Chapter 189 Politeness Part 1

When it comes to understanding the ancient gods, Klein knows no less than many high-sequence powerhouses. After all, there is a Silver City behind him that has continued from the Second Epoch to the present, where corresponding myths are passed down and many influences remain.

As far as he knew, Gregory, the ancestor of the phoenix, was the so-called ancient god of death. He was shattered and fell at the end of the second era because he was severely injured by the creator of the City of Silver, the sun god who was eaten by the king of angels.

However, his influence has not disappeared, and there are still some traces in the current era, because he is the pioneer of the underworld!

City of the Dead... "Unknown Soul"... Ancient God... This sounds very dangerous... Klein looked at the radio receiver in front of him and fell into deep thought.

Da da da, another piece of illusory white paper spit out

"Other than these, I don't know anything else.

"Great master, I have a suggestion, do you want to hear it?"

That's a good question... Klein withdrew his thoughts, nodded slightly and said

"Say."

The rattling sound of the radio telegraph became brisk, and soon a line of words appeared on the illusory white paper

"About Calderon, you can ask 'Red Light' Almoria."

In the end, I still couldn't get around the "red light"... Klein nodded slightly, then asked

"Will it be dangerous if I take off the mask of 'Admiral of Hell' Ludwell?"

"No!" A resolute word jumped into Klein's eyes.

That's good... he thought for a while

"That's it for today."

"Great master, wise master, wait a minute or two, and someone will watch you! Your loyal servant, Arrods, is waiting for your next call. Goodbye~" the radio receiver clicked The click didn't hesitate at all.

Another minute or two? Why didn't you say it earlier? Klein was startled, as if he saw the countdown to a time bomb, and quickly used the materials from the altar that hadn't been revoked yet to be put away, held a sacrificial ceremony, and threw the radio receiver into the gray mist.

After doing all this and confirming that there were no abnormal changes in the surroundings, Klein asked Secret Puppet Ludwell to take the initiative to step aside, avoiding the front, and took off the silver-white mask on his face.

A deep, pale light gushed out at once, but it wasn't as exaggerated as what Klein saw when he fought Ludwell last time. It just covered a small area around him, like a candle that was about to burn out.

At the same time, the cold and gloomy feeling in the nearby forest that disappeared because the radio receiver was sent back above the gray mist reappeared, and there were more horrors that could not be described clearly but hit the soul directly.

This reminded Klein of the cemetery and the legendary underworld.

After waiting for a few seconds, seeing that there were no additional abnormal outbreaks, he asked another Secret Puppet, "Winner" Enzo, to go around in front of "Hell Admiral" Ludwell, carefully observing the face that had been covered by the mask for a long time hole.

This face lacks flesh and blood, the skin is tightly attached to the bones and has no color at all, it is as transparent as crystal.

Under the "crystal", one after another indescribable transparent shadows are flowing rapidly, sometimes combining with the skull, sometimes shrinking in the gap and appearing on the teeth.

If it had been a month or two after time travelling, Klein would have been scared to death by the appearance of the "Admiral of Hell", but now, he has seen too many strange out-of-control people and mutants, and he would not be scared by such a person at all. This level of appearance shakes the soul.

After another "research", Klein completely figured out Ludwell's state.

This all stems from the special nature of the "janitor" itself.

At Sequence 5, after becoming a "gatekeeper", Extraordinary people can use their bodies as cages to belong to the "underworld" alone, accommodating a certain number of soul bodies, dead people, and natural spirits, thereby gaining various unique abilities and possessing powerful abilities. Helper, you don't have to go anywhere with an army of undead, which is very eye-catching.

In many folklore, this has given rise to the "spirit behind" stories.

——Another meaning of "gatekeeper",

It is also the oldest meaning, which is to guard the "underworld" in the body, prevent the contained spirits from escaping, and make use of them. This is also symbolized by an illusory door that opens across.

As for the "Ancient God of Death", after Gregory, the ancestor of the phoenix, opened up the underworld, it was equivalent to giving a small amount of authority in the realm of the God of Death to all the "gatekeepers", allowing all Extraordinary in this sequence to gain a certain degree of strength improvement.

The reason why "Admiral of Hell" Ludwell always wears that mask is because he accommodates a powerful underworld creature. On the one hand, this creature is used by him, and on the other hand, it erodes his body in reverse, transforming him For the existence of half undead and half human, at the same time, this creature is always instinctively connecting to the underworld, trying to open the gate and return there.

This combined with the "Gatekeeper"'s own ability and authority, as well as the increase in the death ring, allowed "Admiral of Hell" Ludwell to enlarge the "Gate of the Underworld" and directly drive the "Black Tulip" to enter.

Half undead, half human... No wonder Ludwell dared to enter the underworld. A real living person cannot survive there even for a second... Well, that underworld creature gave him the special ability to transform parts of his body into souls, which can separate his body from death. Taking out other people's spirit bodies, I have encountered it before... Klein suddenly let the "Hell Admiral" put on the silver-white mask again.

The function of this mask is to requiem the soul, keeping the underworld creatures in Ludwell's body in a relatively peaceful state most of the time.

After solving his doubts, Klein turned his attention back to the altar.

He is going to try to "contact" the seven lights of the spiritual world.

In this regard, there are special secret agreement rituals and corresponding psychic rituals to choose from. After consideration, Klein chose the latter one, because in the secret agreement ceremony, he himself has to let go of his heart and spirit, and contact the pointed existence. Thereby gaining a certain knowledge, power, help or spiritual experience, which will cause his own thoughts and secrets to be opened to that being.

As for the psychic rite, there are two kinds of direct communication and requesting the other party to send a spirit. Because the seven lights of the spirit world have extremely high personalities, Klein can't guarantee that the other party will respond in accordance with the requirements of the ceremony. The "psychic" of the empty dialogue, but also made additional preparations for the "spiritual seance" to show sincerity.

After lighting the three candles and dripping liquids such as peppermint essential oil, Klein deliberately took out a paper figurine and placed it on the altar as a carrier for "spiritual seance"—if there is no similar thing, the target of prayer will be The "spirit descending" is on him, just like when Danis asked "Vice General Iceberg" Edwina to descend the spirit, there are two situations, one is that the possessed person completely loses consciousness and is controlled by the corresponding existence , to answer other people’s questions, and the second is that the possessed person remains awake and can control certain parts of the body, so as to have questions and answers with the spirit descendant. The simplest example is that one can speak with the mouth, and the other manipulates the hand to write.

Klein quickly finished the first part of the ceremony, took a step back, opened his mouth, and recited in ancient Hermes

"I!

"I pray in my name

"I pray to communicate with 'the eternal light of the spiritual world, the embodiment of endless knowledge, the red of authority and will'..."

The biggest difference between this psychic rite and the normal ones is that one cannot pray to the gods. Regardless of the "Goddess of the Night" or the "God of Knowledge and Wisdom", honorable names cannot appear in the ceremony, otherwise it will inevitably lead to failure.

From the perspective of mysticism, this means that the seven lights of the spiritual world do not belong to or serve any gods.

As words that could communicate with the spirit of nature were uttered one by one, Klein saw the three candles expand at the same time, connecting together with a slight crackling sound, as if a door of light had been opened.

The surroundings of the altar suddenly became silent and dark, and pairs of inexplicable eyes looked at them from different places.

The cold wind blew violently, and except for the three candles, everything on the altar floated into the air. Among them, the paper figurine wobbled and stood upright, and its surface was stained with a rich, clear and not at all bloody red.

"Hello." Klein said according to the correct interaction model he summed up while recalling the things related to the seven lights of the spiritual world described in some occult books.

He acted like he was confronting a teacher.

The head of the bright red paper figurine moved slightly, and made an illusory but majestic voice

"Hello."

It's quite polite... Sure enough, the psychic became a psychic, but fortunately, he was prepared in advance... Various thoughts flashed in Klein's mind, and he said sincerely and respectfully

"Your Excellency Almoria, I have something to ask you."

"You can call me Almoria directly, please tell me." The paper figurine floating in mid-air seemed to be more polite than Klein.

"I want to know information about the city of Calderon." Klein didn't change his attitude. After all, there is a saying in the Foodie Empire that it doesn't hurt to be courteous.

The bright red and almost transparent paper man pondered for two seconds and said,

"May I know your purpose?"

Klein didn't hide anything, and said frankly

"Hunting spirit world predators."

Paperman's head moves slightly

"This is indeed only easy to find in Calderon City. In other places, the spiritual predators are like a drop of water entering the sea. It is very difficult to distinguish. Even I can only find it occasionally and cannot lock it for a long time.

"Some of them are active in the core area of ​​Calderon City, and a small amount are scattered in the outer layer. As long as you don't try to go deep, there is actually not much danger. Unfortunately, some special things there prevent us Qiguang from entering, otherwise we It can also be of some practical help.”

"Is that the divine kingdom of the ancient god Gregory?" Klein was sure, and asked a confirmation question.

Bright Red Paper Humanity

"Yes, the ancient god of death hoped to use this 'city of the dead' to be resurrected, but he failed completely, and his authority was taken by that god of death, Balam.

"However, this also makes Calderon City more dangerous, because the layout left by the ancient gods has changed after the failure. I don't know what it looks like."

That's it... Klein nodded indistinctly, and asked multiple questions from different aspects, all of which received relatively satisfactory answers.
