Chapter 360 Taking charge of the 'Aurora Society'?
Evan raised his chin slightly at the slightly sour words of "The Saint of Mysteries" Butis, smiled arrogantly and provocatively, and remained silent, as if to say, "Isn't this what should be done?"
This smug look not only angered Butis, but also made Evan's two former bosses want to hit him.
Those present were not ordinary people, and since Evan hadn't deliberately used his "Provocation" technique, they managed to restrain themselves and took a deep breath before saying:
"We've come to see you today for two reasons. One is to find out about the movements of the Augustus family and the three false god churches."
On the other hand, I wanted to discuss some internal matters of the Aurora Club with you.
Finally, it was Mr. A, who had already advanced through the pathway to become the Solar Path Sequence 4 "The One Without Darkness," who revealed the reason why they had secretly met with Evan that night.
Before coming, Evan had some idea of the purpose of this meeting, so he was not surprised and began to talk about the information he knew.
"Overall, we have basically achieved the goals we wanted to achieve."
The three false god churches now know about George III's underhanded dealings and collusion with the witch cult, but they are currently unable to openly turn against him due to a lack of evidence.
The three major false god churches have now focused their attention on Backlund, so the secret of the Lord's coming to Tingen should not be revealed.
We bought the Lord time to recover!
Upon learning from Evan that their efforts during this period had not been in vain, Mr. A, Butis, and even the taciturn Dark Saint—Kexma—couldn't help but reveal a slight smile.
They feel genuinely happy as long as they can help the true Creator.
"Very good. In this way, the Kingdom of Rune will be in a dog-eat-dog situation from now on, and the Aurora Society can take this opportunity to quickly develop at the grassroots level and spread the faith of the Lord."
Mr. A was very satisfied with the current situation and regarded Evan as a treasure.
He had tried his best in the past, but whether it was preaching or paving the way for the coming of the true Creator, he had not achieved much. However, Evan had only taken over his work for a few months and had already made achievements that far exceeded his decades of accomplishments.
This also made Mr. A understand why the Lord valued Evan, who had not been a member of the Church for long, so much and accepted him as a follower.
Ultimately, it is God's discerning eye that recognizes people!
Mr. A felt confident that he could entrust the affairs of the Northern Continent to Evan along with the others.
"You must have used the plague in the East District to complete the 'Witch of Despair' ascension ritual, so is the main ingredient of your potion the extraordinary property of the 'Nightingale of Despair'?"
The Dark Saint, Kesma, has also been busy these past few days, trying to find out what's behind the Great Uprising in Backlund through various channels.
The deaths of "Despair Nightingale" and the Witch of a Hundred could not be kept from him. Judging from the fact that Evan discovered the "hidden space" created by Butis as soon as she entered, he was quite certain that Evan was definitely not just "Iron-Blooded Knight", but had completed the ritual and become a demigod-level witch - "Despair Witch".
Sequence 4 demigods are already among the most important figures in the Extraordinary World, and the life or death of any one of them is the focus of attention for various forces.
The whereabouts of the extraordinary characteristics of the corresponding demigods are also of paramount importance for all parties to gather intelligence on.
So, where did Evan's main materials for advancement come from, given that Aurora doesn't have any special characteristics?
The Dark Saint naturally thought of the "Desperate Nightingale" who had just been killed, and considering the time when Evan was promoted, the answer was self-evident.
Evan knew that Aurora would know about his role in this great riot, and that there were many things he couldn't hide from them, so he openly admitted it:
"That's right. I used this great riot to kill 'Despair Nightingale,' and used the potion she concocted with her extraordinary properties to complete my ascension. Do you know who killed the White Witch?"
"The Saint of Mysteries," Butis, who was standing to the side, couldn't wait to ask as well.
This is a question that many people are concerned about. The fall of the White Witch in Backlund has shaken many secret organizations.
Even the most difficult witches to kill are trapped in Backlund. Now, who dares to say that they can move freely in Backlund without fear of being hunted down?
Even Butis himself now walks around Backlund more cautiously than before.
After all, you only have one life, and once it's gone, it's truly gone.
After Butis asked this question, both the Dark Saint and Mr. A looked at Evan hopefully, wanting to get an answer from him.
The reason they felt they could get the answer from Evan was because many people were now linking the deaths of the White Witch and the Nightingale of Despair to a conspiracy against the Witch Cult.
Otherwise, why would it be such a coincidence that two demigod-level witches would perish on the same night?
So the Dark Saints, unable to find the answer, clung to a sliver of hope that they might find some clues from Evan.
But how could Evan possibly reveal Robert's presence in front of them? So he shrugged and said:
"How could I possibly have any relevant clues? If anyone knows the truth, I think it should be Archbishop Simon of the Storm False God Church."
The Witch of a Hundred's actions that night were clearly intended to prevent him from going to the East District.
He later confirmed that the White Witch had intervened, so he must have witnessed her death and knew the whole truth.
The Dark Saint and Mr. A exchanged a glance and could only sigh helplessly.
However, before they could speak again, Evan gave them an unexpected piece of news.
"On the night of the great riot, not only the Nightingale of Despair and the White Witch died, but also George III's younger brother and his right-hand man, Prince Grove."
Mr. A and the Dark Saint suddenly looked at Evan, their eyes wide open, their faces filled with disbelief.
As old rivals, they certainly knew that Prince Grove had successfully become a "Chaos Hunter," a higher rank than everyone present.
Unexpectedly, he also died on the night of the riot, and there has been no news of him since.
Is this real?
The Dark Saint's breathing quickened as he asked in disbelief,
He knew that Evan wouldn't make things up, but he still couldn't help but question it.
This also shows the level of secrecy the royal family maintained regarding this matter; to this day, the outside world remains completely unaware of it.
"The one who killed Prince Grove was the mysterious empress who had already ascended to become an angel."
It is said that he did it in front of Archbishop Anthony of the Church of the Night False God.
Actually, this matter can't be kept secret for long. Even if I don't say it today, you should see the relevant obituary in the newspaper in a couple of days.
Upon hearing the title "Mysterious Queen," the faces of both the Dark Saint and Mr. A and Butis fell.
Because the "Mysterious Queen" Bernadette had killed the vessel of the true creator, Lanluus, right in front of the Aurora Society, which was also a great humiliation for the Aurora Society.
"Are you saying this woman has been promoted to angel? Is that information accurate?"
Mr. A was the first to notice the change in how Evan addressed him.
Both Butis and the Dark Saint were shaken. This news was even more shocking than the death of the White Witch and the fall of Prince Grove.
After all, those are angels! In ancient times, this was called "following the gods"!
"This news is absolutely true!"
Evan knew better than anyone whether Bernadette was an angel or not, so he spoke with exceptional confidence!
"Perhaps, perhaps that's why that woman suddenly appeared and caused the descent of the evil master!"
Mr. A's voice wasn't loud, and he didn't say much, but his meaning was clear: Bernadette became an angel by defeating Lanluus and stepping on the vessel of the true creator.
This fact made the faces of the three Aurora Society demigods turn extremely dark.
Evan, pretending to grit his teeth but still trying his best to remain calm, said:
"Although many people outside connect the deaths of the two witches, you should know that I killed Despair Nightingale only for her extraordinary characteristics, and had no other motives."
I actually think that the death of the White Witch is related to the death of Prince Grove, and that the two events were linked.
In fact, if we set aside the death of the Nightingale of Despair and look at it from a different angle, it becomes clear that the deaths of these two people were actually caused by someone deliberately disrupting the cooperation between the Augustus family and the Witch Cult.
Whether it's the Augustus family or the Witch Cult, after this incident, their mutual trust will decrease, and their rhythm of doing things will be disrupted.
In some ways, it's even better than we planned!
Evan's words caused the three demigods to fall into deep thought. They realized that, as Evan said, setting aside the matter of the Nightingale of Despair offered a different perspective.
"Are you saying that there's a group of people behind the mysterious empress targeting the Augustus family?"
The "Mysterious Saint" Butis reacted the fastest and somewhat understood what Evan was trying to say.
Evan nodded quickly and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He said all this in order to subtly persuade the Aurora Club members not to cause trouble for Bernadette.
Going to cause trouble for Bernadette would not only cause unnecessary internal strife, but would also benefit George III and the Witch Cult.
Prince Grove's death cannot be kept secret for long; the Aurora Society will find out sooner or later, and then Bernadette's ascension to angel will certainly be impossible to hide either.
The Aurora Society, these devout fanatics, are not stupid at all, even though they are fanatical. If they do a little calculation, they will realize that her rise to power and the death of Lannus are definitely related. At that time, it is hard to guarantee that they will not lose their temper and do anything to settle scores with Bernadette.
To avoid this situation, Evan needs to clear the mines in advance, since there are angels in the Aurora Society as well.
"I will personally report this matter to His Excellency the 'Angel of the Holy Word' in a moment and ask him to make a decision."
The mysterious queen has ascended to the rank of angel; she is beyond our capabilities.
The Dark Saint spoke cautiously, glancing at his colleagues, especially Mr. A's reactions.
Neither Mr. A nor "The Saint of Mystery" Butis objected to the Dark Saint's words and tacitly agreed with his opinion.
This allowed the Dark Saint to secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
Although everyone knew that temporarily letting go of the mysterious queen and her "Elemental Dawn" was the wisest choice, no one present dared to say it out loud.
After all, if you are rational and objective, but the people around you are not calm and directly accuse you of being unfaithful to God, no one can withstand that.
Therefore, the best way to handle this matter is to simply pass it on to higher-ups and let them deal with it.
Moreover, what the Dark Saint said was true; the Mysterious Queen had become an angel, and they were simply no longer capable of dealing with or intervening in her affairs.
"What did you mean by asking me to come here to discuss internal matters of the Aurora Club?"
Seeing that the matter had finally been put aside, Evan quickly changed the subject.
"Actually, the reason we met with you today is not only to get some information from you, but also to hand over the affairs we have to you at the behest of the angel of the 'Holy Word'."
From now on, you will be in charge of most of the Aurora Society's affairs in the Northern Continent, as we will all be heading to the Southern Continent.
Mr. A, beaming with joy, told Evan some earth-shattering news.
"What? You're going to hand over the Aurora Society's affairs in the Northern Continent to me? You're going to the Southern Continent? Why? Is this a divine decree from the Lord?"
Evan never expected things to turn out this way, so he was stammering.
However, he quickly calmed down and remembered that the true creator's avatar, Grisha, had once told him about going to the Southern Continent.
Could it be that Grisha did something in the Southern Continent that requires a large number of people?
"We're not entirely sure either; all of this was ordered by His Excellency the 'Angel of the Holy Word.'"
Although handing over their responsibilities to Evan seemed like a loss of power, Mr. A and his colleagues didn't care at all; their faces were full of excitement.
Evan's mind raced, but due to the limited information he had, he couldn't analyze anything and could only frown and say:
"Although I have been promoted to demigod, I am not as convenient as Mr. Butis. How could I possibly manage such a large organization?"
"Why don't you tell Lord 'Holy Word Angel' for me to choose someone else?"
Boutis was very unhappy when he heard this, after all, being able to go to the Southern Continent and directly serve the Lord was the highest honor pursued by every member of the Aurora Society.
Now that Evan actually wanted to trap him in the Northern Continent, he immediately touched a nerve and retorted:
"The Aurora Society's main sphere of influence is only half of the Northern Continent, mainly consisting of the Kingdom of Feneport and the Fusak Empire, apart from the Kingdom of Rune.
You are still the deputy director of MI9, and you are also remotely controlling the intelligence organization of the Kingdom of Rune in the Fusak Empire. With a little more effort, there is nothing you cannot manage.
"This was said personally by 'The Angel of the Holy Word,' so don't try to deny it!"
