Volume 7 The Inverted Man Chapter 8 Joint Operations
The Pope …… Danez was so shocked that he could hardly believe what he was hearing from the oracle.
If the command hadn’t come directly from Mr. Fool, he would have cursed.
Of course, he would have been able to hold his tongue if it had been Germaine Sparrow on the other side.
”Lord God-Emperor, what else is wrong?” The Head of Intelligence of the Church of God of the Sea outside the door was a little scared for a moment when he saw that His Excellency Saint Daniz’s expression had become rather odd.
Daniz retrieved his thoughts and squeezed out some smiles and said:
”Pay close attention to the movements over at the Church of the Sea Waves.”
”Yes, Lord God-Emperor.” That intelligence chief secretly breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly saluted to take his leave.
Daniz turned back to Alger Wilson and said with a wide smile:
”Mr. ‘Fool’ has sent down an oracle.”
Not slowing down at all, Alger rose at once and pressed his right palm to his left breast.
Daniz straightened his back and spoke solemnly:
”God says that Alger will wear a mask and serve as the Pope of the Church of Neptune from today.”
”Mr. ‘Fool”s will is my will!” Alger could hardly hide a smile as he bent down and saluted.
Half of his smile was shown to Danez, displaying his own humility, and half of it was indeed from the bottom of his heart, because this oracle meant two things:
Mr. “Fool” and the “Storm Lord” had reached a certain agreement, there was a tacit understanding that his defection would not be pursued, but of course, he had to wear a mask and use an alias, so as not to bring shame to the Storm Church;
Becoming the Pope of the Church of Poseidon is a key step on the way to the throne of Poseidon.
In Alger’s view, this means that he has officially become a subordinate of Mr. Fool, and in the future, whether it is to change the identity of the “God of the Sea”, or to further serve as the leader of the Church of Fools, it is not a small amount of money. Mr. Fool is a great being who is gradually recovering, and is on the same level as a true god, or even a little bit higher, so how could k’s surrogate not be an angel?
After saluting, Alger waited patiently for a while until the divine messenger Daniz brought a silver and black mask.
He took this mask and solemnly put it on his face.
……
Wearing his red gloves, Leonard strolled along the shores of the Intersea, enjoying the respite he had just gotten from dealing with a transcendent case.
As for the strange holes in the doors and windows last night, he had received an order from the Holy Church telling him not to investigate and not to look deeper.
Leonard wanted to comply with this order but could do nothing about it, because he had already known the general truth from old man Palles Zoroaster:
”Mr. Door returned to the real world, and “Time Angel” Amon took the opportunity to steal k’s rite of passage and was promoted to Sequence 0, “Error”. At the same time, Mr. Fool is revived, and through the Source Castle, he meets with the Diviner, the Apprentice, and the Stealer. Mr. Fool, through the “Source Castle”, established a weak and fleeting connection with the extraordinary people of the “Soothsayer”, “Apprentice”, and “Stealer” paths.
–As an angel of the “Stealer” path, Palles Zoroaster undoubtedly sensed the transformation of Amon into a god, experienced the corresponding change in authority, and realized that the “Source Castle” had established some kind of connection with himself. established some kind of connection.
”Old man, Amon has already been promoted to Sequence 0, and the current you should be of little use to him, so why do you still want to ‘parasitize’ in my body?” After Leonard took a breath of fresh morning air, he pressed his voice and asked with half doubt and half concern.
Inside his head, Palles Zoroaster let out a “heh”:
”Naive.”
”Is it because you feel that you have become a Saint and have mastered so much occult knowledge that you no longer need my teachings?”
”You can choose to teach me face to face.” Leonard weighed his tone and said.
As far as he was concerned, there were both advantages and disadvantages to having an angel “hosted” in his body.
The good thing was that even if he encountered a real mythological creature, it wasn’t like he didn’t have the strength to fight against it, as long as he shouted “old man”, the problem might be solved, and in addition, the history of the Fourth Age and all kinds of uncommon occult knowledge were also quite useful.
The most obvious disadvantage is that the life manipulation is in the hands of the “parasites”, if the other party has bad intentions, he can not stop it at all.
This problem used to be Leonard’s biggest worry, but now it is not important, because Mr. “Fool” is recovering to a higher and higher degree, and can completely suppress Palles Zoroaster, and Leonard has become a senior deacon of the Church of Darkness, and will inevitably be watched by the “Goddess of Darkness”, and even the “Goddess of Darkness”, which is the most important thing. Leonard has also become a senior deacon of the Church of Darkness, and is bound to be watched by the “Goddess of Darkness”, and even be specially marked. In this case, it is impossible that the deity in charge of the secrets could not find out about Pallas Zoroaster, and if the old man did not have any good intentions, he would have already been taken care of.
Leonard is currently most troubled by the fact that many things are therefore not too convenient.
Although he had gotten used to going in and out of the washroom with an old man “hosted” in his body, and even chatting with him while squatting on the toilet, he still preferred to be alone in similar situations.
Therefore, he felt that the old man left his own body, like elders living in their own homes, is a better way to get along, and when you need to deal with more dangerous things, and then let the old man temporarily “parasitic” back.
Hearing Leonard’s suggestion, Palles Zoroaster snorted:
”Are you still thinking of lifting the ‘parasitization’ when you get home and ‘parasitizing’ again when you need to go out?”
”Think I’m your bodyguard?”
Leonard laughed dryly and turned to say:
”If you haven’t completely recovered and want to continue ‘parasitizing’, I have no problem with that.”
Palles Zoroaster was silent for two seconds, allowing the slightly aged voice to echo in Leonard’s mind once again:
”The next is the most dangerous period of time, for the position of the ‘Lord of Secrecy’, there will definitely be a battle between the ‘Fool’ and Amon, and at that time, under the influence of the various laws of extraordinary characteristics, we angels in the same pathway may perhaps will be affected, heh, it’s better to shelter in the sight of the darkness to be safe.”
”When the ‘Lord of Secrecy’ is born, you will beg me to ‘parasitize’ you, but I won’t even look at it!”
Leonard, slightly stunned at what he heard, subconsciously repeated a name:
”The Secretive Lord?”
”It’s not something you can delve into, but of course, with me around, there’s not much to worry about.” Palles Zoroaster said with another sigh and pride.
Leonard was about to take the opportunity to ask, when he suddenly saw a member of the Red Gloves running over with a telegram.
”Your Excellency, a telegram from the Holy Church.” The team member respectfully saluted.
Leonard nodded gently, took the telegram, and quickly skimmed through it:
”Travel to the Southern Continent and participate in the siege of the Rose School.”
South continent …… Rose School …… Leonard extracted the two most crucial words.
He quickly returned to the largest church in the city and used a large ritual magic to establish a connection with the Holy Church, meeting the Pope and Lady Arianna and other high dignitaries in a dream.
After a brief exchange, Leonard roughly figured out the essence of the mission:
Each of the major Orthodox God Churches had deployed three to four demigods to the Southern Continent to besiege the Rose School, which had been very active since the Total War.
This was a long-term mission, because the demigods of the Rose School knew how to cover their tracks and did things quite stealthily, not so easy to find, not so easy to target, and not so easy to deal with.
According to the Pope, it would be good to see enough results in three years.
During this process, the Holy Church would rotate the demigods as appropriate, ensuring that the archbishops and senior deacons in charge of this matter were in a relatively stable mental state.
After breaking away from the dream world, Leonard looked around and pressed his voice:
”Old man, things are a bit strange, why are the major churches suddenly surrounding the Rose School?”
This wasn’t an easy thing to do, it wasn’t like the Orthodox Churches hadn’t made similar attempts in the past few hundred years, but they could only suppress and weaken, unable to truly eradicate the Rose School.
This is partly due to the suspicion and lack of cooperation between the allies, and partly due to the fact that the demigods of the Rose School, while indulging in their lusts and having an abnormal mental state, know how to avoid, hide, and conceal themselves in the face of danger, and won’t take the initiative to send themselves to their deaths.
In addition, they have the blessing of the “God of Bondage” and the “Mother Tree of Desire”, so it is difficult for the gods to provide precise guidance for their actions.
Palles Zoroaster didn’t answer Leonard’s question immediately, and sighed after ten seconds or so, saying in a slightly aged voice:
”It’s removing hidden dangers and preparing for the end.”
Preparing for the End …… Leonard opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but eventually fell silent.
……
Birkeland, Harvest Church.
Emlyn White had just entered the hall, and before he had a chance to head to his room and change his clothes, he saw Father Utrafsky standing up in the front row, as if he were a mountain rising out of the ground.
”The Mother Goddess has asked us to travel to the southern continent and bury the evil ones.” This Divine Favorite spoke in a low voice.
His voice echoed within the hall like a slowly swirling muffled thunderclap, startling the praying blood believers into opening their eyes.
It turns out that last night s dream was real …… Emlyn heard a flash of realization.
Last night, he dreamed of his ancestor, dreaming that he and Father Utrafsky, in conjunction with the Rosicrucian temperance department, went to the southern continent to deal with the part of the Rosicrucians who believed in the “primordial moon”.
Of course, if there was a chance, the enemies of the “Mother Tree of Desire” should not be spared.
Because there were often false divine revelations, Emlyn did not take this dream to heart, and was ready to change his clothes, finish his prayers, and then seek confirmation from Father Utravski.
He responded to Father Utrafsky with a “hmmm,” actually rather stoically:
”There is no need to rush.”
”I’ll contact the members of the Rosicrucian temperance faculty first.”
Father Utrafsky nodded without a care in the world:
”And then select some voluntary Bloods.”
……
In the Republic of Intis, in the capital city of Trier, a director of an intelligence agency was arranging tasks for his subordinates.
Suddenly, his eyes blurred, and a voice that seemed to come from a distant place rang in his ears:
”Orville …… Dylan …… Orville …… Dylan …… “
