15 Minsk Street. After returning home, Klein didn't rush to divine above the Gray Fog. Pretending nothing had happened, he looked through the newspaper.
During this process, he heard illusory, overlapping voices of prayer and vaguely recognized that it came from Miss.
*After being ravaged by the 'True Creator's ravings, my abilities in this area seem to have improved a little...* Klein turned the pages of the newspaper thoughtfully, half-sitting and half-lying in his armchair without moving.
Only when the hand of his pocket watch neared 10 o'clock did he put down his things and go to the second-floor bathroom to freshen up.
Entering the bedroom and drawing the curtains, Klein skillfully arrived above the Gray Fog. He saw the deep crimson star symbolizing "Justice" constantly expanding and contracting, bringing with it the echoes of prayers.
Klein extended his spirituality to make contact. The figure of Miss "Justice" in a light white silk nightgown immediately appeared before him.
Her image was still very blurry, and she seemed to be leaning back on the bed.
After reciting the honorable name, Audrey cut straight to the point: "Ambassador Beckrand is a Sequence 6 'Conspirer' of the 'Hunter' pathway. He has an assistant suspected to be Sequence 5..."
"After obtaining the detailed information, I asked someone to inquire with Mr. A. He agreed to take on the task of assassinating Ambassador Beckrand, but the conditions are 10,000 gold pounds, or the potion formula for one of the 'Sun', 'Cataclysme Interrer', 'Prophet', or 'Manipulator'. It doesn't need to be complete; having a part is enough."
"I chose the former and prepaid 2,000 pounds. Respected Mr. 'Fool', is my decision correct?"
10,000 gold pounds... The corner of Klein's mouth twitched, then he forced his thoughts in another direction.
The assistant at Sequence 5... That should be the infiltrator from the Seer pathway, right?
Let's assume so first. Better to prepare for the worst...
Does Mr. A have the ability? Will he take the money and not do the job?
"Cataclysme Interrer", "Prophet", "Manipulator", and "Sun" are all Sequence 4. This is the threshold of the high sequences...
Mr. A is highly likely one of the twenty-two Pontiffs of the Aurora Society. Being stationed in Backlund, the capital of all cities, means his status is second only to the five Saints at the top. He is an outstanding Pontiff...
The "Aurora Society" controls the "Secret Supplicant" pathway. This is a path that directly approaches the "True Creator". As a Pontiff, he is highly likely a Beyonder on this sequence chain. Based on his status in Backlund, it can be preliminarily judged that he is Sequence 5, a "Shepherd". Of course, he could be a lower "Rose Bishop" but more outstanding in other aspects, like intelligence...
I have to warn Miss "Justice" not to have too much contact with Mr. A. Beyondners of the "Secret Supplicant" pathway are either already manifesting as abnormal madmen, or madmen hidden very deeply. There are almost no exceptions... The Sequence 8 "Listeners" of this pathway frequently hear the voice of the "True Creator"...
Mn, only a madman would boldly accept the mission to assassinate an ambassador of Intis and have the courage to complete it...
I have a part of the "Sun" potion formula here, along with the corresponding advancement ritual. This can allow Miss "Justice" to save 10,000 gold pounds...
Why does Mr. A only want the formulas for "Sun", "Cataclysme Interrer", "Prophet", and "Manipulator"? Are these the pathways that can be swapped with the "Secret Supplicant" pathway at the high sequences? That's quite a lot. Counting them, there are five...
"Sun" belongs to the Eternal Blazing Sun. "Cataclysme Interrer" sounds like it belongs to the Lord of Storms, or the Evernight Goddess... I previously judged that the respective pathways of the Eternal Blazing Sun, the Lord of Storms, and the God of Knowledge and Wisdom belong to similar sequences, which is why They are hostile to each other. From the looks of it, "Cataclysme Interrer" belongs to the Lord of Storms, it's the Sequence 4 of the "Sailor" pathway, and "Prophet" is the God of Knowledge and Wisdom's...
What pathway does "Manipulator" come from?
They can all be swapped with the sequence corresponding to the "True Creator"... This is quite interesting...
Mn... I can't give the "Sun" formula to Mr. A, not even a part. The members of the Aurora Society are madmen who are always looking for opportunities to take revenge on the world and endanger public safety. Strategical things cannot be traded to them... This is not just a matter of principle, but also involves our own safety. That bunch of madmen in the Aurora Society might really try to sacrifice the entire city once the time is ripe...
Just let Miss Justice pay the 10,000 pounds. It includes the share she reserved for my Blessed. The rest I can compensate her with knowledge... Klein reached out and pinched his own cheek.
He didn't respond to "Justice" for now. Instead, he materialized paper and a pen, preparing to divine.
As for the friend Maric mentioned, Klein had absolutely no understanding of her. He could only judge that she was female from the pronoun "she". If he directly divined whether she was reliable, failure was an unavoidable result.
However, Klein could conduct an indirect divination, using his own safety as the subject. This way, the success rate would be much higher.
As for whether there would be interference or how accurate the results would be, he wasn't the least bit worried because of the barrier of the Gray Fog.
After deliberating for over ten seconds, Klein set his pen to paper and wrote: "There is risk in hiring Maric's friend as a bodyguard for three days."
Putting down his pen and removing his pendulum, Klein focused his mind and quickly performed the divination.
When he opened his eyes, he saw the citrine pendant rotating clockwise, but the amplitude was very small and the speed was very slow.
There is some risk, but it's quite low... Reliable... Klein nodded lightly and changed his divination subject to Mr. A.
