Chapter 148: The Messenger
Klein's answer made Daley chuckle, and the translucent face with only a mouth said:
"Even if you get inspiration from the aphorisms of voyeurs and determine your ideas from my experiences and performances, it only takes a little more than a month to clearly understand the 'play' and summarize your own 'soothsayer's code', which is enough to prove that you have outstanding wisdom and an open mind. ”
Crane didn't dwell on the topic that made him feel weak, and instead asked:
"Ma'am, do the church leaders know about this, this so-called 'playing method'?"
"There is no doubt that they know very well, I have looked through the historical materials of the church, looking for those who have quickly risen through the ranks and ignored the rules, and found that there are not a few bishops like this night watchman, and I am not the most special one, and their ending is ......" Speaking of this, Dai Li deliberately paused, and her tone seemed to be a little heavy.
"What's the end of them?" Crane blurted out, his heart tightened.
Could it be that the Church of the Night Goddess sees the "Playing Method" as a temptation for evil gods and demons?
The translucent face with no eyes, no nose and no ears suddenly laughed: "Their results are quite good, except for the part that lost control and died in the transcendent events, the rest have at least become archbishops or high deacons, among which there is no shortage of strong people who have successfully promoted to the high order, eh, in the church of the goddess, sequence 4 and sequence 3 are collectively called saints, sequence 2 and sequence 1 are earth angels, of course, every angel was once a saint." ”
...... Ms. Dali, you were deliberately scaring me...... The corners of Klein's mouth moved slightly, and he asked without hiding his doubts:
"Since the church has already mastered the acting, why don't you tell everyone who watches the night about it?"
"Although this cannot completely avoid getting out of control, it can definitely greatly reduce the corresponding probability and reduce unnecessary losses. ”
The translucent face with only a mouth was a little confused: "I don't know why, they told me that when I become an archbishop or a senior deacon, I will be able to learn the secret in this regard, I came to you today in the hope that you will tell Dunn the acting method more clearly before submitting a special application." ”
Instead of stupidly asking the other party why he didn't do it himself, Klein said thoughtfully:
"Once you are noticed by the church, you have to make a promise, make a vow, and not tell anyone about the acting?"
"Yes, taking an oath in the name of the goddess in the presence of the holy relics of the goddess is binding enough, believe me, you definitely do not want to know the consequences of disobedience, I can only talk to someone like you who also has the law of playing, your own state has told me the answer before you answered, so I dare to say that term. Daly let the eerie face sigh.
She paused and said:
"I only vaguely grasped the essence of the play, so I quickly digested the potion, yes, in the upper echelons of the church, I think it is very appropriate to use digestion to describe the mastery of potions, in short, before I made the oath and was told the 'play method', I didn't have a very clear understanding of this matter, so I couldn't accurately remind Dunn of them. ”
"I had already given up, but I didn't expect to meet you, a strange person who clearly understood the 'acting method' before submitting a special application, no, genius. ”
That's what you think of me, ma'am...... The corners of Klein's mouth twitched, and he solemnly promised:
"I originally planned to use the special application to remind the captain of the existence of the 'acting law', but with your explanation, ma'am, I don't need to worry about anything. ”
"Good, you're such a kind fellow. There was obvious relaxation in Daly's tone.
Ma'am, you seem to be only two or three years older than me...... Klein mentally pointed out the other party's problem.
Without waiting for him to speak, the translucent eerie face continued:
"If you have any questions, or if you need help, you can write to me, wait for me, hehe, wait for me to become an archbishop or a senior deacon, and learn why the church hides the secret of the 'playing law', and I will hint at you whether this matter is good or bad. ”
Crane perked up when he heard this, and asked without hesitation:
"Ma'am, what's your address?"
For him, one more helper is one more, and this is still a relatively powerful "psychic"!
Facing Klein, who did not shirk at all, Dali was silent for a few seconds and chuckled:
"Our communication should not go through the post office, we should not use normal letters, it is very unsafe. ”
"I teach you a relatively simple ritual magic, which can summon a unique spirit, a spirit that belongs to me, to whom you will write a letter, and it will be delivered to me accurately, not as fast as a telegraph, but faster than a steam train, and you will finish it at noon, and I will receive it that night in Beckland. ”
Crane listened intently, nodded slightly, and said, "Very practical ritual magic." ”
Dai Li chuckled:
"This ritual magic is characterized by praying to oneself and drawing power from one's own spirituality, without going through the gods, and is quite hidden, but often not very powerful. ”
“...... First of all, you choose the herbs and essential oils of the corresponding field, which is no different from normal ritual magic, but the candle only needs to symbolize its own ...... Then, there are the incantations, which have three sections, the first is 'I', which whispers 'I' in Ancient Hermes, Giants, Dragons, or Elves, the second is 'I summon in my name', which can be changed to Hermes, and the third is the specific description of the summons, such as the ones you will use later: the spirit that wanders in vain, the beings of the upper realm who are driven by man, and the messenger who belongs to Dalie Simone alone. ”
In the realm of the occult, this is often referred to as the spirit realm...... Klein memorized the ritual as he analyzed the flow of the ritual.
In this regard, he can barely be considered an expert.
...... The advantage of this kind of ritual magic is that it bypasses the gods and purely uses its own power, and it can obtain a variety of spell effects without being restricted by the realm to which the gods belong, the problem is that it depends on its own strength, the weak will always be weak, and the strong will always be strong...... Klein felt like he had gained new knowledge, a mystery that he couldn't unravel in his current sequence.
Dai Li described it several times, solemnly emphasizing:
"Remember, don't change the description of the summon at will, it can easily attract terrifying monsters. ”
"Okay. Klein nodded honestly.
At the same time, he suddenly thought of something:
If you change the description of the summon to "Fool who does not belong to this era, mysterious lord above the gray mist, king of yellow and black who wields good luck", what will it summon?
Is it completely ineffective, or is the gray fog coming down suddenly, or does it require me to go to that mysterious space to respond?
Won't this help me pry more power on top of the gray fog?
Will this have some terrible ripple effects?
Klein, who had just successfully died on the "Mutated Sun Emblem", still had a lingering fear, and finally complied with his heart's wishes, planning to go to the gray mist for a divination before deciding whether to try it or not.
He thought for a moment and asked with interest:
"Ma'am, if the 'play' method is strictly used, how long does it take to go from Sequence 8 to Sequence 7, and how long does it take to go from Sequence 7 to Sequence 6?"
"According to the information I've read, Sequence 8 to Sequence 7 are available in three months to two years, depending on whether you can quickly comprehend the core spirit and corresponding rules in the process of playing, Sequence 7 to Sequence 6 takes half a year to three years, Sequence 6 to Sequence 5 is similar, Sequence 5 to Sequence 4, three years to twenty years......" Dai Li roughly described.
Klein suddenly smiled:
"So, ma'am, you're already in Sequence 6?"
He had heard Dunn mention that it took one year for Daley to go from Sequence 9 "Corpse Collector" to Sequence 8 "Gravedigger", and it also took one year to go from "Gravedigger" to Sequence 7 "Psychic", and it was only five years since she became an extraordinary, that is, Dai Li had been at the rank of "Psychic" for almost three years.
"Yes, that's why I was transferred to the Diocese of Beckland. The translucent and strange face replied calmly, "My current profession is 'Necromantic Mentor', however, I prefer the title 'Psychic', well, this little guy is tired, I have to leave, in this case, I will not say that the goddess will bless you." ”
"May you have a good dream. Klein pressed his hand to his chest and smiled and saluted.
"No, there won't be good dreams tonight, I'm going to rush back to Beckland, it's not a pleasant experience, it's like having a relationship with someone you don't like......" Daly's voice grew lower and lower, and the translucent eyeless and nostrilless face slowly retracted into the wall, leaving no trace.
The glow of the gas lamp brightened up, and all the shade and green disappeared without a trace.
Crane, who had been turning on his vision, was stunned to see such a change, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.
"Psychic, no, the Necromantic Master is so powerful that he can make a 'messenger' in the occult realm...... I don't know what kind of special ...... my Sequences 7 and 6 will have," he muttered to himself, quickly lifted the spiritual wall and extinguished the gas lamp in his bedroom, and lay quietly on his bed in the dark.
He hadn't planned to go above the grey fog tonight, but he had to watch out for Dalie's sudden return with the classic Dunn Smith quote, "By the way, I forgot something."
When the time comes, even if you want to kill people, you won't be able to do it!
............
The next day, Klein entered Black Thorn Security three minutes early.
"Good morning, Crane, the new civilian is here!" Roshan greeted with a bright smile.
Klein was sincerely happy for the other party:
"Congratulations, Roshan, the Goddess has heard your supplication. ”
"The state of my skin is coming back!" Roshan nodded with shiny eyes.
After a few pleasantries, Crane walked over to the partition and knocked on the door to the captain's office.
"Please come in. Dunn's mellow voice came out.
Klein pushed the door in, and saw the captain instinctively sit up straight, his gray eyes dark, and he looked ready to find something.
"Ahem. He cleared his throat and sat down with his hat and cane, "Captain, I have something to report. ”
"What's the matter?" asked Dunn in a deep voice with his hands folded.
