Mr. A, Mr. A of the Aurora Society, who had planned to slowly move to the door along the wall and the shadows, shrank back silently.

Ince Zangwill is supposed to be working with a faction of the royal family...... The forces that can excavate and hide such a large underground ruin near Beckland must be one of the dominant forces in the Kingdom of Rune......

The addition of Ince Zangwill and "0-08" can directly rule out the option of the Church of the Goddess, although the people of the Lord of the Storm are a little reckless and a little machismo, but they are not very good at cooperating with the Witch Sect, at least so far, there are no extraordinary people who are suspected of being "sailors...... By the same token, the Church of Steam and Mechanics is not very suspicious......

Aurora is also involved, and what are they trying to do?

Crane leaned his back against the corner, breathing slowly, thinking as he listened to the conversation coming from the center of the hall.

After a brief silence, a hoarse voice rang out:

"Alright. ”

The answer was so concise that Klein couldn't tell what they were planning.

The soft and melodious voice before chuckled and said:

"You don't seem to trust us yet?"

"Yes. Mr. A replied unceremoniously.

"Hehe, then I'll be honest about our purpose and why we asked you to cooperate. The soft female voice said without annoyance, "We have done something, leaving a certain trace, and we must do it accordingly before it is discovered by the Night, the Storm, the Steam Church and the military, and this requires your help, uh, it seems that you still don't really understand what I mean, so let me give you an example, hypothetically, suppose I committed a serious crime such as murder in a house, what is the best way to eliminate the evidence and clues?"

"No, it's our goal to let others see it. Mr. A said indifferently.

...... He is worthy of being a member of the Aurora Society...... It's all a bunch of crazy people...... Klein is tentatively certain that the man who spoke was Mr. A, who had killed Ambassador Intis.

“...... Let's say it's me, not you. "The soft female voice has a less pronounced ventilation sound.

After a second, Mr. A replied:

"Burn down that house and bury all the clues inside. ”

The soft female voice brought a smile:

"This is exactly what we think, I am in charge of 'arson', and you take this opportunity to expand the trend and create a passage or vessel for your Lord to come into the world.

"And the only price you pay is to bear all the notoriety and get the maximum hatred of the military and the three major churches, but I don't think you will mind. ”

"As long as we can welcome the return of the Lord, even if we are hated by all the forces, we will not have any fear. Mr. A's tone was no longer so aloof and detached.

Arson?Will the Aurora take the opportunity to complete the Advent Ritual of the True Creator?Is this the third time...... Why did I meet again...... This TM is a bad fate...... Klein couldn't help but burst into a foul language in Chinese in his heart.

At this moment, he is extremely curious and wary of the cooperation between a certain faction of the royal family and the witch sect and Ince Zangwill, which is so terrifying that he needs to use the advent of the "true creator" as a shield against arrows!

Perhaps, if they keep a secret hand, they will eventually destroy the ritual of the Aurora Society and destroy all forces except themselves...... Klein thought tense and calm.

"Looks like you don't have any doubts. The soft female voice chuckled, "This place is very hidden, and there is a corresponding arrangement, you can hold the ceremony with confidence, you don't have to worry about being disturbed before success, and the outside part, we have also prepared, very early, waiting for me to light the first 'flame', if you still have doubts, you can check again." ”

Just as Mr. A was speaking, Klein heard a clang, the sound of the door being opened.

"Who let you in? Didn't I tell you that no one should come near here?" said in a soft female voice, suppressing her anger.

"Desperate lady, there's an emergency! Someone has infiltrated the ground! I've been sent in to arrange the follow-up and close the corresponding passages. A male voice with a distinctly Beckland accent responded quickly.

The so-called "Lady of Despair" was silent for a few seconds, as if communicating with an unknown being, confirming the situation.

Finally, her voice and tone remained unchanged:

"Go in, don't come out again, don't let anyone out, wait for the follow-up notice. ”

"Yes, Lady Despair!" the man scurried and ran towards the stone gate on this side, and the background sound was a "clang".

From where Crane was hiding, he could see the stone door leading to the back area more clearly, and he waited for seven or eight seconds before a figure of ordinary height, neither fat nor thin, appeared there.

Call...... The man gasped, stretched out his hands, and grinned as he pushed open the heavy stone door.

At this moment, Klein has completely taken his appearance and characteristics into his sight, without missing the slightest, which is exactly the extraordinary ability attached to the "Faceling"!

The man had brown and red skin, had obvious Southern Continent blood, and his facial features were featureless, making it difficult to remember.

Because of the grinning of his teeth, some of his teeth were exposed, and the third one in the upper left was shining gold, which was a denture.

This...... Crane, who had the spiritual intuition of a soothsayer, frowned, feeling inexplicably familiar.

Soon, using his skills, he recalled the source of the familiarity:

The "Hanged Man" had asked the Tarot Society to find a man with a brownish complexion, missing a third tooth on his left side, and a thick Beckland accent.

The man's name is Barron, and he has been implicated in the escape and disappearance of slaves from many colonial islands!

And at this moment, the man in front of Klein is almost the same as the Barron described by the "Hanged Man"!

"Slaves from the colonized islands are missing......

"Many tribes in the southern continent have evaporated out of thin air......

"Barron showed up here......

"Kapin, who controls a large share of the underground slave trade, is protected by four Extraordinary Beings who are suspected of being 'arbiters', the strongest of which are Sequence 6 and even Sequence 5......

"Kapin insisted that the target of the kidnapping was a relatively innocent girl......

"The passage of the Grain Act, the improvement of the textile machine, caused a lot of unemployment......

"Many female textile workers got new jobs and quietly left the Eastern District, leaving no clues......"

The scattered dots instantly strung together into a line in Klein's mind, pointing to the depths of the earth!

What are they doing, with such a large population, and so many pure maidens?Ritual?A ritual that is so terrifying that it must be carried out in secrecy and takes a long time?Crane's pupils constricted.

Chirping...... Bang! The stone door closed, and Barron disappeared from his sight.

The hall was silent for a few seconds, and Mr. A's hoarse voice sounded again:

"I smell the unexpected, let's go, before it arrives. ”

Lady of Despair responds in a low voice:

"That's exactly what I thought.

"But I need you to send me to the East End. ”

Klein had another bad feeling.

"No problem. Mr. A replied with a lack of emotion.

Wearing a hood, a transparent and blurry book quickly appeared in front of him, accompanied by a distant and ethereal chant:

"I came, I saw, I recorded. ”

The book flipped quickly, froze on one of the pages, and immediately bloomed with a light blue and illusory light.

The light enveloped the desperate lady in her pure white robe, making her figure blur at first and then invisible.

In an instant, the Lady of Despair saw countless transparent shadows of indescribable shapes, and found that there was a clear light like infinite knowledge hidden at the highest point.

Her body was dragged forward by a strange force, shuttling quickly, and it didn't take long for her to leave the place and come to the corner of a secluded, dirty, disgusting alley.

She pulled down her veil to cover her face, and looked up into the air, only to see that the afternoon sun was heavily obscured by clouds and mist, and turned pale and dim.

The yellowish mist was not particularly thick, and it floated everywhere in Bakeland, with a slightly choking smell, cold and wet.

It's a pity that we didn't wait for the smog to be at its worst and still...... The accident that happened to Triss, the sudden and brief loss of control of "0-08", the appearance of Azik, and the previous destruction of the "Black Emperor" made things bigger and bigger, and became noticeable, and the action could only be advanced to today...... The Desperate Lady looked around, walked out of the alley, and into the street.

Her steps were slow, as if she were wandering in a sea of mist.

Where she passed, the fog was imperceptibly thickened, dyed with a slight iron-black color, and the visible distance was quietly reduced.

As soon as she left the street, a sallow homeless man in an old jacket suddenly coughed so violently that he fell to the ground.

The two paupers, who were close to the homeless, retreated in horror, and immediately clutched their throats and made a hoho-ho-ho sound, as if they had a serious lung disease or bronchitis and were out of breath.

The smog of iron black and pale yellow descended on the eastern district, on the docklands, on the factory area where the smoke was belching, and continued to spread throughout Beckland.

The various scenes in the distance were "drowned", even the towering bell tower was only a pale shadow, and one after another the workers and the poor people had a feeling of discomfort, and the homeless man who struggled to fight the cold and the sleepiness of the route around the lady, one by one fell ill and collapsed, and human life was as fragile as the foam of the pulp washing clothes.

The Lady of Despair has a calm and soft expression, as if she is completing a work of art.

She walked among the passers-by without abnormality, the corners of her mouth hooked slightly, and she laughed in a low voice:

"The history of the Kingdom of Rune will remember this day:

"The Great Bakerland Smog Incident. ”

............

The dark valley has been completely covered by the dark and illusory water, but the writing of "0-08" has not stopped.

It frantically orchestrates absurd, ridiculous, and terrifying stories wherever it can put pen to paper:

“...... The drop of his trousers didn't affect Ince Zangwill's performance, as he was wearing a robe, and he probably expected a similar accident......

"The 'Law Mage' stunned Azik Issinger in place, temporarily depriving him of two powerful extraordinary abilities, which are truly good helpers, but the overlapping doors of the spirit and the underworld are attracted by the characteristics of Azik and knocked on by the power of their battle, and unforeseen changes have taken place.

"At this time, an unknown being was attracted to pass by, and he took advantage of it to reach out to the real world, and oh! He caught Ince Zangwill!"

In the middle of the air, Ince Zangwill, who was dressed in the black robe of a clergyman, suddenly poked out two blood-yellow arms covered with wriggling rotten flesh!

They grabbed Ince Zangwill's shoulders and dragged him into the void, into the spirit realm.
