Chapter 407 The Weather Sorcerer's Status
The citrine pendant was swinging wildly clockwise with a huge amplitude and extremely fast speed, which indicates that there is a great danger lurking on Bansi Island.
How could this be? This place has been colonized by the Kingdom of Rune for over three hundred years and has been a transit point on the main shipping route for over a century. In other words, this land has become a so-called "cultivated land." How could there be any danger?
Moreover, the rumors that Danitz just mentioned are all legends from hundreds of years ago, and are not new at all!
Could it be some kind of man-made disaster? Are there pirate generals planning to plunder this place?
But does the pirate general really have the capability to attack medium-sized islands like this?
Given the large-caliber coastal defense guns displayed in the port, any pirate general who dared to set foot here would be courting death.
Could it be that several pirate generals joined forces, or that the pirate king had his eye on this place?
That shouldn't be the case. Countries around the world are on high alert against unstable elements like pirate kings. How could they possibly leave any loopholes for them to exploit?
Klein didn't know the situation in other countries, but he did know that MI9 had specialized departments and sealed entities that tracked down unstable elements around the world.
Even if those high-ranking powerhouses cannot be completely locked down, their subordinate forces can still detect some of their presence.
At this moment, Klein remembered what Evan had said when he asked him to investigate Bansie Island.
I recently heard that the family residence of Medici, the angel king under the command of the true creator, is located on that small island that was once called "Binsey" and is now called "Binsey".
Medici is the King of Angels of the War Path, and this matter might concern my future promotion, so I hope you can help investigate.
"Could it be such a coincidence that a descendant of the Angel King Medici is plotting something on Bansi Island tonight?"
Klein's expression turned unusually serious, and he became somewhat hesitant.
After much deliberation, I decided I still needed to see Ai.
On the one hand, we wanted to see if we could get more information from him, and on the other hand, we wanted to see his attitude.
Because of time constraints, after making the decision, Klein immediately ended his self-summoning ritual, returned to reality, and made a prayer gesture, praying to Mr. Fool that he wanted to see Mr. Power.
He then returned to the gray fog and projected his prayer image onto the red star that symbolized Evan.
After receiving Evan's prayer for a meeting, he quickly sat down in the "World" position and pulled Evan into the gray fog.
The moment Evan appeared, Klein didn't exchange pleasantries and went straight to stating the results of his divination.
"What else do you know about Bansi Island? Should I go there or not?"
Evan had anticipated the problems Klein was facing, even when he commissioned Klein to investigate Bansie Island.
So Evan said without the slightest hesitation:
"There might indeed be a weatherman on Bansi Island," but I don't think the danger you divined comes from him!
"What does this mean? Is there something even more terrifying on Bansi Island?"
Klein sensed something was wrong and quickly pressed for an answer.
"Yes, do you remember what I said to you on the steam train when I left Tingen in July?"
In order to divert Klein's attention and protect the core secret that he was also a time traveler, Evan even revealed the secrets of the mysterious city to him.
Surrounded by the gray fog, Klein, as its master, was preoccupied with divination. Therefore, he immediately thought of Evan's self-destruction and said somewhat uncertainly:
"You mean the mysterious city on your body?"
Because this secret was clearly Evan's core secret, Klein later even speculated that the mysterious city and the gray mist on his body were the most important reasons why the two of them were able to become the chosen ones of the Goddess of Night.
So despite his boundless curiosity, Klein never delved into it.
After all, putting himself in Evan's shoes, he wouldn't want Evan to delve into the secrets of the gray mist on his body, especially since he hadn't even revealed the identity of "The Fool" to Evan.
"It's that mysterious city. This mysterious city not only allows me to advance in both sequences, but it also allows me to stand at a certain height and see the extraordinary individuals through these two paths, especially the high-sequence extraordinary individuals. I wonder if you understand what I'm saying!"
Evan explained the function of his mysterious city in obscure language.
"I understand, please continue!"
Klein couldn't help but think of the dense red stars he had once seen, and he began to understand what Evan meant.
"So I can vaguely sense that there is a weatherman on Bansi Island!"
Moreover, I could vaguely sense that He was fighting against the mysterious city within me!
Klein's gaze sharpened, sensing he might have stumbled upon the truth, and he quickly asked:
"What do you mean? Explain yourself!"
"The mysterious city on my body is just a phantom. It is actually in an unknown place, but it has been passively interfering with reality all along."
"And that weather sorcerer has already been corrupted by it, and is currently fighting against the corruption of the mysterious city!"
Evan told Klein everything he had experienced through the City of Calamity.
Klein felt a flash of inspiration, and in an instant, he connected all the events.
The mysterious city and gray mist surrounding Evan belong to the same level as things that are superior to gods.
It is said that ordinary extraordinary beings will go insane upon seeing the mythical forms of high-sequence extraordinary beings. Correspondingly, high-sequence extraordinary beings can also be corrupted by higher-level forces.
To some extent, have Evan and I been corrupted by the gray fog and that mysterious city? Are we products of these two higher-level things interfering with reality, only that I haven't realized it yet? Klein thought of his relationship with the gray fog in that instant, and a chill ran down his spine.
He felt as if the whole world had become a giant stage, and he himself had become a puppet on strings, being manipulated without even realizing it.
He also understood why the Storm Church could stand by and watch an angel spread the name of the "God of Weather" on Bansi Island, and even to some extent allowed it to spread.
The Church of Storms is using that angel as a shield, so that He can stand in front of that mysterious city. The reason why they don't completely eradicate the God of Weather is to give Him a certain anchor of faith so that He can be a better shield.
The establishment of the church and the dispatch of priests were merely to keep abreast of the situation on Bansi Island, to assess the circumstances, and to intervene as needed. After a long pause, Klein suppressed his shock and asked in bewilderment:
"Now that you already know so much, what do you need me to investigate for you?"
Klein believed that if he could analyze the results, Evan could too, so he was somewhat confused about Evan's purpose.
"I want you to investigate not the weather sorcerer, but the Storm Church stationed on Bansi Island."
Klein was incredibly frustrated with Evan's way of speaking; he would only say half a sentence each time, waiting for the other to respond before continuing. But time was of the essence, and he couldn't afford to argue, so he could only ask in a muffled voice:
"What are you investigating them for? Can you just finish your sentence at once!"
Hearing this, Evan smiled, then composed himself, no longer keeping her in suspense, and said seriously:
"I have been observing that weather sorcerer through the mysterious city," and you should know why.
But recently, I've felt that the angel's resistance to the pollution of the mysterious city is diminishing, and it's even embracing the pollution.
However, through MI9's intelligence channels, I found no emergency communications coming from Bansi Island!
There are only two possibilities: either the clergy of the Storm Church on Bansi Island were unaware of this shift.
Another possibility is that they were also contaminated, so they did not report the changes that occurred there to the Church of Storms.
I personally believe the latter possibility is more likely, because if the Church of Storms sent people there to monitor them, it's impossible that they didn't have reliable means of surveillance.
If it were true that some of the Church of Storms' clergy had been contaminated, the problem would be even more serious, potentially leading to a catastrophe that would destroy the entire island of Bansi!
Evan knew exactly what would happen to Bansi Island in two months, so he directly deduced the current situation of Bansi Island.
Klein was also taken aback by Evan's analysis, but after only a brief moment of consideration, he could only nod in agreement with Evan's judgment.
No one knows what a corrupted angel might do; it's even more terrifying than the arrival of a true creator.
The true creator is mainly a daring god descending, so naturally the seven great gods of the same level will take action.
Therefore, even though He split off a clone, the God who sent the clone dared not reveal his whereabouts, and Tingen was thus able to survive.
After all, the true creator is just insane, not corrupted or out of control.
After much hesitation, Klein finally gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice:
"I'm going to Bansi Island tonight to investigate the Church of Storms. Are you sure that angel won't pose a threat to me?"

Seeing that Klein, despite understanding the dangers of Bansie Island, still resolutely went to the island to investigate, Evan was filled with admiration and said with a smile:
"I can guarantee that the weather sorcerer" will not be able to make a move.
I forgot to tell you that after I advanced to become a demigod, I was able to mobilize the power of the Mysterious City to a certain extent. Although it didn't have a significant effect, it was enough to restrain that angel.
However, this method can only be used once. If He is on guard next time, it won't be as effective!
This method was simple and easy to understand, and Klein immediately grasped it, then continued:
"Alright, there's a telegraph office on Bansi Island. If I really find something wrong with the clergy of the Storm Church, I'll send a warning to the Storm Church from there!"
Just as Klein was about to end the conversation, Evan quickly spoke up:
"In fact, even if the clergy of the Storm Church are corrupted, they may not even realize their own problems."
So if you do discover something unusual, I hope you won't act rashly. Based on my own experiments, the level of pollution in the Mysterious City is very high, and even the King of Angels might not be able to remove it.
If the Church of Storms determines that they cannot eliminate the contamination, then there is a high probability that those clergy members will be executed.
Furthermore, if the clergy of the Church of Storms have all run into trouble, what are the chances that the ordinary people of Bansi Island have not been contaminated?
So the Church of Storms might destroy Banshee Island in the most violent way possible. Believe me, they are capable of doing it.
It's not just them who are capable of doing it; all official forces would do it!
If that happens, then your investigation will be nothing more than igniting the fuse that destroys Bansi Island!
Klein fell silent. He wasn't naive; he had his own judgment and was very clear about the official forces' attitude towards pollution. Somewhat annoyed, he said:
"If the investigation results are not reported to the Storm Church and the situation continues unchecked, and Bansi Island is still destroyed, then wouldn't my investigation have been rendered useless?"
Evan didn't mind Klein's unfriendly tone. After all, anyone would get annoyed by such a dilemma, especially since he was the one who had thrown the problem at him.
"Have you forgotten what I just said? I have been able to mobilize some of the power of the mysterious city."
"As long as you investigate the current situation on Bansi Island thoroughly and give me a rough timeframe, I can make arrangements at my leisure. At that time, we can not only resolve the issue of the contaminated angel but also address the pollution affecting the residents of Bansi Island. Wouldn't that be killing two birds with one stone?"
Klein slapped his forehead, realizing he had been so flustered that he had completely forgotten what he had just heard.
I'm just worrying too much. Since Evan asked me to investigate Bansi Island, he obviously has a whole plan in mind. Why should I keep agonizing over this?
Thinking of the mysterious Empress Bernadette, who had a deep partnership with the Horn family, Klein became even more confident in Evan's plan.
It's clearly better to entrust the fate of the people of Bansi Island to Evan than to the Storm Church, a bunch of muscle-headed bastards.
"Okay, we'll do it your way!"
After saying this, Klein pretended to bow to the empty seat of the "Fool" and asked to leave the "Fool's" kingdom.
Just as Klein returned to reality, he heard a knock on the door.
Klein calmly stood up from the toilet, washed his hands, and then casually left the bathroom, changed into a warm overcoat, and opened the door.
Danitz was banging on the door frantically, his fist almost hitting Klein instead. He awkwardly touched his fist, then quickly changed the subject, saying:
"What are you doing in there? You haven't answered me for ages! Are you getting off the ship or not? Can't you give me a straight answer?"
Klein wanted to explain that he had gone to the lavatory, but suddenly realized that Gehrman Sparrow's persona couldn't be explained, so he gave Danitz a cool look and walked straight toward the gangway.
Seeing this, Danitz could only curse the arrogant Rune in his heart before quickly following.
