Mr. X looking for someone with unusual luck? Above the Gray Fog, Klein pondered the information provided by Miss " Magician," trying to glean useful information from it.
After thinking for a while, lacking Spirit Intuition, he decided to change his perspective and recall the people around him who had unusually bad luck, to see if there was any underlying connection.
Hmm... Anderson Hood, the Strongest Hunter in the Sonia Sea, is one... Doctor. Allen Kreis is another... Wait, they were all influenced by one of the " Snake of Fate "... " Angel of Fate " Ouroboros is one of the founders of the Rose Redemption, a Concealment organization that supports and believes in the " True Creator "... The Aurora Order essentially the church of the " True Creator "... A series of events flashed through Klein's mind, quickly forming a conclusion:
"This is ' Angel of Fate ' Ouroboros searching for ' Mercury Snake ' Will Auceptin!"
"He is directing the members of the Aurora Order to help him find ' Mercury Snake ' Will Auceptin!"
This means that behind Mr. X, somewhere in Backlund, there exists an Angel King!
In this situation, my attempt to assassinate Mr. X would be tantamount to suicide... No wonder Mr. X didn't care about Backlund's special status at all... The official forces could at most assume he had a Saint behind him. Well, in the official records, the Aurora Order's higher-ups only have five Saint. In that case, they would make Error... After making his judgment, Klein's first thought was to reject Miss " Magician's" commission and warn her not to provoke Mr. X.
If "reporting to the police" hadn't implicated " Mercury Snake " Will Auceptin, and if the extraordinary events files of the Church of the Evernight Goddess hadn't clearly documented Allen Kreis 'Doctor luck, Klein would have wanted Miss " Magician " to report " Angel of Fate " Ouroboros and Mr. X to a certain church!
He calmly pondered for a few more seconds, then materialized "The World" Gehrman Sparrow, instructing him to pray within the Gray Fog:
"I've confirmed the situation and will give you a reply tomorrow."
He didn't refuse outright because he planned to ask " Mercury Snake " Will Auceptin first!
He then returned to the real world, carefully took out the now extremely fragile origami crane from a hidden compartment in his wallet, and gently unfolded it.
Klein didn't rush to write down the content. Instead, he first thought about what questions he needed to ask, carefully drafted a mental outline, and then took out a pencil and sharpened it to a fine point with a knife.
After stretching his muscles, Klein wrote:
"Members of the Aurora Order are looking for people with abnormal luck."
Do you know how to create talismans using the ' Worm of Time '?
"Is your umbilical cord blood considered the blood of Mythical Creature? If so, and I want a drop, what price would I have to pay?"
Klein had wanted to ask Will Auceptin why he was able to remain rational, after all, church records showed no open worship of the " Snake of Fate," but he ultimately restrained himself, fearing that the unborn Will Aucess might give a somewhat irreverent answer, "When did you get the idea that I'm rational?"
In that case, he wouldn't know whether the other person was joking or telling the truth.
Well, although there is no organization that worships the " Snake of Fate," there are still beings similar to the " God of Luck " in some regions, as part of traditional customs... Perhaps they are just disguises for Will Auceptin or Ouroboros... Klein muttered to himself silently, and using all his " Clown " abilities, finally folded the origami crane back up and put it under his pillow.
Only after doing all this did he have time to calculate how much cash he had.
£17,046 + 5 gold coins + 3 Soli and 8 pence in change... If he also had assets such as houses, manors, and company shares, such a large amount of liquid funds would make him a millionaire in Backlund... Of course, he was still far from being a top-tier tycoon, whose standard was a total asset of one million gold pounds... While Klein was delighted to have a lot of money, he also thought about his debts and the large investments he needed to make to maintain the character's established image.
He immediately drank some water, lay down on the bed, covered himself with a light and warm blanket, and slowly drifted off to sleep.
In a daze, Klein suddenly regained consciousness and saw the desolate black plain.
He made his way into the dark spire in the center of the plain, passing through its chaotic layout, until he reached the depths of the tower, where, as always, a circle of tarot cards was scattered.
However, no silver words appeared on the raised surface in the center of that circle of tarot cards.
Will Auceptin didn't answer... Then why did you pull me into this dream? As Klein wondered, he suddenly saw a black baby carriage slide out of the shadows, inside which lay an infant whose features he couldn't make out, wrapped in silver silk!
"... Mr. ' Snake of Fate '?" Klein asked politely but cautiously.
The baby then emitted a clear sound:
Why are you so sure it's Mr.?
"Isn't this based on your name? Don't worry about such details!" Klein muttered to himself, but relaxed considerably due to the other party's casual attitude, and said:
"Then how should I address you?"
The infant-like Will Auceptin hummed in agreement and said with difficulty:
"I haven't decided yet..."
"You know, oh, you don't know, every time I start over, I try to be a little different to maintain a good mental state. You should act like a child when you're a child."
Klein's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this:
"Is this the ' Monster's' way of maintaining sanity and fighting madness?"
Will Auceptin, answered cheerfully:
"Yes, every time I start over, I wash away the madness. However, this still requires a certain level of faith and direction, otherwise I cannot maintain the state of Sequence 1 for too long."
"Hehe, you know much more now than before."
"Hmm, besides faith-based positioning, there are other ways to combat madness, but ' Restart ' is clearly a unique ability belonging to the ' Monster ' pathway Sequence 1 ' Snake of Fate,' which other Beyonder Pathway cannot imitate... Mr. Azik's constant loss and regain of memories, does that also imply this?" Klein nodded thoughtfully, seizing the opportunity to ask:
"I suspect Ouroboros is trying to contact you through members of the Aurora Order."
Will Auceptin chuckled:
"I've been playing hide-and-seek with Him for a long time. He's not good at this kind of thing. It's obvious that He didn't have a childhood. Every time Restart, He grows up next to the ' True Creator,' lacking the experience of different psychological states at different stages. This makes Him sometimes crazy, but of course, He doesn't care."
"I instructed Ricciardo to leave certain marks in some places using the ' Die of Probability,' which will confuse Ouroboros's judgment, and He will soon leave Backlund once again."
In other words, there's still a chance to assassinate Mr. X... Hmm, let's first Divination the level of danger in the Gray Fog... Klein didn't continue the topic, instead asking:
Do you know how to use the ' Worm of Time ' to make talismans?
Will Auceptin, inside the stroller, didn't answer directly, but instead asked a question:
"The ' Worm of Time ' you obtained from Pallez Zoroast?"
"How did you know?" Klein paused for two seconds, then asked in return.
What surprised him wasn't that the other party could explain the origin of the " Worm of Time," since there wouldn't be many Demigod like the " Marauder " who could create clones using such a thing. What puzzled him was why the " Mercury Snake " didn't guess the origin of the " Blasphemer " Amon, who had also left behind the " Worm of Time "!
Will Auceptin laughed:
" Pallez Zoroast isn't quite right in the head. Parasitism your former colleague—oh yes, your former colleague is investigating Sherlock Moriarty and came to my house in the middle of the night."
"I sensed something was off about him, so I gave him a brief period of Misfortune, allowing him to encounter other Demigod hiding in Backlund. And when he was in danger, Pallez Zoroast. Haha, actually, it wouldn't have mattered if he hadn't intervened; it was just a prank. I'll make your former colleague lucky enough at the crucial moment."
Leonard is investigating Sherlock Moriarty? The old man inside him is named Pallez Zoroast... Klein frowned slightly, wondering what the problem was.
Will Auceptin continued:
"Making the ' Worm of Time ' talisman shouldn't be too difficult for you. You can invoke your special request, using a mixture of mercury and pure silver as a medium to inscribe the corresponding symbolic meaning."
Not too difficult... Pray to the " The Fool "? Well, that mysterious space above the Gray Fog is clearly attractive to the " Marauder's " path as well... Klein listened with excitement, vaguely grasping something.
Just then, Will Auceptin added with a smile:
"As for the corresponding symbol, I have no idea."
... This sudden turn of events... Klein's lips twitched involuntarily.
Seeing that Will Auceptin was no longer speaking, he quickly put on a smile and said:
"There's another question about your umbilical cord blood..."
Before he could finish speaking, Will Auceptin suddenly opened his mouth and made a sound:
"Wow!"
He cried like a real baby.
"... Speak properly..." Klein stood there, stunned.
If it weren't already confirmed, he would seriously doubt whether the person in front of him was actually Sequence 1 being, or the Speaker of the School of Life.
"Alright, alright, I just want to ask if it's the blood of Mythical Creature," Klein said, raising his hands slightly.
Will Auceptin stopped crying immediately and said with a smile:
"Of course, but I'll replace them beforehand, otherwise everyone here will die."
He paused and then said:
"If you can offer something suitable, I can give you a drop."
"Okay, goodbye!"
As soon as Will Auceptin finished speaking, Klein felt the tower shake, and the dream shattered instantly.
He woke up quickly.
