"No..." Qiunas Kilger stood still, feeling a strong sense of despair in his heart.

As a military demigod who had experienced many dangers, he had a clear understanding of his current situation and could hear the footsteps of death approaching.

He wanted to fight to the death and reveal the form of a mythical creature, but when the order was given in the form of slow thoughts, it had no effect.

His body was "parasitized" and was no longer under his control!

At this moment, Qonas Kilger couldn't even shed a tear.

Under the shining of the huge red moon, time passed second by second. Suddenly, Qonas Kilger raised his left hand and touched his hair.

He has become Klein's secret puppet.

In fact, he still had a chance in the end, because the "parasitism" could not be maintained for as long as the time required for complete transformation into a puppet. With two or three seconds, he could try to reveal the form of a mythical creature.

But the problem was that he was still under the effects of misleading and deceiving others. His thoughts became more and more sluggish and slow as time went by, and he was unable to grasp that brief opportunity at all.

Klein looked at the new secret doll, exhaled silently, raised his head, looked at the clear and bright red moon and said:

"alright."

In the huge red moon, a black dot suddenly stood out and fell from the sky. It was the Archbishop of the Church of Night, Arianna, the "Servant of Secrets", who was wearing a simple robe and a bark belt.

In this secret world, this ascetic monk did not use any extraordinary abilities, but just floated in the air, casting his gaze at the "Fallen Count" below.

He raised his right hand slightly, and the slightly blurry soul of Qonas Kilger appeared above the head of the military demigod. Klein thus lost control of the secret doll.

He was not too surprised by this. After all, he had not yet separated out a "Spirit Worm" to pass it over through the "Spirit Body Line". His control over the secret doll was essentially still at the Sequence 5 stage, not even at the demigod level.

"Where did you go just now?" Arianna asked calmly while looking at the soul of Qonas Kilger.

Qonas Kilger's expression twisted slightly, and then he replied:

"Relic No. 1."

...Is this a contractual commitment or a psychological suggestion? Klein, who was watching the "psychic communication", noticed something from the reaction of the "Fallen Count".

However, this does not affect anything, because this is a secret world, a world that no one knows about and no one can sense.

"Where is the relic located? Who did it belong to? What is it used for now?" As the archbishop of the "Goddess of Night" and an angel of the corresponding path, Arianna could share a certain amount of secret authority, so she didn't start with simple questions, but went straight to the point without worrying about any accidents.

The soul of Qonas Kilger trembled slightly, giving people a feeling that it would explode on its own, but in the end nothing happened.

He replied hesitantly:

"The ruins are located in the Stryven section of the Tussock River, deep underground, and have arrangements that interfere with divination and prophecy."

The Stryven section... This is quite a distance from the mountain where Mr. A was before and the place where you just disappeared. It seems that you are still very cautious, and the effect of that point-to-point "teleportation" is much better than I expected... A map of the northwest suburbs of Backlund quickly formed in Klein's mind.

Qonas Kilger continued to answer:

"That ruin once belonged to the Blood Emperor Alistair Tudor. I don't know what it is currently used for. I cannot go deep into the ruins. I am only responsible for sending the people and materials collected by various means into it."

The name of the Blood Emperor Alistair Tudor made Arianna silent. After two or three seconds, she said:

"What materials did you collect?"

This time, Qonas Kilger did not resist too much and told them everything, including a large amount of mercury, iron ore, and ritual materials from different fields. However, Klein was unable to extract any useful information from it because it was too comprehensive and anything was possible.

As expected, they were very cautious, using a lot of miscellaneous items to cover up the things they really wanted to collect. Even the demigod in charge of this matter didn't know why... This was very much the style of the Beyonders of the Audience Path. Was it the design of the Psychological Alchemy Society? Klein nodded slightly with some speculation.

Arianna didn't seem to notice anything either, so she asked:

"Do you have any guesses of your own about what they're doing? What is it?"

"Yes, I suspect they are digging something up and trying to offer sacrifices." Qonas Kilger made his own judgment.

Arianna looked down at him quietly for a while and said:

“Who asked you to get involved in the underground ruins?

"Who can enter the depths of the ruins?"

Qonas Kilger struggled again, but still no changes occurred.

He hesitated and said:

“I accepted the order from His Majesty the King. I was able to become a demigod because he provided the formula, materials, and opportunities. He also gave me the ‘Concerto of Light and Shadow’, which allowed me to play the role of a Sequence 5 Beyonder without retaining my strength.

"In addition to His Majesty the King, currently only two demigods of the royal family can enter the depths of the ruins. One is Prince Grove and the other is Duchess Georgina."

They all have the last name Augustus... But there are definitely more than just these two demigods in the royal family... Miss Justice didn't know much about these two either. She only mentioned that they rarely participated in social activities and even gave their seats in the House of Lords to their children... Well, at the level of demigods, even if they don't have Beyonder traits like "immortality" or "immortality", it's not a problem for them to live for over a hundred years. They are indeed not suitable for holding public office and appearing in public frequently... Klein tried hard to recall, but to no avail.

Arianna was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly asked:

"Have you seen Correns in the underground ruins?"

"Who is he?" Qiunas Kilger asked in confusion.

Arianna did not answer and continued to ask:

"Besides them, who else have you seen in the underground ruins?"

Qonas Kilger remained in the slightly dazed state of being “channeled” and said:

"There are also people from the Witch Cult and the Psychological Alchemist Society. The former's representative was originally 'Desperate Nightingale' Panatia, but after the great haze, it was replaced by 'White Saint' Katarina. The latter is Hvin Rambis."

"Have they ever gone deep into the underground ruins?" Arianna asked carefully.

"I don't know. I didn't follow them all the time." Qonas Kilger shook his head. "At least when I met them there, they were all in the outer area."

Arianna asked other questions, trying to outline the overall situation from other angles and aspects, but it was obvious that King George III's arrangements had almost no loopholes. Even a demigod like Chonas Kilger only knew what his mission was and could only move within a certain area, without knowing more.

After thinking for a while, Arianna turned her right hand over and pressed down gently, pressing Qonas Kilger's soul back into his body. Klein then regained control of the marionette.

This made Klein couldn't help but sigh in his heart:

The power of secrecy is so powerful! Even if Lady Arianna secretly interrogated my secret doll one day, I would have no way of knowing...

At this time, Arianna turned her body and said to him on the balcony:

“It can be basically confirmed that there is a problem with George III and where the underground ruins are.

"I will immediately meet with the Archbishop of the Storm Church and the Steam Church in Backlund and convince them to take action tonight and open the ruins.

"Before I notify you, you control Qonas Kilger, pretend that he is fine, and then make him disappear."

Is this because they are worried that during the negotiation with the Church of Storms and the Church of Steam, they might find out that something is wrong with Qonas Kilger and seal off the underground ruins in advance or activate other emergency plans? Klein roughly understood and nodded:

"No problem."

Arianna, who had her hair simply draped, didn't say anything more about this matter. She casually moved her hand and took the "iron sheet" pocket watch over:

"This seal was given by King George III. Perhaps we can find some clues from its earlier origins."

You mean you want to take it away? Klein responded without any resistance:

"It's in your hands."

He really had no complaints about this, and even thought that this was how it should be. After all, half of the credit for this battle went to Arianna's secret world and the "blessing" of doom. In that case, even if the other party didn't take the "Concerto of Light and Shadow", Klein would have taken the initiative to offer it. In this regard, he has always been fair.

Of all the spoils of war, the "Concerto of Light and Shadow" was the one he least wanted, because it was incompatible with the "Magic Master's" fighting style. The random changes would inevitably affect his own performance and weaken him far more than the enemy.

Klein had just considered that if the spoils he got were this pocket watch, he would have to trick, no, sell it to Will Auceptin, the "Snake of Fate" - only the demigod members of the School of Life who survived by luck could control the "Concerto of Light and Shadow". By then, such a large secret organization and such a Sequence 1 would definitely have other powerful seals to exchange.

After receiving his response, Arianna nodded slightly and threw the "Iron Skin" pocket watch back into the arms of Qonas Kilger, making the "Fallen Count" look no different from before.

His figure then disappeared, as if erased by an eraser, and along with it, the huge red moon hanging high in the sky, the dark world of spires and chimneys, was also quickly erased.

In an instant, everything returned to normal: Klein was in the master bedroom, and Qonas Kilger was in the guest bedroom several dozen meters away, tightly holding the "Revere's Desperate Scream" in his hand.

Then, the MI9 major general took advantage of the "chaos" to put his pistol back into the gun bag under his armpit, picked up the glass of Meige Estate specialty wine that he had just poured, and took a sip.
