Part 5 The Red Priestess Chapter 108 – “Tailor-made” Rituals
After thanking him, Klein immediately relinquished his control over Hwyn Lambeth, making it impossible for him to maintain his secret puppet state.
As a result, the demigod of the “audience” pathway fell to the ground and became a dead body.
Arianna looked down, and the darkness in her eyes deepened.
Hwyn Lambeth’s body was like a pencil drawing, erased inch by inch by an eraser, leaving only the icy blue metal cylinder.
Immediately afterward, a little bit of radiance seeped out of the void and flew together, forming a ball of peculiar things.
It was the size of a fist and resembled a heart, but its surface was covered with grayish-white folds, as if it were a different kind of brain, and on each of the folds, countless symbols and strange patterns overlapped and extended, penetrating into the surrounding environment, connecting to a world that was difficult for other extraordinary people to see.
This is the legacy of the Manipulator.
Ms. Arianna quickly extracted the extraordinary properties of Hwyn Lambeth through the process of cloaking and counter-cloaking …… Klein was stunned for a second and then realized something.
At that moment, Arianna said with a calm expression:
”The mental imprints inside were all removed.”
”Thank you, Ms. Arianna.” Klein was not surprised at all and saluted as if he had prepared for it.
The reason he gave up the secret puppet so decisively was that he foresaw that something similar would happen next.
In fact, his original plan was to get Hwyn Lambeth in a secret puppet state on top of the gray mist, so that he could take the “Cross of No Darkness” and analyze the “Manipulator”, “Dreamwalker”, and “Hypnotist” step by step, “Hypnotist” and other extraordinary traits. In this way, not only will Ms. Justice no longer have to worry about where to buy materials before she becomes a demigod, even her family’s extraordinary dog will have a chance to be upgraded… -Before Audrey slightly mentioned to Dawn Dantes, said that she could get rid of Hwyn Lambeth’s control, Suzie’s credit is the second largest.
But then Klein considered that bringing Hwyn Lambeth to the Gray Mist could not be done in this hidden world under Arianna’s watchful eye, which would directly expose the fact that he was the Fool, and once he left this place, no matter where he “teleported”, there was a possibility that Hwyn Lambeth could be killed by the Fool’s “teleportation”, and the Fool’s “teleportation” could not be done by the Fool. Once he left this place, no matter where he “teleported” to, he might be discovered by Adam due to the existence of Hwyn Lambeth.
In that case, it would be better to give up the secret puppet in front of Arianna, at least the angel would be able to help Kraven remove the mental imprint of the extraordinary characteristics.
And this didn’t affect Klein’s original plan, he could completely find some random materials, make Hwyn Lambeth’s Extraordinary Characteristics into a questionable magic potion, and then pour it onto an ordinary item, allowing it to produce a mutation by absorbing the magic potion.
After obtaining such a sealed object, and then tying the “Cross of Darkness” to it, and grasping the time well, the corresponding extraordinary characteristics could be analyzed step by step.
As for the spiritual pollution generated during the process, there is no need to worry, the “Darkness-less Cross” can also be purified!
Watching Klein picking up the extraordinary properties of Hwyn Lambeth, but unable to fit it into the iron cigarette case, so he casually stuffed it into his pocket, Arianna cast her eyes towards the ice blue metal cylinder, and said in a not too fast but not too slow voice:
”It comes from the stars, you’d better not use it, even carry it as much as possible, otherwise, there will be eyes projected onto you, making you unknowingly suffer from contamination and deformity.”
”From the stars?” Klein was inexplicably familiar with this description.
Soon, he remembered the source of the familiarity:
It originated from the prophecy of “Yellow Light” Venetan about the end of days recorded in the Abraham family’s “Spiritual Insights”:
”Watch from the stars, and the earth will be torn apart, and all that is in the world will cease to exist.”
Doomsday …… What is the origin of this seal in relation to the source of doomsday? What exactly does the starry sky represent here? And what is the relationship with the Star Realm? A series of questions formed in Klein’s mind, causing his expression to freeze.
Facing his questions, Arianna nodded gently:
”Yes, the starry sky.”
”Is it the starry sky above our heads?” Klein raised his hand and pointed to the deep black night screen set with a huge red moon.
”Yes.” Arianna replied in the affirmative without explaining further.
Klein pondered and asked again:
”There are many malice-filled existences there, existences that seek to destroy this world?”
Arianna’s gaze swept over his face, finally resting at his eyes:
”I cannot give you an answer.
”There are things that the more you know, the easier it is to be ‘infected’, from body to soul, and when you become an angel, then you can probe for specific answers.”
The more you know, the easier it is to be ‘infected’ …… Klein had a cold feeling in his back for a long time.
–About the matter of which seals Hwyn Lambeth possessed, he did not ask “Magic Mirror” Aroldus beforehand, fearing to leave traces and be detected by Adam.
In the face of such a king of angels, can not be too cautious!
Seeing that Arianna would not reveal anything else, Klein turned to point at the ice blue metal cylinder and said:
”What should I do with this item?”
The description of the ascetic leader opposite him made him a little afraid to bring this sealed object above the gray mist to “sterilize” it.
Arianna calmly said:
”My suggestion is to sacrifice it to the goddess and combine it with your previous contributions to get what you want.”
Klein nodded with a small amplitude:
”I understand.”
After he expressed his thanks again, Arianna’s figure flew away to be erased and disappeared inside Red Moon’s immense to unnatural dark garden.
And the hidden world did not disintegrate.
Klein watched silently for a few seconds, thoughtfully took out the candles and other ritual items he had with him, quickly set up an altar, and sacrificed the icy blue metal cylinder to the “Goddess of the Night”.
At the end of the ceremony, the burning ashes of the herbs and the surrounding soil rose up in the gusty wind and fell onto the empty space of the altar.
These ashes and dirt connected with each other to form word after word:
”Sequence 3, Ancient Scholar;
”Primary Material: a pair of eyes from the Dog of Fugen (also known as the Keeper of the Source Castle) and a flocculated heart from the Demon Wolf of the Mist;
”Secondary materials: 100 milliliters of blood from the Hound of Fugen, 30 grams of White Frost Crystals from the Demon Wolf of Mist, and a large number of authentic ancient historical records ……
”Promotion Ritual: Complete detachment from reality for at least three hundred years, taking a magic potion after one has become history and does not belong to the current era.”
This …… Klein couldn’t help but blink, suspecting that he had misread the description.
The description of not belonging to the current era reminded him directly of one of his honored names:
”The Fool who does not belong to this age!”
I have been suspended over that strange light door for more than three hundred years …… In a sense, have I already counted myself as having completed the ritual, just waiting for the final dose of the magic potion? The mysterious space above the gray mist is really closely related to the “Diviner” pathway. …… Is it a derivation of “uniqueness”? Klein was both delighted and grave for a moment because he didn’t know what kind of price such a “gift” had been labeled.
Whew, to become an angel that step, I really want to jump to the adjacent path, not according to the planned path to go …… For the other “trick mage”, this promotion ceremony should be the biggest difficulty is how to live for more than three hundred years, after all, this is not a long life to be famous for the way! …… Also, three hundred years out of reality is really easy to make people go crazy, in itself is at the forefront of the split personality of the “Trickster”, the danger of crazy out of control will not be too small …… Klein looked at the “Ancient Scholar” magic potion formula, the thoughts within his mind were so varied that it was difficult to contain them.
I don’t know how long it took, but he finished the ceremony and put away the corresponding items.
As he walked towards the outside of the garden, the huge red moon and the darkness of the night faded and disappeared one by one.
Then he saw a single flower that belonged to the fall season, the sunlight that poured over them, and the blonde girl waiting between the house and the garden.
Joy came into Audrey’s eyes and the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned upward.
Klein nodded to her, and his figure was steeped in crimson flames.
Elsewhere in the garden, the same stream of flame rose into the air, but it was not obvious.
By the time the flames cleared, Germaine Sparrow’s figure was gone, and the remnants of the red moon and the night had disappeared completely.
Audrey was lost in thought for a few seconds, withdrew her eyes thoughtfully, and entered Viscount Graylingt’s mansion.
When she took Suzie and the servants, took the carriage to leave, back to their own homes, have a chance to be alone, and received a “world” of “meet” invitation.
……
Above the gray mist, inside the palace.
”Justice” Audrey asked, not so eagerly, as she looked at Germaine Sparrow, “The World”:
”What is Hwyn Lambeth’s true purpose?”
She had known that Hwyn Lambeth had already been dealt with from Germaine Sparrow’s calm and collected behavior earlier.
Crane answered frankly:
”One is to investigate whether Hugh and Forsyth were behind their actions, and the other is to keep you from being a hindrance by hints during the princes’ display of proximity to the Earl of Hall’s family, which is essentially a diversion of the three churches.”
This aspect of the matter had long been discussed between Audrey and Mr. World across the table, and not needing to seek additional explanations, she turned to the question:
”Then why would Hwyn Lambeth, a demigod, personally come to me?”
Klein smiled and said:
”To conceal from the guards arranged by Earl Hall, and to assuredly hypnotize a ‘Hypnotist’ without generating additional commotion, Sequence 5 may not be possible, so it is most appropriate to directly have a demigod come out, and you know Hwyn Rambis, have had contact with him, and have the least amount of defense against him. ”
”Frankly, if you hadn’t been cautious enough and had Susie as an undetected helper, the whole thing would have gone off without you or I realizing it until next Monday.”
”Justice,” Audrey said with a half-smile and half-sigh as she didn’t bother to put on her thick mask, with slightly more mixed emotions:
”So I’m already this powerful ah ……”
It takes a demigod to be able to deal with it with great certainty.
”Even more powerful than I thought, you actually hypnotized a Demigod, a Demigod who specializes in hypnosis.” Klein praised with a smile.
Audrey unconsciously pursed her lips and brought on a slight smile:
”That was mainly relying on the ‘Luck Stealer’ charm you gave me, well, my ‘Hypnotist’ magic potion seems to have been thoroughly digested as a result …… “
