Mystery: emerging from the wilderness of knowledge

Chapter 676 Chaotic Situation

Magician Fors leaned forward slightly, pressing her hands against the edge of the table. She was feeling extremely conflicted at the moment.

On one hand, there is the hatred of the teacher's family, and on the other hand, the commission may offend a member of the Tarot Club, a very powerful member at that.

There shouldn't be any danger, right? With Mr. Fool here, Mr. White Tower will definitely not do anything to me, a member of the Tarot Club. At most, he will just warn Butis in advance and ask him to be careful.

But as long as the "Secret Saint" is still active on the battlefield of the southern continent, there will always be a chance to hunt him down. He can also disguise himself as an official Intis Beyonder and put the blame on them. But the battlefield is equally dangerous for others, and with the existence of Mr. "White Tower", it is estimated that no one will be willing to accept this commission.

While thinking, she subconsciously turned her gaze to the "world" Gehrman Sparrow, who was known as the crazy adventurer.

Feeling the sight of Miss Magician, Klein made the World speak in a mute voice:

"I will be staying in Backlund for some time. There are some very important matters that need to be dealt with here."

Fors nodded with some regret. She had expected the World to reject her, but she was a little surprised by the other party's reason. She seriously suspected that Backlund was planning something big again.

Could it be that Feysac had another round of airstrikes against Backlund? However, since the church and military in Loen were prepared, doing so would not be very meaningful and might even lead to an ambush.

Fors's thoughts were uncontrollably scattered, and she once again had the idea of ​​getting away from Backlund and finding a safe place to play the role of a "traveler" with peace of mind.

As she was thinking, she heard Renekton, who was sitting across the mottled table, chuckle and say, as if he was interested in their topic:

"If any of you are willing to accept Miss Magician's mission, I can provide some help, such as interfering with the gaze of the True Creator, or helping to retreat at the end of the mission."

"Star" Leonard looked at Renekton in surprise, then he seemed to have thought of something and said:

"I can also provide some help, a powerful talisman, some suggestions and references on the plan."

Your alliance is really fragile. Should I also intervene? Since the conflict between Amon and the "True Creator" father and son has eased, then He is my enemy.

After sighing silently in his heart, Klein looked at Renekton, then manipulated the "world" Gehrman Sparrow and spoke:

"I can also provide some help, powerful magical items, spells, and references for plans."

"Although I don't know why you are willing to help, thank you all the same."

After giving her thanks, Magician Fors was still a little dazed, but she could see that with the addition of White Tower, Stars, and World, Mr. Chariot seemed to be a little moved.

The Hermit Cattleya took a deep look at the few people and did not express her opinion. The queen was right. The parties that made up the new regime of the southern continent were actually at odds with each other. They were only bound together by interests, not by cooperation based on shared ideas.

As an "audience", "Justice" Audrey observed more from the reactions of Renekton, Leonard and others. The reason why Fors issued this commission should be related to her teacher. Mr. "White Tower" and Mr. "World" seemed to be happy to see the power of the "True Creator" being weakened. As for Mr. "Star", his performance showed mostly hatred and disgust.

As everyone thought about this with different expressions, "Tank" Anderson leaned back in his chair, raised his right hand and said:
"Okay, your continued efforts have attracted me. I will collect information and discuss the follow-up if there is a possibility of success."

Magician Fors nodded and directly told Anderson the information he knew about Butis.

After their conversation ended, Emlyn the Moon looked around, his eyes fell on Leonard the Star, and asked:
"If you are an official Beyonder, how would you deal with a clergyman from a hostile force under your jurisdiction during a war?"

"He has not, and does not intend to, do anything bad."

Although he was no longer in Backlund, he had a good impression of Father Utravsky after spending a long time with him. After learning that Feynaport had also joined the war, he had been somewhat worried about the safety of this priest who was preaching in Backlund, and whether this priest would cause security problems for Backlund.

Does this guy really think of himself as a member of the Church of the Earth? Is it the destiny of vampires to believe in the "Mother Earth Goddess"? Where is your vampire pride?
Leonard glanced at Emlyn, the "moon" who had been staring at him, and was silent for two seconds before saying:

"Protective custody."

He knew very well who the other party was talking about. He did not believe what Emlyn added. For a person favored by God or a fanatic, the standard of good and bad might be different from that of a normal person.

After answering Emlyn's question, Leonard glanced at the "world" at the bottom of the mottled long table, then his eyes fell on Renekton, and asked curiously:

"Is there anything big going on in Backlund recently?" Renekton probably understood what Leonard really wanted to ask. He was silent for two seconds, then chuckled and said:

"Of course, but it has nothing to do with you. You were left in Backlund mainly to attract Amon, or other high-ranking beings from these three paths to come, so that they can form a balance and restrain each other."

Seeing this, Klein manipulated the "world" and added:

"The leader of the Secret Order, Sequence One Zaratul, is staying in Backlund."

"'Fortune Teller', 'Thief', and 'Apprentice' are three adjacent paths."

A picture subconsciously flashed through the mind of Magician Fors. It was the picture of the last time she saw her teacher. A strange crow was resting on the gas lamp post on the street. Sometimes not knowing much is a blessing, as it can avoid many silent and extremely deadly dangers.

Everyone took turns to share their doubts and information, and soon the topic was brought back to the war.

The Hermit Cattleya looked around the hall and said with some regret:
"Currently, all the kingdoms, the Orthodox Church, and most of the secret organizations in the northern and southern continents are caught in war, but they have tacitly restrained themselves and do not interfere with each other."

"This is inevitable." The World Gehrman Sparrow sighed and added:

"Everyone is waiting for the people at the center of the conflict to decide the winner. Before that, they will have their own inclinations, but they will not bet completely, at least not before the final war between gods breaks out."

".God War?" "Justice" Audrey, "Hermit" Cattleya and the others fell silent at the same time, with the same thought running through their minds. From the end of the Fourth Epoch to the end of the Fifth Epoch, is the God War finally about to happen? This will also mean that the Fifth Epoch is about to come to an end!
After a long silence, "Sun" Derrick broke the silence:
"The six-member council of Silver City has passed a decision and is ready to set out to explore the Giant King's Court."

After "The Hanged Man" Alger and "The World" Gehrman Sparrow gave Little Sun some advice, today's Tarot reading came to an end.

At the signal from Klein the Fool, everyone stood up and saluted. Deep red light rose up, dissolving their bodies and carrying them away from the palace above the gray fog.

After Justice, the Moon, the Hanged Man and others left, Klein made his trumpet, The World, disappear as well.

He looked at Renekton, who was lazily leaning on a high-back chair, and Azik, who was sitting upright like the teacher in the university office in Tingen, and spoke calmly:

"I have obtained the spiritual coordinates of the place where the 'Hound of Fulgrim' often appears from 'Red Light' Al Moria, and I plan to go and take a look later."

"The threats from the demigods on the battlefield and the publicity of the horror stories I created by the newspapers made my magic potion digest quickly."

In the basement of Saint Samuel Church in the western district of Backlund, in a separate lounge belonging to the captain of the Red Gloves Squad.

Leonard, who was half leaning on his chair, suddenly opened his eyes. He first looked around subconsciously, then lowered his voice and said:
"Old man, the leader of the Secret Order, Zaratul, is staying in Backlund. Also, the church seems to be planning to use you to attract Amon and other high-ranking beings from your three paths to Backlund."

Pales's old voice echoed in Leonard's mind:
"This is not surprising. I guessed it when you were left in Backlund."

"I have been given the protection of the Night, but naturally I have to pay a certain price for this protection, alas~"

After a two-second pause, Pales continued:

"It seems that 'Night' does not intend to let the Loen royal family's plan succeed. It has attracted Amon, who has obtained the last 'Time Worm' characteristic from me. He will definitely complete the 'wrong' promotion ceremony in silence."

"Perhaps 'Dark Night' has already had a preference for the position of 'Black Emperor'. No one knows what this Mother of Secrets is thinking or planning. Or, maybe, 'She' is sure to stop Amon's promotion through the 'wrong' ceremony."

"'Error'?" Leonard keenly caught the unfamiliar term and asked curiously, "Is this the name of the Sequence 0 of the 'Thief' Pathway? It's a bit strange. What kind of ritual does 'He' need?"

"Yes, everyone knows about Sequence 0."

Pales praised him insincerely, and then said:

"The 'wrong' ritual is both simple and complex, taking His place in someone else's deification ritual."
