Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 1160 A Busy Day in the Gray Mist

In the city of Constanton, Klein, who had just finished a day's work as a "humanoid self-propelled wish-making machine", returned to his temporary residence. He calculated the "power of wishes" he had accumulated bit by bit, and assessed when he could repair this city that was severely damaged in the war.

As his wishes accumulated little by little, he could only repair one house at first, then half a street, and finally, with just a snap of his fingers, the whole city could return to its original state in an instant.

Except for the dead, they cannot return... Thinking of this, Klein sighed and piled up the various books he had collected today, preparing to sacrifice them all to the gray fog.

"Intis Dessert Making Encyclopedia", "Introduction to Mechanical Repair", "Train Dispatching Guide", "Ladies' Aesthetics"... Looking at the thick books, Klein felt that his future was very bleak, and he even didn't want to continue playing the role of "miracle worker".

"But to create a town with thousands of puppets, each with its own life, this knowledge is essential. Otherwise, everyone will just be a puppet of a history student like me, and the whole town will not function properly..."

He encouraged himself, offered the professional knowledge guide books of various industries to The Fool, and then he also came to the top of the gray fog.

Familiar with various professional books, inventing a "personality" for each puppet, and designing a reasonable life trajectory to make everyone intersect... Klein roughly estimated that the entire project would take several months to complete, so he did not wait until the "Miracle Master" was fully digested before starting, but planned to do it bit by bit now.

Sitting on the high-backed chair of The Fool, he split into a number of spiritual worms, which transformed into clones on the seats of Tarot Club members such as The Queen and The Hanged Man, and each of them grabbed a book and opened it.

He clicked on the crimson star belonging to the "Magician" Fors and began to watch the process of this "Traveler" being promoted to "Mystic Mage".

With the resources of the Abraham family, she had already prepared the corresponding materials long ago, and her own Sequence 5 potions were digested while helping to transport food and rescue personnel during the war. After the war, she finally found an opportunity and made all preparations for promotion.

In the sight of the prayer light, Klein saw that with the help of her teacher Dorian, Fors successfully used the various abilities she had recorded to reseal a demigod creature that had been released from the seal "Devil's Oil Painting", thus fulfilling the ritual requirements of the "Mystic" - sealing a demigod or a stronger, hostile creature. The less reliance on external forces, the better the effect of the ritual.

Of course, the abilities recorded by the traveler himself are not included, but the seal of the devil's oil painting itself is an external force, and it is a seal of a high rank.

This caused some problems in Fors's state when she took the potion. Klein could notice the instability of her spirituality and thoughts through the gray fog, like a branch swaying wildly in the wind.

Fortunately, this Tarot Club member made a wish to Mr. Fool before the ceremony. This not only activated the prayer light spot, allowing Klein to watch the "live broadcast", but also gave him the opportunity to intervene at this time.

Dong—he tapped the table lightly, using the status of "Source Castle" and his own ability as a miracle worker to amplify Fors's probability of "successful promotion".

This is what the "Yellow and Black King Who Controls Good Luck" should do, not using paper and pen to build a secret doll town... Looking at the busy clone beside him, Klein smiled self-deprecatingly until Fors in the prayer light stabilized. He opened his eyes that had not yet restrained their overflowing spirituality, looked around in surprise, and immediately began to pray to the "Fool" to express his gratitude.

Now, except for Miss Judgment, all members of the Tarot Club are demigods. With the addition of the two angels, Angel and I, we are finally like a powerful secret organization... He just sighed when he heard Fors's prayer. The content of the prayer changed his expression and he was stunned on the spot.

"Immediately after the promotion, I heard Mr. Door's voice and had a conversation with him?
“His claim to be half-crazy is consistent with previous speculation, but in Roselle’s diary, the Angel King behaved quite normally. Is it a disguise or a switch between two states?

“He provided two ways to escape. One is what He told Angel before, and the other is a new one that requires the use of the blood of 99 extraordinary people from Abraham’s family… Their family has been cursed for a thousand years. Are there still so many extraordinary people?

"If Bethel Abraham wanted to return to reality, he shouldn't have uttered delirium every time there was a full moon or a blood moon, causing his bloodline descendants to die suddenly or go out of control. If he didn't want to return, why did he act so actively when communicating with Roselle, Angel, and even Fors, who had just been promoted to a demigod...

"Something's wrong..."

After listening to what Magician Fors reported during prayer, Klein muttered to himself and fell into deep thought.

After hesitating for a moment, he summoned from the gaps in history the "Master Key" formed by the characteristics of the out-of-control members of Abraham's family and the "Crimson Moon Corona" that could create a full moon, and pressed them together.

Soon, a low roar came into his mind through the gray fog. This time, as he already had the status of an angel and controlled the "Source Castle", he no longer needed to worry about the pollution contained in it, and he quickly identified the content of the roar.

"Don't save me... Don't save me..."

After a moment, this repetitive roar was replaced by another word that was a little more urgent but no longer crazy:
"Help me...save me..."

The completely different contents before and after made Klein's back shiver. He frowned and listened carefully for half a minute, and then the two objects returned to the mist of history.

He was now certain that the "Don't save me" that sounded like he had fallen into madness and screamed with the power of the King of Angels, causing the death of Abraham's descendants, was from the sober Bethel Abraham, while the one who kept asking for help, and even communicated with people calmly, using knowledge to gain trust, was the crazy Mr. "Door". This was consistent with his and Angel's previous cautious speculation, but now that both of them knew the existence of the "Outer Gods", it had an additional meaning:
Mr. Men has been corrupted and controlled by an outer god. His request for help is essentially an attempt to bring the power of the outer god into the real world. However, when he was awake, he said "don't save me" and cursed his bloodline descendants, which was to cut off the possibility of his own rescue. This made it impossible for the Abraham family to gather 99 extraordinary people or have a demigod, and thus could not meet the requirements of the ritual!
What a spirit of sacrifice... Klein pursed his lips and carefully drafted a reply to the "Magician", asking her to selectively tell these things to the members of the Abraham family, in order to dissuade them from taking Mr. Men back and avoid "inviting the outsider gods into the pass."

Of course, as a "fool", I definitely can't respond to this kind of thing immediately, I can just leave her alone for a while.

Just as he made up his mind, another crimson star began to twinkle.

Who is this again? I’m just a poor “miracle worker” who’s working overtime. Why do I have to endure so much… Klein muttered, glanced at him, and immediately smiled. He clicked on the stars and listened to the content of the “Queen” Angel’s prayer.

"Antigonus was released from the palace of the Kingdom of Night? He was also planning to help the Church of Night fight against the Rose School? Well, maybe as Angel guessed, his sister was in the hands of the goddess and had no choice but to submit...

"The 'Bound God' is actually the God of Spirits of the Second Era? I didn't expect that He who disappeared from the Redemption Rose would be controlled by the 'Mother Tree of Desire' and forced to have a child. The ending of choosing the wrong path is too tragic... From a certain perspective, Tolzner's situation is similar to Mr. Men's...

"The messenger promised to strike at the Rose School, which will be helpful for His revenge and resurrection..."

While listening to Angel's prayer, Klein muttered to himself and quickly replied to Angel in the image of "The Fool", telling her to be careful of Antigonus and not to let her guard down just because "Mother of Heaven" was under the control of the church.

After doing all this, Klein leaned back in his chair and let out a long sigh.

But within a few seconds, another crimson star floating around lit up, and the halo representing prayer continued to spread, as if beckoning him to check.

Who is this... Klein's fists, which were placed on the long bronze table, were stiff.

He pulled himself together and made careful observations before realizing that the person reciting the name of the Fool was actually the "Mysterious Queen", Bernadette Gustave, who had previously collaborated with him to destroy the tomb of George III and was therefore given the name of the "Fool".

Wasn’t she tracking down the “King of the Five Seas” together with “Balancer” Annie? Did she make some new discoveries?
Thinking of this, Klein became interested and clicked on the prayer light representing the former Princess Intis.

The Fool sees Bernadette dressed as a captain, Anne Gustave beside her, the luxurious captain's room, and the scenes around the Dawn.

"…He tracked down 'King of the Five Seas' Nast to a mysterious island and hoped that I could provide him with shelter?"

After listening to Bernadette's prayer, Klein was thoughtful.

He had learned from Angel before that the eldest daughter of Emperor Roselle went deep into the Misty Sea to track down Nast, who was contaminated by the "Fallen Mother Goddess", and took the "Queen Anne's Revenge" with her. And long before that, she and the "World" Gehrman Sparrow had discussed that the location of Roselle's hidden mausoleum was likely to be deep in the Misty Sea.

Therefore, Klein has been paying attention to this matter. On the one hand, he doesn't want his fellow villager's daughter to meet with an accident due to the pollution of the Outer Gods. On the other hand, he is also very curious about the location of Roselle's final mausoleum.

Now the two things happened together. According to the previous investigation of Nast, he was most likely looking for Roselle's tomb, and he also received help from the "School of Truth"... Klein thought about it and did not immediately respond to Bernadette's prayer. Instead, he cast a trace of thought towards the star belonging to Angel.

A moment later, he pulled Angel, who was far away in the southern continent searching for the "Rose School", into the gray fog.

……

As soon as he opened his eyes in the gray fog, Angel found more than a dozen Kleins sitting beside him. Some of them were lying on the long bronze table, listlessly flipping through thick books, some were chewing on the pen tips in their hands, their hair was messed up by themselves, and some were writing furiously with piles of manuscripts in front of them.

The only one who was free was Klein himself, who held the high position of "The Fool".

I thought it was hard enough for my mirror image to spend most of its time in the "City of Disaster". It seems that the "Master of Secret Dolls" is more experienced in exploiting clones and puppets... She muttered a few words, feeling that sooner or later one of Klein's puppets or clones would try to overthrow his tyranny and become the master.

It was not until Klein relayed Bernadette's prayer to her that she stopped having such absurd thoughts in her mind.

"You mean, the final resting place of Emperor Roselle might be on that island?"
