Chapter 142 Hiding in the Dark

On the way from Boklund Street to St. Samuel's Church, Klein passed by the "Luen Charity and Student Fund" at No. 22 Paisfield Street, and was quite surprised to find that the door was still open.

As the founder and current director, he has a considerable degree of concern about this, so he postponed his progress and abducted him.

As soon as he entered the gate, Klein saw Miss Audrey coming down from the second floor, followed by a personal maid, a golden retriever dog, and several staff members.

"Good afternoon, there doesn't seem to be anything here that needs to be persisted in this situation." Klein walked up to him and expressed his doubts.

Audrey held the newspaper in her hand, looked at Dawn Dantès and said:

"Several recipients were injured in the air strike. I just visited them and arranged follow-up treatment."

The eye sockets of this noble lady were slightly red, as if she had seen all kinds of sad things in the hospital.

"May the goddess bless them." Klein understood, and drew a crimson moon on his chest.

He took the opportunity to express his long-prepared thoughts:

"I plan to donate some more money to the foundation to buy food, medicine and medical equipment. In this man-made disaster, we can do more."

"It's a great idea. Those who are suffering will be grateful to you, Mr. Dantès." Audrey also tapped her chest clockwise four times, with obvious joy and pity in her eyes, "I I will do my best."

She didn't want to just donate money, but also organize the corresponding things.

Klein nodded and said:

"No need to praise me, at times like this, I just did what I was supposed to do.

"In addition to donations, I will also donate food. You can directly discuss these matters with my housekeeper Walter. Well, Miss Audrey, I can write a power of attorney to you now, so that you can transfer them in my name. The resources of Meige Manor."

"What about you, Mr. Dantès?" Audrey asked with a vague guess.

This is the most normal reaction in this context.

"I received a notice from the church to help them do some things. What exactly is it? I haven't been to St. Samuel's Church yet. I don't know yet. The only thing I can be sure of is that I have to travel around recently. It has been a long time There will be no way to return to Meisong Manor." Klein said the reason he made up before, "Miss Audrey, the time spent with the Foundation has allowed me to understand your character and ability, and your background and Your status also determines your vision and structure, entrusting this to you is the best way I can think of."

Klein didn't expect his lie to fool a senior "audience", he only wanted to deceive the people around "Justice" Audrey, um, that dog was not included.

Mister "World" is going to temporarily give up the identity of Dwayne Dantès in order to hide and do something? Audrey pretended to be thinking with some insight,

After pondering for a few seconds, he said:

"In this situation, I cannot refuse such a request."

Klein secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately asked his personal servant Enyuni to go upstairs to get the paper and pen, and then, under the witness of all the staff, he personally drafted a power of attorney, signed his name, and pressed the Fingerprinted and stamped.

After finishing all this, Klein turned his attention to the newspaper in Audrey's hand:

"Did anything else happen? I just came back from outside the city, and I only heard the newsboy shouting that the kingdom has declared war on Fusac."

Audrey pursed her lips and said with a slightly gloomy expression:

"Not long after the Feysac airship formation attacked Backlund, their Sunya Sea fleet took advantage of the cover of thick fog to attack the Royal Navy base on Oak Island in Pritz Harbor and the shipyards in the surrounding area. Thankfully Surprisingly, the Church of the Storm was warned in advance and sent a telegram ahead of time. Pritz Harbor was not lost, but a lot of ships and factories were lost. It is said that many people died and were seriously injured..."

"This is war..." Klein sighed, "Can you show me how the king declares war?"

Audrey knew that King George III had a problem, and could hear the sarcasm hidden in Mr. World's words, so she didn't refuse, and handed over the newspaper in her hand.

It was the Tussock Gazette.

And Klein didn't need to unfold it, and saw the king's war declaration directly on the front page headline:

"... Seven hundred and eight years ago, the Feysacs took Sonia Island from us,

"A year ago, the Feysacs took away half of our interests in East Balam,

"Today, they bombed Backlund and attacked Pritz Harbor. Many Loenites were killed and injured as a result, and the land was stained with blood.

"We can't back down anymore. Backing down can only be exchanged for the bullying of the Feysacs again and again. If we go any further, we will lose all our overseas interests, a large number of products will not be sold, and countless workers will lose their jobs. More farmers going bankrupt!

"...

"Everything, past and present, shows that justice is in our hands and that we are strong enough to achieve complete victory.

"Everyone, I, your emperor, George III, hereby represent the House of Lords and the Royal Government, and declare war on Feysac. Unless they raise the white flag and raise their hands to surrender, we will never stop advancing!

"Go forward, take back Sunia Island! Go forward, capture San Miron!

"Victory will belong to us, and the gods will be with us!"

Klein glanced through it quickly, using the ability of "Joker" to control the movement of the corners of his mouth.

He then returned the "Tasoke Newspaper" in his hand to Audrey, took off his hat, and saluted:

"The next thing will trouble you."

"Please rest assured." Audrey returned the gift with the power of attorney and newspaper.

Without further delay, Klein left the "Loen Charity and Student Fund" with his personal servant Enyuni and came to St. Samuel's Church.

At this time, there were no believers in this church, and most of them returned to their homes, busy preparing for life after the start of the war.

In the dark and quiet environment, Klein found a place to sit down, took off his hat, clasped his hands, put them in front of his mouth and nose, and whispered the honorable name of "Goddess of the Night", and then said:

"...I got the news from the evil spirit of the 'Red Angel' that Zaratul may have arrived in Backlund, and there is a high probability that the tomb hidden in the secret ruins of the 'Blood Emperor' is the mausoleum needed for the 'Dark Emperor' ceremony... "

After finishing the prayer, Klein waited patiently for a while, and saw Archbishop Anthony Stevenson coming in through the side door and walking towards him.

The saint had a clean face, no beard, and was wearing a black robe with a red moon logo on it. He walked without making a sound, like the night that was slowly falling.

After approaching Dwayne Dantès, Anthony didn't speak, but just gestured with his eyes, and then turned to the library.

Klein then stood up, put on his hat, and followed silently.

As for his personal servant Enyuni, he walked to the door of the church with a cane and waited there.

Outside the library, Archbishop Anthony turned around, smiled slightly, and said to Dwayne Dantès:

"The war broke out, there are too many things to do, as a devout follower of the goddess, are you willing to provide some help?"

Sure enough... It seems that Ms. Arianna has left Backlund... Klein drew the crimson moon on his chest while feeling emotional:

"It is my honor, praise the goddess."

Immediately after responding, he asked:

"What do you need me to do?"

"I'll let you know when something happens. Try not to go home during this time." Saint Anthony said in unreasonable words.

And Klein instantly understood what the other party meant, that is to hide first, and he doesn't have the energy to deal with Zaratul for the time being, so he can at most provide protection within a certain range.

Just as I thought, the goddess is digesting the "uniqueness" of the "Reaper" pathway, and she will not be able to descend for a long time, and the high-level church has to deal with the war again, and the negative effects of "0"-level sealed items are becoming more and more terrifying ... Klein nodded lightly:

"Yes, Your Excellency the Archbishop."

"May the goddess bless you." St. Anthony drew the crimson moon.

"Praise the goddess, the only destination is peace." Klein responded with gestures skillfully.

Then he left St. Samuel's Church and turned into another street with his valet.

After walking like this for a while, Dwayne Dantès and Enyuni disappeared at some point.

…………

East District, in a two-bedroom rental house.

Klein, with his plain face, took out the adventurer harmonica, brought it to his mouth, and blew.

Soon, Reinette Tinekerr, who was carrying four blond-haired and red-eyed heads, came out of the void, not at all surprised by the new appearance of her contractor.

Klein did not give the letter paper, and said directly:

"Tell Miss Sharron and Maric that Zaratul has come to Backlund, and he may have contact with the Rose School of Thought. Tell them to be careful. It's best not to even go to the 'Brave' bar in the near future."

"Zaratul..." This time, Reinette Tinekerr spoke from all four heads at the same time, and it seemed that it took a certain amount of energy to remember who it was.

"The leader of the Secret Order, the Sequence 1 angel who once went crazy and is now normal." Klein took out a gold coin and handed it to Miss Messenger.

He didn't say that Zaratul was very interested in Gehrman Sparrow, and believed that Miss Messenger, who is a high-ranking spirit creature, would be able to perceive her own specialness to a certain extent, otherwise this angel would not need to lower herself to be a messenger— —If it was for the "replay yesterday" spell, he could have helped in a more decent way.

As for why Zaratul did not discover the aura of gray mist in the misty town, but was interested in Gehrman Sparrow, Klein believes that there are three reasons. Home" came to Backlund, and predicted something. The second is that Gehrman Sparrow got the wrong symbol and was able to leave the foggy town and return to the real world. The third is that Gehrman Sparrow might have a relationship with It is related to the organization that believes in "The Fool".

After Zaratul came into contact with the Rose School and discovered that the "Mother Tree of Desire" also had a certain interest in Gehrman Sparrow, even if he didn't have any guessing direction in his mind, the degree of attention would rise in a straight line.

Reinette Tinekerr didn't say anything more, one of them swung its head forward and bit the gold coin.

After watching the messenger leave, Klein pulled up a chair and sat down, looking at the sky outside the window across a wooden desk.

Now the layout of this rental house is the same as the one he lived in in Tingen, with a bedroom inside and a living room, dining room and study outside, with a bunk bed.

At this time, apart from him, there were Secret Puppet Qonas and Secret Puppet Eniyuni in the room.
