Putting this question behind her, she asked:
"Mr. Neil, how are the children now?"
After that, she sighed and said to Old Neil with some dissatisfaction:
"I have a way to subdue her. It's too risky for you to recite the evil god's name... This is really too dangerous."
Klein glanced at Audrey and suddenly wondered what would happen when she knew that the evil god she spoke of was none other than her respected Mr. "White Tower".
Do you think the Fool and the "Hidden Sage" have joined forces?
"Aren't I afraid that something might happen to you... When I saw you actually walking towards that witch's place, I was so anxious. I didn't expect that your way would be the 'Secret Prayer'..." Old Neil muttered. , took the water glass handed over by Klein and took two sips: "Don't worry, Miss Hall. The children are all in the basement, they are safe there."
He smiled:
"I didn't tell anyone where the children were hiding. They're all fine. I wanted to seek help, but I ran into this witch."
"Ha! She's trying to torture me into telling me where I hid the children? How could I possibly be afraid of such a thing? Even the contamination of the Hidden Sage couldn't shake my faith."
Old Neil said with some pride, but it made the three people on the side somewhat silent.
"These witches are really haunting." After a moment, Leonard said angrily, obviously frightened by what Old Neil had just experienced.
"No matter what, take the children to the church first." Klein said, "We need to clear the flames here - forget it, I'll go down and use the Traveler's Door to send the children there."
Considering that it may be dangerous outside now, Klein is still going to open the door and send a few people over, so that they may encounter much less danger during the transfer.
After making this decision, he looked at Leonard:
"Have you contacted Archbishop Anthony?"
Leonard shook his head and answered Klein's question with a solemn expression:
"No."
"It's not just inside the church. I've tried every possible way to look for Archbishop Anthony, but I haven't found any trace of him."
Klein was silent for a moment: "My marionette will go with you and go back to the church first, so that even if the church is attacked, there will be someone to take care of it."
"This is the only way." Leonard suddenly whispered: "Klein, are you already..."
What he wanted to ask was whether Klein had been promoted to a Sequence 3 "Ancient Scholar".
"Yes."
Klein nodded and said nothing more:
"Let's not mention this for now. Now we need to see the church's next move. I have asked many people to come through the underground passage of the shelter, and then I will pick them up and bring them to the church's shelter."
"You have a chance to find Archbishop Anthony. The situation is urgent now. My body is looking for what the demons and witches in Backlund are doing. If necessary, you need to stop it."
"I see."
Leonard said solemnly: "Leave it to me, Klein."
Chapter 378 The Growing Tree
"It's Bishop Hall!" This was a child's somewhat joyful voice. Before he could finish the sentence, another child couldn't wait to ask Old Neil:
"Is it safe out there, Grandpa Neil?"
Looking at the children's fearful but hopeful eyes, Audrey took a deep breath and, after formulating her words, spoke:
"Wait a moment, children. The outside world hasn't returned to its normal safety yet. But fortunately, a member of the church—also my friend—is here. He will take you away from here and back to the church's headquarters in this city."
Audrey's tone paused for a moment, she showed a smile, and introduced to the children:
"This is Mr. Moriarty—ah, Archbishop Moriarty."
Before Audrey said this, she had already looked at Klein and asked for his opinion.
Facing Audrey's gaze, Klein slowly nodded. He could now be called the Archbishop, and there was no need for him to continue hiding his identity in front of these children.
Even further, as long as he completely digests this almost digested magic potion and enters the second sequence of being close to the gods, Klein will be an earthly angel of the Church of the Night, the Church of the Creator, and the Tarot Society. And it won't be too long until this day.
With the extraordinary characteristics of a Sequence 2 Planeswalker, Klein could be promoted to an angel in less than half a year.
Once he makes such a decision, he will have to face the will of Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun.
After Audrey introduced Klein to the children, her language gradually became fluent:
"He will send you back to the church. Now our church has been attacked by... heretics from the Church of God of War. The monastery cannot stay for the time being. It is very dangerous outside."
"You will pass through a light door later. After passing that light door, you will return to the church."
Listening to Audrey's words, one of the older children clenched his fists and asked Audrey with half concern and half worry:
"What about you, Bishop Hall? Are you ready to go back with us?"
"I won't go back - I will go outside to save people. There are many people in danger now." Audrey took a deep breath and recognized the child. She showed a gentle smile and said to the child: "Omar, you will protect your sister, right?"
Seeing Audrey's expression, the child showed a little timidity at first, then mustered up the courage to say to the bishop in front of him:
"I will." He looked at Audrey, his expression as resolute as a little knight: "Our home was destroyed by a bomb... I won't let anything happen to my sister again, I swear (Note 1)"
He held his sister in his arms. As orphans who grew up in the church, they were more mature than ordinary people. But despite this, the younger sister still seemed a little scared. She hugged her brother tightly, not daring to say anything, but her body trembled slightly.
Although before the bomb came, Old Neil smelled something wrong from the changed all-weather broadcast of the "Hidden Sage" and took the children to hide in the shelter in time.
But even so, the bomb exploded just after the children entered the shelter. The huge destructive force made the children feel the earth shaking, making it difficult for some younger children to maintain calm.
Since Loen and Intis have always had friction, and some children who have lost their parents are also taken in by the church, Audrey remembers that the father of these siblings died in the "Loun-Intis" border conflict. middle.
Her expression suddenly became complicated. She slowly squatted down and gently stroked the child's head with her hands, which were still slightly stained with blood. But the next thing she heard was the child saying to her:
"Bishop Hall, you must be fine."
The child stammered, his tone no longer containing the chivalrous promise from before, but there was obviously a hint of attachment in his tone.
The monastery where Audrey serves as the bishop has just been established, and these children can live a stable life only after they have a quota in the monastery. Although Backlund also has pension measures for the families of fallen soldiers, it is difficult to implement it in practice. How could it be that easy?
Hearing the child's tone, Audrey was startled, then smiled and comforted:
"I'll be fine, don't worry."
"Then, go home with Archbishop Moriarty... We'll see you later."
Audrey maintained a gentle smile on her face as she sent these children into the "Traveller's Door" one after another.
And similarly, watching his marionette escort the children and Old Neil away from the "Traveller's Door", another "Traveller's Door" was opened, and another marionette emerged from the light door. Get out.
His appearance was identical to the previous Marionette, and he looked like the next "Sherlock Moriarty." The Marionette spoke after a brief pause, his tone filled with emotion:
"war……"
This was the first time that Klein saw a war between people. Even in modern society before being chosen by Tianzun to come to Origin Castle, Klein had only seen such wars in the news.
The war described in words is destined to be just petals in the water, just floating on the surface. Sometimes it is even brought into romantic colors with various righteousness;
Only those who have witnessed war with their own eyes can know the cruelty of war. The burning smell and strong smell of blood stimulate Klein's senses all the time. Even though his body had been transformed into an incomplete mythical creature, the other part of his human body still gave him a strong sense of nausea.
If it weren't for this intense feeling of nausea, Klein would have thought that he had lost his empathy as a human being during his continuous advancement.
The part that belongs to the mythical creature is constantly urging Klein to hunt down all the beings with extraordinary characteristics around him and cause more tragedies; while the part that belongs to the human being reminds Klein, "You can't do this. Once you do this, you are a god and not a human being.”
Thanks to his aversion to such scenes, although his divinity had taken over a part of his humanity, Klein still believed himself to be his original self.
At least he would be angry about such a war, instead of watching innocent people being slaughtered by the Beyonders' knives from the perspective of a bloodless and tearless monster.
This made him a little lucky that he had not been influenced by Tianzun and thought that everything was just his toy, a "puppet" in his palm.
Klein was a little angry at the gods.
Regardless of position.
But from the moment the gods swung their butcher knives at the weak, Klein felt that this was worthy of anger. However, he could only think that this was worthy of anger; he had no way of condemning the gods.
Some gods are not human, so they will not empathize with them. This is a difference based on race; while some gods regard believers as bargaining chips in order to save the world, sacrificing a few to save the majority.
——For gods, believers are nothing more than consumables.
Klein understands, but does not approve of it; he will not shout righteous slogans all day long to stop these gods from saving the world. Because now he has no ability to save this world, no ability to completely preserve this world from the mouth of the outer gods.
However, if he had enough power, he would not hesitate to stop the gods from doing so and take on the responsibility of saving the world himself - because this is his hometown.
——There are people here who are worthy of his love.
"Ah."
A familiar voice flashed in Klein's ear, seeming to mock Klein for being as arrogant as him. Klein ignored Tianzun's voice, because if nothing else, it was one of the sounds that Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun had recorded in advance.
If "He" could truly influence his will now, Klein believed he wouldn't have such an attitude towards ordinary people. He never thought he could contend with the will of the Old One at this stage.
Hearing Klein's long sigh, Audrey looked at Klein as he walked out of the monastery engulfed in flames and asked:
"Mr. Moriarty, what should we do now?"
Considering Leonard, Audrey did not call Klein Mr. World.
Klein glanced at Audrey and patiently answered her question: "My marionette is currently intercepting the Fusac Empire's airship. If nothing unexpected happens, Fusac, who has already prepared for war, will declare an all-out war against Loen next."
"All we can do now is to stop Feysac's air strikes. Although I have turned many pilots into Marionettes, the first round of bomb dropping has been completed, and the Feysac Empire has achieved its strategic goal."
Klein's whole body, including the six hundred "spiritual insects" that were separated from his body, was thinking at the same time, and he quickly outlined Backlund's current situation in his mind. These situations all come from the sight of each "Secret Puppet", and the layered information forms a complete bird's eye view in Klein's mind.
He suddenly felt like a sharp machine, thinking freely, even giving him the illusion that he could know everything.
But Klein quickly calmed down and continued his analysis to Audrey:
"I'm afraid Backlund has suffered heavy casualties. Backlund is now a hotbed for the advent of evil gods. We need to identify the demons and witches still in Backlund and prevent them from taking advantage of the widespread death in Backlund to summon evil gods."
Speaking of this, Klein couldn't help but think of the scene of the previous "Great Cataclysm" and felt a headache: Which gods are plotting against each other this time, and what are they plotting?
Now we are extremely lacking in information. We only know that there is a "Mother Tree of Desire" in it... So what is Gao Dimensional doing? He is not a sit back, ahem, sit back God.
Furthermore, Archbishop Anthony had also disappeared, and he was now unreachable. Klein rubbed his forehead, wondering what had happened to Archbishop Anthony...
"Wherever Archbishop Anthony is now, we need to find those demons and witches."
He made the final decision for the two people around him.
"How do we find it?" Leonard asked. He had already asked Pales Zoroaster if he could divine the location of the demon's plan. Unfortunately, he had received a negative answer.
Klein was silent for a while, and his eyes slowly shifted from Audrey to Leonard:
