A steam train running to Conston, Mihai County.
Klein, dressed as a wandering magician, looked at the young man and his parents across the street and said:
There are two types of magic I have. One is to make your wish come true, and the other is to answer your questions with a mirror. Of course, the first type of magic requires payment, and the second type must answer the questions raised by the mirror. Which performance do you want to see?
The young man had black hair and brown eyes, and seemed to have received a good education. He looked at his parents sitting next to him and said with a smile:
My wish is too difficult, so I won’t bother you anymore.
Relatively speaking, I'm even more curious about mirrors that can answer questions.
Klein sighed and shook his head, flipped his left hand and showed a silver mirror that could be placed in the sleeve tube, with a black gem on each side.
It seems to be an antique.The young man opposite commented with interest and said, "My question is, what is my purpose for going to Conston City this time?"
The smile that street magicians usually smile appeared on Klein's face. He stretched out his right hand to stroke the surface of the mirror and whispered quite seriously:
Magic Mirror tells me what the answer is.
After three times in a row, he let go of his right hand and showed the surface of the mirror to the three passengers opposite him.
There are already a few silver words on it:
Go get married.
……magic.The young man looked at each other with his parents, and both showed an incredible expression.
After boarding the train, they never mentioned wedding-related topics, nor did they show objects that can make people think of.
This is the first time they have seen this magic that does not rely on props and fake audiences.
OK, it's time for the mirror to ask a question.Klein smiled and covered his right hand over the surface of the mirror.
OKThe young man responded curiously.
Next, let's see what questions the Magic Mirror will ask.Klein let go of his right hand a little exaggeratedly, just like he was doing a formal magic show.
The silver words on the surface of the mirror have changed and stretched into a complete sentence:
You would rather your bride be a lady over forty, right?
The young man's expression froze, then turned pale, and then turned completely red.
How is that possible!He immediately refuted, and couldn't help but turn his head to look at his parents, and complained quickly, "What a strange question is this!"
...It's kidding.Klein smiled apologetically and quickly pressed his right hand to the surface of the mirror, looking like he didn't know that this would happen beforehand.
Immediately afterwards, he let go of his right hand again.
Sure enough, the text on the surface of the mirror changed again:
How old are you?
25 years old… The young man replied cautiously, as if afraid of falling into the trap.
He felt that his parents and the passengers around him had changed a bit.
OK, this magic show ends here.Klein smiled and put away the mirror, you could try another magic trick.
As soon as he finished speaking, the steam train made a whistle sound, which was a sign that was about to enter the station.
Sorry, it's time for me to get off.Klein took out the gold-shell pocket watch, pressed it and looked at it.
He immediately picked up his luggage, followed the crowd of some passengers, left the steam train, and arrived at the platform where the gas street lights were not on.
This is the city of Beldan in Jianhai County, a city that has risen and declined due to coal mines.
For Klein, the biggest significance here is that it was an important node in the Fsack invasion route in the previous world war.
Fsak had three invasion routes, one was to attack the Ammanda Mountains on the border, trying to break through the land defense line there, one was to set off from Sunia Island, attack the coastal ports, and try to land, and the other was to start at Yujianhai and invade Beckland along the main railway.
Among them, due to the existence of the Storm Church and the power of the ironclad ships and the power of the high arbitrators, the navy of Fsak and Fenerport were unable to achieve the predetermined results and even failed to control the sea power. In the Ammanda Mountains battlefield, the headquarters of the Dark Church blocked waves of attacks and did not fall until the end of the war, which prevented Winter County, East Chester County and other places from being directly baptized by the war.
Among the three routes, the only successful one was the Jianhai troops. They combined water and land to capture Conston, the capital of the Jianhai County, Roon's second largest city, and then advanced all the way southeast to meet with the Intis people in the Beckland region.
Klein plays a wandering magician. On the one hand, he wants to accumulate wishes, show miracles, digest potions, and improve his strength. On the other hand, he plans to re-take the road of war and truly see the trauma caused by previous wars with his eyes, ears and soul.
After knowing the secrets of the stars and the underground, he could understand the plan of the Goddess of the Night and accept it to some extent, but this did not mean that he would 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 would still break out, but Ruon would have the advantage, and the Goddess of the Night and His allies would oppress the God of War head-on, and force him to seek the help of Mother Earth step by step.
At that time, the number, intensity and scale of the gods' battles will surpass the current ones.
For this reason, Klein wandered forward one by one along the Fsack invasion route.
After leaving the platform where there were traces of cannon fodder, he carried a shabby suitcase for changing clothes, distinguished the direction and walked towards a place that might be a hotel.
At night, he will stroll through the streets and alleys of the city and perform wish magic for people.
After walking a few steps forward, Klein was moved by inspiration and turned his eyes to the end of the street.
There was a figure of a woman wearing a simple linen robe, a bark belt, long black hair, and unfit shoes and socks.
Arianna!
The leader of the ascetic church in the night, Arianna, the angel on earth!
How could He come to Beldan?
At this time, shouldn’t He have returned to the night monastery of the Quiet Church?
Or was sent to St. Milon, the capital of Fsac, to preside over the acceptance of God of War Legacy?
It would never be simple for an angel walking on the ground to appear in such a small city... Klein was confused and frowned slightly.
He hesitated for a while, and finally decided to ask for a question.
It’s not that he wants to meddle in other people’s business, but that everyone lives in the same city. No one can escape any accident.
But at this time, Arianna had disappeared into the crowd, and as a secret servant, Crane had no choice but to track it. Similarly, when it comes to secret relationships, Arodes of Magic Mirror was a little powerless.
Klein took a breath slowly, turned around thoughtfully into the hotel, opened a room, and put his luggage away.
Then, he kept the costume of a wandering magician, carried the Magic Mirror Arodes, and followed the spiritual intuition of the diviner, and walked all the way to the municipal square of Beldan City.
There is a sign with many notices posted here near the city hall.
Klein saw many people watching, and it seemed that new documents were released, so he moved closer to the crowd, standing outside the crowd, looking at the log-colored sign.
In the center of the sign, a slightly yellow white paper covered the other notices, with the surface written in black ink and Ruenwen:
Ladies and gentlemen, I am your new consul.
Now, I issue three new laws:
First, no creature can leave here without my permission.
Article 2: All beings are equal before the law, and even angels can be killed by ordinary people.
Article 3: Those who commit the following crimes will be subject to severe punishment and the maximum death penalty:
1. Killing;
2. Stealing;
3. Recite the name of the god in full;
4. Sacrifice to evil gods;
5. Fraud;
6. Leakage;
……
Such an announcement... Klein raised his eyebrows when he saw it, and he could detect that there was something wrong with the content without spiritual intuition.
He instinctively turned his mind and tried to return the spirit body to the Source Castle.
However, an invisible force blocked his departure, allowing him to only contact the gray mist but could not pass through.
This… Klein narrowed his eyes slightly, took a few steps back, and distanced himself from the crowd.
In his opinion, this level of abnormality has reached a level that is almost a god.
He had been unable to return to Source Castle before, but the main reason was that he had no time to go back four steps, recite the mantra, or was interfered with and blocked by himself.
In the true sense, the only thing that can't escape from the real world with external forces is:
It was in the Mist Town where it was a secret world and powerful seal created by the Goddess of the Night.
Apart from this time, even the Blasphemer Amon did not do anything similar. Of course, at that time, Amon's main purpose was to force Crane to induce Source Castle, and then seize the opportunity, exploit loopholes, and replace him as the great master of the spiritual world. Otherwise, this time angel could have completely prevented Crane from returning by stealing thoughts.
Who is the new consul in Beldan City?...Is this why Ms. Arianna came to Beldan City?
As his thoughts changed, Klein let the magic mirror slide from his wide sleeve to his left hand.
What happened?Klein asked in a low voice.
On the surface of the silver mirror, the water sways, and the slightly white silver words appear:
The rules here have been replaced by several rules, and it is impossible to know who did it, great master, you can try to find the 'Secret servant' Arianna to learn the truth from Him.
Are you satisfied with my answer?
The rules are replaced... Lawyer?
Arbitrator?
Or, something went wrong?
Klein raised his head thoughtfully and looked around and found that the citizens in the square were a little confused, not understanding why the new announcement mentioned the angel and why he left and needed to apply and get permission.
The war is over!
Klein, dressed as a wandering magician, looked at the young man and his parents across the street and said:
