Chapter 631: Calculations Behind the Scenes
On Thursday afternoon, Abner finally got back to the city by car.
It wasn't because he and Edwina had been talking for too long and almost missed the time, but because he had placed the location of the "Teleportation Altar" in a small town near Beckland, and it took him half a day to drive back.
- Due to the "Apostle of Desire" incident, the official organization was alerted, and Abner did not dare to fly directly into the city of Beckland with his "cloak".
As soon as Abner stepped out of the carriage, he heard a whining sound.
He subconsciously raised his head, only to see that the darkness in the air was blown away by the strong wind, and the pale yellow thin mist was swept away.
The leafless branches swayed, and the wind dragged a clear trail straight to the southeast.
After a few seconds, everything was back to normal, calm as before.
This is not a normal wind ...... There is a familiar "wind" force mixed in...... Is it Lord Snake the "Singer of the Gods" who went after Jason Beria, who is pretending to be a witch?
So, my current location is not far from the docks, and I have chased it here...... That means that the assassination of Duke Negan should have begun or is about to begin......
I hope I'll be in time...... If Crane doesn't finish him out in time as he did in the original book, I'll make up for it...... lest the demon really escaped and pose a threat to the teacher in the future......
With a plan in mind, Abner rushed to the nearest subway station.
If you don't dare to "fly", taking the "steam subway" is much more than driving a "stealth" running block.
……
Inside the carriage outside the Kragg Club.
In the name of "reasoning", Klein informed the deacon of the "Machine Heart" about the "Apostle of Desire" about the "Apostle of Desire" that he had divined above the gray mist.
However, he still concealed information that the demon's target might be Duke Negan......
After all, this kind of thing is difficult to explain by "reasoning", and if he hadn't heard Mr. "Tower" talk about the plan of the unnamed organization to use the "Abyss Card" to lure the members of the "Blood Cult" to assassinate the Duke at the Tarot meeting, he would not have thought of this aspect at all.
"You think we could be misled?" Instead of sneering, disdain, or contempt, Iconse discussed the problem with him very seriously.
After all, his temper such as "pride", "complacency", and "prejudice" has long been smoothed out by Arodes's problems......
Iconse thought for a while, his expression became solemn, his eyes first looked at the magic mirror in his palm, and then moved away instantly, and then turned his head sideways to the team members next to him, "You continue to secretly protect Mr. Moriarty, I will go to the 'Night Watcher'......"
After all, asking Arodus directly here is likely to be perceived by the demon, and he has to use the power of the 'Level 1' seal in the shape of the armor of the Night Watchman.
"Yes, Deacon!" The two members of the "Mechanical Heart" replied without hesitation.
Iconse immediately left and hurried to the night watchman's place.
The "Singer of God" has been transferred, and the seal of the Goddess Church has also been dispatched...... "Apostle of Desire" really wants to do something, it must be right here!
I hope I can catch it in time, and I hope that the magic mirror can give the right answer...... But then I didn't have a chance to mix, I couldn't see the demon who was endangering everyone die, and I couldn't touch his suitcase full of banknotes, bars, coins, and jewelry......
Klein looked at Iconse's back with a sigh and a sigh of loss.
As for not getting the opportunity to play, he was not in a hurry, with the help of the "performance" and "curtain call" in front of Mr. A, the substitute punishers, and the saints of the Steam Church during the last time he cracked the "Abyss of Flesh" ceremony, his "magician" potion had already been digested for most of it, and the remaining bit had also been digested in the sporadic performances of the past month......
If the materials are complete, Klein can now become a "Faceling" in no time.
So, he quickly regained his mood:
That's fine, at least I don't have to take any risks, I can safely relieve this crisis, and wait until tomorrow and tomorrow to get the "Brain Mutant Pituitary and Blood of the Hunter of a Thousand Faces" from Emryn, plus the "characteristics of the human skin shadow" that Sharon promised to get on Sunday...... Maybe I'll be able to advance to Sequence 5 before the next tarot meeting!
This can also effectively alleviate the problem of shrinking the meeting time of the Tarot Club after Mr. "Ta's holiday".
The only pity was that he never had the chance to get his hands on the suitcase of the "Apostle of Desire", which contained all his savings as a banker, at least 50,000 gold pounds worth of gold, jewels, and banknotes......
Mrs. Mary of the Air Pollution Investigation Committee, counting the value of Coim's shares, is at most such a net worth!
While thinking, Klein also returned to the lounge of the Kragg Club, and after the door was locked, Miss Sharon, who was pale and delicate-looking, suddenly walked out of a mirror, she was silent for a few seconds, and said succinctly: "Do you need me to get the suitcase?" ”
You're thinking about it, huh? Yes, Miss "Temperance", you and Mr. "Fool" have the same thoughts, and you are a good seedling of "Favorite"! Klein complained in his heart, but on the surface, he shook his head and said:
"There must be a '1' level seal there, and even a demigod is there, it's too dangerous...... Forget it. ”
"Very sensible, and I know how to 'temper'!" Miss Sharon praised in a ethereal voice, and then vanished.
Is this a reminder to me not to be swayed by greedy emotions so as not to be taken advantage of by the "apostles of desire"?
Klein glanced thoughtfully at the mirror at hand, and mentally justified himself:
Actually, I'm not so greedy, after all, the "mechanical heart" will definitely not treat me badly, and if I succeed, my opinions and suggestions must be in a very important position......
And I myself am a believer in the god of steam and machines, and according to the styles of the major churches, I should be given a share of the harvest...... Under the premise of 50,000 pounds, it is not too little......
……
Jowood, a luxury villa-type house not far from the Cathedral of the Holy Winds, is also the residence of Miss Elsa, who Klein was commissioned by Baron Larry.
Pallas Negan, with a bloated waist and gray eyes, picked up his mistress on the bed, a beautiful girl with a bit of innocence on her face, Miss Aisha, who had just turned 20 a few days ago.
And she is the duke's favorite woman in the past three years.
After ingesting a mummy potion he had bought from a certain medicine man, Duke Negan seemed to regain the feeling of following his father and elders in his youth, riding horses, driving hounds, and chasing wild beasts across the vast lands.
But at this moment, that kind of pleasure and comfort exploded violently, and kept bursting, bursting again and again without limits and without ends, making his heart no longer bearable, and suffered a heavy blow.
The extraordinary people who protected the Duke in the other rooms immediately sensed the smell of the mysterious realm and broke into the bedrooms.
And the leader is none other than the deacon of the Storm Church, the "Mystic Master" Stewart!
After the Lord of the "God Singer" followed Jason Beria to the docks, Stewart, who had several similar "experiences", sensed that something was wrong, so he took the initiative to ask Ying to replace the "Wind Favorite" who originally protected the Duke.
While simulating the "healing" ability to repair the Duke's damage, Stewart used a secret technique to "project" the demon's ability on the Duke back......
But at this time, Duke Negan's blonde secretary went straight to the attic location of the source of the mysterious power, and used his ability to "seal" it, as if he wanted to trap the other party.
But in doing so, it also blocked Stewart's secret art.
The "Mystic Master" frowned, but he didn't accuse anything, after all, he had never cooperated with the other party, and it was inevitable that he would not cooperate tacitly.
He simply did not intervene in the fight between the other party and the enemy, so as not to cause accidental injury, but only concentrated on guarding Duke Negan, and also "appeased" him by the way, so as not to give the other party a gap in his anger.
But although the blonde secretary was strong, he obviously failed to completely block the "Apostle of Desire", and was surrounded by the attack by the other party relying on his own specialness and turning into a shadow.
Just when the "Apostle of Desire" intends to provoke the Duke's fear by creating the death of the Duke's mistress, Miss Elsa, and then kill him, Stewart stops him at the right time, and relies on various means to find the weakness of his unique shadow spells in an instant!
Seeing the astonishing "Holy Light" condensed in Stewart's hands, the "Apostle of Desire" was about to be defeated by hatred...... Suddenly, a man's figure suddenly appeared beside Duke Negan, and he rolled out his left palm and solemnly proclaimed in Hermes:
"Death!"
As the words fell, the man's body merged with some strange power, and the surface of his body appeared like a morning light, and it hit Duke Negan's head in one fell swoop, shattering his head!
- If Duke Negan hadn't been injured, he would definitely not have been hit so easily as a mid-sequence extraordinary...... Even if he was hit, he would definitely have time to activate his ability to weaken his injuries, at least not die immediately.........
But there is no if, the head of the Conservative Party, the biggest landed nobleman outside the king, the brother of the current prime minister, the extraordinary man of Sequence 6, the real big man, the Duke of Pallas Negan, died like this.
The turn of events came so suddenly that even Stewart didn't have time to react, and could only watch as the Duke lost his head......
The blonde secretary who rushed behind blurted out, "Baron Larry?!" You actually killed the Duke! ”
Before he could finish speaking, he attacked in a fit of rage.
The man who suddenly struck out was none other than Baron Larry, the kingdom's wanted criminal, who looked at his fist as if he were waking up from a dream, and muttered in disbelief, "What did I do?" ”
He didn't react to the blonde secretary's attack.
But the attack failed, for Baron Larry's form disappeared again, as if he had never appeared.
As for the "Apostle of Desire", it seems that he had expected it, and he took advantage of everyone's surprise to leave the villa without taking care of the suitcase, and evacuated the scene according to the predetermined route.
Until a rich sea of blood appeared in front of his eyes, and in the middle of the sea of blood, there was standing, a silver full-body armor!
……
At the same time, a mixture of white, gray, yellow, and black fog arose over the Jowood district, which did not attract anyone's attention as it was the norm in Beckland.
In the mist, an old man in a shirt, waistcoat, three-piece suit, striped blue-gray trousers, dark red bow tie, and white but still dense hair held his head fiercely, but after a while, he lowered his hand, and his temperament returned to gentle and elegant.
The old man smiled slightly, looked around, and soon saw a heroic young woman, who was still carrying Baron Larry who had fallen into a coma.
Seeing this scene, the old man saluted the woman and said with a smile:
"Her Highness Vera...... Hehe, it's okay to call you that now, right? ”
"No problem...... "Her Highness Vera nodded and looked at the old man, "Her Highness Erethhog." ”
"The personality I created for him is still Herwin Lambis, and at most Herwin has the memories of Erry Hogg...... Please don't make a mistake. The old man, that is, the imaginary "Herwin Lambis", corrected a sentence and continued,
"If you hadn't ambushed that item on Larry's body in advance, causing Herwin to fall into extreme 'doom' and trying to replace the personality of the psychic master with the 'mark' he made, even I wouldn't have succeeded so easily......
"Even if it succeeds, it is likely to trigger the mental means left behind by that one......
"Oh, that's not right...... It should be said that without your help, I would not have succeeded, after all, without this fog, everything we do cannot be hidden from Him. ”
This is what he gave me in the first place...... Naturally it works very well...... Vera was silent for a few seconds, then replied in a flat tone:
"I've done what I promised you, when are you going to fulfill your promise? Eric...... H.E. Herwin Lambis? ”
