"Dear Mr. Azik,

"Since September, the temperature in Beckland has been getting cooler and cooler day by day, and recently, you can already see old people wearing gloves when they go out.

"As last year, fog began to envelop the city. The fog is much lighter than it used to be, and although I use this to describe it, I have only been in Beckland for less than two years. The control of air pollution is definitely not a complete success in one or two years, and this is at least a five-year cycle. Happily, the pungent smell in the air has decreased a lot, and my Bloodline friends are very happy with the weather.

"But it's clear that the change in fog isn't just due to air pollution control, because even the strange cloudy weather in Beckland has been affected, and the number of sunny days has increased significantly, and you may be able to think of some of the reasons for this.

"I wonder how you've been doing in the Southern Continent lately?

"Due to the big event that just ended last week, which you and I both know, the pattern of the Northern Continent has become very dangerous and unstable. After that incident, it seems that the church and the royal family are now gradually beginning to loosen their grip on the extraordinary, and people have some enthusiasm for the extraordinary, yearning for those supernatural powers. The Lord of the Storm should now be called the God of Thunder and Truth, the authority of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom has been taken over by Him, and He is now the true God of the faith of Rune and the surrounding nations, surpassing the Church of the Night. The royal family also played a great role in spreading the faith, and actively publicized the king's distribution of relief food and visits to the orphanage, and George III's fame grew day by day, haha.

"Coupled with the heavy losses of Intis in the Divine War, and the announcement of the annexation of small states such as Lenburg, Segall and Marcy to the territory of the Kingdom of Rune, the territory suddenly expanded by a third. The enthusiasm of the people is gradually rising, and the people are full of trust in the god of thunder. The atmosphere within the Beckland was only depressed for a while, and then the social apparatus was once again in operation at the call of King George III.

"Another welcome change is that more students, postmen, skilled workers are buying bicycles, and the number of horse-drawn carriages on the street is much lower, which means that horse manure and its pervasive smell will gradually fade out of the ranks of the air quality dominants in Beckland. Of course, they still occupy a very important place, you know, the gentlemen and ladies who think they have status don't bother to lower their style, but from what I've observed, the little ones in their families are getting interested in bicycles.

Now Rune is gradually coming back to life, exuding some vitality and vitality that people can't ignore.

"Mr. Azik, I'm a little confused because of this.

"As I have said to you in my previous letters, King George III of Rune is a cruel, cold-blooded, tyrant who hides himself as a pro-king, who sacrifices his children in order to become a god, and who sacrifices his people in years and ten thousand people, doing things that I cannot tolerate or forgive, but the gods still acquiesce to him. If I let someone like Him become a god, I would lose all hope in God, I think.

"However, after this large-scale divine war, I was shamefully shaken.

"Before the God War, the reason I was hesitant was that I feared that assassinating the king during the war would cause national instability. But now, I began to think that it seems that it is a good thing that the future Rune Empire can have one more true god, there is no real safe place in this world, and there are more forces that can at least defend against foreign enemies. According to the reply of my friend in Intis, the situation on their side was simply terrifying.

"If the saints are going to die in the blink of an eye, how many ordinary people should be killed?

"Maybe not one out of ten is definitely not an exaggeration, but the current situation of Intis.

Crane stopped his pen, pinched his eyebrows, and exhaled softly.

In the corner of his study there was a shadow that could not even be penetrated by light, and in the corner of this shadow, it turned out to be a man sitting in a single chair with his cross closed in prayer.

The Dark Sage, who was temporarily hiding in the mansion of Dawn Dantès, prayed without distraction, and after a while, the flesh on the back of his hand holding the cross suddenly began to wriggle, and the Dark Saint opened his eyes and said to the back of Dawn Dantès:

"Three thousand pounds worth of goods are ready, nearly two thousand pounds in cash, and some precious metals and jewelry, there will be a premium."

"If your messenger is not willing to receive the goods, I will let them sell these precious metals and jewelry."

Collected? It's quite efficient, the stronghold in Beckland basically no longer exists, and you can still raise more than 3,000 gold pounds worth of money in a week...... Crane, who was just about to continue writing, paused and nodded:

"He wants to collect the gold, so he's sorry for you."

"Okay."

Miss Courier must have had some other use for taking the gold and possessions away, perhaps to his own organization or juniors, as he thought. The mere circulation of gold coins and paper money will not attract the attention of others, but if the physical object is used, the traces of circulation will increase, and there is a danger that the identity will be exposed...... Crane put the matter behind him, and now that the Dark Sage had finished praying, he asked:

"Can you still contact the members of Intis now?"

His tone was already familiar.

The Dark Sage nodded slightly: "I have initially restored contact and found Ms. D, fortunately she didn't have an accident." Now that Indisis is in ruins, our church has lost a lot of talent, especially the low sequence, and the Steam Church is ready to take this opportunity to overhaul the city, from the layout to the sewer system, and add the power system, just when there is a shortage of manpower everywhere. ”

Power System ...... Klein was in a trance for a moment.

He looked into Klein's eyes and said meaningfully:

"X, I plan to go to Intis as soon as the situation stabilizes, the two countries have completely torn their faces, and there is no need for a Sage to risk stationing in Bakeland."

After hearing this, Crane was silent for a while, slowly put down the pen in his hand, turned to the side of the Dark Sage, and asked seriously:

"But, in this case, perhaps you will need a stake that is ready to access the movements of Rune's upper classes."

The Dark Sage frowned:

"Yes, but we have more suitable people, and the believers of the Lord come from all walks of life and the common class, and they are more hidden. X, with all due respect, your thoughts are too dangerous, your identity is very prominent, and as a god, you don't need to take such risks. ”

Because Benson and Melissa are still here, Miss Audrey is still here, and Leonard, Forth, and Hugh are still here, and if I leave and can't help in the first place, they will most likely leave me...... Life is too fragile, even for the extraordinary. Crane had mixed feelings, but he wasn't going to say even half of it.

He knew that in his own capacity, the Aurora Society would definitely be willing to pick up Benson and Melissa, and they would definitely be able to get preferential treatment and live a good life in Intis as well. But there is no need for him to speak out, there is no need to add weakness and debt to himself out of thin air.

It is most reassuring that people who value are by their side, or even within their sight.

The corners of Klein's mouth went up, and he smiled at the Dark Sage:

"Yes, I know, it's definitely dangerous for me to do this, but I can get back more important news in the first place."

"Sir, you have also run a manor, then you should know that a lot of information and news are quietly circulated among the nobles, their social interaction is very important, a look from the earl and the general, a small action can replace countless words."

The Dark Sage opened his mouth, thinking about it, and finally had to nod his head, affirming Klein's statement.

Seeing that his persuasion was effective, Klein took advantage of the victory to pursue:

"There are indeed many people in the Aurora Society who are more hidden and professional than me, but will they be able to enter the circle of nobles? Will you be able to mingle with these people and become friends? Will you have the opportunity to participate in these big and small social and prom parties? ”

The Dark Sage frowned:

"But even so, there is no need for a single Sage to take risks. X, it can be seen from the divine war that although we are admired by ordinary people and have gained divinity, we are actually very weak. ”

The corners of Klein's mouth rose again: "Yes." ”

"If you are discovered, you may not even be able to save your spirits." The Dark Sage reminded again.

"I know."

"Even so, you're going to stay in Beckland and pass on information to us?" The Dark Sage was shocked, and then reverently drew a cross on his chest with an extremely serious expression, "X, I never thought that you were such a sacrificial person, I sincerely apologize to you, I actually doubted your piety and loyalty to the Lord before, and thought that your faith was not strong enough. ”

Klein wanted to scratch the ground with his toes, and he laughed:

"No, you are also for the Lord and the church, and I will not be angry about it."

The Dark Sage was even more moved, and after praising the True Creator a few times, he changed his somewhat absent-minded appearance just now: "I already understand your determination and courage, and I will not persuade you again." If I can, I hope to help you in any way I can. ”

Okay, that's what you're waiting for! Klein snickered in his heart, then he coughed and said solemnly:

"It's too polite, you don't have to do this, it's all compatriots who are running for the Lord, if you can, I hope the organization can help me improve some strength...... That's right, my Sequence 4 potion has been digested and I'm ready to advance to Sequence 3 at any time. ”

The Dark Sage froze.

The Dark Sage showed an expression as if he had been struck by lightning: "It's only been two months! You've finished digesting your Sequence 4 potion?! ”

Klein coughed again, just now he almost thought that the Dark Sage realized that he was ambushing him-but thinking about it, this is not a big deal, an organization like the Aurora Society, as long as you are devout to God and have the ability to do so, it is a matter of course that the organization's resources are tilted towards you-Klein nodded, and said with a smile:

"It's just luck."

"Luck isn't the root of digesting potions, unless you're a 'monster'." There was still surprise and shock on the face of the Dark Sage, and he shook his head, "The Divine Favor is truly extraordinary, praise the Lord." ”

Klein also said, "Praise the Lord." ”

"Since you've already made such a decision and have a similar idea, I'll help you contact Intis." The Dark Sage gradually returned to his usual appearance, "Did I tell you before?" The Tantric Society has taken refuge in us, so there should be no shortage of materials and recipes. ”

"Yes, you did."

"Then you can rest assured, I will help you get this matter right, and I will try to help you fight for as much as possible." The Dark Sage pondered and said, "After all, we are in great need of low-level and high-end combat power now, and if someone can be promoted, it would be great. ”

"Okay, then I'll trouble you."

Klein's mood was a little excited, and he felt that he couldn't wait to see the recipe and ritual requirements of the "Ancient Scholar".

Now that he has a lot of contacts, it is best if he can exchange magic potions for meritorious deeds, and it will be much easier to find them than before. It's a pity that the contribution made by the "Fool" in the Divine War can't be directly transferred to him...... Although Zarathu is unsettling, the power of the other party to "bring the past to the present" displayed in the hidden town is really fascinating.

Maybe you can get a coke, fast food, or even a game console?

Klein waited a little for a moment, then turned back and continued to think about the unfinished letter.

Writing whatever came to mind, Klein immediately picked up his pen and prepared to tell Mr. Azik the news.

"Mr. Azik, I have good news for you, because of some good luck before, and because of my adventures, my Sequence 4 potion has been digested and I am now ready to be promoted to Sequence 3 'Ancient Scholar'."

He thought for a moment and felt that the more information he could get about the promotion, the better, so he added, "Without bothering you, I hope to get more information about this sequence." ”

"Before the start of the Wars, during this time, I lived a normal life, going to St. Samuel's Church and the 'Rune Charity Scholarship' several times a week, participating in their activities, making continuous cash donations, occasionally watching horse races, watching theatrical performances, enjoying symphonies, going to clubs to play cards, playing golf, holding or attending banquets, balls and salons on weekends.

Crane thought for a few seconds, and with a wry smile, decided not to take Mr. Daun Dantès's increasingly strange reputation and the other nobles trying to curry favor with him and give him a maid overtly and secretly.

It's hard to talk about.

"I forgot to tell you that I have bought a manor house that originally belonged to the Duke of Negan's family, called 'Rose Song', taking advantage of the cheap land on the outskirts of Beckland. It has its own high-quality vineyards and wineries, as well as a large area of woods and fields for planting and hunting, and its main house is a square with a long side, four floors, and a large number of rooms, in which I walked casually for a while, and walked more than 10,000 steps without leaving the hall, and at the same time, it has a large number of sculptures, paintings, decorations and exquisite tableware, which is as grand as a palace.

"Hehe, after the Divine War, many nobles and wealthy people began to transfer their property and food to the estates on the outskirts of the city, so that the price of land and estates on the outskirts of the city has increased a lot, fortunately, I have bought it before the Divine War.

"Maybe I'm exaggerating, because I've never seen a real palace, it's the first manor house I've owned, and I remember when I was in Tingen, I lived in a two-room rental house with my brother and sister, and I had to sleep every day smelling coal.

"This was introduced by Major General Chunas Korg, and it cost me a total of 20,000 gold pounds. You don't have to worry about my finances, I didn't suffer anything, and I found an opportunity to sell some magical items, and at present I had more than 17,000 pounds in cash, nearly 10,000 pounds in gold bars, a real estate that was constantly appreciating in value, and a lot of gold coins, sules, and pennies.

"I don't seem to have told you about this Major General Chunas Korg.

"I tracked down the Witch Cult's help with George III's human trafficking, and traced down their helper, Captain Mad through Admiral Tracy, but by the time I found Captain Mad Captain, he had already been killed.

"After a long period of investigation, as well as traces left at the scene at that time, I finally determined that the 'mad captain' was most likely killed by this Rear Admiral Chunas Korg. He may be a demigod of the 'lawyer' path, and I have to deal with it carefully.

"Other than that, I'm quite satisfied with Rose Age, and I've sent Richardson, the former valet, to be the deacon of the manor, and it's autumn, and I'm about to invite guests there for a nice weekend, and I hope Richardson will be ready.

"When he came back to report to me, he encountered a divine war and had to be locked up in a shelter with me, which was very unfortunate.

"Hopefully Beckland can be better than before.

"The 'magic mirror' I mentioned earlier has been taken away with the evacuation of the Steam Church last month, but fortunately it gave me a symbol of communication before leaving, and I can still go to the source fortress to communicate with it if I need to.

After that sudden incident with Amun, it had a different opinion about leaving the Steam Church, and seemed to have decided to stay a little longer, thinking it would be safer. It even wants to be dangerous and become a 'Class 1' seal, and I have to say, its way of thinking always surprises me.

Writing this, Klein breathed a sigh of relief, and after reading up and down, he raised his hand and rubbed the corners of his forehead.

"Beckland is now windy, and it's already a little cold at the start of September, and I happened to hear that a lawyer friend I once knew was annoyed and had to take a leave of absence so that he could take his grandmother to a warmer part of the south. It's a good thing for the environment, though, and I think everyone would prefer a breath of cold, fresh air to a smell of smoke, coal, and horse manure.

"Looking forward to your reply, the enclosed letter is Beckland's popular flower tea, I hope you can like it."

"Your Forever Student, Klein Moretti"

Putting away the pen, folding the letterhead, and picking up a paper bag at hand, Crane walked out of the study and into another unoccupied room. Then he blew the Azk bronze whistle and summoned the nearly four-meter-tall white bone messenger.

Unlike before, the messenger only showed a head and an arm, and the rest were below the floor, on the second floor.

This makes it appear a lot shorter than Klein.

After all, I am also a demigod now, and I am a demigod who is about to be promoted, and I am still a dependant of a god, and I can be regarded as a dependant of the "Death Archon...... Crane thought with some amusement as he shoved the letter into the Bone Courier's hand and watched as its arm crumbled and sank into the ground.

After doing this, he returned to his study, where the Dark Sage was still there, not at all interested in what Crane had just done.

"Next, I'm going to an afternoon tea party."

The valet Enyuni removes Klein's coat and hat from the hanger and helps him put them on. Crane accepted the help of the Secret Puppet and said to the Dark Sage, "It will take a few hours to return, you can leave at any time, or you can continue to rest here." ”

"I'll leave right away." The Dark Sage stood up, giving the impression that a shadow had suddenly become elongated, "Staying here will leave traces of the occult, I'm going to stop at another safe house, this is for you." ”

He threw out a secret invocation communication charm, and Crane reached out to catch it.

"I'm leaving." After he finished speaking, he quietly disappeared into the corner, not knowing where he had gone.

Crane didn't dig deeper, and put the charm in his pocket. He got dressed, picked up his cane, and walked out of the study, and looked out the window, where Walter, the butler, was already stopping the carriage at the door, and the servants were waiting for their employer to come out with umbrellas along the way.

That's a great deal. He shook his head and went downstairs to the door.

The carriage was steady, and after about twenty minutes Klein arrived at the "East Bailang Veterans' Club," where Councillor Macht was already waiting for him.

Seeing his friend's arrival, Councillor Macht walked up enthusiastically, and the two shook hands with the same joy for the rest of their lives, and hugged them slightly.

"My wife and daughter were in a shelter with you at the time, and Hazel was not well yet, thanks to your care." The councillor laughed.

"No, Miss Hazel is calm, very good, always by your lady's side, sensible and obedient."

Klein smiled and greeted him, and the two walked into the club side by side, two valets holding umbrellas after their employers.

As he spoke, Klein felt that the atmosphere around him was a little delicate, and while he echoed Councilman Mahert to express the joy of the rest of his life, he quietly watched his surroundings, and saw that several familiar nobles or members of the military were also peeking at him, looking lukewarm.

Because the Southern Continent has also encountered some dangers, perhaps it is also because Rune is now confident again.

Crane shook his head, didn't look at the people, and turned to Congressman Macht to ask, "What's going on today?" ”

Congressman Macht's expression became a little fanatical, and he lowered his voice and said, "Dontès, do you know anything 'extraordinary'?" You are better informed than me, you should already know, there are really special abilities in this world, and they are very powerful! ”

Crane nodded.

The councillor looked left and right: "The big people have released the terrible news that His Majesty the King is going to show the power of miracles at next week's mass mourning ceremony for the victims, and repair the damage to the whole of Beckland in one fell swoop." ”

The power of repair? Now that I'm not used to it, I'm still a little unused to it...... Crane was a little curious, and was about to speak, when he was suddenly stunned.

Repair?

Which way has the power to directly repair items? Even a craftsman can't fix the whole of Beckland in a day!

What's more, how can there be high-level craftsmen in Beckland now!

Could this be a miracle?

Zarathu in Beckland!
