"It turns out to be you."

This Demigod stared at Klein with majestic eyes until the latter felt uncomfortable all over and could not help but murmur in his heart.

"I also received a moderate bounty from your military in Bayam, and it can be regarded as something worthwhile. I haven't even had time to reimburse any expenses in the newly established informant relationship. You don't need to pretend like you know me... Well, but maybe the fact that I killed pirates on the street has reached the ears of this admiral?"

The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became. He looked at the other party despite Demigod's pressure, and found that Emilius nodded and returned to his desk.

"The plan goes as usual, you completely transform into me, ha, I know you can do it."

Tracy... I just killed her third officer, and she leaked the news that I could become Helene. Fortunately, Angel often changes his appearance, so most people don't know that the person next to me is 'Angelica'..."

After thinking for a moment, Klein nodded slightly and turned his face sideways to prevent the other party from seeing the crawling skin and granulation on his face. He deliberately waited for a few more seconds, as if he could barely change his appearance, and then turned back and looked at Navy Admiral Emilius.

His face has completely transformed into the other person's shape.

Before entering the door, he had already adjusted his height and body shape. He originally wanted to pretend to be the "tramp who is eighty-nine points similar to the general" that Biert was looking for, but he didn't expect to be exposed by Demigod who could tell whether others were Beyonder.

"Not bad, not bad," a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. Emilius approached again, admiring his face that looked like someone else's. His serious face and downturned mouth corners softened, "You know what I want, right?"

"For more than three days and within five days, completely pretend to be Your Excellency, participate in various social activities and deal with various interpersonal relationships according to the provided schedule. During this period, you cannot take the initiative to expose your identity, do anything that is not conducive to that identity, and cannot have any contact with the people around you beyond the scope of the entrustment."

Klein had already obtained the other party's information and "entrustment requirements" and answered immediately without hesitation.

These are very reasonable requests, especially the last point, which he believed the admiral was specifically referring to: his beloved mistress, Cynthia, who was hiding in the golden house of Oravi Island.

"Yes, but since you are Beyonder, we still need to sign a contract."

With that said, Emilius returned to the desk, picked up the pen and paper, lowered his head and started writing. Whenever the tip of the pen touched the paper, golden light burst out from it, making the general's figure taller and more majestic.

This scene... is somewhat similar to what Angel described when he signed the contract with Anne. Is Emilius the Demigod of "Arbiter" Pathway? This is in line with the Potion Pathway mastered by the royal family, and also means that this general is Demigod trained by the royal family. But why did he come to this island again to hide the "disappearance" of others for several days?

Squinting his eyes, he resisted the pressure of the golden light and observed the other person, Klein was constantly thinking in his mind.

After an unknown amount of time, Emilius stopped writing, and asked Biert, who was kneeling on one knee, to stand up, take the contract, and hand it to Klein.

The latter lowered his head and studied the terms carefully, and found that they were nothing more than refinements of the requirements just mentioned, such as not leaving Oravi Island, not using his status as an admiral for personal gain, etc.

But there was no mention of reward... He looked doubtfully at Bilt Brando who invited him. The leader of Adventurers' Mutual Aid Society had just been beaten by the admiral. At this time, his face was full of a flattering smile. He whispered:

"The balance is also paid by us."

Klein nodded, no longer doubting, and signed the name Gehrman Sparrow.

Similar to when signing a messenger contract, after using this pseudonym for a period of time, it will point to yourself in similar contracts, and it will not become invalid because it is not your real name.

As the paper faded and disappeared, golden brilliance enveloped Klein and Emilius, and the contract was established.

Subsequently, this "Arbiter" Demigod gave Klein a Charm made with his blood and royal "0" level Sealed Artifact. This "Ninth Law" Charm has a copy of Emilius The effect of Intimidation force can make Klein the same as Demigod himself when controlling his subordinates and issuing orders. It is difficult for ordinary people and Beyonder to detect it. Moreover, at critical moments, it can be used as a disposable item to impose certain designated restrictions on the enemy. The effect is the same as the "Prohibition" released by Demigod.

"If it ends smoothly and no accidents happen, you can keep this Charm. It is valid for one year."

After saying this, Emilius began to unbutton the cufflinks of the general's uniform and loosen the belt of his military trousers.

Klein glanced at Biert beside him. The latter was looking out the window intently, studying the shrubs in the garden. He twitched the corner of his mouth and took off his windbreaker.

After a moment, he completely transformed into the majestic Navy Admiral, while Emilius wore a windbreaker and a silk top hat, restraining his majesty, like the Loen Gentlemen that can be seen everywhere on the street.

After taking a satisfied look at his new image in the mirror, Emilius, led by Bilt Brando, left the study, passed through the remote path in the garden, opened the back door of the Governor's Palace, and went straight to Oravi Harbor not far away.

"Come... Sir, we have prepared three days of food and water here. Do you really not need me to help you prepare a boat?" Sailor are absolutely reliable people. "

"Unnecessary."

Emilius replied calmly, taking the waterproof bag from Biert's hand and hanging it on his body.

"You go back first and pay attention to the news about Sparrow, but you are not allowed to have contact with him until I come back."

After sending the other party away, Emilius looked at the still busy night scene on the dock. He took out a dark blue ring from his inner pocket and put it on his finger. Then, his exposed skin gradually became covered with crystal clear Illusory Scales, like a mermaid in the night.

When he plunged into the sea, the admiral suddenly remembered that he seemed to have forgotten to add a constraint to the contract, prohibiting Adventurer, who was rumored to be crazy, from having an intimate relationship with his mistress.

"Forget it, this guy must not dare to mess around. Although he acted crazy, he did not resist forcefully under my pressure. This shows that he is a person who knows how to assess the situation. This kind of person knows what can be done and what cannot be done..."

Making an excuse for his carelessness, a string of bubbles appeared from the gills next to Emilius's face, and golden light flashed across his body. The seawater that was close to the skin and had great resistance was repelled, and his diving speed became several times faster, as if he was flying in the sea.

His direction points directly to Bodo Port in the southwest.

Recalling the contents of the document in his mind, thinking about "how he should deal with it if it were the admiral himself", Klein tried his best to send away the guests who came forward, and after dealing with Emilius's younger brother who seemed to be hiding some secret, Olavi Governor Oston Livett, while eating the buffet, he did not forget the difference in habits and tastes between the two. After choosing dishes that he did not like but that the Admiral loved very much, he finally left the Governor's Mansion and returned to the Admiral's private residence on the island.

On the carriage, he also had to face his personal secretary Lü'er An, who was most likely to see through his disguise. Unlike Emilius's brother and mistress, the latter had a real motive to report it to the military and the royal family if he discovered any problems.

Relatives and lovers tend to help him cover up.

Until he stood at the door of the mansion, Klein was still recalling the account sheet Lü'er An handed him.

What about a 1-pound roll of toilet paper, a bathhouse that was renovated dozens of times a year, and cost thousands of pounds, which was worthy of being copied by the army of a certain country on earth... He mumbled silently while watching the housekeeper open the door and enter the mansion surrounded by servants.

Before he could take a good look at the decoration and furnishings in the mansion, a beautiful Miss, about twenty years old, wearing conservative clothes, came up to him.

Her long blond hair hangs down to her waist, there seems to be a hidden light in her blue eyes, and she has a light, girlish smile on her face. She is Emilius's mistress here, Cynthia.

The test is coming!

Klein tensed his nerves.

In his expectation, it would be almost impossible for the guests at the banquet, the soldiers at the naval base, and the servants in the mansion to see through his disguise. Faceless's performance was almost flawless, and even if there were some flaws, these servants would only think that they had seen it wrong or misremembered, instead of suspecting that the admiral was no longer the original admiral.

Only Olavi, Governor Auston, personal secretary Lü'er An, and mistress Cynthia, because they have been together for a long time and are extremely familiar with the general, are likely to discover problems.

The most difficult one to deal with was the personal secretary, and the one who embarrassed Klein the most was undoubtedly Cynthia in front of him.

She dressed conservatively to take care of Emilius's unwillingness to show her charming side to others. She seemed to have no makeup, but in fact, her whole body was carefully taken care of. She used Emilius's favorite scent for shampoo, and even her eyelashes were smoother than ordinary people... The ability of "Faceless" allowed Klein to analyze a lot in the moment they met and made the most timely response.

A smile appeared on his face, diluting the seriousness he always displayed. He opened his arms and faced Cynthia, but his eyes stopped on the other person's long golden hair.

The length is just right, but if it were a little lighter, it would be...

Carefully arranging her long pale blond hair in front of the half-length mirror in the bathroom, Angel picked out one of them and straightened it, measured it with her fingers, and found that it was several centimeters longer than last month.

"Strange, does Demoness's hair grow very fast? Looking back, it seems that every Demoness I have ever seen has long hair, even Tracy who only likes men's clothing. Is it because they have long discovered that there is no point in cutting it short?"

After traveling here for half a year, she has already become accustomed to the female body. She did not act pretentious, but put on her nightgown with natural movements, tied up her hair, left the bathroom, and returned to the deserted living room.

"Now Klein should have started to play the role of the general and lived in the military camp... I wonder if he is used to the life there?"

Looking at the military port on the seaside with the moonlight outside the window, she thought blankly.
