Part 3 the traveler chapter 82 knowledge by man
As Klein’s spirit touched it, the expanding and contracting crimson “star” revealed the images and sounds it contained:
A dark-haired lady in classical robes fell to the floor, writhing in pain and contortion.
She was holding an ordinary-looking astrolabe in one hand and a short scepter less than an arm’s length in the other, and her strong will to live almost broke through the crimson star’s boundaries and reached Klein’s ears directly.
Like “Justice”, “Sun” and others, this lady’s figure is quite blurred, it is difficult to recognize the specific appearance, but there are some things that Klein can still see clearly, for example, she has five senses, for example, the muscles of her cheeks are cracking, and the flesh inside is condensing, as if turning into an eye. congealed as if it had transformed into eyeballs, for example, her ears were outstretched and expanded as if they were trumpets, for example, her fingers were clawing out stark, blood-colored traces on the floor, for example, above her were cold, unfeeling, eyelash-less, near-transparent eyes.
The brunette’s mutation didn’t stay severe; her body was tenaciously repairing itself, letting the eyeball-like flesh and blood melt away, letting the cracked muscles coagulate, and letting the outwardly extended ears retract inward …… Every detail of her body showed repeated tugs of war.
Those unreal transparent eyes without eyelashes put Klein in a trance, seeming to go back to Tingen, to the time when he first mastered psychic vision.
He had seen such a pair of eyes behind old Neil’s back then!
”The Hidden Sage?” Kraven leaned back in his chair and reached out, grasping the Scepter of Poseidon, which had once again flown out of the clutter.
He intended to do a favor and give those evil eyes a few lightning bolts.
But after careful discernment, he was keenly aware that the brunette’s abnormality stemmed from the insane ravings that no one else could hear, because the source of everything was in the ears, in the depths of the spiritual body, in the mental body!
It’s very similar to the situation when the “magician” lady suffered from the full-moon ravings …… Luckily, I’m an experienced person, or else I would have to make a wrong response …… Klein’s thoughts turned around, and he already had a way to save her. The way to save the person, that is to pull the other person’s spiritual body into the gray fog above, directly shielded from the crazy ravings, as long as there is no more power from the source, the mutation will be quickly resolved by the self-repairing instincts of the lady’s physical body.
As for the question of whether the other party was unworthy of rescuing, whether she harbored evil intentions, it no longer bothered him as much now as it had in the past.
If the dark-haired lady was guilty of something, Klein could always give her a few flashes of lightning to get her where she needed to go, given that she had already established a connection with the Crimson Star through the artifact and with the mysterious space above the gray mist.
Really have any bad intentions, or will cause any accidents, have “Neptune scepter”, “black emperor” card, and can initially pry the power of the gray fog, I am not without counterweight ……. Klein held the white bone scepter in his right hand, and remotely tapped the corresponding “star”.
His spirituality surged, pouring into the crimson light that flowed like water.
This time, he established a mysterious and solid connection with relative ease.
The figure of the dark-haired lady instantly appeared on the side of the bronze table, sitting on a chair that did not belong to the current members of the Tarot Society.
And Klein saw, through the final image of the crimson “star”, that the mutation of the other’s body had diminished significantly.
He nodded his head imperceptibly and waited patiently for the other woman to speak.
The dark-haired lady was still in a trance, one moment she was struggling with extreme pain, her eyes gradually darkening, and the next moment she was in a lofty palace with a high dome, and below her was a quiet gray fog with no end in sight, how could she not be stunned.
After a brief moment of silence, she looked over at the figure sitting leisurely at the uppermost head of the long mottled table and asked in a fluttering tone:
”Is this the Underworld?”
”You are not dead.” Klein let out a laugh.
At this time, he saw the starburst-stained symbols behind the black-haired lady’s high-backed chair move rapidly, forming a pair of cold, indifferent, eyelashless eyes containing countless bright stars.
Based on past experience, he thought this was the symbol that represented the path of the “Secret Spy”.
The brunette was stunned for a moment and gradually regained her senses.
Instinctively, she looked around the room silently, and finally set her eyes on the mysterious man shrouded in gray mist.
White shirt, tuxedo formal dress, untied bow tie, black pants, brand new shiny leather boots, hair color is dark, looks blurred, there is no oddity …… in his hand very casually holding a milky white scepter slightly longer than his arm, the scepter …… black-haired lady’s pupils contracted for a moment. The depths of the eyes reflect the greenish-blue “jewel” and it almost stirred the surrounding sea and storm atmosphere, in addition, it is surrounded by uncountable points of light naturally give a person a sense of divine majesty.
This is a demigod level scepter! In his hands it was like a toy …… He didn’t care about it at all …… The black haired lady narrowed her eyes slightly and asked cautiously:
”How should I address you?”
”You can call me Mr. ‘Fool’.” Klein replied skillfully.
The Fool …… dark-haired lady chewed on the word and deliberated:
”I’ve heard your honorable name from Mr. Z of the ‘Aurora Society’.”
She waited for an admission or denial.
Knowing Mr. Z of the ‘Aurora Society’ …… this is considered an old friend …… Klein smiled without replying and turned to say:
”Aren’t you going to introduce yourself?
”That should be the most basic etiquette.”
The dark-haired lady then recalled what she had just encountered and fell silent once again.
After a few seconds, she spoke in a slightly hushed voice:
”My name is Gadelia, and I have the nickname ‘General Above the Stars.
”Mr. ‘Fool’, were you the one who saved me?”
”Admiral of the Stars”? One of the seven pirate generals, ‘General Hoshinou’, with a bounty of 37,000 pounds? I saved a treasure, no, a person with a low status ah …… Klein was half amazed, half flirting slightly changed his sitting position.
He laughed softly and replied:
”Isn’t the truth obvious?”
”General above the stars,” Gadelia said, rising instantly:
”Thank you for your rescue, anything you need me to do, you can just order, as long as it is within my ability and does not violate my principles.”
Quite good at doing people well …… very sophisticated and experienced …… worthy of the reputation spread for many years “star on the general”…… Klein inexplicably actually some feelings.
His Tarot Club members, with the exception of the “upside down man” and his own incarnation of the “world”, were quite green when they first got involved:
Ms. “Justice” belonged to the category of those who vaguely understood the mysterious world, but had not yet truly entered it; “Sun” was “educated” enough, but in a closed environment, younger, and appeared to be very simple. The “Magician” has become an extraordinary person for several years, but has been stuck in the sequence of 9, in a wild state, on all kinds of hidden forces do not know much, and experience is not enough, “Moon” Emlin originated from a transcendent race, backed by a deep-rooted power, the “Moon” is not a good person, but a good person. “Moon” Emlin comes from a transcendent race, backed by a profound power, but because he doesn’t like to go out, he likes to stay at home and play with dolls, he is very inexperienced in certain aspects, and he can easily be cheated.
Emlin that guy, smart is smart, but is, oh, if he met Tris, no, Tris Chick this witch, can be cheated by the other side to sell dolls …… Klein in his heart flirted with the vampire in the real world can be counted as a friend of the Mr. vampire.
He looked at the “star above the general”, did not directly respond to how to repay the gift of life-saving things, smiled and asked:
”Are you a member of the Moss Ascetic Order?”
”Uh-huh.” Gadelia didn’t think that this matter could be hidden from Mr. “Fool”.
Klein smiled and said:
”What did you just do to mess with that guy?”
He wasn’t sure that those eyes belonged to the “Hidden Sage”, so he replaced them with the vague “that guy”, so that no matter what, Mr. Fool was absolutely correct and had a bit of character. In any case, Mr. “Fool” is absolutely correct and qualified.
Gauderia said after a moment of silence:
”No, I didn’t mess with K.”
She paused and continued:
”The members of the Moss Ascetics all believe that everything is numbered, and chase after knowledge itself.
”But Rossel the Great once said that it is not we who are chasing knowledge, but knowledge that is chasing us, the ‘Hidden Sage’ is knowledge itself, k is chasing us, chasing every member of the Moss Ascetic Order, and when a lot of knowledge is poured in but cannot be digested and grasped quickly enough, then it will be a situation that has just occurred situation, either letting go of the mind’s defenses and accepting the ‘Hidden Sage’s’ transformation, or supporting it with perseverance, and if they can’t hold on, they’ll lose control.”
”In that case, you weren’t specifically targeted by the ‘Hidden Sage’, and even if you managed to get out of the predicament just now, you wouldn’t be suspected of anything. …… According to you, you’ve acquired quite a bit of knowledge… …In the beginning, the old Neil only wanted to obtain the knowledge of human refining and perfect resurrection,…… Klein suddenly had a sigh of relief, but did not show it on his face.
”Star on top of the general” is not a bad reputation, belong to the kind of theft also have a way …… Klein collected thoughts, calmly said:
”When you encounter similar things again, you can recite my name.”
Recite your name …… Gadelia s lips opened and closed a few times, instinctively wanting to refuse.
She ultimately did not open her mouth and remained silent for a while.
After repeated deliberation and repeated weighing, she stood up, crossed her arms in front of her chest, and bowed slightly, saying:
”What can I do for you?”
Klein let out a laugh and said in a tone of little concern:
”Some future assistance for my favorites.”
”At your service.” Gadelia resumed her seat and asked discreetly, “The honorific name that Mr. Z provided belongs to you?”
She then repeated the honorific name of “The Fool”.
Klein nodded gently, indicating that was correct.
Gadelia glanced at the other empty seats and asked with deliberation:
”Dear Mr. ‘Fool’, is there anyone else here?”
Klein smiled:
”Some people similar to you.
”They have established a regular congregation, of which I am a witness.”
Gadelia said after a full ten seconds of silence:
”May I attend?”
She figured that since she was associated with the mysterious existence of the Fool, it was better to learn more than to do nothing.
Of course, you have the money, the knowledge, the power, and the need …… Klein leaned back in his chair leisurely:
”Can.
”Without my permission, can not be leaked out.”
”Good!” Without hesitation, Gadelia responded.
Klein tapped the index finger of his left hand, causing the remaining tarot decks to materialize on the long bronze table top:
”They use tarot cards as code names, here are the rest.
”You pick one.”
Gadelia scanned it and said bluntly:
”The Hidden One.”
