Part 4 The Undead Chapter 148 The Silent One

　　After listening to Sherlock Moriarty’s arrangement, Sharon didn’t say anything but just nodded her head lightly in recognition.

　　Klein then took out a gray-iron colored metal mask and put it on his face, with only his eyes and nostrils exposed.

　　Likewise, Sharon and Marich each put on similar masks.

　　However, their purposes for doing so were different: “Spiteful Soul” and “Living Corpse” purely didn’t want to reveal their true appearance, lest they would be locked up by the Ruen military afterwards, and could no longer move around in Beckland, while “Faceless Man” wore a mask for the sake of wearing a mask. The “Faceless Man” is using the act of wearing a mask to cover up his ability to change his appearance and mislead the Ruen military and the Rose School’s subsequent investigation. After all, according to normal logic, since your face is fake and not your own, why would you need to wear a mask?

　　After waiting for a while longer, the sound of a whimper sounded low as a ship entered the harbor in the darkness.

　　Klein returned to the vent, lifted the monocular, and redirected his gaze to the same dock that was under martial law.

　　He then saw a hybrid vessel with smokestacks and sails docking steadily, little by little, from fast to slow, while at the same time two squads of red-shirted, white-pantied soldiers with rifles ran past, neatly dividing themselves on either side of the road.

　　It was not long before the hanging ladders were lowered, and men began to land on the ship.

　　At first it was sailors carrying a single wooden box, then a young man in a major’s uniform, holding a box made of crystal with a stony expression, surrounded by several crew members.

　　Those crew members were carrying horse lanterns, letting the light reach the box from all angles, illuminating the surface and revealing what was inside.

　　It was a human skull without the slightest remnant of flesh or blood, and it flowed with a strange color in the light!

　　The group moved rather slowly, seemingly keeping a watchful eye on the angle at which the horse lamps shone at all times, leaving no gaps.

　　By the time they had disembarked and were walking along the road toward the nearest freight railroad track, toward the huge serpent-like steam train that waited there, another man in black formal attire emerged from the hatch at the back.

　　He was carrying a huge iron bucket, vaguely visible from the slanting top, filled with layers of ice.

　　For a second, Klein almost thought that a bottle of wine would be placed inside these ice cubes, like what was done in high society and expensive restaurants, but he quickly saw what was inserted into the ice cubes:

　　It was a hand made purely of gold!

　　Unlike the group before him, the man holding the iron bucket was moving at a rapid pace, sweat constantly dripping from his forehead, and the metal surface pressed by his hand was clouded with a mist of water.

　　He seemed to be worried that the ice would have all melted before he reached his destination.

　　The military has plundered a lot of seals this time in places like the Star Plateau, the Pas River Valley, and the Hagati Grasslands ah …… Klein sighed heartily and waited patiently for Tutansis II’s coffin.

　　Another ten minutes passed, and located in the distance, he, Sharon, and Marich heard heavy footsteps at the same time.

　　It was like a giant walking on the cavernous deck below.

　　Immediately after that, the door on the side of the cabin opened, and four “knights” wearing black full body armor carried a golden coffin, and walked out step by step, stepping on the sound of echoing thuds and creaking sounds.

　　The surface of the coffin is engraved with strange birds, snakes, feathers, masks and other patterns, looks ancient and mysterious, has a strong style of the ancient Highland Kingdom, it is Tutansis II mummy’s “bed”!

　　With the sound of chains turning and metal rubbing together, the deep black metal tower slowly turned its body, hanging down the steel cables and hooks, which were wrapped around the four corners of Tutansis II’s coffin.

　　Then the complex pulley system began to operate, and the heavy coffin was steadily lifted and moved towards a roofless carriage on the outside of the pier.

　　The four “knights” in black full body armor were relieved of their pressure and sat down on the deck, breathing heavily at the same time.

　　In the midst of the hullabaloo, one of the “knights” suddenly gave a muffled grunt.

　　In the cracks of his armor, dark red blood flowed out, more and more, more and more obvious, and in the end, even a tiny, hard black beetle appeared inside.

　　Clang!

　　The “knight” fell backward and dropped his helmet, revealing a head with empty eye sockets and hanging strips of flesh, where countless black beetles were burrowing in and out.

　　Curse …… Tutansis II mummy is the embodiment of the curse …… Even wearing the armor with the blessing imposed, it seems that the end of the curse can not be completely avoided …… Klein silent Sighing, he shifted his gaze to the golden coffin that was slowly falling onto the carriage.

　　The carriage on the outside of the pier had no horses and was surrounded by four “knights” that looked exactly the same as earlier.

　　As the coffin fell, they leaned over and prepared to pull the wagon.

　　At that moment, the wheels of the carriage suddenly turned, maintained its balance on its own, and began to run to the side!

　　At this moment, it seemed to come to life!

　　Klein’s spirit tightened and looked out with more concentration.

　　Snap, snap, snap, the wheels rotated at a high speed, constantly bumping against the stones, wooden blocks and steps on the unnatural road, and the horse-less carriage held the golden coffin and ran on its own in the empty part of the pier.

　　The scene looked like one described in a ghost story.

　　Near the wharf, a steel monster with chimneys, gun barrels, and machine guns turned its direction, and a low voice penetrated unimpeded from within:

　　”Attachments are prohibited at this location.”

　　Just after this sentence ended, the carriage that was running wildly on its own abruptly lost its momentum, and after dragging out two long tracks, it came to a peaceful stop.

　　At the same time, a figure protruded in mid-air, clad in white robes inlaid with gold threads, his hair was yellowish and slightly curly, his eye sockets were obviously sunken, and his face was thin and bony.

　　This was a middle-aged man who had the sense of a hybrid of the northern and southern continents, his brown eyes were of suppressed malice and madness, and his thicker lips had a single golden nail covered with a fine pattern, sealing the entire mouth, giving people a feeling that was both sinister and terrifying.

　　Based on the features described by Miss Sharon and Maric and the portrait given, Klein instantly recognized that this was an important member of the Rose School, one of the leaders of the Highland Resistance, McHarms, nicknamed “The Silent One”.

　　As soon as he appeared, McHarmless set his eyes on the steel monster with the “decree” and paid no attention to the coffin of Tutanks II resting on the wagon diagonally below.

　　It seemed that his attempt was only to confirm the location of the demigods of the Rune army!

　　Too late, Mehames raised his right hand and pulled it around his mouth.

　　The golden nail that had penetrated the upper and lower lips simultaneously popped out, no longer closing the mouth.

　　McHarms opened his mouth with it.

　　Without hearing a sound or seeing any brilliance, Klein noticed that the huge steam chariot melted and twisted, and in just the blink of an eye, it turned into a sheep.

　　A sheep with dull eyes and disheveled fur!

　　With a poof, blood spurted out from the sheep’s belly position, and a lump of flesh rolled out, studded with white gloves and a golden mask.

　　A ray of light suddenly erupted from within that lump of flesh, cutting through all the chaos and evil, and the writhing flesh and blood began to reassemble itself into a humanoid form, returning to its original appearance:

　　A man with black hair and blonde eyes wearing a mask.

　　At that moment, “Silent One” McHummons held his palm upwards, and all the guns and cannons aimed at him about to fire lifted up and hit empty space.

　　Then he took out a rag doll.

　　The doll appeared to be made of old cloth, stained with obvious stains and blood spots, and its eyes had been gouged out by whoever had left two empty holes.

　　As soon as it saw the light, its face began to change, referencing the demigod of the Rune military, the man in the gold mask that its eye holes were aimed at!

　　Seeing this, that Demigod of the Ruun Military immediately let the ring he wore in his right hand burst into a crystal-like light, and his entire body abruptly disappeared from its original position, flashing to the back of McHumans.

　　However, the ragdoll’s changes didn’t stop.

　　At the same time, on the side of Tutansis II’s golden coffin, the void floated in obscurity, outlining a dozen-meter-long translucent mouth.

　　The mouth opened violently and sucked inward, creating a terrifying gale that swept up the coffin and carriage together.

　　This was suspected to be a spirit world creature!

　　It was going to swallow the coffin of Tutansis II’s mummy!

　　In a flash, the bullets and cannonballs that had just been shot empty were simultaneously tinted with a brilliant light, and they converged together, transforming into a hallowed ocean of light that drowned everything around them.

　　Klein’s eyes stung for a moment, and even if he had closed them in time, he shed some tears.

　　After two seconds, he reopened his eyes and saw that the spirit world creature that only had a giant mouth a moment ago had disappeared, the golden coffin of Tutansis II was still quietly placed on the parked carriage, and the figure of Mehames flashed to another direction of the pier with the help of a metal surface, the dirty rag doll in his hand resumed its original appearance, and the masked golden-eyed man, with the help of a short distance ” Teleportation”, in hot pursuit.

　　And where the two were originally located, a female figure wearing a black evening gown outlined, she also wore a golden mask, and on top of her head was a crown woven of thorns.

　　Above the crown, pure light flowed rapidly, constantly converging inward to form an “ocean”, but it seemed to be in a period of dimming at the moment.

　　Just then, Klein saw a hand, a black gloved hand.

　　Hidden in the shadows, it grabbed the coffin where the mummy of Tutansis II was.

　　The casket disappeared in an instant, flashing in front of the palm of that hand!

　　The Rosicrucian school came not one demigod, but two, and seems to have brought with them the seal of the “Stealer” pathway!

　　Seeing this, Klein immediately turned his head sideways and said to Marich:

　　”Run!”

　　Maric, who had been waiting for the order, sprang up, rushed out of the warehouse, and ran wildly towards the outside of the dock.

　　Klein then turned and said to Sharon on the other side:

　　”Start!”

　　Sharon also didn’t hesitate, and took the iron cigarette case, and flew towards the lighthouse, as a “ghost”, the walls and obstacles along the way didn’t seem to exist.

　　Her and Maric’s movements may have been noticed, but because they were far away from the pier, far away from the battlefield, no one paid attention, no one cared.

　　Quickly withdrawing his gaze, Klein held out his left palm so that it was aligned with the vent, with the location of the golden casket of Tutansis II.

　　Less than a second later, a transparent and fuzzy tome coalesced in front of him, and a long, ethereal chant rang in his ears:

　　”I come, I see, I record.”

　　The booklet flipped with a brush and settled on one of the pages.

　　”Tornado.”

　　This was an extraordinary ability at the Demigod level with a great range of effects!
