Part 4 The Undead Chapter 153 Two Letters
Hearing Klein’s words, one of the four blonde, red-eyed heads that Renette Tinicol was carrying immediately spoke up:
”Okay. ……”
It opened its mouth and instantly sucked back the vast majority of the gold coins, loading them somewhere.
Looking at the remaining dozens of shiny gold coins, Klein reached out and took the envelope of considerable thickness, quickly opened it, skimmed through the beginning, and found that it was indeed the details of the “Spirit World Marauder”.
Waiting for the messenger lady to return to the spirit world, he put away the gold coins, pulled open the curtains, sat down, and in the early morning sunshine, carefully read the content of the beautiful handwriting:
”Thanks again for your help.
”The mummy of Tutansis II was an integral part of my promotion ceremony, and has a great significance for me.
”‘Spirit world predators’ live in the depths of the spirit world, are scarce in number, intelligent, highly aggressive, and can transform captured or killed creatures into their own bilocations, which can change into the likeness of their true souls, possessing similar manifestations and specialties, and can also disguise themselves as other spirit world creatures, and when encountering them, perhaps all the spirit world creatures around them are them, all transformed into their split souls, and one should never be careless.
”Such creatures can effectively affect their prey’s ability to think, causing them to experience a state of paralysis …… The spirituality of the real souls themselves is very strong, and they can often gain a considerable advantage in related confrontations ……
”They are hard to find, and there is only one place that currently has exact traces of their activities, the city of Calderon in the spirit world.
”This is a legendary city with a mysterious and unknown origin, and in this regard, there are a total of three speculations about it, one is the abode of that God of Death in the past, the entrance to the Underworld, the second is the divine kingdom of a certain ancient god in the Second Era after his fall, which was attracted to the Spirit Realm and sank into it, and gradually diffused into a city that is both real and illusory, and the third is the reality of a city that was devoured by the Spirit Realm at the time of the Great Cataclysm.
”Either speculation points to the point that this city is dangerous and has many special and strange places ……
”I don’t have the occult coordinates for the city of Calderon, or even many of the higher spirit world beings ……
”I can offer two ideas, one is to pray to the ‘Red Light’ El Morya using a specific secret covenant ritual to get the appropriate answer, and I won’t go into a longer description of what the ‘Red Light’ is here, but if you don’t understand it, you You can write again and ask me about it, or secondly, find someone from the Abrahams family, who have inherited the ‘traveler’ pathway and have explored the spirit world in great depth ……”
Ms. Sharon even wrote a letter, but also gave a very restrained feeling …… Sure enough, the pharaoh mummy is prepared for the “puppet” ceremony, when the underground relics of the evil spirit also said, can be part of this ceremony …… So, the specific needs of the ceremony are the corpses of high ranking powerhouses that have retained their spirituality after their deaths, or the evil spirits derived from the blending of their grudges and souls?
Oh, and can I pray to the Orange Light to ask the Red Light for help? Well, for others, finding the city of Calderon is a very difficult task, but for me, it’s as simple as entrusting it to Ms. Magician, who is now a great servant of the Abrahams family. ……
I really hope that the first guess about Calderon City is correct, so that when I contact Mr. Aztec, I can see the dangerous residents of this mysterious city lined up in two rows, welcoming me …… Klein shook his head and put his beautiful thoughts to the back of his mind.
He re-examined the “Spirit World Ravagers” and confirmed that they shared some of the characteristics of the “Secret Puppet Masters” and “Trickster Mages”, and that they were quite dangerous creatures of the High Spirit World.
The idea of giving a split soul the appearance, manifestation and specialization of a real soul is the same as a “Trickster” giving its own abilities to a secret puppet. …… At the level of Charatu, or the sequence 3 “Ancient Scholar”, it is also possible to briefly transform a soul into a “Scholar of the Ancients”. At the level of Chaletu, or Sequence 3 “Ancient Scholar”, it is also possible to briefly grant certain extraordinary abilities to other creatures that are not secret puppets? Klein thoughtfully folded up the letterheads and casually shook his hands, watching them engulfed in crimson flames, turning into charred crumbs that fell to the trash can.
Collecting his thoughts, in his pajamas, he walked towards the bedroom door and motioned for his valet, Richardson, to come in and change his clothes.
……
St. Samuel’s Church underground.
Leonard Mitchell, as usual, pressed back against the back of his chair and rested his feet on the table.
There was nothing outwardly unusual about him, but inwardly he was thinking about Amon.
Since learning that this one had arrived at Berkland, the Parleys Zoroaster parasitized within him had become unusually silent, no longer as active as usual, and would speak and give unsolicited advice of his own accord.
If it wasn’t for the fact that he was able to obtain an answer when questioned, Leonard was even a little skeptical that the old man had sneaked off on his own and found someone else to parasitize.
In the midst of his thoughts, the captain of their “Red Gloves” team, the deacon of the night watch, Thorst, came in.
”Did you find out anything from the interrogation? “What’s the result?” The “Red Gloves” who were doing their own things in the room all cast their eyes toward the door.
Late last night, they had just completed a mission and captured the three Spirit Order members that they had been tracking for a while, and were now waiting for the results of the interrogation.
Solstice looked around with a serious expression and said:
”We have made a great merit, but this is not a good thing.
”Based on the confessions of those three members of the Spirit Order, as well as those information the church collected in the past, we can initially determine that the Spirit Order is split on whether to resurrect the God of Death or the Artificial God of Death, and that the latter has already made some progress, with notable gains.
”They are hostile to Rune, to us, and have placed part of their experiments with the Artificial Reaper in Berkland! Yes, their thoughts are the same as your current concerns, and even if the experiment fails, they can still have a chance to hit this capital of all capitals hard.”
Leonard recovered from his wandering state at once, and glanced at Bob, Cindy and the others, seeing the consternation and anger in each other’s eyes.
At that moment, Thorst knocked on the table next to him, stopping the team’s discussion.
He cleared his throat and said:
”Our current mission is, based on the clues in the testimony, to go to the Southern Continent to look for a few key personnel of the Spirit Order Artificial Death Faction, investigate how many nails are left in Becklander, and then pull them up one by one.
”For this mission, we will obtain the assistance of Ms. Daley, and the Church will give her magical potions in the form of an advance to help her prepare for the ceremony, so that she can become a ‘caretaker’ before she departs.
”In addition, the senior deacon in charge of the southern continent, Her Excellency, ‘Eye of the Goddess’ Illyria, and the local night watchman, will also offer their assistance by giving us the appropriate seals and doing advance research.
”Ladies and gentlemen, go back to rest for the day, prepare, and leave tomorrow night.”
”Yes, Captain!” Bob and Cindy and the others rose in response.
Leonard had followed and stood up but didn’t speak, the first thought that flashed through his mind surprisingly:
It was possible to take this opportunity to leave Berkland and get away from the threat of Amon!
Returning to No. 7, Rue de la Pinte, after closing the door of his room and drawing the curtains, he lowered his voice and said:
”Old man, problem solved.
”I don’t suppose the normal mobilization of the ‘Red Glove’ will arouse Amon’s suspicions?”
Within his mind, the slightly older voice said slowly:
”No.”
Leonard could hear that the old man’s tone was obviously much lighter, and with a twitch in his heart, he considered saying:
”Shall I write to Klein Moretti and tell him that we will be away from Berkland for a long time? After all, he was the one who warned us that Ammon had arrived ……”
Palles Zoroaster responded in an unchanged tone:
”Write if you wish.”
Leonard exhaled, drew out a sheet of letterhead, and picked up a blotting pen.
After a moment of deliberation, he wrote with a deep wrist:
”I have a mission and am about to leave Birkeland.”
Reading the short line of text, Leonard put down the fountain pen and folded the letter paper.
Quickly, he prepared the ritual of summoning the messenger, lit the candle, stepped back, and read in a low voice in ancient Hermetic:
”I!
”I invoke in my name:
”Spirit that wanders in the midst of vanity, friendly creature to be driven, messenger belonging to Germaine Sparrow alone.”
Within the room, the wind suddenly rumbled and became fierce all at once.
The candle’s flame swelled with it, tinted pale, and a bright-looking head with blonde hair and red eyes emerged from it.
Leonard raised an eyebrow and was about to speak when he saw that the head was followed not by a full neck, but by a hand tugging at his hair.
Renette Tignicole, dressed in a long, somber, complicated dress, stepped out quickly, and the four heads carried in her hands turned simultaneously, looking toward Leonard Mitchell, and spoke in turn:
”It is ……” “You ……” “who are going to ……” “send a letter?”
This spirit world creature looks very powerful …… Is this a perk that Klein got from joining that hidden organization? Leonard thought while nodding his head:
”Yes.”
The four heads that Renate Tynecol was carrying in her hands said once again:
”You ……” “need to ……” “give ……””one ……””gold coin.””
A gold coin? The messengers of the Mysterious World also charge money? Leonard was rather stunned, yet he didn’t know how to react, so he could only probe his hand into his pocket and felt out a gold coin.
Only then did Renate Tynecol let the two blonde-haired, red-eyed heads raise, biting into the letter paper and the gold coin respectively.
Then, she stepped into the void and disappeared.
When the candle flame returned to normal, Leonard lost his smile and whispered:
”Strange messenger ……”
As soon as his words fell, Palles Zoroaster’s slightly aged voice echoed within his mind:
”You, it’s best if you don’t speak ill of k behind his back.”
……k?The old man called a messenger a k?A messenger is a k?Leonard’s eyes widened steeply.
Palles coughed lightly and said:
”k is in a strange state, not much better than me.
”Anyway, that organization that believes in the ‘Fool’ is more, more …… well, than I thought, you have to be more careful when you contact or work with Klein Moretti.”
After saying that, the parasite also fell into silence and didn’t speak again for a long time.
……
”Leonard actually wants to use the mission to leave Berkland and get rid of the threat of Amon? This is what his old grandpa came up with? This is too much of a wimp, isn’t it?” Klein, who had received the letter, scanned the contents with a glance and muttered a few words to himself silently.
He began to seriously consider how he should use the arms deal as an excuse to get out of Bekrand as soon as possible for a while.
