Part 5 The Red Priestess Chapter 39 The “Hidden” Favorites
Inside the majestic palace, above the gray mist, which could not be seen, Leonard Mitchell had just appeared at the side of the long bronze table.
Leonard Mitchell’s figure just appeared at the side of the bronze table, and he subconsciously stood up, wanting to bow to Mr. “Fool”.
However, as he swept his eyes, he realized that the seat was empty and unoccupied.
”Mr. Fool is not usually here? Leonard’s eyes flickered to the bottom of the long, mottled table.
”The World” sat there silently, as if blended with a gray mist.
”…… It’s just the two of us, there’s no need to deliberately use the image of Germaine Sparrow.” Leonard sat down again, while casually said to the “world”.
After realizing that Mr. “Fool” was not there, he instantly became extremely relaxed, no longer as formal as the last time he participated in the Tarot meeting, and was close to teetering his legs up and resting them on the table.
”Habit.” Klein responded briefly.
Leonard nodded thoughtfully:
”I’ve heard that Germaine Sparrow is portrayed at sea as cold, introspective, svelte, and courteous, and you’re acting like you fit that description, but, Klein, you didn’t used to be like this, you have to remember that you’re just playing the part, and you can’t be influenced by the identity of Germaine Sparrow.”
Hey, I dragged you up here to talk about Amon, not to make small talk! You’re that out of touch with your old grandpa’s business? Klein was indeed accustomed to using the image of “the world” in such a scene, but after being told this by Leonard, he was embarrassed to change back to his original appearance and said with a “hmmm”:
”‘Just playing’ was taught to you by Palles Zoroaster?”
”Right.” Leonard responded matter-of-factly.
This old grandpa looks pretty good well, so key and so important knowledge are told to Leonard …… and k compared to the previous rat demigod is really unsuspecting, almost nothing common sense did not teach Hazel, even if there is taught, but also made a certain distortion, huh, and then wild extraordinary person, to the level of demigods, which will be nothing? I don’t know anything about it. Even Kavituva, this half mad sea serpent, knows exactly how to respond to the ritual, how to ask for sacrifices, and will even bestow some divine magic …… Klein’s mind initially built up the image of Paleos Zoroaster.
However, he did not make a judgment on this, after all, fishing will also prepare some bait, a mere thing really cannot prove too much.
Seeing Klein’s silence, Leonard ended the pleasantries and turned to the topic:
”Where did you find the new traces of ‘Blasphemer’ Amon?”
Klein picked up the point:
”I was tracking a ‘Stealer’ pathway demigod that was close to getting out of control, and ended up running into Amon on the outskirts of Berkland, and had to use the power of Mr. ‘Fool’ to escape straight away.”
”Amon’s doppelganger is really still in Bekrand ……,” Leonard exclaimed, and then asked in a slightly curious and rather scatterbrained manner, “Why did you track down that nearly out-of-control ‘Stealer’ pathway demigod? Stealer’ pathway demigod?”
After asking, he snapped out of it and hastily added:
”If it involves one of Mr. ‘Fool’s’ plans, forget I asked.”
Why? Isn’t it the responsibility of the ‘Night Watch’ to deal with extraordinary people who are close to or have gone out of control? Hearing Leonard’s question, Klein let out a sigh.
He recalled his experience in Tingen City.
In just over two months, he had dealt with several similar incidents, including the Storm Church’s “vicarious punisher” turning into a monster, Hood Organ losing control, and Old Neil being contaminated by the “Hidden Sage”. Although the overall number was small, it left a deep impression on him, engraving some behavioral rules into his marrow.
Therefore, combining the past situation, he analyzed from the news of rats going crazy and biting people that the “thief” pathway demigod was close to getting out of control, he didn’t hesitate, and immediately used the illusion spell downstairs, and got the corroboration from Hazel, then, he didn’t wait, and didn’t think to prepare for a day or two more, but just went to do a divination above the gray fog, and had a general plan, and then started to work on the plan. a rough program, and then launched into action.
To him, this kind of thing was like putting out a fire!
In addition, Klein himself has long wanted to remove that “thief” pathway demigod, because the other party in Hazel body to show the malicious intent is too obvious, and also want to lure the “magician” lady to the surface of the treasure of the substance of the trap, if not at that time the level is not enough, the strength is too different, and afraid of causing unnecessary problems, he would not have been able to do so. If it wasn’t for the fact that there was not enough level, too much difference in strength, and the fear of causing unnecessary accidents, he would have had the intention to take action before.
Because of this, after confirming that the “thief” pathway demigod status, he began to clear according to the predetermined plan.
His first stage goal was to lure the enemy out of the Elk Manor, lest the incomplete mythological creature form displayed by the other party before death would affect ordinary people, and the result was not bad, using himself as the bait, and achieved his goal, except that the round of air cannon fire failed to resolve the battle, allowing the “Stealer” pathway demigod to escape to the shrubbery, and parasitized into a large tree. The “Stealer” pathway demigod escaped to the bushes and parasitized in a big tree.
Originally, Klein had a second stage plan, and even prepared remedial measures if he couldn’t successfully purify the target, but Amon suddenly appeared, so he could only interrupt all the plans and flee without hesitation – Klein’s remedial measures were to get a secret puppet out of the battlefield, and write a letter to Patrick Blaine, the experimental demigod of the Spirit Order, to help him out. This “undead” should already have a certain ability to travel through the spirit world, if there are still accidents, then summon the messenger lady, work first and pay later.
As the memory floated, Klein responded to Leonard’s question with a sigh:
”Secret.”
After a second’s pause, he volunteered:
”Why didn’t you find a chance to inform the news of Amon’s detachment’s arrival in Berkland before, to inform the Church of Darkness?”
Leonard hurriedly made an explanation, putting “If Amon’s main body arrives, there will be a divine descent” “Amon can see the corresponding change in fate through the death of his bilocation, so as to find the source of the perturbation, and grasp the approximate range of activities of the manipulator behind the scenes” “Amon’s style is to hide a dozen, dozens, or even hundreds of doppelgangers around a superficial doppelganger” “Amon’s doppelgangers can parasitize all kinds of spiritual creatures, and even if you are not a demigod, you won’t be able to notice if you’re parasitized” and so on, and so on, were roughly described once.
At the end of the day, Leonard informed Klein in detail about the example the old man cited of stealing away destiny.
It made Klein’s back shiver, and he was glad that he hadn’t recklessly dealt with Amon last time, otherwise, Mr. “Fool” might have been replaced.
No wonder Leonard did not report …… Amon’s appearance so boldly, it turned out to be fishing, and there are more doppelgangers hidden in the shadows, and can be parasitized in the air in the tiny organisms …… This is just to think about it, let a person’s scalp tingling ah, I can not manipulate creatures to the extent of this at present. The creatures I can currently manipulate simply can’t reach this level, the tiniest they are, the less visible the thread of the spirit body is, quite special …… Hey, can’t utilize the power of the church anymore, unless there’s someone who should report this matter without any problem in any way to do so …… Klein A pang of regret in his heart, the horror of Amon became a few more points clearer, and his impression became more and more profound.
In his opinion, Leonard would have been a good candidate to report to the Church of Darkness, but with Palles Zoroaster parasitized inside his body, he simply didn’t dare to expose his existence to Amon’s gaze.
In addition, the “Inverted Man” could also take this responsibility, but could not give Amon a convincing source of information, which means that there is a problem, worthy of in-depth investigation.
Choice after choice flashed through Klein’s mind, eventually settling on himself, on the identities of Klein Moretti and Germaine Sparrow!
”As a Dark Favored One, it made perfect sense for me to inform the Church of Amon’s presence in Berkland; Amon couldn’t even pick a fight;
”And as a ‘Trickster Mage’ who fought with that ‘Stealer’ pathway demigod tonight and saw Amon with his own eyes, to know that the alter ego of this ‘Angel of Time’ had come to Bekrande, it was also normal that it would not make Amon suspicious, at the same time, because it was the family member of the darkness, the probability that Amon, who had only lost a little bit of his detachment, would not retaliate, after all, what greeted K was likely to be a trap, a divine descent!
”It’s a great feeling to have a backstage …… However, all the gifts of fate will be marked with a good price in the dark ……” Klein quickly had a preliminary grasp of the matter.
Then, out of habit, he switched positions and began to think about tonight’s events from Amon’s point of view:
”Amon is certainly no stranger to ‘Trickster Mages’, and can judge my pathway from just the two points of manipulating secret puppets and swapping positions;
”Since Amon allowed a ‘Trickster’ to escape, he must have been prepared for his whereabouts to be exposed, and even hoped to draw in the target he was trying to find;
”I used the appearance of Germaine Sparrow, but that doesn’t mean anything, the appearance of a ‘faceless man’ is the least of my concerns …… Well, then, how would Amon judge me? A powerful man who walks in the darkness, a demigod of the ‘Diviner’ pathway …… Because of the Church of Darkness, the Mistery’s control of recipes, materials and mermaids, wild ‘Trickster Mage’ There are almost none, and the descendants of the Antigonus family have died out, so a ‘Trickster’ is either someone from the Secret Society or a hidden surrogate secretly cultivated by the Church of Darkness ……
”Add to that the location of Berkland, and the answer cries out ……
”Based on these reasons, it’s not difficult for Amon to conclude that he’s about to be traced by the Church of Darkness and launch a purge operation, and it’s not normal for me to report it as he expected it to be not reported ……
”Well, k will definitely hide for a while now, even if he replaces the identity of that ‘Stealer’ pathway demigod, he won’t come to Berklund Street in a short period of time!”
Having a judgment, Klein’s heart was instantly settled, as he would have plenty of time to prepare!
”You, what are your thoughts?” Seeing that Klein was silent for a long time after listening to his description, Leonard couldn’t help but open his mouth to inquire.
Klein retrieved his thoughts and asked without answering:
”What does Palles Zoroaster suggest about this?”
”k says that if you want to deal with Amon’s doppelganger in Bekrand, you must first obtain the hidden blessing.” Leonard said truthfully.
隐秘的庇佑 …… Palles Zoroaster This is a fair test, half of the symbols on the back of the Fool’s chair belong to the Hidden …… I use the The “Paper Angel” plus the “Red Priest” card plus the mysterious spatial power above the gray mist that can be pried, should have no problem interfering with Amon’s doppelganger, but it may not be possible to stop K’s main body from prying into the destiny of the… …However, I still have the identity of the Night’s Favorite, and another title of the goddess is “Mother of Secrets”…… Clearing out Amon’s doppelganger is considered payment. “or is it a gift? It feels like both …… Klein thought about it and replied in a hushed voice:
”Tell Palles Zoroaster that I am a Hidden Favorite, and I will try to pray for help.”
He was referring to the “Hidden Mother’s” dependents, but Palles Zoroaster would surely understand it as the “Fool’s” dependents.
