Mystery: Starting with the Night Pope.

Chapter 358 Return to Backlund

"In that case..." Mr. Moon hesitated for a moment before saying, "Recently, many members of my vampire clan from other cities have also moved to Backlund."

"Many vampires even claim to have received revelation from the progenitor, but in my opinion, that's absolutely false," Mr. Moon judged.

"Recently, the nobles seem to be holding banquets more frequently," "Justice" said, raising his hand. "Some nobles who haven't been back to Backlund for a long time have returned home and are being warmly welcomed by the royal family."

Nobles are among the classes that have the easiest access to extraordinary individuals.

"..." The group exchanged glances, all realizing that something was unusual.

"Backlund has become a powder keg? It could explode at the slightest touch?" Klein quipped, "That's too dangerous."

However, it's probably not Backlund that will explode; it's the people who will.

It's too dangerous... If his family weren't already in Backlund, Klein wouldn't want to go back.

The "Tarot Meeting" soon came to an end, and Klein returned to reality, going back to the headquarters of the Rose School.

"Miss Sharon?" Klein suddenly felt a spiritual awakening and saw Miss Sharon reflected in the windowpane.

"Is there a result regarding the matter I asked you to investigate?" Klein's eyes lit up as he suddenly thought of something.

"Yes." Miss Sharon nodded slightly.

"Please speak." Klein immediately sat up straight, looking at Miss Sharon.

Miss Sharon stepped out of the glass and sat in the high-backed chair opposite Klein.

She is now also wearing a black, elaborate long dress, but unlike before, the dress has several gold patterns, exuding nobility.

She is no longer that wandering "vengeful spirit." Now, her status in the Rose School is truly like that of the Empire's only princess.

"That angel's name was Zarathustra."

Miss Sharon's first words made Klein's heart skip a beat.

"It's the Zarathustra you're thinking of," Miss Sharon added.

Klein was naturally thinking of the head of the Zarathustra family.

That person was not unfamiliar to me; there were many mentions of Him in Russell's diary.

What Klein was even more concerned about was that the Zarathustra family was the first to start searching for keywords like "Gray Fog" and "Fool".

"My teacher told me that He is a Sequence Two Angel of the 'Diviner' pathway, the 'Miracleist'," Sharon continued, unaware of the turmoil in Klein's heart.

"The reason He came to the Southern Continent and became involved in the war is to find followers of 'The Fool'," Miss Sharon said, looking at Klein.

"That's right, that's me." Klein sighed slightly and nodded to Miss Sharon. This disguise was no longer going to be kept.

Fortunately, Zarathustra probably doesn't yet realize that he is Mr. Fool...

"Okay, I will tell the teacher, and the teacher will probably invite Mr. Zarathustra to stay at our headquarters for about a week."

Miss Sharon thought for a moment and gave Klein a promise.

"Thank you very much!" Klein said sincerely.

"But you'll still be in danger a week from now," Miss Sharon said, adding that the Rose School couldn't keep Zarathustra here indefinitely.

An angel of the "diviner" path was too strange and cunning; if it weren't for the lingering power of the "bound god," they wouldn't have lasted even a week.

Even now, they cannot be sure whether the Zarathustra who was staying obediently in the guest room was a puppet or a historical projection.

"I will return to Backlund." Klein suddenly felt that Backlund, or rather the capital of Solomon, was probably one of the few cities he could go to. Apart from that, it was probably the location of various church sanctuaries.

In large cities or sanctuaries, angels who cause destruction would be punished by God.

"Okay." Miss Sharon couldn't give a better answer either.

Klein saw Miss Sharon off, but soon his inspiration struck, and he looked at the same piece of glass.

So, it's no wonder they're teacher and student; they both like the same way of making an entrance.

However, Klein soon noticed the difference: the messenger was incomplete!

After the "Bound God" ascended to godhood, the Messenger had already been given divine gifts by the "Bound God" and the "Supreme Dream," and her body had been reshaped. However, the one in front of her was no different from when she first met him, with his four heads still held in his hands.

"Miss Messenger?" Klein asked tentatively.

"It's me... Do you need... to go back...? It only costs... one thousand gold coins..." the messenger's four heads said.

"You are now..." Klein didn't answer immediately, somewhat curious about the messenger's current situation.

"I tried... to... create... another... version of myself..."

So you created such a clone?

Klein's mouth gaped slightly as he understood.

"So is our contract still valid?" Klein asked in surprise.

"That is... the contract witnessed by 'Supreme Dream'..." the messenger said.

"Thank you!" Klein said solemnly, which was, of course, a response to the messenger's initial question.

"Get ready... gold coins... when you leave... summon me..." The messenger stepped into the spirit world.

"I'm probably the only one who has an angel as my driver, bodyguard, and messenger..." Klein joked to himself.

However, without Miss Messenger, Klein would probably have had to ask the Church of the Night for help this time, otherwise he really wouldn't dare to return to Backlund alone.

As for Leonard, let him fend for himself. To be honest, going back with Klein might be even more dangerous...

Klein quickly packed his belongings, wrote a letter to Cattleya, Leonard, and others explaining the situation, and then summoned the messenger to perform a spirit jump.

Almost the instant Klein stepped into the spirit world, Zarathustra, who was also at the headquarters of the Rose School, had a corresponding feeling and performed a divination.

"My pursuit will be dangerous..."

The gold pocket watch deflected quite sharply!

Zarathustra's eyelids twitched, and he suppressed his urge to ambush them midway.

"However... I won't let you escape from the 'Fool's' followers whom I finally found."

Zarathustra's room fell silent once more.

Klein and the messenger, who were already prepared for an attack, were surprised to find that the journey was eerily peaceful, and they arrived directly at Truman Estate on the outskirts of Backlund.

"Don't worry, no one's chasing us," Truman said with a smile, looking at Klein, who appeared cautious and still shaken.

Miss Messenger nodded gently to Truman and returned to the Spirit Realm.

"Bishop Truman." Klein realized he was truly safe when he saw Truman.

"Come with me." Truman led Klein to the study.

"So, do you have any questions for me?" Truman looked at Klein with a leisurely air.
