Lord of the Mysteries: Yao Guang

"The holy spirit that pursues knowledge; the beacon of the mysterious world; the eyes that peek into fate; the king on the sea; the holy Bernadette Gustave..."

After reciting this honorific name as agreed upon in the action, Bernadette will randomly select a secret mausoleum and attempt to construct a "door" to enter, thereby disrupting George III's ceremony.

Compared to the earth-shattering assassination on Memorial Day Square, this was what Klein really had to do. Although he had given protection to the Magician and Judgment in advance, he did not know how effective the Paper Angel could be and whether it could provide an all-round shielding effect. Even if Klein got the guarantee of safety from the divination results, he did not have much confidence.

So in the end he also contacted Ms. Arianna, the "Servant of Secrets", and received a special paper man bestowed by the goddess. Therefore, the angel that the "Magician" and the "Judgment" saw this time was covered with starlight, and layers of black veil floated around him.

Klein was extremely grateful for this—he had not expected that the Goddess of Night would be so willing to cooperate with his actions.

In Eastchester, outside the mausoleum secretly built by George III, a lady wearing a girlish yellow cake skirt but an old-fashioned black soft hat that did not match her looked indifferent. She stepped out of the void, surrounded by dense pea vines, with her chestnut hair tied into a ball behind her head.

Looking at the mountain wall in front of her, she raised her hand and drew symbols in the air.

However, including Bernadette's actions, they were all just to cover up. The "mysterious queen" was responsible for attracting attention. Of course, if the angels were not able to act quickly enough, she could always use her true abilities to destroy the invaded places.

If George III really did become the Black Emperor, then even if the remains left by Russell Gustav were found, he would never be able to return.

So Bernadette will not hold back. She has already told her partners that once she starts the action, she will definitely give her all.

"I am not here to fight against George III, nor to advance in career, these are things that can fail...but I must prevent the birth of another 'Black Emperor'."

This was just for the possibility of saving her own father.

This is why Klein is most confident about the actions of the "Mysterious Queen".

Meanwhile, near the secret mausoleum in Ahowa County.

An "ancient scholar" approached here quietly and silently under the shelter of secrecy.

Klein had just summoned Ms. Arianna and asked her to protect the people after casting the "Secrecy" spell, and then he teleported here himself.

He did not rashly draw the symbol to open the mausoleum. Instead, he stretched out his right hand and grabbed at the air. With just one try, Klein successfully grabbed his target.

Such good luck was beyond Klein's expectations. He tensed his arms, then retracted them with difficulty, dragging the figure out from the gap in history.

This was a young man with bronze skin, black hair, black eyes, soft features, and a small black mole under his right ear. But unlike the Mr. Azik that Klein knew well, in addition to being younger, his attire was also very special—he wore a dark black robe wrapped with straps and gold threads, and a bird-shaped crown made of gold on his head. This was the son of the "King of Hell" in history, not the teacher that Klein trusted very much when exchanging letters with him.

However, what made Klein feel cold was that although this Sequence 2 Archon of Death had an indifferent expression on his face, he was not as rigid as ordinary historical images.

His eyes moved slightly, and when they fell on Klein, they revealed a gentle and distant look of reminiscence.

This was an unexpected change that Klein had never expected. He looked at the historical projection he had pulled out, his right hand still on Azik Eggers' shoulder.

However, the real Mr. Azik, the "university tutor" he knew, was only at Sequence Three. He should be asleep now, and it is even more impossible for him to place his consciousness on the historical projection!

Before Klein canceled the historical projection, the "Archon of Death" nodded and said, "Let's go. You have things to do, don't you?"

His tone felt very familiar to Klein, and his spiritual intuition did not give him any sense of crisis, as if the person in front of him was just a much younger Mr. Azik.

Klein was confused, so he had no choice but to follow his original idea, pull out his own historical projection, and hide himself in the mist of history. Then in the real world, Klein, who had originally had empty eyes, returned to normal. He brought the angel of the "Death God" sequence closer to the mausoleum. I don't know if this is an unexpected factor in the plan.

Would the appearance of this "Archon of Death" affect Mr. Azik's condition? Why did he, or "Him," have his own consciousness? Klein couldn't figure it out anyway.

Taking out the projection of the metal bottle, Klein was still in a hidden historical projection. He used his spiritual power to attract the glowing blood inside and quickly outlined the cracking symbol he got from "Mr. Door".

After the symbol took shape and an illusory door opened, the two of them walked in immediately.

The "Archon of Death" turned his head again and looked at Klein seriously.

Azik Eggers's eyes even contained Klein's indescribable complex feelings, just like a farewell before leaving, or like a silent last words and instructions.

Klein didn't understand. He just saw a dark green snake rising into the air. Its body grew larger and larger, with white feathers growing between its dark scales, until it turned into a huge shadow that blocked Klein from below.

"I am very happy to see you again, my young student." Klein heard such a voice ringing in his ears.

The feathered serpent god that flew out of the mythology of the southern continent raised his head and opened his eyes from the freezing cold. The moment he spread the broad wings behind him and opened his mouth to speak, pale flames poured out of his mouth like rain, smashing down the entire mausoleum without reservation.

Before Klein retracted his historical projection, he heard that voice again, Mr. Azik's voice:

"But remember, you still have a long way to go, don't give up."

"I'll see you again in the other one."

At this moment, Klein suddenly regretted his action of taking back the historical projection, but he had already seen the figure of Drink Augustus. This Sequence 2 "Balancer" had arrived at the scene, ready to fight against the "Son of the Underworld" who had descended here.

Klein didn't have time to ask what that meant.

Outside Backlund, Ruins No. 1.

A lady with shiny black hair lifted her invisibility. Her round cheeks looked very kind and her features were pretty and sweet. If it weren't for the twisted hatred in her eyes, she might have looked more attractive - but at this moment she still exuded a bewitching charm.

According to the agreement with the mysterious collaborator, Triss approached the ruins. She also took out a small bottle and used the blood inside to draw the symbols she learned from "Mr. Gate".

She resolutely jumped into the illusory door that appeared. George III found and repaired the secret mausoleum built by the "Blood Emperor" Tudor in the Fourth Epoch. However, his behavior of using these mausoleums to prepare his plan to become a god left a hidden danger that few people knew about.

Those were old bones from thousands of years ago. Most of them had been hidden from ordinary people’s sight after the Fifth Epoch True God left the earth—but they still existed.

Triss also knew that her action of contacting "Mr. Gate" under the guidance of a certain existence was a risky one, but her desire for revenge gave her courage, and the other party's attitude was so kind that it was beyond her expectations.

Triss did not agree to the invitation to summon the other party to reality, but only asked for the method to enter these secret tombs. After all, many years ago, the design and sealing of these tombs were the responsibility of "Mr. Gate".

This secret knowledge also came from her reliance on the courage to take revenge on George III. She had no complaints about her fate of becoming a vessel of God's descent. After all, this was one of the few things she could do.

Triss fell into the dark valley. She kissed the sapphire ring on her hand, chanted the name of "Original Witch", and willingly gave up everything she had.
