Part 1 The Joker Chapter 206 – “Level 2” Seals
Inside the deep and serene underground corridor, the nearly four-meter white bone messenger clutched the paper in his hand and disappeared in front of Klein’s eyes without causing any unusual changes.
Waiting until only the elegant gas lamps set into the wall remained around him, he put away the Aztec copper whistle and continued walking towards the Charnis Gate.
In the course of writing the letter, he had already figured out which seal to pick next:
First of all, it was almost impossible for a class “3” seal to affect the baby in Megoeth’s womb, unless it was something as mysterious as the “Mutated Sun Emblem”.
However, at this moment, in this situation, Klein did not have the heart or time to explore or study secrets that may or may not exist, in addition to the fact that seals more or less have hidden dangers, which would cause great inconvenience or even danger to the user, so Klein directly ruled out these “3” grade seals that could not affect the enemy, but would weaken himself instead. ” level seals.
Secondly, Tingen City’s night watchman squad did not have any “1” grade seals, and there were only three “2” grade seals, which originally belonged to a secret that Klein shouldn’t know, but given the critical situation, Dunn decisively used the “emergency clause” to tell him the general situation. But given the critical situation, Dunn decisively used the “emergency clause” and told him the general situation.
–Dunn Smith can’t pick up another seal while holding the ashes of St. Selene, not even one.
And the “2” seals behind the Charnis Gate in Tingen are “2-030”, “2-078” and “2-105 2-030”, “2-078” and “2-105”.
The name of “2-030” is “Never Dying Poison”, which comes from an extraordinary person who suddenly went crazy and whose serial name is unknown. He committed suicide by cutting off his wrist and letting the blood inside his body flow into a small silver cup, but when he ran out of blood, the cup was not full. However, when he ran out of blood, the silver cup was not full, and the liquid inside became crystalline and moist, which was very tempting, and even an extraordinary person of sequence 5 could not resist this temptation, and drank this cup of liquid, and was poisoned to death on the spot.
And after the death of the poisoner, the venom will seep out a little bit from within the pores of his skin and regather together, no more and no less compared to the very beginning.
Dunn claimed that the researchers of the Holy Church suspected that all the high sequence powerhouses would die because of this, but the problem was that the high sequence powerhouses would hardly be tempted by the cup of poison, and because of the distinctive characteristics of “2-030”, it was not possible to take it by mistake, in order to poison them, it was necessary to capture them first, firmly control them, and forcibly instill them, but why should it be such a But why bother?
”2-030″ will constantly tempt the surrounding creatures to drink it, the user must be fully concentrated to resist this power, the slightest relaxation, will be like a habit of drinking the poison in the hand.
Almost as soon as Dunn finished describing it, Klein had decided not to pick this seal.
”2-078″ is known as the “door of death”, its appearance is a normal wooden door, all the creatures that pass through it, will die directly, there is no high sequence of powerful people to participate in the test.
It has the characteristic of being alive, it will always try to escape, and can change its shape to disguise itself as one of the original doors. If the user makes a mistake and lets it out of control, he or she must be careful not to pass through any of the surrounding doors, and try to wait for help, or just break the walls to get out of the way.
Klein considered using “2-078”, but after weighing it over and over again, he decided that the intuition of mythical creatures must be very sharp, and they should be able to tell which door is the “door of death”, so this seal would not be too effective in combat.
In the end, he decided to pick “2-105”.
The name of this seal is “Vessel Thief”, its shape is a thick, stiffened blood vessel, whoever touches it, no matter whether it is protected or not, will be stolen from the life, at first it is not obvious, but if you do not disengage from the contact, after half an hour, there will be a corresponding outward manifestation, according to Dunn, a Sequence 5 cultist supported for two hours. cultist supported himself for two hours, going from a strong man in his thirties to a senile man with a stooped body, loose wrinkled skin, white and thinning hair, and all of his teeth falling out.
The biggest feature of “2-105” is that the person who wears it has a chance to steal one of the abilities of a certain target within a certain range, and high sequence powerhouses will also be stolen, but the chances are smaller.
Within ten minutes of the seal’s ability taking effect, the person who stole it will directly lose the corresponding ability, while the wearer can skillfully use it, and after ten minutes, the ability disappears, and the person who stole it will have to wait until the next day to recover it.
”Regardless of whether it works or not, at least it raises the probability of winning from five percent to ten percent, and I’m at least the King of Yellow and Black who reigns over good fortune……. Besides, our main purpose is just to prevent trouble and plan for the worst, not necessarily to do anything about it… …I hope the helpers arrive soon…… “Klein stopped outside the watch room without any further hesitation.
He wasn’t too worried about the negative effects of the seal “2-105” because he wasn’t going to use it himself. ……
His plan is to give Leonard, he has his own “Yangyan charm”, as well as do not know whether it will be suppressed “Aztec copper whistle”.
Fellow poet, it’s time to perform your true secret …… Klein whispered a sentence and saw Sija Teang standing in the doorway of the watch room.
The white-haired, dark-pupiled part-time writer with a quiet demeanor was silent for a few seconds and said:
”You come to guard the Charnis Gate.”
”I’m stronger than you, and I have more experience than you.”
But you don’t have a “phallic charm” …… Klein smiled:
”Ma’am, I’m already Sequence 8.”
”Even here, it won’t be safe, I’m afraid the seals with living properties behind the Charnis Gate are on the move, well, if we fail, those who are here certainly won’t be spared.”
”Oh, our goal up there is to stall for time and wait for rescue, which may be safer than near the Charnis Gate.”
Siga Teang pursed his lips slowly and solemnly drew a Crimson Moon on his chest:
”May the Goddess protect you.”
Because Dunn was too late to write the document, Krynn was unable to enter the Charnis Gate directly, and could only watch as Siga Teang pushed through a gap and flashed inside.
After a few minutes, her figure appeared near the door, holding a thick, pale, blood-stained vein in her left hand.
Klein probed his palm to receive it, and instantly felt what seemed like a faint electric current rushing through his body over and over again.
……
Inside the reception hall of the Blackthorn Security Company.
Leonard had already gotten rid of the stiffness he had just experienced, and his expression was no longer abnormal as he talked about the newly discovered house that Lanreus had rented.
”Is that so? He never told me ……” Mego’oth frowned slightly and made a fairly normal reply.
When she finished, she grabbed a handful of her blonde hair and grabbed down a handful full, casually tossing it into a nearby trash can.
Leonard froze for a moment and swallowed hard, cold sweat seeping out of his palms again.
……
With his left arm wrapped around the “vein thief”, Klein walked up the stairs and back to the second floor.
He saw Dunn Smith, dressed in a thin black knee-length trench coat, standing quietly in the doorway of the night watchman’s lounge under the blue gaslight, his eyes dark and gray, just as they had been when he first met him.
”Get reacquainted, night watchman, Dunn Smith.”
The voice of the past flashed in Klein’s ears, and his mind suddenly flashed back to Dunn, half-lying next to Kornleigh’s body, and to the other man’s blood-stained mouth.
He was silent for a few seconds and walked over, raising his left hand and saying:
”Captain, I picked out the seal ‘2-105’, which I intend to use for Leonard.”
Dunn nodded gently, not asking why, and turned to point down to his office and said:
”The Holy Church sent a telegram saying that they will organize strong men to come over immediately, so let’s delay and wait as long as possible.”
”Those coincidental things, they haven’t given a response yet, I think it should be that there’s nothing to conclude for the time being, or, the person who handled the telegram isn’t aware of the specifics, there’s no way to guess, you know, we have to hurry, the telegram can’t be written for too long.”
”Uh-huh.” Klein nodded and moved closer to the partition, looking out, “How’s the situation?”
”Nothing out of the ordinary yet.” Dunn looked down at the urn of the Holy One resting in his left palm.
Seeing that Leonard was chatting nicely with Megoeth, Klein didn’t go out to interrupt and backed up to the doorway of the night watchman’s recreation room, diagonally across the corridor from Dunn.
Just then, Dunn suddenly smiled to himself and said:
”I forgot one thing.”
”What is it?” Klein responded suspiciously.
Dunn looked at him sideways and said:
”Daley asked me to explain it to you myself.”
”Huh?” Klein froze for a moment, not quite understanding what the captain’s words meant.
After a couple of seconds, without waiting for Dunn to answer, he snapped out of it:
The reason Ms. Daley had not replied to the letter in time was that she did not think it was necessary, and she had directly relayed the matter to the captain for him to explain himself.
This, this meant that there was no major problem with the captain!
At this critical juncture, Klein was flooded with heartfelt joy.
