Cornelius thought for a while, picked up a note, wrote a few lines on it, and handed it to Aaron: "I only know a secret party, and this is the way to enter... Well, it doesn't need to be
Recommended, as long as you enter, you are a guest. Of course... I don’t need to tell you the dangers, right?"
"Thank you for your generosity."
Aaron stood up and put on his hat: "Then...I'll take my leave."
"Aaron...my friend..."
Bruce stood up and hugged Aaron hard, a little reluctantly.
"The separation is just for the next reunion. Don't be too sad. When I settle down, I will write to you with my contact information."
Aaron walked out of the watch shop and disappeared into the vast sea of people, but his heart suddenly felt relaxed.
'Well, I finally let go of that burden.'
He turned around and walked into a remote and deserted alley. He took off his coat, threw it into the 'carnivore's bag', and quickly changed his outfit.
Immediately, Aaron took out a piece of human skin and put it on his face.
When the hands stroking his cheeks were put down, his face had become completely different from before - deep features, thin lips, and a pair of burgundy eyes that seemed to contain the vitality and vitality of a young man, swaying in the light.
radiant.
The next moment, Aaron took out some materials and made a simple 'anti-divination' ritual for himself.
After finally tossing a coin and confirming that it was safe, he slowly walked out of the street from the other end of the alley and merged into the crowd.
Only then did Aaron let out a long breath.
The previous portrait of ‘Mother Nature’ really scared him.
'Is that... Lin and Olivia? Or is it a brand new existence born after the fusion? Judging from Cornely's description, he is in poor condition and seems to have a split personality?'
'How much price did a mortal pay to become a hidden existence? How much madness has been accumulated?'
Even though he is a 'spirit of vanity', he is worshiped by former believers as the authority to control reason and salvation.
Aaron didn't have the slightest confidence in redeeming the madness of a Si Sui-level man.
He sighed softly, feeling the strangeness of the 'power of the secret source'.
'I even suspect that... there is a complete mysterious system in the 'Secret Source', and it is just being revived by my hands...'
'Perhaps... one day in the future...'
The light in Aaron's eyes flickered, and finally turned into a hint of determination.
…
Pulmouth is very large. In addition to the Queen's Quarter where Mithraic Palace and the Houses of Parliament are located, there are seven districts including Green George, Black Gold, Jeston, Shilling, Barking Darling, Lower City, and the Waste City.
Among them, the Queen's District is the political center of Inves and is home to a large number of noble mansions. The Black Gold District and Barking Darling District are both financial centers and residential areas for wealthy businessmen.
Xiling District is a dock area with a large number of docks and warehouses.
The worst public security areas are the Xiacheng District and the Abandoned City District, which are adjacent to factories and have the worst living conditions. Gangs are rampant and breed countless crimes.
In the mysterious world, it is believed that besides the above-mentioned eight districts, there is another area that exists in the shadow of Pulmouth and is controlled by extraordinary people. Its name is the Black Queen District!
In the slums of Xiacheng District, almost everyone's desire is to make money! Earn enough money and move to an upper-level area with better security and a more beautiful environment.
Class and opposition have never been so obvious, so... despairing!
Jeston District.
Inside Maoyan Cafe.
Aaron chose a seat by the window and ordered hot cocoa and cake.
As an area where the middle class gathers, the Jetson District does not have the vagrants and beggars that can be seen everywhere like the downtown area, nor does it have the brightly dressed gentlemen and ladies that can be seen everywhere like the Queen and Black Gold District.
The pedestrians on the streets here are mainly middle-class families, and their clothes tend to be fashionable in the upper class, but also have a bit of a free and unrestrained atmosphere.
He took a sip of coffee and picked up the newspaper provided by the cafe: "Sodom royal family members visit Tissago..."
"The Romantic City of Romance is about to host the Sixth World Art Fair..."
"As expected of Palmouth, the news is international."
Sodom is the royal surname of Inves. The full name of the Sun King in history should be Arthur Sodom!
The current king changed his name after ascending the throne and called himself - 'Arthur VI'!
There was a lot of news in the newspapers. Through reading, Aaron could vaguely feel a corner of the world - competition and integration, darkness but greatness, and civilization was constantly advancing and developing.
'To put it bluntly... I also have half of the credit for this... Well, although half of my credit is due to many other occultists pretending to be others and promoting scientific development in my name...'
"I definitely don't lack the influence that the 'Melting Pot' needs to at least leave a distinct mark on the secret history..."
'Then, when you are promoted, you will need a lot of viewers...'
These are long-term plans.
While reading the newspaper and drinking cocoa, Aaron made a short-term plan: "First of all... find a place to live. It can't be too good. It's not a too good place. The management and inspection are very high. I don't have any credible false identity certificate..."
"Then, enter the local circle of Beyonders and look for clues about organizations like the 'Brotherhood of Craftsmen'. Well, the 'Sunset School' is also fine. You can try to join... not to gain knowledge and promotion, just to know
Their high-level dynamics... it would be even better if we could find one or two lunatics who hope to become the vessel for the coming of Dawn and even other Sisui."
"Speaking of which... the General Bureau of Investigation is not something that cannot be considered. From the looks of it, Jacob has many high-level Yao spells and the 'Spear of the Sun King' in his hands, which means there must be corresponding channels..."
This is something that makes Aaron a little confused.
After all, judging from the hidden history obtained from the town of Yharnam, the Kingdom of Inves should have completely broken with the Dawn.
It would be too much to say that those charms were treasures from the previous honeymoon period.
That’s why Aaron felt that the relationship between the royal family of Sodom and Si Sui’s Dawn was very subtle.
‘It doesn’t have to be ‘Breaking Dawn’, maybe the Inves Kingdom later gained support from other ‘Yao’ Si Sui? For example, ‘The Unmelting Ice One’?’
'Well, I see that in the Investigation Bureau, the path of extraordinary beings chosen by those investigators... focuses on shadow, darkness, underworld, and light... the 'scavenger' who clears memories is obviously the path of 'shadow', and the feeling has been inherited.
The Fabry Dynasty has a lot of mystical knowledge, but the path at the top is more complicated... Is that Sixtus supposed to be the Extraordinary One of the 'Tower'?'
‘His legacy of the fifth element is of little use to me now, and it may cause imbalance in the promotion ceremony. However, through him, we may be able to get clues to the inhuman existence of the ‘Tower’…’
