"Who are you?" Klein asked in a rather complicated state of calm.

The lady in the simple robe nodded slightly and said:

"Arianna, Servant of Secrets."

The Servant of Secrets... Arianna... Klein's eyes narrowed slightly, and he already knew the identity of the lady in front of him.

As a Beyonder who was born as a Nighthawk, how could he be unfamiliar with the name Arianna?

The abbot of the Monastery of Night, the head of thirteen archbishops, the possible future Pope, no matter which identity he is, it is common sense in religious studies and mysticism!

Klein had read the name "Servant of Secrets" in Emperor Roselle's diary. Combined with similar names such as "Servant of Secrets", he suspected that this referred to the rank of angel. At the same time, based on the Law of Conservation of Beyonder Characteristics, Arianna could not be a Sequence 1 angel given the existence of Sequence 0. Klein believed that "Servant of Secrets" was most likely a Sequence 2 of the "Night" pathway.

This... It's not that the goddess didn't respond, but the way she responded was very special... She directly sent her "servant" over... Klein felt complicated and it was hard to describe.

After a few seconds of silence, he bowed solemnly:

"Good afternoon, Her Highness Arianna."

In major churches, if there is a demigod of angelic rank walking on earth, the suffix "Your Highness" should be added when addressing him/her in person to show respect. Similarly, the representative of the will of gods, such as the Pope, the Pope, and the Patriarch, should be addressed with "Your Majesty". In addition, the head of a religion can also be referred to as "Pontifical See" or "Holy See". Of course, in many cases, "Holy See" can also refer to the location of the Vatican.

Arianna tapped her chest four times clockwise and responded devoutly:

"May the goddess bless you."

She then added:

"I am a monk, you can just call me Madam."

“Yes, Ms. Arianna.” Klein did not insist at all.

Arianna looked at him calmly for two seconds and asked directly:

"You want to deal with the 'blasphemer' Amon's clone in Backlund?"

“Yes, I hope to obtain the blessing of secrecy.” Klein answered frankly.

At this moment, he suddenly felt a little embarrassed because this was not what he expected.

His original idea was that the goddess would give him blessings and protection, and then he would join forces with Pallez Zoroast in Leonard's body to eliminate all of Amon's clones in Backlund. In this process, the problem of Leonard and the "thief" angel would not be exposed. But now, the protection has become an "entity" and will participate in the battle. Once Pallez Zoroast takes action, he will definitely be discovered. At that time, the outcome will be unpredictable!

Don't we need to join forces with Pales Zoroast? Let's just be an intelligence provider and share some of the spoils? As Klein's thoughts raced, Arianna spoke at a moderate pace:

"I can provide the power of secrecy so that everything that happens will not be seen, but I cannot guarantee that I can eliminate all of Amon's clones in Backlund."

Pales Zoroast said that this could be done... As expected, the one who knows Amon best is a Sequence 1 from the same path... Klein thought for a moment and said:

"Ms. Arianna, I have a mature and complete plan. You only need to provide hidden power and do not need to participate in the actual battle. I will take care of the rest."

Arianna nodded, raised her right arm, and spread her palm.

A little light then lit up, deep and bright, and quickly outlined a medal in the palm of the hand.

The medal is crystal clear, as if it is made of black gemstone, giving people the feeling that it really exists when you look at it, and disappears when you don't look at it.

"This is my Night Emblem. It has no properties or powers. Its only function is to connect you to me once it is activated, no matter where you are in the real world." Arianna described it simply. "Before you take action, remember to use it. I will provide you with hidden power. If you need more direct help, say the name 'Arianna' in ancient Hermetic language while activating it."

This is equivalent to a solidified altar and ritual that points to itself... Well, when one reaches the angel level, the scope of responding to prayers is expanded to the entire world? Klein instantly grasped the essence of the emblem of darkness.

As a Trickster, he was currently unable to respond to prayers, a trait that only occurred at Sequence 3. Of course, as a Sea God and a Fool, he was skilled enough in this regard.

Klein did not refuse. He took the emblem of night and bowed sincerely.

"Thank you for your gift."

After saying this, he tapped his chest four times clockwise, drawing a crimson moon:

"Praise the goddess!"

In this way, he could still join forces with Pales Zoroast, as long as he didn't pronounce the name "Arianna" in ancient Hermetic when activating the Emblem of Night.

"Praise the goddess." Arianna responded devoutly.

Her figure then disappeared, as if erased by an eraser.

Was he leaving by transforming into a stealthy state? Klein pursed his lips in speculation.

At the same time, he was full of doubts about how Arianna could get here so quickly. After all, the "Night" channel was not good at teleportation. It would definitely take a long time but definitely not a short time to get from the Wintershire Church to Backlund.

My ritual is not the kind that prays for a direct arrival... Could it be that Ms. Arianna is in the surrounding area, in the Backlund region? Isn't this too much of a coincidence? If it's not a coincidence, then the problem is even more serious. What are you doing in the Backlund region? Undercurrents are turbulent... Klein retracted his gaze and waited patiently for a while before changing back to Dwayne Dantès.

He found a piece of paper and a pen again and drew a symbol that combined the words "secret" and "peeping" on it.

As soon as the last stroke of the symbol was completed, the full-length mirror in the master bedroom emitted a dim but pure light, like an undercurrent quietly flowing at the bottom of a lake.

Immediately afterwards, rows of salutes appeared inside, firing fireworks into the sky.

Gold, silver, red, and blue exploded one after another, forming one word after another in the mirror:

"Welcome back, my great master!

"Your loyal servant Arrodes witnessed you regain some of your authority, and was trembling with fear at your gradually recovering breath. You will eventually return to the highest position, and let the whole world become peaceful under your gaze!"

This is really lively... There are new things every time... Klein nodded slightly and said nothing.

As the fireworks bloomed, the words broke apart and reassembled to form a new sentence:

"Great Master, what do you want me to do?"

"I have a question." Klein said calmly, "In a place where it is dangerous to be in the dark, how can we create safe and pure darkness? There are probably two kinds of dangers. One is that people will evaporate and disappear in the darkness, and the other is that they will be attacked by strange monsters that appear."

On the surface of the full-length mirror, the fireworks subsided, the water rippled, and silver words emerged one by one:

"Great Master, are you referring to the 'Forsaken Land of the Gods'?"

This "magic mirror" knows a lot. It also gave me a question... Klein nodded and said:

"right."

Without pause, Arrodes displayed line after line of rune text on the full-length mirror:

"The formation of the 'Forsaken Land of Gods' is related to the fall of the second generation of creators. The danger of the night there should be caused by the mutation of two essential forces.

"One is the remaining power of the 'Goddess of Night', and the other is the influence left by the Creator, who has partial authority over shadows, darkness, corruption, filth, and mutation. The former can make living beings disappear out of thin air, and the latter will directly cause darkness to give birth to monsters."

It turns out that the two dangers come from different powers. No wonder the manifestations are so different... Arrodes called the ancient sun god the second-generation creator... This is very close to my guess... Amon and Adam's father is not the original creator who has awakened, but a time traveler who inherited a large "legacy"? Klein asked thoughtfully:

"So, the fall of the second generation of Creators was, was the 'Goddess of Night' involved?"

Klein had vaguely anticipated this, because in the darkness of the "God-Forsaken Land", humans would evaporate, which was very similar to the situation in the "God War Ruins" where people would mysteriously disappear if they did not sleep at night. And according to the little "Sun", the Wolf King Fregra, who originally held the power of "Night" and "Secret", had fallen as early as the Second Era, so it was impossible for him to have done it.

Therefore, unless another god of the "Night" path was born in the meantime, it would be difficult for those two strange things not to be related to the "Goddess of Night".

On the surface of the mirror, the silver light quickly converged and condensed into a word:

"right."

Right... Klein was about to ask, but suddenly shut his mouth because he remembered his identity as the follower of the night. Therefore, even if no one was watching, he had to be respectful to the gods and not explore related secrets. Of course, except when he was in the mysterious space above the gray fog.

He was about to return to the previous question and urge the "magic mirror" Arrodes to come up with a solution, but he saw the silver words in the full-body mirror moving on their own and changing:

"Great Master, your loyal servant Arrodes has a small request. Can you please stop discussing the 'Goddess of Night'?"

At the end of this question, there was a sketch of a person curled up in a ball.

That's exactly what I want... Klein deliberately hesitated for two seconds and said:

"good."

On the mirror surface, the flow of silver traces suddenly became brisk, and words took shape one after another:

“There are two solutions to your previous question:

"The first is to actively accept the pollution and transform yourself into a monster in the darkness. The reason why these creatures do not disappear in the night is because they are protected by the authority of the Fall. In this way, all darkness will be pure and safe.

"The second is to create a temporary darkness in the dream world, so that the spirits can be protected by the 'dream'. This can effectively delay the erosion of the dangerous night."
