Chapter 44: The Eve of June
Crane made a slightly weak look and walked outside. Along the way, he vaguely heard his servants in the distance whispering about him.
As for the fact that Dawn Dantès had fallen ill several times in the space of a few weeks, it was clear that the servants could not help but wonder if there was some stubborn illness in their master.
Some of the servants were worried about whether there would be any problems with Daun Dantès' health, while others were worried about whether they would lose their jobs because of it.
You know, in the Rune Empire, if a servant lets the nobles he serves die, then their "value" will also be much lower, although sometimes it is not their own problem, but this is obviously not something they can choose.
For example, after the death of Prince Edsak, Walter, who had been promoted by Prince Edsak, lost his job and was unable to find a suitable position for him for a long time.
The number of puppets that the "Master of Secret Puppets" can control is indeed limited, and unlike the "Parasite", there is a limit of 150 meters.
Although I can expand this scope with the help of the Secret Puppet and the Secret Puppet borrowing my own ability to manipulate the spirit thread from each other, and cover my "Secret Puppet Network" throughout Beckland, I sometimes have to go to sea - at that time, I will have no way to control my secret puppet in Beckland, and I can only pretend to be sick.
Well, by that time, Dawn Dantès wouldn't have been considered a frail merchant by the many nobles of Beckland, would he? When I first arrived, I could explain this problem, but after that, I couldn't, otherwise the value to "me" would be reduced considerably.
But no one wants to invest in someone who doesn't have a few years to live......
The corners of Klein's mouth moved, and he thought helplessly.
He took the clothes from Richardson, the valet on the side, and dressed neatly. Turning to Mr. Asnia, the butler beside him, he asked:
"Do I have any pre-scheduled arrangements for today?"
Asnia paused for a moment before turning to Klein, "Your lessons for the week are over, including the lessons you missed from the previous two days. Your original plan was to go to the Church of the Creator in the afternoon to pray to the Creator. ”
Since it's Sunday, Klein's class for the week has come to an end. Of course, as the price of pretending to be sick two days ago, he spent a whole day yesterday making up for the missing courses in the past few days.
After hearing Asnia explain to himself what he had done for the day, Klein nodded:
"In that case, draw up an invitation to my neighbours, and send a special invitation to some of the Earls I have attended to their banquets."
Speaking of this, Klein, who was disguised as Dawn Dantès, smiled: "I've been in Beckland for so long, it's time for me to set up a banquet and invite others to my banquet." Otherwise, it seems like I'm a little too rude. ”
"I see, Mr. Dantès."
Asnia nodded scrupulously:
"But if Monsieur Dantès is going to invite the Earl to dinner, my suggestion is ......"
Listening to Asnia expertly report the expenditure of one money after another to herself, Klein felt a slight tingling in his scalp. He smiled politely, and a "secret puppet swap" swapped a secret puppet that looked the same as Dawn Dantès and had no extraordinary characteristics to his place.
……
In the afternoon, when Dawn Dantès took his personal valet Richardson to the Church of the Creator to pray, Klein hid in the shadows, watching Richardson's prayer look become more and more pious, and couldn't help but nod his head approvingly.
In this way, it would be a few months at most before Richardson would become a devout believer in the Creator. Although Dawn Dantès was "sick" for the past two days, it was precisely because of this that Klein watched Richardson, who was idle, go to the convent of the Church of the Creator to volunteer for half a day after reporting his whereabouts to Mr. Walter.
Compared to other beliefs of this era, the faith of the True Creator Church is more civilized and advanced due to the support of the goddess of the night and the joint improvement of several time-travelers.
It's a pity that the "fool" is still an evil god, otherwise I would have let you believe in the "fool". When the time comes, I will be able to better perceive the mental activity in your mind and show you a "miracle......
Crane grunted as he changed his appearance, holding the prayer of the Dontes puppet in place, and he walked into the Church of the Creator.
As soon as he arrived at the place where he had last seen Ms. D, he saw a red-haired figure wandering around there.
When he saw Crane, Medici let out a "yo" and feigned surprise.
"Yo, isn't this His Excellency the Pope? How did you get here? ”
"Please don't do that, sir...... Ahem, Your Excellency the 'Angel of War'. The corners of Klein's mouth twitched slightly, and he felt that Medici's humanity was far richer than that of Ulorius, the king of angels, who had served the true creator of another person he had come into contact with.
Klein deliberately paused for a moment, waiting for Medici to finish looking himself up and down before continuing, "I'm here to ask you about the 'Hunter' Pathway High Sequence Extraordinary. ”
"What do you want to know about this? Do you still want to dance 'witch'? Don't be blinded by desire, you're not a ...... of the 'hunter' path" Medici laughed and casually provoked twice: "You go on, what questions do you want to ask?" ”
"A few days ago, I spotted traces of high-level extraordinaries in the underground of Beckland's path to the 'Hunter'." Klein paused in his tone:
"In a pool of blood (fire) (pot), I saw an iron-black skeleton soaked in the ground of Beckland......"
Before Klein could finish his sentence, Medici had already interrupted him:
"Iron-black skeletons? How big is Him, and what kind of pool of blood is He in? Sitting on the throne, or ......"
He...... Klein recalled for a moment: "It was so big, I felt that he, when he stood up, seemed to be the highest thing in all of Beckland. I knew that place, the largest vault that the Aurora Corporation had built before the cataclysm in Beckland. ”
But even that place couldn't contain His entire body. On this skeleton's body, I could see flesh beating. ”
Hearing that Crane seemed to be describing the dream-like scene, Medici's eyebrows raised:
"Divination?"
Klein was silent for a moment: "That's right. ”
"I suspect it's George III—but I don't know if it's a divination image, or if it's a counterpart to something that actually happened in the real world."
"Huh." Hearing that Crane was "divination", Medici was silent for a while, looking stunned for a moment. But soon, he said to Klein "with some surprise":
"Then you're not dead? Is it the Lord's favor? ”
"Hehe, no matter who that skeleton is, he is most likely a resuscitating red priest, spying on the true god and not dying. You've got a lot of luck. ”
Actually, I have a lot of experience in peeking into the true gods...... Klein thought a little weakly, and continued to ask:
"Then this 'Red Priest' is really George III?"
"Who knows? Maybe Alista Tudot came back to life. Medici said casually, and then smiled:
"That's not good, as far as I know. The old bastard has left his own backhand in various places, including Trier, including Beckland. ”
"Of course, Salinger, who failed in his attempt to accommodate the 'River of Eternal Darkness', made the uniqueness of the 'Red Priest' that Arista Tudot once accommodated be polluted by the 'River of Eternal Darkness', so if he wants to be resurrected, he must bypass the hurdle of the 'River of Eternal Darkness'."
Medici added:
"Of course, when it comes to the Sequence One trait of the 'Red Priest' pathway, you can try to investigate Sauron and the Einhorn family. As for the ones I left behind, ha, don't worry about them, they can't have the 'conqueror' trait, and that trait is most likely already contained by the current 'Red Priest'. ”
"What do you mean?" After a little speculation, Klein asked tentatively:
"The other two 'conqueror' traits are now in the Sauron and Einhorn families, as well as the Vorsak Empire and the Intis Empire?"
"That's right, that's right." Medici waved his hand and urged Klein in front of him:
"Alright—think about the weird things that Beckland has gathered right now, and what conspiracies are contained in them."
"You can't make this path so bad at thinking because you don't have a sequence of increasing intelligence, right? Also, the name at the top of your path is 'Fool'......"
Medici slurped her lips, and finally said to Klein:
"Look into it carefully, and if you really can't find the connection, you can come back to me. By the way, I've been busy playing hide-and-seek with Sauron in the Intis Empire lately, and I haven't gathered any intelligence on these extraordinary events. ”
After saying that, he also patted Klein on the shoulder:
"Think before you do it, there's a lot of knowledge that you don't have access to right now. I can only tell you so much, when the time comes, you can pray directly to the Lord when you encounter something beyond your power, and the Lord will help you. ”
"As for Amon's affairs - you don't need to worry too much about the Lord's rebel now, I'll be staying in Beckland recently to find an opportunity to kill a group of the clones left behind by the little crow cubs."
The Red Angel Evil Spirit, who had returned to the second level of the sequence, grinned and said quite confidently.
Crane smiled wryly and nodded, and walked out of Medici's room again.
After the film, he used the ability of "Secret Couple Swap" to swap places between himself and Dawn Dantès's secret puppet, and disguised himself as Dawn Dantès himself.
And where he was where he was, he put another one with Gelman Sparrow there, pretending that this was his own body, and trying to see if he could fish.
After a moment, the red angel looked at Klein, who was praying, nodded, and smacked his lips:
"The Lord asked me to take care of him...... Hey, aren't you stupid, although you're a relative of other gods, but you're pretending to be quite pious......"
"But why did the Lord let me take the child again......"
……
There were no more surprises at Dwayne Dantès' dinner, except for a few pirates who had been hunting late and returning early in the past few days, and had filled the number of blood sacrifices for the previously summoned Armor Shadows to solve their worries, and there were no extra Amon who came to the door.
And during this period of time, Beckland also seemed unusually calm, which made Klein can't help but have some strange speculations. For example, whether this is the calm before the storm, whether there is some undercurrent in it.
And he also went deep into the sewers that he had previously investigated with divination many times, but fortunately, Klein did not meet Amon again many times, which also made Klein feel a lot more relieved.
However, what he had obtained in his dream was exactly what he had obtained in reality, and in order to prevent himself from continuing to go deeper into the iron-black skeleton that seemed to be in a state of recovery that had awakened underground, Crane only stayed away from the sewer that might have had a high sequence of effects when he saw blood stains on the walls.
If you confront the true God in the person of sequence four, then the fun will be great.
The only thing that surprised Klein was that during this period of time, the royal family frequently increased the number of troops in the homeland, and it seemed that they were preparing for war. Some of the anti-war aristocrats were now silent, just waiting for the war to begin.
Although the three major churches called for opposition to the war among the people, with the exception of the Church of the Creator, which established various charitable guilds, the Church of the Night and the Church of the Storm all vaguely acquiesced in the royal conscription and did not put pressure on the royal family.
It also made Klein understand that maybe the war was really coming. The temptations of the Fersak Empire have appeared several times in Beckland, and the Rune military has repeatedly announced the capture of the Vorsack Empire's spies.
In the southern continent, the belief in the "Grim Reaper" is flourishing, while the number of adherents of the local belief in the Black Night Church is declining. It is precisely because of this that the Church of the God of War has gradually become restless.
And with the gradual development of time, the summer of the Rune Empire gradually arrived, the climate gradually became warmer, and soon, June arrived.
Daun Dantès looked at the gilded invitation sent to him by the servant, smiled slightly, and said elegantly to the servant in front of him:
"Tell Earl Hall that I am deeply honored to be invited to Miss Hall's coming-of-age banquet."
Today is a day outside, just finished the word...... I'm sorry that the update was late.
Tomorrow will probably be updated in the evening
