What is something that a " Snake of Fate " finds interesting and suitable? Klein slowly sat up and put a cushion behind him.
He pondered for a while and decided to put the matter aside for Will Auceptin was still at least a month away from being born, and he could leave the problem to " The Hermit " Cattleya or the " Mystery Queen " Bernadette behind her, letting them worry about it.
Of course, Klein does not rule out the possibility that Will Auceptin might suddenly decide to have a premature birth.
He gradually shifted his attention to creating the " Worm of Time " charm Will Auceptin, the " Snake of Fate," he possessed almost all the necessary qualities, lacking only the corresponding symbol.
Praying to the " The Fool," drawing upon the power of the mysterious space above the Gray Fog... I wonder if the symbol corresponding to the " Marauder's " path will work... Even if it does, I don't know, unless I can pull a Marauder into the Gray Fog and make the patterns appear behind the corresponding high-backed chair... While pondering the details, Klein suddenly had an idea:
In that case, perhaps we could try the symbolic meaning behind the " The Fool's " chair!
A unique symbol composed of half a " Pupil-less Eye " representing Concealment and half a " Line of Distortion " symbolizing change!
"I don't know if it will work... Divination can't be done by elimination, but I can predict whether the attempt will go smoothly. And even if it fails, it shouldn't be a big problem. Anyway, I'm praying for myself. Even if the materials are damaged in the experiment, they will just enter the Gray Fog and won't be lost..." Thinking of this, Klein suddenly became excited and couldn't help but get out of bed, ready to do the "experiment" tonight!
The material " Worm of Time " was left behind by the Demigod " Marauder " of Amon's rank. Although he was dead, his essence and level remained. The talismans made from it, even if hindered by various issues and not reaching the Angel level, would not be too far off. They belong to the pinnacle of Saint level power. If Klein could succeed, it would be like having an extra trump card. In a critical moment, it might even give him an extra life. How could he not be excited and looking forward to it!
I can only manipulate a small portion of the power of that mysterious space above the Gray Fog. The level of the " Worm of Time " talisman will probably drop a bit, but no matter what, it will definitely be stronger than the " Ninth Law " that Amyrius gave me... If I use the " Myrmidon's Aura " to create a high-level talisman for the Devil Realm, it should be about the same as the Ninth Law. Unfortunately, I dare not pray to the " Dark Side of the Universe "... Klein, wearing pajamas and barefoot, took four steps backward on the soft, thick carpet, chanted an incantation, and entered the Gray Fog.
After taking his seat at the head of the long bronze table, in the position of " The Fool," he conjured a dark red, round-bellied fountain pen and a yellowish-brown parchment, and wrote down the corresponding Divination phrases:
"My upcoming talisman-making will go smoothly."
Klein took the pendulum from his sleeve, held it in his left hand, and began to Cogitation.
After repeating the Divination statement seven times, he opened his eyes and looked ahead. He saw the citrine pendant rotating clockwise, slowly but normally.
This means things will go smoothly... but the question is, will it successfully prove that the symbol is useful, or will it successfully prove that it is not? Experienced Seer Klein tries to interpret the revelation, but cannot get a definite answer.
He had no choice but to experiment, because otherwise he couldn't rule out Error.
Immediately afterwards, Klein wrote down a new Divination statement:
"The assassination attempt on Mr. X this Friday is dangerous."
This time, the citrine pendant still rotates clockwise, but faster and with a greater amplitude.
There is considerable danger, but it hasn't reached the point of involving Demigod, let alone the Angel King... If it truly involves beings of that level, He would certainly be able to detect my Divination and take countermeasures... It seems that " Angel of Fate " Ouroboros will soon be lured out of Backlund... This means that the danger itself is more concentrated on Mr. X and his subordinates, which is within my capabilities... As long as I don't Error, the chances are high... Klein made his judgment, put down his pen and paper, and returned to the real world.
As a occult expert who frequently creates talismans, he had no shortage of common materials. He immediately took out a candle, lit it on his desk, and then, by the light of Twilight, set up a simple altar. He then used a carving knife to draw the composite symbol representing " The Fool " on the front of a thin silver sheet.
Since Klein himself didn't know which numerology or magical symbol " The Fool " corresponded to, he could only keep both sides consistent. According to the Book of Charms he had read, this also met the requirements of mysticism, but the power would be reduced and the probability of failure would be increased, because the being you pray to might easily think that you were not devout or respectful enough. Of course, this was no problem for Klein; he wouldn't despise himself.
After completing the initial engraving, Klein found a small metal bottle and used his Spirituality power to guide the mercury inside, filling it into the patterns on the thin silver sheet.
This time, he only completed the frontal part for the time being, then summoned himself, responded to himself, and brought the small worm with 12 transparent rings back to the room, placing it on a thin silver plate.
Having done all this, Klein adjusted the altar, took two steps back, and spoke in Ancient Hermes:
" The Fool That Doesn't Belong to This Era..."
He followed the procedure, completed the corresponding steps, then took four steps backward to enter the Gray Fog, where he received the " Black Emperor " card. With his own Spirituality, he activated a small amount of power in the mysterious space above the Gray Fog, responding to the prayer.
As the surging power entered the aura, Klein returned to the real world without hesitation, only to find the altar had become deep and dark, as if hiding countless secrets, while the silver sheet had floated up, in a semi-fused state with the corpse of the " Worm of Time ".
Klein took two steps forward, flipped the silver sheet over, and filled the symbolic patterns on its back with mercury.
One by one, the lines lit up, radiating a hazy gray light.
Klein quickly withdrew his hand, watching as the light grew increasingly intense, enveloping the silver sheet and the corpse of the " Worm of Time " within it.
Suddenly, the deep, dark atmosphere of the altar began to Distortion, and the entire space seemed to become abnormal.
This change was fleeting. A talisman covered with strange patterns slowly fell onto the surface of the desk. It was translucent and deep black, like a small card made of special crystal, or perhaps the eye of some being watching over the world.
It worked! It really worked! Klein was overjoyed and quickly stepped forward to pick up the talisman. He felt it was icy cold to the touch, as if he were touching snowflakes.
Regardless of the final effect of the talisman, its formation signifies success!
Klein has obtained another high-level Demigod- grade talisman!
He busied himself for a while longer, then brought the finished product above the Gray Fog, using the technique of " Dream Divination " to roughly understand its function:
This black crystal card-like talisman has a simple yet powerful effect: Stealing someone else's Fate. More accurately, Grafting Fate onto oneself, Grafting the target's Fate for a period of time.
In the simplest case, when an enemy is about to kill me, I use this talisman to Stealing his Fate to live and Grafting my impending Fate onto him. Then, despite his success, he'll be the one who dies... This fits the typical characteristics of the " Marauder's " path, but is even more sinister and terrifying... It's like stealing Fate itself, starting with money... If the " Worm of Time " is alive, and I can fully manipulate the power of the mysterious space above the Gray Fog, then this talisman might even point to the realm of time... Klein's thoughts wandered as he felt a chill of fear.
Without the Gray Fog's obstruction and "disinfection," and without the slight assistance of this mysterious space's power, he would have been utterly helpless against any of the " Worm of Time "!
Phew, now it's mine... I can't call it " Worm of Time " anymore, I'll call it " Fate Siphon "... Klein got busy again, bringing the " Fate Siphon " talisman back to the real world.
After cleaning up the remnants of the ritual, he solemnly placed the high-grade talisman into an iron cigarette case, alongside the Azik Copper Whistle and the Senor Gold Coin, and sealed and separated it with Wall of Spirituality.
Feeling relaxed, Klein was no longer sleepy. He quickly pulled the curtains open a crack, letting the crimson Moonlight stream in, illuminating the room with peace and tranquility.
While admiring the scenery, he suddenly saw a figure emerge from Congressman Macht's house and move towards him along the shadows.
This was Hibbert Macht, who once again reached the sewer entrance, removed the manhole cover, climbed down, and, not forgetting, restored it.
Why does she always run into the sewers? It can't be that she's going to other areas to Acting of a superhero in a mysterious world. After all, each trip is less than an hour long, and unless there's extremely strong intelligence support, it's hard to accomplish anything. Besides, it's easy for her to be caught by the official organization... Combining the images shown by the " Magic Mirror " Arrodes, it seems more like she's looking for something... Hmm, constantly exploring the depths of the sewers like this could easily lead to danger... Klein stood behind the gap in the curtains, watching the various things he discovered in the quiet night.
He didn't try to warn Hibbert or directly use a " Wraith " to possess her and make her understand the dangers of the supernatural world. This was because he didn't know much about Hibbert mystical realm, and his judgment, which was based on a strong sense of superiority, was subjective and he couldn't be sure for the time being. Secondly, he didn't know why Hazel had extraordinary abilities and magical items. Offering a friendly reminder to repay her for her previous good deed would easily attract unnecessary attention and even trouble.
After enjoying the peace and quiet of the night, Klein went back into bed and slept soundly until dawn.
Before Richardson entered, he transformed into Gehrman Sparrow and prayed to the " The Fool ":
"... I can accept this task, but regardless of success or failure, I want your bracelet, a stone, and the right to use that magic book for a period of time."
"If we succeed, all the spoils are mine; you can only take the target's head."
"If necessary, you will also need to provide assistance."
