Inside a tanning house at Red Rose Manor, on the outskirts of Queens Beckland.

Prince Edsak was telling his childhood friend what had happened to him as if he were cathartic, and finally he sighed, squeezed out a smile, and said:

"Leland...... No, I'm glad you to be Lina, and I'm honored that you listened patiently to all of my words...... After all, that means I'm not a failure...... I still have friends.

"You really should go, though...... The people in the royal family who came to oversee my 'death penalty' should be coming soon......

"And the fact that I can get time to say goodbye to you shows that Finkel has really turned his back on me...... Otherwise, he would have rushed in and stopped it.

"Huh...... He still remembered some old feelings, at least he didn't plan to do it himself, and reserved some time for me to escape...... Unfortunately, this is useless. ”

After listening to Edsak's self-report, Lina finally fully understood how big the incident this friend was involved in, she frowned, pinched the "witch" card that the other party had just given her, and asked:

"You're going to just sit back and die? To wait for what you call the 'end of the story'? ”

Speaking of this, Lina looked directly into the other party's eyes and said seriously:

"The Edsak I know is not such a person to give up easily!

"And, since you love that witch Trissy, shouldn't you try to live for her?"

Prince Edsak lost his mind for a moment when he heard this, then shook his head with a wry smile and said, "It's a pity that this matter is too involved, and if I don't die, I can't explain it to the church......

"Lina, speaking of which...... What happened to us was really like ......" all of them became outcasts of some ulterior deals.

He had already completely figured out his situation at this time, and knew that if Lina wanted to leave, there would not be many people to stop her, but if the other party took him, it was likely to attract the attack of a Sequence 5 or even a demigod-level powerhouse.

"But I never thought I'd put my life on the line! Edsak, there are some things that can only survive if you fight hard! ”

Lina, who had a lot of experience, was much more determined and decisive than the pampered prince, she closed her eyes, and then made up her mind, and continued, "Moreover, the situation of despair that you and I think is probably only a small matter to some beings. ”

"What do you want to do?" Edsak asked, looking over in surprise and wide-eyed.

From Lina's tone, he guessed something about her intentions.

"As you can imagine, I need to ask a hidden being for help......" Lina replied as she pulled out the materials and set up the ritual.

Edsak looked at her with a complicated look and said, "I don't deserve you to do this for me......"

"In the years when I 'disappeared', you were the only friend who still missed me and tried to find me!" Lina replied without raising her head, then placed the "witch" card on the "altar", and then recited for the first time the honorific name of the "god" she had long professed to believe:

"O fool who does not belong to this era, you are the mysterious lord above the gray mist, and you are the king of yellow and black who rules good fortune."

Lina had been through Shawco before...... Well, it's Sako, who has come to contact Mr. Fool, but in order to save Edsak, she has to risk a real connection with the mysterious being......

Fortunately...... This "blasphemy card" from Edsak is a very good sacrifice that should please Mr. "Fool". Lina prayed "sincerely" and thought so in her heart.

Hearing Lina's prayer, Edsak was worried, but also unconsciously had a glimmer of hope in his heart.

After all, Prince Edsak had commissioned the great detective Sherlock Moriarty to investigate the "Fool" and his "Heroes" and "Tarot" organizations, and obtained a lot of information that it was a powerful force hostile to the Aurora Society and the "True Creator".

"I didn't expect my friend to be a believer in the 'Fool'...... No wonder she has the ability to break free from the control of the 'Witch Sect'......"

……

In a mountain forest on the outskirts of Beckland, Klein runs away from a small town to blend in with the crowd and hide himself after witnessing Mr. A being "erased" by a beautiful woman in a dark robe.

Only in human society can the abilities of "Facelings" be brought into full play.

At the same time, he was also very disturbed by the behavior of the woman who was working with Mr. A, uh, should be a witch, going to the East End......

Judging from the situation of the ceremony, I am afraid that there will be mass deaths over there, I don't know...... Crane, who had the spiritual intuition of a soothsayer, suddenly felt a heavy heart.

At this moment, all the colors in front of him became intense, as if they had been splashed with oil paint by the gods.

The feeling was fleeting, and Klein found himself moving away from where he had been, and saw the bronzed, soft-haired Azzi Eggers appear next to him.

He hurriedly asked the other party about the results of the previous demigod scuffle, and was concerned about whether Mr. Azik was injured as a result.

Azik smiled and shook his head, then briefly recounted the battle, and finally said, "Ince Zangwill is still alive, still holding the '0' level seal...... And he may also have an item on him that can hide himself in all directions...... At least I won't be able to perceive his location anymore. ”

It should be the "Fallen Morning Star...... I lost it...... Crane thought heavily, and then opened his mouth to tell Mr. Azik about the powers of the magical object created by Russell.

"I seem to have heard of this object......," Mr. Azik frowned, remembered for a moment, and continued, "it must be well-known in the circles of the Extraordinary, and I vaguely remember someone relying on it to evade the Angels of House Augustus. ”

"Hiding from the angels?" Klein didn't expect that the item would have such an "experience", and he felt a little weak for a while, after all, it was Mr. "Tower's thing", the greater the value, the greater his "debt".

Mr. Azik didn't say much about the "Fallen Morning Star", but instead talked about the functions and limitations of "0-08", although Klein already knew about them, but it was also confirmed by Mr. Azzik.

Klein originally wanted to ask about Viscount Karen, but Mr. Azik himself seemed to be targeted by a strong man from the Night Church, so he couldn't stay too long, so he could only hurry up and say:

"Mr. Azik, I've got a 'blasphemy card' made by Russell the Great, which contains the secrets of the high sequence, and I think it will help you wake up more things, but you'll have to wait a while, it's hidden in Beckland."

Klein wanted to thank Mr. Azik for his help and dedication in this way, and as for asking about Karen, he could wait until he had settled down before writing to ask.

Azk glanced at him in some surprise, but finally said nothing, and said softly:

"When you get it back, let the messenger bring it to me, and I'll return it to you as soon as I study it, or you can just copy the corresponding content to me."

He paused, and didn't seem to want to accept such a gift for nothing, even if he knew that it was the other party who was grateful for his help......

So after thinking for a moment, Azk took out a glove from his coat pocket that was so light that it looked like human skin, handed it to Klein:

"This is a relic of the pirate general last time, I have made some seals so that it will not usually go hungry, but every time you use it, you must feed it with the flesh and soul of a human, otherwise, it will devour you.

"Anyway, I don't need it, but it's more appropriate for you to hold it for self-defense.

"Don't say no, it's already met with a rejection from Detective Blaine...... You won't and won't look down on it, will you? ”

...... "creeping hunger"? After the death of a "shepherd"? Klein immediately remembered what the glove meant.

But...... Detective Brian? Do Mr. Azik and Mr. "Tower" also know each other? And listening to his tone, it seems that I know Detective Brian?

Klein was about to ask something, when Mr. Koazik suddenly glanced northwest, and then after putting down the phrase "keep the 'letter' in touch," he left using "Spiritual Travel."

Naturally, Crane didn't dare to stay for a long time, even if he had obtained a semi-official status with the endorsement of Detective Issinger from the "Mechanical Heart", but when it came to the awakening of the "Original Witch" and the arrival of the "True Creator" in two highest-level cases, he would inevitably be subject to strict investigation, for example, taking turns to taste black tea at the "Machine Heart", the substitute punisher, and the night watchman, and actively or passively recount the whole process.

And his identity does not stand up to serious scrutiny......

Soon, Klein blends into a nearby town and lives in a small inn with a change of appearance.

He then set up a ritual in the room where the curtains were drawn, bringing the "wriggling hunger" above the gray fog in preparation for research.

In the silent and deserted ancient palace, Klein was just about to divinate the light glove made of human skin, when he saw one of the crimson stars quietly suspended in the endless gray mist, suddenly shining and spreading out a light like water!

It expands and contracts, shrinks and expands, and is unusually conspicuous.

And this is a crimson "star" that does not belong to any member of the Tarot Society, nor does it belong to his "dependents".

And what reckless fellow recited the honorific name of the "Fool"? While thinking in his heart, Klein spread the spirituality to the past, but did not respond, just browsed.

As Klein's spirituality touches, the crimson "star" that expands and contracts reveals the images and sounds it contains:

A woman dressed as a man in a blouse and waistcoat is praying with her hands clasped together.

Lina? She wants to sacrifice a "blasphemy card" and ask me to protect Edsak?

This......

Crane was a little embarrassed, but suddenly remembered the battle that Mr. Azik had just talked about: a demigod suspected of being the royal family of Rune suffered a backlash when he "cursed" Mr. Azik, and there is a high probability that he fell!

The demigod who fought with Ince Zangwill at the time was the "Eye of the Goddess" of the Church of the Night......

"The fall of a royal demigod, the faction within Rune that cooperates with the Aurora Society and the Witch Sect will definitely not be able to suppress it...... After all, this is what the 'Goddess's Eye' has witnessed!

"So, it took the pressure off Edsak's side...... After all, he can't carry such a big pot! The Church could accept his collusion with a witch, but would never believe that he could command a demigod to serve him.

"So, that fallen demigod is the best candidate to carry the black cauldron, the prince's words...... Actually escaping seems to distract the church...... Of course, the premise is that His Royal Highness the Prince doesn't know much about it......"

Thinking of this, Klein tried divination a few times, and after getting the conclusion that the person sent by the royal family to deal with the prince was not high-order, but not dangerous, he was ready to ask Mr. "Tower" to see if he could take on a mission.

I hope it's still too late...... Klein sighed, he actually had a good impression of Prince Edsak, and Lina and Shoko had also helped him do a lot of things before, so he still hoped to save each other.

Of course, what is more important is that the faction in the royal family that colluded with the cult and caused a large number of casualties must not be allowed to succeed!

But when he touched the crimson "star" belonging to the "tower" with his spirit while thinking about it, he found that it seemed to be isolated by a layer of mist, and he could not communicate with Mr. "Tower's" spirit at all.

"What's going on?!"
