Senor, in his Wraith form, passed through the thick soil and rocks under Kleins control, arriving beside Sharron. He saw a damaged armrest which had asymmetrical patterns buried there, looking rather similar, but also different from the splinters they discovered moments ago.
The armrest wasnt pure black in color. Their patterns exuded a dark red color, as though it was an intersection of iron and blood.
Recalling the scene from his nightmare, Klein determined that this wasnt the high-back chair that the entity suspected to be Medici sat on.
This was the second chair!
The room that sealed the evil spirit had at least two high-back chairs!
Klein and Sharron didnt say a word as they circled around in different directions to search for other clues.
Before long, they discovered the evidence of a third high-back chair!
It was the leg of a chair, mainly dark red in color with pure black patterns. It was completely different from the other two kinds of splinters.
Perhaps its a problem caused by the asymmetrical trait of the Fourth Epoch... Klein knew Sharrons style, volunteering to speak and saying something even he couldnt believe.
In the nightmare that resulted from the evil spirits influence, the colors of the high-back chairs were, at the very least, uniform!
Sharron shook her head slightly.
Three has more of a ritualistic feel.
She was implying that the innocent victims of Blood Emperor Alista Tudor werent just one person back then. Perhaps a ritual had been held in the room that sealed the evil spirit.
Klein was taken aback by what he heard as a scene flashed through his mind.
In a spacious and dark room, three high-back chairs of different styles were placed around a particular point in the center. And sitting on each chair was a breathless humanoid creature with a drooping head. Among them included Red Angel Medici.
The scene became clearer as Klein instantly connected two additional matters together.
The main ingredients of the Sequence 0 Black Emperors potion is the Uniqueness and two Sequence 1 Beyonder characteristics (excluding ones own Beyonder characteristic);
Blood Emperor Alista Tudor had apparently forcefully jumped from the Black Emperor pathways Sequence 1 Prince of Disorder to the Red Priest Sequence 0, which wasnt a neighboring pathway. As a result, he became a half-crazy true god!
As his thoughts whirred, Klein quickly had a theory.
This room had once held a Sequence 0 advancement ritual needed for a true god!
Of course, according to the complicated ritual needed by a Black Emperor, this was only part of the requirement. The pathway that represented war had clearly required the entire continent to be in chaos and at war to match in scale.
And Blood Emperor Alista Tudor doesnt have the corresponding Sequence 1 Beyonder characteristic, so his Red Priest potion requires three Sequence 1 angels or Sealed Artifacts to provide Him with the Beyonder characteristics. There happens to be three high-back chairs here!
Yes, the evil spirit suspected to be Red Angel Medici said that to help it escape its seal, one should find direct descendants of the Sauron, Einhorn, and Medici family, and then extract 10 ml of blood and mix them with holy water... Sauron and Einhorn wield the Hunter pathway and are also angel families of the Red Priest Beyonder pathway. Theyve existed since the Fourth Epoch to this day. One of them has already waned, only capable of controlling the spy network and a military faction in Intis, while the other remains the royal family of Feysac... Thoughts flashed through Kleins mind as he had a new belief regarding what had happened in the room, as well as the true identity of the evil spirit.
On the other two high-back chairs sat the ancestors of the Sauron and Einhorn families, Sequence 1 angels!
Together with War Angel Medici, who very likely possessed the pathways Uniqueness, all the main ingredients of the Red Priest potion were gathered!
And that evil spirit is highly likely to not be the pure Red Angel Medici. It might include the remnant psyche and hatred of the Sauron and Einhorn familys ancestors!
Man, this place once sacrificed three Sequence 1 angels! Before They died, their curses and the ritual itself left effects, making this room become abnormally horrifying, as well as sealing it? Thankfully I reported this to the Churches ahead of time to let them deal with it. Otherwise, we might have died here if we relied on ourselves. It would be the same even if Miss Sharron and I advanced to Sequence 4. We would become food for the evil spirit... Klein felt a sense of fear and joy.
Meanwhile, he began to understand the reason why the Red Priest card had landed in the hands of the evil spirit. After all, the former highest-ranking members of a pathway were buried here in this underground ruin, the convergence of Beyonder characteristics would naturally lure Beyonders of the same pathway over without any deviations.
Furthermore, as Roselle once saidwhatever separates will definitely converge, and whatever converges will definitely separateafter Blood Emperor Alista Tudor perished, the true god characteristic he possessed, which is the Sequence 0 characteristic, will likely split into four pieces.
One is the Uniqueness, an abstract item or concept, while the remaining three are three sets of Sequence 1 Beyonder characteristics. If it wasnt because of that, the corresponding Beyonder pathway wouldnt have anymore Sequence 1s when someone becomes a god...
Could one or two of these Sequence 1 Beyonder characteristics be attracted, entering the sealed room? This is likely one of the reasons why the Card of Blasphemy was lured over! The more Klein thought, the more he felt that he had previously underestimated the evil spirit.
They live up to being angels who advanced from Conspirers... Standing under the tree, Klein controlled Senor to say, Perhaps it really is a ritual.
Its related to Blood Emperor Alista Tudor. The scale and level involved must be great.
Sharron added after silently listening, Sauron, Einhorn, Medici...
Miss Sharron is also suspecting if the three high-back chairs once belonged to different angels from the details requested by the evil spirit... Klein thought for a moment, and he divulged something through Senor.
Blood Emperor Alista Tudor is likely a true god from the Hunter pathway; the Card of Blasphemy is represented by the Red Priest.
Sharron remained silent for a few seconds as though she came to a realization regarding certain matters as she said, That card is gone.
She was referring to the Red Priest card which the evil spirit had formerly shown them.
Perhaps that evil spirit had long escaped before the Nighthawks and Machinery Hivemind destroyed this place. Klein shared his theory. And it had taken away all the Beyonder characteristics and that Red Priest card.
Sharron silently surveyed the area and said, Its very crafty. It wouldnt leave behind any obvious clues.
Thats right. The Beyonder characteristics outside the sealed room are clearly not at Sequence 4. To an evil spirit who was once a King of Angels, they dont have any allure. Likewise for the Red Priest card... It can be understood that it took away the things in the room, but why didnt it leave anything? Its like telling others something like Haha, Ive fooled you. Ive already successfully escaped. Catch me if you can... Wait, perhaps thats exactly what it wishes to convey! As Klein thought, he suddenly found it amusing as he made Senor speak.
No, being crafty doesnt necessarily equate to not leaving clues.
The Sequence 8 of the Hunter pathway is Provoker.
At that moment, the Red Angel that surfaced in his mind had the picture of Anderson Hood over it.
Sharron listened silently as she gaped her mouth slightly, but she didnt say a word.
Similarly, Klein was speechless. He felt that the Beyonders of the Hunter pathway truly had a crystal clear style.
In comparison, the red-haired Helene didnt appear anything like someone from the Sauron family.
However, she was rather talented at provoking Vice Admiral Ailment... Yes, back then, the Sauron family members also infuriated Roselle terribly... Klein silently exhaled as he lampooned.
The silent mood was soon broken by Klein. Senor looked around and said a joke, Perhaps thats the reason why they were captured and brought here.
Who was helping Alista Tudor? Sharrons translucent figure asked, but she didnt seem to look forward to the answer.
Perhaps its the six deities... Klein recalled the six deity statues in the hall.
However, he had second thoughts.
However, the seven deities supported the Trunsoest Empire. The Sauron and Einhorn families were powerful aristocrats of the empire.
Of course, it cannot be ruled out that they first supported Tudor, and later had a falling out after He went mad.
If its not the six deities, does it mean that there are other deities supporting Alista Tudor? Who would it be? Klein thought in silence.
Sharron didnt stay any longer as she floated up to the surface, returning to the tree.
Klein stored away Senors Wraith, allowing it to enter the gold coin inside the iron cigar case. Then, he asked in passing, Actually, Ive always been curious. Where do the powers of pure evil spirits and wraiths who do not have Beyonder characteristics come from?
The spirit world, Sharron answered simply.
The conservation of Beyonder characteristics, but the source of Beyonder powers isnt necessarily the same? Yes, perhaps the spirit world itself is the product of some Beyonder characteristics... Klein nodded and looked at the soil beneath his feet.
Ill continue investigating the whereabouts of the evil spirit. Ill inform you if theres anything.
He planned on asking Arrodes later.
With that said, he took out a pen and paper, scribbled down the method to summoning his messenger, and handed it over.
You can write to me if theres anything.
Sharron received the piece of paper and seriously looked at it.
Ill be in the Bravehearts Bar.
Letters can be mailed to 126 Garde Street, Hillston Borough. Address it to Maam Maryam.
Alright. Klein stuffed his pen into his pocket. In front of Sharron, he used a ritualistic dagger to create a wall of spirituality and resealed the iron cigar case.
Following that, he crossed the street to stop a carriage like a gentleman, sending Sharron all the way back to the Backlund bridge area.
After doing this, he returned to the high-end hotel in Hillston Borough. Midway, he changed his appearance and switched carriages.
Bayam. Inside the Seaweed Bar.
Danitz, who had spent some time drifting at sea, once again stepped back into the City of Generosity. He planned on helping the Resistance handle some matters.
He pressed down on his cap, sat at the corner of the bar counter, and prepared to first hear about the recent news. He didnt wish to become a bounty reward due to untimely or inaccurate intelligence.
At this moment, he heard an adventurer beside him say to his companion, Hey, do you think Gehrman Sparrow will get someone to claim Admiral of Bloods bounty on his behalf?
Ah? Danitz subconsciously looked up, looking at the speaker with a blank, confused look.
