"You are?" Klein asked in a rather complicated state of calmness.
The lady in the simple robe nodded slightly.
"Arianna, Servant of Concealment."
Servant of Concealment … Arianna … Klein's eyes narrowed slightly as he knew the identity of the lady in front of him.
As a Beyonder of the Nighthawks, how could he be unfamiliar with the name Arianna?
The matron of the Evernight cloister, the head of the thirteen archbishops, and a possible future pope. Regardless of her identity, it was common knowledge in religion and mysticism!
As for the name Servant of Concealment, Klein had read about it in Rosell The Great's diary. Combined with similar names like Attendant of Mysteries, he suspected that it pointed to the level of an angel. At the same time, according to the Law of Beyonder Characteristics Conservation, it was impossible for Arianna to be a Sequence 1 angel when there was a Sequence 0 present. Klein believed that the Servant of Concealment was likely a Sequence 2 of the Evernight pathway.
This … It's not that the Goddess didn't respond, but the way she responded is very special … She directly sent her "servant" over … Klein had mixed feelings that were indescribable.
After a few seconds of silence, he solemnly bowed.
"Good afternoon, Your Highness Arianna."
In the various Churches, if a demigod at the level of an angel walked the earth, they would add the suffix "Your Highness" when addressing them in person as a sign of respect. Similarly, representatives of the deity's will such as popes, popes, and patriarchs had to add "Your Holiness." In addition, the leader of a Church could also be referred to as "Patriarch" or "Holy See." Of course, most of the time, "Holy See" could also be used to refer to the Church.
Arianna tapped her chest four times in a clockwise manner as she replied piously.
"May the Goddess bless you."
She then said,
"I'm an ascetic. You can directly call me Ma 'am."
"Yes, Ma 'am Arianna." Klein didn't insist at all.
Arianna looked at him calmly for two seconds before asking directly,
"You want to deal with Blasphemer Amon's avatar in Baekeland?"
"Yes, I wish to obtain the blessings of Concealment," Klein answered frankly.
At this moment, he suddenly felt a little troubled. This was because it was different from what he had expected.
His original idea was that the Goddess would bless and protect him. Then, he would join forces with Pallez Zoroast in Leonard to eliminate all of Amon's avatars in Baekeland. During this process, it wouldn't expose the problem of Leonard and the Marauder pathway angel. But now, the blessings had become corporeal and would participate in battle. Once Pallez Zoroast took action, he would definitely be discovered. When that happened, the outcome would be.
The Klein didn't want him to join forces with Pallez Zoroast. Let him just be an informant and share some of the spoils of war? As Klein's thoughts raced, Arianna spoke in an unhurried manner.
"I can use the power of concealment to prevent anything that happens from being seen, but I can't guarantee that I can eliminate all of Amon's avatars in Backlund."
Pallez Zoroast said that "He" can do it … The one who understands Amon the most is indeed a Sequence 1 of the same pathway … Klein thought for a moment.
"Ma 'am Arianna, I already have a mature and complete plan. All you need is the power of Concealment. There's no need for you to participate in the actual battle. I'll handle the rest."
Arianna nodded, raised her right arm, and opened her palm.
Specks of light lit up, deep and resplendent. They quickly outlined a medal in her palm.
The medal was crystalline, as though it was made of black gemstones. It gave people the feeling that it existed when they looked at it, but it would vanish when they didn't look at it.
"This is my Evernight Coat of Arms. It doesn't have any characteristics or powers. Its only use is to form a connection with me once it's activated, regardless of where you are in the real World," Arianna simply described. "Before you begin your operation, remember to use it. I will provide you with the power of concealment. If you need more direct help, use ancient Hermes to say the name 'Arianna' while activating it."
This is equivalent to a solidified altar and ritual that points to me … Hmm, at the level of an angel, the range of responding to prayers has expanded to include the entire World? Klein instantly grasped the essence of the Evernight Coat of Arms.
As a Bizarro Sorcerer, he was still unable to respond to prayers. This was a trait that only Sequence 3 possessed. Of course, as Sea God and The Fool, he was sufficiently skilled in this aspect.
Klein didn't decline. He received the Evernight Coat of Arms and bowed sincerely.
"Thank you for your bestowment."
With that said, he tapped his chest four times in a clockwise fashion, drawing the crimson moon.
"Praise the Lady!"
This way, he could still join forces with Pallez Zoroast. As long as he didn't need to chant the name "Arianna" in ancient Hermes when activating the Evernight Coat of Arms, it wouldn't be a problem.
"Praise the Lady," Arianna replied piously.
Her figure disappeared as though she had been erased by an eraser.
Did she leave by transforming into a concealed state? Klein pursed his lips with a guess.
At the same time, he was filled with doubts about how Arianna could arrive so quickly. After all, the Evernight pathway wasn't the type that was good at teleportation. It definitely wouldn't take a long time to travel from the Winter County Church to Baekeland, but it definitely wouldn't be short either.
My ritual isn't the kind that prays for a direct descent … Could it be that Ma 'am Arianna happens to be in the vicinity, in the greater Baekeland region? Isn't this too much of a coincidence? If it's not a coincidence, the problem is even more serious. What's "She" doing in the Baekeland region? Undercurrents are surging … Klein retracted his gaze and patiently waited for a while before transforming back into Dwayne Dantès.
He took out a pen and paper again and drew a symbol that was a combination of concealment and prying eyes.
Just as the last stroke of the symbol was completed, the full-body mirror in the master bedroom emitted a dark but pure light, like the surging undercurrents at the bottom of a lake.
Right on the heels of that, rows of saluting cannons appeared in the mirror, firing fireworks into the sky.
Gold, silver, red, and blue exploded, forming words in the mirror.
"Welcome back, Great Master!
"Your loyal servant, Arrodes, has witnessed that you have regained a portion of your authority. I'm trembling at your gradually recovering aura. You will eventually return to that supreme position, allowing the entire World to turn calm under your gaze!"
This sure is enthusiastic … There's something new every time … Klein nodded slightly without saying a word.
Amidst the fireworks, the words collapsed and reformed, forming a new sentence.
"Great Master, what instructions do you have?"
"I have a question," Klein said calmly. "In a place where one will encounter danger in the darkness, how should one create a safe and pure darkness? There are probably two types of danger. The first is to make people evaporate in the darkness, and the second is to be attacked by strange monsters. "
On the full-body mirror's surface, the fireworks calmed down as aqueous light rippled. Silver words appeared one after another.
"Great Master, are you referring to the Forsaken Land of the Gods?"
This magic mirror knows quite a bit. It even gave me a question in passing … Klein nodded.
"Yes."
Without any pause, Arrodes revealed line after line of Rouen text on the full-body mirror.
"The formation of the Forsaken Land of the Gods is related to the fall of the second Creator. The danger of the night there should originate from the mutation of two intrinsic powers.
"Firstly, it's the remnant divine powers of the Evernight Goddess. Secondly, it's the influence left behind by the Creator. 'He' wields the authority of shadows, darkness, corruption, corruption, and mutations. The former can make living beings vanish into thin air, while the latter can directly produce monsters in the darkness. "
So the two dangers originate from different powers. It's no wonder there's such a huge difference in performance … Arrodes calls the ancient Sun God the second Creator … This is very close to my guess … Amon and Adam's father wasn't the awakening of the original Creator, but a transmigrator who inherited a huge "inheritance"? Klein asked in thought.
"In that case, the Evernight Goddess was involved in the fall of the second Creator?"
This was something that Klein had vaguely expected. This was because in the darkness of the Forsaken Land of the Gods, humans would vanish as though they had evaporated. It was very similar to the situation in the ruins of the battle of the gods where people would mysteriously vanish if they didn't sleep at night. And according to Little Sun's description, the King of Demonic Wolves, Flegrea, who wielded the authority of Evernight and Concealment, had long perished in the Second Epoch. It was impossible for "Him" to have done it.
Therefore, unless another deity of the Evernight pathway was born in between, it was very difficult for the two strange phenomena to not be related to the Evernight Goddess.
On the surface of the mirror, the silver light quickly converged and condensed into a word.
"Yes."
Right … Klein was just about to press further when he suddenly shut his mouth. This was because he recalled his identity — Blessed of the Evernight. Therefore, even when no one was watching, he had to pay attention to his respect for the deities. He couldn't seek out the related secrets. Of course, that was excluding the mysterious space above the gray fog.
Just as he was about to return to the previous question and urge Arrodes to list out a solution, he saw the silver words in the full-body mirror squirm and change.
"Great Master, your loyal servant, Arrodes, has a tiny request. C-can we not discuss anything related to the Evernight Goddess?"
At the end of the question, there was a simple drawing of a person who had shrunk into a ball.
Just what I wanted … Klein deliberately pondered for two seconds.
"Alright."
On the surface of the mirror, the flowing of the silver marks suddenly became brisk as the words took form one after another.
"There are two solutions to your previous question.
"The first is to accept corruption and transform yourself into a monster in the darkness. The reason why these creatures don't vanish into thin air in the night is because they are protected by the authority of Degeneration. This way, all the darkness will be pure and safe.
"The second is to create a darkness that comes with a temporary World of Dreams. It will allow the Spirit Body to be protected by the Dream. This can effectively slow down the corrosion of the dangerous night."
