"We're here."
As the only person in the three-person team who could drive, Leonard took on the task of driving a two-wheeled carriage. After three hours, the Nighthawkss who traveled through the country roads finally arrived at Morse Town.
Klein heard Leonard's shout outside the car and pushed Door Opening out. Looking at the golden wheat field in front of him, he couldn't help but sigh.
"It's harvest season, it's so beautiful..."
Leonard put down his riding crop, jumped out of the driver's seat, dusted off his windbreaker, and stood next to Klein. His green eyes swept across the endless fields, and he took a deep breath, as if preparing to recite an improvised poem for the occasion.
But then, he only held back one sentence:
"It's so beautiful..."
"Unqualified acting, Mr. 'Midnight Poet'."
A melodious female voice came from behind the two of them. Klein looked back and saw that Angel was walking out of the car, holding the door frame with one hand and holding Sealed Artifact "Mutated Sun Holy Emblem", the holy emblem emits unique warm and pure fluctuations, like a shrunken Sun that does not emit visible light, making Angel's fair face even more beautiful.
"No, she said she just put on makeup. It's normal to look better than usual..."
Klein thought secretly, looking away with a slight heat in his cheeks.
A middle-aged man approached the three of them. He was wearing a black priest's uniform. After standing still, he first drew Crimson Moon on his chest, and then asked.
"Everyone, are you our friend from Saint Selena Cathedral who came to help us?"
"Yes, you must be Priest Siel," Leonard took the initiative to take two steps forward and replied, "We came here specially to deal with the haunting incident."
"It's a suspected haunting incident, sir."
Priest Siel emphasized a sentence loudly, then lowered his voice and continued:
"Sorry, I don't want the townspeople to panic too much."
"I understand, but don't worry, we are professionals in handling these matters."
Leonard smiled slightly, opened the windbreaker that was never buttoned, and magically took out a bottle of holy water, a few strings of garlic, a silver dagger and a beautifully crafted dark holy symbol from the inner pocket.
The surrounding townspeople who had heard the conversation and had silently come forward saw his "professional" preparation, and they all showed happy smiles.
This guy Sequence 7 should not be promoted to "Nightmare", but should be changed to "Actor" Pathway - if there is such a kind of Potion Pathway.
Klein looked at Leonard's freely retractable acting skills, and remembered the "Sequence swap" seen on Roselle's Diary, and couldn't help but complain in his heart.
After quickly dismissing the surrounding townspeople, the three followed Priest Siel to the only church in the town, which is also the belief of the vast majority of the town's residents, the church of Evernight Goddess.
After setting up the carriage, the three Klein quickly filled their stomachs with a simple lunch of bread, bacon and coffee.
"More than half of the six hours have passed. We need to solve the haunting incident here as soon as possible, and then recover our strength in batches before driving back to Tingen, otherwise we will all turn into idiots who only know Praise the Sun."
Klein wiped his mouth with a piece of paper and suggested to Leonard, who was currently keeping "Sun Holy Emblem" and was getting a little heated by the gradually strengthening effect of Purification. He nodded after hearing this.
Beyonder can last for 6 hours under the effect of this Sealed Artifact. If it does not reach the limit, you can return to an unaffected state as long as you leave it for more than 1 hour.
It takes 3 hours to get back to Tingen from here.
Leonard gave the garlic and holy water he carried to the other two people. The three Nighthawks carried these things like swindlers and followed Priest Siel to the "haunted location" closest to the church - the home of an old man living alone.
The priest knocked on the door. An old man who had lost his left hand alertly blocked the crack in the door. Looking out, he saw that it was a priest from the town and then he called Door Opening diligently to welcome the four people in.
"Thank you for coming from the city. I have been tortured by the mysterious and terrifying footsteps for two nights. It always reminds me of the days when I participated in the war..."
Leonard was about to walk through the door, but Angel stopped him first.
From behind, Klein could see that Angel's entire back was tense, as if he was guarding against an attack that would come from nowhere.
Immediately, he also felt the cold breath flowing out from the door. It was the induction of his own Spirituality, which meant that there was indeed a ghost wandering here.
Leonard's expression became serious. He looked at Priest Siel who was asking the old man living alone to leave so as not to interfere with the "ghost exorcism", and whispered to Klein:
"There are indeed traces of unclean creatures here, but they are very weak. It won't take long before Sealed Artifact will deal with them on its own."
"It's your turn now, just wait a few minutes."
After saying that, Midnight Poet showed a weird smile and moved away from the door.
Obviously you are Actor...
Klein cursed, hanging the dark holy emblem he received from the other party on his chest, unscrewing the glass bottle of holy water with a pop, and surrounding the house, scattering the holy water everywhere. Then he broke open the dried garlic he found somewhere, and threw it into the corner of the room one by one, muttering something in his mouth.
"Evernight Goddess..."
"Crimson Mother..."
"Lord of Silence..."
He did not dare to recite the prayer in full for fear of attracting Evernight Goddess's attention. After seeing his current behavior, he directly lowered Divine Punishment. Before the haunting problem was solved, he was solved first.
The townspeople who were watching on the side found it very novel and talked a lot. They even murmured comments such as "I can feel the warm and pure atmosphere surrounding me" in a low voice. They all began to praise Goddess and praised the priests from the big cities for being professional.
"That's the effect of Sun Holy Emblem!"
Klein felt like a curly-haired baboon in the circus, being judged by Spectator. He couldn't help but interrupt his prayers, complained in a low voice, took the bottle of holy water on the side, and poured it out the door and in front of the townspeople, causing a burst of joyful shouts.
He suddenly felt that his "clown" Potion had digested a lot.
After a few minutes of "performance", Leonard walked into the door and nodded secretly, indicating that the traces of ghosts around him had been completely removed by Sealed Artifact.
Klein breathed a sigh of relief and threw the last few cloves of garlic into the corner as the last step of "exorcising ghosts".
"Okay, this house has been 'cleaned'. We still have the last bit of the End work to do. Please leave for now and keep this place quiet."
Angel also said to the onlookers at the door.
After seeing the methods of several "city priests", the townspeople did not express any objection, but left obediently. Even the owner of the house stood far away with Priest Siel.
"Okay, do you need to divine the cause of the matter?"
After closing the door, Angel asked Klein.
Very cooperative!
Klein mentally praised his teammates, took out a piece of white paper and wrote down the divination word, sat on a chair in the living room, leaned back on the chair and closed his eyes.
Although I know that Mr. Azik made the noise, I might be able to use divination to figure out the source of his extraordinary power and solve the problem of his life experience...
He thought and fell into a dream.
In an illusory and hazy world, Klein saw a black pyramid. Its shape was similar to the buildings of ancient civilizations on earth, but it was in an inverted state, with the tip embedded in the ground, revealing a wide and flat "bottom".
An inverted pyramid? Is it the style of the Southern Continent?
Recalling "his" knowledge as a history college student, Klein opened his eyes and left Dream Divination, telling his two teammates what he saw.
"It sounds like Balam Empire of the Southern Continent. It is said that the so-called descendants of Death over there will build an inverted pyramid for themselves as a mausoleum. The scene you divined is probably the symbol of 'Death', which is undoubtedly related to ghosts."
Leonard also seemed to have some knowledge of history and immediately pointed out the role of the building.
The other Nighthawks, Angel, obviously knew nothing about anything, their eyes were wandering, and they were in a state of confusion.
With a secret chuckle, Klein stood up from the chair and walked towards the door.
"Let's go, there are still several "haunted" places waiting for us. Leonard will exorcise the ghosts later, and I will wear Sun Holy Emblem."
Even if he could digest Potion, he wouldn't do the stupid thing he did just now a second time.
