"Everyone, it seems that you're all here." A voice that is difficult to describe in words fell along with a large, glowing white pillar in the center of the "Between the Stars" - and the apostles, who had been talking about it before, immediately fell silent. Kempareira even knelt on one knee with a solemn expression - who else could be able to get such courtesy from the high-level of the "association", but who else could there be besides the "alliance leader"?

"Yes. Except for the "third pillar", all the staff are here. The aggressiveness of the "First Pillar" in the face of the other apostles has vanished without a trace.

"Thank you for your hard work. Also, Kempareira, although you are not a member of the apostles, you have played an important role in the plan as my surrogate witness. ”

"I'm scared...... I think you must have already understood the details and the beginning and end of the "gospel plan". So allow me to put the finishing touches on it. In front of Keparella, a brilliant golden light appeared, and in the exclamation of the "Apostles of the Serpent", it slowly floated into the white pillar of light symbolizing the "Alliance Master".

"Treasure of the Void...... I did take it. However, the price paid was too painful...... "Third Pillar", and many other sacrifices......" The voice of the "Alliance Leader" revealed deep compassion, "The responsibility for all this lies with my ......"

"Please don't blame yourself, the death of "White Face" can be said to be self-inflicted." The "Seventh Pillar" spoke out of comfort.

"If we had to say something, we ignored him and did not give advice or advice...... We have a responsibility too. The "second pillar" also echoed it.

"No...... I know all about his ideals, about what he did...... But I still entrusted him with all the heavy lifting. Because I judge that such an outcome is necessary for the future of the world. That's why I say it's my responsibility. But after that...... "church" will inevitably do something about it...... You should also make the corresponding arrangements. ”

"Obey the king's orders." The apostles replied respectfully.

"So, what do we do next?" "The Fourth Pillar" asked.

"The bell of the West has been ringing, and the liberation of the First Covenant has been completed. Now I announce that the "Gospel Project", one of the "Orpheus Final Plan", has come to an end, and the next step, the "Phantom Flame Project", has officially begun. ”

"Oh!" The Fifth Pillar was excited.

"Hee-hee, understood." "The Second Pillar" laughed excitedly.

"Please rest assured." The Sixth Pillar is full of ambition.

——————————————————————————--

As the "Alliance Leader" retreated, the pillars of light that symbolized the "Apostles of the Serpent" were extinguished one after another. Kempareira remained where he was, still playing with the few additional orders from the Alliance Leader after the "Phantom Flame Project" was announced just now.

"The order of the 'Alliance Master' to make information about Hyliga Crywell's relevant information top secret, and not to be accessed except by the 'Apostles'? In addition, the "second and seventh pillars", which should have been concentrated on the plan, were ordered to take time out of their activities and investigate them...... Well, it's fun now. ”

"I think it's fun, too." An indifferent voice froze Kemparella's smile.

"You? - "If there were members of the "Association" present, they would have felt incredulous about the scene in front of them - the "Taoist Master", who was always calm and had a bit of a bad taste, actually showed a genuine shocked expression, "How are you-"

"How did you get to this airship, didn't you?" Nirivain smiled disdainfully, "Is there anything strange about that?" It's just an ordinary airship, an ordinary room, and it's not like the Annihilation Realm with a strict world protection layer...... Of course, I can come and go when I want. ”

“…… I'm underestimating you...... How much did you listen to the conversation just now? Kempareira gradually calmed down—it was terrifying that there was a person who could touch the "Red Ark" without even knowing it, and even find the "Between the Stars" without anyone noticing.

"All...... But don't be afraid, I'm not interested in your plans at all. Nerevain didn't seem to care about Kempareira's reaction, instead surveying the room with interest, "It's better to be a little interested...... But after listening to it, I lost interest at all. ”

"I received information that you went to the Codex Country, and what kind of cooperation do you have with the Knights...... At the time, I thought you were some kind of hole card hidden in the "church". Now it seems that the "church" is not as threatening as yours. ”

"There is some cooperation, but it is not for you...... I'm just trying to leave some people with some last assets...... How to say it, after all, they used to be old friends. Nerevain's words were so ambiguous that Kempareira couldn't tell the difference between the real and the false, "Oh yes, without mentioning him, I almost forgot what I was doing this time." ”

"Business?"

"Listen." Nerevain's voice turned cold, "I don't care what your plans are trying to do...... But remember, I don't want to see you deliberately bothering him. It's just an intelligence investigation or something, if you dare to do something like that little imperial village......"

"The 'Hamel' incident was planned by the main war faction of the empire and the 'white face', and that was not the original intention of the 'association'."

"A huge organization that pursues treasures left over from antiquity and operates in the shadows...... I have seen many such existences, and they all have one thing in common - that is, it is very easy to fall into some kind of extreme fanaticism at a certain time. "Maybe you still have your sanity now, but when the next word comes to the fore, it will be a problem that this sanity cannot be maintained...... My words probably won't have much effect, but it's better to give you a little wake-up call than nothing at all. ”

"......" Kemparella was even more confused, what the hell was this man talking about?

"At this point, no amount of conversation is meaningful." Neriva ignored Keparella, who had fallen silent, and his figure gradually blurred in the air - Keparella knew that it was not a projection made with some device or device, but a real physical transfer technique - not even affected by the special force protection provided by the "Black Workshop" to the "Between the Stars", "Remember what I said-"

After saying that, Nirivain's body disappeared in place, leaving only Kemparella, who was already in a cold sweat, as the pressure dropped sharply because of his departure, and he let out a long breath.

"Whew...... It's horrible. As soon as Nirivain left, Kempareira felt his feet go limp and he almost lost his footing.

"Hehe, he said that on purpose." The voice of the "Alliance Leader", who was supposed to be long gone, rang out again, "because he didn't want his friends to be involved in our plans...... But in fact, it was an accident in itself. ”

""Alliance leader?" Kempareira was visibly incredulous, "You already knew he was here?" ”

"He never tried to hide his existence...... But unfortunately, he was so strong that even if he didn't deliberately disguise himself, the apostles, including the "Seventh Pillar", would not be able to track his aura. After all, he was once a god, and the gods who died at his hands were not one or two......" The description of the "alliance leader" made Kempareira feel even more terrifying.

"That ......"

"But because of this, an existence as powerful as him in that heyday is more valuable to pay attention to......" The Alliance Leader seemed to sigh, "About that Imperial Boy...... I think it seems like some additional instructions are needed......"
