Chapter 397: Abner Who Almost Lost His Discipline (Gagen)
Although there is speculation, Klein has no intersection with the famous heroic detective in reality, so it is difficult to ask directly, so he has to skip this question and ask about the Book of Secrets instead.
Marić gave a brief introduction to the author of the Book of Secrets, the "Witch King" Karaman, and the general content of this occult book, saying that this book is an expert book in the field of occult such as secret deeds, rituals, alchemy, astrology, symbolism, and natural interaction.
Sounds great...... Although a lot of the content seems to be duplicated with "Blood Feast", Mr. "Tower"'s blood book is only the first half and lacks advanced knowledge, and now this "Secret Book" is just the right supplement for what I need......
However, this task is not only difficult in itself, but also has a certain amount of trouble afterwards, and the "Rose School" is a secret organization with a history of thousands of years...... Klein pondered for a few seconds, and tried to bargain:
"It's a very big and dangerous thing, and a single occult book isn't enough for me to risk it......"
Sharon listened quietly, staring at Klein with blue eyes, and said in a cold voice:
"What do you want?"
"The mutated pituitary gland of the Hunter of a Thousand Faces, the characteristics of the shadow of human skin, the golden wings of Gondora, the eyes of the dragon's eye and the sea eagle...... Clues to any of the above materials.
"Also, I've been interested in Russell's manuscripts lately that no one has been able to decipher, and if you have the means to find them, provide me with some.
"Of course, none of these things can be obtained or found in a short period of time, and they can be given to me afterwards."
Klein thought about it for a moment, and deliberately added the needs of Miss "Trial" and Mr. "Hanged Man" to the materials he needed to confuse the public.
Miss Sharon nodded, opened her lips, and said in an illusory voice:
"Yes, I'll do my best to collect it."
Marić also added at this time:
"If successful, the extraordinary traits left over from Sequence 5 will be mine, and one of the powerful extraordinary items 'Crimson Moon Tiara' will belong to Sharon, and all the other loot will also be your reward."
That's a generous offer...... But the more generous, the more dangerous the battle......
After thinking about it for a while, Klein decided to follow his heart's wishes first, go to the source fort to do a divination, and then reply:
"I wish I had some time to think about it......
"Tomorrow at nine o'clock in the morning, I'll give you an answer, well, come to my house, you know the address."
Sharon, who was wearing a black court dress, looked at Klein quietly when she heard this, and then took out a folded piece of paper from a secret bag, which was the spoils she had received that night after protecting Klein in the hands of the "Master of Secret Puppets" - "notarial deed".
After signing the "notarial deed" and promising not to divulge what he had just heard, Klein breathed a sigh of relief, said goodbye to the two moderation extraordinaires, and then went to the one-bedroom apartment he had rented in the East End for a circle before returning to 15 Minsk Street.
As soon as he stepped into the house, he heard layers of illusory supplications in his ears.
This came from a man, and the sound should be Mr. "Tower" to listen.
Klein didn't respond immediately, but pretended to do a few divinations, and he didn't look carefully at the answers that came out of the divination, because the "resentful spirits" of the xenomorphic path can be transformed into spirits, directly contact the spirit world, and obtain information, that is, they naturally have the ability to divination and anti-divination.
After reading the newspapers and books in a regular manner, and practicing his extraordinary abilities in the living room for half an hour, Crane washed and slept "without any abnormality".
After about ten minutes, Crane suddenly got up from the bed, quickly set up the spiritual wall, and then walked four steps backwards to the gray mist.
Sitting on the high-backed chair belonging to the Fool, he first divined whether he had just been watched, and only after receiving a negative answer did he breathe a sigh of relief, spreading his spirituality to Mr. Tower's "Crimson Star".
The scene around him changed, he saw a large hall with a dome made of crystals, two areas divided by different colored lights, a scale that had reached the 10th position, and a beautiful elf and "good food and wine" on the other side......
And when his eyes touched Mr. "Tower", he was startled, because Klein had never seen Mr. "Tower" so embarrassed!
Although he still couldn't see his face clearly, he could cross the gap to the point that his clothes had already been soaked with sweat, and even the other party's whole person was constantly rolling on the ground, just like Sun Wukong who had been recited a mantra.
What's going on? By the way, Mr. "Tower" said before the two tarot meetings that he was going to explore a hidden place, and used the "Russell Diary" to accumulate contributions for this purpose, so that the "Fool" could rescue him at a critical time......
So, is he in danger? But how can I save him? He didn't hold a "secret contract" ceremony......
Klein watched carefully for a few seconds, and muttered to himself rather embarrassed.
But then he heard the content of Mr. Tower's previous "prayer".
"Looking forward to going above the gray fog?" Mr. Ta' thinks that going above the grey fog will save him from the pain he is now suffering?
"He's being attacked on a mental level?"
While thinking in his heart, Klein did not delay, and immediately pulled Mr. "Tower's" spirit body into the gray mist.
……
In the elven trial hall of the Dream Labyrinth Tower, Abner was about to reach the limit of patience due to the delay in getting a response from the "fool", and if it weren't for the belief that "Crane will definitely pull him into the gray mist" as a support, he would have run to the other side to "be happy" with the elves......
Fortunately, just when his head became more and more confused, and his body involuntarily walked to the other side of the "boundary", he suddenly woke up, and all the discomfort before seemed to be non-existent at all, just an illusion.
In fact, spells that act directly on the spirit are not wrong to be hallucinations......
Looking at the endless gray mist below, and the familiar old mottled table in front of him, Abner exhaled, stood up, and "respectfully" thanked Mr. "Fool" who sat at the top.
"It's an equivalent exchange." Mr. "Fool" replied first, and then asked with a smile, "Are you exploring the ruins of the elves?" ”
To be precise, this is actually a Xibei product simulated by the "Dream Labyrinth Tower...... Abner answered in his heart, but he didn't tell Klein about the "Dream Labyrinth Tower", only "reported" about the "Temple of Trials" and the "God of Luck".
It's not that he doesn't trust Klein, it's about the "Dream Labyrinth Tower", and he signed a "notarial deed" with Mr. Gaston. Even if the power of the "notarial certificate" cannot be transmitted to the "source fort", the integrity of being a person still restricts Abner from revealing it at will.
"Temple of Trials"? "God of Luck"? It's no wonder that during the last Tarot meeting, Mr. "Ta" specifically asked the elf "from the gods" when he was communicating with the "sun" alone......
However, the elf king actually invented the way to eat "blood wang", and also used "chopsticks...... Could it be that He is also a time-traveler?
Klein listened to Mr. "Tower" while thinking, and after hearing the other party's idea of avoiding the test of "will" by entering the gray fog, he couldn't help but secretly complain: Do you know that this is "cheating"? But I'm afraid I'll choose this way if I do it, after all, I'm afraid of pain...... Well, this shows that Mr. "Tower" is indeed very unique in his way of thinking about problems, worthy of being the one who "developed" a series of ways of using "fools......
When Abner finished speaking, Mr. "Fool" deliberately chuckled and commented lightly: "Very interesting test method. ”
"Indeed, I suspect it may be the embodiment of some kind of 'mystical reproduction'...... And I like such a calculating and torturous scene, eighty percent of it is something that a psychic dragon has done. Abner nodded, and took over.
"Mysterious reappearance"? What is that? The ability of a certain pathway? Let the mysterious events that happened happen happen again?
Mr. "Fool" had never heard of the word, but he could guess a thing or two literally, but on the surface he only smiled incomprehensibly and said no more.
At this time, the more you talk, the more likely you are to show timidity.
Abner naturally knew that Klein probably didn't know the high-level signature ability of the "Voyeur" path at this time, so after estimating the time, he continued:
"Almost, please send me back...... My opponent is a member of the Morse Ascetic, who is more familiar with the Mystic Reappearance than I am, and may have passed this level...... I can't afford to fall behind. ”
Morse Ascetic...... It turns out that "mysterious reappearance" is the ability of the "voyeur" path...... After nodding thoughtfully, Mr. "Fool" checked the trial scene through the "Crimson Star", and found that the "boundary" was indeed close to scale 12, so he said in a low voice, "Okay." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Mr. Tower's figure disappeared into the space above the gray mist.
Crane sat on a high-backed chair, stared at the "Black Emperor" card on the surface of the bronze table, and couldn't help but say to himself:
"Mr. 'Tower' didn't notice this card? Or notice but don't ask?
"Hey, I put it here...... It's a bit of a flattering look for a blind man......"
Looking at the image of Russell holding the scepter again, dressed in pitch black and notorious, the corners of Crane's mouth turned slightly, and he stretched out his right hand to flip the "blasphemy card" face down.
He then began to divinate the "Miss Sharon Deal".
There is danger, the danger is greater, but as long as it is dealt with properly, it is not to the point where it can be life-threatening......
Klein looked at the interpreted "result", leaned back on the high-backed chair of the "Fool", and after a few seconds of silence, looked up at the majestic ancient palace and the boundless gray mist, and said with a smile:
"Since the 'magician' needs to take the initiative to perform......
"So, let me put on a big show on this stage."
