The basement of Blackthorn Security Company in Tingen City.
Walking on the dark road, the oncoming wind brought a bit of chill to Wu Nai's bones. He glanced at the tense Klein next to him and felt a little more expectant in the calmness.
finally come......
After nearly two months, during which time several extraordinary cases were handled, and many clues about the Aurora Society and the conceived child of the evil god, Megoose, were discovered.
The two of them submitted an application to advance to Sequence Eight together. This astonishing speed of digestion of potions immediately attracted the attention of the higher-ups of the Church of the Night Goddess.
Then the church sent a notice that someone would be sent to investigate, so the two of them were asked to wait for now.
Until just now, Dunn Smith came over personally to inform the two of them that they could go to the alchemy room where the potion was prepared to meet the investigators.
Once they pass the examination, Wu Nai and Klein will immediately receive the potion to advance to sequence eight.
But what Wu Nai is most looking forward to is not the Sequence 8 potion. He already has the extraordinary characteristics of the Joker and is not that eager for the Sequence 8 potion.
What he really expected was that the people who came for the examination must have high-level extraordinary characteristics that could be breathed.
After all, the undercurrents in Tingen City are raging now, and the problem of the Evil God's descendants and the Aurora Society needs to be solved. The people who come here should not be weak. They have either reached the level of demigods or possess powerful sealed items.
With a little contact, I should be able to obtain the extraordinary characteristics of the [Sleepless One] path. If I delay it long enough, I can even obtain all the extraordinary characteristics of the other party... Just when Wu Nai's thoughts flashed across his mind
, Dunn Smith on the side straightened his collar and said in a low voice:
"The person in charge of this examination is Creste Sesima, one of the nine senior deacons of the Nighthawks. The Holy Church is very satisfied with your recent performance and attaches great importance to your upcoming promotion to the eighth sequence."
Sure enough, it was him... A flash of understanding flashed across Wu Nai's eyes.
The thirteen archbishops and nine senior deacons are the upper echelons of the church in the usual sense.
These twenty-two gentlemen and ladies are completely equal in terms of status. They only follow the oracle of the goddess of the night and are only responsible to the Pope.
In the original destiny trajectory, it was this Sequence Five senior deacon who reviewed Klein, and it was he who stripped away the true Creator divinity from Lanervus.
In the supernatural world, his title is "Sword of the Goddess". Because he holds a sacred object, he can fight as well as a demigod.
It seems that my extraordinary characteristics will fall on that sealed object...
"I have just talked with him, and his attitude is very kind." Dunn continued to add, implying that the two of them did not need to worry.
Wu Nai nodded indifferently. Although his spirituality had reached Sequence Six and he had committed many crimes in Tingen, he was an innocent person and handled everything cleanly. He would kill those who deserved to be burned and those who deserved to be burned.
, leaving no trace at all.
Therefore, no matter who comes, they are purely bringing extraordinary characteristics.
After parting ways with Dunn, the two turned left at the intersection and soon saw the secret door illuminated by elegant gas lamps. They saw that the long tables inside had been removed, leaving the central part empty.
There are two classical armchairs placed there, standing opposite each other, less than one meter apart.
Sitting on the chair facing the door was a man in his thirties, wearing a black trench coat and a white shirt.
His golden brown hair was shaved very short, his dark green eyes were like a moonless lake in the middle of the night, and the collars of his shirt and windbreaker were raised high, hiding his entire chin in the shadows.
"Hello, Your Excellency Sesima..."
"Messiah Behrens, Klein Moretti, hello, unfortunately this process needs to be done one by one, so who of you will come first?"
Crestel Sesima put her right leg on her left leg, leaned back leisurely on the chair, pointed to the high-backed chair opposite and asked.
"I'll go first."
Wu Nai glanced at Klein, who nodded indifferently, retreated out of the door, and closed the secret door to create a sufficiently private space for the two people inside.
After Wu Nai sat down opposite Crested, he immediately noticed a suitcase made of silver-white metal placed at his feet, similar in size, length and width to a violin case.
With this suitcase as the center, psychic energy and vague mysteries radiate in all directions.
"Hello, Mr. Messiah, you have an enviable appearance..."
Crested looked at this young man with excellent facial features and temperament. He raised his right index finger, put it against his nostril, and said slowly: "Now I want to test your mastery of potions.
Question?"
"certainly."
Wu Nai had made sufficient preparations before this and dealt with Crested calmly.
The surrounding gas lights suddenly dimmed, and the rich darkness swallowed up everything, silently infecting Wu Nai's spirit, intending to make him feel tired.
In this process, Wu Nai accurately grasped his own state and made various common sense reactions.
"Very good, your mastery of potions has reached an excellent level. Now according to the regulations of the church, you need to lay your hands on the holy objects and swear to the goddess not to tell others about the content of our conversation."
After taking back his ability, Crestel calmly warned him.
Isn't it just to block the news of "acting method"? I understand, but finally it's the part I'm most looking forward to... Wu Nai's eyes followed Crestel's movements and fell to his feet.
He raised his right hand and pressed it down. The spiritual blockade on the surface of the piano-like silver-white box suddenly collapsed, and the aura of the holy object hidden in it could no longer be controlled, pouring out like a tide.
The power of the dark night rules everything in an instant.
As he breathed, lines of twisted and crazy symbols passed before Wu Nai's eyes, and he could clearly feel that he was closer to the darkness around him.
Immediately after the core of the Nighthawks, Crestel Sesima, one of the nine senior deacons, opened the box with a "pop" sound, revealing the pure white bone sword inside.
This bone sword quietly exudes pure white luster, like the bright moon in the sky in the middle of the night. It looks flawless on the surface, but in fact it is densely covered with layers of symbols and logos, just like the skirt of the goddess of the night. It is so beautiful.
Wu Nai stepped forward and bent down, stretched out his right hand to hold the holy sword, and greedily smelled the night breath permeating it.
Then, he heard Crestel say in a deep voice: "You read after me..."
"OK."
Wu Nai followed the senior deacon and read sentence by sentence in Hermes:
"You are the goddess of night, nobler than the starry sky and longer than eternity;"
"It is the Crimson Mother, the Hidden Mother;"
"Queen of misfortune and fear, lord of sleep and silence."
"I swear to you by my true name and my spirit."
"I, Messiah Behrens, from now on..."
Before the oath was finished, Wu Nai felt that he had established a subtle and obscure connection with an existence in the infinite distance, and entered a state of half-dream and half-awake.
This feeling couldn't be that one coming... His heart couldn't help but jump.
Sure enough, the next moment Wu Nai saw an endless darkness in front of his "eyes", and clumps of night herbs and deep sleep flowers grew at his feet.
They exude a faint fragrance that is so quiet, as if even breathing would disturb these relatives of the dark night.
A wry smile appeared at the corner of Wu Nai's lips. He sighed, and his posture changed from bending down and half-kneeling to standing upright.
A figure walked from the depths of darkness.
This world made up of dreams and stars clearly has no distinction between the sky and the earth, but those who come are like the red moon and stars hanging in the sky forever.
He wore a layered but not complicated long black dress, dotted with countless bright stars, as if the vast starry sky was draped around his body.
His face was vague and difficult for ordinary people to see clearly, but Wu Nai happened to be able to clearly see the goddess's incomparably beautiful true face with a pair of eyes that contained the uniqueness of the hermit.
There are two arms between its ribs and waist, and the surface is covered with short black hair. In its six hands, two hold a heavy black scythe, and two hands hold a round of crimson "
Moon", leaving two hands empty.
"First meeting, hello to the great being who fell from the starry sky."
He spoke softly, and his voice was like a lullaby at night, able to soothe all moods.
Huh...Wu Nai couldn't help but take a deep breath, smell the refreshing fragrance of the goddess's body, and saluted like a gentleman: "It's an honor to meet you, beautiful goddess, Ms. Amanysis.
, I thought my actions were secret enough, but I didn’t expect that I still didn’t escape your eyes.”

...
As he spoke, lines of twisted and crazy symbols passed before Wu Nai's eyes, which made him feel happy.
Although he did not expect the goddess of the night to arrive at this moment, as a magician who is always prepared, Wu Nai has secretly communicated with the god-level giant Odin.
On the World Tree that holds up the nine realms, the invincible Spear of Destiny is aimed at this illusory land from a distance.
As long as there is a slight movement, the barrier of time and space can be torn apart and come in person.
"With all due respect, your previous behavior of devouring the [Hidden Sage] and provoking the [True Creator] and the [Eternal Scorching Sun] cannot be called secret..."
The goddess of the night said with a slight smile: "Up to this moment, your war spear is still like the scorching sun hanging in the sky, showing your existence in an extremely domineering manner."
"As we all know, the beauty of the goddess Amanysis is completely proportional to her power. Your arrival makes me wary..."
Wu Nai said this sentence in English. The moment his words fell, the expression of "surprise" flashed across the beautiful face of the goddess of the night for the first time.
After a long time, he said faintly: "I didn't expect you to be the same...where are you from? [Origin Castle] or [Sea of Chaos]?"
"neither."
Wu Nai shook his head and said: "We are fellow villagers, but I am not the backup of Tianzun or God, and they cannot use me as their backup. I am outside the past time and space history, and do not exist in the era. Until
I just returned to the earth from the stars not long ago."
He did not tell the truth and chose an origin that was more acceptable to the goddess.
"So wanderers from the starry sky, which side are you going to stand on? Us or the Outer Gods?" the goddess of the night asked solemnly. She did not get to the bottom of Wu Nai's origins, but asked the most important question at the moment.
.
"Those guys in the starry sky will be liquidated by me sooner or later..."
Wu Nai said solemnly: "If I hadn't bypassed the original barrier and returned to Earth, I would have died in the siege of the outer gods. One day I will let them fall from the stars into the dust one by one."
"So which side are you on? I need a definite answer, not an ambiguous answer." Amanysis asked in a soft but firm voice.
"I would like to be an ally. This is our planet. I will not sit back and watch it be destroyed by alien gods."
As he spoke, Wu Nai's eyes flashed with the words "Collection of the unique secret of "Dark Night"", and at the same time, there was a prompt symbol of "Acquiring Extraordinary Characteristics: Requiem Master".
"Very good, you have gained a lot of benefits from me. You have not kept this secret secret. Oseikus and the others may not have discovered it, but they cannot hide it from me. You have the aura of [Origin Castle] in you!"
"..."
Wu Nai smiled and said nothing, secretly thinking that it was powerful. His trumpet also had this authority through the gains from the previous world, but it was still not as good as the goddess of the night.
"You have benefited from me. According to the principle of equivalent exchange, you must do me a favor in the future."
"Take [River of Eternal Darkness]?" Wu Nai asked directly.
"...Yes, you really know something about us."
The goddess of the night nodded: "I will inform you then."
But this is Klein's job... Wu Nai smiled slightly and said, "If that's the case, you didn't give me enough."
"I will make up the price difference then..."
As she spoke, a light spot like the morning sun flew out from the goddess of the night, and when it fell into Wu Nai's hand, it turned into a holy emblem of the Church of the Night.
"Put this badge away so that you won't cause unnecessary trouble when you leave."
The goddess is really attentive... After Wu Nai put away the exquisite badge, the figure in front of him quickly became blurry, and the night herbs and deep sleep flowers under his feet flew up one after another, filling the darkness.
After Wu Nai opened his eyes, a line of twisted and crazy symbols and the Holy Bone Sword came into view again.
In the dark alchemy room, Crestel's eyes fell on the badge in his hand, and he smiled and said: "Goddess, Mr. Messiah, you successfully passed the test, I will prepare the magic potion for you right away.
"
"Trouble..."
After putting the badge in his arms, he waited quietly for the other party to mix the clown potion, then turned to the cup and took a deep breath.
The dense mist steamed up and turned into spiritual energy and absorbed it into his body. This time, because it was absorbed repeatedly, he did not receive any hint of obtaining extraordinary characteristics.
