Part 3 the traveler Chapter 109: The Good Use of Objects
The matter of the thousand paper cranes is still fresh in Kline’s mind, because Will Onsettin, the “serpent of destiny”, used that item to locate Dr. Allen’s astral body, and when he traveled to the spiritual realm in his dreams, he instilled information into him to form a revelation, which was then transformed into a specific dream state.
Later, Klein replaced Will Onsettin’s crane with one he had folded himself, and went to the Grey Mist to do divination, but failed to get a valid conclusion until Dr. Allen’s wife became pregnant, and he guessed that it was the Will Onsettin who had swallowed the tail and restarted the Sequence 0 position through the projection of time and the vague understanding of Sequence 1 to Sequence 0, and that the other party was in a Sequence 0 position battle with the other Serpent of Destiny. He guessed that the other “Serpent of Destiny” was in a fierce battle with the other “Serpent of Fate” for the position of Sequence 0, and that the nightmare brought by the thousand paper cranes was just an add-on, and its real function was to help Will Ansettine to become a baby in a secretive way.
The funniest part of this whole thing is that the thousand-paper crane Klein folded was replaced by the Nightwatchmen of Berkland as the original Will Onsettine by forging one of them with their even cruder handiwork.
”The Will Onsettin one had been left above the gray mist by me, and I had almost forgotten …… to use it for divination only to obtain very vague revelations, and it would have been difficult to deduce that the child carried by Dr. Allen’s wife was Will Onsettin without some other encounter, but in turn Will Onsettin was able to use it to achieve the the location of the spirit world, just as the magic mirror Aroldus relied on the scent of the gray mist to connect to that radio receiver from the spirit world ……
”Huh, that seems to exist as some kind of possibility ……” Klein sat bolt upright with a highly creative idea.
He was going to use that thousand paper cranes to communicate with Will Onsettin in his dreams!
This may not be useful to me now, and even hide a certain amount of danger, but if Will Ansettin is really the “Serpent of Destiny” of the School of Life, I will certainly be able to exchange a certain amount of goodwill by providing the appropriate information …… For this kind of angel king level existence, it is necessary to invest in advance, so I’m not sure if I’m the right person to do it, but I think it’s a good idea. For this kind of angel king level existence, it is necessary to invest in advance, when he is really born, there may be dozens of times the return, anyway, try and won’t die, uh, can also be resurrected after death …… Klein thought in his heart, but in reality, he was very cautious, he intends to go to the gray fog above the level of danger divination, and then decide whether to put it into practice.
After a lot of busy, he was sure that the level of danger of this matter is acceptable, so he used the ceremony to bring the thousand paper cranes from the gray fog back to the real world.
Perhaps it was because of the Sequence 1 “Serpent of Destiny”, the crane did not show any unique features because it stayed above the gray mist for too long, but remained ordinary and commonplace.
”I hope the breath above the gray mist hasn’t neutralized its own specialness, or else Will Onsettin won’t be able to locate it, hmmm …… ‘Serpent of Destiny’ is preceded by the sequence ‘Prophet ‘, could what I do later be right up Will Onsettin’s alley?
”He chose Dr. Allen to be his father because Dr. Allen was a friend of mine and rolled over to be able to bond with me? Would that be too narcissistic ……
”However, there is one question that is questionable, after Will Onsettin used the Thousand Paper Cranes to locate Dr. Allen, he could just ‘reincarnate’ directly, so why did he have to let him have recurring nightmares, and that dream also signaled the ‘Serpent of Fate ‘ The fight between them, to an ordinary person who neither understands nor can play any role in this matter, is this not seducing a blind man with his eyes?
”The dream created by Will Onsettin was displayed for me to see?”
Klein frowned slightly, having a certain guess.
He pushed down his doubts, picked up the round-bellied fountain pen, filled it with ink, and contemplated leaving a message on the thousand paper cranes to attract the attention of Will Ensettin, the “Serpent of Destiny”.
What should I write? Kline thought back to the encounter with the School of Life described by Aroldus, and felt that there was one sentence that was all-encompassing, but also very distinctive and rich in emotion.
That sentence was:
”Your house blew up!”
It was too vulgar and too direct to be polite, and Will Onsettin may not be the Speaker of the School of Life …… Klein deliberated for a moment, spreading the thousand cranes slightly and writing different words on various surfaces to form a very short sentence:
”Roy King captured.”
With that done, Klein put the pen away and tucked the thousand paper cranes into his wallet, just as Dr. Allen had done.
……
On the edge of the Rothschild Sea, off the main channel position on a giant island obscured by mist.
With a mournful chirp, the blue raptor, so fast it seemed like a shadow, fell from the sky and landed hard on the ground, splattering dirt and blood.
Without carelessness, Alger Wilson stood at a distance, raised his left hand, and with the black iron-colored ring he wore on his thumb, aimed it at the terrifyingly extraordinary creature that was the Blue Shadow Falcon.
The top of the ring had a spiky protrusion, stained with old blood, both ancient and sinister.
It was a magical item that he had purchased from the Artisan for a bounty of “Steel” McVitie, claiming 5,200 pounds, but actually spending only 3,100 pounds.
The name of the ring was “Spirit Whip”, which could cause great mental damage to the enemy, but other than that, it only strengthened Alger’s mastery of all kinds of weapons, so it wasn’t that expensive in reality.
At that time, the “artisan” and his friends had two magical items in their hands, one was the “Spirit Whip” and the other was the “Ring of Sorcery”, the latter had many abilities, was highly adaptable, and was similar in price to the former, which was a better choice. The latter had many abilities and adaptability, and its price was similar to the former, so it was a better choice, but after serious consideration, Alger still chose the “Spirit Whip”, he believed that without this item, hunting Blue Shadow Falcons would be several times more difficult, because it was an extraordinary creature that could fly, and the facts also proved his judgment.
For this reason, Alger was willing to suffer from a constant headache that made him want to bang his head against the wall.
After waiting for a few minutes, and seeing spots of light floating on the Blue Shadow Falcon’s body, and six crystallized feathers congealing at the wing locations, Alger sighed in relief and walked over to it.
Tied to his forehead was a strip of linen with a blood-red gemstone set in it, emitting light like moonlight.
It was a vampire baronial inheritance that should have belonged to Emlyn White, but instead of rushing to complete the transaction when Alger got his hands on it, he used the properties that it could initially utilize to add an insurance policy to his hunt for the Blue Shadow Falcon.
Some times, being an intermediary is quite good …… Alger sighed silently as he put away the six crystallized feathers.
He straightened his body and looked towards the towering peaks in the center of this primitive island and the dense jungle around it, sensing that there were many, many unspeakable dangers hidden there.
My current strength is not enough to explore this place …… Alger retracted his vision and walked towards the edge of the island, always aware of whether there are other “hunters” around.
Soon, he jumped into the sea, and with the ability of a “navigator”, he easily swam to the distance, where his ghost ship was parked, and his sailors were still sleeping under the effect of the blood narcotic gas.
–To get to this pristine island, the ship would have to deviate from the main channel and sail for at least six hours in stormy conditions with sea monsters lurking around, risking sinking at any moment, and only a mariner familiar with the route would be able to bring the ship close by.
……
Late night came, and Crane, who had been recuperating all day, laid down his paper and got under the covers.
When he was about to fall asleep, he suddenly thought of a problem.
Daniz went back to the “Golden Dream” ship, I’m alone in such a large suite will not be too wasteful? Klein nodded his head imperceptibly and decided to check out of the room at dawn and change to another hotel.
After making up his mind, he fell fast asleep, and was suddenly awake in a daze.
He knew that a force had invaded his dreams!
Even the “serpent of fate” invasion can be detected, I’m very powerful, no, the gray fog is very powerful …… Klein looked around and found himself in a dark and barren plain, not far away from a black minaret.
This was the image he had once seen in Dr. Allen’s dream, but at this time the spire no longer had the mysterious silver-white giant snake on it.
Nodding thoughtfully, Klein quickened his pace and entered the darkened spire, which was still ancient and decayed, with a confusing layout, steps sometimes circling up, sometimes sloping down, and rooms that were either normal, upside down, or set into other parts of the building.
Through a large door and through a wall, Klein was once again in the depths of the black tower.
Here a tarot deck was scattered, clustered around a slightly raised floor in the center.
There was a line of silver-white words and a portrait there.
The portrait belonged to the fat apothecary, and the silver and white words formed a sentence:
”Inform Duckwell.”
The fat pharmacist’s name was Duckwell …… Will Onsettin was really the “serpent of destiny” of the School of Life, and I could indeed communicate with him in my dreams using a thousand paper cranes …… Klein After waiting for a while and seeing no other revelations, I exited the dream and went back to sleep.
……
After sunrise, Klein put on his bowler hat and rode in a horse-drawn carriage to the door of the Red Theater.
The famous brothel was at its coldest, and was as quiet as a haunted house.
Crane glanced over his shoulder and walked straight down the alley diagonally across the street to Duckwell’s Folk Herb Shop.
He suddenly had a sense and looked up at the roof to see a fat owl standing there, watching him steadily.
The fat apothecary seemed to be trying to domesticate extraordinary animals …… before Klein withdrew his eyes thoughtfully and knocked on the door.
Knock, knock, knock!
He waited for a while before he saw Fat Apothecary Duckwell sleepily open the door.
”…… You’re not sick.” Duckwell said after a while of scrutinizing.
Klein kept the cold expression of Germaine Sparrow and politely tugged at the corners of his mouth and said:
”Good morning, Mr. Apothecary.
”I found your teacher.”
”Really?” Fat Apothecary Duckwell asked incredulously in return, “You only accepted the commission the day before yesterday ……”
