Chapter 31: The First Sermon

For Patrick Bryan's answer, Klein didn't feel the slightest surprise, and said softly:

"How many times is this your life?"

As far as he knew, the "undead" would die and resurrect once every sixty years, and forget most of the memories of the past, which needed to be slowly retrieved later, as if starting a new life.

This belongs to the knowledge that comes with the Potions Society, and Patrick Bryan easily understood the meaning of the god on the other side, and considered the following words:

"I'm not yet 50, and I've been an 'immortal' for less than 10 years. ”

Klein asked:

"When did you convert to my lord?"

The "Lord" here refers to the Lord of the underworld.

Bryan recalled for two or three seconds:

"At that time, I had just celebrated my 30th birthday. ”

It was only at the age of 30 that he stepped into the mysterious world and embarked on an extraordinary path, becoming a demigod in Sequence 4 before he was 40...... This speed is not amazing, it means that it is likely to be a god...... Oh, sure enough, in that ritual, both his spirit and body were affected by the "uniqueness" of the "Grim Reaper" pathway...... Crane listened and thought about it, and became more certain of his previous guess.

Of course, compared to the fact that he went from an ordinary person to a Sequence 4 demigod in just 1 year, Patrick Blaine's promotion speed is nothing short of worth mentioning.

For this, Klein doesn't feel that there is anything to sigh about, because he is indeed a "god-favored", and there are more than one plug-in.

The only problem is that I don't know if the rewards for those gifts are enough at the moment.

After a deep sigh, Klein turned to ask:

"What is your current identity?"

"I'm a businessman, I run two garment factories in Beckland, I believe in the goddess of the night, and I'm a supporter of the New Party...... says Patrick Blaine.

Klein almost let out a "huh" and continued to ask:

"How many members of the Spirit Order do you have, and what are they doing?"

Brian replied fluently and preparedly:

"Two groups, 12 extraordinary people, some of them work in my garment factory, some work in a watch shop, each with a formal occupation.

"Normally, they would be careful to spread the faith in God around them, but the progress in this was slow and not the main goal, and the total number of believers did not exceed a hundred.

"Most of the time, they're gathering clues about the various things that God has left behind, as well as the different materials needed for the awakening ritual.

"Once we have the clues, we will carry out some actions accordingly, and once the materials are ready, we will experiment with different awakening rituals to find the most effective one, and I am the presiding officer of the action, which is also the core element of the ritual. ”

Sounds proud...... Klein asked about everything else, and they all received detailed answers.

Finally, he thought for a while, and said with a serious expression:

"Follow God's commandments, and from now on you will obey my commands. ”

Patrick Bryan immediately got up and gave a solemn salute:

"Yes, Your Excellency. ”

Klein nodded slightly:

"The first point is to stop all kinds of rituals, no longer collect materials, God has initially awakened, is in the recovery stage, and cannot let the noisy 'voice' disturb Him. ”

In Klein's view, Brian's awakening ritual, no matter how much the form changes, ultimately points to the artificial god of death, that is, the "uniqueness" of the path of the "god of death", which will make it activate and deepen, which is not conducive to the further mastery of the goddess.

And whether Klein was happy to see something like this happen, now that the "Goddess of the Night" had asked Bryan to come over, he had to make such an arrangement.

Patrick Blaine has no doubts about his statement, because the "Grim Reaper" has indeed awakened, and the essence of "awakening" itself is "disturbance".

The "immortal" thought for a moment and took the initiative to ask:

"Your Excellency, what do we need to do next?"

Klein smiled approvingly:

"Continuing to look for clues to what God has left behind will help Him recover more quickly. ”

Speaking of which, Klein was about to make the second request, but because he was worried that there were too few similar clues, the members of the Spirit Order would not find something to do and cause other situations, so he added:

"In addition, you and your subordinates should carry out a wide range of literacy and reading activities in the garment factories and in other areas of their own activities, and set up night schools or study classes to free the people around them from ignorance and barbarism. ”

To strengthen his persuasiveness, Klein put his right hand on his chest and began to preach with extraordinary reverence:

"And God said, You must understand what you believe, and you can believe.

"God says, 'To the deluded one must first strengthen his body and arm his mind: for there is no barbarism and no foolishness in the kingdom he has promised. ”

Patrick Blaine did not question the words of Dawn Dantès, and it was no wonder why these two sentences were not recorded in the sacred texts of the Spirit Order, because the other party was a servant of the gods, a substitute appointed by the gods!

He nodded sincerely:

"I will take God's teachings to heart.

"May every spirit have eternal life in the kingdom of God!"

As he spoke, he had the same prayer posture as the current Spirit Order's Artificial Reaper, which was to raise his hands high with his thumbs facing each other in the center of his forehead.

- In the corresponding occult theory, this is the core of the underworld in the body of every "gatekeeper", referring to the location of the god of death.

Klein replied with the same gesture and words, and then said:

"The second point, the order sent from the Southern Continent, no matter who it comes from, you must first submit it to me, and you can only do it after obtaining my permission, if you don't allow it, you must not do it privately, you can only give feedback according to my wishes. ”

He was worried that Hetel, the high priest, the angel of the death realm, was still keen on the artificial death project, and would instruct Patrick and the others to make new attempts from time to time.

At the same time, he also had to ensure that until the goddess further grasped the "uniqueness" of the "Death" path, Haitel and the other two sages would not notice the clue and avoid them from making drastic responses.

Bryan still has no objection to this:

"Yes, Your Excellency!"

After ordering the two most important things, Klein remained unchanged on the surface, relaxed a little inside, and said thoughtfully:

"Thirdly, you are not allowed to come to me unless I have summoned you, and the usual communication is done by messenger.

"You know, many beings in the astral plane don't want to see God resurrected. ”

Patrick Bryan nodded heavily:

"I understand.

"My Messenger's summoning is 'Spirit of the Upper Realm, Absolutely Friendly Creature, Covenant Partner of Patrick Blaine'. ”

Sure enough, it is impossible for a demigod of the "Grim Reaper" path to be without a messenger...... Normally, sequence 6 of this pathway would be sufficient...... Klein did not hesitate, and said in a slow voice:

"Remember, my messenger's summoning words are 'Wandering spirits in vain, friendly creatures to be driven, messengers of Gelman Sparrow alone', well, whether you receive or send a letter, you need to give a gold coin to complete the agreement. ”

Klein deliberately revealed the connection between Gelman Sparrow and Dawn Dantès, mainly to see how the other party would react.

"Gelman Sparrow......" Patrick Blaine repeated the name in confusion, and then called out in some surprise and surprise, "His Highness the Archon of Death?"

Fortunately, although it is a by-product of the ritual and a fanaticism of faith, at least it has a normal IQ and can consciously collect information and complete the analysis of problems...... Crane breathed a sigh of relief and responded with a smile:

"I'm not, He's my teacher. ”

Brian nodded thoughtfully, feeling that he had a clear grasp of the whole thing.

Crane guessed his thoughts, but ignored them, stilted his right leg, clasped his hands on his knees, and asked:

"What do you know about the other factions of the Spirit Order?"

Patrick Bryan sat back down and said:

"The most powerful branch within the Spirit Order is the Royalty Faction, who have created multiple organizations with the descendants of God at their core......

"Their leader is currently a thin-blooded god named Thea Palenque Eggers, who may be an angel or hold an important relic of the gods, calling herself the 'Pale Empress......

"In addition to her, there are five other saints in the royal faction, some of whom are true demigods, and some of whom rely on seals......

"Except for the royal faction and us, the rest of the branches are weaker, mainly the sleeping faction and the underworld faction...... Combined, there are only three strong men whose strength is equivalent to that of saints......"

When Brian finished speaking, Klein nodded invisibly and said:

"That's all for today, just contact me if you have anything to do. ”

"Yes, Your Excellency. Patrick Bryan got up and saluted, and retreated to the door.

The door was silently open, and there were many "figures" outside, and the wind was blowing.

When everything had calmed down, Crane looked at the closed wooden door, walked to the window, pulled back the curtains, and looked out into the street.

At some point, several carriages appeared, each with two lanterns hanging in front of them, and the light of the lanterns was unusually pale and green, illuminating the surroundings in a blur.

In such an ambiguous scene, almost transparent figures are clustered on the sides and in front and behind, all wearing dress-like illusory clothes, which looks quite formal.

When Patrick Bryan landed in mid-air and returned there, the figures were prostrate at the same time, greeting the demigod and the spirits beside him in a few carriages that could only be seen in the shadows, and then hugging the convoy into the distance.

The pale glow faded and faded, and finally disappeared into the darkness, as if it had never appeared.

Klein retracted his gaze, and said to himself in his heart with a slightly calm expression:

"Although Patrick Bryan received the oracle because of the goddess's consideration in all aspects, I always felt that the undercurrent of Beckland, and indeed the whole world, was getting more and more turbulent.

"I don't know when, they will make waves......"

Thinking of this, Crane didn't delay and decided to contact the witch Triss immediately to confirm that there was no change over there.
