Part 3 The Traveler Chapter 143 – A Smooth First Day
Phew, Emilius and Austen Leavitt, what exactly are they planning, even attracted the “Twilight Hermit Society” warning …… is not a real change in the times, affecting the direction of history at a critical point, this ancient and secretive organization will not come forward, even if the Without revealing his identity …… Klein stood at the edge of the magnificent castle in the dream world, looking thoughtfully at the place where the blurred figure had just disappeared.
In the midst of his thoughts, he suddenly awakened to a point where he was no longer so sure about his earlier guess:
What Admiral Emilius and his brother were planning might not really affect the trend of the times!
Although the “Dusk Hermits” only interfered with important issues in this area, as the leader of a secretive organization, Klein clearly understood that, in addition to practicing its own purpose and philosophy, there were also members who helped each other.
From the diary of Emperor Rossel, it can be seen that the “Dusk Hermit Society” has members from different fields with different statuses and different sequences, except for some of them who fervently believe in the original Creator, waiting for the dusk to come and the true God to awaken, the rest have their own interests, under such circumstances, as long as the organizer did not strictly control the organization from the beginning, internal commissions would inevitably occur. , internal commissions are bound to arise.
”Perhaps, what Auston Leavitt plotted would just affect a certain ‘Dusk Hermit Society’ member, and was detected by him in advance, making an internal commission, and letting the other members use the ‘trend of the times’ as an excuse to warn Amelius Levitt ……
”From this logic, what’s lurking is a bit interesting …… With the bit of the ‘Dusk Hermit Society’, only the Sequence 4 ‘Weaver’ should be ‘ Emilius is a target that can be removed without too much difficulty, and I even suspect that they can field more than three angels to outwit the Seven Churches ……
”So why not just do it, and come as an advance warning?
”Back in Berkland, if an angel really showed up, maybe one of the true gods would have descended, so the ‘Twilight Hermit Society’ had to resort to a more roundabout and less conspicuous way of dealing with Duke Negan, but this is Olavi Island, and even the High Sequence Powers aren’t permanent ……
”Is the warning because the ‘Dusk Hermit Society’ prizes secrecy and doesn’t want to expose itself and tries not to resort to drastic means, or is it because that member doing the in-house commission doesn’t want to see Emilius die? Was the admiral quite useful to ‘him’ and couldn’t afford to give him up, even if the other party might be involved in actions that would be detrimental to ‘him’?
”Then the identity of ‘his’ reality would seem to ring a few bells ……”
With a bold assumption but no way to prove it, Klein could only put the matter aside for the time being and put it behind him.
Anyway, the one who drew the warning from the “Dusk Hermit Society” is Admiral Emilius, and I have nothing to do with it …… As long as I don’t do anything in these few days and don’t get involved, I will be able to successfully hold out until the end of the commission, and how it will develop in the future has nothing to do with me! With my current rank, investigating the “Twilight Hermit Society” is still too far, not qualified to pry into anything …… Klein obeyed the will of the heart, and turned to look at his own Tarot Society.
”Heh, I found a problem, other hidden organizations are based on practicing their own purpose and philosophy, interspersed with members helping each other, while our Tarot Society is awesome, only entrusted to each other, no purpose and philosophy …… No, in the eyes of some members there is a purpose and philosophy, for example. ‘Moon’ students believe that this is an organization born to save the world ……” “Fool” Klein smiled to himself and exited the dream world.
He rubbed the false eye off and pushed the real one back into place, moving very smoothly with sudden pauses along the way.
”It wasn’t a simple dream entry just now!” Before looking back, Klein frowned slightly.
Because the power had first tried to pull him into a deep sleep!
”And why would he do that when I was already asleep? The captain said that ‘nightmares’ can see directly into the dream world, and it’s impossible for them to make this kind of mistake …… So, what that visitor just used was not the extraordinary ability of the class ‘nightmare’, but some other method …… spirit world localization? Or, knowing my location, directly affecting my mental body through the collective subconscious sea described by Ms. Daley?
”Well …… I prefer the second one, only this can explain why I can’t break free from the dream world even though I’ve obviously regained my sanity, and Emperor Rossel also said in his diary that the suspected ‘Twilight Hermit Society’ that he was involved in Organization, which meets through a real dream world that covers the continent, the real ‘dream world’ ……”
Klein nodded and laughed silently at the sigh.
”Admiral Emilius must not have anticipated the warnings of the ‘Twilight Hermit Society’.
”That’s why I was hired; anyone else would have been exposed just now! I’m kind of right about the ‘Ninth Law’ charm.”
……
Silver City, inside the Round Tower, inside the room belonging to Chief Colin Iliad.
Derek Burger, who had been summoned to the room, once again saw the “Demon Hunter” with white hair and old scars on his cheeks, and was a bit uneasy.
When he finished his greeting, Colin looked up and down and said:
”You’ve been promoted?”
”Yes, I’m already a Sequence 7 ‘Sun God Officer’.” Derek had done the registration a long time ago, and at this time, he was even less likely to hide it.
Colin’s deep, vicissitudes of light blue eyes shifted away and asked as if he was not thinking:
”Is there a subsequent magic potion formula?”
The earliest Derek would have directly answered “no”, but now he had gotten used to doing a bit of thinking before opening his mouth.
If I say “no” and then get promoted, and lack the corresponding experience to support it, then it will definitely be recognized as a problem, but if I answer “yes”, the chief may let me exchange it for items and start training more “Sun” pathway extraordinary person, which will undoubtedly prove that I lied …… Derek thought for a moment and said sincerely:
”No.”
Experiences could be manufactured, in his thinking.
Colin nodded without seeing the anomaly:
”In about two months, I’ll set you up on an exploration, following the squad as they immobilize the paths and ruins we found with the help of Jack earlier, and do a second cleanup.
”I hope you’ll be able to get more out of it.”
”Yes, Your Chief Excellency.” Derek had just responded when he suddenly remembered the “shepherd” elder Lovia.
……
After dawn, Klein changed his clothes under Cynthia’s service, enjoyed a hearty breakfast, and then rode in a carriage, surrounded by the general’s guards, to enter the Oravi Naval Base.
In the morning, accompanied by the Commodore and Colonels, he inspected the condition of the ships, the ammunition stock, the new training grounds and the bathhouse, which had been rebuilt twenty times in the past year.
After lunch in the Navy mess hall, Klein called the officers above the rank of Lieutenant Commander for a debriefing, as planned in his schedule.
Throughout this process, he had a thick black leather notebook spread out in front of him, containing some questions specially prepared by Admiral Emilius.
”In the past few decades, because of withholding pay and mistreating sailors, a total of seventeen rebellions of the bottom soldiers occurred in Oravi, after the promulgation of the Latest Regulations of the Royal Navy, thanks to the guidance of Your Excellency the Admiral, we have improved this culture, and in the last three years, there has been no more similar incidents …… “A colonel from the Oravi Naval Base stood at his place and reported on the overall situation.
Every now and then he glanced up at Admiral Emilius Levitt and realized that His Excellency was listening very attentively, taking notes all the time, and the rustling of his voice made none of the officers sitting in a circle dare to slack off, recording the main points with the same concentration.
The colonel who received such a positive response, the voice of the report unconsciously became a little louder.
It’s so boring ah …… Klein took a fountain pen and randomly drew creatures such as turtles, octopuses and gargoyles on his black leather notebook.
Since he hadn’t learned how to sketch, he drew wherever he thought of, and failed miserably.
Later, he even drew a solid line of interlocking lines and played the game of “backgammon” invented by Rossel the Great with himself.
Of course, his rich experience and self-awareness of his status made him look up from time to time, give a serious glance at the person reporting and give a nod of encouragement, but as for what the other party was talking about, he did not pay attention to it at all, and could only memorize the occasional sentence he heard.
In between the reports, Klein would glance at the blonde secretary, Lurien, and ask him to take his place and make a few points of explanation about what was being reported that needed to be explained.
Everything was in flow.
At the end of the day, Klein flipped the black notebook forward a few pages, and read out the report that Mr. Secretary had drafted the Admiral’s revised report in the accent of a Ruin nobleman, adding some “connectives” and “catchphrases” according to the actual situation and Emilius’s usage of words, such as “Here are a few more points”, “I will say a few more points”.
It was evening when the meeting ended, and Klein, accompanied by Secretary Luran, left the Oravi base for a dinner party at the residence of a naval agent.
At the dinner, they chatted about the fluctuating prices of port supplies, while Klein followed Admiral Emilius’ example and occasionally told an outdated Becklander joke, which drew a warm response from everyone who praised His Excellency the Admiral for his true humor.
Playing smoothly until the end of the banquet, Klein boarded the carriage and actually had a feeling of physical and mental exhaustion.
”Every minute and second you have to pay attention to your words and demeanor, playing a day for real is even more tiring than fighting a battle with a pirate general ……” Klein exhaled silently, and on the surface he did not move and half closed his eyes.
He knew that the most difficult phase of the day was not yet over!
There was still Cynthia to deal with next!
……
Inside the villa, Cynthia knew of Admiral Emilius’ imminent return from the attendants who had gone out to spy.
She quietly returned to her bedroom, removed the small black rhino horn pendant, scraped a small amount of powder from a thin metal plate, and added it to the hot water in her white glazed porcelain teacup.
After chanting the name of the Tree of Desire seven times and waiting a few seconds, she lifted the cup of tea with hope and gulped it down.
