Part 3 The Traveler Chapter 72 – Playing God

　　Above the gray mist, inside the palace like the residence of giants.

　　Kraven sat in the seat of a fool, and with a lift of his right hand, the Scepter of Poseidon, which was hidden in a pile of clutter, flew out and landed in the palm of his hand.

　　Initially, he had actually planned to place this seal that was comparable to level 1 next to the seat as a sign of respect for demigod level items, but after careful consideration, he thought that the “Neptune’s Scepter” was still a bit incapable of matching the mysterious power of the “True Creator”, which could be compared to the “True Creator”. The “Fool” who could fight against the evil gods such as “The Real Creator” and “The Original Witch”, and the “Blasphemous Medal” was barely qualified. The level of the “Blasphemous Sign” is barely qualified, so the “Scepter of Poseidon” is still thrown into the pile of clutter.

　　Looking at the dots of green and blue that surrounded the short staff of white bone, Klein thought for a moment and gave the idea to make a preliminary division of them.

　　As he expected, those blue and green points of light according to his will to complete their own division, simple praise “God of the sea”, nothing to pray for a little bit of the bottom of the sinking, disappeared at a faster pace, involving confession involving prayer, floating upwards, closer to the palm of Klein’s hand.

　　Following his spiritual intuition, he “clicked” on one of the latter.

　　All of a sudden, he saw the high waves and heard the wind howling violently.

　　An offshore fishing boat was tossed up and down in the undulating deep blue, ready to capsize at any moment.

　　On board, men, evidently natives of the region, were clinging to the masts or pulling at the ropes in a last effort, many of them chanting the name of Poseidon in terror and panic.

　　Sensing that this was a prayer in progress, Klein raised the cream-colored scepter.

　　At the top of the scepter, a greenish-blue “jewel” blossomed one after another, linking together and illuminating the scene.

　　The fishermen were gradually despairing when they suddenly felt that the boat, which had been thrown away at once, had stabilized.

　　They looked around in dismay, only to see that the mountainous layers of huge waves had somehow become calm, and the fierce winds that raged on the surface of the sea were getting slower and slower, so gentle that it was like the taste of Zargha beer.

　　The dark clouds stacked up in the sky dissipated, and before a storm had time to show its full stature, it was forced back by a mysterious force.

　　The fishermen quickly snapped out of their stupor and realized what had happened:

　　”The God of the Sea had blessed us all, and the God of the Sea had demonstrated his majesty!

　　Flop, flop, flop!

　　They all prostrated themselves on the deck, spread out their hands, put them to their mouths, and not so neatly chanted the honorable name of “Neptune”:

　　”Thank You, praise You, Favorite of the Sea and the Spirit World, Protector of the Rothschild Islands, Ruler of the Underwater Creatures, Controller of Tsunamis and Storms, Great Kavituva!”

　　Above the gray mist, Klein inexplicably actually got a little depressed:

　　Obviously I saved you guys, why should I thank Kavituva?

　　That sea serpent will only intentionally create hurricanes and waves to terrorize you, so that you have to believe in it religiously ……

　　Klein was silent for two seconds, suddenly dumbfounded:

　　”Kavituva is dead, and now Kavituva is my other identity.

　　”Why should I be in a bad mood over someone thanking me for my other identity?

　　”That’s what the ‘Faceless Man’ has to be aware of in doing the real play? Really get into the identity, consider his joys and sorrows as your own, but not forget who you were originally …… It’s really hard to do ah, a little inattention will be insanity, and the moment the extraordinary person’s spirit is out of control, the loss of control is not far away …… ”

　　After thinking carefully for a while, Klein exhaled and smiled softly to himself:

　　”Playing as ‘Neptune’ is still quite rewarding.

　　”Although with the gray mist shielding and isolation, this kind of playing may not receive feedback that directly promotes the digestion of my ‘Faceless Man’ magic potion, but it can also provide experience and lessons that will help me figure out a safer and more effective method of playing.”

　　Gathering his thoughts, Klein spread his spirituality to another point of light.

　　This time, the prayer came from a woman with tattered clothing and a festering, pus-filled body leaning against a corner, murmuring the name “Poseidon” as a final confession.

　　Through her description, it was as if Klein had seen her short life with his own eyes.

　　This is an aboriginal woman, her parents both believe in “Sea God”, so she also believes in “Sea God”, in the first ten years, her father worked as a miner, repaired roads, paved railroad tracks, while her mother worked as a variety of temporary jobs, sewing, washing, help at the docks, intermittent street girls, a family of several people, a family of several people. The mother worked as a temporary worker, sewing, washing, helping at the docks, and intermittently as a streetwalker, which was quite difficult for the family, but they managed to survive.

　　The tide turned two years ago, when her father was killed in a road accident, and the Rothschild Railway Company offered her a rather meager compensation, and the family gradually went to the brink of extinction.

　　The girl was then sold by her mother to the “Red Theater”, where she became a legal prostitute.

　　Although Rossel the Great has long invented condoms, but many pirates and adventurers greedy for a moment of pleasure, not willing to use, and the “Red Theater” itself is not mandatory, the girl resisted to no avail, only to give in, and finally do not know who infected the disease.

　　”The manager of the Red Theater tried to do a simple treatment, and when she didn’t get much better, she was thrown out, because the cost of follow-up treatment was obviously much more expensive compared to the cost of buying another girl.

　　Not only was the sick girl unable to find a new job, she couldn’t even afford to rent an apartment, and her mother and siblings had long since gone to who knows where, perhaps dead or taken into captivity and slavery.

　　The girl became a vagabond, living under a bridge hole, supported for a while by food from charity organizations and some free medicine.

　　But it was short-lived, and she grew sicker and weaker, and soon came to the end of her life.

　　At that moment, she thought back to the time when she was the best fed and the warmest dressed, and recalled some of the occasional words spoken by those pirates and adventurers, and whispered a prayer to the “god of the sea”:

　　”I want to live like a human ……”

　　Klein raised his cane slightly again, only to realize that the seal had no power to cure disease.

　　He wondered if he should buy a batch of potions from Emlyn White in the name of the World, but realized that the prayer image was from the middle of the day, and that the girl had already passed away, in a muddy, dirty hole in the bridge, in pain and intense hunger.

　　Crane was silent for a while, letting the perspective of the prayer image pull up to show the location of that bridge hole.

　　After noting the characteristics of the nearby streets and surrounding area, Klein leaned back in his chair and sighed, laughing without a smile:

　　”What a humble wish.

　　”It’s nothing to play up …… I’ll try to make your burial as human as possible ……”

　　He withdrew his attention and browsed up the other points of light, searching for an object to play for real, but for a moment, it was difficult to find anything.

　　In the process, Klein noticed that Karat, Edmonton and the other rebels held a ceremony, putting a number of items into the altar, praying to the “god of the sea” to give strength.

　　The extraordinary “things” that they took out in exchange came to be ah …… At the level of demigods, it is really different …… And, they are used to not immediately get a response, it seems to want to let those items in the altar. It seems to want to let those items in the altar overnight …… It seems that Kavituva that sea serpent is not an instant response ah, depending on its mood, to see whether it sleeps or not, otherwise it can only do some instinctive response, can not be made in batches of extraordinary “things” …… Klein picked up the “Scepter of Neptune” and once again made the blue and green “gems” glow.

　　Pounds of spirituality wonderfully combined together, with a transcendent feeling, surged into the prayer screen, surged into that altar, randomly fused with different items.

　　Some were electric shock charms, some could make a person swim like a fish in the sea, and some could blow a gale …… Within three months, the spirituality would gradually decay to nothing …… Klein half closed his eyes and experienced the changes in those items.

　　At this time, he was already quite tired, although only two responses, and mainly rely on the power of the “Scepter of Neptune”, but once is to force the dispersal of the storm, smoothing out the waves, and once at the same time for the dozens of items to provide “enchantment”, both belong to the demi-god level application, the spiritual consumption itself also belongs to the demi-god level. Both were demi-god level applications, and the consumption of spirituality was also very high.

　　”Even if I can use this ‘Neptune’s Scepter’ normally, I won’t be able to support it for too long. …… It’s the negative effects that don’t burden me, so I might be able to try to utilize them at times… …

　　”Well, the matter of the Resistance reminds me, I also have to pray to myself, make a batch of charms out, mainly the kind to deal with underwater activities, in this way, even if I encountered a sea battle, I would not be tied up, by the way, I still don’t know what to do with the Lightning Charms, I have to collect occult information on the corresponding aspects, with it, I will be able to deal with the enemy who holds the right to control air power ……”

　　Klein muttered a few words, threw the “Neptune’s Scepter” back into the pile of clutter, and quickly returned to the real world.

　　……

　　East Chester County, in the vast and beautiful countryside, the side door of an extremely large manor house.

　　Audrey Hall, dressed in a waist-slimming black rider’s uniform lined with a simply decorated lady’s shirt, sat quite familiarly on the back of a brownish-red mare without the slightest bit of swaying.

　　Her black leather boots stomped in the stirrups, her legs in white pants pinned slightly inward, and she smiled sideways at Suzie, the big blonde dog carrying a small leather bag next to her:

　　”I’ll wait for you at the edge of the woods!”

　　With that said, whip in hand, she bent low over her back and sent the brown and red mare galloping from slow to fast through the wilderness.

　　Audrey preferred the beautiful manor and the countryside to the gorgeous and expensive but gloomy and obscure family castle.

　　A handsome horse followed the run out, the rider has a squire, there are maids, their mission is only one, that is to protect Miss Audrey.

　　Susie also spilled out into a gallop, a feeling she could not have experienced at Birkeland.

　　And she and Audrey were going to have a little adventure today, which was to explore a long collapsed old tower within the woods, where valuable items had been taken long ago, where nothing untoward had ever happened, and where it was perfect for the inexperienced to become skilled in all sorts of techniques.

　　The only problem was that it would be dark in two hours and there might not be enough time.
