In the fog, everything seemed to have stopped.

A bee swayed her wings and stopped a few inches above a flower, ready to fall.

Gu Qingshan stood in the middle of the garden, holding a sword in one hand and a rice cooker in the other, and said tentatively:

"This fog... seems very familiar?"

In the fog, a female voice sounded: "Of course I am familiar with it, you have never seen me like this."

Xie Shuangyan appeared in the fog.

"Why are you here?" Gu Qingshan asked.

"I am the charity ambassador of the League of Nations. Not long ago, I donated 300 schools and twenty churches to the Holy Kingdom." Xie Shuangyan said.

"So they welcome you?"

"I was welcomed by the emperor and the church - after all, I also have a huge reputation among the people."

"Then why do you still need this fog?"

"To conceal the identity—"

Xie Shuangyan said, snapping her fingers casually.

In the void behind Gu Qingshan, a battle flag suddenly appeared quietly, emitting a faint glow.

A line of small words of fireflies appeared in front of him quickly:

"You discovered a certain apostle from the Four Holy Era, and she is proving her identity."

Gu Qingshan finished his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief.

He put away the rice cooker and smiled and said, "It turns out that it's his own person, why didn't you say it earlier?"

"It's not that I don't believe you, but once the secret is told, there is a possibility of being leaked. In that case, my safety will become a problem." Xie Shuangyan said.

"Why are you here to see me now? Do you know I will appear?" Gu Qingshan asked.

"Yes, you are constantly changing everything on the main timeline, which will eventually attract evil deeds." Xie Shuangyan said.

"They have just turned into a sequence of demon kings, so it is not easy to descend." Gu Qingshan said.

"Don't be careless - in the future, you are the only one who delays their victory, but they have never been defeated once in the war." Xie Shuangyan said.

"—I still want to save the king of the Holy Kingdom." Gu Qingshan said.

"Do you know the background of the Holy Church?"

"...I don't know very well. I heard Su Xueer say once that the Pope seems to be a person from Kirishima."

"She did stay in Kirishima for a while, but she actually has another identity."

“What is it?”

"It is the spy who has been placed in this long river of purgatory."

"Purgatory... I have some acquaintances." Gu Qingshan said.

"Don't worry about purgatory, and don't provoke them - actually what I want to say is that our battle with evil demons is at a critical moment. Even if you want to save the emperor, try not to let purgatory get any information." Xie Shuangyu reminded.

"I understand, they are peepers hiding in the dark." Gu Qingshan said.

"Yes, I'm here to tell you about this. Now that the matter has been explained clearly, I will leave soon." Xie Shuangyan said.

"Aren't you going to help?" Gu Qingshan asked.

"I can't reveal my identity - after all, I don't have much power to protect myself yet. If I am discovered, there will be only a dead end." Xie Shuangyan said.

She reached out and threw it gently.

A trace of afterimage flew out of her hand and flew to Gu Qingshan.

Gu Qingshan took it, but it was a card.

Xie Shuangyan said: "I have been weak for too long, and I have only this card left on my body. Now I lend it to you - after the matter is over, it will come back to me."

Gu Qingshan said: "Thank you."

Xie Shuangyan nodded, slowly retreated, and gradually disappeared into the fog.

The fog has dissipated.

Gu Qingshan looked down at the card in his hand.

I saw a woman drawing on the card. She poured the ancient water bottle in her hand downwards, and a stream of water suddenly turned into a dazzling river that flowed endlessly, extending to the distant end.

Lines of small words of fireflies suddenly appeared on the God of War interface:

"You've obtained the card: Endless Grass."

"Activate this card and enter your draw session immediately."

"—You can draw cards until you get a card that best suits the current situation, and the session will automatically end."

Gu Qingshan looked at it for a while, then put away the ground sword and activated the card directly.

The entire card suddenly turned into a soft halo, attached to his right hand.

A line of small words in fireflies jumped out quickly:

"Into the card draw stage, please draw cards."

Gu Qingshan reached out and pulled out a card in the void.

He spread his hands and looked over one by one, and saw that there were more than twenty cards.

The colorful cards seem to come from different decks, including melee, status, range, exploration, tracking, concealment, prediction, law of cause and effect, law of nature, strangeness, and other types.

Gu Qingshan looked at the card in his hand and shook his head.

——No of these cards is suitable for use at this moment.

He threw away the cards and they disappeared into the void immediately.

Gu Qingshan continued to draw cards.

This time I drew more than thirty cards.

He looked carefully and picked out a card from it.

The card depicts a man in formal clothing and masked head, knocking on a door, while he was carrying a bouquet of flowers and a dagger in the hand behind him.

"Card: Destined Guest."

"Cause and Effect Card."

"Activate this card and you will automatically obtain a convincing identity to accomplish what you are about to complete."

Gu Qingshan stared at the card and sighed:

"This is also called 'no power to protect yourself', 'weaked for too long'? It's so humble."

He activated the card directly.

Bang!

A fog flashed by.

He turned directly into a middle-aged man with a big belly, wearing a mustache, a black top hat on his head, a suitable holy noble costume, and a short scepter in his hand.

Gu Qingshan closed his eyes and breathed a few times, and soon gained a memory.

He walked forward along the garden path with a scepter and finally entered the palace.

A guard immediately came up, looked at him in surprise, and saluted:

"Master Earl."

Gu Qingshan nodded and asked, "Where is our Majesty?"

Another voice sounded: "Originally you said you wanted to rush back, but Your Majesty left the chess and card room - have you not returned?"

Gu Qingshan turned his head and saw that this was a close servant.

He is responsible for many things around the emperor.

"Ah, my subordinates said just now that everything was done, there is no need to let me go there in person." Gu Qingshan said with an earl's expression.

"So that's it. Please come with me. Your Majesty is having tea and meet a few nobles who have been waiting for a long time." said the nearby servant.

"Excuse me."

Gu Qingshan followed the nearby servant and walked slowly in the long corridor.

——He is now a real power figure in the empire, a partner who grew up with the emperor, a loyal royal confidant, and a great count who holds real power.

Gu Qingshan took a random look and soon noticed that there were several high-level professionals hidden in the entire palace.

These people are almost all of the world's top standards. If they are serious, they are no match for the three generals of the Federation.

——Fortunately, I have this identity as a cover-up, otherwise it would be a bit troublesome to use my own level of Qi refining at the seventh level.

Not long after, a guard suddenly trotted and whispered: "The Pope is here, I want to see Your Majesty."
