Chapter 81 Interception
The biggest reason why Roger was able to be sure that Qilingos' plan was still to assassinate Duke Negan at the ball was the fact that he had sneaked into Baron Gramiel's manor.

Because in the original novel, Qilingos changed into the appearance of Baron Glamir by killing the poor baron and then using the "Faceless Man" ability of "Creeping Hunger" to graze.

After this, he could use Baron Gramire's noble status to sneak into Duke Negan's mansion and wait for an opportunity to assassinate the latter at the ball.

Roger, having grasped the situation, set up a simple altar in the inn and passed the news of his arrival in Backlund and his readiness to fulfill his agreement with the Hanged Man to the gray fog.

At this moment, Klein and Dunn Smith were sitting in a carriage, preparing to investigate a psychic incident.

As the carriage jolted, a whispering, illusory voice suddenly reached Klein's ears.

"Someone is praying to me? Who is it?"

Klein was somewhat puzzled, and at this moment, the carriage had already arrived at its destination.

"Captain, wait for me for a moment, I have to pee urgently."

Dunn looked at him amusedly, nodded, and let him go generously.

Klein quickly found a small restaurant, excused himself for disturbing him, and locked the bathroom door.

He then sealed off his surroundings with a spiritual wall, walked four steps backward, chanted a spell, and arrived above the gray fog.

"You are a fool who does not belong to this era..."

He immediately saw that the rust-colored star representing the "Wheel of Fortune" was emitting bursts of prayer sounds.

Klein's heart moved, and he flicked it slightly. He immediately saw Roger sitting at a clean table, his hands folded in prayer:

"Dear Mr. Fool, I have arrived in Backlund and am ready to fulfill my agreement with Mr. The Hanged Man.

"Please help me convey this matter to Miss Justice and Mr. Hanged Man, and ask them to provide necessary assistance when necessary.

"Especially Miss Justice, she's going to have the opportunity to play a very big role."

Roger also did not forget to remind Audrey.

Although this "audience" lady would most likely notice Baron Gramire's abnormality, he still emphasized it to be on the safe side.

"Metus? Is he really going to kill Qilingos?"

Putting aside others, Klein had witnessed Roger instantly killing the Sequence 7 "Hermit" Samuel Schmidt like a chicken or a dog.

In addition, the other party's character has always been that he will not do anything without certainty, so he fully believes that Roger has the ability to kill "Vice Admiral Hurricane"!
As Mr. Fool, he immediately responded:

"I see."

"I see……"

Roger was completely relieved after receiving Klein's response.

At this moment, as long as Audrey performed normally, he would be able to find the right opportunity to catch Qilingos.

……

The next day, at Duke Negan's mansion.

Audrey Hall looked at the elegant Baron Gramire, dressed in gorgeous clothes, and felt a strange feeling in her heart.

Audrey was quite familiar with this noble baron, but he was a little different today.

Compared to the Baron Gramire of the past, he seemed quite confident today, which made Audrey feel quite strange.

Not only that, the scent of the "amber" perfume on Baron Gramiel was unusual. It was no longer the base note as usual, but an unusual middle note.

This means that Baron Gramiel sprayed the perfume closer to the start of the ball today.

This was also very unusual, because for a sophisticated Loen noble, the time to spray perfume was not only a matter of etiquette, but also a personal business card that would not be easily changed.

The differences in these details are difficult for ordinary people to notice, but for Audrey, who is already a "spectator", they are still too eye-catching!
Audrey immediately recalled the message conveyed by Mr. Fool. He had said that he would play a crucial role in the pursuit of Qilingos!

Thinking of this, Audrey no longer hesitated.

She immediately went to her father, Earl Hall, and found an excuse to take him aside.

Earl Hall originally thought that his daughter was just throwing a tantrum, but after listening to Audrey's unusually detailed account of Baron Gramire and her conjecture that he was a disguised Qilingos, he finally revealed a solemn expression.

He asked Audrey to go to the lounge to find her mother, and he would find a way to deal with the matter.

Audrey felt a little relieved after receiving Earl Hall's consent. On the way, she borrowed the "Lord of the Storm" prayer room in Duke Negan's house, curled up in a corner away from the Holy Emblem of the Storm, and prayed to Mr. Fool.

Later, through Klein's operation, Alger and Roger both received the news and immediately took action.

……

When the ball was halfway through, the nobles who were originally toasting each other suddenly felt a strong wind raging in the ballroom.

The next moment, the huge crystal chandelier seemed to have its chains cut by an invisible wind blade and fell straight onto the dance floor!
This suddenly made the scene dark, and screams of terror rang out one after another.

In the darkness, the glove on the left hand of Qilingos, who was disguised as Baron Gramire, moved and changed.

He quickly approached Duke Negan, and in an instant, the extraordinary bodyguards following Duke Negan lost their ability to fight!

Just as Qilingos was about to kill Duke Negan, the latter suddenly used the "Judgment" ability of "Arbitrator" Sequence 6 and started fighting with him!

Qilingos used his "nightmare" ability to escape Duke Negan's "death" sentence. When he was about to kill the duke, the other party's figure suddenly dissipated like a shadow.

At the same time, Duke Negan appeared at the end of the corridor with a playful smile.

"Is this...a trap?"

Qi Lingos was horrified. He immediately realized that there were at least two Beyonders lying in ambush for him.

They were well prepared!

Knowing that the situation was hopeless, Vice Admiral Hurricane immediately used the "deterrence" ability of the "psychologist" to control the nobles around him, making the scene even more chaotic.

A hurricane surrounded him as he rushed towards the bay window, shattering the glass, and then, with the help of the wind, flew into the municipal park!

Qilingos had conducted advance exploration of the terrain here and planned an escape route.

As long as he could leave the municipal park, he could blend into the crowd and escape using his ability to change his appearance!

Qilingos used the power of the Wind Blessed One to pass through the woods and cross the artificial lake, and finally got rid of the Beyonder who was chasing him.

The way out of the park was right in front of him. In less than 20 seconds, he could leave here and blend into Hillston, Backlund's most prosperous district!

However, at this moment, a very low and melodious singing voice appeared in Qilingos ears.

“Are you going to Bayam Market on this trip?
"It is she who awakens the blue Sonia Sea

"And it just slept through a long night
Hypnotized by the swirling clear water and lulled into a dream..."

Bayam Bazaar?
Why do you sing with such a low voice?

Qi Lingos's heart was filled with nonsensical doubts, and for a moment he had forgotten the purpose of his escape.

In fact, he couldn't.

Qi Lingos, whose whole body was out of control, tried to turn his head, but saw a "wandering singer" sitting on the ground. He was dressed very elegantly.

The singer was playing with a rather fat tabby cat on the ground, humming the ballad that the sailors were very familiar with!

 That’s it for today, I hope you all like it.

  Just a small preview, the story of the Tingen arc will be concluded this week, and then the Backlund arc will begin!
