As his thoughts raced, Klein suddenly switched places with Enuni, the personal servant in the next room.
About 150 meters away from the main house of the manor, a centipede that was crawling slowly under the grape vines suddenly stiffened and then relaxed.
Almost at the same time, its figure disappeared from the spot, and Dwayne Dantès, wearing blue and white plaid pajamas, appeared there.
Klein swapped positions with the secret doll again!
He decided to use this method to secretly follow Qonas Kilger and find out where he was going and what he was going to do.
Although this would only allow him to "teleport" 150 meters at a time, and each "activation" would take two to three seconds - there was a process of "mystery", but compared to "fire jump" and "travel teleportation", it was sufficiently concealed, making very little noise, and was difficult for Qiunas Kilger to discover.
You have to know that he is a demigod. Even if he is not good at spiritual intuition and other fields, he is still a demigod and should never be underestimated!
By the same token, the reason why Klein did not rely on Creeping Hunger to hide in the shadows was because although this kind of tracking was stealthy, the speed was relatively slow, and it was impossible to catch up with a demigod.
In the deep night, from Meige Manor to the south bank of the Tussock River, mice, poisonous snakes, spiders, and river fish that roamed among the tree roots and played among the stones became stiff and sluggish one after another.
One secret doll after another was transformed, and with their help, Klein continued to "teleport" without causing any noise. He soon arrived at the south bank of the Tussock River and caught up with Qonas Kilger, keeping a distance of nearly 1 kilometer.
——For the “trickster”, even if the puppet was out of his control range, it would not be directly released from the controlled state and die on the spot. Without the catalysis of the “trickster”’s consciousness, this process was quite slow and took nearly ten minutes. Therefore, Klein was not worried about losing the “winner” Enuni lying in his bed due to tracking. As long as he could return within ten minutes, he could continue to control the puppet.
Silently, Klein followed Chunas Kilger, went up the Tussock River, passed through a dense forest, and climbed up the mountain beside the shore.
At this moment, Qonas Kilger, who was not wearing a vest or a coat, suddenly stopped and checked the surroundings, gradually expanding the scope as if he was marking his territory.
Seeing this, Klein did not dare to stay. He immediately exchanged positions with the secret doll and retreated continuously, creating a distance of nearly 3 kilometers between him and the major general deputy director of MI9.
At the same time, he took the initiative to give up control of the secret dolls in front of him, so that the death of a few small insects would not arouse suspicion.
This is so common in the suburbs and in the mountains!
Nast, the "King of the Five Seas", can create a combat environment that is favorable to him. Would Qonas Kilger, who is also a demigod on the "Black Emperor" path, be able to demarcate an area and tamper with, add, or use certain rules so that once a tracker enters there, his whereabouts will be exposed and he will no longer be able to hide? It is very likely! Klein cautiously took out a gold coin from his pajamas pocket and let it spin and jump between his fingers, flipping back and forth.
This time, he deliberately controlled the strength, and there was no clanging sound. The gold coin flew up silently, then fell down and landed in his palm.
Klein didn't need to lower his head. The state of the gold coin was naturally reflected in his mind:
The King's head is facing up!
This means that something unusual has occurred in the area ahead, and there is a high risk!
As expected of a demigod, such abilities are really enviable... But do you think you can escape my "tracking" like this? Klein laughed in his heart, stepped back a few dozen meters, found an extremely secluded place, and transformed himself into Gehrman Sparrow.
Then, he clasped his hands together, put them in front of his mouth, and whispered:
"The patron saint of the sea and the spirit world, the protector of the Rorsted Archipelago, the ruler of the creatures on the seabed, the master of tsunamis and storms, the great Kalvetuva..."
After finishing his prayer, Klein immediately took four steps backwards and came to the gray fog. He sat in the position of The Fool and waved his hand to take the short bone staff with a circle of blue gems on the top.
Then, with the help of his prayer light and the response of the "Scepter of Poseidon" to believers, he saw the situation in the area where Gehrman Sparrow was.
He then took the initiative to raise his field of vision, allowing the nearby scene to come into view, and using this as a base point, expanded it out by 5 nautical miles in all directions - this was the limit of the range that the "Scepter of Poseidon" could observe with the help of the believers' prayers.
As a result, the area designated by Qonas Kilger where nothing could escape his perception appeared in Klein's sight.
…………
In the dock area, inside the warehouse where a lot of goods are stored.
"Love..." After Triss laughed softly, her figure suddenly faded and was stained with the glow of a lake at night.
In an instant, she was wrapped in layers of spider silk by the "ageless witch" Caterina Pellet and tightly bound, turning into an illusory mirror.
It was a full-length mirror taller than a person. The water inside was rippling and glowing darkly, like a door leading to another world.
At this moment, instead of reflecting the scene in front of it, it outlines a room.
The room was dim and gloomy. The beds and furniture were cut into countless neat small pieces and scattered everywhere. Only the area in the center was clean and spotless.
Triss stood there, wearing a gloomy black dress, her hair flowing smoothly down her back, fluttering in the wind, making her face look unusually white, like a female ghost in folklore.
She was not actually at the scene, but with the help of the illusory mirror, she projected her figure and power over from an unknown distance, as if it were real!
Therefore, she was not at all panicked about being controlled and hunted.
Upon seeing this situation, Catalina Pellet, who was wearing a simple holy white robe, did not hesitate at all and let out a sharp scream.
Invisible sound waves spread rapidly, and her hair also floated up. Each strand was clearly visible, all of them were thick, and dyed a dull gray color.
The illusory and mysterious full-length mirror suddenly shook violently, as if it would collapse at any time.
In the messy room it illuminated, the broken pieces of the bed, desk, and chair turned gray and lost their luster, like one stone after another.
In front of Triss, the brown-yellow floor also turned into gray-white stones and quickly extended towards the only human in the room, like a surging tide.
Triss didn't try to resist. She turned around and rushed to the open window while waving her hands back.
In mid-air, strands of her invisible spider silk stood out, all of them becoming dim and turning gray.
At the same time, cracks appeared on the dark and deep full-length mirror, and with an illusory snapping sound, it collapsed and disappeared.
However, before the full-length mirror completely disappeared, in the completely petrified room, the gray and white color strangely flowed back and condensed into a human figure.
The figure was wearing a simple and holy white robe, had extremely shiny black hair, and had a pair of blue eyes that seemed mature and innocent, deep and childish. She was exactly the "ageless witch" Katarina who was in the warehouse just now!
The dim light dissipated, and Viscount Stratford could no longer see what was happening in the room "opposite".
He retracted his gaze and cast his eyes on Sherman next to him. His expression became slightly complicated, then returned to normal.
"Triss is really patient. In order to deal with me, she actually spent several months training a new witch." Viscount Stratford shook his head and chuckled. "What exactly does she want you to get from me?"
At this moment, with the connection with Triss cut off, the spider silk around Sherman had loosened and could no longer bind her and restrict her movements.
The beautiful girl had a blank expression and answered with empty eyes:
"She asked me to find out who your true allegiances are."
Without waiting for Viscount Stratford to speak, she showed an indescribable look in her eyes and asked hesitantly:
"How many of the things you said to me and the promises you made were true?"
Viscount Stratford was stunned for a moment, then laughed:
"You are probably the dumbest and most naive witch I have ever seen..."
Sherman's expression froze on her face, and the light in her eyes that had finally regained its focus dimmed again little by little.
…………
Outside the warehouse, in another direction, Xio and Fors were hiding in the shadows, observing the silent target area.
They followed Viscount Stratford here!
——Their patience paid off. They discovered that the chief palace guard had left the mansion in the dead of night and rushed to the dock area near the Backlund Bridge.
Relying on the ability of "Sheriff" Hugh, they chased here from a long distance and confirmed that Viscount Stratford entered the warehouse in the front side.
In addition, they also noticed one thing, that is, Viscount Stratford was not in good condition and seemed to be injured.
“In fact, we had the opportunity to take action on the way here…” Fors whispered as he looked at the warehouse door.
Without turning his head, Hugh said:
"But you said yourself that you always felt that things were not that simple and wanted to wait a little longer."
"This could be the intuition of the 'astrologer', or it could be a sign of procrastination..." Fors laughed at himself.
They said nothing more, fell silent again, and continued to wait patiently.
At this moment, a dark flame suddenly started burning on the rammed earth in front of them.
This strange flame quickly split apart, moving around along the ground, outlining a line of Rune text:
"The opportunity you've been longing for has arrived."
Xio and Fors' pupils dilated at the same time, and then they looked at each other, not knowing how to react or what to say.
"What should we do?" After a few seconds, Fors finally couldn't bear it anymore and asked.
