He had always thought that his belief in the goddess was not too firm, but he was just lucky enough to be a Nighthawk and have done some things.
After he faked his death and escaped, his belief in the goddess became weaker and weaker. In order to facilitate his travels on the sea, he successively believed in the Lord of Storms, the Eternal Sun, and the God of Steam and Machinery.
Faith is not so indispensable to him.
Not to mention that this time, he even wanted to sneak into the depths of St. Samuel's Church. Chanis Gate came into contact with the Antigonus family notebook that led him to join the Nighthawks.
Such behavior is simply blaspheming the goddess of the night.
Facing herself like this, the goddess of the night is still willing to help, and even expresses her attitude through Leonard.
This is clearly his intention to become the favored one of the night.
Could it be that the goddess of the night already knows the secrets she hides, and is even willing to provide herself with a little help for this?
But why?
Moreover, he sensed the urgency of the Night Goddess from this behavior, and she seemed to be worried about something.
Klein had many thoughts in his mind, and finally sighed and began to prepare the altar and pray to the goddess of the night through rituals.
He had also been taught by Old Neil to
The Night Goddess had prayed, so setting up the altar wasn't too difficult for him.
After completing the preparations, Klein raised his hand and wiped his face, transforming into Gehrman Sparrow with stern features, and his height was unknowingly shorter by a few centimeters.
After lighting the two candles in front of him, Klein made the ordinary candle representing "me" glow with a yellow flame.
The two candles at the front symbolize the dark night and are made of night vanilla and sleep flower. The other is a candle made of white cornflower, wild rose and other materials that symbolizes secrets.
Immediately afterwards, he created a spiritual wall, sprinkled the full moon essential oil, burned the herbal powder to please the gods, and then completed the required ritual steps step by step.
At the end, Klein took two steps back, turned on his spiritual vision, and recited in a low voice:
"I pray for the power of the night."
"I pray for the protection of secrets."
"I pray for the goddess's favor."
"...I met the clone of the blasphemer Amon in Backlund. He was collecting the extraordinary characteristics of the demigods who were thieves..."
"...I pray for secret protection and to complete the task of eliminating the clone of Amon, the blasphemer..."
"Night herbs, herbs belonging to the red moon, please pass my prayers to the goddess."
"Moon Flower, the herb belonging to the red moon, please pass my prayers to the goddess."
After finishing reciting, Klein waited patiently for a while, but nothing happened, not even a single response.
Klein's mood was much more relaxed. It seemed that Leonard had made a mistake. He was not the favored person that the goddess of the night wanted to protect.
Mr. Hastur is the devout believer that the goddess of the night wants.
That's right, there are believers who want to sneak into the church and commit theft every day.
That’s fine, I’ve tried it myself, now it’s time for Mr. Hastur to try it.
Just as he was about to clean up the arrangements for the ceremony in front of him, a figure suddenly jumped into his eyes.
The figure was wearing a simple linen robe with traces of sewing, and a brown belt made of twisted bark was tied around the waist. The long black hair was hanging down wantonly, and his feet were not wearing shoes and socks, and were covered with dust and scars.
This is a lady. Her facial features are extremely ordinary, and her dark eyes are no different from those of ordinary people. But just looking at her like this, peace naturally arises deep in her heart, as if the violent waves have encountered a season that is enough to stop. Pian Xinhai then regained peace, tranquility and beauty.
"you are?"
Klein's mood was very complicated at this time. He didn't hope that this person was sent by the goddess of the night, but he also hoped that this was the goddess of the night's response to him.
Among these gods, his belief in the goddess of the night has always been the deepest.
The lady in a simple linen robe nodded gently and said, "Arianna, servant of the secret."
Servant of the Secret…Arianna…
This is a very resounding title and name, especially within the Church of the Goddess of the Night.
Klein's eyes were focused, showing an expression of surprise and shock.
Although his belief in the goddess of the night is not that firm, as a night watcher, he knows the name Arianna very well.
As the abbot of the Night Monastery and the head of the thirteen archbishops, if nothing unexpected happens, he will be the future leader of the Night Goddess Church.
Your Holiness the Pope.
An existence with such a terrifying identity actually appeared in front of him at this moment. It seemed that the goddess really valued him, a not very devout believer.
Well, it's also possible that the other party came for Amon.
After all, Amon is the King of Angels, and even if his clone appears in Backlund, that would be a big deal.
...Oh, why do I make the goddess of the night care so much?
Klein no longer deceived himself. The other party specified that he was here because of him.
If it was purely for Amon, then Leonard, a member of the Red Gloves, should be able to get the response from the goddess more easily than himself.
Klein was in a complicated mood. He was silent for a moment, then solemnly saluted and said, "Good morning, Your Highness Arianna."
In major churches, if there is a being of angelic rank walking on the ground, the suffix "Your Highness" should be added when meeting them to show respect.
Arianna tapped her chest four times clockwise and responded piously: "May the goddess bless you."
Klein also quickly tapped his chest four times clockwise to draw a crimson moon, and said in a pious tone: "Praise the goddess."
Seeing this scene, Arianna's expression became much more relaxed than before, "I am an ascetic monk, you can just call me madam."
"Yes, Ms. Arianna."
"Do you want to deal with the blasphemer Amon's clone in Backlund?"
"Yes, I wish for privacy."
"I can provide hidden power so that everything will not be seen, but I cannot guarantee that I can completely clean up all Amon's clones in Backlund."
……
In Queens, watching the sun gradually approach noon, Hastur was sitting on the balcony on the second floor, softly calling Azshara who was lying on the edge of the balcony.
But Azshara seemed to be angry with him. No matter how he shouted, it remained unmoved and even quietly moved its position.
Seeing this, Hastur could only take out the dried fish he had prepared, put the fragrant dried fish on the table on the right, and waited for Azshara to take the bait.
After waiting for a while, Azshara couldn't bear the temptation and slowly moved her body over. When it jumped on the table and was about to bite a small dried fish, it was caught by Hastur who was waiting for the opportunity. Hold it in your arms.
Azshara mewed a few times in protest, then let Hastur pet her little head obediently.
Hasta lamented: "You have to pet your own cat. There are too many temptations out there. If it is lured away, it will be difficult."
"Meow?"
Azshara didn't quite understand this sentence, but it probably meant that the master was worried that she would leave him one day.
Its head rubbed against Hastur's palm, indicating that it would always stay by his side.
Hastur smiled, picked up a small dried fish and placed it in front of Azshara. Seeing it happily enjoying the food, he chuckled and said, "Raising a cat is really an interesting thing."
Chapter 484 Amon: Found you
The sun was shining warmly at noon, and its golden light made people drowsy. Even the gray fog covering Backlund was much weaker than before.
Azshara curled up in Hastur's arms, eating half of the dried fish in her mouth. The palm of her master's hand that was stroking her head stopped. She looked up and found that her master's eyes were closed, as if he was sleeping. Same as before.
"Meow?"
Azshara called out softly, but received no response.
At this time, Sharon came out of the mirror and waved to Azshara. Azshara gently jumped down from Hastur's arms, for fear of disturbing her master's sleep.
"Meow."
Sharon bent down and reached out to pick up Azshara, stretching out a finger to gently tease her.
In the dream, Hastur reunited with Klein and Leonard again. Klein stated that he had sought secret asylum from the goddess of the night and could start preparing for action.
It is not difficult to fish out Amon's main clone. The descendant of the Jacob family, a demigod-level thief and an extraordinary person, is a good choice.
The reason why Hastur intervened at that time was to save him for later use. At the same time, he also did not want Amon's clone to swallow the extraordinary characteristics and increase his strength.
"Klein, you are indeed the goddess's favored one."
Klein heard the undisguised jealousy in Leonard's tone. He smiled and nodded, tapping his chest four times to draw a crimson moon, "Let us praise the goddess."
Leonard just watched Klein's trick of changing the topic quietly, "You should really praise the goddess, otherwise your piety will not be worth the goddess's love for you."
"Everything is the will of the goddess."
Klein showed a pious expression like that of a church bishop, making Leonard unable to find fault even if he wanted to.
Hastur looked at the friendly interaction between Leonard and Klein with a smile on his face.
After hearing Leonard's message to Klein before, he knew that the Goddess of the Night was stepping up to intervene in Klein's affairs, forcing Klein to seek help from her.
Just like she was teasing Azshara with dried fish, the goddess also didn't want her fat and white cat to be abducted by the stars.
If Klein turns to the stars for help, Hastur is also capable of cutting off the connection between Amon's main body and his clone.
Hastur looked at it for a while and said: "Let's take action at night. That is the most suitable time."
"Is Mr. Hastur planning to take action personally?"
Klein and Leonard are both curious about this question. They have not seen Hastur's abilities yet, but Hastur knows them very well.
"I will call in a suitable helper who is also skilled in the extraordinary abilities of the Thief Path."
"Okay." Leonard felt a little pity.
After ending the dream created through Will, Hastur opened his eyes and woke up. Azshara, who was originally curled up in his arms, was now lying on Sharon's shoulder, and Sharon was standing a few steps ahead. The balcony overlooks the scenery of Backlund in the distance.
Hastur folded his hands behind his head, leaned back in the armchair, and just looked at Sharon silently.
Recently, he has been trying to help
Sharon further played the role of a puppet, but unfortunately Sharon was shy and thin-skinned, and always liked to hide in the mirror and deliberately avoid him.
"Are you going out tonight?"
