Mystery: Survival from the Secret Doll

Chapter 398 397 Father, I have a request

That poem?
Klein frowned, and as a Sequence 6, his spiritual intuition reminded him of the prophetic verses Leonard had once written to him.

but……

"Never believe a single word a fraudster says."

Mr. Flamel's words echoed in his ears. Klein held his breath, merged with the Black Emperor card, and stood in the mysterious space above the gray fog. Through the paper doll substitute, he leveraged the power of this mysterious space to eliminate the clone of Amon hidden in Derrick.

"That poem..."

Klein took a deep breath, frowned, and began to think.

-

Backlund.

Inside the estate where Prince Edsak Augustus resides.

Mayor Jagiel of Tingen observed with great interest this sufficiently 'vast' land, no longer one of darkness, storms, and the red moon.

Compared to the superficial 'prosperity' and 'thriving' of Tingen, the people, events, and things in this city are more in line with the history of human civilization in Jagates' fragmented memories.

"His Highness is waiting for you."

Edsack's butler spoke respectfully to the mayor of Tingen.

As one of the few cities in the Kingdom of Rune with a high degree of autonomy and free from interference from the church and the royal family, Mayor Agates of Tingen City possesses both apparent power and hidden capabilities that are worthy of serious consideration by a prince who is not currently qualified to inherit the throne.

Argates smiled gently at the butler, who led the way to the prince who had returned from the hunting grounds in the suburbs.

Prince Edsak Augustus had a round face and narrow eyes. Unlike his father, he was not serious at all, but always had a smile on his face, and was young and energetic.

A lively child, especially in the eyes of the elderly, always carries a certain special significance.

"I was unaware of your visit; I have failed to greet you properly."

"I just suddenly got interested, and if it's presumptuous of me, then it should be my fault."

Yagici chuckled, chatting casually with the third prince while carefully observing the 'stars' on the other's body.

A qualified astrologer can not only observe the direction of fate through the stars in the night sky, but also understand the person who reveals their true self and the star they are associated with, thus obtaining the correct divination result.

William I has entrusted everything concerning Edsac Augustus's future to the city of Tingen. For Tang, the necessary planning and strategy are essential, but Edsac cannot be allowed to act arbitrarily according to his own will.

If necessary, the only option is to let the prince die.

Therefore, intervention and intervention are essential.

"However... there's no sign of the witch. Hasn't that witch come looking for Edsac Augustus?"

The fact that their fates did not intersect surprised Jagates. During his conversation with Edsack Augustus, Jagates' gaze swept across a window not far away and saw the world behind the glass, or more accurately, the mirror.

The world behind the mirror is a collection of countless spaces and doors. For those at the higher levels of the apprentice path, they can also pass through the layers of the world behind the mirror without the aid of external forces, just like the high-ranking witches.

"There was no trace of the witch either."

This discovery surprised Jagates, who had some understanding of the current situation.

Not long after, he resigned and left Prince Edsack's estate.

As the mayor of Tingen, his status in Backlund, while not allowing him to act with impunity, certainly commanded the utmost respect from most nobles and officials. Those who understood the powerful forces behind Tingen were quite shrewd; although they misused their influence, it still brought them considerable benefits.

"Let's go back."

After saying a few words to the coachman of the secret couple, Agates rubbed his temples and closed his eyes to rest.

The carriage traveled on the road without incident.

Upon returning to their lodgings—or rather, the Queens residence essentially inhabited by cryptids—Agates saw Don fiddling with a die in the lobby. "What are you seeing?"

Tang Jianya Gates returned, stuffed the dice into the system space, stood up, and patted off non-existent dust from his pants.

"That child clearly doesn't know anything about the witch."

"Brooks has eliminated the Witch Church's influence in Backlund. With no hostages being held against the royal family, it's normal for Triss Chick not to make any rash contact with Edsack."

He wasn't quite clear on the logic behind it.

It couldn't be that hesitant to return home, could it?

"It seems you already have a plan."

"Jagates said."

Tang exclaimed "Ah!" and replied with a smile, "Compared to this, Mr. 'Door,' what do you think now?"

Argates tilted his head slightly, carefully recalling his feelings, and slowly said:

"For me, being able to leave that place, even for just a minute, is a pleasure."

Tang nodded. "It seems that it still needs improvement."

After all, this was the first time Tang had done such a graft, allowing a fragmented spirit to possess a puppet. He needed experience and time to figure it out.

"Acting as Agates in the Northern Continent, at some point in the future, he will become part of the 'Gate's' ascension ritual, using this 'mistake' to advance to Sequence 0. I wonder what the Fallen Mother Goddess will do then..."

After all, Mr. Door's true form is currently being controlled by the Goddess of Night, the Lord of Storms, and himself.

It's getting increasingly out of control.

The shouts became more and more frequent and increasingly malicious, sending chills down one's spine.

Tang looked up, peering through the ceiling above him, and squinted at the bright, sunny sky.

In his field of vision, he could clearly see the crimson moon hanging in the sky, and he could feel its filthy, decadent aura even through the barrier.

"After all, I am now the master of the Source Castle. With the Spirit World and reality completely overlapping, it is quite normal for me to sense the Fallen Mother Goddess who has the symbol of the pillar of 'reality'."

Tang's eyes darted around, and his gaze swept over his feet again.

-

That night, under the red moon.

South Bridge District, Rose Street, Harvest Church.

When Tang entered, the tall Bishop Utravsky was wiping the candlesticks.

Upon seeing the visitor, Bishop Utravsky stopped what he was doing, stood up, and performed the proper clerical greeting of the Church of Mother Earth towards Tang.

“Father, I have a request.”

Tang walked up to the Holy Radiance of the Earth Mother and spoke to Bishop Utravsky.

"Yes, a kind mother will always be eager to help her lost child."

Lilith is terrifying.

Tang's lips twitched slightly, then he quickly revealed his purpose: "As a chosen one of the Church of the Earth Mother Goddess, I want you to join a secret gathering."

"This is also what my mother wanted; as her representative, I joined in."
