Standing next to the temporary altar built on the ground, Klein also held his breath, staring closely at the two lines of beautifully written text in front of Angel.
Here is the complete recipe for "Scholar of Yore"!
Although Fugen Hound, also known as "Source Castle Watcher", made him a little surprised, and he once again suspected that the process of selecting "Seer" Pathway was arranged by some kind of fate. However, when he saw the "Fool" card in Mist Town before, and when he learned about Promotion Ritual of Sequence 3, this shocking emotion had already filled his mind twice, so this time he did not reveal any flaws in front of Arianna.
"But Goddess didn't even give Promotion Ritual. It seems that he already knows that I got the ritual information from Angel... Is he really in a bad state as we suspected before? Or maybe he responds positively to believers, and even has an overly positive attitude, which is actually hiding his own state..."
Klein Such an idea suddenly popped up in his mind, but he immediately hid it in his heart, took a deep breath, and firmly remembered the Potion formula of "Scholar of Yore" before the herbal ashes dispersed.
This is what Angel killed Hvin Rambis, found the truth about Great Smog, sacrificed Sealed Artifact that came from the "starry sky" pollution, and gave up his own reward...
Thinking of this, he was suddenly moved.
From Tingen to Backlund, from Low Sequence to High Sequence, Angel really helped him a lot, but he gave very little in return. Even if you count "Fool"'s share, it is difficult to say that it is enough.
"Fortunately, if my prediction is correct, Promotion Ritual of 'Scholar of Yore' is equivalent to being 'tailor-made' for me. I will be able to catch up with her soon..."
Pursing his lips, Klein looked at Arianna, who seemed to already know the results of sacrifice and prayer. His expression was indifferent and his eyes were calm. After Angel picked up the characteristics of "Manipulator" and packed the altar, he said:
"Plan a plan to deal with those two people as soon as possible. If you need my help, you can pray to Goddess or recite my name."
After saying that, His figure disappeared in front of the two people as if erased by an eraser, and the huge Crimson Moon above his head suddenly shrank and returned to its normal size. Stars appeared in the dark night, the late summer breeze blew on the street, and the distant noise reached their ears.
The "secret" effect ended, and the two returned to Physical World.
Ten minutes had passed since Angel pressed Hvin into Mirror World. The carriage Audrey was riding in had long since disappeared. Their figures were a little awkward on the street. Fortunately, there were not many Empress Borough pedestrians or carriages at night, and no one noticed their sudden appearance.
Poof, a stream of flames lit up and went out, reflecting the unnatural light and shadow of the puddles on the roadside. The street was empty again.
Only the words that seemed to come from afar still echoed:
"Let's talk about that thing where you were secretly laughing just now... didn't you say you wanted to discuss my 'look'?"
"... What does it look like... Wait a minute, don't you need to inform Audrey of the outcome of this matter?"
"You can pray for Mr. Fool's help later..."
"Fool... Hmm..."
"Dear Mr. Fool, good evening, thank you for allowing us to hold an impromptu meeting."
In the palace of Gray Fog, Angel stood up happily and expressed his gratitude to "Fool" at the top of the long bronze table.
The latter didn't seem to care much. He knocked on the table to indicate that she could start and then leaned back on the chair, hiding his figure inside the thick Gray Fog.
Hmm, Mr. Fool seems to be not in good condition? No, He should just not be interested in our conversation. After all, it only involves one "Spectator" Demigod, and the secular King trying to break the shackles of the church... Angel muttered in his heart, sat back on the high-backed chair belonging to "Empress", and looked at "Justice" Audrey beside him and the weak "World" Klein on the other side of the long table.
Except for the host of the meeting and the real owner of this place, there were only three of them sitting at the table.
"Miss Empress, if you apply for a temporary meeting, it means that tonight's incident has been resolved, right?"
Audrey asked excitedly.
After she realized that the strongest member of Tarot Club had a head-on conflict with Hvin Rambis, she could predict the outcome of the incident, but she immediately prayed to Mr. Fool, hoping that he could inform Mr. "World" who was also located at Backlund about the incident.
Now "The World" also appeared at the temporary meeting, and the results were self-evident. She even felt a little sympathy for "Manipulator" Hvin's fate of facing two Demigod at the same time.
Just one thing, who made him suddenly break into our carriage and try to Hypnosis "Empress" Miss!
Audrey, who had already restored all his memories under the influence of "Purification" when he entered Gray Fog, thought bitterly.
"Yes, Hvin Rambis is dead, but this matter is covered up by the power of 'secret'. Don't show any abnormality for the time being, just treat him as if he is still alive..."
Angel nodded and "flipped" the two into Mirror World until Spirit Channeling learned that King George III was The real planner of Great Smog told the story in detail, not only to tell the participant "Justice", but also to tell Klein about his battle with "Manipulator" and give him a reference.
In the short battle, she was deeply impressed by the speed with which Hvin invaded Island of Consciousness. If she hadn't been proficient in Mirror Magic, built a maze for Depths of Consciousness, and had "Mirror Person" to bear Mind Plague, I'm afraid the battle would not have ended so easily.
"Trick Sorcerer" lacks the corresponding means. Although his Marionette has no thinking, no subconscious, and will not be affected by Mind Plague, but since Spirit Body Threads can convey "Petrification", it can naturally also Passing "awareness", facing this kind of Beyonder that can launch attacks regardless of distance and location, the weaknesses of Klein's body will be exposed, similar to the fate of Fountain of Youth's "Trick Sorcerer" Sophia.
But he didn't seem to be listening. Could it be that he was too tired... Looking at the "world" also hidden behind Gray Fog, Angel snorted lightly and turned to "Justice" with bright eyes. He listened carefully to her story and nodded from time to time, and his expression softened.
"So, the characteristics of 'Manipulator' already belong to you? Can I, can I buy it? Or exchange it for something?"
After learning the whereabouts of Hvin Rambis's "legacy", Audrey pursed his lips and looked at Angel with some embarrassment.
"It has no other use for the time being and can be sold to you, but you'd better digest 'Hypnotist' first and then consider this after being promoted to 'Dreamwalker', otherwise it may affect your mentality."
Angel warned.
"I've finished digesting Potion... Well, just now, I grasped the contradiction in my mind and realized that I was being Hvin Hypnosis. That familiar feeling appeared."
So fast? This should be the reason why Demigod often faces Hvin... Angel thought about it, nodded and said:
"Then on tomorrow's Tarot Club, you can start collecting Potion materials for 'Dreamwalker'... In addition, during this period of time, at least for a week, it is best to pray to Mr. Fool every day, and you can also go to church a few more times to avoid being Hypnosis without knowing it. Even if Hvin Rambis is dead, there are many Demigod Beyonder in his 'Psychology Alchemists'. It is possible that his loss of contact will be discovered in advance, and those of us who have been in contact with him will become key suspects."
"I understand," Audrey nodded and replied, "Not long after my father returned home tonight, Archbishop and Saint Anthony of Saint Samuel Cathedral came to visit and had a private conversation with me, my father, and my brother. I suspect that he was also preventing this from happening."
It seems that Arianna went to the church before leaving and arranged all this. Is this Divine Revelation the focus of Goddess's focus on believers, or did He take the initiative to do this...
Angel expressed his gratitude from the bottom of his heart to Goddess and "Servant of Concealment" for their considerate help to believers, and then talked with Audrey and Klein discussed for a while "Twilight Hermits Society" and King George III's attempt to start a war, then ended the meeting and returned to Physical World.
After the two figures under the seat disappeared in the crimson light, "Fool" Klein breathed a sigh of relief. He could no longer maintain the image of God and slumped down on the high-backed chair.
"I won't dare to laugh at her next time... I won't dare to laugh in front of her..."
He muttered, waved his hand, and summoned a piece of parchment spread out in front of him, which recorded the "Scholar of Yore" Potion formula given by Goddess today.
In the blank space below, two more lines of words appeared in his mind, which were Promotion Ritual that Angel learned.
"Three hundred years away from reality, 'Source Castle Watcher', 'Fool', and this piece of Gray Fog..."
His confused murmur echoed in the palace.
Entering September, Backlund, a big city with a population of 5 million, is once again noisy and busy. With the start of school, East Borough, South District and The factory of Saint George Borough has also completely come out of Great Smog at the end of last year and restored its full production capacity. Thick fog once again floated over the city, covering up the limited sunshine and causing the temperature to continue to drop.
On Tarot Club four days ago, Angel spent 1,000 pounds to buy a key clue from "Hermit" Cattleya: "Vice Admiral of Ailment" Tracy's fleet entered the Berserk Sea area from the Fog Sea and headed towards the Southern Continent.
And just before she set off, Helene and "Red Haired Woman" set off from Bayam, carrying a ship full of Loen Navy and "Scrap Arms" to the same place.
This "Affliction" Demoness finally couldn't help but take action.
Of course, this is because Angel deliberately spread the information. She contacted Georgina Augustus Duchess and informed the other party that "Golden Queen" will be broadcasting this Friday night. Contact her late, and if "White Saint" Katarina is still serving the royal family, it is very likely to get this news. If she knows, it means Tracy knows.
And Angel has some speculation that this "Unaging" Demoness may be pushing the boat along, urging Tracy to find Helene so that she can completely digest "Affliction" Potion and prepare to be promoted to Demigod.
"No matter what, I will not be a loser..."
Angel murmured, looking at the full-length mirror that reflected her figure in front of her. The mirror surface quickly rippled with water, and scenes of trees, grass, and the night sky gradually appeared inside.
A figure emerged from the darkness. It was Duchess Georgina, who was wearing tights that made it easier to move, and perfectly outlined his tall figure.
"Good evening, 'Golden Queen', I didn't expect that our first meeting would be in the suburbs of Backlund, or in this form..."
Looking at the full-length mirror placed diagonally next to the tree trunk, the breathtakingly beautiful Demoness with long pale blond hair and deep purple eyes in the mirror, and Christine Teresa standing by the mirror looking a little cowed, Georgina Augustus chuckled and joked.
"Aren't you worried that you will arrest me if I enter Backlund?" Angel in the mirror also showed a smile. Even through the mirror, Georgina was stunned for a moment. "Then, why are you, or the royal faction behind you, looking for me?"
