For the secret puppet town, Klein has been thinking about how to create it for a long time, and has initially come up with three plans:

If the interference of external factors is excluded, his best choice is to directly let the secret puppet town rise overnight somewhere in a country on the northern continent, and connect it to the surrounding cities by rail, river, and road.

In this way, a large number of outsiders will arrive every day and interact very strongly with the surrounding area: on the one hand, towns without affiliated villages will definitely buy grain, salt, cloth, ore, sugar and other necessities from other places, and on the other hand, it will also have its own output that can be sold to surrounding cities, market towns, and villages. In this case, merchants, laborers, travelers, and other groups will come and go very frequently, and they will also interact with the residents of the secret town quite a lot.

Under the influence of various strong interactions, it won't be long before the secret puppet town can be born in the corresponding area of the spirit world, and when the fate trajectory of the residents becomes refined and real, Crane can take the potion promotion sequence 1 "Mysterious Waiter".

It may take less than three months before and after that.

But the problem is that this plan can't be kept secret.

In the current era, somewhere suddenly there is a town that can't be hidden from people at all, and soon government employees, police, and reporters will come to investigate, and all kinds of strong interactions after that will also let more and more people know the city and understand the city, which is a problem that cannot be solved through illusion ability, unless the secret puppet town does not interact with the surrounding cities, market towns, and villages at all, or less interaction, but that is contrary to the needs of rituals.

When the news of the secret puppet town spreads, Crane will undoubtedly be targeted by enemies such as Zarathu and Amon himself, and at that time, it will definitely be easier to destroy than to protect, and he can only take his secret puppet town to transfer the place, which will cause the early interaction to lose its effect, just like the experience of the dark demon wolf at the beginning.

Therefore, Klein only came up with such a plan, and basically would not choose, unless some "visionary" was willing to help, so that all the creatures in the North and South Continents would take it for granted that there was indeed a town there, and it did not appear out of nowhere.

Considering the influence of various external factors and his extraordinary abilities, Klein's safest choice is to build the secret puppet town on an uninhabited island that deviates from the safe shipping lanes and is hidden enough, and use the "Source Fort" as a counter-divination and anti-prophecy arrangement.

At the same time, Crane will rely on that "curtain" to "graft" a node of some roads, rivers, and railways to the outside of the secret town, making it one of the stops on some people's journeys.

This cannot be completely kept secret, but when the "grotesque phenomenon" spreads and may attract the attention of Zarathu and Amon, Crane can easily untie the original "grafting" and change the "entrance" irregularly.

Under this strategy, it is only the "entrance" that is transferred, not the city itself, and the effects of various interactions on the spirit world can be retained and not interrupted, and the ritual can be carried out steadily.

Of course, there is a big problem with this approach, that is, the field of interaction is limited, it cannot have a deep impact on all aspects of daily life, and the frequency and intensity of interaction are not too high.

If he chooses this option, it means that Klein will have to spend more than half a year or even more on the ceremony.

- If he insists that the fate of each secret puppet has a beginning and an end for the sake of safety, the ritual will take at least fifty years, but there is also a trick to this trick, that is, after all the others have met the requirements of the ritual, he will directly give the town a meteorite, an earthquake, and a volcanic eruption, so that the fate of all the secret puppets will reach the end at the same time. Such a situation also exists in reality, and it is quite reasonable.

Between the radical and conservative options, Klein has a compromise solution.

That is to reproduce a certain city, let the secret puppet correspond to the inhabitants of that city one by one, and then, if the evil is a little bit, directly erase that city and replace it with its own secret puppet town, and if there is a benevolent heart, hide that city to ensure the supply of materials - the reason why the target city is not transformed is that it itself has a spiritual counterpart area, which is not newly born and does not meet the requirements of the ritual.

Relying on the "curtain" formed by the extraordinary characteristics of the "secret attendant", Crane can have a better choice: "graft" a certain stage of that city to his secret puppet town.

In this way, the town of the puppet becomes the dark side of the city, and the outsiders who enter during the corresponding time period will encounter the puppets instead of the real person, and when that time passes, they will leave the puppet town again, return to reality, and deal with the real person.

In the process, Klein will also send secret puppets to play the role of outsiders, and maintain interaction with the corresponding real people, so that the real outsiders can be seamlessly connected after returning to reality.

In other words, there are two kinds of life in the same city at the same time, but no one can notice it, and only occasionally someone will feel that a certain detail is not too right, but they cannot explain it and ignore the past.

This is quite in line with the characteristics of "secretive", and there is a certain degree of secrecy.

Of course, this scheme also has its own problems, that is, the fate of the secret puppet is highly simulated to the fate of a real person, and there is no independence of its own, which will lead to the effect of a certain aspect of the ritual not as expected.

Tuk-tuk, Klein's fingers tapped over the edge of the mottled table, hesitating between the second and third.

After a few minutes, he followed the will of his heart and chose the second option, preferring to spend more time than affect the fate of the innocent.

"At the beginning, Zarathu and Antigonus most likely chose the third option......" Crane sighed, ready to return to reality.

At this time, he looked at the pile of debris again, and considered whether to send down the oracle and ask Silver City to revise some of the descriptions in the holy scriptures.

For a deity, the canon is not really a very important thing, and the greatest use is to facilitate the preaching and increase the number of anchors.

On this point, Klein has long concluded from the contents of the holy scriptures of the Orthodox Church such as "The Apocalypse of the Night" and "The Book of Storms":

Much of it is about exalting righteousness, boasting, and showing kindness and mercy.

If in ancient times, believers' perception of the image of the gods did have a certain negative impact on the gods, then at present, the use of symbols instead of gods, there is no such hidden danger, at least the "goddess of the night", "lord of the storm" and other gods have generously claimed that they are incarnated by a certain part of the original creator, and they are not at all worried that this will exacerbate the revival of the original will in their own bodies.

That said, if there is a real problem in this regard, Klein believes that the "goddess of the night" must have changed the description accordingly, and changed from one eye of the original creator to the child he conceived and born, which is also a high person.

At the same time, the believer's admission of certain things will not cause a burden in the occult sense to the gods themselves, otherwise Amon would have secretly helped Klein, or the previous "Source Castle", prepare a group of believers, induce them to form the cognition that the "Angel of Time" is the embodiment of the "Lord of Mysteries", and with the help of qualified instinctive responses, establish enough connections with the "Source Castle" to open a "back door".

In addition to missionary needs, there are only two most important parts of the Holy Scriptures:

One is the description of the authority and honor of the gods themselves, which, if wrong, will lead the believer's prayers to the wrong unknown object, which is not only dangerous to the believer, but also causes the god to lose its anchor, and the second is the description of other churches, which can easily lead to conflict.

As for the angels and saints, the gods don't really care too much, they care about the angels and the saints themselves, because they need to obtain a certain anchor through this.

Therefore, the descriptions of angels and saints in the major holy texts are detailed enough, with authority and honorific names to facilitate the selection and substitution of different believers, and in addition, this is not enough to form a solid anchor, because it is covered under the belief of the gods.

In order to solve this problem, the Orthodox Church will assign different patron angels and patron saints to different churches, and accurately divide the scope.

It is precisely because of this understanding that Klein has always paid little attention to the holy scriptures, and after reading the previous part describing his authority and honorable name, he was so embarrassed that he didn't want to read it, but used the method of "divination" to confirm whether there would be a conflict with the Orthodox Church.

After thinking about it for a while, he gave up the idea of directly sending an oracle to let Silver City revise the holy scriptures, and decided to use a softer way:

In the exchange of the Tarot Society, the "World" Gelman Sparrow induces the "Sun" to adjust its cognition, and the part involving the "Angel of Time" is leaned in the direction of Parles Zoroaster, so that the corresponding content can be revised without arousing the suspicion of the Silver City.

Byam, Verdu Abraham gained a lot of occult knowledge in several extraordinary circles.

He lit the gas lamp and took advantage of the night to read carefully.

At the end, he suddenly read a message that he had never known before:

"Bansey Harbor is a place full of occult powers, and the connection to the spirit world and the astral plane is beyond imagination...... Even if the Church of the Storm directly destroyed the port, it could not completely eliminate its anomaly......

"Many occult researchers are buying Bansey-related items at high prices......"

Bansey ...... Verdu muttered to himself silently, suddenly taking a keen interest in the port.

He began to consider whether to buy some items from Bansey as well, and delve into them, after all, the spirit world is related to "teleportation", and the astral realm and the starry sky are related to "roaming", and they may all involve the escape of Mr. "Gate" Bethel Abraham.

Perhaps, if you have the chance, you can go to Bansey and have a look...... Verduwei nodded invisibly.
