Chapter 469 Fors and Emlyn's Growth
Emlyn White was thrown into a state of turmoil by Hugh's speculation.
In the past, he would have been overjoyed at the possibility of escaping the Church of Mother Earth.
But now he has truly begun to identify with the doctrines of Mother Earth and has officially become a registered priest of the Church of Mother Earth.
Emlyn White is caught in an unprecedented internal conflict as his proud vampire identity clashes with his changing beliefs.
Those who live in Backlund, including "Justice," know more or less about "The Moon's" identity and can understand his inner turmoil, so when they look at the suddenly silent "The Moon," their eyes are filled with sympathy.
This is something that cannot be changed by the feelings of the person involved; they can only face it themselves, and no one else can help them make choices or decisions.
Glancing at what no one present wanted to share, and sensing his own spiritual depletion, "The Fool" Klein decisively ended today's tarot session and returned to reality.
"Hopefully I won't fall into a deep sleep this time. Every tarot meeting is like an execution for me. There probably isn't a more pathetic or miserable evil god in the world than me, right?"
Klein lay on the large bed in the Bayam Hotel, looked at the chandelier in the room, chuckled self-deprecatingly, and then slowly drifted off to sleep.
Meanwhile, Hugh woke up in his own bedroom, got up and left, intending to force open Fors' bedroom door.
She had previously wanted to give Fors some private space to help her process the emotional impact of receiving her biological father's obituary.
However, Fors's reaction at the Tarot meeting was really abnormal, so Xiu should not take any decisive action.
Hugh stood in front of Fors' bedroom door, his eyes gleaming, his right hand clenched, ready to punch and smash the door open. But Fors opened the door and walked out.
Looking at Hugh's fist that was almost within reach and feeling the fierce wind of the punch coming towards him, Fors smiled and said, "Luckily I guessed that you would take action, otherwise, I would have to replace the new door that I just replaced a few months ago again."
"Who knows what the apartment manager will say about me behind my back!"
Hugh lowered his fist, looked Fors up and down, and found that although she was somewhat disheveled and haggard, she had not yet reached the point of "turning evil" as he had imagined. He breathed a slight sigh of relief.
However, having carried out many missions within MI9 and seen far too many seemingly normal people, she was still not entirely at ease and cautiously asked, "Are you alright? Your behavior at the tarot meeting today was completely unlike your usual self!"
"I'm fine, don't worry. I've just realized something. That is, never be a frog in slowly boiling water, indulging in temporary comfort while remaining oblivious to impending crises."
Since joining the Tarot Club, joining MI9, and becoming an apprentice of Mr. Dorian, neither the Curse of the Full Moon nor the acquisition of potion recipes and materials has become a problem that bothers me. This has fostered a strong sense of laziness in me!
My father's death was, in a way, his last lesson to me: danger can strike at any time.
Hugh understood the sincerity in Fors's words and finally breathed a sigh of relief, even feeling happy for his friend's change.
"So, are you going to participate in MI9's missions next and actively play your part?"
Hugh is now a small faction within MI9, which makes it easy for him to assign tasks to Fors and help her speed up her role-playing process.
"That's right, but before that, I need to go to Pulitzer Port to see my teacher!"
Fors did not refuse Hugh's offer, but she still had things to do, and she could not rest easy if she did not do this.
"Why do you need to see your teacher?"
Fors's connections with the Abraham family should be minimized, especially given that MI9's Internal Affairs Department conducts unscheduled internal checks.
Therefore, Fors and Dorian rarely used worldly means to contact each other, let alone visit each other in person.
"Although the Abraham family doesn't have many high-ranking experts, after so many years of expansion, it has branches in both the northern and southern continents, and its power is enormous."
I would like to ask the teacher to find his clansmen in the Southern Continent to help me with my father's funeral arrangements. If—if she is willing to leave the Southern Continent, she can also help with the aftermath.
Fors spoke in a complex and enigmatic yet firm tone, while Hugh could only sigh and not interfere with his friend's decision.
After Fors' father settled down in the Southern Continent, he not only got a new wife, but also gave birth to a young brother for Fors.
After Fors' father passed away, the mother and son were now a typical widow and orphan. In addition, the estate left by Fors' father was quite large, so their current situation was no different from that of a three-year-old child carrying a gold brick through a busy street, which was extremely dangerous.
It would be a lie to say that Fors felt no resentment towards the mother and son, but matters of the heart are very complicated. She clearly didn't want to regret her recklessness in the future, which is why she decided to get involved.
"You did the right thing, I support your decision. If you'd like, I can help you settle them in my hometown."
Although our family title has been stripped, we still hold prestige in the area, and my mother and brother can help them from nearby!
Since you've decided to support your friend's decision, then you should offer practical help.
Placing Fors' stepmother and brother in their hometown would allow his mother and brother to help each other nearby, while also keeping them away from Backlund and maintaining a certain distance, which would benefit both sides.
"Um, thank you, Hugh, that's a really great idea."
Although she had decided to deal with the mess left by her father, it was impossible for her not to feel resentful. Therefore, Fors was extremely grateful for Hugh's suggestion.
Because there was no time to lose, Fors, who was already quite proactive, took a shower, changed her clothes, and prepared to go to Pulitzer Port, hoping to arrive before dark.
Hugh also went to MI9 to ask the local garrison to take good care of the families of MI9 members.
The situation in the Southern Continent is becoming increasingly tense. Without the background of MI9, even if Fors' father was a retired soldier, the local garrison might not be able to take care of his family.
However, if one were to be recognized as a surviving member of MI9, things would be different; the local garrison commander would treat this matter as a top priority.
Because MI9 also has the responsibility of monitoring overseas military deployments.
While Hugh and Fors were dealing with the aftermath, Emlyn White woke up in his bedroom.
In the past, the first thing he would do every time he got out of bed was to tidy up the dolls around him and clean up any dust that might have fallen on them. But today he did not do that. He just lay motionless on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling, without saying a word.
"Could this be a trial?" The lady is overthinking it. Perhaps His Excellency the Duke simply came to Backlund for a visit?
After a long while, Emlyn White finally sat up in bed and chuckled bitterly in a low voice.
However, he remained uneasy, because, as the "Judgment Lady" had said, it was not normal for an angel to appear in the tense and suspicious Backlund at this time.
Emlyn White was deeply conflicted and, after much deliberation, decided that he still needed to give Father Utravsky a heads-up.
Compared to His Excellency the Duke, even with the blessing of the Earth Mother Goddess, the difference between the two is too great.
Emlyn hurriedly put on the brown robes of the Church of the Earth Mother, flagged down a carriage, and while telling himself his destination, he tried to appease his betrayal of his vampire identity with the reason of "fairness".
"Oh? There's such a thing?"
Kneeling on the emblem of Mother Earth, with his hands clasped as if cradling a baby, Father Utravsky, who had just finished his prayer, turned to look at Emlin with some surprise.
"That's true, so your situation has become somewhat dangerous. If possible, could you please leave Backlund for a few days? I'll look after things here!"
Emlyn White had spent quite some time with the priest and knew that the priest was unlikely to listen to his opinion on this matter, but he still wanted to give it a try.
The priest's reaction was not unexpected. He simply smiled gently, then turned his head and looked softly at the emblem of the Earth Mother Goddess. He said with a smile, "I once swore to the Mother Goddess that I would make the Mother Goddess's faith flourish in the Kingdom of Rune. How can I easily leave the most influential Backlund?"
And you don't need to worry, I am a chosen one of the Mother Goddess, she will protect me!
As he spoke, Father Utravsky bowed his head and began to pray again, leaving Emlyn White helpless and stomping his foot as he left the church.
He wasn't trying to hide from the situation; on the contrary, he wanted to confront it head-on.
He is the future savior handpicked by the progenitor, and he has a unique voice, which obviously needs to be amplified in conjunction with his own strength.
What he needs to do is find those five artificial vampires as soon as possible, win the competition as soon as possible, digest the potion in his body as soon as possible, and complete his advancement as soon as possible, hoping that in the future, the big shots of the vampire clan will patiently listen to his words.
Now he needs to find the gray channel that Sherlock gave him to see if he can find his target as soon as possible!
Evan, who was sitting in the captain's chair in the captain's cabin, also woke up. Thinking about Fors's strange behavior earlier, a look appeared on his face—
A hint of hesitation.
But Evan quickly made a decision in his heart, stood up, found a few candles, and began to set up a ritual in the captain's cabin. Finally, he placed a gold coin in the center of the altar, and after setting up the spiritual wall, he began to chant in ancient Hermes: "I!"
In my name I summon spirits that wander in illusion, benevolent creatures at my beck and call, messengers belonging solely to Gehrman Sparrow!
Suddenly, a strong wind arose in the captain's cabin, causing the candlelight to swell and turn pale. A head with blond hair, red eyes, and striking features emerged from the opened gate to the spirit world.
Soon, Renette Tinicol, dressed in an elaborate long dress, appeared swiftly in the captain's cabin. The four heads she was carrying all looked at Evan and spoke in turn: "You—want—to—send a letter?"
Evan shook his head, bowed slightly, and said, "I am Evan Horn. I believe Miss Sharon has already told you about me!"
Renette Tinicol was visibly surprised, scrutinizing Evan with all eight of her eyes. Seeing Evan standing there smiling, she finally scratched her head, nodded, and said, "I—indeed—have—heard of you—from—Len—but—how—did—you—know—my existence?"
He had specifically instructed Sharon not to reveal Xiu's identity or her existence to others, so he was quite wary of Evan, who suddenly came to his door, even though Sharon said that Evan had helped her a lot.
"Although Miss Sharon and I have worked together extensively, I would still like to give a brief self-introduction."
I am Mr. Z, a major general in the Kingdom of Rune, a chosen one of the Goddess of Night and the True Creator, and the Aurora Society's officer in charge of affairs in the Northern Continent.
Renette Tinicol's four heads involuntarily opened their mouths, staring at Evan in shock.
Sharon's description of Evan focuses on the Horn family, and Mr. Collins and Ms. Bernadette, who secretly cooperate with the Horn family, while knowing very little about Evan's secret identity.
Therefore, Renette Tinicol had no idea that Evan Horn was simultaneously a favorite of both a good god and an evil god.
Neither of these identities would elicit a significant reaction from him, since he himself is an angel and has no special feelings or reverence for so-called favored ones.
However, when these two identities are combined, anyone can sense the unusualness of it, let alone someone who possesses both identities simultaneously!
"What do you want from me?"
"I want to see you, partly to facilitate your cooperation with the Aurora Society. You should know that our Aurora Society has begun to suppress the Rose School."
On the other hand, I also want to facilitate a collaboration between the Horn family and you!
After Evan finished speaking, he looked at Renette Tinicol without saying a word. When he saw that she didn't immediately turn away, he knew that there was hope for both of them!
"The truth—the owner—a few days ago—outside the ruins of the God War—made a move against the dark side of the universe."
"What—is His—purpose!"
Renette Tinicol presented Evan with a test: if Evan was unwilling to tell the truth or was unaware of the matter, then there was no need for her to continue talking to Evan.
