Chapter 30: The Fanatical Believer
Crane, dressed in a nightgown, did not move, and the "spirit thread" of the infiltrator had appeared in his inspiration.
In other words, if he wants to, even if he doesn't leave his bed, he can turn everyone at 160 Berklund Street into secret puppets, and of course, for a demigod, a "trickster", the neighbors who are separated by a few houses are also manipulating.
"There were many spirits around, and one of them helped him complete his flight and landed on the balcony next door...... Is this the 'Death' path, or is it the Extraordinary of the 'Night' path?, and to be able to do something to this extent, at least Sequence 6...... No, he walked to the door of my bedroom, where he stopped, and he stretched out his right hand and knocked on the door...... Is he sure I can detect it?" Crane sat up with a slightly calm expression.
The judgment of the first part of his body is completed by relying on the "spirit line", and the subsequent part is directly "seen", forming a picture in his mind.
- After Klein became Sequence 4, not only the ability of the "Joker" to sense danger has been strengthened, but also the mysterious space power above the gray fog that he can pry and use has also been substantially improved.
In addition, based on the deepening of his control over all aspects of that mysterious space, Crane has been able to converge the blessings of the gray mist in the real world, so that the extraordinary people of the special path cannot see the traces, and according to his judgment, with the "blasphemy card" attached to the gray mist, and holding the Seagod's scepter, the power projected by the "fool" to reality can be infinitely close to the real angel rank.
If it weren't for that, even if the Grey Mist and Paper Man stand-in did provide the ability to keep people awake in a dream-like state, Klein wouldn't dare to let Miss "Justice" face Sequence 4, or even Sequence 3, of a "spectator" pathway.
In the midst of his thoughts, he left the bed, put on his slippers, straightened his dressing gown, walked to the easy chair, sat down slowly, and said:
"Please come in. ”
The door to the master bedroom was silently open, but the cold wind did not blow in, only swirling in the hallway.
The "visitor" was a man of about the same age and height as Daun Dantès, with black hair and brown eyes, and deep facial features, typical of Rune appearance.
He wears a silk top hat, his face is relatively elongated, and his temperament is quite cold, but it is not a gloomy and uncomfortable type, but the kind that intuitively reflects the meaning of the night in the suburban cemetery.
At this moment, Klein saw countless spirits surrounding the middle-aged and elderly gentleman, making him dark and dark, layered, as if there was a hidden world.
Klein's spiritual instincts told him that he was a demigod.
I had just returned to Beckland, and I was approached by a demigod...... Except for the Archbishop of Beckland of the Night Church, the identity of Dawn Dantès has not been exposed at all...... Klein looked at the door with a toothache, his face expressionless, unable to tell whether he was angry or shocked.
The demigod took two steps, and suddenly let his right hand hang straight in front of him, causing his back to bend like a bow that had been pulled to the limit.
He bowed solemnly in a peculiar gesture, with great respect, and at the same time the door closed without a sound as the cold wind pulled.
Crane was almost stunned, not knowing how to react, and then his thoughts drifted, and he vaguely guessed.
At this moment, the demigod kept his posture unchanged and said in a deep voice:
"Patrick Blaine of the Order of the Spirit has been ordered to meet Your Excellency. ”
Oracle...... Klein controlled the twitching of his cheek muscles, and combined with the guess just now, he roughly understood what was going on:
The "Goddess of the Night" has deepened her control over the artificial god of death, that is, the "uniqueness" of the path of the "god of death", and can issue oracles to the high-level personnel of the Artificial God of Death faction of the Spirit Order!
Crane half-sighed and half-smiled and pressed his right hand to his chest, but nothing extra:
"What is the decree of God?"
Brian slowly straightened up, looked at the gentleman sitting in the easy chair with gray sideburns, and responded with some fanatical enthusiasm:
"We succeeded, God finally woke up, and He asked me to obey your commands and accept your arrangements starting today. ”
Klein had expected this, but after hearing the other party's answer, he still had a feeling that his face was sour, and he didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
This is to let my Servant of the Night be a part-time Servant of the Artificial Reaper, and secretly lead the Spiritual Order of the Artificial Reaper Sect...... Is this a gift of fate, or is it a price that is secretly marked? Since the goddess did not leave the archbishop or senior deacon of the church in charge of this matter, it means that she wants to keep it strictly secret...... Klein stood up at once, trying to make his expression and tone look reverent:
"Obey the oracle.
"God's will is my will!"
After speaking, he sat down again, looked at the demigod standing straight, pointed to the sofa opposite, and said:
"Please sit down, um, introduce yourself by the way, that's basic courtesy, isn't it?"
Just now, as one thought flashed through another, Klein vaguely grasped the reason why the goddess handed over the Artificial Death Sect of the Spirit Order to his leadership:
The identity of Gelman Sparrow is closely related to the former "Archon of Death"!
Therefore, if anyone really finds out the clue and starts to investigate the change of hands of the Soul Order's Artificial Death Sect, they will find out that it is related to Gelman Sparrow, and then suddenly realize that they have the truth, and understand why the artificial Death Reaper was able to come back to life and send down the oracle.
Based on this speculation, Klein deliberately had Dawn Dantès use a Gelman Sparrow mantra.
Patrick Bryan sat down on the couch and thought for a moment:
"I am a native of Rune, and I once went to East Bailang to do business, because I contracted a disease there and almost died, but I was rescued by the members of the Spirit Order, and I survived by the grace of the gods in a ritual, so I secretly changed my faith.
"My faction has always been slandered by other members of the Spirit Order, thinking that we are blasphemous and trying to create a new Grim Reaper ourselves, but this is not the case, we firmly believe that God did not fall at the end of the Quaternary, but only fell into a deep sleep, and needed to be awakened in a certain way to revive Him little by little, and it turned out that we were right, and you are the witness. ”
That's not what the ancient texts I got say so, and the higher-ups of the Spirit Order were fully aware that they were imitating the Hidden Sage's Death...... Could it be that the gentleman on the other side is not a core member of the Spirit Order's Artificial Reaper Sect, and he lacks sufficient understanding of knowledge such as "uniqueness"? But how can a demigod not be a core member? Even if the Spirit Order is transformed from the original Byron royal family and the Church of the Reaper, with deep accumulation and many strong people, it is impossible to waste a demigod like this...... None of the Seven Orthodox Churches can do such a thing...... Crane listened with great confusion and asked quietly:
"What about the other high-ranking members of your faction?"
Patrick Bryan said with reverence on his face:
"By the time I joined the Order, God had awakened a little, and it was all thanks to the former saints who sacrificed themselves in rituals and rituals.
"At the moment, we have three saints and one angel, all of whom are in East Bailang, and I am in charge of all matters in Bakeland. ”
This is not right, according to the information provided by Leonard, the personnel of the Spirit Order in Beckland are divided into multiple groups, they do not know each other, and they only contact the designated personnel in the Southern Continent, and there is no general person in charge at all...... Klein's first reaction was that Patrick Bryan was lying, but immediately dismissed the idea because it was something that would be very easy to verify for the oracle's dependents.
He thought for a moment and then asked:
"What is the angel's name, where is he now, has he received an oracle?"
Patrick Bryan puts it bluntly:
"God kept me from telling people or asking about them.
"Our leader is called Hetel, this is both a surname and a first name, he used to be the high priest of the church, and then he received the gift of God and became an angel, he has been working to awaken the sleeping God, he has been severely eroded in a certain ceremony, and he cannot leave his tomb at present, otherwise he will directly lose control, he is my teacher. ”
This demigod who existed during the Byron Empire is obviously the soul of the man-made Death Project...... Klein asked thoughtfully:
"He and the other two demigods are Byran, pure-bloods?"
"Yes. Patrick Bryan nodded.
I kind of understand what's going on...... Crane couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
He believes that Patrick Bryan is not a normal demigod, but a by-product of the artificial Grim Reaper project!
At the beginning, the members of the Artificial Death Sect of the Spirit Order such as Hetel did not want to save a Rune at all, but planned to use him as a sacrifice or material for a certain ritual, but as a result, they themselves were not sure that the attempt caused an accident, and the "uniqueness" of the "Grim Reaper" had a preliminary instinct, or there were other changes, resulting in Patrick Bryan surviving and establishing a certain connection with the so-called artificial Death, and the spirit and body were contaminated with specialness.
Witnessing these circumstances, Hetel and other high-ranking officials began to regard Patrick Bryan as one of the keys to the success of the artificial Grim Reaper project, giving him potions, teaching him knowledge, instilling him in the belief in Death, and weaving perfect reasons for his actions, and Brian became a demigod and half-human existence because of his special state.
Of course, no matter how crucial it is, it is also an experimental material, Patrick Bryan was never really regarded as a member of the Artificial Death Sect of the Spirit Order, and later was sent to Beckland, the Kingdom of Rune, to lead two or three groups of members, cooperate with various rituals, and try to further activate the "uniqueness".
This speculation is in line with all the information that Klein has learned so far: first, Leonard mentioned that the Artificial Death Sect of the Spirit Order placed the experiment in Beckland, intending that if there is any accident, it can also destroy the enemy's capital, second, many groups have a one-line contact with the Southern Continent, and Beckland has no general director, and third, the situation of the artificial death in Patrick Bryan's possession is extremely different from the truth.
In other words, those guys in the Southern Continent didn't care about Brian's life or death at all, and they didn't tell him the truth, and there was no better explanation for this situation except that he was a byproduct of the Artificial Reaper Project.
Well, in this way, the goddess's current mastery of "uniqueness" is still limited, and she can only give an oracle to such a fanatical believer who has a direct connection with the artificial god of death, and cannot influence angels and saints such as Hetel...... Crane gathered his thoughts and asked:
"How many sequences do you have at the moment?"
Patrick Bryan doesn't hide it:
"I am the 'undead'. ”
