Part 5 The Red Priests Chapter 118 Drawing Closer Ties

　　Cultists who believe in the Dark Night …… Hearing Snoman’s words, the three present were more or less embarrassed.

　　Klein, Audrey, Leonard, one counts as one, all have some relationship with the Goddess of Darkness, one is a standard cultist who believes in Darkness, one is not only a cultist, but also a quasi-higher level of the cult organization, an elite squad leader, and one is even more powerful, directly being a dependant of the Evil God.

　　”Cough …… so it seems that the period in which the Church of Darkness appeared is even earlier than recorded in history, and can be traced back to long before the Cataclysm, only that it existed in the form of a hidden organization at that time.” Klein cleared his throat and briefly analyzed it to break the suddenly somewhat silent atmosphere.

　　Audrey pursed her lips and nodded her head, continuing to channel Snoman’s dreams to get him to reveal information related to the King of Angels that existed in his subconscious.

　　Unfortunately, Snowman was only a Sequence 5 ascetic, which was considered a quasi-high level in the Fifth Era, and had access to quite a few big names and hidden secrets of history, but he did not have such a status before the Cataclysm, and could not even enter the Kingdom of the Earthly Gods, so naturally he did not know much about the King of Angels and the Ancient Sun God, and what he knew was limited to what was recorded in the various religious canonical texts.

　　However, Klein keenly noticed that the other party mentioned one point:

　　There are traces of the giant remnants in the northern backbone mountain range.

　　This mountain range is now called the Antares, located in the territory of Forsak, so Klein easily connected this news with the people of Forsak claiming to be descended from giants, and the “God of War” is a giant in his own body.

　　Seeing that there was no more King of Angels to relate, Audrey turned to Snorman’s dreams to show him the things that mattered most to him, the things that affected him the most.

　　The majestic church they were based on then appeared to shake and silently made a change.

　　It was the work of a few seconds, and the church had shrunk in size, with a refurbished square outside.

　　Snorman knelt before the cross and the idol, sprinkled with pure sunlight.

　　A vague figure in simple clerical robes appeared at his side, his voice grand and solemn:

　　”You have voluntarily chosen the path of asceticism, renouncing love, staying away from enjoyment, holding no power, polishing your body, refining your spirit, and walking step by step into the kingdom of heaven and near to our Lord.”

　　Snowman kissed the ground reverently and followed:

　　”I voluntarily choose the path of asceticism, give up love, stay away from enjoyment, hold no power, polish my body, refine my spirit, serve my Lord, and from this day forward, never change.

　　”From this day forward, never change!”

　　The more Snowman spoke, the more determined he became, and by the end, was already repeating the promise with a solemn expression.

　　”…… That’s the one thing that he remembers the most, the one thing that affected him the most.” Audrey turned her head sideways and said to the “world” and “stars”.

　　Thinking back on how Snowman had been behaving, thinking back on his behavior of not giving up his faith and discontinuing his asceticism even when he was trapped in this book world, Klein nodded gently and sighed:

　　”He is a true ascetic.”

　　Audrey retracted her gaze, and after guiding Snowman to say or present some of the more important things for him, she walked back to the two men of the “world” and the “stars”, and said in a still soft voice:

　　”There should be nothing more.”

　　Klein said with a glance at Snowman:

　　”Go to the next place.”

　　……

　　Pesot City, inside a certain house.

　　Flaxen-haired, dark brown-eyed, with a high nose and thin lips, Mobet was wearing a slightly plush-feeling nightgown over a half-high, half-low bed, looking at the ceiling with his eyes wide open, and muttering:

　　”This year’s winter is a lot colder than before, and it’s starting to snow ……

　　”It’s almost noon, but I don’t want to get up at all ……

　　”Shattas, why do you, an elf, still stay in bed and press your hands and feet against me ……

　　”I really miss the life when I was single, I could roll freely on the bed, every corner was mine, unlike now, ah ……”

　　On that bed, the “Elf Singer” Shatas was sleeping on her side, very comfortably, not only occupying nearly half of the position, but also leaving a large amount of blank space on her side, overall closer to Mobet, with one hand and one foot on each other, squeezing Mobet so much that she shrunk down to the edge of the bed, and was about to fall off.

　　After pulling the covers up from where they were pressed, Mobet sighed and closed his eyes, ready to sleep again.

　　Then he did fall asleep.

　　In his dream, he was sitting at the tavern bar, sometimes sipping spirits, sometimes pouring ale, saying that he wouldn’t go home, waiting for Shattas to come and beg bitterly.

　　”This is that nobleman from the Fourth Age?” At the entrance of the tavern, Leonard “Star” glanced at Klein and said.

　　Klein gave a definite answer:

　　”Yes.”

　　Well, Mr. “Star”‘s tone and actions showed that he was a bit more nervous than before …… He seemed to be very concerned about this nobleman of the Quaternary Age …… According to “According to the information revealed by Mr. World, Mr. Star might have seen the second Blasphemy Tablet, which is a very ancient artifact! …… Although we can’t rule out the possibility of having seen it in the Fifth Age, in comparison, the strongest people in the Fourth Age have more chances to touch it. …… Therefore, this nobleman in the Fourth Age has a certain relationship with the one that Mr. Star knows? So, this nobleman of the Fourth Age is related to the one Mr. “Star” knows? “Justice” Audrey through careful observation and interpretation of the initial grasp of some things.

　　With this premise, she quickly made a judgment:

　　Mr. “Star” would take the initiative to propose that he guide the dream this time.

　　”As expected, the Fourth Age honors asymmetrical beauty, and this dress really makes me uncomfortable all over.” Leonard flirted before looking at Ms. “Justice” and “World” Klein Moretti, “I’ll do it this time.”

　　”Okay.” Audrey responded with a slight smile and a brisk tone.

　　And that in itself was a development that Klein was happy to see, so naturally he wouldn’t stop it:

　　”No problem.”

　　Leonard then tugged at the collar of his shirt and took a few steps over to the bar position, sitting down next to Mobet and ordering a glass of locally produced Sangan beer.

　　After he gulped it down, he suddenly said:

　　”You look like a member of House Zoroaster.”

　　”Everyone here knows that, no, not just people.” Mobet said as he took a sip of his wine, still looking ahead.

　　Leonard smiled and shook his head:

　　”To introduce myself, I’m a student of Palles Zoroaster.”

　　He intended to use this identity to draw a closer relationship, lowering his rejection and facilitating subsequent guidance.

　　As expected, the one Mr. Star knew was also a noble of the Fourth Age, a member of the Zoroaster family …… I don’t know at what level …… it turned out to be. Mr. “Star” secretly identity is a certain big person’s student, ah, no, he said this sentence is not confident enough …… self-proclaimed students? Audrey confirmed her own guess, the smile became more and more obvious.

　　After listening to Leonard’s self-introduction, Mo Bette finally turned his head sideways, looked the other party up and down for a few eyes, “heh” said:

　　”Student?

　　”A subject of parasitization, right?”

　　”…… “Leonard’s expression instantly froze.

　　The object of being parasitized …… Well …… Audrey, although she had already had some mental preparation, she still couldn’t help but move her eyebrows.

　　As for Klein, it was hard to hold back the laughter.

　　Of course, he did not think that there was anything wrong with the identity of Leonard Fake Topales Zoroaster student, in his place he would have said the same thing, it can not be directly said I am a parasitized person, and the relationship of friends and so on seems to be too distant, not conducive to the subsequent in-depth inquiry.

　　The problem this time was that no one expected Mobet to guess the truth straight away.

　　Laughing twice, Mobet looked at Leonard’s slightly stiff face and said:

　　”You’re not a member of our Zoroaster family, so how could you be the old man’s student? It’s only possible that you’re the object of parasitization!”

　　Saying this, he slowed down his speech a bit:

　　”Don’t worry, the old man isn’t too bad, he won’t really take over your body, after the ‘parasitization’ is over, at most, he’ll take away a few years of your life, anyway, you’re still young, you’ll be able to make up for it if you improve by a single sequence, hehe, in fact, most of the Extraordinary People don’t live to the end of their natural age. ”

　　”Why must a few years of life be taken away?” Leonard asked subconsciously.

　　Mobet lifted his glass and took a gulp, answering with a slightly confused voice:

　　”It’s all been ‘parasitized’, so I have to steal something ……”

　　”……” Leonard asked back, slightly stunned, “You call old man K too?”

　　”Of course, we all call him old man, huh, k has not expressed any objection.” Mobet suddenly sighed and said, “k is my great-grandfather, I haven’t seen k for a long time, a thousand years, no, two thousand years I think ……”

　　It turned out that the old man indulged me in calling the old man, because it can make k recall some good things in the past …… His direct descendants do not know whether there are still alive …… Leonard suddenly sighed.

　　And “justice” Audrey, while laughing at the phrase “have to steal something”, was quite surprised to grasp the word “k”.

　　It meant that old Mr. Palles Zoroaster was an angel!

　　Sure enough …… Audrey had expected this.

　　At this time, Mobet also sharply tasted a key word:

　　”Also? Why do you say ‘also’? Could it be that you’re also called Old Man K?”

　　Leonard nodded his head seriously.

　　Mobet was instantly a bit confused, and looked at Leonard a few more times carefully:

　　”Could it be that you have the bloodline of our Zoroaster family?”

　　”I don’t know ……,” Leonard answered truthfully.

　　Mobet shook his head:

　　”Not like that, not like that, maybe the old man suffered some major blow that changed him in some way.”

　　This I know …… Leonard said with deliberation:

　　”k was almost killed by ‘Blasphemer’ Amon and still hasn’t recovered.”

　　– “Grocer’s Travels” is currently placed on top of the Gray Mist, it doesn’t matter which deity’s real name is mentioned in it, it won’t be perceived anyway, so Klein, Leonard, Audrey, and the rest of them can speak freely about Amon Adam.

　　”That powerful and terrifying ancestor of the Amon family really exists ah ……,” Mobet’s voice unconsciously lowered.

　　Leonard finally seized the initiative and began to ask questions:

　　”The great nobles of the Solomon Empire all seem to be cold and evil, why isn’t the Zoroaster family like that?”
