Mystery: The High-Dimensional Overlooker

And when Klein returned to Backlund and prepared to give Miss Magic a certain reward, Miss Magic declined Mr. World's reward. Klein could probably guess the reason. After all, in the past few days, Miss Magician had gained weight around her waist.

Klein also found an excuse and used the ability of the "Faceless Man" to slightly adjust the appearance of his Tracy doll, disguising the doll as Dwayne Dantes' personal maid.

Klein himself has been hiding behind the scenes, controlling several marionettes and staging a marionette show.

With such daily time spent on acting, plus the fact that he would go out to hunt pirates from time to time and actively act to cause panic to certain criminals, Klein estimated that he would be able to fully digest the magic potion of the "Cunning Mage". Within these three months.

At that time, he could try to be promoted to "Ancient Scholar" to give himself a little more insurance when investigating the behavior of George III.

At that time, when Klein thought about how he could pull out the historical projections of the "True Creator", "Night Goddess", "Azik", "Roselle" and "High-Dimensional Overlooker", Klein couldn't help but feel a little... A little excitement.

According to the result of his prayer to the Night Goddess, he now knows that the goddess has contacted Russell who was rescued by Gao Wei, and Russell has also found out about Klein, a fellow countryman, and said that if there is a chance in the future, he can go to Intis. Meet.

"Extra, Extra! The number of admirals at sea has decreased again! 'Admiral of Disease' Tracy, who had the greatest potential to become king, was killed by 'King of Aurora' Gehrman Sparrow!"

"Shocked! Is this an internal conflict between pirates or a love-hate relationship between two pirates?!"

Klein's brows raised slightly when he heard the newsboy's cries in the distance. He didn't expect that the news of Tracy's killing would reach Backlund so quickly.

Richardson, who was next to him, noticed his master's eyes and quickly started to buy a newspaper from a servant next to him. Tracy Marionette next to Klein took the newspaper handed by the servant and handed it to Klein respectfully.

Klein sighed silently in his heart as he flipped open the newspaper.

Well, I still have some strange experiences serving myself... It's almost like I'm controlling myself to perform a play on stage. The director is me, the actor is me, and the scariest thing is that the audience may also be me...

This is worthy of the name of a "one-man show". Sure enough, the Extraordinary of the "Fool" path is still suitable for acting alone, because for a high-sequence "divineer", one person is an army!

I can’t even imagine what strange scenes those higher-order Beyonders could create when they could control an exaggerated number of marionettes?

Perhaps, a country formed entirely by marionettes?

Klein thought for a moment and suddenly felt a little creepy. This kind of scene seems to be the same as there is an audience watching you behind your back at any time, treating your every move as his script; it is also like when you enter a place by mistake, only to find the pedestrians and residents here They are all "dolls" controlled by others.

He seemed to realize in an instant why the god at the top of his path was so hated that it aroused the hatred of the gods in the sky.

Well, I have to remember that I am just playing the role of a "cunning mage" who brings fear to others, but I am not a "cunning mage" myself. If I forget this, I will most likely turn everyone around me into unconscious marionettes when I wake up. That would be terrible...

After becoming a demigod, my urge to turn the people around me into Marionettes will basically pop up in my heart after a while...

Klein unfolded the newspaper in his hand and read the headlines. In addition to the newspaper boy just selling newspapers, there was also a long paragraph of Loen words written under the title.

"The remnants of its troops were discovered within the maritime territory of the Loen Empire and were completely wiped out by our navy yesterday!"

There was also a short paragraph written below: "Praise His Majesty the Emperor. His Majesty the Emperor will exhibit the navy's spoils in Backlund in seven days."

This, is this preparation for war? I remember I killed them very cleanly. How could there be any remaining pirates? Klein was stunned for a moment and thought of many possibilities. He immediately raised his head, looked at the team that had stopped just now because he was reading the newspaper, and showed a smile:

"Ha, the strength of the empire is getting stronger and stronger. At this time, we only need to praise His Majesty the Emperor."

Hearing Klein's voice, the surrounding servants responded one after another. But Klein's people didn't react much. They just smiled and were thinking about other things.

Perhaps George III put these things on the table to make the people think that they have a strong national power and a huge improvement in military strength. Perhaps this idea can react on the gods and gain strength from the war. The "Red Priest" himself is more powerful?

But if Gao Wei supports George III, then why does he want to control the Intis Empire now? So which country can the Loen Empire go to war with now?

Gao Wei, I can't see through your real thoughts at all... Klein was thinking as he asked Butler Walter beside him:

"Walter, what activities do I have today? How many classes do I have?"

"Mr. Dantès, today is Sunday. You can spend most of your time freely. But please note that there is a dinner party at a congressman's house tonight that you need to attend. Mr. Asnia is responsible for this." Tell you."

Walter spoke respectfully to Dwayne Dantès in front of him. The butler, Asnia, picked up on Walter's words and told Klein about tonight's arrangements. Klein nodded repeatedly, patiently listening to Asnia finish his explanation before gently saying, "What are you doing?"

"I understand, please tell that congressman that I will participate."

Klein smiled gently and boarded the carriage.

……

At night, Audrey sat at her desk. She flipped up her wet hair and looked attentively at the letters in front of her and the information piled on Audrey's shoulders. After a long time, Audrey exhaled, with a slightly thoughtful look on her face.

The light was projected from the side, illuminating Audrey's side face. Audrey was writing and drawing on the table, seeming to be inferring something based on the information in these materials.

Not long after, a door opened next to Audrey. Forsi walked out of it with an obvious look of exhaustion on his face.

Audrey quickly stood up and asked her friend:

"Fors, you're back? How's the investigation going? Any results?"

"It's still the same as what Xio investigated before. There are a considerable number of demons and witches among Backlund. In the past few days, there has even been a rumor. Many mercenaries and adventurers claimed that they saw witches in their dreams. , and had some... um, soul communication with them."

Forsi yawned, shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly to Audrey:

"Perhaps just as we thought, the last thing we wanted to see happened. The demons chose Backlund as their next gathering place. They don't know what they are going to do here."

"Whether the emperor personally introduced these demons to Backlund, or these demons wanted to do something to Backlund and came here on their own initiative, it is not good news for us."

"Also, as far as I know, witches who haven't consumed Beyonder characteristics from adjacent pathways don't have the ability to 'enter dreams.' It's hard to say whether those adventurers' claims are just for bragging or if they've truly encountered something foul in their dreams."

Dreams are also part of the spiritual world, and Forsi was given the gift of the High-dimensional Overlooker. He learned a lot of knowledge about the creatures in the spiritual world while having fun and teaching him, and even recited a complete book. An illustrated guide to spiritual creatures.

"Perhaps..." Audrey's lips twitched as she responded to a possible guess proposed by Forsi:

"Forsi, is it possible that these demons gathered here because they were looking for something in Backlund?"

"You're right, it's not impossible. This reminds me of a rumor I once heard."

Forsi's expression lit up, and she added to Audrey in front of her:

"I have heard before that before the destruction of old Backlund, there were traces of devil worship among some nobles. There were even rumors that a noble with a contaminated brain tried to form a ritual to summon the abyss to come to the earth ( Note 1)."

After hearing the news, Audrey rubbed her temples and took a deep breath: "This is indeed not good news."

"That's right." Forsi also said in a low tone: "For Mr. Fool who is willing to protect Backlund, no matter whether these demons are in the same position as the emperor or not, they will definitely be Mr. Fool." enemy."

"...We need to share a certain amount of sorrow for Mr. Fool." Audrey thought for a moment and said with determination. While she took out a towel from the side and wiped her hair clean carefully, she proposed an idea to Forsi:

"At the Tarot Club tomorrow afternoon, we must tell Mr. World about this matter and ask everyone in the Tarot Club if they have any other guesses. By then, Mr. Fool may also participate in the Tarot Club. in our discussions so that we don’t have to worry too much about what may happen next.”

Audrey thought about it and said slowly: "Even some members of the Tarot Society who did not participate in our operation can provide us with some inspiration, for example, Mr. 'The Hanged Man', 'The Sun' Sir, etc. They also know the secrets of many different eras or places."

"At the same time, I will officially join the ranks of the Nighthawks of the Church of the Night tomorrow morning. The person responsible for negotiating with me is a former member of the Red Gloves, who is now responsible for investigating various extraordinary events in Backlund. .”

Audrey added:

"He also seems to be investigating matters related to George III. Many vicious and extraordinary cases have occurred recently, and the church's Nighthawks have also had to deal with quite a lot of things recently. Well... at least based on my experience these past few days. See, that’s it. Although, I haven’t officially joined them yet.”

Audrey will not officially meet her team members until tomorrow, Monday. Different from Tingen's team, this Nighthawks team formed by former "Red Gloves" members specializes in investigating the recent extraordinary events in Backlund, and their apparent identities are all clergy of the Church of the Night.

"Are there more extraordinary events?... Well, I always feel like Backlund is like that, a grand stage that holds all the forces together. It would definitely be the center of the stage in any book, and it's the kind of thing the author would emphasize and repeatedly describe."

After listening to Audrey's words, Forsi couldn't help but speak based on his experience as a writer. Audrey was stunned for a moment after listening to Forsi's description, and then smiled:

"That's a really good description, and I find it surprisingly fitting. With a Beyonder somewhere between a True God and the Angel King, this place will inevitably become the center of the stage due to the aggregation of Beyonder pathways. Other Beyonders with various connections to George III will naturally be drawn to Backlund by Him."

"...I don't know why, but I always feel that this is a setting that is very suitable for promoting the development of the script. This setting can explain many coincidences in the script. It's a pity that I can't borrow this to write a new one, otherwise I might be invited to have tea by the church..." Fors muttered softly and said to Audrey:

"Then, I'll wait until tomorrow morning and come back to you. Xio also went to investigate the demon today, and I don't know if she got any new results. Yawn... I should go back."

"Okay, please, Forsi." Audrey stood up. He placed a rather heavy box next to him into Forsi's hands.

"I asked my chef to keep part of the meal. Forsi, you haven't had dinner yet. Take it back and tell Xio that it was a little thought of mine."

"This..." Fors was stunned for a moment, and a smile subconsciously appeared on her face.

"How can this be so embarrassing..."

"And if this happens, um...I, I will gain weight..."

Note 1: Gao Wei: Are you thinking about me?

Chapter 345 Gao Wei, why did the devil come here that day?

On an invisible island by the sea, a dark shadow crawled towards the seaside with a terrifying momentum. A girl seemed to appear in the center of the shadow, singing a song in words that no one could understand, and turned into a shadow and merged into the sea.

The Fallen Mother Goddess looked at the ocean in the distance, and the sticky black tentacles around her merged into the shape of a ship; she stood in the center, waving her thousands of tentacles and slowly sailed towards the Rhoside Islands.

At the same time, Alger moored his ancient ghost ship, the "Blue Avenger," in his private harbor and walked outside with a solemn expression. His expression was filled with an unconcealable irritation, but his movements were remarkably calm.

He would wait a day until Tuesday before heading to the Rhoside Islands to formally contact Ms. Priestess, and then explore the primitive island he had discovered with Qilingos before.

Under the notarization of Mr. Fool, he was not afraid that the "Priestess", who already possessed the power of a demigod, would take away the blasphemous card of the "Storm" path on the original island. He only needed to know the potion formula contained therein, which was enough.

However, Alger really didn't dare to show himself in front of others when he was participating in the Tarot Club and completely defenseless.

"Tarot Society..."

Alger took a deep breath and walked forward firmly.

……

As a cloud of gray mist rose before everyone, Alger saw Mr. Fool sitting on the throne, as deep and indifferent as ever. This filled Alger with immense envy, and he longed to gain even greater strength.

This is the power of the gods! One day... Alger clenched his fists and thought silently in his heart.

For the next period of time, Alger believed that after obtaining the extraordinary item, he would have a long period of strength enhancement. When that time came, he would not have to worry about his subsequent formulas and could try to exchange the extraordinary properties he needed through Mr. Fool and Mr. White Tower.

But this also requires a considerable amount of resources... Poverty is following me like a shadow, and I will not be able to escape this terrible curse for a long time...

but! Now the only thing that can block me from becoming an angel is my own progress in digesting potions. I may no longer apply for potions from the Church of Storms...

However, I still need to maintain some disguise. After this exploration of the primitive island, I can no longer use the excuse of being on a mission to delay my return to Backlund.

Moreover, the newly appointed archbishop of Backlund has been involved with the Loen Empire for a long time. I don’t know what kind of attitude he will have towards “heretics” like me who may believe in other gods...

Alger took a deep breath and waited quietly for the Tarot session to begin.

After the opening of the Tarot Club, he saw "The World", who had always been silent, looking at the people in front of him and showing them a gloomy smile:

"Dear Mr. Fool. A few days ago, I killed the pirate general at sea, 'Admiral Disease' Tracy, and made her into my marionette."

After saying this to Mr. Fool, Klein nodded to himself. Following his previous habit of controlling multiple puppets for puppet shows, he once again engaged in a soliloquy with the "world" dummy before him:

"well done."

Is this Mr. "Fool"'s beloved reporting a mission to Mr. "Fool"? This is the first time I have seen this. Why did "The World" suddenly publicly report its mission to Mr. "The Fool" in a Tarot meeting?

"The Hanged Man" Alger has not yet thought about the fact that "Sick Girl", a powerful pirate general, has been killed by "The World". Instead, he focuses his current thoughts on Mr. "Fool" What exactly is the meaning of action?

He couldn't help but think in his mind:

Perhaps Mr. "Fool" hopes to penetrate more of his power into reality, and does his current behavior imply that we can also become his favored ones?

Mr. “Fool”’s willingness to set up a gathering before God is already His mercy to us; so what do we have to do next? Do we have to serve Mr. Fool devoutly like the extraordinary people in the Orthodox Church in order to gain the favor of Mr. Fool?
