Chapter 309 Hevinia's Plan
An hour later, at the other end of the town of Deira.
"I said... I've already told you everything." Edwin looked at the red-haired witch not far away and said helplessly, "Can't you let me go? At least restore my hand to normal. You can rest assured that with your strength, I can't threaten you at all."
At this moment, Edwin's hands and feet were broken, and he was unable to move like a human pig.
The one who turned him into this was naturally the red-haired witch in front of him. At this moment, she was holding a magic wand in one hand and supporting her chin with the other. Her moving black eyes seemed to be watching, and seemed to be in deep thought.
"No, you haven't revealed the most crucial information yet." Helvinia said, "The forbidden knowledge."
"I'm not telling you for your own good," Edwin said. "Even you can't afford the price of that knowledge. The moment you know it, the eyes of the gods will fall on you."
The moment you know the information, you will be watched by the gods...
Helvinia thought the statement sounded familiar, so she asked calmly, "You have to at least tell me what it's about."
"Haha, okay." Edwin looked into Helvinia's eyes and said word by word, "Visas."
Hevinia's pupils narrowed slightly.
It is true.
Edwin caught the change in Helvinia's expression, and then revealed an expression that said "I had guessed you would have this reaction" and continued, "It seems that you know Visas...ah, it seems that I said something nonsense. After all, someone with your strength cannot not know Visas. But you only know him, and I am different. I am the person who knows him best in the world."
Hevinia subconsciously touched the bone under her ribs, thought about it, and still didn't say anything.
Edwin obviously didn't know what Helvinia was thinking, and continued, "This is information that is enough to subvert the world. It is not allowed to exist in someone's mind."
"But you know." Helvinia looked at Edwin, "and he's still alive and well."
"Of course I used some tricks." Edwin subconsciously wanted to point to his head, but his hand had been broken by Hevinia, and he grimaced in pain when he moved it a little. "I hid this knowledge in my dreams."
"In a dream?"
"Yes, you just saw it. I come from the Eternal Nightmare Cult. Dreams are our magic."
"So you conducted your research in your dreams?"
"It's not that simple." Edwin said, "Dreams are the authority of the Lord of Eternal Nightmare, so when ordinary Eternal Nightmare apostles enter dreams, they enter the dreams of the Lord of Eternal Nightmare, and the Lord of Eternal Nightmare relies on dreams to monitor all apostles. But I am different. I created a dream that is not monitored, a space that belongs to me alone, and conducted research there and learned that knowledge. Then I left that knowledge in the dream to ensure that it is not under the watchful eyes of God in reality."
Hevinia raised an eyebrow. "So you don't know what that knowledge is now?"
"You could say that only if I return to the dream world can I do this," Edwin said. "But even if I return to the dream world, I will not bring that knowledge with me. I will only plan everything in the dream world and then implement it in reality. That's how I escaped from the Eternal Nightmare."
"So what's next?" Helvinia asked again, "If you can never bring that knowledge into reality, then isn't everything meaningless?"
"I didn't say forever." Edwin said with a smile, "Everything I do now is a preparation for bringing that message to reality."
"Can you block the gods' vision?"
"Can."
"How?"
"The body parts of Visas."
Helvinia paused as she tapped her staff. "Visas's body parts?"
"Yes, Visas' body parts." Edwin said, "The gods are not affected by mortals, and Visas is not affected by the gods. If we use Visas' body parts as a medium to construct a magic circle, we can completely create a space in the real world that blocks the gods' vision. This is why I came here."
Hevinia pretended to know nothing: "Is there a piece of Visas' body here? Who has it?"
Edwin shook his head. "I don't know who has it, but I knew before I came here that the Land of Contract had summoned the eight major churches. The eight major churches must have body parts. I just need to find one."
At this point, Hevinia finally understood.
If Edwin was not lying, then this guy should be an old-fashioned man who devoted himself to the study of taboos and did not pay much attention to the real world. Otherwise, there is no reason for him not to know who Hevinia is. After all, Hevinia is the only seven-tone player in the world. In the outside world's perception, it was Hevinia who took away the body of the Holy Sound.
Of course, the outside world mentioned here also refers to the top leaders of the major churches, which is top secret information, so it is possible that Edwin does not know about it.
Of course, we cannot rule out that Edwin was lying, but the forbidden information should be true. After all, Hevinia heard about it from Bai Wei, and Bai Wei was unwilling to tell her for the same reason as Edwin. In addition, the Eternal Nightmare Apostle's pursuit of Edwin did not seem like a show.
If this was all a show for her, then it would mean that Edwin knew both the forbidden information and her location.
If that were the case, Hevinia could only think of one possibility.
That was Edwin... Bai Wei himself, who turned around and came over to tease her.
But is this really possible? Is Bai Wei that boring?
Hevinia recalled Bai Wei's bad character, and then found that it was really possible... but it was strange.
Realizing that her thoughts had wandered off a little, Hevinia immediately took a deep breath and threw away those strange thoughts in her mind. After calming down, she looked at Edwin again: "What can I do even if I find you? You can't even beat me, and you still want to snatch body parts from the high-ranking officials of the major churches?"
"My lady, you are a little too modest. What do you mean I can't even beat you?" Edwin said with a smile, "Based on the strength you just showed, there are very few people in this world who can be your opponent. I don't have much resistance in front of you."
"Not much?" Helvinia raised an eyebrow. "It seems that there is not nothing at all."
"Yes, I am not good at fighting, but since I dared to come here alone, I must have some confidence." Edwin said, "The forbidden information is my confidence. I made the information into several dream fragments, just like the ones of the apostles of my sect who came after me before. I can project the information into their heads, and they will know the truth instantly."
"And then? Will I help you if I know the truth?"
"No, if you know the truth you will die...you will be wiped out by God immediately."
Hevinia's pupils narrowed slightly.
"This is an absolute taboo. Even the most faithful believers cannot avoid it." Edwin said with a smile, "This is my trump card. As long as I have this, no matter who the opponent is or how powerful he is, I have the capital to kill him. I can even bury dream fragments in the opponent's mind but not detonate them immediately, so as to make the opponent compromise. So I am not as powerless as you think, young lady."
"Are you threatening me?"
"Not really. The methods I just mentioned have no effect on you because you have already crippled me and know the whole story. With your strength, it will be difficult for me to succeed as long as you are on guard." Edwin said very "honestly".
"I see, but how do I know how much truth you are telling me?" Helvinia said, "Wouldn't it be better if I just killed you to be on the safe side?"
"I don't think you'll kill me."
"Why?"
"Because it will make you miss the opportunity to know the truth about the world." Edwin looked at Hevinia with burning eyes, like a crazy learner. "Don't you want to know how Visas was born? Don't you want to know where Visas' power comes from? Don't you want to be... the next Visas?"
...The next Visas?
Even though she was prepared, Hevinia was still surprised when Edwin actually said this.
What on earth did this guy research?
After a moment of silence, Hevinia smiled and said, "It seems that this is another method of yours, a carrot and a stick. Especially for those who have possessed the body of Visas and know the power of Visas, this is indeed very tempting. So is this why you want to convince me to help you?"
"Indeed, young lady, you are really smart." Edwin said with a smile, "Smart and powerful, I even think that even without strength as a bargaining chip, the forbidden knowledge that can subvert the world is enough to convince you to help me. Ah, this is not me being arrogant, but from the first moment I saw you, I felt that you and I are the same kind of people."
"What kind of people?"
Edwin said word by word: "Someone who wants to overthrow the world."
After hearing this, Hevinia was silent for a full minute, then raised her staff and tapped her fingers.
After a pleasant melody, Edwin's broken limbs were instantly restored to their original state.
Edwin smiled again: "It seems we have reached a compromise."
"Why not?" Hevinia's lips curled up slightly. "If you really want to subvert the world, I'm willing to help you."
...That's strange.
Hevinia had to admit that Edwin was really good at judging people. If it were her old self, she might have agreed.
But the old her is dead, and the current her...
Hevinia gently stroked the bone under her ribs that did not belong to her, and smiled at Edwin who was extremely excited to find a similar person.
There was only one reason why she agreed to work with Edwin.
Edwin is a better bait than her, and more fish can be attracted with this bait.
Then she killed all the fish.
…
Another small town on the border of no man's land.
The town looks ordinary and doesn't even have a name, but it is the headquarters of the world's largest organization besides the eight major churches - the black business.
It took several days for Lyle to finally get here.
The moment he saw the outline of the town, his heart was filled with excitement.
This was his second time to come to this nameless town. The last time he came, he was just a small copper merchant who had to ask for help from people everywhere for some things. Although he finally got things done, his lapdog attitude at that time was still deeply imprinted in his heart.
At that time he swore that even if he had to be a dog, he would be the cruelest and most promising dog!
For example, now he became Visas' dog, and in just a few days he went from being a copper merchant who was almost beaten to death to becoming a gold merchant.
But even as a gold merchant, he is nothing compared to Visas’ dog… bah, bah, Lord Visas’ most loyal servant.
I can't always think of myself as a dog, and why didn't Lord Visas look for someone else but me? This must be because he has some special qualities that ordinary people don't have.
It seems that as long as I act honestly and safely help Lord Visas return to the world, wouldn't I be guaranteed to become the Pope?
When that time comes...
Lyle subconsciously glanced in a certain direction of the no-man's land, and then he couldn't help but humming softly as if he thought of the better life in the future.
"I noticed that you like fantasy very much."
Bai Wei's deep voice rang in Lyle's mind, scaring him so much that he almost fell off his horse.
"V, Lord Visas, you're awake." Lyle said with a stammer, "I'm already there, so what's the next step..."
"Just do as I said before." Bai Wei said calmly, "Do you want me to repeat it again?"
"Ah, no, no, no, I remember, I remember!" Lyle nodded repeatedly, "Under the pretext of needing more Contract Seeds, I found out about the transactions between the black marketeers and the Land of Contract, as well as the locations where the eight major churches held their gatherings."
Bai Wei just said "hmm" and didn't say anything else.
His setting here at Lyle was similar to that at Hevinia's place, except that he needed to rest occasionally because he lacked strength, and when he rested it would be during broad daylight.
Of course Bai Wei was not resting, but was working on three-man show.
The remaining body under the contract land, the body that had been used, and Lyle's body were operating on three lines.
However, there is not much room for maneuver for the remaining body under the contract land, after all, the troublesome big snake is still there.
The body he had been using was also brought to the side of the no-man's land. It was his most important means of output.
Finally, there was Lyle.
It has to be said that Lyle is the most worry-free partner he has ever had. He believes in his words and does whatever he wants to do. He will never go west if he wants to go east.
Moreover, he is a very pure person, without any twists and turns. He is the kind of evil person who would kick a stray dog on the roadside to death and then sell the dog meat for money.
He only cares about money and status, and has no other intentions, just like a piece of firewood soaked in dirty water.
But if that were all, Bai Wei wouldn't have come to him.
He could clearly feel that Lyle's eyes were always glancing into the no-man's land from time to time, but he said nothing and just waited quietly.
Then, they entered an unknown town.
