"Good afternoon, ma'am."

"Good afternoon."

After hearing Bernadette's soft voice respond, Klein casually pulled out his chair and sat down opposite the eldest daughter of Russell the Great.

This isn't the first time the two have talked about business, but it seems to be the first time they've met in such a public place.

Because of the exchange between the "Mystery Queen" and the "Fool" about Russell's diary, Crane knew what the big man of the secret organization was pursuing, so he had always trusted each other, in fact, this time was also the right time for Crane, and he also had something to contact the lady.

Bernadette's sea-blue eyes swept over the unfamiliar face on the other side, and said calmly, "It seems that you also have something to tell me." ”

Is this the revelation that the "master of prophecy" received? It can't be that I'm so obvious, I'm a demigod-level "faceling" anyway...... Crane muttered to himself.

Immediately, he realized that something was wrong with his mentality, as if he was too proud. Klein quickly looked back on the experience of the past few days, and quickly found the source of suspicion: was it because of contact with the Red Evil Spirit and was under the influence of covert?

Klein sorted out his mentality and wording, nodded politely at Bernadette on the surface, and asked rhetorically:

"Are you done in Beckland?"

"No, it can be said that it has failed."

Seeing Klein's surprised face, Bernadette shook her head slowly: "The second sequence of 'The Voyeur' has a strange name, 'Sage'. In order to ascend to this rank of ritual, a catastrophe involving a higher level of power must be prevented. ”

Bernadette explained that she stayed in Beckland for many years because she saw opportunities that would arise, but each time there was a deviation.

She happened to leave the place during the Great Smog of Beckland last year, but this time the war was launched by Fersak on his own initiative, and the air raid on Beckland, making Bernadette's efforts in the Kingdom of Rune come to naught.

Such a ceremony is very important for personal luck.

Klein remembered his conversation with the evil spirit of the "Red Angel", if George III wanted to become the "Black Emperor", stopping this might be enough for Bernadette to give her a chance to be promoted, but it would be difficult......

The Seven Gods acquiesced in the fact that the emperor of the Rune Kingdom became a god, even if he was not happy to see it, he would not openly oppose it with the support of others, this matter is not suitable for me to say, when the time comes, let the "hermit" be the microphone, and the "fool" will point it out, and the "world" will come forward to communicate?

With so many forces involved, Klein intends to tell Bernadette about this "opportunity" now, and let her know the dangers of these changes. After all, there is a plan that the true god is watching behind the scenes, and for Sequence 4 and Sequence 3, they must be more cautious in order to find a chance to achieve their goals.

Crane sighed silently, his shoulders gradually drooping: "This war involves the Son of the Creator, the King of Angels, and the True Gods...... It's not something you can stop. ”

Although Bernadette's expression was serious, Klein could see a trace of turbulent emotion, and the "mysterious queen" seemed to be different today.

She didn't show any surprise: "I know, but it's also an opportunity. ”

"I think so too. If you're only planning to strike at critical moments, planning for specific moments will also give you a chance to complete the ritual safely. Crane chimed in, and after a two-second pause, he took the initiative to ask, "What are you looking for me for?" ”

"Can you find Hamel Brooke?" Bernadette asked, her fingers slicing lightly across the air, and shredded starlight emerged.

"No, you can't. She...... She's not in great shape, but I can try. ”

Klein didn't hide his worries, but he was a little surprised when he saw a circular star pattern drawing from Bernadette's fingertips.

Bernadette bowed slightly: "Looks like you recognize this symbol." ”

Klein was silent for two seconds before saying, "It's a long story, all I can say is that it has something to do with Mr. 'Fool', with the existence of an alias 'Zoya', and I have no right to talk about it. ”

"I asked for a tube of blood from Hamel and did a divination that went beyond the regular person. I saw this symbol in the fragment of the long river of fate, I saw a primordial island, and I saw the mausoleum hidden on that island, with its dark and asymmetrical twisted throne, and the red light clinging to it.

"This divination has almost exhausted my spiritual power, but I have received an unusually clear direction and response......"

The room was quiet for a while, and then the "mysterious queen" smiled a shallow smile:

"My father, he's still alive."

Bernadette's voice was not steady when she said this, and there were tiny points of glittering light in her eyes as she looked at the symbol, and Klein couldn't even tell if it was tears, or if it was the desperate hope of a daughter.

Klein believes that the other party did not tell anyone the news, and Bernadette would not risk his father's chance to survive, and the reason why he told Gelman Sparrow was more because the other party was a relative of the "Fool", and the "Fool" was one of the few existences in the world who could interpret Russell's diary.

It's like Klein has a special trust in the "mysterious queen", and the other party told him the news, so that the "world" could relay this matter to the "fool".

Klein took a deep breath, and the news that Huang Tao might still be alive was a good starting point:

"One of the causes of this war was the discovery of nine secret tombs left behind by King George III of Rune, the 'Emperor of Blood'. He wanted to go to the 'Black Emperor' path and become Sequence Zero, so he ......"

Klein told all the information he had obtained during this time, regardless of whether the other party had a detailed understanding or not, but just sorted out the various actions of the Rune royal family behind the scenes, as well as the innovation of the apparent policy, which belonged to the "Black Emperor" trying to establish normal rules.

Bernadette had been listening quietly and had not interrupted Klein's narration.

At the end, Klein took a deep breath and covered for himself: "That one once told me that the 'Black Emperor' has the ability to resurrect, but once a new 'Black Emperor' appears, the original one will fall. ”

Bernadette waved her hand, and the symbol condensed by the dots of starlight in the air disappeared.

She thought quietly for a moment before she spoke slowly, "You want to stop George III?" ”

"Yes."

"Why?"

Klein has also asked himself this question, seeking clear goals and reasons for others or himself in different situations.

There seems to be no difference in the "why" this time, and there can be many reasons after this, for their own interests, for the interests of others, the residents of the East Side who were abandoned by the upper class in the haze, the ordinary people who are about to be hurt in the turmoil of the war, helping Russell, a senior, to save his life, and so on.

Every reason can be said with righteousness, but he doesn't want to, he doesn't want to put those things on the scales, that's not his weight.

If it were Esther, she might not need any time to think about it at all—"I didn't think much about it, I just did what I wanted." ”

There is no such clear meaning in life.

Klein smiled peacefully, "Some ridiculous, not worth mentioning reasons. ”

Bernadette looked at him silently for a few seconds, and then smiled as well:

"Enough. I'm also for something slim, something that probably won't happen...... Until that little hope comes.

"I am willing to cooperate with you in stopping George III."

Klein nodded, "I'll give you the messenger's summoning method." ”

Bernadette stretched out her right hand and patted it on the table, and the pen on the table suddenly jumped up and began to write on the paper.

After the pen jumped back into the cap and rolled to the side and stretched, Bernadette spread her hand towards the note: "This is my messenger's summoning method. ”

Crane also took out the letter paper from his coat pocket and wrote down the spell that summoned his messenger, noting that he needed to pay the postage of one gold coin, and then carefully examined the summoning spell handed to him by the "mysterious queen":

"Invisible creatures that roam the upper realms, strange beings that are friendly to humans, belong to Bernadette alone. Gustav's Messenger ......"

With these words in mind, Crane shook the note, and a red flame rose from his palm, swallowing the note completely.

——

"Me! In my name I call:

"Spirits that roam the upper realms, friendly creatures to be driven, messengers of Esther alone."

When the air was blowing, a gap in the spirit world opened between the candles, and the black-furred puppy came out of it, and when he saw Crane, he immediately began to wag his tail behind him.

Klein leaned down and gently stroked his furry head, the little black dog rubbing his hand, his tail clapping on the ground.

"I have a letter for her here," Klein shook the envelope in his hand, "I'm going to give it to you this time, do you know where she is now?" ”

The little black dog nodded and bit the envelope that Klein handed over, but instead of leaving immediately, it looked left and right.

Crane suddenly understood what it was looking for: "I'm sorry...... Nornes isn't there, and you can't meet it. ”

The little black dog's tail drooped gradually, and soon it was back into the spiritual rift to fulfill its duties as a messenger.

Klein didn't say much in the letter, except to tell the other party that "there is a clue to Russell's mausoleum." This is perhaps the shortest letter he wrote to his fellow countrymen, in the past letters, the two would always pull for a long time on trivial things, sharing life with each other.

This letter, however, is more like a cold notice.

The recipient written on the outside of the envelope is not only "Esther", but also another name, "Zoya".

Klein couldn't tell if he was expecting a reply from the other party.
