160 Böklund Street, Dwayne Dantes's residence.

After Klein returned via the detour "teleportation", he did not delay and immediately set up the altar, held a ceremony, and prayed to the "God of Death":

“You are the essence of death;

“You are the monarch of the dead;

“You are the final destination of all living beings.

"I pray for your help, praying for the knowledge of how to solve the problem of the evil spirit of the Red Angel. I possessed the body of a Gatekeeper, cooperated with the High Priest of the Spiritual Cult, Haitel, came to Backlund, and became Patrick Blaine's assistant..."

Klein really had no solution for this matter and could only ask the "Goddess of Night" for help.

Let's not talk about whether he has the ability and opportunity to kill Soren Einhorn Medici by cooperating with the ascetic leader Arianna. Even if he can, once the evil spirit of the "Red Angel" disappears, the high priest of the artificial death god of the Spirit Cult will immediately understand that something big has happened here, and thus associate it with other anomalies, and judge that the state of the artificial death god is not right. Then, using his own status, possible seals and familiarity with this path, he will commit destructive acts that will benefit no one.

If the "Red Angel" was left alone, it wouldn't take long for this evil spirit who had the background of a "conspirator" to notice that something was wrong with Patrick Blaine. With the knowledge and intelligence he had, it wouldn't be difficult for him to guess the nature of the problem.

"No matter how you deal with it, you're making a mistake. As expected of an angel from the 'war' realm, even if only a three-in-one spirit remains, it can still make people unable to find a way to solve the problem it created. This must be an idea for Haitel...

"In fact, there is an extreme idea, which is to let this 'Red Angel' evil spirit be killed by other churches, official forces or secret organizations for other reasons. In short, no one related to the goddess can show up, and the matter must be made clear...

“The difficulty of this idea lies in how to make a high-ranking person in the conspiracy field fall into the trap... If this is not handled well, the fire will burn oneself..." After the prayer, Klein let his thoughts wander while patiently waiting for the "Goddess of Night" to give feedback.

After more than ten seconds, the embers of the herbs that pleased the gods were picked up by the invisible wind, flew out of the cauldron, and landed on the table, forming words:

"When you come here, the earth will be filled with war."

What does this mean? Klein frowned slightly as he looked at the familiar sentence.

As a "fortune teller", he habitually made interpretations:

Because of the king's problem, Rune was deeply trapped in the shadow of war, so the "Red Angel" symbolizing war came.

This means that the war may no longer be stopped.

When it reaches Sequence 1, it will become a symbol in itself.

As Klein's thoughts raced, the invisible wind stopped, and the interior of the altar isolated by the "Spiritual Wall" became extremely quiet.

No other revelations? Klein waited for a while, confirming that this was really all, before ending the ceremony and packing up the altar.

He then walked over to the sofa area in the room and sat down to see if anything else would happen.

And after a full quarter of an hour, he still hadn't seen Arianna, the abbess of the Night Monastery, the hidden angel who was the head of the thirteen archbishops.

No need to deal with the Red Angel evil spirit, just leave it alone? Or, is there another way, but it doesn't require my involvement? Klein is not a devout believer of the night. Since the goddess said not to worry about it, he certainly didn't bother to care about it. Anyway, this matter is not only extremely troublesome to him, but also very dangerous.

Shaking his head, Klein took out a pen and paper from his pocket and began to do "dream divination."

What happened tonight made him intuitively feel that there was no time to waste and he had to digest the "Strange Wizard" potion as soon as possible.

…………

On the foggy sea, inside a steam-sail hybrid merchant ship very close to the pirate ship.

Men and older women were pushed to the edge of the deck with their hands tied behind their backs, and then the pirates used their hands or feet to help them fall into the sea.

The sounds of plops came one after another, but the pirates were not affected at all and completed the bloodless killing with laughter.

After clearing out the intended prisoners, they came to the side of the ship with guns and lanterns, ready to admire the struggles of the poor creatures.

However, under the light, the deep blue sea beside the ship was quietly rising and falling, without a single human figure.

"It sank so quickly?" a pirate blurted out in surprise.

The leader of this pirate group frowned and looked at it for a long time before saying:

“Perhaps a sea monster passed by and took those who dared to resist as food given by the gods.

"That's great. If we feed it, it won't attack us anymore..."

At this point, the leader waved his hand:

"Everyone, enjoy yourself!"

As a fairly experienced pirate, he knew that there were many strange things on the sea. Facing them, it was best not to explore the reasons and try to find out the truth. Since it did not harm himself and his companions, he would thank the "Lord of Storms" for his protection and pretend that nothing had happened.

After determining the personnel on duty, the pirates began to drink heavily, eat large chunks of meat, sing loudly, and fight with swords for the dominance of the young female captives.

In the lively and noisy atmosphere, the pirate leader brought a beautiful passenger who he had long had his eyes on into the room that originally belonged to the captain, and couldn't wait to start the last step of the carnival night.

In the middle of the night, the tired and sleeping pirate leader stretched out his right hand and touched something cold and lifeless.

The pirate leader woke up suddenly, and with the help of the crimson moonlight shining in from the window, he saw that what he was holding in his arms was a piece of rough wood.

Branches with green leaves grew out of the wood, hugging the pirate leader like human hands and feet.

Bang!

The pirate leader's pupils dilated rapidly. He pushed the wood away, jumped off the bed, and stumbled backwards.

I was talking to this thing before? His mind was full of panic, and he didn't bother to put on his clothes. He picked up his gun and sword and left the room directly.

Outside the door, there was a pirate on duty guarding it.

"Thief, why are you so happy..." The pirate asked hurriedly when he saw his leader opening the door and coming out.

The pirate leader wanted to reprimand his subordinate for drinking secretly and making his speech unclear, but when he looked up, he saw that golden wheat grains grew in and around his subordinate's mouth, and even the surface of his tongue was densely covered with them.

...The pirate leader's scalp tightened instantly, and a tingling sensation spread from top to bottom, combined with a chill that went straight to his tailbone.

At this moment, the door of the opposite room opened, and a pirate cried out in a crying voice:

"Oh no! Boss, I, I have a lot of mushrooms growing there!"

As he was speaking, the pirate ran out.

At the same time, he felt his eyes itchy, so he raised his hand and rubbed his right eye.

As he rubbed it, a green vine slowly grew out of the gap between his eye socket and eyeball, with a dark red grape on the top.

The area around the grape was a blur of blood and flesh.

"..." The pirate leader froze and asked in a voice that didn't belong to him, "What did you encounter..."

The pirate who was still rubbing his eyes and didn't think anything was wrong didn't need to recall anything and said directly:

"A shadowy figure with a long stick hit me!"

"Wo...Yeyou..." The pirate, whose tongue was covered with golden wheat grains, echoed.

He was blocked by the leader and did not see the terrible appearance of his companions.

The pirate leader's legs began to shake uncontrollably, and he instinctively turned around and ran out of the cabin.

At this moment, he saw a long shadow like a stick rushing towards him from the side wall and hitting him.

The shadow flashed by and soon disappeared, as if it were an unreal nightmare.

The pirate leader was a beat late before he subconsciously raised his hand to try to block, but of course this had no effect.

Then, he checked his own condition in horror and confusion, but found nothing unusual.

"It's okay, it's okay..." The pirate leader couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a slightly vague voice:

"It's okay, it's okay..."

The sound seemed to come from inside his body!

The pirate leader's pupils dilated to the extreme, and his hands lifted up his clothes uncontrollably.

He then saw three cracks between his chest and abdomen, one large and two small.

Inside the big one, there are two rows of neatly arranged white teeth, and in the center of the small one, there are two eyeballs that roll flexibly.

It's a mouth and two eyes!

The pirate leader has an extra mouth and two eyes between his chest and abdomen!

"No!"

A scream broke out on the boat, carrying with it an indescribable, extremely intense fear.

In the next quarter of an hour, some pirates went crazy and started killing their companions, while others successfully escaped back to their own ship, but found that the people on board had also become deformed, so they jumped into the sea in despair.

When everything calmed down, only a dozen relatively normal pirates were left, slumped on the deck or hiding in the rooms, surrounded by a foul stench.

After a while, passengers came out of the cabin one after another, without missing a single one.

They looked at the scene in disbelief, some thanked the gods, while others stood there in confusion.

…………

In the early morning, Klein got up and started to wash up.

He had just changed his clothes with the help of his personal servant Enuni when he saw the butler Walter, who had returned from leave, walk to the door and say:

"Sir, Bishop Elektra is here to visit."

“…Tell him to wait for me in the living room where he can enjoy a cigar.” Klein was stunned for a moment and spoke.

He suspected this was a belated response from the goddess.

Walter immediately turned around and went downstairs to make arrangements. Not long after, he came back and said:

"Sir, Bishop Elektra has left. He asked me to tell you to go to St. Samuel's Church this morning. He said that the church and the government will jointly hold an air defense exercise."

"Air defense drill?" Klein's brows furrowed slightly.

At this moment, he was suddenly inspired and turned around abruptly and looked out the window.

In the sky where the clouds were not thin at all, a number of dark brown airships were approaching closely.

These airships were painted with diagonal red, white, and yellow tricolor logos. This was the national flag of Feysac!

Seeing this scene, Klein suddenly realized what he had overlooked before:

The war does not necessarily have to be started by the Kingdom of Loen!

An ancient and secretive organization must have members with high status in other countries, otherwise it cannot influence the world situation!
