Chapter 371 Extraordinary Gathering Convener, Fors
As time gradually approached the day of George III's national speech, the situation in Backlund became more and more turbulent, chaotic and dangerous.
Pedestrians who got up early in the morning often saw a strange corpse suddenly appearing in the trash can deep in the alley.
The stray dogs and cats living in the dark corners also grew significantly during that period, and they were even too lazy to look at the bread dropped next to the trash can.
The local police department had to spend a lot of energy just to deal with the new strange corpses every day, which led to some hooligans or gangs taking advantage of the opportunity to fish in troubled waters and cause a lot of trouble.
Klein, who had been hiding in the dark, would observe Melissa's movements from time to time.
In such a chaotic situation, various security incidents occurred frequently. In order to save some money, Melissa basically walked to school every time.
This made her easily targeted by criminals, who liked to abduct and kidnap innocent girls the most.
In the past few days, Klein has secretly helped Melissa drive away two waves of malicious criminals.
Originally, the local police would take special care of Benson and Melissa. This was instructed by the Church of the Night, but the recent situation was chaotic and the police force was seriously insufficient, which allowed some malicious criminals to take advantage of the situation.
Although Klein had some complaints about this, he could generally understand it.
He thought that if the situation in Backlund continued to be so chaotic, in order to ensure the safety of Benson and Melissa, he would use Will's ability to send a dream to Leonard and ask him to take good care of Benson and Melissa.
At night, after Klein confirmed that Benson and Melissa were resting, he left the room, changed his new identity, and went to attend an extraordinary party.
This is a newly emerged extraordinary party mainly for exchanging intelligence. If you need to trade, you can also do it on the spot.
The convener of the extraordinary party is not a certain Mr., not a member of the Aurora Society, but a mysterious lady who is covered tightly and is said to be a believer of the stars.
Klein came here for this reason. He has always been very interested in the Star Organization, and always felt that their organization was somewhat similar to his Tarot Club.
They are both the most watched and newly emerged extraordinary organizations in Backlund recently.
The location of the extraordinary gathering tonight is in an abandoned warehouse near the River Bay Avenue between the South Bridge District and the Dock District.
When Klein disguised his identity and appearance and arrived at the extraordinary gathering place tonight, there were already more than a dozen figures here.
A dim chandelier was lit in the center of the warehouse, and other areas were shrouded in darkness. The focus covered by the light was the convener of the extraordinary gathering tonight.
She was wearing a tightly wrapped black robe, a hood similar to that of a magician, and a black scarf on her face. A faint mist covered her true face.
She could only be judged from the sound of her voice and the curves of her body that were revealed that she should be a lady.
Of course, Klein did not rule out that this was a man. After all, the extraordinary world is always full of unexpected things.
It was just that the figure of this lady and the feeling she gave him were a little inexplicably familiar. Could it be that he had seen her before?
Klein suppressed his speculation and found a quiet place where he could hear the mysterious lady's voice clearly.
He had participated in this gathering once. It seemed that there was a powerful extraordinary person watching here, so no matter where the extraordinary people came from, as long as they did not cause trouble, they could come to the gathering, and there was no threshold at all.
"In three days, it will be the time when King George III of Loen will give a national speech. At that time, the entire Backlund will usher in the most chaotic moment. Even if you have never participated in it, as long as you are in Backlund, you will inevitably be affected."
Seeing that the number of people was almost the same, the mysterious lady in the center position, who was watched by everyone, finally spoke, and the first sentence aroused everyone's curiosity.
Klein's heart moved slightly. The other party deliberately emphasized George III's national speech. Did she also know that George III wanted to become a god on this day?
Then what was her purpose?
Soon, someone asked hoarsely: "George III is just an ordinary person. Even if he is the king, how can he affect the extraordinary world?"
The mysterious lady replied calmly: "What if George III is also an extraordinary person?"
In the dark shadows, another person spoke: "Under the strict supervision of the Church of the Night, the Church of the Storm, and the Church of Steam and Machinery, does George III dare to violate the ban so blatantly?"
"Isn't the ban meant to be broken?" The mysterious lady seemed to chuckle.
"But what does this have to do with us?" Someone asked in the dark.
"This is a question you need to think about. I just share some information, but some information is not free to share. I can only say that the true face hidden by George III is far beyond your imagination."
The mysterious lady's words stopped at the point, but gave people a lot of room for imagination.
Past gatherings have proved that what the mysterious lady said is correct, and this time will be no exception.
Klein has been sure that the other party must know the news that George III is going to become a god, and he is not on good terms with George III.
Otherwise, she would not let George III become the focus of everyone's attention at this critical moment.
Her goal should be the same as mine, both of which are to prevent George III from becoming a god.
It seems that the master behind this extraordinary party is Bernadette.
Klein quickly sorted out these things in his mind, and at the same time he breathed a sigh of relief.
Bernadette has already started to act, which will undoubtedly increase the hope of stopping George III from becoming a god.
"You are so presumptuous, don't you take the Loen royal family too seriously?" Someone in the shadows spoke with obvious suppressed anger.
Just by listening to this kind of speech, Klein guessed that the other party was a Beyonder from the Loen royal family.
Before the mysterious lady could speak, someone secretly said sinisterly: "If George III really sneaked into the Beyonder world, then did he take the three major churches seriously?"
After saying this, he added, "Or was George III's behavior of exceeding the ban tacitly approved by the three major churches?"
This remark made the questioner who had suppressed his anger just now speechless instantly. No matter how bold he was, he dared not disrespect the three major churches.
"As far as I know, the three major churches don't know about this, let alone tacitly allow it to happen." Someone secretly spoke in the dark.
Klein guessed that this person might be a member of the three major churches, and that he said this to help the three major churches clear the suspicion of collusion with George III.
People from the Loen royal family, wild extraordinary people, believers from the three major churches, spies from other countries, members of other extraordinary organizations...
Now Klein truly understood why this extraordinary gathering was open to everyone. The purpose was to get all parties involved and then muddy the waters.
Can Bernadette alone shock this place?
He heard a lot of legends about this mysterious queen on the sea. According to his estimation, Bernadette's strength should be around Sequence 3.
With such strength, plus the bounties from various countries on her, why did she dare to act like this in Backlund?
Because of the stars?
Klein's heart sank slightly, and he didn't think about this question anymore, and continued to be a bystander.
In just half an hour, Klein gained a lot of the latest information about Backlund. Someone even directly revealed the identity of a spy from Fussac in public. The person who had spoken for the Loen royal family was also exposed by the people hiding in the dark.
As the organizer, the mysterious lady did not stop these people from exposing each other's secrets. Instead, she watched all this with interest.
When this extraordinary gathering tonight was coming to an end, the mysterious lady spoke again: "Tonight is the last gathering. I hope everyone here can have a good mood in the next few days."
After that, a door opened behind the mysterious lady, and she disappeared under the gaze of everyone.
Portal?
The extraordinary ability of the apprentice path is really useful.
Klein also witnessed the scene of the mysterious lady leaving, thinking that when he was promoted to Sequence 5 Secret Master in the future, he must find an extraordinary person of the apprentice path to make a secret doll.
This way, he can return to Backlund from the sea at any time, which is also very good for escaping.
After a little envy, Klein quietly left the gathering place.
...
After returning to his home, Fors took off the tightly wrapped black robe, took off the hood, pulled open the face towel, sat on the sofa, drank a glass of warm water, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
During this period, she had been following the request of the Sage Lord and went to host extraordinary gatherings. She had to face so many eyes every night, and occasionally act as bait, which was really unbearable for her.
Fortunately, tonight was the last time.
Next, she could rest at home and no longer need to go out to do things.
"You're back? Look at you, it's like you just experienced a life-and-death battle."
Xiu came out of the room and sat next to Fors, playing with the black robe and hood she took off, and then folded them and put them aside.
"Anyway, my mission is over, but how is your progress in finding out the news?" Fors had already started to lie down, and even her voice became weak.
"It's going well. The next few days are the most critical and chaotic time. The wise man said that I can stay at home with you to prevent you from being lonely."
Fors curled his lips and said, "You are lonely. I wish you were not at home."
"Hehe, a woman who says one thing and means another."
Xiu came over and started tickling Fors. The two laughed and played for a while, and Fors received a picture from Mr. Fool in his mind.
It was a picture of a devout believer praying to Mr. Fool.
