Chapter 230 Three Questions



Dadada, a phantom white paper popped out of the radio receiver, with Runescript written on it:

"Great master, your loyal and humble servant Arrodes has finally, finally caught up with you!"

...Don't be so excited... Well, "Magic Mirror" Arrodes's speaking skills are as professional as ever. He didn't express his "resentment" for not being able to contact him for a long time, nor did he ask why I didn't contact him for so long. He directly blamed the problem on himself, thinking that he couldn't catch up with my pace... It made me feel a little guilty, but I still have to be on guard... Klein didn't know how to respond for a moment.

Arrodes did not wait. He used the radio receiver to make a cautious expression on the illusory white paper:

"Great Master, the ruler of the spiritual world, your servant feels that you are one step closer to returning to the Holy Throne, right?"

This thing has evolved so quickly, it has evolved from using emoticons to building the prototype of emoticons... In Arrodes's cognition, I am a true god who is gradually finding himself? So, although it clearly found out that I am only Sequence 5 now, it still did not look down on me at all, but became more humble? Klein understood that the "magic mirror" was asking questions deliberately, and nodded calmly:

"Yes."

"You have already answered my question. In exchange, as a rule I must abide by, you can ask me a question." Arrodes "typed" in response quickly, and attached a "smiley face" at the end.

Klein did not hesitate and asked directly:

"Where can I get the recipe for the 'Trickster' potion?"

A long section of illusory white paper was spit out at once, filled with countless complex symbols, and then formed a mirror surface, presenting a real scene:

It was a dark hall with no natural light, and inside it was a huge, wriggling mass. It was so blurry that it looked like a pencil drawing that had been erased with an eraser, and no specific details could be seen at all.

However, the "magic mirror" Arrodes attached a long paragraph of text below this scene:

"This is Zaratul. He lost control during his promotion to Sequence 1 'Servant of Mystery' and turned into a monster. However, great master, you must be careful. He is a very cunning guy. Perhaps all these behaviors were intentional by Him.

"I cannot look at Him directly, as it would harm me. Apart from Him, you cannot get the potion formula from any other demigod in the Secret Order, because Zaratul directly provided the high-sequence potion, and there is almost no way to reverse divination it through Beyonder characteristics."

The answer was very detailed, and I also learned that the Sequence 1 corresponding to the "Fortune Teller" path is "Secret Servant"... Does it mean serving the mysterious angel? It seems that the only way to get the potion formula through the Secret Society is to face Zaratul directly, and I can't even look at Him directly... No wonder "Snake of Fate" Will Auceptin only said to find the crazy Zaratul, and didn't mention the Secret Society... Klein was actually moved by the attitude of "Magic Mirror" Arrodes. If he didn't feel that he didn't have the personality and strength to control this seal, he would have really considered the other party as his servant.

With a crisp tapping sound, the illusory white paper grew a little longer, revealing another scene:

It was a towering mountain with a ruined palace on top. A huge stone chair could be vaguely seen in the palace.

Klein was very familiar with this picture. He knew what it symbolized without the explanation of the Magic Mirror Arrodes:

The Antigonus family treasure hidden in the main peak of the Hornachis Mountains!

White paper continued to be spit out, and new scenes appeared on it. Just like a movie, the camera angle changed:

The first thing that caught Klein's eye was a towering Gothic clock tower and the magnificent palaces surrounding it.

The former represents the "Bell of Order" and the latter represents the Sodrak Palace, both of which are Backlund's iconic buildings.

The camera moved, and soon a new building appeared on the white paper. It was a pure black church with two symmetrical bell towers.

The church became larger and larger in the scene, soon revealing its interior and freezing at a black iron double door somewhere underground.

The gate was extremely heavy, engraved with seven dark holy emblems, like the guards of the Dark Heaven.

"Chaness Gate... Saint Samuel's Church..." Klein recognized the familiar gate and determined based on the architectural features that the church was the headquarters of the Backlund Parish of the Church of the Evernight Goddess - Saint Samuel's Church!

The white paper was spit out, and the scene changed. In the deep darkness, on an empty bookshelf made of bones, there was an ancient notebook quietly placed. Its cover was made of cardboard and was dyed black.

Klein recognized the notebook at a glance:

It is the Antigonus family notes that caused the death of the original owner of the body!

After going around in circles, everything is back to the starting point!

Klein watched quietly for a while, and only when the image disappeared did he regain his thoughts:

"Yes, the people of the Aurora Society saw the potion formula of the 'Joker' in this notebook. When I read it again after getting its approval, the content presented in it must be completely different from before. It should have the potion formula of the 'Weird Wizard', but it lacks the materials or characteristics.

"It turns out that this notebook has been sealed behind the Chanis Gate of Saint Samuel Church. To get it from such a place, the difficulty is not much lower than finding Zaratul and facing Him directly... The Backlund Great Smog Incident, which was participated by High-Sequence Powerfuls, was quickly quelled after I reported it to the Backlund Diocese of the Church through Miss Justice. This is enough to show the strength of the Backlund Diocese. Whether it is demigods or sealed objects, they must have no shortage... Well, no matter what, let's go back to Backlund first and see if there is any chance. In comparison, I don't want to go to the Hornachis Mountains..."

Gathering his thoughts, Klein looked at the radio receiver that had become dark and gloomy and said:

"Who was the demigod on board 'Mad Captain' Connors Victor's ship last night?"

The sound of "da da da" jumped lightly, the illusory white paper in front disappeared, and a new one was spit out.

The content on the white paper is also a real scene:

On an exquisite brass lampstand, five candles of different heights emitted light and heat. A middle-aged man wearing a tricorn hat and a black eye mask stood in front of a cabinet containing wine, champagne and distilled liquor, looking across humbly.

Opposite him, there was a tall figure in a black cloak, his face completely hidden by the hood.

The figure seemed to have no real head, only a deep, twisted darkness embedded in its neck.

With the help of the portrait on the bounty warrant, Crane recognized the one-eyed man as "Mad Captain" Connors - his hair was disheveled and greasy, just covering his neck.

The person opposite should be the demigod, but he deliberately disguised his appearance and performed a corresponding counter-divination. It was already quite remarkable that Arrodes could obtain such an image... Klein was not too disappointed. Instead, he carefully memorized the figure's stature:

Over 1.85m, but less than 1.90cm… arms a little long, almost reaching the knees when the hands hang down… shoulders broad, holding up the cape… legs somewhat outward…

As an expert in the field of camouflage, Klein believed that after a person concealed their appearance and performed a certain degree of anti-divination, they would most likely no longer pay attention to the camouflage of their body, especially if there was nothing special about it.

Therefore, this can provide certain clues and help Klein feel familiar when he sees the target in the future!

"Very good, it's your turn to ask questions." After remembering this, Klein stopped looking around and waited with interest for the "Magic Mirror" Arrodes to ask questions.

He was very curious whether the other party could exceed his imagination this time.

The typing sound became a little slower, revealing a bit of hesitation, and the illusory white paper was spit out bit by bit:

"Great Master, can I say something to you?"

"Sure." Klein answered the question with a little surprise, and looked forward to what Arrodes would say.

The sound of "da da da" suddenly became faster, revealing obvious enthusiasm.

On the imaginary white paper, lines of words appeared one after another:

"Happy birthday, great master!

"This is a belated blessing. Your current body was born on the 4th of the month in the year 127. I wanted to be the first to bless you in the early morning of that day, but I was unable to keep up with you."

...Sure enough, this is a topic that goes beyond my imagination...I even forgot about my birthday...Klein's mouth twitched slightly, not knowing what to say.

He had received the original owner's memory fragments, gained some of his emotions, and knew his birthday, but he was wandering alone, so how could he remember these things?

Arrodes was the first one to wish me a happy birthday... Benson, Melissa, and the others must have felt more uncomfortable on this day... The interview was over in February. I wonder if Benson has successfully become a government employee... Klein sighed, and his eyes softened as he looked at the radio receiver.

He thought about it and said calmly:

"The third question is your origins."

The da da da sound stopped for two seconds and then started again.

Pieces of white paper were spit out, and new scenes appeared on them:

A large amount of black sticky liquid gushed out of the holes in the ground. They stretched outward in a twisted manner, growing a different number of arms and legs, and then turned into strange monsters that rushed forward.

During this process, a spot of light was sprayed out along with black liquid, and fell on a stone. It quickly combined with the other party and evolved into a silver mirror with ancient patterns and black gemstones on both sides.

What a strange scene... Was this how Arrodes was born? What was that light spot, and where did it come from? It looked a bit like a Beyonder characteristic... Klein began to interpret the scene he saw.

The clattering sound did not stop, and another line of words came out:

"Great Master, do you have any other questions?"

After calculating the time, Klein shook his head and said:

"No."

"You have finished answering, and it is time for me to leave. Great master, ruler of the spirit world, your humble and loyal servant Arrodes looks forward to serving you again and following in your footsteps. Goodbye~" The illusory white paper finally showed a waving expression.
