"Slumber Charm", which was shining with light and making a slight explosion, was thrown directly into Mirror World by Angel, and then Klein and were not disguised. Only then did the figures of Marionette, "Winner", Enzo, and "Hell Admiral" Ludwell appear completely in front of her.
Angel stared blankly at the three people who suddenly appeared, with Will Auceptin's words still echoing in his ears.
Only then did she understand what the other party meant, and the source of the "obstruction" was actually the Klein they were talking about.
"The power of fate is amazing, isn't it?"
She seemed to see the infant Will sucking his fingers and sighing.
Of course, this was just an illusion. This "Snake of Fate" looked at the three new arrivals as if she had just dismissed the maid, until Klein let out a slightly embarrassed laugh:
"I didn't expect it to be quite crowded here."
He probably planned to directly use Charm to put the maid guarding the baby into a deep sleep, but it turned out to be "a step too late"... Angel smiled and looked at Klein, who was dressed in the Southern Continent, and exchanged a few words with Will, and then looked at himself:
"Are you also here to offer congratulations?"
"Not only that, but you also get free ice cream for a year."
Angel showed off again. Seeing Klein's somewhat miserable expression, it was obvious that he had also thought of this plan, but had not yet put it into action.
After a chuckle, she shared the key to Will Auceptin's previous conversation with Klein, of course, hiding the "obstructed" part. After all, this was obviously something Will didn't want Klein to know.
"Destiny... This is similar to my guess, remember? I have not been affected by various Misfortune or Good Luck before..."
Klein muttered, falling into a brief thought.
However, he quickly reacted and took out a ball-jointed object that looked like the head of a cane. It was inlaid with transparent gems and engraved with complex and mysterious magic symbols.
"This item can restore a certain amount of strength to you during your weak period. As agreed, you can give me a drop of your umbilical cord blood."
Respectfully handing the item to the stroller, Klein said in a soft tone.
I remember that this was the demand of "Hermit" on Tarot Club. At that time, I also wanted to ask Anne for a drop of blood, but Sequence 1's Angel was obviously a better candidate... Angel looked at the baby holding the head of the stick with his fleshy but weak hands and observed it, and said with a cry:
"But it can only be used once!"
"Is there any problem with this? With your status and strength, you can completely reproduce this item. Doesn't this mean that it can be used unlimited times..."
"Tsk, this is what you said!"
Watching Klein argue with reason, Will Auceptin refused to give in, and the two reached an agreement through bargaining. Angel's frustration due to his blood being obtained by Ouroboros and his earlier concerns about his "origin" was actually relieved.
It's a pity that such warm and absurd scenes don't often appear. At least Backlund can't find another baby who can talk about it less than two days after birth, and there is no Mid Sequence who dares to bargain with Sequence 1's Angel...
After Klein reached an exchange agreement in a seemingly unfavorable conversation, the baby's hand that had been holding it spread out, and two drops of silver blood floated up, which seemed to contain countless illusory circles. Upon closer inspection, Angel discovered that this was actually a long belt composed of symbols that were connected end to end and kept looping, just like the long looping river that appeared in his eyes when Ouroboros "Reboot" Calderon.
Even if he possesses divinity, even if his blood has passed the initial seal, Angel still feels that the thoughts in his mind begin to repeat, and it takes a long time to get rid of it.
Just these two drops of blood are enough to make people on the entire street fall into a permanent cycle until they die or are broken by external forces, just like what happened to Mr. Forsaken Land of the Gods "Sun"... This is what happened to Sequence 1 Angel, and Angel is just born and in a weak state. If he uses the head of the staff to regain his strength, I am afraid that it only takes one thought to destroy the entire city. I almost thought of him as an ordinary baby just now...
Angel thought with some fear. It was not until Klein carefully collected two drops of blood and asked how to use the blood to make Charm that he smiled again.
"So, have you finished your work?" She first asked Klein, and when he nodded, she continued with a probing tone, "Mr. Will Auceptin, if we need to use external forces in a certain battle, can we pay a certain price to get your help?"
"Do you think I can leave this city and go to the Southern Continent?" Will raised his hands with difficulty, waved them tentatively a few times, and replied, "In addition, my full name has become Will Kris."
Southern Continent, this shows that He knows what we are about to face...Angel nodded as if in confirmation and continued:
"So, what suggestions can you give about the Sealed Artifact '0-08' and its owner..."
Before he finished speaking, Will Kris, who had just changed his name, clapped his hands, his fleshy mouth suddenly opened, and he let out a sharp cry:
"Wow!"
Ah, He suddenly lost his mind?
Angel was stunned, hearing the footsteps of the maid rushing outside the door, and could only look at Klein with regret, who opened her mouth and left the noisy baby room with Marionette "Teleportation" before the door was pushed open.
After settling several times over the ocean, and finally returning to a hotel in the Southern Continent West Bayam Cookawa City, Klein immediately took four steps backwards, entered Gray Fog, and sat on the throne belonging to "Fool".
After some busy work, he "gifted" one of the drops of blood he had just obtained to the waiting "Hermit" Cattleya, and prepared to keep the other drop for himself, praying to Evernight Goddess to create a Advanced Charm in the Misfortune realm.
"Snake of Fate" Will Auceptin... No, his surname is Chris now. He generously provided an extra drop of blood, not only because he might need me to help him regain his strength in the future, but also to remind me that the battle was imminent...
Klein thought about it, moved some things from the pile to the table, and watched them fall into a long silence.
There is Expedition Team of "City of Silver" killing Shapeshifter, sacrificed by Chief Colin to Trickery Monster 0 of "Fool" The main eye and blood of, the real soul body and dust of Spirit World Marauder, and of course everything Auxiliary Materials needs for other "Trick Sorcerer" Potion.
Put aside, there are two "Worm of Time" sent to him by Leonard Mitchell through Reinette, which originated from the "Old Man" parasitized in the poet's body. In order to separate them, they would fall into a deep sleep for up to two weeks. As compensation, Klein gave Leonard the "Luck Stealer" Charm that he had never had a chance to use.
"With the addition of the umbilical cord blood of 'Snake of Fate', in addition to the progress on Potion, my combat effectiveness in other aspects has reached the highest level... It's a pity, if it can be delayed a few weeks..."
Gray Fog's helpless whispers from Klein echoed.
His digestion of "Marionettist" Potion has entered the final stage. According to his own estimation, he only needs one large-scale "Marionette performance" to completely digest it. Even if he cannot do it, he can complete the performance within two months by deploying Marionette normally.
"At that time, I can take advantage of the opportunity to kill Ince Zangwill and complete the ritual of 'Trick Sorcerer'. I will not only complete my revenge, but also be promoted to Demigod..."
With a sigh of regret, Klein gave himself the ticker soaked in Gray Fog, and then returned to reality. According to the procedure, he contacted Arrodes who was far away from Backlund across the entire Berserk Sea.
It's not that he didn't want to summon this "licking dog" directly at Backlund, but he was worried that "Amon" wandering around City of Cities would locate the vulnerable "Fool" during this period, so he hurriedly asked for umbilical cord blood from the newborn "Snake of Fate" and quickly left the city.
With a clicking sound, the ticker automatically spit out an illusory piece of white paper, with a human figure waving a flag drawn on it, followed by two paragraphs Loenese:
"The supreme and eternal great wise master, your humble and loyal servant Arrodes is here at the call!
"You know what? Today is Mistress's birthday!"
Let me ask a familiar question first, and... Klein watched the paper fall on the table indifferently, and nodded slightly:
"Know."
Without waiting for Arrodes to remind himself that he should ask a question, he continued:
"I need to digest Potion of 'Marionettist' as soon as possible, do you have any suggestions?"
Amidst the clicking sound, the ticker spit out a brief line. "The way you are now is the correct and only way."
That is to rely on controlling Marionette to perform, or complete large-scale "drama", which is inexplicably consistent with the promotion ceremony of Sequence 4... Klein has already expected it, so there is not much disappointment.
In this case, don't think about any perfect solution, seize the opportunity in front of you first, during the short window when Ince Zangwill has to reveal his whereabouts due to being possessed by an evil spirit...
He forcibly cut off his thoughts to avoid being noticed by "0-08" who might be nearby.
Although this Mystical Item can only write a "story" within the scope of one city, its response to the crisis should be almost "global".
"Next question," Klein continued after calming down and looking at the ticker, "I see the specialness in myself from the perspective of my own Marionette, 'Winner' Enzo. I think that's what you see too... Now tell me, what do you see in me?"
This problem stems from a suicide attempt a few days ago after Marionette obtained "Winner". Klein looked at himself with Enzo's eyes through shared vision, and saw a diffuse gray mist and a brilliant light gate.
... and then he fell unconscious.
This is almost comparable to the experience of directly divination "Eternal Blazing Sun" and "True Creator", and it also made Klein somewhat understand the level of his own power.
Under his gaze, Arrodes was silent for a long time before typing out a few slightly distorted words:
"In you, I see Pillar and dominance... Are you satisfied with this answer?"
Pillar, control... combined with Will's words, could it be that the power in me is the control of destiny?
Thoughts flashed through Klein's mind, and he wanted to continue asking, but he was worried that "Mother Tree of Desire", whose home field was Southern Continent, would sense Gray Fog's aura, so he ended the conversation in a hurry.
After putting the ticker on Gray Fog again, Klein stood in the living room, surrounded by two Marionette, trying to clear his mind and looking out the window at the bright sunlit street.
After a while, he took out a small box that still contained body temperature from the inner pocket of his double-breasted dress, slowly opened the delicate lid, and took a look at the contents inside.
Then, with a sullen face, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, revealing a smile.
