Chapter 333 Action
Inside a cheap hotel in the Backlund Bridge district.
Klein, now in a different form, pulled out a gold-cased pocket watch, checked the time, and realized it was almost time for Capin to have dinner!
Without the slightest hesitation, Klein took out the prepared powder and sprinkled it throughout the room, creating a spiritual wall that sealed off the entire room!
Having done all this, he quickly arranged the ceremony and began to pray:
"I!"
"I summon in my own name!"
"A fool who doesn't belong to this era, a mysterious ruler above the gray fog, the king of yellow and black who wields good fortune!"
After the ritual was completed, Klein immediately took four steps backward in the room, entered the gray fog, and prepared to respond to himself!
Sitting in the towering, solemn palace, Klein looked at the summoning gate formed by ripples and waves. Instead of responding to the summons, he absorbed some talismans and items into his body.
Finally, he picked up the "Black Emperor" card and absorbed it into his body!
Klein had originally planned to include the "Abyss" card.
Because, according to his tests, when he contained the "Abyss" card, he seemed to be able to sense the unknown malice more clearly and prolong the existence of the spirit.
But Evan's warning a couple of days ago made him very wary of the legendary "dark side of the universe," and ultimately, when choosing to contain the blasphemous card...
I still chose the "Black Emperor" card!
After successfully accommodating the blasphemous card, Klein's spirit suddenly became very solid, as if it were no longer an illusory spirit, but had become a tangible "spirit"!
And a hazy, dark mist began to swirl around him, gradually forming a majestic suit of armor!
A new, irregularly shaped, jet-black crown now adorns his head, and he wears a matching cape on his back!
There was no wind above the gray fog, but the cloak fluttered wildly!
After reviewing his plan, Klein took a deep breath and stepped through the crack of the illusory gate, entering the real world!
Klein wasted no time and, under the cover of night, followed the route he had scouted beforehand to arrive at Kapin's villa!
He ignored the guards patrolling back and forth with long guns and walked straight toward the villa, while the guards also ignored his appearance!
Using his special spiritual abilities, Klein swaggered into Capin's villa. Following his previous reconnaissance, he took the shortest path, passing through walls to reach Capin's bedroom. He found the safe hidden in the wall and entered. Klein was nearly blinded by what he found inside. It was filled with priceless jewels, and next to them was a neatly arranged stack of cash. The crisp banknotes exuded a unique ink fragrance, and the portrait of Augustus I on the banknotes was particularly striking, making the atmosphere less solemn!
Based on his knowledge, Klein roughly estimated that everything here was worth about 2 gold pounds!
This was a huge sum of money that Klein had never seen in his two lives, so much so that he was still somewhat dazed!
But Klein quickly shook off his obsession with money, remembered his main purpose for the day, and hurriedly packed up the contents of the safe.
With so much money and jewelry inside, Klein felt his spirit become more solid and powerful!
After inspecting the safes again to make sure he hadn't missed any, Klein took out a small silver box from his body and placed it in a corner near the restaurant, waiting for the sleeping potion to take effect!
Back in Tingen, Klein obtained a sleeping potion from Evan, which he used to incapacitate the entire Night Watch squad, and it was remarkably effective!
Before this operation, Klein had obtained the same sleeping potion from Evan again!
The colorless and odorless drug spread rapidly, and the sound of porcelain shattering echoed through the restaurant, but no one made a sound!
After all, it was made by a seasoned "pharmacist". Even though the extraordinary individuals stationed at the Capin Villa were all of high rank, they had no resistance to the drug made by a demigod!
Thirty seconds later, Klein put the lid of the small silver box back on, then walked into the restaurant and found that there were no longer any standing creatures in the restaurant; they were all lying there slumped over!
Klein resisted the urge to kill all three Extraordinary Ones and instead approached the leader, a man named "Horas."
He pulled a black iron glove from his pocket and put it inside his body.
Klein's raid on Capin's villa was not solely to rescue the girl imprisoned in the villa's underground cell.
His most important goal was to drag the Augustus family into the mess and tell the three major churches that the Augustus family was secretly plotting something behind the scenes!
Therefore, witnesses are crucial, so even if Klein could easily kill Kapin and the three extraordinary beings right now, he cannot do so!
After confirming that no one inside the villa would wake up during the night, Klein took out a tarot deck from his person, scattered it on the ground, and arranged it into a complex symbol representing the "Fool" that he had once shown to Bernadette, with the "Emperor" card at the very center!
After doing all this, Klein reluctantly took out a thin, golden-yellow shard covered with mysterious patterns and shouted in Hermes:
"Light!"
The golden talisman quickly heated up, then turned into a blazing fireball, illuminating the villa, which was only lit by gas lamps and candles, as if it were daytime!
Klein lifted the massive fireball with his hand, sending it soaring into the air, crashing through the villa, breaking through the roof, and reaching mid-air.
Then a violent explosion occurred, illuminating half of Backlund.
At this moment, the sun had completely set, and the sky suddenly brightened, attracting the attention of nearby residents and workers who had already finished get off work!
"This might be the most expensive fireworks ever!"
Klein watched the fireball gradually dissipate through the broken roof of the villa, and his heart ached terribly!
In order to deal with the divine child in Megas's womb, and to deal with the lurking Ince Zangwill and 0-08, Klein took every opportunity to fleece the Eternal Sun.
Using that badge formed from the blood of the eternal sun, some advanced runes of the solar realm were created.
Apart from the two sold to Evan, most of the talismans were used in the battle of Tingen. Klein only had two Yangyan Talismans left, which were his biggest trump cards at the moment.
After drugging everyone at the Capin Villa, the key is to lure people from the three major churches, and moreover, to lure the high-ranking members of the three major churches, not just ordinary extraordinary individuals!
Using a gas explosion is one method, but it's hard to guarantee that innocent people won't be injured.
In Klein's eyes, many of the maids in this villa were pitiful people who had been forced into this situation.
So after careful consideration, Klein finally decided to use a high-level talisman as a lure to attract the three major churches!
The Church of Storms is unusually hostile to the Church of Knowledge and Wisdom and the Church of the Eternal Sun, which stems from the attitude of the true God behind them.
The appearance of a "Sunfire" talisman in Backlund should be enough to stir up the sensitive nerves of the Storm Church!
Just then, a phantom door suddenly tore open in mid-air above the villa, covered with mysterious symbols!
The door opened silently, and a handsome man in his forties, dressed in a sharp suit, walked out. He was mature and elegant, with the typical air of an aristocrat!
At the same time, a gust of wind blew by, and a figure flew over at high speed!
The man was an elderly man dressed in a robe embroidered with storm symbols, his expression unusually serious. He was none other than Simon Ferguson, the newly appointed Archbishop of Backlund by the Church of Storms.
Archbishop Simon was about to say something to the nobleman when he suddenly noticed something and looked towards a corner of the villa's roof.
On the rooftop, a majestic figure covered in black armor and wearing a jet-black crown could be seen!
The figure glanced mockingly at the noble demigod who had arrived first, then nodded to the Archbishop of Storms, pointed to the villa at his feet, and then disappeared without warning right under the noses of the two high-ranking powerhouses!
"Crackling sound."
A silvery-white lightning bolt, shaped like a tree branch, lit up the sky on a late winter night.
The lightning didn't strike, but it illuminated the sky above the villa, revealing every detail!
Archbishop Simon, his face grim, muttered to himself:
"The Rose School? 'Wraiths'?"
Before he could finish speaking, Archbishop Simon shook his head, denying his own guess. Instead, he turned to the noble demigod who had arrived before him and asked:
"This is the Joewood district, under the jurisdiction of the Church of Storms. What are you doing here?"
The middle-aged demigod sensed the implicit question in Archbishop Simon's words, his heart skipped a beat, and he uttered the excuse he had prepared long ago:
"I live around here!"
Archbishop Simon nodded, glancing at his subordinates who were flying towards him from afar using spells, and casually remarked:
"There's nothing serious here, and it's within the jurisdiction of our Storm Church, so I'll handle it!"
The middle-aged nobleman hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded, re-established a teleportation gate, and left Kapin's villa!
Archbishop Simon entered the villa's dining room through a large hole in the roof. He frowned as he looked at the people lying on the ground and the symbols arranged with tarot cards.
"The Secret Order?"
Archbishop Simon had never seen the symbol before; he had only seen similar ones in the archives about secret societies!
Considering the "Sunfire" talisman that had just appeared, Archbishop Simon suspected that the strange spirit he had just seen came from the secret order of Intis, or rather, the Eighth Bureau!
But why did he waste a high-level talisman without killing a single person?
And why did he display different attitudes when facing the two of them just now?
It was the suspicious behavior of that strange spirit that made Archbishop Simon suspicious of Augustus, who had arrived before him, and he made an excuse to send him away!
"Archbishop, this is the villa of the wealthy Capin. These three individuals are all Extraordinary Beings with Arbitration Path Sequences 6, 7, and 8, respectively. There's a sizable underground prison containing many young girls!"
As Archbishop Simon began to ponder the suspicious aspects of the demigod Augustus, a blue-haired squad leader wearing gold-rimmed glasses, known as the "Substitute Punisher," reported his initial findings to him!
"Arbitration route?"
Archbishop Simon immediately grasped the key point and retorted sharply!
The leader of the substitute punishment squad nodded with a similarly serious expression, and added:
"Kappin is a controversial tycoon who is rumored to be involved in several missing girls cases. Many people suspect that he is involved in the slave trade, and there are even rumors that he monopolizes the human trafficking in Backlund's underground!
Regardless of his immense influence underground, the fact that he could receive protection from so many extraordinary individuals of considerable strength is still unbelievable!
Although the captain of the Punishers didn't say it explicitly, his words implied that this Capin was no ordinary person! He might even be connected to the Augustus family!
After all, the royal family has a very tight control over the 'arbitrator' and 'lawyer' pathways, and their targeting is too clear!
Archbishop Simon thought of the fate of his predecessor, Archbishop Snake, and the instructions given to him by His Holiness the Pope before he came to Backlund, and felt the difficulty of the situation before him!
"You guys stay here and handle the aftermath, I'll take these people back to the church first—"
Before Archbishop Simon could finish speaking, he abruptly turned his head to look at the three extraordinary individuals who had passed through the Arbitrator Path and were still unconscious.
In his inspiration, the spirits of these three people dissipated and vanished in an instant, leaving them completely dead!
Simon wasn't the only one who noticed the sudden deaths of these three people; all the members of the Punisher team present also realized this fact. They all stood there, looking at each other, at a loss, and then looked at His Excellency the Archbishop!
Archbishop Simon's face was beyond ashen; he was on the verge of exploding.
Other members of the Punisher group might only think that these three extraordinary individuals were killed, but he could sense that they were executed by the set 'rules'!
And this power that can kill right under his nose is at least at the angel level!
Archbishop Simon took a deep breath, suppressing his surging emotions, and leaped away, leaving only the words: "Handle the aftermath as quickly as possible!"
He wasn't going to find the Augustus family; he had no evidence, and going there would be useless. He needed to get back to the church immediately and contact His Holiness the Pope through the ceremony as soon as possible to report what had happened that night!
Just as Archbishop Simon arrived at the Cathedral of the Holy Wind, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration and looked at a corner of the square in front of the cathedral, where he discovered that the strange spirit he had just seen at the villa had reappeared!
Archbishop Simon floated in the air, his gaze fixed, without uttering a word!
Klein smiled at Archbishop Simon again, took an envelope from his pocket, placed it on a bench in the square, then bowed with his left hand on his chest before leaving quietly once more.
This time, Archbishop Simon did not make any move to stop him; he simply flew forward, picked up the envelope, and opened it to read the contents.
West End, Baron Rams's House.
Evan stood with his arms crossed in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the second-floor study, looking at the "little sun" that suddenly appeared in the dark night sky, his expression solemn!
Has Klein used the Sunfire Talisman?
