Chapter 332 Cooperation, Accidental Entry
Klein had been asleep for a short while when he suddenly became fully awake.
He knew that a force had begun to invade his dreams.
Even the invasion of the Serpent of Fate could be detected; I—no, I should say the Gray Mist—are truly formidable!
Klein looked around in his dream and found himself on the barren plain where he had appeared before. Not far away was a black spire, but this time he did not see the mysterious, huge, and majestic silver serpent!
Following his previous experience, Klein entered the black spire, which was still ancient and decaying, with a chaotic layout. The stairs sometimes spiraled upwards and sometimes slanted downwards. Some of the room doors were normal, some were upside down, and some were embedded in places that shouldn't be there!
Through a series of large doors and through walls, Klein once again arrived deep within the spire!
Tarot cards are scattered here, clustered around the slightly raised ground in the center.
There was a sentence written in silver-white font!
"As you wish, this is what I've been hoping for!"
Klein was secretly pleased, but after waiting a while and seeing no further revelations, he left the dream!
Klein woke up in bed, opened his eyes, and smiled slightly.
It's not surprising that the Speaker of the Life Council is taking this matter seriously, considering that the Augustus family tried to kill him not long ago!
I also have to thank Evan for generously sharing the secrets of Backlund at the Tarot meeting; otherwise, I would never have thought of collaborating with the Speaker of Life!
Since transmigrating to this world, Klein has been approached three times by people directly because of the gray fog!
The first time was when he was discovered by an avatar of the true creator in Tingen.
The third time was tonight when it was discovered by the evil god behind the Rose School, the "Mother Tree of Desire," through the blasphemous card.
The second time was last weekend, when he was discovered by the Life Council Chairman hiding in Backlund!
Klein also discovered by chance that the legendary, severely injured Chief of the Life Council had been reborn into a doctor's family!
Furthermore, he can directly sense the presence of the gray fog and actively give hints to establish a connection with it!
At that time, Klein was immersed in the disappointment of the goddess of the night ignoring him, and he was extremely terrified to find that an unfamiliar angel could directly detect the gray fog!
But after a few days, nothing unusual was found, which allowed Klein to recover from his frightened state and guess that the Life Council Chairman's actions towards him were actually out of goodwill!
Having decided to embark on the path of opposing the Augustus family, Klein naturally needed to consider the cards he could play, and naturally thought of the Life Council Chairman who had recently escaped death from the Augustus family.
So, with a try-it-out attitude, he used the origami crane that had created the connection to propose a collaboration against the Augustus family.
As expected, the Speaker of the Life Council was very interested in this and even openly encouraged him to do so!
I wonder what kind of help the Speaker of Life will provide. Based on my understanding of the path of destiny, I guess it won't be good luck.
It's about bringing misfortune upon the Augustus family!
With the Speaker of the House taking action, my operation against Kapin should go smoothly, and I don't need to worry about any unexpected factors, especially interference from Ince Zangwell and 0-08!
When formulating plans to target Capin and expose the royal conspiracy, Klein's biggest concern was actually nothing else.
His biggest worry was that Ince Zangwill, who had already partnered with the Augustus family, would use 0-08 to interfere.
This is the most unpredictable factor that Klein cannot control!
Regardless of how cunning and treacherous the Speaker of Life may have been recently, he is still a Sequence 1 Archangel.
With his involvement, I believe Ince Zangwell and 0-08 should be able to make any waves this time!
While Klein was basking in the excitement of getting the Speaker of Life to join his operation, Evan arrived at Fors's rented apartment in the Joewood district!
Evan didn't want anyone to see him coming and going, so he entered the apartment directly through the glass of the apartment window!
Unexpectedly, she stumbled upon Fors lying on the sofa, with nothing covering her except a bath towel wrapped around her chest!
"what!"
Fors also noticed Evan suddenly appearing in the apartment, instinctively letting out a scream and throwing the coffee cup next to her at Evan.
Evan hadn't expected to witness this scene and was stunned for a moment. It wasn't until the coffee cup in mid-air almost hit his face that he reacted, his whole body bursting into flames and disappearing from the spot.
The coffee cup didn't hit Evan, but instead smashed into the glass window behind him, making a crisp sound!
Evan stepped out from the gas lamp on the wall, glanced at the broken glass window, and was about to explain.
Suddenly, a thought struck him, and he pushed off with his feet, leaping up and flashing to the other side of the room.
Just as Evan's figure left the spot, there was a loud "bang" and the door behind where he had just been standing shattered. A figure, also wrapped in a bath towel but with a lot of white foam on his hair, raised his fist and turned into a blur as he punched Evan!
"Stop! Stop right now! It's me!" Evan shouted as he saw this, raising his hand to block!
He dared not be careless. Without using the power of "Bonaparte's Fortress", he was essentially still an extraordinary being with high attack but low defense, and did not have the tough body of the "Iron-Blooded Knight"!
If Hugh had landed that punch, Evan would have broken at least two ribs!
At that moment, Hugh finally saw who the man in the apartment was!
Only then did Fors calm down, and angrily roared at Evan:
"Why didn't you come in through the main entrance?!"
Hugh also pressed down on the slightly loosely tied towel with his hand, looking at Evan with a sharp gaze!
Evan awkwardly touched his nose, offering no excuses, but instead turned around and apologized:
"I'm sorry, it was my fault, but the most important thing right now isn't to pursue this matter with me. You should change your clothes first and deal with the neighbors or police who might arrive soon!"
Glancing at the smashed window and recalling the loud shout from earlier, Fors and Hugh glared at Evan's back before running into their respective rooms to change their clothes.
Sure enough, there was a knock on the door less than two minutes later. With the help of her nimble hands that came with being a "master of tricks", Fors got dressed first and opened the door before the person outside could suspect anything!
"Miss Fors, what happened?"
Upon opening the apartment door, I found two security guards from the apartment building, carrying a stick and coming over to check the situation.
"Nothing much, I just suddenly spotted a big rat, which gave me a huge fright. In my panic, I grabbed a cup and threw it at it, but I ended up breaking the window!"
Fors made up an excuse and took the opportunity to subtly criticize Evan!
The apartment security guard was momentarily stunned by Fors's fair and rosy skin, which she had just showered with. He swallowed hard and said, his eyes darting around:
"So, did you catch the mouse? Do you need our help?"
"No need, we can catch that mouse, so there's no need to trouble you!"
However, could you please help me fix the windows and doors tomorrow?
At this moment, Hugh also stepped out of the room and interjected authoritatively.
The arbitrator's imposing presence made the security guard shudder. He dared not disobey and nodded in agreement, even forgetting to ask how the bathroom door had been broken like that!
After the two security guards left, Evan emerged from the shadows once more.
"I thought you were still waiting for me, so I didn't think too much about it and just came in."
I didn't expect you all to be getting ready for bed!
Fors rolled her eyes, pointed to the grandfather clock in the corner of the living room, and replied irritably:
"Don't you even look at the time? We agreed to meet at eight o'clock, and it's almost midnight now!"
Of course we assumed you were held up by something and couldn't make it tonight!
So we're not going to sleep, and we're going to wait for you until dawn?
"And if you had gone through the main entrance, none of this would have happened!"
Evan gave an awkward laugh. It was indeed his fault for breaking the promise and not arriving at the agreed time. He also liked to use his extraordinary abilities to travel and forgot that the other party was two girls!
"It was my fault this time. A demigod-level battle took place outside Backlund today, and I went there, so I'm late!"
Evan wanted to end this awkward situation as soon as possible, so he had to find a topic to distract himself!
Sure enough, the word "demigod" was very attractive to Fors and Hugh; they were immediately drawn in by Evan's words!
"What happened? Have you gotten any clues?"
Many significant events have occurred in Backlund in the past few months, leading to extremely high missions and rewards for MI9.
Hugh was the most direct beneficiary, so her eyes lit up when she heard about the possibility of gaining merit!
"This matter is not of great value. Through various means, many clues point to a very powerful angel, which is beyond the capabilities of the Church of Backlund and MI9."
The next step will either be for the three major churches to send representatives from their headquarters, or the royal family to directly intervene. In short, it won't affect us much!
Evan couldn't say that he was the one who started the fight, nor was there any need to tell them, so he simply relayed the conclusions reached by the three major churches!
"Backlund is really too uninhabitable. There have been more than one battle between angels in the past few months, and even Duke Negan was assassinated!"
According to the cockroach theory, when you find one cockroach, there are many more unseen cockroaches in places you can't see.
There have been enough demigods and angels appearing in Becron during this period, and who knows how many more are hiding in the shadows.
There must be a reason why they've all gathered in Backlund, right?
I wonder what exactly is brewing behind Backlund's back?
Fors sighed and couldn't help but complain, unaware that she had actually just discovered the essence of the problem!
This made Evan look at Fors with new respect. He never expected that this seemingly lazy woman would notice something was wrong before Hugh, who had the most keen sense of smell!
Is this the intuition of a literary creator, or is it a special trait of "astrologers"?
"Is there something on my face? Why are you staring at me like that?"
Fors noticed that Evan was looking at her with surprise, somewhat puzzled, and even wiped his face with his hand!
"Perhaps you are a born 'astrologer'. While many people are still confused, you have discovered the essence of the problem!"
Alright, enough of that. How did your meeting with the Abrahamic family go today? Explain clearly!
Evan was eager to know the details of Fors' actions today.
Fors and Hugh exchanged a glance, both sensing that Evan was hiding something, but they wisely refrained from asking further.
"Today I met an old gentleman named Lawrence Nord. According to his self-introduction, he is a member of the Abraham Family Presbyterian Council and also the older brother of the husband of Ms. Anlisa, who led me to an extraordinary path. In short, he expressed his willingness to cooperate with the Horn family, but he wants to have a face-to-face meeting with you!"
Overall, everything went as we predicted!
After listening to Fors's account, Evan was also very satisfied with the contact.
At the same time, through comparison with the original content, he basically confirmed that the old man was Elder Abraham, who was giving Fors his last instructions and died in Backlund!
The original work describes him quite a bit, and it can be seen that he came to Backlund with the mindset of certain death to identify Fors!
But now is not the time to meet with him. Klein could make a move at any moment, and Backlund could be plunged into a new round of turmoil at any time.
Meeting at such a crucial moment, and getting caught up in unforeseen troubles, could easily lead to a complete disaster, wasting the hard-won opportunity to establish contact!
Evan hesitated for a moment, then said to Fors:
"Meet with Lawrence tomorrow and tell him to leave Backlund immediately, or find a place to stay in Queens and around a few churches."
I will let him know the time and place for the meeting next week!
Why?
Fors and Hugh were full of doubt. Evan valued the Abraham family very much. Now that they had established a relationship and everything was proceeding smoothly according to plan, why was he making excuses about meeting them?
Evan shook his head with a wry smile and said solemnly:
"Backlund may seem to have returned to its former calm, but undercurrents are surging, especially as the Witch Cult seems to be brewing some big move."
As you know, I have some connection with Mr. Fool's followers, and I've heard they're also planning something!
Therefore, it's not appropriate for me to meet with Lawrence right now, and I even need to prevent him from getting into trouble in Backlund!
Lawrence's timing was terrible. According to the original story, his life was nearing its end, but Evan insisted on getting the witch moving. If things went wrong, this old man would become part of the "straw".
If he dies in Backlund, all of Evan's previous preparations will be in vain, and it will be difficult to regain the trust of the Ibrahimovic family!
Fors and Hugh exchanged a glance, both seeing the worry in each other's eyes, but could only await Evan's orders!
