Chapter 147 Dual Purpose



After hearing Maric's words, Klein picked up the paper with the spell to summon Arrodes, shook it casually, suppressed his smile, and said seriously:

"Tell me the detailed process of mummifying the pharaohs in the ancient Highland Kingdom."

As he spoke, the paper crackled, was stained with red flames, and turned into tiny bits of flying ash that floated down.

Maric glanced at Sharon and answered thoughtfully:

"The first step is to leave it for three to five days, using certain auxiliary means to allow the Beyonder characteristics to naturally precipitate, without combining with any part of the Pharaoh's body to form a seal;

"The second step is to hold a 'cleansing ceremony', place the body on the altar, and pray to the 'bound god', hoping that half of the deceased's spirit will remain in the body. This will not affect the return of the son of god, but also allow the mummy to maintain its spirituality for a long time.

“The third step is to use extraordinary abilities and real-world technology to remove the brain, internal organs, and body fluids from the corpse, leaving only the heart;

"The fourth step is to fill the body with spiritual spices and medicines, and perform a comprehensive dehydration process...

“The fifth step is to refill the body with spices and medicines, make some ritual arrangements on the surface of the body, wrap it with linen bandages, and place it in the coffin.

"Step 6. The removed internal organs are processed in a similar way to Step 4 and placed in the four corners of the coffin as materials for the ritual. The same goes for the brain and body fluids. The former is pounded into a slurry and mixed with the latter. It circulates in the reserved channels inside the coffin, imitating the state of the deceased before his death... This can absorb spiritual energy from the surroundings, so that even if the pharaoh's mummy has been buried for thousands of years, it is still a very spiritual material and can be used to make a very powerful zombie..."

It sounds like it has nothing to do with improving that ability. I don't know how the pharmacist can turn decay into magic. Hmm, it is similar to the Egyptian mummification process on Earth, but also different. It has a stronger sense of mysticism... Klein listened attentively and quickly analyzed whether there was anything in it that could become part of the plan.

No matter what, the mummy of Tutankhamun II is something of great research value. No one is willing to destroy it unless there is no other way... Klein pondered for a while, then turned to look at Sharon, who was sitting on the high stool again, and asked with a serious expression:

"What's the maximum effective distance of your 'Mirror Flash'?"

Sharon sat upright and answered without pause:

"300 meters."

This is quite far! It is much more powerful than my "Flame Jump". However, this is also normal. After all, the main feature of the "ghost" is that it comes and goes without a trace, and "Flame Jump" is just a means of performing "magic"... Well, this is not bad, it can be used... Klein couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Although he once had a "ghost" secret doll, he was not clear about the limit of "mirror flash", because even if it did not reach the limit, it would be out of his control. Once out of the range, the secret doll would be a dead object and the flash would fail halfway.

Klein asked two or three more questions, and gradually came up with a plan in his mind. He looked at Sharon and Maric respectively, and said in a steady tone:

"We still have the opportunity to take the mummy of Tutankhamun II, which does carry some risk, but it's not a big one.

"Well, the prerequisite is that you have to listen to my arrangements and let me lead this operation. Of course, if you think it is inappropriate, you can interrupt and choose to return at any time. This is your freedom. Just remember to pay me."

In the past, Maric would have refused without a second thought. He and Sharon were both experienced and strong among the mid-sequence Beyonders. How could they possibly listen to the orders of a newcomer who had sought their protection? But during their last collaboration, Sherlock Moriarty's wisdom, adaptability, and strange items impressed Maric so much that he unconsciously placed him on the same level. When the news about Gehrman Sparrow continued to reach Backlund, he was astonished and believed that he should be considered one of the strongest below the high-sequence. In the field of mysticism and Beyonder combat, he was an authority.

Since they are the authority, you should obey them!

He can also "teleport"... Maric recalled Sherlock Moriarty's appearance just now, and inexplicably felt that the other party had strong self-confidence and might really find a chance to succeed.

He turned his head and locked eyes with Sharon.

They both nodded at the same time.

"Okay." Sharon responded, without any hesitation in her blue eyes.

Klein immediately smiled:

"I'll tell you how to do it based on the actual situation."

He just deliberately appeared in the form of "travel" to provide a "secret existence" for obtaining intelligence. In addition to making it easier to explain the problem and understand the situation more accurately, it also aims to establish an image, raise the level, and gain control.

As a "Master of Secret Dolls", even if you don't have any secret dolls at the moment, you still have to manipulate others to complete the predetermined performance!

For Klein, this action was, on the one hand, to help Sharon and Maric, and on the other hand, he hoped to use the grand scene and the "puppet show" he led to further and more quickly digest the potion.

It has to be said that the oppressive experience brought by Amon's appearance in Backlund and the recent contact with the audience made Klein, who happened to have no puppets, more deeply understand the "Puppet Master" rule that he had summarized before: using his own puppets as a guide to manipulate the enemy and perform a puppet show in reality.

His current thoughts are:

Even without a secret puppet, one can manipulate the target object through the design of momentum, language, and scenario or certain coordination, and perform a puppet show in reality.

The "Master of Secret Puppetry" manipulates more than just the "Spirit Thread"!

And what just happened was just Klein's small attempt.

Just like Amon, with just a simple appearance, he seemed to be in charge of many things, making Pales Zoroast and I seem to be waiting for his baton... Klein sighed silently and heard Sharon and Maric respond at the same time:

"good."

…………

At night in Pritz Harbor, there are elegant gas street lamps made of black metal, which emit light and illuminate the roads.

At this time, most of the ships have entered the port, and quietness is the main theme here.

On the top floor of a warehouse, surrounded by many wooden crates, three figures suddenly emerged from the void. They were Sherlock Moriarty in a suit and top hat, Maric in a white shirt and black vest, and Sharon in a black bonnet and court dress.

With the help of "teleportation", they arrived here directly from Backlund, which was quite a distance away from the port where the ship carrying the mummy of Tutankhamun II was scheduled to dock.

Klein pushed forward with his right hand, stepped on the wooden pillar, and jumped lightly onto the crossbar. He quickly reached the wall as if he was walking on flat ground.

There is a large vent here.

He then took out the telescope provided by Miss Sharon and looked at the pier described in the intelligence.

The tops of the buildings there were occupied by soldiers wearing steam backpacks and holding thick-barreled rifles. They patrolled back and forth, guarding the surroundings, ready to shoot at any time at any unauthorized person who dared to approach, just as a warning.

In addition to these, there are several exaggerated mechanical monsters parked around the dock. They are made entirely of metal and are taller than the giants. They have rotating tops, water-cooled machine guns and vertical chimneys. The bottoms are grayish white and many places are covered with rivets, nuts and gears, making them look very rough.

In addition, the machine has a very thick gun barrel in the front and two rows of metal wheels wrapped with rubber tracks at the bottom.

There were obviously people inside them, but Klein couldn't see who it was, so he couldn't confirm whether it was a Beyonder.

Near these steel monsters, on top of the dock, a dark black metal tower more than ten meters high was erected. It had a complex but seemingly unsophisticated pulley system, with steel cables and hooks hanging down.

On the surface, it looked like a military operation of a high level but not too high either... Klein retracted his gaze and threw the telescope to Maric who was approaching, asking him to observe the situation on the scene again.

Before the official operation, they all reached a consensus, which was to try not to use extraordinary abilities and rely on non-mystical creations to spy on the target, so as not to arouse vigilance. After all, there might be demigods lurking in that dock area.

Of course, Klein also adjusted the ability recorded in "Creeping Hunger" to use "Paper Angel" in conjunction with "Tornado" instead of "Lightning Storm".

After Sharon understood the situation at the scene, Klein, who had retreated to the wooden frame on the side, smiled and said, “I’m so happy.

“We have only one purpose today, that is to try only when there is an opportunity. If not, we would rather watch from the sidelines or even leave early.

"Is everything all right?"

"No," Sharon replied calmly, and Maric shook his head to express the same meaning.

Klein nodded and looked at Maric and said:

“How many mirrors did you bring?”

"Nine sides." Maric showed his preparations one by one, then pointed at his eyes and said, "It counts too."

“Okay.” Klein pointed in a direction. “When I ask you to leave, run outside of Pritz Harbor and drop these mirrors along the way.”

Maric opened his mouth, as if he wanted to ask why, but he soon understood Sherlock Moriarty's intention and nodded seriously:

"I will do as you say."

Klein smiled and stretched out his hand, freezing it in mid-air:

“It’s been a pleasure working with you.”

Maric hesitated for a second, then also stretched out his right hand and clapped hands with the other party.

After doing this action, the tension in his heart was inexplicably relieved a lot.

Klein turned to look at Miss Sharon, took out an iron cigarette box, handed it to her and said:

“Take it and, after getting my hint, fly towards the lighthouse.

"Then, count to three silently to remove the 'spiritual wall' above.

“During this process, and after it is completed, the flight cannot be stopped, and it should be as irregular as possible, no matter what method is used.

"When you see the special fireworks I've launched, immediately use the 'Spiritual Wall' to isolate the cigarette box and 'Mirror Flash' towards Maric. Do your best.

"After you reunite, flee all the way. Don't wait for me. I will 'teleport' over."

One of the core elements of his action plan tonight is the Azik copper whistle!

Stealing the Tutankhamun mummy was difficult, but I could make it come to me on its own!
