Part 3 the traveler Chapter 149 – Three Days Gone by
It can’t be that this thing is aimed at me, right? Klein was shocked, and his whole body suddenly became extremely lucid.
As a person who had experienced similar things many times, he already had a bit of “persecution paranoia” in this regard.
”There really is this possibility ah …… I just arrived at Oravi Island, the ‘Mother Tree of Desire’ gave Follett Ken a revelation with the help of a dream and started the whole plan, and the first time I met up with Bilt Brando, the celestial Cultists perform a ritual to make that bum stand-in overeat and die ……
”If the target was Admiral Emilius, the plan had to ensure that with the loss of the double, he couldn’t find another helper or had no other way to hide it, which was obviously uncertain, as evidenced by my involvement ……
”If the target is me, the above can be explained.” Klein used his “Joker” ability to control his facial expression, and silently watched Follett-Ken.
With such a guess, more doubts swirled in his mind:
”But how can they be sure that Bilt Brando will seek me out?
”The information that Germaine Sparrow could become anyone was passed on by ‘Lieutenant General Disease’ Tracy, and is a factor beyond the control of the ‘Mother Tree of Desire’… …
”Of course, this can be viewed in another way; it was because this information was spread and I arrived on Oravi Island that the ‘Mother Tree of Desire’ sent down revelations to push this matter forward.
”But the question is, why did K contaminate me? My hatred with the Rose School is nowhere near enough to draw the attention of an evil god, ah, it’s just that with Ms. Sharon and the others they killed a Sequence 5 ‘Spiteful Soul’, a Sequence 6 ‘Living Corpse’, and a Sequence 7 ‘Lycanthrope ‘, took away the ‘Crimson Moon Coronet’ and the ‘Biotoxin Vial’ …… against the ‘Blood Above General’ hunt. ‘ hunt, on the other hand, has been interrupted before it has really begun, and has yet to be put into practice, just taking out ‘Steel’ McVitie ……
”The retaliation that arrives as a result of these things is not even likely to exceed the rank of Saint!
”Is it that I myself am special, and somehow ‘resonated’ with the items formed by the breath of the ‘Mother Tree of Desire’ here as soon as I came to the island?
”But I didn’t see any of the holy relics left behind by any of the deities reacting abnormally in Beckland, or in Tingen City, before.
”Also, I had gone above the Gray Mist to divine beforehand, and the revelation I got was that the homeless man’s death was a coincidence, not arranged by a mythological creature or a ‘0’ seal, but it turned out not to be so ……
”This, this is the first time that Divination Above the Gray Mist has been truly interfered with? It’s left me unnoticed and interfered with?”
Klein’s thoughts stalled, realizing that this was the most serious one.
Previously, when “0-08” was involved, he had only been denied a valid revelation, not the results being interfered with!
So, it’s a power that exceeds the level of a “0” level seal? “The Mother Tree of Desire herself interfered, and is a real deity herself? However, it is difficult for the seven gods to directly influence the real world, there must be a corresponding ritual …… Well, I also have to divine the level of danger of playing Emilius on top of the gray mist, and the revelation I received was tolerable, and the development of the matter is exactly the same as the result, so this is not interfered with again? The more Klein thought about it, the more he felt that the whole thing was full of fog.
The most puzzling thing to him was that if the target of the contamination was himself, why would he have solved the problem relatively simply without being subjected to anything too difficult.
This makes the arrangement of the “Mother Tree of Desire” seem like a joke! When the feeling of stagnation was about to overwhelm Follett-Ken, Klein opened his mouth again to ask a question to confirm his suspicions.
To his surprise, this week, the celestial sect has never held a ceremony to pray for the “Mother Tree of Desire” to interfere with the divination, nor any special arrangements for the failure of the plan.
Strange …… Klein pulled out a gold coin and let it pop up with a bang as a final confirmation.
Even without divination, he was almost certain that Follett Ken was not lying, firstly, because the other party had already had a mental breakdown and did not have the ability to weave a reasonable story, and secondly, Follett Ken’s answer was logical, and matched with some of the details that Klein had intentionally left out.
Snap! The gold coin fell to the spread palm with the king’s head facing upwards in affirmation.
Combining the divination statements, Klein finally determined that Follett Ken had not lied.
Pushing down the doubts in his heart for the time being, he looked at Follett-Ken again and asked without a hint of a smile:
”What are some of the things you have ever done that go against the laws and social customs of the kingdom?”
Follett-Ken was stunned for a few seconds, and his mental state seemed to get better all of a sudden.
In his opinion, the scheming related to Admiral Emilius was the most serious offense, the thing that would most easily anger the big man in front of him, and the others were just minor issues that didn’t deserve the demigod’s energetic attention.
So, skipping the important parts and coming to common topics meant that he might have a good ending.
Follett-Ken couldn’t help but reveal a not-so-obvious smile and busily explained:
”I once tortured someone’s family for a night and killed and discarded them within the jungle in order to seize their family fortune, and then, utilizing forged documents, I successfully obtained a considerable amount of wealth.
”I have deliberately induced many believers to indulge in their desires, and watched them step by step become the sustenance of the ‘Mother Tree of Desire’ in the emptiness and remorse they felt afterward.
”I have seduced a number of ladies and possessed them under the pretext of helping them to liberate their nature and obtain the salvation of the spirit.
”I have tortured to death some believers who tried to apostatize, mainly by cutting off little by little everything that protruded from their bodies ……”
He gave an account of his crimes one after another, as if he didn’t want to hide anything.
Klein actually listened in disbelief, he had never imagined that human nature could be so evil to such an extent.
As Follett-Ken got a little more and more excited with his words, he saw Admiral Emilius stand up with no expression on his face, walk around the desk, walk to his face, and raise his left palm.
In the center of that left palm, a terrible mouth split open, two rows of illusory teeth white and cold.
”No …… no!”
A mournful and terrified scream echoed in the study for a long time.
After a while, Klein bent down and picked up the grayish mass of light that looked like a miniature brain.
This was a remarkable feature of the “madman”!
Unfortunately for him, Follett-Ken had been searched before being brought here, leaving no cash or belongings behind.
Snap! Klein snapped his fingers and set fire to the remaining pieces of clothing.
Glancing at the tentatively healing wound on his left shoulder, he sat back down behind his desk and remained silent for a long moment in the quiet, prancing crimson flames.
Only when all traces had ceased to be visible did he pull the appropriate cord, causing the bell outside the door to jingle.
The blonde secretary, Lur’an, lifted the “seal” and opened the door, instinctively scrutinizing the corners.
”Instruct the guards and the base to work with the Oravi police system to do a cleanup of the Celestial Sect, and ideally find clues to capture some of the members of the Rose School.” Klein gave the order calmly.
”Yes, Your Excellency General.” Luelan responded respectfully.
He didn’t ask where Follette Ken had gone, as if this leader of the Celestial Sect had never existed.
……
The capture within Oravi Island did not concern Klein too much, using the reason that he had suffered a slight injury himself as a reason to put off all arrangements for the next two days.
This meant that he didn’t need to worry about how to display the majesty of the Arbiter’s Pathway High Sequence at critical moments after losing the “Ninth Law” spell.
”Your Excellency, Mr. Austen has not yet left on the passenger ship, and the new Governor Ben Conard has sent you an invitation to his banquet tonight.” It was nearing noon when Luran knocked on the door and entered to report matters.
本-康纳德……接替奥斯顿总督位置的人 …… As far as I know, Viscount Conard’s family is a loyal clustering of the royal family, and Talim is supposed to have gotten to know Prince Edsak in the course of serving as Viscount Conard’s youngest son’s equestrian teacher …… Klein nodded gently, substituting the complex emotions of Emilius Levitt.
He was silent for several seconds and said:
”Tell Governor Connor that I have suffered some injuries due to the attack of the Celestial Cult and it is not convenient for me to attend the banquet.
”Apologize to him on my behalf.”
”Yes, His Excellency the Admiral.” Without any persuasion, Lur’an calmly left the room.
A demigod was qualified enough to be “capricious”!
As long as he didn’t participate in conspiracies or make serious mistakes, he wouldn’t be criticized for what he did, because any power would be willing to accept a demigod!
Watching Luelan’s back disappear in the doorway, Klein shook his head and sat back behind his desk.
A peaceful day passed quickly, and near the early hours of the morning, Klein, who was lying asleep in the guest room, suddenly woke up with a start and rolled over to sit up.
His inspiration told him that someone had entered the house!
Klein gazed at the window and saw a middle-aged man in a tuxedo formal dress, he had black hair and blue eyes, the corners of his mouth slightly drooping, it was Admiral Emilius!
Phew, he’s finally back …… Klein stood up slowly and asked cautiously:
”What item did you give me beforehand?”
He was worried that the Admiral Emilius in front of him was also in the disguise of “Faceless Man”.
Admiral Emilius stood there with a serious expression and replied:
”The ‘Ninth Law’ charm.”
Not waiting for Germaine Sparrow to speak again, he took two steps forward and calmly asked:
”Has anything happened in the past few days?”
…… Klein controlled his facial muscles and said:
”Your secretary made a mistake and suffered some injuries.”
”Hmm? And?” Admiral Emilius nodded in a deep, introspective way.
Trying not to look away, Klein looked straight at the other man and said:
”Your brother was relieved of his governorship and a new one has arrived.”
”Your Miss Cynthia alienated into a monster and was purified by me.
”Some of your guard members and attendant servants have some infection and are being treated ……”
”…… “Emilius’ expression could hardly be contained as it grew a little bit more dismayed.
His eyes moved slightly, as if he was wondering if he had returned to the wrong place.
It had only been three days!
