In the evening, at No. 124 Franz Street, Gray Lint was thinking about what to have for dinner when he suddenly heard two dull knocks on the glass. He finally waited for Miss Wraith.
"Good evening, Miss Sharon." He said a simple greeting without saying much, until he asked the topic: "What are the specific details of the ceremony and the time when it will be held?"
"ceremony?"
Unexpectedly, Sharon emerged from the glass of the window and asked a strange question.
Gray Lint frowned:
"What? Didn't Ms. Tinichole say that she would ask you to hand over the corresponding information to me?"
Sharon suddenly understood and took out a piece of letter paper that had been folded many times:
"That's what I'm here to do. The specific information is all written here... The teacher said that there are some things that are not suitable for me to understand yet..."
So that’s it.
Graylingt no longer had any doubts, nodded, took the letter, and read it eagerly.
On the other side, after Sharon completed the task, she consciously left here without any thought of prying into the so-called "ritual" - "knowledge" is also a desire that needs to be controlled.
Thirteen young women with flamboyant desires, and more than ten times the number of strong men. The personnel requirements and ritual steps are... In terms of materials, the "Indulgence Sect" has already prepared more than half of them. The time is uncertain and needs to be determined according to the planet.
Operation, waiting for a certain opportunity, the judgment method is... a little estimation, the time will be probably next winter.
"this……"
While reading the contents recorded on this piece of paper, Gray Lint couldn't help but be stunned. This ceremony had exceeded the lower limit of his understanding of ethics and morals.
"Huh?"
With disgust, Gray Linte looked at the ritual process again, and suddenly found that the description above was a little familiar.
"This kind of 'carnival' is similar to what Hesel encountered... Is it the consistent style of the 'indulgants'? Or is there any connection between the two?
"Oh, it turns out I was overthinking it."
At the end of the letter, Reinette clearly mentioned that this ritual was not a "solidified ritual", but a new ritual independently designed by the "Indulgence School" based on some basic logic.
"With this kind of 'innovation consciousness', it's not a good idea to do something..."
While complaining, Gray Linte put away the letter, his head aching slightly.
"In terms of rituals, I know nine out of ten - I don't know anything, so I don't really have many choices. One is to ignore the ritual, just focus on the 'opportunity', and then directly intervene in the ritual process with extraordinary abilities;
The second step is to consult an expert with rich knowledge of mysticism and a high enough level... At present, I only know one Adam."
As for Bernadette and Ursula, they are still lacking in character. If they rashly participate in rituals involving foreign gods, their lives may be in danger. Not to mention Carol, her reserve of occult knowledge is relatively high.
A high-sequence powerhouse who specializes in rituals is still relatively shallow. Secondly, although Gray Linte can take her to conduct analysis in the "Order World", she can't always stay there until Sequence 2, right?
After weighing it again and again, Graylingt resorted to the "drag" tactic.
"Forget it, let's prepare to directly intervene in the ceremony... After all, even if I am willing to find Adam now, I may not be able to find him."
…………
While Gray Linte was concentrating on the government affairs of Sobia, time flew by quickly. Nearly two months passed in the blink of an eye, and it came to the last month of 1349.
On the side of "Godly Sin" Si'a, they didn't make any changes before the time came, so Gray Lint didn't pay much attention to this side.
On the Secret Order's side, after Carol submitted the spying information under her identity as Eudora, there was no movement from the Secret Order and the Intis military. It was not as expected by Gray Linte.
Send someone to kill Calvin.
"Could it be that Basel took advantage of Calvin's opportunity to advance to a high-sequence, tricked and killed one of their demigods, and made them frightened?"
He speculated disdainfully.
Of course, whether Calvin dies or not, or whether he dies sooner or later, is not bad news for Graylingt... Strictly speaking, he even hopes that the Secret Order will wait until he is promoted to demigod.
He would do it later, because he planned to ambush Deborah simultaneously, and the "disappearance" of the two Sequence 4s would definitely lead to the Augustus family angels. If he did not have the demigod rank, it would be quite dangerous to deal with it.
.
Sequence 4, Demigod, is no longer so out of reach for Gray Lint. Just today, he has digested all the "Chaos Tutor" potions he has taken, and has the ability to continue on.
He is qualified for promotion, and apart from the characteristics of the "Corrupted Earl" as the main material, he has also prepared other auxiliary materials in the past two months.
"All that's left is the ceremony..."
About to take the most critical step, Gray Lint was not as excited as he had imagined, but instead felt deeply confused about the unknown road ahead.
"For me, promotion to Sequence 4 should be the most difficult step in the entire Sequence path. Since there can't be believers as anchors to balance divinity, the difficulty of maintaining humanity will increase dramatically."
It's not that he feels sorry for himself, but that he has a sufficiently accurate grasp of his own situation.
With the special characteristics of his spirit body, when he has completely digested the pre-sequence magic potions and completed the rituals, it is almost impossible for him to be unable to restrain his madness and be transformed into a monster when he is promoted... To say the least, even if he really
Unluckily enough, he encountered the natural probability of failure in promotion, so he still had one last resort, which was to jump his consciousness to a high level and use the source matter to suppress the activated and crazy characteristics, just like suppressing Anxi.
…
Throughout the Southern Continent, after several months of fermentation, the "seeds of chaos" originally sown by Gray Lint can be said to have intensified. There are parades almost every week, and speeches promoting "racial equality, class equality" are heard every day.
Every city has its own show.
To Graylingt's surprise, part of his original expectations came true!
Some people with lofty ideals who read his writings really awakened their national consciousness and began to devote themselves to the struggle for colonial liberation and the elimination of class oppression. Some of them, who were more educated and had advanced ideas, even
, with innovative discussions, art...
The most representative of them happened to be someone whom Glerint knew: Maureen Warner, a talented, compassionate and empathetic violinist. Based on his own experience of protesting against the aborigines,
He took a big step forward in his thinking and understood the meaning, correctness and justice of what he had done before. He composed three chapters and fourteen songs in total, a lament for colonial oppression and a tribute to racial equality.
Compared with boring and boring discussion, art is a more contagious way of teaching.
It was precisely under such a chaotic reign and agitated thoughts that Gray Lint completed the digestion of all Sequence 5 potions so quickly.
…
Backlund.
In the middle of last month, George III held a grand commendation ceremony, inviting various media, major nobles, foreign envoys... and publicly awarded more than a hundred officers, including Gray Linte and Isla.
.
Among them, Gray Lint received, as previously officially announced, he was promoted to earl and received the rank of major general. In addition, his actual job was also improved privately and he became the "Deputy Chief of the First-level Southern Continent Branch of MI9".
He took office in January of the following year because Darnell was preparing to "retire" and return to the northern continent.
As for the seat of the House of Lords, with his current qualifications, he is not yet qualified to obtain it. However, normally, with the status of a hereditary earl, as long as he stays around for a few years or ten, this seat will naturally fall into his hands.
Here, you don’t need to worry about anything anymore.
Later, as the core role of this award, Gray Lint held a dinner in accordance with "etiquette" to show his attitude to the conservative party bosses who strongly supported him...
Of course, except for dealing with George III, Graylingt used his virtual personality to deal with the above chores.
On Kapin's side, Gray Lint himself didn't take any action. He only relied on Klein, Shirley and Jim. Sure enough, they still couldn't find anything deep. In the end, they had to simulate "Extraordinary's Revenge" and kill Kapin with a single click.
It's okay to level a target. If any high-sequence characters were provoked, the three of them would definitely not be able to handle it. At that time, Gray Linte was afraid of George III and William I, and it was not convenient to use high-sequence abilities to rescue them.
, things are definitely going to get pretty tricky.
This day was the weekend. According to the method given by Ursula, Gray Linte used Anxi's clone to make an appointment with Bernadette. The location was again at the Golden Rose Cafe, next to the Russell Memorial Hall.
Compared to before, the atmosphere between them this time was much more subtle, each with their own thoughts.
After a long silence, Bernadette spoke first:
"It seems like you don't lack suitable sealed objects?"
Gray Lint's consciousness was at a high level. He manipulated Anxi to say "Huh?", stirred his coffee cup, and asked her incoherent words:
"What's the meaning?"
Bernadette did not touch the drinks on the table and said calmly:
"Sister Ursula told me that you and little Amy may ask me to order sealed items in the near future, and help her break the 'Chain of Parasites' to be promoted..." She had already secretly noticed the tattoo on Anxi's wrist.
"Chain of Parasites", now even more blatantly glanced at his wrist, and asked with a deep meaning: "Speaking of which, Little Amy's 'Dream Stealer' potion should be almost digested, right?
Why did she give you the bracelet and ask you to come to me to smash it and prepare for promotion?"
She didn't have any ill intentions, the main reason was that Gray Lint had always been mysterious and mysterious, which made her very afraid that Carol would meet someone unkind and be "swindled of money and sex" by him.
However, her attitude made Gray Linte very unhappy.
What qualifications do you have to ask questions? Especially in such a condescending and questioning tone. You are an "elder"? But little Amy doesn't know you very well? You are a Sequence 3? Sorry,
I just got rid of one a while ago!
He grinned without a smile, and did not mention the fact that Carol had not only reached Sequence 4, but had even digested more than half of the "Parasite" potion, but intentionally or unintentionally misled her:
"You don't have to worry about little Amy. I can also do things like crushing sealed objects."
After lightly hinting to her that Carol hadn't been promoted yet, and planting a clue that she didn't know if it was necessary or not, Gray Linte got to the point of looking for her today.
"Unfortunately, I didn't come to you for help today in the name of Aunt Ursula, but about the opportunity for your promotion... You have to admit that I was the one who led you to Backlund, right?"
Bernadette suddenly frowned and said:
"Yes, but I remember that I have paid the reward... and I must emphasize that I care more about the information that you call 'only angels are qualified to know', rather than the promotion itself." She thought.
Graylingt is greedy.
Gray Lint didn't care about her attitude and deliberately didn't answer her words directly. He nodded and asked to himself:
"So how are you preparing? Do you mind sharing the information you have?"
