"Does this friend of yours treat you badly?"
"No, I didn't mean that." Leonard quickly denied it, still doubting: "You wouldn't say something like that for no reason."
"Then just think of it as the reason why I didn't get a good rest last night."
"...Old man, do you know something?" Leonard would not believe such obvious and perfunctory remarks.
"When asking this question, should you think about it yourself, what do you want? Is it the truth of the matter or to maintain the friendship between friends?"
Leonard was silent for a while. This was why he didn't want to face Hastur.
Because I always feel awkward.
"Wait a minute, are you implying that the matter of Ince Zangwill is related to Hastur?" Leonard grasped the key point from what he just said,
"Oh, I didn't say that."
Leonard was so angry that he gritted his teeth, "Old man, you just like to show off like this. You weren't a coffin seller when you were alive, right?"
The voice deep inside disappeared for a moment, and finally only one sentence came.
"You should be thankful that you have a good relationship with Mr. Hastur if you can walk out of that castle alive."
"?!"
Leonard's heart was tickled by these words, but no matter how he asked, the old man never answered his questions.
It was already past four in the afternoon when they returned to Puning Port. Ms. Illya had not returned yet, so Leonard rested in the room for a while.
At around six o'clock in the evening, Leonard found Illya and reported what he had heard this time.
He reported exactly what Hastur answered, without mixing in any personal opinions.
Illya nodded calmly and said, "Well, we have already investigated what happened that night. There is indeed a group of mysterious people chasing Ince Zangwill."
Leonard felt a little relieved and asked curiously, "Have you found out which organization he is a member of?"
"No, but we have some clues." Seeing Leonard's doubtful face, she added, "The information about cults collected by the church has not been updated for nearly a hundred years. Organizations that have not been around for a long time and do not have enough influence will not be included in the records."
Leonard said "oh" to indicate that he understood, and then he asked about his next task.
"You have all worked hard during this period, so just rest here for two days."
Illya gave Leonard and the others a short vacation. She wanted to send the information she had sorted out during this period back to Backlund to see what instructions Saint Samuel Church would give.
Leonard returned to his room and sighed. After a few days of rest, this would be a good time to visit Hastur.
But after last night's sudden visit and investigation, he no longer has the mood or face to go a second time.
……
In Tamu Town, Mr. A, who had been loyally guarding the Lord's birth container, was finally found by the Aurora Society.
Leading the group was another messenger of God, Mr. S.
"Where have you taken that portion of the Lord's divine power!"
Faced with Mr. S's cold rebuke, Mr. A looked very calm and was not moved at all.
Just as the Lord said, he was destined to bear sacrifices and misunderstandings. In this case, why should he explain anything?
"I originally wanted to give you a chance to come to your senses because we have worked together for so many years. I didn't expect that you would not only abandon the Lord's faith, but also refuse to repent. Do you want to become the Lord's enemy?"
Mr. A remained silent. Such misunderstanding was an inevitable process for him, and he would not argue with a poor believer who was not favored by the Lord.
Seeing that Mr. A remained silent, Mr. S had no intention of asking any further questions.
By killing Mr. A first and then searching his memory, we can also find the whereabouts of that divine power.
He is also a divine messenger of the Aurora Society and a Sequence 5 shepherd of the Hanged Man Path.
This battle tests the quality of the souls in the hands of both sides. Whoever has a better match of extraordinary abilities will have a better chance of winning.
But this was obviously not going to be a fair fight. While Mr. A was being entangled, the other members of the Aurora Society began to search every corner of the house.
It was inevitable that Mr. A would be distracted as he did not want them to disturb his master's sleep. He wanted to get rid of Mr. S's entanglement, but he was unable to do so.
Finally, he had to pay the price of his left arm to temporarily force Mr. S to retreat and rush to the house they were searching. Under that house was the bedroom where the master rested.
As the Lord's most loyal believer, he will fight for the Lord until his death.
Mr. S, who arrived later, sneered, "It seems that you have hidden the Lord's divinity in the basement of this room."
As a member of the Aurora Society, he knew the function of the basement very well.
Mr. A remained silent and continued to fight bloody battles. At this moment, he was like a warrior returning from the world of the dead. He was guarding this house and would rather die than take a step back.
Just when Mr. A was about to die, he heard the Lord's familiar voice.
"Let's go, we should go on a long journey."
Chapter 299 Return to the Kingdom of God, the Road of Pilgrimage
Mr. A did not hesitate at all, pretending to resist desperately, and then quickly withdrew and rode the strong wind away.
In terms of ability matching, he is better than Mr. S.
"Go after him!"
When Mr. S chased after him, his heart suddenly shrank and his whole body was so cold that even his blood almost froze completely.
He didn't dare to continue chasing because there was a terrible enemy watching him from the dark.
He had only experienced such an intimidating look from Lord Ourolyus.
Mr. A eventually escaped.
There was not much frustration on the face of Mr. S who had lost his target. Today, the person who came to solve Mr. A's matter was not only him, a divine messenger, but also a saint.
The reason why I hid in the dark and didn't take action was because I wanted to see who else was behind Mr. A.
Right now, Lord Saint should have caught up with him, he just needs to stay here and wait for the news.
After taking a look at the corner of the basement that had been exposed, Mr. S ordered his subordinates to dig out the basement.
After drilling through the basement, Mr. S led people inside. The dark environment could not block his sight.
In the quiet and cold basement, there was an empty coffin quietly placed. Apart from that, there was no other debris.
When he was about to step forward to observe the coffin to see if any key information remained, the originally intact coffin was like a sand coffin, decaying and withered, and then scattered into ashes.
Mr. S's face became more solemn. After carefully inspecting the basement and finding no other problems, he left the basement.
Not long after he came out, he saw the Dark Saint who came with him today returning empty-handed.
Have you even lost the Saint?
Mr. S was very discerning and knew that the saint must have returned in vain just now, so he was very sensible and stayed aside quietly without saying anything.
"Did you find anything in the basement?" A cold voice said from Kesma's mouth.
Mr. S quickly told the truth about what happened in the basement just now.
Kesma snorted coldly, with unwillingness flashing in his eyes, but in the end he suppressed the discomfort in his heart and asked Mr. S to replace Mr. A as the person in charge of Backlund before turning around and leaving.
Mr. S respectfully watched Kesma leave. As for the continued pursuit of Mr. A, the Saint did not mention it, which meant that this matter was no longer something they, the envoys, could solve.
On the other side, Mr. A, who fled Tamu Town, came to the seaside port under the guidance of the oracle.
It's time for them to travel far.
Mr. A used his extraordinary ability to easily get a ship, and everyone on board except the sailor who was operating the ship was kicked off the ship.
He came to the captain's cabin, which was reserved for the captain, and respectfully requested the coming of the Lord.
When the channel to the spiritual world opened and the Lord's figure appeared in his field of vision, Mr. A truly felt relieved.
Realizing that the Lord was looking at his broken arm, Mr. A felt hot in his heart and said quickly: "Please don't worry, Lord, my injury will return to normal later."
He looked seriously injured, but for him who was once Bishop of Rose, physical injuries were never a problem.
Hastur did not speak, but looked out the window at the vast expanse of land in the distance.
sea.
Compared to being on land, staying at sea can save you a lot of unnecessary trouble.
To him, a container of stars, distance in space is nothing.
The only thing to note is that he cannot come for too long during the day.
Today, it was he who heard Mr. A's cry for help and prayers that he temporarily used a nap as an excuse to lie on the bed and go to the Hall of Stars to start the divine descent.
The time he comes out should be kept within two hours as much as possible so as not to arouse unnecessary suspicion from others.
At night, when the stars shine brightly, this is the time when this starry container really comes into play.
"Lord, where are we going?" Mr. A, who had regrown his arms, asked in a low voice.
He didn't quite understand what the Lord said about traveling far away, but at that moment he felt numb and numb.
Now that we have arrived on the sea by boat, we need a way forward.
“Wherever you look, that’s the direction you’re going.”
Mr. A's heart was suddenly shaken. He carefully compared the direction of sailing at this moment. His expression changed and he asked tremblingly: "Lord, are we going to return to your kingdom of God?"
Return to the Kingdom of God?
It sounds interesting too.
Hastur said calmly: "It's time to return to the once abandoned land."
Could it be the legendary place abandoned by gods?
Mr. A was so excited that his breathing became dry. It was rumored that the Lord’s Kingdom of God is in the place abandoned by God. But over the years, believers have been coming one after another, always wanting to follow the Lord’s gaze and return to the Lord’s Kingdom of God. Unfortunately, No believer has succeeded yet.
To be able to enter the Lord's Kingdom of God, one must at least be an angel. Only a person of this kind is qualified to serve the Lord.
And do you have the chance to become an angel serving the Lord?
Traveling afar and returning to the Kingdom of God is your own pilgrimage.
Could it be that this incarnation of the Lord appeared here just to extradite himself to the Kingdom of God, the land abandoned by God?
When Mr. A thought of this, his heartbeat almost stopped.
