True and False "Audrey"
Chapter 1298 True or False "Audrey"
Fortunately, Angel had long known that there were many "old days" with strength far exceeding that of the true gods outside the barrier, and he did not fall into negative emotions for a long time.
The same was true for Klein above the gray fog. He had already memorized the authority and symbols of the outer gods revealed by Mr. "Gate", and began to think about what "resources" these enemies needed from the interior of the earth, so as to find places that could be used.
Seeing that Angel stopped asking, Bethel Abraham's blue eyes flickered instantly, and the "secret" that enveloped the two dissipated. A former angel king and a current angel king returned to the Abraham family's base, making everyone feel invisible oppression.
Dorian Abraham, with neatly combed hair and a somewhat nervous expression, came to the two of them, surrounded by other family members, bowed deeply, and said respectfully:
"Welcome back, the great 'Gate of Ten Thousand Doors', the pride of Abraham."
Except for Fors who quietly stood aside, the other Abrahams also bowed, as if they had rehearsed it long ago.
Maybe they did rehearse it countless times in their hearts, looking forward to the return of the angel king of the family and leading them to glory again... Angel guessed, looking at Mr. "Gate", but found that He shook his head with some regret, and said:
"I am no longer the glory and pride of the family.
"But you can still choose your own path, for example, continue to follow Mr. 'Fool'. "
As He spoke, He looked up at the ceiling of the hall. It was as if His sight passed through the building, entered the spirit world, and came to the gray fog to pay tribute to Klein the Fool.
Angel knew that this was His true attitude of submission.
Of course, she also believed that Klein could handle the follow-up matters. This guy had been the Fool for almost three years, and had gone from an ordinary person to a Sequence 1. He had experienced countless similar moments. Whether it was turning the entire Abraham family into his believers, or using Mr. Door's peculiarity to find Zaratul and fight against Amon the Wrong, he didn't need to intervene.
The rest is up to you - she also looked up, as if she saw Klein sitting on the high-backed chair of the Fool and nodding at her.
She reminded Bethel, "Remember your promise."
Then, leaving behind the "Magician" Forth, who was still a little uneasy in the face of a legendary figure, she entered the mirror world and left the secret base of the Abrahams.
————
"Black Emperor" Roselle... "God of Steam"... Names emerged in Angel's mind one by one, but in the end, she still used the mirror to travel back to Backlund.
After learning the information of the "Outer Gods", she decided to meet the "Goddess of Night" in person and tell the important information to this god who had helped her many times.
Of course, Angel suspected that Bethel easily revealed the secrets he had discovered in the starry sky for many years, and his purpose was to use Angel to remind other gods in the barrier, even though the night had sealed it together with the storm for a thousand years.
Although the end of the world is approaching, all the gods and angels in the barrier must sincerely cooperate to have a chance to survive, but Mr. "Gate" is too selfless... Angel feels sighed, walked straight out of the mirror, and appeared on Burningham Road in the Hillston District.
At this moment, several probing thoughts or sights fell on her. Some shrank back as if startled, some stayed for a moment in a friendly manner, and some greeted her cautiously.
But no matter who it was, no one dared to show any malice.
When I was promoted to "Despair" and returned to Backlund with confidence, I thought that demigod was already a great achievement. I didn't expect that this city, in addition to the reborn "Snake of Fate" Will, also hid more than one angel... Of course, most of the time they abide by the law, like they come here for retirement, or they would rather live under the constraints of the three major churches in exchange for real peace... Angel did not disturb these secrets. She did not want to be disturbed by them, and therefore entered the mirror world again.
Her figure walked slowly along the roadside signs reflecting the sunlight, the windows facing the street, and the puddles on the ground, and soon came to 8 Birningham Road, where the garden was well-kept, and the gardeners and maids inside were coming in and out and it seemed very busy.
That was one of her identities, the residence of Christine Theresa.
Of course, the lease of this house was only one and a half years, and it expired at the end of 1351. It should have been occupied by another family or put up for sale, but Angel's sight was transmitted through the mirror in the building, and he found that the servants who were taking care of the garden and cleaning the balcony were quite familiar. Her butler, Rebark, was standing by the French window of the reception room on the second floor, looking at the sunlight outside the window. , holding a small notebook in her hand, the housekeeper Kayla was directing the laundry maid to hang the washed clothes in a corner where the neighbors couldn't see.
They were all still there, which meant that the house still belonged to "Miss Christine"... Did Audrey instruct them to renew the lease or even buy the building?
Angel quietly looked at the cozy home where she had lived for half a year and held countless balls and salons, and did not disturb her servants. After all, "Christine" was traveling in the southern continent with Dwayne Dantes and should not be here.
She continued to stroll in the mirror world, and her figure soon appeared on Pacefield Street in the northern district.
Here is the largest Church of the Night in Backlund, and it is also the office building of the "Loen Charity Student Aid Fund".
When she walked into reality from behind a window, Angel had already put on a strange face with the help of her "phantom" mask made by the "trickster" feature. She walked into the foundation office building, which was almost exactly the same as a year ago, except that the exterior walls were repainted after the war. She learned from the front desk staff that Miss Audrey happened to be here today, and came to the office where "Queen", "World" and "Justice" once lived together.
Audrey, with beautiful blonde hair and small gold-rimmed glasses on her nose, was sitting at the desk reading documents. When she heard the door open, she looked up and looked over here, with a look of surprise in her green eyes.
But in Angel's "mirror self" from another angle, it was a big golden retriever sitting on the chair.
So this is the truth about "Miss Audrey's enthusiasm for charity"... Angel's mouth curled up slightly, and he walked out of the dark, changed his disguise, and revealed the true face of Miss "Christine". Just as he was about to make a sharp comment, he found that "Audrey's" expression had changed slightly, and a dazzled look appeared on her delicate face, and her dignified appearance could hardly be maintained.
She walked past the desk and came to Angel, then hesitantly stretched out her tongue, as if she wanted to lick Angel's cheek.
In the perspective of the mirror, Susie had already stood up with the strength of her hind legs, her two front legs almost on Angel's chest, and her red tongue had already stretched out of her mouth.
What's going on... She, no, it seems to be tempted by something, but I didn't use the charm ability. Is it because after the promotion, the charm of "feminine" is hard for even extraordinary creatures to resist?
Knowing that the "Audrey" in front of her is just a dog, Angel's eyes are getting closer and closer to the other person's face, which still makes her mutter in her heart.
Fortunately, Susie's movements suddenly stopped, and then "Audrey" turned back into the big dog with smooth fur. Except for a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on her nose, she didn't look like the lady
just now. Lady... Thinking of the pet dog that had probably digested the Sequence 6 "Hypnotist" potion and almost licked his face, Angel looked helplessly at the real Miss "Justice" who had appeared beside him at some point, smiled and said:
"It's a little too enthusiastic today."
Audrey, who had just calmed down Susie who was helping her guard the office by "comforting", also looked at Angel in a daze, and the amazement in her eyes could hardly be hidden. After a moment, she woke up and shook her head and said:
"If I hadn't known you for a long time and had prepared myself mentally, I'm afraid it would be the same.
"Miss Christine, welcome back."
She lowered her head, slightly bent her knees and saluted with her skirt, and said elegantly.
"Thank you for your concern, Audrey. "
Angel called the other person's name affectionately, making this "Backlund's most dazzling gem" smile from the heart.
After sending Susie, who had awakened from her charm, out of the door, Audrey sensibly gave the only single sofa in the office to Angel, and sat on the high-back chair behind the desk, and asked softly:
"Christine, I heard that you and Mr. Dantes went to the southern continent for vacation, and there has been no news recently. My other friends and I are very worried about you."
Is she referring to the fact that I disappeared from the Tarot Club for a week? Angel nodded in understanding, and directly pulled the office where the two were alone into the "mirror world", forming an independent area that no one could peek into, and then stretched his body and said to the unaware Audrey:
"Ms. Justice, this is the mirror world, and now even the true God cannot eavesdrop on our conversation. "
Audrey was startled, and subconsciously looked around, and found that the busy scene of Pacefield Street was still outside the window. The towering bell tower of St. Samuel Church not far away was bathed in the sun, and even Susie's somewhat aggrieved low voice came from outside the door, making it hard for her to believe that she had left reality.
As expected of Miss Queen, could it be that after the death of the "Original Witch", "She" has been promoted to Sequence 1? Or has she gone a step further and dared to make the judgment that "even the true God cannot eavesdrop"? I am fortunate enough to participate in this level of conversation. Could it be that what we are going to talk about next is the privacy of a certain god... She guessed half nervously and half excitedly.
Seeing that Miss "Justice" was no longer moving as if petrified, Angel tilted his head curiously and asked:
"Audrey, did you help me renew the lease or buy the house at 8 Burningham Road?
"How much did it cost in total?"
Huh?
Audrey was stunned, and answered subconsciously:
"Because of the impact of the war, the owner of the house was eager to sell it, and I bought it for you for 3,500 pounds."
Then, a sense of surprise emerged in her mind.
An angel, no, it is very likely that he is an archangel. The mythical creature secretly pulled me into a secret world that no one can find, just to ask such a question?Meeting
Chapter 1299 Meeting
3500 pounds...
Hearing this number, Angel was somewhat delighted.
As early as two years ago when she returned to Backlund and looked for a suitable house, she learned from Laura about the horror of the city's housing prices. The house left by her fake "aunt" Severia was worth 15,000 pounds. Those with gardens and better living environments in Queens even cost more than 30,000 pounds. Even if you rent it, it will cost several thousand pounds a year, not including the salaries of various servants and the expenses of consumables.
Although Hillston District is not as good as the wealthy areas such as Queens and the West District, housing prices have been rising in recent years. If it weren't for the double blow of the smog and the war, even with Audrey's connections, it would be impossible to buy a three-story house with a garden and a stable for only 3,500 pounds.
Although it is a bit cold-blooded to say this, the war did save me a lot of money on this matter... She thought with melancholy.
Audrey, who was sitting behind the desk, misunderstood the reason for Angel's silence, thinking that the angel who often showed his love for money in the Tarot Club was not very satisfied with this, and quickly added:
"In fact, all the funds for the purchase came from the income of your Iris Winery in the past two years, including the sales of wine and the transactions of surrounding land... In fact, in the year and a half before and after the war, the assets of the estate have appreciated by more than 30%. In addition to buying the house on Burningham Road, the rest were invested in the charity fund according to your instructions.
"In addition, the industries in which you hold shares have also entered a healthy development under the operation of Miss Sherman. After the war is over and Backlund's production and consumption are gradually on the right track, I think you can appropriately expand the scale of the industry and save some money for yourself."
The factory in the East District... I seem to have not paid attention to the industries I invested in for a while... Angel was in a trance and found that he didn't know much about the industries under his name except "Black Bear Coke" and those canned fruits. He couldn't help but ask:
"Which industries are they? "
Three beverage processing plants, four canning plants, a machinery manufacturing plant, a pharmaceutical company, a trading company that specializes in selling the products produced by the above-mentioned plants, and an affiliated fleet..."
Audrey, who had been secretly caring for "Miss Sherman, Christine's friend", listed all the industries under Angel's name, and then said:
"According to the sales forecast for last month, these industries will bring you more than 300,000 pounds in profit this year."
300,000 pounds... Angel's eyes gradually lit up.
This is much more valuable than the pirates!
She didn't discriminate against those pirate generals and pirate kings, but even if the "Death Announcement" and its ship of wanted criminals were packaged and handed over to the authorities, it would only be worth 150,000 pounds, which was only the profit of these industries for half a year.
And the pirates of Agaritu's level can be counted on one hand on the five seas, and most of them have backstage. For example, the "Mysterious Queen" has now become an angel herself, and her father has been resurrected as a true god. There is a high probability that Adam is standing behind the "King of the Black Seat"...
No wonder the "Death Announcement" was robbed by me. It disappeared without a trace and never appeared again. Compared with other kings, it is indeed not very impressive... Fortunately, I don't need to make money by robbing pirates anymore... Thinking that her wallet will gradually swell over time, Angel showed a smile from the bottom of her heart.
It's not that she is like a money-grubber. After becoming an angel, Angel's desire for gold pounds has weakened a lot compared to before. But as the founder of the Witch Church, even if she doesn't think about herself, she has to consider the funds needed for the church to spread faith and expand its influence.
In short, it's all mine...
Seeing Angel's smile, Audrey also laughed happily, and she continued:
"In addition, the St. Therese Church in the west district near the Sodrak Palace has been completed. I heard that the witch that His Majesty once loved is the one who presides over that church? "
Not only in the past, but also now... Triss applied to come to Backlund to establish a new parish, wasn't it for her lover... Angel muttered, nodded, and didn't explain too much.
Although the Witch Church had obtained the consent of the goddess to build a church in Backlund, and Storm and Steam also acquiesced to it, she was not a true god after all, so it was not appropriate to publicize it.
After asking Audrey "Manipulator" about the digestion of the potion and whether Susie could be promoted to Sequence 5, Angel left the office building of the Loen Charity Student Aid Fund and walked into the prayer hall of Saint Samuel Church where believers kept coming in and out.
Before he had time to find an empty bench to sit down, Angel noticed a tall old man in a black archbishop's robe walking towards him.
He stood out among the believers, whose average height was about 1.7 meters. His robe was tight, revealing the outline of the muscles underneath, which reminded Angel of the Earth Mother Church. But when she looked at the other person's face, she was surprised to find that this archbishop, who was about the same height as the people of Feysac, was actually Saint Anthony Stevenson.
What on earth did he eat to grow so strong... By the way, the "Darkness" path can jump to and from the "Twilight Giant". Could it be that because of the tension of the characteristics of the same path, Archbishop Anthony was promoted to "Glory"? Could it be that he used the characteristics of the Patriarch Larion of the Church of the God of War that I sacrificed... Angel, who was spiritually aware and a little wary of the angel in front of him, thought.
The darkness that shrouded this archbishop, who was a head taller than before and was likely to continue to change his appearance as the potion was digested, made all the believers who passed by ignore his existence. He walked slowly, and only smiled slightly when he stood in front of Angel, stretched out his strong arms and pointed out the stars on his chest, and said in a deep voice:
"Your Highness Angel, the goddess has issued an oracle, asking me to wait for you here."
It feels so wonderful to be called "Your Highness" by an angel... The Archbishop must have learned from the Goddess that I have been promoted to Sequence 1, which also means that the fall of the "Original Witch" is no longer a secret... Angel's mind was full of thoughts, and he nodded calmly, also drawing stars on his chest, and said:
"Praise the Goddess, I need to pray to Her, please provide me with a quiet room."
"Please follow me."
Anthony said, leading Angel through the large prayer hall and into the underground area of the church. He walked through the heavy iron door engraved with seven dark holy emblems that Angel was already familiar with, and stepped into the quiet corridor illuminated only by dim candlelight.
Seeing that Anthony's body was almost touching the ceiling above, Angel couldn't help but ask:
"Your Excellency the Archbishop, I have heard that the three major churches in Backlund have an agreement with the royal family, stipulating that Level 0 seals and angels cannot be stationed in this city for a long time?"
Anthony turned his head to look at her, and the wrinkles between his eyes appeared in the candlelight, as if it was a vertical eye.
"It used to be like that, but after the incident with George III, all the major churches realized that it was more convenient to have an angel stationed there to deal with similar situations. Moreover, with the end of the war, the activities of organizations that believe in evil gods have become more frequent, and angels that can resist pollution are needed to guard this metropolis of five million people."
So, Storm and Steam also did similar things. Some of the angels who noticed my arrival today are probably from the three major churches... Angel thought for a moment and came to an empty office under Anthony's guidance.
As the tall "Glory One" closed the door and left, Angel sat in front of the stone wall engraved with the holy emblem of darkness, bowed his head and recited the name of the goddess of night, and then waited for His response.
Not long after, an irresistible drowsiness surrounded Angel. She closed her eyes naturally, felt her body floating lightly, and landed on a piece of soft soil.
Opening her eyes, she found that she had come to a plain surrounded by darkness, with deep sleeping flowers and night vanilla growing vigorously under her feet, and the velvety night sky above her head dotted with twinkling stars.
The eternal resting place of devout believers after death, "Deep Dark Heaven", is described in detail in the "Apocalypse of Night" of the Church of Night... After receiving the goddess' blessing many times, experiencing the power of the "Eternal Dark River", and sealing the "feminine side of the original creator" in his body, Angel can clearly feel that he is in a dream, but he is not spiritually alert, and he has no doubts in his heart, but feels the peace and tranquility surrounded by darkness.
When this feeling of calming the mind reached its peak, a figure walked out of the darkness. She was a woman with a good figure and a calm expression. She wore a layered but not complicated dark long skirt, and her steps were slow and quiet, as if gliding among flowers and plants.
For a moment, he didn't know whether to call this traverser by his name or continue to respectfully call her the lofty goddess of night. Angel could only bow his head in silence and bow.
"No need to salute, and this is not the first time we have really met," the Goddess of Night said in a soft voice, "In fact, Grisha, I, and even the world, should thank you for your efforts."
Then we should thank Angel Gray, the other me... I myself was just blindly moving forward according to the plan you set, and only recently did I understand everything... Angel sighed in his heart, shook his head and said:
"But the crisis has not been resolved, and it is even more difficult to resist. I heard that another Outer God has come beyond the barrier. She is called the 'Goddess of Fate', the eldest daughter of the 'Fallen Mother Goddess', and controls the river of fate."
"The weaver of the fate of all things, the symbol of the final judgment, the goddess of the eternal future." The Goddess of Night said faintly, "I have known of His existence for a long time, but I didn't expect Him to come to Earth so soon. In this way, even if the 'Uncertain Fog' is resolved, we still have to face the Nine Old Ones."
The words of the goddess made Angel fall into the negative mood not long ago. She forced a smile and said:
"Perhaps it is because there are exactly nine Essence in the Earth, and this is the arrangement of fate. Fortunately, if we can make all nine Essence have their own owners, then we can also have nine Old Ones, and two of them are 'pillars', while the Outer Gods only have one."
Of course, this premise is that Klein can defeat Amon, obtain the Sequence 1 characteristics and uniqueness of the adjacent path, and the "True Creator" Grisha Adam takes back the characteristics of his three Angel Kings, and lifts the seal of the Western Continent before the end of the world and releases the other seven Essence.
If there is a slight mistake in the middle, the Earth will face an overwhelming disadvantage.
When Angel added these "conditions" in her mind, the Goddess of Night laughed and calmed her down with her soft voice:
"Don't worry, we still have enough time. In addition, there are more than three 'pillars' that you know about.
"In the research of 'Ancient Sun God' Grisha, this universe has an implicit fourth pillar
