Chapter 198 My Brother's Friend
The Fifth Age.
A lot has happened during this time.
Xia'er had only heard rumors that the chivalrous Black Emperor had robbed and killed the human trafficker Kapin, looted the villa's wealth, and rescued some poor girls along the way.
Even though "Ince El" has helped the Loen royal family use the undead to build a tomb, the chain of interests behind it cannot be broken so easily.
The "Black Emperor," a figure known for his ruthless thievery, also made headlines for political reasons. Prince Edsack repeatedly condemned this behavior in public and stated that he would definitely investigate it thoroughly. In the end, it was naturally some less-than-honorable minor characters who suffered the consequences.
A genuine investigation is not feasible, as it involves too many people and could easily disrupt the unity within the Rune organization.
Shouting slogans is acceptable.
Although the third prince was hesitant and indecisive towards those above him, he also had pity for those below him, but he dealt a heavy blow to those in the middle and lower classes. Those black-gloved men who did dirty work that he loathed died very smoothly.
Aside from some being tried under Rune's new laws, others were killed by the rogue Black Emperor.
Klein himself had no idea what was going on with those Robin Hood-like thieves and Black Emperors.
This Robin Hood-like outlaw, who was always cleaning up messes, became popular for a while. Despite it being a copycat crime, the authorities seemed to be blind to it, and even the newspapers gave a very consistent account.
This self-directed and self-acted performance, like trying to cover up a debt, completely severed all leads.
This allowed Klein to see his alter ego in the newspaper every morning, claiming he had spent the night "robbing the rich and setting fires."
No one knows that when trying to capture the Black Emperor, there is a very small chance of encountering the real, almost-Black Emperor.
Klein was speechless, but there was nothing he could do. He continued his life as a private investigator as usual, such as accompanying Dr. Allen, who was suspected of being cursed, to visit Will Unsett, only to find that they hadn't arrived.
I used origami cranes to divine my fate last night and dreamt of a little Will hiding from another giant mercury serpent.
The other members have also developed their own paths.
Leonard finally passed the Red Gloves test and followed squad leader Soster to Backlund.
Audrey officially joined the Psychological Alchemy Society and Fors came into contact with her cheap teacher, Dorian (Abraham).
There wasn't much for Shael to do at the Church of the Night.
He simply went to and from get off work every day, and then monitored Mr. Fool's daily life intensely through Arrodes.
Although he transmigrated a bit too early and missed the popular anime series Lord of Mysteries, the archangel who was the audience's guide was already past the age of watching anime.
He now watches "Klein's World" every day, and the real Melissa isn't as cute as the animated version.
She's just an engineering student who doesn't mind the smell of engine oil and gets overjoyed when the mechanical turtle she made comes to life.
If Melissa were to actually join the Mechanical Church, she would probably be very popular.
Chael had also dealt with the Steam Church quite a bit. Although the Steam Church also believed in gender equality, there weren't many women in it.
If a somewhat timid girl like Melissa, who could resonate with the "engineering guy" brainwaves of the Steam Church, joined...
The care she received from her seniors... without exaggeration... was more than what her own brother, Klein, gave her.
She not only provides positive emotional value to the steam enthusiasts of the Steam Church, but she is also genuinely passionate, eager to learn, and truly talented.
Shael only mentioned it to Captain Ikonser Bernard during a private dinner, and this butler, who was of excellent character, showed great interest.
When Charles went to Congressman Macht’s house for various banquets, he also mentioned Melissa’s name to Mr. Portland Momont, who also lived on that street.
This is an academician of the Royal Academy of Sciences of Rune. Putting aside the seven lights of the spirit world and "non-human beings" like Emperor Roselle, he is already a leader among humans in the scientific community.
He is about to become the dean of Backlund Technical College.
He was a believer in the Steam Church, an unofficial member, and embarked on an extraordinary path.
If Xia Er mentions it, Melissa will be more likely to get attention.
This is, after all, a university with a promising future, and there are countless talented students here. Ordinary talents are not particularly noticeable.
Although Melissa has a resilient personality, she is not particularly lively or outgoing. It is enough for Chael to mention it so that her efforts can be better recognized.
She doesn't need any extra care.
This girl looks like the model younger sister who can support two "useless older brothers" after graduation.
While watching a live stream one day, Xia Er felt that something was missing from Mr. Fool's side, so he looked at his own mirror, which was broadcasting live.
Arrodes understood instantly!
It also enjoys supporting "newcomers".
Therefore...
"My esteemed master, your loyal servant Arodes is at your service."
Klein, looking quite fresh-faced, met the very useful Arods.
He once thought that the mirror's humility must mean it had discovered something about his uniqueness as a "fool".
Needless to say, the power of this magic mirror is immense.
After being threatened by the Apostle of Desire, Klein, who wanted to take advantage of the situation, thought of this mirror.
Thus, the Sequence 5 of the Demon Path, 'Jason Belial', was created.
Klein stared at the unaware 'demon' reflected in the mirror and fell silent.
October 12th, Thursday.
Duke Negan was assassinated by the Apostle of Desire.
Although the Duke of Negan was not necessarily going to die under the current political circumstances, he still died, perhaps because the Twilight Hermit felt the atmosphere had just reached that point.
Jason Beria immediately fled into the sewers.
Even though the deceased was an important believer of the Storm Church, and the assassination occurred near the Cathedral of Holy Wind, the Storm Church should have been the one to handle the aftermath. However, the Night Watchman still received the mission.
This time, Leonard's team was in charge of the operation. Leonard was wearing the Sealed Artifact 1-42, which was able to effectively pinpoint the enemy's location.
This is, after all, a high-level sealed artifact from the Warrior path.
Shael was originally following behind, but halfway through, he heard some noises and then led his men to change direction to try to flank them. He used his ability to hide in the shadows and transform into flesh and blood to easily shake off the group of normal people from the Church of the Night and block the 'Black Emperor' who had completed the kill achievement.
The scattered tarot cards on the ground were enough to prove the other person's identity.
"you..."
Xia Er wanted to be polite, but the figure in front of her simply vanished.
Klein didn't even look at who was blocking his way. Ever since he was caught by Huang Beibei last time, his vigilance had been at its peak.
Regardless of who's blocking his way or whether he can win, it doesn't matter; Krishnamurti simply "returns to base."
"It can't be that bad, can it?"
Even Xia'er was completely baffled by Klein's "crashing" issue.
There aren't that many mysterious queens in this world.
He originally intended to use his position as a deacon of the Church of the Night to invite "Black Emperor the Thief" to become an informant for the Church of the Night, giving Klein a chance to slowly reintegrate into the system.
What should we do now?
