Part 1 the joker chapter 187 – azk’s warning
The compulsion of the “messenger” shocked Klein for a full five seconds before he stooped down and picked up the paper.
”Even if Mr. Azic is unable to use the vast majority of his extraordinary abilities due to his amnesia, just sending out this messenger will be able to deal with Sequence 7 or even Sequence 6 extraordinarys, right?” He reflected his own dismayed and envious expression in his mind, and didn’t hurry to unfold the letter paper, but slipped it into his clothes pocket and put it together with the “Sleeping Charm” and other items.
The carriage continued on its way, arriving at Daffodil Street. When Klein stepped out of the door, he subconsciously glanced at the driver, Sizel, and saw that he was wearing a smile on his face, and his gaze was calm and relaxed, oblivious to what had happened before.
Switching to his psychic vision for another look, Klein nodded his head imperceptibly and returned to his front door.
He glanced at the balcony and water pipes on the second floor, and after a few seconds of contemplation, he decided that it would be better to keep his manners and not make any attempts to climb, and as for the clothes that were stained with the blood spots and stains, he would bring them to Blackthorn Security tomorrow, where the police department would intervene and hand them over to a specific laundress to take care of them so that he could avoid scaring his maid, Bella, and his sister, Melissa.
Before jumping out of the window from the second floor, Klein had secretly unlocked the front door, and now, taking advantage of the dead of night, he took out the key and opened the door with little or no commotion, and nimbly dodged inside.
After closing and unlocking the door, he breathed a quiet sigh of relief, relaxed his steps and returned to the second floor.
Stopping in front of the locked bedroom, Klein unhurriedly pulled out a tarot card, inserted it into the doorway, and with a flick of the wrist, simply disintegrated the unlocked state he himself had created in a special way.
Immediately afterward, he pushed the door inside, unlocked and undressed, and completely relaxed.
”It’s like being a thief ……” Klein laughed and shook his head, unhurriedly removing his revolver and tucking it under his pillow.
Finishing the finishing touches, he lit the gas lamp, took out the letterhead, sat down at his desk, and unfolded it carefully for reading:
”I apologize for not answering your letter until now; I’ve been busy catching up on the past and meeting with former teachers and classmates and talking late into the night.”
”After reading your letter, I finally realized what the things that happened to me in the last two days were because of, the hotel where I stayed first had the police come and search from room to room, and then during the night, someone quietly turned around, yes, I’m talking about the person with extraordinary abilities.”
”…… Turns out it was that ‘Hurricane Lieutenant General’ Zirngus, who appears in novels and newspapers from time to time, who infiltrated Berkland and caused no small amount of killing, and as I recall, he’s not only wanted by our Kingdom of Ruin, but likewise in the Forsak Empire, the Republic of Intis, and the Kingdom of Feneport on the bounty list ……”
So what was the bounty? Klein subconsciously popped up such a thought.
He didn’t get an answer as Azuk turned to bring up something else:
”The ‘shepherding’ ability you describe feels familiar to me, it seems like I’ve seen it somewhere, encountered it, but can’t remember how, it would have been an experience I had sometime in my previous life, and not being able to complete the recollection makes me feel bad and bitter.”
Huh, Mr. Aztec has a certain interest in “shepherds”, this is a point of entry to let him help, well, there is some coincidence …… No, this is not a coincidence, belong to the inevitable!
According to the inference, Aztec first lived for more than a thousand years, and is likely to be a high sequence of strong, then, in his earliest life, before a life, must have seen a lot of sequence of extraordinary ability, and the more special of which left a deep impression …… In other words, not only the “shepherds In other words, not only “Shepherd” can give him a similar sense of familiarity, but also “Dark One”, “Demon Hunter”, “Guardian” and other professions should also work! ……
As long as the magical item corresponds to a certain sequence of abilities, it is conceivable that Mr. Aztec will find it familiar and become interested ……
Klein was puzzled at first, but then it dawned on him, and his heart was much more certain.
His gaze shifted downward as he continued to read:
”The ritual of sacrifice you inquired about, I recalled some of it very early on, and it seemed to be for the sake of being very impressed, perhaps, that in one of my lives, or the earliest one, I was a priest.”
”I must forewarn you and caution you to be sufficiently cautious in the use of sacrificial rites, and not to trust your safety to the conscience of evil spirits and certain hidden beings; the k’s have no such thing.”
”In addition, you need to possess strong discernment, for evil gods and demons create seemingly harmless identities for themselves, and it is my opinion that you should not offer sacrifices to beings that you are not clear and certain of yourself, or your soul will become a sacrifice as well.”
In layman’s terms, the evil gods and demons will cloak themselves in vests and disguise themselves as identities that can be easily trusted …… Just like in the cyber world, behind some account that looks like a cute girl, there may be a stingy man squatting behind it …… Even if you meet offline and confirm your looks, you have to be Be careful, maybe that is a female big man …… Klein did not ignore Mr. Azik s reminder just because it was an offering to himself, and nodded his head very approvingly.
After emphasizing the precautions, Azik quickly explained what he knew about the sacrifice ceremony:
”First, set up the altar, whichever deity or off-normal hidden existence you wish to sacrifice to, draw and carve the corresponding symbols, use herbs and ores belonging to the k-domain, and, of course, pre-make them into items such as holy oils, ointments, incense, and so on.”
Symbols? Klein froze for a moment, realizing that he, that is, “the fool who does not belong to this age”, did not even know what his corresponding symbols were ……
His thoughts quickly turned to the complex symbol behind the high-backed chair at the top of the bronze table, which consisted of the “Pupil-less Eye”, partly symbolizing secrecy, and the “Twisted Thread”, partly symbolizing change.
”This should be my symbol, to be precise, my symbol above the gray mist …… The field is simple enough, hidden, change, good luck …… But there’s no way to know for sure, so I’ll just have to try to figure it out! …… Well, even if the symbolism is wrong, with the ‘honorable name’ being correct, the target of the sacrifice will not point to another being, and at best, it will cause the ritual to fail, of that, I can be sure… … “Klein rubbed up the surface of the paper thoughtfully, a certain plan in mind.
His eyes regained their focus on the follow-up section:
”Secondly, you have to find out if the offering to the corresponding being needs to be made at a specific point in time, and then, follow the flow of the normal ritual until the chanting of the honorific name and the prayer statement is complete.”
”You must remember that you must use Giant, Dragon, Elven, or Ancient Hermetic languages, and utilize their direct connection with the forces of nature to complete the communication with the corresponding existences, and you can design your own specific phrases, but they must have those key words, ‘Pray,’ ‘gaze’, ‘devotion’, ‘kingdom’, ‘gate’, and ‘ Open’.”
”Finally, you use materials that possess spiritual qualities, combined with the vibrations of natural forces caused by the incantation, to construct the initial passageway that connects to the channel that corresponds to the presence of the ‘gates of the kingdom’, and if the One is interested, your consecration will be complete.”
”This step is not necessary, if you can make the corresponding being very interested, then just after you have chanted the incantation, k will open the ‘kingdom gate’ on its own, and build a stable channel on its own, however, this often means danger, as orthodox deities and hidden beings that are still friendly rarely do so, only those evil gods and demons that would respond directly based on certain purposes.”
Spiritual materials aren’t cheap. …… I wonder if just chanting the incantation will allow me to open a sacrificial channel similar to the “Summoning Gate”, and if it will mobilize some of the power of the mysterious space above the gray mist… …Well, let’s give it a try first, and then go to the underground market to buy materials with spiritual properties. …… You don’t need to use extraordinary materials, do you? It’s just a matter of having a certain amount of spirituality, isn’t it? Klein thought of the 300 gold pounds in his anonymous account and the dozen or so pounds he had just saved up.
Extraordinary materials and materials with a certain amount of spirituality weren’t exactly the same, for example, the heart left behind by Hood Organ was an extraordinary material, and those black scales belonged to materials with a certain amount of spirituality.
After reading the letter from Mr. Aztec, Klein rubbed his fingers together and ignited the spiritual flame, burning the paper into ashes and spilling them into the trash can.
At this time, the night was already deep, so he did not rush to try it, intending to make a good plan and finalize the precautions before practicing it.
He was actually aware of his own problems for a long time, that is, when he had a plan, he was cautious and rational, but once he encountered a situation that was not in the plan, and encountered a state of flash of insight, it was easy to only consider the good aspects and ignore the bad possibilities.
A simple description is that it is easy to die on impulse …… Klein reached out and covered his face.
The next day, Dunn Smith, who had already communicated with the “Substitute Punisher” and the “Mechanical Heart”, began to arrange the tasks, and Klein also accepted the corresponding assignment, to investigate some of the people who had some relationship with Lanlvus, but according to his own opinion and the internal system of the Night Watch, he did not need to be responsible for the people he knew before. system, he didn’t need to be responsible for people he knew before.
Of course, his afternoon fighting lessons continued, and Dunn didn’t use him as a primary investigator.
……
BECKLANDER, HILSTON DISTRICT Inside a house with stables and a garden.
Zylingus, who had a distinctive wide chin and dark green eyes, looked at the unconscious man on the floor and stripped him of his clothing, replacing it on himself.
Immediately afterward, he leisurely walked over to the dressing mirror and watched the black glove on his left hand squirm digestively, watching the many twisted lines emerge from its back.
After a few seconds, Zylingus saw himself in the mirror clouded in shimmering light, his muscles, skin and bones eerily changing.
It didn’t take long for him to become the man on the floor, identical in height, looks, and demeanor!
