Beckland, East End, 7 Pinster Street.

After a busy day, Leonard finally had a chance to ask his doubts:

"Old man, what is 'Source Fort'?"

The slightly old voice in his mind was silent for a few seconds, and he said "hey":

"The place where you meet every Monday is probably 'Fort of the Source'. ”

"......" Leonard didn't expect to hear such an answer at all, his brain was a little blank for a while, both surprised, shocked, and mixed with complex emotions such as not having no origin, it turned out to be like this.

After a while, he asked in a slightly hurried whisper:

"And what exactly is the 'Source Fort'?"

Parles Zoroasd laughed as if he sighed and laughed at himself:

"Actually, I don't know too much, but I've heard some rumors.

"That's not the same creation myth you know, the original creator is rumored to have left behind nine different things, some of them are kingdoms, some are cities, some are rivers, some are oceans, some are keys, and the 'Source Castle' is one of them.

"It may not actually be a castle, but something else, and you probably know better than I do what it looks like.

"I am sure it exists because when I ascended to the angel, I sensed it, but I couldn't get a glimpse of it and connect with it.

"My great-grandfather made a guess that the nine things might be related to the 'essentia' recorded on the second 'profane tablet,' but unfortunately, for various reasons, he could not see enough to decipher the 'essentia'. ”

Leonard calmed down a lot, leaned back on the sofa, and asked thoughtfully:

"Old man, do you suspect that Mr. 'Fool' is the embodiment of 'essentia'?"

Based on what he had seen and heard at the Tarot meeting and what the old man Parles occasionally said, he already had some understanding of some of the things about the divine rank.

Parles Zoroaster was silent for a long time before responding:

"Maybe ......"

............

On night when curfews were strictly enforced, there were few pedestrians on the streets of Beckland, and the occasional horse-drawn carriage passed by with people of sufficient status.

When Klein arrived at the agreed house, he did not rush in, but half-closed his eyes, raised his right hand, and grabbed it forward, pulling out another Sherlock Moriarty wearing a black double-breasted tweed coat, a half-height silk top hat, and a gold-encrusted cane.

This is him when he went out just now, and he is an image in the hole of history.

Because Klein himself was on the other side, the image was stiff and stiff, like a prop on stage.

Based on several previous experiments, Klein knew that this was the "oneness of time and consciousness" in the occult, that is, at the same point in time, each person's essence is unique, and if the ontological can think, the projection will not.

And after the historical pore images of those dead were summoned, the same is true, Klein suspects that it is the reason why his current level is not enough, in short, the projection of others can only do more mechanical questions and answers and more instinctive battles, things that are not clear to "ancient scholars", even if they have experienced it themselves, they cannot give corresponding answers.

This confirms one of Klein's guesses, that is, the fragments that "ancient scholars" can see in the fog of history are all things that they have learned about and studied in reality, and in short, that fog needs to be lit up by "ancient scholars" themselves.

Of course, Klein also suspects that if the historical fragments of the same event have already lit up most of them, the rest is likely to emerge naturally.

"At least the corresponding ability will not be lost because I don't know enough, as long as there is an image in the pores of history, the state of that moment will be completely recorded...... That's enough......" Crane glanced at the projection of history, which could only act on instinct, and his body suddenly disappeared, entering the gray mist.

Since the dogs of Fugen who are not yet complete "ancient scholars" can live in the pores of history, there is no reason for the real "ancient scholars", the only problem is that there is a time limit, and in addition, if the time drags on for a long time, the secret puppet of the real world will definitely die, but this is just a different form to accompany the "ancient scholars".

And as Crane's body entered the spot of light in the gray mist, his consciousness suddenly came to life in the historical projection.

Raising his hand and pressing the top hat on his head, Crane, who looked like Sherlock Moriarty, came to the outside of the house, and as agreed, directly took out the "master key", pressed it against the door, and turned it slightly.

His figure appeared directly in the room, and through the crimson moonlight, he quickly looked around.

The sofas, cabinets, high-backed chairs, coffee tables and other furniture here are obviously quite old, and they seem to be from the last century, which is quite old.

In the gloomy environment, Sharon, dressed in a gothic court dress and a small soft hat of the same color, suddenly appeared on a high-backed chair.

"Good evening. The "puppet" lady nodded slightly and opened her mouth in greetings.

If she doesn't speak, she doesn't speak, it's the most standard and delicate doll.

At the same time, at the position of the sofa, Marich in a white shirt and black vest was also outlined.

...... This gentleman, it's winter, won't it be cold if you wear this? Ah, yes, you are the "dead", and the "dead" are not afraid of the cold...... Klein complained in his heart, took off his hat, and saluted Sharon with pale blond hair, blue eyes, and a pale face:

"Good evening, Miss Sharon. ”

He then half-turned around and said to Marić:

"Good evening. ”

For this former "living corpse" and now "resentful soul", Klein's deepest impression is that the other party actually played cards with the living corpse driven by himself.

Go back and play cards together...... He sighed silently.

The reason why I suddenly thought of playing cards was because when Klein analyzed the fighting methods of the "ancient scholars", he found that if he encountered Zarathu, the two sides were likely to "play cards on the spot":

You have a "Ronsell the Archon", I have a "Russell the Great", you have a "Bernadette", I have a "Bonois", if you have "Half a Fool", I will take care of "Amon......

I didn't expect that the battle of the "soothsayer" would really one day turn into "playing cards", a realistic, extremely dangerous "playing cards...... Hey, but Zarathu is an angel in Sequence 1, so he won't give me a chance to "play cards" at all, and the success rate is relatively low when I summon the big names in the historical pore images...... Klein retracted his gaze and took the initiative to say to Sharon:

"One of the things I need to do lately, which is more difficult and dangerous, is to collect twenty-two extraordinary blood from different paths. As for the 'Resentful Soul' path, the only people I can think of to save are you and Marić, you should be better at cursing and have a way to remove the connection between blood and yourself. ”

In fact, he could try to summon the "Blood Admiral" Señor on the spot and mix his blood into the ceramic jar, but whether this would work, Klein didn't know, and he couldn't "divination", after all, this involved both a high level beyond Sequence 1 and a lack of sufficient information, the only thing he was sure of was that drawing that symbol would not pose any danger to himself and the provider.

Due to the fact that the "Ancient Scholar" can do so much, Klein has even tried to summon the former "witch" Triss before, easily subduing her, and smearing her blood on Grossell's Travels.

However, this did little to help.

After thinking about it, Klein believes that there is a logical contradiction in the timeline, so he can't succeed - the blood is "additional" by the past Triss, and "Grossell's Travels" must pull people from the past, which is equivalent to changing history.

And history cannot be changed, so the experiment failed.

Sharon quietly listened to Sherlock Moriarty's request, and said without any change in expression:

"Good.

"How much?"

Miss Sharon reacted the same as I thought...... Klein took out a thin glass pipe:

"That's enough. ”

Sharon, who was wearing a Gothic court dress, raised her right hand slightly, and the thin glass tube seemed to have a life of its own, and it took the initiative to break away from Klein's palm and fly over.

Immediately after, the puppet-like lady's right hand fell to her left wrist, and her nails suddenly grew long and became extremely sharp.

With just a slight stroke, there was an additional wound on her wrist, and bright red blood overflowed from it, not dripping down, but floating in reverse and throwing it into a thin glass tube.

By the time the container was full, Sharon's wound healed instantly, and there was no trace of it to be seen, and the plug jerked to the nozzle, spun around a few times, and closed on its own.

In this process, Sharon, whose face was not as pale as before, did not change at all, as if all the feelings were suppressed in the bottom of her heart.

Glancing at the tube of blood in her hand, Sharon reached out with her left palm, touched it, and slowly slid it from top to bottom.

This is to eliminate the connection between the blood and the body.

After doing all this, the tube of blood leaped and flew back into Klein's hands.

"How else do you need help?" said Sharon, sitting upright in a high-backed chair.

"Not for the time being, thank you. Crane shook his head and snapped his fingers, causing a red flame to ignite in his palm.

The flames sprang up, enveloping the glass tube.

By the time the crimson had dissipated, the tube of blood was gone.

This is a new variation of "Fire Jump", which allows you to transfer items from your body to the puppet or the main body.

In addition to this, Klein's previous extraordinary abilities have also been improved and changed accordingly.

Skillful in his ability, he looked at Sharon on the other side again, and asked casually:

"How's your puppet potion digested?"

When he first saw Miss Sharon, he felt that the other party was like a puppet, and thought that whether it was caused by nature or the principle of moderation, it was a kind of early play, and it must be of great help to the digestion of the "puppet" potion.

"Not bad. Sharon replied blandly, "In another year or two, it should be able to digest it." ”

It's been a year or two...... Sure enough, no matter how fast it is, it can be counted annually, only me, less than half a year...... It's not something to be proud of, it's laid out plainly...... Of course, if you count the time I was hung from the gate of light, I would have ...... "miracle master" for thousands of years...... If you can get rid of this fate, maybe you can create a "miracle...... Klein sighed a few words in his heart, and said softly:

"What's your plan for the near future?"

Sharon says:

"I hope to restore the integrity of the teacher's body. ”

Marić, who was on the couch, then added:

"But didn't you say that the leader of the Esoteric Order, Zarathu, is in Beckland, and has close ties with the Rose School?"

"Yes. Klein smiled and said, "Be patient, there's always a chance." ”

This is actually a relief for him, even if he becomes an "ancient scholar" and can find a lot of helpers, he has no idea of dealing with Zarathu at the moment - the intact sequence 1 is absolutely terrifying beyond imagination!

Moreover, the more he went down the path of "soothsayer", the more Klein could appreciate the terrible and difficult to kill of Zarathu.

After preventing George III from becoming a god, Klein planned to leave Beckland directly and give himself more time to grow.
