Chapter 136: How to Play the "Secret Puppet Master" (4k5)
"You've already taken your ship to the port of Rune - you're one of the pirate kings this time, aren't you?"
The high-dimensional over-the-top looked at Klein in front of him with a little ridicule in his tone, Klein pulled the corners of his mouth, rolled his eyes and said to the high-dimensional over-the-top:
"I don't think it's any good - it costs me a lot of money to recruit crews after that, and although I don't have to pay the living corpses, I can't make all sailors live corpses."
The thought of the dishes served in the canteen for the living corpses made the corners of Crane's mouth twitch slightly: this demonic dish is probably only Frankry's mushrooms can compete with it.
Rather, these living corpses were the few crew members on the ship who were able to eat Frank's mushrooms.
"Money is earned and always spent."
The high-dimensional overlook patted Klein on the shoulder: "You don't have to save money to buy real estate now—you have to add a little strength to yourself." ”
"I know that." Klein said to the high-dimensional overlooking person in front of him, with some sadness in his tone: "I'm just a little distressed, and besides, I feel that the method I thought of before may not be so practical, after all, neither the church nor the Aurora Society can give me support for the extraordinary person I can trust." ”
To quote the famous "quote philosopher" Russell Huangtao Gustaf: "If I hadn't seen the sun, then I could endure the darkness" - Crane had seen all kinds of treasure maps and mountains of gold coins in the cabin of the "Immortal King", and now the thought of losing them made Crane feel a little painful.
- He will use this money to improve the strength of his team in the future, and then according to Crane's personality, it is impossible for him to find those vicious pirates to fill his team.
Therefore, in the selection of personnel, Klein is bound to spend more money. Since the true Creator and the Goddess of the Night have not been made public, there is no way for him to seek support from the Church of the Night.
And after Klein contacted the Aurora Society, his heart was a little heavier. According to Mr. Z, who contacted him, the situation in the Southern Continent is not very good now, so that the Aurora Society has no way to draw people to assist him as the Pope.
Ever since Rune declared war on Intis, the Republic of Intis has begun a fierce military campaign on the Southern Continent. They started from West Byron and attacked the colonies controlled by the Kingdom of Rune in East Byron again and again, among which there were many extraordinary people of the "hunter" route and the "soothsayer" path, causing great damage to the local facilities and order.
The latter comes from the Esoteric Order and its Special Operations Unit in the Republic of Intis, while the former, under the speculation of the Aurora Society, believes that the source of these hunters is the "Iron Cross Society".
At that time, Mr. Z denounced those Iron Cross Societies and said that they had turned their backs on the Lord, who would have thought that the Iron Cross Society, which sincerely believed in the true Creator on the surface, would launch an extreme attack on the Aurora Society, an organization that also belongs to the True Creator?
And the Aurora Society launched a counterattack as a matter of course - when the Aurora Society was still an old cult, they had always been the only one to surround the Seven Great Churches, and it was the first time that they had been encircled and suppressed like this.
As a result, the Aurora Society is fighting to the south, as well as the Rose Cult in the north and the Intis navy, which is constantly landing.
"And in the present situation, if I rashly accept those adventurers as my companions, I can't tell in the first place whether there are any spies of Amon or the Rose School among them; If that happens, there's a good chance I'll be in danger at a critical time. ”
Klein paused slightly: "And even if I spend a lot of money to recruit many Sequence Seven or even Sequence Six Extraordinaires, it won't be of much use, I don't plan to plunder other people's merchant ships, I don't need so many people." ”
"On the contrary, these people will all be destroyed under the attack of a 'parasitic' or high-ranking extraordinary person, which only adds to the guilt in my heart. As long as I am promoted to a demigod, or even promoted to a higher level of Sequence Three in a short period of time, most of the threats can be easily solved, and the only threats that threaten me are those from the high-level ones. ”
"You're right." The high-dimensional overhead "thought for a moment": "If you have already decided, then follow your own decision - how much has your 'secret puppet master' digested?" ”
"The extraordinary properties of the 'Master of Secret Puppets' have probably been digested by more than half, and now I can control one or two secret puppets, and if I digest all of this potion, I can probably increase it to three. I have a hunch - it's unlikely that I will increase my control limit if I take any more potions from other Puppet Masters. ”
"So, I'm going to go straight to the 'Sorcerer's ritual after completing the current stage of digestion, and after the ritual is completed, I'll go back to Rune to exchange the next sequence of potion recipes with the Goddess of the Night."
With the "Antigonus Family Notes", Crane naturally didn't need to bother to find the potion recipe for the soothsayer's way, as long as he collected extraordinary materials.
But for the Night Goddess's current gratuitous gift, Klein is ready to help the Night Goddess access to the essentia she needs—and the Night Goddess's current gift is probably for this.
Klein analyzed: "I feel that with my current digestion progress of playing two roles, I will soon be able to digest the potion of the 'Secret Puppet Master'. Maybe this is a kind of early play for the 'Sophist', and with the power of the higher sequence advanced to me by the Source Castle, it is a matter of course to digest the previous sequence. ”
"That's true, but you need to be careful, it may have been induced by the former Lord of Mysteries."
The high-dimensional down-looking man said solemnly to Crane, "In the 'memory' stored in my essentia, that Celestial Venerable is capable of deceiving even the outer gods. Thanks to His strength and his violent death in the battle of God, I was brought to heaven by my essentia without encountering the will that it should have been. ”
The high-dimensional seeker is telling the truth, and he is not the same as the one who used to take turns in mastering the "Curtain Garden". Although they are all high-dimensional seekers, there are subtle differences.
Each avatar is composed of the will of half of the high-dimensional overlooking person, plus the will of a quarter of the higher-dimensional person of another timeline and the will of the other quarter of the superseded, all of which belong to a boundary of substitution and substitution.
This is also one of the core powers of the "Breaker", whose status is close to the "grafting" of the "Fool".
"Do you mean that my current meteoric promotion could also be an illusion created by him?"
Klein was suddenly shocked in his heart, and then pulled the corners of his mouth: "But it's useless to think about this now, I already feel the traces of my digestion exactly, if he can even deceive this, unless I don't continue to promote downward, otherwise I won't have any way to deal with Tianzun's deception." ”
"I'm just making a guess." The high-dimensional lookdown calmly said to Klein:
"For now, he should not have woken up. Even if he wakes up, he won't wake up in your body first, and even if you have a source castle, it's still more likely that he will wake up in the body of Mr. 'Gate' or Amon. Because you don't have the extraordinary properties of His will directly contained in you, He needs at least Sequence Two to awaken, and Sequence One to be complete. ”
After all, the demon of knowledge and God have not awakened in me. The high-dimensional overlooking person added in his heart that the path of God had only reached the third sequence by himself, and the demon of knowledge was most likely still sealed in the Western Continent - if he woke up after the seal was lifted, then he would talk about it then.
"Hehe, I'm better worried about this now than I'm worried about Amon." Klein nodded and said self-deprecatingly:
"I can only digest the potion step by step to survive in this world. To put it mildly, if I hadn't been the Master of Mystery, chances were that the Goddess of the Night and the True Creator wouldn't have been helping me anymore. ”
"At that time, I will only be a piece of fat in Amon's eyes with the possession of the Source Castle - even the divinity of them will send me directly to Amun's hands, after all, the appearance of the Lord of Mysteries will allow us to withstand the catastrophe of heaven. If Amun threatens me with someone I care about, then I have absolutely no power to resist. ”
The high-dimensional overlooking person thought about the current Amon, and suddenly felt that after having human nature, he really could do something to help Crane protect the people he cared about in exchange for the fate of the Source Castle - he couldn't help but glance at Crane more, feeling that according to Crane's temperament, it was really possible to agree to Amon's request.
The high-dimensional overlook was secretly glad that he had smeared Amon enough, which made Klein's impression of Amon extremely bad.
"But what's the origin of that friend of yours?" Klein lowered his voice and said in Chinese to the high-dimensional downlooker: "He just looked at you a few times." ”
"He? He's from my family, and now he's mine...... Well, subordinates. The high-dimensional overlook looked at Bethel, who was staring straight at him, and there was no hesitation in his tone: "You don't have to worry about him, tell me what you haven't finished talking about just now - have you already thought about how to do the ritual of promotion to demigod?" ”
"I'm pretty much on the lookouts."
Klein nodded slightly, smiled and said to the high-dimensional overlooking person in front of him:
"I've set two targets at the moment, the first is Ince Zangwill, who tried to set up us in Tingen before, who was seriously injured at the time and is not going to be in great shape at the moment. With that quill all the time trying to write him to death, he should be even weaker than a normal demigod. ”
Crane smiled, "And Mr. Azik has already found his traces in the Southern Continent." Although he used the quill to cover his whereabouts, Mr. Azik found that he was now entangled with the Rose School of the Southern Continent, trying to hunt down a certain Sage of the Church of the Night. Now the new and old accounts can be counted together. ”
"The only question is whether Ince Zangwill, with all his extraordinary qualities as a 'writer,' will be targeted by that one. And in the final battle, will He Himself come and take me away and feed me to His son Amun? ”
After all, the true Creator can come, hehe, let's call him this "mysterious man" who can't even mention his name. He might be able to ...... Klein thought silently in his mind.
"The other option is the demigods of the Rose School, but the base camp of the Rose School is in the Southern Continent, and the demigods in it are even more difficult to kill than Ince Zangwill. And I can't tell if they're Sequence Four or Sequence Three, which I only consider if I can't find Ince Zangwill or if there's a serious danger to him. ”
"Wise, but you shouldn't worry too much about the writer."
The high-dimensional seeker vaguely reminded, "If you have divinity, you can know a little bit of how they behave. He will not be explicitly hostile to you at this stage, and He will even give you gifts to help you complete your promotion ceremony. ”
"He will ostensibly invest in you and Amun. If you defeat Amon, then he will probably only save Amon in the end, and will not retake the 'Source Fort' for Amon. Later, if Amon becomes a true god and needs the 'Source Fort' and cannot find you, he will come with his brother and son to launch a general attack on you. ”
"I still don't understand the feelings of mythical creatures, if I become like this, it would be better for me to die." Klein sighed, changed his words, and said with a slight ridicule in his tone: "Don't mythical creatures care about people? If a person has nothing important in the world and only cares about himself, then he is not a walking corpse. ”
"You might as well say that the nature of mythical creatures is selfishness, and possessiveness, importance, and desire add up to the deepest feelings of mythical creatures. The most important thing for Amon was his father, which consumed most of his emotions. ”
The Higher-Dimensional Lookdown paused slightly, "This is a trait engraved in the depths of the extraordinary properties of mythical creatures, they will want more, they will want to aggregate more characteristics. This is an instinct like people eating and drinking, and sometimes they can suppress this instinct, which is already a precious manifestation of their human nature. ”
"So I'll be glad to tell you." The high-dimensional overhead looked at Klein:
"Our pathways are not adjacent, and even the overlapping dimensions of the domains represented between our essentia are not much. Otherwise, after you and I have become true gods, we are likely to fight each other because of our extraordinary characteristics. ”
"—If the Goddess of the Night and the True Creator were adjacent, then we would not have such a strong alliance even if we were both 'Lost'."
“…… The malice of this world's extraordinary abilities is so great that it's almost like a curse. Klein sighed, he slightly felt the message that his secret puppet had transmitted to him, and turned his head to look at the high-dimensional overlooker:
"We're in place."
"Have you arrived?" The high-dimensional overlooking person was slightly "stunned": "It's pretty fast, then let's get ready to go down." After that, I'll use flesh magic to make Gelman look like and help you drive the Lost Away to create the illusion that you and your secret mate aren't together. ”
"It is estimated that before the next tarot meeting, you will be able to digest the potions and prepare to be promoted to 'Sophist'."
"I hope so."
Klein showed a smile, the appearance on his face suddenly became old, and there were some traces left by his face from running around in the Southern Continent.
He thought about what a middle-aged man should look like, and he bent his back slightly, as if he had become the posture that a middle-aged man should have.
Crane smiled with a gentle and somewhat majestic smile, like an elderly Rune gentleman.
"Hello, I'm Dawn Dantès, a merchant from the Southern Continent."
——
[After discovering Ince Zangwill's traces, Azik Eggers traveled to the northern part of West Bailang, intending to capture this evil third-rate writer to comfort the soul of his child.] 】
"Ince Zangwill disguised himself with his magical artifact and sent his avatar to the north—"
"Klein Moretti, who was remembered by the gods, traveled with his friend to the south of West Bailang and ran into Ince Zangwill, who was secretly plotting for promotion."
"Do you accept such an ending?"
By the way, the manuscript has been written in the past two days, and it should be able to maintain the update at 12 noon in the future.
