After processing the spoils and bestowing the Purification " Warlock King " Beyonder Characteristic upon Emlyn White, Klein didn't rush to leave " Sefirah Castle." He briefly reviewed the day's battle.
His main focus was on the performance of the " God's Abomination " Suah various aspects, in order to assess just how powerful an Angel could be.
If we were to meet head-on and fight without holding back, I might not even have a chance to "summon" an Angel projection, unless I succeed in one go... Of course, my target Dark Demonic Wolf, is Sequence 2 " Miracle Invoker," while the " God's Abomination " Suah is already Sequence 1, so the gap between us should still be quite large... However, the Dark Demonic Wolf and I both belong to the " Seer " pathway, which gives it a comprehensive advantage over me, Low-Sequence individual... I can only be thankful that it hasn't completed its ritual and advanced to Sequence 1 yet, otherwise I would have absolutely no hope of winning... Sequence 1... As his thoughts raced, Klein's eyes suddenly narrowed, and he sat up straight.
He just had a sudden Spirit Intuition and thought of a possibility:
Could it be that the Dark Demonic Wolf Kotar has already advanced to become Sequence 1 " Attendant of Mysteries," and that his creation of the Marionette City is merely a ploy to mislead potential pursuers, such as the " Angel of Time," Amon?
That possibility cannot be ruled out... Well, there is another possibility, which is that the Dark Demonic Wolf Kotar has completely mastered that " Curtain " and has the strength of a Quasi -Sequence 1... The more Klein thought about it, the more he felt that the next action might be more dangerous than he had anticipated.
The Dark Demonic Wolf could survive in the Forsaken Land of the Gods for so many years, and that even Amon, the " God of Deceit," could not successfully capture it, shows that it had reached a very high level in both strength and Wisdom!
More preparations need to be made regarding His hunting plan... Klein frowned slightly and slowly exhaled.
Backlund, West Borough, inside the Odora family villa.
Emlyn sat on the leather sofa in the drawing room, his right leg crossed over his left thigh, patiently waiting for Baron Kasimi to arrive.
Not long after, the middle-aged, gentlemanly Sanguine Baron entered the drawing room, glanced at Emlyn, and said:
" White Viscount, what brings you here so late at night?"
Emlyn smiled and said:
"Isn't this the start of a new day? Look how beautiful the red moon is outside the window."
Kasimi really wanted to retort to the young Sanguine by saying that while he was at the Harvest Church, he maintained a "good sleep schedule" of waking up at seven in the morning and going to bed before eleven at night, but after hesitating for a moment, he restrained himself and instead said:
What exactly do you want?
Emlyn raised his hand to pat his tuxedo, adjusted his bow tie, and slowly rose to his feet, slightly raising his chin as he said:
Tell Lord Nibes that he can prepare for a 'Count's investiture' ceremony.
"..." Kasimi asked instinctively, "What are you talking about?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly realized something and remembered Emlyn's previous application:
"You, you obtained the Beyonder Characteristic of the Earl, no, the ' Warlock King '?"
Emlyn savored the feeling of the moment and responded with a smile:
"Did you think I was just joking when I mentioned ' Pure White Gaze '?"
As he spoke, he took out the bronze box inlaid with several rubies, opened it, and showed the eye-shaped glass ball inside, indicating that he had not lost it and would return it soon.
Kasimi's eyes flickered a few times before he said:
"Does the Temperance Faction of the Rose School of Thought still maintain such strength?"
"Then why should they cooperate with you?"
The high-ranking Sanguine in Backlund, namely Marquis Nibes Odora, Kasimi's grandfather, were not very optimistic about Emlyn's previous application. They were waiting for Emlyn's cooperation with the Temperance Faction of the Rose School of Thought to fail, forcing him to seek help from Demigod like themselves.
Emlyn glanced at him and replied with a smile:
"Secret."
This was a tone he picked up from Gehrman Sparrow, which he thought was cool and suited his taste.
This is also a key point that the " The Hanged Man " repeatedly told him during previous free exchanges at the Tarot Club:
Only by maintaining an air of mystery can the Sanguine elites develop a certain degree of fear, preventing them from finding excuses or using their status to take away the " Warlock King " characteristics.
Before Kasimi could respond, Emlyn tossed down the bronze box containing the " Pure White Gaze," buttoned his tuxedo, and walked past the Baron toward the door of the drawing room.
As they were about to leave, Emlyn paused, without turning back, his back ramrod straight as he looked straight ahead and said:
"Remember to address me as Your Excellency the Earl next time."
With the favor of the Progenitor and the high regard of the " The Moon," he was full of confidence in becoming the " Warlock King."
Kasimi's facial muscles twitched slightly, but he remained silent until Emlyn left, at which point his expression Distortion uncontrollably.
As Sanguine existed since the time of Roselle, he was many years older than Emlyn, but even now, he was only a Baron, just slightly better than those without titles. Meanwhile, Emlyn, the younger generation who had become a laughing stock in the Backlund Sanguine circle, was about to cross the boundary between gods and mortals and become Sequence 4 " Warlock King," Sanguine count.
How could Kasimi not lose his composure, not Envy, and not be shocked?
It took him several minutes to regain his composure. He made his way into the underground area, passing through several secret doors, until he arrived at the gray hall where Nibes slept.
"Grandfather, Emlyn's operation was a success."
Within the heavy, black iron-like coffin, there was a brief silence. After three or four seconds, Nibes finally spoke:
"The power behind him is beyond imagination..."
The Sanguine marquis's voice was deep and aged, with a slight hoarseness, echoing throughout the hall.
"Grandfather, Emlyn succeeded because of ' Pure White Gaze,' and the spoils he received should rightfully be shared among the clan," Kasimi said, somewhat reluctantly but with a hint of anticipation.
Nibes's voice grew a little louder:
"Madness!
"Is it possible for anyone or any faction to hunt down a ' Warlock King ' when the Rose School of Thought's Indulgence Faction was clearly prepared?"
"After so many years of losses, how much strength does the Temperance Faction of the Rose School of Thought still have left?"
"At most, there would be one Angel in poor condition, or a '0' level Sealed Artifact, plus two or three Demigod. Even all of this combined wouldn't be enough to restrain a ' God's Abomination ' named Suah. The Rose School of Thought also has other Angel, other '0' level Sealed Artifact, a considerable number of Demigod, as well as the projection of the ' Chained God ' and the favor of the ' Mother Tree of Desire '."
"You can calculate how many Angel and '0' level Sealed Artifact Emlyn will need to deploy to succeed in this operation. That's a force comparable to ours!"
"Don't investigate Emlyn's other accomplices anymore!"
After shouting those words a few times, Nibes coughed twice, sounding somewhat strained.
Kasimi's face turned pale and then flushed, and it took him a long time to calm down.
"So... are we really going to prepare a ceremony for him?"
"Otherwise?" Nibes retorted, then sighed, "Perhaps after Emlyn embarked on his adventures for the future of the Sanguine, the Progenitor truly began to favor him..."
Sonia Sea, Lashia Island.
Having departed the " Future " via a safe passage and used Fairy Tale Magic to reach this Concealment island, " Admiral of Stars " Cattleya arrived before a mountain peak and recited a Jotun's incantation to the empty cliff face:
" Door Opening Sesame!"
A path suddenly appeared on the cliff face, seemingly real yet unreal, its destination unknown.
Using her expertise in prophecy, Cattleya quickly assessed the potential dangers before venturing onto the path and venturing deep into the cliff face.
As she walked, her vision suddenly opened up before her, revealing a sea as clear as a sapphire and a magnificent castle made entirely of emerald.
This is the Emerald City of the " Mystery Queen " Bernadette.
Cattleya was no stranger to this place and easily passed the gatekeeper golem's questions and various tests before arriving at the semi-open room inside the castle with the best view.
The tall queen stood behind the railing, gazing at the rolling waves.
For some reason, the excitement, joy, and elation hidden deep within Cattleya suddenly subsided at this moment, giving rise to a sense of peace, comfort, and freedom.
In the past, when she sailed at sea, she would sometimes feel lonely and sad, like a leaf separated from a tree, left to be blown by the wind to different places. But now, she seemed to have landed on the ground, right next to that tree.
She opened her mouth, but for a moment didn't know what to say. In the end, she simply pushed up her heavy glasses and greeted them briefly:
Good afternoon, Your Majesty.
Bernadette turned around and nodded slightly.
"I have summoned you back to Emerald City because I have some items and matters to entrust to you."
Cattleya instinctively asked in return:
Why should it be handed over to me?
The Queen has a Concealment organization called " Element Dawn " and a group of pirates under her command!
Bernadette did not directly answer Cattleya's question, but instead said:
"I received a lead earlier and hastily left Backlund."
"I remember that," Cattleya interjected.
Bernadette's long, straight eyebrows twitched slightly.
"Following this clue, I pieced together an incomplete nautical chart from the descendants of Edwards, William, Pally, and others. This Record records some of the places my father explored in the Sonia Sea."
"With the help of this nautical chart and my own prophetic abilities, I can roughly guess that a certain sea area far from safe shipping lanes may be hiding his secrets. I plan to go there on the ' Dawn ' and conduct a long search."
"I'm not sure when I'll be able to return, maybe never, so I have to give you some items and things in advance."
After listening attentively, Cattleya replied without hesitation:
"I'll go with you."
"That's my father. This is a matter for me alone Mystery Queen," Bernadette slowly shook her head.
Cattleya paused for a few seconds and then said:
"If you don't come back, I'll do the same thing."
