1162 Prophecy (2/2)
On the one hand, frequent attempts were indeed able to test the limits of Amon's powers. By expending the ”items” that ”He” had previously stolen, Klein could establish a good foundation for the final battle. But on the other hand, he would also expose his trump cards. After all, he was in a passive state and had no chance to prepare. To force Amon to showcase more of the means available to ”Him,” it required him to use the few trump cards he had.
If his countermeasures were all figured out by Amon after his repeated attempts, he wouldn't have any chance of escaping.
An attempt to escape was a double-edged sword. If one wasn't careful, one would cut oneself!
It was precisely because of this that Klein didn't blindly take action, and carefully made plans in his heart.
As he spoke, he walked out of the city that originally worshiped the Mutant King and later believed in the ancient sun god. There were only white bones and several stone structures that had been weathered by the elements here that showcased its former prosperity.
Outside the city, there was an endless wilderness that couldn't be seen in the lightning.
…
At 7 Pinster Street, Leonard sat on a sofa. He placed his feet on the coffee table and leisurely flipped through the day's newspaper.
Yesterday, George III's death had brought them copious amounts of work. He had spent the entire night on duty, and he received five hours of rest today.
After sleeping for two hours, Leonard woke up in high spirits, attempting to understand the current situation from the normal media.
In fact, as the captain of a Red Gloves team, he knew more than the reporters about certain aspects. For example, in the outskirts of Backlund, where the Tudor ruin was located, it had collapsed into a rather large lake. It had nearly affected Dwayne Dantès's Maygur Manor. Another was the death of George III, who had self-destructed at the square, but wasn't the actual person. The search for his corpse was to no avail, as though he had vanished into thin air that night.
Of course, Leonard was extremely certain that George III was already dead. The eldest prince was about to inherit the title of Balam Emperor and Loen King.
Back then, something had happened at Sefirah Castle. This matter definitely has something to do with Mr. Fool… Klein had long warned us about George III… The reactions of the three Churches were very strange. Even the Church of the Lord of Storms, which is most prone to acting rash, wasn't too angry… As Leonard flipped through the newspaper, his thoughts wandered casually.
At this moment, his mind was filled with the slightly-aged voice of Pallez Zoroast:
”Gehrman Sparrow's messenger is here.”
Leonard suddenly looked up and saw the angel-level messenger wearing a dark and complicated long dress appear in front of him.
The four blonde, red-eyed heads held by Reinette Tinekerr spoke one after another:
”Gehrman…” ”Sparrow…” ”Has encountered…” ”Extreme…”
”Danger…” ”He has…” ”Gone…” ”Missing…”
Klein has encountered danger and disappeared? Leonard immediately retracted his legs and stood up.
Without waiting for the reminder provided by Pallez Zoroast, his spiritual perception stirred as he blurted out, ”Is it related to the death of George III?”
”Yes…” ”He…” ”Destroyed…” ”The Apotheosis…” ”Ritual…” ”Of…” ”George…” ”III…” The eight red eyes on Reinette Tinekerr's four heads looked at Leonard.
Apotheosis ritual? Although Leonard was anxious, he was still shocked by the phrase.
For someone to hold an apotheosis ritual, one had to be a Sequence 1 angel at the very least. Yet, Klein was able to directly participate in something at that level… Mr. Fool's plan? Leonard's green eyes glimmered slightly. Relying on his relatively rich experience, he pointedly asked, ”What happened to Klein the last time you saw him?”
The four blonde, red-eyed heads of Reinette Tinekerr shook and said, ”Possibly…” Under…” ”Zaratul's…” ”Pursuit…”
As Gehrman Sparrow's messenger, this Ancient Bane was able to sense that ”Her” employer had also left the Tudor ruins after escaping.
And as for those who understood the means of a Scholar of Yore, they were undoubtedly High-Sequence Beyonders of the same pathway. Therefore, Zaratul would definitely be able to obstruct and pursue him.
Zaratul? The leader of the Secret Order, the Sequence 1 angel, Zaratul? As Leonard was worried about Klein, he felt fear and concern for the life of his former colleague.
At that moment, a deep voice sounded in his mind:
”Ask 'Her' what other clues 'She' has.”
Leonard immediately did as he was asked.
Reinette Tinekerr seemed to know that Leonard wasn't simple. She repeated Queen Mystic's prophecy word by word.
After listening to what was said, Pallez Zoroast fell silent for a while before sighing.
”Error…
”I think I know about your former colleague's current situation.”
Leonard subconsciously wanted to ask, but because there were outsiders around, he held back his urge.
Pallez paused and continued, ”The anomaly with Sefirah Castle attracted Zaratul. How could Amon not notice it?
”This should be related to the struggle for Sefirah Castle.”
Sefirah Castle… Leonard slowly took a deep breath and said to Reinette Tinekerr, ”He might've fallen into the hands of Amon.”
After Miss Messenger's four heads nodded and turned to leave, Leonard immediately sat down and clasped his hands. Closing his eyes, he prayed.
”The Fool that doesn't belong to this era…”
