Klein's answer made Daly chuckle. The translucent face with only a mouth said:

"Even if you got inspiration from the motto of the Secret Peepers and confirmed your ideas from my experience and performance, the fact that you clearly understood 'acting' and summarized your own 'Fortune Teller's Code' in just over a month is enough to prove that you have outstanding wisdom and open-mindedness."

Klein didn't dwell on this topic that made him feel guilty, and instead asked:

"Ma'am, do the church leaders know about this, this so-called 'acting method'?"

"There is no doubt that they know very well. I have read the historical records of the church, looking for those who were promoted quickly and ignored the rules. I found that there are quite a few such Nighthawks and bishops. I am not the most special one, and their endings..." At this point, Daly deliberately paused, her tone seemed a little heavy.

"What were their endings?" Klein asked, his heart tightening.

Does the Church of the Goddess of Night regard "acting" as a trick of evil gods and demons?

The translucent face without eyes, nose or ears suddenly laughed out loud. "They all had good endings. Except for those who lost control or died in supernatural events, the rest at least became archbishops or high-level deacons. There are many strong people who successfully ascended to higher sequences. Uh, in the Goddess's church, Sequence 4 and Sequence 3 are collectively called saints, and Sequence 2 and Sequence 1 are earthly angels. Of course, every angel was once a saint."

...Ms. Daly, you were trying to scare me just now... Klein's mouth twitched slightly, and he asked without hiding his confusion:

"Since the church has already mastered the method of acting, why doesn't it tell every night watcher?"

“Although this cannot completely prevent loss of control, it can certainly significantly reduce the corresponding probability and reduce unnecessary losses.”

The translucent face with only a mouth showed a little confusion. "I don't know why. They told me that when I become an archbishop or a senior deacon, I will know the secrets in this regard. I came to you today because I hope you can tell Dunn the acting method more clearly before submitting the special application."

Klein did not foolishly ask the other party why he did not do it himself, but said thoughtfully:

"Once you are noticed by the church, you have to make a promise and a vow not to tell anyone about the performance?"

"Yes, swearing an oath in the name of the goddess in front of her holy object is binding enough. Believe me, you definitely don't want to know the consequences of violating it. Now I can only talk to people like you who also master the method of acting. Your own state has already told me the answer before you answered, so I dare to say that term." Daly made the weird face sigh.

She paused and continued:

"I only vaguely grasped the essence of acting at the beginning, and thus digested the potion quickly. Yes, in the church's upper echelons, the word digestion is used to describe the mastery of potions. I think it is very appropriate. In short, before I took the oath and was told about the 'acting method', I did not have a very clear understanding of this matter, and I was unable to accurately remind Dunn and the others."

"I had already given up, but I didn't expect to meet you, a freak, no, a genius, who clearly understood the 'acting method' before submitting a special application."

So this is how you see me, ma’am… Klein’s mouth twitched as he solemnly promised:

"I was originally planning to use the special application to remind the captain of the existence of the 'Acting Method'. With your explanation, ma'am, I don't have to worry about anything."

"Very good, you are such a kind guy." Daly's tone was obviously relieved.

Madam, you seem to be only two or three years older than me... Klein pointed out the other person's problem in his mind.

Before he could speak, the strange translucent face continued:

"If you have any questions or need any help, you can write to me. Wait for me. Haha, when I become an archbishop or a senior deacon and understand why the church hides the secret of 'acting method', I will hint to you whether this matter is good or bad."

Klein was invigorated by what he heard, and asked without hesitation:

"Ma'am, what's your address?"

For him, every extra helper is better than another, and this one is a relatively powerful "psychic"!

Facing Klein who did not refuse at all, Daly was silent for a few seconds and chuckled:

"Our communication should not be done through the post, we should not use normal letters, it is very unsafe."

"I will teach you a relatively simple ritual magic. It can summon a unique spirit, a spirit that belongs to me. You will give it the letter you have written, and it will deliver it to me accurately. It may not be as fast as a telegram, but it will be faster than a steam train. If you finish it at noon, I will receive it in Backlund that evening."

Klein listened attentively and nodded slightly, saying, "It's a very practical ritual magic."

Daly laughed softly:

"The characteristic of this kind of ritual magic is to pray to oneself and draw power from one's own spirituality. It does not need to go through the gods, so it is quite concealed, but the power is often not great."

"...First, you choose herbs and essential oils of the corresponding fields. This is no different from normal ritual magic, but you only need the candle that symbolizes you... Then, there is the spell part, which has three parts. The first part is 'I'. You should whisper 'I' in ancient Hermetic, Giant, Dragon or Elven. The second part is 'I summon in my name'. You can use Hermetic instead. The third part is the specific description of the summoned object, such as the ones you will use later: spirits wandering in the void, creatures from the upper world driven by people, and messengers that belong exclusively to Daly Simone."

The upper world? In the field of mysticism, this often refers to the spiritual world... Klein carefully memorized and analyzed the process of the ritual.

In this area, he can barely be considered an expert.

...The advantage of this kind of ritual magic is that it bypasses the gods and purely uses one's own power. It is not restricted by the domain of the gods and can obtain diverse spell effects. The problem is that it relies on one's own strength. The weak will always be weak, and the strong will always be strong... Klein feels that he has gained new knowledge, which is a mysticism that he cannot unlock at his current sequence.

Daly described it several times, emphasizing it:

"Remember, don't change the specific description of the summoned creature at will, as that can easily attract scary monsters."

“Okay.” Klein nodded honestly.

At the same time, he suddenly thought of something:

If the description of the summoned creature is changed to "The fool who does not belong to this era, the mysterious master above the gray fog, the yellow and black king who controls good luck", what will be summoned?

Is it completely ineffective, or is the gray fog descending suddenly, or do I need to go to that mysterious space to respond?

Will this help me leverage more of the power above the gray fog?

Will this lead to some terrible chain reaction?

Klein, who had just successfully committed suicide on the "Mutated Sun Holy Emblem", was still feeling a little scared. In the end, he followed his heart's wishes and planned to go to the gray fog to divine before deciding whether to try it.

He thought about it and asked with interest:

"Ma'am, if we strictly use the 'role playing method', how long will it take to go from Sequence 8 to Sequence 7, and how long will it take to go from Sequence 7 to Sequence 6?"

"According to the information I've read, it takes anywhere from three months to two years to go from Sequence 8 to Sequence 7. It depends on whether you can quickly comprehend the core spirit and corresponding rules during the role-playing process. It takes half a year to three years to go from Sequence 7 to Sequence 6, and the same is true for Sequence 6 to Sequence 5. And it takes three to twenty years to go from Sequence 5 to Sequence 4..." Daly gave a rough description.

Klein suddenly smiled:

"So, ma'am, you have reached Sequence 6?"

He heard from Dunn that it took Daley a year to advance from Sequence 9 "Corpse Collector" to Sequence 8 "Gravedigger", and it also took a year to advance from "Gravedigger" to Sequence 7 "Psychic". She had only been a Beyonder for five years, which meant that Daley had been at the rank of "Psychic" for almost three years.

"Yes, that's why I was transferred to the Backlund Diocese." The translucent weird face answered frankly, "My current occupation is 'Dead Soul Instructor', but I prefer the title of 'Psychic'. Well, this little guy is tired, I have to leave. In this case, I won't say May the Goddess bless you."

"May you have a good dream." Klein placed his hand on his chest and bowed with a smile.

"No, I won't have a good dream tonight. I have to rush back to Backlund. This is not a pleasant experience. It's like having sex with someone you don't like..." Daly's voice became lower and lower, and the translucent face without eyes and nose slowly shrank back into the wall, leaving no trace.

The light of the gas lamp suddenly became brighter, and all the green disappeared.

Klein, who had been using his clairvoyance, stared at the changes in a daze, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.

"The psychic, no, the necromancer is so powerful that he can actually create a 'messenger' from the mysterious realm... I wonder how special my Sequence 7 and Sequence 6 will be..." He muttered to himself silently, quickly removed the spiritual wall and turned off the gas lamp in the bedroom, then lay quietly in the dark.

He had no plan to go above the gray fog tonight. He had to be on guard against Daly's sudden return and saying something like Dunn Smith's classic quote, "Oh, I forgot one thing."

By then, even if you want to kill someone to silence them, you won’t be able to do it!

…………

The next day, Klein entered the Blackthorn Security Company three minutes early.

"Good morning, Klein, the new clerical staff is here!" Roshan greeted with a bright smile.

Klein was sincerely happy for the other party:

"Congratulations, Roxanne, the goddess heard your prayers."

"My skin is getting back to normal!" Luo Shan nodded with shining eyes.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Klein walked to the partition and knocked on the captain's office door.

"Come in." Dunn's mellow voice came out.

Klein pushed the door open and saw the captain instinctively sit up straight. His gray eyes became deep, as if he was prepared for something to happen.

"Ahem." He cleared his throat and sat down with his hat and cane. "Captain, I have something to report."

"What's the matter?" Dunn clasped his hands and asked in a deep voice.
