Start with the Readers Chapter 631: Calculations behind the scenes
On Thursday afternoon, Abner finally returned to the urban area by car.
This is not because he chatted with Edwina for too long and almost missed the time, but because he placed the location of the "Teleportation Altar" in a small town around Backlund. It took me half a day to drive back by car.
——Because the "Apostle of Desire" incident made all the official organizations alert, Abner didn't dare to use the "cloak" to directly fly into the city of Backlund.
As soon as Abner stepped off the carriage, he heard the sound of whirring.
He raised his head subconsciously, only to see that the darkness in the mid-air was blown away by the strong wind, and the light yellow thin mist was swept away.
The branches without leaves swayed, and the strong wind dragged out an obvious trace, heading straight to the southeast.
After a few seconds, everything returned to normal, calm as before.
This is not a normal wind... It is mixed with the familiar "gale wind" power... Is it the "Singer of God" Snake who went to chase Jason Beria in the disguise of a witch?
My current location is not far from the pier, and I have chased here... That means that the assassination of Duke Negan should have started or is about to start...
I hope I can make it in time... If Klein fails to kill him in time like in the original book, I will make up for it... In case that demon really escapes and poses a threat to the teacher in the future...
With a plan in mind, Abner rushed to the nearest subway station.
If you dare not "fly", taking a "steam subway" is much faster than running in a "stealth".
…
Inside the carriage outside the Cragg Club.
In the name of "reasoning", Klein informed the deacon of the "Mechanical Heart" Ikanser about the "Apostle of Desire" that he had divined above the gray fog.
However, he still concealed the information that the devil's target might be Duke Negan...
After all, this kind of thing is difficult to explain by "reasoning", if he hadn't heard Mr. "Tower" talk about the organization that cannot be named at the Tarot meeting, using "Abyss Cards" to lure members of "Blood Worship" As for the plan to assassinate the Duke, he couldn't think of it at all.
"Do you think we might be misled?" Ikanser didn't sneer, disdain or belittle him, but discussed the issue with him seriously.
After all, his "proud", "complacent", and "prejudice" tempers have long been smoothed out by Arrods' problems...
Ikanser pondered for a while, his expression became serious, his gaze first looked at the silver mirror in his palm, and then he looked away instantly, then turned his head and said to the team members beside him, "Continue to secretly protect Mr. Moriarty , I will go to the 'Nighthawks'..."
After all, asking Arrods directly here is likely to be sensed by the demons, and he needs to rely on the power of the '1' level sealed item that looks like the armor of the Nighthawk.
"Yes, Deacon!" The two "Mechanical Heart" members replied without hesitation.
Ikanser left immediately and rushed to where the Nighthawks were.
The "Singer of God" has been activated, and the sealed artifact of the Church of the Goddess has also been dispatched... If the "Apostle of Desire" really wants to take action, it must be at this moment!
I hope that the official Extraordinary can catch up in time, and I hope that Arrodes can give the correct answer... But in this way, I will have no chance to mix, and I will not be able to see the death of the demon that endangered everyone with my own eyes, and I will not be able to contact it His suitcase full of banknotes, gold bars, coins and jewellery...
Klein sighed and looked at Ikanser's back.
As for the fact that he didn't get the chance to act, he wasn't in a hurry. He took advantage of the "performance" he performed in front of Mr. A, in front of a group of substitutes, and in front of the saints of the Steam Church when he cracked the "Abyss of Flesh" last time. And "Curtain Call", most of his "Magician" potion has already been digested, and the rest has also been digested in the sporadic performances in the past month...
If the materials are complete, Klein can immediately become a "faceless man".
So, he quickly regained his mood:
That's fine, at least I don't need to take risks, and I can safely get rid of this crisis. I will get the "Thousand-Faced Hunter's Brain Mutation Pituitary and Blood" from Emlyn tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and add Sharon promised to bring the "human-skinned shadow characteristics" on Sunday... Maybe I can advance to Sequence 6 before the next Tarot meeting!
This can also effectively alleviate the problem of the shortened meeting time of the Tarot Club after Mr. "Tower"'s "vacation".
The only pity is that there is no chance to get the suitcase of the "Apostle of Desire", which contains all his savings as a banker, gold, jewelry, and banknotes worth at least 50,000 gold pounds...
Mrs. Mary of the Air Pollution Investigation Committee, counting the value of Coim's shares, is at most such a net worth!
While thinking about it, Klein also returned to the lounge of the Craig Club. After locking the door, the pale and exquisite Miss Sharron suddenly walked out of a mirror. She was silent for a few seconds, speaking succinctly. : "Need me to get my suitcase?"
Are you thinking about it too? That's right, Ms. Temperance, you and Mr. Fool are very consistent in your thinking, you are a good seed of "Faithful One"! Klein complained in his heart, but on the surface he shook his head and said:
"There must be a Level 1 Sealed Artifact there, or even a demigod present, it's too dangerous... just forget it."
"Very sensible, and knows how to be 'restraint'!" Miss Sharron praised in a ethereal voice, and then disappeared.
Is this reminding me not to be swayed by greedy emotions, lest I be used by the "Apostle of Desire"?
Klein glanced thoughtfully at the mirror at hand, and defended himself in his heart:
Actually, I'm not that greedy. After all, "Mechanical Heart" will definitely not treat me badly. If it really succeeds, my views and suggestions must be in a very important position...
And I am a believer in the God of Steam and Machinery. According to the style of several major churches, I should be given a share of the harvest... On the premise of 50,000 pounds, it will not be too little... ...
... Valley
Jorwood District, a luxurious villa-type house not far from the Holy Wind Cathedral, and it is also the residence of Miss Aisha, who Klein accepted the investigation commissioned by the fake Baron Larry.
Pallas Negan, with a bloated waist and gray eyes, hugged his mistress on the bed. It was a beautiful girl with a bit of innocence on her face. Miss Aisha, who just turned 20 a few days ago .
And she is the Duke's favorite woman in the past three years.
After eating the mummy potion bought from a pharmacist, Duke Negan seems to have regained the feeling of riding horses, driving hounds, and chasing wild animals in the vast land with his father and elders when he was young.
But at this moment, that kind of joy and comfort exploded suddenly, continuously, without limit and without end, again and again, which made his heart unbearable and suffered a heavy blow.
The Beyonders protecting the Duke in other rooms immediately sensed the smell of the mysterious domain, and broke into the bedroom one after another.
And the leader is none other than the deacon of the Church of Storms, "Secret Technique Instructor" Stuart!
After the "Singer of God" tracked Jason Beria to the pier, Stuart, who had had similar "experiences" several times, realized something was wrong, so he took the initiative to ask for help and replaced the " The Blessed One".
While simulating the "healing" ability and repairing the Duke's damage, Stuart cast a secret technique, trying to "project" back the ability that the devil had imposed on the Duke...
But at this moment, Duke Negan's blond secretary went straight to the attic where the mysterious power came from, and used his ability to "seal" it, as if trying to trap him.
But in this way, Stuart's secret technique was also blocked.
The "Secret Technique Instructor" frowned, but he didn't criticize anything. After all, he had never cooperated with the other party before, and it was inevitable that they would not cooperate with each other.
He simply didn't intervene in the confrontation between the opponent and the enemy, so as not to cause accidental injury, and only concentrated on guarding Duke Negan, and "pacified" him by the way, lest he give the opponent a loophole when he was emotional.
But although the blond secretary was strong, he obviously failed to completely block the "Apostle of Desire", relying on his own speciality, the other party turned into a shadow to bypass the attack.
Just when the "Apostle of Desire" planned to create the death of the Duke's mistress, Miss Aisha, to arouse the Duke's fear, and then kill him, Stuart stopped him at the right time, and relied on various means to instantly find his unique The weakness of the shadow spell!
Seeing the astonishing "Holy Light" condensed in Stuart's hands, the "Apostle of Desire" was about to die with hatred...Suddenly, a man's figure suddenly appeared beside Duke Negan. The language solemnly declared:
"Death!"
As the voice fell, the man's body merged with some strange force, and a brilliance like the morning sun emerged on the surface of his body, and he hit Duke Negan's head at once, smashing his head to pieces!
——If Duke Negan hadn’t been injured, as a mid-sequence Extraordinary, he definitely wouldn’t be hit so easily... Even if he was hit, he would definitely have time to activate his abilities and weaken his injuries, at least not Immediately die...
But there is no if in this world, the leader of the Conservative Party, the largest land nobleman other than the king, the elder brother of the current Prime Minister, a Sequence 6 Extraordinary, a real big shot, Duke Pallas Negan just died like this.
The change came so suddenly that even Stuart had no time to react, and could only watch helplessly as the Duke lost his head...
The blond secretary who rushed over from behind even blurted out: "Baron Larry?! You actually killed the Duke!"
Before he finished speaking, he launched an attack out of anger.
The man who shot suddenly was Baron Larry, the most wanted criminal in the kingdom. He looked at his fist as if he had woken up from a dream, and murmured in disbelief: "What did I do?"
He didn't react at all to the blonde secretary's attack.
But this attack was still in vain, because Baron Larry's figure disappeared without a trace again, as if he had never appeared before.
As for the "Apostle of Desire", he seemed to have expected it. Taking advantage of everyone's surprise, he didn't take care of his suitcase, left the villa quickly, and evacuated the scene according to the predetermined route.
Until a rich sea of blood appeared in front of his eyes, and in the middle of the sea of blood stood a silver full body armor!
…
At the same time, white, gray, yellow, and black mist rose over the Jowood area~IndoMTL.com~Since this kind of mist is normal in Backlund, it didn't attract anyone's attention.
In the mist, an old man with white but still bushy hair was wearing a shirt, vest, three-piece suit, striped blue-gray trousers, and a dark red bow tie. His head, but after a while, he put down his hand, and his demeanor returned to gentle and refined.
The old man smiled slightly, looked around, and soon saw a heroic young woman, holding Baron Larry who had fallen into a coma in her hand.
Seeing this scene, the old man bowed to the woman and said with a smile:
"Your Highness Vera...hehe, is it alright to call you that now?"
"No problem..." Her Highness Vera nodded slightly, looked at the old man and said, "His Royal Highness Eric Hogg."
"The personality I virtualized for him is still Hwin Rambis, at most it's Hwin who has Erikhogg's memory... Please don't call me wrong again." The old man, that is, the virtual one After "Hvin Rambis" corrected a sentence, he continued,
"If you hadn't ambushed that item on Larry in advance, causing Hewin to fall into extreme 'bad luck', and wanted to replace the personality of the spiritual master who had the 'mark' made, even me, It won't be so easy to succeed...
"Even if it succeeds, it is likely to trigger the spiritual means left by that one...
"Hehe, no... It should be said that without your help, I would not have succeeded. After all, without the cover of this fog, everything we have done cannot be hidden from Him."
This is what he gave me at the beginning... Naturally, it is very useful... Vera was silent for a few seconds, and replied in a flat tone:
"I've finished what I promised you. When are you going to fulfill your promise? Ari...Your Excellency Herben Rambis?"
