Part 5 Red Priest Chapter 193 Another Form of Companionship
Above the boundless gray mist, Klein’s figure appeared within the ancient palace.
He simply looked around and noticed several differences.
Among them, the most obvious point was that the state and layout of this mysterious space was completely projected into his spiritual body, allowing him to see the grayish clouds of qi condensing in mid-air and that strange door of light even from a long distance away.
Except for this palace that I materialized and the light door that originally existed, there is nothing here, empty, boundless, and filled with high level power …… Klein, in the middle of a whisper, sat down, raised his right hand, and gently rested it upwards.
In an instant, the entire gray fog boiled, and the mysterious space it carried inexplicably shook, emitting one slightly dim light after another.
These light flashes gathered together and condensed into a translucent angel with illusory wings on its back according to Klein’s mind, an angel with the corresponding bit and power, a majestic and holy angel with great oppressive power.
”There is no need to attach the ‘Black Emperor’ card, the ‘Tyrant’ card or the ‘Red Priest’ card, nor is there any need to resort to the ‘Scepter of Neptune’. Neptune’s Scepter’, just by myself, I can pry the might of this mysterious space to the greatest extent possible and make the ‘Fool’s’ angel a true Sequence 2 angel, which, of course, can’t answer prayers, can’t be sustained for too long, and only exists for the duration of the ‘Embrace ‘ and a few attacks with some of the abilities of the ‘Miracle’ realm ……
”Sure enough, I was able to be resurrected all because of the gift of the ‘Source Fortress’, exactly how many more times I can be resurrected, I can’t come to a conclusion right now, if I can get a ‘0’ level sealing object, and borrow it’s bits and pieces to observe, I should be able to see clearly …… Consider that there is at most one more time, counting less is not a bad thing, this reminds me to be cautious and careful enough …… This is the way of survival for extraordinary people of the ‘diviner’ pathway ……
”Unfortunately, this ‘miracle’ can only work on yourself for now ……
”Well, the maximum degree refers to the current, in order to truly own and control this mysterious space, you must at least become an angel, or even a Sequence 1 angel, not bad for a ‘source fortress’, as for that strange light door, the requirements may be higher, whether there is any lurking danger can not be seen at the moment ……
”What is the significance of the existence of the ‘Source Fortress’? ‘Fishing’ for travelers and resurrecting that original Creator?” With a slight flick of his right hand, Klein made the holy and powerful angel dissipate in mid-air.
The entire “Source Castle” then calmed down.
Then, Klein stood up and took a step onto the gray cloud that was frozen in mid-air, and stood in front of the strange light door made up of countless balls of light.
That light door was stained with a little greenish-black color, and the essence of each light ball was transparent and translucent worms that had merged into a ball.
Gazing at those transparent “cocoons” suspended by a thin black thread, Klein poked out his right hand and slowly reached for the door, trying to touch it.
One inch, two inches, three inches, his hand finally touched the edge of the door, but penetrated through, as if it was only a phantom.
However, compared to the previous attempts, the illusory light door was significantly thicker, and seemed to be on the verge of having a solid body.
Is this an item that represents the essence of the “Source Castle”? After pondering for a few seconds, Kraven turned around and returned to the ancient palace.
Without delay, he left the gray mist and began to experiment with his newly acquired abilities.
”First, I have to get an honorific name …… Sequence 3 Receive Prayer gives an answer to the scope of an area, which is different in size depending on their respective authority, and it’s obvious that the ‘Sea King’ is the type with a larger territory …… So, my honorific name has to have a range qualification too, protector of all the poor children of Birkeland? That feels weird ……
”Well, while others have to have such a qualification, I may not, I can replace it with ‘Dependent of the Spirit Realm and the Source Castle’, the Dependents belonging to these two places together should only be me at the moment, it’s unique enough so that as long as they’re in the same city or region as I am, they’ll be able to send their prayers to me through this honorific name. I prayed.
”There’s no way to do it if you’re not in the same region, I can’t split a few ‘Spirit Worms’ above the gray mist like I did when I threw the ‘Scepter of Neptune’ above the gray mist, and with the help of the ‘Source Castle ”s realm, the world-wide response …… Although I can’t confirm the relationship between the ‘Dark Angel’ and the Ancient Sun God, it’s enough to warn me to be careful of my own detachments and secret puppets, and it’s not just a matter of dividing a few of them, the I have to leave the vast majority of the ‘Spirit Worms’ in the ‘Source Fortress’ to achieve the effect, and I simply don’t have the ability to do that ……
”By the way, my mental state is not bad, I have no split personality, I have not become cold and scary in an uncontrollable way, which means that the ‘Ancient Scholar’s’ imprint in history is his anchor point …… Also, the Great One became an Angel, and this condition only became serious. Angel, this situation only became serious and had to rely on believers to be anchors and provide positioning, I’m still a big bit short …… have to gather what else can be anchors besides believers, just in case …… “Klein’s thoughts In the midst of the flurry of thoughts, he took out a pen and paper.
He then put pen to paper and wrote down the first description of the honorable name:
”Favorite of the Spirit World and the Source Castle.”
After thinking about it, he began to write the second and third paragraphs with his rich experience and knowledge of the Divine Pattern’s feedback:
”Originating from ancient mysteries;
”Witnesses of a long history.”
Because Sequence 3 wasn’t a true god and couldn’t use a three-paragraph description, Klein considered for a moment and added two more sentences:
”Protector of magic and theatrical performances;
”The great Germaine Sparrow.”
In fact, non-True Gods could also use a three-part description, but one of the paragraphs had to be based on a True God’s personality, for example, Kline could use “The Favorite of the Goddess of the Night” – in this case, it was essentially closer to a summoning incantation than a prayer, similar to a messenger. If the messenger is a creature of the spirit world, there is no need to restrict which god’s favored one it is, so what is summoned is often unknown and quite dangerous.
After deliberating for a while, Klein maneuvered his secret puppet, Enyuni, and chanted the honorific name he had just written in the ancient Hermetic language.
After a few seconds, Klein raised his right hand and rubbed the corner of his forehead with an odd expression.
He didn’t “hear” the prayer.
”Where did this honorific name go wrong?” Klein very carefully scrutinized it a few times, and gradually came up with an idea, “I may not be the only Favorite in the Spirit World and the Source Castle, and the Dogs of Fugen count as well …… must be added as a qualifier ……”
After a revision, the secret puppet Enyuni chanted again in ancient Hermetic language:
”Favorites of the Spirit World and the Source Castle;
”Originating from ancient mysteries;
”Witnesses to a long history;
”Protector of the magical and dramatic shows of Bekrand;
”The great Germaine Sparrow.
”I pray for your favor and for you to illuminate the darkness before me.”
As soon as Enyuni’s words were out of his mouth, Klein heard his prayer, and it was only heard by a few of these “Spirit Worms”, and it didn’t affect what he was doing instinctively at all.
This is different from the prayers conveyed by the “Source Castle”, very clear …… Klein’s thoughts, his “Spirit Worms” according to the provisions he had made in advance, gave a response.
In a flash, the secret puppet En Yuni eyes jumped up a ball of fire, which floated in mid-air, illuminating the entire room.
It is not bad …… If you pray in Hermes, you must set up the ritual and depict the symbols …… As for the essential oils and herbs, it is fine to have them, and it does not matter if they are not there, am I the one who will be pleasured by this kind of thing? The symbol consists of a scroll representing history, a full eye representing testimony, and a curve symbolizing change …… Klein has no intention of spreading the name for the time being, after all, it would signal that Germaine Sparrow has become a Sequence 3, depriving him of a card, and he himself has the “Poseidon” and “Fool” to play. Moreover, he himself has two vests, “Poseidon” and “Fool”, the new name is not important.
Snap!
Klein snapped his fingers and lit the paper on the table with Germaine Sparrow’s honorific name written on it.
”The ‘Ancient Scholar’ also has the means to create fog and lower the temperature, but it’s not part of the core ability …… Next, I’ll have to try summoning images from the orifices of history… who’s the first bit looking for? ” In a wordless self-talk, Klein suddenly sighed.
He whirled around and half-closed his eyes, and with the help of his divinity, he allowed some of his spirit to enter the gray mist and travel through history.
Following the various localizations established earlier, Klein instantly came to a spot of light.
Inside that spot of light was a spacious, bright, room with two rows of floor-to-ceiling windows, and inside the room, a man in a dark red jacket with embroidered gold threads was standing by the window, looking out at the setting sun.
He must have been only in his mid-thirties in appearance, with long, slightly curly chestnut-colored hair, blue eyes, a high nose, thin lips, and two small, neatly groomed beards, and was quite good-looking.
Rossel Gustav.
……
NORTHERN DISTRICT, ON A STREET A young man with a thin face, a broad forehead, and a monocle was sitting in a wayside café, holding a fountain pen and thinking hard.
He raised his other hand and squeezed the monocle, finally putting down his pen to write down a paragraph:
”The Spirit World and the Dependents of the Source Castle ……”
Then the fountain pen paused and did not move again, as if it had not yet figured out what to write next.
……
In the East End, in his two-bedroom rental, Klein took out his gold-cased pocket watch and pressed it open to look at it.
He had made an appointment with Ms. Sharon and Maric to meet tonight in an unoccupied house.
After thinking about it, Klein raised his right hand and made a false grab in front of him.
In his palm, there was instantly an ancient brass-colored key.
This was the “universal key” that had once helped him defeat Steve the Grievous Spirit, prevented the arrival of the “real Creator”, and allowed people to hear the ravings of Mr. Door on the night of the full moon. “The Master Key.
Now, Klein had summoned it back from the historical orifice, and it would last ten minutes.
”Oh, to the ‘Ancient Scholar’, as long as one has owned and used the items, no matter whether they are finally sold, returned, destroyed, or lost for various reasons, they are not really lost, they are just accompanied by the ‘Ancient Scholar’ in a different form They are just another form of companion to the ‘Ancient Scholar’s’ side. …… “Looking at the “Universal Key” in his hand, Klein sighed in his heart with a slight sense of fulfillment.
With this item, if Klein could master the corresponding rituals, he would be able to speak directly with Mr. Gate.
Putting away the “master key”, he put on his double-breasted tweed coat, put on his silk hat, picked up his gold-encrusted cane, and walked out of the room.
