Chapter 233: Curiosity
In the face of the "temptation" of the potion formula in Sequence 3, although Crane is still wary of "Zarathu", he is inevitably excited.
And more importantly, he knew that his adventure was actually a test of the goddess...... And since the goddess has not stopped "Zarathu" from escaping from prison until now, it means that he probably wanted to release "Zarathu" with his own hand.
I just don't know what calculations are behind the goddess...... Also, if you let go of Zarathu, will you add a difficult enemy to your future......
As Klein's mind turned, he realized that he didn't have many options.
As "Zarathu" said, in the matter of opening the "passage" and leaving the "Night Country", he and his interests are identical.
However, a new question arises, since I have to find the "slate" and open the "passage" anyway, why does "Zarathu" tempt me with the recipe of "ancient scholars"?
What is he afraid of? And what is the conspiracy?
Just as Klein was pondering what to say, Abner had already seen through his mind and said with a smile: "Don't think I'm doing too much...... Use a recipe to end your kindness of letting me go, this business is actually me. ”
Well, in fact, this is actually both an investment for the goddess and a compensation for making you "take the blame".
"Zarathu" is such a particular person? It seems to be true...... Before he used Russell to steal the "Antigonus Notes", he also gave him enough "reward" in advance, and broke off contact with Russell afterwards.
After temporarily solving the doubts in his heart, seeing that the red moon in the misty town was about to become clear again, Crane did not dare to delay any longer, and used the symbols on the second line of parchment on the ground as the medium to divination, and finally got a vague hint.
Then, he raised his right hand, snapped his fingers, and lit a candle near another wall, away from him.
At the same time, he attached the "ghost" Segnor to himself, leaped forward, and rolled over to the nearest façade, and then out of the church.
Seeing Mr. "Fool" leave, Abner turned to look at the statue of the "Mother of Heaven" and asked thoughtfully:
"Do you want Klein to open the 'door' to Vicente Miranda's sleeping place? In this way, some existence is misjudged? ”
The second line of "space" on the parchment was also opened by Abner when he first came here, and he knew that it actually recorded three "symbols" that opened the door, one leading to "Antigonus", one meaning "goddess of the night", and the last one symbolizing Vicente Miranda, the "lord of the souls", that is, the "Archon of Death", the "Liubo" who slept in the depths of Calderón.
"Do you think the week will open?" The voice of the goddess with a faint smile sounded.
"Yes!" Abner replied in the affirmative.
If a "cat" doesn't have this "curiosity", it wouldn't be a "cat"!
In particular, if you just use symbols to open the "door", there is not much danger.
"That was Zhou's own choice, not me 'making' him do it." The goddess said softly.
But sometimes the result of the choice often lies in the setting of "options...... Abner muttered to himself, and then asked, "You let 'Zarathu' out of trouble to distract Amun, so that he wouldn't find Klein too soon, right?"
"After all, in Amon's eyes, whether it's Alvin Abraham or Zarathu, it's likely that you're really supporting the 'mystery'."
Who would have thought, but the goddess said meaningfully: "Amun is actually not a problem...... With you, there is no need to be in such a hurry when a new 'mystery' is born. ”
The birth of "mystery" is not in a hurry? What about the seal of the West Continent? The end is coming, if you can't get those "essentia", how can you solve the problem of insufficient combat power on the earth side?
Do you need me to open the seal? But does the "Unknown" really have enough power to open the seal set by the "Lord of Mystery"?
Abner was about to ask again when Crane's figure reappeared in the church, holding an obsidian slate.
Abner had to return to the state of "Zarathu", and at the same time had a premonition in his heart, even if he continued to ask, the goddess might not tell him, and the answer to this matter had to be investigated by himself.
At the same time, Klein was in a very good mood...... No, it's just a joy of heart.
After seizing the "Obsidian Slate" from one of the "Reapers", he obtained not only a Sequence 5 trait, but also a "stomach pouch" made up of a large number of extraordinary properties from different paths, which was apparently left behind by some "strong man" who had eaten many extraordinary beings without a choice of food.
Although it is not yet possible to determine its value, based on a rough estimate alone, Klein feels that it is worth at least a hundred thousand gold pounds.
Of course, it had to be after they were "separated", and the side effects of this "stomach bag" now were amazing, and if it weren't for the upgraded "wriggling hunger" that could barely deter it, Klein wouldn't have dared to pick it up at all.
"When I get back, I'll ask Miss Messenger to help crush this 'stomach bag', after he 'ate' one of Si'a's arms outside Byam before, after a month of digestion, he should have recovered to the angelic level, right?
"It's just that Miss 'Messenger' has always been very expensive, and I don't know what kind of offer she will give this time......
Crane pondered as he walked up to Zarathu, placed the obsidian slate on the second line of parchment on the ground, and saw the symbols.
And among them, Antigonus and the symbols of the goddess are no strangers to him.
"Which of these three symbols leads to the outside?" Klein thought about it for a moment and asked "Zarathu" for advice.
"Will you believe what I say?" Abner glanced at him before chuckling, "You'd better try it yourself!" ”
I hate people like you the most, you talk about everything ambiguously, and you always laugh and don't say anything...... Although I do not believe you. Klein complained in his heart, and instead asked:
"Can you tell me the recipe for the 'Ancient Scholar' now?"
"Yes." Abner nodded, and then casually pointed to the ground, and lines of writing appeared on the ground, which was the recipe of the "ancient scholar".
Crane stared intently, letting every word come into view - he didn't need to remember it immediately, anyway, after leaving the "Night Country" and returning to the "Gray Mist", he could rely on Mr. "Fool" to activate his memory.
However, he still deliberately glanced at the ritual, and when he saw the description of "completely detached from reality for at least three hundred years, taking potions after he has become history and does not belong to the current era", he nodded silently, because this is consistent with what Russell recorded in his diary, and the recipe given by "Zarathu" should be true.
Next, as Abner expected, after a fierce ideological struggle, Klein still couldn't resist the curiosity in his heart, and not only planned to experiment with those symbols one by one, but even added half of his "fool's" "pupilless eyes" and half of "twisted threads".
While experimenting with the symbol of "Antigonus", he saw the tentacles made of countless maggots hugging each other, and saw the blasphemous card under the throne where the tentacles were located - the "Fool" card!
Although he had already known the name of the sequence 0 of "Fortune Teller" from Mr. "Tower", Klein was still shocked, and he also had some guesses about the purpose of the goddess's "trial" for himself this time.
As an "investor", the goddess not only showed her own "capital", but also took the opportunity to observe the ability and advantages of me, the "entrepreneurial god......
Abner said that the goddess is also a fellow countryman...... She wouldn't be a manager at a venture capital firm before she crossed over, would she?
Crane sighed and experimented with the symbol that looked like a "skull with a crown", but this time, he only saw a thick, soaking coffin in the water of an illusory river.
However, such a simple scene made his spirit crazy and warned, as if something terrible would happen to him if he watched it any further.
Klein didn't dare to slack off, and immediately closed the "channel".
"Where is this? The smell is very weird! Klein was shocked in his heart, and just wanted to ask "Zarathu" again, but as soon as he turned around, he found that the other party had disappeared at some point.
"Could it be that that terrible place just now is where Zarathu really wants to go? What's in that coffin? His body? ”
While Klein was speculating, some of the beings who had been staring at the "Calderon City" also discovered a little abnormality in its depths, and investigated the reason.
……
In the wee hours of the morning, Beckland.
Abner, who had retrieved the projection of "Zarathu", once again made his way to Vera's bedroom through "teleportation", and met with Her Royal Highness the princess, who seemed to have been waiting for him for a long time.
"Congratulations on regaining your former strength...... An angel of the House of Abraham, my brother has ordered MI9 to do all its best to find information about Abraham. Vera said with a smile.
Although she is not an extraordinary person in the Potions sequence, she is also a real "angel" person, even higher, and naturally received Abner's "broadcast".
"The 'fate' that has been arranged a long time ago has nothing to be proud of." Abner shook his head slightly, not wanting to talk too much about the topic, and instead said, "Vera, you can tell George III and ask him to arrange a meeting with Owen and him." ”
Vera was a little surprised, but then realized something, and said with a smile: "It seems that with the power of the angel level, you are going to start planning to avenge that Miss Hugh Dilcha!" ”
"Now that you have the power, there are some things you have to do...... "Abner nodded, then looked at Vera again, and said softly, "Of course, this is also to help you ascend to the throne and complete the ritual of consecration." ”
Hearing this, Vera glanced at Abner with a smile and said angrily:
"It's going to say something nice!"
