Without the time to think about such trivial matters, Klein, whose existence had been "concealed," immediately got Enuni to switch places with the new marionette specially made by the pirates.
Right on the heels of that, he activated Creeping Hunger and teleported to the vicinity of the secret mausoleum in Awwa County with his marionette, Enuni, and Qonas.
As he could only maintain three projections from the Historical Void at the same time, it was impossible for Klein to abandon his marionette and directly come over. He could only summon a projection as a replacement, which would occupy a crucial spot. As for the remaining marionettes in Memorial Square, they wouldn't die on the spot within half an hour. They would only appear to be in a daze, but when listening to the speech, such a state wouldn't attract much attention. After that, if Klein didn't return, the Church of Evernight's Red Gloves team would come to deal with him.
At the same time, outside the secret mausoleum in East Chester County, Bernadette, who was wearing a girlish yellow cake dress and a black bonnet, appeared while being surrounded by pea vines that grew out of thin air.
Her chestnut hair was naturally draped over her shoulders. Her eyebrows were long and straight, and her eyes seemed to contain a blue sea.
Looking at the mountain wall in front of her, Queen Mystic extended her right hand and quickly outlined a symbol in the void.
As her fingertips moved, drops of bright red blood that resembled fine gemstones seeped out and froze in midair.
Soon, a complicated symbol formed from layers of "doors" appeared. They trembled slightly, resonating with an unknown location.
In the blink of an eye, the blood-colored symbol expanded into an illusory translucent door. Through it, one could vaguely see a huge mausoleum made of black rocks.
Bernadette immediately took a step forward and passed through the illusory door, arriving in a dark and deep area.
The light here came from the stone pillars on both sides of the path and the strange underground moss that grew on the cliff. Together, they illuminated the secret mausoleum that was hidden in the fog at the bottom.
The symbol provided by Mr. Door was really useful!
At this moment, as a certain ritual was being carried out deep underground, specks of dark light gathered and condensed into a human figure in the dark sky.
The figure had a squarish face, black hair, blue eyes, a high nose bridge, a thick beard, and a solemn expression.
His appearance and image weren't unfamiliar to many Rouen citizens because it was printed on the front of the ten-pound banknote. Of course, people who had never received a ten-pound banknote in their lives could also see his statue or portrait in places like Memorial Square.
He was the founder, protector, and first king of Rouen, William Augustus I.
It was him!
He used the ritual to descend directly from Baekeland!
Bernadette's expression didn't change. With a flip of her palm, an item appeared.
The item was golden in color and looked like a shrunken kettle with a wick sticking out of its mouth.
As Bernadette's right hand stroked the surface of the item that was covered in mysterious and complicated symbols, the wick silently lit up.
The light it emitted was like a viscous stream of water. It sprayed upwards and formed a blurry and distorted light golden figure.
"Eternal Genie, my second wish is to obtain the power of 'Knowledge Emperor' for a day." Seizing the opportunity before William Augustus I completely descended, Bernadette spoke solemnly in Jotun.
The item in her hand was called the Magic Wishing Lamp. It might have originated from the First Epoch. Although it had never been obtained by the seven Churches, it had the corresponding Grade 0 Sealed Artifact number:
"0-05!"
This item could grant the holder any ten wishes, but it was either done in a distorted form, or it would come with unpredictable and extremely terrifying consequences.
None of its former owners had a good ending, including Rosell Gustav.
This emperor had warned his daughter that she could think of ways to use words and preparations to avoid the harm brought about by the first two wishes, but she absolutely couldn't make the third wish. Absolutely not!
…
Awwa County, near the secret mausoleum. Klein, who had arrived in a concealed state, didn't alarm anyone.
Although time was tight, he didn't recklessly approach the mausoleum and draw the symbol to open the door. Instead, he reached out his right hand and grabbed at the air in front of him.
After five consecutive grabs, Klein's arm muscles suddenly tightened, as though he was pulling something extremely heavy.
As he retracted his right hand, a figure quickly outlined itself.
The figure's skin was bronze in color, and he was of medium build. He had black hair and brown eyes. His facial features were soft, and there was a very thin mole below his right ear. He was none other than Aztec Eggers.
However, unlike the Mr. Aztec that Klein knew, this figure's eyes were indifferent. He wore a dark black robe embroidered with golden threads, and he wore a golden bird-shaped crown. It was as though he was looking down on all living beings.
This was the former Death Consul, a Sequence 2 angel!
Klein didn't size him up any further as he reached out and grabbed at the void again.
This time, it looked like he wasn't holding anything back, but in fact, he had already summoned his past self from more than ten seconds ago, his concealed self!
Then, Klein threw a metal bottle to his projection and allowed his true body to enter the Historical Void in the gray fog.
In his past body, his consciousness suddenly came alive and became extremely agile.
In this concealed state, Klein brought Death Consul Aztec's projection to the secret mausoleum that had no entrance. He took out the metal bottle and used his spirituality to guide the blood that shimmered with a gem-like luster. In midair, he quickly outlined the symbol that Mr. Door had given him.
The symbol quickly took form and resonated with a certain point in the mausoleum, expanding into an illusory door.
In his concealed state, Klein and Death Consul Aztec passed through the door and entered the corresponding secret mausoleum.
At this moment, the guards inside had long discovered the intruders and activated the ritual that they had prepared ahead of time. However, all they could see was the lofty Death Consul.
Somewhere in Baekeland, the former Duke of Southville, Dlink Augustus, was about to use the passage opened by the ritual to descend into the secret mausoleum when a man beside him suddenly frowned and said, "This is Aztec Eggers.
"This is Azik Eggers. No, 'He' is very stiff, like a historical projection summoned by the Secret Order's Scholar of Yore.
You stay here and guard against the Scholar of Yore hiding in the shadows. Although they aren't angels, they're troublesome enough. "
Dlink Augustus was a slightly arrogant old man. His black hair was mixed with many strands of silver, and he didn't have a beard on his face.
Upon hearing that, he laughed and said, "Isn't that Scholar of Yore beside us? Although he's in a concealed state, I've already discovered him through the imbalance in the surrounding area.
"He's misleading us, making us think that he's deliberately summoned a historical projection to attack this place while his true body has gone elsewhere. In fact, he's hiding beside Aztec's projection. Once this Death Consul attracts our attention and we place our main forces elsewhere, he'll use his concealed state to approach the mausoleum and destroy it.
"Besides, regardless of the reason, since he's summoned an angel projection, even if you carry a Grade 0 Sealed Artifact, you won't be able to finish off the target in a short period of time. If this affects the mausoleum, all our efforts and persistence will be in vain.
"If that Scholar of Yore did a triple misdirection and really went to another mausoleum, it's impossible for him to summon another angel from the Historical Void. You can eliminate him rather easily."
As "He" said the first sentence, Dlink Augustus had already entered the passage opened by the ritual. The remaining content was said by "His" illusory figure.
In the secret mausoleum in Awwa County, the indifferent and cold Aztec Eggers scanned his surroundings. "His" body suddenly expanded, transforming into a giant snake that covered the sky above the mausoleum.
This giant snake was both illusory and real, as though it was formed from something incomprehensible to humans. "His" entire body was covered in dark green and black scales. White feathers grew out from the gaps, and every feather and scale had strange symbols of different shapes. Just looking at them would cause one's flesh and blood to rot, turning them into a zombie.
This was the Feathered Serpent God from the Southern Continent's myths and legends. "His" eye sockets burned with pale-white flames, and a pair of exaggerated and thick wings spread out from "His" back.
Amidst the howling wind, the feathered serpent that was coiled in midair stretched its upper body forward and spat out pale-white flames that could cover the entire mausoleum.
… Mr. Aztec's Historical Void projection is definitely much weaker than the original, but it still has such might … As expected of the son of Death, the consul of the Balam Empire … Although the concealed Klein had done summoning experiments at sea, he never expected Aztec's projection to be so powerful.
At this moment, a slightly dark light flew out from the mausoleum, preventing the pale-white flames that surged like a tidal wave from advancing any further.
Following that, they formed a figure. It was none other than the Sequence 2 Balancer, Dlink Augustus.
Upon seeing "Him," the concealed Klein suddenly turned stiff and stiff. He could only act based on his instincts. This was because Klein's true body had returned from the Historical Void and was outside the secret mausoleum.
Then, Klein directly teleported to a secret mausoleum in the lower reaches of the Tussock River. He took out another metal bottle and used his spirituality to guide the blood inside to fly out in a concealed state, outlining the symbol.
In a few seconds, the symbol resonated and transformed into a door. Klein walked in with his marionettes, Qonas, and Enuni.
Of course, in the river and forest outside, he still had the marionettes he had just transformed into hiding.
…
In the outskirts of Baekeland, near Ruin No. 1, a figure dispelled her invisibility and appeared.
Her black hair was lustrous, and her face was slightly round. She looked beautiful with a hint of sweetness, and her bearing was extremely outstanding. She was none other than Demoness Trissy.
After Trissy approached Ruin No. 1, she also took out a metal bottle and used the blood inside to draw the symbol provided by Mr. Door.
An illusory door quickly took shape.
