Chapter 22: 22
This is not called running away, this is called assessing the situationChapter 217 This is not called running away, this is called assessing the situation
"Do you want to know what His deification ceremony is?"
The High Dimension Overlooker had a slight smile on his face, and said to George III in front of him:
"All He has to do is make the development of the times conform to His expectations, and then find that critical node."
"But no one knows what era "He" foresees, and what that critical turning point is. How can you be sure that that critical node will not be your fall?"
"Of course, as your Majesty's dear Duke, I will give you a gift that matches your status. As for whether or not to accept the gift I give you, it is up to you to decide."
"I believe you can make the right choice..."
There was a hint of bewitching in the tone of the high-dimensional condescending person.
A card appeared in his hand, and he showed the flashing blood-red card to George III in front of him. George III's eyes gradually widened, and he tightly grasped his armrest.
This is clearly a blasphemous card of the "Red Priest"!
But now this card should be lying on the table in Sefirah Castle, next to Klein's hand!
"The Duke is so generous, so I naturally cannot be stingy." George III closed his eyes and said expressionlessly to the high-dimensional person in front of him:
"Outer God, if what you said is true, after I become a god, I will definitely give you the Sequence One characteristic of the Augustus royal family."
As George III finished speaking, a satisfied smile appeared on the face of the High-Dimensional Overlord. In His source essence, George III seemed to have put his own fate on the gambling table, and on the other side was His promise.
This is the ability of Sequence 1 "Curtain Falling" of the "Veil Breaker" path. It is a deepening of the ability of the "Opera Singer". It is a powerful ability that blends the fields of "fate" and "time". It makes "drama" real and allows facts to happen before "curtain falling".
...
"So, I'm going to get my own Abraham family identity back and throw it to George III, that's about it."
The High-Dimensional Overlooker looked at Bethel in front of him and said to Him:
"I have already covered up enough. As long as my fate does not change again in front of Him, that bastard will not be able to find out what my clone is doing before he becomes a god."
"He thought at most that, ah, the Abraham family was back, but with the Storm Lord as a deterrent, the pattern of two gods and one angel king in Loen would not be broken for the time being."
"You're right, but I was the one who finally drew Leodero's hatred."
Relying on the source of the High-Dimensional Overlooker, Bethel casually said the real name of the Storm Lord to the High-Dimensional Overlooker in front of him with an indifferent expression on his face: "So we just came to the Southern Continent not long ago, why are we leaving again?"
"We can't help it. Someone is watching us. If I stay in this place for too long, He might notice something wrong." The High-Dimensional Overlooker casually pointed to the sky:
"He is almost desperate now. The trend of the times that He created with great difficulty and as He expected is about to be completely destroyed. How can you let Him continue to sit behind the scenes and watch everything that happens?"
"But even so, He is still trying to repair it. He is worthy of being the former Sun God."
Bethel whispered to himself for a moment: "He does not trust his own half, and thinks that when his half cooperated with the outer gods, it decided to take the lead in the suppression after the fusion. Before the ancient sun god was eroded by God's consciousness, there was already a tendency to split. In this case, it seems that 'He' now..."
"He cannot erase God's will. God's will exists forever, even if it becomes weaker and weaker, so that they can gain the upper hand in the battle for consciousness, and in the future they will gradually turn the current real creator into the God of the time."
The high-dimensional overlord smiled casually, looked at Bethel in front of him and said:
"Is it difficult for an Outer God to awaken in multiple consciousnesses at the same time?"
Bethel took a look at the incarnation of the High-Dimensional Overlooker in front of him, and after remembering the countless other incarnations of Him walking on Earth, he suddenly had a firm belief in what He had just said.
"Okay, it's time for us to go." The High Dimension Overlooker clapped his hands: "Let's get ready to go by boat, is that ok?"
"Take a boat?" Bethel had a bad premonition on his face, as if he was recalling some psychological trauma: "After harming the previous 'puppet', you are now harming your own students?"
"How can this be called a disaster? I am providing them with experience and cultivating talents for this extraordinary world!"
The High-Dimensional Overlooker immediately said to Bethel in front of him with dissatisfaction, using this to strongly condemn Bethel: "With a Beyonder like you who once stood at the top of the 'Gate' path, is there any possibility that Fors will fail in his promotion?"
During these few days, under the intense pressure of the high-dimensional observer, Fors played the role of an astrologer during the day and was forced to look at the stars at night, so she digested the potion very quickly.
Of course, on the other hand, after digesting the Sequence 7 potion, Fors finally got a rare rest time. She happily lay down on the bed, ready to make up for the lack of sleep during these few days of rest.
But Fors seemed to have overlooked why there was a bed in the cave.
Although they lived in a cave, the bed that Fors slept on was very good and quite comfortable. Of course, she didn't know that this bed with a black mattress and thick quilt was a trap created by the Fallen Mother Goddess using the authority of her own life domain, originally used for "hunting".
In a sense, the entire bed was made up of extraordinary living creatures. It was just that they were very well disguised under the control of the Mother Goddess, so Fors didn't discover the truth at all.
The High-Dimensional Overlooker felt that for Fors's safety and mental well-being, it would be better not to explain the specific reasons to her.
"Are we leaving now?" Bethel looked around and his expression did not seem very happy.
"Of course we have to go. Do you want to stay here and feed Amon and his brother?" The High Dimension Overlooker laughed, "Of course, I won't restrict your freedom. However, I also believe that Amon would be happy to play a game with you if he saw you."
It was indeed a game, but Bethel was probably just a toy. There weren't many opportunities to play with the Angel King, who was once his colleague, and Amon would not give up this opportunity.
This is not really an option, but the other option is not very good either... Bethel glanced at the high-dimensional overlord in front of him and the fallen mother goddess behind him who was catching the "children" around his body into her body one by one, and couldn't help but sigh.
Looking at the strange scene in front of him, he realized that he was completely on board the pirate ship of the foreign god in front of him.
In Bethel's vision, there was a holy light that extended endlessly in front of His eyes, full of maternal and filthy black, forming a perfect circle, a symbol that repeatedly flowed back and forth, and a hungry breath that was concave inward and reminded him of the "Box of the Old Ones" that he once held.
Riding a boat with a bunch of Outer Gods' incarnations again... Bethel sighed in his heart and turned to look at the high-dimensional overlord in front of him:
"What are you going to do now?"
"Me? I'll go see if I can open a shop or something, something that fits the character of an Outer God, something that can sell lives... No, that seems to be something that demons do; otherwise, I can try to find treasures on the sea, become an adventurer or something."
Bethel's lips moved slightly, and he originally wanted to remind the high-dimensional observer in front of him to pay attention to his mental state, but the gaze that seemed to come from outer space kept reminding him of a fact:
this Outer God was crazy from beginning to end, and now his clone was performing a beautiful opera on the earth, pretending that everything was fine.
He seemed to be resisting his own madness - so, this Outer God was a type that was upgraded from a creature with "human nature"?
Bethel thought while listening to the words of the High-Dimensional Overlooker.
The High-Dimensional Overlooker said casually, "Or I can just be a merchant on the sea, continue to wear away the spiritual imprint left by the Storm Lord on the potion, and help my allies solve some problems that may arise later."
His tone paused for a moment: "Anything is fine. I'm not very busy recently."
There was a barely perceptible light in Bethel's eyes, he nodded, and resigned himself to following behind the high-dimensional overlord.
The high-dimensional overwatch waved his hand in the air, and the surrounding environment was suddenly covered by a curtain, cutting off this space and sending the people in it to the captain's room that had been prepared long ago.
Fors felt the warm bed beside her disappear in an instant, and she fell from midair, her butt hitting the ground. She suddenly woke up and looked around in panic.
"What happened?" Fors shouted in confusion, turning back to see the three people standing beside her.
The High Dimension Overlooker coughed and said, "Go to sleep nearby. I'll send you back to the South Continent when you've rested enough."
"oh..."
Seeing the scene in front of him, Fors ran out quickly and found a quieter room to sleep in. Bethel nodded in relief as he saw that the ship finally had more than just a captain's cabin.
"You're finally willing to build some more normal ships now."
"—you don't think he can actually build some normal ships?"
(Note: In view of the influence of the Outer God Path on its subordinate Extraordinary People, some of the characteristics of the Suhuan can be inferred from Big Pineapple. This is equivalent to a live dialogue. Those who have not seen the Suhuan can ignore this sentence.)
At this moment, a grand and majestic voice sounded in Bethel's ears, and the sound was like a reverberation.
Bethel looked back and saw a human figure made of silver-white light appear in front of him, and his eyes changed slightly.
"...Fate?"
Bethel acted cautiously and placed several layers of "secret protection" on his body. After a moment, after confirming that the person in front of him only had the strength of Sequence 5, Bethel slowly spoke:
"——What do you mean by what you said just now?" Seeing that the silver-white humanoid figure in front of him, who was suspected to be the will of the Outer God, had no hostility, Bethel asked cautiously.
"You don't think that our will can become like this in a normal place, do you?" The Ring of Destiny smiled and maintained this tone while speaking to Bethel in front of him.
"You might as well go and see for yourself."
"...?"
Bethel suddenly felt something was wrong. He looked at the wooden wall in front of him, waved his hand to open a door on the wall, and walked out.
What followed was the seawater that continued to squeeze in from the surrounding areas.
Bethel took a look and found that the ship indeed had more than just the captain's room, but the structure of the ship was... damn discontinuous.
Bethel almost cursed out loud. He took a look at the hull in front of him which was made up of several scattered wooden blocks, and with a slightly darker face, he opened the door again and walked back.
"Hey, Bethel, what do you think of my boat?"
The High Dimension Overlooker had a smile on his face as he greeted Bethel, whose face was visibly darkening.
Can't you build a normal boat?
Bethel felt that he had been greatly shaken.
...
"The great sea god Kalvetuwa..."
A middle-aged man stood next to the altar, on which were several living sacrifices whose throats had been cut by sharp blades. A thin layer of blood soon formed in the center of the altar.
The man waited devoutly for quite a long time, but still received no response.
"Sure enough, failed again..."
The natives of the Rorsted Islands who believed in Kalvetuva sighed in pain. Ever since the Rorsted Islands were washed by the sea, they could no longer contact the "sea god" they believed in.
"Could it be that we really have to believe in the so-called Lord of Storms?"
The native paced back and forth, his tone full of anxiety and uneasiness. The current situation of these local rebels was not good. Many of their previous strongholds had been destroyed by the impact of the flood. Now many of their compatriots had been exposed to the Storm Church and were captured in the church's prison.
"God, God - I don't want to give up my faith, I don't want to ..."
The native of Kalvetuwa of the faith cried out in agony, he knelt on the ground with tears in his eyes.
Tick. Tick.
Just as he was shedding painful tears of shattered faith, a majestic and cold voice sounded from his mind.
"I have returned."
"From now on, all your sins will be forgiven. Those who hear my voice are forgiven by me, and those who are not blessed will be destroyed in the flood."
"You should dive into the depths of the sea and escape the flood of judgment."
"My name is Kalvetuwa, the god of the abyss, the lord of the ocean. You are blessed. I recognize your sacrifice and allow you to become my first family."
"I grant you knowledge and blessings, and give you the power to sink into the deep sea."
"From now on, you are the 'Deep Divers'."
-
Watching the drama in front of him, the high-dimensional observer had no emotion in his eyes.
He dozed off and fell into a deep sleep once again.
Sorry for the late update. I had something urgent to do in the afternoon and didn't get home until 8pm.EncounterChapter 218 Encounter
Klein jumped off the boat and landed on the ground. The shadow behind him shrank back and merged into the glass bottle after a tremor.
Taking advantage of the cover of darkness, the group split into three groups, each camouflaged themselves and headed towards a hotel where Bayam was hiding.
They did not want others to find out that they had arrived at Bayam, which was actually controlled by the Church of Storms. This was because although there were only nine "normal" crew members on Klein's ship, their bounties were quite high, and the accumulated bounties were so high that Mr. Fool was dumbfounded.
The combined bounty of Frank Lee, Heath Doyle and Nina, the three crew members who originally belonged to the "Star Pirates", exceeded 15,000 pounds, and the bounty of the captain, Cattleya, was even higher than the total of the three.
Moreover, after it was confirmed that the "Mad Captain" and "Admiral Aurora" Gehrman Sparrow, who was wanted by the Church of the Storm, had captured "Admiral of the Stars" Cattleya, the bounty offered by the Church of the Storm was even higher than that of this former pirate general.
If we include the remaining Beyonders and zombie crew members who are not directly wanted, the bounty for this crew would be close to 100,000 gold pounds. This made Klein himself a little tempted, and he was thinking about whether he should find a way to go to the Church of the Storm to claim the bounty.
You know, Klein has the pseudonym "Sherlock Moriarty" which has an official background in the Church of Evernight!
However, Klein finally gave up the idea and did not ignore the overall situation for a little local benefit. Compared to his own bounty of more than 20,000 pounds, his hard-earned identity was more important.
Yes, it's just over 20,000 pounds…
Twenty thousand pounds...
Whenever he thought of this, Klein couldn't help but feel a little pain. Now his own wanted money was "richer" than his entire net worth. Of course, this was only the result of calculating cash. If you count extraordinary items, Klein is still quite rich.
The reason why they were divided into three waves to infiltrate Bayam was because Danitz, the mascot of the ship and the one with the lowest bounty, did not act alone. Instead, he followed Klein, Leonard, and Xio, the three people from Backlund, disguised themselves as members of the Aurora Society, and infiltrated the hotel that they had agreed to meet before landing.
Apart from Klein, who was disguised as a member of the Aurora Society—no, it didn't seem like a disguise, he was originally a member of the Aurora Society. Cattleya and her crew modified their more conspicuous physical features and concealed their status very well, like a few wealthy businessmen from the Northern Continent who came to Bayam for a trip.
This included Frank's body hair and Heath Doyle's pale face, which were carefully disguised by Cattleya.
Maric, the Beyonder of the "Prisoner" Path, simply disguised himself as a person from the Southern Continent. Sharon on the side was even more direct. She made her body transparent and hid in the coins that Maric carried with him.
Even though he had been promoted to a Sequence 4 "Puppet", his abilities from the "Wrathful Spirit" period were still quite useful. Without targeted exploration and divination, the Beyonders of the general church would not be able to discover a demigod like Sharon.
In fact, even in Backlund, some of the weaker church chiefs and archbishops are only at the level of Sequence Four. Demigods can definitely be considered strong in the extraordinary world. For ordinary extraordinary people, the door to half-human and half-god is relatively the most difficult to open.
Although the "Sea King" Yan Kottman stationed in Bayam has the strength of Sequence Three, he is not good at divination. He cannot find Sharon's location without a medium. Without the corresponding information, he may not even be able to predict the location of Sequence Five Beyonders.
"...This is also the reason why, even though the power of the Church of Storms covers the entire ocean and the Beyonders of the Sailor Path have almost dominant power among those of the same sequence on the ocean, they still cannot completely eliminate the pirates."
Listening to the words of the high-dimensional overlooker, Bethel nodded, indicating that he obviously understood.
But He immediately frowned and asked the Outer God in front of Him in confusion:
"Who are you talking to?"
The high-dimensional overwatch selectively ignored Bethel's questions, and continued to look at the light screen in front of him with relish, with an expression on his face that said "this guy's schizophrenia has worsened again."
Don't forget that behind Klein there is the spy of the "Hidden Sage" left by the High-Dimensional Overlooker. Although Klein can now activate part of the "Source Castle" and make the image in the light curtain blurred, it has no effect on the High-Dimensional Overlooker.
After arriving at the hotel, the owner of the hotel changed his expression when he saw the obvious Northern Continent characteristics of the few people.
Although their black robes looked suspicious, the boss obviously had extensive experience in dealing with Beyonders and pirates, and knew not to cause trouble for himself.
You have to know that Bayam is now a mixed bag. Among ten pedestrians, four may be adventurers, two are pirates, and the remaining one is an official Beyonder; and the remaining three may all be followers of the sea god Kalvetuwa, and at most there is only one ordinary person, who may be an outsider.
Under such circumstances, the owners of these hotels will naturally not report those wild Beyonders to the official Beyonders, as this would only bring trouble to themselves. No one knows whether the Beyonder you reported today will harbor resentment after escaping the official pursuit, and will clean up you and your hotel on the way back.
After successfully checking into this seemingly secluded inn, Klein also arranged rooms for the private individuals who had just arrived. He and Leonard shared a suite, Xio lived in a separate room, and Danitz lived in the attached servants' room.
Of course, Klein's room and Xio's room were located opposite each other to prevent anyone from attacking one of them in the middle of the night.
Danitz was naturally unwilling, but under the intimidation of Germann's cold eyes, he finally moved into the servant's room reluctantly.
At least this guy didn't ask me to pay for the room… Danitz said to himself as if to comfort himself.
After Klein had arranged his belongings, he walked towards Danitz's room. The servant's room was connected to the main room. It was a suite with two doors facing the outside, specially prepared for travelers with servants.
Klein stood in front of Danitz and looked at him sternly. Danitz, who had just put his things away, felt Gehrman's cold eyes and trembled immediately. He turned his head and said quickly:
"Captain Sparrow, what's wrong?"
Klein restrained his cold eyes slightly, paused for a moment, stared at Danitz in front of him, and said to him,
"Contact Vice Admiral Iceberg."
Is this madman going to hunt the "Blood Admiral"? Danitz suddenly remembered what Klein had mentioned before, and his body trembled involuntarily, not knowing whether it was excitement or fear. He smiled awkwardly and said to Gehrman Sparrow in front of him: "
I understand, Captain Sparrow." He paused slightly and said: "It may take some time to contact the captain, so why not..."
"—Rest for a night. I need a reply from Vice Admiral Iceberg tomorrow at noon." Klein nodded and said to Danitz in front of him, then turned around and left without hesitation.
Danitz stayed there for two seconds, and only after German left his room did he mutter to himself:
"What a lunatic!"
"But, he actually gave me time to rest? Damn, how come he is so nice..."
But before Danitz finished speaking, he saw German push the door open and walk back into the room. He immediately shut his mouth, fearing that German in front of him would hear what he had just said. However, Klein did not mention what Danitz had just said to himself, but directly reminded him:
"Don't forget to ask if there is any news about Admiral Blood."
Klein was still worried that Danitz might be so obsessed with Edwina showing off that he would forget about the important things.
I thought too much... How did I get the illusion that he was a good person...
After watching Gehrman Sparrow leave the room again and locking the door himself, Danitz moved his lips and couldn't help but utter a famous quote from the Red Priest.
"Shit!"
...
Klein wore a black robe and walked into the noisy tavern at night. He looked at the tired bartender in front of him and said to him in a low voice,
"Give me a drink."
"What kind of wine would you like?"
The bartender responded to Klein in front of him. He looked at the mysterious man in front of him, who was wearing a black robe and a white mask on his face, and thought of the "madmen" mentioned by some guests from the southern continent. He did not intend to test Klein's identity.
Bars are often the most mixed places in the Rorsted Archipelago. There may be pirates, adventurers, and official extraordinary people preparing to go fishing in the bar.
As a "native" with no special abilities, he certainly would not provoke the guy in front of him who was suspected of believing in evil gods.
At most, well, at most he would report the news to the owner of his own bar or to the local believers of the "God of the Sea" - the one who issued an oracle two days ago and changed his name to the believers of the God of the Abyss.
But no matter what, he would not send this kind of news to the Storm Church that offered a high reward to the believers of the "True Creator". To the natives of the Rorsted Islands like him, the Storm Church was a shameless colonizer. Although it was powerful, it was their enemy.
Therefore, to these natives, there was actually no difference between the Extraordinary People of the Church of the Storm and those pirates.
Just think about it, what is the difference between people who all survive on the sea by plundering their property and exploiting the lives of their compatriots?
If we have to rank the two, then these natives might be more inclined to be pirates.
At the very least, pirates will not put themselves on the right side after looting, but the Storm Church will claim that their beliefs are wrong and declare them heretics after exploiting their property and lives.
The Church of the Storm captures so-called heretics and forces them to abandon their beliefs, claiming that they were the ones who brought civilization.
"Take two glasses of 'Zahar.'
Klein said calmly. He turned and looked at the petite Xio, wondering for a moment whether he should add another cup to the already added drink.
I remember when I was still in Backlund, I seemed to have heard about a short arbitrator going crazy in a tavern... Klein immediately turned around and made a decision:
"Get another glass of milk."
Xio pursed her lips, but she still resisted the urge to tell Klein that she could drink. According to Fors, she would basically go crazy after drinking. In order to conceal her identity, Xio could only force herself to drink something... something for children.
Drinking more milk may help you grow taller...Xiu felt a little unhappy for some reason and wanted to reach out to take the glass of milk. The bartender looked at Xiu, who was also wearing a black robe but was surprisingly small, and took the glass back considerately and heated up the milk.
I don't want this kind of consideration…Xiu couldn't help but think with gritted teeth in his heart.
"What's going on here lately?"
Klein peeked out the edge of a gold coin from between his right fingers, attracting the attention of the bartender in front of him.
The surface of the "Creeping Hunger" on his left hand behind his back had unknowingly grown pieces of dark golden dragon scales. Without the bartender noticing, Klein had already used his "Psychologist" ability to plant a hint in the bartender.
Sure enough, when the bartender who was pouring the wine saw the coin in Klein's hand, his eyes widened and he spoke naturally to the black-robed man in front of him:
"Hey, do you know that a big thing happened at sea recently?"
Is this the effect of the "audience" approach on ordinary people... Klein couldn't help but sigh. He looked at the bartender in front of him and considered his words.
You know, although "psychological suggestion" can guide people's psychology, it cannot make them directly spit out all the information they know.
If he wanted to achieve that effect, he would at least have to transform it into a puppet and then use the Source Castle to communicate with the spirit world, but Klein was not ready to do that yet.
After all, Klein didn't know whether the bartender in front of him was a vicious person, so he wouldn't do something extreme like turning an innocent person into a puppet.
"What's the big deal?"
Klein looked at the bartender in front of him, lowered his voice, and spoke to him in a low voice.
The bartender was in a trance for a moment, then reached out to take the gold coin.
"I heard that Lieutenant Colonel Sickness was assassinated and the assassin fled to Bayam..."
"Bang!"
Before he finished speaking, a gunshot suddenly rang out!
Solemnly declare: I have no intention of destroying the Mechanical Church"The Trickster" (4500 words)Chapter 219 "The Wise Man" (4,500 words)
What appeared in front of Klein was a mirror.
Klein caught a glimpse of the corner of the mirror next to him. A man wearing clothes that covered most of his face was holding the mirror with a smile on his lips.
The mirror reflected a figure that was talking to someone beside him. Klein recognized the owner of this figure. It was the third officer of "Lieutenant General of Disease" that he had seen on the official wanted poster.
Mithor the Trickster!
——A big pirate with a bounty of more than 5,000 pounds!
Klein saw him clearly, and the "Trickster" Mithor in front of him also clearly recognized him. But Mithor's target didn't seem to be him.
However, Klein obviously did not intend to wait for the moving 5,400 pounds to make other moves, but instead stood up directly.
The moment he saw the new "Pirate General" stand up, "The Wise Man" Misor felt his scalp tingling. He quickly raised the gun in his hand and subconsciously wanted to pull the trigger.
But Klein took a step ahead, moving his lips slightly to simulate the sound of a gunshot. He used his body to cover his left hand, which was wearing the "Creeping Hunger", and quietly released the "psychological suggestion".
The sound of the gunshot seemed too realistic to other people's ears, as if a real bullet was being fired.
——No, Klein used the ability to "create illusions" that he had acquired in the "Magician" stage. After going through two sequences of enhancement, he instantly simulated a real bullet in the air and shot it at "The Whisperer" Mithor.
Looking at the bullet that instantly passed between the two of them, "The Wrong-Teller" Misor originally wanted to twist the direction of the bullet and make it move away from his position, but he was shocked to find that the bullet was not affected by his extraordinary ability and shot straight at him.
No, how could this be... "The Trickster" Misor's pupils shrank slightly, and he desperately turned sideways to avoid the fatal part, allowing the bullet to penetrate his shoulder.
"...Um?"
However, the expected pain did not come. He accidentally saw the bullet in front of him turned into a phantom and passed through his shoulder.
Being cheated... "Trickster" Mithor suddenly felt a surge of anger in his heart, but he still maintained his rationality. He casually took the purse that a companion beside him had placed on the table and threw it at "Admiral Aurora" in front of him.
The bartender saw the black-robed man in front of him turn around, and almost frantically pulled out the gun from his arms and pulled the trigger without hesitation!
"—Praise the Lord!"
After thinking quickly, Klein imitated the tone of Mr. A and Mr. Z before and roared fanatically, firing a shot at the crowd in front of him.
He looked at the money bag flying past him, and completely ignored the behavior of the "Silent Sayer" Mithor. Klein's hand was quite steady, and he shot the bullet at the "Silent Sayer" Mithor without bias!
The behavior of the "Trickster" in front of him should be the premise of some extraordinary ability, so Klein decided to be cautious and not touch the purse that looked very bulging.
Although he was not sure which path of Beyonder this pirate was from, Klein knew that Beyonders of many sequences could perform such actions to make their Beyonder abilities work.
Bullets? Don't think you can use this kind of thing on me again...
Under the influence of psychological suggestion, "The Wise Man" Misor sneered and was about to ignore the bullet which he also considered to be a fraud.
But the next moment his foot was caught by a spider silk, making him look like he stumbled and fell directly to the ground.
"idiot!"
A very low voice came from his ear, and "Trickster" Mithor turned back in panic, unable to find the location of the voice. Although the voice was very low, Mithor could easily determine that it was the voice of his captain, "Disease Girl" Tracy.
The "Wizard" Misor suddenly heard a "bang" and the wooden table behind him exploded with a loud noise. The impact even caused some wood chips to penetrate into his body.
This is so powerful that it doesn't even look like a pistol!
In fact, Klein prepared two surprises for the "Trickster" Mithor in front of him. The previous bullet was followed by an air bullet with a different trajectory from the previous bullet. Even if "Trickster" Mithor sensed the danger and dodged the first bullet, he would still be injured by the second bullet.
You know, the power of a sequence five level air bullet is much stronger than an ordinary bullet. If you are hit head-on by this bullet, even if you don't lose your combat effectiveness, your overall strength will be greatly reduced.
Moreover, Klein had begun using "psychological suggestion" and deception to mislead the "Trickster" long before the battle began. Although Klein did not have any extraordinary abilities directly related to deception, he was still quite familiar with this tactic.
——Learned it from Amon.
Mithor, the "Trickster", who caught a glimpse of the smashed table behind him from the corner of his eye, suddenly felt a little panic in his heart. The first thing he thought of was not that he was deceived by the enemy in front of him, but that he had done something stupid in front of the captain, making the captain extremely disappointed in him.
He was previously part of the crew of "Vice Admiral Hurricane" Zillingus.
After Qilingos' accidental death, he was recruited by the "Disease Girl" Tracy and became a member of the "Black Death". To "The Whisperer" Misor, Tracy was obviously much kinder than Qilingos.
Moreover, he did not realize that after he became a member of the "Black Death", he was repeatedly seduced by Vice Admiral Tracy, and his affection for the "sick girl" and a perverted and twisted love for her were deeply engraved in his heart.
Klein noticed that the falling action of the "Trickster" Misor was quite strange, and many speculations surged in his mind.
Did he carry an extraordinary item that could change his luck, or did someone help him?
No, I had never heard of him having such an item, otherwise there would definitely be corresponding rumors and the bounty would increase. So it seems that it is most likely the latter...
Klein faced the many pirates surrounding him, and the corners of his mouth gradually curled up. He originally wanted to continue to cover his face with the black robe to prevent others from seeing his identity, but when he thought about the fact that he was playing the role of Gehrman Sparrow, a seemingly calm but actually crazy adventurer and captain.
I am not playing myself now. Haha, I can't forget the rules of my previous role-playing after becoming a "Master of Secret Puppetry"…
Thinking of this, his thoughts raced through his mind, and like a senior "Master of Secret Dolls", he tore off his black robe, revealing the captain's uniform he was wearing.
Of course, before revealing his true appearance (referring to Hermann), he released a group "deterrence" to the ordinary people around him and some lower-sequence Beyonders.
The impact of this group was that they immediately turned their backs and fled in panic, without being able to see Klein's true appearance.
"Aurora Club!"
"The Silver Tongue" Mithor's tone froze for a moment, and he spoke through gritted teeth.
He suddenly felt like retreating, but a soft whisper suddenly came to his ears, which rekindled the fighting spirit in his body.
The almost burning love surged in his heart, causing the usually sharp and cold pirate Mithor to lose his judgment.
He rolled on the ground, trying to use his excellent fighting skills to quickly approach Admiral Aurora, who seemed to have no close combat ability.
Seeing the actions of the "Trickster" in front of him, Klein immediately understood what he wanted to do.
Unfortunately, I am not one of those Beyonders who don't have much frontal combat power. If I were Sequence 6, you might have succeeded, but Sequence 5 happens to be the stage where the "Fool" path begins to undergo a qualitative change...
Klein looked at the "Trickster" Mithor in front of him, stretched out his hands and directly controlled his spiritual body line. With a large sequence difference, "Trickster" Mithor only felt his body stiffen, and the movement of flipping forward came to an abrupt stop.
The ability of "Puppetization" is the most difficult ability to deal with under the demigod level!
not good!
The body of the "Worthy Tongue" Misor froze for a moment, and he wanted to leap back, but he only felt that his body was becoming more and more sluggish, and his thinking was becoming slower and slower, as if his body had turned into a cage, trapping him like a puppet.
He suddenly felt his throat burning, as if there was phlegm stuck in his throat, making it difficult to breathe.
"Master of Secret Puppet..."
In a trance, Misor seemed to hear a familiar and slightly fearful voice, followed by a more intense pain in his chest.
He coughed and spat out a mouthful of yellow liquid mixed with blood. Seeing this, Klein's face changed, and his body turned into a paper man and disappeared on the spot.
Klein's body appeared behind him. Countless black spots and yellowish pus quickly appeared on the paper man that remained in place, and it became rotten and decayed.
Moreover, the pus appearing on the paper figure makes it look quite scary and weird, just like the evil spirits in some folk horror stories.
Leonard on the side also used a countermeasure. He twisted his wrist slightly, and the paleness that had just appeared on his face disappeared instantly.
Leonard lifted up Xio, who was also coughing, and took two steps back. Some traces of natural spirits emerged around him, gushing out spirituality to isolate the surrounding enemies from their abilities.
Aside from the ordinary people who had just left because of the "shock" that Klein had used, everyone else in the bar, whether pirates or ordinary people, was holding their throats in pain or scratching their skin.
Lines of yellowish liquid oozed out of their mouths or skin, looking extremely terrifying.
"Let's go out." Klein glanced at Leonard beside him, his eyes lingering on his right hand for a moment: "There are two 'Witches of Pain' here. If we fight in a place like this, we will always be shrouded in their disease aura."
When talking to Leonard, Klein's tone became slightly softer.
"Okay, I understand." Leonard nodded and looked at Klein in front of him:
"I will protect you, and you go find the enemy's 'Witch of Pain', or 'Vice Admiral of Disease'."
This is the information provided by the portable grandfather, the external brain Pales and Leonard. Even though he is not in good condition, Pales obviously has his own unique way of obtaining information. He knows the current world situation and the approximate sequences and names of some extraordinary people starting from the middle sequence.
"No, we don't necessarily need to go find her."
Klein shook his head and quickly left the bar with the help of the "Flash" ability of the squirming Hungry Grazing Mr. X. He said to Leonard who was being pulled by him:
"The witches won't get entangled with us for too long. Their abilities have a wide range and are easily discovered. They are more afraid of being discovered by the official Beyonders who are tracking them than us."
You know, unlike the adjacent "Red Priest" path, the extraordinary abilities of the "Witch" path are basically aimed at large-scale attacks and instigation. As long as the official extraordinary people are willing to investigate, they will definitely be able to find the source of large-scale disease events.
Klein believed that without the protection of a strong person or a high-level item, it would not be too difficult to divine the whereabouts of a Sequence Five based on the crime scene. Once exposed to the official Beyonders, they would use various methods to find the location of the exposed wild Beyonder.
Although the sick general has excellent escape ability, he will not cause trouble to himself.
As expected... Feeling the burning pain in his body gradually subside, Klein immediately realized that the previous enemy had gradually left. He looked at the "Trickster" Misor lying on the ground in front of him, hesitated slightly, and controlled his spirit thread to take him away from the spot.
——The victim walked away from the crime scene.
"Let's go."
Klein took out two bottles of mystical antidote invented by Frank from his pocket. He threw the two bottles into the air, made a gun shape with his fingers, and shot two air bullets, turning the antidote into mist.
Although the effect is a little worse, at least it can save your lives and prevent you from getting seriously ill or dying, like the people in Backlund who were affected by Panatia...
Klein retracted his hand and looked at Leonard beside him:
"Go back quickly."
"We have to hurry back. According to the church's custom, those Beyonders should be on their way here."
Watching Klein's actions, Leonard smiled and shrugged his shoulders. "But those grumpy old pigeons from the Church of the Storm are always late."
"That's right... ahem."
Klein took a few steps forward, letting the shadow of the alley cover his body. He suddenly coughed violently twice, obviously suffering from a relatively shallow respiratory disease.
He had just used the two bottles of mystical antidote Frank had given him on the civilians who were accidentally injured in the battle.
Although he has the strength of Sequence 5 and can resist some diseases in the mystical sense, Tracy and the figure holding the mirror who is suspected to be Triss are also Sequence 5, and both of them are likely to use disease aura at the same time.
This also had a great impact on Klein's condition.
However, although the disease progression seemed more serious and rapid under the double halo of illness, Klein also had means to counter it.
Also, this Leonard kid is really... Klein glanced at Leonard inconspicuously, with a meaningful look in his eyes.
"But you're still the same, Klein." Leonard, who had just turned his head, heard Klein coughing and suddenly laughed:
"You're still the same as when you were in Tingen, and so are we. The members of our team are still alive even after experiencing so many major events, and the captain and Ms. Daly are about to get married."
"So, we are all the same as we were then, right?" Leonard winked at Klein, with a hint of suggestion in his tone.
"Is it the same as it was then..."
Klein smiled bitterly, and once again thought of what the two mercury snakes had said to him:
"It's different…"
He lowered his voice so that Leonard in front of him could not hear it.
I wrote a little more and finished this little plot.
One question, I will probably be able to write two chapters tomorrow, do you want to publish them all at once, or should I save one chapter first to ensure a stable update schedule later? I
'm really busy recently, so I'd like to ask for your opinions.
Of course, I will try my best to pay back the rewards I owed before A Part of the Witch Cult's PlanChapter 220 A Part of the Witch Cult's Plan
Klein shook his head and controlled the puppet in his hand to walk towards the hotel.
After entering his room, he nodded slightly to Leonard, indicating that Leonard should go to open another room to place the newly obtained secret doll. Klein took this opportunity to quickly walk into the bathroom in the room and walked four steps in reverse.
Pales suddenly felt something and sensed a familiar breath.
"The aura of Sefirah Castle..."
Leonard was walking down the stairs when he heard Pales Zoroast mumbling in his mind. He didn't hear clearly what Pales said, so he immediately turned his head and asked:
"What are you talking about, old man?"
"What did you say?"
Pales showed a puzzled expression, fully displaying his talent as a deceiver who was Amon's enemy: "What did you hear?"
"No, it's all right. It's all right."
Seeing Pales's confident question, Leonard couldn't help scratching the back of his head, looking a little embarrassed: "I guess I heard it wrong."
He heard Pales snort coldly, and the voice disappeared in his mind again. Seeing this, Leonard sighed and continued to walk down.
Of course, Pales didn't intend to let Leonard know about the news related to the source so early, which would cause a lot of unnecessary trouble for the two of them. For example, the omnipresent Amon, and the Beyonders like Zaratul who seemed to have disappeared before.
Pales knew that those old rivals would not disappear so easily, they had many ways to pull themselves back from the river of death. Even in the older times, those who seemed to be dead might not have completely disappeared from this world.
As long as the time is right, they may come back again one day.
...
In Sefirah Castle, Klein, who was sitting on his throne, was unaware of what was happening in the outside world. His body was sitting quietly in the bathroom, but his spirit had already arrived above the gray fog with the help of a ritual.
The secret doll made of "Warning" Mithor is now standing in his and Leonard's room. Klein uses the connection between himself and the secret doll to summon the spirit of "Warning" Mithor to the Sefirah Castle.
Since Tracy, the sick girl who is the "Witch of Pain", has the characteristic of being anti-divination, he can only use the Source Castle to create divination.
Of course, even such divination requires a corresponding medium, but this medium has been clearly placed in front of him, that is, the "Wise Tongue" Misor, who has served as the third mate on the ship of the "Sick Girl" for a long time.
Klein looked at the spirit that he was controlling and asked him casually:
"Why are you here at the bar? Are you on a mission for 'Lieutenant General of Disease'?"
This was a question that Klein wanted to know more about. You have to know that Vice Admiral of Disease Tracy had been sailing on the sea before. Logically speaking, the newly rebuilt Bayam would not have anything to attract Tracy, so the appearance of the "Trickster" Misor here was obviously a very unusual thing.
Moreover, Klein suspected that Tracy had been hiding behind Misor and developing a "disease aura".
"The captain was assassinated by a hateful assassin. We used various methods to find out that the assassin fled to Bayam."
"The Silver Tongue," Mithor's spirit answered in a daze. His tone was a bit stiff like a puppet, and his speech was intermittent.
"So, the captain sent me and other pirates to Bayam to look for the assassin, and then we met you."
Looking for the traces of the assassin was indeed something a vengeful "Witch of Pain" would do, but this was still not enough to justify why Tracy came to Bayam in person and even gave up the mission assigned to her by the Witch Church.
Considering that the other "witch of pain" who spread the aura of disease was most likely Triss who had escaped from Backlund before, it seems that it is possible that after Tracy encountered Triss, the witch sect gave her a new task, asking Tracy to find the trace of Triss who had escaped from the witch sect before.
Klein knew Triss. She had worked with him in the Aurora Club for a period of time before, so they were half colleagues.
She was someone who could do things like drive a tiger to devour a wolf and use the chaos in the outside world to give herself a chance of survival. However, Klein did not like Triss's unscrupulous, chaotic, and evil style of doing things.
However, this matter is indeed strange. The "Desperate Nightingale" at that time personally paid attention to Triss many times, which was a strange thing for the cruel witch... Or, it was because Tracy met Triss that her mission changed.
After coming to this guess, Klein considered his words for a moment and said to the "Trickster" Misor in front of him, "Where is Tracy now?"
"I have no idea."
The spirit of "Trickster" Mithor was still as confused as a puppet, unable to suppress his desire to speak:
"The captain didn't tell me she was following me, and I didn't expect the captain to appear in front of me."
It seems that we will not be able to get any information about Tracy from him. It seems that the "disease girl" is vigilant enough. Tsk, she is worthy of being a witch, worthy of being one of the pirate generals...
Klein was silent for a moment. It was unlikely that he could get Tracy's information directly from the "Silver-tongued" Misor. After a moment, he asked the "Silver-tongued" Misor again:
"Will Tracy be here, in Bayam, for a long time?"
"Yes, the captain said that we must find the assassin."
Although the pirate who loved the sick girl did not want to betray his captain, after being completely transformed into the puppet master's puppet, he had to reveal all the information he knew.
After asking a few more questions, Klein saw that he could not get any more information out of the "Trickster" Mithor, so he decided to start communicating with the spirits and do divination directly.
Above the gray fog, Klein could directly use spiritualism to divine Tracy's location.
Of course, this was something that could only be done after Klein had a deeper grasp of Sefirah Castle. The essence of divination was to rely on the information recorded in the spirit world to obtain information about the past, present, or future, thereby converging into a result that was highly symbolic.
The results are mostly abstract, and the medium used needs to have sufficient mystical connection with the person being divined.
Of course, after being transformed into a secret doll, Mithor the Whisperer was no longer a living creature, and under the influence of the gray fog, his mystical connection was enough for divination.
"…When I met Tracy."
Klein silently repeated this sentence seven times in his mind, leaned back slightly, and quickly fell asleep. He was going to perform the fortune teller's "dream divination"!
Although the results of "dream divination" may be relatively abstract, for Klein who did not know Tracy's exact location, this was the only way to determine Tracy's location and the time and place of his subsequent encounter with Tracy.
Tracy is not on Klein's current hunting list. The top priority now is to find a breakthrough point against the Rose School of the Southern Continent by hunting the "Blood Admiral".
The situation in the Southern Continent is now complicated. Only after killing Admiral Xue can we use spiritual communication to find out some information about the Southern Continent.
Klein had encountered a lot of resistance when he went to the southern continent. The local situation was different from what he had known before, and even much different. Without a certain entry point, Klein would not be able to complete the mission given to him by the goddess to spread the belief in the "God of Death" in the southern continent.
Soon, a bizarre scene appeared in his dream. In the chaos, Tracy boarded her boat, and beside her was a dark sea; the leaves on the seashore sprouted new buds, and a dark green flame burned in the air;
In the distance, a huge pale figure emerged. He held a sickle in his hand and stabbed at the shadow that was wriggling in the darkness in the distance.
This... Klein opened his eyes and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
This dream contains a lot of information, and a lot can be interpreted from it, but it is also abstract enough.
The pitch-black sea does not necessarily represent night. It could also be a vision caused by the extraordinary abilities of the "Black Knight" on the "Lost Homeland". Of course, there may be a deeper meaning in it, but it is too complicated, so Klein did not try to interpret it.
The green flame at the back might refer to the "Lost Homeland" that might appear here, which is the point where Klein thinks he might meet Tracy.
At first, Klein did not see the chaotic scene he witnessed in his dream very clearly.
He estimated that it might involve some high-level beings, and this divination was only for Tracy and had nothing to do with those beings, so there was no detailed description of which extraordinary people those vague figures represented.
The new buds on the leaves may mean that the time node of this dream is not now. It may take a long time for Klein to meet Tracy and find an opportunity to hunt her.
As for the huge pale figure that appeared at the last moment, Klein couldn't be sure whether it was Mr. Azik, the descendant of the God of Death, or some other existence. However, at the moment, it seemed that the pale figure was standing behind him, holding a sickle in his hand, and there was a high probability that he was on his side.
As he looked into the distance, Klein felt that the creeping darkness in the distance could not be interpreted from its appearance. It might refer to some high-level Beyonders or a disaster similar to that encountered by Backlund or Bayam before.
The reason why it looked like this might be similar to the chaos Klein saw at the beginning. Divination was not omnipotent, and this might involve some high-ranking extraordinary people.
It seems that it will take a long time for me to meet Tracy...
Klein stroked his chin and put the matter aside. After playing with the crystal ball, he simulated the feeling of a spirit falling and took the spirit of "Trickster" Mithor and his own spirit out of the gray fog.
Klein walked out of the bathroom and after waiting for a while, he saw Leonard rushing over.
Since the secret doll couldn't be too far away from him, Klein drove Danitz to another room, asked "The Whisperer" Misor to exchange clothes with Danitz, and asked "The Whisperer" Misor to pretend to be his servant.
Danitz himself was quite happy. He thanked Klein repeatedly and said that he would definitely contact Captain Edwina tomorrow.
Anyway, let's take a break now, and go to the Red Theater tomorrow morning to find Darkwill to complete Ouroboros's commission. As for what happens next, it's none of my business... Klein thought confidently in his heart:
I have to go on this mission alone, otherwise if others see me, they will definitely think that the usually cold and unromantic Captain Sparrow is fooling around in the Red Theater...
It's better not to let my identity go in an outrageous direction… I don't want the words "lustful" or "excessive indulgence" to appear in my own personality. Well, although this is not me, such a reputation will not make people happy…
Klein yawned, and after finishing the rest of his work, he closed his eyes and lay down on the bed.
After Klein lay down on the bed, he immediately felt an irresistible charm coming from the bed:
It was a perfect rest after a tiring night.
After a moment, Klein opened his eyes and looked at Leonard beside him, silent.
Shit, I forgot that this guy is a "Sleepless One" of the Night Path. A "Sleepless One" of Sequence 6 doesn't need much sleep anymore...
Klein looked at Leonard, who was reading a book with a night light on in a rather showy manner, and couldn't help but feel the world's deep malice towards him.
Noticing Klein's gaze, Leonard threw him a wink and flicked his hair in a rather coquettish manner.
Seeing this situation, Klein was at a loss whether to laugh or cry:
How come I found an "Insomniac" to be my roommate...
Zhou Mingrui, who inexplicably found some of the feeling of the "dormitory" before the time travel, used the extraordinary ability of the "Faceless Man" to move his eyes to the other side facing away from the light, and covered the light-transmitting area on that side with a quilt. Finally, he got some familiar and reassuring darkness.
It is indeed quite comfortable to wrap yourself in a quilt in winter... Klein thought subconsciously.
Hearing the sound of a fake poet flipping through pages, Klein's ears moved, and the flesh buds on them surged and slowly merged into his skin and flesh.
Well, this is not bad... Klein slowly closed his eyes and fell asleep.
