Chapter 52: 52



June EveChapter 354: The Eve of June

Klein pretended to be a little weak and walked outside. Along the way, he could vaguely hear his servants in the distance quietly discussing things about him.

As for Dwayne Dantes's multiple illnesses in just a few weeks, it was obvious that the servants couldn't help but wonder if their master had some stubborn illness.

Some of the servants were worried about whether there would be any problems with Dwayne Dantes' health, while others were worried about whether they would lose their jobs because of this.

You know, in the Loen Empire, if servants cause the death of the nobles they serve, their "value" will be greatly reduced. Although sometimes it is not their own problem, it is obviously not something they can choose.

For example, after the death of Prince Edessak, Walter, who had been promoted by Prince Edessak, lost his job and was unable to find a suitable position for a long time.

The number of puppets that the "Puppet Master" can control is indeed limited, and unlike the "Parasite", there is also a range limit of 150 meters.

Although I can use my ability to control spirits between puppets to expand the range and cover the entire Backlund with my "Puppet Network", I sometimes have to go to the sea - at that time, I will have no way to control my puppets in Backlund and can only pretend to be sick.

Well, by then, Dwayne Dantès will not be considered a weak and sickly businessman by the many nobles of Backlund, right? When I first arrived, I could still explain this problem by saying that I was not used to the local climate, but I can't do that now. Otherwise, my value to "me" will be greatly reduced.

But no one wants to invest in someone who only has a few years left to live...

The corners of Klein's mouth twitched as he thought helplessly.

He took the clothes handed to him by his personal butler Richardson and put them on. He turned around and asked Mr. Asnia, the butler beside him:

"Do I have any plans for today?"

Asnia paused for a moment before telling Klein, "Your classes for this week have ended, including the classes you missed in the first two days. Your original plan was to go to the Creator Church in the afternoon to pray to the Creator."

Since today was already Sunday, Klein's classes for this week had already ended. Of course, as the price for pretending to be sick the previous two days, he spent the entire day yesterday catching up on the classes he had missed in the past few days.

After hearing Asnia explain today's arrangements, Klein nodded:

"In that case, please prepare an invitation letter to invite my neighbors, and send a special invitation letter to several counts whose banquets I have attended."

Klein, who was disguised as Dwayne Dantès, smiled and said, "I've been in Backlund for so long. I should organize a banquet and invite others to my banquet. Otherwise, it would seem that I am being too rude."

"I understand, Monsieur Dantès."

Asnia nodded meticulously:

"But if Mr. Dantes wants to invite the Count to a dinner party, my suggestion is..."

Listening to Asnia skillfully reporting the expenditures to him one by one, Klein felt a little numb. He smiled politely and performed a "Doll Swap" to exchange a doll that looked like Dwayne Dantes but had no Beyonder characteristics with his own.

In the afternoon, when Dwayne Dantes and his personal valet Richardson went to the Church of the Creator to pray, Klein hid in the dark and watched Richardson's increasingly devout expression as he prayed. He couldn't help but nod in approval.

It seemed that in a few months at most, Richardson would become a devout believer in the Creator. Although Dwayne Dantes had been "sick" for the past two days, it was precisely because of this that Klein watched Richardson, who had been free, report his whereabouts to Mr. Walter and then go to the monastery of the Creator Church to do half a day of volunteer work.

Compared to other beliefs of this era, the faith of the Church of the True Creator appears to be more civilized and advanced due to the support of the Goddess of Night and the joint improvements of several time travelers.

It's a pity that "The Fool" is still an evil god, otherwise I would let you believe in "The Fool". By then, I will be able to better perceive your psychological activities and show you a "miracle"...

Klein muttered as he changed his appearance, controlling the praying Dantes puppet to remain motionless while he walked into the Church of the Creator.

As soon as he arrived at the place where he had seen Ms. D last time, he saw a red-haired figure wandering around there.

When he saw Klein, Medici said "Oh" and pretended to be surprised.

"Hey, isn't this His Holiness the Pope? Why are you here?"

"Please don't be like this, sir… ahem, respected 'Angel of War'." Klein's mouth twitched slightly. He felt that Medici's humanity was much richer than that of Ouroboros, another angel king who served the true Creator that he had met.

Klein paused for a moment, waiting for Medici to look him up and down before continuing, "I came here to ask you about the High-Sequence Beyonders of the Hunter Path."

"Why do you want to know this? Do you still want to be a 'witch'? Don't let your desires blind you. You are not a 'hunter'..." Medici laughed and said a few provocative words: "Go on, what questions do you want to ask?"

"A few days ago, I found traces of High-Sequence Beyonders from the Hunter Path underground in Backlund." Klein paused,

"In a pool of blood (fire), I saw an iron-black skeleton soaked in the underground of Backlund..."

Before Klein could finish his words, Medici interrupted him:

"An iron-black skeleton? How big is He? What kind of blood pool is He in? Sitting on a throne, or..."

He... Klein recalled for a moment: "It's very big. I think when he stands up, he will be able to become the tallest thing in all of Backlund. I know that place. It was the largest shelter built by Aurora Corporation before the Great Cataclysm in Backlund."

"But even that place cannot accommodate His entire body. I can see flesh and blood pulsating on this skeleton."

Hearing Klein describing a dream-like scene, Medici raised his eyebrows:

"You got it through divination?"

Klein was silent for a while: "That's right."

"I suspect that He is George III - but I don't know whether this is a divination image or something that actually happened in the real world."

"Wow." After hearing that Klein got the answer from "divination", Medici was silent for a while and looked confused for a moment. But soon, he said to Klein "somewhat surprised":

"Then you didn't die? Did you receive the Lord's favor?"

"Haha, no matter who that skeleton is, he is most likely a red priest who is recovering and spying on the true God without dying. Your luck is pretty good."

Actually, I have a lot of experience in spying on true gods... Klein thought with a guilty conscience and continued to ask:

"So this 'Red Priest' is really George III?"

"Who knows? Maybe Alistair Tudor is alive again." Medici said casually, then laughed:

"It's hard to say. From what I know, this old bastard has left his own back-up plans for revival in various places, including Trier and Backlund."

"Of course, Salinger's failed attempt to contain the 'River of Everlasting Darkness' caused the uniqueness of the 'Red Priest' that Alistair Tudor once contained to be contaminated by the 'River of Everlasting Darkness'. Therefore, if He wants to be resurrected, He must bypass the hurdle of the 'River of Everlasting Darkness'."

Medici added,

"Of course, when it comes to the Sequence 1 characteristics of the Red Priest pathway, you can try to investigate the Soran and Einhorn families. As for the branch I left behind - ha, don't worry about them. They can't have the Conqueror characteristic. That characteristic has most likely been taken over by the current Red Priest."

"What do you mean?" Klein asked tentatively after a brief speculation,

"The other two 'Conqueror' characteristics are now in the Soran and Einhorn families, and also in the Feysac Empire and the Intis Empire?"

"That's right, that's right." Medici waved his hand and urged Klein in front of him:

"Alright, alright - before you ask, think carefully about what strange and bizarre things Backlund has gathered now, and what conspiracies are hidden in them."

"It can't be that there is no sequence to increase intelligence in your path, so you become so bad at thinking? Yes, the name at the top of your path is called 'Fool'..."

Medici clicked his tongue, and finally said to Klein:

"Investigate carefully. If you can't find the connection, come back to me. By the way, I've been busy playing hide-and-seek with Soran in the Intis Empire recently, and I haven't collected any information about these extraordinary events."

After saying this, he patted Klein on the shoulder:

"Think carefully before you do anything. There is a lot of knowledge that you cannot access now. I can only tell you this much. When you encounter something beyond your ability, you can pray directly to the Lord, and the Lord will help you."

"As for Amon's matter - you don't need to worry too much about this master's rebellious son. I will stay in Backlund recently and find an opportunity to kill a group of clones left by that little crow."

The Red Angel Evil Spirit, who had returned to the second level of Sequence, grinned and said with confidence.

Klein nodded with a wry smile and walked out of Medici's room again.

After the film closed, he used the ability of "Doll Swap" to exchange his position with the Dwayne Dantes doll, disguising himself as Dwayne Dantes himself.

He placed a figure with German Sparrow in the place where he was originally, pretending that this was his real body, and tried to see if he could fish.

After a moment, the Red Angel looked at Klein who was praying, nodded, and smacked his lips:

"The Lord asked me to take good care of him... Hey, you're not stupid, right? Although he is a favored by other gods, he pretends to be quite pious..."

"But why did the Lord ask me to take care of the child again…"

There were no other unexpected situations at Dwayne Dantès's dinner party. Apart from a few pirates who had been going out late and coming back early for the past few days, who had replenished the number of armored shadows summoned earlier to complete the blood sacrifice and resolve the worries, there were no extra Amons who came to visit.

During this period of time, Backlund also seemed unusually calm, which made Klein have some strange guesses. For example, was this the calm before the storm, or was there some undercurrent surging in it?

He also went deep into the sewers that he had investigated with divination many times. Fortunately, Klein did not meet Amon again during these many times, which made Klein feel more at ease.

However, what he divined in his dream was completely consistent with reality. In order to prevent himself from going deeper and awakening the iron-black skeleton that seemed to be recovering underground, Klein only moved away from the sewer that might have a high-sequence influence when he saw blood on the wall.

It would be fun to face the true God directly as a Sequence Four person.

The only thing that surprised Klein was that during this period, the royal family frequently increased the local army, as if preparing for war. Some nobles who were originally against the war have now become silent and are just waiting for the war to begin.

Although the three major churches called on the people to oppose the war, except for the Creator Church which established various charitable guilds, the Church of Night and the Church of Storm both vaguely condoned the royal conscription and did not put pressure on the royal family.

This also made Klein understand that perhaps war was really coming. The Feysac Empire's probing had appeared in Backlund many times, and the Loen military had also announced many times that it would capture Feysac Empire's spies.

The belief in the "God of Death" is booming in the southern continent, but the number of believers in the local Church of Darkness is declining. Because of this, the Church of the God of War has gradually become restless.

As time went by, summer gradually arrived in the Loen Empire, the climate gradually became warmer, and soon, June arrived.

Dwayne Dantès looked at the gold-stamped invitation that the servant had brought him, smiled slightly, and said elegantly to the servant in front of him,

"Please tell Earl Hall that I am deeply honored to be invited to Miss Hall's coming-of-age party."

 I was out all day today and just finished typing... I'm very sorry for the late update.

  I will probably update it tomorrow eveningMiss Audrey's Coming of Age CeremonyChapter 355: Miss Audrey's Coming of Age Ceremony

After spending a month in Backlund, Dwayne Dantès's behavior was clearly more like a traditional Loen gentleman.

Dwayne Dantès was wearing an exquisite suit, which he had asked Butler Walter to make for him at a tailor who specialized in making suits when he received the invitation from Earl Hall a week ago.

During this week, many nobles and businessmen like Dwayne Dantes, in order to show their importance to Miss Hall's coming-of-age ceremony, all used various methods to prepare to attend Miss Hall's birthday party in early June to show their respect for the earl and their intention to cooperate.

Under the guidance of the royal family, those who sacrificed for the country were given a more prominent position than before. Coincidentally, Alfred Hall, the second son of the Hall family who opposed the war, was seriously injured in the crusade against the Intis Empire with the emperor, so he has only now recovered to a normal mental and physical state.

This also makes Alfred himself more worthy of respect, and it is very likely that the Hall family will have a more prominent status and be more valued by the emperor than before.

Hazel was wearing an exquisite evening gown. She gently held her mother's arm and followed her smiling father and mother into the magnificent banquet hall.

She felt a little bored until she saw Dwayne Dantes and discovered that this mysterious demigod also came to congratulate Miss Audrey on her birthday. Then she felt a little surprised.

This was a mysterious and powerful person like her teacher. Why would such a powerful person come to attend the coming-of-age party of an ordinary noble lady?

Could it be that this lady was actually a powerful extraordinary person?

Hazel was a little interested, but she heard a voice not far away, which seemed to be announcing the arrival of a great man.

"Welcome Grand Duke Abraham!"

Grand Duke Abraham... the invisible "emperor" of the royal family, the executor of George III's decrees... one of the archbishops of the Storm Church mentioned by the teacher...

Seeing such a famous and powerful person appearing in front of her, Hazel couldn't help but feel excited, but also a little worried.

I heard that every archbishop on duty in a church in such a big city has the terrifying strength of Sequence Four or even Sequence Three. So, will the archbishop discover that I have extraordinary abilities?

Hazel pursed her lips, but saw a young man wearing a black suit and a gold-rimmed monocle following the archbishop.

The young man waved gently to Hazel, his lips moving as if he was saying something to her. Hazel fell silent for a moment, with the corners of her mouth curved downwards in a subtle arc.

Why is the teacher here too...

On the other side of the banquet, Earl Hall had already met the young man wearing a monocle and Archbishop Gorvi Abraham of the Church of Storms.

With a smile on his face, he extended his hand to the archbishop and shook hands with him.

"Mr. Abraham, I am extremely honored that you are willing to come to Audrey's birthday party."

Earl Hall walked up to the High Dimension Overlord and greeted him. Although Earl Hall was considered a representative of the new nobility, he also had strength associated with the Church of the Night.

However, facing this duke who is both a royal duke and the archbishop of the Storm Church, the strength of the Hall family itself is nothing.

After all, there is even such a rumor in the world that is not very reliable. That is, His Majesty the Emperor has not appeared in front of the people recently, and many decrees are now issued by the Grand Duke.

Of course, this is not reliable, and no one dared to bring up this rumor at a formal banquet.

"…Excuse me, who is this?"

After some greetings, Earl Hall looked at the young man wearing a monocle next to the High Dimension Overlooker with some doubt. The High Dimension Overlooker just smiled softly:

"He's my deputy, a young man with great potential."

This of course refers to Director Amon, the deputy of the high school president. To the Outer Gods, Amon existed for too short a time. To say that he was a young man, even gods whose ages were calculated in billions felt that this was an exaggeration for Amon's age.

"Hello, Lord Hall."

Amon responded with elegant etiquette. He habitually tried to split out a "worm of time" and plant it into Earl Hall's body, but found that the "worm of time" in his body was completely imprisoned by something.

As expected, I won't be given a chance... Is this the Sequence One with the Essence? It gives me the same sense of oppression that Sasriel gave me...

Amon thought in his heart, and silently followed the high-dimensional overlord towards the banquet.

After a moment, He poked the High-Dimensional Overlooker with his elbow:

"It's not quite what I imagined. There are quite a few Extraordinary People at this banquet. But speaking of it, how come you have the leisure and elegance to come to this kind of banquet?"

The High-Dimensional Overlooker chuckled:

"The protagonist of this banquet has been specially cared for by your father. She is a child with great potential, and she carries a lot of destiny."

"I'm just sitting around doing nothing. For me, there's no real difference between staying in college and attending banquets outside."

Amon thought about the time he played hide-and-seek with those idle college students who wanted to study the occult, and smiled.

"really."

"But the number and quality of Beyonders here are a bit over the limit. Did you really not do anything about it?"

"I tampered with it?" The High-Dimensional Overlooker asked back,

"Why do you think I need to tamper with it? Having two Sequence Twos here is enough to create a very strong aggregation of Beyonder characteristics. I only sealed your power and your perception of the outside world - but I didn't seal your status."

Amon speculated for a moment and curled his lips:

"Too."

"But speaking of which, what are you going to do now? Can you find any fun here?"

Amon was curious again for a moment, a look of too much humanity.

"Am I the same as you, only knowing how to have fun every day? I'm just giving you a gift." The High-Dimensional Overlooker glanced at Amon with great sorrow and anguish: "Give Audrey Hall a small gift..."

He dragged out the last syllable of this sentence and continued speaking to Amon.

"I might see something unexpected later."

"I understand." Amon pushed his monocle. "You hope to find greater fun in the future. You plan for your own happiness as if you were seeking uniqueness. You are indeed much higher than me."

"..." Although it is indeed for fun... The High-Dimensional Overlooker sighed:

"As long as you are happy."

After saying this to Amon, the corners of His mouth slightly curled up, and with a somewhat strange look on his face, He continued to say to Him:

"Of course, the gift is not just for Audrey."

"What is that?" Amon raised his eyebrows, but got no answer.

In the palm of the high-dimensional observer, an invitation card that was torn into countless pieces was flashing a faint red light in the void that no one could see.

Audrey stood on the dance floor and had a social conversation with other nobles. She knew that she would not have any time left for herself before the end of the dance.

What a troublesome social interaction... The Loen Empire is in such a bad state now, why do the nobles of Backlund still care so much about their dignity?

The current Loen Empire is in trouble both internally and externally. Outside, there is the covetous Feysac Empire, and inside, there is their own emperor George III who is planning some conspiracy.

Even now, Backlund's nobles still reveled every night, unwilling to lose even a little bit of their so-called dignity. And as a noble, Audrey understood that they were not unaware of the upcoming horrific war, but knowing that there might be a war, they had already prepared the materials needed for refuge, and even dug shelters in private.

In order to reduce their own losses, they even caused changes in the prices of materials throughout Backlund. After purchasing a large amount of goods and stockpiling a large amount of materials, they even had more assets.

Among them was her father, Earl Hall. Audrey didn't understand why her father chose to do this under such circumstances.

Is the family's dignity really that important? Is it even more important than the lives of ordinary people?

-- Doesn't God's teaching teach them to be good? Didn't his father once admonish him to be kind, gentle, and kind to others?

It's not like Audrey had never approached the civilians in Backlund's second- and even third-floor factory areas as an ordinary person, but she had never sensed any deep-rooted malice or stupidity from these civilians.

Audrey even felt that some of the commoners, after receiving a certain level of education - even without a very advanced education - would be able to surpass a considerable number of corrupt and stupid nobles in terms of cultivation and ability.

After learning about the history of this empire, Audrey understood why the nobles became like this.

They just plundered most of the country's wealth in the early days of the country's establishment and held all the resources in their own hands, so they are nobles.

They are nobles not because they are so smart, but because they happened to be born into noble families.

A figure walked up to him, and seeing the nobles around him automatically make way for him, Audrey Hall looked at the person walking towards him with some confusion.

Soon, she discovered that the visitor was the High-Dimensional Overlooker, that is, High-Dimensional Abraham, the Duke who had helped her many times.

"Hello, Duke Abraham." Audrey nodded slightly and greeted the high-dimensional person in front of her with impeccable social etiquette.

"Nice to meet you, Miss Hall. This is my birthday present for you."

While greeting Audrey, the High-Dimensional Overlooker took out a gift box from his arms. The box was made of pure gold and looked quite heavy.

Audrey Hall took the gift box, but found that this small box was unusually heavy - it seemed that it was not only made of pure gold, but there seemed to be something unusually heavy inside the gift box.

Even with the physical ability of the "Rose Bishop", Audrey's flesh and blood under her skin squirmed, supporting her arms to hold the gift box steadily, so that she would not appear rude due to the sudden heaviness.

"Open it and have a look." The High-Dimensional Overlord said gently to Audrey. Although the etiquette of the Loen Empire forbids opening gifts given at a banquet in front of others, the High-Dimensional Overlord himself holds the highest title among all the people present, so naturally no one would have the time to cause trouble for the Duke.

Audrey held the gift box with one hand, tensing all her muscles, and lifted the pull ring on the gift box with the other hand, using almost all her strength to lift the lid of the gift box without deforming her movements.

She took a look and found that the outer shell of the gift box was made of pure gold and was covered with a transparent film that looked like metal.

And in the box, a transparent pendant that looked like jade and glass lay quietly, and in it, a drop of black liquid was quietly sealed.

The surface of this drop of liquid reflects colorful luster and sinks downwards.

"What's this?"

Audrey asked, she had never seen such black liquid before.

The high-dimensional observer pressed his finger on the pendant that seemed to be made of glass. Layers of light blue light lit up, blocking Audrey's view of the black liquid.

"This is called... oil."

The look on the face of the higher-dimensional being looking down at her was strange and complicated. Audrey could only vaguely see a mixture of many strange looks in it.

"This is one of my collections." The High-Dimensional Overlooker emphasized, "--it's just a collection."

"But if one day you encounter an enemy you can't deal with, crush it."

Amon raised his eyebrows: "You actually collected a drop of Chaos Sea water? Don't tell me you also have a part of Sefirah Castle?"

"Chaos Sea?" The high-dimensional observer was silent for a moment:

"I prefer to call it that."

"oil."

"This is the original form of the Chaos Sea. Unlike now, this thing is flowing gold that can be used by everyone."

Amon was stunned: "Then this thing should be very important to you, why do you have the heart to..."

Why would you bear to "lose"?

"I can't bear it."

The High Dimension Overlooker said: "But, I want it to be 'lost'."

"…"

Amon curled his lips: "That's why I can't understand this... Is this also human nature?"

"Maybe." The High Dimension Overlooker looked into the distance and sighed,

"Maybe not."

 I can't hold on any longer. I have to get up early tomorrow.

  Good nightInvitation from George IIIChapter 356: Invitation from King George III

Audrey put the necklace given to her by the Highviewer back into her arms, and the maids and servants around her naturally did not dare to say anything about her behavior.

In fact, Audrey did not dare to hand the box to the servants, because if she did so, others would notice that there was something wrong with the unusually heavy box.

Although the knowledge of Extraordinary People is now known to many people, the nobles still do not reveal their identity as Extraordinary People.

It's so heavy... This feeling... Audrey looked a little strange, feeling the heavy weight in her hands. She was silent for a while, and then a smile returned to her face.

After a while, a voice came from beside her:

"Although I don't know you well, I think I can give you a gift."

Amon touched his chin, thought carefully and said to Audrey. Audrey looked at the young man and found that he had deep features and wore a black hat.

He had a broad forehead and thin cheeks... Audrey was in a trance for a moment, forgetting what she was thinking about just now.

A monocle was delivered to Audrey. Amon spread his hands, looked at the high-dimensional observer, and replied with a smile:

"Those who have killed poison, don't worry - Miss Hall, this is an extraordinary item that can improve observation ability, and there are no side effects."

The high-dimensional overlord ignored Amon, nodded calmly, and walked in another direction.

Amon saw the look of Gaowei looking down on him and smiled:

"Does she look like a pawn to you to deal with your collaborators?"

"Although there is no Time Worm on this monocle, there is still a mystical connection between me and it!"

"It is impossible that the High-Dimensional Overlooker could not have thought of this, but He still acquiesced to my giving this monocle to Audrey. Why?"

"Outer God, it seems that you and George III are not so close."

Amon took out a monocle from somewhere, put it back on his face, and smiled:

"Interesting."

"Then let me see what you will do in Backlund in the end. Huh, you want to 'let the fire burn'?"

"Come here, I'll give you something." A voice sounded in Klein's ears. Klein was stunned for a moment, then he realized whose voice it was.

Klein, who was playing the role of Dawn, paused for a moment and said to the guest beside him with some apology,

"Sorry, I'm going to the bathroom."

Previously, because of the relationship between Earl Hall, Lord Hibbert and Dwayne Dantes, the nobles all knew that Dwayne Dantes also had a prominent status and was very likely to become a leader among the new generation of nobles.

Therefore, they did not show any impatience on their faces, but just watched Dwayne Dantès leave the banquet temporarily with some apology.

After Klein entered the bathroom, he immediately locked the door and set up the spiritual wall. After a moment, he saw a dark curtain open in front of him. A figure changed from flat to three-dimensional and walked out in front of him.

"Respected Lord of the Bathroom, hello." There was an obvious smile in the High-Dimensional Overlord's tone. He looked at Klein in front of him and said teasingly.

God damn, Master of the Bathroom... Why do you always do something that makes me black out? Klein's expression darkened.

"You called me out just now, do you have something to give me?"

"Of course there are corresponding things, and there is something important." The high-dimensional overlord laughed in a low voice, and the things around him that were like curtains were pulled down, and the whole bathroom suddenly became dark.

The high-dimensional overlord opened his hands, and pieces of blood-red invitations floated out from his hands, and like a countercurrent, they were pieced together in the air to form a complete invitation letter.

"King George III is not sober anymore, so I can only ask me to act as a messenger for him."

The high-dimensional overlord laughed again, which made Klein feel uncomfortable.

Noticing Klein's slightly strange gaze, the High-Dimensional Overlooker paused for a moment:

"You think I'm different than usual?"

Klein was stunned for a moment, and said in a somewhat strange tone,

"I do have this feeling - I always feel that you laughed a lot today."

The high-dimensional observer regained his indifference: "The humanity in this incarnation has not been adjusted properly. Some of its characteristics are a little too much and not suppressed. I will adjust it later - this body is not my original body now."

"Adjustment?" Klein raised his eyebrows.

"What does this mean?"

Is human nature something that can be adjusted? Klein thought silently in his heart. All the gods he had seen could hardly squeeze out more space for human nature, so they could only try their best to maintain it.

"I remember I told you before that I have my own unique way to fight against the original will."

The High-Dimensional Overlooker said: "I dissect my purest character and way of thinking and infuse them into every incarnation."

"Although this is a squeeze of divinity, each of my incarnations is equivalent to a complete 'me'. Unlike 'parasitism' and 'secret doll', each incarnation created in this way is essentially equivalent to myself."

The High-Dimensional Overlooker continued, "Although the initial erosion was pervasive, I was able to retain some of the most important parts. But if each of me retains the most important part, isn't that equivalent to me remaining complete?"

"Of course, the method for me to piece together a complete self depends on my authority. This is a very complicated situation. After I came to this world, it took me quite a long time to master this skill."

Klein suddenly had an idea:

"Then can I also use this method to avoid the influence of Tianzun in the future?"

The High-Dimensional Overlooker chuckled. This action made Klein feel that the High-Dimensional Overlooker seemed to have not yet completed the adjustment of his humanity:

"Obviously not working."

"Unlike me, I am not facing a person with a personality aspect. Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun, as a pillar, has the identity of being the personality aspect of the original."

"Or in other words, what I need to resist initially is a purely chaotic personality, which is closer to a spiritual force; and what you have to fight is the cunning Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun. And by then, He will directly revive and fight you head-on in your body."

"If you separate your spiritual fragments into the spiritual worm at this time, you will be broken into pieces by it and become a buffet."

Buffet... Klein repeated the question silently in his mind. He raised his head after a moment and stopped dwelling on the question. Instead, he shifted his attention to the invitation card that glowed blood-red and looked extremely ominous.

"Is this the invitation from King George III? This seems like a very big problem."

This invitation letter, emitting a dazzling blood-red light, gives people a very ominous feeling. Even though it contains a large amount of gold-plated text, it still cannot conceal the evil feeling of this invitation letter.

Even an ordinary person can see the problem here, right? Klein looked a little strange. He paused for a moment and looked at the high-dimensional observer in front of him.

The high-dimensional overlord touched his chin and pointed lightly at the invitation. Suddenly, the blood-like light stabilized and slowly converged into the invitation.

He turned back and said, "This way you can't see it."

After being suppressed by the power of the higher-dimensional overlord, the red light in the invitation jumped out as if it had life, forming blood threads that looked like tentacles.

Klein: ...

Seeing the high-dimensional overlord's act of trying to cover up his own faults, Klein's expression became a little weird.

"Okay, I'll give you this invitation." The High-Dimensional Overlooker winked at Klein,

"I still have to send these invitations to other people one by one."

Klein finally couldn't help but ask the high-dimensional overlord:

"What on earth are these?"

"You mean these invitations? In essence, they are an 'anchor.'" The High-Dimensional Overlooker answered Klein's question calmly, which was beyond his expectation:

"George III deliberately left these things before accommodating the Uniqueness. Each invitation contains His divine blood. After the Black Emperor is resurrected, He will use the divine blood contained in the letters to create an opportunity for Him to regain His will from the erosion of the Uniqueness."

Klein frowned imperceptibly, thinking of some possibilities.

"These letters were delivered to all the nobles in Backlund? He asked you to send them because these things cannot be intercepted by the church?"

"Or is this some kind of ritual, a ritual to remove the influence of the extraordinary characteristics of the Black Emperor's Path that it has contained on itself?"

"Who knows?" The High-Dimensional Overlooker shrugged. "He and I are just a cooperative relationship. I provide Him with the opportunity to become a god, and He will give me the 'things' I need. Whether He lives or dies after that has nothing to do with me."

The words spoken by the High-Dimensional Overlooker were clearly quite heartless. Klein pursed his lips and asked again tentatively:

"Then do you know how long He has... How much time do I have left to investigate George III's plan?"

The High-Dimensional Overlooker couldn't help but chuckle when he heard Klein's words. After a while, He spoke,

"No one else would remind you like this. What's the difference between this and an open-book exam?"

"However, minus today, you still have nine days."

Nine days... Klein's pupils suddenly dilated. Why was it so fast? After hearing the words of the High-Dimensional Overlooker, Klein was stunned.

The High-Dimensional Overlooker noticed Klein's expression, patted him on the shoulder gently, and continued,

"Roselle Gustav, also known as Huang Tao, will be resurrected in nine days. This resurrection will draw away three copies of the Black Emperor's Sequence 1 characteristics. By then, George III will summon all those who have invitations to his side. Most of them are nobles and parliamentarians, and there are also some businessmen who are about to gain power."

Dwayne Dantes is clearly the latter.

Klein had played the role of the "Magic Master" many times in the past month, and he had digested the "Magic Master" potion in advance. In a few days, he would be able to completely digest the "Magic Master" potion. But even so, he was still a little hesitant.

Time is too tight. After nine days, he might very likely encounter an angel king or even a true God.

Only after he was promoted to Sequence Three and possessed the ability to pull out historical projections from the mist of history as an "ancient scholar", did Klein have the ability to actually protect himself. Otherwise, the people he could rely on now would not be able to take direct action.

I need to digest the potion faster... I will go out to sea again tonight to kill the "Admiral of Hell"! I will use Sefirah Castle to perform divination directly...

Klein, who already has the ability to travel through the spirit world, is now fully capable of killing Admiral Hell alone and can find his location in a very short time.

He could clearly feel that during this month, his "Weird Wizard" potion had been digested to a considerable extent, and he was only one step away from completely digesting the potion and feeling the potion completely break down in his body.

Moreover, the promotion ceremony of "Ancient Scholar" was not difficult for him at all. During this period, he also obtained a large amount of detailed historical data through various means, such as tutoring with nobles. As long as he digested the potion, he could be promoted to Sequence 3 immediately.

Moreover, being promoted to Sequence Three does not only mean that he can obtain the ability of historical projection, but also can verify one of his conjectures.

I'll go today, I'll go tonight! The sooner I digest my potion, the better it will be for my survival rate in the future!

Klein transformed into Dwayne Dantes again, removed the spiritual wall around him, and walked into the ball again.

Thinking that he was about to face a true god, Klein felt a little flustered. If he was a Sequence Three from another path, he really wouldn't dare to face an out-of-control true god, or an out-of-control ancient god, who obviously contained a lot of malice.

But after he was promoted to "Ancient Scholar", he could use the ability of historical consent to shake out a few friends of higher status when he encountered deadly danger.

——The cricket is just the old days.

The next day, Audrey walked out of the room and saw a gold-plated invitation next to her father. After greeting her father, she walked outside, followed by several servants.

I'm an adult now... Audrey sighed, feeling a little worried about the current situation in Backlund.

He took the newspaper handed to him by his servant and saw the headline written in a very impactful font.

"The eighth serial murder victim in the Backlund factory area has appearedConfess?Chapter 357 Confess?

"What is this?" Audrey asked subconsciously, but she saw the expressions of the servants beside her changed slightly. She keenly noticed that one of the servants was walking quickly into the distance.

There have been so many serial murders, why do I know about it now? Didn't the newspapers report it before? Oh, I had a birthday party recently and didn't have time to read the news in the newspaper... As the night watchman, Audrey quickly thought of this question, and her face changed a little because the servant beside her left.

"What are you going to do?" After a brief thought, Audrey said to the servant in a calm tone. The servant who was about to leave was stunned for a moment, and it was obvious that he thought for a long time before he replied to Audrey:

"Miss, I'm going to find the Earl."

Earl... Is there anything you want me to tell my father directly after I see the newspaper? Audrey tightened her fingers slightly, and the flesh between her fingers squirmed angrily, staining the place where the newspaper was grasped a little red.

After a brief moment of calm, seeing that no one around her noticed the abnormality in her hand, Audrey secretly took back the bright red blood that seeped out from between her fingers.

She has played the role of "Rose Bishop" only a limited number of times and has not yet fully mastered the power of "Rose Bishop". Therefore, when she is emotionally excited, her body affected by the potion will involuntarily change.

Fortunately, she had the experience of being an "audience" before. With the ability of an "audience", she was able to examine herself in time so that she would not become like Mr. A in the early days, who was in a state where his flesh and blood were wriggling uncontrollably at any time and place.

The reason why Audrey was in an abnormal mood was that after she saw the content in the newspaper, someone around her immediately reported it to her father, which made Audrey feel aggrieved and puzzled.

Is my father spying on me?

I am already a Sequence 6 Beyonder and a member of the Nighthawks... Does my father not believe me, or is he hiding something from me?

No, maybe my father is worried about me and doesn't want me to get involved in these dangerous things... I need to ask my father what he means. Now the situation in Backlund is becoming more and more confusing. I hope this matter - this serial murder case has nothing to do with my father.

After investigating various things in Backlund recently, Audrey thought with some worry. The more she knew, the more she realized that many things were not as she originally thought.

For example, the number of people killed by the "witches" and "devils" in Backlund was far less than the number of workers killed by the factory owners in Backlund's factory district, and the factories that committed such acts probably included industries related to his family.

For example, when he used the power of the "Rose Bishop", he could see the "degeneration" in his father.

This feeling made Audrey feel a searing pain in her bones - the father who taught her not to be "evil" could actually be so "corrupt".

"——I need to ask my father what he knows. I need to tell him that if he takes a wrong step, he will be in an abyss of no return..."

Audrey said to herself in her heart, she felt her heart beating non-stop.

The pride of aristocracy, the dignity that aristocrats should have, the love for their families, the pursuit of career, and a little respect for the emperor; this seems to constitute the whole meaning of Earl Hall's existence.

But what should her father do? Is his charity to ordinary people a way for him to change things for them, or is it just a perfect political show?

Audrey wants to find out.

Because she knew that she had been instilled with almost all of her father's beautiful ideas under his happy care, but such beautiful ideas were like the difference between ideals and reality. Even if she understood that this was right, Earl Hall would not practice these ideas like he did with his own daughter.

Earl Hall understood that if he really practiced his creed like educating his daughter, he would be devoured by other jackals with no moral bottom line, and he would not even be able to protect his wife and daughter.

When the strength is similar, whichever side has lower moral standards seems to become the factor of whether that side can win.

No matter what, Audrey still maintained a deep love for her father and her family; she knew that they were more corrupt than other nobles, but she did not want to part ways with her family.

That might make others think she was straightforward and decisive, but for Audrey, she felt that this would be the most tragic ending between them.

After all, what could be more tragic than being torn apart from your family because of your ideals? If anything, it would be turning your sword against your family because of your ideals.

Audrey never wanted to end up on this path with her father and her family.

"Take me to my father, take me to Count Hall." Audrey's pupils turned pure gold, and she used her "psychologist" ability on an ordinary person for the first time.

There seemed to be roses wriggling in her veins, and her expression was as angry as an ancient imaginary dragon.

"—Go tell him I'm here."

Audrey declared majestically:

"Go tell my father that I am going to talk to him. I don't want any more temptations between my father and me. Whether you have received my father's order or not, you must pass on my message."

Audrey looked solemn, like a bishop holding a scepter:

"Please tell him that I am willing to believe him, so I have to be honest with him."

"—don't try to hide it."

Audrey needed to know whether her father wanted to protect her from these things or whether he was involved in the case. Although Audrey didn't want to speculate about her father in such a bad way, the depravity she saw in her father was indeed true.

A moment later, she followed the servant who had taken her away from the original place back to the manor, and after a while, she appeared in front of Earl Hall.

Audrey looked at her father. After a long silence, she said to him calmly:

"Father, what else are you hiding from me?"

——Why did you stop me from seeing the serial murder case?

Audrey looked at Earl Hall with burning eyes, restraining the golden light that was about to appear in her pupils. She still didn't want to use extraordinary abilities on her family.

Earl Hall frowned and spoke vaguely: "I don't want you to be involved in more danger, my daughter."

"It was you who asked me if I wanted to join the Nighthawks." Audrey did not give in. "It was you who told me to be kind to others. Everything I want to investigate now is the concept you taught me. Is all this fake? Is this all a show?"

Earl Hall stood up suddenly, his eyes filled with rage that was about to burst out:

"I'm doing this for your own good, Audrey!"

Audrey was visibly stunned by her father's rebuke, and a faint golden light flashed in her eyes. She stared at her father without giving in.

After a long while, he lowered his voice and said to Audrey:

"...Then what can I do?"

"You know what? It was a saint from the church who asked me if I wanted to join the church and become a Nighthawk. Could I go against the will of a saint?"

"I don't want you to sacrifice so many precious things to protect the lives of others. I don't want to hear one day that you have become one of the night watchmen who died in the line of duty in the newspaper. There are many things I can't tell you. However, the position you are currently in is much more dangerous than you think, especially in this era."

Count Hall obviously knew something, but even under the guidance of the "psychologist", he restrained himself and continued to say to Audrey:

"Yes, I taught you to be kind to ordinary people. I also often donate part of my money and assets to them, but I can tolerate one less dish on the table, but I cannot tolerate the loss of the family's dignity!"

Count Hall's tone gradually became higher:

"Do you think you are the only special one? Audrey, you are not the only Beyonder in Backlund!"

"I have witnessed the terrifying power of those truly powerful people, and now they are everywhere - Duke Abraham has shown me kindness from nowhere, and the bishop of the church has also demonstrated terrifying power - I just hope that I can protect you and prevent you from becoming a meaningless victim in the struggle between the church and the empire."

"Until now, Alfred has not fully recovered the mind of an ordinary person. I don't want to lose you again!"

Audrey was silent for a long time. She wanted to ask Earl Hall about the recent case in a threatening manner, but under the influence of his extraordinary ability, Earl Hall revealed his true feelings.

——I still used my extraordinary ability on my father.

Audrey gritted her teeth and asked:

"What about the civilians?"

"What are they to you?"

"If I don't protect them, how can they protect themselves?"

Earl Hall stood up and glanced at the servant beside him. The servant was stunned for a moment, then left the room in a frightened manner.

"Their lives are nothing compared to yours." Under psychological induction, Earl Hall said in an almost arrogant tone. Audrey knew that she had triggered her father's true thoughts, but she still felt a little surprised.

"They are not as good as you, your mother, your brother, me, and the entire Hall family."

Earl Hall shook his head:

"Why do you think they are equal to us? As a new noble, I can still regard them as creatures with similar wills to us."

"Some nobles even thought that they were just incomplete animals that could not even be called human beings, but just happened to have the same appearance as us. (Note 1)"

"And now you're telling me that you want to fight for them, sacrifice a lot of your time to protect them, and even threaten your own safety?"

Audrey was stunned for a moment.

Lord Hall continued:

"Do you think so, Audrey? You're even willing to sacrifice your life for them?"

"Stop fantasizing, Audrey. Every piece of clothing you wear is worth hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of pounds. Even if they sacrificed their lives in the factory, they could only get a few soli or even a few pounds in compensation!"

"——Do you think you can uphold 'justice' just by relying on your not-so-strong extraordinary abilities?"

Audrey looked at her father and felt that he was extremely strange.

She took a deep breath:

"Then why did you teach me this since I was a child?"

"Then why did you teach me to be like this?"

"Do you think I can live in an ivory tower all my life without being exposed to these things?"

The golden light in Audrey's eyes gradually went out. Although she got the answer she wanted and knew that her father had no connection with the conspiracy mastermind behind those serial killers, she couldn't be happy at all.

She gritted her teeth:

"I'm leaving."

"Come back!" Earl Hall shouted at Audrey. Although he vaguely felt that something was wrong, he needed to protect his own dignity and that of the Hall family.

"Where do you want to go? You are from the Hall family!"

He reached out his hand and tried to grab his daughter's shoulders. He felt very strange about himself just now, and suddenly felt that if he didn't do this, he would probably lose his daughter.

However, what he felt was not the feeling of pressing on his shoulder, but a sticky touch.

He saw Audrey look at him with an equally strange expression and sighed deeply:

"I'm sorry... Dad."

Then she left him without looking back.

...

Count Hall stretched out his hand, but finally put it down helplessly.

He sat here for a long time, but did not see Audrey come back until the evening.

Facing his wife's question at the dinner table, he gritted his teeth and said,

"Audrey went to church."

As he listened to his wife's complaints and worries, he smiled bitterly - he actually hoped that his daughter was really in church now.

Why would I say that? Earl Hall was puzzled.

--

Klein frowned and looked at the spiritual messenger who suddenly appeared beside him. This messenger had a strong temperament of the Church of the Night.

"…Miss Justice ran away from home?"

After reading the letter, Klein muttered to himself in disbelief
