Simultaneous Travel: Becoming a Legend in the Heavens
#357 - Aurora Club
Dock area.
Two stealthy figures moved forward in the darkness and stopped near the ship. The light from the sentry tower indicating the direction shone brightly on their faces.
The younger man in the lead had a high collar and a pair of dark blue-gray eyes under his thick and messy eyebrows. The middle-aged man behind him had obvious dark circles under his eyes, his hair stood up like a hedgehog, and there was fear on his face.
The two Aurora Society members were waiting for the ship that was about to arrive from Enmat Harbor, waiting for their superior Mr. Z, who decided to come in person after receiving their message.
In the cool night breeze, the middle-aged man hesitated and spoke:
"Sirius, is it really the right decision to call Mr. Z over? We will definitely be severely punished for the mistakes we made before."
"It is precisely because we have made mistakes that we need to make amends. The Lord is everywhere and knows everything."
Sirius' voice sounded extremely cold, and his beast-like eyes glanced at the middle-aged man.
"Henason, your faith in the Lord is not devout enough, which is why you can't even digest the magic potion of Sequence 9 'Secret Prayer'."
"We really shouldn't have gotten the Antigonus Notebook, and we shouldn't have sold it out of fear that the Secret Society would use divination to track us down, leading to the deaths of several college students and sparking an investigation by the Night Watchers."
Sirius' eyes flashed with regret.
He also didn't understand why he would do such a stupid thing. There were so many ways to deal with Antigonus's notes, but he chose to sell the notes with extraordinary power to college students.
It is the most curious and exploratory creature in the world, but it is also very fragile and can die very easily!
"As long as the plan goes smoothly, we can sacrifice hundreds of thousands of lambs in Tingen City to our Lord. This achievement will be enough to wipe out our guilt."
Hainas shut up. It was Sirius who taught the fraudster Lanevus the ritual. He played no role in the process, but he couldn't refute it because he was indeed not loyal enough.
The role of the "Hanged Man" Path Sequence 9 "Secret Prayer" potion is simple and pure. As long as you pray devoutly to a great being, you can quickly digest it. In theory, a qualified Aurora member can completely digest the potion in one to two months.
If it weren't for the fact that a small city like Tingen was not worthy of being assigned a divine envoy, Hainas might have been dealt with by the divine envoys above him long ago.
This is also a screening mechanism.
The "Secret Prayers" screen out the Aurora members who are not devout enough to the evil god "True Creator", and the "Listeners" of Sequence 8 need to endure the "True Creator's" mumbling, twisting sane people into lunatics.
All the Aurora members with a little status are crazy, including most of the Sequence 5 "Shepherd" gods and even the saints who have obtained divinity. Each of them is a fanatic believer of the "True Creator" and is willing to sacrifice his life at any time.
Hainas said bitterly: "I hope the Nighthawks can find clues later..."
A chilling voice suddenly sounded, interrupting the conversation between the two people. It was so close that it seemed like a whisper.
"You mean, you attracted official attention before the Lord's child was born?"
Sirius and Heinas were startled at once, and when they turned their heads to look, they saw a figure appearing in the shadows behind them.
The figure was tall and slender, wearing a gray-black cloak. Under the hood was a face with deep lines, as if it was carved by the most outstanding craftsman.
The Aurora Society's messenger, Mr. Z!
Hainas knelt down quickly and explained in panic: "Please forgive me, in fact, the Lord's offspring was conceived after that."
Sirius clasped his hands together and prayed devoutly.
"I am guilty, but as long as the Lord's child can be born smoothly, I am willing to give everything."
Mr. Z looked at the two of them silently for a few seconds, then suddenly looked at Hainas, and his tone did not reveal whether he liked or disliked it.
"How long did it take for your Secret Prayer Potion to digest?"
Hainas' body trembled, and big drops of cold sweat oozed out of his forehead. He replied tremblingly:
"Two years..."
Plop!
Before he could finish his words, Hainas' body spread out radially in all directions. A flower of flesh and blood mixed with bones bloomed in the darkness, then gathered into a ball in the air and disappeared into Mr. Z's robe.
"You're not loyal enough."
Mr. Z said in a calm tone.
The stench in the air stimulated Sirius' pupils to shrink suddenly. He gritted his teeth and waited for his result in silence, but saw a bottle filled with dark liquid placed in front of him.
“And you, you do have sin, but the Lord will bear it for you.”
"This is a Sequence 7 'Monk' potion."
Mr. Z looked at Sirius indifferently and spoke slowly: "It can grant you the ability to sneak into the shadows, the ability to shuttle between shadows at short distances, and master some shadow spells."
"When the Lord's offspring arrives, if you are still alive afterward, I will ask the Dark Saint to make you one of the God's messengers."
Sirius suddenly looked up, his eyes shining with surprise. Instead of thanking Mr. Z, he began to pray devoutly.
"The Lord who created everything, the Lord behind the veil of shadows, the fallen self of all living things."
"Praise you!"
“Praise you for creating everything!”
"Praise you for bearing the sins of the world!"
Looking at Sirius who ignored his prayers, Mr. Z was not angry. Instead, he smiled and nodded with satisfaction.
"Tell me what happened, especially the woman who was lucky enough to bear the Lord's child."
"Yes, actually, giving birth to the Lord's offspring was not my original intention. It is impossible for me to complete this difficult ritual alone."
Sirius began to explain what happened: "At first, I just accidentally saw a scammer named Lanevus, and thought he was very suitable to join the Aurora Society, so I secretly taught him the relevant rituals."
"Surprisingly, Lanevus actually succeeded in completing the ritual, and made a woman named Megose pregnant with the Lord's child. She was not a remarkable woman, and she did not have any extraordinary characteristics, but she endured the ritual and successfully became pregnant with the Son of God. Although it was incredible, I think it must have been arranged by the Lord."
Mr. Z frowned, thinking about these meaningless words.
"An ordinary woman is pregnant with the Lord's child...?"
He vaguely sensed that something seemed to be wrong, but quickly gave up thinking about it.
No matter what the cause is, the Lord's offspring is already an established fact in the making, and everything will be fine once the child is born.
Furthermore, the Lord has not given him any revelation up to this point, which shows that He has His own arrangements.
As a messenger of the Aurora Society, he doesn't need to think so much, the Lord will guide him!
"Move to a new location and find a place where we can keep an eye on Megose. I will protect the Lord's child in secret and prevent Him from getting hurt."
Mr. Z gave up thinking and immediately felt that his mental state improved a lot and his thoughts became clearer.
He placed his hand on Sirius' shoulder, and the two of them faded away.
…
Blackthorn Security Company.
Leonard, wearing black trousers that were easy to move in and a white shirt that was not tucked in, and with the temperament of a romantic poet, came down from the entertainment room with a cup of steaming coffee in his hand.
In view of his special circumstances that had been exposed before, he had been locked up in the company for the past two days and was not allowed to go out, and was reduced to handling clerical work.
He was leisurely sipping coffee at his desk when Luo Shan, who was reading a newspaper next to him, suddenly let out a high-pitched scream that almost punctured his eardrum.
It’s so noisy… What are women’s voices made of, and why can they make such noises?
"My goddess, Madam Sharon is dead!"
Leonard nodded his chin: "That name sounds familiar."
"That's Madam Sharon, a very famous woman in Tingen City! Although her reputation is not a good one."
Luo Shan seemed to realize that she was too excited and muttered embarrassedly:
"Mrs. Sharon is a beauty consultant for many cosmetic brands, including creams, perfumes, lotions... Her makeup skills have been featured in many magazines."
Leonard thought of the name and raised his eyebrows: "I just remember that she seemed to have been in the news with some nobles or wealthy people, and was involved in many emotional disputes."
Luo Shan rolled her eyes, seeming speechless that men only paid attention to this aspect.
At this moment, the sound of the door being pushed open was heard.
Klein, dressed in a tuxedo and a half-high silk hat, walked in and smiled at the two.
"Good morning, Roxanne, Leonard."
"Good morning, Klein."
Luo Shan put down the newspaper and looked at Klein for a few seconds. "Why do you men always wear formal clothes in this kind of weather? Isn't it uncomfortable? Although the summer in Tingen is not too hot."
Klein shrugged helplessly: "This is the price of grace."
"You can't dress inappropriately, eat food that doesn't suit your identity, or play games that don't suit your age."
Luo Shan smiled and said, "It sounds like you have some experience."
"Klein always likes to use various rules to restrain himself and be a decent person. In our hometown dialect, this behavior is called 'pretending'."
Another voice sounded, and Luke walked out from behind Klein, took off his hat, and greeted Roxanne and Leonard.
"Hey, don't mess with me in front of my colleagues."
Klein glared at Lu Ke with embarrassment and elbowed him fiercely. Unfortunately, the "Fortune Teller" path did not do much to improve his physique, and his little arms and legs were completely unable to shake Lu Ke.
Leonard: “…”
Facing the culprit who put him in the censorship crisis, Leonard was completely unable to remain calm. His grandfather Pales also reminded him from time to time to retreat when he saw Lu Ke.
When asked the reason, the old man couldn't give a clear answer.
After confirming that Luke was not Amon, it seemed that there was no need to be afraid of an ordinary person, and there was nothing abnormal about his spiritual premonition, but Pales just felt an inexplicable panic.
He avoided Lu Ke's gaze uncomfortably, nodded politely, and turned away.
"I'm sorry, he's not usually like this."
Roxanne awkwardly explained for Leonard.
"It doesn't matter."
Luke nodded gently, his eyes falling on the Honest Man newspaper on Roxanne's desk.
The headline of the newspaper was a huge eye-catching banner, and nearly half of the front was reporting the news about Mrs. Sharon's death.
Many celebrities expressed their most sincere sorrow and condolences for Mrs. Sharon's death. The police began to investigate the scene of Mrs. Sharon's death and initially determined it to be homicide. The suspect has not yet been identified.
This socialite murder case has become the most discussed topic today, becoming a topic of conversation before and after meals, and a bit of fun to embellish the boring lives of ordinary people.
In fact, this topic is not only in the Honest Man, but also in the morning paper, evening paper, Backlund Daily, Tussock Daily, and even many family magazines, interviews, and journals.
As the news spread, the "Magician" extraordinary characteristics were indeed digested a lot more than at the beginning, but the effect did not seem to be particularly good. It probably only saved about a week of digestion time.
Lu Ke speculated that the problem might lie in timeliness. The idea of causing more people to fluctuate emotionally was correct, but he should perform it in front of the audience instead of doing it secretly in the dead of night.
Specifically, it is necessary to give the audience a correct understanding, let the audience understand that he is the main body of the magic performance, and let them applaud the "magician".
"So what brings you here this time?"
After confirming that Lu Ke was really not angry, Luo Shan smiled with relief.
"Well...I'd like to say that being able to see Miss Roxanne again is the point of coming here, but it's true that I'm a little busy."
Luke answered with a smile on his face, and his gentle voice made Luo Shan's face gradually blush.
"I heard from Klein that you can entrust tasks here?"
He planned to make a temporary trip to Backlund, where there were many big shots and many Beyonders who were suitable to act as spectators. Killing a big shot with enough influence and status in public should be enough for the magician to digest.
Although I will be back soon, there are some things that I should do in advance to prevent myself from forgetting, such as old Neil who was secretly contaminated by the "Hidden Sage".
Luo Shan nodded, looking somewhat embarrassed, "Yes, but I've been very busy lately, and I may not have enough manpower to complete the task in a short time."
Ever since the strange celestial phenomena a while ago, all major churches have begun a period of martial law, and the number of extraordinary events in Tingen City has increased a lot. It is true that the official members of the Nighthawks have basically no rest time.
"It's okay. It's not a difficult task. I just want you to translate a diary."
Lu Ke smiled, took out a thin booklet from his pocket, handed it to Luo Shan, and spoke slowly.
"I recently found a diary left by my grandfather when I was sorting through his belongings at home."
"My grandfather was a fan of mysticism and had learned some ancient languages used for sacrifices, such as Giant, Elven, Ancient Hermes, Ancient Feysac, etc."
Luo Shan's eyes widened when she heard this. "Your grandfather is really knowledgeable..."
It just sounds a bit like a cult leader.
Luke didn't explain much. "I would like to ask an old gentleman who is also well versed in occultism and knows a thing or two about these languages to translate the notes. The reward is fifty pounds."
The diary is the product of his prayer to the original body. If it is interpreted, it will be "contaminated", and the pollution of the hidden sage will be covered with pollution of a higher dimension.
The old man is well versed in mysticism, has mastered some spiritual languages, and is short of money, which basically points to old Neil.
Klein, who didn't know the truth, stared at it with wide eyes and couldn't help but raise his hand, "Actually, I can try this."
Fifty pounds!
The corner of Lu Ke's mouth twitched slightly.
You can make a bubble teapot!
