Part 5: The Red Priestess Chapter 116: Online “Lessons”
Klein glanced at Leonard and smiled:
”None of those targets are demigods yet, they have only ‘lived’ until now because of certain influences, and that’s exactly the secret I want to explore through the dream world.”
He deliberately used an accent on the word ‘live’.
Without waiting for Leonard to respond, Klein continued on his own:
”That Quaternary nobleman is a member of the Zoroaster family, you may be able to use his dreams to know more about Parleys Zoroaster.”
The old man’s descendant …… Leonard’s heart stirred, and he became more and more excited about this matter proposed by Klein.
Although he had gotten along quite well with Palles Zoroaster and had gradually gained a certain amount of trust in this angel, there was always a minimum of caution within him, after all, it was an outsider and was still living in his body.
”Don’t mention this to Palles Zoroaster for now.” At that moment, Klein added.
In your perception, am I such an unreliable person? Leonard ventriloquized, and responded in an unfavorable manner:
”No need to remind.”
Seeing that Leonard had agreed, Klein smiled and said:
”When you go back and get a few drops of blood for me, this is the necessary preparation for exploring the dream realm.”
He did not specifically mention how to give him the blood, but Leonard had at least two ways, one was to sacrifice to Mr. “Fool” and ask him to give the “world”, and the other was to summon the messenger with mysterious origins, put the blood into a bottle, and deliver it together with a letter.
”Blood ……” Leonard subconsciously repeated the word.
In the occult, one’s own blood was a rather important and quite crucial thing, it was best not to hand it over to others so easily, or else one wouldn’t even know how to die, and there were times when death wasn’t even the most horrifying end.
After a short hesitation, Leonard nodded:
”When will the exploration begin?”
Klein replied, prepared:
”Sunday night, near midnight.”
He wanted to give Ms. Justice time to collect her spirit and master her abilities.
”Good.” Leonard didn’t say more.
Then, Klein carefully talked about the techniques in speech arts, so that it would be convenient for the poet classmate to perfume the old grandpa when he returned.
After returning to the real world, Leonard was deliberating on his words, when the slightly aged voice of Palles Zoroaster already resounded within his mind:
”What is that former colleague of yours looking for you for? What is it that you can’t account for in a letter?”
Leonard adjusted his sitting position and chuckled:
”He’s afraid that the correspondence will leak, after all, it might involve that person.”
Of course, Klein is mainly to watch out for you, what I see is the same as what you see …… The words just fell, Leonard muttered in his heart.
”The One ……” Palles Zoroaster seemed to have understood who was being pointed at.
”Uh-huh.” Leonard said as he picked up the glass on the table and took a sip of his ale, “He found an ascetic from the Third Age, hoping to peer into the history of that era through dream questing.”
Leonard was telling the truth here, but only part of the truth, which was the skill Klein had just focused on teaching.
”The ascetics of the Third Age, still alive?” Palles Zoroaster asked with a slight sense of dismay.
Of course, K wasn’t too surprised, after all, at K’s level, even if he hadn’t mastered a hundred ways to keep someone alive from the Third Age, there were still five or six, and the one that was the most smooth was to steal someone else’s time or life for the target.
”Should still be alive, but in a peculiar state.” Leonard said what he had learned.
Palles Zoroaster was silent for two seconds and laughed:
”In that case, then I can only wish that you don’t see scenes that you shouldn’t see in the dream world, of course, your former colleague is blessed by the Hidden Existence, and surely prepared for it.”
Leonard didn’t pick up on this topic and suddenly said with an “eek”:
”Old man, are you surprisingly not curious at all, don’t you want to know the reason for the Cataclysm, don’t you want to know what the Positive Gods really look like in the Third Age?”
This was the second discourse technique imparted by Klein, rather than being asked, it was better to take the initiative to ask someone.
”I was able to guess the general situation.” Palles Soloas replied in German with a sigh, and then let out a “heh”, “You’re taking too much initiative to master the pace of communication today, it’s not quite the same as your past performance, it shows that you’re hiding a certain amount of secrets in your heart, it’s not bad, it’s much better than before, at least it isn’t obvious at a glance. ”
”……” Leonard’s expression froze a little.
Parleys then hemmed and hawed:
”You see, I casually try, you exposed, or lack of exercise ah.
”Your ex-colleague is really, tsk ……”
Leonard could only respond with a dry smile, put down his cup, leaned forward, picked up a ceremonial silver dagger, and gestured to cut a wound, getting a few drops of blood out.
Meanwhile, at Earl Hall’s house, Audrey, who was ready to fulfill her promise of gratuitous help, also took the jewel-encrusted dagger and brought the tip to the back of her hand.
”This pain is very slight ……
”The pain is very slight ……” she “hypnotized” herself as she made a forceful cut.
–It was no longer possible to break through her current skin without force, even if she wasn’t displaying dragon scales.
……
Sunday night, after attending a ball, Klein returned to 160 Birklund Street and went to bed early, excusing himself as tired.
It was almost midnight when he rolled out of bed, set up the ritual, and summoned himself up.
After some hustle and bustle, he took his place in the “world” of Germaine Sparrow, and confirmed that once the summoning was over, he would be able to force his way out of Grocer’s Travels, relying on the layers and bits of gray mist.
At that moment, he had three metal vials and a silver and white mask in front of him.
The former contained his blood, Leonard’s blood and Audrey’s blood, and the latter was sacrificed by Audrey “Justice” in advance, because she already knew that this dream quest would involve Mr. “Star”, so she planned to wear the mask turned into a “lie” throughout. Because she already knew that Mr. Star would be involved in this dream quest, she planned to wear a “lie” mask throughout the whole process to hide her real face and avoid her identity being exposed.
After examining the book for a while, Klein let the hard cover and dark brown color of “Grosser’s Travels” fly out from the pile of clutter and landed on the bronze table, and at the same time, he accommodated the “Darkness-less Cross” into his body.
Immediately after that, he pulled Audrey “Justice” and Leonard “Star” onto the gray mist.
The two crimson colors rose up at the same time, coalescing into blurred figures.
Audrey “Justice” and Leonard “Star” cast their eyes to the bottom of the long mottled table, and looked at the items in front of Mr. “World”.
Then their attention was attracted to the old-looking volume.
Audrey’s eyes rolled in curiosity as she asked:
”This quest is related to this book?”
”Yes, our goal lies in this book.” Klein replied with a smile.
”In the book?” Leonard asked back with some surprise.
Even as a “Red Glove”, even though he had read a large number of extraordinary case files, he had never heard of being able to communicate with the characters in the book.
Klein nodded softly:
”Yes, it’s a magical book with an imaginary world ‘inside’, and certain things that happen in that world are the contents of the book.”
”Empty imagination?” “Justice,” Audrey grasped the key word keenly.
She had learned from Mr. World only a few days ago that the sequence 0 of the “Audience” pathway was called “Imagineer”, and she had known for a long time that the King of Dragons, the Ancient God Anglewild, had the title “Imagineer”. The title of the Dragon is “The Dragon of Ideas”.
Kraven deliberated:
”My description just now may not be accurate enough, that may be an imaginary world, or a real dream, the only thing that is certain is that it was made by the ancient god of the Second Age, the ‘Dragon of Empty Thoughts’, Anglewyld, and I got it from the ‘Lieutenant General of the Iceberg’ ‘ there.”
Ancient God’s relic …… No wonder it can make the giants and elves of the Second Era, the ascetics of the Third Era, the human nobles of the Fourth Era, and the soldiers of the Lune of the Fifth Era, live to this day …… “Stars” Leonard had a sudden realization, couldn’t help but look at the “world” Germaine Sparrow again, it was hard to imagine how much the other party had experienced since leaving Tingen.
At that moment, Klein looked around and pushed the “Lie” mask to Ms. “Justice” while speaking:
”Let’s go inside.”
”Okay.” Audrey “Justice” put the silver and white mask on her face.
”Stars” Leonard nodded as he glanced left and right each way:
”Good.”
Klein immediately picked up the three metal vials and poured out a little of the blood inside each, applying it to the cover of Groselle’s Travels.
”So this is what the blood is for ah ……,” Audrey had just flashed such a thought when a white blizzard suddenly appeared in front of her eyes.
In the goose feather snowflakes and piercing cold wind, a city with outer walls more than fifteen meters high stood not far away, and the guard soldiers wearing leather armor shrunk to the place where they could hide from the wind and snow, and as long as there was no merchant caravan, they were not willing to come up and stop ordinary pedestrians at all.
”This, this is the imaginary world …… is just like the real one.” “Stars,” Leonard while looking around, while spreading his palms and catching several snowflakes, only to feel that they are icy cold and soon melt into water.
Confirming the environment, Leonard suddenly realized one thing, that is, Klein kept the cold and gentlemanly Gelman Sparrow image, “Justice” Miss wearing a silver and white mask, revealing only the lower half of the face and turquoise eyes, blonde hair, so that people can not imagine the exact appearance.
As for himself, he did not do any disguise ……
This is also the habit of the official extraordinary people, they carry out their missions openly and honestly, no need to disguise.
”Mr. Star” is really loose, his hair is combed casually, which is such a pity, otherwise with his looks, he can go to be the cover of a magazine …… ” As a noble lady who has seen too many handsome men. Audrey politely glanced at Leonard and retracted her gaze without making too many observations.
Klein laughed darkly and pointed to the city in the wind and snow:
”Our first target is Mr. Snowman, an ascetic of the Third Age.”
This was the person most likely to involve the two Amon brothers!
According to Klein’s plan, Snowman was followed by Mobet, a noble of the Fourth Era, because in comparison, the giant Grosel and the elf Shatas were involved on a higher level and were more likely to have accidents, and it would be better if they were lined up at the back.
After exploring the subconscious of these four through the dream world, and then finally entering the collective subconscious sea of this world, looking for the secrets that may exist.
