Part 3 The Traveler Chapter 249 The Harvest
An illusory black thread extended out from Seniole’s body, and threw itself into Kline’s palms, reacting differently with each jump of the spirit.
In fact, manipulating the “threads of the spirit body” didn’t necessarily require both hands, but Klein was accustomed to doing so, which gave him the feeling that he was actually controlling the secret puppet.
”Judging from the current situation, the peers are able to spot each other’s puppets, and the anomalies on the Spirit Body Strings can’t be hidden from their eyes, so we must be cautious enough in this regard.” Klein summarized the initial findings and quickly turned his thoughts back to Seignior himself.
This “General of Blood” was equivalent to being dead, and his spirit body had become an accessory to the golem, losing its own specialties, so many divination methods were no longer effective on him.
Of course, the method of searching for the type of body is still useful, Klein intends to first let this “ghost” through the gray fog “decontamination”, and then use the “paper angel” wrapped in the class of his possession, and finally put it into the mirror thing. Mirror-like things, and finally put into the iron cigarette case blocked by the wall of spirituality, and Aztec copper whistle to stay together, to do triple interference.
In this way, Klein believes that the Rose School angels want to use the “blood above the generals” through divination, prophecy and other methods to lock their own position, it is nearly impossible.
As for whether the “Mother Tree of Desire” had left any “backdoor” in Seignior’s body, he wasn’t too worried because if the “Mother Tree of Desire” was really in the “General on the Blood”, it would be impossible for him to locate himself through divination and prophecy. If the “Mother Tree of Desire” had really moved on the “General above the Blood”, during the chaotic battle of the demigods before, K could have let Seniol suddenly change and deal with himself, and judging by the situation at that time, it would have definitely succeeded.
”‘Mother Tree of Desire’ or ‘God of the Bound”s tight control over the people of this organization relies on methods such as oath contracts that penetrate deep into the soul, this can be deduced from Sharon-sama’s descriptions, status, and my own experience after coming into contact with the corresponding This can be inferred from Ms. Sharon’s description, her state, and my own experience after coming into contact with the corresponding characteristics. ……
”As long as I don’t try to divine the secrets of the Rose School and the magic potion recipes of the ‘Fae’ pathway with the help of the ‘General above the Blood’, I won’t trigger the problem, and that ‘Werewolf’ from before ‘ extraordinary characteristics placed on top of the gray mist for so long, it’s also normal ……
”Moreover, there will be a grey mist ‘sterilization’ process later, so if there really is any latent problem, it will also be cleaned out …… “Klein thought for a while, and took the Aztec Copper Whistle out of his body out.
He flicked his right hand around so that the less patterned part of the whistle was exposed to the sunlight, reflecting the light like a mirror.
On the copper whistle, the figure of Seniole appeared and became clearer.
The “General of Blood” in front of Klein suddenly disappeared.
”Maybe the ‘Mother Tree of Desire’ can still be vaguely localized through oath contracts and the like, but it doesn’t matter much, anyway, k can all detect the grey mist trait on my body, and sense me within a certain range …… Moreover, such a puppet Might be destroyed by me using it as a shield at some point …… “Klein was like a hobo who owed a lot of debt and felt he had nothing to fear anymore.
Of course, he did owe a lot of debts.
As long as one is promoted to a demigod and can hide the traits, the golem can be lost when he says so …… Klein looked around, bent down and picked up the silver necklace, took four steps against the grain, and recited the incantation in a low voice.
–This time he didn’t use the method of summoning spirits to enter, so he couldn’t return directly.
The gray mist filled the room quickly, hysterical murmuring and hissing echoed eternally, and the Aztec bronze whistle in Klein’s hand did not change, which meant that there was no major problem lurking within the “General of the Blood”.
After sitting at the top of the bronze table, Klein put the Aztec whistle in front of him, and let Seniol in a dark red coat and an old three-cornered hat appear at his side, like a butler waiting for his master’s order.
”What other items do you have on you?” Klein inquired, as if the “General of Blood” was still alive.
He was trying to play the role of the “Master of Secret Puppets”!
He then maneuvered Seignior into rummaging through every pocket on his person, and pulled out 325 pounds, 16 thou and 8 pence in cash, including thirteen gold coins.
Apart from these, perhaps because of the need to transform into the “ghost” form from time to time, Seignior did not carry more items.
”How poor ah …… a pirate general, but only one magical item? Is this handed over to the Rose School and distributed to the pirates under his command?” Klein seriously considered the question of whether or not to realize the “General above Blood” through the black market channels.
He was worth 42,000 pounds in Rune alone!
”Well, it’s impractical to collect a reward from Rune, both the Storm Church, and the Kingdom’s military, would be happy to follow this lead to capture Germaine Sparrow, who has caused multiple demigods to mix it up, and to investigate that organization behind him, and wouldn’t pay at all, and it would be a trap to do so ……
”By the same token, the churches and governments of other countries are sure to have similar ideas, except that the attitude might be a little better, and going to collect the bounty requires a considerable risk ……
”And there’s no rush, I’ll send Seniol out when I want to replace the puppet, it’s not like being a secret puppet for a few days is going to affect his status or value anyway …… “Klein retracted his thoughts, and cast his gaze to the silver necklace dangling an ancient coin-like pendant.
He whirled around and utilized divination to roughly grasp the necklace’s origin and function:
It originated from a Sequence 5 “winner” of the School of Life. After this gentleman died at the hands of a demigod of the Rose School, his extraordinary characteristics and spirit combined with an ordinary silver necklace he was carrying to form a magical item.
The original reason why that ordinary silver necklace was carried by a Sequence 5 powerhouse was because it was too long in the past, and things were contaminated, so Klein couldn’t get an effective revelation.
This magical item had two effects, one was to passively make the wearer lucky: in everyday life, good things would happen to the necklace’s owner from time to time and he would easily succeed in everything he did, and in the case of fatal strikes and horrible catastrophes, dramatic scenes appeared to allow him to be successfully saved, the latter only lasting for ten minutes.
Secondly, it actively grants bad luck to the enemy, making the target unlucky and prone to failures due to minor problems, both in life and in battle.
The corresponding negative effect of the necklace is “Luck Conservation”, where luck is immediately followed by bad luck, and how lucky you were before is how unlucky you will be next, which requires the owner to concentrate and avoid very carefully, or else you can easily die in a funny way, even involving the people around you.
Luck gained in daily life tends to reverse after a month, and the user becomes unlucky whether they wear it or not, however, this kind of bad luck is released in a soothing way, and the level of danger is not high.
Whereas luck gained in battle would backfire ten minutes later in an equally intense manner.
”Overall, it’s a pretty good magical item, but it’s not too useful to me, after all, not even ‘Councilor of Fate’ Rychod can change my luck …… Well, wear it with you for now, it has almost no Negative impact, sell it when you have the chance, pay back the debt of Miss Messenger …… Miss Messenger wants gold coins, while I own gold pounds, want to exchange to 10,000 gold coins through the bank and the regular market, it is almost impossible, it seems, have to be divided into batches and divided into people, so that each member of the Tarot Club will be responsible for a portion each …… “Klein quickly finalized the plan and very casually named the necklace:
”Lucky Scales”!
Then, he once again turned his attention to the “General of Blood” Seignior, who was respectfully standing next to him, and carefully studied what abilities the Grievous Spirit possessed.
Forced possession, control of the enemy, ghost whistling, mirror flash, penetrate barriers, death spells, will not be detected by the vast majority of the middle and low sequence of the “invisibility”…… Klein identified one by one, and compared with Sharon and Maric’s account, as well as his own experience in the battle! He quickly finished it all, fearing for his life.
He ended this quickly, fearing that the candles in the real world had burned out, and the cave with little light was very unfriendly to his current fear of the dark.
Kraven immediately pulled a paper figure from the clutter, and with the “Black Emperor” card, combined it with some of the power of the gray mist, and transformed it into an anti-divination “angel”.
The angel quickly spread its wings and held a gold coin, the reflection of which had the figure of Seignior in it.
Then, Klein got the gold coin, Aztec copper whistle, “Deathstroke” revolver, luggage and other items back to the real world, as for the “Creeping Hunger” and “Grocer’s Travels”, one of them is because there is no food for the time being, and the other one is because it has been carried for too long, so it may take Klein’s body at any time. As for the “Creeping Hunger” and “Grosser’s Travels”, one of them had no food for a while, and the other had been carried for too long, so it might have swallowed Klein’s body into the book at some point, and was left in the pile of clutter above the gray mist.
Back in the cave, Klein busily put the gold coin and the Aztec copper whistle into the iron cigarette case, and completed the blockade with the “Spiritual Wall”.
He cleaned up the scene, changed into formal attire, and, with his suitcase in hand, went along the beach to find an inhabited place, and found himself in the vicinity of Pritzker Harbor.
Instead of going back to Birkeland, he changed his appearance and took a steam train to Connaught, on Dixie Bay, from where he was going to make a loop and change his identity.
……
Banshee Harbor.
Alger Wilson looked out over the devastated city in the afternoon sun.
He saw houses all collapsed, deep gully after deep gully in the ground, and scorched black marks everywhere.
Such scenes continued deep into the island, and even mountains collapsed.
At this time, there were no people from the Storm Church guarding the ruins, because there was nothing here, and the plan to rebuild the harbor was far from being on the agenda.
Alger jumped off the “Blue Avenger”, and together with the sailors, they looked around the ruins, but failed to find anything of value.
”Let’s go.” He commanded stoically.
They quickly boarded the ship and set sail away from the island.
After an unknown amount of time, a figure suddenly stepped out from the depths of the ruins.
He wore double-breasted, pure black clergy robes, his hair was dark blonde, and his features were like classical sculptures without a single wrinkle.
One of his pupils was deep blue and nearly black, while the other appeared to be dull and lightless, but was crawling with dense and tiny veins.
