Alfred was stunned by the look of the father and daughter, and asked, "Dad, Audrey, what are you doing..."
Audrey said, "I'm discussing a business deal with Dad, a big deal!"
Alfred: "???"
If this sentence was said by his brother Hibbert, he would not be surprised at all, but Audrey?
Talk about business?
You should just have a relationship. +5¢4¢Reading¨books, *Crown~waste!Leap_blasphemy?
Earl Hall had a complicated expression. After thinking for about a minute, he spoke again to confirm: "Audrey, is everything you said true?"
Audrey nodded seriously, "Of course!"
I'm sorry, Dad. Although what you said about the Southern Continent is all nonsense, next time when I return to Hogwarts with Edward, I will definitely find a way to buy back the supplies for you at double the price in that world - the price of food there is much cheaper!
Alfred on the side asked again: "Dad, what are you talking about?"
"Audrey just told me..."
Earl Hall lit a cigar, briefly repeated what Audrey had just said, then looked at his shocked second son and asked calmly, "Alfred, do you think I should do this business with Audrey?"
After a moment of silence, Alfred glanced at his sister and said, "Why not? Emperor Roselle said that when profits reach 50%, some people dare to take risks; when profits reach 100%, they dare to trample on all laws of the world; and when profits reach 300%, they are not even afraid of being hanged."
"Now it's a five-fold return!"
Count Hall exhaled a puff of green smoke, looked at Audrey and said slowly, "Okay. Then the future of the Hall family is in your hands, baby."
"Ah? That's not the case..."
Audrey was about to answer subconsciously, but immediately changed her tone: "Okay!"
After watching his daughter leave with his "granddaughter" and golden retriever Susie, Earl Hall put out the cigar he had just smoked in the ashtray, pinched the spot between his eyes with his fingers, and frowned in thought.
Alfred asked, "Dad, do you really believe..."
"I don't know either."
Earl Hall sighed, "But I know that Audrey even said this, which shows that she has made up her mind. From childhood to adulthood, as long as she wants to do something, she will definitely find a way to complete it..."
"So, let's do this for now. Zero o'clock? Book - I'm wrong + content"
At this point he asked, "By the way, why did you come back so suddenly?"
Alfred's face straightened, "Dad, I just received intelligence that Feynaport has also declared war on Loen."
...
As soon as she returned to the room, Audrey seemed to have lost all her strength and lay on the sofa. Her face turned red and she patted her chest repeatedly: "Huh, you don't know, I was so nervous just now."
Susie sat in front of her and asked in confusion, "But you are clearly very proud now."
Audrey sat up quickly, her cheeks redder: "No, no."
Lilith leaned over to the side, looked Audrey up and down and said with a smile, "Audrey, when did you stop bragging and lying without thinking? Miss Lilith was stunned just now."
"I, I just told a white lie."
Audrey sighed, "Actually, I'm also quite confused now. I originally just wanted to help Mr. Moon, but my father said that Backlund and even the entire Loen might soon be in a shortage of supplies. I suddenly don't know what to do. Should I help Mr. Moon or those poor people in Backlund?"
"No matter what, I am from Loen. Shouldn't I consider the people of Loen first?"
Chapter 667 Lilith and Ouroboros
Lilith patted the back of her hand and comforted her, "Audrey, it's good that you have this intention. After all, what you do and what you think are actually contrary to your class."
"You have to remember that changing the world is not something that can be achieved with the efforts of one or two people. Even if your father is one of the richest men in Loen, even if he takes out all the money of the Hall family, perhaps even the people of Backlund alone can't help for long."
Audrey was a little distressed, "What should I do?"
Susie then said, "Audrey, do you remember the question you asked me before? The one about the Dog King?"
"Oh, I remember. What is the meaning of this book? "
After learning the true face and conspiracy of George III, Audrey casually asked Susie what she would do if there was such a dog kingdom.
She said: "I think the first step is to overthrow the rule of the Dog King!"
"Then what?"
Lilith secretly gave Susie a thumbs up and continued, "Then it's time for reform! If the underlying logic of this world doesn't change, nothing you do will work!"
Audrey nodded, and suddenly asked in confusion: "Lilith, how come you suddenly understand so much?"
"Why can't Miss Lilith understand so much?" She pinched her waist and snorted, "Have you forgotten that I am the smartest cat in the world... No, the smartest person!"
"Yes, yes! Miss Lilith is the smartest!"
"Hehehe!"
Lilith snorted proudly, took out a few thick books (censored, those were the guiding ideologies) and handed them over, "Okay, I read these from books, Audrey can also take a look if she's interested~"
She unfolded a few books and took a look. She asked, "These are written in English or Chinese. Did Edward give them to you?"
"Yes!"
"Is it because of the guidance of these books that Edward's world is so rich and harmonious?"
"Yes!"
Lilith pointed to the third red-shelled book and said with a twinkling look in her eyes, "Especially the last one, it's the most amazing!"
Audrey held the three books in her arms and said seriously, "Okay, then I will study these books carefully next!"
Susie asked, "Can I watch it too?"
"Of course!"
Lilith squinted her eyes and smiled: Susie, you are a real dreamer!
Audrey is just your drug testing maid.
...
It's late at night.
Lilith passed through layers of mirror worlds and came to the edge of the sea where the gods' war ruins were.
She walked barefoot on the sea as if she were walking on flat ground. Her body gradually grew larger and gradually returned to the appearance of an adult. Then she waved her hand fiercely towards the front, and the sea immediately parted, revealing a road that led directly to the projection of the Giant King's Court and the land abandoned by the gods.
She snapped her fingers, and a mirror appeared out of thin air. Lilith walked into the mirror again, and together with the mirror, she shot towards the projection of the giant court in the distance, after a transformation between illusion and reality.
The mirror shattered with a bang and turned into falling starlight.
Lilith had already taken the opportunity to jump from the projection of the Giant King's Court through the mirror world and into the real Giant King's Court. This was a gray-blue door covered with symmetrical symbols, logos and patterns, and there was a dark hole on the left side of the door.
This is the limit that most people can reach. If you want to go further, you either have to sneak in without telling the real creator like Amon did, or let the real creator open the door for you.
Lilith stretched out her fair hand and pressed it against the gray-blue door. After a moment, she murmured, "It's still closed. Is the True Creator really crazy?"
She thought about it and touched the door with her delicate fingers, causing ripples on the door like the surface of water, and after a few seconds it turned into a silver mirror.
Lilith took a step forward and stepped into the silver mirror. After another period of traveling back and forth, she walked out of the mirror again.
"Tsk, I can't get into the mirror world after all."
She folded her arms, pinched her chin and thought for a while, then suddenly raised her hands and banged on the door: "Open the door, open the door, Ouroboros, do you hear me? Come and help me open the door!!"
"The lingering heroic spirit, the followers of the true Creator, the eyes that stare at fate, Ouroboros, do you hear me?"
"Hey, if you don't come help me, I'm going to force my way in!"
"Ourolus!"
After shouting for a while, Lilith felt a little disappointed: "Did he not hear me, or was he hurt too badly by the True Creator when he went crazy, so he couldn't respond to me?"
As she was muttering, her ears suddenly moved slightly and she turned around - she saw a man with beautiful appearance, soft features, gentle expression with a hint of indifference, tall and thin, silver hair down to his vest, and wearing a simple and plain linen robe standing quietly a few meters away.
"...As expected of a snake, he walks without making any sound."
Ouroboros looked at her in bewilderment: "Are you born in the Year of the Snake?"
"That's not important."
Lilith waved her hand and stepped forward quickly: "I heard that the True Creator went crazy and even hurt you. Are you okay? What happened? Didn't the True Creator merge with Adam? Why did he go crazy again? Is Adam playing some tricks again?"
"…"
Perhaps because he asked too many questions in one breath, Ouroboros opened his mouth and said only one sentence after a long while: "I... am fine."
Lilith stared at Him expectantly with eyes wide open, waiting for Him to continue answering the remaining questions, but in the end, there was only silence.
She held her forehead helplessly:
"Okay, take me in, I'd better go ask Sforti."
Ouroboros nodded slightly, the layers of light wings behind him fluttered gently, he walked forward and pushed open a gap in the gray-blue door, looked back at Lilith, and walked in.
Lilith followed immediately, and as soon as they passed through the gate, they arrived at a beach illuminated by the evening light. The deep blue waves came from afar, hitting the shore full of black gravel and stones, but there was no sound of the tide.
In the distance is a mountain bathed in dim yellow light, on which stand countless palaces, tall towers and layers of majestic city walls.
Lilith sighed, "It was a long, long time ago that Miss Lilith came here last time."
"Orochi, what do you think, should I go directly to the true Creator?"
Ouroboros frowned, thinking.
"Forget it, just pretend I didn't ask."
...
Afternoon town.
As a town where humans and giants live together and has been abandoned for thousands of years, it was originally occupied by various mutated monsters. Normally, if you want to station here, you must first clean it up.
However, the last time Bernadette and Edward came here, they had already cleared out all the monsters occupying this place, so the exploration team of Silver City has been focusing on repairing some houses with less damage in the past few days to form a small habitable area.
Sifuti sat quietly in a room specially prepared for him. He sat cross-legged on the ground with his eyes closed and motionless. He had been sitting here for three or four days.
In another room not far away, after Colin Elijah announced that they would continue to move forward in the afternoon, Derrick couldn't help but ask, "Chief, why do we have to move forward?"
Colin said slowly, "We have finally arrived here. We are only one step away from reaching the Giant King's Court and the final exit. If we stop here, all our previous efforts will be in vain."
"But that gentleman said that the true creator has gone mad. Going forward... is no different from committing suicide."
"Don't worry, I'm not a fool, and I don't want to die. I just plan to look forward as much as possible. I can't stand still when I see hope right in front of me."
"Derrick."
Colin looked at him seriously and said, "Whether I can come back or not, the future of Silver City is in your hands."
Derrick panicked and said anxiously, "How could I...how could I have such ability?"
"Just because there is nothing now doesn't mean there won't be anything in the future."
A slight smile appeared on his usually serious face, "You did a good job."
Derrick was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized something: The Chief must have known that I had betrayed the Creator and chose to believe in another god.
Ta-da, ta-da, ta-da.
Just as Derrick was daydreaming, footsteps suddenly sounded, accompanied by a strange voice:
"This afternoon's town seems no different than the last time I came here."
"Oh, it suddenly occurred to me...it doesn't seem to have been that long since I last came here."
"That's right."
Swish!
In an instant, everyone in the room had drawn their weapons and were ready to fight the enemy, ready to launch an attack with just one command from the chief.
Colin shook his head, signaling everyone not to be nervous, and then walked to the door and pushed open the decayed stone door. A man and a woman walked in. The girl was looking around curiously, and the man had an indifferent expression.
The people hiding in the surrounding buildings were all very surprised: Of course they could tell that this man and woman were not from the City of Silver, but where did they come from? Were they really human? Or were they an illusion created by the monster using some kind of ability?
"I'm here to see Sifuti."
Lilith spotted Derrick the Little Sun standing in the crowd, but she didn't say hello. She looked around and called out, "Little Sifuti, Little Sifuti, I'm here to see you~"
Everyone in the City of Silver immediately looked at each other, wanting to know who the "Sifti" she was talking about was. Derrick had only revealed Sifti's identity to Chief Colin and Elder Lovia.
Derrick was curious. Could it be that these two people were from the Giant King's Court like Lord Sforti? If so, could he directly ask them about the situation of the Giant King's Court and convince the Chief not to continue to take risks?
"Lord Sforti is over there..."
He didn't care about anything else and pointed to Sforti's house, but found that He had been standing at the door without knowing when, looking straight at the two people.
A few seconds later, He saluted Ouroboros and said, "Your Excellency, Angel of Destiny."
Lilith walked up and said with a smile: "How come you have become a child too? You don't seem like someone who likes to act young."
After a moment of silence, Sifuti hid the emotions in his eyes and said calmly in the same tone as usual: "After being promoted to the Three-Headed Holy Temple, whether I am young, young or old, I am still myself, just in different forms, there is no difference."
"Hard-mouthed."
Lilith shook her head. "It's obvious that you are injured and can only maintain your juvenile form."
She then looked at Colin and the others and said, "Don't worry, everyone. We are just here to ask Little Sifuti a few questions. Don't pay too much attention to us."
Colin's eyes stayed on the two of them for a moment, and he said, "Okay, you can do whatever you want."
After saying that, he turned around and went back into the house. Luo Weiya looked at him with a serious expression and whispered, "Those two people are very dangerous."
Colin said "hmm" and sat down without saying much - for many years, Silver City had not seen a single outsider, but now we see them one after another. Does this mean that we are really not far from leaving here?
Chapter 668 The True Creator Leaves the God-Forsaken Land
On the other side, Lilith Ourogo and Sforti walked towards the outside of the Silver City camp together.
Lilith asked straight to the point: "What happened to the True Creator? Although He was crazy before, He wouldn't be crazy enough to attack you and Ouroboros, the stupid snake." She glanced at Ouroboros, who seemed to be looking into the distance with a blank look in his eyes, "I asked Him just now, but He couldn't explain it clearly!"
Sifuti said slowly: "Lord, it is now completely impossible to communicate."
"But love... I communicated with Him not long ago. At that time, He was relatively normal. It can even be said that He has gotten rid of His former madness."
"I have no idea."
He said, "But before the Lord went crazy, there was a strong and terrible wave in the Giant King's court. Maybe it was related to that. But when I rushed over, the Lord had already become what he is now."
"Then what?"
Sifuti shook his head: "I don't know more. What is the content of the book?"
Lilith held her forehead helplessly: "Ah, no wonder the True Creator is in such a miserable state now. It is really a blessing for Him to have a bunch of talented people like you to assist Him."
"Alright, alright, I'll go to the Giant King's Court by myself, okay? Orochi, do you want to go?"
Ouroboros took a step forward silently.
Lilith set out immediately, but after taking a few steps, she saw Sifuti following her, so she asked, "Why are you following me?"
He looked at Lilith quietly: "I also want to know what happened to the Lord."
Lilith casually patted Him on the shoulder and said, "I'll tell you when I come back. Facing a mad god, I don't have the confidence to protect you."
"I don't need to..."
Before He could finish, Lilith and Ouroboros turned into broken mirrors and disappeared. He wanted to follow them immediately, but found that he could not move at all.
He gritted his teeth, trying to mobilize the spiritual power in his body to break through the confinement, but bright red blood suddenly spurted out of his mouth and nose, and he suddenly felt exhausted.
He was lucky enough to escape from the hands of a mad master. His current condition was indeed very bad.
Silently looking at the shadow of the giant king's court in the distance, he finally gave up trying to break free.
At this moment, Lilith and the other two had arrived at the gate of the Giant King's Court. Looking up, they saw huge gray-white stone stairs, and the whole area was protected by several magnificent walls.
In the middle of the city wall is a double-door gate several dozen meters high, with a gray-blue tone and golden nails inlaid on the surface.
On both sides of the gate, there lay a five or six meter tall, extremely oppressive guard. They were wearing exquisite and sturdy silver full body armor. They were all Sequence 3 Silver Knights, but at this moment, they were deader than dead.
Lilith walked quickly to the gray-blue door.
She stretched out her hand and pressed on the door. With a heavy clicking sound, the door with many golden nails slowly opened, and the scene inside gradually came into view.
A grayish-white staircase with an orange-red glow and countless levels extends from behind the door to the tallest and most magnificent residence of the Giant King. There is nothing blocking the way, and palaces and towers are densely packed on both sides.
At a glance, the ground was littered with all kinds of limbs and fragments, extending all the way to the deepest part - the "soldiers" who were originally used to protect the true creator here had all died long ago.
Lilith kicked the debris on the ground and said, "It seems that He is really crazy."
The two walked along the magnificent palace, and along the way they could see killed puppets or believers of the real creator everywhere.
Until they walked deep enough, the shadows under their feet suddenly came to life, extending rapidly upwards to wrap around the two of them. They did not panic, but let the shadows move.
A few seconds later, they found themselves in a gloomy, dark and deserted palace. In the deepest part of the palace, there stood a very faint shadow. It was a man with shoulder-length black hair that was slightly curled. There was a shadow over his eyes, and layers of black wings hung down from his back, covering most of his body.
"Dark Angel" Sasriel!
The next second, Sasriel opened his eyes. They were a pair of pure black eyes filled with endless madness and despair. As these eyes opened, boundless power filled with the breath of corruption surged towards the two of them.
Lilith immediately dragged Ouroboros back behind a dozen mirrors stacked together to avoid the erosion of the corrupt power.
Bang!
The layers of mirrors were shattered by a single look from Sasriel before they lasted even a second. He slowly raised his left hand and formed a dark scepter. His crazy voice was filled with evil and a strong sense of depravity:
"die!"
In an instant, Ouroboros and Lilith felt their bodies, minds, and spirits suddenly sink, and they had a feeling that they were dying quickly. Their consciousness quickly became blurred, their energy evaporated, and their flesh and blood "withered" inch by inch.
However, an illusory scaleless giant snake with its head and tail connected appeared, and it was as if time was reversed, restoring the withered bodies of the two.
Lilith suddenly stretched out her hand and pushed Ouroboros' back, pushing him into a mirror, "Bless me with good luck."
Ouroboros clasped his hands together, and the glowing wings behind him lit up again.
As soon as Lilith raised her hand, the entire palace was filled with twinkling lights.
Silver mirrors appeared in all directions, turning the palace into a world of mirrors. The layered black wings behind Sasriel fluttered, and the mirrors quickly shattered.
Lilith suddenly walked out from a broken mirror, and gently patted his chest with her small white hand. With a "ding" sound, Sasriel's body fell rapidly downwards, as if falling into a bottomless pit.
Lilith followed closely behind, waving her hands, and black tentacles grew out of the "bottomless pit" and wrapped around Sasriel. Although these tentacles were easily torn apart by him, they grew too fast and temporarily posed a certain obstacle.
Chi!
Finally, Sasriel's defense was broken, and a shallow wound was cut on his arm, and a few tiny drops of inky black blood oozed out.
Lilith reached out and took the blood, twisted her fingers gently, and a flash of realization flashed in her eyes: "So that's how it is."
"roar!!!"
At this moment, Sasriel let out an angry roar, and all the tentacles that were entangled with him turned into powder in an instant. He also flew out of the "bottomless pit" at an extremely fast speed, carrying terrible power straight towards Lilith.
"Wow! It's fatal!"
Lilith immediately turned around and fled. After traveling through the mirrors several times, she reached out and grabbed the mirror where Ouroboros was, then jumped into the other mirror and disappeared.
A few seconds later,
There was a sharp explosion in the palace, and all the silver mirrors were turned into powder in an instant. Sasriel, who had fallen into the depths, returned to the palace, only to find that the two people had disappeared.
Platinum flames suddenly ignited in His pure black eyes. This was because He was extremely angry, but He just kept roaring madly, destroying everything He saw.
Outside the Giant King's court, two people jumped out of a mirror, and then there was a violent earthquake around them.
"Lord, are you not in the Giant King's Court?"
Ouroboros rarely spoke up: "Sasriel...what happened to him?"
Of course, He knew that Sasriel had died long ago, and what remained was just an unconscious evil spirit, but the performance of the "evil spirit" just now was clearly beyond His ability.
Lilith shook her head: "That is not Sasriel. In a sense, He is the true Creator."
"???"
Ouroboros looked puzzled.
"I now understand why the true creator went crazy."
Lilith patiently explained, "You also know that the True Creator is a personality formed by the corruption and dark emotions of the ancient sun god after his death, combined with human nature. But the current Him - let's call him Sasriel for now. He is a consciousness born from the previous evil spirit, combined with the pure madness and negative emotions of the True Creator."
"As for Adam and the rest of the true Creator... they are not in the Giant King's Court, and most likely not in the God-Forsaken Land either."
Ouroboros was startled: "Lord... left the God-forsaken Land?"
