Chapter 96: 2 vs 1

A certain illusory feeling passed away, and Klein saw the strange candle in his hand again, and saw its pitch-black candlestick and pale flame.

The ground that was smashed by the Dawn Knight just now, the damaged chairs and the severed candles have returned to the state before the battle, and no damage can be seen.

Bishop Utravsky, who was originally standing on the opposite side, sat down on the chair in the first row at some point, bent forward, buried his head, and tightly covered his temples with both hands.

tick!

tick!

Sweat slid from his face and spread around his feet, where the ground was already wet.

Feeling that the strange candle had been snuffed out by Klein, Utravsky shivered suddenly, and raised his head under the gaze of the other party.

His slightly cloudy eyes were filled with tears, and weeping marks were criss-crossed on his wrinkled face.

But his eyes are sentimental, joyful, and clarifying.

If this "giant" bishop looked tall and heavy before, now he only has the weight of his body, not the weight of his spirit.

At this moment, Klein seemed to see a newborn baby.

Those tears are proof of new life.

The corners of Father Utravsky's mouth curled up a little bit, and he smiled kindly:

"You are much better than I expected."

"No, it's just because I had enough understanding in advance and made corresponding preparations. In the past, you not only didn't know what your opponent was good at, but you were also weakened a lot. If you fight like this with you in the real world , I should be thinking about how to escape." Klein replied frankly.

A prepared "magician" and an unprepared "magician" are completely different concepts... He added silently in his heart.

Bishop Utravsky didn't dwell on this issue, and said with ease all over his body:

"Thank you, my friend."

"According to the agreement, I will give you the formula of the 'Pharmacist', and there is another magical item.

"

While speaking, he took out a needle, hose, and container from the pocket of the brown priest's uniform.

"You have two options. This is one of them. When I got it, I didn't know its name, and I didn't think to name it after that. You can use it to draw a tube of blood, your own blood, and wait until the critical moment. , and then infuse it back, in this way, your fatigue will disappear, your diseases and injuries will be alleviated, and your strength, speed, balance and other aspects of quality will be temporarily but greatly improved." Utravsky The bishop pointed to the item in his hand.

"So, what about its limitations and hidden dangers?" Klein asked rationally.

Father Utravsky glanced at the needles and hoses with mysterious patterns, and introduced in detail:

"After taking out that tube of blood, you will be weak for a full twelve hours. The reinfusion within these twelve hours will not produce any effect. Of course, the specific time limit is not so precise. It depends on the individual's physique and state. Increase or decrease, in addition, it is best not to use it frequently, not more than once a week, otherwise the reinfused blood will not only bring strength, but also make you lose your mind for a short time, and the blood draws at short intervals will also make weakness your characteristic .”

"Aside from that, it has the problem that once you carry it with you for more than half an hour, you get a little nervous."

Fortunately, Bishop Utravsky didn't draw blood beforehand, otherwise, he in the past would be able to lose with this, and my chances of winning would be very low... Klein was the first to have such a thought.

Immediately, he frowned slightly, worried about the negative impact of that magical item.

Whether it is short-term loss of reason, or being weak for twelve hours, and becoming a little nervous, they are all hidden dangers that seem to be no big problems, but Klein, who has seen out-of-control people and heard the ravings of evil gods, believes that the mental state of Extraordinary Very important, if it runs at a low ebb for a long time, or has frequent abnormalities, it will easily lead to out of control phenomena, even if the Extraordinary has mastered the acting method!

"What about the second choice?" Klein was silent for two seconds.

Bishop Utravsky took out a simple brass key from another pocket, and said with a smile:

"It's called the 'Master Key', and it can help you open all locks that don't contain mysterious powers, as well as a small number of locks with supernatural effects. In places where there are no locks or doors, it can still open a passage that does not belong to reality. , Hehe, the premise is that there is no limit of extraordinary strength, and the obstacles are not too thick."

"Its spirituality is completely restrained. When it is not in use, it is difficult for Extraordinary people to see the difference between it and ordinary keys."

Father Utravsky stood up again, so Klein could only choose to look up.

The "giant" bishop stepped forward, came to the wall on one side of the church hall, and pressed the "master key" against the masonry.

He twisted it lightly, and his whole body suddenly seemed to have entered the water, and then the ripples swayed, penetrated the wall, and went outside.

Immediately afterwards, Bishop Utravsky returned to the church hall in the same way, returning to Klein's sight.

"Have you decided which magical item to choose?" the tall priest lowered his head and asked.

"Well, what are the hidden dangers of the 'Master Key'?" Klein asked after deliberation.

Bishop Utravsky smiled gently:

"People who carry it will occasionally get lost."

"According to others, it should be lost randomly."

get lost? I am a fortuneteller, with spiritual intuition... Klein muttered, and gradually made a decision in his heart.

After a few seconds, he said:

"I want the 'Master Key'."

He didn't want to have problems with his mental state and accumulate the risk of losing control.

It's a pity, what I want most is that strange candle... It is similar to the deepest part of the soul, the bottom of the dream, which is equivalent to my home field... He sighed in his heart.

"Okay." Bishop Utravsky handed the quaint brass key to Klein, and exchanged it for a strange candle wrapped in human skin.

When Klein examined the mystical item, he pointed to the back and said:

"The pharmacist's formula is in the room, I'll go get it, you wait here for a while."

Klein nodded in response. Taking advantage of Bishop Utravsky's figure disappearing into the hall, he took out a 1-penny copper coin and predicted whether the other party lied about the "Master Key".

After getting an affirmative answer, he walked to the wall with a row of candles in front of him, and pressed the ancient brass key against a hard obstacle.

Infused with spirituality, and turning the key, Klein's eyes suddenly appeared in a trance, which immediately became clear.

At this time, there were no longer burning candles, neat seats and straight walls in his sight, only withered grass and muddy ground with some garbage, and a gas street lamp stood standing out from the side.

"It really came out." Klein smiled and nodded, turned around, used the "Master Key" again, and successfully returned to the church hall.

After waiting for more than ten seconds, Utravsky came in with heavy steps, holding a roll of yellow-brown parchment in his hand.

"You can go for an appraisal. If there is a problem, I'm always at the Harvest Church." Bishop "Giant" handed the formula of "Apothecary" to Klein.

Main materials: the horn of an adult one-horned Pegasus, 3 grams of crystallized venom from the crown jellyfish... Klein opened his eyes and glanced at it, then responded with a smile:

"I'll check if it's true or not."

For example, divination above the gray mist... he added in his heart.

Bishop Utravsky nodded slightly, said nothing more, turned around and walked to the "Sacred Emblem of Life" of the Mother Earth.

He stretched out his arms and recited in a low voice:

"Thank you, source of life!"

"Praise be to you, mother of all things!"

...

Klein put away the "Master Key" and "Apothecary" formulas, and after Utravsky stopped, he said half-jokingly:

"Could it be that my coming is arranged by the Mother Earth God?"

What else do you thank Him for? Klein, a false follower of the Evernight Goddess, murmured inwardly.

"Yes, all of this is arranged by the Mother God, otherwise, the news that I asked for help would not have reached your ears, and I would not have come to Backlund, and I would not have harvested the 'Dream Candle' '." Bishop Utravsky smiled mildly, without any anger.

The complete and self-consistent believer logic, but... Klein suddenly felt unable to communicate with the other party, put his hand on his chest, saluted and said:

"Thank you for your generosity, it is time for me to say goodbye."

He straightened his body, quickly backed away, and quickly disappeared into the church hall, and disappeared into Rose Flower Street.

Ten minutes later, he saw the golden exterior of Harvest Church from another direction again, and the corner of his mouth couldn't help twitching.

"I can't go back without divination?" He said to himself silently, wanting to stubbornly rely on himself to overcome the matter of getting lost.

But his hands were quicker than his voice, and the branches of the street trees had been snapped off to make a makeshift divination staff.

"Divination stick method" can not only find people, but also find objects and find ways!

This time, Klein finally returned home smoothly, and went above the gray fog to confirm the authenticity of the formula and the hidden danger of the "Master Key".

…………

The next day, Sunday morning.

After waking up, Klein had breakfast, took out a pen and paper, and wrote a letter to Isengard Stanton, asking him to seek help from the police department to confirm the current situation of the suspects in the serial murder case four years ago— The targets of the attack were single prostitutes with one child.

After folding the letter paper and stuffing it into the envelope, Klein put on a black 1-penny stamp, put on his clothes, took his hat and cane, and walked out of his house, preparing to deliver it to the mailbox at the end of the street.

At this time, he saw Mrs. Starling Summer next door coming out with her husband, Mr. Luke, all dressed up.

A rental carriage had already parked at their door.

"Good morning, are you coming to the banquet so early?" Klein asked in a little surprise.

Luke laughed and said:

"It's not a banquet, it's more to help."

Mrs. Starling raised her chin slightly and added:

"Mary successfully entered the Kingdom's Air Pollution Investigation Committee. There will be a grand ball tonight, and we have to help in advance."

Mrs. Mary's wish fulfilled? Awesome... Klein said with emotion, smiled and said:

"Both, congratulate Mrs. Mary for me."

Luke Summer nodded and said:

"You haven't read the newspaper this morning, have you? All the members of the Air Pollution Investigation Committee have been published."

"The chairman of the committee is Sir Des Shaw, and the chief secretary is Mr. Hibbert Hall."
