In the early morning, just when Snow had just woken up the sleeping Mr. Fool and was about to go next door to have a hearty breakfast, the doorbell suddenly rang.
Lily seemed to be used to this situation. Without waiting for Snow to give a hint, Lily jumped down from the dining table, walked all the way to the door, and jumped on the door handle lightly.
As the door creaked open, Lily looked at the unknown young man in front of her with a strange expression, as if she was worried about whether she should open the door. But then, Snow's voice came from behind——
"Oh, my dear, my old friend, you look like this, and my cat doesn't even recognize you!"
"I can't help it. An Extraordinary person just died in my family! If I hadn't come to you, I would have been on a passenger ship heading to the Suniya Sea." The young man at the door looked like he was only in his mid-twenties.
Wearing a formal suit that was not expensive, but at least not out of place, his tone of voice had a sense of vicissitudes of life that was inconsistent with his appearance. He seemed to want to hammer Snow on the chest to express friendship, but he hesitated and did not do it.
"Anyway, let's talk after we come in." Seeing his reserved look, Snow picked up Lily who was hanging on the door handle and motioned for the other party to follow him in.
The two of them walked all the way to the living room. Kaspars immediately took out a tin box from his arms, which contained a ball of rotten meat that exuded a putrid smell. If it weren't for the slightest chill on it, it would even make people think that it came from somewhere.
Mud fished out of ditches.
"I don't know if this is what that being wants. Anyway, after that guy died, this is the only thing left, which is a bit weird."
Caspars, who was in his young state, pointed to the contents of the tin box with some uncertainty. Snow glanced at it and nodded:
"Yes, that's it."
As he spoke, he released his spiritual energy, closed the tin box, and then said:
"You don't have to worry too much. The honorable name I gave you points to a relatively benign existence. You don't have to worry about any problems in the short term."
"That may happen in the future..." Caspars thought in his heart, but did not say it out loud. After all, his situation at the time meant that if he didn't do this, he would die. But now, at least he is still alive.
Seeing that Caspars was still silent, Snow did not try to persuade him anymore. Instead, he took out a ring from under the coffee table and placed it on the table. Then he took out a booklet and said:
"What I said is too complicated and you may not be able to understand it in a short time. In short, now you have two choices. First, wear this ring and become my lord's agent. From now on, spread the faith for my lord.
Develop believers; second, work for our Lord as a peripheral member.
In the former, you will be bound to our Lord's church, and you will be both prosperous and deprived. In the latter, you are just a temporary employee, as long as you complete the tasks assigned to you on a regular basis, of course, this will make you lose a lot of benefits."
Having said this, Snow pushed the pamphlet to Kaspars——
"These are the benefits that can be obtained by believing in our Lord. Of course, it also stipulates the corresponding obligations and rules that need to be followed. You can read it first before making a decision."
Although Kaspars adjusted his age to his mid-twenties, his experience did not diminish. Therefore, he did not just make a choice with his mind like an ordinary Storm Lord believer, but picked up the booklet.
, read it carefully.
I have to say that the benefits of this unknown church are really very good. You can exchange magical powers through prayer, you can pray for God's protection in critical moments, and you can also quickly learn knowledge and languages that are difficult to learn.
Looking at the employee benefits, Kaspers felt that the content in this booklet was completely different from what he imagined.
There are no bloody sacrificial rituals, and there is no need to pay a lot of money. Everything goes well and unexpectedly.
"Don't be surprised. I don't mean to lie to you. These are all the rules. Of course, there are risks. For example, if your identity is exposed, you may be hostile or even hunted down by the Zhengshen Church."
Snow looked at Kaspers's changing expression and patiently explained some details. Kaspers hesitated for a moment, and finally reached out and picked up the jewelry box.
Even if he is an outsider, he understands to some extent that after praying to that existence, he has formed a connection with the other person. In this case, choosing to become a peripheral member is just like what Emperor Russell said.
Just like an idiot who covers his ears to steal a bell, in this case, he might as well choose to become a core member and enjoy more benefits.
Kaspars opened the jewelry box and saw the exquisite ring.
This is a ring made of silver-white metal. On the front is a blue square gemstone surrounded by dozens of fine sapphires. It is engraved with complex patterns, but the scratches have not affected it at all.
The luster, on the contrary, makes the brilliance of the gemstone mysterious and restrained. On both sides of it, there is a line of small ancient Hermetic runes. One represents the number "4" and the other means "compassion".
"This is the Ring of Compassion. Using it as a seal can make the document have the effect of a contract. At the same time, there is a substitute inside, named Randekiel. Of course, the most important function of this thing is to serve as a token of the organization." Snow.
After briefly introducing the functions of the ring, Kaspers listened carefully and then said with a solemn expression:
"So, as a core member, what do I need to do? You know, I need to leave Backlund for a while. Otherwise, even if those guys don't come, the official people will come."
"You don't have to worry about this. The task given to you is very simple - use that arrow to create more substitute messengers. But before that, you need to learn some basic occult knowledge..."
…
Just when Caspars, who had completed the mysterious enlightenment, said goodbye to Snow and boarded the passenger ship to the Suniya Sea, Audrey had just said goodbye to her "governess". After sorting out today's notes, she got up and walked towards
In the bedroom, there was an exquisite doll lying quietly at the head of her bed.
Audrey stepped forward, dragged the doll's armpits with her hands and lifted her up, just like an innocent girl chatting with her doll. After a moment, her beautiful eyes reflected
A little solemnly, he then put the unnaturally smiling puppet back on the bedside and called softly:
"Susie!"
"Audrey, are you looking for me?" Susie, who had just been accompanying Audrey to class, immediately ran over and wanted to stick out her tongue out of habit, but she remembered the elegant cat that had brought a considerable psychological shadow to her.
, after all, she shut her mouth like a lady.
"Susie, do you think there is something wrong with my mental state?" Audrey looked at Susie with some distress. Susie looked at Audrey quietly, then shook her head and said:
"Audrey, I'm just a dog."
"You are not an ordinary dog, you are an audience! Extraordinary! And you also studied psychology with me!"
Audrey spoke in an encouraging tone, Susie frowned humanely, and then said helplessly:
"But we have only been studying psychology for less than two months."
"Well...it seems like we are going to trouble Viscount Graylingt again. Oh, poor Graylingt...Anne! Please help me find out when Viscount Graylingt's latest ball is?"
