Volume 7 The Inverted Man Chapter 13 The Layout
Retracting his eyes, Klein turned his gaze to the portion of extraordinary properties that had precipitated out of the body of Paulie Delrau.
It consisted of wisps of a pale mist, as if it were a mass of less-than-real, grayish brain from a dream.
”He thought the ‘Garden of Eden’ was the safest, so he placed his body here, operating in the outside world as a different identity? Who knows, Hermes that should be used as a defense barrier turned his back on this place, if there is a real angel watching the ‘Garden of Eden’, giving full play to the special nature of this spiritual city, there is no way for me to ‘defraud’ the rules so easily, and successfully invade the …… “Klein muttered to himself in his mind while making a random wish to accelerate the precipitation and condensation of the extraordinary characteristics.
Snap! He snapped his fingers and realized his wish.
Then, he took up the Dream Weaver’s extraordinary properties and the things that could be used as auxiliary materials, took off the “arrogance” mask on his face, and took a step away from the “Garden of Eden”.
With his departure, the remaining parts of the city collapsed and merged into the boundless ocean of the collective subconscious.
From then on, the legend of the Garden of Eden would appear in many dreams, and eventually be portrayed by some artists, made into a story, and spread far and wide.
The end of all the stories would inevitably be the same: the destruction of the Garden of Eden.
Back to the Hall family manor on the terrace, Klein looked at the opposite side has adjusted the psychological state of the “justice” lady, “dream weaver” extraordinary characteristics, the corresponding materials and his from the second “blasphemy stone tablet She handed over the magic potion recipe she saw on the second “desecration tablet”.
Before Audrey could speak, he said in a low voice:
”You can back out until you are officially promoted.”
Audrey accepted Mr. World’s gift and nodded her head silently, indicating that she would seriously consider it.
Wearing a fine straw hat, she then saw Germaine Sparrow turn and walk towards the edge of the terrace, disappearing step by step.
……
After eliminating the traces and concealing the clues, Klein skillfully utilized the “grafting” ability and the special features of the “Source Castle” to return to Birkeland and appeared in front of Hugh “Judgement”, who was taking a break from work.
This MI9 colonel who was chewing on an apple immediately put down the food in his hand and wiped his mouth with a paper napkin while standing up:
”Yes, is there something wrong?”
She discreetly did not address the other party as Mr. World, nor did she call out the name Germaine Sparrow.
Klein nodded gently:
”Mr. ‘Fool’ asked me to ask you if you wish to obtain the magic potion formula, extraordinary properties and auxiliary materials of the Sequence 4 ‘Law Mage’?”
Hugh frowned slightly, not seeing the slightest bit of joy, and asked rather gruffly:
”Then, what is the price?”
Klein nodded approvingly:
”The end is coming, and many changes are beginning to take place, and Mr. ‘Fool’ has foreseen some things as a result.”
”When that time comes, K will most likely fall asleep again, and as K’s favored one, K’s left hand, I will not be spared. The price you need to pay is to follow the oracle left behind by Mr. ‘Fool’ when that situation does arise, and do certain attempts that may be dangerous or easy, complicated or simple, long or short, to awaken Mr. ‘Fool’ .”
As a King of Angels level “soothsayer”, and as the owner of the “Source Castle”, Klein was able to make some kind of prophecy a long time ago, and recently, he even saw some blurry images, and had a certain amount of inspiration, so his thoughts weren’t too clear, but he definitely had the sense to Doing all sorts of setups.
Now I’m the real “God’s stick”…… he mentally spat out a sentence to himself.
Before the “judgment” Hugh opened his mouth, he added:
”You can choose to refuse, you are not the only choice.”
Trusting that Mr. “World” would not say the opposite in such a matter, Hugh did not answer immediately, and considered the matter seriously.
If there was no Armageddon, she felt that she would have refused, although demigods were powerful and terrifying, able to dominate a battlefield and dictate the destiny of others, they were creatures that truly possessed the nature of divinity, but to her, becoming a Sequence 4 was not so urgent.
As a Serial 5 “Knight of Discipline”, as a colonel of MI9, her strength could ensure that she could fulfill most of her missions, and her salary plus various extra incomes were enough for her and her family to maintain a good and decent life.
Even if she is in danger, she can get enough assistance from the official forces, and she can also prepare “Lemanno’s travel notes” in advance and ask her friend Forsyth to protect her secretly.
In addition, her wish to investigate the cause of her father’s death and restore his honor has also been fulfilled.
So, in any case, she does not need to pay too big a price for Sequence 4, and besides, it is not impossible to get a chance from MI9 in the future.
Of course, Hugh had no way of knowing how long that future would take.
Whether it’s from Mr. Fool or the various prophecies that I’ve deliberately collected using my position, all of them clearly or vaguely state that the end is near …… only sixteen years away …… Hugh! Subconsciously turned sideways and looked at the second floor.
Under the current living conditions, Mom will certainly live until sixteen years later, when she is not too old, and there is also Mr. Moon to provide a variety of medicines to keep her healthy …… Sixteen years later, Luo is the prime of life, at the peak of his career …… Forsyth may already have Sequence 3, in order to cope with the end of the world, seeking hope, busy running, and I can not help …… Hugh slowly retracted his gaze, expression of stony silence for a while.
Then she looked at Germaine Sparrow, the World, and solemnly nodded:
”Good.”
”You can always set up a ceremony and make a wish to Mr. ‘Fool’, and k will grant your wish.” Without shivering, Klein simply explained.
His “Law Mage” extraordinary characteristics and magic potion formula came from Crescent City’s sacrifice, and of course, he also gave the “General without Pupils” seal to those believers.
After Hugh made a decision, he stopped worrying about this matter and said:
”Wendell seems to have gone to ‘Utopia’ again, but strangely enough, he returned that night and did not testify in court.”
”That puzzles and worries him.”
”Tell him not to worry about it anymore, everyone in ‘Utopia’ was buried by a natural disaster.” Klein finished, turned and walked into the spirit world.
……
On the outskirts of Beckland East, inside a cemetery.
Klein quietly looked at the cabinets that held the urns, not averting his eyes for a long time.
After a while, he walked slowly to the shade of an unoccupied tree, took out the historical projection of the “Adventurer’s Harmonica”, brought it to his mouth, and blew a little.
Carrying four blonde hair and red-eyed head, wearing a gloomy and complicated long dress Renette Tignicole immediately came out from the void.
Without waiting for the messenger lady to speak, Klein took the initiative to ask:
”The major churches are preparing to besiege the Rose School and intend to unite with you.”
”Is there anything I can offer to help?”
He knew about this matter from “Star” Leonard and “Moon” Emlyn.
The four blonde, red-eyed heads of Renate Tynecol spoke in turn:
”For the time being ……” “No ……” “It needs to be ……” “Wait ……”
”After locking down ……” “the target ……” “after ……” “Then ……”
Meaning, with the “Mother Tree of Desire”, “Primordial Moon” and other external gods and the “Bound God”, the king of angels, interfering with divination, prophecy and providing blessings, the demigods of the Rose School are not so easy to find, and it takes some time to find them. The demigods of the School of the Rose are not that easy to find, they need to spend a certain amount of time and adopt various strategies. Also, even the “Magic Mirror” Arodes, does not dare to peer in this situation, otherwise, I can summon its historical pore image …… Klein thought about it and said:
”If there is a directly related item as a medium, I can lock the corresponding target.”
When the time comes, use the power of the “Source Fortress” to pierce the cover.
”Good!” Renette Tignicole’s four bright-looking heads bobbed up and down at the same time.
Klein had nothing else to do and saw that he was ready to let the messenger lady go back.
He was about to ask in a joking tone, “Is there a charge for this summoning?” when inspiration suddenly struck him, and his entire being fell silent.
After a few seconds, he raised his hand and took out a gold coin from the interior of the “Source Castle”.
This was one of the five gold coins that had been infused with the aura of the “Source Castle” and had some divine properties.
”The postage for this time.” Klein smiled and handed over the gold coin in his hand.
”This time ……” “No ……” After the two blonde red-eyed heads that Renette Tignicole was carrying had finished , the remaining two did not fill in the words.
K had a powerful inspiration, and K seemed to sense something.
In the next second, one of the two blonde red-eyed heads that hadn’t spoken raised and bit the gold coin that was at Klein’s fingertips.
”There.” Klein said with a smile as he withdrew his hand.
Then he casually asked:
”Are Ms. Sharon and Maric still in Berkland?”
”At ……,” Miss Messenger informed Klein of her students’ current address.
……
Inside a house, Marich sat at a long table, skillfully playing cards with his walkers.
Suddenly, the figure of Sherlock Moriarty appeared in an empty chair, placing his hat and nonchalantly taking the bottom card from a walker.
Maric glanced up at him, his lips moving but ultimately not opening.
He let the walker acting as the dealer continue to deal the cards.
With that, Klein joined them, playing hand after hand, losing and winning.
In the corner next to him, Sharon, dressed in a long black court dress and a small, delicate fedora, surfaced at some point, resting her face in one hand and quietly observing the card game.
After about two hours of play, Klein stood up and formally saluted Miss Sharon and Maric.
Then, with a laugh, he put on his hat and took a step toward the door and disappeared.
……
Deep in the spirit world, outside the thin mist that hid the city of Calderon, Klein, who had already received three treatments, appeared.
