There was no time to ponder such trivial matters. Klein, whose existence had been " Concealment," immediately swapped the positions of the " Winner," Enuni, with the new Marionette Swap specially made by pirates.
Immediately afterwards, he activated " Creeping Hunger," Teleportation the Marionette Enuni and Qonas to the vicinity of the secret tomb in Awwa County.
--Because only three images from the Historical Void can be maintained at a time, Klein cannot simply discard the Marionette and come over directly, instead using the method of summoning projections, as that would occupy a crucial slot. As for the remaining Marionette in the Memorial Day Square, they will not die on the spot within half an hour; they will just appear to be in a daze. However, this state is not very noticeable when listening to the speech. After that, if Klein does not return, the " Red Gloves " squad of the Church of Evernight will come to deal with them.
Meanwhile, outside the secret mausoleum in East Chester County, Bernadette, dressed in a girlish yellow cake dress and wearing an old-fashioned black soft hat, emerged surrounded by pea vines that seemed to grow out of nowhere.
Her chestnut hair fell naturally, her eyebrows were long and straight, and her eyes seemed to contain a vast blue sea.
After glancing at the mountain wall in front of her, the " Mystery Queen " stretched out her right hand and quickly sketched symbols in the air.
As her fingertips moved, drops of bright red blood, like tiny gemstones, seeped out and solidified in mid-air.
Soon, a complex symbol composed of layers of "doors" emerged, trembling slightly, as if resonating with something unknown.
In the blink of an eye, the crimson symbol expanded into a phantom, semi-transparent door, through which one could vaguely see a massive mausoleum made of black stones.
Bernadette immediately stepped through the illusory gate and arrived at a dark and secluded area.
The light here comes from the stone pillar lights on both sides of the winding road and the unique underground moss growing on the cliff face, which together illuminate the secret mausoleum located in the light mist at the bottom.
The symbols provided by "Mr. Door" are really useful!
Just then, as a ritual was being performed deep underground, a faint, deep light gathered and solidified into a human figure in the dim sky.
The figure had a square face, black hair, Blue Eyes, a high nose, a thick beard, and a rather solemn expression.
His appearance and image are not unfamiliar to many people in Loen, as it is printed on the front of the £10 note. Of course, even those who have never received a £10 note in their lives can see his statue or portrait in places such as Memorial Day Square.
He was the Founder, Protector, and the Original king of Loen, William Augustus I.
This is Him!
He descended directly from Backlund through a ritual!
Bernadette's expression didn't change; she simply flipped her hand, revealing an item.
The object was golden in color, resembling a miniature kettle, with a wick protruding from its spout.
As Bernadette's right hand caressed the surface of the object, which was covered with mysterious and complex symbols, the wick silently ignited.
The light it emitted was like viscous water, spraying upwards and forming a blurry, Distortion pale golden figure.
"Eternal Deng Shen, my second Wishes is to gain the power of the ' Knowledge Emperor ' for even a day." Seizing the opportunity before William Augustus I had fully arrived, Bernadette solemnly spoke in the Jotun.
The item in her hand is called the " Wishing Lamp," which may have originated in the First Era. Although it has never been obtained by the Seven Great Churches, it has a corresponding "0" level Sealed Artifact number.
"0-05"!
This item can grant its holder any ten Wishes, but this will either be done in a Distortion way or come with unpredictable and extremely terrible consequences.
None of its former owners met a good end, including Roselle Gustav.
The emperor warned his daughter that she could try to avoid the harm caused by the first two Wishes through language and preparation, but she must never make a third Wishes, absolutely not!
Near the secret mausoleum in Awwa County, Klein arrived in Concealment without alerting anyone.
Although time was running out, he did not rashly approach the mausoleum to draw symbols to Door Opening. Instead, he reached out his right hand and grabbed at the air in front of him.
After five repetitions, Klein's arm muscles suddenly tensed, as if he were pulling something extremely heavy.
As he retracted his right hand, a figure was quickly outlined.
The figure had bronze skin, a medium build, black hair, brown eyes, and soft features. Below his right ear was a very thin black mole. It was Azik Eggers.
But unlike Mr. Azik whom Klein knew, this figure had an indifferent gaze, wore a deep black robe embroidered with gold thread, and a bird-shaped crown made of gold, as if looking down on all living beings.
This is the former " Death Consul," Sequence 2 Angel!
Klein didn't give it much thought, and once again reached out and grabbed into the void.
This time, it seemed like he hadn't held anything back, but in reality, he had summoned his past self from a dozen seconds ago, his Concealment self!
Then, Klein tossed a small metal vial to his projection and sent his main body into the Historical Void within the Gray Fog.
His consciousness suddenly came alive within him, becoming extremely agile.
In this Concealment state, Klein, carrying the projection of " Death Consul " Azik, arrived at the location of the secret mausoleum with no visible entrance. He took out the small metal vial from before and used his Spirituality power to guide the blood inside, which shimmered with the brilliance of gemstones, to quickly trace the symbol given to him by "The Door" in mid-air.
The symbol quickly took shape, resonated with a certain point in the mausoleum, and expanded into an illusory gate.
Klein, in his Concealment state, and " Death Consul " Azik passed through the gate one after the other and entered their respective secret mausoleums.
By this time, the guards inside had already discovered the intruders and initiated the pre-prepared ritual, but all they could see was the lofty " Death Consul."
Somewhere in Backlund, the former Duke of Southville, Delrick Augustus, was about to descend into the secret tomb through a passage opened by a ritual when a man beside him suddenly frowned and said:
"This is Azik Eggers, no, He's very rigid, like Historical Projection summoned by the ' Scholar of Yore ' of the Secret Order."
"Your Highness, I'll go over there. You stay here and guard against the ' Scholar of Yore ' lurking in the shadows. They may not be Angel, but they're troublesome enough."
Delrick Augustus a somewhat Pride old man with a few silver strands in his black hair and a sparse beard. Upon hearing this, he chuckled and said:
"Isn't that ' Scholar of Yore ' right here? Although he's in Concealment, I've already discovered him through the imbalance in the surrounding area."
"He's misleading us, making us think he deliberately sent the summoned historical images to attack this place while his real body went elsewhere. In reality, he's hiding next to Azik's projection, waiting for this ' Death Consul ' to distract us, and for us to focus our main efforts elsewhere, before using his Concealment to approach the mausoleum and cause damage."
"Moreover, regardless of the reason, since he has summoned the Angel projection, even if you carry a level 0 Sealed Artifact, you will not be able to eliminate the target in a short time. If this affects the mausoleum, all our efforts and perseverance will be in vain."
"If that ' Scholar of Yore ' was engaging in triple misrepresentation and actually went to another tomb, he couldn't possibly summon another Angel from the Historical Void, and you could eliminate him quite easily."
As he uttered the first words, Delrick Augustus entered the passage that opened the ritual; the remaining words were spoken one by one by His illusory image remaining in the place.
Inside the secret mausoleum in Awwa County, Azik Eggers, surveyed the surroundings before his body suddenly swelled up, transforming into a Serpent that blotted out the sky above the mausoleum.
This Serpent was both illusory and real, seemingly composed of things incomprehensible to humans. Its entire body was covered with enormous, dark green scales, from which pure white feathers grew. Each feather and each scale bore strange symbols of different shapes. Even just seeing them would cause flesh to rot and turn one into Living Corpse.
This is the Feathered Serpent god from the mythology of the Southern Continent. Pale flames burn in his eye sockets, and a pair of exaggerated and thick wings spread out behind him.
Amidst the howling wind, the Feathered Serpent coiled in mid-air stretched its upper body forward and spewed out a pale flame large enough to cover the entire mausoleum.
... Mr Azik's Historical Void image is definitely much weaker than the original, but it still has such power... As expected of the son of the Death, the governor of the Balam Empire... Although Klein in his Concealment state had conducted summoning experiments at sea, he still did not expect that the Azik projection in its current state would be so powerful.
At that moment, a faint, deep light emerged from inside the mausoleum, halting the surging, pale flames.
They then formed a human figure, none other than Delrick Augustus, Sequence 2 " Balancer ".
Upon seeing Him, Klein, in his Concealment state, suddenly became stiff and rigid, able to act only on instinct, because Klein's true form had returned from the Historical Void, outside the secret mausoleum.
Then, Klein Teleportation directly to the outside of a secret tomb downstream of the Tussock River, took out another small metal vial, and, in Concealment state, used his Spirituality power to guide the blood inside to fly out and outline symbols.
A few seconds later, the symbols resonated and transformed into a gate, through which Klein, along with the Marionette Qonas and Enuni, stepped inside.
Of course, he also has newly transformed Marionette lurking in the rivers and forests outside.
Near the " Number 1 Ruins " on the outskirts of Backlund, a figure broke free of invisibility and became visible.
Her hair was jet black and lustrous, her face slightly round, her features delicate and sweet, and her temperament exceptionally outstanding—she was none other than the Witch Trissy.
As Trissy approached " Number 1 Ruins ", she also took out a small metal vial and used the blood inside to trace the symbol provided by Mr. "Door".
A virtual door quickly took shape.
