As the familiar crimson light dissipated, Fors returned to his residential bedroom in Cherwood Borough.
She first closed her eyes and carefully memorized the key points of the "meeting" just now. While Wall of Spirituality was still there, she used a simple ceremony to sacrifice "Leimano's Travel Notes" and one of the only two "Spirit World Shuttle Stone" that had saved her several times to Mr. Fool - the latter came from the bracelet of an Abraham Family member's widow. Each stone on the bracelet can be used once "Travel".
After doing all this, Fors tiptoed to the bedroom door, opened the door and looked into the living room. Sure enough, she found that Xio Derecha had returned home and was rummaging for something in the cabinet behind the sofa. With her head slightly bent, she was already lower than the back of the sofa. If it weren't for a messy blond hair peeking out from above, no one would have noticed.
"Well, you're awake?"
Hearing the movement, Xio's head appeared from behind the sofa and asked doubtfully.
She knew that although her friend had an unstable schedule, he often had the habit of sleeping with his bedroom door locked during the day, most often in the afternoon, especially on Mondays, so she was not particularly surprised.
"I didn't sleep. I was, um, reviewing manuscripts just now. You know, I've made a lot of money through publishing agency recently."
Fors retorted, feeling a little guilty, but quickly puffed up her chest. After all, she really made a lot of extra money by publishing the Great Adventurer Series and the Great Pirate Series. Recently, even their food has improved a lot, and she even plans to find an opportunity to move out of Cherwood Borough and live in Hillston Borough where it is more convenient to communicate with the publisher.
Of course, after meeting the two real protagonists of the novel, Gehrman Sparrow and Angelica Zaki, she temporarily decided to reject the pen pal's request for publication, so as not to be caught by the real owner, he broke into her home and "sealed the pen" in a physical sense.
However, with a 20% profit, based on the previous sales volume, I can earn hundreds or even a thousand pounds for each publishing agency... Well, just sell the copyright of the book "Vice Admiral of Ailment" I have on hand, and then let him find other people to do such dangerous things, or simply publish it only in Intis, so that the "world" of Loen and "Empress" will never find out...
There were so many thoughts in her mind, Fors It wasn't until Xio came to stand in front of her and poked her waist suspiciously that she came to her senses, pursed her lips, drove away the countless Gold Pounds from her mind, and said:
"Hugh, I have something to discuss with you," she said, looking at her friend's baby-fat face, "This Friday night, I want to..."
Above Gray Fog, "Fool" Klein looked at the palm-sized "Leimano's Travel Notes" with a copper-green cover, almost the same color as Tarot Club's long bronze table, and couldn't help feeling a little emotional.
Compared with his "Creeping Hunger" and Angel's "Rose Necklace", the notebook derived from Apprentice Pathway "Scribe" Beyonder Characteristic is undoubtedly more widely used.
It has 25 pages of ordinary paper that can record abilities below Sequence 6, and 10 pages of parchment that can record abilities of Sequence 5 or Sequence 6. Each page can record Record an independent Beyonder Ability. When using it, you only need to turn to that page and pour in a little Spirituality, and the corresponding Beyonder Ability can be used with about 80% of the effect.
Of course, pages used once will be restored to blank, making it easier to record and use next time.
This is equivalent to giving the user the right to use Beyonder Ability of 35 different Pathways. Although the effect is not as good, the quantity can completely make up for the quality. Klein immediately comes to mind with several methods that do not require his own abilities. This Travel Journal alone can solve the same problem as Sequence Beyonder, and the success rate is not low.
To be able to make a Beyonder of Sequence 7 have such a powerful Mystical Item, it seems that the energy of the Abraham Family is much greater than I imagined... Klein sighed and turned his attention to the three most special pages of burnt yellow paper in the note.
This is a special book with only three pages that can record a trace of divinity, so it can store High Sequence Beyonder Ability!
With it, even without the help of Angel, I have a high probability of solving "Mr. X" alone... He pursed his lips and stopped himself from taking such risks.
As Aurora Order Oracle, Mr. X dares to disclose his identity directly to Backlund, and there must be protection from other Aurora Order members behind him, even if it is "Snake of Mercury" "Ouroboros no longer pays attention to Backlund. Aurora Order should also have other Sequence 5, and there may even be Saint hiding here. The help of our own Demigod is necessary.
Moreover, there is another "half Demigod" joining this battle. That "Mirror Person" may give priority to Aurora Order, or he may directly regard Angel and Klein as enemies, making the situation chaotic.
From the bottom of his heart, Klein, who likes to plan and act later, does not accept this kind of "three-party battle" plan. Since the Sequence 7 "Magician" period, he has preferred prepared actions and will try to avoid uncontrollable factors.
But being timid and hesitant is not consistent with his behavior in front of Angel, let alone his identity as "Fool".
Moreover, in the battle involving many Demigod outside Bayam city, Klein discovered that sometimes finding chaos and taking advantage of it would actually be beneficial to a less powerful Beyonder like him. If Mr. X is protected by Demigod. He and Angel have many ways to evacuate the scene. It is not a problem to have one more "Mirror Person". If the opponent does not have Demigod, then the combat effectiveness of his side will be the strongest among the three parties, and he can take advantage of both sides.
As "Marionettist", Beyonder, who hides behind the scenes, plots to eliminate two Sequence 5s at once. This is a battle to verify my combat effectiveness. Likewise, it is also a preview of revenge against Ince Zangwill!
Making up his mind, Klein smiled slightly, raised "Sea God's Scepter" in his hand, and poured Spirituality into Leimano's Travel Notes and the scepter at the same time, letting the notes light up with a hazy light, and letting the gem on the top of the bone scepter burst out with silvery white lightning.
"Lightning Storm"!
Silver-white lightning appeared out of thin air above Gray Fog, like a giant beast baring its teeth and claws, filling the interior of the majestic palace.
At the same time, on the browned page of the notebook, complex runes appeared alternately, merged and formed, and were about to cover the entire page.
But the next moment, with a "poof" sound, the patterns on the surface of the paper disintegrated, and a small bolt of lightning burst out, dissipating together with Storm above the head, and returned to calm.
Failed again... Klein's mouth twitched, and the confidence he had just gained disappeared with "Lightning Storm".
Saint Samuel Cathedral Underground, in a spacious but dark room.
Backlund Diocese's Archbishop Saint Anthony Stevenson is standing beside his desk with a solemn expression, looking at the senior deacon in front of him who is at the same level as him in church status, Pierce Turner.
"Pierce, you should have gotten the documents Red Gloves handed you before you came here. Please tell me your opinion."
His tone was not as serious as he treated other Nighthawks, but with a rare warmth. After all, other senior deacons theoretically only need to follow Holy Cathedral's instructions. Even as a parish Archbishop, he could not command them.
Although in actual implementation, Backlund's rotating senior deacon will obey his orders and show a superior-subordinate relationship, this is only a tacit understanding among everyone, not a necessity.
Therefore, verbal respect is still necessary, even if he is just... Anthony recalled "Goddess's Sword"'s instructions to him, his expression remained unchanged, and he walked behind the desk, a little farther away from Pierce.
"Yes, Archbishop Your Excellency, I have read the document in detail, so I have this doubt: won't the relevant disposal of 'Aurora Order' be handed over to the 'Red Gloves' team? Why doesn't 'Goddess's Sword' Lord Cesimir handle it personally?"
Pierce, who was wearing a black robe and could not be identified as Demigod, shook the document bag in his hand and asked with a puzzled look on his face.
"Originally it should have been handed over to Cesimir. He rushed to Backlund specifically for this matter, but Cons of Midseashire did not deal with the last 'Devil Serial Murder' incident, and he needed to rush over there to help the local Nighthawks team solve the problem, so he left on the steam train early this morning."
Anthony replied slowly, with a look of emotion on his face, as if he felt that the senior deacon was a little too busy.
"Lord Cesimir is really a busy man," Pierce also felt the same and joked, "This 'Mr. X' only has Sequence 5. An ordinary Red Gloves team carrying Sealed Artifact should be able to handle it."
"I'm not afraid that 'Red Gloves' won't be able to defeat this Aurora Order Oracle, but I'm worried that Mr. X will immediately run away from Backlund when the situation is bad. He is a 'Traveler'."
Hearing Anthony's answer, a trace of surprise flashed in Pierce's eyes. He was silent for a moment, nodded and said:
"Also, unless you deal with him directly in the dream, if you give 'Traveler' some reaction time, he will definitely leave directly through Spirit World, making it difficult to track... This Friday night, I will destroy this 'Aurora Order' gathering place."
Seeing that he finally "enlightened", Archbishop Anthony nodded with satisfaction:
"If you need support from other teams, you can communicate directly with the Nighthawks or Red Gloves captain on duty. If you bring other teams with you, your permission allows you to use a '1' level Sealed Artifact. Be sure to solve the 'Mr. X'."
"Support team..." Pierce subconsciously wanted to refuse, but with a look on his face, he nodded again, "I will bring a Nighthawks team, and they can support from a distance. As for Sealed Artifact, I will bring '1-63' and let the support team use it."
Sure enough, it was that one...Anthony nodded with a soft face and agreed to Pierce's plan.
After the senior deacon left, Archbishop looked at the dark holy symbol hanging on the wall and suddenly showed a smile.
On Friday evening, Klein, who had pretended to be sick in advance, had a light dinner and asked the servants not to disturb him tonight, and then returned to his bedroom with a pale face. This was not difficult under the control of Faceless's expression.
Then, he took out a portable dressing mirror prepared by Angel, placed it next to his pillow, and leaned against it facing the door.
The mirror reflected his face with gray temples and deep blue eyes.
As the bed changed like the light Distortion, "Dwayne Dantès", who was wearing pajamas like him and with a pretty face, appeared half-reclined on the bed, holding a popular novel in his hand, his eyes slightly closed, as if he had fallen asleep.
After trying to touch his other self, Klein was surprised to find that the touch of "Mirror Substitution" was the same as that of a real person. It seemed that he was not attacking directly or using abilities similar to "Spirit Body Threads" to observe. Even Beyonder would be deceived by this avatar.
Thinking of this, he nodded with satisfaction, took the pen and paper, and drew on the paper a complex symbol that combined secret and voyeurism to summon Arrodes.
After waiting for a moment, "Dwayne Dantès" with his eyes closed on the bed suddenly woke up, and his eyes immediately locked on Klein sitting at the table, with the corners of his mouth turned up and his facial features crowded together.
He showed a flattering smile and his voice was extremely soft:
"Great Master, your loyal and humble servant Arrodes is at your command!"
I really want to let him go away right away... Klein covered his face speechlessly, not wanting to look at this licking dog that looked the same as him for a second.
