Could this be targeting me? Klein was startled, and he suddenly became extremely sober.
As someone who has experienced similar things many times, he has developed a bit of "paranoia" in this regard.
"Is this really possible? When I first arrived at Oravi Island, the 'Mother Tree of Desire' gave Follet Ken a revelation through a dream, and the whole plan began. When Bilt Brando and I met for the first time, the people of the Celestial Cult held a ceremony to make the homeless substitute die of gluttony...
"If the target is Admiral Amyrius, the plan must ensure that if he loses his substitute, he will not be able to find another helper, or have no other way to conceal it. Obviously, this is uncertain, and my interference is proof of this...
"If the target is me, the above questions can be explained." Klein used the ability of "Joker" to control his facial expression and stared at Follett Ken in silence.
After making such a guess, more doubts immediately emerged in his mind:
"But how can they be sure that Bilt Brando will come to me?
"The information that Gehrman Sparrow can transform into anyone was passed on by 'Admiral of Disease' Tracy. It is a factor that the 'Mother Tree of Desire' cannot control...
"Of course, this can be viewed from another angle. It was because this information spread and I arrived at Oravi Island that the Mother Tree of Desire revealed the truth and pushed this matter forward.
"But the question is, why did He want to pollute me? My hatred for the Rose School is far from attracting the attention of an evil god. Miss Sharon and I only killed a Sequence 5 'Wrathful Spirit', a Sequence 6 'Zombie', a Sequence 7 'Werewolf', and took away the 'Crimson Moon Crown' and the 'Biological Toxin Bottle'... The hunt for the 'Blood Admiral' has not really started yet, and it has been interrupted. It has not yet been put into practice. We only killed 'Steel' McVitie...
"The revenge that comes from these things can't even exceed the level of a saint!
"Is it because I am special that as soon as I arrived on the island, I had some degree of 'resonance' with the objects formed by the aura of the 'Mother Tree of Desire' here?
"But before in Backlund and Tingen City, I didn't see any abnormal reactions to the holy objects left by any gods.
"Also, I went to the gray fog to divine beforehand, and the revelation I got was that the homeless man's death was a coincidence, not arranged by a mythical creature or a '0' level seal, but the result was not like that...
"This, is this the first time that the divination above the gray fog has been truly disturbed? It was disturbed without me noticing?"
Klein's thoughts paused, and he realized that this was the most serious problem.
When it came to “0-08” before, he just couldn’t get effective inspiration, not the results were disturbed!
So, it was a power higher than the "0" level of the Sealed Object? The "Mother Tree of Desire" interfered personally, and it was a real god itself? However, it was difficult for the Seven Gods to directly influence the real world. There must be a corresponding ritual... Well, I also divined the degree of danger of playing Amyrius above the gray fog, and the revelation I got was bearable. The development of the matter was completely consistent with this result. How could it not be interfered with? The more Klein thought about it, the more he felt that the whole thing was full of fog.
What he couldn't understand the most was that if the target of the pollution was himself, why was he able to solve the problem relatively easily without any difficult tests?
This makes the arrangement of the Mother Tree of Desire seem like a joke! When the heavy feeling was about to overwhelm Follett Ken, Klein asked again to confirm his guess.
What surprised him was that during this week, the Celestial Cult had never held a ceremony to pray for the "Mother Tree of Desire" to interfere with divination, nor had they made any special arrangements in case of failed plans.
Strange... Klein took out a gold coin and let it bounce with a clang for final confirmation.
Even without divination, he was almost certain that Follett Ken was not lying. This was because his mind had collapsed and he was not able to make a reasonable argument. Second, Follett Ken's answer was logical and consistent with some details that Klein deliberately did not mention.
Pah! The coin fell into the open palm, with the king's head facing up, a sign of affirmation.
Combining the divination statements, Klein finally determined that Follett Ken was not lying.
He temporarily suppressed the doubts in his heart and looked at Follett Ken again, without a smile, and asked:
"What have you done that violates the laws of the kingdom and social customs?"
Follett Ken was stunned for a few seconds, and his mental state seemed to improve all of a sudden.
In his opinion, the conspiracy related to Admiral Amyrius was the most serious crime and the thing that was most likely to anger the big man in front of him. The others were just minor issues and were not worth the demigod's attention.
So, skipping the important part and coming to the ordinary topic means that he might have a good ending.
Follett Ken couldn't help but reveal a faint smile, and hurriedly explained:
"I once tortured someone's family for a whole night in order to steal their property, killed them and dumped them in the jungle, and then, using forged documents, I successfully obtained a considerable amount of wealth.
"I deliberately induced many believers to indulge their desires, and watched them gradually become the nourishment of the 'Mother Tree of Desire' in the emptiness and regret afterwards.
“I have seduced many ladies and possessed them under the pretext of helping them liberate their nature and gain spiritual salvation.
"I tortured some believers who tried to apostatize to death, mainly by cutting off every protrusion on their body bit by bit..."
He confessed his crimes one by one, seemingly not wanting to hide anything.
Klein couldn't believe what he heard. He had never thought that human nature could be so evil.
As Follet Ken was becoming more and more excited, he saw Admiral Amyrius stand up expressionlessly, walk around the desk, come in front of him, and raise his left palm.
In the center of the left palm, a terrifying mouth opened, with two rows of illusory teeth that were white and cold.
“No…No!”
A shrill and terrified scream echoed in the study and did not subside for a long time.
After a while, Klein bent down and picked up the gray-white ball of light that looked like a miniature brain.
This is the extraordinary characteristic of "madman"!
Unfortunately for him, before Follett Ken was brought here, he had been searched and no cash or belongings were left behind.
Bang! Klein snapped his fingers, setting all the remaining pieces of clothing on fire.
After taking a look at the initially healed wound on his left shoulder, he sat back behind his desk and remained silent for a long time in the quietly leaping red flames.
When all traces were no longer obvious, he pulled the corresponding rope, causing the bell outside the door to swing and ring.
The blonde secretary Lu Er'an lifted the "ban", opened the door and came in, instinctively examining every corner.
“Instruct the guards and the people at the base to cooperate with the Olawi police system to clean up the Celestial Cult. It would be best if we can find clues and arrest some members of the Rose School.” Klein gave the order calmly.
"Yes, General." Lu Er'an responded respectfully.
He didn't ask where Follett Ken had gone, as if the leader of the Celestial Cult had never existed.
…………
Klein didn't pay too much attention to the arrest operation on Oravi Island. He used the excuse that he had suffered some minor injuries to cancel all arrangements for the next two days.
This meant that he no longer had to worry about how to display the majesty of a high-sequence expert on the "Arbitrator" path at a critical moment after losing the "Ninth Law" talisman.
"Your Excellency the Admiral, Mr. Austin has not yet left on the passenger ship. The new Governor Ben Conrad has sent you an invitation to attend the banquet he is hosting tonight." Near noon, Lueran knocked on the door and entered to report matters.
Ben Conrad... the person who succeeded Governor Austin... As far as I know, Viscount Conrad's family is a loyal supporter of the royal family. Talim should have met Prince Edsak while serving as the equestrian teacher of Viscount Conrad's youngest son... Klein nodded slightly, empathizing with Amyrius Levitt's complex emotions.
He was silent for several seconds and said:
“Tell Governor Conrad that I was injured in the attack by the Celestial Cult and cannot attend the banquet.
"Give him my apologies."
"Yes, Your Excellency." Lu Er'an did not persuade and left the room calmly.
A demigod is qualified enough to be "willful"!
As long as he doesn't participate in the conspiracy and make serious mistakes, he will not be blamed no matter what he does, because any force is willing to accept a demigod!
Watching Lu Er'an's back disappear through the door, Klein shook his head slightly and sat back behind his desk.
The peaceful day passed quickly. Near midnight, Klein, who was sleeping in the guest room, suddenly woke up and sat up.
His inspiration told him that someone had entered the room!
Klein looked toward the window intently and saw a middle-aged man in a tuxedo. He had black hair, blue eyes, and the corners of his mouth drooped slightly. It was Admiral Amyrius!
Phew, he’s finally back... Klein stood up slowly and asked cautiously:
"What did you give me beforehand?"
He was worried that Admiral Amyrius in front of him was also disguised as the "Faceless Man".
Admiral Amyrius stood there and answered with a serious expression:
"The Ninth Law spell."
Without waiting for Gehrman Sparrow to speak again, he took two steps forward and asked calmly:
"Has anything happened in the past few days?"
…Klein controlled his facial muscles and said:
"Your secretary made a mistake and got hurt."
"Hmm? Anything else?" Admiral Amyrius nodded deeply and restrainedly.
Klein tried not to look away and stared at the other person.
"Your brother has been removed from his post as governor, and a new governor has taken office."
“Your Miss Cynthia turned into a monster and was purified by me.
"Some of your guards and servants have been infected and are being treated..."
"..." Amyrius's expression couldn't help but become more and more stunned.
His eyes moved slightly, as if he was wondering if he had returned to the wrong place.
It's only been three days!
