Chapter 14 Small Town Encounter

On a steam train heading for Conston City, Midland County.

Klein, dressed as a wandering magician, looked at the young man and his parents across from a narrow table where items were placed:

"I have two kinds of magic, one is to make your wishes come true, and the other is to use a mirror to answer your questions. Of course, the first kind of magic requires payment, and the second kind of magic has to answer the questions asked by the mirror. Do you want to What kind of show are you watching?"

The young man with black hair and brown eyes seemed to have received a relatively good education. He looked at his parents sitting next to him and said with a smile:

"My wish is too difficult, so I won't bother you anymore.

"I'm more curious about mirrors that can answer questions, relatively speaking."

Klein sighed and shook his head. He flipped his left hand, revealing a silver mirror with a black gem on each side that could be put into the sleeve.

"It seems to be an antique." The young man opposite commented with interest, and then said, "My question is, what is the purpose of my visit to Conston City this time?"

Klein had the kind of smile common to street magicians on his face, stretched out his right hand to touch the surface of the mirror, and whispered quite seriously:

"Mirror Mirror tells me what the answer to the question is."

After three times in a row, he released his right hand and showed the surface of the mirror to the three passengers on the opposite side.

There are a few more silver words on it:

"Go get married."

"...It's amazing." The young man and his parents looked at each other with incredible expressions.

When they boarded the train, they never brought up wedding-related topics or displayed items that were reminiscent of them.

This is the first time they have seen this kind of magic that does not rely on props and fake audiences.

"Okay, it's time for the mirror to ask questions." Klein smiled and covered the surface of the mirror with his right hand.

"Okay." The young man responded curiously.

"Next, let's see what questions the magic mirror will ask." Klein exaggeratedly released his right hand as if he was doing a formal magic show.

The silver words on the surface of the mirror have changed and stretched into a complete sentence:

"You prefer your bride to be a woman over forty, right?"

The young man's expression froze for a while, then turned pale, and then completely red.

"How is that possible!" He immediately retorted, and couldn't help but look sideways at his parents, and complained hurriedly, "What a strange question!"

"...It's a joke." Klein smiled apologetically, and quickly pressed his right hand to the surface of the mirror, as if he didn't know this would happen.

Immediately afterwards, he released his right hand again.

Sure enough, the text on the surface of the mirror changed again:

"How old are you?"

"Twenty-five years old..." the young man replied cautiously, as if afraid of falling into a trap.

He felt that the eyes of his parents and the passengers around him had changed.

"Okay, this magic show ends here." Klein smiled and put away the mirror, "You can try another kind of magic."

As soon as he finished speaking, the steam train whistled, which was a sign that it was about to enter the station.

"Sorry, it's time for me to get out of the car." Klein took out his gold-shell pocket watch, opened it and glanced at it.

He immediately picked up his luggage, followed the crowd of some passengers, left the steam train, and came to the platform where the gas street lights had not yet turned on.

This is the city of Beldan in Jianhai County, a city that has risen and fallen because of coal mines.

For Klein, the biggest significance here is that it was an important node in the Feysac invasion route in the previous world war.

- Feysac has a total of three invasion routes, one is to attack the Amanda Mountains on the border, trying to break through the land defense line there, one is to start from Sunia Island, attack the coastal port, and try to land, and the other is Yu Jian Start with Hai, and invade Backlund along the main railway.

Among them, due to the existence of the Church of the Storms and the power of the ironclads to cooperate with the high-ranking "arbiters", the navies of Feysac and Fenepot have never been able to achieve the predetermined results, and even failed to control the sea dominance, and the Amanda Mountains battlefield, The headquarters of the Church of Evernight blocked waves of attacks until the end of the war.

Among the three routes, the only one that succeeded was the Jianhai troops. They combined land and water to capture the second largest city in Loen, the capital of Jianhai County, Conston City. The Tees meet.

Klein plays the role of a wandering magician. On the one hand, he wants to accumulate wishes, perform miracles, digest potions, and improve his strength. On the other hand, he intends to go back to the road of war and use his own eyes, his ears, and his heart to truly see trauma from previous wars.

After knowing the secrets of the starry sky and the underground, he can understand the plan of the "Goddess of the Night" and accept it to a certain extent, but this does not mean that he will be indifferent to those sacrifices.

At the same time, he also confirmed one thing, that is, even if he fails to prevent George III from becoming the "Dark Emperor", the world war will still break out, but Loen will have the upper hand, and the "Goddess of the Night" and his allies will be oppressed head-on. "God of War" forced him step by step to seek the help of "Mother Earth".

At that time, the number, intensity and scale of the battle of gods will surpass the current one.

For this reason, Klein would wander along the Feysac invasion route one stop at a time.

After exiting the platform where traces of cannon fodder remained, he carried an old suitcase containing a change of clothes, identified the direction, and walked towards what might be a hotel.

At night, he would wander the streets of the city and perform wish magic for people.

After walking a few steps forward, Klein was inspired and turned his attention to the end of the street.

There was a figure of a woman wearing a simple linen robe, tied with a bark belt, with long black hair and no shoes and socks.

Arianna!

The leader of the ascetic monks of the Church of the Evernight, the angel of the earth, Arianna!

How did He get to Beldan? At this time, shouldn't He have returned to the Night Monastery of Tranquility Church? Or was sent to St. Miron, the capital of Feysac, to preside over the reception of the "God of War Legacy"? It is definitely not easy for an angel walking on the ground to appear in such a small city... Klein was puzzled and frowned slightly.

He hesitated, and finally decided to ask one or two.

It's not that he wants to meddle in his own business, but that everyone is in the same city, and if something happens, no one can escape.

But at this time, Arianna had disappeared from the crowd, and as the "Secret Servant", Klein had no way to track him. Similarly, when it comes to "secret" matters, "Magic Mirror" Rhodes is also a little clueless.

Klein took a slow breath, turned thoughtfully into the hotel, opened a room, and put away his luggage.

Then, he kept the attire of a wandering magician, took the "magic mirror" Arrodes, followed the spiritual intuition of the "diver", and walked all the way to the municipal square in Beldan City.

Here next to the city hall, there is a sign with many notices posted on it.

Klein saw that many people were watching, and it seemed that a new official document was released, so he moved closer, stood at the periphery of the crowd, and looked at the log-colored sign.

In the center of the sign, a slightly yellowed white paper covered other signs, with black ink and Ruenwen writing on the surface:

"Ladies and gentlemen, I am your new consul.

"Now, I issue three new decrees:

"The first one, without my permission, no creature can leave here.

"Article 2, all living beings are equal before the law, even angels can be killed by ordinary people.

"Article 3, whoever commits the following crimes will be punished severely, up to the death penalty:

"1. to kill;

"2. Theft;

"3. Completely recite the honorable name of the deity;

"4. Sacrifice to evil gods;

"5. Fraud;

"6. Leakage of secrets;

"..."

Such an announcement... Klein raised his eyebrows, and he didn't need spiritual intuition to detect that there was something wrong with the content.

He instinctively turned his thoughts and tried to return the spiritual body to "Origin Castle".

However, an invisible force blocked his "leaving", so that he could only touch the gray mist but could not pass through.

This... Klein narrowed his eyes slightly, took a few steps back, and distanced himself from the crowd.

In his opinion, this level of anomaly has reached the point of being almost divine.

He has also been unable to return to "Origin Castle" before, but the main reason is that he was too late to take four steps backwards, recite mantras, or be interfered and blocked by "self".

In the real sense, there is only one time when he cannot escape from the real world with external force:

It was in the foggy town - there was a hidden world and a powerful seal created by the "Goddess of the Evernight".

Except this time, even Amon the Blasphemer didn't do anything similar. Of course, at that time, Amon's main purpose was to force Klein to activate "Origin Castle", and then seize the opportunity to use the loophole to replace He became the "great master above the spiritual world", otherwise this "angel of time" could completely prevent Klein from returning by stealing thoughts.

Who is this new "consul" in Beldan City... Is this the reason why Ms. Arianna came to Beldan City? Suddenly, Klein let the "magic mirror" slide down from his wide sleeve to his left hand.

"What happened?" Klein asked in a low voice.

On the surface of the silver mirror, the water and light swayed, and the slightly whitish silver words appeared:

"The rules here have been replaced, and it is impossible to know who did it, great master, you can try to find the 'Secret Servant' Arianna and learn the truth from him.

"Are you satisfied with my answer?"

The rules are replaced..."lawyers"? "arbitrator"? Or, is there a "Bug"? Klein raised his head thoughtfully, looked around, and found that the citizens in the square were a little puzzled.

The war is over!
