A steam train bound for the city of Conston in Makai County.

Dressed as a wandering magician, Crane looked at the young man and his parents across a narrow table with objects:

"I have two kinds of magic tricks, one is to make your wishes come true, and the other is to answer your questions with a mirror, of course, the first magic trick requires payment, and the second one has to answer the questions asked by the mirror, what kind of show do you want to see?"

The young man, who had black hair and brown eyes, seemed to be relatively well educated, looked at his parents sitting next to him, and said with a smile:

"My wish is too difficult, so I won't trouble you.

"Relatively speaking, I was more curious about mirrors that could answer questions. ”

Crane sighed and shook his head, flipping his left hand to reveal a silver mirror that could fit into the sleeve, with a black gem on each side.

"It seems to be an antique. The young man on the other side commented with interest, and then said, "My question is, what is the purpose of my visit to Conston City?"

Crane had the usual smile on his face, stretched out his right hand to touch the surface of the mirror, and whispered quite seriously:

"The Magic Mirror tells me what the answer to the question is. ”

After three times, he let go of his right hand and showed the surface of the mirror to the three passengers opposite.

There are already a few more silver words on it:

"Go get married. ”

“...... Magical. The young man and his parents looked at each other, their expressions incredulous.

When they boarded the train, they never talked about weddings or showed anything that could be associated with them.

This kind of magic that does not rely on props and fake spectators, they have seen it for the first time.

"Alright, it's time to ask the question. Crane smiled and placed his right hand over the surface of the mirror.

"Okay. The young man replied curiously.

"Next, let's see what questions the Magic Mirror asks. As if he were doing a formal magic show, Klein let go of his right hand with a slight pomp.

The silver words on the surface of the mirror have changed, stretched into a complete sentence:

"You'd rather your bride be a lady over forty, right?"

The young man's expression froze, then turned pale, then flushed completely.

"How is that possible!" he immediately retorted, and couldn't help but look sideways at his parents, and complained hurriedly, "What a strange question!"

“...... It's a joke. Crane smiled apologetically, and quickly pressed his right hand to the surface of the mirror, as if he didn't know this would happen beforehand.

Immediately after, he let go of his right hand again.

Sure enough, the text on the surface of the mirror changed again:

"How old are you?"

"Twenty-five,......" the young man replied cautiously, seemingly afraid that he would fall into the trap.

He felt that the way his parents and the passengers around him looked at him had changed.

"Alright, this magic show ends here. Crane smiled and put away the mirror, "You can try another kind of magic." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the steam train whistled, a sign of impending arrival.

"Sorry, it's time for me to get off. Klein took out his gold-shelled pocket watch and looked at it.

He immediately picked up his luggage, followed the crowd of passengers, and left the steam train, and came to the platform, where the gas street lights were not yet on.

This is Beldan Castle in Makai County, a city that rose and fell into decline due to coal mines.

For Klein, the greatest significance here is that it was an important node in the previous world wars, when Ferssack invaded the route.

- There were three routes of invasion, one was to attack the Amanda Mountains on the border and try to break through the land defenses there, one was to attack the coastal ports from Sunia Island and try to land, and the other was to start at the Sea and invade along the main railway to Beckland.

Among them, due to the existence of the Storm Church and the power of the ironclad ships and the high-ranking "arbiters", the navies of Fursack and Fenerport have never been able to achieve the expected results, and even failed to control the sea dominance, while on the battlefield of the Amanda Mountains, the headquarters of the Night Church blocked wave after wave of attacks and did not fall until the end of the war, so that Wintershire, East Chester County and other places did not directly suffer the baptism of war.

Of the three routes, the only one that succeeded was the Makai Army, which combined land and water to capture Conston City, the capital of Makai County, the second largest city in Rune, and then advanced all the way southeast to join the Indisians in the Beckland region.

Klein plays the role of a wandering magician, on the one hand, to accumulate wishes, perform miracles, digest potions, and improve strength, and on the other hand, he intends to retrace the path of war, and use his own eyes, ears, and his own heart to truly see the trauma of the previous war.

Knowing the secrets of the starry sky and the underworld, he can understand the plans of the "Goddess of the Night" and accept them to some extent, but this does not mean that he will be indifferent to those sacrifices.

At the same time, he also determined one thing, that is, even if he failed to prevent George III from becoming the "Black Emperor", a world war would still break out, but Rune would have the upper hand, and the "Goddess of the Night" and his allies would oppress the "God of War" head-on, and gradually force him to seek the help of the "Mother Earth Goddess".

At that time, the number, intensity, and scale of the Divine War will surpass the current one.

For this reason, Klein wandered forward along the route of the Fusak invasion, station by station.

Leaving the platform where there were still traces of cannon fodder, he carried a worn-out suitcase with a change of clothes, discerned the direction, and walked towards what might have been a hotel.

At night, he wanders the city's streets and performs wish magic tricks.

After a few steps, Klein was inspired and set his sights on the end of the street.

There passed a figure of a woman wearing a simple linen robe, a bark belt, long black hair, and no shoes and socks.

Arianna!

The leader of the ascetics of the Church of the Night, the angel Arianna on earth!

How did he come to Berdan? Shouldn't he have returned to the Abbey of the Night in the Church of Tranquility at this time? Or was he sent to St. Millon, the capital of Vsak, to preside over the reception of the "Legacy of the God of War"? It would not be easy for an angel walking on earth to appear in such a small city...... Crane was puzzled for a moment and frowned slightly.

He hesitated, but finally decided to ask a question or two.

It's not that he wants to meddle in things, but everyone is in the same city, and if something happens, no one can escape.

But at this time, Arianna had disappeared into the crowd, and as a "secret servant", he had no way to track down Klein if he wanted to, and similarly, in the matter of "secret" relations, "Magic Mirror" Arodes was also a little powerless.

Crane took a slow breath, turned thoughtfully and entered the hotel, opened a room, and put his luggage away.

Then, dressed as a wandering magician, he took the "magic mirror" Arodes, and followed the spiritual instincts of the "soothsayer" all the way to the town square of Beldan.

In the area near the city hall, there is a sign with many notices on it.

Seeing that many people were watching, and it seemed that a new document had been released, Klein leaned over and stood on the periphery of the crowd to look at the log-colored sign.

In the center of the sign, a slightly yellowed white piece of paper was draped over the other signs, with black ink and Runn writing on the surface:

"Ladies and gentlemen, I am your new consul.

"Now I issue three new decrees:

"Number one, no living creature can leave here without my permission.

"Second, all beings are equal before the law, even angels can be killed by ordinary people.

"Article 3: Anyone who commits the following offences shall be subject to heavy penalties up to the death penalty:

"1. Killing;

"2. Stealing;

"3. Recite the names of the gods in their entirety;

"4. Sacrifice to evil gods;

"5. Fraud;

"6. Leaks;

“......”

Such an announcement...... Crane raised an eyebrow at the sight, it didn't take a spiritual instinct to detect something wrong with the content.

Instinctively, he turned his mind and tried to get the spirit back to the "Source Castle".

However, an invisible force blocked his "departure", allowing him to only touch the gray mist but not pass through.

This...... Crane's eyes narrowed slightly, and he took a few steps back, distancing himself from the crowd.

In his opinion, this level of anomaly had reached the point of being close to that of a god.

He had also been unable to return to the "Source Fort" before, but the main reason was that he didn't have time to take four steps backwards, recite a mantra, or be disturbed and blocked by "himself".

In the real sense, there is only one time when he can't get out of the real world by relying on external forces:

It was in the Misty Town, a hidden world and a powerful seal created by the Goddess of the Night.

Except for this time, even the "blasphemer" Amon didn't do anything similar, of course, at that time, Amon's main purpose was to force Klein to trigger the "Source Castle", and then seize the opportunity to take advantage of the loophole to replace him as the "Great Lord above the Spirit Realm", otherwise this "Angel of Time" could completely prevent Klein from returning by stealing thoughts.

Who is this new "consul" in Beldin City...... That's why Lady Arianna came to Beldan? In a flash of thought, Klein let the "magic mirror" slip from his wide sleeve to his left hand.

"What happened?" Klein asked in a low voice.

On the surface of the silver mirror, the water swayed, and the slightly whitish silver words appeared:

"There are a few rules here that have been replaced, and it is impossible to know who did it, great master, you can try to find the 'Hidden Servant' Arianna and learn the truth from him.

"Are you satisfied with my answer?"

The rules were replaced ...... "lawyers", "arbitrators", or "bugs"? Klein looked up thoughtfully, and found that the citizens in the square were a little puzzled, not quite understanding why the new notice mentioned angels, and why leaving required application and permission.

The war is over!
