Chapter Seventy-Five: Klein's Dilemma

On Glerint's side, after attending the party, he naturally returned to the small town of Ana.

Leave him alone, just on Klein's side, since the end of the party above the gray fog, he has been inexplicably a little uneasy.

Klein always had the feeling that the message given by Mr. "The Emperor" about the Hidden Sage seemed to be telling Miss "Justice" and Mr. "The Hanged Man", but it was actually to him.

"Well, this shouldn't be possible, maybe it's just my delusion, right? After all, Mr. 'Emperor' doesn't know my true situation, and in their eyes, I should be an ancient and hidden existence that is recovering. ”

Crane subconsciously shook his head and dismissed the idea.

But?

"Hidden Sage ......"

"I'm the only 'voyeur' next to me, but he doesn't seem to be out of the ordinary."

"If you want to say weird and scary, when I first became a 'soothsayer,' I saw that eye behind his back was quite scary. But then again, many of the rituals and abilities of the Extraordinary seem to be quite terrifying, which doesn't seem to explain anything......"

"And old Neil himself has explained that it is just a residual effect of ritual magic, and it doesn't look like he's lying."

"And if you lose control, won't you become a crazy monster? Old Neil looked perfectly normal everywhere. ”

After a lot of self-explanation and self-comfort, the uneasiness that spread in Klein's heart not only did not subside at all, but became more and more intense.

After pacing back and forth a few times, he shook his head heavily, forcing himself not to run away from it, and to face it squarely.

"But if he had really been tempted by the Hidden Sage and had become mentally abnormal, then he could no longer believe his words...... And that eye is a little too scary, it feels very evil......"

"So what should I do? Do you report directly to the captain? It doesn't seem to be necessary...... It's better to talk to old Neil directly, after all, he still looks very normal and completely sane. ”

After figuring out this question, he turned his attention to another matter, and that was the question of Mr. "Emperor's" belief in evil gods.

Frankly, his first instinct was to report the incident to captain Dunn Smith, but after careful consideration, he abandoned the plan for several reasons:

First, in the eyes of Miss "Justice" and the other three people, he can be regarded as a "secret existence", and from the perspective of himself and others, there are still some differences between "secret existence" and "evil gods", and Mr. "Emperor" does not seem to have suffered anything bad.

Second, he didn't have a good reason at all to report an extraordinary person on the south side of the Southern Continent who believed in an evil god, after all, he didn't know what his reality was.

Third, the "Lord of Order" acts as if he knows himself, or the original owner of the gray mistβ€”this can be used as a direction of investigation into his "traversal".

And most importantly, since that being knows himself and reports him in the real world, he may attract his attention......

"Well, until I come into contact with Him in the real world, I'd better observe more."

Beckland, Queens.

Looking at the oil paintings on the wall and feeling the softness of the velvet pillows, Audrey did not get up immediately, but seriously reminisced about today's party, as if watching a play re-enacted.

"Mr. 'Fool' gave that incantation with a certain confidence in his tone, he, no, is he really a high-ranking being who can respond to the prayer ceremony? The kind that resembles a goddess? ”

Audrey, who was thinking silently, suddenly took a deep breath, and her body trembled faintly. Then, she inevitably remembered the gesture of Mr. "Emperor" bargaining with "Fool".

β€œβ€¦β€¦ This is very normal, I have vaguely noticed before, although Mr. 'Emperor' also respects the 'fool', but he does not have much awe, it turns out that he is actually serving a real god. ”

In the next second, her focus suddenly deviated:

"Well, in that case, doesn't he have to worry about potion recipes at all? It's really enviable...... No, no, the gods are not charitable, and they probably won't give him the formula directly, they will always send him to do things, so it can only be said that at least there is a clear direction. ”

"By the way, why do I have an inexplicable sense of familiarity with Mr. 'Emperor'?"

Lacking intelligence, she certainly couldn't get any effective results.

While thinking, Audrey's mood gradually improved, and she hummed a light melody and left the room in small steps.

When she came outside, she saw her personal maid Anne, and analyzed a lot of things from her subtle changes in demeanor and small body movements.

At this moment, she felt something in her heart, and subconsciously turned her head, not surprisingly, in the dark corner away from the balcony, she saw a big golden retriever squatting there, she was quietly observing herself.

Goddess...... Susie, she is really good at "playing".

Inexplicably, Audrey felt that she might be far inferior to a dog in the digestion speed of the "audience" potion......

On the sea of Sunia, in the captain's room, which is heavily protected.

Alger came to his senses and habitually looked around, noticing that nothing had changed.

He sighed and muttered inwardly:

"Ancient Power ......"

…………

After finishing the party above the gray fog, Crane returned to reality, opened the curtains, and wrote the newly harvested Russell diary in Chinese from memory, strengthening his memory, and then he tore them all up and burned them all.

"It turns out that the Antigone family has mastered the 'soothsayer' way?"

"In this way, may my choice of 'soothsayer' be influenced by more than just Russell's diary? Neil Sr. and Dunn were right, I really had an extraordinary relationship with that notebook, and I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing. ”

He didn't yet know about the polymerizing effect of extraordinary properties.

…………

The next day, Zotland Street, Black Thorn Security.

After receiving a wanted warrant from Dinn, Crane was arranged to systematically learn from Old Neil about the Extraordinary and the Secret Organization, and he took the opportunity to ask, as if at random:

"Mr. Neil, when you say 'Hidden Sage', I think of something, I wonder if I can ask you?"

"What's the matter?"

Old Neil asked casually as he fiddled with his hand-ground coffee.

Klein perked up and carefully organized a language probe:

"I heard Leonard and them gossip that the 'Voyeur' often heard the whispers of the 'Hidden Sage', and was chased by the knowledge he instilled, and easily lost his mind and became insane?"

After a slight pause, he continued:

"And they say that, more than ever, in recent years he has seduced many extraordinary people of the same way, and made them depraved......

Hearing his question, Old Neil's hand fiddling with his coffee paused for a few seconds, and then he said without any unusual joke:

"Little Moretti, you still can't let go of the eye behind me that you saw when you opened your spiritual vision before, right?"

Seeing that Klein had guessed his idea and scratched his head in embarrassment, he put down the movements in his hand and said to Klein seriously:

"I remember I told you that the motto of the 'Voyeur' is 'Do whatever you want, but don't hurt', I wonder if you remember?"

After Klein said he remembered, he added:

"So don't worry, I've always lived by this adage, I don't want to get out of control and become a monster without reason."

Hearing him say this, Crane nodded thoughtfully, but he was really relieved......

…………

The night before, after Glerlint had commissioned the "craftsman" to make magical items, he had ended the meeting smoothly without revealing anything unusual in the later knowledge exchange session, and then returned to the small town of Ana.

Not surprisingly, after subconsciously sensing it, he found that the "connection" between him and Carol had been severed.

"Also, after all, it is only in the essence of the ability that it has reached the angel level, and in the strength of the ability...... My spirituality is not enough to pry the power of the angelic spiritual realm, at most it is only Sequence 4, and it is not even at the level of Sequence 3. ”

With Anthy, the standard Sequence 4 clone, Glerint already has a very intuitive grasp of the extraordinary ability strength of Sequence 4.

It is worth mentioning that this doppelganger uses his own spirituality to use the extraordinary ability of Sequence 4, not like Glerint called the extraordinary ability of the "Duke of Entropy", which is released by prying the power of the spirit world, so he will be spiritually exhausted after using his extraordinary ability a few times - but he is originally a "monster" in the substantive sense, so he doesn't have to worry about spiritual depletion causing loss of control, at most, he can't release his extraordinary ability until the spiritual recovery is restored.

After a night's rest in the small town of Ana, Glerint, along with Afra and Tripp, set out on another journey south.

After all, although Glerint was somewhat touched by Brisse, the last part of the "Corrupt Baron" potion still showed no signs of being completely digested......

Although there had been a lot of snow last night, Gleilynt had not seen any snow on the section north of the Hean River for the time being, so the ox cart walked lightly, and at noon it crossed the Hean River and officially entered the Hagati steppe.

The Hagati steppe is a vast expanse with a nominal Rune colony to the north and indigenous areas to the south.

But in fact, in the whole of East Bailang, the southernmost of Rune's colonial power was to the Verteke region, and after crossing the Hean River, although there were still quite a few northerners active in many cities, in fact, they were no longer protected by Rune's military power, and even the consuls of those cities were not necessarily northerners.

In the savannah area, the distance between cities becomes very far at once.

After checking the military map in his hand, Glerint found that he and the others were at least three or four hours away from the next city, Sloansland, and the other towns were not marked in detail, so it was obvious that he could not find a place to eat and rest in the city at noon, so he immediately said to Trip:

"Alright, let's find a suitable place to stop, let's make a fire and bake something to eat, hot and hot and warm, and then continue walking."

With the help of Afra and Tripp, who made suggestions, Glerint had enough dry food, including large pieces of beef jerky, vegetarian bean curd, and barley cakes...... You can't talk about being delicate and delicious, but it's not a problem to be hungry.

"Alright, sir."

The old man who drove the cart shouted, drove the ox cart for another minute or two, and when he came to a place with water, he said to Glerint:

"My lord, we'll have to scoop up some water here, and then we'll go a little further to make a fire and make food."

Why don't you just rest and refresh here?

Before Glerint's doubts could be asked, the old man spoke:

"We can't stay too long where there's water, maybe the lions will come here to drink!"

Hearing this, Gleilynt was stunned at first, and then laughed:

"Then let's rest here, I'm not just getting my rifle ready, I'm looking forward to two more fierce monsters."

"This ...... All right! ”

Brisse hesitated, but still did not disobey Glerint.

Indeed, with rifles, even if you encounter a pack of lions, you can usually scare them away. And this is only the outskirts of the Hagati steppe, and Briske has been driving ox carts for so many years, and he has never heard of anyone encountering a lion in this area.

Glerint is even more afraid, after all, the intelligence of animals is not comparable to that of humans, although he didn't bring Anthy's demigod-level doppelganger, but even if he encounters half of a sequence 4 monster, he has a lot of confidence that he can take it down directly...... At least it's okay to scare away.
