Chapter 57: Above the Gray Mist

On the evening of July 10th, Olawe Island.

After a week-long voyage, the Riptide Seagull made its way to the island of Olawe, in the Central Sunia Sea.

After a short break here, we plan to leave for the "Sea of Beluga" early tomorrow morning.

The whaling industry is extremely developed in the waters north and east of Olawe Island, which is known as the "Moby Dick Sea". The center was in the overseas colony of the Vorsac Empire, the Gargarz Islands, with its capital at Nas.

Due to the distance from the mainland, and only the whaling industry is the most developed in this area, in this sea area, the Fusak military and the Church of the God of War are in a relatively state of contraction and defense, as long as the pirates do not make a big incident, in and out, the official forces are also turning a blind eye.

That's why this area is also known as a pirate's paradise.

There are countless pirates and adventurers who roam the waters.

And the Riptide Seagull will also be one of them.

After a late-night snack, Roman did not choose to follow some of the crew to shore for activities, but returned to his cabin.

Roman's recent progress in learning the ancient Hermetic language has been quite good, and the book Roman's book is called "Notes on the Basics of Abraham", and his learning progress is coming to an end.

In terms of basic occult knowledge, Romance has been slightly supplemented, and it is no longer exactly the previous "inverted pyramid" type of knowledge reserve.

While studying, Roman was planning to start today's divination, and since the previous divination had not received a response, Roman planned to change the divination wording, "The great divination god above the gray mist" to "The great being who dominates the gray mist, I pray that you will give me a hint of divination".

On the one hand, this is more in line with the current situation of higher divination accuracy after the gray fog on the gold coin, and on the other hand, it is also in line with the fact that Klein is only a "great being" and not a real deity, which helps to improve the clarity of the direction.

Roman took out the gold coins as usual and began today's divination.

"Governing the Great Being of the Grey Mist, I pray that you will give me a hint of accurate divination, whether the note in front of me is related to the House of Antigonus?"

"Governing the Great Being of the Grey Mist, I pray that you will give me a hint of accurate divination, whether the note in front of me is related to the House of Antigonus?"

……

Above the gray mist, Crane, who had just finished his attempt to give Mr. "The Hanged Man" a response, was waiting for the remnants of the voice to return to calm, and wanted to wrap himself in spirituality and exit the gray mist.

Suddenly, he saw that in the gray mist, a star that had once twinkled suddenly began to flicker violently again, shrinking and expanding slightly.

An illusory and invisible voice was heard, and it swung in circles.

Crane sat at the top of the long bronze table, his spirituality spreading, and he reached out and pointed at the "star".

He saw something vague.

In the picture, a tall black-haired man wearing a black jacket sits at a desk with books on a wooden table, holding a gold coin with a crown engraved on the surface, and praying.

He was surrounded by some simple wooden furniture, and the layout did not look like a normal study or bedroom.

The dark-haired man's deeper voice came from his ears, in Hermes' voice, "Governing the Great Being of the Grey Mist, I pray that you will give me a hint of the accuracy of divination, and whether the notes in front of me are related to the Antigonus family?" ”

"Gray Mist", "Notes", "Antigonus", ......

Crane, who was worried about the whereabouts of the Antigonus family notebook and was waiting for the Bakerland diocese to escort the dangerous level 2 seal as soon as possible, heard the words "Antigonus" and "note" in the prayer, and subconsciously wanted to pull the black-haired man above the gray mist to inquire about the situation.

But Klein immediately resisted the urge.

This is not in line with his principles, Klein does not want to force people to be dragged above the gray mist, after all, in this dangerous world, no one wants to be involved in mysterious events for no reason.

But listening to the man's prayers, Crane thought for a moment, thinking of his tragic experience after coming into contact with the Antigonus family notebook, and felt the need to remind the man that he would not also suffer misfortune.

I just don't know what the identity of this man is, and whether it will bring me danger, Klein thought, suddenly patted his forehead, and said with a low smile:

"It seems that I haven't really adapted to being a 'soothsayer' yet!"

Sitting on a high-backed chair at the head of the bronze table, Crane reached out and grabbed it out of thin air, summoned a projection of a pen and white paper, and wrote down the "spiritual pendulum" divination sentence:

"Pulling this man above the gray fog would be dangerous for me."

Immediately after, Klein took out the projection of the "pendulum" here from his pocket.

After calming the wobble, Klein half-closed his eyes and calmly recited the words on the blank paper:

"Pulling this man above the gray fog would be dangerous for me."

……

"Pulling this man above the gray fog would be dangerous for me."

……

When his eyes opened, he saw the pure citrine pendant swaying slowly, moving the silver chain to rotate counterclockwise.

Counterclockwise, which represents negation, does not pose danger to me.

Crane no longer hesitated, stretched out his right hand, spread spirituality, and touched the crimson "star".

The gold coin fell into Roman's hand, still face up with the crown on it.

Just when Roman was unsurprisingly about ending today's divination, he saw the dim gold coin in his hand suddenly burst into a cloud of crimson light.

The light was like flowing water, and it instantly drowned Roman.

At the moment when he was completely overwhelmed by the crimson light, Roman vaguely saw a dark red light on his body curl up instantly.

Above the gray mist, in the grand palace, the long bronze tables are mottled and ancient.

Roman's figure appeared above the main hall.

The first time he saw the figure, Crane turned on his spiritual vision and looked over.

Klein saw the man's emotional color in front of him tumbling and changing.

At first, there is a clear fear and even fear in the emotional color, then there is a flash of anger, and then the red and yellow colors of happiness and excitement are mixed and tumbled, and there are a few blues of calm and thinking mixed in.

In the innermost layer of this man's aura, the colors and sensations seemed to be completely unified, and in the depths of his "etheric body" was a dull yellow and red like dusk.

"His astral spirit? Or is it the surface layer of the 'Star Spirit'? In this way, he was not the lucky or unlucky one who accidentally obtained the occult notes, but an extraordinary one, who seemed to be even more powerful than old Neil. ”

While Klein was observing Roman, Roman finally restrained the sudden surge of fear and hatred, calmed down some of his mood, and returned to his rational thinking.

Roman looked up and saw a figure shrouded in a thick gray mist sitting on a high-backed chair at the head of an ancient, mottled bronze table.
