Part 1 The Joker Chapter 140 – Able to Play Death
”The source of this drop of golden liquid.”
After silently reciting the divination statement seven times, Klein took the parchment, held the virtual golden liquid, and leaned back against the back of the chair.
He didn’t know if relying on this purely by virtue of sensory separation of the materialized items could be divination, only bold assumptions, carefully seeking proof.
Not more than a few seconds later, Klein’s eyes turned deeper, from brown to black, and he entered a meditative state.
His eyelids dropped, and he “saw” the illusory and hazy dream world.
A golden, dazzling sun suddenly leapt out of the gray and fragmented world!
A low humming voice came through the countless voids, and the pure and clear light instantly ignited everything, with golden and burning flames sweeping wildly outward.
Boom!
Klein instantly broke away from the dream world, his body trembling as he tumbled over to the side, his body had already turned into a torch and was blazing.
At this moment, his thoughts were completely frenzied, not a single normal thought surfaced.
Rumble!
The mysterious space above the gray mist shook violently, the lofty and magnificent palace collapsed inch by inch, and the ancient and mottled bronze long table was smashed out of its crater and smashed into several sections.
This terrifying change only lasted for three seconds, and silence returned above the gray mist, as if nothing had happened.
The golden flames on Klein’s body also faded out, and he rolled around with a charred surface, screaming in agony until the ability to think tentatively returned.
He braced himself on the armrests of his high-backed chair and struggled to stand, horrified and bewildered by what had just happened to him.
Until then, he hadn’t thought at all that just one divination would have such consequences!
He took a few breaths and looked around, realizing that both the majestic palace and the ancient table had been damaged, which was unprecedented for the “Gray Mist Above”, which had never had any abnormalities.
”What is going on here? Is my divination pointing to some incredible existence?” Klein recovered a little, letting the charred blackness on his body fall off as he speculated on the matter, “If it wasn’t for the mysterious space above the gray mist, I’m afraid I would have been left with no ashes left. …… Could that drop of golden liquid be the blood of a god? I just saw the ‘Eternal Blazing Sun’, or the powerful angels under k’s command? No, that’s a sun, I feel more like the former …… I’ll go, did I look directly at a deity?”
The more Klein thought about it, the more he was scared, and felt that he was close to completely handing himself over:
”It’s really ignorance, don’t make a mistake or you won’t die …… In the future, you can’t bring everything to divination, who knows what you’ll see!”
”If I do it again, I really don’t know if this mysterious space can still help me block the most fatal damage …… By then, I’ll be dead through and through ……”
”Well, if I continue to try with the golden liquid, it definitely won’t work, and that suspected ‘Eternal Blazing Sun’ existence just now was also affected by the mysterious, weird and sudden effects of Divination Above the Gray Mist, and didn’t have time to react more… …If k is prepared, I’m afraid that this mysterious space really can’t hold back ……”
Thinking of this, Klein’s figure returned to normal, no longer scorched black, but compared to before, it was a few points dimmer and more illusory.
He raised his hand and rubbed his temples, giving the idea of restoring the palace and the long table.
The giant dwelling-like palace and the long table cast in bronze were instantly restored, and everything went back to the way it was before.
Klein sat down, leaned back in his chair, and smiled to himself:
”This isn’t entirely bad, at least I figured out roughly where the limits of this mysterious space are, and have a definite goal …… It would have to be close to a deity’s angel to fully pry the power above the gray mist, right?”
”Hey, I’m going to have to add one more item to my ‘Diviner’s Code’: ‘Do not arbitrarily divine things that may involve creatures of the Higher Glyphs.’ Well, don’t open your psychic vision indiscriminately either, if you look straight into something you shouldn’t, you might just Game Over on the spot, and in the outside world there’s no such thing as this mysterious space to protect me from the vast majority of bad influences ……”
After a few more seconds of slowing down, Klein’s expression suddenly turned odd as some knowledge echoed in his mind.
Yes, knowledge!
During the short moment of contact with the suspected “Eternal Sun”, Klein had been in a state of divination, so he instinctively divined some things and knowledge from the other party.
He hurriedly used the technique of “dream divination” to recall and organize the gains that were not within the initial purpose, and picked up the black round-bellied fountain pen that had manifested, writing one by one:
”1. Do not look directly at God.”
”2. pure white angels.”
”3. Tips for making the ‘Sunflame Charm’ …… This is a relatively advanced Sun Domain Charm, and the effect can last for a year before decaying …… You can Instead of holding a ceremony and praying to the ‘Eternal Blazing Sun’, use the seal ‘3-0782’ instead and steal the power from within this mutated Sun Holy Emblem …… ”
”4. very hostile to the Lord of Storms, the God of Knowledge and Wisdom.”
”5. ‘Songbringer’ magic potion recipe: main ingredient, one crystallized sunflower or one adult flint bird’s tail feather or arsonist’s tail feather …… one piece of siren’s stone or one singing sunflower …… auxiliary materials, one Midsummer Grass, five drops of July Wine Juice, one piece of Elven Dark Leaf.”
”6. ‘Prayer to the Light Man’ magic potion recipe: main ingredient, one piece of Radiant Stone or powder of Blazing White Soul or …… blood of Mirror Hedgehog or heart of Molten Gargoyle… …Secondary ingredients, one gold-rimmed sunflower and three drops of epiphyllum juice ……”
”7. ‘Priest of Light’ magic potion recipe: lack of main ingredient, auxiliary materials are, five grams of rosemary, seven drops of golden hand citrus juice, rock water ……”
”8. Sequence 4 ‘No Dark One’ magic potion recipe, the main material can be used the golden divine blood extracted from within the mutated sun holy emblem, in addition to using the three tail feathers of an adult sun god bird and a piece of sacred radiance stone instead, auxiliary materials are missing… …”
After writing the above eight items, Klein couldn’t help but knock on the edge of the long bronze table.
This harvest was quite a bit more than he had imagined!
For him, he was already satisfied to have survived the reckless divination just now, but who knew that there would be this additional “survival reward”.
From the information within the Night Watchers, he knew that the Church of the Eternal Sun had mastered the Sequence Pathway called “The Sun”, and Sequence 9 was the “Glorifier”, a person who brings courage and strength to himself and his companions through song, and brings piety to the people. Sequence 9 is the “Singers of Praise”, a “profession” that brings courage and strength to themselves and their companions through song, bringing devotion and obedience, and their motto is: “Let us praise the Sun!”
The corresponding Sequence 8 was “Prayer of Light”, capable of performing some spells and rituals within the realm of the sun, and very resistant to dead bodies and ghosts, while Sequence 7 was called “Sun Magistrate”, whose spells and rituals within the realm of the sun had been greatly enhanced.
”That is to say, I have obtained the complete magic potion formulas for Sequence 9 and Sequence 8 of the ‘Sun’ pathway… Well, unlike the previous ones, this time the magic potion formulas also list the names of the substitutes or materials from different periods of time…” …… Not bad for a recipe divined directly from the ‘Eternal Blazing Sun’!” Klein thought with relief.
Regarding the request of the teenager from Silver City, his original intention was to see if the “Inverted Man” could solve it. After all, the Storm Lord’s Church and the Church of the Eternal Sun are the oldest orthodox sects, which have cooperated and fought against each other for more than a few thousand to ten thousand years, and there is a collection of the starting sequence of the “Sun” pathway within the former. In the former’s internal collection, there is the starting sequence of the “Sun” pathway, which is perfectly normal.
The “Hanged Man” may not have paid attention to this aspect of the matter before, did not apply for access to the corresponding information, but with his likely identity as a Sequence 7 “navigator”, really want to go to obtain, or relatively simple, but now do not need him, I’ll solve it myself! I’ll take care of it myself, in an unimaginable and extremely dangerous way …… Miss Justice, Mr. Pendant, Mr. Sun, your fool almost turned into a charred corpse …… Klein was still a little afraid of spitting in his heart.
He looked down again and scrutinized the notes on the parchment, pondering the other recipe:
”Is ‘Priest of Light’ an ancient name for ‘Sun Priestess’, no, the Nightwatchman’s internal information doesn’t even mention it that way, and what I divined wasn’t labeled as such… …Is this Sequence 6, or Sequence 5?”
”Sequence 4, ‘No Dark One’ …… This is the first high sequence recipe I’ve harvested! It’s a pity, the name of the missing auxiliary material, I don’t know if there’s any way to make it up …… That drop of golden liquid is indeed divine blood, I’m afraid that seal ‘3-0782’ is more powerful than anyone could have imagined, and it’s enough to become, in my opinion, a ‘1’ grade sealing object.”
”Well, it should be that the previous Night Watchers only verified whether this item had any living properties, how harmful it was to the humans around it, how difficult it was to control the effects, and whether it could deal with dead bodies and ghosts, and didn’t and lacked the means to figure out the source of that particular kind of thing.”
”I’m afraid that this mutated Sun Holy Emblem can even fight against evil spirits …… How could the original validators easily find evil spirits to experiment with ……”
”As a qualified night watchman, there’s no way for me to become the owner of the seal ‘3-0782’, but, well, I can find a chance to make the ‘Sunflame Charm’ and steal its power… …Ai, it’s impossible this time, I didn’t prepare the appropriate materials at all, how could I, a Night Goddess’s night watchman, carry the materials of the Sun Domain with me?”
Klein rubbed the corner of his forehead regretfully, and when he saw that there was no more movement above the gray mist, he finally let go of his heart, confirming that the “Eternal Sun” had not found its way here.
”Don’t look directly at the gods, don’t look directly at the creatures of the higher realms, always remember these words!”
”The Eternal Sun’s hostility towards the Lord of Storms, the God of Knowledge and Wisdom is simply intense, why?”
”What the hell is a pure white angel?”
……
Between thoughts, Klein felt the emptiness and ache in his head, and the fact that he thought so much time had passed that he had to return to the outside world as soon as possible before anyone noticed anything out of the ordinary.
–Before he thought that it was also in this mysterious space divination two or three times, less than a minute thing, and there is the wall of spirituality interval, once touched, in the gray fog above the self will immediately have a sense, so feel very safe, did not bother to consider too many unexpected factors, as a result, almost die successfully, delayed a lot of time.
Because he was afraid that after going out, he would be confronted by a “purifying light” or find that the “mutated Sun Holy Emblem” had been destroyed, he lifted up his heart, and let his spirituality wrap itself around him as he plummeted downward.
The scarlet moonlight came into his eyes, and the darkness hid deep within, Klein saw the sparse woods again, the weeds in front of him, and the seal “3-0782” intact in his palm.
After a few seconds of trepidation, he finally believed he was safe.
Whew …… Klein exhaled, a kind of deep fatigue after the frantic temptation at the edge of death.
