Chapter 106 The Image in the Void of History
Sitting obliquely behind the statue is an old man in a black robe. He is wearing a hood, his head is drooping, his eyes are closed tightly, and the white beard around his mouth is long and dense, as if it has not been trimmed for more than ten years. People can't see the original appearance.
In Klein's eyes, this bearded old man was even weirder than those figures hanging in the air.
After his "spiritual body thread" extended from his body, it did not float to the sky and converge to the place where the "magnet" seemed to be hidden, but circled around his body and returned to the place where it came out, the source And the finish line becomes one!
The normal "threads of the spiritual body" originate from the living beings, and extend in different directions until infinity. For those figures hanging from above, the source of the "threads of the spiritual body" has not changed, but the end points of the extension are all concentrated in the Once you get to the top of this ancient church, there is no small problem at first glance.
That's why he wasn't suspended? Or, is this his way to avoid the danger inside the church? While manipulating his "spiritual body strings" to resist the tendency to float upward, Klein whispered to himself, speculating on the reason.
Suddenly, he saw a pair of eyes, the eyes were as black as the eyes of dull water.
The old man sitting obliquely behind the statue suddenly opened his eyes.
he is alive!
Klein subconsciously took a step back, arched his body slightly, and blocked the front with his left palm.
In the indescribably palpitating silence and tension, the eyes of the pale bearded old man moved slightly, his mouth was half-closed, and he said vaguely:
"Finally another 'Seer' has come here..."
again? Has there ever been another "Seer" Path Extraordinary entered this church? That's right, apart from the people who were wiped out by the "eraser" angel will come to Misty Town, the creatures who disappeared at night in the ruins of God's War will also appear here, and there may be a few people trying to find mermaids in that sea area Or a "Seer" path Extraordinary who has been successfully promoted and is about to leave... Klein saw that the other party didn't attack him immediately and was inclined to communicate, so he forcibly stabilized his emotions and asked after thinking:
"why would you say so?"
The hooded old man with black eyes and white beard did not respond directly, but asked in a vague and deep voice:
"Do you want to escape from here?
"I can tell you how."
Klein was not moved, and immediately asked:
"Then why are you still here?"
Now that you know the way to escape this foggy town,
Why do you still stay in this dangerous church?
The old man hung his head halfway, and laughed twice in his throat:
"Because I'm already dead."
"..." The hairs on Klein's back stood up, unable to speak.
In his eyes, this old man does not exist in the form of a soul!
Seeing that there was no response from the other side, the old man slowly raised his head, glanced at Klein who was disguised as Gehrman Sparrow, and said:
"Using my special extraordinary ability, I found the hole in the history and destiny of this world, cut out my own image, fixed it here, and maintained it until now. As for my body and my spirit, they have long been completely dead and completely dissipated."
This ability is unbelievable... Klein had no way of verifying the authenticity, so he could only ask instead:
"Then why did you guide the 'Seer' who entered here to escape?"
The old man's voice was still vague:
"After you open the gate, the history and destiny here will change, and the image I cut out will also disappear. At that time, you will see a jar of ashes.
"I just wish they were sprinkled into the Serenzo river near Trier, the capital of Intis, which is my hometown, where I was born.
"Can you understand this place name? I don't know how long the real world has passed."
Imprisoned here for at least a hundred years? Klein responded frankly:
"They still exist."
"Very good." The old man nodded as if there was phlegm in his throat.
Although Klein didn't quite trust the person in front of him, he still decided not to waste time, lest he be interrupted by accident:
"Then how should I escape?"
The old man was still sitting there, without any obvious movements:
"See that wall behind this statue?
"Is there a hollow in there?"
Klein actually didn't want to do what he said, because he was induced by the witch Pannadia in this way before, and saw her incomplete mythological creature form, and was shocked and hurt. However, he also planned to look around just now, looking for There were no clues, so in the end, he moved his eyes cautiously and looked at the wall behind the stone statue.
There are short and clumsy symbols engraved one after another, but there is an empty piece in the middle, which cannot be connected to form.
The blank area was the size of two palms, and it was obviously sunken inward, as if someone had dug away the stone bricks on the surface.
"As long as you can find the corresponding piece of obsidian and place it here, this wall can get rid of the 'hidden' state and present an illusory color. At that time, I will tell you a complicated and special symbol. It is the key to open the escape door on the wall." The bearded old man did not turn his head, looked straight ahead, and said in detail.
Complicated and special symbols...the key to open the door... Klein heard the raving "Honakis...Freguera..." echoing in the wind behind him, and a symbol suddenly popped up in his mind:
That is a vertical eye made up of many hidden symbols!
That was the message passed to him by the Antigonus Family Notes by infecting the "Muppet of Doom"!
And the Antigonus family seems to be closely related to the "Night Kingdom" on the main peak of the Hornaches Mountains!
Is this the so-called "key to open the door"? Klein retracted his gaze calmly, and asked:
"Why did all the 'seers' before fail?"
Sitting obliquely behind the statue, the old man wearing a hood laughed and said:
"Some of them are as talkative as you. They didn't have time to leave this church before the red moon was clear, and they were hung up on it. The guy who made a handsome face for himself is, and the guy with flawless facial features So does the little girl."
"..." Klein was almost speechless after being ridiculed by the other party.
However, he also knew a situation based on this, that is, when the red moon is clear, the danger inside the church will rise exponentially, and even the "Master of Secret Puppet" can no longer control the power of his spirit body. Wire!
Always pay attention to the changes in the light. As soon as the red moon is clear, it will "go through the wall"... Klein glanced around and confirmed that the outer wall closest to the pitch-black altar is six or seven meters away, and then quickly drew up an emergency plan in his mind. plan.
The old man in the hood did not look up at him, and continued on his own:
"The rest were unlucky enough to encounter enemies who had lost their minds and wanted only food, and were eaten by them.
"As you know, there are not many Extraordinary people in the 'Seer' path, and even fewer can become 'Puppet Masters', and the number of people who came here for various reasons can be counted on one hand.
"Of course, there are many more people who are attracted and lured here than this, but it is very difficult to enter here, they are all in..."
Before he finished speaking, he raised his head slowly, looked at the highest point of the ancient church, and said vaguely:
"The ending is equally tragic."
What do you mean... If I fail to steal the notes, I have to follow the whispers of the corpses hanging in this church, climb the main peak of the Hornaches Mountains, and look for the treasure left by the Antigonus family, right? Is it the ones who are attracted and seduced? Difficult to get into here, with an equally tragic ending? Klein's thoughts changed, and combined with the dilapidated palace and transparent worm group seen in the previous divination, he became more and more suspicious that the so-called treasure of the Antigonus family was a trap.
He didn't bother to inquire about this matter in detail, and inquired about more important information first:
"Do you know where that obsidian is?"
The old man smiled and said:
"It's in the hands of that 'Witch of Despair'."
"Witch of Despair", it turns out that Pannatia is really "Witch of Despair"... Klein had called Panatia secretly before, but it was because he knew that she was honored as "Lady of Despair" and she must be a witch. So he simply put together a nickname from the two situations. What he didn't expect was that Sequence 4 of the "Witch" pathway might really be called "Desperate Witch".
"Then it will be difficult for me to get that piece of obsidian. She is a real demigod." Klein didn't hide his embarrassment, and waited to see what advice the other party would give.
The old man shook his head and said:
"I'm a long dead man with very little help.
"Hmm... When you came in, wasn't there a Secret Puppet?"
"Yes, but it has already been eaten by the 'Witch of Despair'." Klein replied seemingly calmly.
The old man half-sighed and half-smiled:
"Let me help you summon him from the history of this world."
As soon as he finished speaking, Klein saw the lines around him quickly drawn, depicting the "Admiral of Blood" Senor wearing a three-cornered hat and a dark red jacket, and the "thread of the spirit body" was still under his control!
Klein's eyes suddenly shrank and froze, and the hooded old man added to his ears:
"It can only last for a quarter of an hour, you have to grasp the time well.
"I'll help you strengthen your connection and improve your control over the marionette. In this way, you can let the marionette use your extraordinary ability, and you can exchange positions with him in an instant. Hehe, the distance of manipulation and the characteristics of being alive are also great. will be improved accordingly.”
Let Secret Puppet use my extraordinary ability? In this way, can't I use the ability of "Faceless Man" to turn Secret Puppet into another me? The perfect stand-in? Is this a demigod of the "Seer" pathway? Is this one of the abilities of the "Crafting Mage"? The enemy will never know whether it is the real "Crafty Mage" or not? Also, summoning a secret puppet from history is simply beyond imagination... One thought after another popped up in Klein's mind rapidly, and it was difficult to calm down.
The old man looked up at him and continued:
"Give me a paper man."
Klein frowned slightly, hesitated for a few seconds, then took out a paper figurine and handed it to the other party.
The old man stretched out his withered palm, took the paper figurine, and wiped it casually.
Klein's headache, brain fever and stuffy nose and throat suddenly disappeared!
The paper figurine was stained with spots of red rust, and quickly became brittle and cracked.
Use my paper man to help me transfer the disease? Klein thought for a while, and finally asked:
"Excuse me for my rudeness just now, what should I call you?"
The old man didn't answer immediately, but sighed and said:
"That's all I can offer."
He paused, then smiled vaguely:
"You can call me, uh...
"Zaratul."
