Chapter 425: A Changed Problem

Inside the carriage outside the Cragg Club.

"'Apostle of Desire' doesn't necessarily equal Patrick Jason Beria? You think we might have been misled?" After listening to Klein's words, Icanth did not sneer, disdain, or look down on him, but instead seriously discussed the issue with him.

A good deacon... but it might also be because he frequently uses that magic mirror named Arrodes; no matter how bad or sharp his temper is, it would get worn down... Klein praised him inwardly, then nodded sincerely and said:

"That is my personal opinion, out of caution.

"It's very simple to verify. Ask the magic mirror about the location of that 'Apostle of Desire,' rather than the location of Patrick Jason Beria."

Icanth pressed down on his hat and said:

"Reasonable."

His expression turned serious again, and his gaze fell upon the magic mirror in his palm.

"Deacon Icanth, if you find any clues here, that demon will surely detect it." Klein reminded him from the side.

"True." Icanth turned to the two team members and said, "You two continue to protect Mr. Moriarty covertly. Even if that 'Apostle of Desire' attacks, the three of you joining forces will be able to hold him off for a long time, and there are military personnel nearby."

"Yes, Deacon!" the two members of the Mechanical Heart replied without hesitation.

Icanth immediately left, heading towards the location of the Nighthawks, which was around Aisenger Stanton.

The God's Song has been diverted away, and the Sealed Artifact of the Church of the Goddess has also been deployed... If the 'Apostle of Desire' really makes a move, it will definitely be this afternoon... I hope they make it in time, I hope that magic mirror gives the correct answer... But this way, I won't have a chance to get involved. I won't be able to witness the death of that demon who is harming everyone, and I won't be able to touch his suitcase filled with cash, gold bars, gold coins, and jewelry... Klein sighed with mixed emotions and a sense of loss as he watched Icanth's retreating figure.

But he quickly recovered his mood:

This is for the best. At least I don't have to take any risks, and I can peacefully resolve this crisis.

Besides, the Mechanical Heart certainly won't mistreat me. If they succeed, my views and suggestions will definitely be in a very important position. Moreover, as a believer of the God of Steam and Machinery, judging by the styles of the major churches, they should give me a share of the harvest... With the premise of 50,000 pounds being on the line, it can't be too little...

Thinking about it, Klein couldn't help but feel a bit regretful.

But he wouldn't take the risk and get involved.

A 'Magician' never performs without preparation!

It was still too tight, too rushed. There was simply no time for me to plan... Klein nodded to the two Mechanical Heart members, got out of the carriage, and returned to the Cragg Club. Just in case, he had the attendant open a lounge for him.

...

In the living room of Aisenger Stanton's house in the Hillsston District.

Leonard Mitchell brushed back his slightly unruly black hair and, following the orders of Captain Sost, with the help of the other Nighthawks, struggled to put on the silver full-body armor stained with large patches of blood.

He pulled down the visor, hiding his emerald eyes in the deep darkness, and then extended his left hand, clad in a silvery-white metallic glove, to take the magic mirror offered by Icanth.

Within the Church of Steam and Machinery, this silver mirror's code name was "2-111."

"It's only a Grade '2' Sealed Artifact?" Sost asked with slight surprise.

Icanth nodded:

"Yes, its harmfulness is not high."

When he said the last part, his tone suddenly gained a bit of a grinding feeling, as if he was gritting his teeth.

"So, in other aspects, it meets the standard for a Grade '1' Sealed Artifact?" Sost asked thoughtfully.

Icanth glanced at him warily:

"Just certain aspects."

He refused to reveal more information.

At this moment, Leonard gently stroked the surface of the silver mirror with his right hand. The living room suddenly fell silent.

After three strokes, he spoke in a deep voice:

"Respected Arrodes, my question is, where is the 'Apostle of Desire' who attacked Aisenger Stanton currently located?"

The entire house suddenly dimmed, as if a dark cloud had just passed by outside.

Watery light flowed on the surface of the silver mirror, quickly forming a somewhat blurry picture:

It was a luxurious villa-style house. In front of the window was a large garden.

In the center of the garden was a glass greenhouse, within which bloomed countless fresh, blood-red roses.

Looking up from the glass greenhouse, one could see the pale sun behind the thin mist.

"It's in Backlund!" Aisenger Stanton immediately calculated where the picture's location was based on the perspective, the position of the sun in the sky, and other information.

"This is completely different from the answer when we asked about Jason Beria's location before! We were misled!" Icanth said in a deep voice.

"Soother" Sost sighed and said:

"How cunning.

"Then who is the Jason Beria being chased by 'God's Song'?

"Sigh, there's no time to discuss. Let's first deduce the general area from the picture information, and then take action immediately. I suspect that 'Apostle of Desire' is going to cause a major incident!"

At this moment, the silver mirror called Arrodes had already dissipated the image and turned into floating words.

It demanded that Leonard Mitchell answer a question. If he lied or was unwilling to answer, he would suffer severe punishment.
