Part 5 The Red Priestess Chapter 114 The Hidden Secret
Blood Earl Mistral frowned slightly, not too willing to admit it but still quite honest:
”There should have been no leaks beforehand either.”
Because if that was the case, the demigods of the Rose School would have had plenty of time to use the response of the “Mother Tree of Desire” and the “Sins of the Gods” Seara to lay more dangerous and terrifying traps than the kind that the angels could easily solve.
That’s why Mistral said that the trap was closer to improvised and seemed a bit rushed.
This was ample proof that there was no mole, after all, the ones who knew about the plan of action beforehand were the few who were involved tonight, and if they wanted to leak the information, they could have gone ahead and done so long ago, unless there was someone who had changed their mind on the fly or wanted to utilize the time constraints to seek more benefits, which would have left obvious traces.
Sharon, in her black fedora, still looking at the restaurant that had lost its roof, was silent for a while and said:
”Perhaps other ways of detecting danger.”
For the purpose of this operation, the Blood Clan had activated a sealing object that could interfere with even a demon’s premonition of danger, not to mention things like psychic intuition.
”Maybe ……,” Mistral couldn’t think of a better explanation.
At this moment, that room on the second floor of the restaurant was intact, as if nothing had happened, except for the red wine in the glass and the weird villain that had evaporated and disappeared.
Originally, Sharon and Mistral could try to use divination to seek the answer to the question, to restore what actually happened before the attack here, but now, they can’t do so, because all the surrounding area was illuminated by the “red moon”, which is equivalent to receiving the baptism of the “Mother Tree of Desire” related things. All of the surrounding area had been illuminated by the Red Moon, which was equivalent to being baptized by the “Mother Tree of Desire”, so divination could easily point to this evil god, and the results would be unimaginable.
Not waiting for Sharon to open her mouth, Mistral sucked in a silent breath and said:
”Everything has an element of surprise, it’s impossible to succeed one hundred percent, let’s leave it at that for today, if we stay any longer it’s likely that the official forces will notice the abnormality.”
As soon as his words fell, the black chains that had hoisted the roof into mid-air instantly became dim and illusory.
That roof lowered back down and covered the second floor of the restaurant, looking no different from the past.
Of course, when it was windy and rainy, water seepage was sure to occur here, and if there was a storm, the entire roof would be lifted up again.
The huge bat wings that covered the surrounding area then retracted back into the darkness, and a light drizzle of rain re-covered the place.
Hidden in the shadows, Klein watched as the figure of Miss Sharon in her black court dress rapidly faded into transparency and disappeared, watched as a cloud of illusory smoke rose up and countless tiny bats went their separate ways, and couldn’t help but frown, muttering silently to himself:
”What kind of accident is this ……”
Having an accident wasn’t scary, what was scary was not even knowing what the accident was.
No matter at what stage, the unknown would always make people fearful.
At this time, Klein’s ears suddenly rang with a slightly intermittent voice with slight intervals:
”Exactly ……” “What ……” “happened” “what ……” “thing ……”
Klein turned his head sideways and realized that Miss Messenger had walked out of the spirit world at some point and was standing side by side with himself.
The four blonde, red-eyed heads carried in K’s hands were looking at the restaurant in unison.
”Can …… you see what was going on before?” Klein asked with deliberation.
After the “Fae” pathway reaches the stage of “Grievous Souls”, they can freely enter and exit the spirit world, and directly obtain revelations from there, whether it’s spiritual intuition or divination and prophecy, they all become quite powerful, and the corresponding Sequence 2 Angels will definitely not be bad in this aspect, so. Klein had this question.
The four heads that Renette Tignicole was carrying shook at the same time and spoke in unison:
”Can’t.”
Klein nodded thoughtfully, and without asking any more questions, maneuvered the secret puppet to leave the area.
……
”And that’s the end of it ……” Emlyn White, who had been dry-heaving for a while, said to himself in amazement as he rubbed the ring with the ghostly blue gemstone.
He sensed Count Mistral’s frustration, anger, and restraint in not wanting to be angry with the lady and not wanting to take it out on others through the Oath of the Rose ring, and initially decided that the operation had failed due to some accident.
”It’s over?” Hearing his words, Marich across the table was equally stunned.
He actually wanted to ask Emlyn White just now why he suddenly recoiled, his expression twisted to a certain extent, but nicely restrained his curious desire and restrained the corresponding impulse.
”No, I didn’t find the target ……” Emlyn tried his best to recall what Count Mistral had seen and heard, but due to the blockade of the Marquis de Nibes, he couldn’t do so with the help of the Oath of the Rose until the rising of the “red moon”. But due to the blockade of the Marquis de Nibes, he could not see the scene until the rising of the “red moon”, with the help of the “Rose Oath” ring, which was soon rendered ineffective by the feeling of mutation.
Meanwhile, Emlyn muttered in his mind:
”The demigod of the Temperance Faction came here possessed in the body of a mannequin?
”Which master’s work is this …… simply art!”
”Didn’t find the target? How could ……” Marich’s brows wrinkled with difficulty.
In his opinion, everything had gone smoothly in this operation up until just now, and neither he, Sharon, nor the Bloods had any motive to leak the information to the Rose School.
As for Sherlock Moriarty, he had long ago proved his credibility through one cooperation after another.
Restraining his great disappointment and doubt, Marich said with little change in his expression:
”Then let’s leave the neighborhood as soon as possible.”
As soon as the words left his mouth, his figure began to fade, truly displaying the qualities of a “Grieving Soul”.
Emlyn subconsciously wanted to ask the other party which puppet master he was familiar with, but after opening his mouth, he felt that it was detrimental to the image of the blood race, so he had to swallow his words back into his stomach.
”Even if I know that master, I don’t have the money to buy …… for the mission I’m carrying, it’s always necessary to make some sacrifices …… Unfortunately, this time, I didn’t manage to capture the demigods of the Rose School, and I can’t figure out the current situation of their headquarters , it’s difficult to get back that holy relic left behind by the Patriarch …… “Emlyn’s expression gradually sank between his thoughts.
……
Inside one of the pool rooms of the “Bravehearts” bar on Iron Gate Street in the Birkeland Bridge area.
Sherlock Moriarty’s Klein is sitting opposite Sharon and Maric.
After a short silence, Sharon, wearing a black court dress and sitting on a high stool, looked across at the great detective and said:
”What do you think?”
Klein thought for a moment and said:
”The effects of that ‘red moon’ were quickly dissipated.”
”You mean, if the demigod of the Rose School had already sensed the great danger through some method or some being, then why did he set up this temporary, not very effective trap?” Marich and Sharon spoke thoughtfully after glancing at each other.
”Right.” Klein nodded, “He should be able to foresee that with the danger being so great, a trap of this magnitude would easily be dissolved, so why would he waste time setting it up instead of fleeing immediately? It goes against the creature’s instincts.”
Sharon, who wore a compact fedora, moved her head in a slightly unnoticeable manner:
”A trap on the surface, but a cover in essence?”
Klein responded with a slight slowdown in his speech:
”Yes. A trap like this is utilized to ‘clean’ the scene, block the divination, and cover up the specifics of the situation.
”Only by attempting to cover up some secret would the demigods of the Rose School take a huge risk and stay at the scene for that much longer.”
”But it’s also possible that they didn’t realize that we had angels of the blood to help with the traps ……,” Maric offered his thoughts.
Klein laughed:
”They wouldn’t have overlooked the fact that you had angels behind you, and anyone who could so accurately attack the hidden members of the Rose School in Berkland was bound to be a defector who knew enough about them.”
He was referring to the presence of Renette Tynecol.
”What is the secret that needs to be covered up?” Sharon asked, seeming to accept Klein’s skepticism and sitting upright.
Klein shook his head:
”There are so many possibilities, maybe it’s that secret of noticing the attack in time, or maybe it’s the secret of what they’re trying to plot in Berkland ……”
Speaking of which, Klein tried to introduce the Rose School into the current tense situation in Birkeland, but found that without their position, it was unlikely that either the good gods or the evil gods would cooperate with the “Mother Tree of Desire”.
This made Kraven more and more puzzled, not knowing what kind of surprises could be brewed by such an unknown.
He paused for a moment, and swept his gaze over Sharon and Maric’s faces, saying:
”Anyway, be cautious and careful enough to come here next, even here sparingly.
”Well, under the premise of being able to ensure your own safety, then try to monitor other Rose School members to see if you can figure out the secrets that are lurking.”
”Thanks.” Sharon’s figure floated up and gave a salute.
Marich did likewise.
The crimson fire light rose up for a moment, and Klein’s figure disappeared into thin air.
As agreed beforehand, since he didn’t have the chance to make a move, the reward he received was only a gratuitous help from Renette Tinicol.
……
Back at 160 Birklund Street, Klein was about to undress and go to bed for an early night, when an illusory cascade of supplications suddenly rang in his ears.
It came from a woman.
”Miss Justice” …… Klein nodded with some suspicion, and went smoothly into the lavatory, taking four steps against the grain to come above the gray mist.
As he expected, the supplicant was Audrey “Justice”, an aristocratic lady who had collected 12,000 pounds in cash and wanted to ask Mr. Fool to transfer it to Mr. World to complete the “Dreamwalker”. “Dreamwalker” and “Hypnotist” to complete the transaction of their extraordinary properties.
Well, if the ritual can be replaced by “Angel’s Embrace”, Ms. “Justice” will be able to try for promotion in the next two days, and it’s time to put the quest for “Grosser’s Travels” into the schedule. Leonard has been a “Spirit Witch” for a few days now, and has nothing to do …… Klein breathed a sigh of relief and responded to Ms. Justice, allowing her to begin the sacrifice.
In the current situation of increasing tension and unknown factors, Klein hopes to improve himself as much as possible in a short period of time, which includes a number of aspects, one is the increase in the number of secret puppets and seals, the second is the restoration of helpers, and the third is the further mastery of knowledge and secrets, which will help him to see the truth, grasp the real attitude of different forces, and find opportunities from it.
The quest of Grosseur’s Travels corresponds to the third point.
