Part 3 the traveler Chapter 107: “Provocation”
For a moment, Klein thought that “Disease Lieutenant General” Tracy would make a direct move, because the other party’s face had reddened with anger, and her blue eyes had darkened a lot, like the surface of the sea when a storm was approaching.
But in the end, Tracy was not impulsive and reckless, turned her head sideways and looked at Caterina Pellet, waiting for the “ageless witch” to make a decision.
She is very clear, sequence 5 and sequence 4 although only a level difference, but there is an essential difference, rely on tactics rely on play can not make up for the two, one of the two belong to a normal human with special features, one has stepped into the realm of demigods, is a divine creature, mythological creatures.
Moreover, the two present were obviously more than Sequence 4, and Tressie felt like a low Sequencer in front of them.
”Ageless Witch” Katrina Pellet did not see irritation, looking toward Klein who was wearing the face of “Hurricane Lieutenant General” Zilingus, her eyes flowed, and she laughed softly and said:
”Really an interesting young man, if not ‘death consul’ Mr. here, I may not reveal the inner vicissitudes, and you have an encounter, talk about a pure love.”
No, you don’t want to …… This sounds terrible …… Klein didn’t dare to look directly at the other party, but could only continue to look at the “Disease Maiden” Tracy.
Katrina saw that Aztec Aegis did not show any expression, withdrew her eyes, and said to Tracy in that beautiful voice like singing:
”Suffer in pain, it may be a good thing for you.”
She whirled around and looked at Aztec with holy dignity:
”I remember that collection of documents, it contained all the attempts of the Byronic royal family to resurrect the dead, but sadly, they all seemed to fail, and at the end of the day, it was as if they were considering artificial death.
”Are you still interested?”
Artificial Death? How can the Grim Reaper be artificial? Apart from “uniqueness” and extraordinary characteristics, how could there be another way? This is not like growing cabbages. …… In the past, the Byron Empire, and now the Spirit Order, wouldn’t they all be crazy? Klein secretly mumbled a couple of sentences, did not insert the conversation between the demigods and demi-humans.
Azuk pondered for two seconds and asked again:
”What price do I need to pay?”
Katrina smiled a youthful smile:
”No, it doesn’t.
”On second thought, it should be fun to help you regain your memories a little bit, get your past back, and become that ‘Consul of Death’ again, it could bring more change more fun to this world.”
This is said like a rebellious girl …… “Ageless Witch” ageless not only in the physical body, but also in the mind? Klein felt a little unable to grasp each other’s thinking.
Perhaps the “audience” pathway sequence 6, sequence 5, or sequence 4 to be able to do? He speculated subconsciously.
Aztec nodded, and with his right hand, the paper and pens in the room flew over on their own, as if an invisible spirit was at his service.
He finished writing with the brush and tossed the paper over:
”You can summon my messenger.”
It turns out that there is only one …… copper whistle that can remain effective for more than a thousand years, and that copper whistle is really not a simple thing …… Klein instinctively wanted to reach out and touch the Aztec copper whistle in his lower coat pocket, but forced himself to hold back.
”Fountain Witch,” Katrina said, catching the paper, glancing at it, and pursing her lips:
”I thought you were going to just tell me where the Underworld was.”
She raised her head, her azure eyes carrying an unspeakable tenderness, and said with a light smile:
”I still remember how powerful and cold a man Mr. ‘Consul of Death’ was back then, and it left an extremely deep impression on me.
”I’m curious as to why you, now, have become so soft inside.”
Azuk clenched his fist against his mouth and shook his head with a bitter smile:
”I am immortal, not ageless, and people always become gentle once they age.”
”No.” Katrina said with deep, undisguised eyes, “I’m looking forward to the day you get your memories back completely, and would like to see what the person you are then says about the person you are now.”
At that, the corner of her mouth quirked slightly and she winked at Klein:
”Perhaps we’re unleashing a being more evil and terrible than a demon.”
…… This is a provocation, isn’t it? …… Klein whispered inwardly, but he still couldn’t help but think of the “Pale Catastrophe” that was recorded in the history books and the canonical books of the major churches, which led to the death of a large number of creatures, causing the North Continent to be destroyed. A large number of creatures died, so that the northern continent into a living hell, and this disaster is led by the “God of Death” and the “original witch”, is the southern continent of the God of Death cluster and witch sect, which, known as the “death” of the Mr. Aztec, known as the “Consul of Death”, must also play a very important role. ……
After a few seconds of silence, Mr. Aztec grabbed Klein’s shoulder and led him into the spirit world, traveling away. Inside the captain’s room of the Black Death ship, only the “Fountain Witch” Katrina Pelletier and the “Disease Admiral” Tressie were left.
The latter looked at the place where the two disappeared, and after a while, she gritted her teeth and said:
”I won’t forget this!”
Katrina resumed her saintly stance and smiled faintly:
”Suffer, the more you suffer, the more you can feel your own weakness. It is only when the pain is extreme that that desire to change yourself will be strong enough to help you withstand the magic potion and gain divinity in the ritual to become a demigod ……”
”Lt. General Disease,” Tressie asked offhandedly as she heard these words and suddenly remembered something, her expression clenching:
”Elaine was able to escape the Black Death because ……”
Katrina said with a clear smile:
”You are my youngest child, but the one with the greatest potential to become a demigod, as a mother, of course I want to help you.”
Trixie’s face muscles twitched and twisted:
”Yes, I have you as a mother, and a mom ……
”Why didn’t you tell me the truth in the first place, you obviously hold several pathways to the low and middle sequences!”
Katrina turned her body, her white robes swinging lightly as her tone drifted:
”We all have to be close to the ‘original’.
”We are all children of K.”
As she spoke, raging but quiet black flames rose from the huge dozens of meters long sailing ship, they covered every corner and burned silently without harming the pirates on the Black Death, as if they were tidying up the accumulated ashes.
……
Cascading color blocks fly back, indescribable transparent figure far away, Klein spirit suddenly touched, feel his left on the black dead ship all the items disappeared.
I’m not ashamed to say that I’m an “ageless witch”…… Klein sighed, and was about to speak, but once again, there was a sharp drop, and together with Aztec, they left the spirit world.
They were in a valley, spread out along the river, with fertile fields, manor houses and small towns that were very characteristic of Lune.
Klein looked around and realized that where he currently stood was a long abandoned, dark cemetery.
”Mr. Azik ……” he called out suspiciously.
Azik walked over to a tomb with a broken stone monument and covered in weeds and spoke in a low voice:
”After seeing Katrina Pellet, I remembered something else.
”I told you once that in one of my dreams, in one of my lives, I had a daughter with silky black hair who loved to sit on a swing I built with my own hands and ask me for candy.
”While traveling through the spirit world just now, I suddenly sensed that call from my bloodline.”
Klein, infected by the other party’s emotions, asked quietly:
”Is this her ……”
Azek nodded and crouched down, stroking the half tombstone, his bronzed side face was tender, sad, and confused:
”This is her grave.
”If I remember correctly, she died nine hundred and twenty-six years ……”
Nine hundred and twenty-six years …… Klein was about to say something, but was cut off by that long lapse of time.
If it hadn’t been for the major churches forcing the dead to be buried in cemeteries with some care and the lack of total war since the Fifth Age, the graves and headstones would have been nowhere to be found.
A human life was only so many decades, and this was nine hundred and twenty-six years.
The abandoned cemetery was quiet for a while before Azik reared up and grabbed Klein by the shoulders:
”I’ll take you back first.”
A few minutes of spirit-world travel later, Klein saw the clean white sheets and tan floor again.
Azik clicked his bowler hat and said in a hushed voice:
”I will continue my journey, and you will continue your adventure.”
Klein nodded and was about to speak when he saw Mr. Azik tickle the corners of his mouth and chuckle:
”Wasn’t it just now that you were worried that a fully recovered memory would turn me into an evil person like a witch?”
Without waiting for Klein to answer, Azuk sighed and said:
”I was worried too.
”However, I want to find myself even more.”
After saying that, the void around him rippled like water and his figure disappeared into the room.
Klein stood still for a long time without words.
He shook his head and laughed silently like a self relieved man:
”Maybe by that time, I’ll already be a strong person of the angelic realm, and I can establish an antisocial personality treatment hospital, with Ms. ‘Justice’ as the attending physician ……”
Collecting his thoughts, Klein sat down, habitually looking back and reviewing the operation:
”I had expected to graze a ‘Pain Witch’ and get further clues on the Reaper’s literature and the missing persons case, but who knew that neither the development nor the result was expected, and that I had only accomplished the most preliminary goals.
”Hey, I can’t possibly encourage Mr. Aztec to do it, after all, he has not fully recovered, and the opposite side is a bit of ‘Ageless Witch’ …… or their own strength is more important, ah, it’s better to beg than to ask for yourself, huh, come to think of it, I’m a lot of the time Indeed, I am begging myself ……
”The missing persons case could start with the buyer, that ‘Mad Captain’ Connors Victor.”
Klein shifted his sitting position and nodded to himself, whispering inwardly:
”The biggest takeaway this time was the initial establishment of the principle of playing the faceless man, both integrating and withdrawing, and overcoming the psychological barrier that alerts to the problem of obsessive characterization.
”In this way, the magic potion that would take a year or two to digest by simple, normal, realistic play, can be thoroughly absorbed in perhaps another three or four months, and another six months ……”
After introspection, Klein was ready to go to sleep, and when it was light, he would take the radio receiver down from above the gray mist and contact the Magic Mirror Aroldus.
Of course, the prerequisite was to first divine the level of danger above the gray mist.
