Inside the room, the crimson glow was like water, soaking every corner.
Dorian slowly raised her head and looked at the full moon outside the oriel window. She didn't move her eyes away for a long time, as though this was the first time she was enjoying such a beautiful scene.
Phew … He exhaled, stood up, and entered the bathroom. He turned on the faucet, scooped up a handful of ice-cold water, and splashed it on his face.
After washing up, Dorian wiped her face with a towel and returned to the living room. She sat on the sofa, lowered her head, and piously muttered to herself:
"Praise be to Mr. Fool!"
After finishing his prayer, he walked into the study, took out a pen and paper, and wrote to his student, Fors:
"…
"Please tell Mr. German Sparrow that I've confirmed his promise. I hope he can find a better way to resolve the curse …
"I will gather the other members of the family to discuss if we should use one of the two Grade 0 Sealed Artifacts to exchange for the Box of the Great Old Ones …
"Here, I'll first introduce the two Grade 0 Sealed Artifacts, so that Mr. German Sparrow will have sufficient time to consider which one he wishes to obtain.
"One of them is called the Painting of God. It looks like an ordinary oil painting in a brass frame, but the content depicted on it will change from time to time.
"When it presents different locations, the wielder can change the surrounding area of the target, allowing the corresponding scene to descend.
"When it presents different characters, the wielder can make those characters attack the target once per person.
"When it presents abstract and incomprehensible images, different effects will appear in reality, and we only understand a small portion of the corresponding relationships.
"When it presents doors, opening different 'doors' will transfer them to different places. It's impossible to predict the destination beforehand, and it can be used to exile targets.
"When it appears in the dark underground or the deep starry sky, it's extremely dangerous. It has to be sealed!
"If no one is watching or appreciating this oil painting, the characters inside will come to life. They will extend their hands from the oil painting and slowly enter the real World. You have to pay attention to this when sealing it!
"Once upon a time, a branch of my family made a mistake when they took care of this' Painting of God '. No one admired it for a full minute. At that time, it presented an image of an angel surrounding a deity. Then, the deity came to life and walked out of the oil painting.
"That branch of my family was destroyed, leaving only a few mentally deranged members. I don't know where the god went, but he didn't take this painting with him.
"We were worried for a long time, afraid that the god would destroy the World. Fortunately, he never appeared again. Perhaps he had been noticed by the Seven Gods and dealt with.
"Of course, we can't rule out the possibility that this is a story made up by those with mental disorders. But in one night, most of the members died, and a small number of them went crazy. This in itself means a lot.
"The other Grade 0 Sealed Artifact is called the Staff of the Stars. It's shaped like a black staff embedded with gems.
"When holding it, if the corresponding scene appears in your mind, and it's real and still exists, this staff will bring you directly to your destination. However, you have to pay attention to one thing. The outline has to be absolutely correct. Every detail can't be wrong, and it can't be different from the original. Otherwise, you will never know where your destination will be.
"Similarly, when holding the Staff of the Stars, if some Beyonder powers or characters appear in your mind, this staff will reproduce the corresponding power or person. The latter can launch an attack. To achieve such an effect, the prerequisite is to have a sufficient understanding of the powers and characters. Otherwise, you don't know what kind of anomaly will happen. Once, someone wanted to use the Staff of the Stars to release Lightning Storm, but he ended up turning into a frog. He only recovered after finding a way to remove the curse.
"The Staff of the Stars is hard enough and can be used to attack directly. Those who are struck by it will randomly experience anomalies or encounter all kinds of strange effects. Previously, I used the Staff of the Stars to strike a Beyonder from the Aurora Order. The left side of his body was transferred outside the door, while the right side remained where it was. His organs splattered out.
"The Staff of the Stars will randomly move around. If it's not sealed properly, it will disappear at any moment and escape control.
"When holding it, one's mind has to be empty most of the time. This is because once a scene appears, it might trigger the effects I described earlier.
"If no one is holding it, all kinds of anomalies will happen around the Staff of the Stars. It's hard to predict whether it's good or bad, so it has to be sealed …
"Burn after reading …"
After writing the letter, Dorian read it several times to confirm that there were no mistakes before stuffing it into an envelope and pasting a stamp.
At that moment, in the ancient palace above the gray fog.
Klein had already finished reading Dorian's letter through the prayer point of light.
I seem to have forgotten to tell him that I can pass the corresponding information to German Sparrow through Mr. Fool … That's good too. I'll treat it as a benefit for an official member of the Tarot. If every believer does this, I won't be able to handle it if I don't leave some Worms of Spirit in Sefirah Castle … Yes, this can also effectively maintain Mr. Fool's status, making the members of the House of Abraham not dare to belittle him … Klein mumbled and turned his attention back to the two Grade 0 Sealed Artifacts.
He once again confirmed that Grade 0 Sealed Artifacts had serious negative effects and couldn't be used as regular items.
Of course, their abilities and effects were extremely powerful and terrifying. They lived up to the title of Grade 0.
In comparison, the Staff of the Stars is more suitable for me …
I can get Miss Justice to hypnotize me ahead of time, making the thoughts that surface in my subconscious exist in the form of thoughts and not in the form of images. I have to consciously control them to outline the scene …
I wonder if I can get the residents of the City of Silver to hold the Staff of the Stars and outline the streets of Baekeland in their minds to directly leave the Forsaken Land of the Gods …
However, there's no way to hypnotize them beforehand. They have never really seen Baekeland. Even if they were to recreate the corresponding scene, it would be very difficult for them to accurately outline the details …
In short, it's very troublesome, but I can give it a try. I'll choose volunteers who aren't afraid of death …
If I can exchange for the Staff of the Stars, I won't be in a hurry to shatter it and turn it into a characteristic. Who knows when it will come in handy. After all, the advancement ritual might not be completed …
With the Staff of the Stars, I'll have more confidence in dealing with the Dark Demonic Wolf and escaping from the Forsaken Land of the Gods under the Dark Angel's nose … Klein sighed and made up his mind.
At this moment, he discovered another fact.
That was, if a portion of the members of the House of Abraham followed Dorian and converted to Mr. Fool, then even if he returned the Box of the Great Old Ones to them, it wouldn't be difficult for him to borrow it if he really needed to use it in the future.
In other words, out of the three Grade 0 Sealed Artifacts — the Staff of the Stars, the Painting of God, and the Box of the Great Old Ones — he had obtained the ownership of one and the right to use two.
It's still very useful to develop believers … When the time comes, wouldn't the House of Abraham become Tarot's subordinate faction? However, Dorian definitely won't spread the faith of The Fool so quickly unless some members are already on the verge of losing control and can no longer resist the curse of the next full moon. Klein had an inexplicable feeling that Tarot's faction was expanding.
He thought about it seriously and felt sad that he might have to respond to believers 24 hours a day in the future.
Only by becoming an angel and truly gaining control of Sefirah Castle and daring to place some Worms of Spirit on it could he resolve this problem.
If there's really no other way, I'll get Arrodes to be an artificial intelligence customer service … Klein rubbed his temples and left the gray fog, returning to the Forsaken Land of the Gods.
…
Late at night, in the waters of the Rorsted Archipelago.
A huge sea monster quickly swam to the target location.
This was a "helper" that Alger had prayed for from Sea God Cavituis. At the level of an Ocean Songster, he was still unable to control a creature of this size.
In fact, he could have swum from Bayam, but that would have been too tiring, and he wouldn't have been able to resist any accidents.
A few seconds later, the sea monster opened its mouth and Alger swam out, approaching a gorgeous coral cluster.
After circling around a few obstacles, a dark blue color suddenly appeared in Alger's eyes.
Through the "deep blue", he saw a magnificent palace made of coral.
It was clearly so real, but no one could see it unless there was a specific medium.
Alger stared at it for a while before swimming forward. When he arrived in front of the palace, he reached out and pushed open the door.
The shaking water waves stopped as Alger passed through the barrier and landed on the ground with the help of the wind.
He looked around and saw murals painted on both sides.
The contents of these murals weren't anything out of the ordinary. They were mainly about ships and elf-faced people fighting against storms and huge waves.
However, Alger noticed that the ships weren't sailing in the sea, but a patch of "black" that was so thick that it couldn't be dispersed.
This made Alger think of a phrase:
Abyss.
This is a little similar to the legendary Abyss, but it's a little similar. Furthermore, there aren't any Devils … They seem to have surged out from underground … These murals record the history of the elves? But it doesn't match the corresponding myths … The World said that every Elvish word corresponds to a primordial elf … As Alger pondered, he walked towards the nine steps ahead.
As he approached, he saw two thrones and a dark blue crystalline coral.
On the branches of the coral, silver bolts of lightning danced, illuminating the surroundings.
Alger held his breath and slowed down his pace. He climbed up the steps and arrived in front of the thrones.
He solemnly reached out his right hand and picked up the coral.
With a splash, the seawater outside the palace suddenly surged. As the coral was enveloped by the dark blue, it gradually turned incorporeal and fused into Alger's body.
Bolts of lightning bloomed like flower petals.
