Chapter 66: A Day in September

"Dear Mr. Azik,

"Since September, the temperature in Beckland has been getting cooler and cooler day by day, and recently, you can already see old people wearing gloves when they go out.

"As last year, fog began to cover the city, one or two days a week, or even more, and it is clear that air pollution is definitely not a one-year or two-year success, and this is at least a five-year cycle. Happily, the pungent smell in the air has decreased a lot, and my Bloodline friends are very happy with the weather.

"The other nice change is that more and more students, postmen, skilled workers are buying bicycles, and the number of horse-drawn carriages on the street is decreasing considerably, which means that horse manure and its pervasive smell are out of the ranks of the air quality leaders in Beckland, and of course, they still occupy a very important position, you know, gentlemen and ladies who think they have status are not willing to lower their style, but I can see that the little ones in their families are gradually becoming interested in bicycles.

"During this time, I lived a normal life, going to St. Samuel's Church and the Rune Charity Foundation several times a week, participating in their activities, making continuous cash donations, occasionally watching horse races, watching theatrical performances, enjoying symphonies, playing cards in clubs, playing golf, holding or attending banquets, balls and salons on weekends.

"I forgot to tell you that I have bought a manor, which originally belonged to the Duke of Negan's family, called 'Rose Song', it has its own high-quality vineyards and wineries, and a large area of woods and fields for planting, for hunting, its main house is missing a long side of the square, a total of four floors, there are a large number of rooms, I wandered around it for a while, without leaving the hall, I walked more than 10,000 steps, at the same time, it has a large number of sculptures, paintings, decorations and exquisite tableware, it is like a palace.

"Maybe I'm exaggerating, because I've never seen a real palace, it's the first manor house I've owned, and I remember when I was in Tingen, I lived in a two-room rental house with my brother and sister, and I had to sleep every day smelling coal.

"This is introduced by Major General Chunas Korg, it cost me a total of 20,000 gold pounds, you don't have to worry about my financial situation, I have made a lot of money in the Southern Continent, and I have sold some magical items, and I still have more than 17,000 pounds in cash, 15,000 pounds in gold bars, and a lot of gold coins, sules, and pennies.

"I'm quite satisfied with Rose Age, and I've sent Richardson, the former valet, to be the deacon of the manor, and it's autumn, and I'm going to invite guests there for a nice weekend, and I hope Richardson will be ready.

"The mysterious world of Beckland has not changed for the time being, may it continue like this.

"The 'magic mirror' I mentioned earlier has been restored, but it seems to be left with post-traumatic stress disorder for Amon, and whenever the corresponding thing is mentioned in the question, it will automatically change the font color, give the wrong answer, and ask me to praise it again and again.

"It also has a different opinion about leaving the Church of Steam, and seems to have decided to stay a little longer, thinking that it would be safer, and it even wants to be dangerous and become a 'Tier 1' seal, and I have to say, its way of thinking always surprises me.

"Thanks to some of its solutions, I have found a way to create pure darkness, which is to create it with the night realm charm with dreams, which belongs to the response of the 'goddess of the night' and can be classified as pure, and in addition, after trial and error, I finally mastered the meditative drawing of the divine symbol today, and made the desired item. ”

Writing this, Klein, who was sitting on the sofa with his thigh as his desk, couldn't help but stop his pen and raise his hand to rub the corners of his forehead.

Failure after failure means the loss of one "spirit worm" after another, and every time the "spirit worm" is separated, it is a spirit tearing injury for him, and it takes a long time to recover.

Therefore, in order to leave a margin to prevent accidents, Klein will not let himself reach the limit every time, and after separating three or four "spirit worms", he chooses to rest for a few days and start trying to engrave, so that he tries to stop and stop, stop and stop, and until now, he has fully mastered the method and made the finished product.

Glancing at the rectangular "diamond" placed next to him, he saw the layers of complex symbols extending into the void from the constantly refracted light, and his head was slightly dizzy, as if he was witnessing a piece of history.

Let's call it the "Yesterday Reappeared" charm...... Klein withdrew his gaze and continued to write:

"There is another storm landing in the coastal area, the upper and lower houses of the kingdom have entered the traditional period of discussion of important bills, and the pace of the new year is getting closer and louder, which makes people inexplicably a little worried.

"May you recover soon and wake up soon. ”

"Your Forever Student, Klein Moretti"

Putting away the pen and folding the letter, Crane blew the Azk bronze whistle and summoned the nearly four-meter-tall white bone messenger.

Unlike before, the messenger only showed a head and an arm, and the rest were below the floor, on the second floor.

This makes it appear a lot shorter than Klein.

After all, I'm barely a member of the "Grim Reaper" now...... Crane handed the letter to the messenger and watched as it crumbled into a waterfall of bones and burrowed into the ground.

With that done, he picked up the "Yesterday Repeated" charm on the armrest of the couch.

This is his first successful product, and he plans to use it himself, anyway, with experience, it will be easier to do it later.

As for whether it is dangerous to borrow power from oneself in history, Crane has already divined above the gray fog in advance - he thinks that if the real "fool" or the owner of the "light gate" is involved, there is a mysterious space in the gray fog to block it.

And the result of divination is that it is very safe.

After staring at the long diamond-like spell for a few seconds, Crane no longer hesitated, opened his mouth, and spat out an ancient Hermetian word:

"History!"

- The reason he tried it in the real world instead of the gray fog was because he feared that the mysterious space would cut off the traceability of the past.

As the harsh voice echoed, Crane poured spirituality into the "Yesterday Repeated" spell.

The light that spread out like hair lit up, illuminating the surroundings clearly and purely.

Faintly, a picture flashed in front of Crane's eyes.

It was beside Ince Zangwill's corpse, dancing with Dalie Simone;

That's Daun Dantès, who has a gray sideburns and a brilliant temperament;

It was Gelman Sparrow who wore a top hat and landed on the "Black Tulip" under the favor of the wind;

It was Sherlock Moriarty who struggled when a meteorite fell from the sky;

It was Klein Moretti who was at Blackthorn Security Company listening to the cry of babies and summoning "Sunshine";

It was a pale college graduate with a revolver raised and aimed at his temple.

Further on, all the images vanished, leaving only a gray mist.

And until the power of the spell was exhausted, Crane didn't see the end of the mist.

Sure enough, my crossing was related to the gray mist, the mysterious space, and the strange "light gate...... This basically confirms that I used to sleep in a cocoon, hanging from the light gate, and I don't know how long...... Compared to the state when he first saw the "Gate of Light", Klein, who had completed the confirmation, was quite calm, as if he had expected it.

Phew, then, I can make two "Yesterday Reappear" charms for Will, these charms are of no use to me...... I didn't visit his house this week, and I went to feed the ice cream once a week, which always made people suspicious, and their maids looked at me a little strangely...... Also, now that he has mastered the "meditation painting method" of the divine symbol, the use of the "Time Worm" to make extraordinary bullets can also be put on the agenda, well, Leonard said that he will go to Tingen in the next few days to see if he can steal the power of the mutated sun emblem...... Crane raised his hand and rubbed his forehead, got up and left the couch.

- In a previous tarot gathering, Leonard had handed over four divine symbols and magic symbols given by Parles Zoroaster, all of which were from the realm of "thieves", one that could mislead the enemy and make him make errors in judgment, one that could steal the three extraordinary abilities that the target had used before, and from the most recent one, one could cause him to lose a lot of life and enter a state of aging if it could affect the enemy accurately, and one could create a "time worm" that could not survive for a long time, and quietly "parasitized". "In the target's body, it is manipulated by the person who uses the spell.

Klein's remaining seven "Time Worms" have pre-made three "Stealer" charms, given one to Miss "Justice", and kept two for himself, that is, he still has four "Time Worms", and all four effects can be tried, of course, his intuition tells him that they may not all be successful.

As for Leonard's two "Time Bugs", one became the "Stealer" charm - Leonard prayed to Mr. "Fool" according to the teachings of "World" Gelman Sparrow, and received a response, and the other relied on the help of Parles Zoroasd to make a "parasitic" charm.

After some hectic work, by late evening, Crane had five successes and one failure, obtaining two "Yesterday's Reappearance" charms, one "Parasitic Bullet", one "Deception Bullet", and one "Deprivation Bullet".

The only thing he failed was the "Aging Bullet", and the reason seemed to be that the mysterious spatial power above the gray mist that he could currently mobilize was still lacking.

Looking at the three bizarre bullets with similar appearances, transparent and translucent, Crane breathed a sigh of relief, took out the "Death Death" revolver, and stuffed them into them one by one - there were also the three "spirit control bullets" he had made earlier.

After tidying up the altar, he walked out of the room, went down to the second floor, entered the dining room, and said to Walter, the butler standing beside him:

"You can follow the drawn up list and invite guests who go hunting in the countryside for the weekend. ”

"Yes, sir. Walter had been prepared for this, and he was still so serious and serious.

............

City of Tingen, Zoutlandstraße 36.

Leonard stepped out of the carriage and looked at the rebuilt building with a complicated expression, forgetting to go in for a moment.
