With a swoosh, a silver bolt of lightning in the shape of a tree lit up the early winter night.
It didn't strike down, but instead pierced through the air, illuminating the area around where Klein had been standing as if it was daytime.
Spellsinger of God, Ace Snake, retracted his gaze and whispered with a dark expression, "Rose School?
"Not a Wraith, nor a true undead creature …"
A mature middle-aged man with golden eyes turned his head to look at Capim's corpse.
A mature middle-aged man with a pair of golden eyes turned his head to look at Capim's corpse.
"This is the second such case in the past two months."
"When was the first time?" Cardinal Snake asked in a deep voice.
The mature middle-aged man in a well-ironed suit coughed lightly.
"The time when the True Creator attempted to descend with the help of a swindler."
"The time when the True Creator attempted to descend with the help of a swindler."
"Then it's not the Rose School of Thought." Cardinal Snake made an affirmative judgment.
Although those organizations that believed in evil gods didn't like each other, they wouldn't deliberately destroy such matters. Instead, they were happy to see it happen, waiting for the other party to mess up the situation first.
"I think so too. Perhaps it's a newly emerged secret organization. Their characteristic is to cover their target with tarot cards." The mature and handsome middle-aged man smiled. "And the different ways in which the tarot cards are presented seem to express different meanings … There are only two cards on this corpse's face. One is' Judgment, 'and the other is' The Emperor. '' Judgment 'is the motive and goal, and' The Emperor 'is the codename of that person's organization? Of course, this could also be a ritual. "
Cardinal Snake didn't answer. He looked around and said,
He looked around and said, "Let's see what exactly happened here."
It was only then that the first batch of Mandated Punishers arrived at Capim's villa.
…
Above the gray fog, Klein, who had only used Paper Figurine Substitutes three times and had yet to reach his limit, was using divination to confirm Daisy's subsequent safety.
"Daisy will be able to return home safely." He held the spirit pendulum in his left hand, closed his eyes, and silently recited the sentence.
After seven times, Klein opened his eyes and saw that the topaz pendant was spinning counterclockwise, but the amplitude was extremely small and the speed was very slow.
This means that Daisy's journey home will have some twists and turns, but it's almost negligible … After reading the revelation, Klein let go of his last worry.
He then looked at the two items in front of him, both of which were emitting a strong spiritual glow.
One of them was a light-blue, translucent hexagonal prism. Wisps of light streaked across it from time to time, like lightning that came from the depths of one's consciousness. This was the Beyonder characteristic left behind by Lady Katy.
The other belonged to Parker, who hadn't been of much use in the previous battle. His Beyonder characteristic had condensed into a ball, like a child's fist.
This "fist" was composed of three colors: iron black, dark red, and a large area of silver white.
Without any hesitation, Klein conjured a pen and paper, prepared to use the two Beyonder characteristics to divine the corresponding potion formula.
Before he advanced to Sequence 7, the Beyonder characteristic he left behind had too many additional influences, so it was almost impossible for him to divine the formula. Even with this mysterious space eliminating the interference and increasing his divination abilities to a certain extent, it was still impossible.
Therefore, in the past, Klein only had one method — mediumship.
Only after he became a Magician did he possess the ability to divine using the Beyonder characteristic he left behind above the gray fog. However, there was a high chance that he wouldn't succeed.
This time, without exception, Klein shamefully failed.
However, he also gained something. He figured out the corresponding Sequence names of the two Beyonder characteristics.
Parker is a Sequence 8 Sheriff, and Katy is a Sequence 7 Interrogator … Isn't this the Arbiter pathway? This pathway is in the hands of the royal family, the military, and a small number of ancient noble families in Rouen. And they have strict control over the leaking of formulas and Beyonder ingredients … Could it be that a portion of the girls Capim kidnapped will be sent to a noble's manor?
But there's no need for them to send four Beyonders to help Capim just to enjoy themselves. This is clearly unfair … Horace is much stronger than Katy. Perhaps he's a Sequence 6 of this pathway, and after wearing that glove, he might even reach Sequence 5 … Could it be that some bloody and evil sacrifices are involved, and the target they seek can't be exposed?
Apart from the kingdom, the Feynapotter Castiya family also has this Beyonder pathway in their hands, and they've passed it on to their army and intelligence system … Is it another spy case that involves some unknown matter?
Klein tried to divine a few of his guesses, but he failed once again.
He temporarily threw the matter to the back of his mind and tapped the edge of the long bronze table.
As long as there's the formula and the corresponding supplementary ingredients, these two Beyonder characteristics can respectively make a person a Sequence 8 Sheriff and a Sequence 7 Interrogator … Miss Magicians's friend named Xio seems to be lacking the Beyonder ingredients for Sheriff …
Next time, I can sell Parker's portion to Miss Magicians through World. I can quickly accumulate the materials needed for my subsequent Faceless Sequence … It doesn't seem appropriate to always go through World. This time, I've deliberately left the tarot cards. If Miss Justice were to hear of this matter, she would definitely think that it was done by my adorer … I'll get Mr. Fool to help him sell it …
Klein quickly finalized his plan and made the Sheriff and Interrogator Beyonder characteristics fly to a corner and hide in the junk pile.
I wonder what the Sequence 6 and 5 of the Arbiter pathway are called … It feels like I'm using order and law … Judge? Klein reined in his thoughts, half-closed his eyes, and carefully examined his condition.
He once again felt his spirituality become lively. The potion was being pried open, and his digestion was speeding up.
This time, he intuitively believed that he had summarized most of the Magicians's Code of Conduct. The remaining details were better, but it didn't matter if he didn't. It wouldn't affect his digestion too much.
Conjuring a fountain pen and goatskin, Klein wrote as though he had strengthened his memory:
"Magicians's Code of Conduct:
"1. Don't perform unprepared.
"2. Challenge the impossible, even if the final outcome is fake."
Klein believed that the above were the two core principles of the Magicians's Code of Conduct. Grasping them meant grasping the crux of the matter. The remaining ones were supplementary and perfected.
"3. Take the initiative to perform.
"4. Try your best to get the audience's applause.
"5. Control the target's attention."
…
Putting down the dark red fountain pen, Klein browsed through it from beginning to end and made a judgment.
"Daily acting combined with three to four active" performances "is enough for me to digest the Magicians potion before the new year. If I were to challenge the impossible again in the middle, the progress would be even faster … This is about the speed I hope to achieve."
There were still about two months to the first of January 1350.
After doing all of this, Klein rubbed his temples and prepared to return to the real World.
After putting away the Dark Emperor card, Biological Poison Bottle, and other items, he suddenly laughed and said in a self-deprecating manner,
"Challenge the impossible … Isn't this equivalent to courting death?"
As his voice echoed, Klein's figure disappeared above the gray fog.
In a cheap hotel in the Baekeland Bridge area, he suddenly opened his eyes and saw the candlelight for his summoning ritual.
After quickly dealing with the loose ends, Klein put on the thick worker's jacket that he had just bought for 4 soli and walked to the window.
He picked up the sweet iced tea he had bought before and looked at his blurry figure reflected in the window. He revealed a heartfelt smile and whispered to himself,
He revealed a heartfelt smile and muttered to himself, "Cheers."
Just as he said that, he touched the glass in his hand, raised his chin, and drank it all in one gulp.
Following that, he leisurely left the hotel. The nearby gas lamps were all lit up, and the pedestrians and carriages were busy, oblivious to the explosion at the border of Cherwood Borough and West Borough.
Klein strolled around the Bravehearts Bar and paced around for a while. At 7: 58, he knocked on the door of Old Mister Eye of Wisdom's Beyonder gathering.
He put on the iron mask and the hooded robe. He behaved like an ordinary person.
…
At the same time, Xio, who would go to different places every night to check some contact marks, saw a symbol that had never appeared before.
It belonged to the golden-masked man who had sold the Sheriff formula to her under the guise of someone else at the gathering Mr. A had convened.
It was the symbol of an emergency meeting!
He didn't look for me before, and I pretended that nothing had happened. Why did he suddenly … Xio thought for a moment and decided to take a look.
The golden-masked man had promised to give her some missions so that she could save up enough money to exchange for the corresponding Beyonder ingredients.
Thus, Xio changed locations and marked the time and place of the meeting.
Half an hour later, in a remote but well-connected alley, Xio, who had been secretly observing for a while, walked out of her hiding place and walked towards the golden-masked man.
The man was still wearing a black tuxedo, and his light brown eyes swept over Xio's head.
"I have a mission for you."
"Difficulty and reward?" Xio asked familiarly.
The man nudged his mask that seemed to be forged from gold.
"It's not dangerous, but it might be very dangerous. It all depends on what you do.
"The initial reward is 30 pounds. If you can obtain any useful information, I can even directly give you a Beyonder ingredient corresponding to Sheriff."
"What mission?" Xio frowned slightly.
The golden-masked man's gaze darkened.
"Through your channels, find out who has been asking about Capim recently."
"Capim? That human trafficker? "Xio asked in surprise.
The golden-masked man nodded.
"Yes."
"I refuse this mission. I hate him very much!" Xio immediately rejected him.
The man opposite her scoffed.
"I'm not working for Capim.
"Because he's already dead."
"Dead?" Xio was momentarily stunned.
"He died in his own home. His body was covered in tarot cards, and there were two of them on his face. One was Judgment, and the other was The Emperor. By the way, take note of any incidents involving tarot cards that haven't been reported to the police department in recent years," the golden-masked man added.
