Part 5. the red priests chapter 62 – distribution

　　A few minutes later, Germaine Sparrow’s Klein and Audrey “Justice” walked out of 39 Birklund Street and headed for the other places where the parasites lived.

　　After a few silent steps, Klein suddenly looked ahead and spoke:

　　”Situations like this are not uncommon among the Wild Extraordinary, and not having proper guidance often means that one has been walking on the edge of a cliff and could fall off at any time.”

　　Audrey let out a “hmmm” and said after a few seconds:

　　”I know, I’m not as, well …… as I used to be.”

　　She deliberated for a moment, hooking her mouth slightly as if she were laughing at herself to find the right adjective:

　　”Naive.”

　　”Phew ……” she then exhaled without disguising it, again looking ahead, “Back in June of last year, if I had been aware that the Mystic World was as cruel and terrible as it was, then I likely wouldn’t have put in a request to become an Extraordinaire again .”

　　Klein slightly tilted his head sideways and looked at the noble lady’s face, asking in a seemingly casual manner:

　　”Then, if you are now given a chance to be able to completely get rid of the Mysterious World, will you accept it?”

　　Audrey was stunned for a moment and slowly pursed her lips and said:

　　”No. ……”

　　After giving this answer, she seemed to relax a little, smiled, and said to herself:

　　”Under the premise of being clear about the cruelty and horror of the mysterious world, the me before June last year would have given up on becoming an Extraordinary, while the me of this year would not.

　　”This, perhaps, is the price of growth.”

　　”I understand what you mean.” Klein’s pace was not fast or slow as he continued to move forward, and turned to say, “After those who were parasitized were thoroughly purified, some of them would spit out the ‘Worm of Time’, which can be used to make the ‘Luck Stealer’ charm, which belongs to the demigod level that can switch the fate of both the enemy and us in a relatively short period of time, at that time, I will give you one of them as today’s consultation fee.”

　　Audrey was just about to open her mouth to refuse, but suddenly fell silent again, then gently nodded her head and said:

　　”Good.”

　　As soon as her words left her mouth, she suddenly paused and glanced sideways at Germaine Sparrow, smiling with a slightly complicated expression:

　　”I understand why you asked that question just now.”

　　Klein let out a low laugh and did not make a positive reply.

　　Audrey retracted her gaze, her mood seemed to lighten up for a moment, and said in a casual manner:

　　”Having participated in the disciplinary action only at noon, and then coming in the afternoon to deal with the follow-up related to Amon, today is really a ‘Tarot Day’ ah ……”

　　She made a double entendre and lamented very subtly.

　　In her opinion, noon was the time for the Tarot Club’s “Moon”, “Stars”, “Justice”, “Judgment” and “Magician” to meet. “Magician”, and in the afternoon, the “World” and “Justice” of the Tarot Club were participating in the Amon’s split removal program from different angles, so this day was indeed very monumental, and could be considered a day of some sort. This day is indeed very meaningful, it is a “Tarot Day” in a sense.

　　Klein nodded, agreeing with Ms. Justice’s words, but didn’t tell her that Leonard “Star” was also involved in the afternoon’s action, and was the main force.

　　”Amon’s doppelganger should be hard to deal with, right?” Audrey finally found the opportunity to ask the question.

　　She stared at Germaine Sparrow, her turquoise eyes were undisguised curiosity.

　　Klein laughed and said:

　　”If it were only up to me, the Germaine Sparrow you met might have been Amon in essence.”

　　”Stealing fate and identity?” Audrey asked rhetorically with some dawning realization.

　　Klein let out a “hmmm”:

　　”Details afterward, anyway, this time, in order to remove all of Amon’s doppelgangers in Berkland, we sent out angels.

　　”In the future, if you encounter Amon’s doppelganger, absolutely do not think that you have the means to cope with it, and immediately look for a chance to pray, well, k’s characteristics are that he likes to wear a monocle, and he likes to do thriller-type pranks ……”

　　An angel has appeared …… I don’t know if it’s the “Consul of Death” or an angel from the realm of “Fate” or…. …Audrey looked up at the sky, only to see the clouds stagnant, without the slightest movement, as if the props in the dark background.

　　Like a student listening to a teacher, she nodded solemnly and seriously:

　　”I will remember.”

　　The two walked on, sometimes in silence, sometimes in seemingly casual conversation, until they entered 160 Birklund Street.

　　After several more minutes, inside the sitting room of the Hazel house.

　　Senator Macht and the others suddenly felt a strong impulse to raise their hands to their seats, clasp them together in front of their mouths and noses, and begin to pray and chant the name of the “Goddess of the Night” in reverence.

　　I don’t know how long, they all coughed, coughing violently, coughing tears and snot have flowed out.

　　Cough! Cough! Cough!

　　Unconsciously, they coughed out a worm with twelve translucent links.

　　As soon as this worm fell to the ground, it disappeared, so much so that no one noticed it.

　　The same thing happened to the rest of Birklund Street, but it all quickly returned to normal, while the gloom in mid-air had somehow faded and the clouds flowed with the wind again.

　　At the sound of her parents’ coughs, Hazel slowly awoke, confused as to why she had fallen asleep on the sofa in the middle of afternoon tea.

　　She felt like she should be in a good mood today, but she couldn’t squeeze a smile out of her face, as if there was an unspeakable sadness and pain confronting her.

　　When she saw her father and mother casting a concerned gaze, not only was she not moved, but she slightly flinched and trembled, like the kind of person who is introverted and self-absorbed and not used to contact with others.

　　Hazel was well aware that this was not her character, but she could not control her reaction.

　　However, she didn’t find it strange or puzzling, and continued to enjoy her afternoon tea snacks.

　　Councilor Macht, Lady Liana did the same, always feeling that something was vague and could not be recalled.

　　……

　　160 Birklund Street, inside the master bedroom with the curtains drawn.

　　A silhouette was suddenly outlined across the coffee table, and it was Arianna, the leader of the ascetics dressed in simple robes, a bark belt, and bare feet, the Abbess of the Black Night Monastery, and the head of the thirteen Archbishops of the Church of the Black Night.

　　In this lady’s eyes, the sideburned Dawn Dantes was leaning slightly forward off the couch, with a full nine linked, transparent bugs on the coffee table in front of her.

　　”Good afternoon, Ms. Arianna.” Klein said with a solemn curtsy, “Thanks to the help you provided, Amon’s doppelgangers in Berkland have all been removed, so you can pick your share of this loot.”

　　He had arranged a secret puppet next to each of the parasitized people, and used illusion to bring back these “Worms of Time”.

　　Hearing his words, Arianna nodded four times clockwise on her chest and responded reverently:

　　”Praise the Goddess.”

　　Without any excuses or politeness, she stretched out her right hand and let the two Worms of Time fly up and fall into her palm.

　　”Amon will surely have some guesses, and you should be equally careful in your follow-up.” Arianna simply said a sentence before her figure disappeared inch by inch, as if being erased.

　　Seeing this archbishop leave, Klein sat down while obediently picking up a pen and paper to write a letter to Leonard Mitchell.

　　He wanted to ask the “worm of the hour” in addition to the ability to create “stealer” spell, what other effects can be made!

　　He thought that he could not make all the remaining Worms of Time into “Luck Stealers”, for that would be too monotonous, easily targeted, and unable to deal with different situations, so he had to give full consideration to other ways of applying them.

　　–Using the “Worm of Time” as a carrier, and using patterns and signs that are different from the symbols of the “Fools” to trigger the power, the corresponding effect will be different from that of the “Stealers”, and the effect of the “Stealers” will be different from that of the “Fools”. The corresponding effect would probably be different from that of the “Luck Stealer”, and in this regard, Palles Zoroaster was an expert.

　　After writing the letter, Klein took out his adventurer’s harmonica, brought it to his mouth, and blew.

　　Renate Tynicol, carrying four blonde red-eyed heads, came out of the void, and after a short pause, her eight eyes looked at the remaining seven “Worms of the Hour” placed on the coffee table.

　　The messenger lady looked at them for a full three seconds before retracting her gaze and biting the letterhead and gold coin handed to her by Klein.

　　”It’s still No. 7 Pinterest Street.” Klein said succinctly.

　　The three remaining heads of Renette Tignicole responded in turn:

　　”Later ……” “This kind of ……” “Thing ……”

　　”Also ……” “You can ……” “call me at ……”

　　”The reward ……” “is ……” “the spoils of war ……”

　　Klein froze and said:

　　”Okay.”

　　He waited until the messenger lady rejoined the spirit world and disappeared from the room before he frowned slightly and muttered silently to himself:

　　”Since she recognized the ‘Worm of Time’, she should understand that such a battle might develop to the angelic level ……

　　”She’s not scared at all ……

　　”Miss Messenger is stronger than I thought?”

　　……

　　At 7 Pinkster Street, Leonard received Klein’s letter from Renette Tinicol.

　　With a bit of excitement still lingering in him, he couldn’t wait to unfold the letterhead and read it quickly.

　　When that messenger left, he immediately lowered his voice and said:

　　”Old man, there should be other charm making methods, right?”

　　Just now, Palles Zoroaster had given him two “Worms of Time” from Amon as a reward for today’s adventure.

　　Inside Leonard’s mind, the slightly aged voice replied with a smile:

　　”Of course, after I sleep for a while and digest this harvest, I will teach you, it won’t take long, also, don’t go to Birklund Street again recently.”

　　”Why?” Leonard asked, slightly surprised.

　　Palles Zoroaster chuckled:

　　”Amon’s doppelgangers in Berklund have all been exterminated, this is not a small matter, and the suspect who can do this to such an extent can only be one of so few, do you think that k will have a guess?”

　　This …… Leonard’s spirits tightened again.

　　Palles continued:

　　”However, there’s no need to worry too much, it’s impossible for his main body to enter Bakerland, and now that I’ve recovered quite a bit, I’m not so worried about k’s doppelganger, in addition, I’ve turned over from the memories of a small number of his doppelgangers to a piece of news mentioned by Flora Jacobs: somewhere in Bakerland, there is a hidden Jacobs’ family’s treasure.

　　”When the end of the year comes, we’ll look for another descendant of the Jacob family to cooperate in that gathering, open that treasure, and share the items inside equally, and by that time, even if Amon gathers a large number of doppelgangers and raises them to a level close to that of Sequence 1, he won’t be able to truly defeat me, hehe, and to balance things out, we can get Dawn Dantes involved in this matter as well. “
