Having prior experience, Klein put himself in the shoes of the Dark Demonic Wolf and considered things from the following perspective:
Normally, the automatic response to prayers is definitely turned off to prevent the enemy from using the feedback to establish contact and lock onto the location;
Under this premise, when faced with a sudden, unfamiliar prayer, one would undoubtedly rely on the corresponding light spot to observe who is on the other end, gather more information, and prepare for what might happen in the future.
If the one reciting the name is a powerful being like Amon, someone you are familiar with, then immediately extinguishing the prayer light is the best option. However, if the other party is a stranger, in a situation where you are absolutely safe, conducting long-term monitoring, understanding the specific situation, and assessing whether a counterattack is necessary is something that any rational being would most likely do, at least Klein himself would do.
The essence of this matter is that non- Mythical Creature are marked by high-ranking beings and may die inexplicably and miserably at any time. For the prayers, this is comparable to suicide, or even more terrifying, but for the Dark Demonic Wolf, it is only beneficial and has no disadvantages.
At first, the suspicious Dark Demonic Wolf would certainly suspect a conspiracy and dare not rashly establish contact to influence Klein from afar. However, as time goes by and the observation deepens, once it confirms that the other party is indeed just a weakling with a bit of the " Sefirah Castle " aura who is not even at the Angel level and has not made enough preparations, it will inevitably look for an opportunity to launch a remote attack through the marked prayer light when Klein is least prepared.
This aligns with Klein's earlier assessment of his own strengths—"I am weak."
The only problem with this plan is that the initiative is entirely in the hands of the Dark Demonic Wolf. Klein's every move is being monitored, making it impossible to prepare in advance. Once the other party really tries to exert influence, he will be powerless to fight back and there is no way he can escape.
Phew, this is how you successfully lure out the prey, but the Hunter dies as a result... It's all meaningless... But if you don't put yourself in such a passive position, you really can't lure out Angel with the " Seer " pathway, or a so suspicious dire Demonic Wolf... This is something that can't be done by Marionette or anyone else... If only you could take advantage of the time Dark Demonic Wolf, because of its suspicion, dares not attack rashly from afar and will only choose to monitor and observe for the time being... Klein's mind raced, searching for any possible opportunities among the impossible.
In the end, he could only sigh inwardly, regretting that he was not Angel through the " Spectator " route.
He speculated that Angel in the " Spectator " pathway all possessed some extraordinary quality. "The more others know about you, the more you know about them." When the Dark Demonic Wolf closely monitored and carefully observed an Angel in the " Spectator " pathway through the light of prayer, its position would undoubtedly be naturally and reasonably revealed to the other party.
Unfortunately, I'm not... and the " Spectator " pathway of Sequence 2 might not work; I can only be sure that Sequence 1 has this trait... Summoning "0-08" from the Fog of History? No way. Putting aside the question of whether the pen can still be summoned without " The Groselle's Travels," even if a projection is successfully created, the pen is the pen, and I am me. The Dark Demonic Wolf's understanding of my situation won't allow "0-08" to try to control me in reverse. Besides, it can only be used for a short two minutes at a time, not enough time to sense anything... This could be used as an aid to the plan, writing down the desired development in advance to make the Dark Demonic Wolf's "choice" reasonable and eliminate uncertainties... Klein considered many things, but still couldn't find a suitable method of trapping it.
Besides regretting that he wasn't Sequence 1 Angel through the " Spectator " pathway, the only other thing he could think of was the " Starry Sky ":
The " Starry Sky " can be polluted simply by understanding it!
If I possessed the essence of the " Starry Sky," then the Dark Demonic Wolf, after monitoring me through the points of prayer, would have been corrupted and its location locked by me. But the essence of the " Starry Sky " transcends the Angel realm; how could I possess it...? I feel like I've forgotten something... Klein had "The World," Gehrman Sparrow, subtly shake his head, then looked around and said:
"There's no need to come to a conclusion now. We can discuss it with the right people in a suitable way when we get back."
He paid special attention to " The Star " Leonard and " The Hermit " Cattleya, hoping they could get advice from more experienced figures like Pallez Zoroast and " Mystery Queen " Bernadette.
As for himself, he will use the historical vignettes to return to Backlund and consult with the messenger, Will Onsetin, and the ascetic Ariana.
This is what it means to widely solicit the opinions of Angel or quasi -Angel before making important decisions... Klein mentally criticized his own behavior.
Upon hearing this, " The Star " Leonard and " The Hermit " Cattleya nodded in unison.
"OK."
Then, the Tarot Club members discussed the situation on the various battlefields until the meeting ended.
Back in the real world, Leonard, who was resting underground at Saint Samuel Cathedral, lowered his voice and summarized Klein's question, concluding with:
" Old Man, what suggestions do you have?"
"So they want to retrieve that ' Miracle Invoker ' Beyonder Characteristic left behind in the Forsaken Land of the Gods..." Pallez Zoroast first realized, then chuckled, "Tell your former colleague that he can't handle this himself. My only advice is to ask that ' The Fool ' for help!"
Leonard, knowing the Old Man's personality well, quickly followed up with a question:
Is this really the only suggestion?
Pallez Zoroast snorted and said:
"That's Mythical Creature that even Amon couldn't capture; we can only rely on the ' The Fool's ' help."
Leonard nodded and sighed, saying:
"It seems this is the only way..."
Two minutes before the agreed meeting time between " The Moon " Emlyn and Maric.
" The Magician " Fors nestled in his armchair by the fireplace, listened intently to the sounds coming from upstairs, and then turned his gaze to his friend Hugh:
"If the war continues like this, Backlund will definitely suffer more attacks. Don't you really want to evacuate your mother and brother to the surrounding villages?"
Hugh's short, light blonde hair was parted asymmetrically and neatly combed. Compared to last year, she appeared more serious and had the air of Arbiter, just like a high-ranking knight leading a knightly order.
She said with some hesitation:
"The surrounding villages have reached their population limit, and I can still get enough food from Military Intelligence Section 9."
She paused for a moment and then said:
"If the war really reaches Backlund, you will take them on a ' Travel ' to Intis, Feynapotter..."
"It seems this is the only way..." Fors was about to talk about the food shopping trip to Intis a few days ago when he suddenly heard the alarm clock ring.
She jolted awake, sat bolt upright, and stretched out her right hand, adorned with a thin red string, reaching out to grab at the air.
Her arm suddenly sank, pulling out Gehrman Sparrow, who was wearing a silk hat, a black trench coat, and no glasses.
The aloof adventurer's eyes darted around, and he regained consciousness, reducing the drain on the " Magician's " Spirituality.
He nodded slightly, and the glove on his left hand quickly became transparent.
In less than a second, Gehrman Sparrow " Teleportation " away, disappearing from the house where Fors and Hugh were staying.
"..." Fors was stunned for a moment, then turned to Hugh with a slight twitch of her lips and said, "I feel like I'm just a tool..."
It was already dark, but the gas streetlights along the street were not lit; only the crimson the Moon illuminated the entire city.
Klein arrived at the agreed-upon place, glanced around, and lingered for a few seconds on the unusually deserted street, the burn marks on the wall, and the collapsed house not far away.
Judging from what he saw before him, Backlund was desolate, dilapidated, and already filled with the smell of gunpowder.
Just then, Emlyn White emerged from an alley and nodded to the mad adventurer.
Following the other party's instructions, he remained silent and did not bow, so as not to waste precious time Gehrman Sparrow directly to a nearby house and knocked rhythmically on the door.
With a creak, the door opened automatically, revealing a dark environment shrouded in the pale moonlight.
Emlyn and Klein stepped inside and saw Maric, dressed in a white shirt and black vest, appear on the sofa. The door behind them, as if it had a life of its own, slammed shut.
Emlyn glanced at Maric, then smiled and pointed at Klein, saying:
"This is my partner, Mr. Gehrman Sparrow."
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly noticed that Maric's gaze towards him had become even stranger, as if he were scrutinizing a fool.
"Long time no see." Maric then stood up, placed his hand on his chest, and bowed to Sherlock Moriarty.
Since the other party wasn't appearing as Sherlock Moriarty, he certainly wouldn't bring up related matters on his own initiative.
"Long time no see." Klein removed his top hat, looked around, and said, "Please ask Miss Sharron to come out and discuss this with us. My time is limited."
As he spoke, he took out his silver-white Adventurer Harmonica and played it once.
A figure dressed in a somber, elaborate long dress, carrying four blond, red-eyed heads, emerged from the void.
--The messenger summoned by the harmonica's Historical Projection is an objective existence and will not add any additional Spirituality burden to " Magician " Fors.
At the same time, Maric nodded and said:
"OK."
He turned his gaze to the bar stool on the other side of the room.
Emlyn looked blankly at the " Wraith," then at Gehrman Sparrow and the Spirit World creatures he had summoned, and inexplicably felt excluded, as if he shouldn't be there.
On that high stool, a figure quickly appeared. Her skin was as white as Puppet's, she wore an exquisite dark black court-style long dress, and a small soft hat of the same color. Her blonde hair was light, and her blue eyes were slightly lighter.
