Towards the God of the Starry SkyChapter 431 Towards the Starry Sky God

Continuous rain fell from the sky of Trier, and the soldiers standing at the city gate watched every passerby with vigor and vigor - this was the order of His Majesty the Emperor, to inspect everyone who entered Trier. It was the highest honor to be able to carry out this order and go to the kingdom of the gods after death.

However, in the air that was moist due to the rain, two figures quietly walked through the city gate. They walked past the soldiers in a swagger, but no one noticed that they had just passed by here.

"Mr. World, what exactly are you investigating?"

Audrey's small nose moved, and she smelled a bit of stench in the rain. The senses of a demigod were beyond ordinary people, and this was not the ordinary smell of drunkard's vomit and garbage mixed together, but another unnatural smell.

Audrey looked at the surrounding scene with her emerald eyes that looked like bright gemstones. This was Trier, where laughter and tears converged. However, in Audrey's eyes, the scene here seemed out of tune with Rune.

So she subconsciously looked up at Mr. "World" beside her, but saw the same surprise flashing in the brown eyes of "World".

What happened to Mr. World? Audrey vaguely sensed something was wrong, and a faint golden glow appeared in the depths of her pupils. The emotions that the World could not help but overflowed from her were immediately deconstructed by her extraordinary abilities in Audrey's mind.

Reminiscence, surprise, regret... But among these complicated emotions, there is no surprise from Mr. World at seeing new things? It seems that Mr. World already knows the current situation in Trier, and his surprise is more like he thinks this scene should not appear here...

Audrey was a little curious: As one of Mr. Fool's followers, where did Mr. World come from?

What was the relationship between the scene in Trier and Mr. World's abnormality?

The street lights around were replaced with brand new metal poles, and no longer needed gas to power the lights. Groups and pieces of lights continued to expand in the distance along Audrey's sight, and next to these lights were stacked buildings.

Most of the buildings were very tall and wide, like rectangular blocks piled up in the city; the houses were strangely shaped, like tombstones. After a long time, Audrey saw Mr. World come back to his senses and sighed deeply.

"...This is?"

Audrey hesitated for a moment, but finally pointed to the lamp next to her that didn't require gas to light up.

"Electric lights." Klein answered. In his eyes, lightning was flowing in the wires under the bases of these street lights. Such technology should never exist in this era.

Thunder, lightning and wind are the powers of the Lord of Storms, which are not powers that the "God of Steam and Machinery" can control - even if the essence of the "Perfect One"'s power is civilization and technology, such a thing is simply impossible to happen when the God of Steam is in a particularly bad state.

So it seems that... Klein stroked his slightly stubbled chin and walked forward while explaining to Audrey, who had a clear look on her face,

"This is a facility that uses the power of lightning to provide energy to ordinary people. It's the same as a gas lamp, but the lightning used is the authority of the Lord of Storms in the sense of mysticism. This shouldn't happen. The Lord of Storms won't allow humans to steal the authority of the gods."

Audrey's eyes widened as she realized something: "Mr. World means..."

"That's right."

Klein answered affirmatively, "This is the work of the God of Truth—He is attacking the Lord of Storms and the God of Steam and Machinery at the same time."

Gao Wei, is this your "gentle" method? Not fighting the God of Steam doesn't mean not letting the God of Steam fight the Lord of Storms, right? Klein clenched his teeth slightly, and a slightly twisted look appeared in his heart, as if he was wearing a mask of pain.

Audrey noticed the complicated look on the face of Mr. World, who had been silent for a moment, and said to him cautiously,

"Do we need to investigate what the God of Truth is doing now? After all, He is an ally of Mr. Fool."

Klein turned his head and looked at the dim light in the rain shining on Audrey's profile. He nodded slowly,

"We need to investigate."

"I'm not sure what Mr. Fool's allies are trying to do. While Mr. Fool needs to do his best to face Amon, we need to investigate anything that needs to be investigated."

Klein stared into Audrey's emerald eyes, not sure whether he was warning Audrey or himself: "In the minds of mythical creatures, cooperation between the two is always based on interests rather than friendship."

…

"You've also recently believed in that, that thing that wants to travel to the starry sky... If you must say it, it can be called a cult!"

A young man in ordinary clothes said to a classmate on the side, with a nervous look on his face, while his classmate shook his head:

"The Lord doesn't care."

"I still believe in the 'God of Truth' - this is not a cult, right? He is just the incarnation of the God of Truth." The student being questioned said solemnly:

"Or according to the church's definition, what I believe in is just an idea, why is it a cult?"

"Although the official authorities have not stated it, the Church of Steam has defined this as a cult." He said with a strange expression, "Ah, Steam God, what on earth is going on here..."

"But what I've always pursued is the truth, right?" The student spoke a little louder, and when he saw people sitting nearby looking at them sideways, he calmed down and said, "Oh, sorry, I'm a little excited."

The student who believed in steam also gave in and did not continue to argue with his partner. However, after a moment, he still felt itchy, but this time before he could take his eyes off the book, a young man in a white suit with a serious look gently tapped the table with his middle and index fingers.

Although the voice was light, it made the two people who had been arguing just now look up at the same time and look at the young man.

The metal nameplate on the young man's chest flashed with a sharp light; on the nameplate were written the following words: "Librarian: Gorvi Cecil".

However, there were two reasons that prevented the two of them from speaking. One was the gold-plated badge on his chest, which represented his identity as the principal of the school.

The second is His name and appearance: He is the second emperor in Trier, the consul who takes over all the powers in the world on behalf of the "Emperor". At the same time, He is also a real angel on earth, a fellow countryman of the "Emperor" and a follower of truth.

"Please keep quiet in the library. If you want to discuss something, there is a discussion room next to it." Gao Wei pushed the gold-rimmed glasses on his eye sockets and said, "The discussion room has good sound insulation. You can go there."

How could His Majesty be here... The student who believed in steam opened his mouth and looked at his companions who were asking the principal persistently and respectfully:

"Sir, I would like to ask you a question."

"Problem? Go ahead." Gao Wei briefly examined the student and said, "Come on, according to the library's rules, we can go to the discussion room next door."

Two dull and one brisk footsteps sounded, and the three figures walked farther and farther away. The people who were closer to them raised their heads slightly, and one of them pushed the monocle on his face.

"...Interesting. He chose to corrupt the God of Steam starting with his followers and anchors. Let me guess. Is this to make the anchor of the God of Steam shift?"

"Perhaps, I also need to speed up my arrangements. If Klein plans to wait until the end of the world to fight me, then my chances of winning will be so low that it is difficult to describe. As the Lord of Mysteries' will gradually weakens, his control over Sefirah Castle will gradually increase, and he will eventually suppress me absolutely in terms of status."

"But Klein probably won't do that. Humanity is his biggest weakness. He will never give up on the people on this planet and choose to advance in this way. Oh, he probably has too much humanity."

"It should be difficult for my father to make a choice between me and Klein now. It seems that it is Fate that makes the first move... According to the randomness of Fate, the first Old One might be the Key of Light."

Amon slowly wrote on the note paper on the table in front of him. As he thought, he wrote line after line of words on the paper in front of him:

A fool who does not belong to this era; The Gate of Ten Thousand Doors; A door that does not belong to this era; The Yellow and Black King who controls good luck...

Shuffle, reorganize, and then test each one.

Although Amon knew that Klein had most likely taken protective measures against divination and prayer, as long as he could seize that one in ten thousand chance, Amon would be able to use it to find Klein's true form.

It was just another game of hide-and-seek, similar to the time when he was chasing Pales Zoroast. Amon's clone guessed the honorific name leisurely, and the tip of the pen made a rustling sound as it rubbed against the paper.

In the discussion room on the side, Gao Wei opened the door and turned around to sit on the chair. Two students sat in front of Gao Wei with serious expressions.

"Tell me what problems you have encountered. Don't worry, although I am the messenger of 'Truth', any belief is allowed here. Whether it is 'Emperor', 'God of Truth' or 'God of Steam and Machinery', they are all the correct beliefs of our country. Of course, if you believe in the evil gods that are now on record, I suggest you surrender."

He spoke gently, looking quite kind; however, the two students did not dare to say anything more. After a while, the young man who had asked the question just now spoke:

"I converted to the 'God of Truth' a few days ago. Although the faith is not passed down by His church, these descriptions are also within the first name of the 'God of Truth'."

"Tell me." Gao Wei said calmly and casually. As soon as he opened his mouth, the invisible pressure around him dissipated a lot. The "comfort" of the first level of sequence was quietly released by him, which reduced a lot of psychological pressure on the two young men.

"The number of all things, the God of Holy Light; the Star of Judgment that guides civilization; the embodiment of truth and wisdom." - This is the honorable name announced by the "God of Truth" to the outside world.

"I used to be a devout believer in the 'God of Steam and Machinery'. But a theory gradually spread among the Church of Steam."

The young man was silent for a moment:

"Everything is number - everything can be measured by numbers, whether it is the division of divine power or the progress of civilization. The gods representing numbers will bring us the corresponding trend of the times as civilization progresses. All this will happen in just a dozen years."

"The development of the third-generation differential machine, Loen's ironclad warships, and Feysac's airships all represent the coming of this era. We have conquered the land and the sea, and the next step is the sky."

There was a hint of hope in the young man's eyes: "The starry sky - humans should conquer the sky and head for the starry sky. The Academy of Sciences in Trier has proven that we live on a 'sphere', but what is outside our planet?"

"The God will bring us truth and knowledge and lead us to the stars - He is the God of the Stars, but we have never known the identity of this God."

"Some of us believe that the 'God of the Stars' is the 'God of Steam and Machinery' because the God of Steam once iterated his honorific name in the last era, changing from 'God of Craftsmen' to 'God of Steam and Machinery'."

"Another guess is the 'God of Truth'. This guess believes that the 'God of the Starry Sky' is the incarnation of the 'God of Truth', because the 'God of Truth' suddenly stood on the earth and became the god of Lunburg, a country that originally had a true god."

The young man straightened his chest:

"However, I agree with the second guess."

"Truth is always open to everyone, but the path to truth is always stained with blood." Gao Wei chuckled,

"But your guess may be wrong, because 'truth' is always something that people have to discover for themselves. Practice is the standard for testing truth, not gods. This is what the God of Truth says in his scriptures. It seems you didn't do a good job of research before believing."

The young man's face suddenly turned red.

Seeing that the young man was about to say something, Gao Wei interrupted him and said, "But - your hypothesis is very interesting. This may not be a test given to the world by the Lord. I will confirm the source of this matter with the gods."

He shrugged his shoulders and said, "You can wait for now. We will issue a new version of the precautions in three days at most."

…

After listening to Klein's words, Audrey nodded slowly: "I understand, Mr. World."

"So, what do we need to do now? Do we just start an investigation?"

Klein looked at Audrey, who sounded a little eager, and nodded slightly: "Tell me what you think."

　Finished! Good night toThe Voice of Ordinary PeopleChapter 432 The Voice of Ordinary People

"We are now investigating the changes that have taken place in Trier. In your opinion, all this is related to the God of Truth, right?"

Audrey analyzed. She looked at Klein who nodded slightly and continued,

"I think we need to start from the source of all this. In that case, who changed Trier and made Trier become like this?"

Audrey didn't wait for Klein to speak, but continued her analysis.

"I think we can't just start the investigation from the perspective of the God of Truth. As a true deity, whether through his own authority or the influence of the church, it is unlikely that he will directly infiltrate the power of the true God into every corner of this country. No deity in any era has ever done this."

Audrey's meaning was very clear - although the gods were powerful enough, they would not use their authority to influence the world too much. The way they established their own influence was more through the church, and then with the help of their believers to change the world.

Therefore, Audrey felt that the investigation should start from the source, which would be simpler - at least there would be no need to directly confront the Church of the God of Truth.

"…So, Mr. World, I remember that if we want to investigate the God of Truth, we have to start with these, uh, buildings. After all, what you just came up with is just a guess, isn't it?"

Indeed... This is actually a better solution... Klein nodded slowly. In his previous thoughts, he was actually planning to sneak into the Church of Steam and the Church of Truth to investigate the changes in Trier. Two of the three thrones in this country are gods on Klein's side. At most, he would have to be cautious when facing the "God of Steam and Machinery."

But after being reminded of Audrey's plan, Klein felt that his previous thoughts seemed to have some small flaws: it was true that the High-Dimensional Overlooker and the Black Emperor were on Klein's side, but it was actually difficult for Klein to discover when an Outer God wanted to hide something.

From this perspective, it seems that the more correct solution is to infer what the high-dimensional overwatcher wants to do from some small details.

Although ordinary people who participated in the construction of the city could not possibly know the gods' plans, Klein was able to use the "decryption scholars" provided by Sefirah Castle and had a demigod "audience" by his side, so he was able to find some clues.

However, there is no need to deliberately avoid the church... As long as the true God does not descend, no church can directly oppose me... Klein thought secretly.

The High-Dimensional Overlooker's life and property are now almost tied to Klein, and at most he is just a fence-sitter who will fall without warning. In order to deal with the Outer Gods and return to his own high-dimensional world, the High-Dimensional Overlooker will not hide too much from Klein, and will not do anything too extreme.

——However, this extreme degree is relative to the Outer Gods, so we still need to pay attention.

"You're right, Miss Justice." Klein walked forward, changing his clothes as he walked. These clothes of different styles were illusions that Klein created based on his simple clothes. This was convenient, but would not be noticed by ordinary people.

Klein was wearing a modern-style shirt under the "illusion" clothes he created. Although it was just a self-awareness brought about by a trivial habit, it could also be used to fight against the will of the Lord of Mysteries.

After changing into an expensive-looking outfit, Klein adjusted his collar and changed his tone:

"So, I think we need to start from the most basic level now - to listen to the voice of this city."

Audrey was speechless as she watched Klein walk into a restaurant decorated with machinery and rivets everywhere. She had originally thought that this was a religious ascetic life.

But now it seems otherwise. Audrey felt a little surprised as she watched Klein order the dishes in a gentle voice with a slight Loen accent.

By the way, does Mr. World's travel count as a public-funded trip? Can Mr. Fool really reimburse him for such expenses? Audrey had this thought in her mind.

Under the yellowish light, Audrey's mood became a little calmer - this might just be a psychological suggestion, but it was enough to comfort Audrey. This warm light always makes people feel comfortable, just like humans in the dark ages returning to the place where the bonfire was lit.

"Authentic Intis cuisine - Trier style." Klein cut the steak in the bowl with his knife and fork, and thought that French food looked better. "This is the restaurant of the Steam Church - to be honest, I have never found a restaurant like this before."

"I have never been to Intis." Audrey said awkwardly, "Before, the atmosphere here... well, Intis was not very good. My family never brought me here, but it seems to be much better now."

Another thing Audrey didn't say was that it was generally difficult for Loen nobles to leave the country at that time. Even though Earl Hall was a famous banker, it was difficult for him to compete with the commercial country on the other side in this regard.

And at a time like this, when a noble travels abroad, they have to worry about their personal safety, and they have to be careful about speculation from the court.

The former came from differences in beliefs and political infighting, while the latter came from the king and political enemies. It cannot be said that they were completely forbidden to leave the country, but for a former noble lady like Audrey, she had never been to Intis, and the farthest place she had been to was her family's territory around the Honachis Mountains.

——Of course, the aristocratic atmosphere of Intis also made the ladies of Loen subconsciously unwilling to go here alone.

"Before, there was the influence of the 'Mother Tree of Desire'. Now this Outer God (blocked in Audrey's ears) has been completely expelled from this world. Naturally, the situation here will be much better." Klein sighed for a moment. You have to know that the situation that Huang Tao had to face during the Sequence Five period was already terrible. He had to choose between the "Mother Tree of Desire" and the "Fallen Mother Goddess" to be contaminated...

Klein coughed softly and said, "And I also believe that Mr. Gustav will not make the same mistake again."

"Gustav - ah, I see." Audrey didn't react for a moment. After saying this, she put the small piece of steak wrapped in puff pastry that she had just carefully cut into her mouth.

After chewing it carefully, she spoke again:

"This is much better than the previous situation. Every god is preparing for the end of the world..."

An invisible and unknowable "echo wall" was erected beside the two of them. With the clever use of Klein, the Sequence One Angel King, the two people's voices were blocked in one direction. To others, it looked like two somewhat dull Loen people were quietly savoring the food, which attracted the attention of some diners and waiters.

Audrey put down the silver fork in her hand and said, "Mr. World, then we are not here just to enjoy the food, right?"

"Of course not. Mythical creatures no longer need to eat to sustain our lives." Klein snapped his fingers. "Enjoying delicious food is just a byproduct. What we need to do is to quietly listen to the thoughts of the Trier people and find the part that we need."

"However, you now need to take a good look at yourself. In your first two sequences, you have witnessed corruption with your own eyes and could only watch it. This is obviously not a correct concept for a 'manipulator' who is supposed to analyze human nature."

Klein chuckled and said, "Although there is suffering everywhere you look, I still hope that you can enjoy life as you move forward."

Audrey lowered her head and uttered a deep "Oh". She stared at the diners in the distance, her mind wandering, and she "smelled" the scent emanating from their subconscious.

Under the depravity that almost everyone has, there are colorful colors exposed. Audrey carefully felt the emotions in it, and two or three dragon scales appeared on her face involuntarily.

But at this moment, the emotion of unity that Audrey felt at the promotion ceremony resurfaced and suppressed the complicated thoughts in Audrey's mind. This made Audrey slowly come back to her senses and watch the dark depravity melt in the five-color desire.

"… Sorry, I was a little distracted. What I see now is… definitely different from what I saw before."

Audrey looked at the "world" opposite her, calmly staring at her, and spoke slowly.

"It doesn't matter." Klein shook his head slowly. "This is just a side effect of changing your path. There is always a price to pay for gaining abilities that don't belong to your own path. It's already precious that you can achieve this with such a small price."

Klein paused and spoke again:

"So what did you 'hear'?"

"I heard their conversation—" Audrey answered subconsciously: "In such a conversation, everyone has different hidden intentions. Some of them are grateful for the government's construction, while others are afraid of the punishment from the Lord of Storms—they think that Intis is stealing the authority of the gods of neighboring countries by doing this."

Life is full of different things... Audrey's mind suddenly flashed through a sentence in the popular book "The Emperor's Sacred Words: Thus Spoke Emperor Gustav" in Intis and Loen that explained what Roselle said. However, when Audrey's eyes slightly shifted, she saw an unusual "thought".

"——However, there seems to be a believer of the 'Mother Tree of Desire' here, and he is very dissatisfied with the current state of Trier."

Audrey looked at Klein and said that she had found a follower of the Mother Tree of Desire who had not been caught. Klein was silent for a moment, then hooked his finger, and the thought that Audrey sensed disappeared immediately.

How boring... Audrey pursed her lips and continued,

"I also heard that some of them believe that this is a gift from the God of Steam and Machinery - and indeed a lot of the infrastructure construction came from the guidance of the Church of Steam."

At this point, Audrey opened her mouth and looked at Klein beside her in surprise: "This seems to be a little different from what we expected."

"The guidance of the Steam Church…" Klein's eyebrows knitted together. "It's unlikely that this deity would take the initiative to do this. We may need a more detailed investigation: We need to investigate who exactly is pushing the Steam Church to build Trier."

Considering that parts of the "River of Eternal Darkness" and the "City of Disaster" have already leaked out of the seal of the Heavenly Venerable, then the "Wilderness of Knowledge" is not impossible - but if that's the case, it would be really fun.

Under the erosion of one source, it is unclear what this country will become.

Seeing Klein lost in thought, Audrey slowly enjoyed the ice cream that was served to her while waiting. Audrey saw a little baby next to her staring at the ice cream in her hand, and she thought that he was curious about what it was.

How can a baby eat ice cream?

While humming a song in her heart, Audrey happily put the last bite of ice cream with syrup into her mouth. The moment the ice cream disappeared, the baby next to her cried out "wa", which immediately made the demigod at a loss - but fortunately, the mother of the child next to her quickly began to comfort the child, and the cry soon subsided.

But for some reason, Audrey still felt that the baby's cry was directed at her. After a lot of puzzlement, Audrey raised her head and looked at Mr. World across from her:

"Mr. World, the food is getting cold."

She seemed to notice something, but didn't know whether to speak up.

"Oh… I understand." Klein, who was just thinking about a countermeasure, pressed his temple.

"It seems that things are more troublesome than we thought. No matter what, we have to find out the status of the God of Steam."

Klein adjusted his expression and stood up. "The next thing we need to investigate is the 'Steam Church'. Fortunately, this restaurant is a place frequented by the followers of the 'God of Steam'. We can simply pretend to be followers of steam."

"Haha, then it will be easier to sneak into the Steam Church or do other things…" Klein drew a triangle on his chest and said, "Steam is above, let's go to the church and pray now."

Audrey couldn't help but glance behind Klein. Not far away stood a waiter with a nervous look on his face:

"Mr. World."

"?"

"Have you paid the bill? The waiter over there is watching you. I thought this was a penance and didn't... bring any money."

Audrey's voice was as soft as a mosquito's, and a slight blush of embarrassment appeared on her faceBonovaChapter 433 Bonova

The current changes in Trier are most likely caused by a part of the people in the Steam Church - according to some of those who believe in steam, these are like the untrusted people in the Church of Mother Earth who pushed Trier's administrative planning to change to the current level when the "God of Steam and Machinery" did not respond to the oracle.

But in fact, the main reason why Klein brought Audrey to the restaurant was not this: he could hear the voices of everyone in the city. As early as when he arrived in the city, he had spread his clones all over the city. But Audrey still needed some opportunities to exercise, and the opinions raised by her as an "audience" could also make up for some of Klein's blind spots.

After all, he was still only a human being—despite his authority, Klein was not omniscient and omnipotent.

In Klein's opinion, both the "Wild Knowledge" and the "High-Dimensional Overlooker" can corrupt the devout believers of Steam. However, what Klein is worried about now is not this, but how to pay next.

To be honest, Klein had many ways to solve this problem, but it was embarrassing to ask anyone for money... When Miss Justice said this shyly, Klein felt that he had died socially.

He was silent for a moment and reached inside his coat.

It looked like he was taking money out of his pocket, but in fact he was reaching his hand into a space connected to the small safe of Hermann's clone - he handed it elegantly to the waiter who had been waiting for a long time. Due to his current identity and face, he did not ask for change, but his heart was still bleeding.

"Let's go to the church." Klein said to Audrey in a low and magnetic voice, and helped Miss Justice up from the chair in a gentlemanly manner.

I can only make Mr. Hermann suffer a little longer... Klein suddenly felt a little guilty and apologetic towards his clone.

The waiter on the side also breathed a sigh of relief. He had originally thought that the two Loen people who had eaten without saying a word and had not asked for any service or spoken a word to the waiter were trying to escape the bill. Moreover, when he saw the Loen gentleman stand up and try to leave, the waiter's heart was in his throat.

But now it seems okay. This Loen gentleman is very generous - maybe he has something on his mind? The waiter thought with a slightly gossipy mind, holding the tip in his hand, his face couldn't help but bloom with joy.

Of course, in contrast, Hermann's face suddenly fell as he watched a small portion of the cash he had robbed from the pirates, no, seized after executing the pirates with justice, disappear on the raging sea.

Just as the captain of the passenger ship he rescued was about to become nervous, thinking that the pirate king in front of him wanted to kill them and rob them, Hermann snorted coldly and disappeared on the spot.

…

After enjoying a delicious meal, Klein walked outside with Audrey beside him. He looked normal at the moment, without any embarrassment. Audrey did not mention what happened just now, but felt that Mr. World would also make mistakes in such matters - in her mind, Mr. World's image had undergone some subtle changes.

Klein couldn't help but glance at Audrey. His intuition as a mythical creature told him that Audrey was thinking about something impolite.

Noticing that the "world" beside her was looking at her, Audrey cleared her throat, and after considering her words, she asked Mr. "World" beside her:

"Mr. 'World', are we going directly to the Steam Church now? But, um, I don't have any experience praying to the God of Steam and Machinery."

Audrey was a little worried that she might make a mistake.

"It won't be too troublesome." Klein said casually, "You just need to remember to draw the triangular holy emblem in front of you. Since you are now a rich man, as long as you pay enough money, the church staff will be friendly to you. Wandering merchants are often not very firm in their beliefs, but they are willing to learn after they settle down."

You are so skilled. I really begin to doubt your faith... Audrey's expression suddenly became a little complicated.

But she still nodded: "I understand, but..."

How can I tell her that I didn't bring any money? Audrey was struggling with this when she saw the "world" on the side handing her a wallet that looked like it was made of leather:

"I was careless before. This is a 'space bag'."

"The activity funds that Mr. Fool gave me are connected to this space bag. Now that you have become Mr. Fool's Favored One, you should also have the authority to use Mr. Fool's Favored One funds."

Although a large part of the funds came from you... Klein added silently in his heart.

Audrey was stunned for a moment: "Ah...Okay, I will keep it well."

Klein put away the umbrella in his hand. Many men and women in different clothes walked into Trier's "Steam Church" holding props to protect themselves from the rain.

Klein walked to the wooden bench provided for people who came to pray with ease, as if he had practiced it thousands of times, and gently placed the umbrella on the edge of the armrest next to the chair.

He drew a triangular steam holy emblem on his chest. Then he clenched his hands into fists and placed his thumbs on the center of his forehead. He began to pray devoutly to the God of Steam and Machinery—of course, he was just pretending to pray devoutly.

Audrey on the side didn't react at first, but she made a change in time before the stars appeared on his chest. She imitated Klein and began to pray "devoutly".

While listening to the bishop of the Steam Church explaining the doctrine, Audrey suddenly heard a voice in her ear urging her to open her eyes. When she opened her eyes, she saw that an illusion had been left in the original place. To be more precise, there appeared an avatar with her and Mr. "World" beside her.

"Let's go."

Klein walked forward step by step. The Holy Emblem of Night on his chest emitted a little dark red light. After the Goddess of Night fell into a deep sleep, the light of the Goddess of Night became dim. This was an essential change.

On Klein's body, this badge was made by the Goddess of Night herself and blessed by her own hands. This badge carried a hidden power, although not much, but the status was high enough.

In the spiritual gathering of the foreign god church, this badge was naturally inspired - strictly speaking, the church is the domain of a true God, and in this case, the secret of this badge can even conceal the gaze of the true God.

Because in essence, regardless of whether the current "Goddess of Night" can successfully ascend, the level of "secrets" she possesses has reached the same level as in the old days.

However, the power contained in this badge is destined not to be too much - but now the power of this badge has never been truly consumed.

Because Klein now held a scepter inlaid with a "gemstone". The main body of the scepter was flashing with nine colors of light. These nine colors of light were embedded together in different shapes, giving people a dark illusion.

At the top of the scepter, the color of the "gem" is like the deep sea water, without any other color or light. But when it is shaken, some hidden runes can be seen emerging from it, and now these hidden runes appear on the surface of the gem, emitting a faint glow.

This is the characteristic of the "Mysterious Servant" that Klein stripped away!

With the help of this seal, Klein and Audrey were both covered with a faint dark color. This is the "Mysterious Realm", the prototype of the Kingdom of God.

And in the dark color, there was a hint of mist. The gray-white mist solidified in the air, forming the prototype of a fortress. Klein concealed the aura of the "Source Castle" very well and did not let the power of the source leak out.

After initially merging with the Lord of Mysteries and suppressing the will of the Celestial Lord, Klein was able to actively use the Source Castle, and would not trigger the further awakening of the Celestial Lord's will as long as it did not exceed a certain limit.

Of course, this is also why Klein's use of the Will of the Heavenly Sovereign is still quite limited. At most, he can use the Source Castle to strengthen some abilities that are linked to his status. For example, the "Mysterious Realm" he is using now can be used as a "secret" with the strengthening of the Source Castle, and can even temporarily block the sight of the True God.

However, even with this concealing ability, Klein must find what he wants in a short time. Just like Amon never dared to let his real body come to Backlund, if the "secret" aura appears for a long time, it will also attract the attention of the God of Steam and Machinery, and Klein will be exposed in the direct collision of the power of the true god.

Although the God of Steam and Machinery was in poor condition, this would also lead to unexpected things happening, a result that Klein did not want to see.

Audrey turned her head and stared at Klein silently. Klein's voice emerged in Audrey's mind at the same time:

"Let's go to the Steam Church and investigate directly. I left two clones outside to listen to the believers' voices. With the two of them corroborating each other, we can come to a conclusion that is relatively closer to the truth."

I have also "recorded" the abilities of the audience… Klein laughed, "Now that the God of Steam and Machinery cannot descend, the power I can mobilize is stronger than any angel in this church, so you don't need to worry."

As the King of Angels, especially the King of Angels of the "Door" path, Klein is best at sneaking in and picking locks. However, this time Klein did not investigate the place where the Steam Church sealed the magical items - he wanted to investigate things related to Trier's infrastructure.

After searching through boxes and drawers for a while, Klein finally found what he was looking for. He glanced past the precious collections and turned to look at the documents piled up in the office:

If it was true that what they had just heard in the restaurant was driven by the followers of the God of Steam and Machinery in Trier's administrative planning, then there was a high probability that there was an investigation by the Church of Steam, or even a construction plan for the Church of Steam!

Klein didn't even need to close his eyes to enter the dream. As soon as he thought about it, he directly got the result he wanted to divine.

Audrey on the side also analyzed it and came to a similar conclusion as Klein.

Scenes appeared before Klein one after another. He took a deep breath, and with a calm look, he reached out and pressed his hand on one of the stacks of documents. Suddenly, brand new papers appeared between Klein's fingers. He directly copied these papers that did not have extraordinary powers, so that others would not see any traces of someone's presence.

Klein's spiritual premonition became stronger and stronger. He felt that a certain existence in the astral world was gradually watching him. This existence was in a state of decay and powerlessness, but it still had the essence of a true god.

The God of Steam and Machinery... He has discovered me! The next moment, his honorific name appeared in Klein's mind. With his spiritual power, Klein turned his head and looked in the direction he came from.

He took two steps forward and pulled out the cabinet at the bottom of the shelf next to him. Inside was a silver mirror.

The Mirror of Arrodes...

Klein held the mirror in his hand, and with his other hand he gently tapped the files he had just copied. The files were instantly compressed and flattened, as if they had become as thin as a piece of paper.

Klein rolled up the compressed document and stuffed it into his pocket. He pressed Audrey's shoulder with his free hand, and the two of them immediately disappeared from the real world and entered the spirit world.

Considering that the Astral Plane was the residence of the gods, Klein did not "roam" directly. The God of Steam and Machinery obviously watched him, but did not punish him as an "invader"... This was very interesting.

However, out of respect for the true God, Klein still "traveled" over from the spiritual world and did not do anything else unnecessary.

At the last moment of disappearance, Klein saw a tall, handsome young man with long chestnut hair and blue eyes appear next to the cabinet he had opened. He looked like Russell, but younger and more handsome.

His expression was calm, and there seemed to be no emotion in his eyes. He just nodded slightly to Klein.

To Klein's surprise, his long chestnut hair was tied up.

At the end of his tied hair there is a small black iron crown. This iron crown is tied tightly to his hair like a decorative hairband, making him look particularly cute
