"Hey, why are you so considerate tonight?"
"Ms. Lilith is always very considerate~"
She said seriously, "Miss Lilith has always remembered what Edward did for me. She will never, ever forget it. "
Edward turned his head and gently touched her head with his forehead, "Thank you so much Lilith~"
"Yes!"
She also gently nudged Edward, "Edward has always protected me, from now on, Miss Lilith will protect Edward~"
"You should advance to Sequence 7 first."
Lilith said proudly: "Hehe, it's very quick~"
"Okay, I look forward to it~"
After coaxing the little guy for a while, Edward sat on the bed with his clothes on, thinking about what he had gained tonight:
The first thing was to avenge Lilith. No matter what the thief demigod's intention was when he parasitized Lilith, as long as he intended to hurt Lilith, that would be a "way to death"!
Secondly, although there were no substantial extraordinary characteristics or sealed objects gained tonight, the biggest gain was once again experiencing the difficulty of the Thief's Path.
You know, except for the thief from Jacob's family who went crazy and planned to die together, he had been trying to escape from the beginning to the end. Even so, Edward felt a sense of weakness - and she was still seriously injured.
If it were Amon, who was so good at stealing, the three of them would have confessed long ago.
But the reality is that he will face Amon one day - it is impossible to say that in the original book, Amon was dealt with by Klein, and Edward waited for Klein to deal with it with peace of mind.
What if something unexpected happens?
It's not a one-shot deal! With the current plot development, there are fewer and fewer places in the original novel that can be used as references. Who knows if Amon will pop up in advance?
But...
Edward rubbed his hair. To deal with a guy like Amon, it seemed that he could only deal with him through higher-order suppression and strong bricks. · I, got*Book_City, ~First*Post-
But He is now the King of Angels... How can He be higher than Him?
Thinking of this, Edward lifted the quilt and lay down: Don't think about it, let's go to sleep!
As sleepiness gradually set in, his last thought was: If the remaining materials and the shepherd's characteristics don't arrive in time, I will use [Madness on the Right] to forcibly reverse it!
...
The next morning.
Edward first went to have breakfast with Audrey, mainly to tell her what happened last night so that she wouldn't keep worrying about it.
After a few days of settling down, what happened in the Hall family last weekend has gradually been forgotten, and the headlines of newspapers have changed to the "ghost ship incident" in Pritz Harbor - a ship inexplicably appeared in the abandoned harbor, and all the crew members on board died for unknown reasons.
Other witnesses said that there seemed to be a lot of unfamiliar faces suddenly appearing near the port of Pritz, and official agencies intervened at the first time, apparently trying to catch these "stowaways."
Audrey returned to her daily life as the eldest daughter of the Hall family: rich, free, simple, and boring.
Fortunately, after getting the hypnotist's formula, she had an extra layer of anticipation every day: when she could collect all the materials and advance to Sequence 6.
At noon, Edward received two pieces of good news at once.
The first is that Miss Yedanshu, Reinette Tophénix, sent the entire body of the Spirit World Traveler. In addition to its body fluids being used by Sequence 5, its pituitary gland will also be used as auxiliary materials for the Sequence 4 Mystic.
The second was that Mr. A had sent a message that Miss D, who was sent by the headquarters to "help" him, would arrive in Backlund by train today. In addition, the shepherd's extraordinary characteristics had been found. Edward seriously suspected that his "finish" was to kill Miss D and obtain the extraordinary characteristics she extracted.
However, Edward did not object to this, as there were not many good people in the Aurora Society anyway.
After lunch, he was about to go find Mr. A when Bernadette's messenger brought a message: She asked her subordinates about the materials Edward mentioned yesterday and confirmed that she could get some of them, including the shepherd's extraordinary characteristics, but if she wanted them, she would have to wait.
Edward was in a happier mood: "It's good to have more friends. If there's no light in the east, there will be light in the west!"
But he suddenly had an idea:
By the way, my luck has suddenly become so good, could it be that the little snake has quietly arranged good luck for me?
"Lilith, go find Audrey later and ask her to send some more ice cream to Dr. Allen's house."
Chapter 312 Miss D is here
Lilith thought for a while, "Oh, is it for the lame kid we had dinner with last time?"
"That's right."
"Ms. Lilith liked that kid very much. He gave me the ice cream to eat."
At this point she suddenly said, "Oh, I haven't seen Priscilla for a long time!"
"When I come back, I'll take you to play with her."
"Okay~"
"Then I'm going out to do some work~"
"Bye~"
The next moment, Edward arrived at Mr. A's residence.
"You came a little later than I expected."
Mr. A was having a meal, holding a fork in one hand and cutting a piece of bright red steak with a knife in the other, then stuffing the beef, which was still oozing blood, into his mouth.
"Didn't Miss D arrive in Backlund tonight?"
Mr. A put down his knife and fork and said, "I plan to take the initiative to find her."
"What's the plan?"
He clasped his hands together again and said calmly, "I want to make sure whether she will affect my plan. If not, then I will go to meet her. If she does... the train suddenly derailed during the journey, causing a large number of casualties. Miss D was unfortunately killed. It is reasonable, right?"
"…"
Edward frowned and said, "Do you have to involve innocent people when you do things?"
"All those who do not believe in our Lord are innocent!" Mr. A said coldly, "The Lord hung Himself upside down bearing the sin and pain for the sake of the world, but the people who were saved not only do not appreciate Him, but instead regard Him as an evil god!"
"You think they shouldn't die?"
Edward said patiently, "Is it possible that everyone's attitude towards the Lord is related to the Aurora Society's behavior over the years?"
Mr. A looked at him coldly and did not answer. "Let's go."
Alas, it is really stupid to try to reason with a crazy believer. Fortunately, my painting frame can open up a separate space. However, Edward felt that his "friendship" with Mr. A would not last long.
"To the western suburbs of East Tucker County."
Mr. A left a place name, then switched to the soul of a shepherding traveler, and stepped into the spirit world and traveled away.
"Hey, wait a minute, I haven't been to East Tucker County!"
Edward sighed and called out Phoenix, "Phoenix, do you know East Tucker County in Backlund?"
It shook its head, "I don't know."
"Can you sense Mr. A's location?"
"OK."
"Take me there."
"Okay~"
The Phoenix spread its wings and approached, grabbing his clothes with its claws. Everything around him suddenly became colorful, and Edward once again came to the magical spiritual world.
However, unlike the last time they went to Calderon City, this time they only flew in the spirit world for more than ten seconds before they tore through the air and flew out again. Mr. A was standing by the railroad tracks a few meters away.
"Thank you for your hard work. Let's go back."
East Tucker County is located to the west of Backlund. Its overall latitude is similar to Backlund, and it is also close to the coastline, so the temperature is roughly the same. However, compared to Backlund, the environment here is much better. After all, the degree of industrialization here is much lower, and the vegetation coverage rate is also much higher.
Edward walked forward and complained, "Mr. A, if it weren't for my messenger who could take me through the spirit world, it would have been too late by the time I got here."
Mr. A looked at the end of the track and asked, "Don't you also have some kind of teleportation ability?"
But Apparition can only go to places you've been to before.
He complained in his heart but didn't say it out loud.
"Can you tell me some information about Miss D? Her sequence, path, seals, etc. If a fight really breaks out, I can prepare for it in advance."
Mr. A shook his head: "I don't know."
"have no idea?"
"Because the envoy codenamed D was originally Ms. D, a shepherd of the same sequence as me."
He frowned and explained, "Generally speaking, if the messenger of God is not dead, the code name will not be changed, but this Miss D seems to have appeared suddenly and directly replaced the original Ms. D."
"What about the original Ms. D?"
Mr. A smiled coldly, "She was killed because she disobeyed orders and fought with Miss D. The shepherd characteristics I told you about are hers."
"…"
This is really a cult where crazy people gather. They kill each other over a disagreement. This envoy of God is more or less a middle-level person in the Aurora Society. How could he be killed like this?
Edward observed a three-second silence for the deceased Ms. D, and then thanked her from the bottom of his heart for her contribution to his promotion to Sequence 5.
Mr. A said in a low voice: "So, I don't really want to have a conflict with the new Miss D..." He paused for two seconds, "If it's possible."
I find it very difficult.
Half an hour later.
A "wuwuwu" whistle sounded from a distance, and then the rails in front began to vibrate, and the noise became louder and louder. Soon, a steam train came from a distance, spewing smoke.
Mr. A turned around and said, "Let's go to the platform at East Tucker County."
He handed over a ticket.
Edward was stunned: "What do you mean?"
"Oh, what? You plan to get on the bus without buying a ticket?"
"???"
Edward found that he could not keep up with his train of thought. Why was he doing things in a haphazard manner?
