Help? Klein silently muttered the word, momentarily stumped.
Back when Sharon accepted the mission to protect him for three days, although it was mainly because of the gold pound, it was very rare for a Sequence 5 Beyonder to be willing to take on such a mission. It could be chanced upon, but it couldn't be forced. Furthermore, Klein was in a state of panic where he was trying his best to save himself, unwilling to let go of even a single strand of straw. To obtain the help of such a powerful Beyonder, even if it was for money, he was still somewhat grateful.
However, that was all. He wouldn't rashly intervene in a dangerous matter that he didn't know the inside story or the situation without considering his own strength and situation.
Klein's original idea was that the mysticism knowledge from Little Sun could basically be confirmed to be from before the Cataclysm. The ancient gods who wielded authority back then didn't seem to overlap with the seven deities and evil gods of the present. The entire mysticism system was definitely very different from the present. Therefore, even though he knew the details, he didn't dare to rashly attempt it. He had to verify it indirectly to know what could still be used and what could no longer produce any effects.
This was just like the sacrificial ritual from before. Klein had clearly figured out the exact process from Sun, but he had to wait for Mr. Aztec's reply before he dared to experiment, to prevent any unexpected changes from happening.
As for The Hanging Man, he was a figure at the level of a bishop or captain of a small team in the Church of the Storm. He had grasped and obtained quite a bit of mysticism knowledge. However, the problem was that it was too orthodox and involved too much of the domain of the Lord of Storms. It wasn't necessarily suitable for Klein to use. Not all rituals could be completed by praying to oneself. Furthermore, praying to oneself also had to consider the spiritual burden one could withstand.
Due to these factors, Klein cast his gaze towards the former members of the secret organization, Sharon and Marić. The mysticism knowledge they knew was often more suitable for unaffiliated Beyonders to refer to. Furthermore, there would be quite a bit of unorthodox and bizarre content that was sufficiently effective.
Of course, this didn't mean that he would give up on exchanging for relevant information from Sun and The Hanging Man. An ancient remnant, an orthodox one, a secretive one, and an unorthodox one. Only when added together would he have comprehensive and rather deep mysticism knowledge!
This was exactly what Klein desired.
He had never forgotten that his ultimate goal was to return to Earth. Therefore, the more Mysticism knowledge he had, the better. The more comprehensive and in-depth, the better!
Of course, the premise of pursuing this goal is to kill Ince Zangwill and successfully avenge Captain and myself … Klein looked at Sharon and Marić as the corners of his mouth curled up.
"I need to know what kind of help you need from me before I can consider whether or not to agree."
"I won't, and it's impossible for me to joke around with my life."
Sharon, who was wearing a small black bonnet, nodded lightly, agreeing with Klein's words.
Marić, who was sitting on the other side, leaned forward and clenched his fist against his mouth.
"We originally belonged to a rather ancient secret organization."
That's what I guessed … Klein maintained a straight and serious expression.
"That organization was formed in the early Fifth Epoch. After the Berserk Sea separated the Northern and Southern Continents, it was formed in the Southern Continent's Highlands Kingdom and Perth Kingdom. However, this is only in terms of formation. The origins of this organization can even be traced back to before the Fourth Epoch, to before the Cataclysm," the pale Marić continued describing.
I know that too. Rose School … It should be traced back to the Mutant King … Klein assumed an attentive posture.
Marić scratched his slightly messy hair and said, "This organization believes in an evil god.
"This organization believes in an evil god and believes that magic is the science and art of changing things through one's own will. This requires the establishment of a religious ritual system, including order and law. Yes, before the invasion of the Northern Continent, they were an orthodox organization on the same level as the Church of Death in the Paz Valley and the Star Plateau."
"At the same time, they believe that their will mainly originates from all kinds of desires. When combined with Beyonder powers, they can accomplish all kinds of inconceivable things.
"It's precisely because of these ideals that they maintain ancient and bloody sacrificial traditions, including skinning humans, using human pillars, and using children's skulls as ritual objects, allowing a large number of believers to release all kinds of desires in a frenzy.
"We can't accept those cruel things, but we also believe that there's a huge problem with how they handle desires. Therefore, we found an opportunity to escape the organization."
"There's a problem with how they handle desires?" Klein knew that Rose School was famous for its bloody sacrifices, so he wasn't too curious about the former.
The blonde Sharon, who was dressed in a black regal dress, replied with an ethereal voice, "There's a problem with how they handle desires?"
"Their way of doing things is to indulge and burn."
"Our ideals are repression and temperance."
Is that so … Klein suddenly thought of the description of the Prisoner Sequence. The body is the cage of the heart, and the World is the cage of the body. Madness is restrained, and desires are repressed.
If Rose School really controls the Prisoner pathway, then Miss Sharon and the others' ideals are clearly more in line with the requirements of acting. Why can't the other members see this? That shouldn't be the case … He frowned slightly.
Upon seeing his reaction, Marić, who thought that he didn't understand, explained with a slightly hoarse voice, "They were influenced by that evil deity.
They believe that indulging one's desires can help improve one's will. When many people indulge together, they can influence each other, increasing their fanaticism and pushing their state to its peak. "
"And our point of view is the exact opposite. We believe that desires must be suppressed in one's heart at all times, just like underground flames and magma. Only at the critical moment will it erupt, producing terrifying power."
To put it simply, it's the difference between the lust-inducing and abstinence-inducing … The influence caused by that evil deity is a little contrary to the requirements of my own pathway. It feels a little off … Klein thoughtfully asked,
"So you fled to Baekeland, and now they're chasing after you?"
"The deceased in the alley was involved in this matter?"
"We didn't involve him. He was the one who was implicated because of something else." Marić refuted the latter guess and tacitly agreed with the former.
Then, why didn't you just escape from Baekeland? There are still quite a number of large cities along the Midseashire coast and Desi Bay in the Kingdom of Rouen. Furthermore, you can go to Intis, Feysac, Feynapotter, Lenburg, Masin, and other countries … In other words, you have a reason for not leaving Baekeland? What could it be? Klein thought for a moment and said, "Alright, I roughly understand.
"Alright, I think I understand. Hmm, what do you need help with?"
"My Sequence isn't high, and I don't know any powerful Beyonders. It's impossible for me to directly fight that secret organization."
After obtaining the Sequence 7, 6, and 5 potion formulas of the Seer pathway and killing Lanevus, Klein didn't actually have to stay in Baekeland.
There was still a huge gap between him and his next target of vengeance, Ince Zangwill and Sealed Artifact 0-08. There was no hope of success in a short period of time, and he didn't even dare approach. Therefore, it wasn't impossible for him to leave Baekeland. At most, he would feel the pinch that his prepaid rent would go to waste.
The reason why Klein stayed in the city was that it had the most Beyonders, and the most materials and resources. It was the most convenient place for him to advance his Sequence, which was in line with the revelation he had received from divination.
After I become a Faceless and digest it, I'll have to make a trip out to the sea in search of mermaids … This thought suddenly flashed through Klein's mind.
Sharon, who was dressed in a black regal dress, calmly replied,
"Be our support."
"Surrounding and killing a Sequence 5 Beyonder."
Klein asked in surprise, "That's right.
"With your strength, that organization only sent a Sequence 5 Beyonder to pursue you?"
Could it be that the common trait of cults is that they have no brains?
"He has a Sealed Artifact that restrains me." The pale but exquisite Sharon replied calmly without any expression, "The person in charge of this matter is indeed a High-Sequence Beyonder."
"But he was led somewhere else by the clues we deliberately left behind." Marić added, "We don't only have this one stronghold in Baekeland … If we can kill the Sequence 5 Beyonder in charge of the nearby area and snatch the Sealed Artifact from him, we can immediately pretend to escape. After that, we won't be too afraid of a normal pursuit."
Klein tersely acknowledged.
"But why do you think I can provide help?"
I look so weak …
And the target is a Sequence 5 with a powerful or strange Sealed Artifact!
"You're not just a Sequence 9. There's something special about you." Sharon looked at him quietly with her blue eyes, her tone very firm.
"Haha." Klein could only give a dry laugh in response.
Sharon's illusory voice sounded again.
"Furthermore, you have that 'eye.'"
That eye? Is she referring to the All-Black Eye left behind by Nimblewright Master Rosago? Klein nodded slightly and said, "But I can only use a little of it.
"But I can only use a little of it. I can't use it too much because it contains the mental corruption of the True Creator."
"That's enough." Sharon's words were always concise.
Maric then added,
"The Sequence 5 Beyonder we need to deal with has the same characteristics as Sharron. Your 'eye' can help us find him."
At this moment, Sharon spoke again.
"Marić is the first bait."
"I'm the second bait."
"And you're the hunter in charge of solving the problem."
"I can't guarantee absolute safety."
"But you're definitely safer than us."
That's quite kind, but I have to confirm it with divination before I can believe it … Klein pondered for a few seconds.
"I need to understand the characteristics of the other party and the corresponding Sealed Artifact. Only then can I make a decision."
