In order to avoid accidents and not wanting to keep Bernadette waiting for a long time, Klein sent "Magic Wishing Lamp" back to "Queen Mystic" who had just been promoted to Sequence 2. Of course, it was with the excuse that "Miss Empress has been used up". After all, how could the distinguished Mr. "Fool" be interested in a mere Grade 0 Sealed Artifact?

Then, he asked Grey Fog Space to present the living room environment of Daffodil Street 2 that the two were more accustomed to. The two sat on the sofa and reviewed the exchange with "Genie" just now.

"Actually, I'm really interested. Although that Sealed Artifact is also made with the 'Miracle Invoker' characteristic of Sequence 2, the wish made to it will obviously be amplified by 'Genie', and its ability to fulfill wishes may be stronger than that of Sequence 1's 'Mystic Seer'."

Klein, who replaced the "Fool" brand and restored his black-haired and brown-eyed image, said with some regret.

He knew that "Magic Wishing Lamp", code-named 0-05, had a fatal problem. Although it claimed to be able to fulfill any ten wishes of the holder, only the first two were safe, and before the death of the previous holder, even if the person who borrowed the magic lamp made a wish, it would be recorded on the heads of both the original holder and the person who made the wish.

In this case, if Angel or "Fool" really uses 0-05 to make two wishes, then Bernadette that has consumed one wish will be equivalent to using "Magic Wishing Lamp" three times. Among the dozens of previous holders, no one has escaped the resulting Misfortune.

It seems that after getting help from "Fool" and "Empress" and meeting her father, her trust in us has reached a new level, which is equivalent to putting her life in the hands of others... Klein sighed with emotion, glanced at Angel who was also thoughtful, gathered his thoughts and said:

"It seems that Genie's fear of that 'Celestial Worthy' has reached an instinctive level. I originally wanted to take this opportunity to get some information out, but I didn't expect that he would have suspected it..."

He was still very upset about being deceived by the other party in the conversation just now.

"Genie is also the personality of Great Old One. Although his power remains outside the barrier, his brain is still there. Moreover, he has been sealed for thousands of years. Inside the magic lamp, he must always be thinking about how to escape, and he has a clear understanding of his enemies."

Angel comforted, then changed the subject:

"What do you think of His three suggestions? Will a Outer Deity's suggestions for us inside the barrier be kind?"

"Believe it, but only half-believe it."

Klein said, waving his hand to make the parchment with the three suggestions of Genie appear on the coffee table in front of them.

"His biggest purpose must be to get out of trouble, and to get out of trouble as soon as possible. He even doesn't hesitate to remind us that Apocalypse is likely to arrive earlier than the 1368 year pointed by all prophecies."

He pointed to the first and shortest piece of advice.

Angel nodded and said:

"I guess that He thinks that when Apocalypse arrives and many Great Old One invade the earth, something bad will happen to Him before he is out of trouble... such as 'Nation of Disorder' and 'Uncertain Mist' outside the stars. E' part will no longer belong to Him? The other Great Old One will not only snatch the Sefirah and Beyonder Characteristic of the earth, but also covet the property of those companions in trouble?"

"They may not be companions, and may even have conflicts of interest." Klein said with a firm tone, "I have studied the belief of 'Primordial Moon', and it shows two very different powers at different times, one part is 'desire', and the other part is 'reproduction' and 'rebirth'."

"Mother Tree of Desire and Mother Goddess of Depravity are not only cooperating to use 'Primordial Moon' to erode into the barrier, but they are also competing with each other for this part of their faith?"

Angel suddenly realized why "Primordial Moon" believers include "Rose School" Indulgence Faction like "Prisoner" Pathway, and "School of Life" defected to the past "Moon" Pathway Beyonder.

But the "desire" thing reminded her of the time when Klein was asked to pretend to be Admiral Amyrius in Oravi Island, and was almost attacked at night by the mistress Cynthia who was contaminated by "Mother Tree of Desire", as well as what she saw in her dream. She felt quite bold at the time, but now she felt a little conservative in her posture, and her cheeks were a little warm.

Humanity is very rich, this is all my efforts...Klein guessed what Angel was thinking as soon as he saw his red face, smiled half proudly and half teasingly, and continued:

"Yes, so I think the Outer Deitys are not monolithic. Although their primary purpose is to break through the barrier and enter the earth, if a temporary ally becomes weak, the other Great Old Ones don't mind taking action on him first.

"It is precisely for this reason that Genie hopes to get out of trouble as soon as possible, regain his power, and return to the table to share the earth's sumptuous dinner, instead of becoming a dish himself."

As he spoke, he put a check mark next to the piece of advice that said, "Do whatever you want to do as soon as possible." Then he looked at the second piece of advice that told them to be careful about the "Uncertain Mist" action.

"As for this one, Genie seems to be worried that the power of the part of him left in the starry sky called 'Uncertain Mist' will give birth to independent consciousness and become dominant, but I found that there is a more important hint hidden inside."

Klein stretched out his finger and pointed at the parchment, landing on "Trying to unite other Great Old One".

"What's wrong with this sentence? "Angel asked in confusion, "Judging from the situation of Nast, at least 'Mother Goddess of Depravity' has certain cooperation with 'Uncertain Mist'. They both have Sefirah within the barrier. Compared with other Great Old One, they are more eager to come to the earth."

"The issue is the sincerity of the cooperation."

Klein said with a smile, leaning on the back of the chair and changing into a comfortable position.

"'Uncertain Mist' is only a part of 'Son of Chaos', and its strength must be lower than the other Great Old One. The biggest reason why it was not divided but became a collaborator, I think, is that it has enough power to maintain fair transactions or cooperation."

"Sefirah?"

Angel asked subconsciously, then shook his head.

"No, 'Nation of Disorder' is already within the barrier... is it the authority symbolized by a certain Pathway of Outer Deity?"

"Bingo! "Klein used a word that only time travelers could understand, "Do you still remember what the 'King of the Five Seas' said when Bernadette was tracking Nast and when Intis's Leusel Harbor was ambushed?"

Angel nodded and said as if recalling:

"He mentioned a fair transaction that has enough power to maintain both parties without violating the contract. The 'Uncertain Mist' that the 'broker' believes in can ensure that he gets what he wants..."

Her eyes lit up and she realized something.

"... You mean that the Outer Deity Pathway contained in the part of 'Son of Chaos' left in the starry sky has authority similar to that of 'Notary', which enables both parties to the transaction to abide by the agreement?"

"It's probably not just two parties, but a multi-party transaction..." Klein said uncertainly, and then shook his head, "In short, if 'Uncertain Mist' has such authority, it can guarantee that Outer Deity will reach a certain level of cooperation that will not betray easily, and this is undoubtedly the worst news for the earth."

"The same goes for Genie himself. He seems to be very unwilling to see 'Uncertain Mist' take the initiative to cross the barrier and enter the earth, so as to lead the fusion of the two parts. By then, he will only have spirit and consciousness without the corresponding power. Instead, he will become the nourishment of 'Uncertain Mist' and complete this part of the starry sky."

Angel speculated on the reason why Genie made the second suggestion.

This may allow the Earth to take a little initiative, such as letting the "Son of Chaos" fused with Uncertain Mist take the initiative to give up invading the Earth on the condition of returning it to the starry sky.

If He is the basis for all Outer Deitys to cooperate, maybe this can make the "Outer Deity Alliance" fall apart. Although the earth still has to face eight Great Old Ones, they are eight scattered, not eight united... She thought about it for a while, but instinctively felt that such a thing was impossible, and sighed regretfully.

Seeing Klein put a question mark next to the second suggestion, Angel's eyes moved to the last one, which was also the suggestion that had the greatest relationship with her.

That is the interpretation of "Red Priest" Pathway.

The terms "War of Red" and "sacrificial person of the origin of power" were mentioned by Angel in a diary of Roselle. It was shortly after he joined "Twilight Hermits Society" that he and A conversation between Hermes, who created Ancient Hermes, was Hermes's analysis of the reasons why this Pathway Sequence 0 is not high-end and classy enough.

But when Great Old One said it again, it gave Angel a different feeling.

Excluding the possibility of Genie defrauding me, does he think that the special nature of "Red Priest", Pathway, is possible, and it is possible to obtain the complete Sefirah in advance before the barrier of "Celestial Worthy" sealing Western Continent is released? Does it only refer to "City of Calamity" to which Red Priest belongs, or all seven copies of Sefirah?

Her thoughts whirled and her eyes lost focus. She sat on the sofa as if she had been transformed into "Marionette". Seeing this, Klein knew that Angel had entered a thinking state, so she did not rush to rush him. Instead, she sat quietly searching for any information that could help the other party.

He also thought about the conversation between Hermes and Roselle, and thought that someone else in Twilight Hermits Society mentioned that "Red Priest" might refer to the priest of Original Creator.

Ask the leader of that organization Adam? If I directly pronounce His name in reality, the "Visionary" might come to me and answer all my questions with a smile. The only question is whether I can listen to the answer before taking out the monocle and wearing it on my right eye...

But who knows better about this than He?

"Death" Salinger, which accommodated Red Priest Uniqueness, had long since fallen after Pale Calamity, and the backhand of the resurrection was also used by Goddess was dismantled; "Blood Emperor" Tudor died in Four Emperors War, Beyonder Characteristic were all divided up, and it is almost impossible to resurrect...

Suddenly, he thought of a person, or rather, an evil spirit.

Klein raised his head and found that Angel was also looking at him with burning eyes.

They spoke a name at the same time:

"Medici?"
