Part 4 The Undead Chapter 39 The Fortune Thief

　　What would interest a “serpent of destiny” that would be appropriate? Crane sat up slowly and took a pillow behind him.

　　He pondered for a while, and decided not to think about it, because there was still at least a month to go before Will Ansettin’s birth, and he could still leave it to the “Hidden One”, Gadelia, or the “Queen of Mystery”, Bernadette, who was behind her, to worry about it.

　　Of course, Klein didn’t rule out the possibility that Will Ansettin had decided to go into early labor on a whim.

　　He slowly turned his attention to the creation of the “Worm of Time” spell, which, according to the “Serpent of Destiny” Will Onsettin, had almost all the conditions, except for a corresponding symbol.

　　Praying to the Fool to use the power of the mysterious space above the gray mist …… I don’t know if the symbol for the way of the Stealer will work… …Even if it does, I don’t know, unless I can pull a Thief into the Gray Mist and make a pattern appear on the back of the corresponding high-backed chair. …… While Klein was pondering the details, an idea suddenly came to him:

　　In that case, maybe we can try the symbol behind the seat of the Fool!

　　Half of the “pupil-less eye”, which represents secrecy, and half of the “twisted line”, which symbolizes change, form a special symbol!

　　”I don’t know if it’s useful …… Divination can’t be ruled out, but I can predict whether the attempt will go well or not, and even if it fails, it shouldn’t be much of a problem, anyway, the prayers are for myself, even if the material is lost in the experiment, it will only go into the gray mist, and won’t be lost! …… “Thinking of this, Klein was a bit excited, and couldn’t help but turn over and get out of bed, ready to do the “experiment” tonight!

　　The “Worm of Time” material belongs to the “Stealer” demigod legacy of Amon’s realm. Although it has already died, its essence is still there, and its level is still there, so even if the spells made from it can’t reach the angelic level due to various problems, there won’t be too much of a difference, and it belongs to the peak power of the saintly level. The peak power of the order, Klein if successful, it is equal to one more card, at the critical moment, may be able to let him have one more life, how can he not be excited, how can he not look forward to!

　　I can only pry a small amount of power from the mysterious space above the gray mist, and the level of the “Worm of Time” spell should be lowered a little bit, but no matter what, it’s definitely stronger than the “Ninth Law” given to me by Admiral Emilius… …If I use “Breath of the Murmurer” to make a high-level spell of the Demon Realm, it should be almost as good as the Ninth Law, but unfortunately, I don’t dare to pray to the “Dark Side of the Universe”… …Klein, in his pajamas and bare feet, took four steps backward on the soft, thick carpet, recited a low incantation, and entered the gray mist.

　　Taking the “Fool” position at the top of the bronze table, he materialized a dark red round-bellied fountain pen and tawny parchment, and wrote down the corresponding divination statement:

　　”My upcoming spell making will go well.”

　　Unclasping the spirit pendulum within his sleeve, Krynn held it in his left hand and began to meditate.

　　After repeating the divination statement seven times, he opened his eyes and looked ahead, only to see the citrine pendant doing a clockwise rotation, at a slower speed and normal amplitude.

　　This means that it will be smooth …… But the question is, is it smooth to verify that the symbol is useful, or smooth to verify that it is not useful? The veteran soothsayer Klein tried to interpret the revelation, but could not get a definite answer.

　　In response, he could only decide to experiment, because otherwise he could not rule out the error.

　　Immediately afterward, Klein wrote down a new divination statement:

　　”The assassination of Mr. X on Friday this week is in danger.”

　　This time, the citrine pendant still did a clockwise rotation, but at a faster speed and with a greater amplitude.

　　There is a considerable danger, but not to the extent that a demigod is involved, let alone the King of Angels ……If this level of existence is really involved, K would certainly be able to detect and counter my divination ……It seems that the ” Angel of Destiny” Urolius will soon be lured out of Bekrand ah …… This means that the danger itself is more focused on Mr. X and his men, and falls within the realm of what I can handle …… As long as I don’t make any mistakes, the chances are high …… Klein made his judgment, put down his pen and paper, and returned to the real world.

　　As an expert in the occult who often produces charms, he is not lacking in all kinds of common materials, and immediately turned out the candle, lit on the desk, and then in the light of dusk, set up a simple altar, and with a carving knife on the front of the silver sheet depicted the composite symbols on behalf of the “Fool”.

　　Since Klein himself did not know what spirit number the “Fool” corresponded to, and what magical markings it had, he had to make the front and back the same – according to the book of spells he had read, this also met the rules of the occult, but accordingly the power would be reduced and the probability of failure would be higher, because you prayed for the “Fool” to be the same as the “Fool”, and it would be the same as the “Fool”. The probability of failure would be elevated, as the being you prayed to would be prone to think that you were not pious enough or respectful enough based on this, but of course, this was no problem for Klein, who would not mind himself.

　　After completing the initial drawing and engraving, Krynn found a metal vial and used his spirituality to work with the vessel to guide out the mercury inside, filling it within the patterned traces of the silver sheet.

　　This time, he completed only the front side for the time being, and then summoned himself and responded to himself, bringing the little worm with 12 transparent rings back to the room and placing it on the silver sheet.

　　With that done, Klein adjusted the altar, took two steps back, and spoke in ancient Hermetic:

　　”Fools not of this age ……”

　　He followed the process, completing the appropriate steps, and then took four steps backward, entering the gray mist above, housing the “Black Emperor” card, and answering the prayer by prying a small amount of power from the mysterious space above the gray mist with his own spirituality.

　　At the same time that the surge of power into the aperture, Klein did not hesitate to return to the real world, and saw that the altar had become deep and dark, as if it hid countless secrets, and that the silver sheet had floated up, and the body of the “Worm of the Hours” was in a state of semi-fusion.

　　Klein took two steps forward, turned the silver sheet over, and filled the symbols on its back with mercury.

　　One of the lines then lit up and blossomed into a grayish glow.

　　Klein quickly retracted his hand and watched as the luminescence grew stronger, encasing the silver sheet and the body of the Worm of Time.

　　Suddenly, the deep darkness of the altar distorted, and the whole space seemed to be abnormal.

　　This change flickered, and a spell covered with strange patterns slowly fell onto the surface of the desk. It was translucent and deep black in color, like a small deck of cards made of special crystals, or like the eyes of a certain being watching over the world.

　　It worked! Sure enough it works! Klein was delighted in his heart, and busied himself by going forward and picking up the talisman, only to feel that his hands were cold to the touch, as if he had touched a snowflake.

　　Regardless of the final effect of the talisman, forming it meant success!

　　Kraven had once again obtained a demigod level advanced talisman!

　　He was busy for a while, bringing the finished product to the gray mist, and used his “dream divination” technique to roughly understand its effects:

　　The effect of this black crystal card-like spell was simple yet powerful: to steal someone else’s destiny, or more accurately, to graft their destiny onto themselves for a certain period of time afterward!

　　The simplest case is, when the enemy is about to kill me, I use this spell, can steal his successful life fate over, graft my fate of the imminent death of the fate of him, and then there will be, obviously he succeeded, but the death of his own this kind of situation …… in line with the “stealer” path consistent characteristics. “The pathway has always been characterized, but more evil and more terrible …… This is from stealing money all the way to the fate of ah …… If the “worm of the hour” is living If the “Worm of Time” is alive, and I can completely pry the power of the mysterious space above the gray fog, then this spell may also point to the realm of time …… Klein felt fearful while dispersing his thoughts:

　　If there is no gray fog blocking and “sterilization”, without the help of this mysterious space of a little power, he simply can not help any “time worm”!

　　Whew, it’s mine now …… Can’t call it “Worm of Time” anymore, let’s call it “Luck Stealer.”…… Klein got busy again and brought the “Luck Stealer” spell back to the real world.

　　After taking care of the remnants of the ritual, he solemnly placed the high-level spell into an iron cigarette case, and placed it together with the Aztec copper whistle and the Seniol gold coin, and blocked and partitioned it with a spiritual wall.

　　In a soothing mood, Klein momentarily lost his desire to sleep and brushed the curtains open a crack, allowing the scarlet moonlight from the outside world to shine in, illuminating a room of peace and quiet.

　　In the midst of admiring the view, he suddenly saw a figure dive out of Senator Macht’s house, follow the shadows, and lean this way.

　　It was none other than Hazel Macht, who had once again reached the sewer entrance, moved the manhole cover, and climbed down, not forgetting to recover.

　　Why is she always heading into the sewers? It should not be from here to other areas, playing a superhero of the mysterious world, after all, less than an hour at a time, unless there is a particularly strong intelligence support, it is difficult to accomplish anything, and it is very easy to be caught by the official organization …… in combination with the “magic mirror”. Combined with the image shown by Arodes, it seems more like she is looking for something …… Well, exploring deeper and deeper into the sewers like this, it is easy to run into danger ah …… Klein stood behind a gap in the curtains and watched the various things he found under the serene night color.

　　He did not try to warn Hazel, or directly with a “ghost” possession to let the other side understand the danger of the transcendental world, this is because he did not understand the mystical realm of Hazel so strong sense of superiority of the judgment of the subjective, can not be determined for the time being, and the second is that he is not clear why the other side has extraordinary ability and magical items, good intentions to do a reminder to repay the other party’s last good deed, it is easy to attract unnecessary attention and even trouble.

　　After enjoying the peace of the night for a while, Klein re-entered the quilt and slept until dawn.

　　Before Richardson came in, he assumed the form of Germaine Sparrow and prayed to the Fool:

　　”…… I can take this quest, but whether successful or not, I want that bracelet a stone from you, and the use of that grimoire for a period of time.

　　”If successful, all the loot goes to me, and you can only take the target’s head.

　　”If necessary, you will also have to provide assistance.”
