Chapter 54: The Messenger
Crane sat in the captain's room, preparing a ritual to summon spirit creatures.
The perimeter of this ritual is filled with quite a few spirit-related herbs as well as hydrosols and essential oils that are popular with spirit-realm creatures.
There will be no surprises in the ritual on the Lost Country, and no matter how bad it is, the ritual of summoning the messenger will fail. And with Klein's belief that he was connected to the items left behind by the Great Lord above the Spirit Realm, it was unlikely that his summoning ritual would fail.
Crane had already determined that with the ship's maker being the real creator, Crane would have plenty of time to sever the occult ties even if he used rituals to communicate with some extraordinary people who would hit people along the net.
After a moment's reflection on his request, Crane snapped his fingers and rubbed the spirit to light the candle that symbolized himself. This method of making fire, while unscientific, is quite occult.
After a brief pause, Crane was ready to summon a courier who met his requirements and could evade the tracking of other terrifying creatures in the spirit world.
The summoning was successful, but the moment Crane saw the courier's face, he found that the courier had disappeared in an instant, and he could no longer find the guy.
That's too fast, isn't it...... Crane felt a toothache and turned on his vision, trying to find the messenger's spirit line, but suddenly found that the messenger's pitch-black spirit line was almost connected around him, which was obviously his eyes could not keep up with the speed of this spirit creature.
In desperation, Crane could only end the summoning of this spirit creature, and after the surrounding scene was over, Crane hesitated for a moment, he probably guessed what was the reason why the messenger he summoned was so outrageous.
In the case of the Source Castle, the spirit creatures will be attracted by the aura of the ordinary extraordinary person who currently occupies the position of "Spirit Master", which is quite likely to make the last summoned spell work beyond Crane's expectations.
In this way, perhaps if I summon a spirit creature that is "easily overlooked", I may not even realize where it is...... Klein thought for a moment, but was still ready to make no other attempts, and revised the last sentence to "a unique being who is willing to communicate with me".
If I find a being willing to communicate with myself, I can ask if it would like to be my own messenger. Even if it doesn't work, maybe these spirit creatures can provide other help, such as helping me find other, weaker spirit creatures to use as good messengers......
The first summoning spell, I limited it to "spirits wandering in vain", and if I summoned spirits, I should not summon some high-ranking extraordinary beings who have malicious intentions towards me, such as Amun......
While thinking about it, after reciting the summoning spell, Crane was a little apprehensive for a while, because he didn't know what it would be.
βand then a neutral voice came from the void.
"Who's calling you Uncle Medici?"
As a rather arrogant voice emerged from the air, Crane saw patches of jet-black armor covered in blood-red streaks. He stopped the summoning without hesitation, leaving only Medici to curse.
How did you summon this out...... Crane was a little crying and laughing, it was obviously unrealistic to have this angel of war as his messenger. Not to mention whether this person would run away to do anything else, just based on his relationship with the real Creator, it was not suitable for Medici to come and help him.
I guess there is something wrong with my summoning spell, and I shouldn't limit it to "unique beings who are willing to communicate with me", which may summon other special beings who are kind to me but are extremely powerful...... Hey, it's not a good thing to be popular.
After a brief moment of thought, Crane changed his summoning spell once more:
"A spirit that wanders in vain, a friendly creature to be driven, a unique being willing to be my messenger."
This time, Klein defined his last summoning as "a unique being willing to be his messenger", so that instead of summoning more strange creatures, he would be relatively powerful and relatively normal spirit creatures.
Crane waited silently for a few seconds.
"Hello...... Eh, why did you cut the queue for this little girl! β
I don't know if it's a hallucination, but after Crane recited this summoning spell, he faintly heard a slightly old voice. The old voice was fleeting, making Klein think it was his hallucination.
He shook his head and couldn't help but say to himself:
"Hallucinations?"
The next moment, the wind in the spiritual strength suddenly became intense, and the summoning ritual reacted directly. And in the air in front of Klein, a translucent spirit creature slowly emerged from it.
First, a head with blood-red eyes and smooth blonde hair appeared in front of Crane. However, it was not the neck that followed, but an illusory palm. There were other heads in the palm of this hand, and they appeared in reality and turned their heads to look at Crane in front of them.
So many heads...... Could this be an evil spirit like Medici, the Angel of War? It doesn't look like that voice was a hallucination, what was it that I was supposed to summon......
Crane couldn't help but sneer, and he looked up at the translucent lady in front of him.
"Yes......"
"You're ......"
"Summoning ......"
"Me?"
Good guys, these heads are still opening their mouths one by one, so it seems that they cooperate quite well with each other...... Ahem, what was I thinking...... Klein retracted his mixed thoughts and replied solemnly:
"It's me. Will you be able to survive in the spirit world? How fast do you travel in the spirit realm? β
Klein didn't want to find a messenger to sign a contract only to find out that the messenger didn't have the ability to deliver letters.
After getting the headless woman's display, Klein asked seriously:
"Will you then sign a pact to be my messenger?"
"Can ......", "Every ......", "One gold ......"
The last head opened its mouth, but it couldn't grab the words, and the expression on his face looked very lost.
Send a letter for a gold coin? Hey, the postage is still quite high - no, I don't necessarily have to pay for it myself, in fact, I can choose to pay on delivery!
Klein reacted quickly, his thoughts racing in his head, and he agreed to the other party's request:
"Then let's sign the contract."
The messenger had good intentions towards him, and seemed to be a very powerful spirit creature.
"Wait a minute...... "The head that couldn't speak just now quickly spoke, snatching the first sentence away. Looking at Klein's somewhat puzzled look in front of him, the four heads turned their heads in unison, and each spat out a word from his mouth:
"...... over there", "There is ......", "My ......", "Student."
Your students? Klein was stunned for a moment, and then took a closer look at the lady in front of him in a complicated long dress.
This dress is very similar to what Sharon is wearing, and the two of them are dressed to a certain extent. Judging by the appearance of this lady, perhaps he was also an "alien" before he became an evil spirit, that is, an extraordinary person of the "prisoner" path......
Klein decided to test it first:
"The Rose School?"
"Sharon ......", "Temperance ......", "The Extraordinary."
Sure enough, it's Miss Sharon's teacher, it seems that this time it can attract you over, and there is a certain degree of extraordinary characteristics aggregation, so are you really okay like this? The last one you didn't answer the conversation had a bad expression.
Looking at the expression of the last head of the lady in front of him, Klein complained in his heart, he nodded, and said in a deep voice:
"She's now a crew member on my ship, do you need to talk to her?"
"No need to ......," the last head of the lady spoke.
"I'll ......," "I'll ...... myself," and "Find her."
All right...... This is very much in line with my impression of the evil spirits left over from high-ranking existences, and Medici used to look for trouble every day when he was in the Aurora Society.
Crane nodded slightly, took out a prepared contract from his bosom, and reached for a pen to add a clause to the contract to send a letter and a gold coin, and pointed out additional terms that could be borne by the recipient.
After a slight hesitation, Crane chose to try to use the Reaper's name on this necromantic contract with the help of the Goddess of the Night, who has now clearly stated that she controls the "Artificial Death".
Klein is going to take this opportunity to see how much the Night Goddess has accepted the Grim Reaper's faith, so that Klein can also confirm the strength of his propaganda when he helps the Goddess of the Night transform the Grim Reaper's image in the future.
And when the headless woman in front of him signed with her head, Klein noticed the inscription:
"Renette. Tinnicole. β
As the signature fell, the green flames burned the parchment to ashes. The green flames and the remnants of the paper were burning in the air in this dark space, as if they were performing some evil ritual.
After confirming the completion of the contract, Crane looked at Renette in front of him:
"If you're going to talk to your students, you can go over and see for yourself."
"Good ......", "Got it......", "Thank you......" "Reminder."
Crane watched his messenger gradually disappear in place, and after the last head that finally finished a sentence smoothly showed a comfortable look on his face, he couldn't help but shake his head, and lifted the blockade of the captain's room on his "Lost Country".
I finally have a messenger of my own, and this messenger seems to be extraordinarily powerful...... The next step is to prepare to hunt the "Blood Admiral" and head to the Southern Continent, but it is possible that my ship and I will continue to wander around the Sunia Sea in the near future......
Alas, I'm going to find a chance to see how to play the "secret puppet master" recently......
Crane thought as he walked outside, but as soon as he stepped out of his captain's quarters, he found himself outside with a large commotion.
Klein keenly noticed that clumps of white mushrooms had grown in the shadows of the deck that the Lost Country could basically clean by itself.
Mushrooms, riots......
Crane shuddered and looked over the deck in the distance.
I saw that the living corpse had mushrooms growing on its heads, and the fire crows slept peacefully, and the deck and Sharon controlled the debris on the ship and smashed the mushrooms to pieces.
A little further afield, there is Frank, who has been pinned to the ground by Heath Doyle the Bloodless and Gardelia the Star. Plum.
Seeing this scene in front of him, Klein's scalp suddenly tingled.
Is World Mushroom Day coming...... What kind of demon did I unleash?
Crane, who saw that mushrooms had a tendency to spread to other people, couldn't help but think a little pessimistic.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
"Miss Salted Fish, I can give you two choices now, it's too late for you to regret it now."
The high-dimensional overlooking man said in a relaxed tone to the Furth in front of him, who sat on the wooden chair opposite and silently looked at the teacher in front of him.
"The first option is to continue to study with me, and I will provide you with the potions and magical items you need, but you will also need to complete my mission, and maybe even go into some dangerous places."
"And the second option is that I will use a magical item to erase your memories during this time. Then I send you back to Beckland, and you will continue to live your life as a writer in Beckland. β
"Do you choose strength or comfort? It's entirely up to you. β
The high-dimensional lookdown looked at Firth in front of him, asking him a question.
Forth, on the other hand, was silent for two seconds, revealing a somewhat ugly smile.
"Teacher, I choose to learn from you."
"Although you ...... There may be ulterior motives, but I still want to choose to remember it all. Now even if I want to live as an ordinary person, there is no way to go back. β
"And Hugh's current state is also very problematic, if I don't try to become stronger, then I may die in the end of the day you said."
"But teacher, I feel like something is wrong with my memory, can you tell me the truth I want to know?"
Foirth covered his forehead and looked at the high-dimensional downlooker. In the past two days, her perception of the true identity of the avatar of the high-dimensional overlooking person around her has been constantly choreographing from one extreme to another, which also makes Furth feel a little confused.
Although the high-dimensional overhead did not deliberately hide the change of his avatar in front of Furth, this can be regarded as the disadvantage of "substitution".
"Nice acuity." The high-dimensional overhead clapped his hands: "I can tell you who I really am, you can call me ......"
"Hidden Sage."
The second shift is in the afternoon.
