When it comes to understanding the ancient gods, Crane is no less than many high-order powerhouses, after all, there is a silver city behind him that has continued from the Second Age to the present, where the corresponding myths are inherited, and many influences remain.

As far as he knew, Gregary, the ancestor of the immortal birds, was the so-called ancient god of death, who was severely injured by the creator of Silver City, the sun god who was eaten by the king of angels, and fell at the end of the second age.

However, his influence has not faded away, and there are still some traces of it in the current era, because he is the pioneer of the underworld!

The City of the Dead ...... "Unknown Spirits"...... Old Gods...... That's dangerous...... Klein looked at the radio receiver in front of him and fell into deep thought.

Da

"I don't know anything else.

"Great host, I have a suggestion, would you like to hear it?"

That's a good question...... Crane retracted his thoughts and bowed his head slightly

Say. ”

The clatter of the radio receiver suddenly became light, and a line of words quickly appeared on the illusory white paper

"For Calderón's questions, you can ask 'Red Light' Almoria. ”

In the end, I still can't get around the "red light"...... Crane nodded slightly, and asked instead

"Will it be dangerous if I unmask 'Admiral Hell' Ludwell?"

"No!" a resolute word leaped into Klein's eyes.

That's good...... He thought for a moment

"That's all for today. ”

"Great master, wise master, wait a minute or two, and there will be an eye on you!Your loyal servant Arodes awaits your next call, goodbye~" The clatter of the radio receiver did not hesitate at all.

A minute or two left? Why didn't you say it earlier? Crane was shocked, as if he had seen the countdown of a time bomb, and hurriedly used the materials that had not yet been removed from the altar to perform a sacrifice ceremony, and threw the radio receiver above the gray mist.

After doing all this, and making sure that there were no anomalous changes around him, Crane asked his secret puppet Ludwell to step aside, avoid the front, and take off the silver-white mask on his face.

A deep, pale glow erupted, but not as exaggerated as the last time Crane had fought Ludwell, covering a small area around him, like a candle about to burn out.

At the same time, the cold and gloomy darkness of the nearby jungle as the radio receiver was sent back above the gray fog reappeared, and there was a more indescribable but heart-wrenching horror.

It reminded Crane of the cemetery, of the legendary underworld.

After waiting for a few seconds, seeing that there were no additional anomalous outbursts, he asked another secret puppet, Enzo "The Winner", to go around directly in front of "Admiral Hell" Ludville and take a closer look at the face that had been hidden by the mask for a long time.

The face lacked flesh, skin clinging to bone and colorless, transparent as crystal.

Beneath the "crystal", indescribable transparent shadows are flowing rapidly, sometimes combining with the skull, sometimes shrinking into the gaps, appearing on the teeth.

In the first month or two of time, Crane would definitely be scared half to death by the appearance of the "Hell Admiral", but now, he has seen too many strange out-of-control people and deviants, and he will not be shaken by this level of appearance at all.

After another "study", Klein completely figured out the state of Ludeville.

This is all due to the special nature of the "gatekeeper" itself

In Sequence 5, after becoming a "gatekeeper", the extraordinary can use the body as a cage, which is the exclusive "underworld", containing a certain number of souls, the dead, and natural spirits, so as to obtain various unique abilities, have powerful helpers, and have to carry an army of undead everywhere, which is very eye-catching.

In many folklore, this has evolved into a story of the "spirit behind the scenes".

- The other meaning of "gatekeeper", and the oldest one, is to guard the "underworld" in the body, so that the contained spirits cannot escape and can use them, which is also symbolized by an illusory door that is open to the other.

And the "Ancient Reaper", after the immortal bird ancestor Gregaret opened up the underworld, it was equivalent to giving a small amount of authority in the realm of death to all the "gatekeepers", so that all the extraordinary people in this sequence gained a certain degree of strength improvement.

The reason why Ludwell, the "Admiral of Hell", always wears that mask is because he houses a powerful underworld creature that he uses on the one hand, and on the other hand, erodes his body in reverse, transforming him into a half-undead, half-human being, and at the same time, this creature always instinctively connects to the underworld, trying to open the door and return there.

This, combined with the power and authority of the "Gatekeeper" itself, as well as the amplification of the Ring of Death, allowed the "Admiral of Hell" Ludville to amplify the "Gates of the Underworld" and directly control the "Black Tulip" to enter.

Half-undead, half-human...... No wonder Ludwell dared to enter the underworld, a real living person would not be able to survive there for even a second...... Well, that underworld creature brought him the special spirit of part of his body, which can extract other people's spirits from the air, and I have encountered it in the first place...... Crane abruptly let "Admiral Hell" put that silver-white mask back on.

The mask served as a requiem, keeping the underworld creatures in Ludville's body in a relatively calm state most of the time.

Cleared of his doubts, Crane turned his attention back to the altar.

He's going to try to "connect" with the Seven Lights of the Spirit Realm.

In this regard, there are special secret rituals and corresponding psychic rituals to choose from, and Klein chose the latter after consideration, because in the secret ritual, he himself has to let go of his heart and spirit, and contact with the pointing being, so as to obtain a certain knowledge, power, help, or spiritual experience, which will lead to his own mind and secrets being also open to that being.

And the psychic ritual has two kinds: direct communication and requesting the other party to descend, because the personality of the seven lights in the spirit world is extremely high, and Klein cannot guarantee that the other party will respond according to the requirements of the ceremony, so although he thinks about the "channeling" of the dialogue in the air, he also makes additional preparations for "séance" to show sincerity.

Lighting the three candles and dripping them with peppermint essential oil and other liquids, Klein deliberately took out a piece of paper and placed it on the altar as a carrier of "séance" - if there is no such thing, the object of prayer will be "séance" on his body, just like when Daniz asked "Lieutenant General Iceberg" Adevina is the same as the séance, which is divided into two situations, one is that the possessed person is completely unconscious, controlled by the corresponding being, answering other people's questions, and the other is that the possessed person remains awake and can control certain parts of the body, so as to answer questions with the séance, the simplest example is that one can speak with the mouth and the other can write with the manipulating hand.

Klein quickly finished the first part of the ceremony, took a step back, opened his mouth, and chanted in Ancient Hermes

"Me!

"I pray in my name

"I pray to communicate with 'the eternal spiritual light, the embodiment of infinite knowledge, the red of authority and will'......"

The biggest difference between this psychic ritual and the normal ones is that it is not possible to invoke the gods, whether it is the "goddess of the night" or the "god of knowledge and wisdom", the honorific name cannot appear in the ritual, otherwise it will inevitably lead to failure.

From an occult perspective, this means that the Seven Lights of the Spirit World do not belong to or serve any of the gods.

As the words that could communicate with the spirit of nature were spat out, Klein saw the three candles swell at the same time, joining together in a slight crackling sound, as if opening a door of light.

The area around the altar suddenly became silent and dark, and a pair of inexplicable eyes looked at each other from different places.

The cold wind blew violently, and all the items on the altar floated into the air except for the three candles, and among them, the paper figure staggered upright, and the surface was dyed a rich, clear and not bloody red.

"Hello. Crane said as he recalled the seven lights of the spirit world as he recounted some of the occult books, following the correct pattern of interaction that had been summarized.

He acted like he was facing a teacher.

The bright red paper figure moved its head lightly and made an illusory but majestic voice

"Hello. ”

Pretty polite, huh...... Sure enough, the psychic turned into a séance, but fortunately there was preparation in advance...... Thoughts flashed through Crane's mind, and he said sincerely and respectfully

"Lord Elmoria, I have something to ask you. ”

"You can just call me El Moria, please. The paper man floating in the air seemed to be more polite than Klein.

"I want to know about Calderón. Klein didn't change his attitude, after all, there is a saying in the Big Foodie Empire that it is not strange to have many people.

The bright red, almost transparent paper figure groaned for two seconds

"May I know your purpose?"

Klein didn't hide it and said calmly

"Hunt spirit marauders. ”

The paper man's head moved slightly

"It's really easy to find only in Calderón, and in other places, the Spirit Marauder is like a drop of water entering the sea, very difficult to tell, even I can only find it occasionally, and I can't lock it for a long time.

"Some of them are active in the core area of Calderon City, and a small number are scattered in the outer layer, as long as you don't try to go deeper, in fact, there is not much danger, but unfortunately, there are some special things there that prevent us from entering the Seven Lights, otherwise we can still have some substantial help. ”

"Is that the kingdom of the ancient god Gregarry?" Crane said in his heart, and asked in a confirmatory manner.

Ming red paper is humane

"Yes, the ancient Grim Reaper wanted to be resurrected through this 'City of the Dead', but He failed completely, and his authority was taken over by Byron, the Grim Reaper.

"However, this also makes Calderon City even more dangerous, because the arrangement left by the Old Gods has changed after the defeat, and I don't know exactly what it has become. ”

That's right...... Crane nodded imperceptibly, and asked a number of questions from different aspects, all of which were answered relatively satisfactorily.

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

Byam, outside a house near the port.

Alger and Gardelia, the "Star General", were patiently waiting for the people inside to have dinner.
