Zaratul said calmly: "You have taken the initiative to invite me through the secret society, so of course I have to come back to take a look. What do you want from me?"

Roselle leaned against the wall, folded one arm and said, "I want to ask you something. Do you know a god called 'the Creator'? His statue is a man carrying a cross."

After a pause, he added: "Not the real Creator."

"…"

Zaratul's eyes narrowed: "Where did you hear about Him?"

"I heard it by chance during this voyage. Someone told me that it was not the Seven Gods but the Creator who led humans to defeat the various crazy monsters that once dominated the world and gave humans extraordinary powers... If the church heard such remarks, they would definitely be burned alive."

At this point, Russell smiled and said, "Judging from your reaction, you seem to understand."

"…"

Zaratul was silent for a moment. "In fact, I don't know the Creator you mentioned, but I know there is an extraordinary organization whose goal is to resurrect the Creator."

Russell's heart skipped a beat, but he smiled and said, "Wow! Resurrecting the Creator? This goal sounds really exciting. I want to join in, too! Do you have any connections?"

"No."

He shook his head, "I don't want to have too much trouble with them."

"All right."

Russell looked disappointed.

Zaratul looked at him and asked calmly, "Is this why you specifically came to see me?"

"Just one of them."

Roselle put down his glass, lowered his head and thought for a moment before saying, "Remember the last time I went out to sea, I told you about the gods above the gray fog?"

"Um."

"Do you know where that god came from?"

Zaratul gently stroked the wine glass with his fingers and asked: "I don't know, why are you interested in Him again?"

"Interested? No no no!"

Roselle shrugged and sighed: "I just feel that being targeted by such a being is too unsafe, so I want to know more about Him and ask for your advice. Excellent product, Xiao.Shuo*Wang!!Zui\Zui\Xin_Zhang+Jie\"

"I have no suggestions."

After a moment, Zaratul suppressed the inappropriate thoughts and said calmly, "Anything else?"

Roselle's face straightened: "Zaratul, can you really not reveal more about that organization and the gods above the gray fog? This is really important to me!"

"When you first found me, didn't you say you would give me some help in any way you could? But not even a little information?"

Zaratul put down his wine glass and said calmly: "Oh, I'm worried that you'll get yourself killed and implicate me."

He thought for a moment, "If you can bring me the Antigonus family's notes in advance, I can help you answer these questions. After all, no matter how you commit suicide at that time, it will have nothing to do with me."

After saying this, He took a step back and disappeared.

"Old fox!"

Roselle stared at the place where Zaratul disappeared and muttered. He shook his head, took out another bottle of red wine, and quickly left the storage room, all the way to the VIP room where the king rested.

"Excuse me, Your Majesty."

Roselle looked apologetic and said, "It took me a while to find this bottle of wine. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

"fine."

Doloren Solon stood by the window, glanced at the bottle of wine in Russell's hand, pointed at him and laughed: "Isn't this the bottle of wine I gave you last time? Treat me with my wine?"

Roselle laughed, "But it really is the best wine I can offer."

Doloran then turned to the garden and asked, "Who is that person sitting with your daughter?"

"Oh, you mean Klein."

Russell glanced out the window and said, "He's a friend, I guess."

"friend?"

Doloren was surprised and asked, "You still have friends?"

"Oh, Your Majesty, what you said is hurtful. Why can't I have friends? Besides, aren't you also my friend in private?"

The queen smiled faintly and said nothing. ~卡.卡_暁·说¨亡. ￠庚￠辛/醉!剁!

She did admire Russell as a person and his ability to invent and create, and they occasionally communicated privately, but they were not really friends.

After all, she knew very well what kind of person Roselle was.

Taking the wine glass handed over by Roselle, she sniffed the aroma of the wine and said, "I came here today because I want to see you for something."

Roselle immediately pressed his chest and bowed: "Please give your orders, Your Majesty."

"I wish to invite you to join an extraordinary organization."

"ah?"

If this sentence came from anyone else's mouth, Roselle would not be so surprised, but... you are the king of a country, are you sure you are not drunk?

"What...organization?"

"It's called the Dusk Hermit Society. It's a relatively loose extraordinary organization whose members come from various countries on the continent. There are no mandatory requirements and no special restrictions."

Doloren said, "You can simply treat it as an exchange meeting for Beyonders, where you can trade with others, or you can get specific rewards by completing the tasks issued by the organizer."

"But everyone who joins this organization needs to uphold a unified goal..."

Russell's heart began to beat violently. "What goal?"

"Promote the trend of the times and complete the resurrection of a great being."

"…"

Roselle lowered his head, pretending to be thinking while drinking, and then asked in a normal but curious tone: "Your Majesty, are you also a member of this group?"

"I guess so."

"Oh, sorry... I'm a little surprised. I didn't expect that the king of a country would actually join an extraordinary organization."

Roselle thought about it and said hesitantly, "But I want to know... why did you think of inviting me?"

Doloren smiled, "No particular reason."

I wouldn't believe you!

"Think about it carefully first, and then tell me when you have made up your mind."

"As you command, Your Majesty."

Oh shit,

I had just learned from Zaratul about the existence of this organization whose goal is to resurrect the Creator, and right after that the king invited me. Isn't this just a coincidence?

But why does this kind of coincidence make me feel a chill down my spine?

...

At the reception,

Edward really couldn't stand Bernadette's "tantrum" and almost couldn't help but "retaliate" and started throwing a tantrum as well. Fortunately, he held back in time at the last moment and then suddenly had an idea and used the [Urine Escape] skill.

After staying in the bathroom for about ten minutes, he came out and saw the girl sitting not far away waiting for him.

As soon as she saw Edward come out, she immediately walked up quickly.

At this moment, Edward suddenly heard a faint and noisy prayer sound in his ears. He paused and immediately turned to the bathroom: "Oh, my stomach hurts again."

"Ahhhh!"

Bernadette stamped her feet in anger. Mr. Sparrow was so abominable!

"If you want to blame someone, go blame your father, Russell."

Sitting on the bronze chair in Sefirah Castle, Edward looked at the star that symbolized Roselle and thought so. He then stretched out his hand, spreading his spirituality and making the image of Roselle appear in the depths of the gray fog.

Russell was sitting on the toilet, clasping his hands together and praying, "Mr. President, I have something to report to you."

Tsk tsk, the Lord of Sefirah Castle is indeed the God of the Bathroom. Anyone who has anything to do with Sefirah Castle will eventually have an inextricable bond with the bathroom.

Edward secretly complained and injected his spirituality into establishing a connection with Roselle, allowing his blurry figure to appear inside the Source Castle.

Perhaps because he hadn't been here for a while, Russell was obviously a little nervous, but he adjusted himself as quickly as possible and bowed to Edward and said hello: "Good evening, sorry to bother you, Mr. President."

"Good evening, Mr. Not Living Well."

Uh, didn't live up to your promise?

Oh yeah, that's my code name here.

Roselle was in a trance for a moment, and just as he was about to speak, he suddenly felt another pair of sinister gazes directed at him. He looked up and found that there was a tree behind the president with a birdcage hanging on the tree.

The source of that gaze came from the black crow in the birdcage. Strangely, the crow was wearing a delicate and small monocle on its right eye.

Edward smiled at this time, "This is my new pet, a starling that can imitate human speech. Don't worry about it."

"Myna, this isn't..."

Russell subconsciously wanted to refute, but then he remembered where he was, hurriedly braked, and said casually: "Okay, good evening...Mr. Starling."

Amon glanced at Edward dimly, then looked at Russell and said, "Good evening, sir."

Is it really a mynah bird?

No! This crow is not simple at first glance! Is it some extraordinary creature?

"Go ahead."

Edward leaned back. "What do you want to tell me?"

"That's right, Mr. President..."

Although Roselle still has a certain degree of vigilance against this "evil god", He has at least been very trustworthy in fulfilling his "wishes" many times. He also organized the "misery competition" purely for some kind of bad taste. So after thinking it over, Roselle decided to tell Him about the "coincidence" he encountered. Maybe he would get some unexpected gains.

"I...was returning from the Misty Sea about three weeks ago. When I landed on a primitive island to replenish supplies, I found a unique church on the island. Inside the church was a priest wearing a simple white robe and a full golden beard."

"He told me..."

Just as he was about to continue, Amon laughed: "Oh? To be able to make a paranoid person approach you, your 'believer' seems to be no simple person."

Chapter 601: Opportunity to Hunt Zaratul

Russell was stunned when he heard this, and looked at the crow in surprise: It...means that it knows the priest? With just two simple sentences of description, it determined who the other party was?

Edward tapped lightly on the table, blocking Amon's voice and hearing: "Ignore it and continue. ￠q\i!u*sh￠u?b·a′n￠g,.￠c_o¨m`"

"OK..."

Roselle recounted exactly what happened when he met the priest that day, "When we looked back, the priest and the church had disappeared. Not long after we left the island in a hurry, even the island disappeared." - Of course, he omitted the words of the priest saying that he "was not from this world".

Edward listened and said calmly: "Since you didn't tell me then, but chose to tell me now, did you encounter something else just now?"

"Yes."

Without much hesitation, Roselle sold out the old fox Zaratul. After all, he approached him with a purpose and was definitely not a good person.

"Tonight, I met a friend at the cocktail party I hosted... or to be more precise, a partner. His name is Zaratul, and he is the leader of a Beyonder organization called the Secret Order. He is also a High-Sequence Expert who has lived for a long time and knows a lot of unknown information about the Beyonder World. So I wanted to ask him if he knows anything about the 'Creator'."

Did Zaratul show up at the reception tonight?

Edward raised his eyebrows, and then sighed: After the mysterious world reaches a high sequence, it will indeed become very powerful, but in some aspects it is still far behind the novels of immortal cultivation. At least there is no so-called "spiritual consciousness" that can know clearly if a fly flies in within a certain radius.

Oh, actually, my own [False Reality] can achieve a similar effect to some extent, but it cannot be accurately identified.

At this moment, Zaratul is most likely still in Trier, but how can I find Him and complete the hunt?

At present, besides Edward himself, there are also Arianna at Sequence 2, and Crismaena at Sequence 2. Pallez, who seems to be at Sequence 1 but can only exert the strength of a demigod, may be able to bring in the little snake to help?

If we can catch him by surprise, we still have a chance to take down Zaratul.

But the problem is, the most difficult thing for the high-sequence members of the Gou San family is how to find and catch them, not to mention that Zaratul was frightened once by himself pretending to be Amon, so he must be more cautious and will slip away at the slightest sign of trouble.

What if you use Sefirah Castle to fish?

Now that he thought about it, he felt that the chances were not great. After all, he was still only a Sequence 2. The most important thing was to be promoted to a Sequence 1 Mystic Servant. Therefore, at this stage, the appeal of Sefirah Castle to him was actually limited.

Huh?

According to another way of thinking, the temptation of being promoted to Sequence 1 is the greatest for Zaratul, right?

Hmm, I seem to have a vague idea.

Edward retracted his scattered thoughts and asked:

"Just because you met a mysterious priest at sea who told you a piece of 'myth' whose truth or falsehood you specifically sought out Zaratul to inquire."

Edward smiled and said, "Mr. Not Living Well, are you hiding some news from me?"

"…"

Roselle was silent for a moment, thinking that the president most likely knew that he was a time traveler, so he decided to go for broke and said, "...that priest, He said right away that I was not from this world."

"Oh, so you want to learn more about Him, and then find a way to ask those questions that have always been craving in your heart, right?"

"yes."

Edward held his chin in his hand and asked curiously, "Why don't you ask me directly? I told you that as long as you can complete the commission I gave you, I can answer your questions."

Russell remained silent. What could he say? Say that he was on guard against the "President" or that he didn't want to get deeper into trouble?

But in the end, isn't it still asking Him to come?

"Forget it. I don't like to force others."

You weren't the one who forced me and that not-quite-dead gentleman to participate in that damn "misery competition", were you?

Edward said, "You just said you went to see Zaratul, and then what?"

"Oh, then... Zaratul told me that he didn't know much about the Creator, but he knew there was an extraordinary organization whose goal was to 'resurrect the Creator'. However, he was very secretive about it and left in a hurry without saying anything more."

"And then you came to see me?"

"No. +b\q′z~w?w·._n\e·t?"

If it were outside, Russell would have turned into a husky pointing at people emoticon: Hey you, you're the only one who knows how to interrupt, right?

"Then, I met the king of Intis again. He suddenly invited me to join an organization called the Twilight Hermits. The goal of this organization is to 'revive a great being'. I strongly suspect that this organization is the one that Zaratul mentioned."

Edward was surprised: It was the queen who invited Roselle to join the Twilight Hermits? Could she be a member of the Order? But I didn't see this part in the last Legilimency.

Roselle took a deep breath and said, "At that time, I felt that this was all too coincidental. It was so coincidental that I was a little scared. So I... prayed to you."

"Oh, you are afraid now, so you think of me, right?"

Russell remained silent and had no words to say.

Logically speaking, he should seek help from the church, but this involves the fact that he is a time traveler. After thinking about it, he discovered a tragic reality: the only person he can ask for help in this matter is the "evil god" above the gray fog.

Edward said, "I can answer most of your questions, but... have you decided what to exchange with me?"

Russell pondered for a moment and asked carefully, "Um... Mr. President, what do I need you to do this time?"

"It's very simple."

Edward smiled faintly and said, "You just said that Zaratul asked you to go to the church and steal a notebook, which can answer your question?"

Roselle nodded and said, "Yes, that notebook is a sealed object that is said to be very dangerous."

At this point, he couldn't help but be stunned. Why do all these "big shots" he met have the same problem? They all like me to go to the church to steal things and sealed objects, right?

Do you think the Church of Steam and Mechanics is easy to bully and take advantage of, or do you think I, Roselle, have the potential to be a thief?

"My commission this time is... to steal the notebook from the church and give it to Zaratul."

"ha?"

Roselle was confused and had trouble following the president's train of thought.

Why did you let me steal things from the church and give them to Zaratul?

etc,

If I really have the ability to steal it, I will just ask Zaratul directly. Why should I bow to you, an evil god?

"But, I don't think I have this ability. You know I'm only Sequence 6 now. How can I steal a Level 1 Sealed Artifact in a place guarded by high-sequence masters?"

"This is really beyond my ability."

"Don't be quick to refuse."

Edward smiled and said, "How about this, I'll give you an advance of some of the information you want to know."

"The organization you mentioned is called the Twilight Hermits. It is indeed an organization that aims to promote the trend of the times and resurrect the Creator. The priest you met on the island is the leader of this organization, named Adam."

"Adam is the most powerful angel in the audience channel. He has the ability to turn written stories and spoken words into reality. In other words...if you suddenly feel that what you encountered is too coincidental, it may be the result of Adam's arrangement."

Russell's pupils shrank when he heard this. How could he have such an ability... This is too buggy, right? !

"But, but why would such a being target a small character like me?"

Edward rolled his eyes secretly: Oh, you don't say you are the protagonist now, right?

"Is it... because I... I am not from this world?"

"Yes, but not completely."

Edward transformed himself into the Riddler he hated the most: "However, the rest is paid content. I will tell you after you complete the task I gave you. Oh, if I am lucky by then, I might also tell you how to change your future tragedy."

Russell's pupils shrank.

"So, are you more motivated to steal the notebook now?"

Roselle was silent for a long time: "You asked me to steal the notebook and give it to Zaratul. Are you planning to do something to Him?"

"That's right."

"But, based on my understanding of Zaratul and His powerful divination ability, even if I really got the notebook and gave it to Him, He would definitely find the problem in it, right?"

Edward hummed, "You are right. Zaratul must be more cautious than you think. But you can't imagine how tempting it is for Zaratul to be promoted to Sequence 1."

Roselle was amazed in his heart: "That Sealed Artifact can actually help Zaratul advance to Sequence 1?! No wonder He found me when I was just a weakling and provided me with so many conveniences over the years. He must have used his divination ability to predict that I would be able to help Him get the notebook in the future."

Grass!

If I had known earlier, I would have chosen the fortune teller. It's so damn useful.

This president is most likely the god of the fortune-telling path. His so-called ability to see through the future is actually the use of divination, right?

So, Bernadette will really follow me in the future...

"What's more, during the whole process of you stealing the notebook for Zaratul..."

Edward shook his head and said, "I won't do anything, and He won't be in any danger."

"ah?"

"Just think about it. It would be so interesting if Zaratul found out that he had prepared so hard, but in the end, he was just fighting wits with the air."

Russell: No, then what do you want to achieve by doing all this? Are you really a god of fun?

Of course not.

Using the Notebooks of Antigonus to hook Zarathu is actually just the beginning.

Edward's real plan was to have Zaratul follow the notes to the main peak of Honachis to look for an opportunity to advance to Sequence 1, and then be sent to the misty town by the Goddess of Night.

And once we get there, it will be the best chance to hunt Zaratul!

Chapter 602 Klein has been practicing for two and a half years

Of course, there are two problems with doing this: First, it is uncertain when Zaratul will go to the main peak of Honachis after getting the notes.

Second, given the goddess' current condition, will she still send Zaratul to the Misty Town?

The first question is that in the original book anyway, Zaratul went there not long after he got the notes.

Question two, if the goddess is still planning to train a lord of mysteries for the future, even if she is "dying", she must find a way to "sit up in shock".

It was the Goddess of Night who destroyed the Kingdom of Night and sealed and imprisoned Antigonus. However, the Antigonus family's notes ended up in the hands of the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery. It seemed like the Goddess of Night had planned this in advance, just to wait for a "destined person" - of course, these were just speculations, and he would still have to inform the Goddess in advance.

In addition, according to the speculation of the original work, the reason why Zaratul went to Antigonus was to get the extraordinary characteristic of the mysterious waiter that An Banyu had taken from old Zaratul. In this case, Edward could even intercept it directly in the misty town, without the trouble of hunting Zaratul, and still get the extraordinary characteristic he wanted.
