Chapter 140 Suddenly Placed Under House Arrest by the Aurora Society
The next day, Wagner, who was in charge of the mechanics company, received his employer's payment. He hadn't even had a chance to threaten his employer.
Because the employer also felt that Bennett's heart attack came at too much of a coincidence.
He didn't care what methods the hired assassin used; as long as his rival was dead, he was willing to pay the money. Even if it had nothing to do with the hired assassin, he believed that as long as he paid, he had done his part in revenge.
While waiting for a new employer to appear, Raphael pondered how to further digest the potion.
At this time, the people of Backlund were in a period of great depression.
The fierce fighting on the southern coast of the South Sea and in the Amanda Mountains has claimed the lives of hundreds of thousands of young Rune.
The high command of Rune was also shocked by the huge battle losses.
It was only in the last few days that they realized that since modern artillery and heavy machine guns were equipped in the military, there had been no large-scale war between the four major powers of the Northern Continent, as these weapons were mostly used in the colonies.
Meanwhile, the enemies in the colonies were still mainly armed with cold weapons, and the colonial armies of the various countries in the North Continent had a huge advantage in terms of weaponry.
At this time, the war between Rune and Fusak was basically evenly matched in terms of weaponry. Although Rune had a slight advantage, it was not a significant one.
It was through this war that the high command on both sides gained a clear understanding of the destructive power of artillery and firearms.
Backlund was still recovering from the bombing, and many of its young men had already died on the battlefield.
This left the people of Backlund feeling both grief and bewilderment.
Raphael saw in the newspaper that the King would give a speech in Memorial Square a week later to boost morale.
Furthermore, the latest technology must be used to "make the king's voice resound throughout the entire Ruen."
Raphael certainly remembered that the king was undergoing a ceremony to ascend to godhood, but he was set off with fireworks during the ceremony—or rather, he was set off as fireworks by others.
Therefore, Raphael planned to seriously cultivate the "Three Absolute Techniques of Corpse Refining" during this period, and even planned to postpone his new role for a while.
After just one day of rest, Raphael received a letter from Mr. C, inviting him to a gathering of extraordinary individuals.
Raphael didn't think much of it and went to the address on the letter.
The servant led Raphael to a small drawing room, where Mr. C was already seated on the sofa, but other important members had not yet arrived.
After greeting Mr. C, Raphael began chatting with the others.
This is a tradition at the Extraordinary Gatherings; before each gathering begins, key members of the Aurora Society chat for over an hour.
Sometimes, there's only a chat session, and the gathering isn't even held.
Apart from Mr. C, no one else knew the significance of doing this.
After chatting for a while, everyone arrived.
Mr. C glanced at the five people in front of him and said, "From today onwards, none of you are allowed to leave this villa."
"If you want anything to eat, just tell the kitchen. If you want to find streetwalkers, you can have the servants find them for you."
The gaunt Mr. C took a deep breath and said, "Whoever leaves here, I will kill."
Everyone was stunned, not understanding why Mr. C would suddenly do this.
"The Rose Bishop" Xavier asked, "Is there a traitor among us? Should we investigate?"
Raphael thought to himself: Are they talking about me?
Mr. C said, "No."
Raphael smiled: "The operation is about to begin."
Shortly after he joined the Aurora Club, Mr. C revealed that the Aurora Club was preparing for a major operation.
Only the divine messenger is qualified to know the specifics of the action.
Mr. C smiled slightly: "That's right."
Raphael took a deep breath: "I need to bring all the zombies here."
"Okay." Mr. C nodded and said, "Two days later, Mr. Butis, the 'Sage of Mystery,' will take you to bring all the living corpses."
"The Dark Saint will also be there then, and will examine you for promotion to Divine Envoy."
He turned to Xavier, the "Rose Bishop" who had just spoken, and said, "You should join us too."
At this point, Mr. C finally revealed an ugly smile: "This operation will make your resumes look better and will help you in your competition for the position of Divine Envoy."
Xavier smiled as well, showing his confidence in the trip.
Raphael asked, "Was the expedition difficult? Was it dangerous?"
Mr. C, who had been through it all, explained: "The investigation is divided into two parts. The first part is that two divine messengers will take you to solve a problem faced by the Aurora Club. It may be a little difficult, but there will be no danger."
"The second test involves placing you in a dangerous area and having you complete a task."
Although there is the protection and accompaniment of a saint, there may still be some danger.
He said, "You two must remember that whoever has the most devout faith in the Creator among those who participate in this trial has a greater chance of becoming a messenger of God."
Xavier nodded earnestly: "Praise be to the Creator of all things."
Raphael, however, did not join in the praise, but instead frowned as he pondered Mr. C's reminder.
Mr. C added, "This time, we will conduct the first round of tests on the two of you. If you perform well in this mission, you may not need to participate in the second round of tests."
"The rest of you shouldn't be discouraged either. As I said before, this operation will be a very important experience for you, so important that you will be given priority to become divine messengers in the next trial."
Raphael thought to himself: This is clearly a big, round pie!
It is estimated that this selection of divine messengers is also intended to motivate the two Sequence 6s to work hard in the upcoming missions.
However, the other divine messengers were so impressed by Mr. C's words that they were eager to complete the "Aurora Meeting" mission right now and shine in the next divine messenger selection.
"Alright," Mr. C said again, "You can choose your own bedroom now."
"I have only one request: use these next few days to continue getting to know each other. Remember that."
This is crucial in the operation; crucial enough to save your lives.
After choosing their rooms, the group went to the card room on the first floor to play cards.
Raphael arrived with over five thousand pounds in cash, intending to purchase a magical item through the "Diviner's" pathway at the Extraordinary Gathering.
There was no extraordinary gathering at all, so he simply took out a few gold pounds to play cards.
During the card game, they naturally discussed what this big operation was all about, but after a long time, they didn't come to any conclusions.
Raphael was considering whether to risk sending out this intelligence.
After thinking about it, he finally shook his head: Forget it, it's too dangerous.
At that moment, he suddenly thought of the name "The Fool," through which he could not only connect with Dawn Dantes.
