Constant City, Klein, who had just finished working "Human-shaped Walking Wish Machine" for the day, returned to his temporary residence, counting the "Power of Wishes" he had accumulated little by little, and assessing when it would be possible to repair this city that was severely damaged in the war.
With the desire to accumulate little things, he could only repair one house at first, then half a street, and in the end, with a snap of his fingers, the entire city could return to its intact state in an instant.
Except for the dead, they can't come back... Thinking of this, Klein sighed, piled up the various books he collected today, and prepared to sacrifice them to Gray Fog in one breath.
"Complete Guide to Intis Desserts", "Introduction to Mechanical Repair", "Train Dispatching Guide", "Ladies' Aesthetics"... Looking at the thick books, Klein felt that his future was very bleak, and he even didn't want to continue playing "Miracle Invoker".
"But to create a town with thousands of Marionette, and each Marionette has its own life, this knowledge is essential, otherwise everyone will just be a puppet on the strings of me, a history college student, and cannot make the whole city operate normally..."
He cheered himself up and dedicated professional knowledge guide books of various industries to "Fool", and then he also came to Gray Fog.
Familiar with various professional books, he made up his own "personality" for each Marionette, and designed a reasonable life trajectory for everyone to intersect... Klein roughly estimated that the entire project would take several months to complete, so he did not wait until "Miracle Invoker" was completely digested before starting, but planned to proceed step by step now.
Sitting on the high-backed chair of "Fool", he split into strips of Worm of Spirit, and transformed into clones on the seats of "Empress", "Hanged Man" and other Tarot Club members. Each of them grabbed a book and opened it.
And he himself clicked on the crimson star belonging to "Magician" Fors and began to watch the process of "Traveler" being promoted to "Secrets Sorcerer".
With the Abraham Family resources, she had prepared the corresponding materials long ago, and her own Sequence 5 Potion was also digested by Teleportation who helped carry food and rescue people time and time again during the war. After the war, she finally found an opportunity and was ready for all promotions.
In the sight of the prayer light spot, Klein saw that Fors, with the help of her teacher Dorian, successfully used the various abilities she had recorded to re-seal an Demigod creature released from Sealed Artifact "Devil Painting", achieving the ritual requirements required by "Secrets Sorcerer" - sealing an Demigod or a stronger, hostile creature. The less external force is required, the better the effect of the ritual.
Of course, the abilities recorded by the traveler himself are not included, but the sealed object of the devil oil painting itself belongs to external forces, and it is a sealed object of high status.
This caused some problems with Fors's state when she took Potion. Klein could notice the instability of her Spirituality and thoughts through Gray Fog, as if they were branches swaying randomly in the strong wind.
Fortunately, this Tarot Club member made a wish to Mr. "Fool" before the ceremony. This not only activated the prayer light spot, allowing Klein to watch the "live broadcast", but also gave him the opportunity to intervene at this time.
Boom - He tapped the table, using the personality of "Sefirah Castle" and his own Miracle Invoker ability to amplify the probability of Fors's "successful promotion".
This is what "King of Yellow and Black, who is in charge of Good Luck," should do, instead of using paper and pen to build Marionette Town... Looking at the busy clones on the side, Klein smiled self-deprecatingly. When the state of Fors in the prayer light spot stabilized, he opened his eyes that had not yet converged and overflowed Spirituality, looked around in surprise, and immediately began to pray to "Fool" to express his gratitude.
Now except "Judgment" Miss, Tarot Club has all members Demigod, plus me and Angel The two Angel finally seemed like a powerful secret organization... Just as he was feeling emotional, Fors's prayer voice came to his ears. The content made his expression change, and he was stunned on the spot.
"I heard Mr. Door's voice immediately after my promotion, and even had a conversation with him?
"His claim to be half-crazy is consistent with previous speculations, but in Roselle's diary, King of Angel behaves quite normally. Is it a disguise or a change between two states?
"He provided two ways to get himself out of trouble. One is what He told Angel before, and the other is new, which requires the use of the blood of 99 Abraham Family members Beyonder... Their family has been cursed for a thousand years, are there still so many Beyonder?
"If Bethel Abraham wanted to return to reality, he shouldn't have uttered nonsense every time the moon was full and Blood Moon, causing his descendants to die suddenly or lose control. If he didn't want to return, why was he so active when communicating with Roselle, Angel and even Fors who had just been promoted to Demigod...
"Something's wrong..."
After listening to what "Magician" Fors reported in prayer, Klein muttered to himself and fell into deep thought.
After hesitating for a moment, he summoned "Master Key", which was formed from the characteristics of the out-of-control Abraham Family member, and "Scarlet Lunar Corona", which could create a full moon, from History Void, and pressed them together.
Soon, a low roar was transmitted into his mind through Gray Fog, and this time, there was already Angel. He who controlled "Sefirah Castle" no longer had to worry about the pollution contained in it, and he quickly identified the content of the roar.
"Don't save me... don't save me..."
After a moment, this repeated roar was replaced by another voice that was a little urgent but no longer crazy:
"Help me... save me..."
The completely different content before and after sent shivers down Klein's spine. He frowned and listened carefully for half a minute before letting the two items return to Historical Void.
He was convinced at this moment that it sounded like he had fallen into madness. The roar contained the power of King of Angel. The "don't save me" that caused the descendants of Abraham to die came from the sober Bethel Abraham. The one who kept asking for help, could even communicate with others calmly, and used knowledge to exchange trust was the crazy Mr. "Door".
This is consistent with his and Angel's previous cautious speculations, but now that both of them know the existence of "Outer Deity", it has an extra layer of meaning:
Mr. Door has been contaminated and controlled by a certain Outer Deity. His request for help is essentially an attempt to bring the power of Outer Deity into Physical World. When he was awake, he said "Don't save "I" and the curse on the descendants of the blood are to cut off the possibility of being rescued, so that Abraham Family can neither collect 99 Beyonder nor own Demigod, unable to meet the requirements of the ceremony!
What a spirit of sacrifice... Klein pursed her lips and carefully drafted a reply to "Magician", asking her to selectively tell Abraham Family members these things, in order to dispel their thoughts of taking Mr. Door back and avoid "inducing Outer Deity into the trap."
Of course, as "Fool", you definitely can't reply immediately to this kind of thing, so you can leave her alone for a while.
Just when I made up my mind, another Crimson Star flashed again.
Who is it again? I am just a poor "Miracle Invoker" who is working overtime. Why should I endure so much... Klein muttered, glanced away, and immediately smiled. He clicked on the stars and listened to the prayer content of "Empress" Angel.
"Antigonus was actually released from the palace of 'Nation of the Evernight'? Are you still planning to help Church of Evernight fight against 'Rose School'? Well, maybe as Angel guessed, his sister can only surrender in the hands of Goddess...
"'Chained God' is actually God of Spiritual Objects of Second Epoch? Unexpectedly, He who disappeared from Rose Redemption was actually controlled by 'Mother Tree of Desire' and was forced to give birth to a child. The ending of choosing the wrong Pathway was too tragic... From a certain point of view, the situation of Tolzna is similar to that of Mr. Door...
"Messenger Miss agreed to fight against 'Rose School', which will help his revenge and resurrection..."
While listening to Angel's prayer, Klein murmured and quickly replied to Angel in the image of "Fool", telling her to be careful about Antigonus and not to take it lightly just because "Mother of the Sky" is under the control of the church.
After doing all this, Klein leaned back on the chair and let out a long sigh of relief.
But within a few seconds, another one of the crimson stars floating around lit up, and the circle of light representing prayer continued to spread, as if calling him to check it out.
Who is this... Klein The fists placed on the long bronze table were hardened.
He steeled himself, and after careful identification, he discovered that the person chanting Fool Honorific Name was actually "Queen Mystic". He had previously cooperated with him to destroy the George III mausoleum, and thus obtained the Bernadette Gustav of "Fool" Honorific Name.
Wasn't she tracking "King of the Five Seas" with "Balancer" Anne? Is there any new discovery?
Thinking of this, Klein became interested and clicked on the prayer light spot representing the former Intis Princess.
The figure of Bernadette dressed as a captain, Anne Gustav beside her, the luxurious captain's cabin and the scenes around "Dawn" all caught the eye of "Fool".
"... Tracked 'King of the Five Seas' Nast to a mysterious island. I hope I can provide shelter?"
After listening to Bernadette's prayer, Klein was thoughtful.
He had previously learned from Angel that the eldest daughter of Emperor Roselle went deep into the Fog Sea in order to track down Nast who was contaminated by "Mother Goddess of Depravity", and by the way, she also brought "Queen Anne's Revenge" with her. And long before that, she and "World" Gehrman Sparrow had discussed that the location of the tomb hidden by Roselle was probably deep in the Fog Sea.
Therefore, Klein has been paying attention to this matter. On the one hand, he does not want his fellow villager's daughter to suffer any accidents due to Outer Deity's pollution. On the other hand, he is also very curious about the location of Roselle's final mausoleum.
Now the two things came together. According to the previous investigation of Nast, he was probably looking for Roselle's tomb and got help from "School of Truth"... Klein thought about it and did not immediately respond to Bernadette's prayer. Instead, he cast a thought towards the star belonging to Angel.
After a while, he pulled Angel, who was tracking the whereabouts of "Rose School" in the Southern Continent, with Gray Fog.
As soon as he opened his eyes in Gray Fog, Angel found more than a dozen Klein sitting next to him. Some of them were lying on the long bronze table, feebly flipping through thick books, some were chewing on the pen in their hands, their hair was messed up by themselves, and some were writing furiously, with stacks of manuscript paper in front of them.
The only one who is free is Klein, who is in the high position of "Fool".
I thought it was hard for my Mirror Person to stay in "City of Calamity" most of the time. It seems that the squeezed clone and Marionette are still "Marionettist" is more experienced... She murmured a few words, always feeling that sooner or later one of Marionette's clones of Klein would try to overthrow his tyranny and become the master.
It wasn't until Klein relayed Bernadette's prayer to her that she put an end to this ridiculous thought in her mind.
"You mean, Emperor Roselle's final tomb may be on that island?"
