Chapter 96 The Music of the Night

The dream that Klein drew up for himself was based on No. 160 Boklund Street. He pinched a lot of beauties into it, surrounded by Dawn Dantès, and perfectly created a well-informed and experienced man who Feng Ping had to suffer in the real world and endure the image of a rich man who can only indulge in one or two in his dreams.

Sitting on the sofa and receiving the red wine from a young girl, Klein noticed that the surrounding environment suddenly changed before he could taste it. From a brightly lit, elegantly decorated villa-type house filled with elegant beauties to a gloomy, dark, damp and dirty place. sewer.

Immediately afterwards, he saw five more familiar explosives in his hand.

Isn't this what I placed before? Klein was startled for a moment, then pretended to be shocked, threw away the explosives hastily, and looked around warily.

Seeing nothing unusual, he stepped back step by step, groped to find a vertical metal ladder, climbed up decisively and quickly, moved the manhole cover, and left the sewer.

As he returned to Berklund Street, the whole dream was shattered and he woke up.

Klein opened his eyes. Looking at the golden-decorated ceiling in the nearly dark room, he recalled what happened just now:

"Is this done by that demigod of the 'Thief' path?

"He escaped the pursuit of the Nighthawks and remained hidden nearby, because he was afraid that the 'Dark Emperor' who exposed his tracks would appear again, so he guided the dreams one by one to find the target?

"It's very possible! If it wasn't for me being able to stay awake and rational in the dream of someone intruding, I would have been driven by my subconscious just now to repeat the process of planting explosives to detonate the warning. After all, this is something I have done before, and I have a deep memory...

"Fortunately, I have summed up the rule of 'the puppet master should try to hide behind the scenes'. Whether exploring the sewer or meeting Triss, rely on the puppet. Even if you have to go there in person because the distance is not enough The spirit body used has turned around once through the gray fog, and it also carries items that interfere with prying and divination, making it impossible for people to find out who the real manipulator is. Already fled Backlund in embarrassment."

Thinking of this, Klein rejoiced for a while. At first, he didn't know what secrets were hidden in the sewers. He never expected that there would be a demigod, but he still abided by the rules of the "Master of Secret Puppets" and strictly demanded himself. Therefore, he successfully avoided the "Secret Master" "Performance" was debunked.

Backlund is really a dangerous place, and problems will arise if you are careless... Klein sighed, only to feel that the potion of his "Master of Puppets" had unknowingly digested a little.

When he calmed down, he said "hey" in his heart:

"Looks like that guy is still on Berklund Street,

There is a high probability that it will be hidden in Hazel's house, or even by her side.

"Hehe, if this demigod had invaded my dream a minute or two earlier, he would have been able to see the 'Snake of Destiny' Will Auceptin. Although this Sequence 1 angel is in a weak stage, that is only relatively Compared with the other angels, Ouroreus shouldn't have too much difficulty in dealing with a sneaky person who can't even "parasitize" Hazel directly. No mention of other abilities, just revealing a complete mythical creature form , can cause the same weak person to suffer serious injury.

"I bet that Will Auceptin must have foreseen it in advance, so he chose such a time period and successfully avoided being bumped into by other demigods.

"It's a pity that the 'Thief' demigod can't understand how dangerous it is to invade dreams at will in Backlund... Leonard must have a deep understanding of this situation..."

Klein restrained his thoughts, pretended nothing happened, and re-entered deep sleep with the help of meditation.

When the sun was rising in the sky, he woke up naturally, turned over and sat up, and changed into the appearance of Gehrman Sparrow, muttering a prayer:

"... Please tell Ms. 'Hermit' that the angel has accepted the condition of 'a short-term restoration of a certain strength during the weak period', and has agreed to carry out the transaction at the end of June and the beginning of July.

"You can ask Bernadette when I can see her."

After praying, Klein transformed back into Dwayne Dantès, got up and went into the bathroom to deal with his personal problems.

After brushing his teeth, washing his face, and becoming extremely energetic, he took four steps backwards, entered above the gray mist, turned the content of his prayer into an image, and threw it into the abyss symbolizing the "hermit". red star.

…………

On the "Future" docked at a port, "Admiral of the Stars" Cattleya watched Frank Lee stepping onto the pier full of expectations, preparing to find a place to sell some items and scrape together 8,000 pounds in cash to buy a "Druid" Extraordinary characteristics, couldn't help raising his hand to touch his forehead, feeling a little unconfident for no reason.

Although she thought that her own level, knowledge of occultism and magical items could hold down Frank Lee who became a "druid", but remembering the other party's wonderful ideas and terrifying practical ability, she felt that the problem was not wrong. It would be that simple, she didn't want to go above the gray mist to participate in the Tarot Club with a watermelon growing on her head and wheat ears all over her body.

Fortunately, he doesn't have the "Druid" potion formula yet, so there's no need to worry about him being promoted to Sequence 5 for the time being... Cattleya pushed her glasses and said a word of self-comfort.

At this moment, the illusory gray mist filled her eyes, and the words from Gehrman Sparrow sounded in her ears.

The angel agreed? "Admiral of the Stars" Cattleya's expression suddenly softened, and a small smile appeared uncontrollably.

Once she gets that drop of mythical creature blood, it means that she is very close to the demigod level!

She herself has the "occultist" potion formula, and has accumulated contributions before. She exchanged a main ingredient from the Moss Penance, and she also knows which channel has it and what to use for the remaining one. way to get.

Wait until July, July... Cattleya pursed her lips, her eyes peeked out from behind her thick glasses, and she slowly looked around the captain's cabin.

…………

On Thursday morning, Klein had just finished a classical literature class when he heard illusory and layered prayers.

Entering above the gray mist, he found that the supplicant was Cattleya the Hermit.

The "Admiral of the Stars" asked Mr. "Fool" to tell the "World", and the "Queen of Mysteries" has agreed to the request. If he is in Backlund, then meet at the south bank of the Tussoke River at 11 o'clock this evening, near the entrance of the bridge.

Bernadette is still stranded in Backlund... Klein manifested Gehrman Sparrow and responded in the affirmative.

At 10:58 in the evening, he entered the bathroom and took out a paper figurine from his pocket.

Snapped!

Klein shook, turning the paper figurine into Dwayne Dantès, sitting on the toilet with a book in his hand, seemingly in a trance.

Then, he was three or four centimeters shorter out of thin air, his face became thinner, his lines became much deeper, and he had already turned into Gehrman Sparrow.

Immediately afterwards, the glove on his left palm became transparent, and countless illusory shadows appeared inside.

Klein immediately saw that the surrounding colors were thick at first, and then distinct, overlapping layers, while himself fading and disappearing into the real world.

He quickly shuttled through the spirit world, constantly adjusting his direction according to his positioning, and within a few seconds, he appeared at the entrance of the Backlund Bridge on the south bank of the Tussoke River.

At this time, the night was dark, no one was walking on the bridge, and the surrounding area was extremely quiet, only a group of soldiers guarding the bridge could be vaguely seen standing not far away.

Klein was about to look for the "Queen of Mysteries" Bernadette when he suddenly saw turquoise pea vines hanging down from the sky, intertwining into a lush forest.

The top of this "forest" cannot be seen upwards, and the vines form different paths, interspersed or circled, all the way to the sky.

Klein was only stunned for a second, then randomly found a path made of pea vines, hanging in mid-air, and walked forward step by step.

After an unknown amount of time, he saw those green plants connecting into a hammock-like seat, swaying gently on a high place.

The "Queen of Mysteries" was sitting there, wearing a white Intis-style shirt and a dark black jacket, with a thin rapier on her waist. Except for not wearing a three-cornered hat, she was dressed like a standard sea captain.

She did not only reveal a pair of black leather boots like when she was in contact with Sherlock Moriarty in Backlund before. At this time, her long chestnut hair was naturally draped down, and she looked over with deep blue eyes, soft but soft. He said without emotion:

"Thank you for the existence behind you."

I still have a lot of respect for The Fool. Well, the few questions I answered before should have cleared up a lot of her doubts... Klein, wearing the "mask" of Gehrman Sparrow, responded politely:

"OK."

Bernadette's eyes did not move, she still looked at him and said:

"What's the matter with you this time?"

Klein paused for a second, and spoke the language he had organized long ago:

"I would like to ask you for help to make him appear in a state where he has been eroded by the core power of the seal behind the Chanis Gate of the Church of Evernight for a long time."

While speaking, Klein made "Resentful Soul" Senior appear beside him.

Bernadette took a deep look at the "Admiral of Blood" who was standing upright, and didn't ask Sherlock Moriarty or Gehrman Sparrow why they knew they had a solution, and said calmly:

"The sealed cores of different churches of the Evernight Church are different, and the state of being corroded is also different.

"Is it the 'Dark Night' pathway, or the 'Death God' pathway, or something else?

"Is it the main church of the parish, or the general city center church?"

She directly eliminated the option of the Church of Tranquility, the headquarters of the Evernight Church, because even the King of Angels would not dare to make an idea there.

Klein recalled and said:

"Diocesan Church, 'Dark Night' Passage."

"Queen of Mysteries" Bernadette nodded lightly and said:

"Then I can let him be corroded accordingly, but in this way, your secret puppet will be basically destroyed, and it can be used normally at first, but as time goes by and the erosion deepens, he will gradually fall asleep. Never wake up again."

"Can you extend the time for complete erosion as much as possible?" Klein held back his distress and asked.

The secret puppet "Admiral of Blood" Senior is the most valuable of all his properties!

Bernadette said calmly:

"Up to two months."

Klein struggled for two seconds before replying expressionlessly:

"OK."

He immediately put his hands on his chest and saluted:

"Thank you for your help."

"Queen of Mysteries" Bernadette didn't speak any more, she looked away, stretched out her right hand, and outlined words in mid-air that were different from the Giant language, the Dragon language, the Elven language, and the ancient Hermes language.

Those words, with star-like brilliance, were intertwined into strange symbols, which seemed to open a secret door leading to the depths of the spirit world.

The "secret door" opened, a gust of wind blew out, and the upper body turned into a man wrapped in a white cloth.

"The Horn of Sleep." Bernadette said in a soft but majestic voice.

The man with upper body and lower body responded respectfully, and took out a human skull from a white cloth.

The eye sockets of this skull are deep and dark, and it is difficult to see the bottom, while the rest of the skull has holes of different shapes one after another, and the surrounding area is full of cracks, as white as jade.

Bernadette took the "Horn of Sleep", glanced at Gehrman Sparrow and said:

"You step back at least 50 meters."

Klein didn't ask why, and left "Wraith" Senor where he was, and walked away quickly along the road paved with pea vines.

After more than 50 meters, he suddenly heard a distant, peaceful, sad and dark melody.

Subconsciously, Klein looked up and saw Bernadette sitting with her back slightly bent under the pea vines. She moved her chestnut hair lightly, lowered her head, and brought the "human skull" to her mouth. , Let the holes blow out the airflow, intertwined into the movement of the night.

The movement carried a calming force and a touch of sadness, and it spread little by little, but it did not disturb the bridge guards outside the pea vine forest.

Klein stood there, listening carefully, and thoughts of home suddenly surged in his heart.

It is the home that a long-time traveler longs for and cannot touch.
