Chapter 136: Suddenly
160 Berlund Street, residence of Dawn Dantès.
After Klein came back from the detour to "teleport", without delay, he immediately set up the altar, held a ritual, and prayed to the "Grim Reaper":
"You are the essence of death;
"You are the sovereign of the dead;
"You are the final destination of all living beings.
"I pray for your help in knowing how to solve the problem of the evil spirit of the 'Red Angel', who possessed a 'janitor' and cooperated with Hetel, the High Priest of the Spirit Order, to come to Beckland and become Patrick Bryan's assistant......"
In this matter, Klein really had no choice but to ask the "Goddess of the Night" for help.
- Not to mention the question of whether he has the ability and opportunity to kill Sauron Einhorn Medici by cooperating with Arianna, the leader of the ascetics, even if he can, once the evil spirit of the "Red Angel" disappears, the high priest of the Artificial Death Sect of the Spirit Order will immediately understand that something is wrong here, so he can think of other anomalies and judge that the state of the artificial death god is not right, and then, using his own person, possible seals, and familiarity with this path, to do something destructive that no one can benefit.
And if the "Red Angel" is left alone, it will not take long for this "conspirator"-turned-evil spirit to detect Patrick Bryan's anomaly, and with the knowledge and intelligence he has, it is not difficult to guess the essence of the problem.
"No matter how you deal with this, you are making a mistake, it is worthy of being an angel in the realm of 'war', even if there is only a three-in-one spirit left, people can not find a way to solve the problem he created, this must be the idea he gave Hetel......
"Actually, there is an extreme idea, that is, to let this 'Red Angel' evil spirit be killed by other churches, official forces or secret organizations because of other things, in short, nothing related to the goddess can come forward, so that things must be clear and clear......
The difficulty with this idea is how to get a high-ranking person in the field of conspiracy to jump into the trap...... If this one is not handled well, the fire will burn on himself......" After the prayer, Klein spread his thoughts at will, while patiently waiting for the "Goddess of the Night" to give feedback.
After more than ten seconds, the embers of the herbs that pleased the gods were swept up by the invisible wind, flew out of the cauldron, and landed on the table, forming one word after another:
"When He comes, the earth will rise up with swords. β
What does that mean? Crane looked at the familiar sentence and frowned slightly.
As a "soothsayer", he habitually began to interpret:
Because of the king's problems, Rune was deeply involved in the shadow of war, so the "red angel" symbolizing war came.
This means that the war may no longer be able to be stopped.
- In sequence 1, it becomes a symbol in itself.
As Klein's thoughts swirled, the invisible wind subsided, and the interior of the altar, isolated by the "Spirit Wall", became extremely quiet.
Crane waited a little longer, confirmed that this was really all there was to it, and then ended the ritual and packed up the altar.
He then walked over to the couch area of the room and sat down to see if anything else was going on.
And after a full quarter of an hour, he did not see the abbot of the Night, the hidden angel of the head of the thirteen archbishops, Arianna.
There is no need to deal with the evil spirit of the "Red Angel", just leave it alone?Or, there is another way, but I don't need to get involved? Klein is not a devout believer in the night, since the goddess said not to care, then of course he is too lazy to care, anyway, this matter is not only extremely troublesome for him, but also very dangerous.
Shaking his head, Crane took out a pen and paper from his coat pocket and began to do "dream divination".
What happened tonight made him intuitively believe that time could not be delayed for a moment, and that the "Sorcerer" potion must be digested as soon as possible.
............
In the misty sea, inside a steam-sailed hybrid merchant ship that is very close to the pirate ship.
A man and an older woman were pushed to the edge of the deck with their hands tied behind their backs, and then the pirates let them fall out into the sea, either with their hands or feet.
The sound of puffs and puffs came and went, but the pirates were unaffected, laughing and completing the bloodless slaughter.
After clearing the intended prisoners, they gathered to the side of the ship with guns and lanterns, ready to admire the wretched struggle.
However, under the light, the deep blue sea beside the ship undulates quietly, and there is not a single human figure.
"Sinking so fast?" blurted out one of the pirates in surprise.
The leader of this pirate group frowned, looked at it for a while, and said:
"Maybe some sea monster is passing by, and those who dare to resist are food for the gods' gifts.
"That's right, this feeds it and won't attack us......"
Speaking of this, the leader waved his hand:
"Enjoy, everyone!"
As a fairly veteran pirate, he knows that there are many strange things on the sea, and in the face of them, it is best not to explore the reason, try to find out the truth, since it has not endangered himself and his companions, then thank the "Lord of the Storm" for the protection, when nothing has happened.
With their rotation determined, the pirates began to gulp down wine, eat large pieces of meat, sing loudly, and duel with their swords for dominance over the young female captives.
In the bustling atmosphere, the pirate leader took a beautiful passenger who had long taken a fancy to him, entered the room that originally belonged to the captain, and couldn't wait to start the last process of the carnival night.
In the middle of the night, the tired and sleeping pirate leader stretched out his right hand and touched something cold and without temperature.
The pirate leader awoke from his eyes, and by the crimson moonlight shining through the window, he saw a rough piece of wood in his arms.
Branches with green leaves grew from the wood, holding the pirate leader back like human hands and feet.
Syllable!
The pirate leader's pupils dilated, and as he pushed the wood away, he jumped out of bed and stumbled backwards.
Something like this I was talking to? His mind was full of frightened thoughts, and he didn't bother to get dressed, grabbed his gun and saber, and walked straight out of the room.
Outside the gate, there is a pirate guard on duty.
"Steal your ears, what's the ......?" the pirate asked in a loud voice when he saw the leader open the door and come out.
The pirate leader wanted to reprimand the other party for secretly drinking, so that he spoke slurredly, but when he looked up, he saw that in and around his mouth, there were golden grains of wheat growing one after another, and even the surface of the tongue was dense, all of them.
...... The pirate leader's scalp instantly tightened, and the tingling sensation went from top to bottom, meeting the coolness, and heading straight for the tail vertebrae.
At this moment, the door to the opposite room also opened, and a pirate cried out with a crying voice:
"Oh no! Boss, I, I've got a lot of mushrooms growing there!"
As he spoke, the pirate rushed out.
At the same time, he felt an itch in his eyes, so he raised his hand and rubbed his right eye.
He rubbed it, and a turquoise vine slowly grew between his sockets and eyeballs, and a dark red grape was on top of it.
Around the grapes, there was a blur of flesh and blood.
"......" The pirate leader froze a little as he saw his body, and asked in a voice that didn't belong to him, "You, what ......?"
The pirate, who was still rubbing his eyes and didn't think that there was a problem, didn't need to recall, and said directly:
"There's a stick shadow that whipped me!"
"Wo...... Ye You...... "The pirate with a golden wheat grain on the surface of his tongue echoed in response.
He was stopped by the leader, and he did not see the terrible appearance of his companions.
The pirate leader's legs began to shake uncontrollably, and instinctively turned around and ran out of the cabin.
It was then that he saw a long, stick-like shadow rushing from the side wall and pumping at himself.
The shadow flickered away, and soon disappeared like an unreal nightmare.
The pirate leader was a little slow before subconsciously raising his hand and trying to block, which of course had no effect.
Then, in a panicked and scrambling manner, he checked his state and found nothing out of the ordinary.
"It's okay, it's okay......" The pirate leader couldn't help but exhale.
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a slightly muffled voice:
"It's okay, it's okay......"
The voice seemed to come from within him!
The pirate leader's pupils dilated to the extreme, and his hands lifted his clothes uncontrollably.
He immediately saw three cracks open between his chest and abdomen, one large and two small.
Inside the large one, two rows of white teeth are neatly aligned, and in the center of the small one, there are two flexibly rolling eyes.
It's a mouth and two eyes!
The pirate leader has an extra mouth and two eyes in his chest and abdomen!
"No!"
A scream erupted on the ship, with an indescribable, intense fear.
Over the next quarter of an hour, some of the pirates went mad and slashed their companions, while others managed to escape back to their own ship, only to find that the people on it had also become deformed, and they jumped into the sea in despair.
By the time everything had subsided, only a dozen or so normal pirates were left slumped on the deck, hiding in their rooms, surrounded by a foul stench.
After a while, one passenger after another came out of the cabin, and no one was missing.
They looked at the scene in disbelief, thanking the gods, or standing there in confusion.
............
Early in the morning, Klein rolled over and got out of bed and began to wash.
As soon as he had changed his clothes with the help of his valet Enyuni, he saw Walter, the butler who had returned from leave, walk to the door and said:
"Sir, Bishop Elektra has come to visit. β
β...... Ask him to wait for me in the living room where he can enjoy his cigars. Crane was stunned for a moment and spoke.
He suspected that this was the goddess's belated response.
Walter immediately turned around and went downstairs to make arrangements, and it wasn't long before he came back and said:
"Sir, Bishop Elektra has taken his leave, and he has asked me to tell you that you must go to St. Samuel's Church this morning, and say that the Church and the Government are going to hold a joint air defense exercise. β
"Air defense drills?" Klein's brow furrowed slightly.
At that moment, he had a sudden inspiration, turned sharply, and looked out the window.
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!
Seeing this scene, Klein Huo Ran understood what he had ignored before:
The war does not have to be waged by the kingdom of Rune!
An ancient and secretive organization must have members of high status in other countries, otherwise it will not be able to affect the world situation!
