Looking at the petite puppet that appeared at some point, but was alive and spoken, Edssac and Triss froze in place for a moment, a great fear gripped their hearts.

"You ......"

Edsax opened his mouth with difficulty, slowly lowered his usual proud head, and whispered, "Who are you?" ”

"You can call me, Witch Rena."

Edsak's pupils shrank: "Witch? ”

Triss's slender body trembled slightly, and she resisted the fear in her heart and asked:

"What is your relationship with the Witch Sect?"

The petite doll glanced at her and said calmly:

"The Witch Cult believes in the Primordial Witch, whose real name is Chik, and we are enemies."

To be precise, she and all the gods of this world are enemies.

"Loftus-Cheek!"

Looking at the petite doll in front of her, who seemed to be not half threatened, the goosebumps on Trissy's body bulged uncontrollably, with distinct grains and cold sweat. Her lips twitched, but she couldn't speak, and there was an indescribable fear on her face.

So, that's why she was renamed Tris-Cheek? Himself is His God vessel? ——

St. Samuel's Church, a quiet room.

Audrey opened her eyes slowly, and the slightly playful voice of Mr. 'Fool' echoed in her head!

She subconsciously looked at the embers on the side, her expression management was out of control in an instant, and she was also worried:

"Ember, what are we going to do now?"

Audrey believes that the other party has also received a message from Mr. 'Fool'.

Ember shook his head, continuing the topic and asked:

"So, don't you think it's all too coincidental?"

Audrey was stunned for two seconds, and finally realized how 'coincidental' the current situation was!

Knowing that hypnosis might be discovered, the other party still chose to take the risk of hypnotizing her father. If it weren't for Mr. Fool and Ember in attendance, she would have found a way to come to the Night Church for help. And even with the participation of the 'fools', at the suggestion of Hibbert, they came to the Church of the Night by 'chance'.

When it comes to an earl, a faithful believer in the Church of the Night, Archbishop St. Anthony certainly does not dare to slack off. So of course, he chose to take action personally to solve the crisis on Count Hall. But as soon as he left, Audrey discovered that there was a bigger crisis brewing behind the scenes. 、

And Archbishop St. Anthony had already set out, although it would not be difficult for a demigod to solve the troubles of Count Hall. But no one knows if he will happen to be entangled in some 'accident'. And the Church of the Night, which has lost Archbishop St. Anthony, will also be leaderless and will no longer be able to respond in time.

It's all too coincidental, and the coincidence doesn't seem like a coincidence, it seems like a necessity! It's as if an invisible hand is secretly manipulating all this, plucking the strings of fate. Audrey almost immediately remembered the organization that the Fool had mentioned, the Dusk Hermit.

That's what they often do, interfering with the progress of history, making it fit their own needs, so as to accomplish their goals at a certain point. And right now, maybe it's one of the nodes they have chosen!

"And the purpose of these 'coincidences' ......"

Audrey subconsciously looked up at the embers, only to find that his expression was extremely calm, as if he had expected all this. Of course, he knew that there were ghosts behind the 'coincidences' behind all this, but he wanted to know where the limits of this 'coincidence' were, and what the other party's purpose was in creating these 'coincidences'.

——

With Mr. Azik's help, Klein was able to escape without incident. However, due to the interference of Ince Zangwill, he fell into the underground ruins where he is now.

Fortunately, he has been promoted to the rank of 'Faceling', and by passing on the news and searching for the fake Inszangwill, Crane has overcome the interference of the "Master Key" with the help of divination, and has made his way to the exit of the revelation.

Cautiously, he did not choose to go through the main entrance, but used the 'master key' to pass through the wall and enter a large hall. Beneath his feet were neat but mottled gray stone slabs, with thick pillars in front of him, and in the center four hooded figures kneeling around what appeared to be an altar.

Immediately after, a soft but low female voice came into Klein's ears:

"Mr. A, are you ready?"

——

Ember groped his chin and suddenly asked curiously:

"How do you think Archbishop Anthony would have responded if he were here?"

Audrey calmed down and calmly analyzed:

"If it's Archbishop St. Anthony's...... No, even Archbishop St. Anthony is only a demigod. When it comes to an evil god who may come to life at any time, even a demigod can hardly play a key role, and it is too late to ask the Templar for help. But there are still many powerful seals within the church, and Archbishop St. Anthony may activate a '0' level seal! ”

With the help of Mr. 'The Hanged Man', she had been making up for some time in this area. I know that even in the major churches, the '0' level seal is very dangerous, has the highest importance, the highest level of secrecy, and cannot be inquired about, not to be passed on, not to be described, not to be snooped on. It is said that some terrible items that can destroy countries and even the world, corresponding to the person of angels and above!

It is difficult for a demigod to resist the arrival of an evil god, but it is not an evil god after all, and a 'Angel Rank' seal should be able to deal with it.

But it's a pity that Archbishop 'St. Anthony' is not in St. Samuel's Church at all right now! And to be expected, he is bound to be held back by a large number of accidents. No one other than him had the authority to use a '0' level seal, not even Ember'.

After all, within the Church of the Night, only a very small number of people know that he is a dependent. If he wants to use the '0' seal, he will need to explain his identity to the night watchmen first. And in this process, 'coincidence' will also play a role, and the accompanying 'misunderstanding' will undoubtedly slow down time considerably!

So the only way to solve the problem at the moment is for Ember to do it himself, and this may be what the people who planned it all want to see.

"Audrey."

Ember pondered for two seconds and asked, "Can you pray to a being on my behalf?" ”

Audrey nodded without hesitation, not even asking Ember if the being she spoke of was as kind as the 'Fool', because she believed that Ember would not harm her.

Ember quickly wrote down the corresponding honorific name on the paper, and Audrey did not hesitate to whisper it in Hermes:

"The Holy Spirit chases knowledge;

a beacon of the mysterious world;

Peeking into the eyes of fate;

The king of the sea;

Holy Bernadette Gustav. ”

"I pray for your help......"

——

"Mr. A? Mr. A of the Aurora Club? ”

Crane couldn't help but move slightly when he heard the female voice. He has the Black Emperor card, and he also knows that the royal family is digging underground ruins to secretly prepare for George III's ceremony to promote the Black Emperor. And this underground ruin where he is now is likely to be one of them!

And right now, it can be confirmed that Ince Zangwill is also cooperating with the royal family, and even the Witch Sect and the Aurora Society are cooperating with the royal family!

Klein knew that Ember had been searching for information on this, and although Ember did not intend to wait for George III to become the Black Emperor before going head-to-head with him, but was ready to make a move in advance, Klein also felt that it was necessary for him to gather more information for Ember.

After all, it's all here, you can't just leave without doing anything, right?

What's more, hasn't the other party discovered him yet? No one has anything to worry about.

Thinking so, Crane, who had planned to slowly move along the wall and the shadows to the door, shrank back silently.

The soft and melodious voice before chuckled and said:

"You don't seem to trust us yet?"

"Yes." Mr. A responded unceremoniously.

"Hehe, then I'll be honest about our purpose and why we asked you to cooperate."

The soft female voice said without exasperation, "We have done something that has left a certain trace, and we must do it before it is discovered by the Night, the Storm, the Steam Church, and the military, and this requires your help." ”

"You teleported me to the East, and I was in charge of setting the fire, and you can use this opportunity to expand the trend and create passages or containers for your Lord to come down to earth. The only price you pay is to bear all the notoriety and get the maximum hatred from the military and the three major churches, but I don't think you should mind. ”

The hall was silent for a few seconds, and Mr. A did not respond for a long time, as if he was thinking about the feasibility of this plan.

And the owner of the soft female voice did not rush to urge, because she was not worried that Mr. A would refuse, after all, no matter how this matter was looked at, it would be beneficial to the Aurora Society. It's a good thing for these lunatics to be infamous on their backs, otherwise they wouldn't have done so many horrible things.

After a long time, Mr. A nodded slowly, and replied with a lack of emotion:

"Yes."

Wearing a hood, a transparent and blurry book quickly appeared in front of him, accompanied by a distant and ethereal chant:

"I came, I saw, I recorded."

The book flipped quickly, froze on one of the pages, and immediately bloomed with a light blue and illusory light. The light enveloped the desperate lady in her pure white robe, making her figure blur at first and then invisible.

——

At the Red Rose Manor, Prince Edsak sits by the floor-to-ceiling windows, which are filled with warm sunlight.

Although Beckland is shrouded in fog all year round, it's a suburb of Queens, far from the factory district and St. George's where 'fog' is produced. So it's nice to be able to enjoy plenty of sunshine.

"Your Royal Highness, please as soon as possible."

A voice rang out beside him.

Edsax turned his head to look at the man who had spoken, his gray hair neatly combed, and in a butler's suit that was straight to the point of not having a trace of wrinkles, it was his butler Finkel.

Until then, he had been his best, most loyal, and most respected subordinate, and had always been meticulous and faithful in carrying out any of his orders. And never ask why. But now, it was the faithful old butler who was forcing him on his way.

Edsak laughed at himself, but his most important subordinate had never been loyal to him, and he had only carried out the king's orders from beginning to end. On the surface, he is obedient to his words and brains, but in fact he is just monitoring himself and making him decent at critical times. If he is not willing to be decent, the other party will not mind helping him to be decent. And Edssac has no doubt about this, a Sequence 5 extraordinaire definitely has this qualification.

And the fate of he, the object of Finkel's former service and the third prince of the former Kingdom of Rune, has long been doomed-

Secretly cooperating with the Witch Sect, and finally committing suicide in fear of sin, how ironic does it sound?

"Finkel."

Edsak muttered in a low voice, "How many years have you been with me?" More than twenty years, right? You hugged me when I was a child, and I always treated you as my elder......"

"Your Royal Highness."

Finkel's expression was extremely indifferent, and he said calmly, "That's just His Majesty's order. ”

He calmly approached Edsak and picked up the revolver on the table. He could see that Edsak, who was still trying to play the warm card, had obviously lost the dignity that a prince should have, and at this time, he needed the help of his servant to help him be decent.

"Heh~"

Edsax laughed at himself, his smile full of sarcasm and mockery. Not only to Finkel, but also to himself.

Descendant of the Founder, Protector, Descendant of the Powerful, Fifth Child of His Majesty the King, Count Rastin, His Royal Highness Prince Edssac Augustus...... This series of titles that once made him extremely proud have now become a complete joke, as if an invisible slap hit him in the face and shattered all his pride.

"Poof!"

Red blood gushed out from his body and splashed onto Edsak's face, the warm, sticky, and slightly sweet touch made Edsax tilt his head weakly, and his eyes gradually dimmed.

"Poof~"

A large amount of blood spurted from Finkel's mouth, and he lowered his head with difficulty, and saw a huge long sword that pierced his chest and split him in half directly from the middle, and the blood had completely soaked his meticulous butler suit, and the lower half of his bleeding body fell to the ground weakly. Relying on the powerful vitality of the Extraordinary, only the upper body of the sword body was left alive and breathing.

In front of him was Edsak, who had risen from his chair and held a strangely shaped bell in his hand.

"I gave you a chance."

Edsak stood in front of Finkel, his eyes darkened, and he whispered, "It's you who don't know how to cherish it." ”

Edsax has always felt that Russell has a sentence that is very right, people are not grass and trees, who can be ruthless? But the reality is often so unforgiving, he misses Finkel's old love, but he doesn't appreciate it at all.

And all this......

"It's all because of my damn father!"

The corners of Edsak's mouth hooked slightly, revealing a distorted smile of Honkai, his hands spread out in a hug, and he looked obsessed, "Power!" That's what it's like to have power! Finkel, do you feel it? ”

Finkel didn't say anything, because his life had long since passed completely.

Edsak, however, looked obsessively at the tall figure in front of him who had killed Finkel. It was a knight who was much taller than an ordinary person, wearing a solid red full-body armor, holding a large sword thicker than a normal person's waist in one hand, and a huge oval shield in the other, with a huge curved horn representing the horns of the furnace in the center!

He remembered the name given to him by the man who gave him this knight—

"Crucible Knight!"
