Because they had arrived early, Melissa and Benson were able to choose a decent location, and they could see directly that there was a strange thing on the gray and white stone pillar in the center of the square, one large and the other small, painted with dark blue oil paint, connected by some kind of cable.

Underneath this thing, guarded by a group of soldiers in red shirts and white trousers, carrying gray metal backpacks and rifles of a complex structure and a large caliber, watched the four directions very vigilantly.

With the inflow of citizens one after another, the square is crowded with people and becomes more and more lively.

At nine o'clock, the strange thing on the stone pillar suddenly made a rustling noise, which finally turned into a deep voice:

"Ladies and gentlemen, I am your Emperor, George Augustus III, ruler of the islands of Rune, East Byrand, and Rorsted. ”

...... Can that thing speak? Is it based on the principle of the telegraph? Melissa's eyes widened suddenly, and her attention instantly shifted from the content of the speech to the strange thing.

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

"Ladies and gentlemen, I am your Emperor, George Augustus III, ruler of the islands of Rune, East Byrand, and Rorsted. ”

In the Remembrance Square in the West End, Audrey stood near the high platform with her father, mother and brother, looking at the king in his gown and listening to his speech.

Because she knew in advance which direction George III would focus on today and what kind of atmosphere it would create, Audrey did not wear her favorite clothes that were girly in color and style, but like Countess Caitlin, the skirt was simple and conservative, the color was pure black, and she did not wear a single jewelry.

“...... It is my pleasure and heavy weight to say that we have finally stopped the first phase of the Fusaks' attack, thwarting their plan to destroy Rune in three months......

“...... However, there are too many outstanding young people who have died on the front line, died in this war, they should have a better future, they should have accompanied their parents to grow old, they should have matured with their spouses, and their children have grown up little by little in a loving environment and had a good childhood......

“...... The Fersaks destroyed it all......"

Audrey, who knew why the war was waged, was not instigated by the king's speech, but felt that he must have a talent for drama.

She heard small sobs in the crowd around her, and felt the sadness emerging, converging, and brewing bit by bit.

This made her eyes reddened uncontrollably.

The king's speech was false, but the grief of the people was real enough, especially since Audrey had seen many relatives of the fallen in battle, helping poor people who had lost their children, husbands, and fathers overnight.

This is the great resonance of emotions, and this is the best place to take the potion of the "manipulator...... Audrey suddenly realized, but she couldn't use it, because not only had she not finished digesting the "Dream Walker" potion, but she had not saved enough to contribute to Mr. "World".

She took a slow breath, controlled her mood swings, and looked away from King George III, allowing her thoughts to wander unrestrained:

"Mr. 'World' is very concerned about today's speech and does not know what to do with it......

"I hope it doesn't bring too many surprises......

"Is the thing called 'broadcasting' based on the principle of radio? Mr. 'World' mentioned that there are already forces on the seas that are using this technology...... Land is clearly better suited to similar products than storm-prone oceans......"

Just as Audrey was thinking, George III, with two mustaches and a stern and old-fashioned attitude, had finished the first paragraph of the description and said solemnly:

"Let us observe a moment of silence here for our heroes, ladies and gentlemen, and follow me in our hearts:

"In the name of Emperor George III, may the souls of the dead be at peace, and may they be eternal in the realm of their gods. ”

With an indescribable majesty, this sentence made all the listeners, including Audrey, involuntarily lower their heads, clasped their hands, and silently recited:

"In the name of Emperor George III ......"

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

On the other side of the "...... in the name of Emperor George III" Memorial Day Square, Crane, dressed in a black tweed coat and with an ordinary face, prayed at the same time as the people around him, behaving in no unusual manner.

During the three-minute silence, he watched George III's every move with the help of a bird puppet standing on the roof of a nearby building, trying to find signs that the king was about to quietly leave and enter the mausoleum to take a potion.

According to Klein's understanding, the section "in the name of Emperor George III" is the core of the entire "Black Emperor" ceremony, and if you want to take the potion, it will inevitably be at this time, or within two or three minutes after the silence ends, if you delay it a little longer, the effect will probably not be too good.

"Hey, George III is also in silence, and there is no superfluous movement...... "Crane waited patiently, holding back his impatience and doubts.

The silence that brought many people to tears gradually came to an end, and everyone opened their eyes one after another, and at this time, George III still did nothing, spoke again, and began to speak:

"We have passed the most difficult moment, we will surely defeat evil and brutality, this is the power of justice, this is the power of every soldier on the front line, this is the power of every worker in the factory......"

This ...... "0-08" arrangement did not succeed, George III just has no intention of becoming a god today, just to "fish" out the enemies who want to destroy the ceremony, anyway, he can make many similar speeches in the future? Klein's brows furrowed slightly, and one thought after another turned in his mind.

Suddenly, his face became a little solemn, and he thought of a possibility.

In an instant, Crane swapped places with Enyuni, a secret puppet hidden in the sewers, who was dressed the same as him and looked the same, and there was no difference from the outside.

Immediately afterward, Klein took four steps backwards into the gray mist, and with the help of the crimson star representing Miss "Justice", he observed the situation in the square with his "true vision".

- He has already sequenced 3, and he no longer needs to use the "Seagod Scepter" to expand the scope, of course, compared to the "Ancient Scholars", the "True Vision" field of "Aquaman" is obviously larger, but this time it is not necessary.

As soon as Klein's gaze fell on the high platform where King George III had spoken, his gaze froze, because there was no one there, or rather, only a false "phantom"!

That's the imaginary George III giving a speech!

Before the start of his speech, Klein had been wary of this problem, and made special observations, confirming that it was the real George III, who knows, in just a few minutes, without him knowing, the real George III became the imaginary George III.

In the process of silent mourning, he "distorted" with the ability of the "Black Emperor" path, and silently replaced himself with a stand-in? This, George III should have entered a secret mausoleum by now, was taking magic potions, and tried to be promoted! Crane thought for a moment, and hurriedly examined the situation in the surrounding area, and found that there was an abnormal, extremely majestic deep black power under the podium.

Klein immediately picked up the "Black Emperor" card on the surface of the bronze table and sensed it, using the law of extraordinary characteristics to confirm that the power belonged to the "Black Emperor" path and came from "Distortion".

It's really amazing, while "fishing" the enemy with speeches, while disguising himself with dummies, quietly leaving, taking potions...... It's almost too late...... Klein's spirit tightened, and he immediately returned to the real world, and in the sewers, chanted in the language of giants:

"The Holy Spirit chases knowledge;

"A beacon of the mystical world;

"Peeking into the eyes of fate;

"The king of the sea;

"Holy Bernadette Gustaf ......"

This is the honorific name of the "Mystic Queen", but it is a little different from normal Sequence 3, she is very limited, and it can also be used in Bakeland, in this regard, Klein suspects that the eldest daughter of Russell the Great has used a "0" level seal to achieve this effect.

This honorific name, which Bernadette rarely tells others, fears that some enemy will lock her position with the help of prayers and automatic responses before Sequence 2, which is very much in line with Crane's thoughts.

Klein made a pact with her that as soon as she recited the honorific name, she would choose a secret mausoleum at random, draw symbols with the blood distributed to her, and try to destroy it.

Neither he nor Bernadette expected this to succeed, because in the case of angels on the other side, the guards inside the mausoleum would definitely recite the names of those angels every once in a while, so that they could use the "prayer light" to watch the corresponding area remotely, and if they found something wrong, they would immediately rush to help.

Bernadette's role is mainly to attract attention!

Of course, if those angels come slowly, the "mysterious queen" can also change from a support to a main attack.

After doing this, Crane immediately reached out his right hand and grabbed it into the air.

As his arm pulled back, a figure appeared in front of him.

It was a lady with ordinary features, dark eyes, a simple robe, a bark belt, long black hair hanging down, no shoes and socks, and bare feet.

Abbot of the Night, Chief of the Ascetics, "Servant of the Secret", Angel of the Earth, Arianna.

It did it the first time...... Klein was startled, but he didn't think much about it, and hurried to say:

"Hide my existence and protect the people of Beckland. ”

He was worried that George III would rush out of the mausoleum and endanger the people of the metropolis after the ceremony was destroyed and he got out of control.

"Good. Arianna replied with a calm expression, not at all dull and stiff.

...... It can't be a real person, right...... Actually, my summoning was not successful, but the goddess had already asked Lady Arianna to quietly return to Bakeland, and as soon as she sensed that she was being summoned, she came over...... The angels of the hidden realm also have a certain degree of certainty about their own images in the pores of history?Crane found himself in a strange state in a flash, no longer sensed by the outside world.
