Part 4 The Undead Chapter 186 Guesses and Thoughts
Inside the hotel room in the city of Gulain.
Kraven sat in his easy chair, reaching for the black tea with lemon slices offered by Enzo “The Winner”.
On the other side of him, “Admiral of Hell” Ludwig stood upright with a mask on his face and a bayonet at his waist, as if he were the most loyal of guards.
Until then, the completely calm Klein had enough energy to analyze the events inside the tomb of the God of Death, of which he was most concerned about which being helped Mr. Aztec out of the predicament at the critical moment, and gave three choices:
”First, the female voice;
”Secondly, this matter must have been beneficial to ‘her’, otherwise no one would have crossed the far distance and come over to provide assistance, of course, if it just happened to be passing by, based on good intentions, and help out in passing, that would be understandable and acceptable, but the problem is that that mausoleum was a result of the divine power and characteristics of the Death God at the time of his fall, The product of the combination of the corpse and the natural environment, without a corresponding ‘key’, even the gods can’t discover it and open the door, so how could anyone possibly pass by occasionally?
”Once again, Mr. Aztec’s actions were very sudden, without first going to the members of the Spirit Order who were carrying out the Artificial Death Plan to ‘inquire’ about the information, he directly followed the shouts, came to the Berserk Sea, and entered the ‘Death God’s Treasure Trove’, and if he wasn’t able to locate me and one of him, or possessing powerful precognition, hardly any being could have arrived so quickly and so promptly.
”Finally, the Salinger who was able to return from within Mr. Aztec was almost certainly the ‘I’m mad and I’m stronger’ Shinigami of the Fourth Age, and that female voice went so far as to call K by his name without a hint of respect.
”This ……”
In the midst of his serious analysis, Klein suddenly had a guess, but couldn’t help but want to avoid that possibility.
As far as he knew, the three extraordinary paths of Night, Death, and Giant belonged to a group, and could be interchanged in the higher sequences, while the Goddess, apart from utilizing the honorable name of “Crimson Lord” or the possible existence of a specific “0” seal, occupied a part of the authority of the “Moon”. The goddess not only occupies part of the authority of the “moon” through the honorific name of “Crimson Lord” or the possible existence of a specific “0” seal, but also has the title of “Lord of Sleep and Silence”, which can be pointed to the underworld and to the realm of the god of death.
The experience of the last Misty Town, as well as the fact that he had made a vow with the help of the Holy Sword under the witness of the Goddess in Tingen City, coupled with the fact that the Goddess obviously also possessed the authority of the Doom, led Klein to believe that he might have already made it onto the other party’s “Special Attention List”, just as he had utilized the “Scepter of the God of the Sea” to mark certain believers. “Marking certain believers.
”Bold assumptions, careful evidence, if it is really the goddess, then almost all the questions can be answered:
”As one of the seven positive gods, and as one of the final victors of the ‘Pale Age’, k has enough bits and levels to call death by its name ……
”And once I, who was marked by k, had an aberration, such as entering such an odd place as the ‘Death God’s Treasure Trove’, k could certainly have sensed it, responded to it, and, because of the cycle that would inevitably exist, didn’t arrive to stop it in the first place… …
”For k, that artificial death, or initial activation of the ‘death’ pathway ‘uniqueness’, could significantly strengthen the ‘sleep and silence’ aspect of the authority, or even allow k to directly encroach on the realm of Death, as the ‘Mother Tree of Desire’ did with the ‘Bound God’ ……
”When the ‘God of Death’ fell, the three copies of Sequence 1 should have been actively separated, and I don’t know who got them; if the Goddess collects them again, perhaps the title will have to include such things as ‘Lord of the Ancient Underworld, Monarch of All the Dead’ Now ……
”Mr. Aztec was never substantially threatened despite having been tracked by the Church’s High Sequence of Powerful Men, it seems the Goddess has been waiting for today to happen ……” Thinking of this, Klein was suddenly fainthearted.
He raised his right hand rather reverently, or at least superficially rather reverently, and drew a Crimson Moon by tapping it four times clockwise on his chest, and muttered:
”Praise the Goddess.”
This reminds him of the answer he received when he asked Will “Serpent of Fate” Onsettin about how to get the formula for the “Diviner’s” High Sequence Magic Potion:
”…… You can only find the crazy Charatu, or go to the Hornachis Mountain Range, if you are a family member of the night, forget I said that.”
After the whole Misty Town thing, Klein had already realized that going to the Honachis Mountains was the same option as looking for Charatu, even going underground to St. Samuel’s Church to steal the Antigonus family notes, but it wasn’t until today that he’d thought that the latter half of that nonsense might not be meaningless.
He raised a hand and rubbed up his chin, muttering silently to himself:
”Maybe, probably, possibly, I really am considered a member of the Night’s Favor ……”
With regards to this point, Klein was actually not too repulsed:
On the one hand, after he came to this world, he spent his first years in the Black Night Church’s Tingen City Night Watch squad, with a group of good teammates and colleagues, a relatively cozy life, and a relatively recognized philosophy, and even now, he still thinks back to it from time to time, so although he can’t talk about believing in the “Goddess of the Night”, he has the highest degree of recognition of this deity. On the other hand, at least up to now, the “Night Goddess” is the most recognized deity.
On the other hand, at least up to now, the “Goddess of the Night” has not yet shown any malice, but on the contrary, she has given some “gifts”, so Klein thought that since he has already been made a special mark, and can’t get rid of it in a short period of time, he can only learn to accept it and make full use of it.
Of course, the necessary vigilance is also indispensable …… In addition, the “Mother Tree of Desire”, “Real Creator”, “Original Witch”, “Original Witch”, “Original Witch”, “Original Witch”, “Original Witch”, “Original Witch”, “Original Witch” and “Original Witch”. “The Mother Tree of Desire”, “The True Creator”, “The Primordial Witch”, “The Primordial Moon”, “The Blasphemer”, “The Angel of Fate”, “Urolius”, and other rivals are too many, and some of them may even catch me in the act. Some of them might even be able to catch me at some point. If I don’t find a big leg to hold on to, the future will be really tough! Klein who had faced too many things quickly adjusted his mindset.
For him, as long as the Goddess marked herself as having made a vow with the help of the Holy Sword, not earlier, and was not “monitoring” all the time, then he would be able to accept it.
At least from the “Poseidon scepter” on the special believers mark, has been “monitoring” is not established …… Well, Mr. Aztec for a long time will be in a state of slumber, the goddess also! Not to say that “God descends” can “God descends”, there are bound to be corresponding obstacles and difficulties, otherwise the seven gods would have long been all over the world “God descends”, to solve all kinds of problems, so I am in the southern continent! Therefore, I have to keep a low profile, be more honest, and try not to pin my hopes on the external …… Klein reminded himself of a few sentences, and then turned to look at the new secret puppet, the “Admiral of Hell” Ludwig.
Frankly speaking, he had been quite curious about the face hidden under the silver-white mask, but when he thought of the mutation caused by Ludwig’s removal of the mask during the last battle, he held his mind back and prepared to leave the city and enter the jungles and other uninhabited places before trying it again.
After some hustle and bustle, Klein was able to figure out the sequence and abilities of the new secret puppet.
Ludwig is a Sequence 5 “Gatekeeper” in the “Reaper” pathway, and is not a normal human.
The corresponding sequence 9 is “corpse collector”, Klein already knew the specifics when he was in Tingen City, and it is clear that they will have certain corpse qualities, the whole person looks quite eerie, low body temperature, so as to avoid being attacked by unintelligent undead, and at the same time, they also gained the physical quality of the body to withstand the decay, cold and the erosion of the breath of death, naturally have spiritual vision, and have the ability to see, and the ability to see. They also gain physical enhancements that allow them to withstand decay, cold, and the scent of death, have natural psychic vision, and understand the characteristics and weaknesses of many undead creatures.
Sequence 8 is the “Gravedigger”, and the “Corpse Collectors” promoted to this level have a stronger body, more powerful spiritual vision, more agile, and can initially communicate with a small number of ‘spirits’ in the vicinity, allowing them to provide assistance. In addition to this, even when facing unfamiliar undead creatures and creatures from the spirit world, a “grave digger” can quickly find out their weaknesses through “observation”, which is called the “Eye of Death”. This is called the “Eye of Death”.
Sequence 7 “Psychic” belongs to the stage of qualitative change, extraordinary people will master all kinds of spirit-related occult rituals, and can directly communicate with nature spirits and wandering dead souls in the real world, as far as they are concerned, there are informants everywhere.
At the same time, they can use different spirits to realize all kinds of magic and create all kinds of supernatural phenomena, which is quite comprehensive.
Sequence 6 “Necromancers” and Sequence 5 “Gatekeepers” do not have any substantial changes compared to “Psychics”, but only expand the scope of communication: “Necromancers are now involved in the spirit world, and can “recruit” their own messengers to get help from certain creatures in the spirit world, while Gatekeepers can sense the entrance to the Underworld and drive the undead inside, as if they were guarding the world of life and death. The “gatekeepers” can sense the entrance to the underworld and drive the spirits inside, as if they were guarding the gap between life and death.
Starting from “Psychic”, with each advancement in the sequence, the number and quality of nature spirits, undead creatures, and creatures of the spirit world that an extraordinary person can control and drive grows exponentially, and the “Necromancers” additionally master the “Word of the Dead”, which is able to bypass the protection of the flesh and blood. “Word of the Dead”, which elevates communication against spirits to drive or even enslave them, and “Gatekeepers” can make limited use of the mysterious door between life and death, the door to the underworld!
”If it weren’t for the Aztec Copper Whistle naturally restraining the ‘Body Collector’ pathway’s control over spirits, I might not have been qualified to fight the ‘Admiral of Hell’ in the first place, and even now, if I didn’t have the ‘ Traveling’ guarantee, even if I use the ability of the upper demigod level, I most likely won’t be able to solve Ludwell, in the future, when I take revenge on Inns Zangwill, I have to pay attention to this point, he used to be the ‘Gatekeeper’.” Klein nodded gently while picking up his cup and taking a sip of black tea.
As for Ludwig’s weapon, it is called “Harris’s Stabbing Sword”, originating from an ancient prince of the southern continent, it does not directly correspond to which pathway or which sequence, but is closer to the “King of the North” Urisian that kind of similar characteristics of the product of irregular aggregation.
It has only one extraordinary ability, which is to bring absolute destruction to the thing stabbed.
As the pirate general with the highest bounty, Ludwell didn’t have more than this magical item, but unfortunately, his most precious ring of death was taken away by Aztec, and the silver-white mask he wore on his face couldn’t be taken off by Klein to study it for a short period of time.
”Also, he really doesn’t love money, he doesn’t have the slightest need for it ……” Klein put down his cup and retracted his gaze, deciding to leave the city of Gulain while the time was still relatively early and go somewhere else to wait for Daniz’s side to finish his investigation.
