Chapter 39: The Smugglers
What is a "snake of fate" interested in what it feels appropriate?Crane sat up slowly, taking a cushion behind him.
He thought about it for a while, and decided not to think about it for now, because it was at least a month before Will Unsetin was born, and he could still leave this question to the "Hermit" Gadelia or the "Mysterious Queen" Bernardette behind her, and let them worry about it.
Of course, Klein does not rule out the possibility that Will Onsetin decided to give birth prematurely.
He slowly shifted his attention to crafting the "Time Worm" charm, which, according to Will "Serpent of Destiny", had almost everything he could do, except for a corresponding symbol.
Pray to the "Fool" and harness the power of the mysterious space above the gray mist...... I don't know if the symbol corresponding to the "thief" path will work...... Even if it does, I don't know, unless I can pull a thief into the gray mist and make the pattern appear behind the corresponding high-backed chair...... As Klein pondered the details, an idea suddenly came to him:
In that case, maybe try the symbol behind the seat of the "fool"!
A special symbol consisting of half a "pupilless eye" that represents secrecy and half a "twisted thread" that symbolizes change!
"I don't know if it's useful...... Divination can't be done to elimination, but I can predict whether the attempt will go well, and, even if it fails, it shouldn't be a big problem, anyway, it's yourself who prays, even if the material is lost in the experiment, it will only enter the gray fog, and it won't be lost......" Thinking of this, Klein Huo Ran was a little excited, and couldn't help but turn over and get out of bed, preparing to do the "experiment" tonight!
"Time Worm" This material belongs to the "thief" demigod left by Amon this person, although he is dead, but the essence is still there, the level is still there, the spell made with it, even if it is hindered by various problems, it cannot reach the angel level, it will not be too far behind, it belongs to the peak power of the sage level, if Klein can succeed, it is equivalent to one more hole card, and at the critical moment, maybe it can give him one more life, which makes him how not excited, how not to look forward to it!
I can only pry the little power of the mysterious space above the gray mist, and the level of the "Worm of Time" spell should be lowered a little, but no matter what, it will definitely be stronger than the "Ninth Law" that Admiral Emilius gave me...... If you use the "breath of the whisperer" to make a high-level spell in the demon realm, it should be similar to the ninth law, but unfortunately, I don't dare to pray to the "dark side of the universe...... Dressed in his pajamas and barefoot, Crane took four steps backwards on the soft, thick carpet, chanted a mantra and entered the gray mist.
After sitting at the top of the bronze table, the "Fool", he took on a dark red round-bellied pen and tawny parchment, and wrote the corresponding divination sentences:
"The spell making I am about to start will go well. β
Untying the pendulum from his cuffs, Klein held it in his left hand and began to meditate.
After repeating the divination statement seven times, he opened his eyes and looked ahead, only to see that the citrine pendant was turning clockwise, at a slower speed and with a normal amplitude.
This means that it will go smoothly...... But the question is, did he successfully prove that the symbol was useful, or did he successfully prove that it was useless? Crane, a veteran soothsayer, tried to decipher the revelation, but could not get a definitive answer.
He had no choice but to experiment, because without this he could not rule out mistakes.
Immediately afterward, Klein wrote a new divination statement:
"The assassination of Mr. X on Friday this week is dangerous. β
This time, the citrine pendant still rotates clockwise, but faster and with a greater amplitude.
There is no small danger, but not to the extent that there are demigods involved, let alone the king of angels...... If this level of existence is really involved, he will definitely be able to perceive and counter my divination...... It seems that the "Angel of Destiny" Ulorius will soon be lured out of Beckland...... This means that the danger itself is more concentrated in Mr. X and his men, and is within the realm of what I can handle...... As long as you don't make mistakes, the chances are great...... Klein made a judgment, put down the pen and paper, and returned to the real world.
As an occult expert who often made charms, he had no shortage of common materials, so he immediately turned out a candle, lit it on his desk, and then set up a simple altar in the light of dusk, and used a carving knife to draw the composite symbol representing the "fool" on the front of the silver sheet.
Since Klein himself didn't know what spiritual number the "fool" corresponded to, and what magic marks it had, he had to keep the pros and cons the same - according to the books of spells he had read, this also met the rules of the occult, but the corresponding power would be reduced, and the probability of failure would increase, because the existence you prayed for was easy to think that you were not pious and respectful enough, of course, this is no problem for Klein, and he will not dislike himself.
After completing the initial engraving, Crane took out a metal vial and used a spiritual vessel to guide the mercury inside, filling it with the pattern traces of the silver sheet.
This time, he only finished the front for the time being, and then summoned himself, and he responded to himself, bringing the little worm with the 12 transparent rings back to the room and placing it on a silver sheet.
After doing all this, Crane adjusted the altar, took two steps back, and spoke in the ancient Hermetian language:
"Fools who don't belong to this era......"
He followed the process and completed the corresponding steps, and then walked four steps backwards, entered the gray mist, contained the "Black Emperor" card, and responded to the prayer with his own spirituality to pry the little power of the mysterious space above the gray mist.
As the surging power poured into the aperture, Crane returned to the real world without hesitation, and saw that the altar had become deep and dark, as if it was hiding countless secrets, and the silver flakes had floated, semi-fused with the corpse of the "Time Worm".
Crane took two steps forward and flipped the silver sheet over, filling the back with mercury for the symbols.
The lines then lit up and bloomed with a gray brilliance.
Crane quickly withdrew his hand, watching as the brilliance grew stronger, enveloping the silver flakes and the corpse of the "Time Worm" inside.
Suddenly, the deep darkness of the altar distorted, and the entire space seemed to be abnormal.
The change flickered, and a spell covered with strange patterns slowly fell on the surface of the desk, it was translucent and dark black, like a small card made of special crystals, and it was like the eyes of some being, watching the world.
Klein was overjoyed, and hurriedly stepped forward to pick up the charm, only to feel that his hand was cold, as if he had touched a snowflake.
Regardless of the final effect of the spell, taking shape means success!
Crane has once again obtained a demigod-level high-level charm!
He was busy for a while, brought the finished product into the gray mist, and used the technique of "dream divination" to roughly figure out the effect:
This dark crystal card-like spell has a single but powerful effect, which is to steal someone else's fate, and more accurately, graft fate, grafting the fate of the target for a period of time onto yourself!
The simplest case is that when the enemy is about to kill me, I use this spell to steal his fate to survive smoothly, graft my imminent death fate to him, and then it will appear, and it is clear that he succeeded, but it was he who died...... In line with the usual characteristics of the "thief" approach, but it is more evil and terrifying...... This is stealing money all the way to fate...... If the "Time Worm" is alive, and I can fully leverage the power of the mysterious space above the gray mist, then this spell may also point to the realm of time...... While Crane diverged his thoughts, he felt afraid:
Without the gray mist blocking and "disinfection", without the help of a little power in this mysterious space, he would not be able to do any "Time Worm" at all!
Phew, now it's mine...... You can't call it a "Time Worm" anymore, just call it a "smuggler...... Crane gets busy again, bringing the "Stealer" spell back to the real world.
Disposing of the remnants of the ritual, he solemnly placed the high-grade charm in the iron cigarette case, placed it with the Azic bronze whistle and the gold SeΓ±or coin, and sealed and separated it with a spiritual wall.
Crane, who was in a good mood, lost his sleepiness for a while, and brushed the curtain open the cracks, allowing the crimson moonlight from the outside world to shine in, illuminating the peace and tranquility of the room.
While admiring the scenery, he suddenly saw a figure sneaking out of the house of Councillor Makht, following the shadow, moving closer to this side.
This is none other than Hazel Macht, who once again reached the entrance to the sewer, removed the manhole cover, climbed down, and did not forget to recover.
Why does she always run into the sewers? It shouldn't be from here to go to other areas to play the superhero of the mysterious world, after all, it takes less than 1 hour each time, and it is difficult to accomplish anything unless there is a particularly strong intelligence support, and it is easy to be captured by the official organization...... Combined with the picture shown by "Magic Mirror" Arodes, she is more like she is looking for something...... Well, it's easy to get into danger if you keep exploring deep into the sewers...... Crane stood behind the curtains, watching what he found in the quiet night.
He didn't try to warn Hazel, or directly use a "resentful spirit" possession to make the other party understand the dangers of the transcendent world, this is because he doesn't know much about Hazel in the mysterious realm, so his judgment of superiority is subjective and can't be determined for the time being, and the second is that he doesn't know why the other party has extraordinary abilities and magical items, and he is kind enough to remind the other party to repay the other party for his good deeds last time, which can easily attract unnecessary attention and even trouble.
After enjoying a peaceful night, Klein re-entered the bed and slept until dawn.
Before Richardson came in, he took the form of Gelman Sparrow and prayed to the "Fool":
β...... I can take on this task, but whether it succeeds or not, I want your bracelet, a stone, and access to that magic book for a while.
"If it succeeds, all the loot will be mine, and you can only take the target's head.
"You'll have to provide assistance if necessary. β
