Chapter Ninety-Six: The Music of the Night
The dream that Klein drew for himself was based on 160 Berclund Street, pinched a lot of beautiful women and put them around, surrounded by Daun Dantès, and perfectly created the image of a well-informed and experienced rich man who had to endure in the real world for the sake of wind criticism, and only in his dreams could indulge one or two.
Sitting on the couch and receiving the red wine handed by a young girl, Klein found that his surroundings had changed abruptly, from a villa-type house with bright lights and elegant decorations and many beautiful women to a dark, damp and dirty sewer.
Immediately afterward, he saw five more familiar explosives in his hand.
Isn't that what I planted before?" Crane was stunned for a moment, then feigned startle, hurriedly threw away the explosives, and looked around warily.
Seeing that there was nothing else unusual, he stepped back step by step, groped for a vertical metal staircase, climbed up decisively and quickly, moved the manhole cover, and left the sewer.
As he returned to Berklund Street, the whole dream shattered and he woke up.
Crane opened his eyes and looked at the gold-decorated ceiling in the near-dark room, reminiscing about what had just happened:
"This was done by the 'thief' through the demigod?
"He escaped the pursuit of the night watchman, and remained hidden nearby, because he was afraid that the 'Black Emperor' who exposed his traces would reappear, so he guided the dreams one by one to find the target?
"Quite possibly! If it weren't for the fact that I could stay awake and sane in the dream of someone intruding, I would have been subconsciously driven to repeat the process of planting explosives to detonate the warning, after all, this is something that has been done and remembered......
"Fortunately, I have summed up the rule of 'the master of the secret puppet should hide behind the scenes as much as possible', whether it is exploring the sewers or meeting with Triss, relying on the secret puppet, even if it is not enough distance and has to go over in person, it is also a spirit body, which has been turned around through the gray fog once, and there are also items that interfere with snooping and divination, so that people cannot find out who the real manipulator is, otherwise, they would have been found and targeted a long time ago, and even if they did not die because of this, they would have fled from Bakeland in embarrassment. ”
Thinking of this, Klein was glad for a while, at first he didn't know what secrets were hidden in the sewers, and he didn't expect that there would be demigods at all, but he still abided by the code of the "secret puppet master" and was strict with himself, so he successfully avoided the tragedy of the "performance" being exposed.
Beckland is a dangerous place, and the slightest carelessness can go wrong...... In Klein's sigh, he only felt that the potion of his "secret puppet master" had been digested a little unconsciously.
When his mood calmed down, he said "hey" in his heart:
"It seems that he is still on Berlund Street, and is most likely hidden in Hézel's house, or even beside her.
"Hehe, if this demigod had invaded my dream a minute or two earlier, he would have been able to see the 'Serpent of Destiny' Will Ancetin, although this Angel of Sequence 1 is in a weak stage, but that is only relative to Ulorius relative to the rest of the angels, it should not be too difficult to deal with a sneaky person who can't even directly 'parasitize' Hazel, not to mention other abilities, just revealing a complete mythical creature form, can make the equally weak one suffer serious damage.
"I'm willing to bet Will Onsetin must have foreseen it, so he chose such a time period to avoid being bumped into by other demigods.
"It's a pity that the 'thief' demigod can't understand how dangerous it is to invade dreams at will in Bakeland...... Leonard must have understood this well......"
Crane gathered his thoughts, pretended nothing had happened, and with the help of meditation, fell back into a deep sleep.
When the sun was rising, he awoke, turned over and sat down, took on the form of Gelman Sparrow, and muttered a prayer:
“...... Please tell the 'Hermit' lady that the angel has accepted the condition of 'a way to temporarily regain a certain strength during the weak period', and has promised to trade at the end of June and the beginning of July.
"You can ask Bernadette when I'll be able to see her. ”
After praying, Klein turned back into Dwayne Dantès, got up and went into the bathroom, and took care of his personal problems.
After brushing his teeth and washing his face, he became extremely energetic, and then he took four steps backwards, entered the gray mist, turned the content of the prayer he had just prayed into an image, and threw it into the crimson star that symbolized the "hermit".
............
Docked on the "Future" in a port, "Star General" Gardelia watched Frank Lee set foot on the docks with anticipation, ready to find a place to sell some items, and scrape together 8,000 pounds in cash to buy the extraordinary characteristics of the "Druid", and couldn't help but raise her hand to her forehead, inexplicably a little unconfident.
Although she asked herself that her own level plus occult knowledge and magical items could steadily suppress Frank Lee, who had become a "druid", she remembered the other party's whimsical ideas and terrifying practical abilities, and felt that the problem would not be so simple, and she didn't want to have a watermelon on her head and ears of wheat on her body to go to the tarot meeting on the gray mist.
Fortunately, he doesn't have the potion recipe for the "druid" yet, so he doesn't have to worry about his promotion to rank 5 for the time being...... Gardelia pushed her glasses and relieved herself.
At this moment, the illusory gray mist filled her eyes, and the words of Gelman Sparrow rang in her ears.
The angel agreed?"Star General" Gardelia's expression softened suddenly, and her smile was uncontrollable.
Once she gets that drop of mythical creature blood, it means that she is very close to the demigod level!
- She herself has the recipe for the potion of the "occultist", and she has accumulated contributions before, in exchange for a main material from the Morse Ascetic, and the rest of the one, she also knows which channel has it and how to obtain it.
Wait until July, and in July...... Gadelia pursed her lips, her eyes peeking through behind her thick glasses, and slowly glanced around the captain's room.
............
On Thursday morning, Klein had just finished a classics class when he heard the unreal cascading sound of supplication.
Entering the gray mist, he discovers that the supplicant is Gardelia the Hermit.
The "Admiral of the Stars" asked Mr. "Fool" to tell "the world" that the "Mysterious Queen" had agreed to meet him at 11 p.m. tonight on the south bank of the Tassok River, near the entrance to the bridge, if he was in Beckland.
Bernadette is still stranded in Beckland...... Klein showed up with Gelman Sparrow and responded in the affirmative.
At 10:58 p.m., he entered the bathroom and pulled a paper figure out of his coat pocket.
Syllable!
Klein shook a little, and the paper figure turned into Dawn Dantès, sitting on the toilet, holding a book in his hand, as if he was distracted.
Then, out of thin air, he was three or four centimeters shorter, his face was thinner, his lines were much deeper, and he had become Gelman Sparrow.
Immediately after, the glove on his left palm became transparent, revealing countless illusory shadows.
Klein immediately saw that the colors around him were first intense, then distinct, layered on top of each other, and he himself faded into the real world.
He quickly shuttled through the spirit realm, constantly adjusting his direction according to his position, and in a matter of seconds, he appeared at the entrance of the Beckland Bridge on the south bank of the Tassok River.
At this time, the night was dark, no one was walking on the bridge, and the surroundings were extremely quiet, only a group of soldiers guarding the bridge could be vaguely seen standing not far away.
Klein was about to look for the traces of the "mysterious queen" Bernadette, when he suddenly saw turquoise pea vines hanging down from the sky, weaving into a lush forest.
This "forest" does not see the top of the mountain, and the vines form different paths, interspersed or spiraling, all the way to the sky.
Klein was stunned for only a second, then randomly found a pea vine around it, hanging in the air, and walked forward step by step.
After a while, he saw the green plants in a hammock-like seat, swaying gently from a high place.
The "Mystery Queen" sat there, dressed in a white Intis shirt and dark black jacket, with a thin bayonet sword at her waist, and the standard sea captain dressed except for the tricorne.
She did not show only a pair of black leather boots as she had done when she had contact with Sherlock Moriarty in Beckland, but at this time, her long chestnut hair was naturally draped, and her blue and deep eyes looked over, and she spoke softly but without emotion:
"Thank you for me. ”
I still have a lot of respect for the "fool", well, the few questions I answered before should have solved a lot of her doubts...... Klein, wearing the "mask" of Gelman Sparrow, politely responded:
"Okay. ”
Bernadette's eyes did not move, and she still looked at him and said:
"What's the matter with you this time?"
Klein paused for a second and spoke the language that had been organized for a long time:
"I want to ask you for your help to make him appear to be in a state of long-term erosion by the core power of the seal behind the Chanis Gate of the Dark Night Church. ”
As he spoke, Klein brought the "Resentful Spirit" Señor to his side.
Bernadette looked deeply at the upright "Blood General", and did not ask Sherlock Moriarty or Gelman Sparrow why he knew that he had a way, and said calmly:
"The sealing cores of different churches in the Church of the Night are different, and the state after being eroded is also different.
"Is it the 'Night' path, or the 'Grim Reaper' path, or whatever?
"Is it the diocesan church, or is it the general city center church?"
She directly eliminated the option of the Quiet Chapel, the headquarters of the Church of the Night, because even the King of Angels didn't dare to fight the idea there.
Klein recalled:
"The parish cathedral of the 'night' path. ”
"Mysterious Queen" Bernadette bowed her head lightly and said:
"Then I can let him be corroded accordingly, but in this way, your secret puppet will be basically destroyed, and it can still be used normally at first, but as time goes by, the erosion deepens, and he will gradually fall asleep and never wake up again. ”
"Can you keep the total erosion as long as possible?" Klein asked, feeling distressed.
"Blood General" Seigno, the secret puppet, is the most valuable of all his possessions!
Bernadette said with a flat expression:
"Up to two months. ”
Klein struggled inwardly for two seconds, and replied expressionlessly:
"Okay. ”
He immediately put his hand on his chest and bowed:
"Thank you for your help. ”
The "Mysterious Queen" Bernadette did not speak again, retracted her gaze, stretched out her right hand, and sketched out words in the air that were different from the language of giants, dragons, elves, and ancient Hermes.
The words were intertwined with a star-like brilliance and strange symbols, as if opening a secret door to the depths of the spirit realm.
The "secret door" opened, and a gust of wind blew out, and the upper body turned into a man wrapped in a white cloth.
"The Horn of Sleep. Bernadette said in a soft but majestic voice.
The man with the upper body and the lower body responded respectfully, and took out a human skull from a white cloth.
The eye sockets of this skull are deep and dark, and the bottom is difficult to see, and the rest of the place has one hole after another of different shapes, and the vicinity is covered with cracks, white as jade.
Bernadette took the "trumpet of sleep", glanced at Gelman Sparrow and said:
"You go back at least 50 meters. ”
Crane didn't ask why, but left the "Wraith" Señol in place and walked away quickly along the path paved by the pea vine.
After more than 50 meters, he suddenly heard a distant quiet, sad and dark melody.
Subconsciously, Klein looked up and saw where the pea vines were hidden, Bernadette was sitting with her back slightly bent, her chestnut hair moved lightly, her head was lowered, and she brought the "human skull" to her mouth, so that the holes blew out air currents, interwoven into the music of the night.
The movement, with its calming power and a touch of melancholy, spread little by little, but it did not alarm the soldiers guarding the bridge outside the pea vine forest.
Klein stood there, listening intently, and a longing for home suddenly welled up in his heart.
It was a long-adrift traveler, the most longed-for and untouchable destination.
