On the way from Böklund Street to St. Samuel's Church, Klein passed by the "Loen Charity Student Aid Fund" at 22 Pestfield Street and was surprised to find that it was still open.

As the initiator and current director, he was quite concerned about this matter, so he paused and turned around.

As soon as he entered the door, Klein saw Miss Audrey walking down from the second floor, accompanied by her personal maid, a big golden retriever, and several staff members.

“Good afternoon. It seems like there is nothing here that requires persistence under such circumstances.” Klein came forward and expressed his doubts.

Audrey held the newspaper in her hand and looked at Dwayne Dantès and said:

"Several beneficiaries were injured in the airstrike. I just visited them and arranged follow-up treatment."

The eyes of this noble lady were slightly red, as if she had seen all kinds of sad things in the hospital.

“May the goddess bless them.” Klein understood and drew a crimson moon on his chest.

He took the opportunity to express his long-prepared thoughts:

"I plan to donate some more money to the foundation to buy food, medicine and medical equipment. We can do more in this man-made disaster."

"That's a great idea. Those who are suffering will be grateful to you, Mr. Dantes." Audrey also nodded four times clockwise on her chest, with obvious joy and compassion in her eyes. "I will do my best."

She didn't want to just donate money, but also organize the corresponding things.

Klein nodded and said:

“No need to praise me, I just did what I should do at this time.

"In addition to monetary donations, I will also donate food. You can discuss these matters directly with my butler Walter. Well, Miss Audrey, I can write you a letter of authorization now so that you can mobilize the resources of Meige Manor in my name."

"What about you, Mr. Dantes?" Audrey asked with a vague guess.

This is the most normal reaction in this context.

"I received a notice from the church to help them do something. I haven't been to St. Samuel Church yet, so I don't know what it is yet. The only thing I can be sure of is that I will have to travel around recently, and I won't be able to return to Meige Manor for a long time." Klein gave the reason he had prepared before. "Ms. Audrey, during this period of time at the foundation, I have come to understand your character and abilities. Your background and status also determine your vision and perspective. Entrusting this matter to you is the best solution I can think of."

Klein didn't expect his lies to fool a senior "audience". He only wanted to deceive the people around "righteous" Audrey, well, excluding the dog.

Mr. World is going to temporarily give up his identity as Dwayne Dantès so that he can hide and do something? Audrey pretended to think about it, and after a few seconds of silence, she said:

"Under the current situation, I can't refuse such a request."

Klein secretly breathed a sigh of relief and immediately asked his personal valet, Enuni, to go upstairs and get some paper and a pen. Then, in the presence of a group of staff members, he personally drafted a letter of authorization, signed his name, pressed his fingerprints, and stamped it.

After doing all this, Klein turned his gaze to the newspaper in Audrey's hand:

"Is there anything else happening? I just came back from outside the city, and I heard the newsboy shouting that the kingdom has declared war on Feysac."

Audrey pursed her lips and said with a slightly gloomy expression:

"Not long after the Feysac airship formation attacked Backlund, their Sonia Sea Fleet took advantage of the thick fog to attack the Royal Navy Base on Oak Island in Pritz Harbor and the shipyards in the surrounding areas. Fortunately, the Storm Church was warned in advance and sent a telegram in advance. Pritz Harbor was not lost, but a lot of ships and factories were lost. It is said that many people were killed or seriously injured..."

“This is war…” Klein sighed, “Can you let me see how the king declared war?”

Audrey knew that there was something wrong with King George III, and could hear the sarcasm in Mr. World's words, so she did not refuse and handed over the newspaper.

This is the Tussock Gazette.

Klein didn't need to expand on the story. He saw the king's declaration of war on the front page:

"...Seven hundred and eight years ago, the Feysac people took Sonia Island from us.

"A year ago, the Feysac people took away half of our interests in East Balam.

"Today, they bombed Backlund and attacked Pritz Harbor. Many Loen people died and were injured, and their blood stained the land.

"We can't give in any more. If we do, we will only be bullied by the Feysac people again and again. If we give in any more, we will lose all our overseas interests. A large number of products will not be sold, countless workers will be unemployed, and more farmers will go bankrupt!

“…

“Everything that happened in the past and is happening now shows that justice is in our hands and we have enough strength to win a complete victory.

"Everyone, I, your emperor, George III, hereby declare war on Feysac on behalf of the House of Commons and the Royal Government. Unless they raise the white flag and surrender, we will never stop advancing!

"Forward, recapture the island of Sunia! Forward, capture Saint Miron!

"Victory will surely belong to us, the gods are with us!"

Klein quickly glanced through it and used the Joker's ability to control the movement of curling up the corners of his mouth.

He then returned the Tussock Times to Audrey, took off his hat, and saluted:

"I'll trouble you with what happens next."

"Please rest assured." Audrey took the power of attorney and newspaper and returned the greeting.

Klein did not delay any further. He left the Loen Charity Student Aid Fund with his personal servant Enuni and came to St. Samuel's Church.

At this time, there were few believers in this church. Most of them had returned to their homes and were busy preparing for life after the war broke out.

In the dark and quiet environment, Klein found a place to sit down, took off his hat, clasped his hands together, placed them in front of his mouth and nose, and whispered the name of the "Goddess of Night". Then he said:

"...I got news from the Red Angel ghost that Zaratul may have come to Backlund, and the secret ruins of the Blood Emperor are likely to contain the mausoleum required for the Black Emperor's ritual..."

After finishing his prayer, Klein waited patiently for a while and saw Archbishop Anthony Stevenson come in from the side door and walk towards him.

This saint had a clean, beardless face, and wore a black robe with a red moon logo on it. He made no sound as he walked, just like the slowly falling night.

After approaching Dwayne Dantes, Anthony said nothing, but made a gesture with his eyes, and then turned to the library.

Klein stood up, put on his hat, and followed behind in silence.

As for his personal valet, Enuni, he walked to the church door with his cane and waited there.

Outside the library, Archbishop Anthony turned around, smiled slightly, and said to Dwayne Dantes:

"The war has broken out, and there are too many things to do. As a devout believer of the goddess, are you willing to provide some help?"

As expected... It seems that Ms. Arianna has left Backlund... Klein sighed as he drew a scarlet moon on his chest:

"It is my pleasure, praise the goddess."

After responding, he immediately asked:

"What do you need me to do?"

"I will inform you when something relevant happens. Try not to go home during this period." Saint Anthony said in a tone that didn't quite make sense.

Klein instantly understood what the other party meant, which was to hide first. He did not have the energy to deal with Zaratul for the time being, and at most he could provide protection within a certain range.

Just as I thought, the goddess is digesting the "uniqueness" of the "Death God" path. There will be no God descending for a long time, and the church's top leaders have to deal with the war. The negative effects of the "0" level seals are more terrifying than each other... Klein nodded slightly:

"Yes, Your Excellency the Archbishop."

"May the goddess bless you." Saint Anthony painted the crimson moon.

"Praise the goddess. The only destination is peace." Klein responded with skillful gestures.

Then he left St. Samuel's Church and turned into another street with his valet.

After walking for a while, Dwayne Dantes and Enuni disappeared without a trace.

…………

In a two-bedroom rental house in the East District.

Klein, who had an ordinary face, took out the adventurer's harmonica, put it to his mouth, and blew it.

Soon, Renette Tinicole walked out of the void carrying four blond, red-eyed heads. She was not at all surprised by the new appearance of her contractor.

Klein did not give out the letter paper and directly said:

"Tell Miss Sharon and Maric that Zaratul has come to Backlund and is likely to have contact with the Rose School of Thought. Tell them to be careful and not to go to the Brave Bar for the time being."

"Zaratul..." This time, all four heads of Renette Tinicole spoke at the same time, and it seemed that it took a certain amount of effort to remember who it was.

“The leader of the Secret Order, the Sequence 1 angel who once went crazy but is now normal again.” Klein took out a gold coin and handed it to the messenger.

He did not say that Zaratul was very interested in Gehrman Sparrow. He believed that the messenger lady, as a high-level spiritual creature, could sense his peculiarity to a certain extent. Otherwise, there would be no need for the angel to lower himself to be a messenger. If it was for the "Yesterday Reappearance" spell, he could provide help in a more decent way.

As for why Zaratul didn't detect the gray fog in the foggy town but was interested in Gehrman Sparrow, Klein believed there were three reasons. First, the extraordinary aggregation of the gray fog allowed this powerful "fortune teller" to come to Backlund and predict something. Second, Gehrman Sparrow was able to leave the foggy town and return to the real world after getting the wrong symbol. Third, Gehrman Sparrow might be related to an organization that believes in "The Fool".

When Zaratul came into contact with the Rose School and discovered that the "Mother Tree" also had a certain interest in Gehrman Sparrow, even if he had no guesses in his mind, his level of attention would increase sharply.

Renette Tinicole said nothing more. One of them leaned forward and bit the gold coin.

After watching the messenger leave, Klein pulled up a chair and sat down. He looked at the sky outside the window across a wooden desk.

The layout of this rental house is the same as the one he lived in in Tingen City. There is a bedroom inside and a living room, dining room and study outside, with a bunk bed.

At this time, besides him, there were also the secret dolls Qiunas and Enuni in the room.
