Chapter 329 Taking it under his command with malice
In a secluded private room at the Brave Ones Bar, Klein and Marich chatted casually, but were actually anxiously waiting for news from Evan.
The outcome of tonight's operation was completely unexpected. They never imagined that the Rose School would have a second demigod in Backlund, to the point that they almost fell into their own trap!
"This was entirely our mistake, which put you in such a dangerous situation. We will definitely make it up to you later!"
Marich said somewhat awkwardly to Klein, "After all, they were the ones in charge of this plan, and they would be held responsible if things went wrong." Klein waved his hand dismissively and said reassuringly, "..."
"It's not entirely your fault. After all, no one could have imagined that the Rose School had two demigods in Backlund."
Moreover, judging from Evan's words just now, that demigod named "Jacks" didn't come specifically for you. Do you have any clues about the Rose School sending another demigod to Backlund?
Whether it was a misperception or not, Klein always felt that the demigod named "Jacks" was somehow connected to him in coming to Backlund!
"No, we're a bit confused ourselves!"
Miss Sharon, with blonde hair and blue eyes, appeared in the private room dressed in a black Gothic court dress.
"I wonder how Evan is doing now, whether he managed to escape?"
Seeing that he couldn't get much information from Miss Sharon and Marich, Klein stopped worrying and started to worry about Evan's situation.
After all, the scale of a battle between Sequence 5 beings is incomparable to the scale of a battle between demigods.
Correspondingly, the official responses will also vary greatly!
Therefore, Klein had no idea whether Evan could erase his traces under the noses of so many official forces and escape unscathed!
After all, this is Backlund, a city that can withstand the war of angels, and the strength of the official organization is definitely not to be underestimated!
"You don't need to worry about that. Since I've stayed behind to clean up the mess, it means I'm absolutely confident. I wouldn't do something I wasn't sure of!"
Before Klein could finish speaking, a familiar voice suddenly came from inside the private room, which made Klein and the others feel a chill down their spines and stand up alertly!
Nothing is more startling than the sudden appearance of a fourth voice while three people are chatting, even if they are all familiar with that voice!
Under the watchful eyes of Klein and his two companions, a seemingly alluring figure appeared through the floor-to-ceiling window of the private room.
Before they could react, the figure jumped down and sat on the sofa.
Miss Sharon and Marich didn't think much of it, probably just assuming that Evan had borrowed the power of the sealed artifact. Only Klein guessed that Evan was actually using his own power!
"It seems Evan has not only made great progress in the Hunter path, but he hasn't neglected the Witch path either! What terrifying acting talent!"
Klein is probably the only person in the world who knows that Evan can advance through two paths.
Even the Witch Cult and the Gnostic have always mistakenly believed that Evan is an "assassin" who is a single-path extraordinary!
"I waited until the three major churches and MI9 personnel left the scene. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting!"
"It's nothing, but Evan, your previous statements were vague. Could you explain it to us more clearly now?"
Marich spoke first, asking the question, and Miss Sharon and Klein both cast inquiring glances.
It wasn't that they suspected Evan, but rather that they all wanted to find out why Jax had appeared in Backlund.
Klein wanted to know where, besides Sharon and Maritch, he had any contact with the Rose School.
Marich and Sharon were simply looking for an opportunity to sabotage the Rose School's affairs; after all, sending a demigod to Backlund was clearly no small matter.
Evan naturally understood what everyone was thinking, so he recounted in detail how he had unexpectedly discovered that the Rose School had plotted against them!
"In short, Jax's appearance in Backlund wasn't specifically aimed at Sharon and Marich. He seemed to be looking for something, but it just so happened that Zakwin wanted to turn the tables on you, so he got involved in the operation to capture you, becoming Zakwin's scapegoat!"
As he finished speaking, a wild smile crept across Evan's lips, clearly pleased with his successful hunt for a demigod.
Klein and Sharon looked at Evan with envy, wondering when they would be able to hunt demigods!
"By the way, bring out all the extraordinary traits you've acquired this time. The extraordinary traits you have are all contaminated by the Mother Tree of Desire and cannot be used directly. I'll purify them for you, and that will be fine!"
Evan suddenly remembered the corruption of extraordinary traits by the Mother Tree of Desire and quickly said.
Sharon and her group's decision to risk setting a trap was clearly aimed at the "Crimson Corona" that could resolve the side effects of their own pathways, as well as the extraordinary properties of "Wraith" Steve.
The original work doesn't explicitly state how Marich used this extraordinary property to ascend; perhaps they had a solution to the pollution problem.
But Evan was unwilling to gamble, after all, in his eyes, Marich was already his man, and he couldn't afford to make a mistake in something like this.
More importantly, he shouldn't implicate himself in the future. After all, he had already witnessed the devastating corruption of the Mother Tree of Desire when he killed Jax.
If it weren't for the protection of the City of Calamity, he would have been infected back then!
Sharon and Marich showed no surprise at Evan's words, as if they had known about the contamination within extraordinary abilities all along, and both revealed the extraordinary abilities they possessed.
In the light emanating from Klein and the others, Evan pretended to cross his arms, and the familiar red light reappeared on his body, as if he had once again activated the seal that was so compatible with him.
Klein and the others nearby were also startled. They had been very close to Evan this time, so much so that they were affected to some extent, and they could taste a trace of blood in their mouths!
The red light emanating from Evan enveloped the strangely shaped and exceptionally ugly creatures placed on the ground.
Those extraordinary properties reacted immediately, causing a violent shaking, followed by the rise of black mist, which finally dissipated into the air!
"Alright, there are no more problems now. Marich, you can use this extraordinary trait to advance your career as you wish!"
Evan lowered his arms from his chest, dissipated the red aura around him, and said with a smile.
"Thank you for your help! How can I ever repay you?"
wide,
Although the two sides are deeply bound allies, they cannot take Evan's help for granted. Regardless of whether Evan cares or not, they should at least express their gratitude to Evan. Marich is quite clear about this.
As expected, Evan simply waved his hand dismissively and said:
"No need to be so formal. After all, we've been allies for so long. It's just a small favor!"
Maric nodded, and didn't say anything more. Since Evan had already said that, it would be too formal for him to say anything more. He could only keep this in mind.
"Miss Sharon, you can continue preparing the necessary materials and the ascension ceremony. Once you've completed all the preparations, I can bestow upon you the extraordinary properties of the 'Puppet'!"
Seeing that Marich did not politely accept his favor, Evan smiled and spoke to Miss Sharon, who had been hesitant to speak.
After introducing Collins to Ms. Amanda's party and arranging for him to meet Bernadette for the deal, Collins kept his promise and gave her the potion formula for "Puppet"!
Sharon's expression shifted. She stared intently at Evan, who remained smiling and looking at her with an open and honest gaze. Finally, she lifted her skirt, curtsied, and said softly:
"Thank you for your generosity. I will do my best to assist you in the future!"
The extraordinary attributes of a demigod were far too valuable, and Miss Sharon knew she couldn't repay this favor, but she didn't want to give up. Therefore, she had no choice but to deeply bind herself to Evan once more, essentially acknowledging that their relationship had evolved from allies.
The relationship has changed to subordinate!
Upon hearing this, Evan's smile grew even brighter.
"There's no question of 'should' or 'shouldn't.' We all have our own goals and careers, so let's support each other in the future!"
"Um, could you and Marich excuse ourselves for a moment? Klein and I have something to say!"
Sharon and Marich readily agreed to Evan's request, both nodding to Klein before leaving the private room.
"Congratulations on successfully recruiting Miss Sharon into your fold! How far are you from fulfilling the ritual requirements?"
Klein had witnessed the entire transaction between Evan and Miss Sharon, so he naturally knew what had just happened.
At the same time, he also knew why Evan had always attached so much importance to building an army and recruiting talent, after all, the blasphemous card of the "Hunter" path had been in his hands for a day!
Evan's successful recruitment of Miss Sharon and Marich clearly marks a step forward on his path to becoming a "Iron Knight"!
After all, the promotion ceremony for the "Iron Knight" requires the formation of a team of at least thirty people!
"Although the proclamation tablet states that a team of at least thirty people is required to advance to 'Iron-Blooded Knight,' my feeling is that if the team members have high ranks, the requirement can be lowered. So my promotion ceremony is almost ready!"
Evan had no intention of hiding it from Klein, after all, there was nothing to hide, and Klein would find out sooner or later!
At the same time, he was not lying. The requirements for the "Iron Knight" ascension ceremony were described based on the most extreme scenario where everyone in the team is an ordinary person or a Sequence 9. If the team members have a higher Sequence, then the corresponding ceremony requirements can be lowered!
This is why Evan has always valued Miss Sharon so much.
She is the strongest person Evan knows who can be subdued by demons in a short period of time!
Her "weight" alone is enough to replace at least seven or eight people!
Klein was startled. He was not yet the "trickster" who could successfully advance with the help of an "audience" in the future, and he had not yet realized the "weight" of the extraordinary. So when he heard about this for the first time, he was naturally very surprised.
"How's your potion digestion going? Are you confident you can level up quickly?"
Klein cautiously inquired about Evan's potion digestion speed, while Evan replied cryptically:
"Soon. By the way, I didn't keep you here to talk about my problems. I wanted to ask if you have any clue about Jax's goals in coming to Backlund?"
In fact, Evan had already guessed something on his way back, but he couldn't show it in front of Klein because it involved information he shouldn't know right now!
"I don't know, but I have a feeling he's targeting me. You seemed to have noticed that too when we were there. Do you have any clues?"
Evan shook his head, then looked Klein up and down and laughed:
"What's so special about you that you're saying Jacks specifically sought you out?"
Your only special circumstance is luck; luckily you encountered Mr. Fool, escaping certain death time and time again.
I've lived a long and healthy life until now!
Klein ignored Evan's teasing and instead had a sudden inspiration.
Yes, if I were to say there's anything special about it, it would be my transmigrator identity and the gray fog!
My journey through time is clearly connected to the gray fog. Is this the gray fog that's coming to hit me?
Klein felt a chill run through him, because this was the third time his special nature had been discovered. The first time was in Tingen, when the true creator saw through him and greeted him.
Klein had always suspected that the phrase "long time no see" left by the true creator's avatar was spoken to the gray mist on his body or its former owner, rather than to him.
This was also the first time he was certain that the gray mist on his body could be detected by people in reality.
This is the third time that Jacks has done this!
Klein was shocked and puzzled. Why?
The true creator, after all, stands at the pinnacle of the extraordinary world and is able to perceive the existence of the gray mist. This does not surprise Klein, especially since they were face to face at the time.
Klein had always been very confident in the gray fog, believing that even a true god might not be able to detect it unless they were face-to-face.
But what right does a demigod like Jax have? How could he possibly detect the presence of the gray mist?
If he didn't sense the gray fog, but rather some evil god behind him, then what was the medium?
Klein pondered the events of this period of time, but he was still puzzled.
"Although the Mother Tree of Desire behind the Rose School is terrifying, Mr. Fool is not simple either. He should have foreseen the appearance of Jax. Do you think Mr. Fool is using something to fish for us?"
"You'd better ask carefully, lest you ruin Mr. Fool's important plans and lose your own life!" Evan advised with a concerned and worried expression.
Evan's words opened Klein's mind again. He remembered that his gray mist had recently collected something of a high rank.
And this thing just happens to be related to the evil god behind the Rose School, which is the "Abyss" blasphemous card, the spoils of war he obtained when he killed Jason Belial!
