After discovering that the target of "Mother Tree of Desire" was himself, Klein's thinking suddenly became much clearer.
The opponent's design was perfect, and because all the executors thought it was for "Emilius", my excellent performance of "Faceless" did not show any flaws, but instead became my own shackles. Even the divination failed to find the problem... He reflected on the experience of the past few days, and his back felt cold under the general's uniform.
Before accepting this commission, Klein performed a divination on Gray Fog to eliminate interference as usual, and concluded that playing "Emilius" would not pose any danger to him, so he happily came and earned a reward of 1,000 pounds.
Is Gray Fog being interfered with in a way that I am not aware of? Or maybe being the favored one of "Mother Tree of Desire" is not considered to be in "danger"?
The most important thing is that this matter was solved easily and without any damage by him and Angel?
Of course, part of the reason for this is that I am no longer as innocent as when I first came to this world. I have not been tempted by Cynthia. I even ignored her in the dreams caused by desire...
The quick arrival of Angel and the Anne's Blood in her hand made the pollution planned by "Mother Tree of Desire" a joke.
Judging from the results, Grey Mist's divination result "will not cause danger" is indeed correct. Except for the small injury on my shoulder and the fact that the precious "Ninth Law" Charm was not left behind, I suffered no losses at all. It even enhanced the experience of playing "Faceless"...
If there is interference from some force, then...Angel and I will not be "arranged" by someone again, right?
His mind was gradually filled with a paste called doubt. He was unable to draw a conclusion for the time being, and he didn't want to make Flett Ken in front of him wait too long, so he said:
"Besides the recent incident, what other things have you done that violate the laws of the kingdom and go against the customs?"
Fu Wright was startled by the sudden relaxation of the question, and his originally flustered expression took on a hint of flattery.
Is this Navy Admiral Regeneration angry? He thinks it's not worth being hostile to "Rose School" or "Mother Tree of Desire" over a mistress?
He asked me if I had violated the law. Was he planning to make me his "Black Glove" and do some dirty work that was inconvenient for the secretary just now?
Thinking that he had escaped, Fu Wright's mind began to become more active. Even his depressed spirit improved a little, and he began to introduce his crimes in recent years.
Worried that "Emilius" thought he was not capable enough, he did not hide anything and even exaggerated a bit.
What Execution traitorous believers skinned them alive and cut off all the bulges on their bodies; who used the sect's concept of "liberating nature" as an excuse to defile many ladies; who murdered entire families, even the children, in order to seize property...
As he told the story in a more embellished way, he was delighted to see a satisfied smile on the face of the Navy Admiral in front of him.
"Okay, that's enough."
Klein said with a smile, but his eyes were cold.
He stood up from behind the table and came to Fu Wright who was still kneeling on the ground. He raised his left hand. The palm of his black leather glove slowly split open, forming a translucent mouth several times larger than his palm. Inside, there were two rows of illusory teeth like spikes from hell.
"Ah..."
A short scream echoed in the study, but it was blocked inside by the barrier set by Lü'er An and did not come out at all.
It was not until "Creeping Hunger" had a full meal that Klein silently picked up the Beyonder Characteristic belonging to "Lunatic" on the ground. He used the flame to burn away the remaining pieces of clothing, and ignited a Paper Figurine, annihilating everything that happened in the study. Then he pulled the bell and let the blond secretary waiting outside the door lift the ban and enter the room.
"Go ahead and ask the naval base to cooperate with the Olavi police system to clear out the 'Naturism Sect' cultists across the island. It is best to catch the 'Rose School' members behind them."
Klein gave the order coldly, attributing the entire incident tonight to the cultists' plan.
He believed that this was the reaction of a superior who had just been plotted and lost his beloved woman. As a military Demigod, his reasons for attacking the local cult organization were also very legitimate.
Moreover, it is also in my own interests...
Thinking like this, he felt that the "Faceless" Potion in his body was once again consistent with the acting behavior, and he was partially digested.
Returning to his residence tiredly, Angel took a hasty bath to calm down his inner restlessness, put on a light dress, and then completely relaxed and lay down on the big sofa in the living room.
This time we went to Admiral Amyrius's mansion and solved the contaminated general's mistress Cynthia. She did not suffer any real damage, but Spirituality was also almost exhausted and in urgent need of rest.
Therefore, when she discovered that the blond secretary was showing signs of waking up, she immediately left the scene invisibly, removing the barrier created by the Anne's Blood liquid, so that no one in the entire building would be able to leave later.
Anne...
She stretched out her right hand and looked at her palm. Different from the teardrop-shaped mark formed after being pulled into Tarot Club by Mr. Fool, the overlapping sword-shield symbol that appeared after using Anne's Blood liquid was now hidden at the base of her palm. The skin scratched by the metal bottle had healed, but a few gray marks could still be seen.
"The use of that drop of blood actually strengthened the connection between me and her?"
Gently touching the hidden position of the symbol, feeling the slight itching on the skin, Angel showed a smile, but it was quickly replaced by worry.
Klein is still there to clean up the mess, waiting for the return of the real general Emilius. And why did the so-called "Mother Tree of Desire" plot such a conspiracy in the past few days when he was performing? Are you heading towards Emilius or Klein?
If I hadn't divined something unusual and rushed to the scene, he might not have been able to cope with this crisis easily. In other words, my fortune-telling saved him... But what kind of secret power did the weird scarlet and Gray Fog during the fortune-telling come from?
After analysis, successful divination is obviously one of the keys to solving the problem. This shows that there is power helping me, or guiding me to help Klein?
Angel was half lying on the sofa, with thousands of thoughts in her mind, but like Klein who was thinking about the "Mother Tree of Desire" plan in the mansion far away in the mountainside, she did not come to the final conclusion. Instead, she quickly fell asleep under the bright Crimson Moon light outside the window, gradually recovering her Spirituality and physical strength in the dream.
"Klein..."
Not knowing what she was dreaming about, she twisted her body and called softly.
The moonlight covered her body like a veil.
For the next whole day, Klein stayed in Emilius's villa and canceled all the original arrangements. The reason was also ready: he was slightly injured in the Naturism Sect's attack and was unable to travel.
This is the privilege of Demigod. Even if his brother, Oravi Island Governor Auston, was removed from his official title because he violated certain bottom lines, as long as Emilius did not personally participate and did not make a big mistake, his actions can be forgiven.
After all, a young and strong Demigod is the absolute backbone of any organization.
The servants injured in last night's attack were quickly replaced, and the guards also made up for the new ones. The punishers from the Church of Storms stationed on Olavi Island came and took away a few unlucky ones who were truly contaminated. They will be evaluated after treatment and decide on the next treatment.
"I hope Mandated Punishers's methods will not be too rough than Nighthawks's..."
Klein sighed and looked at the garden below the study window. The number of guards and maids around was obviously smaller than the previous two days. This was the result of Lü'er An's coordination among several parties and the temporary deployment of extra manpower.
Compared to Klein who was taking a break from his busy schedule, the blond secretary was extremely busy all day long. As the admiral's secretary, he had to turn down all banquets and meetings for Klein and take care of everything in the villa. Yep, as Beyonder, he has to coordinate with Mandated Punishers and the military. Finally, as a soldier, he has to lead a team to attack Naturism Sect and complete the orders of his superiors.
Under the careful arrangement of the other party, Klein was able to rest comfortably in the villa for a day, enjoy high-quality food, browse the admiral's collection of books, and listen to the "successful news" of the arrest operation. After dark, he took a nice bath and returned to the bedroom.
Of course, it was still the second bedroom farthest from the master bedroom. The master bedroom was turned into ruins by Cynthia. It would be impossible for anyone to live in it in the short term, and he also had a lot of shadows about it.
It wasn't until the early hours of the morning that Klein was awakened from his normal dream. He subconsciously looked around him and listened to the sounds outside the door. He breathed a sigh of relief when he found nothing unusual.
No, there is indeed someone... His Spirituality sounded alert and looked towards the door. A middle-aged man appeared there at some point.
Turning out of bed, Klein approached the door and found that the other party was Emilius who had been away for three days. He was wearing the same windbreaker and shirt he had left, looking at him with a serious face.
"I'm back."
The admiral said in a deep voice. When he returned to Oravi Island, he went straight to his home and came to this bedroom. Before he had time to check the situation at home, the sudden decrease in the number of people in the villa still made him smell something wrong, and his tone was a bit serious.
"What items did you leave behind before you left?"
Klein confirmed cautiously.
"A 'Ninth Law' Charm, made with my blood."
Emilius replied impatiently, took a few steps closer, exposed his face to the moonlight outside the window, and asked:
"Lü'er An is not in the villa, and there are far fewer guards and maids. What happened these days?"
Taking a deep breath, Klein looked directly into the other party's blue eyes and reported one by one:
"Your secretary was slightly injured, but the problem is not serious. He is still out all night arresting 'Naturism Sect'."
"Many of the guards and maids in the villa were injured or even contaminated, and are being treated at the church."
"Your brother, Governor Auston, has been dismissed from his post. He has left Oravi Island and returned to Backlund. The inauguration dinner of the new Governor should have just ended."
"Your Cynthia Miss was contaminated by 'Mother Tree of Desire' and turned into a monster. Fortunately, I discovered it and it has been solved."
"Your master bedroom is a total loss. Of course, its repair costs should be much lower than the bathhouse at the naval base."
Following Klein's words, Emilius's serious and old-fashioned expression could not help but turn into shock.
This is really Oravi Island, is it my villa?
I've only been away for three days, why do I seem to be in another world?
