Although he managed to get a sumptuous dinner and saved at least £1 on meal expenses, Klein still couldn't be happy.
George III, Goddess of Night, God of War, Emperor Russell, Amon...
One name after another echoed in his mind.
He thought a lot.
But in the end, he was denied by himself one by one.
too weak……
Sequence 7 is still too weak.
"Speaking of which, I had the same emotion when I was in Sequence 9 and Sequence 8." Walking out of the Joestar Manor, Klein couldn't help but smile bitterly as he looked at the crimson moon above his head.
With the help of the dim moonlight, he looked at the gold-gilt business card in his hand.
The business card belongs to that guy Jon.
But that's not the point. The point is the small line of text on the back of the business card, which is equivalent to a letter of introduction. It allows him to contact the youngest son of Baron Sindelas, and in disguise, connects him with the conservative nobles.
"No matter what, you still need to know the people you are about to face in advance." Klein's fingertips were slightly forceful, "After all, the 'Magician' is never afraid of difficult challenges, nor does he perform unprepared performances."
…
…
Plans are always interrupted by unexpected events of one kind or another.
Klein originally wanted to expand his network of contacts through Derek Sindras and establish himself as the detective 'Sherlock Moriarty'. Unexpectedly, before he could take action, something happened in Backlund that shocked the whole city.
major events
——The leader of the Conservative Party, Duke Negan, was assassinated in the early morning and died unexpectedly!
In an instant, the Conservative Party was in chaos, and even Baron Sindelas and his two sons could not rest at ease.
Under such circumstances, how could they deal with Sherlock Moriarty, a little-known detective?
"Who could have done it? The New Party of Loen, the Orthodox Church, or a secret organization?" Klein, who had hit a wall, returned to the detective agency, frowning.
He was keenly aware that Duke Negan's assassination was most likely related to George III's becoming a god soon.
The weakening of the power of the Conservative Party can intensify the division of power in the Loen Kingdom, create conditions for change, use war to divert internal conflicts, and point the finger at Fusac.
Moreover, Klein also learned from some special channels that Duke Negan was a loyal believer of the Church of Storms. His death would definitely intensify the conflict between the Church of Storms and the Loen nobles and the royal family, which would have a far-reaching impact.
"Maybe I should talk to Miss Justice..." An idea came to Klein's mind.
But soon, he gave up this idea.
After pondering for a moment, he picked up his coat and hat and came to Mr. A's villa with the face of 'Sherlock Moriarty' on his face.
Mr. a happens to be at home
——After the last meeting with Jon Joestar, the Aurora Society has restrained its power. From top to bottom, every believer is very honest.
"Sherlock." Mr. A's attitude was as gentle as ever, "I'm so glad to see you. Have you finished digesting the 'Listener' potion? I have prepared the 'Hermit' potion and extraordinary materials for you.
.”
Hearing this, Klein was slightly startled.
It has only been a few days since 'Sherlock Moriarty' was promoted to Sequence 8, but Mr. A is so impatient. Are you really afraid that he will lose control?
But then I thought about it, the way to play the role of 'Listener' is to constantly listen to the ravings of the "True Creator". The more you listen, the faster the potion will be digested and you can maintain your external calm, which means that you are 'Sherlock Moriarty'
'The digestion progress is quite smooth, and there is no risk of losing control for the time being.
Klein nodded and said: "In a few days, I think we can try to advance to Sequence 7."
Extraordinaries of the 'Secret Prayer' pathway need more luck than Extraordinaries of the 'Monster' pathway. Those who do not lose control are the cubs favored by the 'True Creator'.
Sequence 7 potion formulas and extraordinary materials are free of charge.
After all, the Black Iron Cross can be regarded as the extraordinary item with the greatest potential and the highest status in him besides the Source Castle.
"Very good." Mr. A smiled brightly.
Sherlock Moriarty is not only the backbone of the Aurora Order, but he is also on good terms with another angel. If you train him carefully, you will definitely make money.
Thinking of this, he spoke softly, "Sherlock, are you in any trouble when you come to me?"
Jon sat down opposite Mr. A and said truthfully: "No, I just want to know, does the assassination of Duke Negan early this morning have anything to do with us?"
For fear of Mr. A misunderstanding, he also deliberately explained: "That's it, I originally wanted to make friends with the conservative party to expand my network of contacts, but I didn't expect that something like this happened.
After thinking about it, only you, Mr. A, have the strength to get rid of that infidel quietly."
The reason was lame and the compliment was perfunctory.
But Mr. A didn't take it seriously and said with a smile: "Sherlock, it doesn't have to be like this. We are both servants of the Lord. There is no need to be secretive."
He crossed his legs and said, "Let me tell you the truth, we didn't do this."
For the first time, Jiguo will no longer take the blame!
Klein felt a chill in his heart and asked, "So, who is it?"
"I'm not sure. The Witch Sect, the Twilight Hermits, the Loen Royal Family... any force is possible." Mr. A did not hide his disdain, "Despicable heretics, even their methods are so laughable."
Klein nodded repeatedly.
The attitude is extremely correct.
Mr. A looked at 'Sherlock Moriarty' with a look of approval, thought for a while, and decided to reveal some key information, "The Loen royal family came to me yesterday and said that they would be in Baekeland in a while.
Germany will launch a sacrifice, and those witches will also take action."
Sacrifice?
Godhood Ceremony!
Klein naturally connected the two.
"I have agreed." Mr. A gently turned the ring on his index finger, "This is in our interests."
After a pause, he added: "Of course, there are some deeper considerations, but I won't tell you this part."
Klein:......
If you don't tell me, don't mention it.
The Riddlers must all die!
"Thank you for clarifying my doubts." Taking a deep breath, Klein stood up and saluted Mr. A.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Mr. A spoke gently, "There is still some time before the sacrifice, enough for you to rise to Sequence 7. At that time, I will give you some important tasks.
Don’t slack off.”
Klein's heart moved slightly and he quickly nodded in agreement.
After leaving the Aurora Society's station, Klein had a clearer understanding of the 'future'.
First, the joint sacrifice between the Loen royal family, the Aurora Society and the Witch Sect.
Secondly, Jon III’s becoming a god ceremony.
Finally, the national war and the divine war are about to begin.
Just like a drama, the scenes are closely linked.
"So, what role will I play in it?" Klein looked up at the sky.
Even though it was almost noon, the sky above Backlund was still foggy.
Suddenly, he thought of what Jon Joestar said, 'The fog has been getting thicker and thicker recently' and 'Numbliss is the breeding ground of death'.
If you think about it carefully, even outsiders like him have gradually become accustomed to the hazy weather in Backlund, let alone the people who have lived here for a long time.
So, ‘sacrifice’ has something to do with this thick fog?
The intuitions of Extraordinary people in the 'divine' path are often sharp. With this thought popping up in his mind, Klein quickly returned to the detective office, got into the bathroom, walked four steps backwards to the top of the gray fog, and used the citrine spirit to
A divination was made.
The pendulum rotates clockwise, indicating that Klein's guess is correct.
Act One: Sacrifice is indeed related to the increasingly intense smog weather.
Moreover, based on the "Roselle Diary" and the 'popular science' Jon Joestar gave him about the characteristics and promotion requirements of the 'Assassin' path Extraordinary, he couldn't help but shudder.
"Using the haze as a carrier, the witches spread pain and despair and complete the promotion ceremony."
"The Aurora Society took the opportunity to recruit desperate people and spread the belief in the "True Creator."
"The Loon royal family will use this incident as an excuse to force reforms, disintegrate the last remaining power of the Conservative Party, and create conditions for George III's godhood ceremony."
Although his sequence is not high, Klein is quite smart.
With extremely sufficient known conditions, he truly understood the intentions of all parties.
But at the same time, he couldn't help but feel trembling and frightened.
"Believe in the power of the gods, don't believe in the kindness of the gods..." Klein sat quietly on the chair belonging to "The Fool", his face as dark as water.
He felt powerless.
It felt like something was blocked in my chest.
yes.
His thoughts never belonged to this era.
Therefore, after knowing about the upcoming catastrophe, even though the people of Backlund had nothing to do with him, he still felt dull and suffocated.
Those gods...
How indifferent!
He is Zhou Mingrui.
He is Crane Moretti.
He is the 'Fool' above the gray fog.
But in the final analysis, he is a "person".
A "person" who has a clear sense of right and wrong and knows what is good and what is bad!
At least for now, he still retains quite complete humanity.
"I want to do something." Klein's fingers tapped lightly on the long bronze table.
He whispered something under his breath, and his eyes became more determined, "I want to do something!"
If he doesn't do something, he will feel unhappy.
Then here comes the problem.
How to make trouble?
With the strength of Sequence 7?
As a ‘magician’?
No!
That's too shabby.
If you want to do it, do it in a big way!
And the biggest card in his hand is undoubtedly ‘that guy’!
I am certain in my heart.
Klein communicates with a certain crimson star spiritually.
Not long after, a figure appeared on the armchair of the Wheel of Fortune.
"The great 'Lord of Origin Castle'." Jon was slightly surprised to be pulled into the gray mist, but his expression was extremely calm, "What do you want from me?"
"Mr. Destiny," Klein said with a smile, "I'm afraid I'm going to trouble you this time."
"What did you say? Destiny asked me to stand by your side. This is my duty." Jon smiled, "I wonder if there is anything I can do for you?"
Klein pondered for a moment and said, "I don't want to see the birth of a new god."
Hearing this, Jon fell into silence.
After a long time, he quietly said: "For every gift, 'destiny' has a price marked on it."
Mr. Ke, this job requires extra money.
Of course, Klein could understand the deeper meaning of Jon's words.
Although Audrey and the others, and even the survivors of Silver City, thought that Jon Joestar was the angel beside "The Fool", in fact, he was just sent by the "Master of Destiny" to befriend the "Lord of Source Castle"
diplomatic ambassador.
"That's fair." Klein was already prepared and nodded lightly.
no way.
If you want to get something, you must give something.
Anyway, the "Master of Destiny" won't be able to see him for a while.
Again, just owe it to yourself first.
"Follow your will." The transaction was established, and Jon bowed slightly.
‘Preventing a Sequence 1 from becoming a god in a game of multi-party forces’, if converted into gold pounds, one million pounds would not be excessive at all.
By the way, we also need to consider the 92% off.
Mr. Qiao counted his fingers and found out that Klein already owed him pounds.
Even if it was true that in the original fate track, Klein fell into a deep sleep in order to prevent the resurrection of Tianzun's will, he would still have to put a clone next to Klein, always holding his ear to remind him to pay back the money...
Of course, Crane didn't know the evil thoughts in Jon's heart.
He said solemnly: "This time, my roller may be able to help you a little bit."
Jon was stunned for a moment, pretending to suddenly realize, "Did you teach that kind of writing to Klein? Okay, I understand. In this way, he can indeed be of great help."
Klein: Meow meow meow?
I didn't understand, but I decided to play dumb.
After a brief exchange of words, the two ended the conversation.
Return to the real world.
Klein has been waiting for Jon to come.
Sure enough, he saw that handsome face in the evening.
"Crane, my friend, we have work to do."
Jon smiled and sat down opposite Klein, and began to look at the decoration of the detective office. He couldn't help but smile and said: "You didn't waste the funds approved by the Aurora Society at all. Yes, it's very impressive."
Klein didn't say anything and poured Jon a cup of coffee...cold.
Jon looked at the cup with disgust and chose to put it on the table.
Then, he said: "How much do you know about Russell's writing? Can you recognize it all? Can you write and read it?"
Klein said truthfully: "Okay."
"Although I have said it many times, she really favors you as a scroller." Jon stood up, "If we want to achieve our goal, besides the two of us, it is best to find another helper."
helper?
who?
Klein's first reaction was the Church of the Night.
After all, he is a public servant. Knowing the true purpose of the Night Goddess, he still has special feelings for the Church of the Night.
However, Jon said a name that was relatively unfamiliar to him but also somewhat familiar, "Queen of Mystery."
‘Queen of Mystery’?
Who is that?
Klein was confused.
Jon smiled, "Maybe I should say, Bernadette Gustave."
Gustav...
Gustav!
Klein often reads "Roselle's Diary", so how could he not know that his fellow countryman's name in this world is Russell Gustav.
Based on the previous diary contents, Bernadette should be Russell’s daughter!
"It seems that you know who Bernadette is, so it will be easier to handle. Haha, after all, it involves the 'Black Emperor', so she should contribute."
Jon patted Klein on the shoulder, "I'll leave it to you then, Klein."
