Part 5 The Red Priests Chapter 85 Possibilities
The sky lit up with a flash of orange, and estate after estate on the north bank of the Tassock River awoke one after the other in the morning mist.
Tall, obese Flammie Cage arrived at the guest bedroom where Chunas Korg slept last night and knocked on the door, ready to join the Deputy Director of MI9 for breakfast.
But there was no answer inside.
”The Major General has gone to the dining room?” Flammy Cage turned around in slight confusion and left the floor.
It was only when breakfast was over that all of them realized that Chunas Korg was gone, and they were led by Dawn Dantes to the outside of that guest bedroom, where they watched as Richardson, the deacon of the manor, took the key and opened the door.
Inside, it was empty.
”Does Rear Admiral Colgate have a penchant for morning walks?” Senator Macht inquired suspiciously as he pinched both cheekbones.
Without hesitation, Flammy Cage shook his head:
”No.”
”Did you hear any commotion last night?” Portland Momont, President of Bakerland Technical University, looked around the room and asked.
Councilman Macht thought back:
”No. It’s quiet here, perfect for a vacation.”
Next to him, Hazel looked inside the room with mild curiosity, but couldn’t think of a possible scenario.
At that point, Flammy Cage offered his own speculation:
”Major General Korg is an important figure in the military, and there are often unexpected matters that need to be handled by him, so perhaps he left the manor early and returned to Berkland.”
The steam-powered car tycoon was obviously trying hard to make things seem less serious.
He seemed to know a little, or at least be able to guess that Chunas Korg had his own purpose for being at the Maege Manor …… Klein listened to their conversation, and with a stony expression, he said to the butler, Walter, and the deacon of the manor, Richardson:
”Ask the servants in the manor if they saw Major General Colger last night or this morning.
”If not, send someone back to Berkland and visit Major General Colger’s family to inform them of this matter and let them decide whether the police need to be called immediately.”
After giving his orders, Klein stroked his graying temples and addressed Senator Macht and the other guests:
”Things can’t be clarified for a while, maybe Major General Colger really just left on an urgent matter, we can’t delay everyone’s vacation because of this, how about this, we’ll continue with the hunting arrangements and return when there’s an arrival of the police.”
Because Major General Chunas Colger’s companion, Flammy Cage, had given the reason of urgency and was very convincing, Councilor Macht and the others agreed with Dawn Dantes and left the place one after another.
Hazel walked at the end, looked at the guest bedroom where Major General Chunus Korg was staying and the room next to it, and always felt that there was something not quite right, and subconsciously wanted to use her “decryption scholars” ability to reconstruct the situation there.
However, a strong fear emerged in the depths of her heart, and she didn’t know what she was afraid of, so she finally gave up this plan.
She vaguely felt that she had some experience in similar matters, and those experiences told her not to look at things she shouldn’t see, and not to listen to voices she shouldn’t hear.
When the guests and servants had all left the floor, a thick carpet carrying a coffee table in the room next to the guest bedroom where Qunas was suddenly moved.
It drew itself out from under the sofa and coffee table a little bit, without causing much movement.
Immediately afterward, the tawny color of it stood upright, revealing the other side.
It was blood and flesh that had solidified as if it were solidified!
Between the writhing and reorganization of the flesh and blood, the carpet quickly transformed back into a person, a young man of hybrid appearance.
This was Dawn Dantes’ personal manservant, Njoni.
And now following Dawn Dantes was Chunas Korg, they topped the same face and had the same build!
For Klein, there was no need for “Winner” Njoni to disguise himself in such a way, it would be simpler and safer to become something else, to blend in among the servants, and to interfere with their senses with illusions, so that they wouldn’t be able to realize that there was an extra person. But “playing” is still important to a demigod, it is one of the keys to speeding up the digestion of magic potion and fighting against the tendency of losing control and madness, so Klein will deliberately seek “trickery” in the details of many things.
Of course, he didn’t want to hurt innocent people, even if he created a weird and scary atmosphere, he also tried not to let other people notice, so that they wouldn’t be overly frightened and left with psychological trauma.
That kind of weird and scary atmosphere is mainly used to let himself, so that the magic potion in his body to produce identity, which will undoubtedly speed up the progress of his digestion, but the lack of feedback from the audience means that the “play” is not complete enough, “trick mage” magic potion digestion speed The speed of digestion of the magic potion of the “Trickster” will definitely not be as fast as expected. Even after doing so many things and playing so many times, Klein doesn’t think that he will be able to make it to Sequence 3 within this year.
……
Inside a two-bedroom rental house in the East End of Bakerland.
Hugh sat in a chair that wasn’t smooth enough, staring out the window in a daze, his expression rarely somber.
Forsyth took a drink of water and walked across to Hugh and sat down, blocking her view:
”You seem to have lost your motivation for a moment?
”Is it because that answer left you wondering what to do next? Is it because the King is beyond your reach?”
Hugh’s eyes twitched, slowly coming to life as he said:
”Whether it’s restoring my father’s honor or taking revenge, there’s such little hope when it comes to facing a king that I simply can’t think of a way to accomplish anything like that ……”
”That’s because you’re still too weak, when you have Sequence 4 and become a demigod, you’ll realize that there are ways, it’s just more dangerous!” Forsyth cracked up in a motivational way, “Also, you can use others, like that monitor of Sherman’s, she also wants to know who Viscount Sturford’s allegiance is to, and is definitely interested in the king’s secrets.”
”Sherman ……,” Hugh repeated the name, his mental state suddenly restored.
On the table to their side was a copper-green cross and a vertical-eyed, ghostly blue jewel.
The outside of that gem was highlighted with thread after thread of filigree, the very same extraordinary properties that had precipitated out of Sherman’s death, and it softened everything around it with a little more beauty, though its light could only contract to a very small degree due to the presence of that copper-green cross.
”That monitor was one of the men who killed Sherman.” Hugh said rather seriously.
They had already found a place to bury Sherman, and had been requited by Forsyth by turning over “Lemanor’s Travel Notes.”
Folth nodded instantly:
”Yes, and that’s what drove her to investigate the king’s secrets, to touch the potential risks.
”I thought you said she was likely monitoring our previous residence? Then let’s find a chance to return there in disguise, throw a piece of paper inside the letterbox, and write that Viscount Sturford is loyal to King George III, who is hiding a great secret, and in this way, I believe that that person should be able to see it.”
Hugh thought carefully and nodded solemnly:
”Good.”
After exchanging what to do next, Forsyth stood up and pointed to the copper-green cross, saying:
”We have been helped by Mr. ‘Fool’ many times, it’s time to show our intentions, I plan to sacrifice it to Mr. ‘Fool’ now, do you have no problem with that?”
”No.” Hugh replied without hesitation.
……
Maege Manor, it was another evening, and since the news passed back from the family of Chunas Colgate was to wait a little longer, it was that the Deputy Director of MI9 who often behaved in a similar manner, involving national security secrets, so without panic and panic, Councilor Macht and the rest of the people held a barbecue dinner unlike the usual one on the back lawn of the manor, using the animals that they had hunted themselves.
Watching the gentlemen roll up their sleeves and personally get busy at the grill, watching the ladies go over to help from time to time, and watching the children run around, eager to try, Klein held a glass of Maego Manor’s homegrown sweet white wine and sat down on a white wooden chair, a pronounced smile hanging at the corner of his mouth.
Beside him, the hybrid-looking valet Enyuni stood straight, waiting for orders.
And somewhere in a room in the main house of the manor, a pair of eyes was quietly watching below, and it was attributed to a man exactly like Njoni.
The evening breeze was blowing, and Klein was about to rise and head to the grill to perform what was called a Dixie-flavored roast, when he suddenly saw a figure dart out in front of him.
It was Arianna in simple robes and a bark sash.
This hidden servant looked at Dawn Dantes and said:
”There is nothing special within that underground ruin ……”
K then described what he and the three archbishops had seen there, as well as what Prince Grove Augustus of Sunia had said, picking up the highlights.
This does not make sense ah …… The first thing that appeared within Klein’s mind was skepticism.
Because Viscount Stephod’s side of the “White Virgin” Katrina to provide help, this clearly shows that the king’s faction and the witch sect did not break the connection.
On the premise of the Beckland haze incident, they still have contact with the Witch Cult, this is definitely not something that can be explained by selfishly wanting to monopolize the relics of the “Blood Emperor”.
With such in-depth cooperation, wouldn’t the Cult of the Witch and the Psychological Alchemy Society ask for a share of the harvest?
If that was the case, why didn’t they go directly to the three major churches?
Klein intuitively thought that the problem with the relic hadn’t really been discovered, and he wondered if the news had leaked out halfway through, allowing the king’s side to make preparations.
”With Ms. Arianna around, the possibility of the other side using divination prophecy and the like to find out that something is wrong can be ruled out ……
”From the time I resolved Chunas Korg, to the joint action of the three major churches, the number of people who could know about this matter would not be more than ten, and all of them are the top level of their respective churches, so how could it be possible for the information to leak ……
”Viscount Stepford had a problem that caused the people inside the underground ruins to activate the emergency plan? No, his position is not yet at this level, and even Chunas Korg doesn’t know the specifics, let alone him. He was also in charge of approaching the Witch Sect and dealing with some peripheral things, he might not even know about the underground relics …… Klein’s thoughts electrified as he searched for the cause.
He first ruled out the possibility that the matter of Viscount Stepford caused the other side to have preparations, after all, the death of that palace chief of guards wasn’t that important and crucial.
In this way, the possibilities that could explain the whole thing were few and far between, either someone who knew the secret halfway through had leaked the situation either intentionally or unintentionally based on a certain reason, or the seemingly normal state of Chunas Korg had been discovered by whomever had found out the end of the story, but Klein hadn’t been aware of it at all.
Working with them is also the Psychic Alchemy Society …… Could one of my thoughts have been read and given away the secret? But I have the Gray Mist, no matter what, it will be a bit abnormal, just like when I faced that “audience” demigod with Anderson before …… The Psycho-Alchemy Society originated from the legacy of Hermes, and Hermes is… …Thinking about this, Klein’s pupils suddenly dilated slightly.
He instinctively stopped himself from thinking deeper, but after glancing at Arianna, he lowered his heart and opened his mouth to ask:
”Is this place very secretive?”
”Very secretive.” Arianna responded calmly.
People came and went behind K. No one noticed K.
Klein exhaled, thoughts finally taking shape in his mind:
Rossel the Great said in his diary that the members of that old hidden organization were all big shots ……
So, is there a possibility that some of the top brass of the three churches are members of the “Dusk Hermits”?
And could it be that the relics that Arianna and the other archbishops saw were not real relics, but relics imagined by Adam?
