishops of the Church of Night, the ascetic Arianna - the Church of Night is like this, and there is no reason why other churches are not the same.

That is to say, every righteous god has at least two angels under him.

In an age when gods cannot walk the mortal world, the number of these angels directly determines the amount of say they have in this world.

If the god is alone, without any angels, then there might not even be anyone to preach to him. If the god falls into a deep sleep due to some misfortune during the process of becoming a god, there might even be a lack of anchor points due to no one preaching to him, leading to loss of control and madness.

Yu Jin took a sip of wine and said leisurely:

"It's free, but it's not me who's free."

Klein was startled:
"What do you mean?"

Yu Jin said slowly:
"My requirement for resurrecting Bethel is that he lead the family of Abraham to believe in the 'Fool'."

Klein had a strange expression on his face. Why were all these things being stuffed into his mouth?
Well, it's not like he couldn't accept it though.

"However, you should focus on another thing now."

"what?"

Klein was stunned for a moment, feeling a little strange.

His advancement in the sequence has been progressing steadily, and the construction of the Tarot Club has also been completed.

Is there anything else that needs attention?
Yu Jin said slowly:
"war."

Klein's face slightly changed, and his heart suddenly shuddered.

war.
