Chapter 449: The War That Started Early

Klein thought of the scene when he was becoming a "Bizarro Sorcerer"; at that time, the cloak had almost entered his body.

And if the cloak had succeeded back then, he might have already become an "Attendant of Mysteries."

"Chumen might have known long ago..." It took Klein a long time to come back to his senses.

"It is best not to touch the 'Miracle Invoker' Characteristic inside this." Klein made his decision.

Not to mention that there are only three "Attendant of Mysteries" 【Characteristics】 and there might not be other choices, but the number of "Miracle Invoker" 【Characteristics】 is relatively high, so it is possible to try and obtain them from the outside world.

Klein understood the essence of this cloak, and it felt like the second shoe finally dropping; after all, the unknown is what is most terrifying.

Just as Klein was staying in the Southern Continent, Feysac of the Northern Continent brazenly declared war on Loen, directly initiating the long-suppressed "Holy War"!

Without any warning, it caught Loen completely off guard.

The Augustus Family even convened a Noble Council overnight, and George III announced in the name of the King that Loen had entered a state of war.

But this was not the worst news, because at almost the same time, Feynapot also declared war on Loen!

Loen was directly dragged into the abyss of war by two major kingdoms.

"How is this possible!?" George III was furious and slammed the table directly at the Noble Council.

"It is true; both countries have declared war on us simultaneously, and their armies are already approaching the Loen border." The Prime Minister's face was also extremely grim.

"I have received some information," General Emilius of the military raised his hand, and everyone's eyes fell upon him.

"The Evernight Church seems to have made a move against the God of War Church in the Southern Continent, angering the Mother Goddess of Earth."

"Feysac was not actually prepared; the war was initiated early under the interference of the Mother Goddess of Earth Church."

"This seems to be a good thing for us."

"The Evernight Church?" George III's nostrils flared slightly, and he frowned as he looked at the generals who were close to the Evernight Church.

"According to the information we have now, we can infer that in the struggle in the Southern Continent, the Evernight Church has achieved victory, and the Aegis Family may join the war."

General Emilius's news made all the generals look pleased; the Aegis Family represents the entirety of West Balam!

Although it is located in the Southern Continent, it still possesses the power to support the war.

"Good!" George III's eyes also lit up; this was an unexpected joy.

"What about the Solomon Empire? Is there any movement there?" Someone asked this, and the entire conference hall instantly fell silent.

A super-empire with a scale that could surpass the three major kingdoms—every move it makes could potentially affect the entire world.

General Emilius was speechless; he slowly shook his head, "The Solomon Empire has not yet shown any intention of participating in the war."

But no one present was foolish enough to believe that the Solomon Empire would truly not participate.

Everyone fell silent, feeling a heavy pressure.

In the end, George III moved past this topic and began to arrange for the war.

"From now on, mobilize for war; we must stop the armies of the two countries outside our borders..."

Order after order was issued from the Noble Council, and Loen transformed into a war machine.

The Augustus Family had secretly prepared for this war for a long time; now that it had suddenly started, although it was hasty, they could barely cope.

It is just that war is never a good thing for any commoner.

On this day, the hearts of all the people were stirred by the news of the war.

"This war might directly destroy more than half a year of our efforts." Audrey was in the Dream Church, looking at the smiles that had already faded from the faces of the people in the East District.

Those who had originally seen their lives improve because of the "Survival Act" seemed to be about to step into the abyss of life once again.

"If you think there is a problem, then go and change it." A familiar voice sounded. Audrey turned her head subconsciously and saw John Constantine, who had not appeared in Backlund for a long time, suddenly standing behind her.

"'The World'... no, Bishop Constantine!" Audrey looked at Klein in pleasant surprise.

"Long time no see, Miss Audrey." Klein nodded slightly and also looked at the people praying devoutly outside the Dream Church.

"What did you mean by 'change' just now, Bishop?" Audrey asked quite impatiently.

"Since you think their lives should be better, why not actively intervene?" Klein said softly.

"Actively intervene..." Audrey was slightly stunned. She came from a great noble family, but there were some things she could not interfere with.

"I have an opportunity here; do you need it?" Klein seemed not to notice Audrey's hesitation and reached out to grab something; an item resembling a Dragon's heart appeared in his hand.

"This is a 'Manipulator'?" Audrey was slightly taken aback, "But I haven't saved up enough money yet."

The value of a Demigod-level Characteristic is already ridiculously high; even Audrey would need some time to raise the funds.

"I can sell this Characteristic to you at half price, but I also have a request." Klein looked at the scene outside the church.

"You want to..." Audrey instantly understood what Klein meant.

"It's not enough," Klein shook his head slightly, "I want you to appear as John Constantine, but as you know, this identity is somewhat dangerous."

Offending all the nobles led by the Augustus Family is not just "somewhat" dangerous.

"I can do it!" Audrey's jewel-like eyes instantly lit up. The identity of John Constantine represented not just grievances with the nobles, but also the power of the Dream Archbishop!

As long as she had such an identity, she would have the ability to save more people!

"Have you thought it through?" Klein smiled slightly as he looked at the light flickering in Audrey's eyes. This noble lady, who was kind and pure by nature and possessed a certain idealistic sentiment, was actually very suitable for the Dream Sect.

"Then do I need to change my faith?" Audrey suddenly hesitated again; her family were all loyal believers of the Evernight Church.

"You believe in the Goddess, so why wouldn't you believe in the Dream Angel? She is the First Pope of the Evernight Church." Klein indicated that this was a minor issue; one only needed to add a name to the Dream Sect's registry.

"That works too?" Audrey was slightly dazed, but it seemed so!

"This Characteristic is yours." Klein handed the "Manipulator" Characteristic directly to Audrey.

"I also have a 'Dream Walker' Characteristic here." Klein looked at the large golden dog, Susie.

"Then can you save it for me!?" Audrey said immediately; she could afford a Sequence 5 Characteristic.

"Naturally." Klein nodded slightly.

"Then I'll leave it to you." Klein once again handed a charm to Audrey with a solemn expression.

This is John Constantine's proof of identity; it even has indications of a Causality Thread on it, which can evade ordinary divination.

"Then where are you going?" Audrey asked suddenly.

"..." Klein was silent for a moment, then said, "I might be going to participate in this war."
