Part 3 The Traveler Chapter 230 Three Questions
Ta-da-da-da, an illusory white sheet of paper spat out from within the radio receiver, which read in Ruunese:
”Great Master, your loyal and humble servant Arodes has finally, finally caught up with you again!”
…… Don’t be so excited …… Well, “Magic Mirror” Arodes’ speaking skills are as professional as ever, and there is no expression of “grudges” for not being able to contact him for a long time. “Grievance”, also did not ask me so long not to find the reason for it, directly to blame the problem on its own, that they did not catch up with my pace …… make me a little bit guilty, but the defense or to be on the defensive! …… Klein actually did not know how to respond for a moment.
Aroldus did not wait, using that radio receiver, da da da da on the illusory white paper to get a careful probe to look at the expression:
”Great Master, Dominator above the spirit world, your servant senses that you are one step closer to returning to the Holy Throne, yes?”
This one has evolved so fast that it has already evolved from the use of face words to the construction of a prototype emoticon …… In Arodes’s perception, I’m a true god who’s finding himself step by step? So, although it clearly found out that I only have Sequence 5 now, it still did not take it lightly, but instead became more humble? Understanding that the “Magic Mirror” was deliberately asking a question, Klein frankly nodded his head and said:
”Yes.”
”You have answered my question, and in exchange, as a rule I must follow, you may ask me a question.” Aroldus “typed” a quick response, and attached a “smiley face” at the end.
Without hesitation, Klein asked directly:
”Where can I get the magic potion formula for ‘Trickster’?”
The illusory white paper was spat out for a long time, filled with countless complex symbols, and then formed a mirror, presenting a real scene:
It was a deep hall with no natural light source, and within it was a huge writhing mass of something so blurry that it was like a pencil drawing erased by an eraser, and it was impossible to see any specific details.
However, the “magic mirror” Arodes has a large text attached to the bottom of the scene:
”This is Charatu, k lost control of his promotion to Sequence 1 ‘Secret Servant’ and turned into a monster, but be careful, great master, k is a very cunning fellow, perhaps all of this manifestation was deliberately made by k.
”I can’t look directly at k, it would bring me harm, you can’t get the magic potion formula from any demigod in the Mithraic Order except k, because Charatu was directly supplied with a high sequence of magic potions in the first place, and there’s almost no way to reverse divine this through extraordinary properties.”
That’s a very detailed answer, and it also gives me the added benefit of knowing that the Sequence 1 corresponding to the “Diviner” pathway is “Secret Servant” …… which means Servant of the Secret Angels? It seems the only way to get the potion formula is to face Chalatu directly, and I can’t even look at K. …… No wonder Will Ensettin, the Serpent of Destiny, only said he was looking for the crazy Chalatu and didn’t mention the Order of the Secret Doctors… …Klein was actually touched by the attitude of “Magic Mirror” Aroldus, if he did not feel that he did not have the qualities and strength to master this seal, he was going to truly regard the other party as his servant.
In a crisp clattering sound, the illusory white paper grew another section, revealing another scene:
It was a lofty mountain peak with a dilapidated palace on top of it, and a huge stone seat was vaguely visible inside the palace.
Klein was familiar with this image, and knew what it symbolized without the need for “Magic Mirror” Aroldus to explain it:
The treasure of the Antigonus family hidden in the main peak of the Hornachis Mountains!
The white paper continued to be spit out, and a new scene appeared on it, with a change of camera perspective, just like in a movie:
The first thing that caught Klein’s eye was a towering Gothic clock tower and the magnificent palaces that surrounded it.
The former represented the “Bell of Order” and the latter the Soderac Palace, both of which were landmarks of Birkeland.
As the camera moves, a new building soon appears on the white page, a solid black church with two symmetrical bell towers.
This church grows larger and larger within the scene, soon showing the interior and settling on an iron black folio door somewhere in the ground.
The gates were unusually heavy and inscribed with seven dark holy emblems, like the guards of a deep, dark heaven.
”Charnis Gate …… St. Samuel’s Church ……” Klein recognized the familiar style of the gate and identified the church, based on its architectural features, as the Church of the Goddess of Darkness, Diocese of Birkeland, the headquarters – St. Samuel’s Church!
The white paper spat out, and the scene shifted to the deep darkness, where an empty bookshelf made of rooted white bones held an ancient notebook in silence, its wrapper made of stiff paper, tinted black.
Klein recognized the notebook at once:
It was the Antigonus family notebook that had led to the death of the body’s original owner!
In a roundabout way, everything was back to square one!
Klein gazed quietly for a while, waiting until the image disappeared before finding his own thoughts:
”It’s also true that when everyone in the Aurora Club saw the ‘Joker’ magic potion formula from this notebook, I, who got its approval, when I look through it again, the content presented on it will definitely be very different from the past, and there should be the ‘Trickster Mage ‘ magic potion formula, just lacking the materials or characteristics.
”It turns out that this notebook has been sealed behind the Charnis Gate of St. Samuel’s Church, and to get it from such a place, the difficulty would not be much lower than searching for Chalatu and facing k straight on……. The incident of the Great Haze of Berkland that had a High Sequence of Powerful People involved in the first place was not resolved until I reported it to the church through the ‘ Miss Justice’ reported to the church Beklander Diocese, are quickly quelled, this is enough to show the power of the Beklander Diocese power, whether it’s a demigod, or sealing objects, necessarily are not in short supply …… Well, no matter what, first go back to Beklander, to see if there is a chance, compared to that, I prefer to I don’t want to go to the Hornachis Mountains ……”
Collecting his thoughts, Klein looked toward the radio receiver that had become dark and deep and said:
”Last night, who was that demigod aboard ‘Mad Captain’ Connors Victor’s ship?”
The clattering sound bounced lightly as the illusory white paper in front of it disappeared and a new one was spit out.
The white paper contained the same real scene:
Five candles emanated light and heat high and low from a beautifully crafted lamp stand made of brass, and a middle-aged man in a three-cornered hat and black eye patch stood in front of the cabinet that held the wine, champagne, and distilled spirits, looking humbly across the room.
Opposite him was a tall figure in a black cloak, his face completely hidden under the hood.
The figure appeared to have no real head, only a deep mass of twisted darkness set into the neck.
With the help of the portrait on the bounty order, Klein recognized the one-eyed man as “Mad Captain” Connors – his hair was loose and greasy, just covering his neck.
The opposite party should be the demigod, but he has deliberately disguised his appearance, and made the corresponding counter-divination, Aroldus can get this level of image is already quite remarkable …… Klein is not too disappointed, on the contrary, seriously memorized the figure of the figure:
1 meter 85 or more, but less than 190 …… The arms were slightly longer, and the hands almost reached the knee position when they were hanging down …… The shoulders were broad and thick, holding up the cloak …… The legs had a certain degree of external deviation ……
As an expert in the field of camouflage, Klein thought there was a good chance that a person who had covered up his appearance and performed a certain degree of counter-divination wouldn’t pay much attention to the disguise of his figure, especially since that itself wasn’t very unusual.
So, it would provide a certain clue that would help Klein feel familiar when he saw his target in the future!
”Very well, your turn to ask questions.” After remembering that, Klein stopped gawking and waited with interest for “Magic Mirror” Arodes to ask a question.
He was curious if the other party could still break through his imagination this time.
The sound of typing became a bit sluggish, revealing a bit of hesitation, and the illusory white paper was then spat out a bit:
”Great master, I, can I say a word to you?”
”Yes.” Klein answered the question with slight surprise, and looked up in anticipation of what Aroldus would say.
The sound of the da-da-da-da’s voice became faster all at once, and penetrated with obvious enthusiasm.
Lines of words appeared one after another on the illusory white paper:
”Happy birthday, great master!
”This is a belated blessing, your current body was born on March 4, 1327, I originally wanted to be the first to bless you in the early hours of that morning, but I wasn’t able to keep up with you.”
…… Sure enough, it’s a topic that breaks through my imagination …… I forgot about the birthday thing …… The corner of Klein’s mouth twitched slightly, not knowing what to say.
He had received fragments of the original owner’s memories and gained some of his emotions, and still knew about birthdays, only he was alone and drifting outside, how could he remember such things.
Arodes this thing is actually the first to wish me a happy birthday …… Benson, Melissa, they are on this day, more should be difficult to …… In February, the interviews are over, I do not know if Benson has successfully become a government employee …… Klein had a pang of emotion, and his eyes softened as he looked at the radio receiver.
He thought for a moment and spoke calmly:
”Third question, where you’re coming from.”
The clattering sound stopped for two seconds, then swirled back up.
The white paper spat out in one piece, and a new scene emerged from it:
A large amount of black viscous liquid gushed out from the hole in the ground, and they twisted and stretched outwards, sprouting different numbers of arms and legs and feet, which then turned into a strange monster that rushed forward.
In this process, a point of light accompanied by the black liquid was sprayed out, fell onto a stone, quickly combined with each other, diffracted into a silver mirror with an ancient pattern and black gemstone decorations on both sides.
What kind of strange scene is this …… This is how Arodes was born? And what is that point of light and where did it originate? A bit suspicious of extraordinary characteristics ah …… Klein initially interpreted the scene seen.
”Great master, do you have any other questions?”
Counting the time, Klein shook his head:
”None.”
”You have completed your answer, and it is time for me to leave, great master, Dominator above the spirit world, your humble and faithful servant Arodes looks forward to serving you again, and looks forward to following in your footsteps all the way, goodbye~” the illusory white paper finally presented a waving expression.
