Lord of the Mysteries v7c14 - Sogou MTL

On a steam train bound for the city of Compton in Midsea County.

Klein, dressed as a wandering magician, looked at the young man and his parents across a narrow table where things were placed and said:

"I have two kinds of magic, one is to make your wishes come true, the other is to use a mirror to answer your questions. Of course, the first kind of magic needs to be paid, and the second kind must answer the questions raised by the mirror. Which kind of performance do you want to see? "

The young man with black hair and brown pupils seemed to have received a relatively good education. He looked at his parents sitting next to him and said with a smile:

"My wish is too difficult, or don't bother you.

"Relatively speaking, I am more curious about the mirror that can answer questions."

Crane sighed and shook his head, his left hand turned over, revealing a silver mirror with a black gem on each side that can be put into the sleeve.

"It seems to be antique." The young man across the street commented with great interest and said, "My question is, what is the purpose of my visit to Conston?"

Klein's face appeared street magician common smile, stretched out his right hand to touch the surface of the mirror, quite seriously whispered:

"Mirror Mirror Mirror Mirror, what is the answer to the question?"

After three times in a row, he loosened his right hand and showed the surface of the mirror to the three opposite passengers.

There have been several more silver words on it:

"Get married."

"... magic." The young man and his parents looked each other in the eye, showing an incredible expression.

After they boarded the train, they never mentioned wedding-related topics, nor did they show anything suggestive.

This kind of magic, which does not rely on props and fake audiences, is the first time they have seen it.

"Well, it's time for the mirror to ask questions." Klein smiled and covered his right hand on the surface of the mirror.

"okay." The young man responded curiously.

"Next, let's take a look at what the magic mirror will ask." Klein released his right hand slightly ostentatiously, just like doing a formal magic show.

The silver word on the surface of the mirror has changed and stretched into a complete sentence:

"You prefer your bride to be a woman over 40, right?"

The young man's expression froze, then turned pale and then completely red.

"How is it possible!" He immediately made a rebuttal and couldn't help glancing sideways at his parents, complaining hurriedly, "what a strange problem!"

"… It was joking." Klein smiled apologetically and quickly pressed his right hand to the surface of the mirror, looking like he didn't know this was going to happen.

Then, he loosened his right hand again.

Sure enough, the words on the surface of the mirror changed again:

"How old are you?"

"25 ..." The young man replied cautiously, as if afraid of falling into the trap.

He felt that his parents and the passengers around him had seen some changes in their eyes.

"Well, this magic show is over." Klein smiled and folded up the mirror. "You can try another trick."

As soon as he spoke, the steam train sounded its whistle, which was a sign of coming into the station.

"Sorry, I should get off." Klein took out the gold case pocket watch and took one look at it.

He immediately carried his luggage, followed the crowd of some passengers, left the steam train and came to the platform where the gas lights were not yet on.

This is Belden City in Jianhai County. It is a city that rises from coal mines and declines from coal mines.

For Klein, the biggest significance here is that it was an important node of Forsak's invasion route in the previous world war.

-Mr Sarkozy has a total of three invasion routes, one is to attack the border of the Amanda mountains, trying to break through the land line there, one is from sunia island, attack coastal ports, and try to land, another is to start from the sea, along the main railway invasion to Backlander.

Among them, due to the existence of the Storm Church and the power of the ironclad ships to cooperate with the high-ranking "arbiters", the navies of Fleischer and Feyenoord failed to achieve the expected results and even failed to control the sea power. On the battlefield of the Amndas, the headquarters of the Night Church blocked the attacks one after another until the end of the war and did not fall, leaving Lindong County, East Chester County and other places not directly affected by the baptism of the war fire .

Of the three routes, the only one that succeeded was the Inter-Sea Troops. They combined land and water, captured Conston City, the capital of Inter-Sea County, Lune's second largest city, and then marched eastward and southward to join the Indis in the Backlander Region.

Klein plays a wandering magician. On the one hand, he wants to accumulate wishes, show miracles, digest magic drugs, and improve his strength. On the other hand, he plans to retrace the road of war, and use his eyes, ears, and heart to truly see the trauma of the previous war.

Knowing the secrets of the starry sky and the underground, he can understand the plan of the "goddess of the night" and accept it to some extent, but this does not mean that he will be indifferent to those sacrifices.

At the same time, he also confirmed one thing, that is, even if he failed to prevent George iii from becoming the "black emperor", the world war will still break out, but Ron will have the advantage, and the "goddess of the night "and his allies will directly oppress the" god of war "and force him to seek the help of the" mother earth "step by step.

At that time, the number, intensity and scale of magic wars will surpass the current.

It is for this reason that Klein will wander forward station by station along the Forsak invasion route.

Out of the platform with traces of cannon fodder, he carried a worn suitcase with change of clothes and distinguished the direction, heading for a place that might be a hotel.

At night, he will stroll through the streets of the city and perform magic tricks for people.

After a few steps forward, Klein was inspired and turned his eyes to the end of the street.

There passed a woman in a simple linen robe, a bark belt, long black hair and no shoes or socks.

Arianna!

The bitter monk leader of the dark night church, the earth angel arianna!

How did he get to Berdan? By this time, shouldn't he have returned to the dark monastery of the quiet church? Or was he sent to San Miloon, the capital of Formosa, to preside over the reception of the "Ares Legacy" ? An angel walking on the ground in such a small city will definitely not be simple ... Klein raised his eyebrows slightly in confusion.

He hesitated, and finally decided to ask one thing or two.

It's not that he wants to meddle, but that everyone is in the same city, and no one can escape what really happened.

But this time, arianna has disappeared in the crowd, and as a "secret servant", he makes Klein want to track all have no way, similarly, in the relationship between "secret" things, "magic mirror" Rhodes is also a little helpless.

Klein took a slow breath, thoughtfully turned into the hotel, opened a room and put away his luggage.

After that, he kept the costumes of wandering magicians, took "magic mirror" Rhodes, followed the spiritual intuition of "diviner" and walked all the way to the municipal square of Belden.

There is a sign near the city hall with many notices on it.

Klein saw many people watching, as if a new document had been released, so he drew closer and stood outside the crowd, looking at the log-colored sign.

In the middle of the notice board, a slightly yellow white sheet of paper covered the other notices. The surface was written in black ink and Rune Wen.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I am your new consul.

"Now, I promulgated three new laws:

"First, no creature can leave here without my permission.

"Second, all beings are equal before the law. Even angels can be killed by ordinary people.

"Article 3. Those who commit the following crimes will be severely punished with the maximum death penalty:

"1. Murder;

"2. Stealing;

"3. recite the name of the deity completely;

"4. Sacrifice to evil gods;

"5. Fraud;

"6. Leaking secrets;

"..."

Such a notice… Klein could see that he raised his eyebrows and could detect the problem of those contents without spiritual intuition.

He instinctively turned his mind and tried to bring the spirit back to the "source castle."

However, an invisible force blocked his "leaving" and made him unable to pass through the gray fog.

This ...... Klein eyes slightly narrowed, back a few steps, away from the crowd.

In his view, this degree of abnormality has reached the point of being almost divine.

He had also been unable to return to the "source castle" before, but the main reason was that he did not have time to take the four steps backward, recite the mantra, or was disturbed and blocked by "himself".

In the real sense, only once did external forces make him unable to break away from the real world:

It was in the misty town, a secret world and a strong seal created by the goddess of the night.

Except this time, even the "blasphemer" Amon did not do similar things. Of course, at that time, Amon's main purpose was to force Klein to move the "source castle" and then seize the opportunity to take advantage of loopholes to replace him as the "great master above the spiritual world". Otherwise, the "time angel" could have prevented Klein from returning by stealing ideas.

Who is the new "consul" in Belden ... Is this why Ms. arianna came to Belden? When his thoughts suddenly changed, Klein let the "magic mirror" slip from his wide armband to his left hand.

"What happened?" Klein asked in a low voice.

On the surface of the silver mirror, the water and light waved and slightly white silver words appeared:

"The rules here have been replaced several times. Who did it? It is impossible to know. Great master, you can try to find the" Secret Servant "arianna and learn the truth from him.

"Are you satisfied with my answer?"

Rules Replaced… "Lawyers"? "Arbitrator"? Or is there a "Bug"? Klein raised his head thoughtfully and looked around. He found that the citizens in the square were a little confused. He didn't quite understand why the new notice mentioned angels and why it was necessary to apply and get permission to leave.

The war is over!
