Chapter 149 Secret Ceremony



A male voice? Mr. Hanged Man, or Little Sun? Klein looked out the window at the gloomy sky, got up and went into the bathroom next door. He locked the door, walked four steps backwards, and came to the top of the gray fog.

In that mysterious space, the towering ancient palace stood quietly, and the unreal male voices echoed layer by layer.

Klein took a glance and confirmed that the prayer came from the little "sun".

As he sat down in the position of The Fool, he stretched out his right hand, spreading his spirituality and touching the corresponding crimson star.

Suddenly, the voice of prayer became clear enough and distinct in layers. Klein quickly understood what the "Sun" was saying:

The former captain of the exploration team who had met Amon next to him suddenly lost control and mysteriously penetrated the seal and came to his room. Fortunately, the City of Silver took this seriously and had been on guard, otherwise it would have led to a tragedy.

The Sun believed that the other party’s loss of control would not be without reason. He guessed two possibilities. One was that his extraordinary path just met the needs of the descendants of the ancient sun god. The other was that the other party might have noticed the Tarot gathering and Mr. Fool’s secret attempt to pull people in.

If it was the former, they wouldn't have waited until today, until the Tarot gathering was over, to get out of control... It's most likely the latter reason... Hiss, this is the first time I've met someone who can sense the gray fog... That Amon is terrifying! No wonder their family was called "blasphemers" in the Fourth Epoch. Even the surname itself is taboo... Klein subconsciously looked at the corresponding prayer screen that the crimson star materialized, and carefully observed the blurry little "sun" to see if there was anything wrong with it.

——Klein believed that Amon would never be eliminated so easily. Even if, as the Chief of the City of Silver said, he was not the real body, it was impossible!

Unless he had never expected that the strong men in Silver City had been monitoring him with the help of magical items, but was this possible?

When he decided to let the former captain of the exploration team lose control and quietly break through the seal, he must have had a certain plan...

As his thoughts raced, Klein's gaze suddenly froze as he looked at the prayer screen.

A transparent and illusory figure is entangled in the blurry and unclear "sun"!

He has hands and feet, but like a python, he twists around the "sun", with his head behind the "sun"'s head!

In the hazy picture, he seemed to be wearing a black classical robe, a pointed hat of the same color, and a crystal monocle on his face.

The "Sun" was completely unaware of all this!

…Klein almost gasped, frightened by the other party’s strange method.

He vaguely understood the other party's purpose:

"Residing" in the spirit body of the "Sun", waiting for the next Tarot gathering, it sneaks into the gray fog unnoticed, like a virus or a Trojan horse!

At that time, my control over this mysterious space might be taken away... What a "blasphemer"! Fortunately, the little "Sun" was relatively simple and direct, and reported the matter to me immediately. Through the corresponding crimson stars and the power above the gray fog, I was able to discover his strange state... Klein took a breath and tried to calm himself down.

At this moment, he had to respond. Either he had to quickly find a way to remove Amon from the "Sun"'s body, or temporarily exclude the "Sun" from the Tarot gathering.

Looking at himself, from the extraordinary abilities of the "magician", "clown", and "fortune teller" to the Azik copper whistle, the "Black Emperor" card, the Eye of All Black, the Sun Brooch, the Biotoxin Bottle and other items, Klein could not find a way to deal with Amon:

The opponent's sequence must be above 4, and his methods are strange enough to deceive the magical items and powerful "Demon Hunters" that are the basis for the survival of the City of Silver. It is definitely not something that can be eliminated by ordinary things and abilities!

After thinking for a moment and looking around, Klein discovered that only the gray fog and this mysterious space had the potential to solve the problem of Amon.

We must find a way to leverage its power... The previous sacrifice and bestowal ceremony are examples... With this idea in mind, Klein turned his attention to the Book of Secrets.

This originated from the mystical books of the ancient wizard king Karaman, which recorded many mysterious rituals of praying for help from the primordial moon.

Klein, who had browsed through them before, vaguely remembered that there were a few that were suitable for this scenario.

Of course, after changing the direction to "Fool", what changes need to be made and whether it will be effective are all unknown. We can only try it with the mentality of giving it a try... Klein flipped through the book and his eyes stopped on a ceremony:

"Blood Moon Ritual."

This ritual magic was significantly different from the simple type that Klein had learned before, as it utilized mystical elements.

The process is to first use spiritual materials, preferably the blood of a Beyonder, to write the name of the person to be in the secret agreement on a piece of animal leather, and then draw corresponding symbols and magical signs. If necessary, specific time, place and environment also need to be considered.

After completing this step, the host of the ceremony sets up the altar, picks up the leather, continuously recites the honorific name, and lets his own spirituality spread into the leather, gradually emanating, and becoming little by little in harmony with the corresponding great being's hidden existence, gaining corresponding spiritual experience or certain help.

The final result of this ritual is unknown. It all depends on what the great hidden being gives. In other words, depending on one's own characteristics, the knowledge and power that can be obtained through that secret fit will also be different.

This vague and subjective ritual gave Klein room to manipulate. If he showed an attitude of preparing to forcefully eliminate Amon from the beginning, the other party would inevitably resist and create a dangerous accident.

If the object of the secret contract is the "True Creator" or the "Hidden Sage", it is normal to go crazy after the ceremony... Klein muttered, materialized a pen and paper, and began to modify the "Blood Moon Ritual" to turn it into a secret contract ceremony belonging to the "Fool".

First, he had to replace the honorific name with the three words of "The King of Yellow and Black", and secondly, he had to change the symbol to the one behind the "Fool"'s chair - a unique symbol composed of the "Pupilless Eye" that partially symbolizes secrecy and the "Twisted Line" that symbolizes change.

The next step is to design corresponding magic signs based on symbolic symbols and knowledge of occultism. This is the most difficult step. Once a mistake is made, the entire ceremony will undergo unpredictable changes.

The last step is to modify the layout of the altar to make it closer to the "Fool" and the "King of Yellow and Black".

After being busy for a while, Klein had a new secret ceremony, but he didn't know whether it would be effective.

He carefully checked it several times, and after confirming that it was correct, he spread his spirituality and responded to the little "sun" in a low voice:

"I see.

I have something for you to do.

Test this ritual to see if it works."

…………

The Sun Derrick suddenly woke up from a dreamless slumber. Before his eyes was a boundless gray fog and the lofty Fool. In his ears echoed a series of illusory and lofty words.

He knew that Mr. Fool would occasionally ask members of the Tarot Party to make some small attempts, as if to verify something. He did not find it strange and sat up proactively, finding things such as monster leather and exotic herbs.

As for the spiritual materials described in the ritual, Derrick did not waste time going to the spire or the underground market to buy them. He directly picked up the "Hurricane Axe" and cut a gash on his arm.

He silently used his own blood as ink to write the name of "The Fool" and the corresponding symbolic symbols and magical signs on the bumpy monster leather.

After a while, he put down the feather pen with blood on the tip and saw many mysterious symbols on the leather. The color was bright red and there was an indescribable weird smell.

After treating the wound on his arm, Derrick, whose face was already somewhat pale, quickly set up a simple altar, picked up the leather with shocking blood-red words and various symbols, and held it tightly in his palm.

He looked at the flickering candlelight before him, closed his eyes, lowered his head, and kept chanting the name of the object of the ritual:

"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."

Derrick's spirituality slowly flowed out and entered the leather. The Giant language words and magic symbols on it quickly brightened, becoming a frighteningly bright red.

At this time, he had entered a state of meditation and felt his spirit dissipating little by little, floating to an infinitely high place, coming into contact with the gray mist and the hidden great existence.

…………

Above the gray fog, in a towering palace that looks like a giant's residence.

Klein was waiting here after discovering that the "Sun" had not delayed and preparing for the ceremony directly.

Suddenly, he felt the entire mysterious space tremble slightly, and the still gray-white mist began to flow noticeably!

The deep red star corresponding to the "sun" shone brightly, emitting an illusory light like a tide.

These countless rays of light condensed and turned into a vague figure of the "sun". He was in a posture of prayer, with his eyes closed and his head lowered, waiting to gradually connect with the great existence and gain a wonderful spiritual experience.

The transparent silhouette was still wrapped around him like a python, but his head was tilted back, looking upwards, with a crystal monocle flashing a faint light.

He was looking for a subtle, hidden connection... He should have recognized that this was a secret ceremony, but he didn't do anything to stop it. He was just looking for a connection? Klein suddenly had this realization, and felt that the gray-white mist and the mysterious space above it were simultaneously generating ripples of power!

However, Klein currently had no way to combine these powers with his own spirituality to create an extraordinary effect that could drive away evil spirits, unless he performed a corresponding ritual.

Obviously, this was impossible; he couldn't afford to be distracted by two ceremonies - ceremonies taking place at the same time!

With a quick glance, Klein's eyes stopped on the sun brooch.
