Chapter 555 Chapter 133 Whirlpool
Then he didn't become a demigod until he was 40 years old... Alice calculated the man's age, looked him up and down, and then Klein asked:
"When did you convert to my Lord?"
The "Lord" here refers to the Lord of the Underworld.
Brian recalled for two or three seconds and said: "At that time, I had just passed my 30th birthday."
...Ah?
He embarked on the extraordinary path at the age of 30 and became a demigod at the age of 40. Although this speed is nothing compared to Klein, it can be compared to Klein. It itself explains the problem.
As for herself... Alice doesn't think the promotion route of the "fate" path has any reference value.
Recalling Brian's origins, Alice lowered her head and realized that Brian might be related to the "artificial death god".
——This can also explain why he received the oracle.
It sounds like the goddess can only contact him.
Klein continued to ask:
"What is your public identity now?"
"I am a businessman. I have opened two garment factories in Backlund. On the surface, I believe in the Goddess of Night and am a supporter of the New Party..." Patrick Brain introduced.
...Ah?
Alice, who knew what was underneath the shell of the "artificial death god", was really confused for a moment. She opened her mouth in surprise and was amazed by this.
What a devout believer!
Klein's mood was similar to Alice's, but he said without showing any abnormality on his face:
"How many members of the Spiritual Cult do you have under you, and what are they doing?"
Brain answered fluently and well prepared:
"Two groups, twelve extraordinary people, some of them work in my garment factory, some work in the watch shop, and each has a formal job.
"Generally speaking, they will carefully spread the faith of God around them. The progress in this regard is very slow, and it is not the main purpose. The total number of believers does not exceed one hundred.
"Most of the time, they are collecting clues about various things left by the gods, as well as the different materials needed for the awakening ceremony.
"With the clues, we will take some actions accordingly, and after the materials are prepared, we will experiment with different awakening rituals to find the most effective one. I am the host of the action and the core element of the ritual."
Klein asked about other situations and got detailed answers. Alice soon became distracted by this question and answer until Klein said the closing words:
"Follow the decree of the gods, from now on, you will listen to my orders."
Alice gathered her thoughts and focused on Klein, who had a serious expression. She blinked twice and waited for Klein to speak next.
He didn't intend to play the role of the follower very well. Alice watched him make a series of instructions after guessing, and finally couldn't help asking him:
"Have you often received such tasks that don't explain anything clearly and rely on your own guessing? "
Former office worker Klein chose to remain silent on this topic. He placed his right hand on his chest and began to preach devoutly:
"God said that one must understand what he believes before he can believe.
"God said that for those who are lost, he must first strengthen his body and arm his mind, because the kingdom He promised is not barbaric or ignorant."
Alice began to wonder which god said this.
Patrick Blaine did not question Dwayne Dantes' words, and was not surprised why these two sentences were not recorded in the scriptures of the Spiritual Cult, because the other party was a favored person of the gods and a designated agent of the gods!
He nodded sincerely and said:
"I will keep God's teachings in mind.
"May every soul live forever in God's kingdom! "
While speaking, he raised his hands, with his thumbs facing each other and touching the center of his forehead. This is the prayer posture currently adopted by the "Spiritual Cult". In the corresponding mystical theory, this is the core of the underworld in every "gatekeeper", representing the position of the god of death.
Klein responded to this prayer, and after giving a few more instructions, he revealed the identity of German Sparrow through the messenger. Brian was stunned for a moment and then said in surprise:
"Your Highness the Archon of Death? !"
Alice looked at him in surprise. For the first time, she knew that faith and brain can coexist, at least with basic thinking ability.
After they chatted for a while, Patrick Brian left. At this time, Alice had almost forgotten why she came. She scratched her hair and was about to say something, but Klein spoke first:
"By the way, Alice, when I was in the southern continent, I found that they had a custom. Now I think it may be suitable for you. "
Alice stopped curiously and waited for him to continue. Klein said freely:
"During the Balam Empire, the territories directly under the royal family retained a special custom. For them, the death of a relative did not mean the end of their relationship with them. Before burial, they would take a piece of bone from the body of their relative and place it at home as a decoration to show that the deceased and the living are together.
"The specific bone to be chosen is decided by the priest presiding over the funeral through a ceremony. The best and most symbolic one is the skull.
"Some families will also make skulls into wine glasses and only use them when entertaining the most distinguished people.
"When I was in West Balam, I met a man who tried to entertain me with a wine glass made from his grandfather's skull..."
Hearing this, Alice couldn't help showing a sympathetic expression on her face, but Klein didn't care much. He shook his head and smiled:
"If I remember correctly, your 'restart' should retain your original body? Have you ever considered turning the skull of your original body into a wine glass after your 'restart'..."
Alice's expression became distorted, and she said to Klein sincerely:
"You are indeed more human than me. I can't come up with such a brilliant idea."
Klein didn't care, he glanced at Alice, smiled at Alice and asked:
"Are you not interested in this suggestion?"
"Uh..." Alice paused, "Although it does sound strange, it... seems to be quite commemorative."
This proposal was entirely made by Klein based on his knowledge of Alice, so Alice's answer did not surprise him. He just rolled his eyes at Alice, and then said:
"Go back. It's midnight. It's time for me to go to bed. I hope you do too."
Only then did Alice remember the reason why she appeared here in the middle of the night. She slapped the table, glared at Klein and said:
"Why are you scaring me!"
"Judging from the digestion feedback of the potion, I think you probably weren't too frightened..." Klein shook his head, "It seems like this method isn't that effective for you... Can you tell me the flaws in my plan?" Where?"
Alice choked for a moment, and she suddenly realized that after experiencing the characteristics of high-sequence feedback with one against a hundred, Klein seemed... to have learned bad things!
"Klein!" she yelled angrily.
Klein nodded and said "Yeah."
Alice's eyes widened. She wanted to hit Klein, but she was so restrained that hitting him would not relieve his anger at all. It would even make him more angry, so she would use all her strength to hit him...
Even demigods are vulnerable in front of angels.
For the first time, she experienced Klein's feeling of being so angry and unable to do anything. After giving Klein a vicious look, she simply explained to him:
"It's not that I wasn't scared, but...if my spiritual intuition didn't tell me that there was danger, I wouldn't be too scared. You've been very successful in scaring me.
"In addition, if you plan to take the Scare Angel test to gain performance progress, you should be careful about two things...
"First, don't scare an angel who is in poor condition. If you accidentally scare someone out of control, you will be in big trouble.
"Second, you'd better think carefully before getting scared..."
At this point, Alice stopped speaking, glared fiercely, and then continued:
"Oh, if you get beaten up for scaring people outside, I don't care about you."
Klein suppressed his smile and said, "Don't worry, I was just trying it out, I won't really catch you and scare you all the time."
The main reason is that the effect of scaring her again is not that good. If she is frightened too many times, it may desensitize her. When she sees Amon as well as me, she will be in big trouble... And she is right, I do I haven't considered the influence of spiritual intuition. Maybe next time, I should choose a partner with poor spiritual intuition... uh, wait a minute.
Do I remember that she warned me that Medici was coming to find me? "Red Priest"... Judging from the performance of Daniz and Anderson, the spiritual intuition of this path is very poor...
Klein was ready to make a move.
Alice glanced at Klein suspiciously, and after receiving an unchanging smile, she glared at him fiercely and left.
After returning home, Alice, who had no need for sleep, was naturally not sleepy at all. She had no intention of continuing to sleep for a while, and stood by the window, looking thoughtfully at the red moon in the sky.
Adam successfully obtained "0-08". Despite her lack of understanding of Adam's current situation, Alice also knew that that was probably the last "writer" extraordinary characteristic that Adam lacked.
As for Patrick Blaine from the "Spiritual Order", no matter how he was born, his appearance at least shows that the goddess has initially grasped the uniqueness of the "God of Death", and she has indeed received blessings when she prayed to the "Artificial God of Death" Over response...
In addition, there are vengeful spirits running out of the ground - even if Alice knows that they are just vengeful spirits and not the "Red Angels" of the past, as angels, their existence is special, and their most obvious characteristics are yes……
An angel will inevitably have an impact on the area where he is located.
Backlund seemed calm, but Alice could vaguely sense that the fates above the city were entangled with each other, forming a vortex with huge gravity, constantly pulling everyone towards the center of the vortex.
In other words, Backlund was afraid something was going to happen.
Maybe it's not just Backlund... After all, Adam is going to become a god. The birth of a new god is probably a world-wide change...
Alice scratched her head with a headache and let out a long sigh, with a slight look of despair on her face.
As an angel of the "destiny" path, an incarnation of "uniqueness" in a sense, Alice is actually aware of the impact she will bring - which is why she collapsed here today.
The influence of fate is not specific. Its core is change, and whether it is calm or stormy, or normal and small waves, it can be explained by change.
In other words, where she is, whether or not anything happens is normal.
But Alice is certain of one thing - if something happens, she must be in the center of the whirlpool, and everything is inseparable from her.
Even if she didn't mean to.
Just like now, Alice felt that she finally understood the meaning of the seemingly ambiguous words in the ritual requirements. At this moment, she could vaguely feel the intersecting fates and the gradually forming vortex. Even if there was no "Cassandra", she probably just had to wait like this until everything broke out, and the ritual would naturally be completed.
And what finally broke out, without thinking, Alice was sure that it was a war, a war across the entire world.
...By the way, does this count as me taking advantage of Adam's ritual?
Alice touched her chin, thinking.
She had previously guessed with Klein what Adam's ritual was, and the final judgment was that the "dreamer"'s godhood ritual was probably to make the trend of the times she had expected to play out.
And the trend of the times that Adam expected, they all thought was a world war.
No, it's not quite the same...
Alice suddenly frowned. She realized that things couldn't be generalized from this. This was a world with gods, and the trend of the times was usually related to gods.
So, the trend of the times that Adam expected should be...
"The birth of a new god or the fall of an old god!" Alice blurted out.
In the silent night, Alice suddenly felt a flash of sharp fear. She turned her head almost instinctively, but there was nothing behind her. Only the hair on her body and the cold sweat on her body told the spiritual intuition that just flashed.
Alice's face turned pale. Although no one showed up and no one said anything to her, she had guessed what it was - it was undoubtedly Adam's warning.
She really guessed it right, so Adam was warning her not to do anything.
"To be honest, I dare not do anything..." Alice muttered softly, "Since '0-08' finally fell into your hands, it means that Ince Zangwill's defection is also related to you, at least the step of bringing out '0-08' is also related to you... The goddess probably reached an agreement with you."
She shook her head and sighed to herself:
"An agreement between a true god now and a true god in the past, even above the sequence... How can I intervene?
"But you should be generous, you should not mind if I take advantage of the ceremony... ? It should have no effect on your godhood ceremony...?"
The surroundings were still silent, and no one responded to her muttering, but at this moment, no response was the answer, and Alice laughed happily. (End of this chapter)
