In the black night, in the green vine forest, Klein closed his eyes and listened to the music that seemed to come from the sky.

His body and mind were both peaceful and calm, yet he could feel a subtle sense of depression and sadness growing, spreading, and lingering.

I don’t know how long it took, but the melodious tune finally disappeared, and the gentle night breeze blew slowly among the hanging pea vines.

Klein sighed silently, opened his eyes, and looked up. He saw the "Mysterious Queen" Bernadette handing the "human skull" with holes in it to the "servant" with the upper body of a human and the lower body of wind.

"Okay." Bernadette's soft and calm voice sounded.

“Thank you for your help.” Klein bowed again and controlled the Wrathful Spirit, Senior, to walk back to his side.

At this time, the pea vines shrank upwards and gradually faded, and the green forest soon disappeared.

Klein and Senior landed at the entrance of the bridge at the same time. The area was quiet and deserted, except for a group of soldiers guarding the bridge not far away, with their backs facing this way, no different from before.

The fairy-tale scene just now seemed to be just an illusion.

It was not until this time that Klein had the leisure to examine his secret doll and found that he looked more like a dead man than before. His face was pale, his breath was cold, and he had a distinctly eerie feeling.

This should be the result of a one-time large dose of erosion... If they were only on duty at Chanis Gate, once or twice a week, for a whole day, it shouldn't be so serious. It's impossible that they couldn't bear it after two months... If that were the case, even the Orthodox Church couldn't afford such losses... It is estimated that normal internal watchers can survive for several years, or even ten years, but they are prone to mutation and loss of control... Alas, when they chose to become internal watchers, they should have known that this would be the outcome... Klein sighed and let the "ghost" Senior project itself onto the gold coin in the iron cigarette box.

Then, he used "Travel" continuously, first went around the sea to select food for "Creeping Hunger", and then returned to the master bedroom bathroom at 160 Böklund Street.

June 5th, Sunday, in the Hall family castle.

Audrey was sitting at her desk, admiring the magical item she had just obtained.

It takes the form of a pair of long black tulle gloves that reach the elbows, as if they came from the royal family, and has a noble and elegant temperament.

This originated from the extraordinary characteristics of the "Chaos Mentor" sold by Gehrman Sparrow of the "World", and was made by the "Craftsman" after a certain period of time.

Audrey consulted her father, Earl Hall, in advance and got the answer, "You can buy it and use it yourself. It's a good idea to show your filial piety." So she specifically instructed Mr. "The Hanged Man" to ask the "craftsman" to make it into an item that the lady can carry with her.

This also made her wonder if her father had any better magical items, or if the Goddess Church provided a very high level of protection.

According to the Hanged Man, this gauze glove can give the wearer several extraordinary effects:

One is to enhance the dignity and physique, so that the creatures around will unconsciously lower themselves and want to obey;

The second is to gain the ability to "distort" the target's language, actions, and intentions, thereby constructing certain rules that are beneficial to oneself;

The third is to use symbolic "bribes" to make the target feel strongly favorable, making it difficult for them to harbor hostile intentions, or even unwilling to fight with the wearer. If the conditions are right, the bribe recipient has a very small chance of attacking his companions in return. Audrey heard from Mr. World that this is a type of Bribery Extraordinary Ability, called "Bribe-Charm";

The fourth is to create "chaos" in the locked target or a certain area around it, making it difficult for the attack to fall on itself and making it easy for the enemy to "choose" wrongly.

Audrey was very satisfied with the effects, but what bothered her was that because the "craftsman" himself was not at a high enough level, the Sequence 5 magical item he created had a significant negative impact:

First, it will make the wearer's psychology gradually darker, always wanting to take shortcuts, use conspiracies, and do things by dishonorable means. Second, after wearing it for more than 3 minutes, the user himself will fall into a state of confusion. Audrey tried it before, and ended up making a mistake while taking a shower without realizing it.

The normal process was to let the maid run hot water and adjust the temperature, then take off your clothes, get into the bathtub, and finally finish washing. However, Audrey got into the bathtub first, then ran cold water, and only remembered to take off her clothes when they were soaked.

The only thing she was thankful for was that she finally controlled herself and did not call the maid in to witness her embarrassment.

This makes me look like a curly-haired baboon! Audrey thought, a little annoyed.

She felt that the first negative impact was acceptable because she was a "psychologist" and could often examine herself and eliminate some dark thoughts, and Susie could provide help from a bystander's perspective. However, the second one was a bit unbearable.

The second negative impact is a big problem. I can only carry it with me and wear it at the critical moment. Oh yes, I also have "lie". It can amplify my emotions. Combined with this glove, it will make the darkness in my heart very serious. I may not be able to resist it now... Audrey's blue eyes turned, thinking about the solution.

Just then, she heard a knock on the door.

Her personal maid Anne said outside:

"Miss, the Earl wants to see you."

Audrey left the black gauze glove on the table, stood up, walked to the door and opened it.

Earl Hall, who was not wearing a coat at home, but only a shirt and a vest, stroked his beautiful mustache and laughed:

"Are you not ready yet? We will be returning to Backlund soon.

"Tomorrow night is your 18th birthday party."

As he spoke, Earl Hall glanced at the maid Anne and others and asked them to consciously step back a distance.

"Well, it's the social season again." Audrey nodded in a mature manner. (Note 1)

Earl Hall looked at his daughter and asked with a smile:

"Have you figured out how to use that item?"

Audrey smiled and said:

"certainly.

"I'm going to fold it up and put it in a little bag and have Susie carry it."

In this way, because it is not worn or used, Susie will not become confused, and her dark psychological problems can be soothed and treated by Audrey. More importantly, without the amplification of "lies", Susie, who is also a "psychologist", can also examine herself and adjust her mental state from time to time.

Earl Hall was stunned for a moment, then laughed and praised:

"Smart idea."

Audrey was very proud, but she said in a very reserved manner:

“I was going to name it ‘Hand of Terror’.

"Dear Earl, thank you for your birthday gift~"

And in a few days, I can mix the potion and try to advance! Audrey added happily in her heart.

…………

Sunday night, 160 Böklund Street.

Klein stood on the balcony, looking at the street scene outside through the gap in the curtains, and he couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

If nothing unexpected happens, he will start stealing the Antigonus family notes soon.

Since he had enlisted the help of the "Queen of Mystery" Bernadette to make his secret doll appear to be corrupted, and had figured out the rotation pattern of the internal guards by frequently going to the church to pray, listen to scriptures, and donate, there was only one thing left for Klein to prepare for his theft plan.

That is how to replace the target quietly and without anyone noticing!

According to Klein's understanding, the internal guards would head underground at dawn, and at this time, the church had not yet opened. If they wanted to sneak in directly, they would have to risk being discovered by a demigod like the Archbishop of the Backlund Diocese. It could be said that there was basically no chance of success.

Therefore, Klein's plan was to sneak into the church a day in advance and wait patiently for the opportunity.

This undoubtedly requires sufficient disguise, but it is not a problem for the "Faceless Man".

After observing for a period of time, Klein discovered that the church also held a high mass on Sunday night because Sunday and night were both symbols of the goddess.

After the High Mass, the servants will be busy for a while, cleaning up the garbage and debris outside.

Klein's plan was to seize this opportunity, quietly knock out a servant, disguise himself as him, enter the church, and sleep in the servants' room.

To this end, he had already bought a sleeping pill from "The Moon" Emlyn in advance, with a suitable dosage that would allow a person to sleep for 10 hours without causing any physical harm, and paid a full 5 pounds for it.

Huh... After a few minutes, Klein exhaled slowly, drew the curtains, walked back into the room, took four steps backwards, and entered the gray fog.

Sitting in the position of The Fool, he pondered for nearly a minute, then produced a pen and paper and wrote down the divination statement:

"This theft of the Antigonus family notes is dangerous."

After putting away the dark red round-bellied fountain pen, Klein took out the pendulum from his left wrist cuff and grasped the silver chain with his left hand, letting the topaz pendant hang over the paper, almost touching it.

He entered into meditation, closed his eyes, and silently recited the divination phrase seven times. After slowly opening his eyes, he saw the pendulum rotating clockwise with normal amplitude and speed.

It’s dangerous, but it’s within the normal range… Klein quickly interpreted it.

He was actually a little worried whether this was interfered with by someone again, just like the "Mother Tree of Desire" had done before, but this could not be confirmed, let alone disproven.

Therefore, when the divination results, plans, and personal preparations all met the necessary conditions, Klein had already made a decision.

He looked at the yellow crystal pendant that gradually stopped rotating, and spoke in a low voice in his native language:

"The arrow is on the string and has to be shot."

Before he finished speaking, Klein let his spirituality wrap around him, simulating the feeling of falling, and returned to the real world.

This time, he planned to carry only three items with him, one was the "Creeping Hunger", the second was the "Senior Gold Coin", and the third was the "Azik Copper Whistle". The common feature of them was that they could all be put into the iron cigarette box and provided with double cover by the "Paper Angel" and the "Spiritual Wall".

The rest of the items would most likely not be able to pass through the Chanis Gate, and would easily cause mutations in the seal core, so Klein threw them all, along with the cash, onto the gray fog, and was prepared to flee immediately if any problems arose.

That is, the 3% shares of Coim Company purchased for 12,800 pounds can only be tied to the identity of Dwayne Dantès... Klein quickly gathered his thoughts, took a mirror, and placed it on the pillow.

Then, he drew the mysterious symbol that summoned the "Magic Mirror" Arrodes.

Note 1: Historically, the social season in London was from December after Christmas to June. When this book was set up, some plot arrangements and the fact that the main belief of the upper class in Loen was the "Lord of Storms" were taken into consideration. The time for discussing national affairs was set from June to September when storms were frequent. The social season naturally became from June to New Year. Of course, on weekends in autumn and winter, the nobles would definitely go fox hunting in the countryside. Don't get confused, and don't answer the exact opposite when someone asks about the social season in London.
