When planning to prevent George III from being promoted to "Black Emperor", Angel and Klein actually had the expectation that these actions would lead to the situation slipping in a bad direction, for example because King lost control and died, causing turmoil in Loen's country, causing the morale of the frontline soldiers to drop or even defecting, or Intis, Feynapotter took the opportunity to attack Loen, etc.

But at the same time, they are also mentally prepared to use their own abilities, influence and other means to reduce the harm of these changes to ordinary people. As Demoness, whose performance on the battlefield exceeds that of its peers Sequence Hunter, Angel even has the determination to go to the battlefield.

But Intis Republic's quick response still exceeded their imagination.

You know, George III's speech started at nine o'clock in the morning, and the speech reached its climax. When mourning, it was around nine-thirty that "Black Emperor" was prepared for promotion. A few minutes later, this King of Angel completely fell. "Ruins No.1" was covered by multiple Catastrophe, and was finally completely blown up by successive lightning strikes, leaving no trace.

And now Sun has not yet set, and less than eight hours after George III's death, Intis's army has actually completed its assembly and is pressing on the border between the two countries?

There is only one possibility:

Intis has been prepared for a long time and has secretly gathered troops. He is just waiting for Loen to see changes in the country and take action immediately!

"I guess that King of Angel, whose name cannot be mentioned, played a big role in it."

Angel said with a sigh, waving his hand to make the glass window no longer transparent, using the mirror illusion to isolate the increasingly noisy noise outside the window and the shouts of the newsboy.

"No need to guess, it's Him. When he blocked me on the uninhabited island of the Berserk Sea, He said that Intis would not continue to watch, but would join the siege of Loen. If not, the trend of the times that He expected would not be pushed to a climax."

Klein replied with an indifferent expression, clenching his fist with his left hand wearing "Creeping Hunger", as if he saw the countless dead and wounded soldiers and people, as well as the destroyed cities and villages after the war expanded.

What makes him hate the most is that this whole thing was promoted by Adam and was actively promoted by him and Angel.

The two of us, Sequence 3, can only barely act as chess pieces, let alone face to face with these King of Angel, who control the situation behind the scenes, or even True God... If Adam hadn't shown But if you have any other plans, you can just Hypnosis me today and hand it over to Amon's Avatar and ask Him to bring me into Forsaken Land of the Gods. In that case, even Angel won't be able to save me...

Klein thought, his face was covered with a haze for a moment, but before Angel noticed it, he used the ability of "Faceless" to control it, and naturally turned it into a thoughtful expression.

Sure enough, Angel didn't notice the change in his expression and asked instead:

"What happened to Edessak? Wasn't he hidden by the church and Georgina's royal faction?"

"Perhaps it is to inherit the throne. Otherwise, according to the order of succession, Four Kings's son should become King, and his relationship with the church and New Party is not good. After George III's death, it is not appropriate for the royal family to be brought to the forefront when it needs to ease the relationship with Three Great Churches."

Klein analyzed, then frowned and continued:

"No, there should be two major churches. Since Intis is ready to invade Loen, 'Church of the Eternal Blazing Sun' and 'Church of Steam' must have participated in the battle. Then Church of Steam, who is also preaching in Loen, The position of will be very embarrassing... Fortunately, their followers are mainly concentrated in factory owners, teachers and technical workers, and the number is much smaller than those who believe in Goddess and Lord of Storms. Otherwise, their changes in mentality will have a huge impact on the country...

"We are in trouble both internally and externally."

He couldn't help but say something in Chinese.

Angel has already established a basic understanding of Chinese ideograms during this period of tutoring, which is enough to understand the general meaning of idioms based on their semantics, so he nodded in agreement.

"Is this what the evil spirit 'Red Angel' meant when he said, 'One of Three Great Churches has a different opinion'? Church of Steam Have you been prepared for this situation?"

After Evernight Goddess secretly expressed his opposition to George III, she originally thought it was referring to Church of Evernight, but now it seems that Church of Steam also makes sense.

Klein obviously thought of this. He stood up from the chair, walked heavily to the half-length mirror on the wall, and said:

"If Church of Steam completely turns to Intis, and Feynapotter also joins the dispute in order to annex Lenburg and other small countries, then Loen will face one against three at the same time. North Continent's other three big countries... In terms of the most important God's attitude, they are two against four. Even if Lenburg and other countries' God of Knowledge and Wisdom are added, they are still three against four, occupying an absolute disadvantage."

As he spoke, he drew symbols representing secrecy and voyeurism on the mirror, and then asked solemnly:

"Arrodes, I would like to know where to find Main Materials for 'Miracle Invoker' Potion."

Then, he forced out a smile, looked at Angel, and explained:

"'Miracle Invoker' is the name of Seer Pathway Sequence 2. I believe that only by being promoted as soon as possible can we protect the people and things we want to protect in this coming turmoil."

In fact, Apocalypse is coming... Angel added in his heart, nodded, looked at the mirror, and found that the environment inside the room was still reflected, and Arrodes did not appear.

Klein also noticed something strange. He touched the mirror three times in confusion, just like activating the magical Magic Mirror when he first encountered it, but the latter still didn't respond.

"Could it be that the Machinery Hiveminds have entered a state of combat readiness? In order to prevent accidents, this Sealed Artifact with living characteristics has been completely sealed..."

He muttered, shook his head in disappointment, and prepared to change the subject of inquiry and go to find "Snake of Fate" Will Auceptin in his dream.

At this moment, the inside of the half-length mirror flashed crazily as if to attract other people's attention, illuminating the small room with varying brightness and darkness, making people dizzy.

"Wait! Master, Arrodes is here!"

Several words without rhetoric burst out, almost filling the entire mirror, and the silver-white brushstrokes trembled, as if sending out a silent cry.

It usually adds at least several adjectives in front of "master", and it seems to be really anxious... Angel smiled secretly, looking at Klein's mouth slightly raised, and turned to look at the "small, humble and frightened" Arrodes.

Before he could repeat the question again, those big words Distortion squirmed into new sentences:

"There is some chaos inside Church of Steam. News came that Intis has joined the war. They are making preparations for possible conflicts with Evernight and Storm. The deacon who often visits me is here again, so I can only deal with him first.

"Great master, you don't mind, do you?"

This is a question at the beginning... The deacon it is talking about cannot be Ikanser, whose hair has been singed by electricity... Klein suppressed his laughter, shook his head and answered:

"I don't mind, but my question is: Where can I find the Main Materials of 'Miracle Invoker' Potion?"

This question is actually a bit tricky, because Klein did not get the Potion formula of "Miracle Invoker" at this time. If Arrodes can answer this question, it is equivalent to revealing The main part of the Potion formula, and if the location of Beyonder Characteristic is given, it also indirectly indicates the location of Beyonder for other "Miracle Invoker" or Sequence 1.

Under his expectant gaze, dense lines of text quickly appeared on the surface of the half-length mirror:

"After reaching Sequence 2, the total amount of Beyonder Characteristic cannot be increased by stacking lower characteristics. When Sequence 1's 'Mystic Seer' is full, there are only six copies of 'Miracle Invoker'.

"The ancestor of the Antigonus Family and the leader of Secret Order, Zarathus, were both promoted through Sequence 1 Characteristic containing 'Miracle Invoker', so they both possess an additional copy of Sequence 2's characteristics; the third copy is Sealed Artifact A component of E'0-05'Magic Wishing Lamp, which contains a copy of Beyonder Characteristic with mysterious origins, and can respond to the owner's wishes in the manner of Distortion. True God once tried to crush objects and separate properties, but failed.

"Another two copies of 'Miracle Invoker' Beyonder Characteristic also exist in the form of '0' level Sealed Artifact. One is '0-13' The Last Supper, derived from Third Epoch The fallen Creator is currently in Church of the Eternal Blazing Sun; the second one is '0-32' The Never-Ending Theater, which appeared after Four Emperors War and is now being kept by Church of Storms.

"The sixth copy of Beyonder Characteristic requires you to find a remaining 'Demonic Wolf'. It occasionally appeared in Forsaken Land of the Gods during Third Epoch, but disappeared after Great Cataclysm.

"The last 'Miracle Invoker' has never appeared like the unowned 'Mystic Seer' characteristic. Even the ancient god Flegrea of Second Epoch has never found them. Maybe they have been combined into some kind of Sealed Artifact with living characteristics and have secretly hidden themselves."

His eyes quickly swept over the floral pattern Loenese that almost filled the mirror surface. Angel quickly memorized them in his mind, and then let his thoughts spread out and run rapidly.

From this "list", she discovered an important problem: except for the "Demonic Wolf", all "Miracle Invoker" either already had an owner or became Sealed Artifact, and there was no so-called "Main Materials" at all.

Of course, it can be seen from the "Card of Blasphemy" she has gotten, all Pathway's Sequence 2 Potion Main Materials, all have the alternative "Beyonder Characteristic of other Sequence 2" written at the back, which means that at the critical stage of promotion to Angel, Main Materials can no longer be "enriched" through Beyonder Creature, and can only compete and reallocate among limited resources.

No wonder Arrodes said that under the premise that Sequence 1 is full, there are only six copies of the characteristics of Sequence 2... No, this may only be the Seer of "Seer" Pathway. The other Pathway should be slightly different, such as the of Demoness Pathway Sequence 2, on the premise that there is True God, Demoness Sect and four "Catastrophe" Demoness, including me, there are five. I don't know if other churches have similar Sealed Artifact, maybe there are more than six Sequence 2...

While she was thinking, Klein nodded with satisfaction, waiting for Arrodes to ask another question.

But after waiting for a long time, the content on the half-length mirror did not fade away. Instead, a line of small words at the bottom was highlighted, as if to attract the attention of the two people in front of them:

"If the two masters are satisfied with my answer, can they take me away from Church of Steam as soon as possible?"

Why is it mentioning this matter again? Could it be that it has a premonition that something will happen inside Church of Steam? But unless we break into Saint Hillan Cathedral, we have no chance to bring it out. Even the clone of Amon that sneaked in last time can't do it... Angel chuckled lightly and was still thinking about how to reject it tactfully when he heard Klein reply calmly:

"Not at the moment."

"... Okay, that's a wonderful answer."

Arrodes Under the frustration, even the praise seemed weak, and the font drooped softly as if melting.

Seeing that it seemed to be in despair, Angel comforted it:

"It is safest to stay inside Church of Steam now. Amon's Avatar may return to Backlund, and Intis is about to invade. If you, as a living Sealed Artifact, are lost for no reason, you will definitely be investigated and hunted down. On the contrary, it will harm... your great, noble and wise master."

As she said that, she glanced at Klein, suppressed her laughter and continued:

"I promise that if the time is right, I will take you away from Church of Steam. This depends on changes in the battle situation and God of Steam and Machinery's attitude towards Loen."

These words made the entire half-length mirror brighter, and the silver-white text on the top turned into a touching expression. Tears rolled down to the bottom of the mirror, as if Arrodes was crying.

Then, a new line of words emerged one by one, filling the entire mirror again, and shining with dazzling light:

"Thank you, beautiful and brave Mistress, I will wait quietly for that time to come! But at the same time, I also want to know when you and the master are going to get married? The humble Arrodes hopes to have the opportunity to participate in that much-anticipated wedding!"

In the small room, Angel and Klein, illuminated by the shining words, both fell into a state of shock and did not know how to answer for a moment.
