After receiving the news, Odis made some preparations and went to the western district of Backland to meet up with Klein.
Upon meeting, Odis asked, "How is the Red Angel doing now?"
"I feel his abilities have recovered somewhat, almost to the point of being angelic," Klein stated frankly. "They belong to the 'Red Priest's' authority, and even possess a certain symbolic meaning."
Odis smiled and said, "That makes things easier. The two of us can still run away."
Klein said nothing, tacitly agreeing with Odis's statement.
Actually, he still had the ability to escape, but because he didn't have a strong sense of danger, he didn't reveal his trump cards.
After waiting a few minutes, at the appointed time, Klein led the way, and the two arrived outside the house where the "Red Angel" evil spirit had been.
Odis looked carefully for a while before saying, "Could it be my imagination? I can't sense any danger at all."
Klein, however, said, "A good hunter is very good at concealing his presence when hunting."
"You're not wrong in your expression," Odis smiled, "but I don't want to be the prey yet."
Klein glanced at his "fellow countryman" with a hint of helplessness: "Don't project yourself into his shoes."
At this moment, the two were relatively relaxed. Klein felt that the "Lord of Mysteries" would definitely be watching this place, while Odis felt that Medici would definitely be interested in his bargaining chip.
They did not use any extraordinary abilities to climb the stairs to the second floor.
This is also a final observation. If there is real danger, the spirit may not be able to sense it after only observing for a short time, but as they get closer to danger, their spirit will definitely give them corresponding hints.
When I arrived at the door, it opened by itself before I could even knock.
Odis entered the room first, but the spacious living room was empty.
After Klein entered, the door closed by itself.
"You're very punctual." The voice of the evil spirit "Red Angel" echoed in the wide fireplace.
A fierce flame erupted from the fireplace, and the figure of the "Red Angel" evil spirit appeared.
Klein immediately understood that the "Red Angel" was also afraid that he was playing a trick, so she was prepared to leave at any time.
Odis smiled and said, "Your ability just now reminded me of a kind of witchcraft."
Klein almost grinned: Dude, the witchcraft you're talking about, you don't mean the kind that uses "Floo Powder" to teleport long distances through the fireplace, do you?
The "Red Angel" evil spirit gestured for someone to sit down, then sat down on a single sofa first: "I heard you were looking for me?"
He scrutinized Odis with sharp eyes, and suddenly stood up. At that moment, the cut on his right cheek split open, and Soren's voice rang out: "Fool, are you blind? That's not your master's friend."
Medici seemed to realize something for a moment, then chuckled self-deprecatingly before asking Odis, "Has anyone ever told you that you look a lot like someone?"
Klein, who was standing to the side, looked at Odis. He was also puzzled. Who had the evil spirit "Red Angel" mistaken for Odis?
If Klein wasn't mistaken, the "Red Angel" evil spirit was actually about to bow!
Odis guessed that the other party probably mistook her for the "sage". When she met the celestial master before, Odis noticed that she looked very similar to the celestial master.
The predecessor of the Celestial Masters was the "Sage," so their appearance should be quite similar.
Odis then laughed and said, "Indeed, some people say that my appearance is unique."
As he spoke, he sat down opposite the "Red Angel" evil spirit, and Medici followed suit, but he was no longer as relaxed as before.
"Let's get down to business," Odis said. "As the 'Red Priestess,' you should know very well that this war will likely spread throughout the entire world. Would you like to participate?"
He shrugged and said, "I know you lack the leverage to participate in the war. I will give you leverage. All you need to do is command your soldiers to be invincible."
Klein, who was standing to the side, was stunned. He thought that Odis was going to cooperate with the evil spirit "Red Angel" on some matters. He did not expect that Odis was actually here to recruit him!
The "Red Angel" evil spirit scrutinized Odis: "What benefits will I get?"
"I know an angel who has attained the 'General Knowledge' pathway," Odis said. "I can make a special puppet for each of you, giving each of you a body, but only if your souls can be separated."
The evil spirit, the "Red Angel," laughed, "What kind of benefit is this?"
Odis immediately understood that the three of them could no longer be separated. At least, the level of angels was insufficient to accomplish this.
He had only asked that question to test the waters before revealing the key condition he had prepared: "If you can become my military commander-in-chief, I can provide you with an angel-level attribute within a year."
"And will help you return to the Sequence 1 level in the future."
The "Red Angel" demon narrowed its eyes: "You don't actually think that the characteristics of Sequence 1 are like the radishes on the street, do you?"
"As far as I know, of the three Sequence 1 traits of the 'Red Priest,' one was paid by the Royal Family of Rune to the 'Witch Cult.'" Odis said unhurriedly, "One is in the hands of the Royal Family of Fussac, and one is most likely in Trier."
"If you can help me conquer Trier, I'll find that characteristic even if I have to dig three feet into the ground."
"Conquer Trier?" The "Red Angel" evil spirit laughed twice. "Do you think Osekus and Yggs are two snotty-nosed idiots? Or do you think battles in the Extraordinary Realms are really as simple as they are in historical stories?"
Klein was also somewhat surprised by Odis's audacious idea; even Roselle hadn't been so reckless as to want to conquer the capital of any great power.
Odis did not laugh; he looked at the "Red Angel" evil spirit with a serious expression.
Medici's smile vanished: "You're not serious, are you?"
Odis said, "Of course I'm serious. We're not that close, why would I joke with you?"
The evil spirit, the "Red Angel," laughed, "I love your arrogance!"
He paused for a moment and then said, "I can grant your request, but don't even think about ordering me around."
Klein had expected that the other two spirits within the evil spirit would reappear and contradict the evil spirit's main consciousness, but the two consciousnesses remained completely silent!
"Of course," Odis said. "I will only tell you my strategic objectives; the rest is up to you."
The evil spirit, "Red Angel," laughed, "Aren't you afraid I'll take your soldiers and build my own power?"
"Do you have such a need?" Odis smiled and said, "'Conspirators' are skilled in intrigue and like to use intrigue to achieve their goals."
"But if someone tells me that a 'conspirator' would waste energy on things he doesn't need, I would seriously doubt whether he is a qualified conspirator."
The evil spirit of the "Red Angel" shook its head and said, "Such words have no binding force on me."
Odis shrugged: "I'm just stating the facts."
The "Red Angel" demon didn't continue the topic, but instead asked, "What are the bargaining chips you mentioned for joining the war?"
"The opposition forces in Remenberg," Odis stated truthfully. "I have already assembled an army in western Remenberg, and I believe it won't be long before..."
"We are about to go to war with the Kingdom of Fennepot."
The evil spirit exclaimed, "If you're not a follower of the 'Lord of Mysteries,' I'd seriously doubt if you were joking."
"The opposition party of a small country dares to be so arrogant?"
"You are welcome to visit my 5,000-strong army anytime," Odis said. "To be honest, it's a bit of a waste to have you command these 5,000 men to stop Fennepot's attack."
"After all, the Kingdom of Feneport would at most mobilize one or two hundred thousand men to attack Lenburg."
The evil spirit "Red Angel" chuckled: "I will go. Hmph, I want to see what kind of army you have."
Klein had already guessed that it should be an "Extraordinary Puppet". If no Extraordinary Ones participated in the battle, one "Extraordinary Puppet" could indeed take on 20 people without any problem. But the Feneport royal family should also have quite a few Extraordinary Ones, right?
However, Klein figured that Odis wouldn't joke about such things, especially in front of the "Red Angel" evil spirit, so he didn't raise any objections.
"Today's conversation was very pleasant," the "Red Angel" evil spirit smiled. "It's been a long time since anyone has caught my attention with their arrogance."
Odis replied, "I don't particularly like the word 'arrogance.' You could change it to 'grand ambition.'"
The evil spirit laughed, "Few 'secret seekers' are as adept at sophistry as you."
Odis stood up and said, "Then it's settled. I'll be waiting for you in Wotai."
The evil spirit grunted in response.
Odis then bid farewell to Klein. After leaving the block, Klein asked, "Does the 'Red Angel' know the 'Lord of Mysteries'?"
He could sense that the "Red Angel" evil spirit was very restrained when facing Odis, and the other two consciousnesses didn't say much either.
When they talked to Klein earlier, the "Red Angel" evil spirit wasn't so polite.
"I probably don't know them." Odis then smiled. "Who knows? You're asking me to guess about the gods? I don't know either. I'm just following orders."
He was certain that the "Lord of Mysteries" and the "Red Angel" did not know each other, but if the "Red Angel" thought that the "Lord of Mysteries" was an incarnation of the "Sage," Odis didn't know how to explain it.
After all, in the eyes of the "Red Angel", there are only so many characteristics of a path. The "Hidden Sage" has the uniqueness of the "Secret Seeker" path and a Sequence 1 characteristic, which is obviously related to the "Sage".
As a deity of the same path, "Lord of Mysteries," as long as it possesses the characteristics of Sequence 1 of that path, it must also have some connection with "Sage."
Odis stretched lazily without any gentlemanly manners: "Things went very well today, let's go for a drink."
"Never mind," Klein said. "I'd better stay home as much as possible these days."
He would have left Backlund long ago if it weren't for the need to disrupt George III's plans.
At that moment, Klein suddenly thought, "Does the embassy have any spare rooms?"
"Yes, I have."
Klein didn't stand on ceremony and said directly, "Give me a room, I'll stay for a few days."
With the "Lord of Mysteries" by his side, he felt somewhat safe.
Odis didn't think much of it: "No problem."
The two of them used their extraordinary abilities to return to the Remnburg Embassy. Odis had his servants arrange a room for Klein, whose appearance had changed. The two chatted for a while and then rested.
The next day was Monday. Early in the morning, Odis received a letter from Hugh and Fors, informing him that Hugh and Fors had killed Viscount Stratford the previous night.
Odis recalled that it was actually Hugh and Fors who stumbled upon the trap Triss had set for Stratford. Hugh and Fors not only killed a viscount, but also seized a level 1 sealed artifact.
However, because they had prayed for the power of Mr. Fool, they sacrificed the sealed artifact to him.
Hugh made no mention of the Level 1 sealed artifact or the matter of asking Mr. Fool for help in his letter, so Odis pretended not to know.
In his reply, he told Hugh the name of the "Lord of Mysteries" and that she could pray to the "Lord of Mysteries" if she was in danger, or ask the "Lord of Mysteries" to notify him for help. The reason Odis only told him the name of the "Lord of Mysteries" now was mainly to give the cross to Klein.
First, he remembered that it was something Adam had given to Klein through that court viscount. Even if Odis got his hands on it, it would most likely be given to Klein for some other reason.
Placing it in the "wilderness of knowledge" would prevent it from being influenced by Adam, but this sealed artifact most likely cannot enter the "wilderness of knowledge."
Secondly, after acquiring the extraordinary properties of the "Dark One," this cross-shaped seal became of little use to Odis.
The key point is that Odis doesn't lack Level 1 sealed artifacts right now, so it's better to give them to those who need them more.
If Odis had told Hugh the name of the "Lord of Mysteries" earlier, out of trust in the "leader," there was a chance she would have asked the "Lord of Mysteries" for help. At that time, Adam might have even appeared in person to change Hugh's mind.
Then why not just do as Adam designed, with Hugh and Fors praying to Mr. Fool?
Lost in thought, Odis opened Fors's letter. She hoped that "Mr. Gard" could take her to some unfamiliar places and then pick her up in a few days.
Odis realized that Fors was actively digesting the potion.
However, he remembered that Fors had entrusted "The World" to take her on "travels" around the world.
Odis then thought that Fors seemed to be somewhat afraid of the "world," and that he wouldn't seek the "world" if there were any other way.
After thinking for a moment, Odis replied to Fors that she had a sealed artifact with the ability to "travel" and could lend it to her until she advanced to Sequence 5. However, the condition was that she would participate in an extraordinary battle soon and either kill two Sequence 7 enemies or fight a Sequence 6 enemy with another extraordinary person.
After replying to Hugh and Fors, Oedipus dealt with official business for a while, and Fors quickly responded, indicating that he was willing to accept the terms.
So Odis put the "travel ring" in an envelope and had the bluebird deliver it to Fors.
Having just finished dealing with Fors's matter, Odis received another letter from Celt, an important figure in the Remnburg radical faction.
Selt said he had received information that a large number of Feneport troops were gathering at the border, seemingly preparing to invade Remburg.
Odis was not surprised by this, because Bazel, who had already set up an intelligence network in Feneport, had given Odis definite information two days ago, discovering that the Northern Army Group of the Kingdom of Feneport had made a large-scale mobilization. At that time, Odis already knew that war would break out in the next few days.
At that time, Odis wrote a letter to Ronzel, who had already drunk the "Judge" potion, telling him to be prepared at all times, as the war was about to begin.
Returning to this point, Odis continues reading Celt's letter, informing him that several important diplomats from Azshara have already departed for Feneport to negotiate.
The prevailing opinion among the upper class in Remnburg is that they should avoid fighting if possible, and that once Ruhnn has the resources to send reinforcements to the western front, Feneport will withdraw its troops on its own.
After considering it for a moment, Odis replied to Celt, telling them not to be complacent, as the central and southern parts of the Northern Continent had been at peace for centuries, and some people's knees had inevitably buckled.
However, the radicals need to see clearly the development of the international situation. The current situation is that before the Republic of Intis makes a clear statement on the war between Rune and the Fusak Empire, Rune will never send any reinforcements to Lunburg!
Because Rune still has some strength to maintain a standoff with the Republic of Intis.
Afterwards, Odis ate lunch early as usual. While he was eating, he heard a newsboy outside shouting, "Breaking news! Breaking news! Feneport has invaded Remberg!"
Odis, holding the fork, smiled: So fast?
The embassy officials in the restaurant were initially taken aback, then they all looked at Odis. Some were panicked, some were bewildered; clearly, none of them had anticipated that the war would come so quickly.
Odis put down his cutlery, took a sip of wine, and said, "I'm going to rest for a bit. No one should disturb me until we have definite news from Azshara."
He considered it for a moment and felt that this was not enough, so he simply said, "Well, after we get news of Azshara, we'll leave it to Adonis to handle. I need to go out for a bit."
Before the officials could even try to stop him, Odis had already vanished from the spot.
Regardless of the King of Remburg's appointment of him, he will soon have to return to Remburg, as his mission as ambassador has long since ended.
However, it wasn't time to leave yet. In fact, Odis simply returned to his room and, taking advantage of the brief tranquility, reviewed his plans for the next period of time.
At exactly three o'clock in the afternoon, Odis's vision was covered by gray fog, and in the blink of an eye, he had arrived in the magnificent hall, to one side of the bronze table.
"Justice" Audrey immediately rose, lifted her skirt slightly, and bowed towards the head of the table, saying, "Good afternoon, Mr. 'Fool'."
The sudden outbreak of war left Audrey feeling somewhat down.
At that moment, with her keen observation, she was the first to notice that there was a copper-green cross on the right side of Mr. Fool's body.
Immediately afterwards, "The Magician" Fors and "The Judge" Hugh also recognized the sealed artifact. They hadn't expected Mr. "The Fool" to value this item so much.
"The Sun" Derrick also discovered the sealed artifact and vaguely sensed an invisible call. He then remembered the basic rule taught in the Silver City course: the Law of Extraordinary Property Convergence!
After the members finished their greetings and took their seats, "Fool" Klein glanced at "Priestess" Cattleya out of the corner of his eye. Seeing that she still showed no intention of submitting Roselle's diary, he was certain that Bernadette had no more questions for him.
Then he thought: Odis could also understand Roselle's diary and could obtain a lot of hidden knowledge and history from the "Lord of Mysteries". Perhaps if Bernadette had any questions, she could ask Odis.
Klein was somewhat disappointed by this, since the diary provided by the "mysterious queen" contained only the more crucial parts.
Thinking of this, Klein immediately said, "You may begin."
Audrey didn't hide her curiosity and raised her hand slightly, saying, "Dear Mr. 'Fool,' does that cross you have any special significance?"
"If the answer requires an equivalent exchange, you can make that request directly."
Klein placed the "Cross Without Darkness" on the table, waiting for questions from the Tarot Club members so he could inform "Little Sun".
Of course, a "fool" cannot say such a thing himself.
So the Fool smiled and looked at Miss Justice: "This is no big deal."
"It is a relic of that ancient sun god."
Fors could hardly believe his ears: an ancient sun god, a distant sun god? The creator worshipped by Silver City?
This cross has such a history?
At this point, "The Fool" Klein casually added, "Its level isn't too high, only corresponding to the 'Dark-Free Ones,' and its greatest function is to cleanse the mental pollution within extraordinary traits."
Audrey thanked him sincerely, her curiosity satisfied.
Emlyn, the "moon," shuddered for no apparent reason: No wonder—seeing this object makes me feel uncomfortable.
"The Sun" Derrick was both surprised and delighted. His ideal was to free all the residents of Silver City from the curse and return them to the sun.
It would feel like destiny if such an ideal could be realized by inheriting the relics of the ancient sun god, the creator worshipped by the Silver City.
Thinking of this, he immediately asked, "Respected 'Fool,' sir, is there any way I can exchange for this item?"
Klein nodded and said, "As long as you can pay the price."
Derrick breathed a sigh of relief and sincerely thanked him.
Immediately afterwards, Klein manipulated "The World" and said to "The Magician" Fors, "I have a special commission to give you."
Fors sat up abruptly, her back seemingly stiff: "What request?"
"The World" said in a low, hoarse voice: "Collect the ghost stories that have recently occurred in major hospitals in Backlund, and write them into a novel to be published or published in newspapers."
"The requirement for a novel is that it be as terrifying and bizarre as possible, and it would be best if it could become a bestseller."
Recently, Klein has been pretending to be a ghost to heal people's wounds after the war, while also using this as a way to digest the magic potion.
After hearing some ghost stories from the hospital, he came up with the idea of having the "magician" write a book, believing it to be a good way to digest the magic potion.
After hearing "The World's" words, "Justice" Audrey paused for two seconds before realizing that the person who had been treating the injured recently was Mr. "The World".
After a moment's consideration, Fors replied, "Okay, no problem."
Klein then manipulated the "world" to ask, "What kind of reward do you need?"
"Well—" Fors was unsure what reward to ask for. Asking for too much might offend "the world," but asking for nothing wouldn't be good either.
Seeing Fors's dilemma, Klein suggested, "How about I give you the opportunity to 'record' your extraordinary abilities at the demigod level?"
Fors' eyes lit up: "No problem!"
If one uses the magical item "Mr. Garr" to write travelogues while also "recording" a few demigod-level abilities, the potion should be able to be digested quickly.
After the transaction between the two was completed, Odis, the "Hermit" who had been observing from the sidelines, said as if trying his luck: "Please keep an eye out for 'Multi-Eyed Bookworm' for me."
Klein was taken aback at first, then realized that the "Hermit" was already preparing for his ascension to angel: How long has it been since you were promoted to Sequence 3? And you're already preparing for another promotion?
None of them had ever heard of "multi-eyed bookworms," but they all promised to keep an eye out for them and inquire within their respective organizations.
Just like the last tarot session, the trading session ended quickly, and we moved on to the free discussion session.
Leonard, nicknamed "Star," spoke first: "Gentlemen, does anyone have any news about the 'Wandering Wizard'?"
This was a case belonging to Daly, but because there was no clue, the case was discussed in several "Red Glove" teams.
The battle has only just begun. The Goddess of Night has taught Backlund extraordinary powers, but her orders are to handle the affairs at hand.
The "Red Gloves" have only reduced their overseas assignments for now; they will still discuss cases as before.
Alger, the "Hanged Man," and the "Priestess" on the sea were both taken aback, having never heard of any "wandering wizard."
Emlyn, the "Moon," said, "I've received information that it should be an extraordinary being at the demigod level."
The vampires also took notice of the incident, and the information Emlyn shared was a speculation made by the vampires' higher-ups.
Klein had also heard about this matter to some extent. He glanced at Odis quietly: If he remembered correctly, the Sequence 3 of the "Secret Seeker" pathway was called "Master of Prophecy," right?
"I've also received some information that the 'wizard' punishes only those of extremely wicked character," Hugh said during the trial.
Seeing that several members looked blank, she explained, "Recently, three extraordinary events have occurred in Rune. The process was similar: a 'wandering wizard' arrived at a place, heard about the deeds of the local people of bad character, and then made a prophecy."
"They caused a stingy and harsh person to lose all his savings; they turned a habitual rapist into a eunuch; and they caused a vicious lawyer to have his mouth and teeth fused together."
Audrey had also heard the legend of the "wandering wizard," and she felt that punishing those villains was what extraordinary beings should do. It was only then that Odis realized they were talking about him: the nickname "wandering wizard" was too awful.
Cattleya immediately grasped the key point: "A prophecy has been made?"
Leonard replied, "Yes, it's not clear why he did that, but there's a prophetic element to his punishment of each villain."
Cattleya looked at the "Hermit" thoughtfully, then guessed, "Have you ever considered that it's possible someone, or rather, a high-level extraordinary being, is digesting the potion?"
Leonard and Hugh were both taken aback, especially Leonard. In a previous discussion about the "Red Gloves," someone had actually mentioned this idea, and everyone had discussed the topic, but there was no consensus on which pathway the Extraordinary was digesting the potion.
Because the "wandering mage" not only made a "prophecy" but also carried out punishments, no one knows whether his claimed prophecy came true or whether his main purpose was prophecy or punishment.
The "Red Gloves" members discussed it for a while, but couldn't find the key point, so they skipped the topic.
Leonard didn't believe this statement at the time, as he always felt that digesting the potion was something that had to be done secretly.
At this point, Odis laughed and said, "So it turns out I've caused you a lot of trouble."
Leonard was taken aback: "Is it really digesting a magic potion? But—but why do we need to let so many people know?"
He felt it was completely unnecessary to let the entire city, or even a large area, hear the prophecy.
If the "Hermit" had kept a low profile, the official extraordinary individuals wouldn't have taken this matter so seriously.
Odis explained, "Once you reach the demigod level, you need a lot of feedback to digest the potion."
At this point, he glanced at "the world" and continued, "If we continue like before, constantly playing the role and relying on feedback from just a few or even dozens of people around us, it will take a long time to digest even a little bit of the information."
Everyone understands the meaning of the "hermit's" glance at the "world," which refers to the ghostly rumors circulating in Backlund Hospital.
It was also the "world," which was also composed of demigods, that was digesting the magic potion.
And this guy went even further, planning to have "The Magician" write a book for him so he could get more feedback from a wider audience.
Leonard glanced at Mr. Garr, then at Klein at the bottom of the bronze table, and smiled helplessly: "I didn't expect to solve two cases at once."
Moreover, both cases were committed by his good friends.
Odis smiled too, but said nothing.
After discussing the issue, "Moon" Emlyn looked at "Star": "If you were an official Beyonder, how would you deal with a clergy member from a hostile faction within your jurisdiction during wartime? He hasn't done or intends to do anything wrong."
Although Feneport did not directly wage war against Rune, they invaded Rune's ally, Lunburg.
Yesterday, when Emlyn learned from the vampires of Feneport that Feneport was likely to invade Remnburg, he became worried about the situation of Bishop Utravsky of the Harvest Church.
Upon learning at noon today that the two sides had gone to war, Emlyn realized that he had to do something.
When Odis heard Emlyn's words, he smiled slightly and thought to himself: "We can remove the 'if'."
Leonard, nicknamed "Star," thought for a moment and said, "Protective confinement."
If it weren't for "the Moon" reminding him, he would have forgotten about it. Or rather, most of the official Extraordinary beings have now forgotten that there is a church of the Earth Mother Goddess in Backlund, and an Extraordinary bishop inside.
Emlyn, upon hearing this answer, simply nodded slowly without saying anything.
Leonard then raised the question he wanted to discuss: "Is there anything else big happening in Backlund lately? I mean, besides the king becoming a god."
He asked this because the "old man" reminded him that the atmosphere in Backlund was a bit off, and suggested he inquire at the Tarot meeting.
Odis smiled and said, "Perhaps you asked the question incorrectly."
Leonard was taken aback: "How should I ask?"
"I haven't been paying much attention to Backlund affairs lately." Odis didn't answer "Star's" question directly, but said, "But I did get some very crucial information. Before I tell you that information, let's hear if any of the other members have any news?"
"Well, or rather, I only know the 'result' at the moment, but I'm not sure about the 'process'. What I'm saying now might leave everyone confused."
The other members in Backlund were slightly taken aback. Besides the somewhat oppressive atmosphere in Backlund due to the sudden outbreak of war,
I didn't feel anything was wrong.
At this moment, Klein manipulated "The World" and said: "The leader of the Secret Order, the Sequence 1 angel, Zarathustra, an old friend of Emperor Roselle, is currently hiding in Backlund."
Aside from the other members before "Star" and "Judgment," one of the characters immediately came to mind from the information about the Angel Family that had been traded with "The Hermit": Little Zarathustra!
While Leonard was still somewhat bewildered, "the world" spoke again in a hoarse voice: "The extraordinary characteristics aggregation law that we often talk about..."
The higher the level, the more obvious it becomes.
"Moreover, there is also a law of convergence of extraordinary characteristics in adjacent paths."
Leonard asked somewhat uncertainly, "Are 'Thief' and 'Occupy the Next House' adjacent pathways? Is Zarathustra looking for a high-level Beyonder of the 'Thief' pathway?"
He thought to himself: Luckily, the "old man" had been hiding in the Church of the Goddess of Night, otherwise he would not only have to avoid Amon, but also the high-sequence extraordinary beings in the adjacent pathways.
Klein didn't correct him; he knew perfectly well that Zarathustra was actually looking for him.
He paused for a moment and then said, "I also learned that a new Amon clone has appeared in Backlund."
Leonard took a deep breath; the old man was in danger.
"That's right." At this moment, Odis suddenly said, "Clearly, someone wants the situation in Backlund to become tense."
Leonard immediately asked, "Who?"
Odis replied, "According to my intelligence, it is the 'Goddess of Night'."
"Who?" Leonard almost shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Everyone may owe me another favor," Odis said with a smile. "Because I have obtained very important information: the 'Artificial Death God' of the 'Spirit Cult' has been confirmed to be in trouble."
Klein thought to himself: That's right, I was there when "something went wrong." To be precise, it wasn't that "something went wrong," but rather that he was taken away by the "Goddess of the Night."
More than two months have passed since this incident, and most extraordinary forces should have noticed something was wrong or received relevant information.
"And what caused the 'artificial death god' to have problems is very likely the 'Goddess of Night'," Odis said. "Originally, many important figures in the extraordinary world were only suspicious, but now, after seeing the situation in Backlund, they can basically confirm their guesses."
In terms of layout and atmosphere creation, Odis was very impressed with the methods of the "Goddess of the Night".
He paused for a moment, then suddenly spoke from another direction:
Do you all remember the topic we talked about, "above the gods"?
1
"We even made a guess at the time, thinking that the level 'above the gods' should be the existence of advanced characteristics that have mastered multiple pathways."
"Now that the 'goddess' has most likely grasped the higher-level characteristics of adjacent pathways, what do you think she will do?"
Leonard took a deep breath, somewhat disbelieving his ears: "You mean—you mean 'Goddess' is trying to become 'above the gods'?"
"This is just speculation," Odis said. "You should all remember our previous discussion about the second 'Profane Tablet.' Ever since the second 'Profane Tablet' appeared, the gods have been working towards that goal, but the 'Goddess of Night,' after more than a thousand years of planning, seems to be the first deity to take this step."
Upon hearing this, even those who were not believers in "Night" gradually became surprised.
This is something that the gods are currently doing, not some extraordinary history!
Although the "Hermit" mentioned the "Goddess of the Night" many times during the previous trading of extraordinary history, and although everyone was quite shocked, everyone felt that those things were far removed from their own lives.
The information that "The Hermit" is now releasing is about what is happening right now, which is quite shocking to everyone.
However, another question soon arose in everyone's mind: what is the relationship between the "Goddess of the Night's" further actions and the current situation in Backlund?
The only one who wasn't surprised was Klein, who, based on some information he had gathered, reached a similar conclusion to Odis.
However, he was still somewhat surprised. He was surprised that Odis, or rather the "Lord of Mysteries," was so well-informed!
Klein made this guess because he personally witnessed the "Goddess of Night" killing the "Artificial Death God" and, as a follower of the "Goddess" who had recently helped solve many problems.
The "Lord of Mysteries" likely made an accurate guess based on his own observations and knowledge, and then informed the important follower Odis.
Before anyone could ask questions, Odis continued, "Aren't you all wondering what the 'Goddess's' current actions have to do with the current situation in Backlund?"
Emlyn and Fors nodded in unison, while Cattleya and the other members cast questioning glances at them.
"The learned 'Lord of Mysteries' told me," Odis said through the voice of "the Great One," "that becoming 'above the gods' and accommodating the uniqueness of other paths takes time, and during this process, the 'Goddess of Night' not only cannot become stronger, but her state will also become very unstable."
