Regarding Alice's reminder, Klein decisively ignored the last two sentences.
…Crazy!
Even so, he still accepted Alice's warning. While raising his vigilance, he did not attempt divination.
However, clearly "Eternal Blazing Sun" and "The True Creator" are also True Gods, so why…
This kind of doubt flashed through Klein's heart. He couldn't help but guess Alice's meaning in his heart — at least a True God, what is above a True God?
No, if it were Alice, perhaps she would think like this…
Klein reached out and knocked on the table twice, trying to recall Alice's "logic."
From Sequence 9 counting up to Sequence 1, next is Sequence 0, counting further up, could the Sequence ranks have negative numbers?
However, this isn't something he needs to worry about right now. What he should first figure out is, why would an existence of this level be eyeing him?
Klein looked at this space called "Origin Castle," and reached out to pinch his brow.
It was easy to guess what Alice's warning was about.
The homeless person he spent great effort to find suddenly died, then, those people happened to encounter him, and he happened to be looking for an acting opportunity… such an indescribable coincidence, Klein already had some doubts.
But, the divination result had no problem… Klein slowly furrowed his brows and again recalled Alice's warning — do not divine, not even above Origin Castle.
It can bypass Origin Castle's obstruction?
Even able to interfere with divination above Origin Castle…
This guess gave Klein a shock in his heart. After all, it was the first time he encountered such a situation. In the previous two times divining True Gods, nothing truly went wrong, let alone interference with divination.
What exactly did Alice see?
A dozen seconds later, Klein suddenly had a good idea. He responded to Alice's prayer: "Alice, are you interested in being my bodyguard?"
…
At 6:30 in the evening, Klein confidently arrived at the "Sweet Lemon" bar, found Bilt and Sotos, the initiators of the commission.
He said expressionlessly:
"500 pounds prepaid.
"Then tell me who I need to become."
Bilt couldn't help but show an obvious smile. While motioning for Sotos to go to the safe, he said in a low voice:
"He is the Kingdom's highest naval commander in the Mid-Sonia Sea.
"Admiral Amyrius Rieveldt
"A genuine demigod!"
As soon as the words fell, a startled and inappropriate young girl's voice suddenly rang out: "You guys are letting a tramp play a demigod?"
That voice was muffled, as if something was in her mouth. Apart from Klein, who was long used to it and had the Extraordinary ability of the "Clown" to hold the scene, both Bilt and Sotos froze. They looked in near terror toward the source of the sound.
On the chair in the corner, they didn't know when a beautiful blond girl was sitting there. She was puffing her cheeks and swallowing what was in her mouth, while looking at them with a surprised expression.
This was the most normal scene, so… when did she sit there?
After realizing she was being watched, Alice looked down at the pie in her hands, thought a little, then tentatively held out both hands to offer it, and asked hesitantly:
"I bought this at the door.
"Do you guys want some too?"
Actually, when she acts up but not at me, she's kind of fun… Klein used all of the Clown's control to hold back his laughter, and asked Alice:
"When did you buy it? How come I didn't know?"
Alice blinked and said, "On your way from entering the bar to here."
Okay, that's very reasonable.
Seeing the interaction between Alice and Klein, Bilt calmed down a little. He cautiously turned to Klein and asked:
"This one is?"
Klein looked toward Alice.
So Bilt also looked over. Alice blinked twice, licked her lips in a circle, and then said:
"Maybe, you can call me 'Your Grace'?"
Bilt's just-regained composure disappeared.
Sotos didn't fare any better. They all understood the meaning of "Your Grace" — it was the representative of a deity's will. Now the only problem is… which deity does she — or He — represent?
Of course, Bilt wouldn't be foolish enough to ask this out loud. He cautiously nodded toward Alice and said: "Your Grace, you came here for…?"
Alice sized him up once, raised her eyebrows and said, "I want to see the demigod you mentioned."
After a pause, she looked down and muttered softly: "If I don't eat quickly, the pie will get cold…"
Bilt, who was originally going to speak, closed his mouth.
Klein glanced at Alice, then showed Bilt a gentle smile and said persuasively:
"Don't worry, she… He just doesn't feel at ease about me.
"After all, if I die, no one will accompany Her to play anymore."
Alice looked up at Klein with a complicated expression, wanting to mention Amon here, but in the end gave up.
He… Bilt tried hard to appear composed.
Klein ignored Alice's hesitation and continued:
"You can act as if He doesn't exist.
"Anyway, you don't have any other way, do you?"
These words made a lot of sense. Bilt looked at the calm and easygoing crazy adventurer, Gehrman Sparrow, and suddenly felt a sense of heartfelt admiration. Just as he was about to say something, Alice's thoughtful gaze fell on him, and he instinctively held his breath.
Seeing his frightened look, Alice suddenly remembered Evelyn who called her "Your Grace." She pursed her lips, took a vicious bite of the pie in her hand, then fiercely glared at Bilt — and disappeared on the spot.
Bilt was stunned for a moment, then heard Gehrman Sparrow's unchanged tone:
"Alright, now we should be able to continue talking about the previous matter.
"At least before she finishes eating the pie."
The switch between He and She made Bilt pause for a second. Thinking of Alice's childlike behavior, he suddenly felt he understood Gehrman Sparrow's earlier words.
Bilt tried to let out two laughs. Although the smile was very fake, he still casually said:
"So that means we have one pie's worth of discussion time, is that right?"
Klein nodded.
Bilt didn't try to report or stop this matter. First, he was never that loyal. Second, he had a clear understanding of his own strength. He cleared his throat and began to explain the mission details to Klein.
Until Klein transformed in front of Bilt into Admiral Amyrius Rieveldt's appearance, and Bilt looked him up and down with admiration, Alice curiously asked:
"I suddenly remembered something.
"How did you guys know he could turn into someone else?"
