Chapter 40: Tripartite Preparations

As the familiar crimson glow dissipated, Forth returned to his bedroom in his home in the Jowood district.

She first closed her eyes and carefully remembered the main points of the "meeting" just now, and while the spiritual wall was still there, she sacrificed the "Lemanor's Travel Notes" and one of the "Spirit Traveling Stones" that saved her several times, and only two "Spirit Stones" were left to Mr. Fool - the latter came from the bracelet of the widow of a member of the Abraham family, and the stones on each bracelet could be used for a "trip".

After doing all this, Foirth tiptoed to the bedroom door, opened the door and looked into the living room, and sure enough, he found that Hugh Dilcha had returned to the house, rummaging for something in the cabinet behind the sofa, and she had bent down slightly below the back of the sofa, and no one would have noticed it if it had not been for the occasional mess of blond hair peeking out from above.

"Well, you're awake?"

Hearing the movement, Hugh's head appeared from behind the couch and asked suspiciously.

She wasn't particularly surprised to know that her friend, despite his erratic schedule, often slept with the bedroom door locked during the day, most often in the afternoon, especially on Mondays.

His tone was not as serious as that of the other night watchmen, but with a rare warmth, after all, the other high deacons theoretically only had to follow the orders of the templar, and even as the archbishop of the diocese, he could not command the other party.

"Yes, Your Excellency Archbishop, I have read the document in detail, so I have this doubt: Isn't the relevant disposition of the 'Aurora Society' handed over to the 'Red Glove' team? Why didn't Her Excellency 'Sword of the Goddess' Sesima handle it herself? ”

After the senior deacon left, the archbishop suddenly smiled as he looked at the dark emblem hanging on the wall.

Pierce, who was dressed in a black robe and couldn't tell that he was a demigod at all, shook the document bag in his hand and asked with a puzzled expression.

β€”β€”β€”β€”

This is a special book with only three pages that can record a trace of divinity, so it can store high-level extraordinary abilities!

With it, even without Angel's help, I have a good chance of solving "Mr. X" alone...... He pursed his lips, stopping himself from the idea of taking such a risk.

As the "Master of the Secret Puppet", hiding behind the scenes, plotting to solve two Sequence 5 Extraordinaires at once, this is a battle to prove my combat prowess, and likewise, a rehearsal of Ingwell's revenge!

Having made up his mind, Crane smiled slightly, raised the "Poseidon Scepter" in his hand, and at the same time poured spirituality into Lemanno's travel notes and scepter, making the notes light up with a hazy light, and making the gem on the top of the bone scepter burst out with silver-white lightning.

Moreover, in the battle involving many demigods outside Byam, Klein found that sometimes finding chaos and taking advantage of chaos is beneficial to an extraordinary person like him who is not too strong, if Mr. X has the protection of a demigod, he and Angel have a variety of ways to evacuate the scene, and it is not a problem to have one more "man in the mirror", and if the other party does not have a demigod, then the combat power on his side will become the strongest in the three parties, and he can eat both ends.

Thinking of this, he nodded in satisfaction, took the pen and paper, and drew on the paper the intricate symbols that summoned Arrodus's stealth and peep.

Furth retorted, a little weak-hearted, but quickly puffed up her chest, after all, she really made a lot of extra money from publishing the Great Adventurer series and the Great Pirate series, and even the food for the two of them had improved a lot recently, and even planned to find an opportunity to move out of Jowood and live in Hillston, which was more convenient for communication with publishers.

From the bottom of his heart, Klein, who likes to plan and then act, is not very receptive to this "three-way battle" plan, and from the time of Sequence 7 "Magician", he prefers prepared actions and will try to avoid uncontrollable factors.

The mirror reflects his face, with white sideburns and deep blue eyes.

With a change in the bed like a distortion of light, "Dawn Dantès", dressed in pajamas like him and with a vegetable face, appeared half-leaning on the bed, holding a popular book, his eyes slightly closed, as if he had fallen asleep.

β€”β€”β€”β€”

On the ground floor of St. Samuel's Church, in a spacious but dark room.

Therefore, verbal respect is still necessary, even if he is only ...... Anthony thought back to what Sword of the Goddess had told him, his expression unchanged, and paced behind his desk, a little further away from Pierce.

Moreover, there is another "half-god" joining this battle, and that "man in the mirror" may give priority to dealing with the Aurora Society, or he may directly treat Angel and Klein as enemies, making the situation chaotic.

Of course, after meeting the real protagonists of the two protagonists, Gelman Sparrow and Angelica Thatch, she temporarily decided to refuse the pen pal's request for publication, lest the main owner catch the clue and kill her own home, so that she could "seal the pen" in a physical sense.

Failed again...... The corners of Klein's mouth twitched, and the glimmer of confidence he had just born disappeared with the "lightning storm".

Hearing Anthony's answer, a trace of surprise flashed in Pierce's eyes, and he was silent for a moment, then nodded and said:

"Also, unless you solve him directly in the dream realm, give the 'Traveler' a little time to react, and he will inevitably leave directly through the spirit realm, which is difficult to track...... This Friday night, I'm going to destroy this Aurora Society' meeting place. ”

He smiled flatteringly, and his voice was extremely soft:

"It should have been handed over to Cessima, and he rushed to Beckland specifically for this matter, but Constance of Makai County didn't deal with the 'Demon Serial Killing' incident last time, and he needed to rush over there to assist the local night watchman team to solve the problem, so he left by steam train early this morning."

Cowering and hesitating are not in line with his performance in front of Angel, let alone the identity of a "fool".

There were so many thoughts in his head that Falss did not come to his senses until Hugh came to stand still in front of her, and poked her waist suspiciously, and pursed his lips, drove countless gold pounds out of his mind, and said:

Although in practice, Beckland's senior deacon on duty will obey his orders and show a superior-subordinate relationship, this is only a tacit understanding among everyone, not a necessity.

As the Aurora Society's divine envoy, Mr. X dares to directly disclose his identity in Beckland, and if he shows his face, there must be other Aurora Society members behind him, even if the "Mercury Serpent" Ulorius no longer pays attention to Beckland, the Aurora Society should also have other Sequence 5, and there may even be a Sage hiding here, and the help of his own demigods is necessary.

For a Sequence 7 Extraordinaire to have such a powerful magical item, it seems that the energy of the Abraham family is much greater than I imagined...... Crane sighed, looking at the three most peculiar pages of burnt yellow paper in the notebook.

"Your Excellency Cessima's such a busy man," Pierce agreed, teasing, "This 'Mr. X' only has Sequence 5, and a normal Red Glove squad carrying seals should be able to handle it. ”

Above the gray mist, "Fool" Klein looked at the palm-sized "Lemano's Travel Notes" in front of him, with a patina cover, almost the same color as the bronze long table of the Tarot Society, and couldn't help but feel a little emotion in his heart.

It has 25 pages of plain paper capable of recording abilities below Sequence 6, and 10 pages of parchment capable of recording Sequence 5 or Sequence 6 abilities, each of which can record an independent extraordinary ability, and when used, it only needs to turn to that page and infuse a little spirituality to perform the corresponding extraordinary ability with about eighty percent of the effect.

Anthony replied slowly, with a look of emotion on his face, as if he felt that the senior deacon was a little too busy.

Sure enough, it was the ...... Anthony nodded softly and agreed with Pierce's plan.

On Friday evening, Crane, who had pretended to be sick in advance, had a light dinner and asked the servant not to disturb him tonight, and then returned to his bedroom with a miserable face, which was not difficult under the Faceling's control of his expression.

"Pierce, you should have gotten the documents handed to you by the Red Glove before you came, tell me what you think."

"I'm not afraid that the 'Red Glove' won't be able to defeat this Aurora Divine Emissary, but I'm worried that Mr. X will flee from Beckland as soon as he sees the situation, he is a 'traveler'."

St. Anthony Stevenson, Archbishop of the Diocese of Beckland, was standing at his desk with a solemn expression, looking at the senior deacon in front of him, Pierce Turner, who was of the same rank as him in the church.

"I didn't sleep, I was just now, well, in review, you know, I've been making a lot of money from publishing as an agent recently."

However, with a 20% profit, I can earn hundreds, if not a thousand, pounds per publication based on the previous best-selling level...... Well, just sell the rights to the "Sick Admiral" and let him find someone else to do this dangerous thing, or just publish it in Intis, so that the "world" and "queen" of Rune will never find out......

Of course, the pages of a book that have been used once will be blank again, so that they can be written and used next time.

Compared to his "Wriggling Hunger" and Angel's "Rose Necklace", this notebook, derived from the extraordinary properties of the apprenticeship path "Recorder", is undoubtedly more widely used.

"Lightning Storm"!

Above the gray mist, silver-white lightning appeared out of thin air, like a giant beast with teeth and claws, filling the majestic palace interior.

"Hugh, there's something I want to discuss with you," she said, looking at her friend's somewhat fat face, "I want to ...... you this Friday night."

This is equivalent to giving users the right to use extraordinary abilities in 35 different ways, although the effect is poor, but the quantity can completely make up for the quality, and Klein immediately came up with several ways to solve the extraordinary people of the same sequence without using his own ability, and the success rate is not low.

Trying to touch his alter self, Klein was surprised to find that the "mirror double" actually felt no different from a real person, and it seemed that even extraordinary people would be deceived by this double if they didn't attack directly or use an ability similar to the "Spirit Thread" to observe.

After waiting for a while, "Dawn Dantès" with his eyes closed on the bed suddenly woke up, and his eyes immediately locked on Klein, who was sitting at the table, with the corners of his mouth upturned and his facial features squeezed together.

But the next moment, with a "poof", the pattern on the surface of the paper disintegrated, and a small lightning bolt burst out, dissipating together with the storm overhead, and returned to calm.

"Support team...... Pierce subconsciously wanted to refuse, but his expression moved, and he nodded again, "I'll bring a team of night watchmen, they can support from a distance, and as for the seal, I'll bring '1-63' and give it to the support team to use." ”

Seeing that he had finally "opened his mind", Archbishop Anthony nodded with satisfaction:

"If you need support from other squads, you can directly communicate with the night watchman on duty or the Red Glove Captain, and if you bring other squads, your authority allows you to use a 'Level 1' seal, and be sure to dispose of 'Mr. X'."

At the same time, on the scorched paper inside the note, complex runes appeared alternately, fused and formed, and were about to cover the entire page.

Then, he took out a portable vanity mirror that Angel had prepared, placed it next to his pillow, and leaned against the door.

β€”β€”β€”β€”

"Great master, your faithful, lowly servant Arodes is at your disposal!"

I really want to get rid of it right away...... Crane covered his face wordlessly, not wanting to look at this licking dog with the same appearance as him for a second.
