On the mirror surface, pale silver words floated up one by one in the ripples:

"...Accept the Beyonders who are willing to surrender from the Church of the God of War and the Feysac military, and only purge the few middle and high-level people who are very devout and willing to sacrifice their lives for their faith. This is not only the tolerance and mercy of the Goddess, but also an inevitable measure to deal with the situation in the future...When the end of the world is approaching step by step, the number of Beyonder events in various places will inevitably increase. In order to maintain the stability of the entire world, we can only strengthen our strength as quickly and as much as possible.

"If we harvest the Beyonders from the Church of the God of War and the Feysac military, even if we obtain the corresponding characteristics, we will not be able to cultivate experienced Beyonders of the same level within a few years. Whether it is digesting magic potions or accumulating experience, it will take enough time..."

Seeing this, Klein said "uh" in his heart. He felt that this was not the usual tone of "Magic Mirror" Arrodes, but more like an official document.

It displayed the entire document that it had peeked at from somewhere... The word "digest" was used, indicating that the writer and the reader of the document had mastered the method of acting, and judging from the tone of voice, it was someone from the Church of Evernight... Combining these two points, it is not difficult to conclude that this was a document circulated between the archbishop and the senior deacons, and the writer should be the pontiff of the Church of Tranquility... Arrodes's ability to peek is very strong... Klein nodded imperceptibly and waited for the content in the mirror to "turn the page."

One by one, the pale silver words disappeared and reappeared, quickly forming new sentences and paragraphs:

“For ordinary nobles and people in Feysac, there is no need to publicize the fact that the goddess has replaced the ‘God of War’. Let them still retain their faith in the ‘God of War’. On the one hand, this will help us and the surrendered priests and bishops take over the cathedrals and stabilize the situation in Feysac as quickly as possible. On the other hand, it will also prevent the goddess from being disturbed by beliefs that she cannot handle before she fully grasps the authority of the ‘God of War’.

“We will make the replacement when the new oracle comes down, and now we are just making corresponding plans.

"...Try not to provoke strong resistance from Feysac and other countries. We have lost too many Beyonders and soldiers, and consumed a lot of resources and items. Whether it is the church, the country, or the people of different classes, they are all very weak. It takes a period of peace and stability to recover... It is best for us to unite the Storm Church, the Knowledge Church, the Earth Church, Feynaport, Renburg and other countries to force Intis and Feysac to surrender unconditionally and get what we want from the negotiation table. In this process, we can use the purge of stubborn elements to exert pressure.

“When dealing with domestic situations and taking over the blank areas left by the Steam Church, we must give the Storm Church enough respect and even make concessions on certain matters. This is the will of the Goddess.

"Finally, from now on, reduce the number of times the red moon appears in preaching, sacrifices, masses, etc., and no longer mention the title of the goddess 'Lord of Crimson' in official documents..."

No longer mentioning the title of "Lord of Crimson"... Klein's eyebrows twitched slightly, and he felt extremely puzzled by the last sentence.

Soon, he thought of the ancestor of the blood clan, the ancient god of the Second Age, and now the "Mother Goddess of the Earth" Lilith, who was once the Sequence 0 of the "Moon" pathway and the real "Lord of Crimson". He suddenly realized that this might be the exchange under the table and a necessary price.

"Well... the attitude of the goddess is very clear, that is to stabilize the situation as soon as possible... Before She truly controls the authority of the 'God of Death' and the 'God of War' and becomes the 'Old One', there is no doubt that she does not want any more righteous gods to fall. In that case, the gap in the invisible barrier left by the 'Original' will be left unfilled, and the Outer Gods will find an opportunity to bring the end of the world ahead of time... In addition, judging from the current situation in Loen, if the war continues, the anchor will be shaken even more, and it may cause the 'Original' in the goddess' body to awaken...

"The Goddess took a big risk by retreating the battle line to Backlund. She had to allocate more power to suppress the 'Origin'. If the 'Mother Goddess of the Earth' betrayed her, He might fall faster than the 'God of War'. Uh, does He have any other trump cards?

"It seems that the losses of the Goddess Church and the Storm Church are not small. No wonder after the rebels announced that they would retain the corresponding churches and respect the Storm faith, those violent guys did not try to counterattack and acquiesced to the establishment of the new government..." Klein muttered a few words to himself and had a general grasp of the current situation.

He then asked a third question:

"If the 'Goddess of Night' wants to go further, does she need to find the 'River of Eternal Darkness'?"

This is one of the nine source substances. Klein remembered that Arrodes once said that this "river" was related to the ancient god of death, the ancestor of the phoenix, Graygari. The clue seemed to be hidden deep in the spiritual city of Calderon.

"Yes, great master." The pale silver words twisted and squirmed, forming new words. "The Death God at the end of the Fourth Epoch should have been able to use the 'River of Eternal Darkness'. He tried to rely on this source to forcibly accommodate the 'uniqueness' of non-adjacent paths, and then, he went crazy."

So the God of Death was so crazy back then. I said that a Sequence 0 true God who had experienced three epochs and seen the Blasphemous Slate would not be without common sense and drink potions recklessly. He was not Alistair Tudor, and he was already in a state of madness or death... No wonder the God of Death dared to challenge the divided Seven Gods with only the Original Witch. At that time, He was equivalent to half of the Old One... Well, Mr. Azik had a golden phoenix ornament from the God of Death... Klein connected some things together.

Suddenly, he hissed in his heart, and began to doubt that the price the goddess marked for so many gifts was "The River of Eternal Darkness".

It was just like the "True Creator" tolerated him repeatedly in order to drive him into the Giant King's residence and get the first "blasphemous slate"!

As the master of the "Source Castle", he is probably the only one with a higher sequence who can resist the pollution of other source materials.

Of course, the "Goddess of Night" can also wait for a few more years or even decades until the "Original" will further fades, and then go to get it in person, but in this case, Klein does not know whether he will be able to complete the ritual before doomsday.

He then gathered his thoughts and asked the fourth question:

"Where can I get the recipe for the 'Secret Servant' potion?"

The "magic mirror" Arrodes reorganized the pale silver words into new content:

"Zaratul; the first 'blasphemous tablet'; the second 'blasphemous tablet'; the 'Fool' card in the 'blasphemous card'; the mythical creature that the 'Fool' and 'uniqueness' evolved into."

The first and second options are probably planning how to deal with me... Zaratul is more terrifying and cunning than the Dark Wolf. If I plot against him, I will most likely fall into his trap, which is very risky... The third option is his brother Amon. He should have become a "dreamer" with the help of this war. If I provoke him, even "Source Castle" may not be able to save me... The fourth and fifth options are both related to the half "Fool" of the Antigonus family and the goddess's misty town. Uh, the goddess should have a way to bypass that half "Fool" and take out the "blasphemous card", but maybe I have to exchange it for the "River of Eternal Darkness"... Klein found that he seemed to have entered a dead end.

In front of this road is the "River of Eternal Darkness", and behind it is the leader of the secret order, Zaratul.

What a pity. If I could find the Dark Wolf, I could try to negotiate with Him. He should have seen the first Blasphemous Slate and mastered the potion formula of the Mysterious Servant... Alas, He will run away as soon as he smells my breath... Klein thought for a moment and said to the Magic Mirror Arrodes:

"Fifth question, you said before that you saw support and domination in me, what did you mean?"

The water light in the mirror flickered slightly, and the deep feeling became more obvious. The corresponding light silver text seemed to be a little whiter:

“My Lord, this is a feeling I cannot describe in words.

"However, I have seen a similar feeling in another being before. Apart from Him, you are the only one who has it. That being is the ancient sun god."

The ancient sun god... Klein nodded thoughtfully:

"Okay, it's your turn to ask questions."

On the mirror surface, the pale silver words instantly turned golden:

"Supreme Lord, can you take your loyal and humble servant Arrodes with you this time?"

"Supreme Lord, can you take your loyal and humble servant Arrodes with you this time?"

…

This question appeared five times in a row, completely filling the surface of the mirror.

Klein, who had become an angel, was no longer so afraid of Arrodes. He thought for a few seconds and smiled.

"I'll go talk to that angel. It's just common courtesy."

With a bang, illusory lights of different colors burst out from the mirror one after another, exploding into fireworks in the carriage.

Almost at the same time, two slightly dim lights stretched out from the edge, and the mirror grew two arms that were not real enough.

The two "arms" originally wanted to reach out to Klein's calves, but then silently retracted and swayed gently in place.

"Praise the Most High and Great Master!" After the fireworks fell one after another, a golden message burst out in the mirror.

…………

In the middle of a running steam train, in a simply furnished room.

A tall, handsome young man with long chestnut hair sat on a hardwood chair, facing the triangular holy emblem, clasped his hands, closed his eyes, and prayed devoutly.

On the narrow table to the side of him, there was a doll made of metal parts. Behind the doll, there was a faint light interweaving.

Suddenly, the young man opened his eyes and looked to the other side.

I don't know when a figure appeared there.

But in the young man's blue eyes, the figure only looked like a human, but in essence it was an invisible vortex wearing a silk top hat and a black windbreaker. Inside the vortex, there were transparent and twisted worms huddled together, coming and going.

"Gehrman Sparrow." The young man said a name calmly.

All the objects around him floated up at this moment, but there was no wind in the room.

Klein pressed his hat on his head, revealing his human face and said:

"I don't know what to call you?"

The young man nodded slightly and said:

"Bonois Gustave."
