Reining in his thoughts, Klein looked at the Concealment Angel opposite him and deliberated.
"Is there a possibility that the ruins you saw were actually imaginary?"
He didn't directly mention Adam and the Twilight Hermit Order, worried that directly discussing such matters in Arianna's concealment domain would be heard by Adam, who had grasped the Spectator pathway's Uniqueness and had obtained 0-08.
In Arianna's World of Concealment, Klein believed that it wasn't a problem to think about Adam and the Twilight Hermit Order, but it wasn't necessarily the case once he said it out loud. After all, Mr. Door had been able to discuss Adam with Rosell The Great without any scruples. Apart from the Secrets Sorcerer's Beyonder powers of Secret Guarding, "He" was also a King of Angels. "His" level wasn't lower than Adam and Amon's, and "He" might even be higher.
"Fantasy …" Arianna repeated the keyword in Klein's words in a low voice, as if she had already guessed it.
At "His" level and rank, "He" wasn't too unfamiliar with ancient history and the main characteristics of the twenty-two pathways.
Moreover, "He" was also an angel who acted on behalf of the authority of concealment and had the highest reading authority on all the information held by the Church.
A few seconds later, Arianna stared at the seated Dawn Dantès.
"Psychological Alchemy?"
From Qonas Kilgor's confession, it was obvious that the king's faction was cooperating with the Psychological Alchemy, and this was an organization that controlled the Spectator pathway.
Klein first nodded before adding, "That's right.
"Their higher-ups probably don't have the ability to dream.
"In this World, there are only one or two people who hold such authority."
Arianna nodded thoughtfully.
"I understand.
"Now that the underground relic is open to us, I'll find a way to verify it. If it's true, it means that one or several archbishops of the Church of Storm or Steam are his people."
"He" didn't mention the possibility that there was a problem with the upper echelons of the Church of Evernight. This was because the Goddess wielded the authority of concealment. In this aspect, it was very difficult for anyone to hide from "Her."
Klein was a little surprised when he heard that. He couldn't help but ask,
"The underground relic is open to the three churches?"
"Yes, if it really imagined it, then it means that their cooperation is close to success. They just need to delay it for a while." Arianna gave a simple explanation of her speculation.
That's exactly what I'm thinking … The tides of the times are about to surge in an attempt to drown everything … Thankfully, I'm more prepared than before. I have an additional marionette at the demigod level. In a sense, he's stronger than me. After all, he can use my Beyonder powers, while I can't use his … Since it's difficult to digest the Bizarro Sorcerer potion in a short period of time and seek an advancement, having a powerful marionette is also one of the effective measures to protect myself … The Sanguine and Miss Sharon's plans for Rose School can be paid attention to … Klein's thoughts ran wild.
He composed himself and asked casually,
"The three churches don't believe Prince Grove's words?"
"I don't believe it." Arianna shook her head frankly. "Qonas Kilgor mentioned Katerina."
But you don't have any evidence. After all, the other party can explain that after they severed ties with the Demoness Sect, Katarina was sent to reason with them in an attempt to mend their relationship, but she was cruelly rejected. During this process, as they knew each other's secrets, they didn't take action the moment they met. Qonas Kilgor, a demigod who doesn't know the inside story, mistakenly believed that they were still cooperating …
And against an Angel family that controlled at least half of the military, the three Churches couldn't just fall out with them without any evidence. Firstly, they weren't united. Secondly, they had to consider the possibility of countries like Feysac, Intis, and Feynapotter, as well as the Churches of the Eternal Blazing Sun, the God of Combat, Earth Mother, and the God of Knowledge and Wisdom taking advantage of the situation … Klein quickly made a judgment of the situation.
He simply mentioned, "That's right.
"There are traces of Saintess of White Katarina on Viscount Stratford's side. I'll try to find her."
Apart from that, Klein also wanted to find the dangerous Trissy and eliminate her. He wanted to make up for the mistake of letting her go in order to make use of the Demoness.
Her value was obviously not as great as her danger!
"I'll try as well." Arianna indicated that she would also investigate Katerina.
Hmm … I have to say that Madam Arianna's attitude when discussing matters with me is very comfortable. She doesn't give off the feeling of being condescending like an angel or an Archbishop Priestess. She completely treats me as an equal … Hearing Arianna's words, Klein felt inexplicably emotional.
He asked,
"Did you catch Hvin Rambis of the Psychological Alchemy?"
This was one of the key points in Qonas Kilgor's testimony. It was one of the clues that exposed the plot of the king's faction.
"He's missing," Arianna answered succinctly.
Indeed … The possibility of the news being leaked midway has increased … Hvin Rambis has gone underground, but it doesn't mean that he won't contact Miss Justice and his direct subordinates … When the time comes, heh, Miss Justice has hated him for a long time … The only problem is that Adam is currently in Baekeland and has "imagined" a fake ruin. If that's the case, attacking Hvin Rambis means that there's a high chance of being watched by this King of Angels. It's even possible that "He" is sitting beside Hvin Rambis without anyone knowing … The more Klein thought about it, the more he felt his teeth ache.
It had to be said that in this era where it was rare for a true deity to descend into the real World, the two brothers, Adam and Amon, were the upper limits of their status, level, and strength. They were synonymous with terror, power, and irresistibility.
A King of Angels was the existence closest to the divine throne!
Compared to Amon, I'm more afraid of Adam. Who knows when He will be sitting next to you, listening to you speak, looking at you with a smile, reading your truest thoughts, and letting you die a natural and reasonable death … Thinking of this, Klein couldn't help but look around, afraid that the simple-looking priest with innocent eyes and a beard was standing near the grill with a plate in his hand, waiting for food while smiling at him.
Without a doubt, Klein did not discover anything.
Noticing his reaction, Arianna calmly added,
"He's not here."
Phew, fortunately, I have the protection of the secret angel … Klein controlled his thoughts and nodded slightly.
"I'll keep an eye out for Hvin Rambis."
Arianna nodded.
"When this is over, you can try to pray to the goddess."
In other words, the Goddess is very satisfied with my performance this time. When the time comes, she will bestow me the Scholar of Yore potion formula? Klein roughly understood what Arianna was getting at. He stood up and tapped his chest four times in a clockwise fashion.
"Praise the Lady!"
Arianna also drew the crimson moon.
"Praise the Lady."
Her figure vanished inch by inch, as though she had been wiped away into thin air. And the guests at the bonfire banquet did not notice the ascetic's arrival and departure.
Klein sat down again and continued analyzing his situation from another angle.
Qonas Kilgor disappeared without any warning, and the evidence and words Ma 'am Arianna presented indicate that the deputy director of MI9 has fallen into "His" hands. In other words, the attack on Qonas Kilgor is definitely related to the Church of Evernight.
Qonas Kilgor disappeared in Maygur Manor. Maygur Manor belongs to Dawn Dantès, and Dawn Dantès is a believer of the Evernight Goddess …
From the king's faction and from what I know from Psychological Alchemy, there's a high chance that Dawn Dantès is a secret informant of the Church of Evernight …
This way, my safety can be guaranteed, but I can't avoid being watched and monitored. I have to be careful … I have to think of a reason to add a new servant in the future. I can't keep Qonas Kilgor or Enuni hiding. This will make it easier for problems to be discovered. Or, I can make one of the marionettes change into human-skin clothes and fuse with the other marionette …
As he thought about it, Klein stood up and placed the sweet white wine in his hand on the small table beside him. He turned around and walked back to the manor's main house and entered one of the washrooms.
He then took four steps counterclockwise and arrived above the gray fog. He beckoned for the Sea God Scepter and used the prayer light he had marked for Enuni to observe every corner of Maygur Manor.
During this process, Klein's mind was a little tense. He was rather worried that he would see a simple-dressed, bearded, golden-eyed priest.
Of course, compared to seeing such a priest, he was more afraid that the priest would raise his head and smile in response to his gaze before raising the wine glass in his hand.
Fortunately, after a series of inspections, he confirmed that there was nothing abnormal about Maygur Manor.
Klein heaved a sigh of relief and retracted his spirituality. He cast his gaze at the bronze cross placed on the long mottled table.
This was an item that the two Tarot members, the Magicians and Judgment, had just sacrificed. They said that they were thanking Mr. Fool for his various blessings, hoping to please this existence.
It looks like it's of quite a high level … Klein picked up the spiked cross and used divination to quickly grasp the Beyonder powers and negative effects of this mystical item.
The two were actually one.
This bronze cross could purify the powers of degeneration, filth, corrosion, darkness, evil, disease, and other domains, making them quickly dissipate until nothing remained.
Based on this principle, this mystical item could also remove the mental corruption of a Beyonder characteristic.
It was also because of this powerful and pure purification that the bronze cross repelled other mystical items and Beyonder characteristics from coming into contact with them. It couldn't coexist on the same person. Furthermore, it also repelled the wielder's Beyonder characteristic, but it was relatively less obvious. Over time, it would cause the Beyonder characteristic to seep out bit by bit!
In other words, if one wore or held the bronze cross for more than an hour, the Beyonder's Sequence would drop by at least one level. If it exceeded three hours, a non-demigod would definitely regress to an ordinary person. If it exceeded six hours, Sequence 4 and Sequence 3 saints would also lose their Beyonder powers. It was almost useless against angels because angels could shatter Beyonder characteristics and had extremely powerful control over their source of power.
It can be used to retrieve characteristics from Beyonders who failed to advance but didn't die or lose control … The powers of this cross are very similar to the Unshadowed of the Sun pathway … Klein nodded in thought.
