Chapter 356 Q&A
Ten minutes later, several figures walked into Count Wolfe’s mansion.

There were two men in the lead. The man who walked quickly to the top had a face so old-fashioned that it made people feel cold all over. Order and majesty were fully displayed on his face.

If Klein was present, he would have noticed that this middle-aged man looked somewhat similar to the portrait on his favorite five-pound note.

The black robe he wore was marked with a coat of arms. The main body of the coat of arms was a sword pointing vertically downwards, and on the handle of the sword was a red crown, representing the “Sword of Judgment” of the Augustus family, the royal family of the Kingdom of Loen.

The man looked at the distraught Amyrius, frowned slightly, and reprimanded him coldly.

“How dignified is that?”

Amyrius came back to his senses from the chaos, and when he saw the person coming, he lowered his head with his lips moving and knelt on one knee.

“It happened suddenly, and I was unable to prevent it… I am very sorry, Your Highness Drinker.”

Drinker Augustus, the former Duke of Southwell of the Kingdom of Loen, is also an extremely powerful Beyonder. He is Sequence 2 of the Arbitrator Path—Balancer.

An angel walking on earth can be called a divine being even in the distant mythological era!
Drinker glanced at the crime scene, sweeping his eyes over the guests who were shocked by his appearance, pausing for a moment on Ambassador Baker’s body, and finally stopping at the deacons of the three major churches.

His gaze was so sharp that it seemed substantial. The three deacons who were present but failed to prevent the case from happening felt a terrifying pressure falling on them. Their breathing became rapid and sweat broke out on their foreheads.

“It’s still a step too late.”

A chant-like sigh sounded behind Drink, bringing a gentle breeze and disrupting the order and dignity.

The person who sighed was wearing a black robe with a storm symbol embroidered on it and had a square face. He was Archbishop Snake, the “Singer of God” of the Holy Wind Cathedral of the Church of the Storm in Backlund.

When has your Storm Church ever been in time?
Drink Augustus snorted in disgust, then withdrew his gaze, considering the Goddess of Night, the Lord of Storms, and the God of Steam and Machinery behind the three deacons.

“Tell me what happened.”

As he spoke, several extraordinary people with military temperaments behind him began to clean up the mess, comforting the frightened guests and taking them away from the mansion to wash up and rest.

Amyrius managed to control his emotions and respectfully recounted his experience.

“He has a great degree of immunity to the law, the ability to control the flow of time, and the extraordinary characteristics that can take away a demigod… There shouldn’t be a saint with such characteristics in the Aurora Society.”

Drinker’s frown deepened; these features were more consistent with another terrifying being.

The second son of the ancient sun god, Amon the Blasphemer, is the apex of the current thief’s path, or the wrong path. The authority possessed by this angel of time is just enough to deal with what is happening.

Errors can make the clone equal to the original body and obtain the status of the King of Angels. The “Law” will naturally be greatly reduced in the face of a higher-level person. Time can be accelerated, reversed, and stopped, which is in line with the situation of Amyrius being controlled. Stealing the characteristics of a controlled and unable to resist Sequence 4 Beyonder with a high status is not difficult.

But there seems to be no reason for Amon to do such a thing…

Drinker was silent for a moment, then he stretched out his right hand and waved it downwards, and a layer of brass-colored luster swept across the entire mansion.

The light faded and nothing changed.

Without someone in hiding, the occult connection to the crime has been severed, and it is estimated that it would be difficult to identify the murderer through methods such as divination.

“Perhaps…the Church of Steam can help.”

The “Astrologer” who was affiliated with the Mechanical Heart of the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery and had not participated in the battle spoke hesitantly:
“The Church of Steam has a sealed object with extremely powerful divination abilities. It has very high accuracy and precision. Perhaps it can help us find the whereabouts of the murderer.”

It is easy to cause social death to the person who asks the question, which is a bit tiring.

“It’s worth a try, thanks.”

Drinker nodded slightly and glanced at Amyrius again.

“Take care of yourself. The merits you have accumulated in the Central Sonia Sea over the years are enough to buy another potion and start over.”

Amyrius closed his eyes and nodded in humiliation.

“Yes, Your Highness.”

……

The next day, early morning.

In the apartment in the Zoude District, Luke lay lazily on the bed, his right foot resting on his left foot in front of the desk. Xio, who had gotten up long ago, was holding a piece of bread and quickly reading the Backlund Morning News.

《Count Wolfe’s mansion caught fire, Intis’s ambassador to the Kingdom of Loen, Beckran, was killed! 》

“Will the death of the diplomat cause the two countries to become enemies? What is the future of the Kingdom of Loen?”

A gross dereliction of duty!

《A total of seventeen gentlemen and ladies were affected and seriously frightened, and Admiral Amyrius was injured! 》

《The Aurora Society declares itself responsible for this matter! 》

《Wanted murderer, reward of 200,000 pounds!》

On the newspaper that smells of ink, an enlarged portrait is published in a prominent position, occupying nearly one-third of the entire newspaper.

Xio couldn’t help but sigh as he looked at the newspaper: “When did the public security in Backlund become so chaotic? People from a secret organization actually dared to assassinate the ambassador.”

The death of an ambassador could be insignificant or it could shock the entire northern continent. The severity of the incident depended on whether Intis was willing to make a fuss about it.

But this is an excuse that can be exploited. Intis is in the moral position on the surface, and it will be more legitimate if a war really breaks out in the future.

Although the relationship between the two countries is not bad enough to start a war, the initiative in the hands of the other side will inevitably make the Kingdom of Loen feel threatened, which will bring about a series of subsequent impacts.

Thinking of this, Xio always had the illusion that a storm was about to come.

Lu Ke rolled his eyes and said noncommittally, “The people of the Aurora Society are indeed devoted to their Lord. The Secret Prayers and the Singers are very brainwashing. Ninety-nine percent of them are fanatics. Be careful if you encounter them when you go out.”

After being promoted to “Sheriff”, Hugh became busier than usual.

If the “arbitrator” is passive and waits for the two parties who need arbitration to come to him for help, then the “sheriff” must take the initiative to maintain stability in an area.

“I know. Don’t worry about me.”

Xio smiled and touched the hairpin on his head, “With the seal you gave me, I can run away even if I can’t beat him.”

The witch’s light body combined with invisibility and mirror substitute are all very practical life-saving abilities.

At this point, she couldn’t help but fantasize, “The murderer in the newspaper actually has a reward of 8 pounds. If I meet him…” The arbitrator has possessed super investigative capabilities since Sequence “Sheriff”. He can remember everyone he has met. This ability will be magnified in the jurisdiction he governs, and his tracking and arrest capabilities are still very strong.

Lu Ke became interested. The ambassador was only worth five pounds when alive, but his value increased by 40,000 times after his death. The ambassador was really a good financial product.

“What would you do if you met him?”

Xio replied as a matter of course: “Of course I’ll catch him and exchange him for money. Two hundred thousand pounds!”

Luke shook his head in amusement, “You can’t catch a prisoner worth two hundred thousand pounds.”

He paused, “But at night I can pretend to be the prisoner, and then you can catch the prisoner. Well… you may also be caught by the prisoner, and then be humiliated and bullied by the prisoner in various ways.”

“…”

Xio’s face turned red when she heard about this novel way of playing. She bit her lip and gave Lu Ke a cold look. Without even saying “I’m going out” she ran out in a panic.

A few seconds later, the sound of a door closing was heard outside.

“We’ve known each other for so many times, I’m giving you a chance to digest it.”

Luke muttered, having just committed a serious crime and being of a very high status, if Xio were to catch him as a “sheriff”, the potion would surely be digested instantly.

He didn’t mind making some sacrifices for Hugh.

As for Xio’s opinion, although he was embarrassed to show it, the 1.5-meter-tall, tense man was quite keen on that kind of thing. Every time he made an excessive request, Xio would be reserved and not respond at first, but would be very cooperative when it really started.

Lu Ke lay back down on the bed, resting in the sunshine and closing his eyes to rest for a while.

During this period, the team he secretly eroded started from Baron Larry, first the low-key barons with little money or power, and then the barons who were slightly better off. Recently, he has begun to take action against some viscounts who are not doing well.

But it’s not safe enough to go any higher.

Those powerful people with enough weight, those earls, dukes, and marquis who have a lot of wealth and connections will be more or less noticed by the members of the “Psychological Alchemy Society” and by those “audiences”.

If Lu Ke relied on his position to do whatever he wanted and conquer by force, then the “audience” was a silent invasion.

Many extraordinary people in the “audience” path do not even actively use spiritual tampering. Only words and slight guidance and hints can stir up the storm, influence the situation, and change the direction of events.

If it weren’t necessary, Luke wouldn’t be very willing to face the pinnacle of the audience’s current path, the angel king “Adam” who inherited the divinity of the “ancient sun god”.

At least not at this stage.

Lu Ke shook his head, temporarily giving up his control over the situation and focusing on improving his strength.

The gains from this assassination were quite great. Not counting the guaranteed “Magician” extraordinary trait, he also possessed extraordinary traits from sequence 9 to sequence 6 of the “Hunter” pathway, and a sequence “Lawmancer” of the “Arbitrator” pathway.

The “Lawmaster” doesn’t quite fit him, and Xio is still some distance away from Sequence 6, so for now he can make it into a Sealed Item. As for the Beyonder characteristics of Sequence , he still prefers the “Witch of Pleasure”.

The “conspirator” is in line with what he is planning to do, but if the process is not advanced, he can only passively digest it. As for the “witch of pleasure”, if the number of times he has pleasured in different worlds is counted, the “witch of pleasure” melts in his mouth, and it is enjoyable enough even without counting the digestion process.

Lu Ke’s heart was burning with enthusiasm. In addition, the “Mystic Instructor” prepared by Sequence Five also melted in his mouth. He could even prepare the Beyonder characteristics of Sequence Four and gain divinity.

After becoming a demigod, the power that one can carry from one’s original body will undergo a qualitative change, and in times of crisis, one can also become a temporary vessel for God’s descent.

Well… a Sequence 4 God’s Container, even if this body was separated from him and has enough special features, it is still not strong enough and may be used or discarded. A Sequence 3 one can be controlled, and if it becomes an angel, it will truly be a qualified God’s Container.

Luke thought for a moment, set up the spiritual wall, and took out an unknown substance with a pink smell.

The extraordinary characteristics of the “Pleasure Witch”!
“No loss guaranteed.”

Lu Ke poured himself a glass of red wine with a sense of ritual, incorporating the extraordinary characteristics of the “Witch of Joy” into it, and drank it all in one gulp.

After a brief pause, Luke felt a tearing pain, and some force began to tamper with every part of his body from the inside out.

He walked to the mirror and saw that his short black hair began to grow wildly. Soon it was past his shoulders, and then it seemed to be supported by an invisible force, floating up and extending in all directions.

The hair became more and more numerous, denser and longer, and more and more fuzzy, quickly filling the area surrounded by the “spiritual wall” like a primeval forest composed of fine threads.

His body began to shrink inwards, his strong male skeleton was adjusted into a female outline, his already fair skin seemed to be shimmering with a sticky sheen, his facial features became softer, his feminine features began to emerge, while others began to fade.

The figure in the mirror suddenly became illusory and hazy, as if something wanted to be born, but it could not take shape. As Lu Ke’s extraordinary characteristics were integrated into the mirror, tiny cracks suddenly appeared.

The cracks continued to spread, and finally with a “click”, they completely shattered and scattered powerlessly around the room.

Luke thought, “The person in the mirror?”

The witch path begins at the witch stage, and will create a “mirror person” who retains her original appearance in the mirror world dominated by the “original witch”.

There is a deep mystical connection between the “man in the mirror” and the original body, and it is also the source of the witch’s “mirror substitute”. Every time she dies, the “man in the mirror” comes to replace her.

However, this time it seems that because Lu Ke’s status is too high and he represents the “unknown”, the mirror world cannot be replicated.

……

Backlund, Saint Hillran Church.

The corners of Ikanser Bernard’s mouth twitched, and he covered his face and glared at his colleagues who kept apologizing.

“Could you please not just agree to use this Sealing Artifact for me?”

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry. The main reason is that I didn’t play any role at the scene. You know that the generalists don’t have much combat power in the early stage. I want to make up for my sins…”

“Your way of atonement is to let me use the Sealed Artifact for you?”

“sorry.”

The “astrologer” apologized sincerely, “How about this, I will be your audience, and I will keep all questions confidential no matter what Arrodes asks.”

“This is what you should do.”

Yikanse took a deep breath and took out a silver mirror with ancient patterns. There was an eye-like decoration on each side of the mirror. They were based on black gemstones and looked deep and charming.

“Dear Arrodes, my question is, who killed Ambassador Beckeron?”
