Secret: The Witch's House Traitor

Klein looked at this "just right" ceremony and inexplicably felt that it was arranged, but he had no choice.

dong dong!

There was a knock on the door.

Audrey came in. After she saw that Mr. World had not left, she closed the door and asked in a non-eager manner:

"What is Hvin Rambis's real purpose?"

She only knew that Hvin Rambis was replaced by Lino, but she didn't know why he hypnotized her.

"There are two purposes. One is to investigate whether there is someone behind Xio and Fors' actions. The other is to use hints to prevent you from becoming an obstacle as the princes show their closeness to Earl Hall's family. This is essentially a division of the three major churches."

The royal family that was close to the Church of Storm began to be close to the Church of Night? Was this a way to achieve a split effect?

"Then why would the demigod Hvin Rambis come to see me personally?"

Audrey was a little confused. Although she had angels and demigods among her friends, it was impossible for a demigod to deal with her personally?

"Because a Sequence 5 can no longer hypnotize you without making any noise while hiding it from the guards assigned by Earl Hall."

"The best outcome would be for the demigod to come forward."

Klein smiled. He was not stupid and knew what Audrey wanted to hear.

Even if we don't count the Tarot Club, am I so powerful that I need a demigod to take action personally?

Audrey had mixed emotions, half laughing and half sighing, but only a year had passed.

"You are more powerful than I thought. You actually hypnotized a demigod."

Klein praised.

Audrey did not respond. She felt somewhat guilty. Without Ms. Jacob's help, she had no chance to use the talisman in her pocket.

"I have digested my hypnotist potion, and I have also exchanged the formula for the dream walker potion from Mr. Arrogant."

Audrey was very happy. As long as she could obtain the Beyonder characteristics of Sequence 5, she would soon be able to become Sequence 5.

Hypnotizing a demigod. How come I didn’t have the chance to transform a demigod puppet when I was at Sequence 5?

Klein sighed. He didn't expect to have this opportunity.

What he didn't know was that he really had a chance, but he wasn't working hard enough, nor was he willing to lie down and relax. He could neither afford the demigod doll in Lin Nuo's hand, nor did he need to rent the demigod doll in Lin Nuo's hand to speed up digestion. Lin Nuo had assessed Klein's financial situation and didn't mention this matter to him.

“That’s a good thing, especially in the current situation.”

"How are the preparations for the potion materials and the promotion ceremony going?"

Klein asked casually, to see if he could be of any help.

"Mr. Lover can help me get the corresponding potion materials from the Psychological Alchemy Association."

"He said that the Psychological Alchemy Society still has some in stock, so they can apply for it for me first. However, in addition to paying for the potion materials, I also need to pay another fee to compensate the gentleman or lady who was cut in line by me."

Audrey thought for a moment and said that she felt this made sense.

Klein was stunned. Compensation for cutting in line? There's no such thing in secret organizations, right?

Chapter 497 Malice? Why point it at me?

"Mr. Lover said that although he could help me apply for the potion materials for the Dream Walker promotion in advance, I still have to pay compensation to the Psychological Alchemist whose promotion quota I took away. Since Sequence 5 is not a qualitative change and the materials are relatively abundant, I only need to pay 500 pounds."

Audrey explained that she didn't see a problem with spending an extra sum of money.

In fact, she wanted to offer 1000 pounds, but Mr. Lover did not agree, because the Psychological Alchemy Society still had stock of Sequence 5 potion materials, but it would take some time to wait. Audrey was equivalent to spending more money to get the opportunity for promotion in advance, and now he was willing to give compensation, which was very conscientious.

"Mr. Lover, he actually wanted to be a good judge of the Psychological Alchemy Society."

Klein sighed. He thought Lin Nuo chose to use the identity of the Psychological Alchemy Society just to facilitate supervision of the royal family. He didn't expect that he would also be interested in managing the specific affairs of the Psychological Alchemy Society.

"I applied to Mr. Lover for one set of Sequence 5 potion materials and one set of Sequence 6 potion materials. Together with the temporary advance compensation, I need to pay 13000 pounds to the Psychological Alchemy Association. Mr. Lover did not give me any discount at all."

Audrey smiled and made a joke.

In fact, she had not thought about getting some discounts through their relationship. Miss Audrey never bargained for the price when she bought things. The total amount was 14000 pounds, which seemed like a lot, but she had not had any big expenses in the previous few months, and the remaining cash alone was nearly pounds, which could be met by just pooling together.

Moreover, after Audrey discovered that Lin Nuo really treated the Psychological Alchemy Association of the Backlund region as his own power, she still supported Lin Nuo's doing so. If the Psychological Alchemy Association of the Backlund region became their power, Audrey felt that she would have a greater sense of participation, which was different from the sense of participation of the Tarot Club.

Mr. Lover's clone is Sequence 4 of the audience path. I will soon become Sequence 5, and Susie will soon become Sequence 6. Audrey was a little excited. It felt great to secretly control the power of the Psychological Alchemy Society in the Loen area.

Madam Norma, who had recommended her to join the Psychological Alchemy Society, would never have thought that she was now almost the second most important person in the Psychological Alchemy Society in Backlund.

Click!

Hearing the figure of 14000 pounds, Klein felt like his heart was about to break. That was originally his money. As long as he successfully hunted Hvin Rambis, he could naturally sell the Beyonder characteristics to Miss Justice. Why was his prey taken away by Ms. Jacob before Audrey even sent a signal?

Klein's heart was bleeding. He looked at Miss Justice, who was smiling and seemed to be thinking about how to build her own Psychological Alchemy Society. He was a little depressed and wanted to tell her that if the original plan was followed, "I can still sell you the audience channel sequence 4 potion formula and extraordinary materials. Although you can't participate in the affairs of the Psychological Alchemy Society, you can buy the demigod characteristics of sequence 4."

Klein has now discovered that Lin Nuo is a major obstacle to his wealth.

The same goes for the demigod of the Jacob family. You worked hard to kill Hvin Rambis, but you only took one magical item from him. You simply gave up the demigod characteristics that Hvin Rambis had extracted. Shouldn't this be your trophy?

Klein could see that Flora Jacob really had no complaints. She was a little surprised when she learned that Lin Nuo needed that extraordinary characteristic, but she gave up directly without any hesitation. However, Klein ruled out the possibility that Lin Nuo had instructed Flora Jacob in advance to wait and grab the order, and that he was a step late might really be an accident.

Was it really an accident?

Klein thought again of Lin Nuo's failure to attend the combat meeting to hunt down Hvin Rambis.

Was he just unlucky, or was it coincidence that he was a step late? Or had Hvin Rambis been targeted for a long time, and it was never his turn to hunt him?

Alas... He suddenly had an inexplicable sense of déjà vu that he was being taken advantage of by the platform. In the past, he was the one who took advantage of the Tarot Club platform to make money, but now he couldn't even get an order.

Lin Nuo has been helping him all the time, but why does he feel that the more Lin Nuo helps him, the poorer he becomes?

"Ahem, Miss Justice, I also have the formula for the Manipulator potion, and the price is negotiable. Whatever price you paid at the Psychological Alchemy Club, mine is definitely cheaper than that. If Mr. Lover gives it to you for free, then just pretend I didn't say anything."

Klein coughed lightly and spoke shamelessly, relying on the Faceless Man's ability to control his facial features.

Although he felt a little embarrassed, it was not much. He was fleecing two big households, "lover" and "justice". If he still hesitated, wouldn't that be a betrayal of his own class?

"Mr. Lover didn't mean to give it to me for free, and I would rather exchange it by accumulating contributions."

"Hmm... Can the contribution of the Tarot Club be exchanged for the corresponding potion formula?"

Audrey thought for a moment and said that she felt that accumulating contributions from the Tarot Club was easier than accumulating contributions from the Psychological Alchemy Club.

Most of the tasks of the Psychological Alchemy Society now are related to hypnotizing other new party nobles, or traveling to other areas. Audrey doesn't really want to do these tasks, and if possible, she also wants to exchange the main ingredients of Sequence 4 potions through the Psychological Alchemy Society. It is good to separate the channels for obtaining the formulas and materials corresponding to demigods.

"Okay, don't worry. As you digest the Dream Walker, I will slowly think about what I need. From time to time, I will ask you to do something and collect some supplies, and try to get you enough to exchange for its contribution as soon as possible."

Klein said in a rather kind tone.

He was now very grateful to Audrey for considering him, and also very grateful to Lin Nuo for not doing everything for free, otherwise he, the "Fool", would not be able to continue, and the Tarot Club could be disbanded.

"Mr. World, why would Psycho Alchemy help the king?"

Audrey took advantage of Klein's emotional ups and downs, hoping to ask more questions about the Psychological Alchemy Society.

She found it difficult to understand what Mr. Lover said about psychological alchemy requiring a stepping stone.

"What they need is a war that sweeps the entire world. This is the trend of the times that they are trying their best to promote and hope to see."

Klein did not hide anything, and gave his own opinion while answering.

"A war sweeping the whole world..." Audrey repeated in a low voice, her beautiful eyebrows slightly wrinkled, and her happy mood just now fell again.

In a trance, she thought of something and asked Klein:

"Mr. World, do you think that when war comes, will the nobles also go to the battlefield?"

How could a noble go to the battlefield? Klein was stunned. He thought the noble lady was a little scared, so he smiled and comforted her:

"Except for nobles like Admiral Amyrius who serve in the military, most nobles and parliamentarians do not need to go to the battlefield. No matter how fierce the war is, it will not affect Backlund, and it should not directly affect the Hall family."

Klein gave his own judgment. He thought Audrey might be worried about her second brother. Otherwise, with Earl Hall's status, the war would never affect them. If they were in danger, even the church would provide a certain amount of shelter. Moreover, this was Backlund. He didn't know how many high-sequence people were hidden in Backlund. There was no place in the whole of Loen that was more "safe" than here.

"Yeah, that's right. Nobles don't have to go to the battlefield."

"But I can imagine the cruelty of war and hope we can stop it."

After a brief silence, Audrey took a breath inconspicuously and tried to smile.

It was nothing at first, but with the comparison with the great nobles of the Fourth Era, Audrey couldn't help but start to feel that the nobles of Loen were not very noble and honorable. In the past, she might have felt that not having to go to the battlefield was a privilege of the nobles and a manifestation of their status.

Now she is a little unclear about what is considered a "noble". The situations are obviously similar. Their countries are both experiencing war. Why do the nobles in the Fourth Era and the Fifth Era behave differently? Shouldn't the nobles be more proactive in protecting their own countries?

Audrey obviously hasn't realized the most fundamental difference between the Fourth Era and the Fifth Era. In the Fourth Era, the royal family and the nobles shared the entire country. The royal family was the leader, and the nobles were also the masters of the country. To a certain extent, they were consistent and integrated, and they were all a group of the same class. They also needed an [anchor] and there would be some bottom line.

Now, these nobles of the Kingdom of Loen are nothing more than sheepdogs kept by the royal family and the church to guard the farms. As long as their masters don't kick them hard, they won't risk their lives to drive away the hungry wolves that have entered the farms. They do not belong to the same class as the royal family and the church. They are just a little higher than the bottom class and are nobles canonized by the Loen royal family.

The former values [anchor] more, while the latter values [money] more.

At least, the nobles of the Fourth Era would most likely not make their fiefdoms a mess just to plunder and squeeze more money from the lower classes. Relatively speaking, the extraordinary nobles were not so obsessed with and greedy for money and power, which were innate things. They valued progress at the extraordinary level more. Noble sons who aspired to become saints would probably be nicer to those at the lower classes who chanted their names. Believers were more precious than food.

Even if the nobles have no intention of pursuing the path of transcendence, they will be willing to leave a way out for the lower classes who pray and praise their ancestors, grandfathers, fathers, and brothers day and night. These nobles still have to care about their eating manners and reputation.

After exchanging a few more words, Audrey left, and Klein returned to 160 Böklund Street, preparing to summon the "Magic Mirror" Arrodes to inquire about the intelligence of the two extraordinary creatures, the "Hound of Fulgrim" and the "Demon Wolf of the Mist".

At this time, as time passed, the clouds in the sky became thicker and the sun was blocked again. The whole of Backlund became as cold and gloomy as it was in the morning.

Klein stood in front of the desk, spread out a piece of paper, picked up a pen, and drew a complex symbol that combined "concealment" and "voyeurism."

One second, two seconds... After seven or eight seconds, the surface of the full-length mirror in the room became dark, with water light floating on it, and silver words condensed into them:

"Great and merciful young master, your loyal, humble and modest servant Arrodes comes at your call.

"Great Master, what questions do you want to ask your loyal servant Arrodes this time?"

The surface of the full-length mirror was once again filled with water light, and new silver words took shape:

"What do you know about the Hound of Fulgrim and the Wolf of the Mist?" Klein asked bluntly, without realizing that these were actually two different questions.

"The Hounds of Fulgrim live in the cracks of history. Unless they leave the cracks of history on their own and try to hunt, it is difficult to contact them. The Mist Wolf is a high-ranking wolf. There are very few of them left now, and it is difficult to find them."

In other words, the Church of Evernight may have the materials and items of the Mist Wolf, and with these, they can use them as bait to "fish" for the Hound of Fulgrim in the spirit world?

I'm fishing for a spiritual creature that I've never even seen before?

"The secret of the Blood Emperor's ruins."

Klein asked again.

The mirror surface changed, revealing an ancient relic hidden deep in the darkness, and the picture suddenly stopped.

Arrodes didn't dare to answer?

"it's your turn."

Klein nodded thoughtfully.

"Merciful Master, why don't you leave Backlund?"

Arrodes asked while manipulating the silver words.

This is a good question. What the royal family wants to do actually has little to do with Klein. He originally wanted to prevent the disaster that was about to happen, to save the people he knew from the pain of the ambitions of the upper echelons, and to prevent them from drowning in the tide of the times. He was willing to take certain risks for this...

By now, Klein had vaguely realized that he had to keep moving forward, he had to keep moving upward, otherwise he would never know all the truth. If he avoided one trouble, he would encounter more troubles...

“Leaving doesn’t really solve the problem.”

Only when he has seen enough can he better understand his own situation.

There was water light floating in the mirror again, and strands of silver gathered into a coherent sentence:

"Great Master, I have something to tell you. Can I say it?"

“Go ahead.” Klein responded with some curiosity.

The silver words squirmed and turned into new words:

"You must be careful next time!"

Who wants to harm me?

Klein perked up immediately.

"Great Master, I have another scene I want to show you, is that okay?"

“Okay.” Klein said, slowing down his speech.

The surface of the full-length mirror becomes increasingly deep, dotted with diamond-like bright spots of light.

It is a beautiful and vast night.

Ok?
