After getting a general grasp of the situation, Klein looked at the full-length mirror in the room and asked:

"What's the King's secret?"

As if on the surface of a mirror leading to another world, the water light gently floats, gradually reflecting a scene:

It was a remnant hidden in the depths of darkness, covered in the dust of history, but almost intact.

Meaning, the king's secret is in the remains of the "Blood Emperor...... Does Arodes not dare to answer directly, or can he really only see this extent? Klein pondered for a moment and said to the "magic mirror":

"It's your turn to ask. ”

The scene in the full-length mirror did not change in the slightest, only highlighting one silver word after another:

"Great master, do you have any other questions?"

"Yes. Klein nodded unceremoniously and said, "Where is the 'White Saint' Katerina at the moment?"

In the mirror, the silver words quickly faded and disappeared, but the background did not change at all, and it was still the remains of the "Blood Emperor".

If it weren't for the appearance and disappearance of words, I would have thought that this "magic mirror" would have died...... Caterina hid in the ruins of the "Blood Emperor"?the real one?Klein nodded thoughtfully:

"It's your turn. ”

Above that scene, the silver words reappeared and condensed:

"Gracious master, why don't you leave Beckland?"

That's a good question, I had that in mind...... I initially investigated the Beckland Smog out of righteous indignation at the innocent deaths of poor people like Kohler, the elder Kohler, and the confusion that the main goal was almost broken, and then I was tied to the identity of a goddess, and then I wanted to prevent the catastrophe that was about to happen, so that people I knew could not be drowned in the tide of the times, and I was willing to take a certain risk for it......

As for now, knowing that there may be a war that will engulf the whole world, and finding that the promotion ceremony of the "Ancient Scholar" is close to "tailor-made" for me, full of traces of arrangement, I have understood that even if I really want to escape, I may not be able to do it, or in other words, I can escape from Bakeland, but most of them cannot escape the fate that I have borne from the beginning, in this case, it is better to take the initiative to take risks and challenge to see if I can figure out the truth, find possible opportunities, and grasp my own destiny...... Klein's thoughts were endless and gradually settled.

Immediately afterwards, he replied in a calm tone:

"Leaving doesn't really solve the problem. ”

After saying that, Klein began to ask:

"Where is Triss at the moment?"

In the full-length mirror, the scene finally changed, this time it was pitch black, with the occasional thick object sliding across the surface.

Arodus couldn't see Triss either...... Klein bowed slightly:

"It's your turn to ask. ”

There was water floating in the mirror, and wisps of silver converged into a coherent sentence:

"Great master, I have a word for you, can you say it?"

"Say it. Crane replied with some curiosity.

The silver words wriggled into new words:

"You must be careful next!"

He also used an exclamation mark ...... "Magic Mirror" Arodus smelled something bad? Klein thought for a few seconds and said:

"What do you think can threaten me?"

"I don't know, a feeling ......" Arodes reorganizes the words, turning them from silver to gray, intuitively showing what it means to be frustrated and self-reproachful.

Without waiting for Klein to respond, new gray words jumped out of the mirror one after another:

"Great master, I have a scene I want to show you, can I?"

"Yes. Klein slowed down.

On the surface of the full-length mirror, the water light rippled, and the darkness changed accordingly.

It grows deeper and deeper, dotted with diamond-like points of light.

It was a beautiful and vast nightfall.

Does the scene shown by Arodes point to the goddess who is essentially a "star", or is it a "starry sky" with a gaze? It seems that it does not dare to express it directly...... Klein thought about it for a moment and stopped trying to ask:

"That's all for today. ”

"Okay!" the gray words reappeared and dyed silver, and the speed of highlighting slowed down for some reason, "Great master, you, you haven't said it yet, and if there is a problem later, you will summon me again, your faithful servant Arodes......"

What a ceremonial mirror...... Klein said with a smile:

"Of course, I'll summon you again, when I have other questions. ”

"Yes, master! goodbye, master!" the silver word returned to its normal speed on the surface of the mirror, and outlined a stick figure that kept waving his hand.

When everything was back to normal, Crane burned the paper with the summoning symbol on it, opened the curtains, and gazed at the cold, dim sky again.

............

Queens, inside a small church of the night.

Both Hugh and Firth received a message from Miss Justice to Mr. Fool, and knew that the problem had been solved, and had a general understanding of what the King's secret was.

“...... That's amazing. Believing in the "God of Steam and Machinery", Firth opened his eyes in the dimly lit and quiet large prayer hall, turned his head sideways, lowered his voice, and sighed.

She would have liked to say Mr. "World" directly, or Gelman Sparrow is amazing, but now she doesn't make such a mistake.

This past week has given her the feeling that she has been in the mysterious world for more than a decade.

Hugh also opened his eyes, but first drew a crimson moon on his chest to repent of his disrespect for the goddess just now.

"Yes, that's a ......," Hugh said before he finished speaking, but the meaning was accurately conveyed into Forth's mind.

What she wanted to say was that Herwin Lambis was a true demigod, and that he had been dealt with by Gelman Sparrow in less than ten minutes from the time he and Furth entered the church.

There is such a big gap between the same saints!

"Perhaps, angelic blessings......" Furth cryptically speculated based on his own experience of otherworldly events and creations.

As the Great Prayer Hall was dark and quiet, and was not suitable for communication, Hugh nodded without a direct response to Forth's words, stood up, and entered the aisle.

The two left the prayer area side by side, and when they approached the door, Hugh let out a sigh and said:

"I wish I could be so good one day......"

"I think that way occasionally. Firth smiled and said, "Well, you've done your investigation anyway, haven't you?" ”

Hugh looked at the door in front of him, and said in a daze:

"But what's the point? I can't do anything about it, I can't do it. ”

"No, no, no, as far as the adversary is concerned, that person's identity is not too noble, at least we can look at it directly. "When you get a qualitative change, you'll find that you're capable of participating in this matter, at least not in the higher-level part." ”

Through his own dependents and members of the Tarot Society, he sabotaged the advent of the "True Creator", uncovered Bansey's secrets, obtained some authority in the "Storm" realm, and interfered in the fate of "0-08".

Hugh walked slowly to the door, and said in silence for a while:

"I see what you mean.

"Let's go back to the East Side, don't be in a hurry to move, and when I get the formula for the 'Judge' potion, and then hide completely, I think they won't dare to risk investigating us after today's incident. ”

"Surely, they just hide in the dark, and they can't see the shadow of the sun. Furth hurriedly chimed in, and then sighed, "I just hope that the teacher's reply will arrive before I move again." ”

Hugh raised his hand and grabbed his yellow hair, and as he walked out of the church door, he said earnestly:

"When I get the formula, I'll buy the button and try to get a boost as soon as possible. ”

"Yes, you're back up. Seeing this, Furth laughed and teased.

Hugh didn't say anything more, and continued on his way with a serious expression.

After walking dozens of steps, she suddenly paused and said without looking back:

"My money should be, it shouldn't be enough to buy that button, and when the time comes, when the time comes, you can lend me a little......

"I'll definitely pay it back. ”

Furth was stunned for a second, and then burst into laughter:

"Good.

"If my guess is correct, my follow-up should be available from my teacher. ”

............

At noon on Thursday, Crane excused himself to rest, returned to the master bedroom, entered the bathroom, and walked four steps backwards to the gray mist.

He thought that the glass bottle containing the "potion" should have finished absorbing.

Sitting on the high-backed chair of the "Fool", Crane made a gesture of his hand, released the quarantine, and photographed the target.

The transparent glass bottle has been dyed with a dark color, and the surface is mostly gridded, flashing with a shimmering light, which is very a bit of a work of art.

It was empty, not a drop of potion remained, and the wider mouth of the bottle was covered with a layer of floating mist, making Crane's gaze feel like he was being absorbed into it.

Faintly, a voice came from inside the bottle:

"Throw in a hundred gold coins and you can make a wish come true......

"Invest a hundred gold coins and you can make a wish come true......"

Who did you learn this from...... It has to be said that this repetitive monotonous discourse really helps with hypnosis...... If you really invest a hundred gold coins, you will open the door of your mind and body by yourself, and you will be manipulated by this bottle and become its slave...... With a little analysis, Klein summoned the "Darkless Cross", and with the help of the pressure of the gray mist, he inserted it into the mouth of the bottle.

"You devil!" the voice in the bottle shouted bitterly, then was blinded by the gray mist.
