Chapter 1093: The Ridiculous Man (Monday: Asking for Recommendation and Monthly Votes)

Bernadette was wearing an Intis-style white blouse for women, sitting quietly there, her chestnut hair naturally cascading down, her straight eyebrows perfectly spread, giving her a certain aura of a professional woman from Earth, and moreover, one who had been in a high position for a long time.

The Emperor really had a considerable influence on the "Mystery Queen"'s aesthetic development, except that it was limited by the surrounding environment and couldn't be fully expressed…

Klein took off his hat, pressed it to his chest, slightly bowed, then casually pulled out a chair and sat down.

Bernadette swept him with her azure eyes that resembled condensed seawater, and her voice sounded soft and calm:

"Why did you urgently contact me this time?"

"Aren't you a 'Prophet'? Didn't you get any revelation?" Klein unconsciously retorted in his mind, but then immediately felt that he might be too full of himself.

This should be a side effect of communicating with the "Red Angel" evil spirit for too long… Its rank and level are right there, and it naturally influences those around it. If it wished, this influence could definitely turn into corruption… Klein quickly conducted a self-examination and came to a certain judgment.

He deliberated for a moment and, instead of answering, asked:

"Are you done with your business in Backlund?"

Bernadette slowly shook her head.

"No. One could even say it's failed."

"Eh?" Klein expressed his surprise and confusion with an interjection.

Bernadette glanced at him and spoke at a moderate pace:

"The Sequence 2 potion of the 'Mystery Pryer' pathway has a strange name: 'Wiseman'. To advance to this level, one must prevent a disaster involving high-level forces."

"Wiseman"... So that's where the "Hidden Sage"'s name comes from… Klein suddenly understood, and was about to ask further when he heard the "Mystery Queen" continue:

"I foresaw that such an opportunity would appear in Backlund, so I made preparations here many years in advance, and recently I've been staying here for a long time. Unfortunately, I predicted it for the second half of this year. I wasn't in Backlund at the end of last year, so I couldn't stop the Great Smog incident. And as for this war, I tried to do something and had some success, but who would have thought Feysac would directly air-raid Backlund, and the disaster still broke out in the end."

"So that's why you said it failed…" Klein nodded almost imperceptibly and said with a suppressed sigh:

"I also didn't expect that the initiators of the war would be the Feysacians."

As he spoke, Klein sighed inwardly. The "Mystery Queen"'s advancement ritual was difficult if you considered it difficult, but not too difficult if you considered it otherwise—it all depended on one's personal circumstances.

After all, before he had even become a Demi-God, he had already twice prevented the arrival of the "True Creator", genuinely saving Tingen and Backlund, which should absolutely satisfy the ritual requirements for becoming a "Wiseman". But under normal circumstances, how could there be so many similar disasters, and how could they be so easily prevented?

Like this time, that brother of Amon had been plotting for a thousand or two thousand years. Even if something went wrong with King George III's side, the war would still break out as He predicted, because the knot of the "Uniqueness" of the "Death" pathway simply couldn't be untied.

This made Klein can't help but suspect that Mr. Azik's entire life on the Northern Continent had been arranged by that brother of Amon. Otherwise, without the shapeshifting mask, how could He, with his lost memories, have evaded the surveillance of the major Churches?

And more importantly, in this life, Azik had directly used his real name for some reason!

And this too had aroused no suspicion and attracted no investigation!

Was all of this in your plan, brother of Amon? Thinking of this, Klein once again felt something like post-traumatic stress disorder, and his body almost trembled slightly.

He silently took a breath, looked at the "Mystery Queen", and added:

"This war involves the Son of the Creator, the Angel Kings, and the True Gods—it's simply not something you can stop."

With Bernadette's knowledge, experience, and wisdom, hearing these words still caused a slight change in her expression, and she softly repeated a few key words:

"Son of the Creator... Angel Kings... True Gods..."

She wasn't too surprised, as if she already had some premonition, but even a "Prophet" couldn't truly glimpse the "script" of that brother of Amon.

After repeating, Bernadette was silent for two or three seconds, then muttered with a slight sigh:

"So that's how it is…"

Klein adjusted his sitting position and, shifting his train of thought, said:

"Actually, for you, this war is also an opportunity.

"Next, there will be many, many disasters, some of which involve clashes between forces at the Angel level. I think you should at least have a Grade 0 Sealed Artifact in your possession, so that at a critical moment you could intervene to stop them—but of course, you must choose the right timing and method."

Bernadette lightly nodded, agreeing with Klein's words, and also implicitly admitted that she had at least one Grade 0 Sealed Artifact.

Of course, as the daughter of the "protagonist" of the previous era, as the most beloved child of Emperor Roselle, it would be unbelievable if her father hadn't left her one or two Grade 0 Sealed Artifacts.

And more importantly, Bernadette was already preparing for the ritual to become a "Wiseman", meaning she certainly had the corresponding Sequence 2 Beyonder characteristic, which to some extent was equivalent to a Grade 0 Sealed Artifact.

After this tacit admission, the "Mystery Queen" Bernadette's voice, soft yet devoid of emotion, showed a subtle shift:

"But, I still don't like war, even if it can bring me opportunities."
