Chapter 189: Prayer and Response (Asking for Recommendation Tickets and Monthly Tickets)
City of Tingen, Daffodil Street.
Klein is discussing the latest popular plays with his brother Benson and sister Melissa, and cordially invites them to go to the Grand Theater next Sunday night.
"I think enough has been said in the newspapers that 'The Return of the Count' is definitely a play worth watching live, it's been staged dozens of times in Beckland, and I don't think we should miss this opportunity. The lack of entertainment made Klein reluctant to give up, after all, he was also a fashionable person who watched dramas in his previous life.
Of course, if it weren't for the sake of maintaining my image, I would rather go to a tavern and play billiards...... Well, it's not bad to rent a venue to play tennis, this can be considered, it belongs to the middle class of leisure projects, with my current physical fitness, as long as I don't encounter other extraordinary people to mess in, I can easily deal with most opponents...... Forget it, for the time being, I can only think about it, re-investigate the people and things related to Lanerus in the morning, practice fighting in the afternoon, and check some of the red chimney houses before returning home in the evening......
I'm such a busy man...... Crane thought bitterly.
Seeing that Benson had already moved, Melissa was still a little hesitant, and he added with a smile:
"It is said that the most popular supporting character in "The Count's Return" is a genius mechanic. ”
"Well, anyway, I'm going to have to go to the Colisso once to see a play. Melissa pursed her lips and nodded very reluctantly, but her eyes were much brighter than before.
Crane was about to respond when a buzzing whisper sounded in his ears, and his head dizzy for a few seconds.
Someone is praying to me...... He put his right hand behind his back and chuckled:
"Then I'll wait patiently for the opening of the booking day. ”
"Alright, I'll go back to my bedroom and get a report. ”
"We also have to plunge into the ocean of knowledge, and hopefully we don't drown in it. Benson laughed to himself and turned back to the dining room with Melissa to sit down.
Crane went up to the second floor, locked the bedroom door, sealed the room with a spiritual wall, and then walked four steps backwards, chanting a mantra, and came to the gray mist.
In the majestic palace like the abode of giants, his figure appeared at the top of the long bronze table, and a crimson star was reflected in his eyes, which was constantly shrinking and expanding.
Crane raised his right hand, spreading spirituality, and touched the star that symbolized "justice".
Suddenly, he saw a distorted and blurred picture, and saw Miss "Justice" wearing an off-white court dress, sitting on a chair in a dark corner, clasping her hands against her buried forehead.
At the same time, the slightly immature and tense sweet female voice is superimposed illusory, echoing layer by layer:
"O fool who does not belong to this age;"
"You are the mysterious lord above the gray mist;"
"You are the king of yellow and black who rules good fortune. ”
"I pray for your attention;"
"Hear, please;"
......
"I was at Duke Negan's ball and I met someone who seemed to be Zielingers. ”
"He disguised himself as Baron Gramiel for an unknown purpose. ”
"I noticed in some detail that Baron Gramiel today is different from what it used to be, and it reminded me of the extraordinary ability of Ziringers's miraculous object to change people's appearance. ”
......
Klein listened carefully, discerned carefully, and finally figured out what Miss "Justice" described:
Ziringus actually used the special ability of "Wriggling Hunger" to blend into Duke Negan's ball!
But what he didn't expect was that a certain aristocratic lady was an "audience", an "audience" who remembered the characteristics of Baron Gramiel in the past, so she was unknowingly exposed!
What does this guy want to do? And what should I do? I have been experimenting with sacrificial rituals that do not use spiritual materials for the past two days, and I found that I can create something similar to the "Door of Summoning", but I can't open it, and I am looking for a time to go to the underground market to buy some spiritual materials for a second experiment...... Miss "Justice" will definitely not carry spiritual materials with her when she goes to the ball...... Crane pondered for more than a dozen seconds and began to respond to the plea for "justice."
............
In the small prayer room of Duke Negan's residence.
Audrey prayed several times, finally paused, straightened her clothes, and walked briskly to the door.
She knew she couldn't disappear for too long, or she would worry her father and mother, misjudging the situation and responding incorrectly.
Standing behind the door, Audrey took a deep breath and stretched out her right hand, wearing white tulle gloves, with trepidation and uneasiness, to release the lock.
Leaving the small prayer room, she walked down the hallway towards the "dining room", and saw the guests with wine glasses and plates getting closer and closer.
In the center of the thick gray mist was an ancient high-backed chair, on which sat a mysterious existence that made people unable to see their appearance and figure, and looked down on everything.
Mr. Fool! Audrey almost blurted out in surprise.
Immediately after, she heard a familiar deep voice:
"I see. ”
The sound was still echoing, the gray fog had disappeared, and Audrey was still in front of her long tables with food and drinks, and it was still a lively scene.
The apprehension and uneasiness in her heart disappeared, she subconsciously straightened her back, entered the "restaurant" with calm and light steps, and walked to the lounge here.
............
Above the gray mist, inside the majestic palace.
After responding to Miss "Justice", Klein began to think about how to convey the matter to the "Hanged Man".
"It's definitely not okay for me to repeat the narrative myself, it's out of character......... How can there be a mysterious being who personally serves as the microphone!" He pondered for dozens of seconds, and suddenly had an idea, and embodied the picture and voice of Miss "Justice" praying just now, and turned it into a mosaic-like movie scene.
Stretching out his hand, Crane threw the replayed curtain of light into the crimson star that symbolized the "Hanged Man".
............
Beckland, Jowood District, Cathedral of the Holy Winds.
In a simple and modest room, the "hanged man" Alger Wilson is studying the investigative reports of the last few days, trying to find clues about "Lieutenant General Hurricane" Zillingers.
Diagonally above his right hand is a stack of papers filled with twisted "symbols".
Just as Alger leaned back and reached out to rub his eyes, he found that his eyes had become illusory, showing a thick gray mist.
In the depths of this fog with no end in sight, there is a high-backed chair that will always exist there, and on the high-backed chair sits a faint figure.
Mr. "Fool" ...... As soon as the thought came to Alger's mind, he saw a vague figure in a court dress in the hazy gray mist.
Maintaining a posture of prayer, she kept saying:
"I was at Duke Negan's ball and I met someone who seemed to be Zielingers. ”
"He disguised himself as Baron Gramiel for an unknown purpose. ”
"I noticed in some detail that Baron Gramiel today is different from what it used to be, and it reminded me of the extraordinary ability of Ziringers's miraculous object to change people's appearance. ”
......
Alger was startled at first, then showed a surprised expression, pressed his hand to his chest, lowered his head and said:
"Praise you, Mr. Fool!"
Before he could finish speaking, everything he heard and saw vanished, as if it had never appeared.
Glancing at the desk with Russell's diary and investigative report, Alger's pupils shrank, and he once again felt the power of the fool:
This is the Cathedral of the Holy Wind, the former headquarters of the Church of the Storm, although this was more than a thousand years ago, but it does not prevent the faithful from still considering it as one of the holy places, however, Mr. "Fool" still "descends" silently and responds......
After more than ten seconds of silence, Alger picked up his belongings and turned to go out the door.
He's going to find one of the cardinals of the Storm Church, Archbishop of the Diocese of Beckland, Ace Snake, the "Singer of God"!
For Alger Wilson, killing "Lieutenant General Hurricane" Ziringers with his own hands is the best development, but if it can't be done, it is acceptable to confirm the death of the other party!
............
After "handing" Miss Justice's description to the hanged man, Crane left the mysterious space above the gray fog and returned to his bedroom.
He did not rush to lift the spiritual wall, but sat down at his desk, spread out the paper, picked up the pen, and began to write:
“...... According to the urgent information I received, Ziringus used the ability of the 'shepherd' to transform into the appearance of Baron Grammel and blend into Duke Negan's ball, and his purpose is not clear for the time being. ”
Klein was not worried that Mr. Azik would doubt himself, and wondered why people in Tingen knew what had just happened in Beckland, because there was such a thing as a telegraph in this world.
"I don't know if this will interest you, but I think it's necessary to let you know. Crane ended quickly, folding the letter.
Then he found the old brass whistle, brought it to his lips, puffed out his cheeks, and blew hard.
The huge, terrifying, illusory Bone Courier reappeared, still towering there, unconcerned that his head was burrowing into the roof.
Crane resisted the urge to use the "Joker" ability, and instead of turning the letter into a throwing knife, he honestly threw it to the Courier.
Blowing the brass whistle again and ending the summoning, Crane reined in his mood and went through the matter again in his mind.
All he can do at the moment is what he just did!
Although Klein can also use the "Summoning Ritual" to carry the "Yang Flame Charm" and go to Beckland in person, this one is too dangerous, Zilingers is the "Wind Favorite" of Sequence 6, and he still has the magical item of "Wriggling Hunger" on his body, the second is too troublesome, and he has to get the "Yang Flame Charm" to the gray mist first, and the third is that it is too easy to destroy the image, so he rationally gave up this plan.
"Actually, it's not a big problem, Duke Negan is the biggest nobleman outside the royal family, the bigwig behind the Conservative Party, there must be no shortage of high-ranking officials and dignitaries among the people attending the ball today, if you want to say that there is no strong extraordinary person to protect, I don't believe it first, Ziringus is the second, well, not considering this factor, there is no need for him to pretend to be mixed in...... Now that Miss 'Justice' has found out in advance and prepared the nobles, things won't get too serious and get out of control......"
"I don't know how fast Mr. Azik's messenger is, if he can use the spirit world to shuttle, he still has hope to catch the 'main meal', if it is as slow as Ms. Daly's messenger, then I can only watch the news and guess the truth afterwards......"
Crane nodded imperceptibly, leaving the matter behind him, he couldn't do more anyway.
