Part 5 The Red Priestess Chapter 188 Mr. Gate
As Tris chanted, the jewels around her made a clicking sound one after another, shattered into powder, and floated up.
They shimmered with red, blue, green, or brilliant shimmering light, and quickly converged into a torrent, casting themselves towards the candle flame on the altar.
At the same time, the hair that had burned out in the cauldron joined the procession.
The flames swelled and intertwined, becoming darker and darker, as if they were an “illusory door” to other worlds.
Tris then felt the temperature around her plummet, and it seemed that countless dangers were seeping out of the fire.
A word instantly flashed through her mind, a warning from Germaine Sparrow:
”Watch out for Mr. ‘Gate.”
As expected of someone with a messenger of that level, his knowledge of Mr. Door and his grasp of my intentions may be even more in-depth and precise than I imagined… Tris took a slow breath and waited patiently for the subsequent change. Slowly, Tris took a breath and patiently waited for the subsequent changes.
In the time it took her to blink her eyes, she felt that the void in the room had “thinned” considerably, and there were many shadows in many places, as if there were a large number of unspeakable, strange and dangerous creatures hiding in the background.
The dark, expanding firelight slowly turned into a huge, deep, dark scarlet vortex.
Between the swirling vortexes, an ethereal but piercing voice finally came out from the bottom:
”…… Chick?”
As soon as she heard the voice, the veins in the corners of Tris’s forehead jumped straight up, and her head felt as if a million steel needles had been stuck into it and were frantically poking and prodding at the stirring steel needles.
Her black hair raised up on its own without the wind, each one a little thicker, while the skin of her face became transparent, and her veins protruded one after another, densely packed like a spider’s web.
With a great deal of effort, Tris finally got herself under control, and heard the voice that was enough to make most extraordinary people gradually lose control of themselves laugh lowly:
”It seems to be Chick’s favorites ……
”The ones who looked at the second ‘Blasphemous Tablet’ …… together in the first place and managed to survive beyond Sequence 1 …… until now… …there should only be the ‘Artisan’, Chick, and me left ……”
Tris didn’t bother to pay attention to Mr. “Gate’s” exclamation, and spoke with an expression that was hard to hide the distortion:
”Dear Mr. ‘Door’, I have something I want to ask you.”
”Speak …… The years lost in the darkness trapped within the storm are too boring …… It’s rare that someone can accompany me for a chat …… “Still within the slowly rotating ethereal vortex, the terrifying voice responded without much change.
Tris’ face muscles involuntarily twitched a few times, still a bit unable to adapt to the voice that could be called the ravings of an evil god.
She slowed down for a few seconds before saying:
”…… I would like to know if there is an unnatural way to enter the nine secret mausoleums that ‘Blood Emperor’ Tudor built in the first place for his promotion to ‘Black Emperor’. ”
Mr. “Door”, who did not know where he was and who had transmitted his voice across the endless void, let out a fluttering laugh:
”So it’s for this matter ……
”It’s not difficult ……I’ll give you a symbol ……You collect the blood of all the extraordinary people from different paths, mix them together ……with spirituality Stained with it, in front of the mausoleum, depict that symbol within the void, and you will be able to open the hidden passageway to the inside ……”
As this being spoke, the dark vortex separated into sparks that formed a rather complex symbol in midair.
It was like a door cascading wrongly in order from largest to smallest, with no end in sight.
Tris forced herself to endure the pain that tore through her spiritual body, memorized the symbol, and then sought up confirmation:
”There must be all twenty-two extraordinary pathways?
”Each pathway requires the blood of only one extraordinary, no matter how many he sequences?
”How much blood is required for each pathway?”
”Door,” replied Mr. Still in the same raving state he had been in a few moments before:
”Yes …… it doesn’t take much …… a small tube will do …… guaranteed to depict that symbol… …”
Although Tris’s expression was distorted by her pain, she, who had received the crucial information, couldn’t help but curl up the corners of her mouth at this moment and show a slight smile.
This combined with her overall expression looked very strange, making her look like a madman.
After accomplishing her main purpose, Tris once again opened her mouth to ask in order for the subsequent cooperation with Germaine Sparrow to go smoothly:
”The Abrahams want to know how to get rid of the ancient curse on their bodies.”
The dark vortex was silent for several seconds and sighed:
”Setting up such a ritual …… in the ‘Diviner’, ‘Apprentice’, and ‘Stealer ‘ pathway demigods each as a sacrifice …… When I am out of the storm and have penetrated the darkness …… then the curse will cease to exist …… ”
Tris is not interested in how the Abrahams family can get rid of the ancient curse, and after getting the answer, she can no longer hold back, and starts to abort the ceremony while thanking Mr. “Door”.
Mr. Door did not try to compel, threaten or contaminate her.
When the dark vortex of firelight dissolved and the ritual was over, Tris began to meditate, spending nearly an hour calming the effects of Mr. Door’s ravings on her.
Once that was done, Tris fished out a pen and paper and reproduced the symbol provided by Mr. Door, describing in detail the answers to the two questions.
Knowing that she was being tracked by Katrina, the “White Virgin”, and that there seemed to be even more terrifying hunters waiting behind her, it would be difficult for her to have the opportunity to collect the blood of the extraordinary people from the different paths as soon as possible, and so she was going to leave it in the hands of Germaine Sparrow.
In addition, she thought that even if George III and the others believed that the secret mausoleum was no longer a problem and was safe enough to leave too many guards, there must still be the necessary defenses inside, not something that she, who was only Sequence 4, could quickly break through to complete the destruction, and in that case, it would be intercepted by reinforcements and lose the best opportunity.
Gelman Sparrow even messengers are in the angelic level, the strength of the organization behind can be imagined, they have enough ability to destroy the mausoleum at the critical moment, so that the “Black Emperor” ceremony failed.
If you can’t do it yourself, you have to get help from those who are capable of doing it!
After putting the letter into the mailbox of the nearby neighborhood, Tris, who was wearing a black coat over her black dress and black hair, walked slowly on the cold, cold and dim road, looking at the light of the gas lamps, and laughed as if she were mocking herself:
”It’s amazing how far I’ve come, step by step, for a little bit of unwillingness ……
”You are lucky, at least there is I will avenge you ……
”And if I die, except for those who hate me, no one will remember me ……”
……
After receiving Tris’s letter from the messenger lady, Klein sat down in his chair and read it several times over.
Before going above the gray mist to divine the authenticity of Mr. “Door’s” method, he subconsciously thought about how quickly he could collect all twenty-two extraordinary pathways of blood:
”This symbol is very close to the one behind the back of Ms. ‘Magician’s’ chair …… ‘Diviner’ can use his own …… ‘Apprentice’ to find Ms. ‘Magician’ and incidentally give her some writing pressure …… There are three options for the ‘Stealer’ pathway: secret puppet a mosquito to bite Hazel; get it from the third mate of ‘Lieutenant General Iceberg’ who is called ‘Flower Bowtie’; and ask Leonard’s old grandpa to Give it to ……
”‘Audience’ way, Miss ‘Justice’ …… ‘Songwriter’ Pathway, Little ‘Sun’ …… ‘Storm’ Pathway, Mr. ‘Inverted Hangman’ …… ‘The Reader’ pathway, ‘Lieutenant General Iceberg’ or the demigod called Luca …… ‘Secret Prayer Man’, look for Ms. ‘The Hidden One’ second mate, Heath Doyle the ‘Bloodless’ ……
”‘Body Collector’ pathway, Spirit Order Patrick Blaine …… ‘Sleepless One’ pathway, fellow poet …… ‘Warrior’ pathway, most of the population of Silver City or Father Utrafsky ……
”‘The Plowman’, Frank …… ‘The Apothecary’, Emlyn ……
”‘Arbiter’, Ms. Hugh …… ‘Lawyer’, Secret Puppet Chunas… …
”‘Hunter’, Danez or Anderson …… ‘Witch’, let Tris provide her own… …
”‘Prisoner’, Ms. Sharon or Maric …… ‘Criminal’, which is not available at the moment… …
”‘Secret Snooper’, Ms. ‘The Hidden One’ …… ‘The Generalist’. Frank’s lab assistant ……
”‘The Monster,’ Secret Puppet Enjuni ……
”So it seems that the vast majority of them can be obtained in a very short period of time, and the corresponding channels trust me enough to believe that I won’t take the blood and curse them …… Tris, the witch, surely has a way of removing the link between the blood and the being, and won’t object to it… …Only the ‘demons’, although I’ve encountered a few of them already, have died and fled, and currently lack an alternative to choose from ……
”Hmm, ask little ‘Sun’ if Silver City has any stockpiles of demonic flesh and blood, they encounter it on their side from time to time ……”
Not wanting to know, upon such careful consideration, Klein realized that he had crossed over less than two years ago, and had surprisingly established deeper connections with most of the Sequencers of the Extraordinary Path.
He immediately collected his scattered thoughts and seriously thought about Mr. “Gate’s” escape ritual:
”To sacrifice one of each of the ‘Stealer’, ‘Apprentice’, and ‘Diviner’ demigods . …These are the three pathways that are interchangeable …… Is Mr. ‘Gate’ trying to open the pathway of return in a clever way through a temporary composite of the three pathways?
”…… The demigods of all three pathways are not that easy to catch, it was possible to do it when the Abrahams family was in its heyday, and there is basically no hope for the High Sequencers after they died out in the ‘Battle of the Four Emperors’ and the corresponding fallout ……
”Mr. ‘Gate’ is not without hope if he can be patient and give the family descendants more time to grow, but why is k still calling for help unceasingly, shouting the deaths of one potential offspring after another ……
”k can’t have gone crazy, can he? Crazy like a normal person on the outside?”
Klein pondered for a while, burned the letter paper, went above the gray mist, and did two divinations.
The revelations he received were that the way to enter the secret mausoleum was true, and that Mr. Door’s return ceremony was also true.
Looking at the pendulum in his hand, Klein sat silently in his high-backed chair for a while.
After an interval of several minutes, he pulled and clutched the citrine pendant in his left hand and whispered to himself:
”Just waiting for the ‘Trickster Mage’ magic potion to be thoroughly digested and George III to perform the ceremony ……”
