Chapter 576 Herzog: I didn’t expect that I would have a role to play
The Sanctuary is located in a secret room on the YAMAL and can only be accessed through the boss’ cabin.
A long conference table was set up under a dome inlaid with gems to resemble a starry sky. There was no one at the table, only beams of light shining down from above. In each beam of light was a laser-projected World Tree emblem. There were a total of nine emblems.
Vincent, the boss of YAMAL, is the steward of the cult-like organization of Twilight Dogma or the Far North. In name, he is the steward of the Saint, but in reality he is the manager of the Saint. However, he is also the spokesperson pushed to the front by some big shots, so his position is that of a steward.
The butler is nearly 130 years old. His skin is loose as if he had a facelift. He sits in a wheelchair with a hunched back, and his spine is as curved as a shrimp.
The butler looked at the arrogant man sitting in the seat codenamed “01”. He had a high nose and deep eyes, and was handsome and elegant. Even with a head full of silver hair, he was still strong and upright, and the curves on his face looked like they were carved by a knife.
However, the man’s only flaw is one of his arms, which is a mechanical prosthesis.
“Herzog, I didn’t expect you were still alive. Why did you come back here?” Vincent asked.
“My old friend, isn’t it a happy thing to meet old friends? You and I are not young anymore, and our friends are dying one by one.” Herzog said with a smile.
Vincent said coldly, “Who is your friend, you self-righteous devil!”
Herzog is not only the doctor of Black Swan Port, but also a member of the Far North. However, he has a cold relationship with his companions. He is an outlier and calls himself “Knight Galahad”.
Galahad is the last Knight of the Round Table, also known as the White Dragon Knight. He is the purest knight and only he can hold the Holy Grail without being punished.
Vincent has no good feelings towards Herzog. People with different ideas cannot work together. Vincent believes in the teachings of Twilight Dogma, while Herzog uses Twilight Dogma as a springboard to realize his ambitions.
“I am here on behalf of the Holy Palace Medical Association. My master has entrusted me to pass on a message – the gate to the Kingdom of God will be opened, and believers will no longer have to wait for a long time.”
Herzog suddenly said in a serious tone, taking out a token of identity proof. He observed Vincent’s reaction, who was naturally trembling with excitement, so a hint of sarcasm flashed in Herzog’s eyes.
Vincent raised his hands as if to accept something. He asked in disbelief, “Is the door to the Kingdom of God really going to be opened?”
Over the years, Vincent has been making a fortune by selling news about the Gate of the Kingdom of God, and has been running it as a business.
The nine badges of the World Tree represent nine investors, but the largest investor is still the Holy Palace Medical Society, which has invested countless billions of dollars in the Far North.
When Vincent heard that the door to the kingdom of God was about to open, he was in a trance. He actually didn’t have much hope.
The secret party thought that it was nonsense for the Twilight Dogma to follow Odin and believe that there were gods in the world, but Vincent enriched and developed new doctrines on this basis and searched for the door to the kingdom of God.
As for why the concept of the Gate of the Kingdom of God came into being, it is because the former members of Twilight Dogma had been to the Gate of the Kingdom of God, except for Vincent who was timid and afraid of death and did not go.
Later, all members of Twilight Dogma were wiped out except Maria of the Star. Maria of the Star was contaminated by something at the Gate of the Kingdom of God, which made her a “true saint” with a special mission.
“Of course, the master’s words are true, so why would he fool a mere mortal like you?” Herzog said with disdain and a bit of indescribable emotion, “Aren’t you people in the Far North always looking for the gate to the Kingdom of God? If you pass through this gate, you will walk with God and gain eternal life.”
“Now I can finally get what I want and become a slave of God… From now on, I will give up everything and crawl at His feet, enjoying eternal immortality, but also paying the price of losing my freedom.” Herzog’s ambition is to become the White King. It would be strange if he looked down on the behavior of those in the Far North who were scrambling to become God’s bootlickers.
When he thought that his target was the great White King, even Herzog, who had fled to the North Pole in disgrace, proudly straightened his chest and raised his neck like a swan.
But Herzog’s dream was completely shattered. The family fortune he had built up over decades in Japan was taken away by a woman. From then on, he had a psychological trauma towards Japan and dared not go back for the rest of his life.
But he was once the shadow monarch there, a hero who schemed against the world.
At the moment, without the skin of being the spokesperson of the Holy Palace Medical Association, Herzog is just a stray dog, and it is difficult for him to have a chance to turn things around in this life.
“The Holy Grail is needed to open the door to the Kingdom of God. She is the key to open the door to the Kingdom of God. Where is the Holy Grail now?” Herzog said as he turned his head to look at the huge oil painting on the wall. The scene in the painting was roughly the same as it is now, except that a key character is missing – Maria of the Virgin Star.
To put it simply, Star Maria once served the Third Reich, and later with the end of World War II, she came to this icebreaker to live a miserable life.
The actual situation is somewhat different. Vincent is the same age as Maria of the Star and should be very old. In Herzog’s eyes, the saint in the painting is in her prime, and from his tone, the Holy Grail, that is, the saint, should look like the one in the painting.
The girl in the oil painting has a pair of clear autumn eyes. She wears a black long skirt and a black cloak. She holds a star-like sword in her hand. She stands right below the marble altar. The dome is inlaid with crystals and filled with stars.
The girl’s heroic figure and beauty are ready to burst out, and her skirt seems to be ready to dance in the night air at any time.
Herzog looked at it with admiration in his eyes.
There is no doubt that Herzog is a despicable old bastard. No matter how arrogant his ambition is or how he plots behind the scenes, it cannot change the fact that he is a dirty, disgusting, perverted scum.
Vincent is no exception, he usually moves around in a wheelchair, but he can’t move around with his hands. If you observe carefully, you will find that there is something wrong with Vincent’s shadow, it is shaking at a certain frequency.
There are two maids hiding inside, who are also Vincent’s bodyguards. They can hide in the shadows and launch deadly sneak attacks.
If the two maids had jumped out of the shadows so that Herzog could see the whole picture, he would have found that they looked exactly like the Star Maria in the painting.
It’s very simple, they are clones of Star Maria, and this Saint is a clone who perfectly inherited the genes.
By the way, Maria of the Stars is Vincent’s wife, and Vincent, looking at the clones who look exactly like his wife when she was young, naturally invades them.
He has not made any move on the saint yet. On the one hand, the saint is an important tool for him to make money, and on the other hand, her character is not as obedient as that of the maid.
Herzog asked Vincent where the saint was. Vincent’s eyes twitched and he said that she was dancing with someone else.
