Part 5 THE RED PRIEST CHAPTER 139 Examining the Situation
”Extra! Extra! The kingdom has declared war on Forsak!”
Kline, who was returning to Berkland from Maege Manor, sat on the carriage and listened to the newsboys shouting as they ran down the street at a fast pace.
Although he had already prepared for it, after confirming that the war was really in full swing, Klein still had a sigh of relief, and his emotions uncontrollably sank a little further.
”The hatred of the loss of the key territory of the island of Sunia …… The entanglement of colonial interests …… The failure of previous wars …… The economy due to the fight against pollution Downturn …… Massive bankruptcies of domestic farmers hit by foreign food products since the repeal of the Grain Bill …… Extremely poor living conditions of the underclass …… Gap between rich and poor deepened ……
”The middle class is blindly confident in the power of the Rune state and desperately wants a chance to elevate their status …… Conflicts between the different political parties in the upper class are intensifying and tearing each other apart …… The king and his faction want to get a large-scale war …… With so many factors added up, just from the objective conditions, from a materialistic point of view, it was almost inevitable that Rune would export war out of the country …… Reality is the best writer… … “Klein jumped out of his past position and re-examined the domestic situation of Lune from the perspective of a bystander, and found that the wave of the times had already formed and rolled on, and it really couldn’t be stopped without the True God descending.
In comparison, he was more puzzled as to why the Forsak Empire was willing to initiate a war.
Even if a member of an ancient hidden organization was indeed a high-ranking member of Vrsak or the Church of the God of War, a key figure qualified to make decisions, it was impossible to dictate on such a major matter, and how could anyone else approve of a world war?
”Could it be that the conflicts between the various classes within Vrsak have also completely intensified and a war is urgently needed?” Klein lacked enough knowledge about that empire in the north to make an accurate judgment, “But they just won the East Byron War before and seized more colonial benefits, it doesn’t make sense that the situation is even worse than that of Ruun …… Well, the royal Einhorn family is in charge of the ‘Red Priest’ pathway, it’s understandable that it desires war, but there’s no reason why the Church of the God of War wouldn’t stop it ah, as a member of the Orthodox God Alliance, they lack enough motivation to help Amon’s brother advance to Sequence 0.”
Thinking about this, Klein suddenly had a guess:
”Did that brother of Amon perceive that the Goddess had obtained the matter of the ‘uniqueness’ of the ‘Death’ pathway, and at a critical moment, revealed this information to the ‘God of War The ‘God of War’ church? And the ‘God of War’ and the Goddess are in neighboring pathways, it is impossible to ignore this matter, and will certainly make a fierce response ……
”Of course, it may not be Amon’s brother who did this, but it could also be that Angel Hector of the Spirit Order’s Artificial Death Sect who, under the reminder of Sauron Einhorn Medici, a conspiracy expert, discovered the abnormality in advance, pretended to not notice anything on one hand, and continued to set up a trial, while on the other hand, introduced the ‘God of War’ Church, making the situation even more difficult. ‘ Church, making the situation even worse and more chaotic …… ‘Red Angel’ Evil Spirit is really a symbol of war ah ……
”If that’s the case, then it’s inevitable that Fusak will start a war, and there’s no way to reconcile the matter of the ‘Death God’ pathway ‘Uniqueness’, and when it comes to the critical moment, the ‘War God ‘ might directly descend, and the divine war that hadn’t appeared since the Fourth Era broke out ……
”This time, Fusak’s airship formation was able to pass through the coast to the nearly 100 kilometers of Beckland’s area in extreme stealth without being detected, there must be a ‘weather warlock’ to provide blessings, otherwise, even if it detoured to a sparsely populated area, it would definitely be seen in advance, and it would definitely be encountered by Ruun’s airship forces. Interception …… ‘Weather Warlock’, this is an angel ah, since the fifth era, the number of times this level of extraordinary people appeared in the war is absolutely rare …… After the fall of the great emperor, all kinds of colonial wars, most of the soldiers don’t even know that there are extraordinary people …… What does this ‘Weather Warlock’s’ strike mean ……
”This is really a war that sweeps the world and involves all levels, is this what Amon’s brother wants?
”At that time, the ‘Lord of Storms’, the ‘Eternal Blazing Sun’, the ‘Mother Goddess of the Earth’, the ‘God of Steam and Machinery’, the ‘God of Steam and Machinery’, the ‘God of the Storms’, the ‘Eternal Blazing Sun’, the ‘Mother Goddess of the Earth’, the God’, ‘God of Steam and Machinery’, and ‘God of Knowledge and Wisdom’ will each choose what stance they will take, and will the conflicts between the k’s that have been temporarily suppressed for a thousand or two thousand years intensify as a result ……
”‘Mother Goddess of the Earth’ loves giants, even the Divine Familiars have Forsak people in them, and the Kingdom of Feneport has a bone-deep hatred for Ruen and Intis because of the division of Rumburgh, Marthi, and Segar, and there’s a high probability that the wills of the kingship and the Divine Power can be unified, and it’s very likely that it will ally itself with Forsak, and attack Ruen and Intis from the south to the north. Rune and Intis, of course, separated in the middle of the country such as Lemberg and the Church of Knowledge will definitely make a block, uh …… that part of Dixie Bay, Feneport and Rune directly border, the south won’t be peaceful either ……”
The more Klein thought about it, the more he felt that the situation in the northern continent was going to become exceptionally chaotic, and there was nothing he could do to stop it either way.
Even for a Sequence 4 Demigod, there was little that could be done to exert a critical influence in such a tidal wave of the times, in a situation that could lead to a divine war, and it would be considered good enough to be able to protect himself and those he cared about.
Previously, when the Fusak airships attacked, Klein’s first time was still to arrange for the butler Walter and the others to hide in the underground area that acted as a wine cellar before ‘teleporting’ to the Bakerland Technical University, at that time, a bomb had already landed there, with some people killed and others injured, and the only thing that Klein was thankful for was that his sister, Melissa, wasn’t in the explosion within range.
Waiting for Melissa and Benson to rendezvous, Fusak’s blimp didn’t make much of a stop, quickly evacuating out of Bakerland before he returned to Dawn Dantes’ mansion.
Hoo…… Klein slowly exhaled and turned his head to look out the window, only to see the pedestrians on the street after hearing that the Kingdom had declared war on Forsak, a small portion of their faces were fearful, seemingly recalling the air raid in the early morning, and most of them had a bewildered face, with a bit of panic, and wanted to do something but didn’t know what to do.
They may not have been able to truly recognize exactly what such a war would entail, but instinctively felt that the peace had been shattered and that the future was chaotic and full of dangerous unknowns.
Klein pulled his gaze back to look across the room at his personal manservant, Njoni, and found himself slightly bewildered in his eyes as well.
Letting out a half-smile, half-sigh, Klein raised his hand and rubbed the corner of his forehead, putting away his frustration and helplessness to think about what he could do and what he needed to be aware of:
”In any case, with this experience and lesson learned, and with that faction of the king waging war as expected, it’s almost impossible for Forsak to invade Berkland again until Ruen is routed on all fronts, and it’s safer for Benson and Melissa to stay here instead ……
”What needs to be worried about is the problem of food scarcity and various assassinations, the latter is nothing, the place where Melissa and Benson live and their own hierarchy decide that they can’t yet come into contact with important people who are prone to be assassinated without being affected by the waves, fortunately, Portland-Mormont’s laboratory has just been formed and hasn’t yet yielded any results, and it won’t be a target that has to be destroyed, as for the former, it can be done by Miss Audrey to provide some ‘assistance’ ……
”Winter County, where the Sanctuary is located, is in the northernmost part of the Kingdom, next to Forsak, and is the frontline of every war, Ms. Arianna will probably return there to help the military, well, k could also be sent elsewhere, to protect the coast, after all, the defenses of Berkland are adequate, the royal family definitely has ‘0’ level sealing Objects, there are also angels, the three major churches most likely also have hidden means …… In this case, my biggest dependence is gone, at most, I can get a certain degree of assistance from the churches to move some sealing objects ……
”I wasn’t too worried about what the return of the ‘Red Angel’ evil spirit would do to me before, but now I must raise my guard in this regard.
”Patrick Blaine is well aware that Dawn Dantes equals Germaine Sparrow equals ‘Death’s Favored One’, which I deliberately revealed in the hopes of directing suspicion toward Mr. Aztec, the ‘Consul of Death’, and now , which means that it won’t take long for the ‘Red Angel’ Evil Spirit to get hold of this information ……
”‘Red Angel’ Evil Spirit is only at a high level, the actual level should not have recovered to the angelic level, and I have no unresolvable grudges with K, there is nothing that K wants, even if K knows that Dontaeus is equal to Gelman Sparrow, the possibility of K directly dealing with me is also very, very low! ……
”In addition to coming directly against me, what harm will k bring when he grasps this situation?
”Use it to set up some conspiracy, or sell the information to someone who needs it?
”What conspiracy …… who would need ……”
Idea after idea and name after name came to Klein’s mind, but were quickly eliminated, including the brother of Amon and the “Angel of Destiny” Urolius – from the previous actions of the Red Angel “From the Red Angel’s previous actions, it was unlikely that K would come into contact with the Redeeming Rose, and Amon’s brother and the Medici K’s were sworn enemies.
Suddenly, a name highlighted within Klein’s mind:
”Charatou!”
The leader of the Order of the Secret Doctors, Charatu, from madness to normal “soothsayer” pathway Sequence 1 Angel Charatu!
According to the feedback from the “Magic Mirror” Aroldus, this powerful and secretive being had left his original location and was nowhere to be found.
Klein had previously speculated whether Chalatu would come to Birkeland because of the Law of Convergence of Extraordinary Characteristics.
”Medici and the Chalatu family, the Zoroaster family all serve in the Solomon Empire, and even if they don’t have a friendship with each other, they must be very familiar with each other …… The one Chalatu met in the misty town was Germaine Sparrow, and if he really wants to pursue something, he will definitely run towards the crazy adventurer to come …… “Klein’s heart moved, and instinctively began to assume that Chalatu was in Berkland, just looking for Gelman Sparrow’s trail, and analyzed other anomalies with this in mind.
Almost instantly, Klein remembered something about the failed joint operation between Sharon and the girls and the Bloods:
”The Rose School was also looking for Germaine Sparrow, would Charatu, who had gotten the corresponding information, cooperate with them?
”The operation was almost successful at that time, and the head of the Rose School in Birkeland was in a great hurry before withdrawing, and it was obvious that the problem was perceived at the last minute, which is an unlikely thing to happen when the Bloods have prepared the corresponding seal, and even that Duke was puzzled and puzzled, but if, and if it was a ‘soothsayer ‘ Pathway Sequence 1 Angel’s intuitive hunch?
”That would explain it well!
”At the time, Charatu was sitting across the table from the head of the Rose School, Birkeland?
”And the Rose School, in the midst of their panicked evacuation, made a point of leaving the mannequins behind, creating moonlight, and cleansing everything, in order to conceal Chalatu’s presence?
”Also, it’s no secret that Germaine Sparrow has some connection to the ‘Consul of Death’; could Charatu be spreading secret puppets all over the place, sensing the presence of death powers in Birkeland everywhere? Was there actually a Chalatu secret puppet staring around when Patrick Blaine performed his ritual earlier?
”If the ‘Red Angel’ Evil Spirit has already sold the information to Chalatu, then wouldn’t I be shooting myself in the foot by returning to Berklund Street in this chaotic situation?”
Klein’s eyes narrowed, and he immediately spoke up, telling the carriage driver in front of him:
”Stop right here, it suddenly occurred to me that there are some other matters that need to be dealt with.”
After saying these words, Klein’s spirit was highly tense, fearing that the coachman would no longer be able to make a reply, and continued to drive forward.
Fortunately, none of this happened, the carriage pulled over and stopped, and Klein took his personal manservant Njuni towards a nearby alley.
Immediately afterward, he snapped his fingers in the middle of no man’s land and allowed streams of crimson flame to emerge from the pockets of his clothing, covering himself and the secret puppet.
He was going to make his way to St. Samuel’s Church as quickly and stealthily as possible!
In a flash of fire, Klein and Njoni’s figures disappeared into thin air.
But after he completed a jump, the flames in his senses were suddenly gone, all of them.
In front of him then appeared a spacious living room, an ordinary easy chair, on which half leaned and half lay a tall, thin, young, southern continent blood, good features, lack of blood color man.
”Red Angel” evil spirit, Soren Einhorn Medici!
This “Red Angel” was playing with a crimson flame in his hand, and the corner of his mouth curled up a little:
”I can’t believe I realized it earlier than I expected.
”Heh, playing ‘Flame Jump’ in front of me ……”
