Chapter 15: Bonova

It is likely that Trier's current change is due to a subset of the Steam-believing people in the Steam-believing Church, as if the distrusted people in the Church of Mother Earth God pushed Trier's administrative plan to the point where it is now without the 'God of Steam and Machines' responding to the oracle.

But in reality, Klein didn't bring Audrey to the restaurant for the main reason: he could hear everyone in the city, and he had sprinkled his doppelganger all over the city-state when he came to it. But Audrey still needs some opportunities to practice after all, and the opinions put forward as a "spectator" can also make up for some of Klein's own blind spots.

After all, he's just a human after all - and despite his authority, Crane isn't omniscient.

In Klein's view, both the "Wilderness of Knowledge" and the "High-Dimensional Overlooker" can corrupt the devout disciples of the steam. But now Klein is not nervous about this, but how to pay next.

Truth be told, Klein has many ways to solve this matter, but it's a bit embarrassing to ask anyone to borrow money...... When Miss "Justice" shyly opened her mouth to say this, Klein felt that he had died socially.

He was silent for a moment, then reached into the inside of his coat.

It seemed to be taking the money out of his pocket, but in fact he reached into a space connected to the small vault of Gelman's doppelganger - he gracefully handed it to the waiter who had been waiting for a long time, and he didn't ask for change because of his identity and face, but his heart was still bleeding.

"Let's go, go to church." Crane said to Audrey in a low, magnetic voice, and helped Miss Justice up from her chair in a gentlemanly manner.

I have to suffer Mr. Gelman a little longer...... Crane suddenly felt a little weak and apologized a little for his doppelganger.

The waiter on the side also breathed a sigh of relief, he originally thought that these two Rune people who had eaten without saying a word and had not asked for any service, and had not said a word to the waiter, wanted to escape the order. Moreover, when he saw the Rune gentleman standing up and wanting to leave, the waiter's heart was in his throat.

But now it seems to be fine, this gentleman of Rune is very generous - I guess there is something on his mind, right? The waiter thought with a little gossip in his heart, and with the tip in his hand, his face couldn't stop blooming.

Of course, on the other hand, Gelman's face suddenly collapsed when he watched himself finally rob from the pirates in the furious sea, ah, no, a small part of the cash seized after the justice of the pirates disappeared.

Just before the captain of the passenger ship he rescued thought that the pirate king in front of him wanted to kill them and get rid of the goods, Gelman snorted coldly and disappeared in place.

……

After enjoying a meal, Crane walked outside with Audrey beside him, and he looked as usual at the moment, without the slightest embarrassment. Audrey didn't mention what had just happened, but she felt that Mr. "World" would also make a mistake in this kind of thing - in her mind, the image of Mr. "World" had undergone a slight transformation.

Crane couldn't help but glance at Audrey, and the intuition of the mythical creature told him that Audrey on the side was thinking something that was not very polite.

Finding the "world" around her looking at her, Audrey cleared her throat, and after considering the language for a while, she opened her mouth to ask Mr. "World" beside her:

"Mr. 'World', shall we go directly to the Steam Church now? But, well, I don't have the experience of praying to the god of steam and machines. ”

Audrey was a little worried about whether she would make a mistake.

"It doesn't need to be too much trouble." Klein said casually, "You just need to remember the gesture of outlining the triangular emblem in front of you: when you are now a rich man, as long as you put in enough money, the church personnel will be friendly to you - wandering merchants tend to be less convinced of their beliefs, but they are willing to learn when they are stable." ”

Hello skilled, I really doubt your faith...... Audrey's expression suddenly took on a little complicated.

But she still nodded: "I know, but ......"

How can I tell me that I don't have any money? When Audrey was struggling, she saw the "world" on one side hand her a wallet that looked like it was sewn with leather:

"I was negligent before, and this is a 'space bag'."

"The activity funds given to me by Mr. 'Fool' are connected to this space bag, and now I have become Mr. 'Fool''s dependent, so I should also have the authority to use Mr. 'Fool''s family funds."

Although a large part of this money comes from you...... Klein silently added in his heart.

Audrey was stunned for a moment: "Ah...... Okay, I'll keep it well. ”

Crane put away the umbrella in his hand, and next to him, many men and women dressed in different clothes walked into Trier's "Steam Church" with props to protect him from the rain.

As if he had practiced it a thousand times, Crane walked to the wooden bench made for the people who came to pray next to him, and gently rested the umbrella on the edge of the armrest beside the chair.

He drew a triangular steam emblem on his chest. Then he clenched his hands into fists and placed his two thumbs in the center of his forehead. He began to pray to the god of steam and machines - just in the form of a prayer, of course.

Audrey, on the other hand, didn't react at first, but she made a change in time before a little star appeared on his chest, and she followed Klein's example and began to pray "devoutly".

In the midst of listening to the bishop of the Steam Church speak the doctrine, Audrey suddenly felt a voice in her ear urging her to open her eyes. When she opened her eyes, she saw that an illusion had been left in the same place, and more appropriately, there was a doppelganger in the same place that looked like her and the "world" around her.

"Let's go."

Crane walked forward step by step, the emblem of the night on his chest radiating a little dark red light - after the night goddess fell into a deep sleep, the light of the night goddess became dim, it was a change of nature.

On Klein's body, this badge is a badge made by the goddess of the night herself and blessed by herself. This badge has a hidden power on it, not much, but it is high enough.

In the midst of the spiritual convergence of the Church of the Gods, this badge is naturally inspired—the Church is strictly the realm of a true God, and in such a case, the secrecy of the badge can even hide the gaze of the true God.

Because in essence, the current "Goddess of the Night" has reached the level of "secret" that she holds, regardless of whether she can be successfully promoted or not.

However, the power contained in this badge is not destined to be too much—but now the power of this badge has not been really depleted.

Because now in Klein's hand he holds a scepter inlaid with a "gem". The main body of the scepter shimmered with nine colors of light, and the light of these nine colors was mated together in different shapes, giving the illusion of darkness.

At the top of the scepter, the color of the "gem" resembles the deep waters of the water, and it does not appear to have any other color or light. But when you shake it, you will see some hidden runes emerge from it, and now these hidden runes appear on the surface of the gem, emitting a faint shimmer.

This is the characteristic of the "secret waiter" that Klein has stripped out!

With the help of this seal, both Crane and Audrey were covered with a faint layer of darkness, which was the "Secret Realm", the prototype of the Kingdom of God.

And in the dark color, there was a little mist, and these gray-white mist solidified in the air, forming the prototype of a fortress - Klein concealed the aura of the "Source Fort" very well, and did not let the power of the essentia leak out.

After initially fusing with the "Lord of Mystery" and suppressing the will of Tianzun, Crane was already able to take the initiative to use the Source Castle, and it would not cause the further awakening of Tianzun's will without exceeding a certain limit.

Of course, it is precisely because of this, now Klein's use of the will of the Heavenly Venerable is still quite limited, and he can only use the Source Fort to strengthen some abilities linked to the person, such as the "Mysterious Realm" that he is using now, which can be used as a "secret" under the strengthening of the Source Fort, and can even temporarily block the sight of the true god.

But even with this ability to conceal, Klein had to find what he was looking for in a short period of time. Just as Amon never dared to let his own body come to Baekland, the aura of "secret" would attract the attention of the gods of steam and machinery after appearing for a long time, and Klein would be exposed in the direct collision of the power of the true gods.

Although the god of steam and machines is not in good shape, it can also lead to unexpected things happening, which Crane does not want to see.

Audrey turned her head and looked at Klein silently, and Klein's voice appeared in Audrey's heart at the same time:

"We went to the Steam Church to investigate directly - I left two clones outside to listen to the hearts of the believers, and with the confirmation of the two, we were able to investigate a conclusion that was relatively closer to the truth."

I've also "recorded" the audience's abilities...... Crane laughed, "Now that the gods of steam and machines can't descend, the power I can wield is stronger than any angel in this church, so you don't need to worry." ”

As the King of Angels, especially the King of Angels in the "Gate" pathway, Crane is best at sliding doors and picking locks, but Crane didn't focus on the place where the Steam Church sealed magical items this time - he wanted to investigate something related to Trier's infrastructure.

After a period of "rummaging through the cabinets", Klein finally found what he was looking for, and he skimmed through the precious collection and turned to the materials stacked in his office:

If it is true that according to what they have just heard in the cafeteria, the administrative plan of Trier is driven by the believers of the God of Steam and Machines, then there is a high probability that there is an investigation of the Steam Church, and even the construction plan of the Steam Church!

Crane didn't even have to close his eyes to enter the dream, and as far as he could see, he directly got the result of the divination he wanted.

Audrey on the side also analyzed it and came to a similar conclusion to Klein.

Scenes appeared in front of Crane, Crane took a deep breath, calmly reached out and pressed his hand on one of the stacks of materials, and suddenly a new paper appeared between Crane's fingers. He made direct copies of these papers, which did not have extraordinary powers, so that no one could see the traces of human beings.

Crane's spiritual premonition grew stronger, and he felt that something in the astral plane was watching him. This state of being is decaying and weak, but it still has the essence of a true God.

God of Steam and Machinery...... He has found me! His name came to Crane's mind the next moment—spiritually, and Crane turned his head to look in the direction he had come.

He took two steps forward and pulled out the bottom cabinet next to it, in which a silver mirror was placed.

Mirror of Arodes......

Klein grabbed the mirror in his hand, and his other hand lightly touched the documents he had just copied. The files were compressed and flattened as thin as a piece of paper.

Klein rolled up the compressed file and stuffed it in his pocket. Holding Audrey's shoulder with his free hand, the two of them suddenly disappeared into the real world and entered the spirit world.

Considering that the astral plane is the abode of the gods, Klein still did not "roam" directly. The god of steam and machine apparently watched him, but did not punish himself as an "intruder...... Then it's worth playing.

However, out of respect for the true God, Crane "traveled" through the spirit world and did nothing superfluous.

At the last moment of disappearance, Crane saw a tall and handsome young man with long chestnut hair, blue eyes, and a handsome face emerge next to the cabinet that he had opened. He looks like Russell, but is younger and more handsome.

His expression was calm, and there seemed to be no emotion in his eyes, except for a slight nod of his head in Klein's acknowledgment.

To Klein's surprise, his long, chestnut hair was tied up.

At the end of his hair was a small black iron crown, which was tightly tied to his hair like a decorative hair rope, making it look extremely cute.
