Chapter Eighty-Seven: Advice
"Is it really solved?" asked Elizabeth, still in disbelief.
Klein smiled unhurriedly and nodded:
"Yes. ”
"It's not difficult. ”
The above sentence is a lie to you...... He silently added in his heart.
Maybe Klein has been acting very calm, or maybe this is the only "floating board", Elizabeth didn't doubt it anymore, patted her chest, and said with a long sigh of relief:
"Thank you, you are such a trustworthy gentleman, I was horrified just now. ”
"How's Selena? Is she okay?"
"She might be in a coma for a few minutes, but nothing else, well, it's normal to be weak for two or three days. At this, Klein suddenly straightened his face and said solemnly, "Who is her occult teacher? Didn't he tell her the basic taboos?"
Elizabeth suddenly stood up straight, like a student who had been criticized by a teacher.
She pondered:
Selena mentioned that her occult teacher was Henus Vincent, whom she had met a year earlier at the Divination Club in the Hallses neighborhood. ”
Heinas Vancent...... On the surface, he is guiding the magic mirror divination that has no problems, but in private he is teaching "black divination...... If you know it earlier, you should inform the captain as soon as possible, and check his gas meter as soon as possible...... Crane was slightly annoyed and asked in a deep voice:
"Selena's Magic Mirror divination was also taught by him?"
For Klein, what scares him the most about this incident is that it almost affected his sister Melissa!
Elizabeth nodded cautiously and said:
"Yes, but Selena has tried the magic mirror divination several times before without success, uh, she told me today that she peeked at her teacher's secret spell, and it must be fine. ”
Be a little expert in death...... Klein pinched his temples with a headache and said:
"Do you remember the incantation she chanted?"
Well...... Although Henus Vincent did not take the initiative to teach Selena about the danger, it was obvious that he was trying, and it was only a matter of time before something happened to provoke an unknown and hidden existence, and it must be dealt with as soon as possible to avoid the situation from deteriorating to the point of affecting others......
"Remember part of it. Elizabeth recalled, "She used the Hermetic language of the occult, you know, I was new to it for a while, and all I remember was 'wandering,' 'heroic spirit,' 'creator,' 'dependent.' ”
The Creator?The True Creator?Many Underground Occult enthusiasts do believe in this ancient being revered by many secret organizations...... Yes, at the beginning of the Fifth Age, there was an ancient existence more than a thousand years ago! Klein nodded thoughtfully:
"When Selena wakes up, remember to ask for the full spell and then tell me when you have the chance. ”
"Okay. Elizabeth replied briskly.
But then she was puzzled and said:
"Mr. Moretti, why didn't you ask her directly?"
"I don't want Melissa to know that I love the occult, can you keep it a secret for me?" Klein asked rhetorically.
Elizabeth bit her lower lip and said, her eyes lit up:
"No problem, Melissa does like mechanics to mysteries, reason to intuition. ”
Klein pressed his hand holding the hat to his left chest, bowed gentlemanly, and said:
"Thank you for your understanding, and Selena, you know, she's not a person who is good at keeping secrets. ”
More accurately, she likes to share secrets with others. Elizabeth agreed.
Klein put on his hat and thought for a moment:
"When Selena woke up, you remember telling her that she suddenly fainted and broke the mirror. I think her memory must still be stuck in the beginning, not long after the magic mirror divination. ”
Seeing Elizabeth nodding, he straightened his face again and said:
"Remember, whether you're doing divination or trying other occult knowledge, don't ask for anything other than the seven gods!
"If I hadn't found out in time today, if I waited for another ten minutes, Selena would have become a monster and an evil spirit, and no one would have survived, including me!"
Thinking of the cold "Selena" in the mirror, Elizabeth did not doubt Klein's statement at all, and sighed in fear:
"I know, I remember, I'll supervise Selena too. ”
"Alright, you go in and take care of Selena. Crane raised his silver-encrusted black cane and strode to the top of the staircase.
As he walked, his eyes deepened, his gaze retracted, and he took out a one-pence copper coin in his right hand, which flicked into the air with a thud.
"Selena has no problem. ”
"Selena has no problem. ”
......
Crane repeated the statement quickly, reaching out to catch the tumbling copper-colored coin, and saw that it was George III's head facing up.
This is not a simplification of the "Spiritual Pendulum Method", but a simplification of "Dream Divination", just at that moment, Klein used meditation to force himself to fall asleep, and the "God" wandered in the spirit world, and the front and back of the coin were explicit symbols.
The avatar is correct, the number is wrong!
Great, no problem...... Klein lets the brass-colored coins swirl happily around his fingertips.
A simplification that can only be done by a "soothsayer".
............
Elizabeth gazed at Crane's back, saw the flying pennies, and saw the casual catch.
It wasn't until Klein disappeared at the top of the stairs that she turned to enter the bedroom, where she saw Selena lying on the floor, with shards of glass on her side.
She held her breath, stood on tiptoe, and looked at the fragments of her glasses to make sure there was no longer a cold "Selena" in it and reflected the ceiling.
Whew, Elizabeth was completely relieved and let out a long sigh of relief.
However, after several attempts, she failed to help Selena to the bed, but woke up the other party.
Elizabeth...... What's wrong with me? Am I drunk?" Selena asked a little weakly, her bright eyes much darker and more confused.
Elizabeth thought for a few seconds, then replied with unusual seriousness:
"No, Selena, something is wrong with you, your magic mirror divination has provoked a bad existence. ”
"Really?" said Selena, who sat weakly on the edge of the bed with Elizabeth's support, rubbing her temples, "I just remember that I just started divination in the Magic Mirror. ”
Elizabeth half-truths:
"You just seem to be a different person, and you in the mirror are even a little different from you in reality...... I was scared, I surprised you under the pretext, took you into the bedroom, snatched your mirror, smashed it on the carpet, and then, then, you fainted. ”
"Goddess bless, you're normal now!"
"I, I don't remember...... Selena muttered palely.
The more she thought about it, the more her mind went blank and the more scared she felt.
Subconsciously, she looked up at the desk and noticed that the placement was noticeably different from before.
What's going on...... Selena thought hard, and only vaguely remembered a figure wearing a black tuxedo and a half-height silk top hat, not strong, not tall, but quite straight.
"Selena. Elizabeth said solemnly, "The last time I went to the underground market to buy amulets, I met an occult expert, he told me that at any time, don't pray to beings other than the seven gods, otherwise it will inevitably lead to disaster, promise me, don't try again, I don't even know if I can save you just now!"
Selena was also frightened, and nodded busily:
"No, I'll never try again!"
"Well, what exactly do you mean when you use the magic mirror for divination, and if you ever have the chance to meet that occult expert again, I'll help you ask for advice. Elizabeth asked, pretending to be casual.
Selena rubbed her temples and thought for a moment:
"The wandering Heroic Spirit, the family of the True Creator, gazes into the eyes of fate. ”
............
Da, da, da.
As Klein descended the stairs, he carefully straightened the folds of his clothes and patted them clean of dust.
Then he took off his half-height silk top hat, carried his silver-encrusted black cane, and walked slowly back to the long table.
"Where have you been? It's been almost ten minutes. Selena's brother Chris just folded and asked sideways.
Klein smiled and said:
"Bathroom, then went to the second floor and met a few young ladies and ladies. ”
"I appreciate your directness. Chris hahaha.
He had red hair, a small figure from his family, and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his face, and was a very capable solicitor.
If you knew I went to the second floor and stunned your sister, you wouldn't have said that...... Klein modestly said:
"Just to discuss some academic issues. ”
...... in the occult
He put his hat down, returned to his seat, waited until the next hand started, and got two hole cards.
Cocking the corner of the edge, he saw a king of spades, an ace of diamonds.
Luck is getting better...... Is this the reward for good deeds? Klein took out the copper coin and prepared to place a bet.
Since the spell was not revealed to Selena by Henas on his own initiative, there was no need to be too eager to inform the captain...... He thought.
In the rest of the game, he maintained a tight hand play, only bet when he had a good hand, and did not catch uncertain bluffs, and the overall win or loss was not large, and by the end of half past ten, he had won 6pence.
"I won 2 soles and 8 pence. Benson played with the notes and pennies in his hand.
"I didn't expect you to be a poker expert. Klein smiled and praised.
"No, I don't play cards much, but I know that it's the same as negotiating, you have to hide your hole cards, see through other people's hole cards, and then use all kinds of methods to scare him or lure him......" Before Benson could finish speaking, he saw Melissa and the others coming down from the second floor.
"It's time to go home. Crane glanced at his sister and her friends, rubbing his temples.
The throbbing pain in his head was still there.
Crane then went to the second bathroom, and took the opportunity to pass by and learned the full spell from Elizabeth.
Returning to his brother and sister, he smiled and said:
"By the way, I suddenly thought of something, I need to go back to the office, let's go to Zotland Street first? ”
