Mysteries: Arcana Wars

Hooked.

After experiencing the sudden cathedral bombing, Klein immediately began to think about this identity issue.

Under the supervision of the Church of Evernight over Pales and Leonard, any sudden contact with a high-level person would cause considerable trouble to the two of them. Therefore, Klein initially positioned himself as an unlucky street magician who suddenly lost all his identity information. He actively reported the case and then became Leonard's assistant. He was a Sequence 7 "magician", which just matched Leonard's "nightmare" setting.

However, the development of the incident in the raid on the Harvest Church was unexpected. Klein thought it would be a terrorist attack or an extraordinary riot, but the red glow that fell from the sky raised the entire incident to a terrifying level. He also demonstrated the power of a high status in that attack.

In the chaotic and disordered space, the camera that was destroyed in an instant failed to capture effective images, but that didn't mean that the cameras around the church couldn't capture the magician entering the church alone. Even at the end of the battle, Klein once again ignited the black smoke of nothingness and used gray fog products, but after more than a thousand years of changes in the situation, he still suspected that the church would always have a way to find clues about the miracle magician in this pile of ruins.

The church bombing occurred when Klein was the first person to wake up. Before he could have a good grasp of the current situation, his plans were disrupted.

But the new plan was immediately completed with the help of Leonard.

Klein decided to further split the identity of "Magician" that had been exposed to the official view.

For the large amount of data recorded in the public system that went in and out with Leonard, Klein continued to maintain the setting of an unlucky street performer, and in his subsequent actions with Leonard, he was more deliberate in guiding others and leaving enough "clues".

As for those high-ranking Beyonders who might be captured by the church, Klein decided to combine his rich experience at the fifth level and bring the "fully automatic wishing machine" back to life.

Since the church was able to identify "Merlin Hermes" as a projection of a "fully automatic wishing machine" to seduce passers-by, why not have a fantasy reenactment in the Sixth Epoch?

After listening to it, Leonard and Klein immediately completed the script in the apartment:

A frustrated and unlucky street magician, on a dark and windy night, encountered a strange mechanical box that could run away on its own.

The box is engraved with classical cursive runes:

Two coins, three wishes come true.

It was like a beam of holy light, cutting through the endless darkness and illuminating the face of the unfortunate man.

In modern Loen, which has experienced a thousand years of inflation and where one gold pound is equal to one hundred pence, street magicians can't wait to take out two one-penny coins, put them in and make a wish.

"I want a good partner to help with the performance!"

“I want a journey that inspires me!”

Faced with this opportunity to change their destiny, what choice should the unlucky people make?

To be unknown or to be famous?

"I want to be... famous!"

So the fully automatic wishing machine fulfilled the street magician's wish in the fastest way: taking away the magician's identity and using him as a human sign to cause trouble everywhere.

You see, within a week, even the top leaders of the church know your name "Merlin Hermes". This is much more exciting than becoming famous all over the world!

After the script was finalized, Leonard and Klein deliberately created traces of two "Merlin Hermes" in the following days.

Things were a bit difficult, because in the week since Klein woke up, both of them were busy facing life's combination punches and dealing with various accidents, so they could only pay attention to misleading their image in their daily actions. On the other hand, under Leonard's care, Klein would burn a lot of spirituality and create the illusion of two "Merlin Hermes" existing at the same time. While the detective was investigating the case, the fully automatic wishing machine suddenly appeared in the alleys and streets, harvesting people's wishes.

Apparently, the revenue from the automatic wishing machine was very meager this week, and not many people were willing to stop their busy work to make some unrealistic wishes.

We already know that some things are just fantasy, so we stop expecting our dreams to come true and add to our troubles.

What made this simple script work quickly was more important because of Leonard's intelligence on Lady Gloria, the Night Bishop, and Deacon Scott of the Steam Church. Under the guidance of this key intelligence, their actions were more targeted.

Klein connected with Scott Cartwright and the Steam Church, Leonard connected with Madam Gloria and the Night Church, and Emlyn was treated as a high-level environmentally friendly and efficient social animal by the Earth Church Hospital. It was already very difficult and dangerous to establish such a fragile intelligence network in a short period of time.

Looking at Scott who was questioning him, Klein felt that this hastily planned plan was somewhat effective.

So he struck while the iron was hot and continued to maintain the settings of the "fully automatic wishing machine" human-shaped billboard and started playing it in a loop.

"I am the miracle magician Merlin Hermes. This is my most proud invention, the 'Fully Automatic Wishing Machine'. As long as you put in two coins, I will grant you three wishes."

The white-haired Scott adjusted his glasses. He felt a little uncomfortable that the magician in front of him with a mysterious smile was looking down at him like that, but for safety reasons, he was not going to leave this extraordinary wheelchair.

It seems that before inserting the coin, this charlatan who calls himself a "miracle magician" will only repeat these repetitive words to lure people to the machine to insert the coin and make a wish...

Could it be that the machine is the real body...

"What on earth do you want to do by appearing here?"

"Good evening, nice to meet you, sir. I am the miracle magician Merlin Hermes. I am here with my most proud 'fully automatic wishing machine' to perform magic to make people's wishes come true. As long as you put in two coins, it will make three wishes come true for you..."

Scott gave up the attempt, patted his pockets in defeat, and then threw his hands up.

"Who still carries coins on the street these days? How about you tell me your account number and I'll transfer two pence to you?"

Why do you assume that one coin is one penny... one Loen gold pound is not enough...

Going through a regular bank will definitely leave traces, not to mention going through the channels left by the other party and telling the other party your account. It is difficult to guarantee that this guy will not catch you online and dig up your past.

Klein did not respond to this seemingly perfunctory trap. Based on the information provided by Leonard, he even suspected that Scott's etiquette for meeting people was to set a trap first to show respect...

"Okay, you don't even accept online payments? What about credit cards? What era is this? It's the 14th century of the Sixth Epoch!"

The only one who responded to him was a charlatan's smile.

However, online wishing has indeed been put on the agenda, and fully automatic wishing websites are just around the corner.

"So……"

Scott suddenly pushed his wheelchair closer to Klein, raised his head and approached the miracle magician's face, revealing a sly smile little by little, and the simple lenses reflected a bit of madness in the old man's eyes.

"...Two questions in exchange for three wishes...how about that?"

"…Deal, sir."
