This is the second time Gao Wei has returned to Backlund. However, this time Gao Wei came back secretly. The last time he came to Backlund, the welcome signs held by members of the Aurora Society were a bit too scary, so Gao Wei didn't notify anyone this time and came over by train with a bag in hand.
The air quality in Backlund was as bad as ever. Smog gathered in the sky, blocking the sunlight and casting a shallow shadow over the city.
Gao Wei glanced in the direction of Tingen and saw Ince Zangwill who seemed to think he had escaped. He couldn't help but murmured:
"This guy is really brave... So many things have happened, and he is still writing..."
After that, he shook his head and put the matter behind him. After strengthening the surveillance on Tingen through the gaze remaining on Klein's back, Gao Wei walked towards the Aurora Society's station. At the same time, he had a little more admiration for some old guy who wanted to become a demigod——
When he went to mess with Tianzun in order to get Tianzun's Secret Puppet, it was still because there was a source of essence between the two. Although there was some symbolic difference between the source of the high-dimensional overlooking person and the Source Castle, but like this The gap is not to the extent that Tianzun can manipulate his high-dimensional overlookers at will. And Ince Zangwill, a Sequence Five who didn't even have divinity, actually had the courage to provoke a mythical creature. Who gave him the courage to arrange for the true Creator's heir?
Let’s exclude Adam first…
…
…
What a hammer. If Adam hadn't been quietly guiding him, would Ince Zangwill dare to arrange for the heirs of the evil god? Although his handling of certain matters appears to be quite confusing, Ince Zangwill, who holds an important position in the Church of the Night, is definitely not such a stupid person. So, what is the secret behind this matter? It’s worth studying in depth.
But this has nothing to do with him. Gao Wei will not go back and intervene before the incident in Tingen ends. The previous actions had made Adam a little alert. Fortunately, the goddess of the night helped him cover up, so that the paranoid Adam would not find out that he had come from the starry sky.
Gao Wei calmly got into the carriage and ordered the driver to walk in the direction of the Aurora Club. The last time he came to Backlund, he had arranged some "volunteer" jobs for Mr. A and Mr. Z who were stationed here, such as working at some humanitarian relief stations or some charity hospitals. There are some differences in the division of labor between the two. Mr. Z, who has been preaching in Tingen all year round, was placed among the people at the bottom, leading a group of secret prayers to practice the Lord's teachings.
Mr. A, who has a certain foundation in the middle-class nobility, was arranged by Gao Wei to become a wealthy Loen businessman of Intis origin. His "personality" is a gentleman who believes in the sun god but is good at giving. He wandered around various minor nobles, pretending to want to integrate into the Backlund aristocratic circle, just like the identity "Dwayne Dantès" that Klein would use in the future, to communicate with the upper class.
It is worth mentioning that Galway named Mr. A "Heathcliff St. Clair".
There is no other meaning, mainly because I want to see what kind of expression Klein will show when he meets the transformed Mr. A after coming to Backlund as Dwayne Dantès. Of course, if we talk about "creative ideas," Gao Wei's idea when naming Mr. A's identity is very similar to Klein's idea of naming his vest.
As for the "Abraham Family" defectors like Mr. . Moreover, they are not members of the Secret Prayer Path. The True Creator has limited influence on these defectors, so Gao Wei dare not entrust them with heavy responsibilities.
After all, if a person can defect once, he can defect a second time. Gao Wei doesn't believe in the character of these evil people. Will these people really be satisfied with the current sequence? No - in fact, if one day Gao Dimension becomes hostile to the Aurora Society and other righteous churches, and other churches tempt them with higher-sequence magic potions, I am afraid that the members of the Aurora Society in these "gate" pathways will themselves Run to the enemy, lick your face and hand over the secrets of the Aurora Society and Gao Wei.
Walking into the manor he had settled in before, Gao Wei was a little surprised to find that the place had become completely new: every room had been cleaned, and there was no trace of a cult stronghold at all. There are also many new faces walking in the corridor. Although they look a little malnourished and thin, their eyes are bright. There is light in their eyes.
Gao Wei listened carefully with his whispering ability enhanced by the "hermit monk" ability, and found that some of the people around him were secret prayers who had just drank the magic potion, but most of them were ordinary and not extraordinary. Characteristic person. Gao Wei squinted his eyes and used the ability of the Scholar Path Sequence 7 "Observer" to observe these new members selected by the Aurora Society. After getting the final results, Gao Wei paused and then walked towards them as if nothing had happened. the interior of the manor.
As Gao Wei's footsteps deepened, there were more "secret praying people" around, and these people obviously looked better, dressed more decently, and appeared more energetic. Gao Wei gently knocked on the door of the room he had previously designated as an "office" and heard a tired voice coming from it: "Please come in."
Gao Wei opened the door and saw "Dark Saint" Kesma, who was worrying about a lot of documents and scratching his head desperately - he was really scratching his head, and there were lumps of brains covered by him. It was dug out unconsciously, making this relatively young old man look a little evil and scary. Upon discovering that someone had come in, these brains squirmed quickly and burrowed back into Kesma's skull very consciously.
Gao Wei saw this scene, but he selectively ignored it. He has also seen more exciting scenes from the True Creator. When He was not fully awake, there was a roiling ocean of flesh and blood around him every day.
"This place is starting to take shape." Gao Wei sat on the sofa, looked at Kesma with a smile, and reminded: "However, I think it is better not to let so many believers gather in one place, it is too conspicuous. . If someone reports it, they will be easily blamed by the Storm Church."
"Of course we have considered this." Kesma took off the eyes he had previously used to camouflage, looked at Gao Wei, and said seriously to him: "Mr. A and Mr. Z are the two parties who are mainly developing new people in Backlund Parish. The person in charge of the believers. As of last week, Mr. A has developed a total of seven devout believers in Backlund's aristocratic circle, and they have now been completely transformed into secret believers. And Mr. Z, who developed in the slums, has currently developed The number of followers has exceeded 100, and Mr. Z himself has been promoted to Sequence Five and became a glorious 'shepherd'."
At this point, Kesma paused, grinned slightly, and continued to tell Gao Wei with a smile: "The method you mentioned before is very effective! According to Mr. A, the believers he developed in the aristocratic circle gave The prayer feedback he brings far exceeds the previous way of herding, and perhaps there will be another saint in the Aurora Society in the near future!"
"Then you need to prepare the Sequence 4 potion earlier, Kosma." Gao Wei said meaningfully: "In the future, we will have more and more saints - remember to ask A later to see what he wants. What kind of potion do you need? And according to our progress, Mr. Z will soon move towards the saint after fully understanding the acting method."
"I know, but it's a pity that we don't have the Black Knight's extraordinary characteristics in stock. I'm afraid he has to look for extraordinary creatures... We can get the Sequence Four of the 'Sun' pathway and the 'White Tower' pathway on hand. Alas, I wonder if Mr. A is willing to switch to other channels."
"There is no other way, materials are limited, just take it one step at a time and continue to expand."
"I know." Kesma's eyes flashed: "By then, we will be able to obtain more extraordinary characteristics. We have many adjacent pathways, and I think we will not lack the extraordinary characteristics of sequence four in the end. "
The meaning behind Kesma's words seemed to have a murderous intent.
"Speaking of which, the extraordinary characteristics of the 'Prophet' are reserved for me." Gao Wei suddenly spoke to him. Kesma was stunned for a moment: "Aren't you going to continue walking on the path of the Lord? Ah, I'm not questioning you, but, according to the Lord's care for you, it is very likely that you will be able to serve the Lord in the future. The angels around me..."
"The Lord will take back the power that the false gods took away." Gao Wei casually fooled him: "The purpose of choosing this path has the Lord's intention. Just help me keep the extraordinary characteristics. By the way, Before I return to Tingen, I plan to be promoted to 'Rose Bishop'. Do we still have the corresponding extraordinary materials in stock here?"
"Yes." Kesma nodded, suddenly envious of Gao Wei's promotion speed - is this the promotion speed of the God's Favored One?
"Then I know. I will go to Mr. A and Mr. Z later to check - oh, check their situation." Gao Wei said, before walking out the door, he casually mentioned: "The royal family is currently preparing For some new examination systems, you can see if you can donate a sum of money to the new technical university in my name, no, in the name of Mr. A, and see if you can insert Mr. A into a position in the school."
"I understand, is there anything else?"
"It's okay, just keep working hard. There's still a lot of work to do, and you can't rest yet."
Gao Wei gave an "encouragement" gesture to Kesma and disappeared at the end of the corridor. Kesma, on the other hand, watched blankly as Gao Wei disappeared, smiled bitterly, and continued to scratch his head while looking at the documents in front of him.
…
"Be careful here." Mr. A, wearing a well-dressed formal suit, walked slowly on the dock with a young nobleman. He frowned and looked at the sallow and thin workers, his face seemed a little dissatisfied.
"Can such workers really work well? Looking at their faces, they may not even have enough to eat." Mr. A asked the nobles next to him. The little noble next to him was startled, and smiled helplessly: "There is no way, in Backlund, almost all workers are treated like this. There are too many poor people in Backlund, far more than the factory owners. The amount we need, alas, there are countless people who cannot find a job, even if it is a job that only earns one sole a day."
"Those who can't find a job can only starve to death or pray for food relief, right?" Mr. A said in a heavy voice.
"That's true, but I'm ashamed. Even if those of us who believe in the Lord know the reason, we can't change everything." The little noble said helplessly: "If we rashly increase our wages, our chamber of commerce will be overtaken by others. Nobles and businessmen will be squeezed out. At that time, not only will our operating costs increase significantly, but the remaining purchasing channels will also shrink significantly because of this..."
"I understand." Mr. A waved his hand: "It's not your fault, but I have to think about it."
A pair of eyes opened behind Mr. A, staring at him coldly.
…
At night, Mr. A sat in his room, thinking silently. The candle flame flickered in front of him, illuminating Mr. A's pale and handsome face with faint light. His room was very simple. Although it was placed in the manor left by Gao Wei, there was only a bed, a table, a bookshelf, and a small cabinet in this room.
According to what Mr. A said, his master was burdened with suffering for all sentient beings, so how could he dare to enjoy himself? The packaging of external "personality" is a necessary consumption and cannot be saved; then Mr. A will try his best to reduce expenses in other aspects and devote himself to work wholeheartedly.
The servants who act as the front are all workers and female workers who can't find a job. The daily food is reduced to the simplest possible, but others cannot see that "Mr. Heathcliff"'s life will appear to be poor. Mr. Z leads the Lord’s lambs to strive for profits at the bottom, while Mr. A tries his best to package himself so that he can become a “shepherd” who shepherds the Lord’s sheep.
Just today, he saw his powerlessness again. Those people are just like themselves before being saved by the Lord. They cannot even maintain their own lives without relying on others. The Lord's teachings say that all living beings are His herd, and that the Lord's divinity is always present in everyone's body... But why is there so much oppression and bullying in this world?
For the first time, Mr. A felt helpless hatred. It seemed that for the first time as "himself", he understood why he was mainly the enemy of the Seven Gods.
Mr. A is crazy, but he is not stupid; if the lamb is powerless, the shepherd will be punished.
He rubbed the books in front of him with his hands and remained silent for a long time.
After a long time, Mr. A let out a long sigh.
