Mystery: A Spark

Therefore, although Arthur experienced a slight reduction in the arsonist's potion within his body during the burning of the Blackthorn Security Company,

However, he had already lowered the priority of using this method of digestion in his mind.

There's no other reason than that this kind of acting style is too easy to attract hatred.

After all, to get better feedback from the potion digestion, you need to burn down buildings of great significance.

But since those buildings were so important, how could they be easily allowed to be burned down by Arthur?

Therefore, using burning buildings as a means of impersonating an arsonist's potion is not advisable for Arthur.

He needs to find a way of acting that suits him better.

......

Earl Hall, Queens of Backlund.

"Susie, you wait outside, I'm going in to take a shower first."

Audrey patted the golden retriever's head and spoke to it with a normal expression.

"Ugh... But isn't it morning now?" Susie blinked, asking with some confusion.

"Well, as a lady, I naturally need to keep myself clean and tidy at all times. Anyway, I'll go in first, and you stay outside and don't let anyone in."

After saying that, Audrey quickly went into the bathroom.

Then, as usual, she took off her clothes and began to take a bath.

After a while, Audrey felt that the time was almost up, so she wrapped herself in a towel and began to mutter to herself:

"You are a fool who does not belong to this age;"

"You are the mysterious ruler above the gray fog;"

"You are the yellow and black king of good luck."

"I beg your ears."

“Because of the Qilingus incident, my father hired an extraordinary person to protect me, and there is also surveillance in the shadows that I am unaware of. I finally managed to find an opportunity to plead with you. I would like to ask for leave for next week’s gathering. I believe these things will soon fade away.”

Audrey knew that attending a tarot meeting so soon after the Qilingus incident would be very risky.

So, in this tense moment, she had no choice but to take a bath and ask Mr. Fool for leave from next week's tarot session.

The same thing happened to Alger the Hanged Man.

Although his description differed from Audrey's, they were praying for the same thing.

However, at this point, Klein was naturally unable to respond to their pleas.

They didn't think much of it, after all, how could a mysterious and powerful being like Mr. Fool possibly respond to their prayers all the time?

Even Hurricane General Zilingus, who possessed the powerful magical item "Crawling Hunger," was easily killed by Mr. Fool's minions.

They naturally had no doubt whatsoever about Mr. Fool's mystery and power.

......

Inside the Blackthorn Security Company, engulfed in flames, there was no one else in the house except for Arthur, who was standing, and Klein, who was lying down.

After all, putting aside the commotion from Arthur's fight with Ince Zangwell, the mere sight of Leonard throwing a Sunfire Talisman was enough to alert the clerks here that something was amiss.

These people were all insiders who had experienced the mysterious events, so naturally, they all left as quickly as possible when they sensed something was wrong.

Because they knew in their hearts that leaving here and not holding back was the biggest help they could give to the night watchmen.

Arthur looked at Klein's body on the ground and prepared to carry it out.

He believed that resurrection methods like those of a miracle worker would be easier and require less resurrection energy if the corpse was in better condition.

If he hadn't gotten Klein out of there, his body would probably have turned into a charred corpse.

In this way, the amount of resurrection energy required, which may or may not even exist, would probably be even greater.

Not only that, but the charred Klein didn't look very presentable either.

Before carrying Klein's body, Arthur also put his heart back in, which Ince Zangwell had ripped out.

Just as he was about to go out, a figure with a bronze complexion and wearing a white shirt appeared in front of him.

Arthur wasn't surprised at all. He pointed to the spot where Ince Zangwell had left and said:

"That person just went down not long ago."

"He moved quickly and is no longer here," the newcomer said in a low voice.

This person was Azik Eggers, who had once served as a history teacher at Klein.

Azik looked at Klein's corpse on Arthur's back, a trace of sadness uncontrollably showing in his eyes.

His voice was a few decibels lower as he spoke to Arthur:

"I'll go after him, you take care of Klein..."

"Don't worry, I will take good care of Klein."

Seeing that Mr. Azik seemed to be having some difficulty controlling his emotions, Arthur quickly chimed in.

Azik nodded silently, took one last look at Klein's body, and then quickly disappeared.

Arthur carried Klein and ran out of the burning Blackthorn Security Company.

But the next second, he stopped in his tracks.

Because at this moment, he felt the magic potion in his body begin to digest.

Why am I feeling like I'm digesting right now? What did I just do? Arthur couldn't help but ponder.

The only thing that happened just now was Mr. Azik's arrival.

His arrival was actually closely related to Arthur.

After deciding to target Blackthorn Security Company for arson, Arthur began preparations.

If we want to burn this place down in a reasonable and irresponsible way, we can't just come here directly; we can only "accidentally" burn it down during the battle.

After all, in the original story, Dunn and his two companions' battle against the True Child reduced Blackthorn Security to ruins.

Then, naturally, Arthur could burn this place down during his battle with Ince Zangwell.

But if you want to fight Ince Zangwell here, the first thing you need to deal with is that quill pen.

Even if Ince Zangwell couldn't wield the pen well, just one sentence he could write during the battle would be devastating for Arthur.

Therefore, to prevent Ince Zangwell from using this pen in this battle, they need to find someone of sufficient weight to restrain him.

Mr. Azik, who was once the Death Archon and also had a great hatred for Ince Zangwell, was naturally the best choice.

Therefore, not long ago, Arthur went to meet with Mr. Azik and left him some information.

Even the trip Arthur sent Arthas to Backlund a couple of days ago was all so that Mr. Azik could return earlier than in the original story.

This will put immense pressure on Ince Zangwill, preventing him from using his quill to deal with Arthur in this battle, and instead forcing him to use it to delay Mr. Azik's return.

This gave Arthur the ability to barely hold his own against Ince Zangwill, which allowed him to take the opportunity to set the fire.

What if Mr. Azik manages to overcome the quill pen's delay and actually comes back in time to kill Ince Zangwell?

Arthur's response was, "So what if we killed him? It's no big deal."

The only value of Ince Zangwell was that he took on the task of delivering pens.

Since he can do this task, Arthur can do it too.

Besides, the goddess and the blond priest have a million schemes between them, and Arthur doesn't think they only have this one plan.

These two are like Batman from DC; when they carry out Plan A, they've already prepared Plans B all the way up to Plan Z.

So why would Arthur's invitation to Mr. Azik to hunt down Ince Zangwell allow Mr. Azik to process the arsonist potion within him?

After some thought, Arthur had some guesses in his mind.

He believes that the essence of arson is actually destruction and annihilation.

But what did Arthur's actions destroy?

He thwarted Ince Zangwell's plan to some extent, preventing the latter from obtaining Saint Selena's ashes unscathed as in the original story and then naturally ascending to demigod status.

Mr. Azik's pursuit will inevitably make Ince Zangwell run around like a rabbit.

This will naturally greatly delay his promotion.

Therefore, Arthur believed that the slight feeling of potion digestion he had just experienced was because he had disrupted Ince Zangwill's plans to some extent.

The reason there is only a small amount is because Arthur has not completely ruined his plan.

If Mr. Azik successfully catches up with Ince Zangwell and kills him, then Arthur should receive the subsequent digestive feedback.

After escaping the burning security company, Arthur first settled Klein's body and tidied his appearance.

Then, he walked over to Leonard, who was lying not far away, injured and kicked down the stairs by Ince Zangwell.

At this moment, Leonard had a deep scratch on his chest and abdomen. He was lying on the ground, barely able to breathe.

Arthur crouched down, first examining his injuries, then asked with a grave expression:

"Is there anything else you want to say?"

Leonard twitched the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing an awkward smile.

Am I... going to die?

Arthur pursed his lips and remained silent.

Leonard took a deep breath and said:

"That's fine... at least Klein won't be alone."

“I always thought I was the protagonist of the era, like... Emperor Rosell...”

"But just now... I couldn't even protect my own teammate. Heh... It's better for someone like me to die... so I won't have to... face... his brother... and sister..."

Leonard's voice became choked with emotion as he said:

"It's such a pity... I can't see the captain one last time before I die... What a regret..."

He turned to look at Arthur, his voice becoming urgent, and said:
