"Is it really over?" Y'lisabet asked in disbelief.
Klein smiled and nodded calmly.
"Yes."
"It's not that difficult."
That was a lie … he added silently in his heart.
Perhaps it was because Klein had been very calm, or perhaps it was because he was the only "hoverboard," Y'lisabet no longer had any doubts. She patted her chest and heaved a sigh of relief.
"Thank you. You are a trustworthy gentleman. I was so scared."
"How's Selina? Is she all right? "
"She may fall asleep for a few minutes, but there are no other problems. Well, it's normal for her to be weak for two to three days." At this point, Klein suddenly straightened his face and said solemnly, "Who is her mysticism studies teacher? Didn't you tell her about the basic taboos? "
Y'lisabet immediately stood up straight, like a student who had been scolded by a teacher.
She pondered.
"Selena mentioned before that her mysticism teacher is Hanass Vincent. A year ago, she went to the Divination Club on Howes Street for a divination and got to know this gentleman."
Hanass Vincent … On the surface, he's guiding the magic mirror divination, but in secret, he's teaching "black divination" … If I had known, I would have reported it to the Captain earlier and checked his gas meter … Klein felt a little vexed as he asked in a deep voice,
"Selena's magic mirror divination was also taught by him?"
To Klein, the thing that scared him the most was that it almost affected his sister, Melissa!
Elizabeth nodded cautiously.
"Yes, but Selena's previous attempts with the magic mirror didn't succeed. Uh, she told me today that she peeked at her teacher's secret incantation. There's definitely no problem."
'Little Expert at Courting Death …' Klein pinched the Sun acupoint with a headache.
"Do you remember the spell she chanted?"
Hmm … Although Hanass Vincent didn't take the initiative to teach Selina about the dangers, it was obvious that he was trying to do so. It was only a matter of time before something happened to provoke an unknown, hidden existence. It had to be dealt with as soon as possible to prevent the situation from worsening and affecting others …
"I remember part of it." Y'lisabet recalled. "She used Hermes in mysticism. As you know, I've only been in contact with it for a short period of time. I only remember the words' wandering, '' heroic spirit, '' creator, 'and' kin. '"
Creator? The True Creator? Many underground mysticism enthusiasts did indeed believe in this ancient existence that was revered by many secret organizations … Yes, an ancient existence that appeared more than a thousand years ago in the early Fifth Epoch! Klein nodded thoughtfully.
"When Selena wakes up, remember to ask her about the complete incantation and find a chance to tell me."
"Alright," Elizabeth answered readily.
But soon after, she asked doubtfully,
"Mr. Moretti, why don't you ask her directly?"
"I don't want Melissa to know that I'm interested in mysticism. Can you keep it a secret for me?" Klein replied with a question.
Elizabeth bit her lower lip and her eyes lit up.
"No problem. Melissa does prefer machinery over mystery, and rationality over intuition."
Klein pressed the hand holding his hat to his left chest and bowed like a gentleman.
"Thank you for your understanding. As for Selena, you know that she's not a person who keeps secrets."
"A more accurate description would be that she likes to share secrets with others," Y'lisabet agreed.
Klein wore his hat and thought for a moment.
"When Selena wakes up, remember to tell her that she suddenly fainted and smashed the mirror. I believe that her memories must have stopped at the time when she first started the magic mirror divination. "
Seeing Y'lisabet nod, he turned serious again.
"Remember, be it divination or attempting other mysticism knowledge, do not pray to existences other than the seven deities! If you see any incantation that doesn't belong to that type, immediately burn it and stay away from the provider! "
"If I hadn't discovered it in time today, Selena would have become a monster or an evil spirit in ten minutes. And no one here would have survived, including me!"
Thinking of the cold "Selena" in the mirror, Y'lisabet didn't doubt Klein's words at all.
She sighed with lingering fear and said, "I know. I'll remember that. I'll also monitor Selena."
"Alright, go in and take care of Selena." Klein waved his silver-inlaid black cane and walked towards the staircase.
As he walked, his eyes darkened and he looked inward. He took out a penny with his right hand and flicked it into the air.
"There's no problem with Selena anymore."
"There's no problem with Selena anymore."
…
Klein quickly repeated the statement and reached out to catch the falling copper coin. He saw that it was George III's head facing up.
This wasn't a simplification of spirit dowsing, but a simplification of dream divination. In that instant, Klein had used Cogitation to force himself to sleep and "spiritually" wander the spirit world. The front and back of the coin were symbolic symbols.
The head was correct, but the numbers were wrong!
Very good, there's no problem … Klein spun the brass coin happily on his fingertips.
It was a simplification that only a Seer could complete.
…
Y'lisabet stared at Klein's back. She saw the flying penny and how he caught it.
Only when Klein disappeared down the staircase did she turn around and enter the bedroom. She saw Selena sleeping on the floor with glass shards all around her.
She held her breath and tiptoed to look at the mirror shards. She confirmed that there was no longer a cold "Selena" in it and that it reflected the ceiling.
Phew. Y'lisabet was completely relieved as she heaved a long sigh of relief.
However, she failed to help Selena onto the bed despite trying a few times. Instead, she woke her up.
"Y'lisabet … What happened to me? Am I drunk? "Selena asked weakly. Her bright eyes had dimmed and were filled with confusion.
Y'lisabet thought for a few seconds and replied in an abnormally serious manner, "No, Selena.
"No, Selena, there's a problem with you. Your magic mirror divination has attracted a bad existence."
"Is that so?" With Y'lisabet's help, Selena weakly sat on the edge of the bed and massaged Sun's acupoint. "I only remember that I just started using the magic mirror divination."
Y'lisabet said half-truthfully, "You seemed to have changed into a different person.
"You were like a completely different person just now. The you in the mirror was even a little different from the real you … I was so scared, so I used the excuse of giving you a surprise, took you into the bedroom, snatched your mirror, and smashed it on the carpet. Then, then, then, you fainted."
"Goddess bless you. You're normal now!"
"I-I don't remember …" Selena muttered with a pale face.
The more she thought about it, the more her mind went blank and the more afraid she felt.
Subconsciously, she looked up at the desk and realized that the arrangement was clearly different from before.
What exactly happened … Selena thought hard, but she could only vaguely remember a person wearing a black tuxedo and a half top hat. He wasn't strong or tall, but he had a rather straight back.
"Selena," Y'lisabet said solemnly. "The last time I went to the underground market to buy an amulet, I met a mysticism expert. He told me that no matter what, I should never pray to an existence other than the seven deities. Otherwise, I would definitely attract a calamity. Promise me, don't try again. I didn't even know if I could save you just now!"
Selena was also frightened out of her wits as she hurriedly nodded.
"No, I'll never try again!"
"Oh, what did the incantation you used during the magic mirror divination mean? If I have the chance to meet that mysticism expert again, I'll help you consult him, "Elizabeth said, feigning casualness.
Selena rubbed her Sun acupoint and thought for a moment.
"The Heroic Spirit that lingers, the True Creator's kin, the eyes that stares into fate."
…
Tap. Tap. Tap.
As Klein walked down the stairs, he carefully adjusted the creases on his clothes and patted off the dust on them.
Then, he took off his half top hat and slowly returned to the long dining table with his silver-inlaid black cane.
"Where did you go? It's almost been ten minutes. "Selena's brother, Chris, happened to fold his cards as he turned his head and asked.
Klein smiled.
"The bathroom, then I went to the second floor to meet a few ladies and ladies."
"I admire your directness," Chris praised.
He had red hair and a short stature that had been passed down in his family. He wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and had a rather capable bearing. He was an outstanding solicitor.
If you knew that I knocked out your sister on the second floor, you definitely wouldn't say that … Klein humbly said, "We were just discussing some academic issues."
"We were just discussing some academic issues."
In the field of mysticism …
He put down his hat, returned to his seat, and waited for the next round to begin. He had two cards up his sleeves.
Tilting the corner, he saw a King of Spades and an Ace of Diamonds.
My luck has turned for the better … Is this my reward for doing a good deed? Klein took out a copper coin and prepared to place his bet.
Since the incantation wasn't revealed to Selena by Hanass, there's no need to be in a rush to inform Captain … he thought.
In the subsequent rounds, he maintained a tight hand and only bet when he had a good hand. He didn't try to bluff someone he wasn't confident in. Overall, he didn't win much. By the time it ended at half past ten, he had won six pence.
"I won two soli and eight pence." Baansen played with the notes and pence in his hand.
"I didn't expect you to be an expert at poker," Klein praised with a smile.
"No, I don't really play cards, but I know that this is the same as negotiating. I have to hide my cards and see through the other party's cards. Then, I have to use all sorts of methods to scare or lure them …" Before Baansen could finish his sentence, he saw Melissa and the others come down from the second floor.
"It's time to go home." Klein glanced at his sister and her friends as he massaged Sun's acupoint.
The throbbing pain in his head was still present.
Following that, Klein went to the bathroom and, by brushing past her, learned the complete incantation from her.
When he returned to his brother and sister, he smiled.
