Upon hearing Helmosuin's answer, the corners of Klein's mouth twitched uncontrollably as he nearly froze on the spot.
My enemies aren't in Bayam … Even if you were to die in front of Sea King's door, it wouldn't be of much use … He slowly took a deep breath and didn't continue the topic from before.
Instead, he asked, "Helmosuin, no, Mr. Hilarion, why did you notice me?"
Furthermore, you specially came to warn me before I died!
This was also the question he had about Arrodes and Miss Messenger Reinette Tinekerr, but he never had a good chance to ask.
Helmosuin fell silent for two seconds before saying with a smile, "Some of your traits aren't a secret in the eyes of a few special, high-level spirit world creatures.
As long as they come into close contact with you, they will be able to discover it. After all, the gray fog that represents the great ruler above the spirit world is right above our heads. A few deities with unique authority or Beyonders who represent fate can also discover this to varying degrees. Of course, the premise is that they have come into close contact with it. "
Gray fog … Although Orange Light's description is almost identical to Arrodes's compliment, he has pointed out the gray fog. This is the first time I've encountered someone directly pointing this out in front of me! Therefore, that mysterious space is a divine kingdom left behind by the great ruler above the spirit world? What pathway's Sequence 0 is this? The deities who can discover that I'm augmented by the gray fog include the Mother Tree of Desire. That's why "She" is targeting me? Klein's thoughts were like boiling water as he churned with questions.
Just as he was about to say something, Helmosuin continued.
"In Yellow Light's prophecy, the great ruler above the spirit world is one of the variables of the apocalypse. However, I can't be certain that you are equivalent to 'Him.' There are too many possibilities for you to possess that trait. For example, you are 'His' Blessed, 'His' child, or 'His' chosen Oracle. However, this doesn't stop me from expressing my friendliness.
"Ahem, you know of the Baekeland Stock Exchange, right? You're like a railway company that has just been listed. It seems to have good prospects, so a number of people will naturally think highly of you and buy a certain number of shares. Many people will be extremely greedy and wish to use other means to occupy the company or obtain controlling shares. The former is me, while the latter is the Mother Tree of Desire and even more powerful spirit world creatures. "
Is that so … If it wasn't for the fact that there was a transmigrator, Rosell The Great, before me who was related to the gray fog, and if it wasn't for the fact that I had divined my origins in that mysterious space and obtained a clear image of Earth, allowing me to recall more memories, I would have suspected that I was the reincarnation of the great ruler above the spirit realm … Looking at the overall experience, Rosell The Great and I are closer to the chosen Oracle … The great ruler above the spirit realm is equivalent to the Celestial Worthy of Immeasurable Blessings? Klein inevitably had all kinds of speculations, and his mind was in a mess like a ball of yarn that had been played by a cat.
He calmed himself down and said,
"Is there any way to hide that trait?"
"Become a Demigod." Just as Helmosuin finished answering, he suddenly coughed twice and said, "Do you mind if I die at your doorstep?"
"… I do mind." Klein didn't want to be noticed by demigods like Sea King Jaan Kottman and Admiral Robert Davis.
Helmosuin took a bite of his candy.
"Then I have to leave immediately, or else it will be too late.
"When you become a Demigod and have the ability to explore the depths of the Spiritual Realm, we will have the opportunity to meet again."
Klein was silent for a second.
"Thank you for your reminder, Mr. Hilarion."
Helmosuin didn't reply. His footsteps were heavy as he walked toward the staircase.
As he listened to the sound of stairs descending, Klein retracted his attention. He suddenly had a guess about how Rosell The Great was able to discover the existence of the gray fog but was unable to enter.
He recovered the silver plate that led to his transmigration a long time after he became a Beyonder. As for me, I was an ordinary person when I attempted the luck enhancement ritual again … Also, Rosell The Great chose the Savant pathway, while I'm a Seer. The powers of the mysterious space above the gray fog are clearly extremely helpful for divination.
Therefore, the prerequisite for entering the world above the gray fog is to be an ordinary person or a Beyonder of the Seer pathway, as well as to grasp the corresponding incantations, rituals, and symbols? The Emperor experimented too late and chose the wrong pathway, so he naturally couldn't enter.
According to the fact that Seer, Apprentice, and Marauder are of similar pathways, the latter two seem to be possible as well. Could this be the deeper reason why the Emperor lamented in his diary that he should've chosen one of the three back then? Apart from not having a Sequence 0 in these three pathways and not having any influence from the top, they also contain the key to entering the gray fog?
As his thoughts churned, Klein temporarily suppressed the matter that couldn't be verified. He considered Orange Light Hilarion's warning.
Be careful of the Mother Tree of Desire!
Due to the matter with Admiral Amyrius, Klein was rather wary of the Mother Tree of Desire. He had no choice but to change his identity and hide for two months by acting. Later on, he wasn't too willing to provoke Admiral of Blood and the other members of Rose School, afraid that he would fall into a trap.
Towards hidden and extremely dangerous matters, an ordinary human's first thought was to resolve it. It was the same for Klein, but the problem was that he didn't have a solution.
The Mother Tree of Desire was suspected to be a Sequence 0 true god, and it resided in the astral world. Even if Klein jumped up, he wouldn't be able to hit or defeat "Her." And the faction "She" controlled, Rose School, was an organization with a long history. It was very likely to have an angel presiding over it and a Grade 0 Sealed Artifact. Otherwise, it would've been very difficult for them to survive to this day under the hostility of all the Churches and secret organizations. Therefore, even if Klein sought the help of a friendly figure like Mr. Aztec, there was no way to uproot Rose School. He might even encounter danger.
Due to these reasons, all Klein could do was hide as much as he could, hoping that he could successfully advance to Sequence 4 and become a demigod.
I've always been careful of the Mother Tree of Desire. Doesn't Mr. Orange Light Hilarion know that I once encountered this evil god's trap on Oravi Island?
Or could it be that he specially came over to warn me that "She" will be taking action soon?
Hmm … He was previously controlled by Admiral of Blood, and Admiral of Blood is from Rose School. It's very likely that "He" knows something!
Klein instantly came to a realization. He didn't blindly believe that a Faceless's transformation would be able to fool the Mother Tree of Desire's gaze!
According to Orange Light Hilarion, "She" is able to discover a certain trait of mine in close contact. This is something that Faceless's Beyonder powers can't conceal! "She" hasn't taken action for so long. Could it be that "She" is attempting to bestow this feeling to "Her" believers through some ritual or artifact, and "She" is about to succeed? Klein slowly frowned. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible.
This made him want to return to Baekeland. In that huge city, even angels had to behave themselves, just like a particular Snake of Fate. The believers of the Mother Tree of Desire and the powerhouses of Rose School couldn't act wantonly anymore. All they could do was patiently wait for an opportunity!
Phew … Klein exhaled and headed above the gray fog to divine if his life would be in danger.
This time, the answer he received was a negative. There was no danger to his life.
However, Klein didn't relax because of this. He remembered that the Mother Tree of Desire's interference towards divination could penetrate the gray fog to a certain extent!
And a long time ago, his spirituality had prevented him from divining the Werewolf Beyonder characteristic above the gray fog. This was because it might very well involve the Chained God, and the Chained God was suspected to be the embodiment of the Mother Tree of Desire.
Either I'm really fine and I'm overthinking things, or the danger is already very close, which is why the Mother Tree of Desire interfered … It's better to be careful and make preparations. Even if it turns out to be a false alarm, it's better than being captured by Rose School and being taken away by the Mother Tree of Desire for who knows what! Klein immediately returned to the real World, took out a pen and paper, and quickly wrote a letter. The first line was "Honorable Mr. Aztec."
Considering that the Underworld was in the spirit world, in a sense, demigods of the Death pathway were considered high-level spirit world creatures. After Mr. Aztec recovered his memories, it was very likely that he would be able to tell that he possessed such a characteristic. Klein didn't hide much as he directly wrote down the entire process of his meeting and conversation with Orange Light Hilarion, who had transformed into the great scientist Helmosuin. However, he didn't mention the gray fog or the mighty existence above the spirit world.
In the end, he mentioned one more thing.
"Does Mr. Hilarion's warning mean that I'll soon encounter fatal danger from Rose School?"
After folding the piece of paper and blowing the copper whistle to summon the messenger, Klein felt that it wasn't safe enough. He hurriedly took out the adventurer's harmonica and blew it.
Without a sound, Reinette Tinekerr appeared in front of him. Her four blonde, red-eyed heads turned around and said, "Don't worry, I won't kill you.
"No …" "Letter …"
"I have something to discuss with you." Klein forced a smile and handed over the gold coin he had obtained from Anderson. "This is the summoning fee."
One of the heads that Reinette Tinekerr was holding bit down on the gold coin. The two who hadn't spoken before asked, "What's going on?
"What …" "Matter …"
"I might be in danger in the near future. I wish to summon you for help. Is that possible?" Klein tried his best to make his gaze appear sincere.
The eight eyes on Reinette Tinekerr's four heads darted around at the same time.
"Yes …" "Pay …" "Ten thousand …" "Gold coins …"
… Ten thousand was equivalent to ten thousand pounds! Klein opened his mouth and smiled with great difficulty.
"I don't have that much money right now."
Reinette Tinekerr's four heads spoke one after another.
"You …" "Can …" "Pay …" "In installments …"
"In installments …" Klein never expected Miss Messenger to be so fashionable. He was taken aback for two seconds before saying, "Alright."
Reinette Tinekerr didn't say another word as her four heads nodded at the same time. She vanished from Klein's sight and returned to the spirit world.
