Chapter 338: The Verge

With the help of faith, Klein regained his humanity and memories little by little, and initially recovered the state he was in before taking the potion, muttering in a low voice:

"Is that so?"

When he ascended to Sequence 2, an extraordinary characteristic that came from his body, a strong, terrifying, high-minded, irresistible thought seemed to awaken a little, and transmitted one image after another, some of which were occult knowledge of the 'miracle master', some of which were dust ignited into the sun, and magnificent scenes of various stars, all of which carried the spiritual imprint of recklessness, indifference, cruelty, madness, condescension, and emotionlessness, rapidly assimilating Klein's spirit, Let him change his state uncontrollably!

Klein knew that was the 'primordial'!

Just as he had predicted, when he was promoted to Sequence 2, he was gradually resuscitating in his body that he couldn't hold back.

And because of his connection to the Source Castle, the degree of primordial recovery in his body is even higher than that of other miracle masters!

Luckily, the crimson stars and the many bright points of light: the prayers of the Tarot members such as 'Justice' were heard from those stars, and the prayers of the members of the Abrahamic family echoed in the points of light, and together they created an image of the supreme and hidden being shrouded in gray mist, looking at the world with pity.

For Klein, both of these anomalies are pollution-

The spiritual imprint within the extraordinary trait wants to turn him into the primordial, and the anchor wants to turn him into a 'fool'!

Yes, the anchor is both the key to bringing Klein back to his humanity, but at the same time it is a pollution!

Because the anchor is not a tool to help him maintain his humanity, its main role is to form corresponding cognitions, orientations and images, and to maintain a delicate balance against each other with the spiritual imprints within the extraordinary characteristics.

Under this balance, Klein's own humanity can barely be maintained, and it will not be seriously affected by either side.

In other words, there is a difference between the perceived deities and the actual deities, and if there is no spiritual imprint within the extraordinary characteristics to counter this influence, the image of the deity in their minds will gradually overshadow the true appearance of the deity.

Until this time, Klein also understood the reason why the gods had human statues at the beginning, but later they all became holy emblems, which could prevent the believers from having a unified image cognition, and better play the role of the anchor on the initial residual spirit of the antigen, rather than subtly changing itself.

Crane thought about it for a moment, and then his mind turned to return to the gray mist.

When he becomes the 'Miracle Master', becomes Him, and becomes the master of the 'Source Fort', he can easily return here without having to take four more backward steps, chant incantations, or have all the Tarot members pray.

And now that he has become a 'miracle master', Klein has to prepare for the next step-

Although Zarathu took the initiative to send him to the door, he is still one of the extraordinary characteristics of Sequence 1 before he is close to Sequence 0.

But just as he was about to leave, he suddenly saw a huge ship with sails hanging in the fog in the distance passing silently!

The ship was not alone, it was followed by many of its kind, one, two, three...... They make up a long fleet.

In the entire Sunia Sea, there are only two fleets of this size, one is the Sunia Sea Fleet of the Kingdom of Rune and the other is the Sunia Sea Fleet of the Vorsak Empire.

And even those who don't know the flags flying on the ships can guess from the direction from which this fleet is coming - the island of Sunia!

Both for the Fersak Empire and for the Kingdom of Rune, Sunia was a very important strategic location.

If it is occupied by Rune, Nafsak's Eastern Navy will be blocked in the icy north, unable to fight for the various colonial islands in the Sunia Sea, unable to go to East Bailang, and at the same time, if they want to threaten the hinterland of Rune after starting a war, they will have to cross the Amanda Mountains or cross the Mahai Sea, through the defense of several counties, which is very, very difficult.

And if the island of Fusak is occupied by the Fusak Empire, from here, all the ports in the north and central of Rune will be within attack range, including but not limited to the port of Enmat and the port of Prieze, if the commander of Fusak is bold and does not care about the losses, he can even directly target the capital of Rune not far from the port, Beckland.

Because of this, the 'Twenty Years' War broke out between the two countries, and the Visak Empire was victorious, gaining the vital 'southward passage'.

In the 'War of Oaths' that followed, Rune won the war, but failed to regain the territory, and only half of his strategic goal was achieved.

And what does it mean that the Sunia Sea Roll of the Fersak Empire is now heading towards the Rorsted Islands?

Klein's face changed slightly, as he thought of one word:

War!

Taking advantage of the fog rolling up in the Sunia Sea, the Vosak Empire is preparing to launch a surprise attack on the naval base of the Kingdom of Rune!

And since the Fusak Empire wants to start a war, it will definitely not be limited to the Sunia Sea, but also the northern Mahai County and Winter County, and there must be corresponding Fusak Imperial troops trying to attack!

Thinking of this, Klein did not hesitate to give up his plan to return to the gray mist, and directly 'teleported' back to Beckland.

——

6 Pinster Street.

In the study, Melissa was studying hard for the upcoming entrance exam, and just wanted to relax, she suddenly saw a man in a trench coat and a top hat quietly appeared in the study, startling her.

"Crane?"

Crane didn't have time to say hello, and asked quickly:

"It's me, Benson?"

Melissa stood up from her desk and asked a little strangely:

"He's at work, what's wrong?"

Klein was about to answer, when he was struck by inspiration, and he turned sharply and walked to the window, opening the window to look at the sky.

In the sky, where the stratus clouds are not thin, airships painted in dark brown colors are approaching densely.

These airships are painted with diagonally striped red, white and yellow logos, which are the flag of Vrsack!

Klein said in a deep voice:

"Melissa, follow me to St. Samuel's Church."

"Now?"

Melissa couldn't help but get nervous when she saw him so serious.

"Yes, now."

"That Benson's ......"

"I'll take you to church first, and then I'll go to him."

Klein reached out and grabbed Melissa's shoulders, and the next moment the figures of the two disappeared into the study.

Again appeared, already in the prayer hall of the church of St. Samuel.

Melissa watched in amazement at what was happening in front of her, and then she noticed a sudden burst of darkness around the church, enveloping them almost in the blink of an eye.

Melissa didn't understand the reason for this change, but Crane understood that it was a necessary defense against an angelic invasion by the Night Church.

In order to avoid the conflict from escalating, Crane waved his hand and displayed a badge, which was a badge of the night that symbolized the favor of the goddess of the night.

Of course, this isn't really the Night Badge, just a replica that Klein made out of a historical projection.

The real Night Badge was in Ember's hands, and Crane had seen it a few times, so he could 'take' it out of the historical projection.

Really.

The darkness around them disappeared silently, and an old man with no beard and deep eyes appeared in front of them.

He wears a clergyman's robe with red stripes on a black background, and the five dark emblems on his chest reveal his identity - the archbishop of the Church of the Night, the head of the diocese of Beckland, the saint Anthony Stevenson.

Klein gets straight to the point:

"I'm friends with Viscount Black."

Archbishop St. Anthony asked in a soothing tone:

"Your Excellency, how can I help you?"

Klein breathed a sigh of relief and said without hesitation:

"This is the sister of a friend of mine, and I still have some things to deal with and there is no way to protect her personally, so I hope she and her brother can stay here and accept the protection of the goddess."

In order to win Merissa's trust, he returned to Beckland with the face of 'Klein Moretti', but when he came to the Church of the Night, he changed to the face of 'Gelman Sparrow'. Although it is only separated by a veil, the other party can find it as long as he wants to check it, but Klein feels that this layer of 'screen window' is still necessary.

As long as both sides tacitly agree and do not expose it.

"No problem."

St. Anthony smiles and bows:

"Your Excellency, you can do whatever you want."

"Thank you."

Klein bowed solemnly, then looked at Melissa on the side, and admonished:

"Melissa, stay here, Benson will be here soon."

"Gram ......"

Melissa opened her mouth but couldn't make a sound, as she was now only the sister of one of Klein's friends.

The girl pursed her lips and said in a low voice:

"Thank you."

Klein smiled, and the figure disappeared into place, leaving only Melissa and Archbishop St. Anthony in the prayer hall.

But soon, Melissa suddenly notices that her surroundings have changed.

The place was still the prayer hall, but the girl's ears were filled with the sound of people talking.

She looked around, and realized that the prayer hall she thought was empty was actually full of people.

Most of them have prominent status, rich clothes, and extraordinary status, and all of them are big figures who influence the situation in Rune.

But at this time, the faces of these big people are full of anxiety and nervousness.

Outside the church, there was a steady stream of believers rushing towards it.

It's clear that these bigwigs have already realized in advance what is going to happen, just like Klein.

"Melissa!"

A cry came from the girl's ear, and she subconsciously turned her head to see a man with dark gray eyes, a slightly high hairline, a trench coat, and red gloves walking towards her.

"Mr. Dunn."

Melissa recognized the other and knew that he was Klein's former boss, and whispered hello.

Dunn Smith was visibly relieved when he saw Melissa's figure, but quickly asked:

"Where's Benson?"

Melissa was about to answer when an anxious cry came from the door:

"Melissa!"

Both turned around at the same time to see Benson standing at the entrance to the church, anxiously searching for Melissa from the crowd.

——

Outside St. Samuel's Church, Crane frowned as he looked at the airship troops approaching in the sky outside.

It's no secret that Fersak has airship troops.

In fact, the Kingdom of Rune also has its own airship troops, but most of them are deployed on the border.

And because of this, the high-level leaders of the Rune Kingdom must be aware of the threat of the airship force, although the concept of 'air defense' has just emerged, it is definitely not weak.

The kingdom of Rune knew that its neighbor to the north would not be too honest and could go south at any time to start a war, and it was impossible not to take any precautions against it.

And on the premise that the Kingdom of Rune is on guard, Fusak's airship force can pass through the coast to the nearly 100-kilometer area of Beckland in extreme stealth without being detected, which definitely has the influence of extraordinary ability!

The thick fog was the best cover, enough for ordinary people to not see clearly the airship flying high in the air, providing enough concealment.

In other words, this sneak attack must have the protection of the 'weather warlock'!

Otherwise, even if you take a detour to a sparsely populated place, you will definitely be seen in advance, and you will definitely be intercepted by the Rune Airship Force.

The royal family of the Vorsack Empire is the Einhorn family, and they have the 'Hunter' path in their hands, so it's not surprising that they have the 'Weather Warlock' in Sequence 2, but it's an angel after all!

Since the Fifth Age, there have been absolutely very few such extraordinary people in war.

And in order to ensure that this attack can be carried out smoothly, the Fusak Empire actually directly let the angels attack, which in a sense has already shown that the scale of this war is destined to far exceed people's expectations!

Klein had anticipated this war, so he knew it was destined to sweep the world. And once the war starts, it will inevitably involve all levels, even the gods such as the 'Lord of the Storm', the 'Eternal Sun', the 'Mother Earth Goddess', the 'God of Steam and Machines', and the 'God of Knowledge and Wisdom' will have to choose their own sides, and the contradictions between them that have been temporarily suppressed for a thousand years or two will be completely intensified.

'Mother Earth Goddess' likes giants, and even among the gods, there are Fursaks, and the Kingdom of Fenerport has a bitter hatred for Rune and Intis because of the division of Frenburg, Marcy, and Segal, and the will of the king and the divine right is likely to be unified, and it is likely to form an alliance with Füsak and attack Rune and Intith from the south to the north, of course, the countries such as Lenburg and the Church of Knowledge in the middle will definitely make blocks.

The only variable is the Republic of Intellis.

Theoretically, the Republic of Intis should have a closer relationship with the Kingdom of Rune, the Empire of Vösak and the Kingdom of Fenerpoter are their common enemies, and the Church of Steam also has a large mission in the Kingdom of Rune, and has a good relationship with the Church of the Night and the Church of the Storm.

But on the other hand, the Eternal Sun and the Lord of Storms, the God of Knowledge and Wisdom, are mortal enemies, and it is likely that they are on the side of the God of War.

Therefore, which side the Republic of Intisi will fall to will determine the outcome of this war to a great extent.

Crane retracted his thoughts and looked at the airship in the sky.

But that still doesn't explain a problem.

Although the Fersak Empire has 'weather magicians' to provide cover, the Kingdom of Rune is also not short of angels.

Theoretically, the angels of the Kingdom of Rune should be able to react in time.

So, what caused the angels of the Kingdom of Rune to fail to detect the anomaly in all this?

Klein asked a question, and quickly thought of an answer, and a word popped into his head:

"Coincidence!"

The answer is that the airship unit of the Fusak Empire was able to reach Beckland based on coincidence!

And the angels of the Kingdom of Rune failed to find out, also because of coincidence.

So, who is helping the Vorsack Empire create coincidences?
