Above the gray fog, Klein, who was sitting in The Fool's seat, beckoned for the Unshadowed Crucifix.
This bronze-green crucifix was tied to an ordinary-looking button, and the surface of the button had a layer of crystalline particles that exuded a heavy and dignified feeling.
This was Cattleya's Judge button. It had been reserved for Xio for 3,500 pounds, so Admiral of Stars had sacrificed it ahead of time to Mr. Fool, asking this mighty existence to get his angels to help him shatter it.
And on Monday's Tarot, Xio had reserved the Judge potion formula for 2,000 pounds.
According to the agreement, apart from knowledge, Justice Audrey wasn't to share everything obtained from exploring Rosell's Travels. She was only providing free help in the matter of killing Hvin Rambis. As for Leonard, he had the right to sell the potion formula and historical knowledge, but clearly, Xio trusted The World, German Sparrow.
It's almost done. This way, I can safely exchange the Unshadowed Crucifix with Little Sun … In the future, if there are similar requests, they will definitely be more willing to trade with Little Sun and not seek Mr. Fool's help. No one dares to frequently disturb a secret existence, unless there's really no other way …
When Little Sun has the chance to become a demigod and turn the Unshadowed Crucifix into a Beyonder characteristic, I should also be a Sequence 3. I can use more of the power of the mysterious space above the gray fog to directly shatter the Sealed Artifact …
After the gray fog's "disinfection," Adam likely won't be able to use the Unshadowed Crucifix to lock onto Little Sun. However, even if "He" can really find "Him," it wouldn't be too serious. "His" brother, Amon, has long known that Little Sun is related to Mr. Fool …
Yes, Amon seems to be able to freely enter and exit the Forsaken Land of the Gods. I wonder if Adam can … As Klein separated the Unshadowed Crucifix from the button that had begun praising Sun, he watched the Beyonder characteristic condense as he waited for Little Sun to hold the sacrificial and bestowment ritual.
…
City of Silver, inside the spire.
After setting up the ritual, Derrick Berg watched as a puppet formed from black clay approached with a wooden cane that didn't look special. "He" placed it on the altar.
After a serious prayer and some work, the illusory door of sacrifice and bestowment opened and took away Life's Cane, leaving behind a bronze cross with spikes.
At the same time, the name, usage, and negative effects of the cross suddenly appeared in Derrick's mind.
He held back his excitement and first thanked Mr. Fool before ending the ritual. He walked to the front of the altar, picked up the Unshadowed Crucifix, and examined it repeatedly.
After cleaning up the scene, Derrick left and knocked on the Chief's door.
"Come in," Colin said with a deep voice.
Derrick turned the doorknob, pushed open the door, and walked in. He calmly displayed the bronze cross.
"Your Excellency, this is the relic of the Lord that I mentioned before. It's called the Unshadowed Crucifix. The way to use it is to let the thorns on it be stained with the blood of the wielder."
This time, he purposely changed the term 'relic' to 'relic'.
The white-haired Colin had already cast his gaze over when Derrick took out the ancient cross. After hearing the introduction, he approached with heavy steps, took the item, and sized it up.
Finally, Colin Iliad pressed his thumb on a thorn, letting the bright red blood flow out.
The mottled coppery green began to peel off as the Unshadowed Crucifix revealed a body composed of pure light, illuminating the entire room without any darkness.
After an indescribable holy aura filled the surrounding area, Colin released his fingers and sighed.
"This is indeed the Lord's item …"
Although it had been more than two thousand years since the City of Silver had been "abandoned," making it impossible for him to sense the aura of a deity, the city still had many items that were used to offer sacrifices to the Creator. Every time the Black-Faced Grass was harvested, they would be invited out to join the ritual. Through comparison with these items, Colin Iliad could almost confirm the origins of the crucifix in his hand.
Derrick wanted to respond, but the heavy meaning in the Chief's words suddenly pressed down on his heart, preventing him from saying a word.
Colin Iliad didn't add anything else. He held the Unshadowed Crucifix and stood silently on the spot.
After nearly a minute, the City of Silver's Chief broke the silence and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "The return of the Lord's item is a sign.
It's a sign that we will be ushering in the light of dawn.
"Leave this Unshadowed Crucifix with me for half a day. I need to gather all the Elders in the city for a meeting and show them this item.
"Heh heh, even I can't casually dispose of a saint-level Sealed Artifact. Since I've lost Life's Cane, I have to explain it to the other Elders and ask for punishment. You have to remember that as a Chief, you have to be decisive in making decisions at the last minute, but you also have to have the courage to shoulder the corresponding responsibility. You can't escape punishment just because you think it's good for the City of Silver. Perhaps you're right this time, but you can't guarantee that you'll be right every time.
"Don't worry. This Unshadowed Crucifix will eventually return to you."
The Chief speaks so profoundly … I'll get Mr. The Hanging Man to explain it to me at the next Tarot Gathering … Derrick instinctively wanted to raise his right hand and scratch the back of his head, but he ultimately held back and informed Colin Iliad of the negative effects of the Unshadowed Crucifix.
…
Baekeland, North Borough, 160 Böklund Street.
Klein had sacrificed Winner Enuni above the gray fog to keep his marionette fresh. He planned on letting Earl of The Fallen Qonas Kilgor wear the Flower of Blood ring and wield Life's Cane. From time to time, he would create a sense of horror and strangeness in his daily life to help him speed up the digestion of the potion. This way, Enuni wouldn't be able to use the Flower of Blood ring to hide in Qonas's stomach. He would have to hide elsewhere. This would be rather troublesome, so it was better to throw him above the gray fog. After all, Klein could create an ordinary marionette at any time if he wanted to.
Why does the act of placing a marionette in a "fresh-keeping cabinet" feel odd … It's not like I'm acting in a horror movie … However, this does match the name of Bizarro Sorcerer. Yes, Zaratul and the angel of the Antigonus family hung their marionettes up to "dry." I'm much better than them! After Klein rubbed his chin, he stuffed the ordinary wooden cane into a special cane he had bought through Miss Judgment.
This cane was hollow and could hold a sword that wasn't considered wide. It was perfect for Klein to use to hide Life's Cane.
After he was done with these matters, he got his valet, who appeared to be Enuni but was actually Qonas, to take the cane away. He returned to the room next door, washed up, and got into bed.
In his relaxed and beautiful sleep, Klein's spiritual perception was suddenly triggered. He suddenly sat up and cast his gaze at the attached balcony.
The curtains weren't drawn completely, allowing him to see the situation outside.
Outside the window was a dark green. Branches and vines were everywhere, and flowers were densely packed. It was so dense that Klein suspected that he had been teleported into a forest.
This … The corners of Klein's mouth twitched as he vaguely guessed what was going on.
He got out of bed and quickly walked to the balcony, pulling open the curtains completely.
What he saw was no longer the garden of Dawn Dantès's residence, but a lush "forest."
This is to fill the surrounding area with vitality. Be it animals or plants, they will flourish and reproduce rapidly? Isn't this a little too fast? Klein's expression immediately turned a little sluggish.
Previously, when he divined to confirm the corresponding powers and negative effects of Life's Cane, he had "seen" a similar scene. However, the revelation he received was that it wasn't harmful to the surroundings. Therefore, he believed that growth and reproduction was a relatively long cycle that could be effectively controlled. He had to indulge it for a very, very long time before such a scene would appear.
With this thought in mind, Klein observed all the Spirit Body Threads in the nearby area. He discovered that humans weren't affected, but there was a clear increase in rats and cockroaches.
This outcome made him heave a sigh of relief. He looked at the "forest" outside the window and sighed silently.
There really isn't any harm. It's just a little exaggerated … Most of the time, I still have to place it above the gray fog …
About ten seconds later, figures appeared in the "forest." Some of them were very thin, while others were rather thick. They were "wearing" black trench coats, and their faces were extremely flat. They had no eyebrows, eyes, noses, or mouths.
These figures were either squatting or standing. In the quiet night, they busied themselves by burning the weeds, slashing the vines, and plucking the excess flowers.
The next morning, Butler Walter woke up early as usual and pushed open the windows.
The garden outside was bathed in the morning fog. Droplets of dew condensed, emitting an abnormally fresh smell.
"Better than yesterday …" Walter nodded slightly and praised the two gardeners.
This vibrant scene made him feel a little restless. For some baffling reason, he missed his wife. Hence, he left the room, patrolled the area, and made all sorts of arrangements. Finally, he waited at the entrance of the dining hall.
Before long, his employer, Dawn Dantès, walked down from the third floor with his valet, Enuni.
Walter went forward and bowed. He explained the arrangements for the day and took the initiative to mention,
Then, he took the initiative to mention, "Sir, I wish to use a day of leave for this month."
As he spoke, he suddenly saw the skin on the mixed-blood valet's neck crack open, revealing a black eye.
Walter jumped in fright and nearly took a step back. However, after blinking, he realized that there was no strange eye on Enuni's neck.
It must be because I didn't sleep well last night and had some strange dreams that caused me to lose focus and hallucinate … Walter hurriedly reined in his thoughts and lowered his head slightly.
Klein apologized inwardly and nodded slightly.
"No problem. Enjoy a beautiful day with your family."
