Lanarvus is most likely Sequence 8 " Cryptologist," which falls under the " Marauder " pathway. Having an "admission ticket" to the corresponding gathering isn't too incomprehensible or unacceptable; on the contrary, it makes perfect sense... Purchasing magical items that allow one to Stealing others' extraordinary abilities at the gatherings of the " Hermits of Fate " is definitely much easier than in other circles... It seems this is the clue that " Snake of Fate " Will Auceptin mentioned... Klein sat on the edge of the bed, suddenly enlightened.
He busied himself setting up a ritual to summon himself, entered the Gray Fog, and brought the badge, no bigger than an eyeball, back to the real world.
The badge is inscribed with symbols representing " Fate " and " Concealment " on the front, while the back bears small Ancient Hermes inscriptions. "He who possesses this may join."
Klein was about to infuse his Spirituality, activate the badge, and send out the "message" to receive the latest meeting time and location simultaneously, but suddenly hesitated.
"... I was careless for a moment and forgot whether there was any danger in doing Divination! If there is Demigod elder of Lanarvus in that gathering, and he uses this to pinpoint my location, then I'll be in big trouble. It's like how ' Vice Admiral Ailment ' Tracy found the ' Demoness of Unaging ' as an accomplice in a very short time. I can't be careless... As a person, you have to be reckless when you need to be reckless, and you have to be timid when you need to be timid!" Klein slapped his forehead and cautiously re-entered the mysterious space above the Gray Fog, using the " Spirit Pendulum Method " to perform Divination.
Having been assured that there was no danger, he breathed a sigh of relief, left the Gray Fog, and sat down in an armchair in his hotel room.
As he infused his Spirituality power, a hazy, clear light emanated from the surface of the badge, which quickly coalesced into an inconspicuous beam of light that shot into the air.
Not long after, the same beam of light returned, scattering into a palm-sized illusory parchment on which was written a line of words in Ancient Feysac:
"9 PM, June 6, 1350, at the mouth of the Tussock River."
There are still more than four months left... With that time, I won't have any problem collecting all the main materials for " Marionettist " again. The only obstacle is not having enough money, but that's not difficult. I currently have 6,945 pounds in assets, which will be more than enough to sell one or two more Beyonder Characteristic. Besides, there are plenty of mobile bounties at sea. No, I can't be so arrogant. I have to exclude the Four Kings and the Seven Admirals... What kind of clue is this? Klein leaned forward, his back slightly hunched, and began to think hard again.
Following the gathering of the " Hermits of Fate," he suddenly thought of someone:
Leonard Mitchell!
The poet classmate participated in the " Hermits of Fate " gathering in the Babur Valley. Regardless of his purpose—whether it was official business or personal work—he might have obtained a magical item that allows Stealing others' extraordinary abilities... Could he borrow it from him, or buy it? This was the real clue! Klein's spirits lifted, and he quickly came up with a rough plan:
"The first step is to place the radio receiver above the Gray Fog to accumulate its scent;"
"The second step, a few days later, is to use that radio receiver to contact the Magic Mirror Arrodes;"
"The third step is to inquire where one can relatively easily obtain magical items that Stealing other people's extraordinary abilities;"
"If the answer is clear, then follow the prompts in the fourth step and easily achieve your goal. If the answer is ambiguous or dangerous, then ask the poet where he is now."
"Fifth step: have Emlyn White take this badge to the poet classmate and see if he has the corresponding item and if a trade can be made. I won't show myself directly; I might get recognized, which would be extremely troublesome. Emlyn is now considered a member of the Church of the Earth Mother —no, a ghost of the Church of the Earth Mother. Let him make the contact; even if the poet classmate reports him or catches him on the spot, he won't be burned at the stake."
With a plan for what to do and how to do it, Klein felt refreshed and in a good mood, and decided to go out for a Bayam specialty grilled fish.
On the deep blue sea, the " Golden Dream " sails quietly, bathed in the golden glow of the setting sun.
With the captain's permission, Danitz entered the other's room amidst envious glances, sometimes timid and sometimes proud.
The most common thing inside was bookshelves, with books displayed on top.
" Vice Admiral Iceberg " Edwina stood in front of the desk, holding a black fountain pen, writing words rapidly:
"... I don't have any similar items, and neither does Jodeson. He said he'd keep an eye out for you, but that would require a lot of luck."
Edwina raised her head, her clear, Blue Eyes looking at Danitz:
"You will set up the ceremony, the ceremony to summon the Gehrman Sparrow."
"Me?" Danitz was wondering if he would receive special treatment from the captain when he heard this and pointed to himself in surprise.
"Yes." Edwina folded the letter, straightened up, and nodded. "This will help you familiarize yourself with similar rituals; I'll be testing you on this aspect later."
"Alright..." Danitz suppressed his disappointment, tried his best to recall, and slowly arranged the ceremony with only one candle.
Finally, under Edwina's watchful gaze, he took out a gleaming Loen coin and placed it on the altar.
After receiving the letter, Danitz mentally rehearsed the ceremony twice before daring to proceed.
He stepped back and Ancient Hermes:
"I!
I summon in my name:
"A spirit wandering in illusion, a benevolent creature at your disposal, a messenger unique to Gehrman Sparrow."
Ugh!
The wind howled within the Wall of Spirituality, whipping Danitz's scorched yellow hair into a tangled mess.
The flames expanded rapidly, growing to the size of a human head, and were as pale as the letter in Danitz's hand.
Soon, Danitz saw a head emerge with long, light gold hair, blood-red eyes, and a strikingly beautiful face.
"Hiss, Gehrman Sparrow. How can Spirit World creature be completely like a human, and such a beautiful lady, only slightly less attractive than the captain... Um... "Danitz's exclamation suddenly stopped, because he discovered that the head wasn't on the neck, but was being held up by the hair by a hand.
He stared blankly as one head after another emerged, until a headless figure dressed in a somber, elaborate long dress appeared before him.
He was indeed Spirit World creature... He felt ashamed of his earlier thoughts.
Taking a breath, Danitz hurriedly handed over the letter and saw one of the beautiful heads open its mouth and gently bite it with its white teeth.
At that moment, Reinette Tinekerr's other head also bit into the gold coin on the altar.
But she didn't leave immediately. The four scarlet eyes of the remaining two heads turned at the same time, looking at Edwina Edwards Wall of Spirituality, examining her from head to toe several times.
Edwina felt she was being scrutinized, and this scrutiny instilled in her an overwhelming sense of fear.
Reinette Tinekerr withdrew her gaze, her figure blurring and merging into the pale candlelight.
The flames rekindled, the dim light spread outwards, and everything returned to normal.
Just as Danitz dispelled the Wall of Spirituality, he heard the captain say in a low voice:
"This is no ordinary Spirit World creature..."
Not an ordinary Spirit World creature? Danitz was taken aback.
He knew the captain was a professional researcher of Spirit World beings; if she said it was extraordinary, then it truly was extraordinary, extraordinary beyond the ordinary sense!
"Gehrman Sparrow is a man who keeps many secrets..." Danitz remarked with a touch of admiration.
Backlund, Cherwood Borough.
With all her might, Fors finally overcame the Sloth brought on by the fireplace. She changed into a dark blue, thick cotton dress, wrapped a light gray scarf around her neck, put on a warm lady's hat, and left her rented house in the not-too-low but foggy and chilly weather. She took a carriage to Williams Street.
She took a breath of the cool air and told herself that this was normal for Author going out to gather material; she shouldn't be nervous or show anything unusual.
After walking a few steps, Fors entered a café, sat by the window, and sipped his warm, fragrant liquid while observing the passersby and the houses across the street.
"Nothing unusual at all, not even fights or thefts... This is a place where rich people live, the security is hundreds of times better than the East Borough... Heh, I even saw Feysac man, he's so tall and strong, like a bear, and he has some companions... Haha, those must be Intis people, right? Their clothes are so flamboyant, like they're performing in a stage play... Backlund truly lives up to its name as the Capital of Capitals, I can meet so many foreigners..." Fors gradually forgot his purpose, opened his notebook, and Record his observations.
After finishing her coffee, she took a stroll around the streets, but left empty-handed, planning to come back on Thursday.
After receiving Edwina's reply from Reinette Tinekerr, Klein watched his messenger disappear, making sure she didn't ask for any more gold coins.
It seems that using gold coins as ritual materials is quite effective... He smiled smugly and opened the letter to read it through.
Seeing that he had no luck, he decided to continue wandering the streets, looking for opportunities to actually Acting and put the principles he had summarized into practice.
Just then, he heard a knocking sound at the door. The visitor was Captain Elland.
"I was just looking for you," Klein said calmly Door Opening.
Elland chuckled and said:
"No need. As long as you register with your own identification, I can know where you live."
The governor's office and the military are doing a good job managing the hotel... Klein nodded without saying anything.
Elland turned halfway around and pointed to the corridor:
I'm taking you to see someone.
" The White Agate is about to return to Pritz Harbor. If you need help or have any information, you can go to him. We are always generous when it comes to paying rewards."
This was exactly what Klein had previously asked him.
"Okay." Klein reached for the coat rack.
After getting dressed, Elland led him to the Fragrant Leaf Bar and towards a corner.
The basement area of Fragrant Leaf Bar.
" The Sweet-Talker " King Mithor looked at " The Strongman " Oz Kent opposite him and said:
"Have you gathered all the latest intelligence on ' Blazing ' Danitz?"
"Yes," Oz Kent said with a smile, "Last week, ' Blue Eyes ' Mith saw ' Blazing ' Danitz hanging out with a strange adventurer."
