The truth behind Chapter 504 is shocking
Although this young secretary of Amyrius possessed an inner arrogance that looked down upon everything, at least he did not show it in his daily life or work. On the contrary, this arrogance made him work more efficiently than ordinary people.
Klein took a short nap in the admiral's office, cutting out an ugly paper figure to clean up the traces of today's battle. Then, Lueran returned with a dispirited man in his thirties.
"Your Excellency, this is the leader of the Celestial Cult on Oravi Island, Follett Ken, a 'madman'."
He lowered his head, which had been held high two hours ago, and reported softly.
"Madman" naturally didn't refer to the cult leader's mental state, but rather Sequence 8 of the "Prisoner" pathway. Klein had learned about this pathway from Sharon and Maric in Backlund. They were almost all members of the "Rose School." Sharon and her group belonged to the "Temperance" faction, while the "Indulgence" faction had "fine traditions" such as killing, bloody sacrifices, and promiscuity, which overlapped greatly with what happened tonight.
According to this "madman", they are a branch of the "Rose School", which was preached and developed by the school's saint Zatvin. The "Bound God" of the Rose School is an incarnation of the "Mother Tree of Desire". What they truly believe in is the evil and mysterious god "Mother Tree of Desire".
Faced with this cultist, Klein didn't hold back. He covertly switched "Creeping Hunger" to the interrogator's soul, releasing a certain amount of pressure to replace the "Ninth Law" spell that had already been used, and quickly asked Follett everything.
His initial guess was correct. It was indeed the black rhino horn-shaped pendant that contaminated Cynthia, and this so-called "fertility necklace" was provided by the Celestial Sect.
As long as Cynthia took the powder ground from the pendant and devoutly recited the name of the "Mother Tree of Desire" worshipped by the Celestial Cult, "Amyrius" would be unable to resist her temptation and would be more likely to conceive a child with this Beyonder at that time.
As for Cynthia's purpose, Lu Er'an also investigated it clearly from her parents. In order for her family to grow and develop on Oravi Island, and for Cynthia's own selfish reasons, she decided to give birth to a child with extraordinary abilities to keep the admiral's heart.
As far as I know, Amyrius already has his own family. However, given his old-fashioned and sentimental personality, if this child is born, he might actually fulfill Cynthia's intentions... Klein felt a little pain in his teeth after hearing this, but he couldn't show any obvious changes in his expression. He could only snort coldly, holding up the horn pendant, emphasizing his tone and the effect of "Mind Piercing", and asked:
"What is the real purpose of this necklace!?"
He seemed to have already made up his mind, and his tone was not questioning but confirmation, but in fact he was just guessing. After all, this kind of cult is not the "Guan Yin of Childbirth". Would they do good deeds without leaving a name?
Under his pressure, Follett, who had exhausted all his strength in the fight with Lueran to capture him, quickly gave in and roared like a madman:
“It, it can contaminate you through close contact!
"As long as Cynthia uses this pendant, consumes the powder, and recites the honorific name of the 'Mother Tree of Desire,' she can conceive a child while also contaminating you and making you her believer, no, her beloved!
"The 'Mother Tree of Desire' surpasses the Seven Gods and the 'True Creator'. It is the only true god, and you, Your Excellency the Admiral, are His chosen one!"
The more he spoke, the more excited he became, and he even showed signs of standing up. It was not until Lu Er'an behind him snorted coldly that he knelt down again in sweat.
Based on the other party's answer, Klein could guess the ultimate goal of the Celestial Cult.
The polluted Admiral Amyrius will be unacceptable to the kingdom's laws and the orthodox sects, so he can only secretly collude with them and gradually become a devout believer of the "Mother Tree of Desire", taking care of the development of the nudist sect on the island of Oravi and providing them with shelter.
Even after his and Cynthia's child, who was blessed by the "Mother Tree of Desire", grew up, the sect could go further and spread their beliefs to other colonies and even within the kingdom.
It's a nice plan, but I think with the Seven Gods' strict defense, your strategy will most likely stop at this small island... Klein was surprised at first, and then a little scared, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that this matter would most likely be difficult to succeed.
Because he adhered to his inner principles, he did not have close contact with Cynthia during the role-playing process, so he did not notice the abnormality of the other party in their two days of life. As a result, the mistress who repeatedly took the "Reproduction Necklace" powder eventually accumulated too much pollution in her body and mutated.
If it were Amyrius himself, he might be delighted by Cynthia's initiative and try to have sex with her, but this demigod has the ability to easily see whether the other party is a Beyonder. When in close contact with Cynthia, there is a high probability that he can see the pollution in her body and make an appropriate response.
So if I hadn't happened to replace Amyrius, your plan would have... wait?
A thought suddenly flashed through Klein's mind.
He stopped Lu Er'an, who had heard Follett's confession and was ignoring Cynthia's interpersonal relationships and was about to apologize with a serious face, and leaned forward, approaching the kneeling Celestial Cult leader and asked:
"Who instructed you to come up with this plan?"
Follet, who had collapsed under the continuous questioning and mental pressure, answered honestly:
"At first, it was Cynthia who found us through her parents. I sold her the 'Fertility Necklace' at a high price and didn't let her take the powder. But, but... the 'Mother Tree of Desire' instructed me in a dream to go one step further and bring its blessings to you!"
Direct instructions from the evil god are equivalent to an oracle. If it's just the first plan, it wouldn't be easy for Amyrius or me to discover... Klein somewhat confirmed his thoughts, but he continued to ask:
"When did you have the dream?"
"I remember very clearly the evening of Wednesday, February 9th, when a ship with a broken mast came to the dock..."
really……
Klein's guess was finally confirmed.
He looked at his secretary, Lu Er'an, who was standing beside him. His blond hair had lost its shine due to the previous turmoil, but his expression remained meticulous.
"You go out first."
He did not explain why, as this was his privilege as a superior.
Lu Er'an nodded, quickly walked to the door and gently closed it. With the click of the door lock, the whole study became quiet, as if isolated from the outside world.
Even using his extraordinary abilities? Putting aside his inner arrogance, he is indeed an excellent secretary... Klein looked at Follett with satisfaction and asked one last question:
"What else did you do after the Mother Tree of Desire gave the order?"
"We...followed His revelation that night and used the powder from the 'Fertility Necklace' to perform a ritual that amplified a homeless man's appetite. He...it seems he died of overeating..."
As expected, the candidate originally scheduled to play Amyrius was also "dealt with" by them...
After obtaining the last piece of the puzzle, Klein stopped talking and his mind raced.
Sometime before February 9th, the Celestial Cult had made preparations to provide Cynthia with the "Necklace of Fertility," giving her the chance to bear Amyrius' child. However, on Wednesday, February 9th, when Angel and I arrived on Oravi Island, Follett received a revelation from the "Mother Tree of Desire" in a dream and changed the plan. He used his "explosive appetite" to cause the homeless man originally chosen as Amyrius's substitute to die of overeating. Bilt of the Adventurers' Mutual Aid Association had no choice but to ask me to take his appearance and fill the role.
At the same time, Cynthia's "help" was also upgraded. Not only did she put on the necklace to seduce the admiral, she even took the necklace powder, accumulating the pollution of the "Mother Tree of Desire" in her body. Once he had an intimate relationship with her, he would inevitably be contaminated by this evil god and become his follower.
I initially thought their target was Amyrius, but judging by this timeline, the target of the "Mother Tree of Desire" is actually me!
No, it's not just me... If I hadn't resisted the temptation and had sex with Cynthia during these few days, she wouldn't have mutated due to the accumulation of too much pollution. As a mid-sequence, I wouldn't be able to detect the hidden aura of pollution, and the whole thing would have gone through without me noticing.
After that, after the commission is completed and I return to my true self, there's a high probability that something will happen between me and Angel...
Thinking of this, Klein's face turned pale. Even the Faceless Man's ability to maintain an unchanged expression couldn't hide it.
According to the true plan of the Celestial Sect and the "Mother Tree of Desire", both of us will eventually be contaminated by Him and become His believers and His followers!
