Mysteries: Arcana Wars

"Derrick, come here and meet this gentleman."

Antigonus waved his hand, and Derrick came over in his wheelchair.

"Who is this……"

“German Sparrow.” Klein adjusted his hat and gestured.

"I know you, sir, but..."

"We have a mission next and we need German to work with us."

Antigonus promptly answered Derrick's doubts and vigilance.

“Now, you’re teammates.

"Come here, Derrick, and listen to this mission."

After a while, Klein returned to the dim basement under the church. Derrick put on the well-maintained exoskeleton and stood up smoothly.

During this time, Antigonus made a few more phone calls and cursed calmly. Soon, three familiar faces came to Klein.

Three of diamonds, five of clubs, seven of hearts.

Including Derrick and Klein, these are all the members of this team.

The three playing cards were stunned for a moment when they saw Klein, but the Seven of Hearts ran over excitedly, hugged Klein's back and patted him hard a few times.

"That's what I told you, Hermann! We are destined to be together! If I follow you, I will definitely have a lot of fun!"

Boom, boom, boom.

The scepter shook the ground three times, and everyone's eyes finally focused on Antigonus.

The universal obsidian dagger does look a bit like a scepter after being connected to a cool, high-tech long handle.

"This time, your target mission location is Kilia Island."

Antigonus said seriously.

"Your goal is to investigate the traces of activities on Kilia Island. If there are any traces of the Tianming Cult, annihilate them all."

"That sounds easy." The Seven of Hearts whistled.

“But the context of Keelia Island is very sensitive.”

Antigonus tapped his scepter.

"From a geographical point of view, this island is located in the high seas near the Rodend Islands. As an official of Rorsted, I cannot provide you with any logistical assistance. All your activities can only be covert actions, and can only be terrorist activities carried out by an unofficial illegal organization.

"From the perspective of daily activities, Fenypot's route is not far from Kilia Island. Observing from the passing ships, Kilia Island is completely within the observation range of the ship's instruments. If there are major movements on Kilia Island, such as explosions, smoke, fluctuations, or any geographical changes, they can be clearly reflected in the numerical changes of advanced instruments. If you don't want to be discovered and don't want to make a big deal, you must pay attention to controlling the scale of the action.

"It is also due to the above reasons that we suspect that the Feypot people, or their old enemies the Loen people, or people from some other country have been conducting espionage activities on this island. Maybe it is to observe the Feypot people, or maybe it is to monitor us Rorsted people. I need you to find out all the circumstances in this regard. No matter who came here, it is a danger to us Rorsted, and we must investigate.

"So it is not surprising that cult activities have appeared on this island."

Antigonus raised his hand and grabbed the air, took out several paper documents with historical projections, and distributed them to everyone present.

"This is the information brought back by other playing cards from the Virtue Society."

"Speaking of which, Lao Da, isn't it time for us to change the name of our organization?" The Seven of Hearts raised her hand to interrupt, "The name of the Virtue Society is out of date!"

"Shut up and talk to you later! I'm the boss, I have the final say!"

Antigonus returned to the subject.

"Reliable intelligence shows that the Tianming Cult's lair is on Kilia Island."

Clayne thought about it. He didn't have much experience with the Tianming Cult. Apart from helping Angel to solve a case and find his daughter, he had fought with them once in a casino. He didn't have much experience in actual fighting against them.

"Wait, where's Angel?"

Kros discovered a blind spot in his thinking. He seemed to have not heard any news about Angel since he woke up.

"Angel? That uncle?"

Derrick scratched his head.

"Angel was subsequently handed over to our Lost Dealer for processing. The Tianming Cult's sacrificial activities still caused him some contamination.

"Unfortunately, we discovered during subsequent investigations that his daughter Cecilia had passed away."

At this point, Derrick sighed, feeling extremely regretful.

“Or maybe Cecilia can’t be considered truly dead.

“After the Tianming Cult captured her, they performed a cruel mysterious ritual on the girl, turning her into a life form between an extraordinary object and a divine vessel, an incomplete and defective divine vessel.

"Cecilia is indeed still alive, but she is only alive. The consciousness and soul that truly belong to Cecilia have been annihilated. The Cecilia you see is just a walking empty shell.

"Now, she is the messenger of God who brings destruction to the Tianming Sect.

“So, after discussing with His Holiness the Pope, we finally cleared the pollution from Angel’s body, and before he left, we erased all his memories about German and the casino incident, and deleted all his answers about Cecilia.

"For a long time afterwards, perhaps even for the rest of his life, he will keep searching for his daughter whose life or death is unknown."

Is this the best outcome for Ingres?

Klaus felt a little emotional, and he couldn't come to a conclusion.

In the face of a cruel and painful truth, can ignorance be bliss?

Perhaps only Ingres himself has the answer to fate.

"Angel will be excluded from future events for his safety."

Antigonus waved his scepter, knocking on several metal boxes at his feet.

"And these are for your safety. The instructions for the seals prepared for you have been placed inside."

Several people looked at each other and went forward to check the equipment. Klein found that the instructions for the sealed object were very detailed and were all historical projections. After everyone finished reading, they dissipated.

"also……"

Antigonus suddenly took a few steps forward, held the dagger and scepter horizontally, and handed it to Derrick.

"Here is this obsidian dagger. Take it."

Derrick was bewildered, then jumped up in shock, grabbing his pants in confusion.

"No, I... Boss... No, uh, His Holiness the Pope..."

He swallowed.

"This is a weapon that can kill gods! I... I don't think I'm suitable for it. Are the seniors more capable than me of handling such an important weapon?"

"The dagger will suppress the extraordinary power. You who do not have extraordinary characteristics are more suitable to use this weapon."

Antigonus forcefully thrust the dagger and scepter into Derrick's hand.

"Excessive caution and evasion are shirking responsibility."

After a psychological struggle, Derrick finally accepted the scepter.

"Then everyone, after a day of rest and preparation, we will set out tomorrow night."

"Wait a minute." Chris couldn't accept it. "You mean, I just woke up from your dungeon today, and then I was beaten and scolded by you, and now you finally let me out, and I will go to work for you tomorrow night?

"You really treat me like a mere slave!"

I am your leader!

You just treat me like a tool and don't even give me a break!

It’s really contrary to Tiangang!

If I can't beat you right now, I'll give you two slaps no matter how high I am!

But even though he complained and grumbled, Klein understood the seriousness of the situation. Since they were already taking such urgent action, it must be a very difficult matter.

"It's not just the end of the world that is a disaster. The problems at hand can also become the root of destruction. If we don't solve these small problems, we won't even be qualified to face the disaster head-on.

"They were all dead long before this."
