Chapter 1093 The Angels of The Fool
Queen Mystics powers are all very fantasticalno, fairytale-like... Klein glanced at the fountain pen that was writing on its own. He took out a pen and paper from his pocket and wrote the incantation to summon his messenger. He also indicated that each letter delivery needed the payment of a gold coin.
Right on the heels of that, he handed the piece of paper to Bernadette and took the other partys piece of paper. He quickly scanned through it.
An invisible creature that roams the upper realms, a strange spiritual body that is friendly to humans, a messenger that belongs solely to Bernadette Gustav...
Theres a certain difference between this and a standard incantation, but its essentially the same... Hmm, Queen Mystic mustve deliberately changed it to this to prevent others from trying out the summoning incantation and using the connection between the messenger and the contractor to lock onto her... For me, it doesnt matter. My messenger is an angel. Only She can threaten others, and no one can threaten Her. Even if She were to meet Zaratul, She should have the ability to protect Herself and escape... Klein mumbled inwardly and shook the piece of paper, igniting a scarlet red flame.
As she looked at the piece of paper turning into dark ashes amidst the flames, Queen Mystic Bernadette said without emotion, What are your thoughts regarding the preventing of George Ills matter?
Having already made some considerations, Klein deliberately spoke slowly, First, dont be rash. Dont take risks that we cant bear. Dont hurt the innocent.
If not for the fact that Queen Mystic Bernadette had mentioned earlier that she hated wars and hated harming the innocent, Klein wouldnt have said so directly to prevent exposing his weaknesses. He wouldve used a milder and more roundabout method to achieve his goal.
Upon hearing this, Bernadette nodded slightly in acknowledgment.
Then, there are only three possibilities. One is to destroy the ritual at the critical moment and let George Ills advancement fail. The second is to attempt an assassination in advance so that He wont be able to hold the ritual. Klein deliberately didnt give his third idea as he first analyzed the viability of the first two possibilities. Assassination has an extremely slim chance of success. George III, or should I say, the one who will become Black Emperor should be a Sequence 1, so its not someone we can deal with.
Even if He1 has yet to advance to Sequence 1, he will definitely have acted ahead of time. Once He* completes the preparations for the ritual and consumes the potion, He will be able to quickly digest it and build a foundation for the future.
Of course, even if this situation has a very slim chance of happening, that person must be at least at the Sequence 2 level. Furthermore, the Augustus family definitely has no lack of Grade 0 Sealed Artifacts. Together with the protection bestowed to Him, its impossible for us to succeed.
Here, he changed the way he addressed George III from him to Him.
After calmly listening to everything, Bernadette seemed to do an assessment.
As long as we can create a good opportunity, a Sequence 2 can also be assassinated, but at least one of us will die, or perhaps both of us.
What she meant was that the Grade 0 Sealed Artifact she wielded was sufficiently powerful, magical, and terrifying. However, if she wanted to fully utilize it, the price paid would be very high.
In that case, there really is a chance. Thats because I lied just now. If I really had to give it my all, I could still find Will Auceptin, Pallez Zoroast, and Miss Messenger to help me. I can let Them use the Yesterday Once More charm to recover Their normal states for a short period of time. The problem is that I dont know how much of a price needs to be paid, or what kind of effects it would have on the situation. I also need to consider if it would end up involving Kings of Angels like Ouroboros and Amon...
It would be great if Mr. Azik woke up. With four angels and Queen Mystics Grade 0 Sealed Artifact, as long as we create an opportunity, we can even place our sights on a Sequence 1. Of course, the chances of failure are extremely high, since theres no way to sustain it for long... Kleins heart was stirred when he heard that, but he didnt discuss it further.
It wasnt that he wasnt willing to be honest during the cooperation effort, nor was it that he didnt trust Queen Mystic. Instead, Will Auceptin and Pallez Zoroast were being pursued, so once Their whereabouts were exposed, it was very likely that it would lead to Their deaths. This was something that Klein absolutely didnt want to see happen.
He vaguely said, If assassination attempt is the only solution left, I can invite at least two angels to help.
This was referring to Death Consul Azik Eggers and Snake of Fate Will Auceptin who Bernadette already knew of. She could guess the latter through the drop of Mythical Creatures blood.
Bernadette was extremely surprised.
This is that entitys will?
Without the consent of The Fool, how could His Blessed seek the help of an angel?
He has tacitly agreed to it, Klein spoke the absolute truth.
Queen Mystics blue eyes turned darker. She didnt say another word and only nodded slowly.
As for Klein, he brought the topic back on track.
The destruction of the ritual might be relatively simple, but it has to be done at the most critical moment. Otherwise, it will only be delaying George Ills apotheosis. He has already received the tacit consent of the deities, so He isnt concerned about that. Even if the mausoleum is destroyed, it wouldnt take long for Him to rebuild it.
And it being destroyed at the critical moment will cause Him to fail at the advancement and lose control to become a monster. No deity would allow such a creature to roam the world freely. A deitys descent will definitely happen to kill it off. The problem is that, with a King of Angelss reminder and help, George III wont take it lightly. He will definitely arrange for the most secure protective measures. The difficulty might only be lower than directly killing Him.
This requires us to gather intelligence as soon as possible and find an incisive angle to be used.
And be it the first line of thought or the second line of thought, its best that you advance to Sequence 2 in advance and become a Sage.
Bernadette nodded slightly to show that she understood.
She then said, What about the third line of thought?
Klein was silent for a few seconds before saying, If the ritual was successful back then and the emperor had already advanced to Sequence 0, then He would still have a chance to revive. As long as we could find the arrangements left behind by the emperor before George Ills apotheosis and allow Him to return, the plot of George III will fail.
He didnt use the word him to refer to Roselle as Bernadette did, to avoid exposing his identity.
Queen Mystics eyes clearly flickered before they turned dark and reserved.
She opened her mouth slightly and said, Ill hand over selected diary entries to Cattleya.
Klein didnt discuss the matter deeply. Instead, he smiled and said, Actually, theres still a fourth line of thought.
Bernadettes eyebrows twitched as she expressed her doubts.
Thats to do nothing. Let George III hold the ritual and attempt to become a god while we wait for Him to fail. Klein gave a self-deprecating laugh. The higher the Sequence is, the greater the chance of failure.
This was actually the truth. Even if there was the script written by Amons brother with the road to success completely paved, and even if George III had perfectly digested the previous potions, the odds of Him successfully advancing to become a god didnt exceed fifty percent.
Of course, what Klein said was just a self-deprecating remark.
Queen Mystic didnt immediately respond. She looked seriously at Gehrman Sparrow for a few seconds before saying, The feeling you give off to me now is different from the previous few meetings.
Im taking advice from my psychiatrist. Klein smiled, describing himself as a very serious mental patient.
Without another word, Bernadette retracted her gaze and looked at the fountain pen lying on the table.
Then, lets gather the corresponding information and maintain communication through letters.
At this point, she paused for a moment before speaking again. Her gaze remained unchanged.
Actually, Im wondering if he mightve already been resurrected. Its just that hes still finding his past self... Im not sure what details the Black Emperors resurrection entails. I wonder if he really chose to be the Black Emperor in the end...
Bernadettes voice gradually became ethereal and carried an indescribable feeling.
As Klein listened, he suddenly understood what Queen Mystic was thinking or expecting.
She suspected that The Fool was the resurrected Roselle, suspecting that the emperor had fooled every one in the past. In fact, he had never thought of switching to the Black Emperor pathway. Instead, he had chosen another path. As such, he needed to find himself by seeking out his past diary pages and Cards of Blasphemy.
Unfortunately, Im just Uncle Zhou from next door... Klein originally wanted to say something cheeky, but his emotions gradually turned staid, making it difficult for him to force himself to relax.
Without saying anything, he stood up, bowed, put on his hat, and left the room.
After closing the door to the Golden Theater room and taking two steps forward, he suddenly heard a tranquil and melodious tune.
This melody was ethereal and carried with it a faint sense of melancholy.
After pausing for a few seconds, Klein turned towards the hall and left with Flaming Jump.
City of Silver, a team gathered at the city gate and was about to set off.
This was the team that was headed for Afternoon Town to prepare the exploration of the Giant Kings Court.
Derrick Berg was standing in the middle and was the second shortest person. In his hand was a bronze cross with sharp spikes.
To his sides were Joshua and Haim. They were prepared to receive the Unshadowed Crucifix at any time to prevent Derricks Beyonder characteristic from being purged.
This Sealed Artifact required three people to take turns to resist the negative effects.
As he looked down at the Creators relic, he suddenly felt someone looking at him. He subconsciously looked up and saw that it was a member of the six-member council, Shepherd Elder Lovia.
The woman, who was shortest in the group, had long silver and slightly curled hair. She was looking at the ancient, mottled Unshadowed Crucifix with her pale gray eyes. Her gaze seemed to be blazing hot.
Upon sensing Derricks gaze, this Shepherd Elders lips twitched, revealing an indescribable smile.
This is the Lords item.
For some reason, Derrick shivered. Then, he heard the Chief, Colin Iliad, say, Lets set off.
