- After hearing Nim the high priest's answer, Klein took twenty or thirty steps to the right along the gray fog with his lantern.
- Then he half-closed his eyes as if he were sensing something, which made the extraordinary people of Moon City, who followed behind him, completely afraid to make a sound for fear of disturbing the oracle.
- After four or five seconds, Klein held out his right hand and scratched slowly into the air ahead.
- A stone altar then fell from nothingness to reality, with three greasy candles and seven or eight spiritual materials on it.
- Nim, the demigod of sequence 4, was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't believe his eyes.
- He saw German before. Sparrow took out his walking stick and healed his companion, just thinking that he had the spatial ability or the favor of the "fool", but now his judgment has been completely overturned, because the altar, the candles, the spiritual materials, he looks familiar.
- It's all what he used to use!
- How can he get out the things I used? Is this from history, from the power of time? Nim recalled some of the remaining books of Moon City, combined with his understanding of the demigod, and made some preliminary guesses.
- Then Klein looked back at the high priest and said:
- "you may begin."
- Nim quietly took a breath and walked step by step to the altar under the gaze of Adar, Xin and Ruth, creating a spiritual wall.
- After looking at the symbols, signs and patterns engraved on the altar and confirming that there was no problem, he performed the ceremony skillfully according to the process that had been engraved into his memory.
- At last, he buried his head and murmured:
- "an immutable fog;
- "the barrier of solidifying time and space;
- "all-inclusive existence."
- Before the end of the prayer, Klein had turned his attention to the gray fog, hoping to hear a voice coming from the depths.
- To this end, he scattered a large number of secret monster puppets that were secretly controlled and walked in the darkness around him, and placed one at intervals in order to avoid any suspicious traces.
- But until the ceremony was completed, he was unaware of anything unusual.
- After waiting for a while, Klein turned his eyes to Nim, the High Priest of Moon City, and said blandly:
- "do it again."
- .
- In the study of the Hall family in Beckland, Queens.
- With permission, Audrey opened the door and went in. Her father, count Hall, and her brother, Hibert, were discussing something.
- "Oh, baby, you don't look good?" Count Hall turned his eyes to the door.
- Audrey, who was useless to act, smiled reluctantly and said:
- "there is a big gap in the food of the poor fund. I want to raise some more. I visited many aristocrats today, but they all told me that there was no more food, even if I bought it with pounds."
- When they said these words, the aristocrats placed high-quality black tea and a variety of fine desserts in front of them, either in the small living room or in a place dedicated to afternoon tea, and asked Audrey from time to time to comment on the cooking skills of the dessert chef at home.
- Their servants were ruddy, walked lightly and hardly made a sound so as not to disturb the distinguished guests.
- "the present situation." Count Hall sighed when he heard the words.
- Audrey thought for a moment and said seriously:
- "Dad, I remember there should be a lot of food at home. Can I spend money on some of it?"
- "Audrey, you've done too much. You don't have to do this anymore." Hibbert. Hall frowned and said, while Audrey just looked at her father and did not respond to her brother's words.
- Count Hall's expression, which was much relieved by his daughter's arrival, slowly became serious again:
- "Audrey, the premise of charity is that it does not affect the lives of yourself and your family. This is a rule that I want you to keep in mind."
- Audrey, dressed in a long gold-and-white dress, frowned and stretched out and said sincerely:
- "Dad, the family has enough food for everyone in this house to eat for a whole year or more, and there is a lot of food in East Chestershire."
- Because Winter County had not yet been completely fallen, the Fossack army invading through Intersea did not attack East Chestershire, while the Fossack, Intis and Fenerbaut fleets at sea, suppressed by several of Roon's armored fleets, could only manage to protect the sea supply line.
- Count Hall looked at his daughter's jewel-green eyes for several seconds and suddenly sighed and smiled.
- "Audrey, you've really grown up and have your own ideas and good persistence.
- "however, none of us knows how long the war will last or what will happen in the end, so we have to set aside a lot of food to deal with all this.
- "I can accept that there are two delicious dishes missing from each meal to help people in need, but I don't want my table to become like the middle class described in the newspapers, which will completely deprive us of our dignity as aristocrats. This is something that every generation has been sticking to.
- "do you understand what I mean? I just made an analogy. The essence of the matter is that I attach more importance to the survival and future of the family, to our identity and status, and to show my love and kindness only if they are not affected.
- "Audrey, what I said may be cruel, but you have grown up and it is time to listen. Everyone is selfish, but to varying degrees. In my heart, the importance of the whole Hall family is more important than me and your mother, than you, than Hilbert and Alfred, in addition to these, first faith and good friends, then acquaintances, and finally all over Beckland, people in need of relief.
- "if it doesn't affect those in front of me, I don't mind helping them, but unfortunately, I have to think about more things now."
- At this point, count Hall shook his head mockingly:
- "I'm sorry to let you know that your father is such a selfish man."
- As Audrey listened attentively to her father, her expression changed slightly at first, then precipitated, and there was no extra emotion until the end.
- At this moment, she was silent for a while, and then asked again:
- ". But we've got so much more than we need, can't we even get some of it out of it? "
- Hibbert. Hall chimed in a little angrily:
- "Why should we give away what we have earned so hard?
- "it is produced in our land, in the pasture, in the woodland, and we buy it with gold pounds, and the money and assets are handed down by the family, earned by my father with accurate vision and strong courage, and accumulated from generation to generation.
- "We do charity to help others is to show extra love, not that we have to do it, okay?"
- Count Hall nodded:
- "there's nothing wrong with what Hilbert said, and that's what I think."
- Audrey pursed her lower lip, nodded slowly and said:
- "I understand."
- Count Hall withdrew his eyes and said to Hilbert:
- "the hoarded food must be well guarded, and if the outcome of the war is really irreversible, you try to contact those guys in Intis and show our sincerity.
- "after the battlefield has lasted for such a long time, many of them have died, many fields are abandoned, urban prices are soaring, and there must be a strong demand for food, pastures, and woodland. coupled with my shares in the Bank of Intis Sucht, as well as part of the shares of Bavart Bank and Beckland Bank, they should be able to buy them off, hehe, at such times, kinship can only be discussed when the requirements in this regard are first met."
- Intis and Roon are often married, and many aristocrats are relatives, especially steam believers.
- "Dad, are you thinking about surrendering?" Asked Hibert in some surprise.
- Count Hall nodded gently and sighed again:
- "how can I not consider the present situation?
- "then you will be the new Earl of Hall."
- Heber was excited and puzzled:
- "what about you, Dad?"
- Count Hall replied with a wry smile:
- "your mother and I are both devout believers and have a certain place in the church. When Ron falls and the church falls, it will not end well if we are not willing to leave the front desk."
- At this point, he comforted the eldest son:
- "as long as the Hall family is still alive, the title is still alive, and there is not much loss of core assets, we will not have a miserable old age. After you convert to steam, remember to prepare a secret prayer room for us at home."
- During the conversation, Audrey, dressed in a gold-and-white dress at the door, looked and listened quietly, her green eyes like gems.
- .
- After repeated attempts, as the projection of the altar disappeared, Nim, the High Priest of Moon City, weighed German with strange lanterns. Sparrow said:
- "it doesn't seem to work today. We can try again tomorrow. It won't take more than two months at most."
- At this moment, Klein was preoccupied with another question:
- Could it be the perfunctory use of historical pore images that led to the failure of the ceremony?
- He reviewed himself deeply and decided to listen to the words of the high priest of Moon City and try again tomorrow. At that time, he must let the other party bring real materials.
- He was about to nod when there was a sound in his ear.
- The sound came from the depths of the gray fog, layer upon layer, vaguely vague.
- Is it working? The ceremony really worked, but the delay was too high. With joy in his heart, Klein immediately raised his right hand and pressed it down slightly, motioning to the extraordinary people of Moon City not to speak.
- Then he held his breath, gathered his thoughts, and began to listen attentively.
- The sound echoing in the gray fog seemed to come from many different objects, intertwined with each other, sometimes interfering with each other, canceling each other, sometimes overlapping and resonating.
- Gradually, the sound became clearer in Klein's ears, especially when it resonated.
- It seemed to be his familiar language, and it seemed to be countless people reciting a name together.
- The name is:
- Fusheng Xuan Huang Tianzun.
