Summoning a messenger … As Tarot's Judgment and a member of MI9, Xio knew what a messenger was, and she knew that the middle echelons of the Charismatic Order used messengers extensively.
Before she could ask for more details, she saw Fors walk unsteadily to the guest room on the first floor with lifeless eyes. She said in a rather ethereal voice, "I'm sorry, but I didn't say anything.
"Let me sleep for a while. We'll talk later."
She slept all the way until the next morning. She was woken up by the fragrance of meat.
"Desi pie?" Fors rubbed her eyes and walked out of the room. There was already food on the table.
"Yes." Xio came out of the bathroom. "It's at the corner of the street. It's not bad."
Fors hummed and sat down at the dining table. She quickly picked up the Desi pie and stuffed it into her mouth.
After finishing one, she took a sip of sweet iced tea and sighed in satisfaction.
"This is what life is like.
"Oh no, I forgot to brush my teeth …"
After busying herself with cleaning up, she finally regained her ability to think. She looked at Xio in puzzlement.
"Did MI9 suspect that you had secretly become a 'judge'?"
"They think it's a reward from the faction that instructed me back then." Xio shared the information she had obtained.
Fors combed her hair and smiled.
"That's right. Let them ask the Church of Evernight."
She covered her mouth and yawned.
"I'm going to summon that messenger."
After this period of "recording," the way she addressed a certain someone had evolved from German Sparrow and Mr. World to "that person."
This was partly out of respect, and partly out of fear of eavesdropping.
Upon hearing her friend's words, Xio looked around and asked in puzzlement, "Why are you here?
"Aren't you going to set up a ritual?"
She remembered that summoning a messenger required a ritual.
"This is only one of the methods. That person told me to use another method." Fors looked at her clothes and found that she didn't have time to change them last night. They were wrinkled from sleeping.
Thinking that she was going to meet the messenger later, she decided to pay attention to her image. She hurriedly returned to the bedroom on the second floor and changed into a beige dress with a flounce hem.
In preparation, in front of Xio, she raised her right hand and grabbed forward, as though she was trying to pull something out of the air.
In her eyes, an illusory book condensed and formed. It flipped quickly and stopped at one of the pages.
The next second, her arm sank, and a figure appeared out of thin air.
It was the German Sparrow, who was wearing a half top hat and a black coat. His face was cold, and his temperament was stiff.
Success? This is only my second attempt … I only tried once yesterday, and I failed … Fors' eyes widened, as if she wanted to absorb more light and see more clearly.
She knew that she had summoned a projection from the Historical Void, so she wasn't too nervous. Instead, Xio subconsciously held her breath and looked warily at the projection of German Sparrow. She couldn't tell if it was real or fake.
She still had a clear memory of this crazy adventurer's battle achievements.
Fors actually summoned German Sparrow? Shouldn't it be his messenger? German Sparrow can also descend as a summoned creature? Questions popped up in Xio's mind.
Just as Fors was at a loss as to what to do next, German Sparrow's eyes darted around slightly. His gaze instantly turned spirited, no longer looking dull and sluggish. It gave off the feeling that he had come alive.
Right on the heels of that, he took out an exquisite silver-white harmonica, brought it to his mouth, and blew into it.
There was no sound, but the surroundings instantly turned cold as a bone-chilling wind blew.
Then, a lady in a dark and complicated dress walked out of the void with four blonde, red-eyed heads in hand. Her eight eyes looked at German Sparrow at the same time.
German Sparrow nodded slightly and pointed at Fors.
"This lady needs to go deep into the spirit world to set up four special coordinates. Please help her."
"Alright …" One of Reinette Tinekerr's heads bobbed up and down as it spoke.
German Sparrow didn't say anything else. As he approached the window, he made the glove on his left hand turn transparent.
His figure quickly vanished as he "Teleported" out of the house.
He's gone … He's gone … The Historical Void projection I summoned left just like that? Fors watched with her mouth slightly agape, as though she was experiencing a farce.
According to her understanding, the thing that was summoned should be under her control. How could it just leave on its own after saying a few words?
Could it be that the Historical Void projection has a personality like the person himself … No, it's like the descent of German Sparrow himself … Fors glanced at Xio and realized that she was equally confused.
At that moment, Fors suddenly shivered, as though she had been targeted by an extremely terrifying creature.
She subconsciously turned her head and realized that German Sparrow's messenger was looking at her with eight red eyes, carefully sizing her up.
He's as terrifying as Gehrman Sparrow … Fors forced a smile and said, "That's right.
"… Sorry to trouble you."
At that moment, Reinette Tinekerr's four blonde, red-eyed heads spoke one after another.
"Requires …" "Payment …" "Eight hundred …" "Gold coins …"
There's even a fee? Fors turned agape once again, unsure of how to respond.
After a few seconds, her mind suddenly became active, and she calculated her savings.
After lending 2,400 pounds to Xio, I still have 780 pounds left … I've spent quite a bit during this period of time, but the royalties from before are still coming in. Together with some other income and the 300 pounds Xio has returned, I have a total of 1,258 pounds … That's enough …
Fors was about to agree when she immediately realized a problem.
"All of it in gold coins?"
Reinette Tinekerr's four heads shook slightly.
"Yes …" "You …" "Can …" "Owe …"
As expected, it's all in gold coins … I remember that Mr. World has been trying to gather gold coins and exchange them for gold coins … Is it also to pay this messenger? The relationship between him and his messenger is so complicated … Uh, Mr. World should still have quite a lot of gold coins. I'll just get him to exchange it for 800 gold coins later … Fors secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
"Alright."
After agreeing, she saw the head in the headless messenger's hand raise up and bite the clothes on her shoulder.
The colors around her became richer and brighter. The red turned redder, the black turned blacker, and the white turned whiter.
Just like that, Fors was led by Reinette Tinekerr through similar scenes without any sense of direction. It didn't take long for them to arrive at a place that seemed to be filled with a faint fog.
In the depths of the fog, eyes seemed to look over, but they quickly shrank back.
…
When Magicians Fors summoned German Sparrow's projection from the Historical Void to Baekeland, Klein's main body immediately entered the fog of history and ran all the way to before the First Epoch.
His consciousness came alive in the projection, reducing Fors's expenditure.
This way, Klein indirectly returned to Baekeland. This was also the reason why he got Miss Magicians to use such a complicated method to summon the messenger.
As for the messenger summoned by the adventurer's harmonica, it was an objective existence. It wouldn't increase the burden on Fors's spirituality. Even if the Historical Void projection of Klein disappeared, Reinette Tinekerr could still stay in the real World if she wanted to.
After a "Teleportation," Klein's figure appeared in a secluded alley near Saint Samuel Cathedral. He used his Faceless powers to change his appearance and figure.
During this process, although there were still a few pedestrians in the alley, they were affected by the illusion and didn't notice that a "companion" had suddenly appeared.
Right on the heels of that, Klein straightened his clothes, pressed down on his hat, and quickly walked to Saint Samuel Cathedral. He found a seat by the side in the prayer hall and sat down.
After taking off his top hat and reciting the honorific name, he piously drew a crimson moon on his chest. Then, he clasped his hands, closed his eyes, and prayed to the Evernight Goddess in a low voice:
"… I'm searching for traces of the Dark Demonic Wolf's past to grasp 'His' exact situation …"
At this point, Klein recalled that the Dark Demonic Wolf might be a former "colleague" of the Evernight Goddess. "They" should have a sufficient understanding of each other, so he hurriedly added:
"… I wonder if you can give me some hints …"
He didn't wait for a response as he maintained a calm state of mind and continued:
"… After I'm done with this matter, I plan on heading east all the way to see if I can reach the Western Continent and see what state it's in. I'll also take this opportunity to escape Amon's pursuit and search for other possibilities …"
After praying, Klein tapped his chest four times in a clockwise fashion and whispered:
"Praise the Lady."
Just as he said that, a dark night sky dotted with countless stars suddenly appeared in front of him. Unknowingly, a piece of information appeared in his mind.
It was information regarding the Dark Demonic Wolf, Kotar.
"…" Klein was taken aback for a moment. Only when the starry sky in front of him completely disappeared did he snap to his senses. He sincerely praised the Goddess again.
After leaving Saint Samuel Cathedral, he used Creeping Hunger to "Teleport" and arrived near the Holy Wind Cathedral in Cherwood Borough.
He wanted to pray to the Lord of Storms.
Looking up at the towering steeple, Klein was momentarily hesitant, unsure if he should really enter the headquarters of the Church of the Storm Baekeland diocese.
I'm just a Historical Void projection. I'm not afraid … There's nothing to lose from praying. What if the Lord of Storms hears of Amon's situation and decides to bestow 0-32 to me? That way, I won't have to take the huge risk of hunting the Dark Demonic Wolf … One should always have some expectations! Klein thought for a moment before finally making up his mind.
He carefully raised his hand and summoned Winner Enuni, who hadn't been parasitized by Amon, from the Historical Void. He made the marionette transform into him and walk into the Holy Wind Cathedral.
In just a minute or two, a dark cloud suddenly floated over Baekeland. There seemed to be a flash of silver lightning in the Holy Wind Cathedral, but no one noticed it.
