Part 3 The Traveler Chapter 223 Mythical Creatures
…… I don’t even have to mention it myself …… I was originally a little embarrassed to ask …… Klein sighed in secret relief, speculated on Germaine Sparrow’s persona, and said flatly:
”I don’t take advantage of people.”
As soon as the words left his mouth, he regretted a little, afraid that the “Iceberg Lieutenant General” really changed his words.
Edwina’s light blue eyes turned slightly and said:
”The only condition is that if anything is researched, tell me the answer.”
Hoo…… Klein stopped shivering and nodded gently:
”Good.”
Dozens of seconds later, he held the iron black key that was as big as a seven-stringed zither and returned to his room.
And at this time, an exuberant and blazing song came from the foredeck position:
”How charming are your eyes, as if they were the morning sun;
”Each night, when darkness falls, I wander alone, with sadness in my heart, waiting doggedly for the light;
”Oh, how charming are your eyes, as if they were the morning sun ……” (note 1)
Klein subconsciously went to the window and looked out, seeing the bonfire already burning, and the spare crew of the Golden Dream surrounded the side, either grilling meat and fish, or gulping and drinking wine, or following the song of the “singer” Orpheus, dancing irregularly but lively enough. The atmosphere was extremely cheerful.
The tantalizing aroma of grease baked and burned filled out, a wisp of bias upwards, Klein saw Anderson Hood is also in the group of pirates, drinking happily, eating happily, and occasionally roar a couple of jokes, it seems to have become a member of the “Golden Dream”, not at all like the exclusion of the previous, on the contrary, Danizzi On the other hand, Daneez did not appear outside, at least Klein did not find him next to the “Tin” and “Bucket”.
As long as there is no provocation, Anderson this guy’s social skills are still quite strong ah …… This may belong to the “conspirators” ability to collect information? Well, he may have transferred his hatred to me. ……
I don’t know if Daniz will be able to get stronger because of this incident, if he can step up and get stronger, then I, the “Fool”, will no longer have only myself under his command, and will not have to show the trinity state from time to time…Oh, I, the hidden existence, will finally have a believer in reality, and a clerk who can be directly instructed! Although temporarily only Danizi a person …… have to say, or relatively shabby ……
Klein, while sighing with emotion, is about to prepare for the ceremony, the “Giant Key” will be sacrificed to the gray fog.
At this moment, he suddenly had a touch of inspiration, instinctively opened the spiritual vision, looked to the side.
A white bone was thrown out, coalescing into a messenger whose eye sockets burned with black flame.
The bulk of the messenger was on the floor below, so it was nearly level with Germaine Sparrow and had not penetrated the ceiling any further, but the palm of its hand grasping the letter was still so huge that it seemed to be able to wrap right around Klein’s head.
Mr. Aztec replied to the letter quite quickly this time Well …… Klein nodded politely while accepting the letter paper and unfolding it.
He was about to read the content, when he suddenly realized that the white bone messenger was still staying in place, and didn’t just disappear after delivering the letter like usual.
”Is there something wrong?” Klein asked in surprise.
Just as he had opened his mouth, an idea suddenly flashed through his mind and he was busy adding:
”I’ll summon you again if I need to write back.”
The White Bone Messenger’s huge head nodded, and his body disintegrated in a flash, cascading down and returning to the Underworld.
”Last time, Ms. Renette Tinicol had a waiting reply, and this time, the white bone messenger is also …… Could this be the new norms and statutes of the ‘messenger world’? Pah, there is no such thing as ‘messenger world’ ah, are their own recruitment of their own, and the vast majority of messengers belong to the ‘part-time’ …… Well, just now the White Bone Messenger gave me a feeling that it is a little aggrieved feeling…… “Klein shook his head, not bothering to think much about it, and turned his attention back to Mr. Aztec’s letter:
”…… To put it simply, starting from the acquisition of divinity and promotion to Sequence 4, it is a process of gradual derivation to mythological creatures, and this process does not end until Sequence 2, so there is a fundamental difference between angels and saints, and in the distant ancient times, the former could even be called subordinate to the gods.
”Every demigod, including saints and angels, has its own mythological creature form, which is an inhuman form that combines complex knowledge, divine qualities and hidden symbols, and an ordinary person would suffer serious damage or even insanity even with just a glance, and the higher the demigod’s rank, the stronger and more irresistible similar damage would be, and so creatures at this level all must always control themselves and not display their corresponding forms, or else their mere existence itself would bring disaster to their surroundings.
”For demigods, one of the major characteristics of losing control is, losing one’s mind and no longer being able to collect one’s mythical creature form.
”However, the Holy One’s mythological creature form is not complete, there are still obvious characteristics of the original race, strictly speaking, one must reach Sequence 2 in order to be considered a true mythological creature ……”
I also don’t know if the blood that Ms. “Hidden One” wants is true mythological creature blood, or if it can be a little more lenient …… Heh, I wonder if the umbilical cord blood left behind after Will Onsettin’s birth counts, k is sequence 1 ” Serpent of Destiny”, definitely a mythological creature, but again, the status isn’t quite right …… When there’s more things accumulated, I can write them on a paper crane and ask k along with it… hmmm, there are only two more chances to write, so I have to be discreet enough… but then again, I’m about to return to Berklund… …With that in mind, Klein silently calculated when Will Ensign, the Serpent of Destiny, would be born.
He didn’t try to remember exactly, but he was under the impression that Will Ansettine was conceived in November last year, and it was already mid-April.
So, K will be born in July? Or maybe a little earlier …… Klein thought with not too much certainty; after all, he hadn’t had a girlfriend or a wife in his last life, much less a child.
He quickly collected his thoughts, put this matter aside for the time being, and began to set up the ceremony, sacrificing the “Giant’s Key” to himself – the reason why he didn’t use a spirit to carry it is because the key is too heavy for Klein to carry at the moment.
Soon, he came above the gray mist, let the iron black giant key fly to the surface of the bronze table, and carefully checked several times.
After confirming that there was nothing out of the ordinary, he materialized a pen and paper and wrote down the divination statement:
”This key corresponds to the place.”
Holding the paper and cradling the key, Klein leaned against the back of the chair and fell into a deep sleep in low thoughts.
This time, the first thing that appeared in the gray sky was the distorted and uncertain translucent barrier, then the image drew closer and all of a sudden, a heavy gate over 10 meters high appeared.
The gate was mainly blue-gray in color, with many symbols, logos and patterns inscribed on both sides symmetrically to each other, which was solemn and mysterious at the same time.
The light of dusk reflected blurrily, coloring this folio gate with a distinct sense of decay, as if the daylight of the entire world had ended and eternal darkness was about to come.
Immediately after, Klein noticed a dark hole to the left of the doorway, three or four meters high, equivalent to an adult human’s fist.
The scene quickly shattered, the dream then ended, and Klein opened his eyes.
”A gate similar to the Black Abbey but of a different color …… The light of dusk …… My interpretation is that this represents one of the doors of the ‘Court of the Giants’ …… Well, the earliest distorted translucent barrier is supposed to be a symbol of the ‘Godforsaken Land’ being cut off from the outside world, so no matter how much divination is done, you can’t see the picture you want to see without the gray mist to eliminate interference… … “Klein tapped his fingers on the edge of the mottled table and made a certain judgment in his heart.
He had decided to buy the “Giant’s Key”!
After busily bringing 5,000 pounds of cash back to the real world, Klein packed up the items on the table, and with the thick money in his hand, he once again left the room and walked towards the captain’s room.
”Heh, the bounty for Gilthias, the ‘Apostle of Desire’ is equal to a key plus 1000 gold pounds ah ……” Klein glanced at the bills in his hand and once again knocked the The door of the “Iceberg Lieutenant General’s” room.
With a creak, Edwina appeared in the doorway, she looked at the cash Germaine Sparrow was holding, her eyebrows twitched slightly, her eyes widened, and she said brightly:
”You got results?”
Klein gave an “Uh-huh.”
”I’ve got the answer, it’s suspected to be related to the ‘Court of the Giants’.”
”The mythical ‘Giant Royal Court’?” Edwina asked rhetorically with sparkling eyes.
Klein nodded gently in affirmation.
Edwina’s lips quirked as if she wanted to inquire something else, but ultimately said nothing and simply took the 5,000 pounds in cash.
She looked back at the rows and rows of bookshelves in the captain’s chamber, and after a few seconds of contemplation, she said to Klein:
”If you’re interested in any of these books, feel free to come and borrow them during the day.”
My only request is …… Klein silently guessed in his heart what the “Iceberg Lieutenant General” was going to say next.
”My only condition is that you exchange history with me when you have free time.” Edwina added after a moment, her eyes shining brightly:
Klein smiled darkly and thought for a moment:
”Okay, but I won’t answer all the questions.”
At the same time, he said a silent prayer in his heart:
I hope that “Lieutenant General Iceberg” has a more advanced method of making charms in his collection. ……
”No questions.” The corners of Edwina’s mouth moved slightly, and her expression actually livened up quite a bit.
”See you tomorrow.” Klein then took off his hat and pressed it to his chest, saluting in farewell.
Edwina also returned the salute seriously:
”See you tomorrow.”
……
BECKLANDER, IRON GATE STREET, outside THE BRAVE MAN’S BAR.
Emlyn White leaves the carriage, pushes open the wooden door, and walks in.
He is instantly irritated by the mixed smells inside, and raises a hand to pinch his nose in disgust.
He hadn’t made much progress in the race to hunt the followers of the Primordial Moon, so he planned to go to the “Brave Man’s Bar”, as Sherlock Moriarty often referred to it, in search of Ian, a seemingly well-informed black-market weapons trader. –The latter’s name is one that Emlyn learned from other sources before arriving.
