Mystery: The High-Dimensional Overlooker

As Klein was dragged out of the water, a "flash" came directly to the boat - the matches on his body were completely wet by the water, and there was no way to ignite or use "flame jump".

He turned around and looked around, only to find that the entire Suicide Squadron was gradually collapsing.

What's going on here? Klein thought subconsciously.

He saw the High Dimensional Overlooker standing in front of the Immortal King Agaritu, looking at the Immortal King whose body was gradually collapsing. A wall seemed to be blocking the Immortal King, preventing him from taking another step forward.

Klein looked at Gao Wei and saw that his eyes were gentle, but there was a deep coldness in his eyes.

Is this... divinity?

Looking at Gao Wei, whose expression was much different from his previous impression, Klein took two steps forward and shouted in Runeese:

"High-dimensional!"

The high-dimensional overlooker who was having fun watching the Immortal King's aura weakening step by step and gradually returning to a weak Sequence Five, immediately turned back to look at Klein after hearing Klein's words.

His eyes returned to gentleness and he said to Klein:

"The battle is over."

So soon? Klein was immediately stunned: "Are you done already?"

"After all, I was originally a demigod."

The high-dimensional overlooker responded casually: "I am naturally familiar with the special situations that will occur in the battle of demigods. Although this body can only bear the gift of Sequence Five, it is not impossible for the three Sequence Five abilities to cooperate with each other. A chance to kill a 'real' demigod."

A true demigod... Klein nodded secretly, suddenly feeling a little envious of the gift from the High-Dimensional Overlooker. However, after noticing the doubt in the High-Dimensional Overlooker's words, he immediately spoke:

"Are you saying that the Undead King Agaritu isn't a true demigod?"

"Yes."

The high-dimensional overlooker nodded, "He was originally supposed to be a Sequence Five Extraordinary of the 'Abyss' pathway, but was temporarily elevated to the level of a demigod under the infusion of his flagship, 'The Death'."

"In a sense, this can be regarded as a gift. However, this gift is corrosive. It is a high-sequence extraordinary person who forcibly injects his power into the body of a low-sequence extraordinary person, turning him into his own puppet. the process of."

High-sequence people forcibly turn low-sequence people into puppets... The more things I know, the more I feel that the extraordinary system of this world is becoming more and more twisted and weird... This was in the world before I traveled In any novel in this book, this is an "evil cultivator"...

Klein subconsciously thought in his heart, and he looked at the high-dimensional overlooker:

"Then let's leave this sea area directly now?"

"I'm afraid we can't leave now. Look over there." The High-Dimensional Overlooker turned his gaze and guided Klein to the location of the Lost Homeland. Klein subconsciously turned his head and saw that the shadow covering the huge "body" of the Death Announcement seemed to be absorbing some of the ship's Beyonder characteristics into its body and utilizing them in some way.

Is this "grazing"?

This word emerged subconsciously in Klein's mind. He looked at the Lost Home and seemed to think that this scene was similar to the scene when he used "Creeping Hunger" to herd Mr. X's spirit body.

"If nothing unexpected happens, your fleet will have one more ship."

The high-dimensional overlooker said to Klein leisurely: "The Lost Home should absorb a large part of the power of the Death and expand its hull. And the residue left after grazing will become another ship to follow. Your flagship ship turns the pirate group you lead into a 'fleet' in the true sense."

"This way, with your strength significantly increased, you can openly appear before others as Gehrman Sparrow. Generally speaking, the Church of Storms won't initiate a large-scale campaign against the 'Sea King,' and now that the True Creator has become the unspoken deity of several gods, you won't have to hide like before."

"Similarly, as the size of the team expands, more and more pirates will come to work on your ship, and there should be some adventurers among them. Of course, the only disadvantage may be the money you need. There will be more, but with compound interest, you can also go out to sea to find more treasures and get more money."

A look of pain flashed across Klein's face. He suddenly felt that the treasures looted from the Death Announcement had to be squandered like water.

The current situation forced Klein to continue searching for crew members with extraordinary abilities, because now that he had killed the Undead King, he would be designated the "Pirate King" whenever he appeared in the outside world.

Unless he abandons the ship Suicide now and stops the process of increasing the strength of the Lost Home, the news that he killed the Immortal King Agaritu will not stop spreading.

The experience of the mismatch between strength and name can be seen whether he was in the Tarot meeting pretending to be "The Fool" or from the experience of the immortal king being killed by himself - the immortal king they killed in front of them was The most obvious example.

Klein has been vaguely considering whether he should rob more evil-doing pirates before heading to the Southern Continent, and help a normal person collect the bounty.

He looked at Agaritu, who was not completely dead but had already lost his mythical creature form, and a bold idea came to his mind.

"Lao Gao, what do you think if I turn him into my long-term marionette?"

Klein lowered his voice and spoke to the High-Dimensional Overlooker. With Sefirah Castle at his disposal, he had come up with a clever trick that would help him quickly assimilate the Beyonder characteristics of the Puppet Master.

……

Northern Continent, Loen Kingdom, Backlund New Queens District.

"Dad, is this our new home?"

A young girl with bright brown eyes looked at her father and asked him softly.

Backlund's disaster caused the entire Backlund class to be re-divided. Among them, those who originally had diseases died in large numbers, and those workers in the East District basically either died of illness or He just escaped from the disaster place here and left Backlund to make a living in other cities.

For some of the lower-class civilians who had long been unable to resist Backlund's cruel social laws, the pension issued by the Kingdom of Loen this time gave them the opportunity to escape this suffocating city.

Of course, groups of workers from other places also poured in. They came to this "City of Hope" with hope in their hearts.

- Because after the disaster, the labor force here decreased sharply, and factory owners and entrepreneurs had to increase workers' wages, raising the already low wages to 20 to 30 percent higher than factories in other places.

And when the labor force is saturated, wages here will decline uncontrollably. When the time comes, the smarter people with savings will leave the city and go to other places where there is a lack of labor to make a living again;

Those with slightly mediocre vision or civilians who could not afford the steam train tickets could only stay here and continue to endure the same exploitation as the previous group of workers.

Of course, this is without any supervision.

"Praise to His Majesty the Emperor for giving us the opportunity for a better life."

Senator Morimacht, dressed in formal attire, spoke to his daughter. A faint smile crossed his face, for he had once served in East Balam as a soldier and had even served as a major in the Loen Kingdom's army.

However, he shook his head slightly and said with some disappointment, "You know, Hazel. Although His Majesty the Emperor announced that he would replan Backlund's urban structure and improve the workers' wages—there are still many people who don't understand His Majesty's foresight."

Congressman Macht's words were actually quite euphemistic. In fact, even he didn't understand why George III had to legislate the minimum hourly wage and the maximum daily working hours. This led some entrepreneurs and factory owners to openly oppose George III's bill and prepare to secretly organize people to march.

Although this has won the support of many people at the bottom, allowing them to worship George III like a god, but what can this do?

Congressman Macht silently thought that these people at the bottom were not even eligible to participate in elections. He believed that this bill was destined to fail in the future.

However, as a member of the House of Commons who was pushing for the bill to control air pollution, Morimacht didn't understand why His Majesty the Emperor was pushing for the bill on a whim—perhaps it was inspired by the large-scale evil god worship incident that had occurred in Backlund before.

But this does not prevent him from praising His Majesty the Emperor, because it will also help the bill to control air pollution that he promotes continue to be implemented.

Praise His Majesty the Emperor.

Mori Macht said silently to himself. After Backlund's re-planning, he was able to live in an area closer to the center of power, and war and turmoil allowed him to occupy a more important position among the parliamentarians.

"At least the air will be better this way."

Hazel said to her father casually. A servant behind her was carrying an exquisitely crafted cage, which was covered with soft cushions. On top of it, a mouse with well-maintained shiny fur lay quietly inside.

Before leaving the carriage, a layer of red cloth was covered over the cage to prevent others from seeing what kind of pet was kept inside. Honestly, in Morimacht's eyes, the mice his daughter liked to raise were certainly not respectable enough pets. However, since his daughter was happy, and with his experience as an officer in East Balam and a relatively open-minded attitude, he naturally did not do much to stop her.

But no matter what, he naturally wouldn't let his daughter take the mouse outside for others to see.

"Yes." Councilor Macht walked towards his newly built house. He looked at his daughter and said suddenly to her:

"Hazel, I found a tutor for you."

"Tutor?" Hazel frowned slightly, but didn't say anything. After all, she has to conduct many classes every day, which include etiquette and other knowledge that every noble must know - having one more tutor is actually not something that requires too much attention, but Hazel feels that her It was strange that his father specifically mentioned this matter to himself.

As a "decryption scholar" of Sequence Seven, Hazel subconsciously felt that this matter was definitely not as simple as imagined.She thought for a moment, thinking about recent events and asked her father:

"Is it because of Miskatonic University, which has gained an unusually high status in Backlund recently?"

"That's right." Morimacht nodded. "Duke Abraham previously served as the president of this university, so many nobles are proud to study there—and of course, they hire specialized teachers from this school to teach themselves or their children."

Of course there is no need to say anything more after that.

Although this would not bring him closer to the principal, it was still a way to show his loyalty to Emperor Loen. To a certain extent, this duke is considered to be the Kingdom of Loen - he is now the founding hero of the empire. No one knows whether his sudden announcement to serve as the principal of Miskatonic came from the emperor's instruction?

For them, such abnormal behavior often contains more problems. Regardless of whether any of these teachers are directly affiliated with the emperor, this can show to the emperor that they are "willing to be supervised by the emperor."

After all, becoming emperor already represents a lot of things.

"Okay, I understand." Hazel sighed softly and nodded reservedly.

"When will this teacher come?"

She was confident that she was a Beyonder who was different from ordinary people, and even had the strength of Sequence Seven. She was still confident that she could deal with the tutor.

"Well..." Councilor Macht smiled awkwardly: "We were a little late moving today. Your teacher should be here soon."

As soon as Congressman Macht finished speaking, the doorbell rang outside. After a while, a young man wearing formal clothes walked in with the servant and greeted the two of them with elegant etiquette:

"Mr. Macht, I am the tutor you hired."

A smile appeared on the young man's thin face, and his tone changed slightly: "I wonder when we can start teaching?"

"I hope you can meet my daughter first." Senator Macht showed a gentle yet somewhat dignified smile. The young man opposite nodded as if he had expected it. He pushed his monocle and bowed gently.

"Hello, Miss Macht. My last name is Jacob, you can just call me Mr. Jacob."

Amon smiled gently, looking at Hazel in front of him.

Amon before learning about human nature: Father, I can’t learn such a meaningless thing as human nature.

The principal is someone who looks down on Gao Wei. Most of the school board members are Gao Wei and the other half are Amon.

There is also a professor Sherlock Moriarty who is in charge of raising dogs

Chapter 276 A New King is Born

"Excuse me, a new pirate king is born!"

A voice sounded. It was the voice of a newsboy selling the new issue of the daily newspaper on the streets of Backlund. The sound was crisp and bright, like flowers just growing out of the soil.

The midday sun shines on the newly built streets of Backlund and shines through the Macht family's mansion into the living room. The newsboy's voice passed from outside to inside and reached the ears of several people in the room.

"A new pirate king is born?"

Hazel immediately became interested in this. She looked at her parents and the young teacher beside her who was smiling gently. She just blurted out but felt regretful: This is not something she would usually be interested in.

Fortunately, the teacher with a monocle opposite her and her parents didn't seem to notice that Hazel's behavior just now was different from the previous one. Before Congressman Macht could speak, the teacher said to her:

"I heard that this was a pirate from the Aurora Society. He killed the long-famous 'Immortal King' Agaritu, and appeared at the port on the border of Loen a few days ago. I saw him Everyone can recognize the ship he is on, and he is followed by the one-size-smaller 'Song of Death'."

"Aurora Society? The evil sect that caused the Backlund disaster?" The wife beside Congressman Macht gently covered her mouth, showing a little surprise. Representative Macht nodded and said with a slightly serious face:

"This is not good news. Once he becomes the pirate king, I'm afraid he will cause even greater disaster to the kingdom."
