The Red Priests Chapter 187 – Chanting

　　In the area of Birkeland Bridge, Klein found the man who was seduced by Tris to help her “send and receive” letters according to the location provided by the messenger lady.

　　However, Klein did not enter the apartment, nor did he disturb his target, and continued walking with his hands in the pockets of his black trench coat.

　　Illuminated by gas lamps, he made his way to an intersection and turned into another neighborhood.

　　During this process, a rat that was stealing food from one of the buildings suddenly shuddered.

　　It immediately abandoned the cheese and traveled along its usual “passageway” in the opposite direction from Klein, approaching the target area.

　　Then, from a hidden corner, the mouse opened its mouth and uttered a human voice:

　　”Favorite of the sea and the spirit world, protector of the Rothschild Archipelago, ruler of underwater creatures, controller of tsunamis and storms, the great Kavituva …….”

　　As soon as the rat’s voice fell, Klein, who had already turned into another street, disappeared, leaving only a flash of fire in his place that quickly dispersed.

　　He used the “flame jump”, but not as a way to catch up, but to enter the reserved hotel room, and one of his secret puppets to meet, so do not have to worry too much about being sensed by the Charatu, and therefore encountered accidents, after all, the target is clear, the distance is very short, and there is protection.

　　Inside the room, Klein took four steps against the grain to get above the gray mist as his secret puppet, Enyuni, watched.

　　He sat down at the top of the bronze table, and took in the Scepter of Poseidon, and with the help of the Prayer Points of Light, he observed the target’s situation through the True Vision. –The man who was relaying messages for the witch Tris.

　　After a few minutes, Renette Tignicole appeared in the apartment as promised, took the gold coins, and left the envelope on the table.

　　Once again, the man cringed in fear, but eventually overcame his fear, picked up the epistle, and weighed it.

　　A quarter of an hour later, he took out the black paste-like mass with great care, separated a small piece, and applied it to the surface of the mirror.

　　Soon he saw in the darkened mirror the maiden who occupied all his beautiful dreams, and busied himself with speaking:

　　”That mad adventurer has just sent a letter, which seems to contain something else, and, as you commanded, I did not open it to read it.”

　　At this time, the image seen by Krynn above the gray mist began to appear divine.

　　In his line of sight, the mirror itself had become blurred, closer to a dark and illusory channel that was not real enough, and it was connected to similar things in the surrounding area, forming a complex and abstract “spider web” that intertwined a deep and strange “world”.

　　Klein, who relied on the gray fog to gain “true vision”, could barely see the general state clearly, but could not distinguish the details, and wondered if there were strange and terrifying creatures lurking inside that “world”.

　　”In the occult, mirrors are often given the symbolic significance of leading to another ‘kingdom’ and are mostly associated with horror and thrillers. …… Is this the ‘world of mirrors’? ‘? My extraordinary powers don’t involve this realm at all …… Neither, if someone prays to me and tries the ‘magic mirror divination’, there will naturally be an illusory passageway in the ‘world of mirrors’ Pointing to me, pointing to the gray mist ……

　　”Strictly speaking, the ‘World in the Mirror’ isn’t a real world, it’s closer to a collection of ‘gates’ connecting different mirrors, different mystical realms, and if you get lost in it, you might appear directly in the ‘Abyss’, or even the starry sky …… Of course, demigods with the ability to do so should be able to use this to create a reflection world to hide in ……

　　”A collection of ‘gates’…… In addition to magical girls and grievous souls, the high sequence powerhouses of the ‘apprentice’ pathway also have similar abilities? Is there an aspect of the ‘secret’ of ‘secret mage’ that represents the ‘world of mirrors’, which is mysterious and secretive enough… …Under normal circumstances, even through ‘true vision’, it is impossible to directly see the ‘world of mirrors’, unless there is someone who excites it …… “Klein nodded thoughtfully and heard the witch Tris respond with a sweet voice:

　　”Throw the letter into the mirror.”

　　”It can be thrown in?” As a low sequence Extraordinary, the man had not seen anything so magical, and after hesitating for a moment, he took the letter and pressed it against the mirror.

　　On the surface of the mirror, the darkness suddenly swung away in layers, like the light of water that created ripples.

　　The man just felt a lightness of solid touch, and saw the letter magically penetrate the glass surface and enter the illusory swaying interior.

　　Immediately afterward, the letter, as if drawn by a vast vortex, continued to fall deeper and deeper into the room where Tris was.

　　Above the gray mist, Kraven raised the Scepter of Poseidon, intently tracking the letter, trying to pinpoint the location of the witch.

　　At this moment, in his “true vision”, the dark and deep “mirror world” appeared violent fluctuations, making everything blurred.

　　By the time the tremor subsided, Klein had already lost sight of the letter and the witch Tris.

　　”The aura of the ‘Original Witch’ can even interfere with this kind of gaze ……” Klein was silent for a moment and let out a sigh.

　　It was because of all the strangeness of Tris that he didn’t take the risk of mixing his own hair into the material as a way to locate the other party, which could easily suffer a terrible curse, and perhaps die a violent death on the spot.

　　As far as Klein was concerned, dying violently was just as good as dying violently, as long as the body wasn’t crushed, he should be able to be revived, but that would mean that he couldn’t seize the opportunity to lock onto Tris – the other party would surely make a transfer very quickly, so wasn’t it tantamount to wasting a precious revival opportunity for nothing?

　　Frustrated, Klein quickly returned to the real world and disengaged from the Bakerland Bridge area.

　　……

　　The next morning, with a plain and ordinary face, Klein took a carriage to St. Samuel’s Church.

　　He intended to inform the “Goddess of the Night” about the witch Tris by chanting her honorary name and praying in a low voice, so that if anything happened on the night of the full moon, at least there would be a deity watching Birkeland, and there would be a certain amount of preparation in advance.

　　–When Mr. Door was banished and sealed, there was the “Goddess of the Night”, and K must have been well aware of the other side’s tricks.

　　In a similar way, Klein has never been a pushover, and has a very clear understanding of himself:

　　Since he couldn’t solve the problem himself, he would seek help from those who were capable of solving the problem!

　　As for why he didn’t do this at home and had to run to St. Samuel’s Church, it was because Klein wanted to observe the situation of Birklund Street and the surrounding area in passing, looking for subtle traces of Amon’s arrival.

　　–Hazel and her family had been involved with Amon, and she herself belonged to the “Thief” path, no matter the fate of the intersection, or the convergence of characteristics, will make her become a high-risk group of people who will meet Amon by chance, Klein did not dare to have the slightest negligence and carelessness. Carelessness, to give himself a reminder and arrangement is to come over every once in a while to do a checkup.

　　Similarly, since Ms. “Justice” had helped Hazel heal her psychological trauma several times, once something went wrong with Hazel, it would easily affect her, so Klein was also very worried about the safety of this aristocratic girl, and thought it necessary to check her status from time to time through the “Crimson Star”, but of course, he would avoid it. Of course, he would avoid the more awkward time periods.

　　While his thoughts were flying, Klein, who was already approaching Pacefield Street, got off the carriage in advance, and asked his secret puppet, Enyuni, to go to a hidden place to chant the honorable name of “Neptune”.

　　He himself exchanged places with his puppet, Chunas, and in the “twisted” closed space, he took four steps backwards into the gray fog.

　　Then, with the help of the “Neptune’s Scepter” on the “true vision” magnification, he carefully observed the situation in Birklund Street and “Ruin’s Charity Scholarship Fund”.

　　”Hazel hasn’t been ‘parasitized’…… Miss ‘Justice’ hasn’t either… …neither are their maids, pets, or bodyguards …… Neither are the residents of Berklund Street or the staff of the ‘Charity Scholarship Fund’ …… No trace of Amon’s activities could be found on any of the streets in this area ……” Crane sighed in relief and returned to the real world.

　　Then, he approached St. Samuel’s Church, passed through the door, and found a seat in the dark and quiet large prayer hall.

　　Whispering the honorable name of the “Goddess of the Night”, Klein briefly described it:

　　”…… The witch Tris has obtained the hair of the descendants of the Abraham family line, and intends to contact a certain hidden existence on the night of the full moon, the specific purpose of which cannot be confirmed …….”

　　After sitting quietly for a while, seeing that the goddess did not respond and the archbishop did not come out, Klein put on his silk bowler hat and walked slowly out of the church.

　　At night, he changed places, controlling a mouse as a secret puppet, and chanted the honorable name of the other one:

　　”Great God of War, symbol of iron and blood, lord of turmoil and strife, I wish to meet with you ……”

　　As before, the rat lost his life as soon as he finished his prayer, and Klein pulled away with it.

　　He wanted to meet with the Red Angel to talk about Mr. Gate and the Dark Angel Saslir.

　　After a few minutes of waiting, Klein, with the help of another mouse puppet, saw the previous one burst into flames, and a white flame poured out.

　　This flame flew across the ground outlining a phrase:

　　”Don’t want to see you.”

　　…… Klein’s face muscles twitched imperceptibly.

　　He thought briefly, reason gave up, and left the area.

　　A few dozen seconds apart, the remnants of the blazing white flames formed a new word:

　　”Beg me.”

　　And by this time, Klein was far away.

　　Inside a certain house in a certain area of Berkland, Soren Einhorn Medici, who was wearing a long robe with red stripes on a black background and a pale face, stood up from the couch.

　　He frowned slightly and said as if talking to himself:

　　”Who is interfering with me ……”

　　……

　　In the blink of an eye, the night of the full moon came to Birkeland.

　　Inside a room illuminated by scarlet light, the witch Tris stood within an altar, surrounded by rubies, sapphires, emeralds, diamonds, pearls, lapis lazuli, and other ritual materials.

　　After more complicated preparations, she ignited the hair in her hand and placed it into the cauldron.

　　Waiting for the firelight to tint an ethereal darkness, Tris took two steps back and with a solemn expression, chanted in the Giant’s tongue:

　　”Great Gate of the Ten Thousand Gates;

　　”Leader of the endless stars;

　　”The Key to all Mysterious Worlds ……”
