Hearing Helmothuein's answer, Klein's mouth twitched uncontrollably, and he almost froze in place.
None of my enemies are here, Bayam... If you die at the gate of the Sea King, it won't have much effect... He took a slow breath and asked instead of continuing the previous topic:
"Hermothuin, no, Mr. Hilarion, why on earth did you notice me?"
And he even came to remind me before he died!
This was also his doubt about the "magic mirror" Arrodes and the messenger Miss Renette Tinicole, but he never had a good opportunity to ask.
Helmoshuin was silent for two seconds, then said with a smile:
"Some of your characteristics are no secret to a few special, high-ranking spiritual beings. They can be discovered by close contact. After all, the gray fog that symbolizes the great master of the spiritual world is right above our heads. Some gods with unique powers or extraordinary beings representing destiny can also discover this to varying degrees. Of course, the premise is that they have been in close contact."
Gray fog... Although Orange Light's statement was almost the same as Arrodes' compliment, it pointed out the gray fog. This was the first time I had encountered someone who pointed this out to me directly! So, that mysterious space was the kingdom of God left behind by the great master above the spiritual world? What kind of Sequence 0 is this? The gods who could discover that I had the blessing of gray fog included the Mother Tree of Desire, so He targeted me? Klein's thoughts were like boiling water, gurgling with questions.
He was about to speak when Helmothjuin continued:
"In the prophecy of 'Yellow Light', the great master of the spiritual world is one of the variables of the end of the world. However, I cannot be sure that you are equal to Him. There are too many possibilities for you to have that kind of characteristics, such as being His followers, His children, or His chosen messengers. But this does not prevent me from expressing my friendship.
"Well, you know the Backlund Stock Exchange, right? You are like a newly listed railway company that seems to have a good future. Some people will naturally be optimistic about you and buy a certain amount of stocks, while many people will be very greedy and hope to use other means to occupy this company or obtain controlling rights. The former is me, and the latter is the 'Mother Tree of Desire' and more powerful spiritual creatures."
So... If there hadn't been a traveler related to the gray fog, Emperor Roselle, in front of me, and if I hadn't divined my origins in that mysterious space, obtained a clear picture of the Earth, and recalled more memories, I would have doubted whether I was the reincarnation of the great master above the spiritual world... From the overall experience, Emperor Roselle and I are closer to the chosen messengers of God... Is the great master above the spiritual world equal to the Blessing Heavenly Venerable? Klein inevitably had all kinds of speculations, and his mind was as chaotic as a ball of wool played by a cat.
He calmed down and said:
"Is there any way to hide that trait?"
"Become a demigod." Helmothuin had just finished answering when he suddenly coughed twice and said, "Do you mind if I die at your door?"
“…Mind.” Klein didn’t want to be noticed by demigods like “Sea King” Yan Kottman and Admiral Robert Davis.
Hermoshuin took a bite of the candy and said:
“Then I have to leave immediately, otherwise it will be too late.
"When you become a demigod and have the ability to explore the depths of the spirit world, we will have a chance to meet again."
Klein was silent for a second and said:
"Thank you for your reminder, Mr. Hilarion."
Helmothjuin did not respond and walked towards the stairs with heavy steps.
Listening to the sound of people descending the stairs, Klein regained his focus and suddenly had some ideas about why Emperor Roselle could detect the existence of the gray fog but was unable to enter:
“He recovered the silver plate that caused him to travel through time long after he became a Beyonder, and I was an ordinary person when I tried the luck-changing ritual again… Also, Emperor Roselle chose the ‘Generalist’ path, and I am a ‘Fortune Teller’. The power of the mysterious space above the gray fog is obviously of great help to divination.
"So, the prerequisite for entering the gray fog on your own is to be an ordinary person or a Beyonder of the 'Fortune Teller' path, and to have mastered the corresponding spells, rituals, and symbols? The Emperor experimented too late and chose the wrong path, so naturally he couldn't enter.
"Based on the fact that 'Fortune Teller', 'Apprentice', and 'Thief' are similar paths, the latter two seem to be possible. Could this be the deeper reason why the Emperor lamented in his diary that he should have chosen one of these three paths? In addition to not having Sequence 0 and no influence from the top, these three paths also contain the key to entering the gray fog?"
As his thoughts raced, Klein temporarily suppressed the fact that he could not verify at the moment and considered Orange Light Hilarion's reminder:
Beware the "Mother Tree of Desire"!
Because of the incident with Admiral Amyrius, Klein was very wary of the "Mother Tree of Desire" and had to change his identity. He used the opportunity of acting to hide for two months. Later, he was reluctant to provoke the "Admiral of Blood" and other people from the Rose School for fear of falling into a trap.
When faced with a potential, huge danger, a normal human's first thought would definitely be to solve it. Klein was the same, but the problem was that he had no way to solve it.
The "Mother Tree of Desire" is suspected to be a true god of Sequence 0. It is in the astral realm. Even if Klein jumps up, he cannot hit it. The force controlled by it, the Rose School, is an organization with a long history. It is very likely that there are angels in charge and there are Level 0 seals. Otherwise, it would be difficult for them to survive until today in the hostility of all churches and all secret organizations. Therefore, even if Klein asks friendly bigwigs such as Mr. Azik for help, there is no way to uproot the Rose School, and he might even encounter danger.
For these reasons, Klein had no choice but to hide as much as possible, hoping to successfully advance to Sequence 4 and become a demigod.
"I have been watching out for the Mother Tree of Desire. Mr. Orange Light Hilarion, don't you know that I once encountered the trap of this evil god on Oravi Island?
"Or, does his purpose in coming here to give you this reminder mean that the other party will be making a big move soon?
"Well... he was previously controlled by the 'Blood Admiral', who is from the Rose School, so he may know something!"
Klein suddenly realized that if he didn't blindly believe that the changes of the "Faceless Man" would be able to hide from the "Mother Tree of Desire"!
According to Orange Light Hilarion, He can detect certain characteristics in me even at close range, which is difficult to conceal with the extraordinary ability of the Faceless Man! He has not taken action for so long. Is He trying to bestow this sense on believers with the help of some kind of ritual or artifact, and is about to succeed recently? Klein frowned slowly, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that there was a certain possibility.
This made him want to return to Backlund even more. In that big city, even angels had to behave themselves, just like a certain "Snake of Fate". The believers of the "Mother Tree of Desire" and the strong men of the Rose School could no longer act recklessly and could only patiently look for opportunities!
Huh... Klein exhaled and headed above the gray fog to divine that his life was in danger.
This time, the answer he got was no, there was no danger to his life.
But Klein did not relax because he remembered that the interference of the Mother Tree of Desire on divination could penetrate the gray fog barrier to a certain extent!
And a long time ago, his spirituality also prevented him from divining the extraordinary characteristics of "werewolf" above the gray fog, because this might involve the "bound god", and the "bound god" was suspected to be the incarnation of the "mother tree of desire".
Either it's really alright and I'm overthinking it, or the danger is very close, so the Mother Tree of Desire intervened... It's better to be cautious and prepare first. Even if it turns out to be a false alarm, it's better than being caught by the Rose School and being taken away by the Mother Tree of Desire for who knows what to do! Klein immediately returned to the real world, took out a pen and paper, and quickly wrote a letter, with "Dear Mr. Azik" at the top of his head.
Considering that the underworld is within the spirit world, in a sense, the demigods of the "Death God" path can be considered high-level spirit world creatures. After Mr. Azik regained his memory, he was likely able to see that he possessed that kind of trait. Klein did not hide too much and directly wrote down the entire process of his encounter and conversation with "Orange Light" Hilarion, who was incarnated as the great scientist Hermotheuin. He just did not write about the gray fog or the part about the great existence above the spirit world.
Finally, he said:
"Does Mr. Hilarion's reminder mean that I will encounter fatal danger from the Rose School in the near future?"
After folding the paper and blowing the whistle to summon the messenger to pick up the package, Klein felt that this was not safe enough, so he took out the adventurer's harmonica and blew it.
Silently, Reinette Tinicole appeared in front of him. The four heads with blonde hair and red eyes turned around and said:
"No...letter..."
"I have something to discuss with you this time." Klein put on a smile and handed over the gold coin he got from Anderson. "This is the summoning fee."
The head held by Renette Tinicole bit the gold coin, and the other two who had been unable to speak before asked:
"What... thing..."
"I might be in some danger recently. I hope to summon you for help. Is that okay?" Klein tried to make his eyes look sincere.
The eight eyeballs of Renette Tinicole's four heads moved at the same time and said:
"You can...pay...10,000 gold coins..."
...Ten thousand pieces, equivalent to 10,000 pounds! Klein opened his mouth and smiled with difficulty:
“I don’t have that much money right now.”
The four heads of Renette Tinicole spoke one after another:
"You...can...pay...in installments..."
"Instalments..." Klein didn't expect the messenger to be so fashionable. He was stunned for two seconds before saying, "Okay."
Renette Tinicole said nothing more. The four heads nodded at the same time, disappeared from Klein's sight, and returned to the spirit world.
