Chapter 249 Klein in Action
Even Evan was very much looking forward to Augustus I's choice, wondering if he would fall out with George III due to unavoidable structural contradictions.
With Adam's support, George III could not possibly fail, so what would have become of Augustus I in that situation?
To complete the ritual of ascending to the position of "Black Emperor" in a country established by angels through the "Arbitrator" path—just thinking about it makes one feel that there must be many contradictions involved.
"In short, in the absence of transparency, if the church discovers that the royal family is persecuting believers, and the Augustus family cannot provide a reasonable explanation, the conflict between the two sides will definitely intensify, and may even lead to a direct confrontation."
Although false gods are false gods, and false god churches are false god churches, I don't believe that once the conflict escalates to a certain point, it won't be possible to drag the false gods down with us. And once the false gods are dragged down, our goal of buying time for the Lord will be achieved.
Mr. A never imagined that he could stir up such deep internal strife within the Augustus family, but as long as he knew he could cause trouble for the Augustus family and buy time for his master, he was very happy and couldn't wait to take action.
"Besides this method, do you have any other options? Don't forget that we still have Triss as a pawn."
Mr. A still felt it wasn't enough and thought they should find more trouble for the Augustus family, so he couldn't help but remind Evan not to forget Triss's existence.
"Of course I haven't forgotten Triss's existence, but things have to be done one step at a time. Since the great battle broke out at Red Rose Manor, it has been closed off. The Augustus family has not opened it to the public, mainly to prevent you from coming to us again."
Therefore, I don't think it's appropriate for you to interfere in Triss's affairs anymore. Otherwise, you'll be provoking Augustus and the Witch Cult and arousing their suspicion.
Conversely, you should demonstrate that you have indeed left Backlund and that you are completely unaware of Triss's true identity as the "Primal Witch".
Therefore, in addition to guiding the three false god churches to discover the royal secret, you also need to leave traces in other cities so that they believe the Aurora Society is unaware of Triss's secret.
As for Triss, I think it's better for me to take control! That way, it'll be more discreet!
Mr. A was not a narrow-minded person, but rather a fanatical believer, so he was not offended by Evan's suggestion. After thinking about it for a moment, he felt that what Evan said made sense. However, he still wanted to cooperate and prevent conflicts, so he said:
"Triss can be controlled by you, but what are you going to do? Triss is probably under their close surveillance right now, and Red Rose Manor hasn't been unsealed yet. How are you going to get in touch with her?"
Evan chuckled softly, subtly removing the clothes stained with Mr. A's snot and tears, draping them over his elbow, and then said:
"The Augustus family has been blocking Red Rose Estate under the pretext of disturbing Edsac Augustus and preventing you from plotting against him again."
As long as I can prove you're in another city, I can orchestrate the unsealing of Red Rose Manor within MI9.
"And next week is George III's birthday. Edsack Augustus has no reason not to attend, nor does Triss, who is by his side. Otherwise, it would be too inappropriate. I will take this opportunity to contact Triss."
Mr. A nodded, agreeing with Evan's plan, but immediately frowned again and said:
"King George III's birthday is indeed a good opportunity, but the risks are also very high. Isn't it too dangerous?"
Evan seemed to have thought of something very funny, and suddenly couldn't help but burst out laughing, which made Mr. A look at him strangely.
Evan barely suppressed a laugh and said, "Have you forgotten that I am still a registered member of the Witch Cult?"
During this time, I was also busy turning the witches who remained in Backlund into our ranks. One of them happened to be the witch who had provided shelter to Triss when she fled to Backlund and had screened her.
"Of course, there's a risk in me contacting Triss directly, and a very high risk at that. But if it's a witch from a witch cult contacting Triss, then how could there be any risk?"
Mr. A was stunned. He slapped his forehead in excitement, realizing that his brain had really gone blank and he had forgotten that Evan had infiltrated the witch's cult.
Mr. A found it utterly absurd that Evan would send a witch to contact the vessel of the "Primordial Witch" right under the noses of the Augustus family and the Witch Cult, to work for the Aurora Society.
"Furthermore, the Red Rose Manor has been sealed off for too long, and there are many things we are unsure about. We don't know if the Witch Cult has discovered that Triss has already pledged allegiance to our Lord, or what Triss's current state is."
Sending a witch to make contact could also help us find out Triss's condition.
After several conversations with Evan, Mr. A now sincerely believes that Evan is really suited for the Hunter path, as he is far too cunning.
Mr. A felt that Evan's plan was sound and ingenious, so he had no intention of making any changes and instead began to add to it.
"I will contact the 'Sage of Mystery' in the next couple of days to complete the transaction, and then have him take me on a trip abroad."
I will leave obvious traces abroad, and MI9 should receive news of my presence overseas very soon.
I need to give them the illusion that I have completely left the Kingdom of Rune. This way, the Augustus family and the Witch Cult will believe that the Aurora Society does not know that Triss is the vessel for the 'Primordial Witch' and lower their guard.
Furthermore, you should take this opportunity to establish the title of "Mr. B" in Backlund, giving them the impression that I have permanently left the Kingdom of Loen and that you will be in charge of Backlund from now on.
Upon hearing Mr. A's addition, Evan really wanted to call over those who thought the Aurora Conference was brainless and listen to them. Could brainless people make such good arrangements?
After agreeing on everything, Mr. A left the villa first. Just as he said, although the chances of being discovered were small, Mr. A's presence in this special villa was still a potential threat to Evan. Now that his injuries had healed, there was no reason for him to continue hiding here.
After Mr. A had been gone for a while, Evan disappeared back into the shadows and climbed over the villa.
However, instead of going straight home, he ran towards the department store, as Mr. A had ruined his clothes beyond repair.
Although it wasn't a big deal that Evan didn't wear an overcoat home, he was cautious and didn't want to leave any clues.
No matter what it is, he always leaves himself room for explanation.
Fire breaks out at the Grand Library in Backlund; management responds decisively.
Looking at the headline on the newspaper, Evan pursed his lips, knowing that Klein and Miss Sharon's plan to hunt Rosago had already begun.
This operation involved not only Klein and Miss Sharon, but also Ian Wright.
Although the Republic of Intis's embassy in Ruen had long known that Zeril had died at MI9's hands, they had never forgotten the information about the ironclad warships that Zeril might have possessed.
They even went so far as to employ an agent who had infiltrated MI9 to ensure that the information in Zeril's possession had not been recovered by MI9.
Evan had kept Ian Wright in hiding his identity after Zeryl's death, all for this very moment.
After the tension in Backlund finally eased, the Intis Embassy, not wanting to be left out, resumed its investigation into Zeril's interpersonal relationships and re-established contact with Petrov Andrei of the Fussac Empire, hoping to obtain information about Zeril's intelligence network.
Prior to this, at Irwin's request, Robert informed Petrov Andrei of his plan to kill Beckeran Jean Madan and asked Petrov Andrei to provide him with information about Ian Wright.
Petrov Andrei was naturally happy to see Beckeron eliminated, as this person might know his identity. In fact, this was one of the conditions he had set when he joined Robert's side—to sever the Intis Republic's control over him and eliminate anyone who might expose his identity.
Furthermore, Petrov Andrei directly contacted the highest levels of the Intis intelligence agency, requesting them to eliminate Beckerang and minimize the risk of his identity being exposed. Intis agreed to his request.
So for the past few days, the Intis team has been doing everything they can to find Zeril's whereabouts, based on information provided by Petrov Andrei.
However, after Ian Wright became an Extraordinary via the "Warrior" pathway and successfully advanced to Sequence 8 "Fighter," his height increased dramatically. He was no longer the thin boy he had been a few months ago, but had become a tall and strong man, so tall that most people couldn't even find him.
After several days of fruitless searching, Beckeron, under immense pressure, finally lost his patience and ordered his top lieutenant, Rosago, to join the search.
Becker is under immense pressure because his backer in Intis has sent him unfortunate news through secret channels: the country is preparing to recall him and reassign him.
His unusual transfer back to the Kingdom of Rune after only a year as Intis's ambassador to the Kingdom of Rune made him sense something was amiss.
He was also a Sequence 6 "Conspirator" on the Hunter Path. After reviewing his recent actions, he realized that it must be because he knew that the country had a high-ranking member of the Fursac intelligence agency, which was why he was recalled to the country to protect the identity of that "Rat".
Based on his understanding of the Fussac Empire's intelligence agencies, he quickly narrowed down the identity of "Rat" to a certain range.
Knowing such a big secret, his fate after returning home wouldn't be good. Beckeron, who always thought the worst of people, even predicted that he would be executed the moment he stepped into the border of the Republic of Intis.
Even while he was in the embassy, he felt like someone was watching him, and he could feel gusts of cold wind on his neck.
Therefore, he was eager to make a great contribution, a contribution that would prevent him from being easily abandoned by his powerful backer or executed silently.
And now, there is no greater achievement than obtaining the blueprints for building ironclad warships.
Through various forms of pressure, the whereabouts of Zeril became Beckeron's last lifeline, something he was determined to capture at all costs.
In this situation, Ian Wright, following the previously agreed-upon plan, deliberately left clues to gradually lure Becklong and Rosago into the trap.
Meanwhile, Klein and Miss Sharon used their status as peripheral members of MI9 to intercept Rosago's operation.
In all of this, everything was real, even the construction blueprints hidden in the library were discarded blueprints that Evan found.
With Evan making ample preparations, Rosago's capture only made him think that the operation was dangerous because MI9 was also interested in the ironclad warship blueprints, and he couldn't realize that the whole operation was actually aimed at him personally.
Evan took a sip of coffee, flipped through the newspaper, and saw that the second-highest page after the front page featured news about the aircraft.
The report said that an aircraft race will be held three days later on the southern outskirts of Backlund to celebrate His Majesty the King's birthday, and the citizens of Backlund are welcome to come and watch and celebrate with His Majesty the King.
This was Ivan's suggestion. There's still considerable controversy and ongoing wrangling regarding investment in and deployment of aircraft to the military.
So Evan proposed taking advantage of the two-day national holiday for George III's birthday to hold a flying competition in Backlund, which would include airships and aircraft.
By pitting airships and aircraft against each other, and showcasing the advantages of aircraft to important figures, it becomes clear that seeing is believing. Once they see the actual effects, the resistance will be greatly reduced.
George III greatly appreciated Irwin's suggestion and even broke with convention by not accepting blessings from foreign envoys at Sodrach Palace, but instead moving his birthday celebration to a larger royal estate near Red Rose Estate.
By doing this, George III was essentially publicly endorsing the aircraft and using his own reputation to gather the elites of Backlund on his birthday.
Regardless of what others thought, Evan almost wanted to call George III "Dad" when he heard the news. It was really awesome. Although George III was also pushing forward with all his might for his own ceremony, he still helped Robert and Evan a lot.
The bottom section of the aircraft report also featured news that Princess Christine Augustus would be announcing her coming of age.
Evan knew about this beforehand; it was all a matter of urgency and necessity.
George III anticipated that, barring unforeseen circumstances, the flying competition held on his birthday would greatly promote reforms in the military system.
However, the accelerated pace of military reform left him with no time to continue testing Robert. He needed to announce Robert's impending marriage to the royal family as soon as possible, which in turn increased the weight of Robert's continued leadership of the military reform.
Recently, the sixth princess, who has been an adult for two years, was officially confirmed to marry into the Fenneport royal family, so the only one who can marry Robert is the youngest princess.
