The abilities of the Mysterious Queen are all fantastic, no, fairy tale-like... Klein glanced at the self-writing pen, took out a piece of paper and pen from his pocket, wrote down the spell to summon his own messenger, and marked the postage of one gold coin for each letter he sent.
Then, he handed the paper to Bernadette, took hers, and quickly glanced through it:
"An invisible creature roaming in the upper world, a strange spirit that is friendly to humans, and a messenger that belongs exclusively to Bernadette Gustave..."
This is somewhat different from the standard spell, but it is essentially the same... Well, the "Mysterious Queen" should have changed it to this on purpose to prevent others from trying out the summoning spell and using the connection between the messenger and the contractor to reversely lock her... It doesn't matter to me. My messenger is an angel. Only He threatens others, and no one threatens Him. Even if He encounters Zaratul, He should be able to protect himself and escape... Klein muttered a few words in his heart, and shook the palm holding the paper lightly, shaking out a ball of red flame. ::
Watching the paper turn into dark ashes in the flames, the "Mysterious Queen" Bernadette asked without emotion:
"What do you think of stopping George III?"
Klein had already considered this, and deliberately slowed down his speech:
"First, don't be reckless, don't take risks you can't afford, and don't hurt innocent people."
If the "Mysterious Queen" Bernadette had not mentioned that she hated war and hated harming innocent people, Klein would not have said it directly at this time, so as not to expose his weakness. He would have tried a different approach and used a softer and more roundabout way to achieve his goal.
Hearing this, Bernadette nodded slightly in approval.
"Then, there are only three options. One is to destroy the ceremony at the critical moment and make George III fail to be promoted. The second is to try to assassinate him in advance so that he can't hold the ceremony at all." Klein deliberately did not mention the third option and analyzed the feasibility of the first two options first. "Assassination is an option with extremely slim hope. George III, or the one who will become the 'Black Emperor', should have reached Sequence 1 by now. We cannot deal with him.
"Even if 'He' has not yet been promoted to Sequence 1, he must have done some acting in advance. Once he completes the preparatory ritual and takes the potion, he will be able to digest it quickly, laying the foundation for the rest.
"Of course, even in this extremely slim possibility, that person must be a Sequence 2 figure, and the Augustus family certainly has no shortage of '0' level seals. Add to that the protection around them, and there is no chance for you and me to succeed."
Here, Crane changes the reference to George III from "he" to "Him."
Bernadette listened calmly, and thought for a few seconds as if she was evaluating.
"As long as they can create a good enough opportunity, a Sequence 2 can also assassinate us, but at least one of you or I will die, or both of us will die."
What she meant was that the "0" level seal she held was powerful enough, magical and terrifying enough, but the price to pay for its full potential was very high.
So, there is a certain chance, because I just lied. If I really try my best, I can ask Will Auceptin, Pales Zoroast and Miss Messenger for help, and let them use the "Yesterday Reappearance" spell to restore to normal in a short time. The problem is, I don't know how much it will cost, what kind of changes will it cause in the situation, and whether the Angel Kings such as Ouroboros and Amon will be involved...
It would be great if Mr. Azik woke up. With the four archangels and the "Mysterious Queen"'s "0" level seal, as long as the opportunity is created, Sequence 1 can make a move. Of course, the probability of failure is very high, after all, no one can last long... Klein's heart moved when he heard this, but he did not discuss it further.
It wasn't that he was unwilling to be honest in the cooperation, nor that he didn't trust the "Mysterious Queen", but Will Auceptin and Pales Zoroast were both being hunted. Once their whereabouts were revealed, it would likely lead to their demise, which was a development that Klein absolutely did not want to see.
He said vaguely:
"If assassination is really the only option left, I can ask at least two angels to help."
This refers to the "Archon of Death" Azik Eggers and the "Snake of Fate" Will Auceptin, who were known to Bernadette. The latter was guessed through the drop of blood of the mythical creature.
Bernadette was stunned for a moment, which was very rare: The fastest update on mobile phone:
“Is this the will of that person?”
Without the Fool's consent, how could His followers invite angels to help?
"He acquiesced." Klein spoke the absolute truth.
The blue eyes of the "Mysterious Queen" suddenly became deeper. She didn't say anything else, but just nodded slowly.
Klein brought the topic back on track:
"It may be relatively simple to destroy the ritual, but it must be done at the most critical moment. Otherwise, for George III, it will only delay his deification for a while. He has already obtained the tacit consent of the gods, so he doesn't need to worry about this or that. Even if the mausoleum is destroyed, it won't take long for him to rebuild it.
"And if it is destroyed at a critical moment, it will cause Him to fail in His promotion and become a monster out of control. No matter which god it is, it is impossible to allow such a creature to wreak havoc in reality. God will definitely destroy it. The problem is that with the reminder and help of the Angel King, George III will not ignore this and will definitely arrange the most stringent protection. The difficulty may be only slightly lower than directly assassinating Him.
“This requires us to collect intelligence as quickly as possible and find areas that can be used.
"Whether it is the first or the second approach, it is best for you to advance to Sequence 2 and become a Sage in advance."
Bernadette nodded slightly to show that she understood.
She then said:
"What about the third idea?"
Klein was silent for a few seconds and said:
"If the ritual had succeeded and the Emperor had been promoted to Sequence 0, then He would still have a chance to be resurrected. As long as we could find the arrangements left by the Emperor before George III ascended the throne, and allow Him to return, George III's plot would have failed."
He did not follow Bernadette's example and call Roselle "he" to avoid revealing his identity.
The eyes of the "mysterious queen" flickered noticeably, and then became deep and restrained.
She opened her lips and said:
"I will give the selected diaries to Cattleya."
Klein didn't discuss the matter in depth, but smiled and said:
"Actually, there is a fourth approach."
Bernadette raised her eyebrows slightly, expressing her doubts.
"That means doing nothing and allowing George III to hold the ceremony and attempt to become a god, and then waiting for him to fail." Klein laughed at himself and said, "On the sequence path, the higher you go, the greater the probability of failure."
This is actually the truth. Even if Amon's brother wrote the "script" and laid out all the possibilities for success, and even if George III perfectly digested the previous magic potion, the probability of "him" becoming a god would not be more than half.
Of course, Klein was just joking when he said this.
The “Mysterious Queen” Bernadette did not respond immediately. She looked at Gehrman Sparrow seriously for several seconds and said:
"You give people a different feeling this time than in the previous times."
"That's what my psychiatrist suggested," Klein smiled, describing himself as a severely mentally ill patient.
Bernadette didn't say much. She retracted her gaze and looked at the pen lying on the table.
"Then each of you should start collecting relevant information and keep exchanging letters."
Having said this, she paused for a moment before speaking again, without moving her eyes:
"In fact, I wonder if he has been resurrected initially, but is still trying to find his past self... I don't know what details are hidden in the resurrection of the 'Black Emperor', and I don't know if he really chose the 'Black Emperor' in the end..."
Bernadette's voice gradually became ethereal, with an indescribable feeling.
As Klein listened, he suddenly understood what the "Mysterious Queen" was thinking and expecting:
She had some doubts that "The Fool" was the resurrected Roselle, and that the great emperor had deceived everyone and had not thought of taking the path of the "Black Emperor" but had chosen another path, so that now he had to collect past diaries and the "Card of Blasphemy" to find himself.
Unfortunately, I’m just Uncle Zhou next door… Klein wanted to say something witty in his heart, but his emotions gradually settled down and it was difficult to force himself to relax.
Without saying anything, he stood up, bowed, put on his hat, and left the room.
After closing the door of the Golden Theater box and taking two steps forward, Klein suddenly heard a peaceful and melodious melody.
The melody is ethereal and spreads out, carrying a hint of sadness.
Klein stopped and listened for a few seconds, then turned back to the hall and used Fire Leap to leave.
…………
In Silver City, a team gathered at the city gate and was about to set off.
This is the team heading to Afternoon Town to explore the "Giant King's Court".
Derrick Berg stood in the middle, the second shortest one, holding a copper-green cross with spikes in his hand.
On his left and right were Joshua and Haim, who were ready to take over the "Darkless Cross" at any time to prevent Derrick's Beyonder characteristics from being released.
Such a sealed object must be mastered by three people in turn to counteract the negative effects.
As he looked down at the Creator's relics, Derrick suddenly felt someone was staring at him. He subconsciously raised his head and looked over. He found that it was a member of the "Six-Man Council", the "Shepherd" Elder Lovia.
The shortest lady in the team had long, slightly curly, silver-gray hair. She was looking at the mottled, ancient "Darkless Cross" with her light gray eyes, and there was a hint of burning heat in her gaze.
Noticing Derrick looking back, the elder Shepherd's mouth twitched slightly, revealing an indescribable smile:
“This is the Lord’s item.”
Derrick shuddered for no apparent reason, and then he heard Chief Colin Iliad speak:
"Set off."
PS: I recommend a book, "The Rebirth of the Dark Sword Emperor", which tells the hilarious journey of a dark sword emperor's rise after he obtained the system of good and evil.
