Chapter 925 Choosing “Clothes”

Above the endless grayish-white fog, in the magnificent ancient hall .

Klein didn’t rush to do a divination . He first answered The Hanged Man Alger’s sacrificial ritual and got the cane made from the Ocean Songster Beyonder characteristics to appear in front of him .

Word of the Sea… This name, when transliterated to Chinese, does bring back memories . I’ll just leave it at that… It’s basically a weaker version of Sea God Scepter . It doesn’t have demigod-level powers like Lightning Storm or Tsunami either… There are quite a number of negative effects… As Klein recalled The Hanged Man’s descriptions, he stroked the silver inlaid black cane .

Perhaps the mysterious space above the gray fog had naturally suppressed it, causing this Beyonder cane to not express its living characteristic . It silently lay there like it was the most common and ordinary piece of wood .

Klein nodded slightly and muttered silently to himself, Mystical item with living characteristics are really rather troublesome . But from a different angle, it means that they can be communicated with . The Die of Probability back then was quite a nasty fellow, but didn’t it also become obedient after getting schooled?

Besides, I can always have my servants hold it most of the time . Yes, Winner Enzo will be most suitable . Although he already has zero passive luck, he is still accumulating luck constantly to make preparations for that critical moment . Releasing a little bit of it wouldn’t affect anything . This way, be it being tripped, thrown, or beaten, he would be able to smoothly avoid it and not garner the attention of others .

On careful thought, the cane’s pranks aren’t completely useless . If I were to meet other Marionettists, Spirit World Plunderers, or Bizarro Banes and lose my initiative and end up being initially controlled, my thoughts and actions would turn sluggish . It would be quite difficult to extricate myself from that state by myself . At this moment, if an uncontrollable cane were to suddenly hit me or trip me to the ground, wouldn’t I be successfully escaping from my predicament?

Sigh, if a mystical item’s negative effects are used well, they can be quite a boon…

Of course, in normal combat, such pranks can bring about unnecessary dangers . How it should be balanced or avoided will need repeated trial and error .

As for the negative effects of easily being struck by lightning on a stormy day, Klein didn’t mind . Firstly, unless he was in a special region, stormy weather wasn’t common to begin with . It wasn’t something that needed to be taken into consideration most of the time . Secondly, as a Seer, divining the day’s weather before heading out was a common act . Finally, if he couldn’t avoid sudden flash storms, Klein could always give the cane to Enzo . This way, even if the lightning were to strike the Winner, it would even up being attracted by a nearby lightning rod .

Let’s just hope I’m not that lightning rod… Klein gave a self-deprecating laugh as he considered the most worrisome negative effect .

It would belt out Beyonder singing every six hours!

This was indiscriminate, and it was basically a huge AOE[1] attack!

After some thought, Klein decided to communicate with the Word of Sea cane to reduce the frequency at which it sang, or to give prior warning before it sang .

I had breakfast early today . It’s almost time for Creeping Hunger to start its howling… In thought, Klein removed the human-skinned glove from his left palm and threw it at an empty spot in front of the junk pile .

Right on the heels of that, he lifted the silver inlaid black cane and threw it over . Then, he stirred some of the power of the mysterious space above the gray fog, creating a barrier that isolated all sound and images . He made Creeping Hunger and Word of the Sea spend time alone .

After doing all of this, Klein rubbed his palms and conjured a pen and paper . He wrote down a divination statement: “My scouting of Calderón City’s periphery today is dangerous . ”

After putting down the dark red fountain pen, Klein removed the spirit pendulum from his left wrist . He let the topaz hang down over the paper in close proximity with it .

After chanting seven times in his mind, he opened his eyes and saw the topaz standing still and not spinning

This meant that the divination had failed .

Calderón City’s actual situation is a secret to the entire spirit world, and divination lacks a starting point… Besides, that was once a divine kingdom of an ancient goddess . There’s a mutated resurrection setup left over there . It can similarly interfere with divination… Klein rolled up his spirit pendulum and deliberated in thought . I can only trust what Red Light said . The danger around Calderón City’s periphery isn’t that great… Besides, I still have marionettes . I can let them go first and confirm if that place screens the gray fog . If it can, I’ll give up . If it doesn’t, I’ll enter myself .

Klein quickly came to a decision . Without any hesitation, he waved his hand to remove the barrier he had previously created .

Then, he saw the Creeping Hunger which had retreated to the side of the junk pile . It was propping itself up with three fingers while its thumb and pinky were pressing backward on Groselle’s Travels . It looked weak and could hardly stand .

At the same time, there was a mouth in the middle of the palm . It revealed two illusory, white, and eerie teeth that kept gasping for air .

On the other side of the barrier, the silver inlaid black cane was on the ground . It twitched from time to time as its tip kept oozing with blue transparent water bubbles .

“Very good, silence at last…” Upon seeing this scene, Klein muttered in gratification .

Just as he said that, the Word of the Sea suddenly stood up . And as though it was being held, it “hopped” towards Klein, circling about The Fool’s seat and dodged elsewhere . Creeping Hunger used all its five fingers as legs as it chased after the cane with great difficulty . Midway, it collapsed to the ground .

Klein watched speechless before letting out a sigh .

“After fusing with Mr . A, Creeping Hunger seems to have a living characteristic, but this level of intelligence is way too low . It clearly Grazed a Wind-blessed and is capable of Short-distance Flight; yet, it still uses its fingers as legs to chase…”

After saying that, he turned his head towards the Word of the Sea cane which was hiding beside him .

“Aren’t you a Sequence 5 of the Sailor pathway? What kind of mystical item are you if you can only hop on one leg?

“Seriously, are such low-level living characteristics equivalent to babies? No, a particular baby is way smarter than all of you!”

Klein reprimanded each of them and sighed as he said in amusement, “It’s not like I’m a devil…”

Just as he said that, the glove and cane who were still stirring froze at the same moment . They didn’t dare make a sound .

Klein’s subsequent words were left in his throat . All he could do was reach out to pick up Word of the Sea and kindly and sincerely speak to it .

After a friendly and frank negotiation, this silver inlaid black cane used high frequency swaying to gesture that it would reduce its singing to a minimum . If it really couldn’t hold back, it would inform its owner . The exact manner included, but was not limited to, trembling slightly or automatically moving up a few centimeters .

At the same time, it raised a request via singing:

Never use the hand wearing Creeping Hunger to hold it!

Of course, if its master insisted on doing so, it didn’t object to it and was happy to accept it .

Better than Creeping Hunger . It’s not too stubborn… Klein beckoned for Creeping Hunger and wore it on his left palm .

Taking a glance at the Door of Summoning which had been produced from the ritual, Klein began considering the items to bring on his scouting of Calderón City .

Needless to say, the two marionettes were going . They could be used as bait, to scout the path ahead, be used as test subjects, and verify any traps . They allowed a Marionettist to not need to undergo too many dangerous actions, so they were definitely going .

They would be wearing Enzo’s Flower of Blood ring and Ludwell’s Harris Sword . They were all standard equipment . In addition, Klein decided to get Enzo to carry the Word of the Sea .

As for himself, Klein planned on heading there as a Spirit Body . Once anything was amiss, he would immediately end the summoning and return above the gray fog . This way, what “clothes” he matched was something worth considering .

Azik’s copper whistle? No, that is related to Death, and Calderón City belongs to ancient Death… There’s a small possibility that this might create a terrifying anomaly, causing the danger in the core region to automatically come out .

Black Emperor card or the Tyrant card? Hmm, I’ll be moving about the spirit world . The two marionettes are basically dead . I’m not afraid that they have their blood extracted . Heh heh, Ludwell is a half-human, half-dead entity . He doesn’t have blood to speak of . The value of Enzo’s blood only makes him appear human most of the time . And this could be recovered via using Flower of Blood . It also means that I can bring the Sea God Scepter to Calderón City!

It’s a place that’s deep in the spirit world . It’s far from the Rorsted Archipelago, so I don’t have to worry about being affected by the believers’ prayers . The only problem is that I’ll become irascible and short-tempered . It will be easy for me to become hot-headed… This is taboo when it comes to exploring . However, this is easily resolved . I’ll leave it with Enzo or Ludwell . Besides, the Tyrant card’s level is very high . It can produce a suppression effect to a certain degree on the Sea God Scepter, preventing me from easily flaring up .

With the combination of the Tyrant card and the Sea God Scepter, I’m equivalent to half a Sequence 4 . This can then most effectively reduce the risk I face . In the future, even if I were to enter with Miss Sharron, I can also equip myself in such a manner . I’ll get her to maintain her state as a wraith—no, an evil spirit state to circumvent all problems!

I don’t have to worry about the law of convergence . If Calderón City can screen the gray fog, I’ll return after taking a look from the outside . No one will lock onto me or pursue me . After all, the spirit world isn’t the home ground of the Sailor pathway . If Calderón City can’t screen the gray fog, and a High-Sequence Beyonder of the Church of Storms really does get drawn there, I can end up using him… Amidst his thoughts, Klein suddenly reached out his hand, attracting the Tyrant card to fall into his palm .

Immediately after that, he fused the Card of Blasphemy into his Soul Body .

Suddenly, extreme might and terrifying auras emanated from The Fool’s location . A heavy papal tiara silently appeared on Klein’s head as his clothes turned into a religious robe .

The latter was similar in dressing as a pope from Saint Seiya: Knights of the Zodiac which he had seen in his previous life . However, the colors were dark blue that was almost black .

As howling winds sounded, the pontiff robe flared up suddenly as Klein raised his right hand and suspended himself in midair before catching the white bone scepter that flew towards him .

At the tip of the scepter, the gems emitted either blinding silver or blue light like bolts of lightning that circled around the Tyrant .

With a thud, the Word of the Sea cane prostrated to the ground, right beside Klein who was wielding the scepter and dressed like a pontiff .
