After expressing his gratitude, Klein immediately gave up his control over Hvin Rambis, making it impossible for him to maintain his puppet state.
Then, the demigod who was the "audience" fell to the ground and became a dead body.
Arianna glanced down, the darkness in her eyes growing deeper.
Hvin Rambis's body was instantly like a pencil drawing, being erased inch by inch by the eraser, leaving only the ice-blue metal cylinder.
Then, a little bit of brilliance seeped out from the void and quickly gathered together to form a strange mass.
It is the size of a fist and looks like a heart, but its surface is covered with grayish-white wrinkles, like an alternative brain. On each wrinkle, countless symbols and strange patterns extend in layers, penetrating into the surrounding environment, connecting to a world that is difficult for extraordinary people to see from other paths.
This is an extraordinary characteristic left by the "Manipulator".
Ms. Arianna quickly extracted Hvin Rambis's extraordinary characteristics through the process of concealment and de-concealment... Klein was stunned for a second before he realized something.
At this time, Arianna said calmly:
"The spiritual imprints inside have all been cleared."
"Thank you, Ms. Arianna." Klein was not surprised at all and saluted as if he had been prepared.
He gave up the secret doll so decisively because he foresaw that something similar would happen next.
In fact, his original plan was to bring Hvin Rambis above the gray fog in the form of a secret puppet, and let him hold the "Darkless Cross" to gradually extract extraordinary characteristics such as "Manipulator", "Dream Walker", and "Hypnotist". In this way, not only would Miss "Justice" no longer have to worry about where to buy materials before becoming a demigod, but even her extraordinary dog would have a chance to be upgraded. Audrey had mentioned this to Dwayne Dantès before, saying that Susie's contribution to her escape from Hvin Rambis's control was second only to that of Susie.
But then Klein considered that he must not bring Hvin Rambis to this secret world above the gray fog. Under Arianna's gaze, that would directly expose the fact that he was The Fool. Once he left here, no matter where he was "teleported" to, he might be discovered by Adam because of Hvin Rambis's existence.
In this case, giving up the secret doll in front of Arianna is undoubtedly a better choice. At least this angel is very likely to help Klein remove the mental imprint within the Beyonder characteristic.
This did not affect Klein's original plan. He could just find some materials and turn Hvin Rambis's Beyonder characteristics into a problematic potion, then pour it on an ordinary object and let it mutate by absorbing the potion.
Once you get such a sealed object, and then tie the "No Dark Cross" to it, and grasp the timing well, you can gradually release the corresponding extraordinary characteristics.
As for the mental pollution generated during the process, don’t worry, “No Dark Cross” can also purify it!
Watching Klein pick up Hvin Rambis's Beyonder Characteristics, but unable to put it into the iron cigarette box, he had to stuff it into his pocket. Arianna cast her eyes towards the ice-blue metal cylinder and spoke at a moderate pace:
"It comes from the starry sky. You'd better not use it, and try not to even carry it with you. Otherwise, it will be cast upon you, causing you to be polluted and deformed without your knowledge."
"From the starry sky?" Klein felt this description was strangely familiar.
Soon, he remembered the familiar source:
This is based on the prophecy of the end of the world by the "Yellow Light" Venitan recorded in the Abraham family's "Spiritual World Vision":
"Look down from the starry sky, the earth will be torn apart, and everything in the world will cease to exist."
Doomsday... Is the origin of this seal related to the source of doomsday? What does the starry sky represent here? What is its relationship with the astral world? A series of questions formed in Klein's mind, making his expression more solemn.
Facing his question, Arianna nodded slightly and said:
"Yes, the starry sky."
"Is it the starry sky above our heads?" Klein raised his finger and pointed at the dark night sky with a huge red moon inlaid on it.
"Yes." Arianna answered affirmatively but did not explain further.
Klein thought for a moment and asked again:
"There are many malicious beings out there, trying to destroy this world?"
Arianna's eyes swept across his face, finally stopping at his eyes:
“I can’t give you an answer.
"For some things, the more you know, the easier it is to be 'infected', from body to soul. When you become an angel, you can explore the specific answers."
The more you know, the easier it is to be "infected"... Klein felt a chill on his back for the first time in a long time.
——Regarding what Sealed Objects Hvin Rambis possessed, he did not ask the "Magic Mirror" Arrodes beforehand, fearing that he would leave traces and be discovered by Adam.
When facing such an angel king, it is never too cautious!
Seeing that Arianna would not reveal anything more, Klein pointed at the ice-blue metal cylinder and said:
“What should we do with this item?”
The description given by the leader of the ascetics on the other side made him hesitate to bring the sealed object above the gray fog for "disinfection".
Arianna said calmly:
"My suggestion is to offer it to the goddess, and combine it with your previous contributions to exchange for what you want."
Klein nodded slightly:
"I see."
After he expressed his gratitude again, Arianna's figure was quickly wiped out and disappeared into the abnormally large dark garden of the Red Moon.
But this secret world did not collapse.
Klein watched silently for a few seconds, then thoughtfully took out the candles and other ritual items he carried with him, quickly set up an altar, and offered the ice-blue metal cylinder to the "Goddess of Night."
At the end of the ceremony, in the howling wind, the ashes of the burning herbs and the surrounding soil rose up at the same time and fell onto the empty space on the altar.
These ashes and soil connected to each other, forming one word after another:
“Sequence 3, Ancient Scholar;
“Main materials: a pair of eyes from the Hound of Fulgrim (also known as the Keeper of Sefirah Castle), and a flocculent heart from the Mist Wolf;
"Supplementary materials: 100 ml of Fulgrim's Dog's blood, 30 grams of the White Frost Crystals of the Mist Wolf, and a large amount of authentic ancient historical records...
"Ascension Ceremony: Completely detach from reality for at least three hundred years, and take a potion after you have become history and no longer belong to the present era."
This... Klein couldn't help but blink, suspecting that he had read the description wrongly.
The description of not belonging to the current era made him think of one of his own honorific names:
"A fool who does not belong to this era!"
I have been suspended on that strange light gate for more than three hundred years... In a sense, have I completed the ritual and am only waiting to take the potion? The mysterious space above the gray fog is really closely related to the "Fortune Teller" path... Could it be derived from "uniqueness"? Klein was both happy and solemn for a moment, because he didn't know what price was marked on such a "gift".
Phew, when it comes to becoming an angel, I really want to jump to the adjacent path and not follow the planned path... For other "weird wizards", the biggest difficulty of this promotion ceremony should be how to survive for three hundred years. After all, this is not a path known for its long life... Also, being out of touch with reality for three hundred years can easily drive people crazy. For a "weird wizard" who is already on the verge of split personality, the danger of going crazy and losing control is not too small... Klein looked at the "Ancient Scholar" potion formula, and his mind was filled with thoughts that were difficult to contain.
After an unknown amount of time, he ended the ceremony and put away the corresponding items.
As he walked out of the garden, the huge red moon and the dark night faded and disappeared inch by inch.
Then he saw the autumn flowers, the sunshine shining on them, and the fair-haired girl waiting between the house and the garden.
Audrey's eyes showed joy, and the corners of her mouth curled up unconsciously.
Klein nodded to her, and his figure was suddenly enveloped by red flames.
There were also flames rising into the sky in other parts of the garden, but they were not as obvious.
When the flames faded, Gehrman Sparrow was no longer visible, and the remaining red moon and night also completely disappeared.
Audrey was lost in thought for a few seconds, then looked away thoughtfully and entered Viscount Glint's mansion.
When she left with Susie and the servants in a carriage and returned to her home, she had the chance to be alone and, as expected, received an invitation from the "world" to "meet".
…………
Above the gray fog, inside the palace.
Audrey Justice looked at Gehrman Sparrow, the World, and asked without much urgency:
"What is Hvin Rambis's real purpose?"
She knew from Gehrman Sparrow's calm and composed behavior that Hvin Rambis had been dealt with.
Klein answered calmly:
"One is to investigate whether there is someone behind Xio and Fors' actions. The second is to use hints to prevent you from becoming an obstacle as the princes show their closeness to Earl Hall's family. This is essentially a division of the three major churches."
Audrey had already discussed this with Mr. World, so there was no need to seek additional explanations. She then asked:
"Then why would the demigod Hvin Rambis come to see me personally?"
Klein smiled and said:
"If you want to deceive the guards assigned by Earl Hall and hypnotize a 'hypnotist' without causing any extra noise, a Sequence 5 may not be able to do it. Therefore, it is most appropriate to directly let a demigod come forward. And you know Hvin Rambis and have had contact with him, so you are least wary of him."
"To be honest, if you hadn't been so careful and hadn't had Susie as your undetected helper, the whole thing would have gone on smoothly without you or me noticing until next Monday."
Audrey Justice did not wear a thick mask, and said with a half smile and half sigh with a slightly complicated emotion:
“I’ve become so powerful…”
It takes a demigod to deal with it with great confidence.
"It's even more amazing than I thought. You actually hypnotized a demigod, a demigod who is good at hypnosis." Klein praised with a smile.
Audrey unconsciously pursed her lips and smiled slightly:
"That was mainly due to the 'Luck Stealer' spell you gave me. Hmm, my 'Hypnotist' potion seems to have been completely digested because of it..."
