Vertek, the garden house rented by Gray Linte, in the basement where the clone of "Anxi" was originally handled.
Carol's slender waist was held by him with one hand, her right arm crossed Greenlight's left shoulder, and she leaned against his chest softly.
He threw Parro James, who was still in a coma, to the ground. He looked around and saw no soft things like a sofa. There was no place suitable for lying down and resting. There was only a hardwood stool, so he turned his head.
, looking at the girl’s delicate face so close, he said apologetically:
"There's really no way to lie down here. I'll send you to your room to rest first. When I'm done interrogating you, I'll tell you the result directly."
The breath of his voice made Carol's neck itchy, but she couldn't scratch it, so she had to exhale in the same way.
"It's okay, that's all. I want to know what's going on as soon as possible."
She shook her head, with two intoxicating blushes brewing on her face. Partly she was ashamed that she dared to be so bold, and partly she was stimulated by the aura of the opposite sex on Gray Linte's body.
Since Carol didn't mind, Grainte naturally didn't hesitate. He immediately sat on the stool and let the girl in his arms sit on his lap, leaning on it more relaxedly and comfortably, and then woke up
Parlo James.
…………
"What exactly are you going to do?"
"Where is this?"
The "charm" attached to Graylingt had been eliminated. As soon as the peasant-looking Paro James woke up, he looked around cautiously and asked Graylingt.
He did not try to fight back and escape. Past experience told him that in this case, obediently cooperating with the other party would at least save him some pain.
"Mr. James, please understand your situation."
Gray Lint sneered and said without answering the question:
"Tell me, what is Shatila's recent mission like?"
"I hope you can cooperate a little. In that case, for the sake of leading us the way, I can still keep your life."
"Otherwise, I don't mind letting you know what it means to be alive more painful than dead."
Paro's heart sank, and he did not doubt the authenticity of Gray Linte's threats.
He nodded and said honestly:
"That's right, she received that mission five days ago... It was a mission involving the Rose School of Thought. I don't know the specific content."
A week ago, Carol happened to come to Vertek and told him that Shatila had a complete set of "Chaos Mentor" materials. Immediately afterwards, the moth from the Rose School came, which seemed to be "Desire"
"Mother Tree" glimpsed something.
Gray Linte's eyes darkened and he said nothing, until he heard him continue:
"I originally heard that it was a very troublesome task that might take a long time, but I don't know why. She completed the task smoothly last night, and then returned to Kuwa around early in the morning... and
One of her lovers was indulged in for a long time... and then you know what happened."
"By the way, how is she doing now?"
He fainted immediately at the first wave of the tree-like monster's charming smile, and had no idea what happened next.
Greenlight ignored him.
last night...
Hearing this time, he couldn't help but frowned.
He and Carol had just discussed it last night and planned to exchange for the material today, and then Shatila happened to rush back, and as expected, she brought back the tree-shaped evil statue.
If there is nothing fishy here, Gray Lint can swallow up the starry sky path characteristics of Sequence 3!
But the question is, how did the "Mother Tree of Desire" know his plan?
And the last time Carol exchanged information about Shatila with him, it was in his dream... The only people who knew about these two incidents were Gray Lint himself and Carol... There is no way it was Carol.
Is there something wrong with Luo Er?
Thinking of this, he subconsciously looked at the girl in his arms and found that she had just turned her head... their eyes suddenly met, and the distance between the two faces was less than twenty centimeters.
"cough……"
Gray Linte turned his head, coughed dryly, and put aside this absurd idea.
…
After the questioning, in the uneasy mood of Paro James, Gray Lint pondered for a moment. Considering that he didn't know much, he didn't kill him to keep it secret, and asked:
"Are you an Extraordinary of that path? What is the sequence?"
Upon hearing this, a light of hope flashed in Paro's eyes, and he quickly introduced himself:
"'Tiller' path, Your Excellency, I am Sequence 8 of the 'Tiller' path, the 'physician' of the Mother Goddess Church."
"'Doctor'..."
Gray Linte murmured, remembering that he had accepted April's commission half a year ago in order to make friends with April, the "doctor".
"Quite useful."
He didn't pay attention to the "Earth Mother Goddess" church that the other party deliberately pointed out. He made a silent comment and said quietly:
"If you are willing to convert to my Lord and promise to be loyal to Him and never betray, I can let you go..."
It is only right to bury a nail in Feneport. To become the "Lord of Order" in the past, he must have the "Hand of Order" trait. And Trunsoest is one of his own, so he can only
Can he consider killing Augustus's "Protector", or Feneport's unknown "Hand of Order"... Of course, currently he is more inclined to kill William Augustus I - anyway
If you want to kill George III and have a deadly feud with the Augustus family, then you might as well not bother the two masters at all...
Besides, he should sort out their pursuit of the descendants of the "Night King" Trunsoest, both emotionally and logically!
…
"good."
Parro James' expression was distorted for a long time, and he finally chose to betray in order to survive.
While he recited the honorable name and swore allegiance, Gray Lint imitated his own experience of swearing to the "loyalty of the betrayer" and threw a wisp of black mist on the person of Sequence 2.
When you plan to betray in the future, you will be twisted into "betraying yourself" and achieve self-destruction... I have to say that the "secret keeping" method invented by George III, an ambitious man, is a little shameless, but it is indeed effective.
In fact, converting to the evil god can make most people loyal enough to not dare to betray, but Gray Lint doesn't have that much time to stare at him all day long.
"Okay, go back to Kuwa by yourself!"
After dealing with Paro, Gray Lint immediately sent him away.
He didn't care that this was East Balam, Vertek in North Olit State, which was a full ten or twenty days' journey from Kukwa in West Balam, Uttar Pradesh. If Shatila died, Paro would definitely rush back.
He will be questioned severely... If he can't handle even this little thing, then there is no need for Gray Lint to use him.
…………
Without the burden of Paro, Gray Linte felt more relaxed. He passed his right hand under the girl's knee and carried Carol to his room upstairs in a princess hug.
The valet who was wiping the handrail of the stairs was secretly speechless... This is really the fourth one!
And it’s still broad daylight!
After closing the door to the room, Gray Linte put the weak Carol on the soft big bed and placed a pillow behind her to make her more comfortable.
The atmosphere was a little awkward and ambiguous for a while.
"Do you need me to help you take off your shoes and socks?"
The girl's cheeks turned red, she nodded shyly and responded:
"Thanks."
She was still wearing the same style of beige deep leather boots.
Gray Lint had never done such work of serving people, but now he didn't want a maid to do it for him... He put the girl's calf on his thigh, unzipped his boots, and
He easily pinched the bottom of the boot and took it off... The next second, he suddenly felt a little funny and put down his inner thoughts - because Carol was actually wearing cute pure white cotton socks with embroidered
Pink strawberries.
God, what kind of preference is this for a cute little girl!
It just ruins the character, okay?
Aren't you always walking neatly, with a dashing and handsome lady style?
With a ninja smile, he carefully took off her white socks and held up a pair of tender white feet... Then, his heart beat hard and unsatisfactorily, and he fell into a sluggish state for a moment.
"Ahem."
It wasn't until Carol coughed with a red face that he suddenly woke up. He couldn't help but blush. He glanced guiltily at the girl who seemed to be looking at the scenery outside the window. He straightened the girl's calves and feet in time, and then
He stood up, shook the silk quilt, and pulled it to the girl's chest.
"Then I'll leave first...you have a good rest."
After quickly saying this, he turned around in a panic and wanted to leave.
He just had the urge to pick up the girl's feet and kiss her directly! Oh my God, he had never known before that he actually had this weird habit!
"Wait a minute..."
Hearing the girl's request to stay, he subconsciously turned around and looked at her doubtfully, thinking that there was something important. But Carol was still looking out the window... She asked casually:
"Can you...stay with me for a while?"
It must be said that Gray Lint was not attentive enough. The girl in front of him had just experienced such a weird and evil extraordinary event, and she had not yet recovered. It was just when she was panicking and in urgent need of companionship and comfort that he actually wanted to directly
Leaving... However, Carole has always been bold, daring to love and hate, but she was more proactive than him and spoke directly to win him over.
"OK."
Of course Graylint would not refuse such a request.
He looked around, brought a chair over, and put it in front of the bed. He suddenly thought that it was already afternoon, but the two of them had gone to Kuwa early in the morning and had not had lunch yet, so he asked casually:
"Are you hungry? How about I go get some food and let's talk while eating."
It was okay if he didn't say it, but when he did, Carol was really hungry.
But she still shook her head and said:
"Don't bother, I have some ready-made food here."
As she spoke, she reluctantly raised her wrist, twisted it slightly, and took out something that could be eaten quickly.
…………
Nothing else happened. After the two ate, they chatted for a while. Carol completely relaxed physically and mentally and fell into a comfortable sleep.
On the side, Gray Linte heard Carol's voice gradually getting softer and her breathing slowly becoming evener. He knew that she had fallen asleep, so he also leaned on the edge of the bed and the back of the chair, closed his eyes and began to meditate.
…
First of all, his "Corruption Baron" potion has now been completely digested, so the next trip is not very necessary... But anyway, there are no other very important things recently, and he will complete this trip from beginning to end.
, which is also the proper meaning.
Moreover, he was the one who dragged Carol over to accompany him on the trip yesterday. It would be outrageous if he turned around and regretted it.
However, this does not delay his promotion. Now he can ask Basel to help prepare a supporting material and put the matter of promotion to Sequence 5 on the agenda!
"Well, we can do this this evening."
…
Secondly, Gray Linte plans to contact Bernadette to see if she can use her method to make the extraordinary properties of the Star Path and Sequence 3 into magical items.
After all, her brother is an angel of the Church of Steam.
Gray Linte asked Russell's daughter for help because he had no choice. After all, he had no other way to contact a high-level "craftsman". Only Bernadette had the relationship between Sharon and Maric.
There is a certain possibility of contacting her... and "0-05" is in her hands. Based on the aggregation of extraordinary characteristics, Gray Lint will have to deal with her sooner or later.
"I wonder what their relationship is like between brother and sister... uh, brother and sister? The Church of Steam was also involved in the destruction of Russell's mausoleum. Maybe Bernadette may not be so fond of her brother whose divinity suppresses humanity?
But we can definitely still get in touch, it just depends on whether I can get the bargaining chip she cares about."
With Russell's legacy, Bernadette is definitely not very interested in magical items or potion formulas. What she is interested in, Glalint knows very well, is information about Russell.
"Why don't you teach her Chinese... Hey, am I a bit too devilish..."
This is definitely a bargaining chip that is enough to impress her. Even changing "0-05" is not a problem, and there is no harm to Gray Lint... The final victim is only Huang Tao - but although Huang Tao did do it
There are many ridiculous and sinful things, but it would be too cruel to break the most majestic image of a father in the eyes of his daughter.
And to gain profit through this is something that Gray Linte despises and disdains.
Yes, he has indeed decided to take the "Black Emperor" path, which is destined to eliminate Huang Tao's chance of resurrection, but one thing is another thing, and it is too despicable to use this method to achieve his goal.
After thinking about it, he gradually came up with trading ideas.
…
In addition to these two things, one thing he is still worrying about recently is:
Although he had decided to raise the two banners of "anti-colonial aggression" and "anti-capitalist exploitation", he found that he lacked a systematic program and spiritual guidance. After all, he only remembered a few spoken words - this was terrible
It cannot serve as a beacon for a country's direction of progress or the soul of an army.
"Speaking of this matter, it's best to go to his brother Amon... If I remember correctly, the nationality of the ancient sun god in the old city is exactly what I need - if he doesn't know enough about it yet
, then I can only hope that those 'cocoons' on the 'Origin Castle' contain the memories I need to know."
"Forget it, let's put up these two flags first and then talk...
Thinking on the bright side, maybe some aspiring people can understand those things by themselves based on my few words?"
"Well, I still have too few manpower here. This kind of ideological trend that leads the times will definitely be crazily suppressed by the old forces when it is born. The best way is to bloom in major cities around the world at the same time!
"
"Hey, it turns out that a senior 'audience' is the most suitable person to do this kind of thing."
"I hope that after I reach Sequence 5, I can easily control that 'Servant of Madness'..."
After all, things circle back to sequence promotion.
…………
After more than an hour, Carol woke up, but Graylingt was thinking about something and fell asleep lying on the edge of the bed, just like an attendant caring for patients in the hospital.
Carol slept half sitting and half lying down, with her back propped up quite high. When she woke up, her thighs were a little numb... After subconsciously reaching out and rubbing them, she realized that her muscles no longer
Feeling sore and soft, I can now exert my strength normally.
When she moved the quilt like this, Gray Linte also woke up. It was not that comfortable for him to sleep on his stomach, so he slept very lightly.
Rubbing his groggy eyes, he didn't know that one of Carol's legs was numb. He looked at her using her arms to support her body and tried hard to get up. He thought she hadn't fully recovered, so he stood up suddenly.
She stood up and reached out to hold her right shoulder:
"Slow down, are you going to do something? Do you need me to call the maid to come over and help you?"
He was thinking maybe the girl needed to go to the bathroom or something.
Carol is a very smart and careful girl. She immediately understood that he had misunderstood, so she borrowed a little help from him, stood up and sat upright on the edge of the bed, and then explained:
"It's okay. All the effects from the morning have been eliminated. It was just that I slept sitting down for too long and my legs couldn't use any strength."
What’s interesting is that both of them felt that this incident was their own fault...
In Greenlight's view, the target of the "Mother Tree of Desire" is only himself, and Carol is a completely innocent victim. If she is affected in any way by this, he will definitely feel uneasy.
Judging from the current situation, apart from making her believe in his "evil god", everything else is fine.
The same goes for Carol. She didn't know that the evil god with flamboyant desires was originally coming for Gray Linte. She thought it was just a simple coincidence and that she almost killed Gray Linte. She couldn't help but feel very sad.
Guilt.
"By the way, Gray Lint."
"Um?"
Carol suddenly seemed to remember something, shook her feet, and called out to Gray Linte. After receiving the response, she said excitedly:
"Do you know what happened after I recited that honorable name in ancient Hermetic language in the morning?"
Then can I not know?
Apart from not listening carefully to your chat with Trunsoest, everything else has something to do with me!
But Greenlight didn't want to ruin the girl's sense of surprise, nor did he want to be a topic terminator, so he pretended to be ignorant and said with a smile:
"I think you should have gone into that bright yellow strange space."
"But I don't know what else you saw or experienced?"
It was only after Carol recited it completely that he realized that it turned out that Trunsoest had reported his name... There is a saying that the name of Trunsoest, the former true god, was indeed
Louder than "Lord of Order", "Son of Chaos"
It was much brighter, but when he usually got along with Graylingt, he never mentioned those past events, and Graylingt was very self-conscious about the past, so he gradually became accustomed to his humble attitude, forgetting that he had once been
An emperor who commanded the Northern Continent.
The main reason is that He is too easy-going and has no dignity or posture at all.
"It's Him."
Gray Linte pretended to be very familiar with it, nodded, and said casually:
"It seems that he was having a good conversation today. Normally, he never talks about the things of the Fourth Age."
"usually?"
Carol repeated the word, in a confused tone.
Then, she suddenly realized and asked:
"Could it be that you have a chair there, right? You can often see those great beings who serve our Lord...?"
"No wonder you are so confident in your own gods!"
"So you actually often attend meetings before God there?"
Hearing this slightly unfamiliar "my lord" made Gray Lint feel physically and mentally comfortable, and his bones felt a little stiff...
"That's right."
He did have a chair, but it was the largest one, the one encrusted with gems.
"Uh... do we need to pray to our Lord often? I think you don't seem to have this habit?"
Before being promoted to an angel, Extraordinary people do not need believers as anchors. On the contrary, too confusing beliefs as anchors will also interfere with Extraordinary people's self-perception - although Gray Lint has the essence and can suppress the influence, it does not need to
Although he was worried about this problem, he still never preached on a large scale, even if Sobia was considered an area under his actual control.
"No, just keep your devotion to our Lord in your heart instead of talking about it all the time..."
Since Carol asked, Gray Lint just made some nonsense, then drew a five-pointed star on his chest and explained:
"The same goes for this gesture. You don't need to make it normally, as long as you know its meaning."
"Also, in the future, when you want to find me, or when I want to contact you, you can directly recite my Lord's name in ancient Hermes... Well, we are all His favored ones now. In these aspects
, He has given us great autonomy and convenience, and even forwarding items can be accomplished through the corresponding rituals of 'sacrifice' and 'request for gift'."
Although it may not be necessary, Gray Linte still told the girl in front of him all these things in detail, which made her dumbfounded.
It turns out... do all organizations with gods operate like this?
Isn't this great being too talkative?
It is not as crazy, evil, chaotic and terrifying as the "evil god" recorded and described in all the classics and files!
"So besides getting some convenience, I have no impact at all?"
she asked in disbelief.
"Well, theoretically speaking, the tasks assigned by our Lord also require your efforts..."
But in fact, if something really happened, he would choose to communicate directly with Carol, respect her self-will, and would not give her mandatory orders as the "Lord of Order."
Gray Lint responded, and then joked with a smile:
"Strictly speaking, you should be considered a believer in my development, and you are only under my control...so you must listen to me in the future!"
Carol gave him a graceful eye roll and refused:
"You are so beautiful. If what you are conveying is His Highness's order, then I really have nothing to say...but if you want to use public service for personal gain, that won't work."
She was not used to calling the "Lord of Order" by his name, so she had an idea and chose to address the great being as "Your Highness" just like Trunsoest. But she was just following the same example. In fact, she
I don't understand the meaning of this title at all.
There is no difference between the two...
Gray Linte snickered secretly in his heart, holding it in very hard.
…………
Seeing that it was still early, he took Carol back to Sloan Silan, discussed it for a few words, and rushed to Brother Zhaluo without stopping... Only when he arrived at Brother Zhaluo did he realize that the frontal battlefield here had already begun.
He moved south, then came to Klea where he and Vertek were helping each other, and finally found Basel.
"Your Majesty the Envoy of God!"
After confirming that Gray Lint had closed the door, Basel immediately changed his attitude. It was not just the same official and dignified face dealing with subordinates, but also a little respect and expectation.
"May I ask, Your Majesty the Divine Envoy, what orders do you have?"
"A little personal matter."
Gray Linte waved his hand, extinguishing part of Basel's enthusiasm, and explained in detail:
"I am about to be promoted to Sequence 5. I have prepared the corresponding extraordinary characteristics, but I still lack two auxiliary materials. Is it convenient for you to prepare one for me?"
Even with the acting method, the speed at which Gray Linte was promoted was really terrifying.
Although Graylint did not bring the oracle, he could not accumulate contributions... But after Basel was surprised, he still expressed his enthusiasm and nodded in reply:
"No problem, it's very simple."
"I'll write you a note. You can just go to Wilmings Street to get it. Although I don't know the corresponding potion formula, as long as MI9 has these mid- to low-sequence auxiliary materials, I can do whatever I want.
Withdrawal."
"Only when you get extraordinary characteristics, it's a little more troublesome. Even if you get the sequence characteristics, you have to write a written report and sign for confirmation."
As he spoke, he began to write the approval note. By the time he finished speaking, the approval note was already written.
It seems that my choice to support myself is still the right one!
Graylingt nodded secretly, signed the note, thanked him and said goodbye, then wandered to Wilmings Street, the first-level branch of MI9 in the South Continent.
Getting here was even smoother. With the approval note from Basel, the material clearing staff did not even need to notify Darnell, but directly took out the corresponding items and handed them over to Gray Lint - only a few hundred dollars in total.
It's just something worth pounds. As long as the procedures are reasonable, there is no need to bother people.
Next, it’s time to advance to Sequence 5!
"At least I can barely catch up with Carol!"
Gray Linte murmured in his heart, secretly excited and full of expectations, and even wanted to go to the valley tonight to complete the promotion as soon as possible...
