Chapter 57 The Sage and the Fat Man

Salomon did not expect that Luca would call in a few hours, but he did not doubt the clues provided by the reporter, because this guy would do anything to find out the truth now.

After he hung up the phone, he looked up at Rodin. Luca's voice was so loud that even Rodin who was standing behind the bar heard it.After the bar owner wearing sunglasses gave Salomon a chocolate sundae, he reached for the remote control in the bar. Behind the bar is the bar owner's territory. Customers cannot reach out casually. This is the rule of Hell's Gate Bar.

"I am now standing in front of the Izavel Tower in Vigrid, the holy land of Ragnarism. It is said that this year is the day of the advent of Jubileus, the creator of Ragnarism's main god, once every 500 years. Believers around the world are celebrating Easter. , cheering for it." The small LCD TV hanging on the wall in the bar switched to the wnn world news channel. The host's voice was explaining. The screen was full of Ragnar believers wearing gold-rimmed white robes, holding their hands on their chests. , facing the same direction; then the screen turned, and the screen was full of Ragnar priests. Their clothes were also white, but without hoods. On the front of the tall and wide white hats, there was a golden sun. logo.

fake news Salomon curled his lips.

The history of the Ragnar Order may not have passed its second 500 years, and this Easter may be at short notice, but those Ragnar believers still believe in it.A young religion actually has such influence. This is probably why the Supreme Mage decided to conceal the existence of gods and demons. Otherwise, the fragile human mind would not be able to resist the temptation of faith.Although some young people do not believe in religion, they will forward some superstitious things on social media, which is also a manifestation of filling the gap in belief.

Faith is like poison. This is Salomon's idea, so he will not believe in anything. He cannot stand the feeling that his mind is controlled by others.

"But on the other hand, people are committing suicide one after another in order to praise the coming of the Lord God. Yesterday, the high priest of Ragnar Cult and more than 20 believers committed suicide collectively, and the church where their bodies were placed was destroyed by unknown persons. Countries regard this incident as an abnormal situation , asking the Ragnarians to remain calm."

What appeared on the screen was the church that Bayonetta and Salomon had gone to last night, but perhaps because the church was in such terrible condition now, the pictures shown on the TV were of the church when it was still intact.

"It's none of my business. It was the big guy who did it." Bayonetta put her chin on her hands and said, "That's why the little wild cat asked us to watch TV."

Salomon shook his head, "Maybe it hasn't been played yet. You know, even the live broadcast is delayed, maybe because the signal in this demiplane is not good. Mr. Rodin, I am definitely not speaking ill of you. , please don’t take away my ice cream.”

"The president of the Izavel Group, who actually controls this religious city, appears in front of the public for the first time."

Rodin promptly offered Bayonetta an apple martini cocktail, "There is a lot of commotion in the human world."

"It's so stupid." Enzo's chubby hand, covered with jewel rings, was waving whiskey, and his cigar had been forcibly extinguished by Rodin when Salomon walked in.He said, "I sacrificed my life to bring the gods back, but it was only because of these fools that my business was built."

"Ah, you are paid to arrange funerals for others. You are not a good person." Rodin fully expressed his disdain for Enzo.But Enzo was not in any way offended by Rodin's mood.On the contrary, Salomon was very satisfied with Enzo. Although this guy was fat, greedy for money, and liked to show off his wealth, his spirit was free and he had not been kidnapped by religion.

So he was very moved and ordered another sundae, which was recorded in Enzo's account. Rodin also welcomed this behavior. Enzo always liked to owe wine money, and this sundae could be regarded as interest.Anyway, Enzo couldn't remember exactly how much he owed Rodin for the wine. It didn't matter if it was more.

"I have always been a good citizen, as long as I have money." The intelligence merchant turned around and said, the huge ruby ​​ring on his little finger still shining in the dim light, "Only people with conscience don't want to deal with these idiots." Where are the sick believers? Tell me, isn’t what I do charity? Hahaha.”

"Then you should donate money to the church." Bayonetta said while holding the wine glass. Rodin's wine always suited her taste. "Pay me as soon as possible, Enzo."

Although Enzo wanted to resist, he even tried to excuse Bayonetta by saying that she hunted angels for entertainment, but he never succeeded, and it was the same this time.He said, "If you hadn't messed up the cathedral, my reward would have been more than that. Please think of me, Bayonetta."

The noisy routine at Hell's Gate Bar didn't last long before it was interrupted again by the sound from the TV.Even though the volume was not loud, the noisy cheers still attracted the attention of everyone in the bar.

"It's him, Badr, the president of the Izavel Group, who finally showed up. Even if we talk about the huge wealth brought by the Izavel Group and the economic development of supporters of Vigrid, it is not an exaggeration. Surrounding the cultist Badr, Maybe it can solve these suicides."

The camera moved to a building of unknown location. Based on the decorative style in the picture, with those golden ray patterns that imitated the sun's rays, anyone could tell that it was a building of the Ragnar Order.Then the camera switched, and a white platform appeared on the screen. This platform had a shape as if the legs of a backrest chair were removed. The white surface was decorated with many golden lines; at the highest point of the platform, there were two golden circles. rings and a semi-circular ring, nested from small to large.Many golden spears protrude from the center of the circle. The spears on the x-axis and the positive y-axis are the longest, and the second longest are two rays at a 45-degree angle. In addition, there are some golden spikes of different lengths. .

A man in a gorgeous white robe was standing on the stage.

"This is the guy who paid this time," Enzo pointed at the TV and shouted.The people in the picture are dressed even more religiously than Salomon. The white high-collar robe has red piping, and there is even a white peacock with a purple crown on the shoulder. The peacock head is on the left shoulder and the peacock tail is on the right shoulder. , wearing a sun-shaped watch on his right chest.Enzo said, "This man is the leader of the Ragnar cult, and he has not shown his face in front of the people yet. But this time he appears on Easter every 500 years. Some people say that they don't know if he is still alive after the last Easter." Alive or not.”

Salomon narrowed his eyes. Of course, Baldur was still alive 500 years ago, because he was the Lumen Sage and possessed the power of an angel. With such power, it would be easy for a person to live for 500 years.The guy on TV with his white hair combed back and a golden mask on the left half of his face is the Baldur mentioned by the Supreme Mage.

"What the Izavel Group possesses is the most cutting-edge technology that cannot be seen in this ancient religious city. The believers regard these as miracles." Enzo's explanation continued.But what he said next were things that Bayonetta already knew, such as the information that Baldr was the last of the sage family.

Duplicate intelligence is worthless, which makes Enzo's plan to delay repayment fail again.

"He paid Bayonetta's reward. If this is the case, yesterday's church might have been a trap, and the powerful angel might have been sent by him." Salomon asked, "But Bayonetta was unscathed. It’s to capture Bayonetta, shouldn’t he send someone more powerful?”

"We don't know what Badr is thinking," Rodin said. "So far, we can only take action based on the situation."

Salomon nodded and sighed, "This is the only way. I will return to Karma Taj and report this matter to the Supreme Mage. During this time, Bayonetta will come up with the exact solution. You'd better hunt less angels. No one knows if it's Balder's trap. Bayonetta"

The witch seemed to have lost consciousness, and then Salomon, who had a keen sense of hearing, could even hear a "pop" sound. She took out a tube of lipstick wrapped in brass from the bottomless ravine on her chest.Bayonetta twisted off her lipstick, and a cold air filled the air.

"Is this what you took with you when you woke up?" Rodan asked.

"Correct."

"Doesn't this thing remind you of anything?"

"Yes."

"You can show it to the mystic." Rodan pointed to Salomon beside him. "I don't know the spell above, but maybe there are clues in Kamathaj's library. If you know this thing Maybe I can recall something."

Bayonetta is now more and more interested in Baldr.Because just now, Badr suddenly looked at the news footage in the distance, as if he was looking at the witch in front of the TV.And he also said something that no one except Bayonetta heard.That sentence caused a series of memories to flood into Bayonetta's mind. She seemed to be in a tower and forest in flames, and the scorching heat surrounded her; she saw peacock feathers floating in the air, stretching out from behind for many days. The man in white, and the feathers that fall to the world like snow.

"I'm waiting for you, dear daughter"

The witch is like a powerful enemy.But everything in the scene was as usual. It seemed that the man named Badr did not turn around and say those words. Everything was Bayonetta's hallucination.Except for her, no one else watching the TV noticed anything unusual at all.

Why did Baldur call her this? Salomon said that there was only one person left in the sage and witch clans, but due to the scarcity of information, no one knew whether Baldur and Bayonetta were related.

"I'm going home. My sons said they wanted to celebrate my birthday." Enzo drank the wine in the glass and stood up from his seat.

"You're not going to pay today either."

"Thank you for your birthday gift to me, Rodin." Enzo walked out swaggeringly, "If there is any work entrustment, I will contact you."

"Damn dead fat pig"

"ciao~"
