Chapter 6
Seeing this broken hand, Arthur immediately recognized what it symbolized.
This is a letter.
A living curse letter!
The "Binded God" who comes from the Rose School's belief, Tolzner, the angel king of the "alien" path, survived from the ancient Second Age of Darkness to the present.
If the information is correct, this person is now under the suppression of his person's personality and is eroded by the starry sky, the old "Mother Tree of Desire" at the top of this path, and gradually becomes a puppet and medium for conveying power.
This unexpected trouble appears in Mist City. With Arthur's current state of being close to birth, he should be able to feel some negative emotions of humanity.
For example, fear, and panic.
But no, he did not have this emotion, the pleasure that he could only feel when he looked through Rossell's life.
In the self-sealed secret room deep in the mist city, the dazzling crystal tree collapsed and shattered, and the twisted shadows dripped and melted, revealing the container controlled by Arthur. The red flame flowed out from the broken lantern hanging around his waist. When the flames covered his whole body, Arthur appeared directly in front of Modo and the guard knight.
When the flames dissipated, the guard knight put down his sword and knelt on one knee. The parts of the silver-white armor collided, making a strange sound that disturbed the mind.
Raise his hand to stop the puppet from saluting, ignoring Modo, who is more humble.
Arthur stretched out his palm that appeared in the dark blue and held the illusory broken hand.
The secret information has been obtained by Arthur.
On the strange broken hand she held, the blood-stained thorns were tightened fiercely, causing the layers of tangled strips to scatter into dust as if they were weathered. The already dry palm was completely swallowed by the evil thorns with cold light. The blood-colored scarlet squeezed out of the dark green and dissipated, and then struggled until a blood-worn rose bloomed with difficulty.
A red rose with a physical body.
A cursed flower that condenses the most evil and endless filth in the world, is enough to curse and kill angels.
This is an accompanying thank you gift.
The reason why it will appear is simple, Arthur's identity is exposed.
It is sooner or later to expose it when you are so close to the belief of the "Mother Tree of Desire".
When he had to move to the Southern Continent in a mess, he was ready.
But the development of things was a bit beyond expectations.
The believers of the "Mother Tree of Desire" discovered the power of "order" of unknown origin, which was the trace left by Arthur when he relied on the imprint of "non-the-world" and borrowed the authority of "chaotic".
He was unable to be born smoothly and had to rely on external forces for the time being, but he could not completely clear the beginning and end.
Developed at this pace, the Mist City will soon usher in the encirclement of the entire "Rose School".
A change happened.
Tolzner, the "Binded God" who should have completely become a faith transit station, determined the attitude of the "Mother Tree of Desire" towards Arthur, secretly intercepted the prayers of believers, and in turn used the beacons left by Arthur to pass on the oracle.
He wants to make a deal with Arthur.
When the "Rose School" was completely controlled by the "Mother Tree of Desire" and His believers had to escape from the Southern Continent, they could borrow from the Mist City.
In exchange, He could buy Arthur for at least 20 years.
During this period, the "Mother Tree of Desire" would not receive news from his believers, and the "Rose School" would not come to cause trouble for the Mist City.
Very cost-effective.
Based on Arthur's understanding of the authority of "desire", the fall of Toronzner was probably a big gamble.
In the Quaternary, even one of the first three pillars of "Fallen Moon" could only erode the sequence 1 of "primitive moon" as the incarnation of the gods. Why can the "Mother Tree of Desire" erode the "Dark Side of the Universe" with two sequence 1 and uniqueness, and also the sequence 0 "Dark Side of the Universe" that can control the "demon" path.
The "devil" path is the concept of desire itself, sin and evil, and it is normal that it will be controlled by the authority of "desire".
But the "exotic" path is the controller of the concept of desire. Tolzner even takes himself as a cage and bears all the sins in the world, which is in opposition to the reverse symbol of "The Mother Tree of Desire" that sinks all the world into the abyss of desire.
He had enough power to fight the erosion of the past to protect himself.
But the result is still a fall.
This is very interesting.
"hey-hey……"
Arthur played with the red rose branches in his hand and chuckled, and his body sat back casually.
The guard knight kneeling on one knee played the sound of silver armor, and his body changed rapidly. He assembled into a silver throne under Arthur, scattering colorful rainbow light, solemn and gorgeous.
Arthur said in a slightly frivolous voice as his fingertips swam over the silver armrest:
"Let's talk, what explanation does Tolzner have?"
When Modo heard that he believed in the gods and was called directly by someone, his mood fluctuated, but the responsibility of carrying the oracle finally overwhelmed his selfish desires. After a little silence, he replied softly:
"The traces of 'order' you left are not the only ones who discovered that the Ruen military has taken action. Their actions cannot be hidden from the Spirit Cult. The church of knowledge hidden behind the local tribes and the rebels. Intis and the Fsak forces will also wait for an opportunity to act. If necessary, their subordinates can mobilize the resources of the organization to serve you."
Gifts, transactions, borrowing people.
Should we say that we are worthy of being the ancient god who survived from the Second Age to the present?
It seems friendly, but it hides murderous intentions.
The terrible curse object that can curse angels is to test Arthur's person, because such extremely dangerous extraordinary items must at least be angels in Sequence 2 to hold them normally;
The transaction that lowers his attitude and deliberately shows weakness is to confirm Arthur's attitude towards the "Mother Tree of Desire". If it is hostile, without any loss, it will not miss the opportunity to cause trouble to the other party. If not, it can further confirm Arthur's specialness, which can be used as an important bargaining chip for layout if necessary;
In the end, even subordinates who are not so optimistic are willing to lend them out, which is to hit the bottom.
If Arthur could not even deal with these troubles, Tolzner would not only not become his collaborator, but would also turn into a vicious werewolf to swallow him, digest him, and turn him into a trump card to ultimately defeat the "Mother Tree of Desire".
When he arrogantly sent out the badge of chaos as a warning beacon, he finally underestimated the gods on earth.
Arthur, who figured out the key, shook his head helplessly and stretched out his hand. Modo, who was crawling on the ground, was forcibly raised up and looked up. The contract mark that had disappeared between her eyebrows reappeared. As Arthur grabbed it from the air, it turned into a twisted black light, and turned back into the form of a black iron badge and fell into his hands.
Ignoring the other party's slightly puzzled expression, Arthur asked with a smile:
"How was the little guy I chose?"
While asking, Modo's shackles disappeared. She knelt on the ground again as if nothing had happened and replied:
"Promotion Sequence 6 failed, died."
Hearing this result, Arthur was a little disappointed and let the messy badge flip back and forth in his hand, and after a while he continued:
"Not everyone can be the knights of Mist City. Go back and tell Tolzner that I have agreed to the transaction. You are allowed to chant the name of Mist City on the day of the agreement."
After making a decision, Arthur was too lazy to continue to negotiate with Modo, and directly mobilized the "rules" of Mist City, sent the other party back, and then walked out of the Knights' headquarters on his own.
On the steps outside the door, a half-person-tall brown capuchin monkey was squatting.
Sensing Arthur's appearance, the capuchin monkey rushed over happily and squeaked around him. The unreasonable cartoon-like round eyes and big mouth, coupled with the metal spring behind it, all meant that this was also an alchemy puppet.
When he looked at the monkey, he knew how to scream. He didn't know how to speak for a long time. Arthur kicked him out in anger and said:
"Caiser, how many times have you said that you are not a monkey. Don't always learn from monkeys to speak to me!"
Caesar, who was kicked in front of him, rolled around Arthur in a funny way, finally rolled back to his feet, rolled and jumped exaggeratedly and grimaced and said:
"Hehehe, Master, don't be angry. Caesar hasn't seen Master for a long time, so he's so happy."
Caesar spoke and danced, and from time to time he took out ribbons, rattles, balloons and other objects from his mouth to liven up the atmosphere.
Like an excellent court clown.
Although it seems a bit funny, Caesar is the best creation of Arthur, a semi-amate "craftsman", and the "Arbitrator" sequence 5 "Punishment Knight" has always managed the Mist City for him.
Compared with the many alchemy puppets in the city, it should be classified as dangerous seals with the characteristics of living.
Also because of this characteristic, it is the most loyal subject to Arthur in the world.
This is the embodiment of the concept of "domination" of core authority through the "arbitrator" pathway.
At the moment when the "Son of Chaos" was sealed, the "source of chaos" behind Arthur is the second order symbol of "dominate" authority.
But substitutes are substitutes after all. As long as he has not yet obtained the uniqueness of this path, he will never be able to cross the dividing line of the half-human and half-god, which is the half-human and half-god.
He poked out his hand and stroked Caesar's soft little head, so that the cheerful little monkey's face would be peaceful with happiness.
Noting that Caesar's originally erect curly tail was already lazily lying on the ground, he knew that such a little monkey had an IQ and was most suitable for arranging work.
Arthur, who nodded secretly, said:
"There may be troubles to come to the door next. The rule of 'no entry' can easily make things worse. I want to go outside to find parts that can make the Misty City mysteriously transfer or secret. You have to restrict residents from going out for the time being, be optimistic about the undead, and don't let them always disturb humans; farmers don't have to rush to farm, and improve grain seeds with scholars first; keep a close eye on the progress of the art workshop, that is the key to the rapid expansion of Misty City..."
After talking about more than a dozen precautions, he stopped when he found that Caesar's tail was active again.
Facing the little monkey whose patience is about to be exhausted, the work efficiency will only be folded in half.
Arthur, who had become accustomed to it, shook his head helplessly and asked:
"Did you remember them all?"
Hearing the ending words, Caesar's face burst into an exaggerated smile, dancing happily, and saying with joy:
"I know, I know, the master is going to take a big adventure. Caesar wants to keep an eye on the house, hehehe!"
"Forehead……"
Hearing this, Arthur fell into silence.
That said...it seems to be true.
Compared with Caesar, the steward of the Mist City, who is always sleeping and playing, it is indeed, maybe it is a bit redundant...
