Part 4 The Undead Chapter 96 The Music of the Night
Klein drew up a dream for himself based on 160 Birklund Street, pinched a number of beautiful women to put in, surrounded by Dawn Dantes, perfectly portraying the image of a knowledgeable and experienced but for the sake of publicity had to endure in the real world only in the dream can be indulged in a little bit of the rich man.
Sitting on the sofa, receiving the red wine handed by a young girl, Klein had not yet had time to taste it when he realized that his surroundings had changed abruptly, from a brightly lit villa with elegant decorations and many beautiful women to a dark, damp and dirty sewer.
Immediately afterward, he saw five more familiar sticks of dynamite in his hand.
Isn’t this what I planted earlier? Klein was first stunned, then pretended to be startled, busily threw the explosives away, and looked around warily.
Seeing nothing else out of the ordinary, he took a step backward, groped for a vertical metal ladder, and climbed decisively and quickly upward, moving the manhole cover and leaving the sewer.
As he returned to Birklund Street, the whole dream fragmented at once, awakening him.
Crane opened his eyes and looked up at the ceiling with its gold trim in the near-lightless room, reflecting on the encounter he had just had:
”This was done by that ‘stealer’ way demigod?
”He escaped the night watchman’s pursuit and remained hidden in the neighborhood, channeling dreams one by one in search of a target for fear that the ‘Black Emperor’, who had exposed his trail, would reappear?
”Quite possibly! If not I can stay awake and rational in the dream of someone invading, just now have been subconsciously driven to repeat the process of planting explosives to detonate the warning, after all, this is what has been done and remembered ……
”Fortunately, I have summarized the code of ‘Secret Puppet Masters should try to hide behind the curtain’, no matter exploring the sewers or meeting with Tris, relying on the Secret Puppets, even if I had to go over there in person because of the lack of distance, it was also the spirit body that was used, and it was turned around once through the gray mist, and I also carried with me an interference snooping and divination items, making it impossible to find out who the real manipulator is, otherwise, it would have been discovered and targeted long ago, and even if he didn’t die as a result, he would have already fled from Berkland in a mess.”
Thinking of this, Klein was glad that he didn’t know what secrets were hidden in the sewers, and didn’t even think that there would be demigods, but he still adhered to the code of the “Master of Secret Puppets”, and demanded strict self-requirement, and thus, he managed to avoid the tragedy of his “performance” being exposed. Birkeland is a dangerous place.
Beckland is really a dangerous place, a little carelessness will be a problem …… Klein sighing, only to feel that their own “Secret Puppet Master” magic potion unconsciously has been digested a little.
When his mood calmed down, he said in his heart “Hey”:
”It seems that that person is still in Birklund Street ah, most likely hidden in Hazel’s home, or even her side.
”Oh, if this demigod had invaded my dream world a minute or two earlier, he would have been able to see the ‘Serpent of Destiny’, Will Onsettin, although this Sequence 1 Angel is in a weak stage, but that is only relative to Uroelius relative to the rest of the Angels, against a person who even directly ‘parasitized’ Hazel, he would have been able to see the ‘Serpent of Destiny’. ‘parasitic’ Hazel couldn’t do, it shouldn’t be too difficult, not to mention the other abilities, just revealing the full mythological creature form could cause serious damage to the one who was also very weak.
”I bet Will Onsettin had some foreknowledge ahead of time, that’s why he picked such a time period and managed to avoid something like being bumped into by other demigods.
”It’s a pity that we can’t make that ‘Stealer’ Demigod understand how dangerous it is to invade the Dream Realm at will in Bekrande. …… Leonard surely has a deep understanding of this aspect… …”
Klein collected his thoughts and pretended that nothing had happened, and with the help of meditation, he re-entered a deep sleep.
When the sun rose in the sky, he woke up naturally, rolled over and sat up, taking on the appearance of Germaine Sparrow, and muttered a prayer:
”…… Please tell Ms. ‘The Hidden One’ that that angel has accepted the offer of ‘a way to briefly regain a certain amount of strength during a period of weakness’, promising to make a deal at the end of end of June and beginning of July for the transaction.
”You can ask Bernadette when I can meet her once more.”
Prayer finished, Klein transformed back into Dawn Dantes, got up and went into the washroom to take care of his personal problems.
After brushing his teeth, washing his face, and becoming unusually refreshed, he took four steps backward into the gray mist, turned the prayer into an image, and threw it into the crimson star that symbolized “The Hidden One”.
……
On board the “Future”, which was docked at a port, “Star General” Gadelia watched Frank Lee step onto the dock with great anticipation, ready to find a place to sell some of his belongings to raise 8,000 pounds of cash to buy the “Druid” extraordinary trait, and couldn’t help but feel that he had to pay for the “Druid”. “Druid” extraordinary characteristics, could not help but raise her hand to hold her forehead, inexplicably a little less confident.
Although she asked herself level plus occult knowledge plus magical items, can be firmly suppressed to become a “druid” Frank Lee, but remembered the other party’s whimsical, as well as the horror of the practical ability, and feel that the problem will not be so simple, she does not want to grow a watermelon on the head, the body surface of the wheat to participate in the tarot meeting above the gray fog.
Fortunately, he does not have the “druid” magic potion formula, do not worry about him for the time being to promote the sequence 5 …… Gadelia pushed the glasses, self relieved sentence.
At that moment, the illusory gray fog in front of her eyes, ears ringing from the words of Germaine Sparrow.
That angel had agreed? “Above the stars will be,” Gadelia’s expression softened instantly, and her smile was hard to contain as she presented a small amount of it.
Once she obtained that drop of mythical creature blood, it meant that she was very close to the demigod level!
–She herself had the “Occultist” magic potion formula, and had already accumulated contributions and exchanged one of the main ingredients from the Moss Ascetic Society, and she also knew which channel had the remaining one, and what method to use to obtain it.
Wait until July, July …… Gadelia lips pursed, eyes from behind the thick glasses, slowly looked around the captain’s room.
……
On Thursday morning, Klein had just finished a Classics class when he heard the illusory cascade of prayers.
Entering the gray fog, he found that the supplicant was the “hermit” Gadelia.
The “General of the Stars” asked Mr. Fool to tell the “World” that the “Queen of Mysteries” had granted the request. The Queen of Mystery has agreed to meet him on the south bank of the Tasok River, near the entrance to the bridge, at 11:00 p.m. this evening, if he is in Belcoland.
Bernadette is still in Birkeland ah …… Klein manifested Germaine Sparrow, made a positive response.
At 10:58 p.m. he entered the lavatory and drew a paper figure from his coat pocket.
Snap!
Klein shook it, causing the paper man to transform into Dawn Dantes, seated on the toilet, book in hand, suspiciously out of his mind.
Then, out of nowhere, he was three or four centimeters shorter, his face thinned out, his lines much deeper, and he had transformed into Germaine Sparrow.
Immediately afterward, the glove he wore on his left palm became transparent, and there were countless illusory shadows presented within.
Klein whirled around and saw the colors around him first intensify, then differentiate and overlap in layers, while he himself faded and disappeared into the real world.
He quickly traveled through the spirit world, constantly adjusting his direction according to his orientation, and in just a few seconds, he appeared at the entrance of the Beckland Bridge on the south bank of the Tasok River.
At this time, the night was dark, no one was walking on the bridge, the surroundings were extremely quiet, and only a team of soldiers guarding the bridge could be seen standing not far away.
Klein was about to look for traces of the “Mysterious Queen” Bernadette, suddenly saw a green pea vines from the sky down, intertwined into a luxuriant and dense forest.
This “forest” can not be seen up to the top, a vine knot into different roads, or interspersed or circling, has been extended to the sky.
Klein was stunned for just a second, and then randomly found a pea vine winding out, hanging in the mid-air path, step by step forward.
After an unknown time, he saw the green plants connected to a hammock-like seat, gently swaying high above.
”There sat the Queen of Mystery, dressed in a white Intisian shirt and dark black jacket, a thin bayonet at her waist, and the standard sea captain’s attire, except for the lack of a tricorn hat.
She didn’t show just a pair of black leather boots, as she had done earlier in her encounter with Sherlock Moriarty in Berklend, and at that moment, with her long chestnut hair falling naturally down her back and her azure and deep eyes looking over, she spoke softly but without emotion:
”Thank the being behind you for me.”
To the “Fool” is still quite respectful, well, I answered a few questions before, should have solved a lot of her doubts …… wearing a Gelman Sparrow “mask” Klein polite responded:
”Okay.”
Bernadette’s eyes didn’t move as she continued to look at him and said:
”What do you want this time?”
Klein paused for a second and spoke the words he had already organized:
”I would like to ask for your help in presenting him in a state of being chronically eroded by the power of the sealed core behind the Black Night Church’s Charnis Gate.”
As he spoke, Klein made the “Spirit of Grievance” Seignior appear at his side.
Bernadette looked deeply at the “General of Blood” who was standing upright, did not ask Germaine Sparrow why she knew she had a solution, and said calmly:
”There is a difference between the sealing cores of the different churches of the Church of Darkness, and the state after being eroded is also different.
”Is it of the ‘Darkness’ pathway, or the ‘Death’ pathway, or something else?
”Is it a diocesan main church, or a general city center church?”
She directly eliminated the option of the Serenity Church, the headquarters of the Church of Darkness, because even the King of Angels wouldn’t dare to hit there.
Klein thought back and said:
”The main church of the diocese, the ‘Dark Night’ way.”
”The Queen of Mysteries,” Bernadette said with a slight nod:
”Then I can subject him to the appropriate erosion, but then this secret puppet of yours will also be basically destroyed, at the very beginning it can still be used normally, with the passage of time and the deepening of the erosion, he will gradually fall into a deep sleep, never waking up again.”
”Can you extend the time of complete erosion as long as possible?” Klein asked, holding back his heartache.
”The secret puppet of “General on Blood” Seniol was the most valuable of all his possessions!
Bernadette said with a flat expression:
”Two months at the longest.”
Klein struggled internally for two seconds and replied with little expression:
”Okay.”
He immediately pressed his hand to his chest and made a salute:
”Thank you for your help.”
”Mysterious Queen” Bernadette didn’t say another word, retracted her gaze, stretched out her right hand, and sketched out words in midair that were different from the Giant’s, Dragon’s, Elf’s, and Ancient Hermetic languages.
Those words had a starry glow, intertwined into strange symbols, and seemed to open a secret door to the depths of the spirit world.
The “secret door” opened and a wind blew out, transforming the upper half of his body into a man wrapped in white cloth.
”The Horn of Sleep.” Bernadette said in a soft but majestic voice.
The man with the upper body of a human and the lower body of a wind responded respectfully and removed a human skull from within one of the white cloths.
The skull’s eye sockets were so deep and dark that it was difficult to see the bottom, while the rest of the skull had hole after hole of varying shapes, with cracks nearby, and was as white as jade.
Bernadette took the “sleeping horn”, looked at Germaine Sparrow and said:
”You back off at least 50 meters.”
Without asking why, Klein left Seignior the Grievous Spirit where he was, and quickly walked away along the path made by the pea vines.
After 50 meters, he suddenly heard a long and quiet, sad and dark melody.
Subconsciously, Klein looked up and saw that in a place covered by pea vines, Bernadette was sitting with her back slightly bent, her chestnut hair lightly moving, her head buried low, and she brought the “human skull” to her mouth, letting one hole blow out air currents, weaving them into the music of the night.
That music with the power to calm people and a light sadness, a little spread out, but did not alarm the bridge guards outside the pea vine forest.
Klein stood there, listening attentively, thoughts of home suddenly welling up in his heart.
That is a traveler who has been wandering for a long time, the most eager and untouchable place to return to.
