1082 Sudden Turn of Events (1/2)
160 Boklund Street, inside Dwayne Dantes's mansion.
After ”Teleporting” back, Klein didn't delay at all. He immediately set up an altar and held a ritual to pray to Death.
”You are the essence of death;
You are the lord of the dead;
”You are the final home to all living beings.
”I pray for your help. I pray that you will know how to resolve the problem of the Red Angel evil spirit. 'He' has possessed the body of a Gatekeeper and is cooperating with the Numinous Episcopate's High Priest, Haiter. He has come to Backlund and been made an assistant to Patrick Bryan...”
With regard to this matter, there was really no choice but to seek help from the Evernight Goddess.
Ignoring the possibility of seeking out the ascetic leader, Arianna, in a cooperation effort, or whether he had the ability to get finish off Sauron Einhom Medici, even if he could, once the Red Angel evil spirit disappeared, the Numinous Episcopate's Artificial Death faction's High Priest would immediately understand that something major had happened here. ”He” could then connect it to other abnormalities and determined that there was something wrong with Artificial Death's condition. Then, using ”His” own level and status, possible Sealed Artifacts, and ”His” familiarity with the pathway, ”He” might be able to create mutually harmful acts of destruction.
And if he ignored the Red Angel, this evil spirit who was a Conspirer wouldn't take long to detect something abnormal with Patrick Bryan. With ”His” knowledge and intelligence, it wasn't difficult to guess the nature of the problem.
No matter how I deal with it, it'll be a problem. As expected of an angel in the War domain. Even if ”He” is a three-in- one Spirit Body, ”He” can still create unresolvable problems for others. This must've actually been an idea that ”He” gave Haiter...
Actually, I do have an extreme idea; that is to let the Red Angel evil spirit be killed by other Churches, official organizations, or secret organizations for another whole different matter. In short, anything related to the Goddess cannot come center stage. Things must be made very clear...
The difficulty with this approach is how to let an extremely experienced, high-ranking member of the conspiring domain fall into a trap... If I don't handle it well, it might backfire on me... After the prayer ended, Klein casually let his thoughts wander as he waited patiently for the Evernight Goddess to give him a response.
After more than ten seconds, the herbal dregs that pleased the deity were swept up by an invisible wind. They flew out and landed on the table, forming words:
”His' coming spells the raising of arms.”
What does that mean? Looking at the sentence that gave him a sense of deja vu, he frowned slightly.
As a Seer, he habitually interpreted it:
Due to the king's problem, Loen has fallen into the shadows of war. Hence, the Red Angel that symbolizes war came. This means that it might no longer be possible to stop the war.
Upon reaching Sequence 1, one would become a symbol of certain phenomena.
As these thoughts flashed through Klein's mind, the invisible wind came to a stop. The altar which was completely isolated by the wall of spirituality turned extremely silent.
There are no other revelations? After waiting for a while, Klein confirmed that this was all, so he ended the ritual and cleared the altar.
He then walked to the sofa in the room and sat down to see if anything else would happen.
After a full fifteen minutes, he didn't usher in the arrival of the matron of the Evemight cloister, the leader of the thirteen archbishops, angel of Concealment, Arianna.
I don't have to deal with the Red Angel evil spirit, and I should just leave ”Him” be? Or, there's another solution, but my involvement isn't needed? In essence, he wasn't a devout believer of Evernight. Since the Goddess said that he didn't need to bother about it, he naturally couldn't be bothered to do so. After all, this matter was not only extremely troublesome for him, but it was also extremely dangerous.
Shaking his head, Klein took out a pen and paper from his pocket and began a dream divination.
What had happened tonight made him feel that he couldn't waste any time. He had to digest the Bizarro Sorcerer potion as soon as possible.
Above the Fog Sea, inside a steam-powered merchant ship that was extremely close to a pirate ship.
One by one, the men and older women were tied up and pushed to the edge of the deck. Then, the pirates either used their hands or legs to throw them into the sea.
The splashing sounds didn't affect the pirates at all, guffawing over this bloodless massacre.
After clearing the captives, they carried their guns and lanterns to the shipboard, preparing to enjoy the pitiful bugs' struggling.
However, under the light, the dark blue sea beside the boat quietly undulated. No one was there.
”They sank so quickly,” a pirate blurted out in surprise.
The leader of this pirate crew frowned. After looking at it for a while, he said, ”Perhaps some sea monsters passed by and treated those who dared resist us as food bestowed by the gods.
”Perfect timing. If we feed it, it won't attack us...”
Upon saying this, the leader waved his hand.
”Everyone, enjoy yourselves!”
As a fairly experienced pirate, he knew that there were many strange things at sea. It was best not to seek out the reason and try to figure out the truth. Since it didn't harm him or his crew, he would thank the Lord of Storms for his blessings, doing so as though nothing had happened.
After making sure that there were people on duty, the pirates began gulping down copious amounts of alcohol, ate huge chunks of meat, and sang loudly, and fought for the rights to the young female captives.
In the noisy and lively atmosphere, the pirate leader led a beautiful passenger that he had long taken a liking to into the captain's room. He eagerly began the final process for that night of revelry.
In the middle of the night, the tired pirate leader stretched out his right hand and touched something cold.
He jolted awake. Through the crimson moonlight shining through the window, he saw a piece of coarse wood in his arms.
A series of branches with green leaves grew out from the wooden block, hugging him like a human's limbs.
Pa!
The pirate leader's pupils rapidly dilated. As he pushed away the wood, jumped off the bed, and stumbled back.
Was I with such a thing previously? His mind was filled with terror. He couldn't care less about his clothes, picking up a flintlock and cutlass before leaving the room immediately.
Outside, there was a pirate on duty.
