Part 4 The Undead Chapter 147 Dual Purpose
Hearing Marich’s words, Klein picked up the paper depicting the spell for summoning Aroldus and casually shook it a little while he collected his laughter and said in a rather serious manner:
”Tell me the detailed process of making pharaoh mummies in the ancient Highland Kingdom.”
As he spoke, the paper had already snapped, colored with crimson flames, and turned into bits of flying ash that floated down.
Marich glanced at Sharon and replied thoughtfully:
”Step one, leave it for three to five days, utilizing certain aids to allow the extraordinary properties to naturally precipitate out without combining with any part of the pharaoh’s body to form a seal;
”The second step, hold a ‘cleansing ceremony,’ put the body into the altar, and pray to the ‘bound god,’ hoping that the spirit of the deceased will remain half in the body for a long time, which will not affect the return of the son of God, but will also allow the mummy made to maintain the spirit for a long time;
”Step three, relying on extraordinary abilities and realistic technology, remove the brain, internal organs and bodily fluids from the corpse, retaining only the heart;
”Step four, fill the inside of the body with spices and medicines that possess spiritual properties and do a complete dehydration process ……
”Step five, refill the previous spices and medicines, do some ritualized arrangements on the surface of the corpse, then wrap it in linen bandages and place it in the casket.
”In the sixth step, the removed viscera are processed in a similar manner to the fourth step, and placed in each of the four corners of the casket as ceremonial materials, and the same is done with the brain and body fluids, the former being pounded into a slurry, which is mixed with the latter, and circulated in the channels reserved within the casket to mimic the state of the departed person during his or her life. …… This draws spiritual energy from the Spirit world to draw in and gather spirituality from the surrounding area, making the pharaoh’s mummies, even after thousands of years of interment, extremely spiritual material, capable of making quite powerful living corpses ……”
Doesn’t sound like it has anything to do with enhancing that aspect of the ability ah, I also don’t know how the pharmacist is going to turn decay into magic, hmmm, and Earth’s Egyptian mummy making process is similar yet different, the occult meaning is even stronger …… Klein listened intently, and flew to analyze whether there is something in here that can be a part of the plan.
No matter what, the Tutansis II mummy is an extremely valuable thing to study, and no one is willing to destroy it until there’s no other way …… Klein pondered for a while, and turned to Sharon, who had resumed her seat on the high stool, and asked with a serious expression:
”What is the furthest effective distance of your ‘Mirror Flash’?”
Sharon sat upright and answered without an interval:
”300 meters.”
This is far enough, much more powerful than my “Flame Jump”, but this is normal, after all, the main characteristic of “Grievous Souls” is to come and go without a trace, while “Flame Jump” is just a “magic” performance. The “flame jump” is just a means of performing “magic”…… Well, this is not bad, it can be utilized …… Klein couldn’t help but feel a few words in his heart.
–Though he once had a “Grieving Soul” secret puppet, he didn’t know the limit of “Mirror Flash”, because even if it’s not the limit, it will be out of his control range, and once it’s out of his control range, the secret puppet will be dead, and the flash is just a means of performing “magic”. Once it is out of his control, the puppet will be dead, and the flash will fail halfway.
Klein asked two or three more things, gradually had a plan in mind, looked at Sharon and Maric respectively, said in a calm tone:
”We still have the chance to take away the mummy of Tutansis II, which does have a certain risk, but it won’t be big.
”Well, the prerequisite is that you have to listen to my arrangements and let me take the lead in this operation, of course, as long as you don’t think it’s suitable, you can interrupt and choose to return at any time, this is your freedom, just remember to pay me.”
In the past, Mariqi must have refused without even thinking about it, he and Sharon in the Middle Sequence of Extraordinary People, both of them claimed to have good experience and strength, how could they listen to the arrangements of a newcomer who had once sought the protection of both of them, but the last time they worked together, the wisdom, resilience, and exotic items possessed by Sharlocke Moriarty showed, made Mariqi deeply impressed, and unconsciously put the other party on an equal footing, and waited until the The news of Germaine Sparrow kept reaching Bakerland, and while he was stunned, he thought all the more that this should be considered one of the strongest people below the High Sequence, which in the occult, in the field of extraordinary combat, belonged to the authority.
In the occult, in the field of extraordinary combat, this was authority, and since it was authority, it should be obeyed!
He can also “teleport”…… Maric recalled Sherlock Moriarty’s appearance just now, inexplicably felt that the other party has a strong self-confidence, and may really be able to find a chance to succeed.
He turned his head sideways and locked eyes with Sharon.
Both of them nodded at the same time.
”Good.” Sharon gave a response, not seeing the slightest hesitation in her azure eyes.
Klein instantly revealed a smile:
”I’ll tell you guys exactly how to do it in conjunction with the scene.”
Just now, he deliberately appeared in a “traveling” manner to provide a “hidden presence” for obtaining information, in addition to factors such as making it easier to explain the problem and understand the situation more accurately, there was also the intention of establishing an image, raising the level, and grasping the dominant power.
As a “Master of Secret Puppets”, even if there are no secret puppets for the time being, he still has to manipulate others to fulfill the set performance!
For Klein, this action is on the one hand a favor to Sharon and Maric, on the other hand, he hopes to use the grand scene and his own dominant “puppet show” to further and more quickly digest the magic potion.
It must be said that the oppressive experience brought about by Amon’s presence in Beckland and his recent contact with a large number of spectators allowed Klein, who happened to be without a secret puppet, to gain a deeper understanding of one of the rules of the “Master of Puppetry” summarized earlier – to use his own puppet as a guide to manipulate the enemy and to perform a puppet show in reality. Manipulate the enemy and perform puppet shows in reality.
His current thinking is:
Even without a secret puppet, he could still manipulate the target object through aura, language, scenario design, or a certain degree of coordination, and put on a puppet show in reality.
The “Master of Secret Puppets” can manipulate more than just the “strings of the spirit body”!
And just now was Klein’s small attempt.
Just like Amon, with just a simple appearance, he seems to be dominating a lot of things, making Palles Zoroaster and I seem to be waiting for the baton of K. …… In the midst of Klein’s silent exclamation, he heard Sharon and Maric respond at the same time:
”Good.”
……
At night in Prize Harbor, there was an elegant gas street lamp made of black metal, which emitted light and illuminated the various roads.
At this time, the vast majority of ships had already entered the harbor, and silence was the main theme here.
On the top floor of a warehouse, surrounded by a number of wooden crates, three silhouettes were suddenly outlined from the void, namely, Sherlock Moriarty in formal attire wearing a bowler hat, Maric with a white shirt and a black vest, and Sharon with a black fedora and a long court dress that remained unchanged.
With the help of “teleportation”, they arrived here directly from Birkeland, which is quite a distance from the port where the ship carrying the mummy of Tutansis II was scheduled to dock.
With a brace of his right hand and the soles of his feet on the wooden pillars, Klein lightly leapt onto the transverse logs, and as if he were walking on level ground, he quickly reached the position of the wall.
There was a not-so-small vent here.
He then took out the binoculars provided by Ms. Sharon and looked at the pier described in the intelligence.
The tops of the various buildings there had been occupied by soldiers carrying steam backpacks with thick-barreled rifles in their hands, patrolling back and forth, guarding their surroundings, ready to shoot at any unauthorized person who dared to approach with only one warning.
In addition to these, there were several exaggerated machine monsters parked around the docks, made of metal all over and exceeding the height of giants, the uppermost of which had a top that could be rotated, water-cooled machine guns, and chimneys running vertically upwards, and the lower part was grayish-white, with rivets, nuts, and cogs exposed in a number of places, and had a very rugged look to it.
Also, the machine had a very thick gun barrel at the front and two rows of metal wheels wrapped in rubber tracks at the bottom.
There was obviously someone inside them, but Klein couldn’t see exactly who it was, and couldn’t confirm if there were any Extraordinary Ones.
Near these steel monsters, above the docks, a deep black metal tower a dozen meters high was erected, with a complex but seemingly unrefined system of pulleys, dropping steel cables and hooks downwards.
On the surface it looked like a military operation at a level not too low but not too high …… Klein withdrew his gaze and tossed the binoculars to Maric, who had leaned in close to observe the scene one more time.
–Before the official action, they all had a consensus that they would try not to use their extraordinary abilities and rely on non-occult creations to spy on the target, so as not to cause alarm, after all, there were likely to be demigods lurking in that dock area.
Of course, Klein also adjusted the ability recorded in the “Creeping Hunger” to “Paper Angel” with “Tornado” instead of “Lightning Storm”. The “Lightning Storm”.
Once Sharon had also understood the scene, Klein, who had taken refuge on a side wooden frame, said with a seemingly relaxed smile:
”We have only one purpose today, and that is to try only if we have the chance, if not, we would rather watch from the sidelines or even leave early.
”No problem, right?”
”No.” Sharon replied calmly, while Maric expressed the same with a shake of her head.
Klein nodded and looked at Marich:
”How many mirrors did you bring?”
”Nine.” Marich showed each one in readiness, then pointed to his own eyes and said, “It counts.”
”Good.” Klein pointed in a direction, “When I tell you to leave, run outside of Pritz Harbor, dropping these mirrors one by one along the way.”
Maric opened his mouth as if to ask why, but soon realized roughly what Sherlock Moriarty intended and nodded seriously:
”I’ll do as you say.”
Klein smiled and reached out his hand, condensing it in mid-air:
”Good cooperation.”
Maric hesitated for a second, and similarly extended his right hand, high-fiving the other party.
The tightness inside him inexplicably eased quite a bit after making this gesture.
Klein turned to look at Ms. Sharon, pulled out an iron cigarette case, and handed it to the other party, saying:
”You take it and fly toward the lighthouse when you get my cue.
”Then, on the silent count of three, disarm the ‘spiritual wall’ above it.
”During this process, as well as after it is completed, the flight must not stop, and be as irregular as possible, by any means whatsoever.
”Wait until you see that special firework I sent out, and immediately isolate this cigarette-box with the ‘Wall of Spirituality,’ and ‘mirror-flash’ it in the direction of Marich, to the best of your ability.
”After you rendezvous, flee all the way, don’t wait for me, I’ll ‘teleport’ over.”
One of the central elements of his plan of action for the night was the Aztec copper whistle!
Stealing the Tutansis II mummy is difficult, but I can make it come running on its own!
