Fake Ancient God

Chapter 33: Embrace the chant

After Nie Yuan left, Earl Lilian calmed down. She held her chin and muttered to herself.

"A very good person, in every way."

"Buck, how come you have so many secret and distinguished relatives?"

"No matter how you hide and tuck in, I should have some vigilance against you, but... it's also a force that is definitely worth winning."

"Nie Yuan, ha, I hope you won't do anything bad."

"I'm even starting to look forward to having dinner with you next time."

Muttering, Earl Lilian looked at the document on the table again, pondered for a while, turned his head to the subordinate who was standing in the shadows behind his seat, and said:

"In addition to the nonsense of guiding the future construction of Ruian City, Wangcheng also instructed me to return to the palace soon to participate in the promotion ceremony.

But he never mentioned it and completely revoke my relegation. The implication was very obscure, making me unsure whether I could stay in the royal city after being promoted, or return to Ruian City and continue to bear the title of marquis. Here to live the years of life.

Shadow, what do you think? "

The courtier behind him who was hiding in the shadows replied:

"The old king is seriously ill and has not been able to control the government for several months. The situation in the royal city is bound to be complicated. There must be a different kind of meaning in attracting you back now.

The subordinates thought that if they hurriedly returned to the royal city, they might encounter some unexpected dangers.

But how to make a choice is still up to your will, Lord Lilian. The subordinates cannot make decisions on your behalf, and can only do their best to ensure your safety. "

Lillian thought for a while and said, "The content of the document leaves a lot of room for it. The words seem to be high-sounding, but they are mixed with obscure signals.

Some people couldn't hold back the king before he died. The battle between my relatives seems to have entered a white-hot stage.

Some branches want to win over any active forces and reach a united front. I only see a deal from the document, a deal that concerns my future status.

The accolade ceremony is just a 'deposit' thrown by them. If I can make some people satisfied, join their front line, contribute to someone, shine, and help him take over the supreme authority of the Kingdom of Baine...

Then I am a minister of the dragon, definitely not as simple as a marquis. I will definitely have a place in the central circle of the royal city.

If I can't satisfy them, even if I eat the deposit, I will spit it out. The best result is to return to Ruian City and continue to eat and wait to die.

if……

The branch I chose lost this battle, haha, me and everyone in this branch are doomed, slashed by a thousand swords and nailed to the pillar of shame in history.

You are right about Shadow, this trip is indeed very dangerous. If I go back, I may not be able to come back alive. "

The shadow was silent for a while, and said: "Then...Sir Lilian, why don't we go into this muddy water, at least we can guarantee your current status, and when the new king is on the throne, there is still a 'clean body', You can continue to try and work hard to return to the royal city, in a safe identity and way."

Lilian laughed when she heard the words, and said, "My current status? Shadow, do you think I have any status now? It's just an empty shelf that has been pushed out of the circle."

Shadow froze in his heart, hesitantly said: "Then you have made up your mind and are going to return to the royal city in the near future to participate in their battle?"

"Do not."

Lillian shook her head and said, "I'm going to delay for a while, to postpone the return date, and wait until they bite the dog and the situation becomes clear, and then go back to accept the promotion."

The shadow seemed to have caught something, he said: "Do you want to wait for some branches to be completely eliminated, some branches have already risen strongly, and after you have the momentum to set the overall situation, you will go back and choose to attach yourself to that side?

This is indeed safe. Although there should be no chance of competing in the most central circle, but under the clear situation, the chance of choosing the wrong one is greatly reduced. "

"Wrong Shadow again."

Lillian smiled and said, "I don't want to go back to cling to either side. Even if I do, it's just a temporary emptiness and a stubborn snatch."

Shadow wondered: "Then what do you mean?"

Lillian's expression gradually turned cold, and she said, "After they persecuted my father to death and executed Tracy to death, I made a decision on the way to be exiled to Ryan City.

If there is a chance, even if the chance is very slim, once I see the light of day, I will let all of them pay the price for it.

Needless to say, the mastermind, the silent ones are also accomplices. After I left, they all continued to flatter the initiators, as if nothing had happened.

But I remember everything, and no one can escape the relationship.

I want all of them to feel the dark shadow of my pain at that time, and I want the Kingdom of Baine... "

In a very flat tone, he spoke extremely insolent words.

However, the power and determination that burst out from the words seemed to make the air stagnate.

Shadow still didn't speak, but Earl Lilian suddenly smiled, washed away the gloomy appearance just now, and became cheerful again, saying:

"I'm wrong, and I can't talk about it. After all, isn't I also the blood of the Baine royal family?"

Stormy waves were already rolling up in Shadow's heart, and his tone changed, saying:

"But...but...what are you arguing with them for?"

Lillian continued: "Shadow, although you stay by my side most of the time and I absolutely trust you, do you really think that I have accumulated nothing over the years?

From the circle of Wangcheng, I can't see any hope of enriching my wings, and I can only seek help from forces outside the circle.

Search your memory carefully, do you find anything? "

Shadow quickly searched in his mind, suddenly thought of something, and said:

"Is it those mysterious people? The mysterious people who asked me to avoid talking? But you haven't met them a few times. There are only a handful of them. Even if they are powerful, are they trustworthy?"

Lillian smiled and said, "They certainly won't help me wholeheartedly, but they have their own morality, and they usually won't be like my hypocritical relatives, who are full of lies and have no bottom line.

I have cooperated with them several times, and I have managed to establish a fairly solid relationship. Besides, I have no other choice, do I? "

Shadow replied: "You occasionally send letters to all parts of the country, as well as the magic circle used for remote communication, are you contacting those people? I don't know how it will unfold, but since you have come to a conclusion that you can cooperate In conclusion, they must have a certain degree of reliability."

Lillian turned her head, looked at the shadow with relief, and said, "You know, this is one of the reasons why I absolutely trust you, just like the document just now."

When Earl Lilian was reading the document just now, he didn't shy away from the shadows behind him, he just opened it and read it.

But Shadow still doesn't know the content of the document, and needs to tell him about it himself in order to understand the whole story.

It's not that Shadow is stupid, but that he didn't peep a word at all. Without Lillian's permission, he wouldn't spy on any master's privacy.

Just like when Lillian exchanged letters with those mysterious people in front of him, or communicated remotely in the form of a magic circle, he has only now learned that the master has already cooperated with those people several times. .

If subordinates have to pass an assessment called "loyal dog self-cultivation" before they can take office, then Shadow will definitely get full marks.

That's why Lillian trusts him so much.

Shadow bowed his head slightly and said tamely: "This is the quality that subordinates should have, but I still can't help but want to remind that your relatives are not so easy to get along with, they... are cruel, even if they treat themselves. 's relatives.

The subordinates don't know the identity of the mysterious people who cooperate with you, but there may still be a big gap between fighting against the entire Baine royal family.

You still have to think twice, after all, once you fail to take control of the final authority, the consequences..."

"Huh~"

Lillian looked relaxed and said, "Shadow, I've already realized it. After that day, I'm no longer afraid of death, I'm not afraid of losing, I'm afraid... I can't see hope."

Having said that, Lillian added: "The energy of those people is actually not as weak as you think, they can do a lot of things, more than you think, it depends on whether I can pay the corresponding price.

It is precisely because I have already made a decision that I will spare no effort to win over outside forces, whether it is a mysterious person you don't know very well, or someone you know, like those from Buck's Bookstore.

I even allowed some people to start a long-prepared, grand ceremony of summoning the Outer Gods in Ruian City, helping them blind the eyes of all the churches and bear the huge consequences that may result from the failure of the summoning. "

"The ceremony of summoning the Outer Gods?!"

Shadow was shocked again. It turned out that Lord Lilian, even without everyone's awareness, participated in such a huge event?

It was still in Ruian City!

You must know that in a few cases, after the ceremony of summoning the Outer God fails, it may lead to a result that is more terrifying than the source of the disaster!

The void torn apart by the ritual, I don't know what kind of unimaginable aura will leak out!

Not to mention the doorway, it's definitely not as simple as Mr. Lilian said. She helps the believers of the outer gods and hides the eyes of the church, and she must take an extremely huge risk.

Once discovered, it is doomed.

Because the Kingdom of Baine defines the mysterious church that believes in outer gods as an evil sect. Unlike other kingdoms, there is still a certain tolerance for it. As long as you don't do things that violate the laws, you can allow some Modest offshoots of mystic sects exist.

The Kingdom of Baine didn't distinguish which branches were good and which were bad, and they just killed it with one shot.

In the end, has Lady Lilian been secretly connected with this sect?

If she can really hold the final authority, she can indeed allow certain branches of the mysterious sect to make some deals with those mysterious cultists at the expense of their blatant existence in the Kingdom of Baine.

But the danger is also extremely high. If one is not careful, not only the Wangcheng circle will work together to erase her, but the orthodox sects will not let it go.

There are too many, too deep and complex relationships.

It seems that Lord Lilian, as she said, has the determination to sink the boat...

Shadow thinks about what he and his colleagues did not long ago, under the arrangement of Lord Lilian, which seemed to be irrelevant, but in fact later recalled that he was completely deceiving the orthodox church, and he could not help secretly be his own master in his heart. future worries.

With such an act, even if she has grasped the highest authority, will the orthodox church really let her sit in that position...

Lillian didn't feel that there was anything, and continued to explain to the shadow:

"Yes, the ceremony of summoning the Outer Gods, but it was a logical failure. The Outer Gods did not accept the breath of the living beings as sacrifices and came.

But those people didn't get nothing, at least they have drawn enough energy from the void, and the energy they need has brought our partnership one step closer.

It is said that……

They grabbed a rare undead monster, took out his heart, drained his blood, and sewed up his chest, so that the undead could always keep the active chest cavity as a carrier for the arrival of the outer gods.

I don't know more about the inside story. After all, no matter how daring I am, I still need to clear my relationship. It is impossible for me to personally participate in such a ceremony.

They didn't say much, they just told me the general process. "

In Lillian's narration, Shadow knew the cause and effect, and there was nothing to say at this moment.

He knew that he would definitely not be able to persuade Lord Lilian, so he could only do his best to assist the Master in everything he wanted to do.

Shadow said in a low voice: "No matter what decision you make, I will support it, but the people of the mysterious church, they can't appear on the streets of Baine Kingdom openly, let alone become your staff or disciples directly. Fighting in the royal circle.

So even if they will provide some resources to support you, what about the obvious things?

Once your relatives perceive the threat, they will show their malice directly to you without any scruples. How can the mysterious believers who dare not show themselves in front of others help you? "

Lillian replied: "So, I won't let them perceive the threat so early, postpone it for a while, and return to the royal city after the situation is clear, showing an attitude of unintentional meddling in the fight, just wanting to protect myself, there is such a layer. considered.

Besides, besides the mysterious sect, don't I have some accumulations outside the royal city circle, such as those local dignitaries, such as some high-level chambers of commerce, such as members of the Buck's Bookstore. "

Shadow was silent for a while, and said, "Such a power is difficult to come to the fore in the battles of the royal city circle. They will not and will not dare to get involved in it."

Lilian laughed and said: "Of course I know they don't dare, but I lowered the vigilance of not only the Wangcheng circle, but they are also the same. When I really show my purpose, then, get on my chariot, It's not that easy to get down.

At that time, even if I let them come and go freely, my relatives will not let them go.

There is only... one way to go to the dark with me.

With the support of the mysterious sect, maybe, in case, maybe, we can see the light of day? "

Shadow has completely clarified the veins in Lord Lilian's heart now, and while sighing, he asked tentatively:

"Now I can see that there is indeed a great potential behind the Buck's Bookstore. It should be no worse than the local elite circles, and it is the easiest to pull into your command, because they seem to be rootless duckweeds. , there is no other good place to go.

But this was only discovered after the relatives of Old Buck gathered in Ruian City. How did you see the potential in Old Buck when he was only one person and was the most depressed, and decided to support him? Woolen cloth? "

Lilian thought for a while and said, "Intuitively, when I first saw his cloudy eyes, I thought this guy must be full of stories.

Unexpectedly, he did give me a lot of surprises one after another, so he would tolerate him and owe so much debt to me.

And the arrival of his relatives was a complete surprise, especially Nie Yuan, whose bottomless wisdom will definitely help me unimaginably.

Otherwise, I wouldn't bluntly say that I would let him become my personal staff, but it's not just because of his looks and temperament that he has a unique appeal, and it's not even just because he has extraordinary wisdom.

The most important thing is that he has an extraordinary understanding and cognition of the 'Whispers of the Outer Gods', which must be a solid foundation for my in-depth cooperation with the mysterious sect! "

Shadow Hearing agrees with such remarks.

Indeed, in the current situation of Lord Lilian, rashly pulling a person who is not familiar with him to become his personal staff will take a great risk.

She is not an impulsive person, on the contrary, she is very cautious at the key points.

The reason why she is willing to take that kind of risk must be because she feels that someone is very worthy of her doing that.

If it can become a bridge for in-depth cooperation with the mysterious sect, then paying a high price to try to keep Nie Yuan will definitely be a good deal.

Shadow nodded and said: "It's true that Nie Yuan can surprise you, then it will definitely give a bigger surprise to the mysterious sect. After all, no one valued them more than them, and the value of 'Whispers of the Outer God' has become more valuable. ."

Lillian smiled and said: "Yes, I even think that with Nie Yuan's participation, the mysterious church doesn't have to deal with the dirty and inferior undead monsters, he definitely has a very deep understanding of ancient knowledge like the Outer Gods. His guiding advice makes people want to explore what kind of extraordinary experience he has had in the past years."

"It seems that you really value him, Lord Lilian, although... he is indeed worthy of being valued."

"Ha... are you making fun of me, Shadow?"

"My subordinates dare not."

……

the other end.

Nie Yuan still didn't know that after he left, Earl Lilian and her guardian shadow had started such a dialogue, and if he listened to it, he would definitely be blown away.

He played with the Rubik's Cube worth three gold coins, while secretly complaining about the smell of wine and meat in Zhumen, he leisurely toured the streets of Ruian City with Nancy.

Feeling the customs of another world~www.wuxiaspot.com~, I didn't rush to go to the church.

Because when I came out of Earl Lilian's house, it wasn't even the time to sing hymns in Moonlight Church.

He has two purposes for this trip. One is to verify that every time he hears a hymn, he will lose his mind by the ethereal singing.

Last time, I was almost pulled by the hymn and pushed open the door of the church, announcing openly that Lao Tzu is the saint you are looking for.

It was Nancy's pull to wake him up.

Before fully understanding the situation, the outer gods directly occupy the identity of the descendants of the ancient gods and declare that they are believers of the main gods.

Undoubtedly it is very risky.

I can't.

So he also told Nancy that if there was something wrong with him, he remembered to pull himself back to Buck's Bookstore.

He didn't say much about the reason, and Nancy didn't ask any more questions, she just agreed.

And another purpose is to verify that he is so insane when he hears the hymn. Then, if he directly enters the Moonlight Church and faces the breath of the Moonlight Goddess, something extraordinary will happen.

However, for this purpose, he has reservations for the time being and will not necessarily try it.

At least you have to let yourself, at the risk of not being manipulated by the chant, to detect gradually.

After all, the meal has to be eaten one bite at a time, so you can't take risks rashly, you have to be cautious.

Almost stuck in time.

In the Moonlight Church, the elders are presiding over the gathering of believers and preparing to sing hymns every day.

Nie Yuan also led Nancy, like a passerby, and stepped into the street where the church is located.

Prepare to embrace, the ethereal chant that is about to sound.
