Part 4 The Undead Chapter 193 – Choosing “Clothes”
Above the boundless gray mist, in the majestic ancient palace.
Klein did not rush to divination, first responded to the sacrifice ceremony of “Hanged Man” Alger, and brought the cane made by the extraordinary characteristics of the “Ocean Singer” in front of him.
”Words of the Sea …… this name, inexplicably a little nostalgic ah, so let’s call it …… basically equal to the ‘Scepter of the Sea God’ of the comprehensive weakened version, there is no ‘Lightning Storm’, but the ‘Scepter of the Sea God’ of the ‘Sea God’. ‘Lightning Storm’, ‘Tsunami’ and other demigod level abilities …… negative effects are quite a lot …… “Klein recalled the description of the “inverted man”, while rubbing the head of the deep black staff inlaid with silver and white metal.
Perhaps it was the natural suppression of the mysterious space above the gray fog, this extraordinary cane did not show the characteristics of life, lying there quietly, as if it were the most common and ordinary piece of wood.
Klein amplitude is very small nodded his head, silent self-talk:
”Having the characteristic of being alive is indeed quite a troublesome point for magical items, but from another point of view, it also means that it can be communicated and exchanged, how nasty a fellow was the ‘Dice of Probability’ in the beginning, didn’t it also become obedient after receiving education?
”Moreover, it’s perfectly fine to give it to a servant to take during the week… Well, ‘Winner’ Enzo is perfect for this, although he no longer has passive luck, there has always been a buildup of luck in preparation for critical moments, and letting it out a little doesn’t affect anything, so that no matter if he’s tripped, fallen, or whipped, the It could all be dodged very smoothly and unobtrusively.
”Thinking carefully, this kind of mischief of the cane is not completely useless, if I meet other ‘secret puppet masters’, encounter spirit world marauders or trickery evil monsters, lose a head start, tragically be initially controlled, thinking and action become slow, then just by myself to try to break free, it’s still a bit difficult, this time, being uncontrolled by the cane, it’s a bit difficult. At this time, by the uncontrolled cane suddenly whip so, or trip to the ground, not successfully get out of the predicament?
”Hey, the negative effects of magical items are also a great help when utilized well. ……
”Of course, in normal battles, similar pranks can also bring unnecessary dangers, how to weigh them and how to circumvent them has to be figured out by using them over and over again.”
As for the negative effect of the holder being easily struck by lightning in thunderstorms, Klein doesn’t care, firstly, unless in special areas, thunderstorms are only a small amount, and most of the time there is no need to consider them, secondly, as a “soothsayer”, it is a routine operation to divine the weather conditions of the day before going out, and lastly, if it is really impossible to avoid a thunderstorm, Klein can still avoid it by using it again. Finally, if it is impossible to avoid the thunderstorm, Klein can also hand the cane to the secret puppet Enzo, so that even if there is really a lightning strike to the “winner”, it will be drawn away by the nearby lightning rod.
”I just hope I’m not the lightning rod ……” Klein smiled to himself, considering the one negative effect that bothered him the most:
The Transcendent Song Release every 6 hours!
This doesn’t discriminate between enemy and friend, the effects are randomized, and it’s simply an AOE killer! (Note 1)
After some thought, Klein decided to use communication to get the “Words of the Sea” cane to reduce the frequency of singing, or to remind him before singing.
”I had an early lunch today, counting the time, the ‘Creeping Hunger’ should almost dry up and howl ……” Klein thoughtfully took off the human skin glove he was wearing on his left palm and threw it to the blank area in front of the clutter pile.
Immediately after that, he picked up the deep black cane inlaid with silver-white metal and threw it over, and then, mobilizing the little power of the mysterious space above the gray mist, he created a barrier that could cut off all sounds and images, leaving the “writhing hunger” and the “words of the sea” to be alone.
After doing so, Klein stroked his palm, manifested a pen and paper, and wrote down a divination statement:
”I am in danger of doing reconnaissance of the outer layer area of Calderon City today.”
Placing the dark red round-bellied pen in place, Klein removed the Spirit Pendulum from within his sleeve and held it in his left hand, draping it over the surface of the paper, just short of touching it.
After silently reciting the divination statement seven times, he opened his eyes and saw the citrine pendant standing still, not making a turn.
This meant that the divination had failed.
”The specifics of the city of Calderon are secret to the entire spirit world, and divination lacks sufficient antecedents …… Moreover, it was once the divine kingdom of an ancient god, and there are mutated resurrection arrangements remaining, which would likewise interfere with divination …… “Klein put away his spiritual pendulum and thought with deliberation, “I can only choose to believe in the ‘red light’, the outer regions of Calderon are not in great danger …… Besides, I still have the secret puppets, so I can make them go on first, to confirm whether the inside can shield the gray fog, if it can, then give up, if not, I will enter again by myself.”
Klein quickly had a decision, no longer hesitating, waving his hand to remove that barrier he created earlier.
Then, he saw that the “Creeping Hunger” had retreated to the edge of the pile of debris, supporting itself with three fingers, while its thumb and pinky finger pressed back on the “Grosser’s Travels”, with the appearance of being weak and about to become unsteady on its feet.
At the same time, a mouth cracked open in the center of its palm, revealing two rows of illusory, white teeth as it continuously gasped for air.
On the other side of the barrier just now, the deep black cane inlaid with silver-white metal lay on the ground, bouncing every now and then, with slightly azure transparent water bubbles constantly gurgling out of the tip.
”Good, so it’s all quiet ……” Seeing such an image, Klein murmured in relief.
As soon as he spoke, the “Word of the Sea” cane suddenly stood up, as if someone was holding it, and “jumped” up and down towards Kraven, bypassing the “Fool’s” seat and ducking to the other side, where the “writhing” cane was being held by a man. The “writhing hunger”, with five fingers as feet, chased after him with great difficulty, and when he was halfway there, he finally fell down with a thud.
Klein watched without words, and suddenly sighed long and hard:
”After fusing with Mr. A, ‘Creeping Hunger’ seems to have the characteristic of being alive, but this IQ is too low, right, obviously grazing the ‘Wind Favors’, able to fly short distances, but still using the fingers as feet to catch up! ……”
After saying that, he turned his head to look at the “Word of the Sea” cane that was hiding beside him:
”Aren’t you Sequence 5 of the ‘Sailor’ pathway? What kind of magical item is it if you can only jump on one leg?
”Really, is this rudimentary living trait the equivalent of a baby? No, a certain fetus has a much higher IQ than you guys!”
After lecturing each of them twice, Klein sighed and amused himself:
”I’m no devil either ……”
Before his words fell, the gloves and cane, which were still moving a bit, froze at the same time, not daring to make a sound at all.
Klein’s subsequent words were immediately blocked back into his throat, so he could only probe his hand to pick up the “words of the sea” cane, and kindly and sincerely communicate with the other party.
After a friendly and frank negotiation, this deep black cane inlaid with silver and white metal shook with a very fast frequency, saying that it would try to sing less in the future, and if it really couldn’t hold it in, it would inform the master in advance, the specific ways include but are not limited to shaking slightly, raising itself a few centimeters, etc. At the same time, it used the method of singing to raise the spirits of the master.
At the same time, it sings to make a request:
Never hold it with the hand that wears the “writhing hunger”!
Of course, if the owner has to do this, he has no objection and is happy to accept it.
”It’s better than Creeping Hunger, it’s not so stubborn ……” Klein beckoned, taking Creeping Hunger into his hand and putting it into his left palm. and put it on his left palm.
Looking at the “Summoning Gate” that he had created through the ritual earlier, Klein began to think about what items he would take with him on his initial exploration of Calderon City.
It goes without saying that the two secret puppets can be used as decoys, can scout the way ahead, and can be used as experiments to confirm whether there are traps or not, so the “Secret Puppet Master” doesn’t need to carry out too many dangerous maneuvers, so it’s inevitable that he must bring them along.
With them, Enzo’s “Blood Flower” ring and Ludwig’s “Harris Sword” are standard equipment, and should not be forgotten, in addition, Klein also intends to let Enzo take the “Word of the Sea” cane. In addition, Klein also plans to let Enzo take the “Word of the Sea” cane.
As for himself, Klein is prepared to go in the form of a spirit, so that if anything goes wrong, he can immediately end the summoning and return to the gray mist, in which case, it is worth thinking about which “clothes” to wear.
”Aztec Copper Whistle? No, this is related to that God of Death in the back, and the city of Calderon belongs to the Ancient God of Death …… This has a not-so-small probability of causing a terrifying mutation, allowing the dangers in the core area to come out on their own.
”‘Black Emperor’ card, or ‘Tyrant’ card? Well, this time it’s an event in the spirit world, and the two secret puppets are basically equal to the dead, so there’s no fear of having blood extracted, heh, Ludwell himself is half undead and half human, neither has much blood to speak of, and Enzo’s blood only has the value of existing to make him look like a human normally, and that can be restored afterward through the ‘Flower of Blood’ ring, which means that I can bring along the ‘Neptune’s Scepter’ to Calderon!
”It’s deep in the Spirit World, far from the waters of the Rothschild Islands, so I don’t have to worry about being affected by the prayers of the faithful, the only problem is that I’ll become irritable, easily angered and overzealous …… This is a big no-no when it comes to exploring, but that’s easy to fix, just give it to Enzo or Ludwig to take with him , and, the ‘Tyrant’ card is highly ranked, and can exert a certain amount of suppression on the ‘Scepter of Neptune’, so that I’m not so flammable and explosive.
”With this combination of ‘Tyrant’ card plus ‘Neptune’s Scepter’, I’m equivalent to half of Sequence 4. This is the most effective way to reduce the risk, and in the future, even if I enter with Miss Sharon, I can match it like this to keep Sharon Miss Sharon to remain in the Spiteful Soul, no, Evil Spirit state would be no problem!
”Corresponding extraordinary characteristics of the law of polymerization do not have to worry too much, if Calderon can shield the gray fog, I will go back after taking a look outside, there is simply no one who can lock and catch up, after all, the spirit world is not the main field of the ‘sailor’ pathway, if Calderon can not shield the gray fog, there is really a high sequence of storm church powerhouses that have been If Calderon can’t shield the gray mist, if there is really a storm church high sequence powerhouse that is attracted here, it can be utilized ……” In the midst of his thoughts, Klein suddenly reached out his hand, making the “Tyrant” card that was placed on top of the bronze table fly up and fall into his palm.
Immediately afterward, he dissolved this “blasphemous card” into the soul body.
Suddenly, an extremely majestic and terrifying aura emanated from the location of the “Fool”, and a deep triple crown silently appeared on top of Klein’s head, and his clothes turned into religious vestments.
The latter was similar to the Pope’s outfit in “Saint Seiya” that he had watched in his past life, except that the color was dark blue and almost black.
A whistling wind sound rang out, and that papal vestment violently unfolded, with which Klein raised his right hand and condensed it in mid-air, catching the white bone scepter that flew in on its own.
At the top of the scepter, a jewel suddenly emitted a blinding light of blue or silver, surrounding the seated “tyrant” like lightning.
The “Word of the Sea” scepter snapped and fell to the ground, prostrate next to the scepter-wielding, pope-dressed Kraven.
Note 1: Ranged attack.
