  Taking two steps forward and crossing the coffee table, Klein moved his body and shook his wrists without noticing any further abnormalities.

  He looked out the convex belly window at the gas streetlights that illuminated the dimness and gloom, and muttered thoughtfully to himself:

  ”My hands are more dexterous, my movements are more agile, even without extraordinary abilities, if I study hard enough, I can become a top magician.”

  This was his first impression of his own changes.

  And just like what was recorded in the internal information of the Night Watchers, if the magic potion would provide a certain amount of spell ability, then after taking it, the Extraordinary itself would be aware of it, grasping exactly what was there, as if the corresponding knowledge had been infused into his mind through a mysterious way, and topologized in his spirit.

  ”It almost burst my head just now …… ” Klein smiled and shook his head, carefully recalling the previous feelings and the corresponding spells.

  It had to be said that “Magician” was indeed a powerful Sequence 7, with many magical abilities that could be cast quickly.

  Among them, there were three that Klein valued the most and liked the most.

  At the top of the list was “Damage Transfer”!

  As long as there was no direct death, as long as his hands could still move, he could transfer wounds from vital locations to less important places such as his arms, turning fatal wounds into minor injuries, this was a transcendent ability that was very useful in actual combat to save his life.

  The only problem is that at this stage of Sequence 7, wounds can only be transferred on one’s own body, and there is only one chance to do so, and perhaps with the upgrading of one’s own Sequence, it is also possible to transfer items to other people …… It really does have a magical feel to it …… Klein thought about the The second spell is the “Wound” spell, which is the “Wound” spell.

  The second spell is “flame jump”, within a range of 30 meters, he can flash between the fire he left behind and the original flame, similar to instantaneous transfer, which seems to have the special use of the spirit world.

  Well, it can be well used to perform magic …… Klein laughed to himself in his heart with great satisfaction.

  More importantly, as he digests the magic potion, the range of the “Flame Jump” will become significantly larger as his sequence improves.

  The third type of spell was the “Air Bomb”, which Klein had seen at the Tuxedo Clown of the Secret Society.

  ”By snapping his fingers and simulating sounds, a magician can create air bullets that are no less powerful and faster than bullets from a special revolver. Moreover, its effect will also follow the progress of the digestion of the magic potion and the development of his own sequence, and Klein suspected that by Sequence 5, or Sequence 4, he would be able to rub his hands together. Cannonball.

  ”In that case, there’s no need for me to buy a pistol and bullets, no, I still need to buy another one, there are a lot of things that don’t need to reveal that I have extraordinary abilities at all, and problems that can be solved with a gun aren’t considered problems.” Klein nodded his head imperceptibly and turned to examine the other spells and spell-like abilities.

  The fourth was “Paper Man Substitute”, at critical moments, the magician could briefly turn the paper man he was carrying into himself and switch places with himself, it was a relatively simple substitution spell, in addition to being able to block a fatal blow, it could also effectively weaken curse damage.

  So this is the role of the “secret puppet master” Rosago carries those paper people …… He must be very sorry, because he is contaminated by the “real Creator”, there is no way to not have the opportunity to use the Substitute …… The biggest problem with this spell is that it requires the advance preparation of materials, i.e., paper figures of relatively delicate cuts, and earlier in the Fifth Age, extraordinary persons carrying such items would undoubtedly have been regarded as dark wizards, and now, if they are found out, they will most likely be suspected as well… …Crane pondered the usefulness and limitations of the Paper Double.

  The fifth is a spell-like ability called “Flame Manipulation”, as the name suggests, it is able to manipulate the flames within a thirty meter range through a simple action, and can also directly ignite certain items within this range, and when the magic potion is thoroughly digested or the sequence is promoted, it can also “summon” a stream of flames out of nowhere. The sixth is “Create Illusion”.

  The sixth is “create illusion”, through the influence of the surrounding environment, to create with color, sound and smell, almost real illusion, to achieve the effect of false, deceive the enemy.

  This is considered a magician’s specialty …… Klein smiled lowly and walked to the front of the convex belly window, hesitantly enjoying the night view of the street.

  The seventh is the false “underwater breathing”, which is based on the principle of creating an invisible air tube, so that the magician underwater can use it to breathe freely, seemingly turning into a so-called fish man.

  The problem with it was that the thin tube of air had a length limitation, and at the current stage Klein could at best maintain a state of about five meters, meaning that once the depth of water exceeded five meters, he would possibly drown.

  Of course, the digestion of magic potions and the improvement of sequences will bring about a substantial increase in the air thin tubes.

  The eighth is the spell-like ability “Bone Softening”, which can help the “magician” to break free from handcuffs, ropes, and boxes.

  Again, it’s a skill to be reckoned with! Klein thought in a good mood.

  The ninth is the evolution of Joker’s ability to turn paper into flying daggers, which is called “Paper as Soldier”, which can not only turn paper into sharp objects, but also briefly turn it into weapons such as sticks and bricks.

  These are the nine main spells or spell-like abilities of the “magician”, although there is no particularly powerful type of attack and defense, and lack of sufficiently bizarre types, but the victory is in the magic and variety, so that Klein’s strength instantly on more than one level, to save his life and escape is even better at it.

  Moreover, “magicians” are equipped with fast spell casting skills, and this sequence of extraordinary people do not need to recite incantations, do not need to be infused with spirituality, and can cast the corresponding spells or spell-like abilities with just a simple action.

  On top of that, the magic potion gave Klein access to a few minor tricks, but none of them had much utility.

  ”Barely an okay Extraordinary One ……,” Klein sighed silently.

  Just as he was about to head out the door for a quick stroll, with a side trip to the Bravehearts Bar to restock his revolver and bullets, the scarlet moonlight outside the cambered belly window, rendered by the glow of the gas street lamps, suddenly darkened and thickened!

  Crane looked up in dismay to find that the overcast clouds and mists in the mid-air had cleared away, and the red moon, a little more than a half-circle, was clearly revealed.

  Its silhouette rapidly plumped up, and after just a second or two, it became a full moon, red as blood!

  And this was just over two weeks after the last full moon!

  According to the normal calendar, according to astronomy, the next full moon was still about ten days away!

  This is a “blood moon”? Klein’s lips twitched, and he muttered to himself with some relief.

  –In this world, the changes of the moon are both regular and irregular.

  In this world, the moon was both regular and irregular. When it was regular, it was exactly the same as what Klein had experienced in his last life, but there were always a few times a year when it would suddenly turn round and red like blood, and there was no logic to it; sometimes it only happened once a year, and sometimes it would happen four or five times a year.

  No matter astronomers, or occultists, can not explain this phenomenon, simply can not summarize the law, can only temporarily ignore this problem, as one of the quandaries, and jokingly said, maybe just the goddess suddenly bad mood, and women’s mood changes are no doubt not regular.

  Of course, do not know the reason, can not figure out the essence, does not mean that there is no summary of the corresponding phenomenon, in the occult, called this situation “blood moon”, that it will bring the negative emotions of the climb and outbreak, that it will make the power of the underworld, the spirit world, the dead, even if they have not been awakened, but also may climb out of the grave.

  ”This is the second time this year, isn’t it?” Klein stood by the convex belly window, admiring the clarified and clean sky, admiring the full moon shaped like a disk, bright red and dripping, and feeling rather good.

  ……

  Inside one of the houses in the Chorwood neighborhood.

  Forsyth Wall, who had attended a party tonight and was too late to return to her two-bedroom room in the St. George district, was sitting cross-legged on the sofa in the living room, nibbling on the new-fangled bread that held the meat and vegetables, and thinking about the plot of her next novel in her cloak of hair.

  Suddenly she frowned and dropped the food and pen in her hand.

  The moonlight shining in through the window grew thicker and redder, while Forsyth’s expression grew more and more pained.

  With every full moon, she heard the maddening murmur!

  Flutter!

  She fell off the couch, her body twisting as she writhed there.

  After a while, she brushed and grabbed off a large handful of hair, but the pain did nothing to alleviate the symptoms of her head about to explode, did nothing to quell the agitation that made her want to end her life with a single stab.

  ”Here we go again ……” Voorhees whispered in agony, her legs tensing convulsively.

  With great difficulty, she chanted the honorable name of the one deity she believed in, wanting salvation:

  ”Great, God of Steam, and Machinery ……”

  ”You are the essence, incarnate ……”

  ”You are the craftsman’s, protector ……”

  ”You are the light, the glory of technology ……”

  Over and over again in the chanting, Voorhees’ pain never abated, but instead grew more and more intense.

  Bang!

  In the midst of her violent tumbling, she accidentally knocked over the coffee table, and the books on it thus scattered on the ground.

  Foerth, who could no longer bear it, frantically scratched the wooden legs of the coffee table with her fingernails, scratching out deep scars one after another, and scratching out teeth-rending creaks and squeaks.

  Snap!

  Her nails snapped hard!

  Her hair was growing eerily long!

  At this moment, Voorhees felt like she was going to lose control and turn into a monster tonight, and she had just chanted the honored names of several deities, but none of them had been saved.

  ”I’m going to die …… I’m going to die ……” She twisted and rolled, and suddenly saw a piece of paper with words written in the ancient Hermetic language.

  It was a mystical incantation that Hugh had discovered from the History of the Nobility of the Kingdom of Ruin!

  Her silent chanting even invoked the presence of a suspected evil spirit!

  Even if, evil spirits …… as long as they can, help me …… I’m willing to accept …… Forsyth’s head had flashed such a thought not too clearly.

  She struggled to look over and whispered with all her strength:

  ”Not of, this age, the Fool ……”

  ”Above the gray mist, of, the mysterious lord ……”

  ”The king of good fortune, the king of yellow and black ……”

  ”Save me, save me ……”
