Chapter 24: Fulfilling a Wish



After putting away the "Fool" card, Klein took out the "Creeping Hunger" from the void, put it on his left hand, and activated "Teleport".

After returning to the shrunken city library, he immediately said to the Servant of Secrets Arianna:

"Thrown into the abandoned palace on the main peak of the Honachis Mountains."

That was an entrance to the foggy town.

As for how to deal with "0-02" afterwards, that is the problem of the Church of Evernight.

"Okay." Arianna nodded, and without saying anything else, she switched directly into the "stealth" state and disappeared from the spot, like a sketch being erased by an eraser.

“He” did not thank him, nor did he ask for any reward, just like he never asked for anything whenever he helped Klein.

Does Ms. Arianna know that I have obtained the "Fool" card? Klein looked around thoughtfully and sighed slowly in the gradually deepening night.

Although this extraordinary incident was resolved in less than two hours, many people still lost their lives under the strict "rules".

The citizens of Beldan here have made some mistakes to a greater or lesser extent, but the punishment they have suffered has far exceeded the crimes they have committed. The most innocent are the travelers who come to or pass through Beldan, who have to face nightmares just because they are outsiders.

Klein tried hard to do some things and protected many outsiders, including Roy and others, but he was also restricted. There were limits on what he could do and few loopholes he could exploit. He couldn't make it seem as if nothing had happened.

The next step was to provide treatment for the survivors... Klein retracted his gaze and prepared to "teleport" to Byers' home to deal with some hidden dangers.

At this moment, Renette Tinicole, who was holding four blond, red-eyed heads and wearing a gloomy and complicated long dress, walked out of the void while biting a black goat horn.

"He..." "Escaped..." "The spiritual world..." The remaining three heads of the messenger lady said one after another.

"As expected of the former Patriarch." Klein, who had already noticed this, exclaimed without any surprise.

Then he pointed to the black goat horn:

"Is this what Larion left behind?"

When Klein took the item, the head of Renette Tinicole that had been unable to speak just now spoke:

"Yes."

He was able to break through the encirclement and escape from the spirit world even after encountering the transformation curse. He was really amazing... Is this the Sequence 2 angel who is best at frontal combat? Klein flicked his wrist, shattering the black goat horn in his palm into countless tiny points of light, dissipating a lot of residual spirit.

——The limbs left behind after the Extraordinary were "transformed" contained some Extraordinary characteristics, and they could not be restored.

When the light spots were reorganized into one copy each of Sequence 9 to Sequence 7 and Sequence 4 Beyonder characteristics, Klein picked out the Sequence 8 "Fighter" copy and returned the rest to the courier with a smile:

"This is your trophy. I only charge you for the information."

Renette Tinicole didn't hesitate to raise one of the blond, red-eyed heads, opened its mouth, and sucked away the Warrior pathway Beyonder characteristics of Sequence 9, Sequence 7, and Sequence 4.

After watching the messenger leave Belldam, Klein "teleported" back to Byers' home and smiled at Roy and the others:

"The problem has been solved. You are no longer hated outsiders."

The four extraordinary people just revealed their sincere, relieved smiles and were about to respond when they saw the magical "magician" summon a stranger out of the air.

He was an old man wearing a dark red bow tie, a shirt, a vest, a suit and blue striped trousers. His hair was completely white but still thick, and his temperament was gentle and elegant.

This is Klein's former puppet, Hvin Rambis. He intends to use this "manipulator" to seal Byers' memory of coming into contact with "0-02".

Just because Byers had not been contaminated by the source material before, it didn’t mean that he wouldn’t encounter that terrible thing when he recalled it later!

Since Byers only had a short memory of the matter and he had no real understanding of the truth of the matter, the operation Klein needed to perform was quite simple. Therefore, he did not ask Miss Justice for help and planned to use the historical pore image of his own doll to complete it.

“You didn’t tell them about what happened in the city library just now, did you?” Klein asked as he asked Hvin Rambis to walk to his side while looking at Byers.

Byers shook his head hurriedly and said:

"I remember your instructions."

"Very good. Next, I will give you a psychological treatment to help you forget those things. Otherwise, you will be targeted by '0-02' and will never have peace until you die. Believe me, a seal of this level can definitely do something similar, even if it has been taken away." Klein stated his purpose frankly.

Byers twitched his lips a few times and said:

"OK."

He chose to obey and believe.

After asking Roy, Pasha, and Phil to leave the rental house, Klein manipulated Hvin Rambis to perform a series of mental operations, successfully making Byers forget the brass book he saw and its contents.

After completing this task, Klein carefully took out the "magic mirror" and looked at it and said:

"Arrodes, are there any other hidden dangers in this matter?"

On the surface of the ancient silver mirror, water light floated faintly, reflecting lines of silver words:

"Great Master, there are no hidden dangers in Beldan. As for other places in Loen and Feysac, I cannot see clearly because it involves '0-02' itself.

"Perhaps you could confirm it yourself?"

“Yes.” Klein nodded slightly, took out a gold coin, and recited the corresponding divination sentence in a low voice.

With a clang, the gold coin bounced up and rolled into the air.

During this process, scenes naturally emerged in Klein's mind. They were chimneys, streets, and cities. They were extremely general and lacked specific direction.

He frowned slightly, collected his thoughts, and reached out to catch the gold coin that had just fallen.

Then, he asked Pasha and others to return to Byers's home, and said to Roy with a smile:

"Aren't you hoping for the next potion? You can make a wish now."

Roy was surprised and asked nervously:

"Can I make another wish?"

“This is a gift.” Klein responded with a smile.

Roy's heart moved, and he stopped asking questions. He seized this opportunity and made a wish to get the next potion.

Klein then threw the Beyonder characteristic of the Warrior Path Sequence 8 “Fighter” to him:

"This is essentially a potion, but for safety reasons, I suggest you look for the corresponding formula and collect the correct auxiliary materials."

"Praise your magic." Roy thanked excitedly.

His first potion was a Warrior Extraordinary Characteristic that he "swallowed alive" in a sense. Because the end of the world was near, his level was relatively low, and he was lucky, he did not lose control on the spot, and he did not even develop serious psychological problems.

After that, he gradually came into contact with other extraordinary people and learned about true mysticism. He realized how dangerous his previous behavior was and never dared to make a similar attempt again.

Facing Roy's praise, Klein looked around and smiled.

"Next, you will follow me out of Belldan. It's not that there is still danger here, but I have to hurry to fulfill your wish."

One is Roy's wish that Klein could help them leave Beldan, and the other is Pasha's wish that Klein protect them and let them leave Beldan alive.

Although these two things no longer made any sense under the current circumstances, Klein had to do them because they were related to the fulfillment of his wish.

I am just a ruthless "wishing machine"... Klein made a self-deprecating comment and smiled at Byers and the others.

Pasha and the others looked at each other, but did not dare to raise any objections. As before, they held each other's hands.

Then, Klein "teleported" them to the outskirts of Beldan.

"The wish magic is over. It's time to say goodbye." Klein took off his hat and saluted, trying to make himself look like a real wandering magician.

This is his acting habit.

Seeing this, Pasha asked:

"Can we have your name?"

Klein smiled and said:

"I have too many names. Different people call me different names. You can call me 'Miracle Magician' Merlin Hermes."

"Mr. Hermes, are you a believer of the 'Goddess of Night'?" Roy asked after hesitating.

...Klein didn't know how to answer for a moment, because he wanted to say that it was once, but not now.

After some thought, he decided to play the role of "Secret Waiter" in advance.

He immediately suppressed the smile on his face and said solemnly:

"I serve the 'Fool, the Lord of Mysteries, the Great Lord above the Spirit World'.

"If you want to believe in this great being, or want to learn more about him, you can go to the Sonia Heroside Islands, where the Lord's missionary Danitz is preaching."

Moreover, the City of Silver must have all the potion formulas before Sequence 2 of the Warrior Pathway... Klein silently added in his mind, but did not say it out loud.

Roy nodded slightly and said:

"It was the first time I knew there was such a great being in this world. Your miracles showed His glory."

He did not respond directly to Mr. Merlin Hermes because he was still hesitant.

The same is true for Pasha, Biles, Phil and others.

Klein said nothing more. He turned and left the four Beyonders, and went back to Beldan from another direction.

He did not forget the purpose of getting off the train in this small town, and planned to find a room immediately and go above the gray fog to study the "Fool" card.

…………

In Jianhai County, in another city, in a library.

A young legal researcher took a book from the bookshelf, walked to the table by the floor-to-ceiling window and sat down.

While carefully flipping through the book, he found a page of yellowish-brown paper stuck inside.

"What is this?" The young legal researcher asked himself in confusion as he reached out and pulled out the piece of paper.

After identification, he determined that the paper was written in ancient Feysac language, and the content was quite rare:

"...In the Fourth Epoch, there was a book called 'The Brass Book of Trunsoest'..."
