Klein waved his hand to stop him from talking. "Any other clues?"
"This... not yet.!d,a′k!a~i\t?a~.\co?m¨"
Klein turned and left the dungeon. Secretary Lu Er'an quickly followed him and whispered, "Admiral, I have sent someone out to look for him."
"Heh, if you were the prisoner who could teleport, would you continue to stay in Bayam?"
Lu Er'an lowered his head, "...No."
"And the owl?"
"…I'm still looking."
Klein frowned. "If the owl also falls into the hands of the prisoner kidnapper, this matter will basically be irreversible."
"I see..."
"Go ahead."
At this moment, two girls dressed as maids ran over in a hurry: "Your Excellency...General."
Lu Er'an quickly stopped in front of Klein and scolded him, "What are you so flustered about?"
"Miss Cynthia...she's gone."
"What?"
The two maids immediately knelt down. "We just realized that she was not in the room. We looked for her everywhere but couldn't find her... She, she seemed to have left the Governor's Mansion."
Lu Er'an's face turned pale. As Admiral Amyrius's secretary, he was basically in charge of all matters of the Governor's Office. However, in such a short period of time, such things happened one after another - although they had nothing to do with him directly, it did not prevent Admiral Amyrius from thinking that he was incompetent.
Klein was a little confused at the moment. Wasn't it agreed that he would pretend to be Amyrius to handle daily affairs and create the illusion that the admiral had been staying in the Governor's Mansion?
Why did all these bad things happen one after another in just one day? The key is that these things are closely related to Amyrius, and he has no choice but to intervene.
Klein glanced at the people present with a cold look, and walked towards Amyrius's mistress's room without saying a word. Lu Er'an and two servants hurriedly followed.
Soon, they came to a small house that looked quite exquisite and gorgeous from the outside. Through the window, they could see the layout inside, which was quite warm, as if they wanted to deliberately create a "home" feeling.
Klein pushed the door open and entered the room, only to remember that Amyrius did not know how to tell fortunes, so using personal belongings to find someone would have to be done by other Beyonders in the Governor's Mansion who knew how to tell fortunes.
He walked straight into the bathroom, picked up a white toothbrush on the washstand, turned around and was about to tell his secretary to go to Luan, but found that neither he nor the two maids followed him in.
Are you avoiding it?
No, according to the information left by Amyrius, neither he nor Lyrian were people with this kind of personality, otherwise Amyrius would not have let others impersonate him - although Klein would not have a physical relationship with his mistress, some hugs and kisses were still inevitable.
Just as I thought of this, a woman suddenly walked out of the bedroom. She was tall and well-proportioned, wearing the clothes of a native of Rorsted, with long dark brown hair and blue eyes. Her appearance was not stunning, but she looked a bit heroic.
She was obviously not Amyrius's mistress.
Some look familiar,
But I couldn't remember who it was at first.
Klein immediately tensed his muscles, ready to take action at any time.
"Oh."
The woman just smiled at Klein and said something he couldn't understand but that made his hair stand on end:
"Are you... the new Lord of Mysteries?"
...
Lilith's call for help did not receive a response for a long time. She was of course aware that something was wrong, but all she could do now was to use the (Moonlight) Flash that came with [Lilith's Leg Ring] to stay as far away from the monster as possible.
But the monster suddenly disappeared.
"Where did you go?!"
The next second, the ground beneath her feet trembled, and with a crackling sound, the huge monster that the woman had transformed into emerged from under Lilith's feet. The branches around her body exploded like fireworks, and flowers with teeth bloomed on each branch, biting at her.
Lilith wanted to dodge, but her movements suddenly froze and her body stopped in mid-air, unable to dodge.
Click!
She was swallowed by the strange flower.
Bang!
The swallowed Lilith suddenly shrank into a magic wand, and her real body appeared several meters away.
But the monster's attack did not stop. The fully extended branches wrapped around Lilith like a dragnet. "Give me back the necklace!!"
At this moment, the monster let out a scream, and the branches that were like a dragnet quickly withered.
Lilith seized the opportunity and used Moonlight Flash again, going more than ten meters away. When she turned around, she saw that the monster was covered with black flames - its branches, flowers, and body were all burned by the black flames, becoming dry and charred.
"Huh?"
The moment she saw the flames, Lilith thought it was Edward who came to save her, but then she realized that the color of the fire was wrong - it was clearly the black flame unique to the Witch's Path!
But she quickly looked around and didn't see anyone else.
"ah!!!"
The screams of the "tree monster" wrapped in black flames became more and more miserable, until a certain moment the black flames completely enveloped her, and her tall body fell down with a loud bang, without any breath.
"Dead?"
Lilith's eyes widened, her face full of questions.
Mr. Harry the Owl shouted: "Stop looking and run away."
At this moment, Phoenix also felt that the gaze that made it unable to move had disappeared, so it hurriedly flew after Lilith and the others.
Thus, the streets that were quite bustling just now suddenly became quiet.
At least, that's what it looks like.
Christine quietly looked at another woman not far away who had long black hair, skin as white as snow, and was extremely beautiful, and asked, "Judith, what do you want to do?"
That's right, the woman who was staring at Phoenix and making it unable to move was Judith, Christina's twin brother (sister) from the same mother.
"Of course I'm saving you."
Judith took a few steps forward, smiling.
"Save me?" Christine frowned. "Do you mean to attack someone I value?"
"No, no, no! What happened just now has nothing to do with me. It was purely the work of the Rose School. I... just came to watch the show and save you by the way."
"How are you going to save me?"
"Of course, it's to prevent you from participating in what happens next."
Christine's pupils trembled and her figure disappeared.
But the next second, she reappeared and found that two more charming women appeared around her: "Blue Witch, Yellow Witch..."
Christine's expression was cold. "Why did you inform me to go to the Governor's Mansion?"
"I didn't ask you to go. I just told you, the child, what you would encounter in the Governor's Mansion. It was you who decided to go."
"Why?"
"I don't know either. My mother asked me to tell you. She said...she wanted to verify an idea."
Judith stepped forward and said in a gentle and soft voice:
"Sister, just stay here and wait for the end of this show tonight."
Chapter 443 Christine
Lilith and Mr. Harry were running along the dim streets.
More than ten minutes later, only when they were sure that no one was catching up with them did they dare to slow down and take a breath.
But at this moment, Mr. Harry suddenly fell from the air and whispered, "Something's wrong!"
"What's wrong?"
"Everything around here is wrong. Normally, the lights in the houses around here should be on at this time. Also... that bar over there shouldn't be so quiet!"
Mr. Harry opened his big eyes and turned his head 360 degrees to observe the surroundings. "Something is wrong! It's really wrong!"
Phoenix suddenly flew out of the darkness and landed on Lilith's shoulder, startling Mr. Harry: "What is this?!"
Lilith got angry when she saw it, "Phoenix, why didn't you come out to help just now?!"
"I was... Oh, that's not important anymore!"
Just as Phoenix was about to explain, he immediately said, "I just wanted to find Edward, but... but there is a particularly scary guy hiding in the spirit world. I feel that if I dare to enter the spirit world, I will definitely die miserably!"
Lilith was a little confused and didn't quite understand what Phoenix said.
"Look at that dice!"
Mr. Harry urged.
As soon as Lilith took out the jewelry box, she heard a rustling sound coming from inside. When she opened it, she saw the dice spinning wildly.
There are no points on it at all.
"What does this mean?!"
Mr. Harry was also confused. His knowledge of the dice was limited to what Roy King had said, that it was a seal related to luck. Numbers 1-3 represented bad luck, and 4-6 represented good luck. However, this dice would try to roll as small a number as possible in order to kill the person who possessed it.
But... Roy King never said that you can't earn points just by transferring.
Phoenix's dark eyes suddenly became deep, "This shows that it... is afraid and dare not roll any points."
"Why?"
Phoenix looked around: "Because there is someone or something nearby that it fears."
Da da da.
As if to confirm its statement, a series of unhurried footsteps were heard.
There were two people. One was an old man with brown skin, deep wrinkles on his face, and sparse white hair like autumn leaves. The other had a high nose bridge, thick black hair, and slightly curly hair. He looked like a mixed-race middle-aged man.
"A little devil and two birds?"
Even the Rose School, whose brains were a little abnormal, felt that this combination was a little strange.
The old man Jacks turned his head to look at the middle-aged man and asked, "Which one is it?"
"have no idea."
Jax nodded, "Then kill them all."
He opened his mouth and a sharp and piercing howl came out of it.
In just a moment, Mr. Harry turned in the air and fell straight to the ground. Only Lilith and Phoenix, who had the physical bonus of the [Lilith Leg Ring], persisted in the intense pain.
Phoenix then spat out the Death Ring, a wave flashed in his pupils, and a bronze door appeared out of thin air. Then countless undead creatures poured out like a tide, a few of them pounced on the two people opposite, and most of them formed a "wall" composed of layers of undead creatures, wrapping them up.
This is something Phoenix learned from the sacrificial rituals of Admiral Ludwell of Hell and the Spirit Cult. With the blessing of the high-level status of the Ring of Death, it can definitely stop the demigod for a period of time.
"I hope... Edward can come here during this time."
But it couldn't help but have some doubts in its heart: Even if Edward could come... would it really make sense? The guy hiding in the spirit world...
At least she is an angel!
As for the existence that could scare the dice into spinning non-stop...how powerful is it?
...
Full of doubts, Edward left Oravi Island and returned to Bayam.
Edward took the words of the Life Councillor, Richoed, seriously to heart. This was not the first time he had dealt with the Rose School.
Although there were a few times that could be considered "coincidences", when hunting Butis, the Rose School came for him, and with the new and old grudges that followed, it was normal for them to want revenge on him. -First\First?Read?Book¨Net* +Pursue?The Core￠璋￠劫~
But what's abnormal is that Richaud's description is... too horrifying.
"I saw the afterimage of the end of the world."
The afterimage of doomsday... is it referring to the Mother Tree of Desire behind the Rose School?
However, the Rose School has believed in the Mother Tree of Desire for a long time. Ever since the Bound God caused the Mother Tree of Desire to break up and the evil god Suea was born, the Rose School has been in the shape of the Mother Tree of Desire for at least hundreds of years. If they could really see any "afterimages of the end of the world", they would have seen it long ago!
Could it be that... the Mother Tree of Desire's erosion of the earth has intensified?
Tsk, how are you seven gods as goalkeepers? Don't defend for such a long time and still let the team beat you 7-0!
While he was complaining, Edward suddenly felt something was wrong:
It's so quiet around!
It doesn't look like it was just dark.
He took out his wand, walked to the nearest window and looked inside: the room was pitch black, and he could hear the occasional snoring.
"You're asleep so early?"
Edward went to several other nearby homes and found that they were all pretty much the same. However, from the untouched food on the tables of some homes, it was enough to tell that their sudden sleep was not what they wanted.
He immediately put on his invisibility cloak and, using the buoyancy of the air, leapt to a relatively high rooftop. He looked around: the huge Bayam was completely dark, as if it was not sunset but the early morning.
"Something big has happened."
But for such a big thing, didn't the demigod governor of Bayam and the sea king of the Storm Church not far from Bayam react at all? (Admiral Amyrius: Don't disturb me because I'm on a business trip. Arne Kottman: I don't care about Amyrius!)
"Lilith!"
Edward couldn't help but panic, and he wanted to teleport over to find her immediately, but the moment he had this thought, his spirit started to warn him frantically:
Can't enter the spirit world!
Dangerous! Deadly!
Edward was startled, and suddenly remembered that he had encountered this situation when he was hunting Admiral Onisel of Blood and was being hunted by the demigod of the Rose School - the god of the Rose School, S'ea, was able to assist the Rose School by descending from the spirit world and attacking the target!
Combined with what Councillor Richoed said, could it be that Sua is already in the spirit world? !
But the problem is...
Why didn't He just do it to me?
For a Sequence 1 angel to deal with a Sequence 5, does he need a cat to launch a sneak attack in the spirit world?
Edward couldn't figure it out, and didn't waste any more time. He took out his wand and used the divination technique: "Lilith's location. Fantasy! Ji¨ ~ choke ￠ Xin· sin, chopsticks_"
The wand shook for a while and then fell in one direction.
Edward immediately jumped up, constantly using [Utilization] and [Distortion] to propel himself quickly towards the direction where the wand fell.
Everything around him was rapidly retreating, and Edward was becoming more and more anxious. He now had only one thought, that is, nothing must happen to Lilith!
After taking off and landing several times in a row, Edward crossed the small town of Bayam in a short time. Just as he kicked off the ground and flew out again, he suddenly felt the air around him become sticky.
He was like a bullet shot into the water. Under the sticky resistance from all directions, his speed slowed down rapidly until he reached a critical point and fell vertically from mid-air.
Edward immediately activated the [Hide] ability of the invisibility cloak, and the illusory pages of the book turned in front of his eyes, ready to use the last record of [The Emperor's New Clothes] on himself at any time.
Da da da.
At this moment, there was a sound of light footsteps and Edward turned his head to look.
A woman wearing the clothes of the Rorsted aboriginals came towards him. Although the darkness obscured her face, it was this blurry state that made Edward recognize that she was the woman that the Celestial Church had asked the Poseidon Sect to send to the Governor's Palace!
Soon, the woman walked into the crimson moonlight, revealing a smiling face, but Edward's heartbeat suddenly stopped:
How could it be her?!
How could it be her?!
Christine!
Christine, the one from the Abraham family who died and was resurrected!
Didn't she go out to sea to look for the family treasure and the Silent Laurel? Why did she suddenly appear here and become the one that the Celestial Cult wanted to send to the Governor's Mansion?
What the hell is going on?!
When Christine walked to about five or six meters away from Edward, she stopped and smiled slightly, "Finally I see you."
"???"
Edward was stunned. "Finally" saw him?
The next second, he felt a strong stabbing pain in the spirit all over his body. It was a feeling he had never experienced before. The spirit couldn't even remind itself to escape quickly like before. Instead, it became speechless due to extreme fear and could only tremble instinctively.
But why is this happening?
Even if Christine was contaminated with the scent of the Mother Tree of Desire, she wouldn't fall into this state, right?
Unless, the one in front of you is the Mother Tree of Desire... this tree - the afterimage of rnm's doomsday!
"You are... the Mother Tree of Desire?"
Edward asked in a low voice, suppressing the spiritual pain.
Christine shook her head. "No, but I am here because of Him."
"The knowledge you spread has attracted His attention, and He has gradually located you. Next, He will mobilize all of His power on this planet to erase you... or completely control you like He controlled the Bound God."
Edward: I'm really asking for death.
"And I am here to save you."
Edward gritted his teeth, "Why?"
"Because I want... you to give birth to a child for me."
I... give birth to a child for you?
But I'm a man?!
After a brief moment of confusion, Edward's mentality exploded:
Oh shit!
Is this a Fallen Mother Goddess that is even more terrifying than the Mother Tree of Desire? ! !
"I want to play a game with you."
Christine smiled slightly and said, "In the next period of time, if... you ask me for help, then you have to give birth to a child for me. If you never ask for help, then this matter ends here."
"How about it?"
Chapter 444: The Rose School's Siege
Not very good!
Who the hell wants to play games with you Outer Gods!
Edward roared in his heart, but his expression was cold: "Why has the power of your Outer God been able to penetrate here?"
"Our infiltration has never stopped, but before the barrier disappears, we can only cause indirect impact and pollution."
"But you..." You're standing right in front of me!
Christine, or rather the Fallen Mother Goddess, still smiled. "I am different because I am both the Him you guessed and not completely Him."
This is the specious answer again!
You guys all graduated from the same training class?
"Is there anything else you want to ask?"
At this moment, the Fallen Mother Goddess did not seem to have a single bit of the madness that an Outer God should have. Apart from the strange smile on her face, she looked calm and rational.
"Why did you land in her...Christine's body?"
She smiled: "Is there a possibility...she has been...
That's me?
"!!!"
Is Christine the Fallen Mother Goddess?
How is this possible?
As soon as Edward had this thought, he immediately reacted: Why not?
