The repeal of the Corn Laws... the standardized examination for government employees... concessions made to bring church influence into the military... these all seem to align with the trends of the times, but in essence, they are suppressing and weakening the nobility and supporting a new class. Compared to the ruling methods of the previous thousand years, this truly violates the rules of normalcy and is the kind of order needed to create a ' Black Emperor '...
"The architectural style has changed a lot in the last ten years or so..."
" Roselle was able to obtain ' Uniqueness ' and acquire the corresponding Sequence 1 Beyonder Characteristic, and that ancient Concealment organization probably put in a lot of effort, perhaps even directly providing some of it. Once this emperor falls, who will take those traits?"
"Also, Bernadette has been in Backlund for the past few months, and she used to come here often..."
"Sigh, it's mainly the asymmetrical aesthetics of those empires in the Fourth Age that influenced my perception, making me understand rules that violated the normal situation as bizarre and contrary to human nature. Now, thinking about it again, what is the normal situation? Isn't it just a state that everyone has become accustomed to, without directly confronting instincts like survival? From tribes to nations, from feudalism to republics, didn't all of these violate the normal situation at the time? Aren't there countless people who want to return to the past?"
The term "remnants of the old regime" aptly summarizes the problem...
"From this perspective, as long as there's no divine intervention, the changes the ' Black Emperor ' needs are bound to happen; it's just a matter of sooner or later... The tide of the times is rolling in, truly unstoppable. That brother of Amon is indeed a powerful and terrifying Author..."
"Deep within the ruins of the ' Blood Emperor ' lies a pyramid-like mausoleum, which, according to ritual requirements, must be repaired by the masses. This led to the disappearances in the East Borough, the overseas slave trade, and other such events..."
"Once the war has progressed to a certain stage, under the pretext of praying for victory or mourning the fallen soldiers, large numbers of people will be organized to participate in sacrificial ceremonies in different cities throughout the kingdom..."
"Yes, many years ago, the Royal Family of Loen obtained the crown of the Balam Empire, linking the king's name with the title of emperor."
"What a brilliant plan!"
Awakened by the question posed by the " Red Angel " Evil Spirit, Klein tensed up, and a multitude of thoughts flashed through his mind, along with other questions.
He looked at the tall, thin, young, and pale " Gatekeeper " opposite him, and said carefully:
Did George III want to become the ' Black Emperor ' outright?
"But he hasn't even reached Sequence 4 yet..."
Even if one could Acting beforehand to make oneself "more talented" and reduce the impact of the mental imprint within the Potion, Klein didn't believe that a Sequence 5 could directly become a god unless he was lucky enough to seize an extremely small chance of success.
This kind of luck cannot be simply described as "enough." Even Will Auceptin, the " Mercury Snake " symbolizing Fate, dared not swallow the " Die of Probability " directly; he had to carefully find a way to contain it.
The Evil Spirit " Red Angel " chuckled upon hearing this:
How do you know that George III was only Sequence 5?
"How can you be sure that the George III being examined is the real George III? Couldn't he be a figment of Envisioning, or some ' Faceless ' of Angel level in disguise?"
"These are indeed very difficult things to do, but for a certain paranoid person, they are all within their own capabilities and the resources at their disposal."
"I suspect that George III is a formal member of that Concealment organization that imitated our ' Rose Redemption,' and his true rank may already be at the Angel level. Heh, I wouldn't be surprised if he reached Sequence 1."
... This... Emperor Roselle said that the members of that ancient Concealment organization were all figures of immense importance, beyond his wildest imagination. United, they could accomplish anything except deal with the Church of the Seven Gods... This even includes a king? Well, in his later years, the emperor was also the ruler of Intis... Paranoia... Is this the " Red Angel " Evil Spirit's assessment of Amon's brother? Although it's clearly biased and strongly subjective, it certainly has some truth to it; nicknames aren't given lightly... Klein made the Marionette frown slightly and said:
"You've made the truth of this matter sound so easy to see through, but why haven't the Churches of Evernight, Storm, and Church of Steam, who clearly sensed the problem, discovered the truth yet?"
"They know just as much about the ' Black Emperor ' as you do..."
After all, the Churches of Evernight and Storm had supported the Tudor-Trunsoest United Empire!
The " Red Angel " Evil Spirit grinned again, giving Dawn Dantès.
How old are you?
Why are you still so naive and childish?
"The Six Gods and the Six Gods Church are not necessarily the same at times, and the Six Gods may not tell the Angel and Saint below them what they know."
Seeing that Dawn Dantès was still frowning, unable to understand, the " Red Angel " Evil Spirit chuckled again:
"Believe me, what I just said and what I'm about to say is undoubtedly meant to sow discord and damage Liushen's image, but you can think for yourself whether it's true or not."
"To put it another way, the attitude of the Six Gods, uh, the Seven Gods, towards someone wanting to become the ' Black Emperor ' is rather ambiguous and often self-contradictory. To be more precise, they are happy to see a mentally sound ' Black Emperor ' born, but they would prefer it to be the one they support. Therefore, they will not give their respective churches any specific revelations, but simply let them follow the normal procedures. If they can find out, they will punish; if not, they will tacitly allow it to develop."
"Of course, during this process, it is possible that some being might want to cause some disruption, but it wouldn't be so direct and obvious, because it would inevitably be stopped by other gods."
"If he hadn't grasped this attitude, how could George III have dared to take the risk?"
"Alright, now that the war has broken out, he's weathered the crisis and can patiently wait for another opportunity."
Klein suddenly thought of the leaked information during the raid on the " Blood Emperor " ruins. He was momentarily unsure whether to suspect that the high-ranking members of the three major churches were members of that ancient Concealment organization, or whether a deity had personally reminded Amon's brother. If it was the latter, then the " Lord of Storms " could be ruled out as a suspect.
After a moment's hesitation, Klein asked:
"So, barring any unforeseen circumstances, will George III, who has accomplished so much, undergo a godhood ceremony? And if everything goes smoothly and he withstands the backlash of the Potion, will he ascend the throne of the ' Black Emperor '?"
The Evil Spirit spirit, " Red Angel," replied casually.
Is there a problem with this?
"What exactly are the Seven Gods after...?" Klein couldn't help but press for an answer.
The Evil Spirit, " Red Angel," clicked its tongue and said:
Do you want to know? If you do, I can tell you right now.
Just as Klein was about to say "Of course," he suddenly remembered the warning given by Lady Arianna, the " Servant of Concealment ":
"The more you know about certain things, the more easily you become 'infected,' from body to soul. Only after you become Angel can you explore the specific answers."
In a flash of thought, Klein had the Marionette smile slightly and say:
"Then forget it."
"Very well, you almost died from curiosity and stupidity, Red Angel." The Evil Spirit shook its head with some regret.
He then glanced out the window and said:
"If there's nothing else, you can leave."
"Alright." Klein helped the Marionette stand up and raised its right hand.
Just then, the half-reclining, half-lying " Red Angel " Evil Spirit suddenly spoke up and asked:
"I always had this feeling that if I had attacked you just now, you wouldn't have been helpless, right?"
Of course, why do you think I chose " Flame Jump " instead of direct " Teleportation "? It's to conceal the sound of the origami cranes in my wallet being lit! This way, " Snake of Fate " Will Auceptin's gaze will be silently fixed on me, and if anything goes wrong, He will use the " Yesterday Once More " spell... Dealing with beings of your level, how can you not be cautious, not careful, and not Concealment covert methods? Klein didn't directly answer the " Red Angel " Evil Spirit's question, but smiled, indicating his agreement.
Snap!
He snapped his fingers, causing crimson flames to surge from his pocket and envelop him.
As crimson light spread, Klein's figure vanished before the eyes of the " Red Angel " Evil Spirit.
Inside the black stroller at Doctor. Allen Kreis's home in Backlund.
The chubby baby rubbed its eyes and mumbled silently:
" Backlund is really uninhabitable for a child!"
At 39 Böklund Street, Klein, who had been Divination, met with Congressman Macht was on his way to the West Borough.
"Didn't you go to the Megro Manor? I was also planning to have Liana and Hibbert hide at the Elk Manor," Councilor Macht said, pinching the sides of his eyes.
Who knows when these aftereffects will disappear... Klein withdrew his gaze from the other person's actions, sighed, and said:
"I need to prepare some weapons for the manor, so I've come to you for help."
"Also, if you have any connections to get food, could you buy some for me too?"
In his mind, the lower classes couldn't hoard food because they simply didn't have the money. At most, they could prepare enough for a few days. Therefore, his purchases wouldn't affect them for the time being. When food became scarce, he could donate the extra he bought through Miss Audrey. Before the temporary food control legislation was introduced, even if Klein didn't hoard, other wealthy people would, and they might not even donate.
"No problem," Representative Macht agreed without any hesitation.
Klein didn't even ask the price, because he had given the housekeeper Taneja a full 5,000 gold pounds as payment for this.
Of course, after confirming that Zaratul was in Backlund and that Dawn Dantès Red Angel Evil Spirit about Dawn Dantes being with Gehrman Sparrow, he decided not to return to the Megro Manor and to adopt a different identity to avoid affecting the innocent.
As for the excuse, it's that I've been assigned by the Church of Evernight to do certain things and won't be able to return for a long time. If there are any charitable activities that require my cooperation, please follow Miss Audrey's arrangements.
