Backlund Iris Flower Winery in the suburbs.
Angel had already put on her nightgown and was about to enjoy a rare high-quality sleep. Suddenly she felt something touched by Spirituality, and looked around inexplicably. Spirit Vision also followed it, but found nothing.
Strange, it doesn't seem like a real problem, is it related to my "Mirror Person"?
She was careful not to get into Mirror World and directly enter the mirror projection of "City of Calamity". Instead, she chanted her own Honorific Name and refused to respond, allowing this prayer to be transmitted to "Mirror Person" for her to respond.
Soon, a voice that was exactly the same as hers but with a slightly different intonation came back to Angel's ears in the form of a "gift":
"I also noticed the touch of Spirituality. It was caused by someone calling your 'Historical Void Image'. Because the situation was unknown, I refused."
What is that...Angel was at a loss for a while, and then asked the same question through prayer.
"Mirror Person" who was talking to the same Honorific Name through prayer and response across Mirror World from her patiently replied:
"This is an ability only possessed by the high-ranking 'Seer'. It can summon power from the 'history' of people and objects it has come into contact with. For 'people', it means summoning an image that has some abilities but does not have much self-will. It is similar to our 'Mirror Substitution'..."
"Have you encountered the high-ranking 'Seer' recently? Could it be that Zarathus came to your door?"
Does she know Zarathus?
Angel thought for a moment, shook his head and replied:
"It's unlikely. If Little Zarathus really takes action, there must be no interference from Backlund's Orthodox Church. Then Klein and I must have..."
Speaking of this, she suddenly thought that in addition to the "high-ranking Seer" Sequence 1's Archangel, there was another candidate who had closer "contact" with her.
Klein Moretti will be promoted to "Scholar of Yore" tonight!
"Is this ability you are talking about something that can only be possessed by being promoted to 'Scholar of Yore'?"
She asked speculatively, and immediately received a positive answer from "Mirror Person".
Sure enough, it was him... If Klein completed his promotion in the evening and rested for a while to recover, he would probably try his new abilities at this time... Angel's expression softened and he immediately asked:
"The summoner should be Klein. Well, he has just been promoted to Sequence 3. He may be using us as test subjects... What does it mean to agree to his summons and what will be the consequences?"
"Mirror Person" replied in a gentle and gentle tone:
"I remember that this ability requires Seer to have close contact and good interpersonal relationships with the person being summoned, otherwise it is almost impossible to succeed. In addition, if the person being summoned is still alive and has a higher status, he can be aware of his own 'Historical Image' ' When summoned, you can use various methods to temporarily lose the sense of existence of the 'body'. According to the principle of time and consciousness in mysticism, the disappearance of the body means the activation of Historical Image. At that time, you can regard it as Mirror Substitution..."
"You mean, if I 'agree' to the summoning and hide myself in 'Mirror World', can I replace 'Historical Image' with my real body and appear directly in front of the summoner?"
Angel suddenly understood and answered quickly.
"That's it, but this is supposed to be the power that only 'Catastrophe' Demoness has. Because of 'City of Calamity', you and I have a much better grasp of Mirror Substitution than the current Sequence, so we can do this in advance. Therefore, the range of 'response' is limited... similar to the range of responses to prayers to you."
In other words, it is probably within the scope of Backlund, but Klein should try to be promoted far away from Backlund, so as not to be discovered by Zarathus who is staring here. The probability of successfully responding is very low... Angel thought about it, considered it for a moment, nodded and said:
"So how do we respond?"
"His attempt is over. If you encounter this kind of 'calling' again, I will not try to stop it. By then, you will have a stronger sense. Converging your Spirituality is equivalent to refusing, otherwise it will allow him to succeed... You have to be careful, first distinguish whether it is an enemy or a friend, and then respond."
"Mirror Person" said in a rather helpless tone, as if he was worried that Angel's guess Error would fall into the trap of Zarathus.
Except for Klein, she should be the person who cares about me the most. This is different from the description of "Mirror Person" I heard before. It seems that we were close friends from the beginning and there was no need to strive for reconciliation... Angel muttered and took the initiative to cut off the "prayer" connection, waiting for Klein's next attempt.
Within a few minutes, the Spirituality throbbing just now appeared again. Without "Mirror Person"'s active blocking, this touch was indeed stronger, and Angel could feel that the summoning power was extremely gentle and warm, rather than cold for use.
It's him... After confirming again, Angel let go of Spirituality, took the initiative to respond, and then quickly got into Mirror World, trying to sense his own "Mirror Substitution" around him.
As expected, a brand new Mirror Substitution appeared in the direction of East Borough. It seemed to have just been created and was quickly leaving Mirror World and returning to reality.
With a thought in his mind, Angel took the initiative to exchange places with it. Then he felt his eyes light up and his feet stepped on solid ground.
In the narrow room, windbreakers, top hats, and vests were thrown on the floor. Klein, who was only wearing a shirt with two buttons unbuttoned and trousers with the belt loosened, looked at her blankly, his eyes illuminated by the flickering gas light.
Did he really summon "me" to test new abilities?
Looking at the disheveled Klein, Angel forced out a smile, took the initiative to step forward, almost pressed against his body, reached out and touched his cheek and asked softly:
"You are lonely at night, secretly calling me to relieve your boredom without telling yourself?"
"I'm not, I didn't!"
Klein took two steps back suddenly, distanced himself, and denied fiercely.
He immediately looked around and found that he was too tired after being promoted to "Scholar of Yore" and took off his clothes after returning to the East Borough safe house, which was too easy to cause misunderstanding. He immediately added:
"I took this off before going to bed, and look, the nightcap is still on the bed!"
Following the direction of Klein's finger, Angel did see a nightcap with a funny fluff ball hanging on the top.
It seemed that he had indeed been sleeping before, well, just sleeping... Angel was relieved, and then he remembered that Klein had never had any substantial contact with his "Mirror Person", and did not meet the prerequisite for summoning "Historical Image".
"Hmph, that's pretty much it."
She crossed her arms and muttered.
This familiar look immediately made Klein realize that what he had summoned was indeed the main body, not "Mirror Person".
Fortunately, I explained quickly, otherwise I didn't know what would happen... He blinked guiltily, and suddenly realized that he was testing new abilities in an upright manner, and there was no need to be so afraid. What's more, what he summoned was just a Historical Image, not the real body, so he was a bit of a loser...
Thinking of this, he puffed up his chest and asked confidently:
"I'm here to test my abilities, what do you want to do?"
After some fighting, Klein finally realized that the person in front of him was not only not "Mirror Person", but not even "Historical Image", but the body of Angel. He could only pack up the clothes on the floor dejectedly, pull up a chair, and sit opposite Angel, who occupied the only sofa.
He summoned two cups of yesterday's Sweet Iced Tea, handed one to the other party, took a sip himself, and leaned lazily on the back of the chair, listening to Angel explain how she used her control over Mirror World to come here directly.
"I see, this way I can directly pull your Historical Image in the future, and then bring you to my side in the same way, achieving a transfer similar to "The Travels of Grosell", but with better effects..."
After understanding the cause of this "accident", Klein immediately found a positive way to use it, and said with some surprise.
"Unfortunately, this is only within the range that I can respond to, otherwise what you summoned would be just an ordinary image... Maybe after I am promoted to Sequence 2, the range can be expanded to the entire world, just like praying with Honorific Name."
Angel said regretfully.
"This is enough. If we plan well, we can use this method to transfer between several nearby tombs. I can even summon my own Historical Image and let him summon your image and appear in several attack positions at the same time..."
Thinking about the application of new abilities, Klein suddenly changed the subject and asked:
"How is the progress of Anne? During this time, I was busy with promotion matters and didn't pay attention to the situation of 'Dream City'."
"She and Goredolf are still looking for a suitable place to place 'Dream City'. The progress of dismantling the characteristics of 'Catastrophe' Demoness is a bit behind. It is estimated that it will take about ten days... Fortunately, the city's laws have been re-established, and Amon's Avatar can no longer do anything. If necessary, Anne can' Ghost Empire's floating city attacks the mausoleum. In the state of utilizing rather than accommodating the characteristics of 'Hand of Order', this is almost equivalent to a slightly weaker state than Sequence 1's Archangel. However, combined with other Sequence 2's Beyonder Characteristic, it is equivalent to a real Sequence 1."
Angel explained with a solemn expression.
"As long as she doesn't meet George III herself, the other royal family Angel will not be her opponent, but I am not only worried about these royal family members, but also the most important one King of Angel..."
Klein pursed his lips and said, reaching for Sweet Iced Tea, he suddenly found that half of the drink left was missing along with the cup. Even the sour lemon and the sweetness of the syrup in his mouth had disappeared, as if he had just drank air.
He looked intently and found that the paper cup in front of Angel was also missing.
"Wait a minute, I'll get another drink..."
Smiling awkwardly, Klein stretched out his hand to grab the Sweet Iced Teas in history.
The moment the weight reappeared in his hand, he suddenly realized that the ability to summon power in History Void could also be used in another place, a place where he Repeated defeats...
Bang, bang.
Klein, whose heartbeat was gradually increasing, quietly stuffed Sweet Iced Tea back into Historical Void, and then took out a bottle of Sonia Blood Wine.
On another Monday afternoon, as the hour hand pointed to three o'clock, deep red light flashed in Gray Fog in front of Klein, and the members of Tarot Club gathered together again.
After my promotion, I became more and more suspicious that this piece of Gray Fog is actually a kind of "Historical Void", so I can use the high level to summon various items here. As I get promoted, I am getting better and better at mastering this power, but this may not be a good thing, because it is probably not that it is approaching me, but that I am approaching it...
"Fool" Klein thought with some melancholy, waiting for "Justice" Miss to take the lead. After everyone saluted to him, he announced that today's party had officially begun.
After the short trading phase passed, "Justice" Audrey looked around, finally focusing on "The World" Klein, and said solemnly:
"Mr. World, what you reminded us before finally happened...
"Loen Kingdom's great Prince Gowenton died on the front line of the Ammantha Mountain Range."
