Under Klein's control, Señor, who had transformed into a wraith, passed through the thick soil and rocks and arrived beside Sharon. He saw a broken armrest with asymmetrical patterns buried in front of him. It was similar but different from the wooden fragments he had previously discovered.
The armrest wasn't pure black. There was a dark red color in the patterns, as though iron and blood were intertwined.
Recalling the scene from the nightmare, Klein confirmed that this wasn't the high-back chair the young man suspected to be Medici was sitting on.
This was the second one!
There were at least two high-back chairs in the room where the evil spirit was sealed!
"Klein" and Sharon didn't say a word as they circled around in different directions in search of other traces.
Before long, they found proof of the existence of a third high-back chair!
It was a leg of a chair. It was mainly dark red with pure black patterns. It was completely different from the two wooden fragments from before.
"Perhaps it's a problem caused by the asymmetrical characteristics of the Fourth Epoch …" Klein knew Sharon's style, so he took the initiative to speak, saying words that he didn't quite believe.
In the nightmare caused by the evil spirit's aura, the high-back chairs that appeared were at least of the same color!
Sharon shook her head slightly.
"'Three' is more ritualistic."
She was referring to the fact that Blood Emperor Alista Tudor wouldn't be the only one who wanted to harm the innocent. There might've been a ritual in the room where the evil spirit was sealed.
Klein was taken aback when he heard that as a scene suddenly flashed across his mind.
In the spacious and dark room, with a certain spot as the center, there were three high-back chairs of different styles. Sitting on each chair was a humanoid creature with a drooping head and no aura. One of them was Red Angel Medici.
This scene became clearer and clearer, and Klein instantly thought of two other things:
The main ingredient of the Sequence 0 Black Emperor's potion was the Uniqueness and two Sequence 1 Beyonder characteristics (excluding the one he had);
Blood Emperor Alista Tudor seemed to have forcefully jumped from Sequence 1 Prince of Disorder of the Black Emperor pathway to Sequence 0 Red Priest, which wasn't a neighboring pathway. He had become a half-mad true god!
As his thoughts raced, Klein quickly came up with a guess.
This room had once held a ritual to advance to Sequence 0, one that involved a true god!
Of course, based on the complicated ritual required by the Black Emperor, this should only be part of the potion. The pathway that represented "war" clearly needed the chaos and strife of the entire continent to match.
As for Blood Emperor Alista Tudor, he didn't possess the corresponding Sequence 1 Beyonder characteristics. Therefore, his Red Priest potion needed three Sequence 1 angels or Sealed Artifacts to provide the Beyonder characteristics. This was why there were three high-back chairs!
Right, the evil spirit that's suspected to be Red Angel Medici once said that the way to help it escape the seal is to find the direct descendants of the Sauron, Einhorn, and Medici families, and extract 10 milliliters of blood from each of them to mix with holy water … Sauron and Einhorn are angel families that control the Hunter, which is also the Red Priest Beyonder pathway. They have existed since the Fourth Epoch. One has already declined, and it can only control a spy agency and military faction with Intis. The other is still the royal family of Feysac … A thought flashed through Klein's mind as he made a new judgment of what had happened in the room and the true identity of the evil spirit.
On the other two high-back chairs sat the ancestors of the Sauron and Einhorn families, Sequence 1 angels!
Together with War Angel Medici, who might very well control the Uniqueness of this pathway, the main ingredient of the Red Priest potion was gathered!
And that evil spirit was likely not just Red Angel Medici. It also had the remnant psyche and hatred of Sauron and the Einhorn family's ancestor!
Man, three Sequence 1 angels were once "sacrificed" here! "Their" curses and the remnant effects of the ritual before "Their" deaths made this room abnormally terrifying and sealed it? Thankfully, I reported it to the Church ahead of time and got them to deal with it. Otherwise, even if Miss Sharon and I had advanced to Sequence 4, we might still die here and become the evil spirit's food … Klein felt a sense of lingering fear and relief.
At the same time, he increasingly understood the reason why the Red Priest card had landed in the hands of the evil spirit. When all the former upper echelons of a pathway were buried in this underground ruin, the attraction between Beyonder characteristics would naturally guide the wielder over without any deviation.
Furthermore, the Emperor had said that whatever separates will definitely converge, and whatever converges will definitely separate. After Blood Emperor Alista Tudor perished, the true god characteristic he possessed, which is also a Sequence 0 characteristic, would likely be split into four parts …
One is considered abstract and conceptual, the Uniqueness. The rest are three Sequence 1 Beyonder characteristics. If not, when someone becomes a god, the corresponding Beyonder pathway will no longer have a Sequence 1 …
Would one or two of these Sequence 1 Beyonder characteristics be drawn into the sealed room? This was likely one of the reasons why the Cards of Blasphemy were attracted! The more Klein thought about it, the more he felt that he had underestimated the evil spirit.
As expected of angels promoted from Conspirer … Klein, who was standing under the tree, controlled Señor to speak.
"Perhaps it really is a ritual.
"Matters related to Blood Emperor Alista Tudor must be of a very high level."
Sharron listened quietly and added, "I'm sorry.
"Sauron, Einhorn, Medici …"
Miss Sharon also suspects that the three high-back chairs in this room once belonged to different angels from the details of the evil spirit's request … Klein thought for a moment and took the initiative to reveal through Señor.
"Blood Emperor Alista Tudor should be a true god of the Hunter pathway. The Card of Blasphemy he represents is the Red Priest."
Sharon fell silent for a few seconds, as though she had understood something.
She said, "That card is gone."
She was referring to the Red Priest card that the evil spirit had previously displayed.
"Perhaps that evil spirit had long escaped before the Nighthawks and Machinery Hivemind destroyed this place." Klein voiced his guess. "And it took away all the Beyonder characteristics and the Red Priest card."
Sharon silently surveyed the area and said, "It's very cunning.
"It's very cunning. It wouldn't leave such an obvious clue."
That's right. The Beyonder characteristics outside the sealed room are clearly below Sequence 4. To an evil spirit that was once a King of Angels, they aren't attractive at all. It's the same for the Red Priest card … It's understandable that it took away the items in the room, but why didn't it leave anything behind? This is like saying to others, "Haha, I lied to you. I've successfully escaped. Hunt me down if you have the ability" … Wait, that might be what it's trying to express! As Klein thought about it, he suddenly found it amusing as he made Señor speak.
"No, being cunning doesn't mean not leaving behind any clues.
"Sequence 8 of the Hunter pathway is Provocateur."
At that moment, the Red Angel's appearance that surfaced in his mind was pasted with Anderson Hood's picture.
Sharon listened without moving. Her mouth was slightly agape, but she didn't say a word.
Similarly, Klein fell silent. He felt that the Beyonders of the Hunter pathway had very distinct styles.
In comparison, the red-haired Elaine didn't look like someone from the Sauron family at all.
However, she's still very talented at provoking Vice Admiral Ailment … Hmm, back then, the members of the Sauron family infuriated the Emperor … Klein silently exhaled as he lampooned.
The silent atmosphere was quickly broken by Klein. His puppet, Senor, looked around and joked, "That's not a good idea.
"Perhaps that's why they were captured here."
"Who's helping Alista Tudor?" Sharon's figure asked in a transparent and illusory manner, but she didn't seem to be looking forward to an answer.
Perhaps it's the six deities … "Klein" recalled the six statues in the hall outside.
However, he quickly wavered.
However, the seven deities support the Telun Sostel Empire. Sauron and Einhorn are powerful nobles of this empire.
Of course, I can't eliminate the possibility of them first supporting Tudor and then falling out because of 'His' madness.
If it's not the six deities, does that mean that there's another deity supporting Alista Tudor? Who could it be? Klein thought silently.
Sharon didn't stay any longer as her figure floated up to the ground and returned to the side of the tree.
Klein put away Senor's wraith and made it enter the gold coin in the iron cigar case. Then, he casually asked, "What happened?
Then, he casually asked, "Actually, I've always been curious about where the powers of pure evil spirits and wraiths that don't possess Beyonder characteristics come from."
"The spirit world," Sharon answered simply.
Beyonder characteristics are conserved, but the source of Beyonder powers might not be the same? Hmm, it's also possible that the spirit world itself is a product of certain Beyonder characteristics … Klein nodded and looked at the soil at his feet.
"I'll continue investigating the whereabouts of the evil spirit. If I find anything, I'll inform you."
He planned on asking Arrodes later.
With that said, he took out a pen and a note, scribbled down the summoning method for his messenger, and handed it over.
"If there's anything, you can write to me."
Sharon took the piece of paper and looked at it seriously.
"I'm at The Brave.
"You can write to 126 Garde Street, Hillston, addressed to Mrs. Marilyn."
"Alright." Klein put the pen in his pocket and used the silver ritual dagger to create a wall of spirituality in front of Sharon to reseal the iron cigar case.
Then, like a gentleman, he went to another street to hail a rental carriage and sent Sharon all the way back to the Baekeland Bridge area.
After doing all this, he returned to the high-end hotel in Hillston Borough that he had rented. On the way, he changed his appearance and switched to a carriage.
…
Bayam, Seaweed Bar.
After drifting on the sea for a while, Dhaniz set foot in the City of Generosity again, planning to coordinate some affairs for the resistance army.
He pulled down his cap and sat at the corner of the bar counter, ready to listen to the latest rumors first, lest he became a bounty hunter due to the lack of timely and inaccurate information.
At that moment, he heard an adventurer beside him say to his companions, "That's right.
"Do you think German Sparrow will get someone to claim Admiral of Blood's bounty on his behalf?"
Ah? Dhaniz subconsciously raised his head and looked at the speaker in confusion.
