833 Things to Take Note Of (1/2)
Inside the dark, foggy town, the woman who walked out of the alley seemed to be out of place with her surroundings. She was pure, stately, and untainted. She was so gorgeous that it lit up the eyes of anyone whose gaze landed on her.
As for her pure, simple robe and her loosely pulled back hair, they added to her bearing and languidness.
That gorgeous woman also noticed Senor. Her expression froze for a moment before she smiled. using a sweet voice, she said, ”Senor…
”When did you become a marionette? If not for the powers of Evernight contaminating you this badly, I wouldn't have recognized you.”
Although she looked like she was talking to Senor, she was actually conversing with the controller through the marionette.
Sigh, this kind of dead and cold aura can't be hidden at all. I can't fool Beyonders of higher Sequences… I was still hoping that I could hide somewhere inconspicuous and use Admiral of Blood Senor to make contact with her so as to maximize my own safety… This place screens away the power of the gray fog, so if I were to die, I likely won't be able to resurrect… Klein hid inside the grayish-white mill and made his marionette speak hoarsely, ”If you could leave, you'd easily find out that I've been serving my master more than a month ago.”
He used Admiral of Blood's tone and experiences to answer as though he was still alive.
This was the acting principle of a Marionettist, to let each marionette have their unique identity and setting!
Meanwhile, Klein also buried a keyword ”leave,” in preparation to broach the topic of leaving.
In this bizarre and mysterious town, he didn't have thoughts of instantly killing any Demoness that he saw. Ignoring the question of there being any good Demonesses and whether he was equipped with the strength to do so, just the fact that they were trapped in here had made it imperative that he communicated with her for intelligence to seek a way to get out. This was enough to make him choose peaceful coexistence for the time being.
The woman in a simple white robe chuckled and said, ”Not forgetting to constantly act. From the looks of it, you will quickly digest the Marionettist potion.
”A member of the Secret Order?”
She's very familiar with the Seer pathway… Hmm, the Demoness Sect was a secret organization that was active in the Fourth Epoch. Even if they didn't have close ties with the Zaratul or Antigonus families, they should be quite familiar with each other. It's very normal to understand the Seer pathway. Of course, the premise to that is that this lady is a Demoness… Klein's heart stirred as he deliberately asked, ”Aren't there other possibilities?”
He tried to sound her out to see if other organizations might wield control over the Seer pathway.
The beautiful and pure lady walked forward and leaned towards Admiral of Blood Senor as she said with a smile, ”It doesn't matter which organization you belong to. We have been exiled here, and it's practically eternal imprisonment. The past no longer matters; what matters is the future—whether we can cooperate to find a way of leaving.”
I failed to sound her out… Klein made the Wraith reply, ”That's exactly what I was thinking.
”How may I address you?”
As the lady approached Senor, Klein caught a whiff of a refreshing fragrance with his marionette's sense of smell. Due to her words, he suddenly had a baffling thought to help each other in such a perilous situation while abandoning all morals, to help warm up each other's souls with their bodies.
She's like a Demoness… Hmm, her voice sounds more familiar the more I listen to her. But why can't I put my thumb on it. What a pity, there's no way to use dream divination in such a situation. She will be able to seize the opportunity while I'm unconscious, and it's hard to predict what will happen… Klein frowned slightly.
This beautiful woman with a tinge of languidness raised her hand to stroke her hair, accentuating her petite ear.
”Panatiya.
”What about you?”
Klein had originally planned on randomly choosing a disguise, such as the Aurora Order's Mr. X or Death Announcer's second mate, Kircheis. After all, he could use Creeping Hunger to simulate their powers, but he ultimately gave up the disguise and directly said, ”Gehrman Sparrow.”
He didn't know when this suspected Demoness had entered the foggy town, so he was unable to eliminate the possibility that she knew about Admiral of Blood's disappearance.
Panatiya nodded and asked, ”How did you get in?”
Klein didn't keep the truth from her as he said with the marionette's mouth, ”I encountered an unknown lady.
”She wore a hood, and her eyes were like the night, but it lacked any spirituality.”
Panatiya fell silent for two seconds before saying, ”So it's her. Heh…”
She didn't continue in detail as she said with a smile, ”What did you actually do? You actually managed to get the Church of Evernight to send 'Her' to deal with you?”
Panatiya had changed the pronoun she used.
”Her”? That lady is an angel? An ascetic from the Church? Panatiya seems to know much about ”Her”… Klein's thoughts whirred as he said vaguely, ”I infiltrated Saint Samuel Cathedral and attempted to steal a Sealed Artifact, but in the end…”
He didn't go into the details, because he had no idea how he encountered the lady.
Klein believed that as an angel, it was impossible for the lady to keep living behind Saint Samuel Cathedral's Chanis Gate. There was nothing in there that required an important figure like ”Her” to keep watch on the entire time!
