It's easy to get out of control, and things will turn into the opposite when they reach the extreme, right?"
"The moment the potion is taken, the audience will forever be in the performance, forever under the biggest stage of the world, which makes it easiest for them to digest the potion and also the easiest for them to be affected by it unconsciously."
"If the audience wants to digest the potion, the most important thing is to observe and understand. If the audience does not want to lose control, they must temporarily give up acting, step into the lights of the stage, and become the actors on the stage."
"When you give up all the false masks of your personality and leave only the most real, fragile and weakest true self, you will naturally meet the true meaning of acting."
"After all, you are just acting," Flora smiled, "Only by letting go can you succeed."
"The potion gives strength and quality, but the power and quality granted will also devour the person given it."
"The kindness brought by the potion is false kindness. It is the potion that is kind, not you. The courage brought by the potion is false courage. It is the extraordinary characteristics that are brave and fearless, not you."
"What do you think, [God of War] Medici?" She looked into the distance at the sky. "How about your courage?"
"If the [Original Witch] rapes you and wants to transcend the sequence with you, merge into one, and become two sides of the [Symbol of Destruction] together, will you accept this gift from fate?"
"Perhaps, you will flexibly lower your moral bottom line according to the circumstances and accept this gift from fate, or simply throw your bottom line out of your mind and just be satisfied with gaining a stronger power?"
"Or maybe, you will discard this power stained with shame and obscenity without hesitation, set foot on the red road of war again, and start the more difficult [Conquest] again?"
"I believe that those who dare to make the latter decision must have courage from their heart, because only those who truly possess courage and integrity will dare to give up the power that already belongs to them."
"As for the former…tsk tsk…Flora Jacob smacked her lips.
I don't remember it clearly, can anyone tell me who this is?
"If there really is someone who can transcend the sequence by relying on the power derived from rape and end up in such a shameful situation, who would care whether he has the courage or not?"
Flora shook her head again, stole [Location] and appeared in the corner of the street.
"Anyway," she licked her lips, "I have finally taken back the spiritual imprint in the brain of Longzel Edward, the new handyman of Count Hull's family."
"Thousands of years ago, books and pens parted ways.
"After a long millennium, books and pens will
Flora Jacob disappeared into the alley, and on the street outside the alley, a former Nightwatchman informant who had officially become an official Beyonder was whispering with his new captain.
"Captain, you know, my previous information network is still running," he paused, and continued, "That is absolutely very reliable information!!"
"Intis Ambassador Keneo Soren has sent out a banquet invitation, and sincerely invites Gehrman Sparrow to attend the banquet at the embassy next Saturday."
"This news has spread like wildfire throughout Backlund's extraordinary underground world!!"Chapter 126: Gathering
"Intis' new ambassador to Loen, Keneo Soren, invites me to a banquet at the embassy next Saturday?"
Klein read Miss Sharon's letter carefully several times to make sure there was nothing wrong with his eyes.
This development was indeed unexpected. Klein had never thought that he would have any contact with the Intis Embassy after Backram's death.
This seems a bit surreal.
"Think about it calmly..." Klein closed his eyes. "This Ambassador Kneo is most likely not coming for me, otherwise there would be no need to set up such a dangerous feast for me that even a blind person could see."
"Who will be his target then?"
Soran... the angel family that controls the Hunter Path... the only characteristics and seals that this family would be interested in are the Hunter and the Magic Path.
"I have seen quite a few witches, Sharon, Triss, Tracy, Katrina Pele, Lady Despair... Two of them died, and two of them I came into contact with.
"In this case, the target of this Kneo Ambassador can only be Triss. She is indeed involved in high-level matters...!
'But Triss must have been hunted by the three major churches after the great haze, and her whereabouts are uncertain. She has also lost her Level 0 seal, so it seems that she is not worth capturing specifically... Of course, it is not ruled out that they have some information that I don't understand.
"If the other party's target is something in the Hunter path, then I have seen the Red Angel Ghost, but this matter should only be known to Miss Sharon and me... Wait, that's not necessarily true...
Klein remembered that the Magician had reported that there were many more Intis and Feysac people on Williams Street. Perhaps Ambassador Kneo was also involved in that incident.
From this point of view, they may indeed know the existence of the Red Angel evil spirit, and by investigating the history of Williams Street, it is very likely that they will find Detective Sherlock Moriarty who is involved in a major case.
However, it was difficult for Ambassador Kneo to connect his two identities together. In other words, the ambassador did not invite him to the banquet for the Red Angel Evil Spirit.
What was that for? Klein couldn't think of it.
He shook his head, stopped thinking about the question, and instead thought about what benefits he could gain from the ambassador.
Soon, he thought of it.
It was difficult for him and the Tarot Club members to conduct an in-depth investigation into that matter, but the Intis ambassador was likely to know about it.
After all, Hunter knows Hunter best.
"You mean, the ambassador of Intis entertained that Gehrman Sparrow?"
Inside the base of the Aurora Society, the Dark Saint tilted his head and looked at Mr. J in front of him, obviously doubting his own ears.
"What's the point of this?" The Dark Saint muttered to himself, "What are those guys planning?"
"Sir Saint, do we need to intervene in this matter?" Mr. J tried to speak. "As far as I know, all the investigations that X and I have conducted have come to a standstill. Let alone a breakthrough, we can't even find a clue."
"Perhaps we should take the initiative to get in touch with these major events in Backlund. Maybe we will get some breakthrough results."
"I agree with J. We should intervene," Mr. X agreed with Mr. J, which was rare. "I also heard about the intelligence and investigated Gehrman Sparrow privately. I found some strange and suspicious points."
"First of all, before this year, this person did not exist at all. It's as if he appeared out of thin air. But that's not the point. The point is his itinerary."
"He went to Bansi Harbor, and it was razed to the ground by the Church of Storms. He went to Bayam, and the false god Kalvetuwa died there."
"He and members of the School of Life bought tickets to Olvera, and then the [Secret Saint] misplaced the item when he found it suspected to contain the Lord's will, and found it on his ship. A few days after arriving there, the demigod Amyrius was assassinated."
"....In the last battle of Bayam, an object with the will of the Lord reappeared again, and that person was in that battle!!"Now, he came to Backlund at some point, and I happened to be assassinated recently! Isn't this too coincidental?"
"It's really strange... The Dark Saint narrowed his eyes, "I remember that the Lord issued the task of searching for the followers of the Fool because an item with the Lord's will appeared in the Lord's holy land from Backlund in a short time and destroyed the Lord's plan...
"If this Gehrman Sparrow is a follower of The Fool, then everything makes sense… A god who appeared out of nowhere has a follower who appeared out of nowhere. This makes perfect sense. ......
The Dark Saint stood up, and the two gods immediately stood up in a serious manner.
"Stop all business, mobilize all manpower, and thoroughly survey the terrain and building distribution around the Intis Embassy. I want to see a detailed map of the environment distribution of the embassy and the surrounding area within three days."
The Dark Saint gave orders loudly, with fanaticism flashing in his eyes.
"Next Saturday, I will personally wait there. If this German Sparrow dares to come to the banquet, I will capture him alive on the spot!!"
"You two divine messengers should go over there now to check out the location, be on standby at all times, and eliminate as many secret investigations from other forces as possible."
"I'm sure we're not the only ones willing to send out demigods for this adventurer."
In a hidden alley in the east district of Backlund, the boundary between the spirit world and reality was suddenly torn apart.
The two demigods of the Rose School then walked out of the spirit world.
"What a great honor," Zavent stretched out his fingers, "The people of Loen actually postponed the transportation of the mummy for that adventurer."
Zatvin
"That's good," Mahmouds responded. "We've also been able to apply for additional assistance, which will make it easier for us to get the mummy back."
The two demigods then walked out of the alley and into the chaotic East District.
As soon as they walked out of the alley, they immediately heard countless praises.
"The great Emperor Roselle is about to be resurrected and return!" the preacher shouted loudly, "That great man once brought the steam engine to the world and changed the entire world. Now, he will once again bring a miracle greater than the steam engine!!"
"Praise! Cheer! The Emperor's order will return to the earth! The Emperor's glory will return again!!"
Zavent withdrew his gaze and shook his head.Chapter 127: Demons in Action
...He discovered the secret of King George III of Loen and tried to inform the three major churches but failed and was executed on the spot.....!
Outside the mansion of Viscount Stratford, Hugh, who was squatting every day, kept thinking about Arrodes' words, and it was difficult for him to calm down.
Since the conversation with Arrodes that day, Xio has been restless and has no appetite. If she hadn't known that the demon could attack her at any time, she would not have forced herself to eat.
Is this out of fear? It seems not. Compared to fear, her emotion is closer to [confusion].
Born into an aristocratic family, she was born with an obligation-like loyalty to the royal family, which is why she still cannot accept the claim that her father died of treason.
But when the truth really came to her, she was confused.
She thought her father died of a frame-up or a power struggle, but the answer was
My father really was plotting a rebellion in some way - if the king's secret was extremely huge.
So, who should she be loyal to? To the king whom she was born to serve as a duty? Or to her own father?
Xio felt that she would choose the latter, but this did not reduce her current confusion in the slightest, because some things, some beliefs, could not be changed overnight.
"Captain of the Guard."
A voice made Xio raise his head, focus his scattered gaze, and look at
"You have a banquet invitation," the attendant came to Viscount Stratford with a letter, "Intis Ambassador Keneo Solon sent you a banquet invitation, inviting you to attend the banquet at the embassy next Saturday."
"Keneo?" Viscount Stratford frowned.
He frowned visibly, "Do you think I'm a fool? Who would dare to go to his embassy for a banquet on that day?"
"Go back," he waved his hand, "and inform Duchess Georgina about this matter to avoid any strange situation."
"I'm afraid this... won't work," the follower said.
I resisted, "This letter was handed to me personally by the embassy, it's really hard to refuse it!!"
"How complicated can it be?" Viscount Stratford said.
"die!!"
The filthy devil's words resounded through the sky, instantly grabbing Viscount Stratford's heart.
Viscount Stratford spat out a mouthful of blood and staggered back, with large amounts of blood oozing from the corners of his mouth.
In front of him, the servant's stomach exploded, and large pieces of flesh and blood gushed out, quickly gathering into a human shape.
Bess, who was wearing a mask, waved his hand, and the lava sword instantly emerged. He then jumped up with both feet and went straight towards Viscount Stratford.
"Confinement!!"
The magma sword slashed fiercely on the transparent barrier, splashing red sparks, but it could not cut into it at all.
"Release!! Exile!!"
He shouted out two majestic ancient Hermes words, and with a push of his right hand, the invisible wind pressure directly pressed down on Beth Andrellad, and the huge thrust directly pushed him back more than ten meters.
"It is forbidden to use [obscene language] here!!"
Seeing that the assassination failed, her own abilities were also banned, and her secret bodyguards including Xio had also appeared, Beth immediately gave up the idea of continuing the assassination.
He immediately reached out and grabbed the umbilical cord of the [True Creator] Son of God in his pocket, turned himself into a dark shadow, and escaped.
"It is forbidden to transform into a shadow here!!" Viscount Stratford and a [Judge] shouted in unison, jointly imposing a legal ban.
The shadow of Bess's incarnation immediately slowed down, and his body emerged from the shadow.
point.
But that's all, the non-divine [forbidden
It was difficult to limit the [Shadow Transformation] activated by the Son of God's Umbilical Cord with the [Stop Order]. For this reason, even though his speed slowed down and part of his body emerged, Bess was still escaping quickly.
road.
"Chase!!" Viscount Stratford ordered loudly
Most of the secret sentries, including Xiu, chased after them immediately, while the remaining half stayed where they were and continued their protection work.
"Wow, it's only been ten years and Backlund has become so lively."
While Xio and the others were chasing Beth, a vampire on the roof of a nearby house was watching the scene with a smile.
"What do you think? Your Majesty, the [Mysterious Queen]?" He looked to the side, at Bernadette who was also standing on the roof. "What do you think?"
"It's just the daily life of Backlund, where a storm is about to come." Bernadette's eyes became extremely deep. "I have foreseen the future of Backlund. There is a huge storm lurking."
"It's just that I can't see the true meaning behind this storm."
"I have no interest in this storm," the vampire straightened up, "but I am quite interested in the followers of the Rose School and the Original Moon. Could you please help me predict where the demigods of these two schools will be?"
"No," Bernadette refused flatly, "I have no obligation to help you."
"Okay, okay, that's true," the vampire smiled disappointedly and shook his head, "No matter how many titles and names we have, you and I are still pirates in essence. Trust between pirates is a luxury."
"But please forgive my curiosity, Your Highness Bernadette," the vampire asked politely, "Is the recent rumor in the East District that your father has been resurrected true?"
"I'm also checking, but it's still unclear." Obviously Bernadette didn't know much about this matter either. "I believe the results will be out soon, maybe..."
"Is that okay for this afternoon?"
3pm
Deep red lights lit up in the endless gray fog, and ten figures sat down in front of the long bronze table.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Fool..."
Audrey's voice sounded a little tired, and it was obvious that she was not in a good condition.
Because of the loss of control, she did not have the energy to attend the fundraising ceremony for the Loen Charity Fund, but she still asked her father to donate. Because of this, she lost the opportunity to meet Klein.
opportunity.
Let's skip the part about Russell's diary, because this time, it is still an interpretation of "Hometown".
"…You guys get started." Klein the Fool said.Chapter 128: Pathway Mutation
"I have a question for you all," Alger, the Hanged Man, was the first to speak. "I want to know if anything related to the three paths of Night, Warrior, and Death has experienced any abnormal changes in the world recently?"
"I will pay you £50 for every valid answer."
"[Mutation]?" Cattleya repeated in surprise, "What degree of change does it have to be considered as what you call a [Mutation]?"
"Abnormal conditions are fine," Alger obviously saw the spying intent behind Cattleya's words. "Abnormal conditions, sudden problems, are fine."
"I've seen it," [World] Klein raised his hand, "but I can't tell you the details. You just need to know that the place that was originally filled with the power of [Night] has become crazy."
"I've seen it too," Emlyn also raised his hand. "For some reason, the Warriors' Dawn Armor has suddenly turned black recently. No matter how many times you activate their abilities, it can't be washed off."
"I saw it, too," [Sun] Derrick said gloomily, "and it's quite serious and has something to do with our former chief. I'll explain it in detail when we get to the discussion."
"I see. In other words, what happened to me was not accidental." Alger breathed a sigh of relief. "Very good. I will pay you a suitable reward."
"Mr. Hanged Man, what on earth happened to you?" Derrick asked curiously, "What kind of abnormality did you encounter?"
"To put it simply, I recently approached the God War Ruins," Alger said succinctly, "but I only approached it and did not go in. But even so, I still dreamed of the strange dream that Mr. [World] once described every night."
"And in that dream, there was a violent sea outside my window at dusk, and it was like that for several days in a row, so I wondered if there was something wrong with those three paths."
"Speaking of which, the Raging Sea seems to be even more violent than before," Cattleya also remembered something, "I heard that the fleet of the Undead King encountered a storm in the Raging Sea and suffered heavy damage."
"Even the Undead King, who possesses high-sequence power, has suffered heavy damage?" Alger was clearly mentally prepared for this. "Yes, no matter how powerful the Undead King is, can he be stronger than the God War Ruins?"
"Mr. Fool," Alger turned his head and looked at Klein, "What exactly caused the change that affected the God-Forsaken Land? What impact will this have on the world situation?"
As Alger asked the question, everyone's eyes were focused on the Fool, and they were all eagerly waiting for Klein's answer.
"Good question, but I don't know
Ah...........................Klein complained in his heart, but.....................…it's not like he couldn't answer it at all."
"Haha," The Fool chuckled, "It's not just those three ways that are affected. Even I have been affected to a certain extent."
"I am also very curious about what happened that could affect me."
When these words came out, all the members of the Tarot Club were shocked.
They really didn't expect that this change could actually affect the [Fool]!!
This is the first time ever!!
Everyone fell silent until Siatas's voice broke the silence.
"Now, it's my turn," Pope Siatas raised his hand and said, "Mr. Hanged Man, do you know a member of the Church of Storms named Gayes? I want to know his background, and I can pay 200 pounds for it."
"Gayas?" Alger's tone was a little surprised. "Cardinal Gayas? Do you know him?"
"I met him in Trier," Siatas curled her lips, "He was a very annoying believer in a false god."
"Trier is not the place of [Eternal Sun]
What is Bishop Gayes doing there?" Alger murmured in confusion, "What is the church planning in Intis?"
"So, do you know his details?" Siatas asked impatiently.
"Well... I can only say that this cardinal has a special affinity with holy relics." Alger said vaguely."As for the rest... due to my position and principles, I can't say too much."
"That's enough," Siatas nodded, "You will receive 200 pounds after the meeting."
Soon, the transaction with Klein regarding the sorcery and ghosts came to an end.
The weird trick
"There is one thing I must remind you, Mr. World," said Magician Fowles before Derrick could speak. "The Intis Embassy has announced that it will host a banquet for Gehrman Sparrow this Saturday."
"This is already an open topic in Backlund's Beyonder circle. Anyone who has contact with Backlund's Beyonder circle basically knows about this matter."
All eyes were turned towards the [World], full of surprise and curiosity. No doubt, they all wanted to know how this crazy adventurer would deal with this matter.
The [World] has always been known for being cold and crazy, which is also the character that Klein has been trying his best to shape. There is no doubt that Klein has been very successful in shaping it, leaving a deep impression on the Tarot Club members.
In their perception, [World] is not only a crazy adventurer, but also a follower of Mr. [Fool]. From any perspective, he should not show cowardice in this open invitation.
Although everyone knew that this was a Hongmen Banquet, no matter what, at least on the surface, Intis and Gehrman Sparrow had no grudges against each other.
Not only that, the other party was very polite and gave [World] enough time to prepare for the banquet. It was reasonable for [World], as a follower, not to refuse this invitation.
After all, if the Followers were to cower in such an open invitation, then how real could the Fool behind the World really be?
"I have heard of this a long time ago."
Klein paused, glanced at The Fool, and then turned his gaze to the people in the Tarot Club.
"I will be invited to the banquet on that day and at that time."
This one sentence shocked everyone. All the Tarot Club members looked at each other, and even through the gray fog, they could not hide the surprise and admiration in their eyes.
After all, the Intis Embassy at that time
But it's a real dragon's den and a tiger's lair."
But since the [World] had already expressed its position, they had nothing to say, and the topic quickly switched to Derrick.
"So, what happened to your Silver City?
What's the problem?" Emlyn looked at the Sun and spoke first, "Tell me more. Maybe Mr. Fool can find some clues from this."
Derrick recalled with mixed feelings.
Come
Six days ago, the mausoleum of the former chief.
It was a very ordinary day. Derrick had no patrol mission that day and was chatting with his new friends.
They talked about many topics, from the taste of Dumu fruit to the crazy tree man outside the city, but at this moment——
"Boom!!"
"What's going on?!" Derrick's eyes widened.
Eyes, "Monster attack?"
"No!!" His new friend pointed in the direction of the explosion, "That's the direction of the former chief's mausoleum!!"
Before he could finish his words, a huge pale arm pierced through the mausoleum, bent its elbow, and slammed it hard on the ground.
The crowd was screaming and running away, and at the round tower of the six-member council, a white lightning flashed through the air, followed closely by another figure.
A member of the six-member council, Weite Hillmon, once again drew up the [Dragon Hunting Bow] and aimed at the giant white hand. The shining lightning immediately shot forward and stabbed straight ahead.
"boom!!"
Endless thunder fell from the dark sky and submerged the pale giant hand. However, this blow that was enough to kill a mid-sequence dark creature could not burn the pale arm.
"Bound flesh...liberated spirit
The distant [Words of the Dead] from the depths of the mausoleum
Floating out everywhere.In an instant, death came.
Three menus
From near to far, the residents of Silver City who did not escape far enough fell to the ground one by one, like wheat and rice that were harvested after they matured.
The Sequence 7 Weapon Master fell down without any process; the Sequence 6 Conspirator only had time to struggle for a moment before his eyes lost their luster; the Sequence 5 Guardian screamed,
[Morning Light] delayed the arrival of death, but prolonged the wailing of pain.
In the end, they had nothing to protect, including themselves.
Like a plague, invisible death began to spread, gradually spreading from the outer city area where the mausoleum was located to the interior of Silver City. Wherever it passed, all kinds of evil spirits stood up from countless corpses.
This is a [curse] that has been passed down in Silver City for a thousand years, because none of these unfortunate deaths were killed by their blood relatives.
The evil spirits began to move, spreading along with the invisible death, spreading into the interior of the Silver City.
And a figure fell heavily to the ground, standing between Silver City and the spreading death.
[Chief] Colin Iliad drew out his two swords and thrust them into the ground. A huge barrier of dawn rose up instantly, separating the city, the evil spirits and the invisible death.
An ordinary day in [God's Forsaken Land] begins at this moment...
