Part 4 The Undead Chapter 200 Thin Skinned
…… The goddess really responded …… When he saw those words made up of powder, Klein’s first reaction actually had nothing to do with the substance, but was shaken by the fact that this seemingly absurd thing had actually happened.
Although he had prepared himself mentally and believed that the probability of success would not be low, he was still caught up in complex emotions that he was unable to break free of for dozens of seconds.
After a while, Klein slowly exhaled and raised his right hand, tapping it four times clockwise on his chest:
”Praise the Goddess!”
He ended the ritual immediately, forcing himself to return his attention to the “oracle” itself:
”Evil spirits possessed and in need of exorcism?
”How could Innes Zangwill be possessed by an evil spirit? He had risen from Sequence 9 to Sequence 5 in the ‘Reaper’ pathway, and had switched to Sequence 4 ‘Night Watch’ in the ‘Night’ pathway, which was very good at dealing with spirit creatures, during the crucial stage of acquiring divinity. “Only grievous spirits and evil spirits are afraid of him, how can there be any reason for him to be possessed by an undead spirit?
”Unless that evil spirit is at a very high level or extremely special in nature.
”Unfortunately, I have only seen one evil spirit in the true sense of the word, that is, the ancient evil spirit sealed within that underground relic of Arista Tudor, I don’t know much about this kind of monster, it’s difficult to grasp a lot of detailed things, hmmm, in the follow-up, I can write a letter to ask Ms. Sharon, or I can also let the little ‘sun’ Ask around, that ‘shepherd’ elder Lovia herds an evil spirit ……
”No wonder Ince Zangwill is looking for a meeting with the demigods of the Spirit Order, in terms of exorcising evil spirits, apart from the Church of the Dark Night and the Church of the Eternal Blazing Sun, it probably has to be the Spirit Order, ergo, I guess I have to add the Church of the God of War in front of it, and there are always similarities in the way of proximity.
”Another thing that can be seen is that Ince Zangwill didn’t want his possession by an evil spirit to be known by a certain faction of the royal family and the Witch Cult that he was working with, otherwise he wouldn’t have had to come to the Southern Continent in person at all! Those two forces originated from before the Fifth Age and have a long heritage, so it’s not so bad that they can’t even find a single seal that can expel or purify the evil spirits, and even if they can’t find one, contacting the Spirit Order through the Witch Sect will definitely be more hidden and safer than Ince Zangwill making a trip on his own. ……”
While his thoughts were spinning, Klein spread out a piece of letter paper on the table and put pen to paper:
”The information you provided allowed me to connect the clues I had previously gathered at once, and thanks to the help of a certain great being, this clearly points to one conclusion:
”Ince Zangwill is possessed by an evil spirit and is seeking the help of the Spirit Order.
”From this fact alone we can also derive a number of useful judgments:
”Ince Zangwill will from time to time show inconsistencies in his speech and behavior before and after; he will occasionally go off the rails, do things we think he would never do, and make mistakes that are difficult for us to understand; and until this problem is resolved, his contact with the Spirit Order will not be interrupted, and will even become more and more frequent … …
”Tracing from these judgments, we might be able to catch Ince Zangwill’s tail, but I think it’s still impossible to pin him down, and the coincidence created by that ‘0’ level sealing object is normally insurmountable.”
Writing this, Klein couldn’t help but think of the time he had a head-on encounter with Ince Zangwill:
One’s own investigation did not directly point to the other party, but it caused their plot to nearly fall apart, so Ince Zangwill took the initiative and a meteorite fell from the sky in an attempt to kill Sherlock Moriarty and obliterate the clues, and one’s own eventual help from Mr. Aztec to escape from the desperate situation led to Ince Zangwill having to come out from behind the curtain and onto the stage, exposed to the spotlight.
At that time in that situation, if Mr. Azk had returned to his previous level, Ince Zangwill might have been dead …… but it’s still very difficult to replicate something similar and create a scene where he had to appear in front of us on his own, knowing that that previous time not only did Mr. Azk, the “Consul of Death” and me, who can use the gray mist to destroy coincidences, but also “Triskelion” and the ring on her hand which is suspected to be a “0” level seal. Without the sudden escape of this young lady, Ince Zangwill would not have been forced to the point of personally taking action …… Klein deliberated and wrote again:
”If we can figure out the origin and main purpose of that evil spirit, things might take a turn for the better ……”
After writing Ince Zangwill related, Klein’s mind was about to mention another thing in passing, but after sketching out the opening letters, he stopped the pen again and raised his left hand, pinching both cheeks at the same time, appearing hesitant and seemingly not too good at it.
After a few silent mutterings, Klein eventually writes the latter in a fluent manner:
”Even without the help of that ‘0’ level seal, Ince Zangwill is an enemy that you and I can’t fight head-on, and we must make fuller preparations.
”If you can provide me with some ‘Worms of Time’, I can craft them into a high-level charm capable of dealing with demigods; it’s called ‘Stealer of Fortune’, and it can counterbalance the fates of the self and the target for a shorter period of time. ”
Putting down his fountain pen, Krynn didn’t look at it any further, and with great speed folded up the letterhead and solemnly placed it inside an envelope.
He whirled around and took out his adventurer’s harmonica and a gold coin, summoning Miss Messenger and having her pick up the reply to Leonard Mitchell’s letter, but, this time, instead of delivering it to 7 Pinter Street, he took it directly to the other party’s current place of residence – at this point, it hadn’t been that long since Leonard had written in, and Crane assumed that he should have not yet moved out of Renate Tignicole’s sensory range.
After doing so, Klein shook his head with a small amplitude of relief and said:
”It’s such a difficult thing to make requests to others, even more so for the thin-skinned.”
He quickly withdrew his attention, and once again transformed the two secret puppets, Enzo “The Winner” and Ludwig “The Admiral of Hell”, as they had been seen by the Angel of Fate, Uros “The Angel of Destiny”, while exploring Calderon. Uros, the Angel of Fate, when they were exploring Calderon.
In the process, Klein had the idea to “send” them to the Grey Mist, using the Spirit Ravagers’ real souls as camouflage!
Spirit world predator can make the split souls change into the appearance of the real soul body, can also disguise them as other spirit world creatures, it left behind the extraordinary material, must have a similar ability, but the use of difficult, less effective, the negative impact is very big!
However, all these are not a problem for Klein who possesses the mysterious space above the gray mist, anyway, it’s not like he intends to apply that extraordinary material in actual combat, usually transforming the secret puppets doesn’t need too smooth operation and too good effect at all, and this can be adjusted slowly, as for the negative impacts that are mixed with the divine factor, it’s even more worthless to be mentioned, who isn’t peaceful in the pile of miscellaneous things?
After a busy time, Klein sat down on the high-backed chair belonging to the “Fool”, holding the palm-sized real soul of the Spirit World Predator in his hand, and without looking down, he extended his spirituality a little bit into it.
What he saw in front of his eyes did not change much, it was still the same illusory thin black “spirit body thread”, but when he tried to manipulate it, he realized that he could not only bring the secret puppet’s “spirit body thread” under his control, but also let his own ” Spiritual Body Thread” swam over and stuck into the body of the secret puppet.
When both parties established such a two-way connection, Klein suddenly felt that the secret puppet and himself had become one, and all of his own extraordinary abilities could be exerted on the other party through the “spiritual thread”, including the “faceless man’s” ability to change his appearance and figure! “Technique”!
In the slow and difficult maneuvering, Klein felt dizzy, felt the confusion of emotions, and had a tendency to lose control.
This was the inevitable effect of direct contact between spirituality and divinity.
He was busy distracting himself by mobilizing the little power of the mysterious space above the grey mist to calm his state as before.
After an ordeal, Klein completed his attempts, “Winner” Enzo became more like the natives of the southern continent, at a glance, he came from the plantation, “Admiral of Hell” Ludwig had a sense of hybridization, the frightening face is not only no longer skin and bones, but also a little more fat! Meaning, as for the silver-white mask that has a tranquilizing effect, there is no way to remove it for the time being, Klein had to let Ludwig tie it to his chest against his skin – it has some effect, but not as good as wearing it directly on his face, and it can only barely be maintained.
”It’s a pity that there’s no way to change this mask into some other type of jewelry, or it would save a lot of work.” Klein rubbed the corner of his forehead as he busied himself with throwing the Spirit World Marauder’s real soul back into the clutter pile, letting his thoughts fizzle out, “By the way, I still have a copy of the ‘Soul Restorer’ Extraordinary Trait here, which can be made into a magical item to replace that mask… …No, I was always going to return it to the church and send it to Leonard when he wrote back.”
After the discomfort gradually eased, Klein took out his gold-cased pocket watch and pressed it open to look at it and determine the time.
Then he summoned a paper figure and pried some of the power of the mysterious space above the gray mist, and threw both into a specially marked point of light at the same time.
It was the point of light belonging to the Fool’s only current believer, Daniz!
In Klein’s opinion, “General Star” Kadriya had the Moss Ascetic Order behind her, “Iceberg General” Edwina was a member of the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom, and Anderson Hood didn’t really know much about Germaine Sparrow and was very adept at recognizing situations and wouldn’t try to be brave. Bravado, so in the face of the Aurora Club’s “investigation”, the probability that they will not be so dangerous, the only thing is Daniz, being in the West Byron, the short term can not go back to the “Golden Dream”, the strength is not very good, but also from time to time to put on a first to do and then think about the boxing gloves, it really makes one worry. I’m worried.
Based on these facts, Mr. “Fool” had to work a little harder and give Daniz a “paper angel” hug every day to interfere with his divination and prophecy.
……
Leonard did not expect such a quick reply from Klein Moretti, and opened the envelope with a little wonder, reading the corresponding content:
”Thanks to the help of a certain great being, is it referring to that ‘Fool’?
”As expected, Klein’s investigation of Ince Zangwill has penetrated to such an extent that he got the truth just after I mentioned the matter of the Spirit Order ……
”Evil spirit possession? How can an evil spirit possess you?
”How should this be utilized?
”The Worm of Time …… this …… “Leonard skimmed to the end of the letter at a rapid speed, and his expression steeply became a bit complicated.
Within his mind, Palles Zoroaster remained silent and did not speak.
