Chapter 572 Intis, Come Out

"…"

Bernadette had been observing Mr. Sparrow's expression. Seeing him frown, purse his lips, and get angry, she hesitated for a moment, poked him with her finger, and asked, "Mr. Sparrow, what's wrong with you?"

"fine!"

Edward casually replied, "You continue to sleep, I'm going back first. \白¨马*书!院` \免!沸_岳+黩*"

"Hey wait!"

She shouted, aggrieved, "Mr. Sparrow, where have you been all this time? I've been worried about you."

Bernadette pursed her lips and muttered, "I finally came back, but you're leaving again without saying anything. You're just as unreliable as dad!"

Edward paused, helped her sit down on the sofa, and said softly, "I'm sorry, Beibei. It's mainly because of my current condition... There may be some problems. I'll come to see you again after I'm adjusted, okay?"

Her little face suddenly became nervous, "Ah? What's wrong with you?"

He did not explain the situation, mainly because it was too complicated and there were many things she could not know, so he simply summarized it and said: "It's just a minor injury, but it's okay now, just need a little more care."

"Ah, then you should go back and rest."

Bernadette quickly stood up and pushed Edward.

"Um."

Edward patted her head, "Good night then."

"Good night~"

The little girl waved her hand and watched Edward's figure disappear.

...

Back home,

The feeling of awkwardness and restraint almost reached the limit, and he felt a bit suffocated and unable to breathe, but Edward knew very well that he was not really hurt.

A simple analogy is that when an obsessive-compulsive disorder patient sees a mess in the house, he or she will feel an urgency to clean up everything. However, the stronger this urgency is, the stronger the rebellious psychology in the heart will be.

The two psychological states competed with each other, making Edward more and more irritable.

broken,

The impact of this kind of "resurrection" using memory is more serious than imagined.

Why do I feel like I'm in a rebellious phase right now? The more I'm told not to do something, the more I want to do it, and... this rebellion seems a little out of control.

Damn it, why do I seem like a rebellious teenager to Bernadette?

I haven't done anything rebellious.

Could it be that for her, hiding a "secret" from me and her parents, taking her out to sea to find mermaids in the middle of the night, and taking her to teach Roselle a lesson together was considered rebellion...

This seems really rebellious.

Bang!

Edward slapped him on the forehead.

Well, you have to bear the consequences of your own actions.

No matter what, the current situation is much better than before when humanity was lacking. He felt horrified when he thought about it now. At that time, when he knew that it might lead to major changes in the future and even cause irreparable impact on Klein and Audrey, he actually gave the same "answer" as Father Maozi: This is a necessary sacrifice.

It is difficult to say whether this is partly influenced by the memory of Father Maozi.

"The first step now is to find a way to stop the internal friction and stop worrying about whether or not to turn back into a child."

He quickly cleared his mind and diverted his attention away from the incident, and his body changed and turned back into the appearance of a boy.

"…"

Looking at my reflection in the window glass, I became angrier and angrier. What on earth is going on? Why is this happening?

He crossed his arms and angrily began to get to the bottom of the matter:

If I hadn't been promoted to Sequence 3, it wouldn't have turned out like this.

But if I hadn't obtained the materials, I wouldn't have had the chance to advance to Sequence 3.

If this is the case, I would not have been able to obtain the materials if it were not for Adam's arrangement.

If Amon hadn't been chasing me, I wouldn't have been arranged by Adam.

If Intis hadn't betrayed me, I wouldn't have been hunted down by Amon.

If not...

Huh?

Edward's eyes lit up: Great, we finally found the culprit!

You are such a good "Intis". Not only did you sell me to Amon, but you also disappeared afterwards and planned to renege on the compensation you promised to me. This is something my uncle cannot tolerate, and your aunt cannot tolerate even more!

I'm going to settle the score with you now!

With a thought, Edward transformed into Zaratul again and appeared in Intis's palace. He pinched his waist and shouted, "Intis, come out! I'm here to settle accounts with you!"

The clear sound instantly spread throughout the palace.

Soon, all the gas lamps that had been extinguished were lit up, and accompanied by hurried footsteps, a large number of soldiers rushed towards Edward.

He stamped his foot, and [False Reality] instantly covered half of the palace, trapping these soldiers, who were only at the mid-level at most, in an illusory maze. He then drove straight into the deepest part of the palace, shouting as he walked:

"Intis, if you don't come out soon, I'm going to tear this place down today!"

"You have the guts to trick me, but don't you have the guts to come out?"

"I know you are here, come out, come out!"

"Intis!"

Although his words and actions were arrogant, he did not forget to use space concealment to hide the surrounding area, and was ready to escape at any time when facing the two angels of the Sauron family, or even the strong men of the church.

But,

What puzzled him was that, not to mention the people from the church, even the two angels he met last time did not come out this time.

"Are you trying to close the door and beat the dog? Bah, I'm not a dog!"

Soon, with the help of divination, he arrived at a dark palace in the deepest part. Almost at the same time as he stepped into the palace, a man in black armor exuding the aura of a half-body walked out of the palace and turned into a black shadow and ran straight towards him.

Edward did not stop. He casually raised his hand and an illusory door suddenly appeared, swallowing up the man in black armor and exiling him into the void.

Then he appeared in the palace in a flash, shouting, "Intis, Intis! Your grandfather is here! Come out and see me!"

The lights in the palace came on, and a man in gorgeous clothes walked to the throne and sat down: "He... won't have the chance to come out to see you."

"Who are you..."

Edward raised an eyebrow, "The King of Intis? What's your name? It doesn't matter! What's wrong with 'Intis'? Why can't he see me?"

King Doloren Soran pinched his fingers and forced himself to remain as calm as possible: he knew that the old man in front of him was a Sequence 2 angel, and he... or the Intis royal family could not afford to offend him at all.

Normally, if a high-sequence Beyonder broke into a country's palace in the middle of the night, the church would definitely take action immediately. However, no church member has appeared so far, which clearly shows their attitude.

This is all thanks to the evil done by Buddhamunda!

"Your Mightiness,"

Doloren Soren said: "The 'Intis' you mentioned was sealed underground in Trier by a lady about three weeks ago."

"???"

Edward was stunned, "Are you sure?"

Just because you said He was sealed, I believed it. Doesn't that make me look stupid?

"If my guess is correct, you should be one of the people who accepted His commission to guard the Brass Pillar of Intis for Him. He originally wanted to use the Brass Pillar..."

Doloren Soran could not care less and explained everything in a concise and concise manner. Edward was stunned and kept saying "Fuck" in his heart: "Intis's commission actually hides such a big plan, involving so many things?"

So "Intis" is the Conqueror Beyonder in Trier's underground? ——It's just a living one!

So those brass sticks were just bait, to attract hunters and witch demigods?

It turns out that "Intis" really intends to sacrifice Trier as a price?

It turns out that "Intis" was a poor creature arranged by Adam from the beginning to the end?

It turns out that the reason why I didn't meet those two angels tonight was because they were all killed by Intis?

He really treats all beings equally, no matter if they are outsiders or family members!

No wonder Roselle will be able to seize power so easily and ascend the throne in the future. Now there is no one in the Sauron family who can fight.

"etc!"

Edward suddenly caught an important piece of information: "You said that the one who sealed Intis was a woman in a black dress?"

"That's right."

Isn't it such a coincidence?

Edward pinched his chin and thought for a while, then suddenly grinned childishly: "Do you mind if I take a look at your memory? I want to know what that woman looks like."

Doloren Soren: "..."

Are you taking it too far?

Do you really think my Sauron family doesn't have a Level 1 seal? The worst that can happen is that both sides will be destroyed!

After a while, he took a deep breath and said, "I can draw it for you."

"…That's fine."

Doloren Soren's fingers loosened around something hidden in his pocket.

"You were lying!"

"!!!"

The next second, a smile of great happiness and joy appeared on the young king's face - he was under the Imperius Curse.

Of course you have to see this kind of thing with your own eyes to ensure that nothing goes wrong.

Because he wanted to see if the black-robed woman mentioned by the king was the one he had seen, Edward did not choose to ask questions, but looked into her eyes and used [Legitimate Mindfulness].

Soon, several scenes appeared in his mind. He first confirmed that what the king had just said was true, and then he saw the woman in black robes in his memory:

"It's her indeed."

Could this woman be the disaster witch who betrayed the Witch Cult that "Intis" mentioned at the time - Sequence 2, an enemy of the Witch Cult. Could such a being know Lilith, or even know her information?

These scenes not only show the woman's appearance, but also what she said to the king at that time. Edward suddenly realized: No wonder several major churches were abnormally quiet that night, it turned out that it was the intention of the gods behind it.

Tsk, I thought "Intis" was some cunning old bastard who never tires of cheating people, but after all this time, he turned out to be a poor guy who was played around by a group of people. No wonder he suddenly became silent.

After learning the truth, Edward felt as if he had punched cotton, but the anger in his heart was greatly reduced.

"Huh?"

Just as he was about to run away, another message came from the king's mind, making his eyes widen: Oh! So this is why you didn't get married in all those years, and why you hurriedly looked for a woman the day after "Intis" was sealed and the family angel died?

This young king turned out to be a woman!

Chapter 573 Meeting with Christine

At the beginning, her two brothers killed each other under the influence of "Intis", and she was inexplicably dragged out to become the new heir. In name, she was the highest authority in Intis, but in reality she was more of a puppet.

Being a king like this is really boring. If she were in an ordinary world, she might have a chance to slowly seize power with her intelligence and become a king with real power from a puppet - but no matter how smart she is, it is a joke to the extraordinary people who hold powerful power.

She wanted to escape, but was held back and unable to break free, which is why she was deceived by Intis's rhetoric that was full of flaws and loopholes.

Now that Intis was sealed and the family angel was dead, she finally won the chance to be free. After communicating with the royal family, the two sides reached a consensus.

After obtaining the tacit approval of the church, he did his best to help her advance to Sequence 4 and change her gender to male, then left her bloodline and then "died suddenly and faked her death" - after that, she was free.

Of course, all this was based on the fact that she had traded the witch's formula with the black-robed witch - yes, once she was free, she would jump to the witch's path and turn back into a woman.

Seeing this, Edward couldn't help but applaud: This whole set of hers really made her understand the adjacent channels, it was amazing!

Edward couldn't help but wonder, those things that the queen had done before with Intis...had she planned all of this in advance?

If that's the case, it's really terrifying!

A few minutes later, Doloren Soran broke free from the Imperius Curse and subconsciously tried to use the Sealing Object, but found that the old man had disappeared.

But she knew that the other party must have checked her memory through some method. Her face was gloomy, her fingers tightly grasped the throne, and she murmured: "Zaratul!"

...

Villa No. 15 Emerald Street.

There is silence in the dark night.

Except for the dim light in a bedroom on the second floor, the surroundings were pitch black with a hint of crimson.

Edward walked into the villa silently. There was no one else in the villa except two maids and a hostess.

The reason why he came over was to try to test the black-robed woman's abilities.

"Come in."

As soon as I arrived at the door of the room, I heard a soft voice from inside. .Salted fish!墈*book? *嶵*firewood!璋_节,更.辛¨剁,

Edward frowned. The enlarged Sequence 3 space was hidden. Even if the other party was a Sequence 2, there was no reason for him to be discovered so easily.

However, now that I have been discovered, there is no need to hide any longer.

He threw the coin and it passed through the wall into the room.

Christmena, wearing a thin black nightgown and with long hair draped over her shoulders, was holding a book in her hands. She looked up with a look of surprise in her eyes: "Zaratul? What are you doing here in the middle of the night?"

Edward chuckled calmly, "Such a big thing happened in Trier, of course I have to come back to take a look."

"What are you looking at? Wasn't the beating I gave you last time enough?"

"…"

Edward withdrew his smile and thought to himself: Huh? Was Zaratul so unrespectable in the past?

Even Zaratul can be beaten, this woman might be more dangerous than imagined.

"Oh."

Christmena suddenly put down the book and smiled: "You are not Zaratul."

"Oh, you were the one last time too?"

"I don't know what you're talking about, of course I am Zaratul!"

She shrugged: "Okay, okay, just pretend you are Him. Why did you come to see me in the middle of the night?"

"I just came back from Intis's palace."

"oh?"

"The king of Intis said that it was you who sealed the conqueror under Trier?"

Christine nodded: "Yes, He is your friend? You want to seek revenge on me?"

"Of course not. I have a grudge against Him, too."

"Oh, you're welcome. Of course, if you insist on being nice and thanking me, I can accept it with reluctance."

Edward: "…"

Why is this disaster witch different from the horrible existence that symbolizes "disaster" in our imagination? Why is she so naughty?

"That guy owed me something before he was sealed by you."

She looked regretful and said, "That's a pity. If the True God hadn't intervened, it would have taken another two hundred years to unlock His seal."

"Ah wait."

She was suddenly surprised and asked, "You are not going to ask me to compensate you for the loss just because I sealed Him?"

"That's… not the case."

Edward thought for a moment and said, "To be honest, I am one of the people He entrusted to help Him protect the brass stick."

"Didn't you just say you were Zaratul?"

"…"

"Puff."

Christmena covered her mouth and laughed, "Okay, okay, Zaratul can still accept the commission. You go on. I have a lot of self-control. I usually don't laugh unless I can't help it."

"…"

Edward took a deep breath, "He said that you are a traitor to the Witch Cult and are an enemy of the Witch Cult."

"Well, that's what happened."

"Can I know why you are against the Witch Cult? I once heard that all witches are children of the original witch, and the higher the sequence, the closer they are to Her. How did you become an enemy of Her?"

Christmena pinched her chin and thought for a while: "Maybe... the other witches are all the 'children' of Chick's mysticism, and I am His biological child."

"ah?"

"Forget it if you can't figure it out." She smiled faintly, "I have already answered your question, can you answer one for me?"

Edward nodded: "Of course."

She held her chin and tilted her head to look at Edward: "Why do you come to see me in the middle of the night?"

Christine stretched out a hand, and her fingertips traced almost invisible silk threads that spread around the entire room, wrapping Edward inside and out like layers of a net.

As long as she moved her fingers, she could crush Edward into pieces in an instant - her spiritual premonition told him that even if she used [Roaming], she might not be able to make it in time.

Edward could not help but be shocked: he had no idea when the witch opposite him did these things.

Fortunately, I can cancel the summon directly.

"Answer carefully. Even if it's the real Zaratul, you have to obey him at this time."

Edward said, "I want to ask you about someone."

"explain."

"Lilith..."

Suddenly, extreme danger came from all directions.

Swish!

The next moment, everything in the room was cut into powder.

"Escaped?"

Christine's eyes flickered, and her expression showed some surprise.

She wasn't sure about other witches, but for her, this would give her enough time to cast the lines and weave the web. At the same sequence, she was confident that she could severely injure or kill any other person - after all, she was not just a Sequence 2.

"Who the hell is this guy?"

Christine murmured, "Mom, do you know?"

"I don't know, little Crisemena."

A translucent arm then stretched out from her chest and waved gently. Everything in the room suddenly seemed to go back in time and quickly returned to its original appearance.

"But I think..."

Lilith retracted her hand and whispered, "He...maybe he has no ill will towards me. If we have a chance to meet again, I'd better ask him clearly before I take action."

"Okay, Mom."

"Woo, woo, I'm sleepy, I'm going to bed."

She yawned, "After I get enough sleep this time, I should set off."

...

After returning home, Edward immediately returned to his childish body shape. He kicked off his shoes and fell heavily on the bed, waving his arms repeatedly: "Awesome!!!"

It feels like wearing heavy clothes for a long time and finally taking them off, and feeling a sense of relief from the bottom of your heart.

Damn, if this continues, I'll probably get more and more used to using my child's body!
