Mystery: Time Travelers of the Fourth Era

Chapter 476 Deceiving the Mentor

Old Huang, so you're not dead after all.

Looking at the real and authentic Emperor Roselle in front of him, Klein almost thought that this was some kind of contingency plan or resurrection by Roselle.

However, after waiting for a while, he found that the projection did not move, and he seemed to be able to maintain a connection with it. Klein's mood relaxed, and the more direct thing was naturally... the Spirit Thread.

With almost no one to teach him, Klein tried to manipulate the projection himself using the Spirit Threads. As the master of the Spirit Threads, he could feel that this was different from when he controlled the Blood General.

This power... He flicked his finger. "Tyrant" Rosell raised his hand, and the space not far away was suddenly engulfed by a storm of lightning. Although his spiritual energy was somewhat depleted, this intensity was definitely at the level of a demigod. He could even feel the aura of divinity.

It's stable...

October 6th, Thursday.

To prepare in advance, Klein commissioned Arrodes to create an environment to impersonate him. He trusted Arrodes's professional skills and believed he could make the illusion convincing. To make it seem plausible, he also invited some women to his villa for a ball.

Such a disguise is perfectly in line with his identity.

Then came news from the Hermit: Bernadette had agreed to meet with him.

The time was 11 p.m., and the location was the south bank of the Tasoq River, at the bridge entrance.

Klein was surprised to find Bernadette in Backlund, but he didn't think much of it. For the Mysterious Queen, teleportation was probably not such a rare and extraordinary ability. Even if the Hermit Path itself lacked this ability, the Emperor couldn't have left the Mysterious Queen with a similar little toy.

It's worth noting that one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse was named Abraham.

Nighttime, at the bridgehead.

Klein (German) arrived here and saw no one. He looked around until vines fell from the sky. He paused for a few seconds but still didn't see Bernadette. So he tried to climb up. After some time, he finally saw the high platform in the air and the mysterious queen sitting there.

Aside from not wearing a pirate hat, she was dressed as a typical pirate queen, with a thin rapier at her waist—she looked really cool. Her chestnut hair was naturally draped over her shoulders, and her eyes were relatively gentle: "Long time no see. What brings you here this time?"

"I would like to ask for your help to make my puppet appear to be in a state of long-term erosion by the core power sealed behind the Gate of the Church of the Night."

Klein withdrew his gaze, stated his demands, and incidentally released General Blood.

"no problem."

"An invasion of darkness?"

Bernadette nodded to Klein and smiled as she did him the small favor.

Hmm... it's like dealing with your good-for-nothing nephew.

With a wave of her hand, she directly simulated the power of the Night Path. It did not affect Klein beside her, but it made the puppet appear cold and eerie, making it look more like a dead person with an extremely pale face.

Thank you for your help.

Klein bowed, intending to ask about the reward, but there was no one in front of him. The vines quickly disappeared, and he returned to the bridge. Didn't he need a reward?

no way...

Klein could only go back and wait for the official operation the following night.

Meanwhile, at Chael's residence, Bernadette arrived uninvited.

"Please respect the secular identity that I have been trying to maintain."

It's outrageous that so many different aliases can't distinguish between work and personal life.

"I'll say this to Bernadette, who is already sitting by the window with a rather elegant posture."

"That's not important. You're planning to let him steal the Antigonus family notes again?"

Bernadette's tone was slightly puzzled.

"He asked you for help?"

Even though Xia Er already knew, she still confirmed it.

"Um."

Bernadette's lips curved slightly, as if she were smiling.

"So, if he thought of asking you for help, wouldn't he have asked if you had any potion recipes for sorcerers?"

Shael was truly speechless. Since Roselle had stolen Antigonus's Diary, he must have read it himself before giving it to little Zarathustra. Since he knew that the Emperor had most of the potion recipes, why didn't he ask the Emperor's most beloved daughter if she had inherited this knowledge?

Klein can't just selectively forget about Bernadette just because Arrodes didn't mention her as an option.

"He is not close to me."

Bernadette smiled. She had been prepared to give Klein a side quest, and if he accepted it, she would give him the potion recipe for free, just to go through the motions. But she didn't expect that Klein would need her help, and instead of accepting a quest, he would ask her for a buff.

So, you just watched him break into St. Samuel's Cathedral?

Bernadette looked at Chael with suspicion, wondering what would happen if little Zarathustra was released.

"It's alright, he'll have to go through more things eventually, and who knows, little Zarathustra might remember this favor."

Shael will not add to Mr. Fool's initiative.

the next day.

Chael was invited out by Hazel to Macht's house, where he listened to Flora's long-winded speech.

Although this one is somewhat arrogant, he is ultimately Jacob's son. Being self-centered is not a problem; it's better for a thief to have a distinct personality.

"You want to put on this act?"

Xia Er just thought it was a joke to amuse the children.

"It's also because it's necessary for my role."

"Heyr, standing before me, made a very sincere request."

Wasn't this the same ritual you had to complete to deceive your mentor before advancing to Sequence Three?

"Your script is very rough."

Xia Er really didn't think that Klein would take it seriously.

"Don't worry, trust my judgment. If you help me this once, I won't let you down."

"You wouldn't want Mr. Dawn Dantes keeping a watchful eye on the Church of the Night all this time, would you?"

Flora Jacob winked, though she was still using Hazel's body.

"Do whatever you want."

Xia Er didn't care anymore; she could play if she wanted, just to pass the time.

"Let's go then."

Flora took Chael's arm, and the two walked toward St. Samuel's Cathedral.

Mr. Dawn Dantes, who lives on the same street, noticed this scene and his alarm bells went off.

If I remember correctly, the Sequence Three advancement ceremony for deceiving one's mentor involves finding and exploiting loopholes in the rules without using violence, causing the order of a region to temporarily collapse. This leads to many branches and has many requirements, such as forming a projection in the spirit world and the area being no smaller than a village.

At its core, it was a fraud.

Everything else is meaningless.
