Chapter 234 Promotion

rustle.
In the room filled with dusk light, Klein quickly flipped through the books in his hand and talked to the "Black Saint" from time to time.
Leomaster also sat cross-legged on the ground, wearing a robe dyed golden by the light. This is a real, ancient demigod who also has good intentions for him. In addition, the real creator has made it clear that he wants to invite him to tea. It is simply unreasonable not to take the opportunity to ask for some information.
After flipping through the Bible for a while, Klein found that the amount of intelligence information in it was so overwhelming that it made one's head go numb. Although the main framework was a tribute to the ancient sun god, there were stories from the Second Era to fill out the content. An overview of the situation and the approximate paths of the ancient gods. There is also mention of eight angelic kings surrounding the Lord, but their names are all unclear.
Klein asked Leo Master:
"Do you still remember the names of the eight angel kings?"
"Why are their names concealed?"
Leomaster, who had closed his eyes to meditate, opened his eyes and said solemnly: "First, don't take their names in vain, and refer to them by their angels' titles when praying."
"Second..." Leo Master hesitated, "In this world, there are only three people left who can still be called by their real names."
Can't call me by my real name? It's like they can't be looked at directly. What he means is "call them by their real names", which means that the eight angel kings are not dead...none of them are dead? But only three people can still be called?
Well, one of the two sons of the ancient Sun God, the "Angel of Time" Amon seems to be the type that can be called. "The Sun" had seen Amon's clone in the Land Abandoned by the Gods, and their chief also directly called him by this name, but nothing terrible happened, and Amon's true form did not appear to silence them...
Then the other two... "Angel of Destiny" Ouroleus seems to be able to do it too. He has already arrived in Silver City, so the chief will definitely call him by his name occasionally... What's more, their names are both Silver. The city was handed down through ancient records.
There is another one, maybe the "Red Angel" Medici...
In other words, Adam, another son of the ancient sun god, does not belong to the ranks of "can be called"? How is He different from His brothers?
Klein asked again: "Why can't we call them by their names? Is it just special in this sea area?"
Leo Master shook his head: "They have already erased their names."
"Why?"
Leomaster hesitated: "Your Majesty the Messenger, you should ask the Lord. I am not qualified to tell you the secret history."
Not qualified... Klein had no choice but to nod and change the question:
"Is there still a way to the land abandoned by God?"
The little boy "Jack" that everyone in Silver City met during the inspection probably did not go in by the normal route, because "The Sun" once said that "Jack" had a human face on his belly, and that face was similar to Uroliu. Si's face is very similar. "Jack" must have been blessed, or chartered, by the "Angel of Destiny" to become the only survivor and be found alive by the Silver City exploration team.
Leomast nodded: "The noble 'Angel of Destiny' will open a pilgrimage path for the blessed."
"And we, the Aurora Society, hold another way to the Lord's sanctuary. However, going there requires the Lord's approval."
At this point, he sighed and replied with a wry smile: "I failed to get the approval because I spent too long fighting the dark side, far exceeding the pilgrimage time limit, and was completely out of touch. . I made a big mistake and lost myself in the process of atonement. My faith and soul were not pure enough. After this time, I will continue to practice hard, cleanse my sins, and redeem myself."
"Where is this road?"
"Enter from somewhere in the sea of ruins of the God War, pass through the gaze of the false sun, pass through the sea filled with dreams, and cross the fertility and thunderstorms. It must be in this order, otherwise it is not the right path."
"Then we can reach our island. The Black Temple you saw in your dream is the end of this road."
Klein's breathing stopped for half a second: "By passing through the black monastery in reality, can you reach the Land Abandoned by God?"
Leonaster nodded: "That's right, as long as you get the Lord's approval."
There is a route that can truly reach the God's Abandoned Land, and the people in the God's Abandoned Land can definitely come out through this road... Darkness has fallen for more than two thousand years, why has no one discovered it for so long?
Klein was happy at first, but then after thinking about it carefully, his heart slowly sank: there is only one possibility, the exit of this route is too far away from Silver City. According to "The Sun"'s description, Silver City's current combat power level is almost the highest it has ever been. However, given the danger of the land abandoned by the gods, exploration requires the chief to personally lead the team... For more than two thousand years, Silver City has The city just expanded the scope of surrounding exploration...
But this piece of information itself is of sufficient value. Klein carefully inquired about Leo Master’s direction when he came, and planned to tell “The Sun” this piece of information. Although it was insignificant and the possibility of success was infinitely close to zero, it was also true. There is hope.
Klein had an idea, and he took out "The Eastern Continent" from the bookshelf. As we all know, the Eastern Continent is the land abandoned by God. In front of a believer who believes in the Creator, he certainly cannot call that "sanctuary" with the land abandoned by God.
He quickly flipped through "Essays from the Eastern Continent" and found that it actually recorded an adventure of the "Black Saint" in the land abandoned by the gods.
One day more than a hundred years ago, the "Black Saint" crossed this road, and with the permission of the true Creator, he walked all the way through the monastery and entered the land abandoned by God. But the land abandoned by the gods is full of dangers. Even with the protection of the saint, the followers of the Aurora Society brought by the "Black Saint" continue to die due to various reasons. After everyone died, the "Black Saint" still relied on his powerful power and sealed objects to walk a long way, but found nothing except the ruins of the town, and no trace of the legendary "Lord's Chosen" .
Finally, the "Black Saint" carried the relics and extraordinary characteristics of his companions and returned the same way, ending the pilgrimage.
"Essays from the Eastern Continent" recorded information about a lot of monsters, as well as the route taken by the "Black Saint" at that time. Klein recorded all of this and planned to share it with "The Sun" in the future.
"The Aurora Society is also looking for a city like Silver City..." Klein was not surprised.
He was about to ask again when the dazzling sunlight came in, causing him to wake up naturally.
Looking at the brilliant sky outside, he wiped his forehead and said silently to himself:
"What a strange dream."
Putting away his emotions, Klein got out of bed and came to the deck area. He continued to observe the surroundings, waiting for the mermaid to appear.
Nearly an hour later, he finally heard a thin, ethereal singing sound coming from a distance.
Mermaid?
Klein was overjoyed, and a long-lost excitement emerged.
After leaving Backlund for nearly four months and experiencing many things, he finally arrived at the destination of this "trip" and met the last condition needed to be promoted to Sequence 5 "Secret Puppet Master"!
The anxiety and annoyance in his heart caused by waiting has been growing since entering this sea area. The various things that happened on the "Future" may seem ridiculous, but when you think about it, they are extremely horrifying. The dangers and unknowns contained in the three states of night, noon, and dream made him tense up and spend every hour and every minute in agony.
Now, these emotions and pressures finally have a chance to be released!
Huh... Klein exhaled slowly and returned directly to the cabin and entered his own room.
Without panicking or getting carried away, he followed the predetermined procedure and took out the remaining spirituality of the ancient resentful spirit, the eyes of the six-winged gargoyle, the bark of the dragon-marked tree, and the metal bottle containing Sunia's golden spring water from the suitcase. After unfolding it on the desk, he entered the bathroom, locked the door, and skillfully arranged the ritual of praying for blessings.
After completing this ritual, he did not rush to respond above the gray mist, but arranged an additional ritual and summoned his own ritual!
After walking four steps backward and chanting a mantra in a low voice, Klein arrived above the gray mist, responded to the summoning ceremony, and came to the real world in a spirit state, bringing the "Fire" gloves back to that mysterious space.
After finishing the preliminary work, Klein did not relax. He came to the Fool's position, took out a pen and paper, and quickly wrote a divination statement:
"The one singing in front is the mermaid."
Taking off the citrine pendant, he used divination to confirm the situation:
The person singing in front of the "Future" is the mermaid!
After calming down, Klein waved and made the iron cigarette box fly out of the pile of debris and land on the long mottled ancient bronze table.
With a snap, he opened the lid and saw the "completely black eye" without pupils still lying quietly inside.
After getting the "Fire" gloves, he separated the pollution belonging to the true Creator. The restored "all-black eyes" can provide him with a lot of help, and are also the normal main ingredients of potions.
He grabbed the "Total Black Eye" that no longer had any problems, quickly responded to the ritual of praying for it, and passed the extraordinary characteristics left behind by the "Secret Puppet Master" to the altar in the bathroom through the illusory door.
Stopping in front of the desk, Klein took out the steel milk pot that originally belonged to the "Future" kitchen from the side and began to mix the potion.
All the auxiliary materials were integrated together to form a golden bunker dominated by "Sunia Golden Spring Water". As the "Total Black Eye" was finally submerged by the dark golden liquid, bubbles appeared one after another on the water surface.
Every time a bubble bursts, the potion becomes darker by one minute. After about ten seconds, all changes cease.
In the milk pot, the magic potion took shape and was completely black. There seemed to be countless tiny insects that could not be seen clearly with the naked eye swimming rapidly inside.
Klein took out the gold coin and quickly made a confirmation using divination.
After receiving the revelation of success, he breathed a sigh of relief, poured the "Secret Puppet Master" potion into the metal bottle he had prepared in advance, and stuffed it into his pocket.
It was only then that he left the cabin and came to the deck at a slightly faster pace.
At this time, the symbolic symbols, magic logos and strange patterns on the "Future" have lit up in distinct layers, forming a bright sea of stars, weakening the mermaid's singing to the greatest extent.
——It is rumored that the singing of mermaids can make humans lose their minds and become crazy, causing them to jump off the ship and become food for the mermaids.
Soon, Klein left the "Future" and the protection of the sea of resplendent stars, set foot on the boat, and was in the ocean.
The song came vaguely, and seemed to penetrate directly into his spiritual body, making his whole body numb and uncontrollably wanting to hear more.
For Klein, this was not enough, and his spiritual intuition told him that he had to get closer to make the singing clearer in order to meet the needs of the ritual.
"storm!"
Klein took out a charm made of white tin and summoned a controllable strong wind to push the boat forward.
After an unknown amount of time, the mermaid's singing suddenly became louder, and it was as if she was singing softly in Klein's ears. Every note could shake the spirit body, and every melody made people intoxicated and yearned for it.
Klein was in a trance and almost jumped into the sea, swimming towards the source of this beautiful song.
He tried his best to control himself and found that there were many rocks not far ahead, and figures were sitting on the edge, singing softly.
These creatures have human heads, and their innocent features are a bit gorgeous. Their chests are covered with dark red scales, and their lower bodies are huge fish tails that beat against the rocks rhythmically.
Different mermaids have different looks and different tail scale colors, which have a different sense of beauty to humans.
But when Klein approached in a small boat, many mermaids jumped into the water in panic and swam around.
Fortunately, there were still a few mermaids on the distant rocks with their backs facing here, and they did not notice their companions who left in a hurry.
Klein perked up, thought for a moment, and took out another charm.
This is a spell from the "Poseidon" realm that allows underwater creatures to be close to the user!
"storm!"
Amidst the sound of the mantra, blue flames enveloped the thin sheet of white tin, causing it to disappear into the real world out of thin air.
After seeing that the remaining "mermaids" were aware of him but no longer ran away timidly, Klein immediately took out the metal bottle containing the "Puppet Master" potion and unscrewed the cap.
Gulu, the slightly bitter potion poured into Klein's mouth with a stale feeling, followed his esophagus, and went straight to his stomach.
Suddenly, Klein found that he had become extremely stiff, as if he had returned to Tingen, back to the state when he was manipulated by the strange puppet of the sealed object "2-049".
He tried to move his joints, but they seemed to be filled with lead water.
At the same time, he felt tiny insects burrowing into every cell of his body and into his spiritual body. His thoughts began to slow down, and his ability to reflect his own state in his mind gradually failed.
The mermaid's song came melodiously, stirring up that desire, accumulating enthusiasm and obsession, allowing Klein to maintain his last emotions, and use this temptation to get rid of his rigid and sluggish state little by little.
An indifferent gray-white mist quickly appeared in front of his eyes, and the illusory "Honakis...Fregera...Honakis...Fregera..." rang in his ears, and he was promoted to "Divination" Compared with "Home", "Clown" and "Magician", this babble became obviously intermittent, as if it was being eliminated by some interference.
Different from when I became a "faceless man", Yayu is obviously much stronger, and I can intermittently break through the barrier of the blending power of gray fog and reality... My thinking ability has recovered! Klein felt happy and tried to raise his arm.
The difficulty in the joint position is still there, but it has become weaker and weaker!
At the same time, Klein "saw" what he looked like now:
The skin color is yellow and brown, like a doll that has been buried alive for many years with old bandages. The flesh buds are hidden under the skin, squirming, separating, and merging.
Klein immediately sketched countless light balls in his mind and used "meditation" to calm down this state.
During this process, the mermaid's song still echoed in his ears, causing his joints and muscles to twitch and slowly recede from stiffness.
After an unknown amount of time, Klein opened his eyes and his body was completely normal.
He took a breath and sighed silently:
"finally……
"Finally Sequence 5!
"Finally the 'Secret Puppet Master'!"
493
In a small coastal town.
The tin soldier driver pulled the reins of the wooden pony hard, and a pumpkin carriage appeared out of thin air on the shore of the seaside.
The tin soldier patted the wooden pony, jumped off the seat, and opened the door of the pumpkin carriage. The female demigod who had lost her legs immediately stuck her head out of the door and looked back in the direction of the rut.
There used to be a pair of tap-dancing feet wearing red shoes. Those brisk and deadly steps were the culprit of her extreme haggardness and pain these days. But in order to prevent this pair of dancing shoes from leaving with others, she has not been able to slack off in traveling through mysterious magic.
She had been on the run day and night for three days with these deadly dancing shoes.
Just ten minutes ago, the female demigod who was severely spiritually exhausted had a premonition that she would lose control due to spiritual dryness if she continued like this, so she had to take a short break.
She deliberately chose to rest in a deserted forest, but it seemed to be of no avail and she still failed to keep the "red shoes". In the brief contact with the real world, the tap dance steps suddenly disappeared.
Disappeared without a trace.
"Red Dancing Shoes" abandoned the demigod who had no feet and could not dance, and did not know where he went.
"We have to find a way to tell the church the news quickly..." The female demigod's voice revealed endless fear.
This dancing curse cannot be stopped. If there is no external force to stop it, I don’t know how many ordinary people and mid- to low-sequence extraordinary people will die quietly because of these dancing shoes!
…
Edward tallied up the harvest obtained from the "Dawn of Elements": a certain amount of gold, a certain amount of occult books, a certain amount of sealed objects and real estate, and then selected the sealed objects belonging to the five paths of omniscience and omnipotence, and quoted them to the true creator.
The quotation is not too unrestrained, it is basically based on the price of extraordinary characteristics. There must be a premium, but the True Creator didn't say anything after reading the quotation. Anyway, these things will become extraordinary characteristics for the promotion of members of the Aurora Society, and they are not unaffordable.
The coordinates and situation of the island Rasha were also informed, and the True Creator said that he would investigate it before making a decision.
After finishing what he was doing, Edward took out the "Pale Death", looked at the cold and hard human face, and suddenly couldn't help but laugh.
"At the beginning, I told Shia Eggers that if he told me the information about Si'a, I would give him several silent cities."
"He didn't agree. But in order to take down Aldra, he had to tell me about the high priest."
"Later, I said, if you can trick Si'a into coming, my conditions remain the same, and he didn't agree."
"Now that I have obtained Si'a, I want to see what else He can offer me in exchange for this 'Pale Death'."
"When doing business with the devil, of course you have to buy it early and enjoy it early."
He put these things away, took the magic lamp with him, and planned to stay in the southern continent for a while, and then return to the northern continent when the war started.
Because the Djinn God said that it needs to be close to the Black Emperor of Loen, and it is best to find an opportunity to meet him for any reason, so that it can be more hidden and make the influence from the top of the path more difficult to detect.
