On Friday afternoon, Klein, who pretended to be sick and did not go to the literary salon, came to the gray fog again.
In front of him was a palm-sized copper-green notebook with a hard cover. It was the "Lemanno Travel Notes" provided by the "Magician" Fors.
Klein opened the book, which was actually more like a magic book, to a page. He glanced at the burnt yellow color and raised his hand to summon the "Scepter of Poseidon" from the pile of debris and held it in his palm.
While he infused some of his spiritual power into "Lemanno's Travel Notes", causing it to glow with a faint, hazy light, he also caused the blue-green gems on the top of the bone short staff to burst out with bright light one after another.
Amidst the teeth-grinding buzzing sound, one silver-white lightning bolt after another appeared out of thin air, thick and ferocious, with bared fangs and claws, interweaving together to form a storm-like scene.
At the same time, on the burnt-yellow page of Lemanno's travel notes, complex symbols and signs were quickly sketched, overlapping and merging with each other, gradually taking shape.
Just as the page was about to be dyed silver-white, electric snakes burst out from it, destroying all the patterns in an instant!
Failed again... Klein sighed silently and repeated the process again.
This was not his first attempt. Ever since he got the "Lemanno's Travel Notes" on Wednesday night, he would occasionally enter the gray fog and use this magic book to record the abilities displayed by the "Scepter of Poseidon". He did it over and over again until his spiritual power was almost exhausted and he had to return to the real world to rest.
There were failures and successes in the process. Klein relied on repeated attempts and finally reached the last step, which was to record the "Lightning Storm" that he had been coveting for a long time!
This is the demigod ability of the "Sailor" path!
Before the failure just now, Klein had failed nearly twenty times, so his luck could be said to be quite bad.
He failed, failed again, and failed again. On the fifth time, he saw with delight that the silvery-white color dyed the burnt yellow paper, causing the ancient, mysterious, and complex symbols on it to shrink inward at the same time, forming a strange pattern that made people feel like being struck by lightning just by looking at it.
“Huh… I finally succeeded.” Klein stroked the paper with his fingers and let out a long sigh of relief.
He flipped forward through "Lemanno's Travel Notes" and admired his previous achievements.
During these two days, he was not completely obsessed with the "Lightning Storm". He also recorded two other demigod-level abilities. One was the "Paper Angel" formed by himself leveraging a small amount of power from the mysterious space above the gray fog, which could be used to interfere with divination and prophecy. The other was the "Tornado" which also originated from the "Scepter of Poseidon".
When recording them, Klein was relatively lucky, and he succeeded in recording one nine times and one twelve times.
As for Beyonder Abilities that were not at Sequence 4, such as “Flying,” “Gliding,” and “Lightning Strike,” they only needed to be used once or twice, so Klein got almost a full book.
This magic book is not particularly useful for wild Beyonders. It takes a long time and a lot of patience to record enough useful abilities. Moreover, the probability of failure will increase for those above Sequence 6, so it is not so easy to get... However, there are 22 paths in the mysterious realm. As long as the abilities of the first few sequences are well matched, it is not too strange to kill Sequence 5... Klein closed "Lemanno's Travel Notes" and sighed in his heart.
In his opinion, this magic book is indeed equivalent to half a divine weapon for wild extraordinary people. Although it is more difficult to form than "Creeping Hunger" in the early stage, once it is well matched, cross-level challenges will become a routine operation. However, in the hands of extraordinary people with the support of major forces, the role of "Lemanno's Travel Notes" is more exaggerated, almost a BUG, because it can record the abilities of demigods!
As long as they wanted, a demigod could demonstrate it again and again, and the Creeping Hunger would most likely not be able to swallow a demigod. Even for a genuine Shepherd, it would be very difficult to herd a high-sequence being. First, there were no resources, and second, they could easily lose control. The Elder Lovia from the City of Silver was also extremely lucky to be able to herd an evil spirit that was roughly equivalent to Sequence 4... Klein thought of this and cast his gaze on a dark green stone placed next to him. It was uneven, and the surface was full of burn marks. It was the Spirit World Shuttle Stone provided by the Magician Fors.
With "Lemano's Travel Notes" and this stone, plus the "Luck Stealer" spell and the "Wicked Soul" doll, even if Mr. X is surrounded by saints, I can still complete the task and leave calmly... Klein rubbed his forehead, returned to the real world, arranged the ceremony to request the gift, and took out the corresponding items.
After completing these preliminary preparations, he walked to the full-length mirror, looked at himself inside, and made his appearance look a little haggard.
After dinner, Klein returned to his room, using the excuse that he was not feeling well.
After looking at the night view for a few minutes, he took out a palm-sized mirror from the drawer and placed it on the soft and elastic pillow.
Then, Klein moved closer, allowing the mirror to reflect Dwayne Dantès, who had deep blue eyes and graying temples.
He then slowly straightened up and stepped back, and suddenly there was another Dwayne Dantès!
The gentleman was wearing dark silk pajamas, leaning against a pillow, holding a book in his hand, with his eyes half closed, as if he was resting or thinking.
Yes, the mirror illusion is no worse than the paper man illusion... Klein returned to his desk, picked up a pen, and drew a strange symbol on the paper that combined secrecy and voyeurism.
After a brief silence, the ** Dwayne Dantès suddenly opened his eyes and said with a flattering smile:
"Great Master, your humble and loyal servant Arrodes is here!"
It has to be said that even Dwayne Dantès couldn't handle such a smile... Klein sighed and almost turned his head to look to the other side.
"Very good." He nodded slightly and praised.
Without giving any further instructions, he put on his half-high silk hat, slid down from the balcony to the first floor, walked along the secluded garden path, and climbed out of the outer wall of No. 160 Böklund Street from the corner. During this process, he did not forget to close the window.
Holding his hat with his right hand and stepping firmly on the street ground, Klein slowly raised his head. His facial features and outlines had changed at some point. He now had black hair, brown eyes, a thin face, and sharp edges.
This is the crazy adventurer Gehrman Sparrow, who has a bounty of 50,000 pounds from a single country!
The hunt is about to begin.
…………
In the Cherwood District, Xio was about to go out to the East District to attend Mr. X's Beyonder gathering, but was stopped by Fors.
"You, are going out to collect materials?" Xio carefully said the common phrase used by his good friend.
Fors gathered his hair and said:
“No, it’s about making money!
"I took on a mission before, to help someone find the dust left by ghosts. As you know, there are no ghosts in the cemetery. They have long been sent to their respective realms of gods by priests and bishops. So, I can only go to the East District to look for those who died due to various problems but have not been found yet.
"Can you bear to see a beautiful and frail lady like me go into that chaotic place alone?"
"But can't we postpone it for a day?" Xio hesitated and said, "I'm planning to attend the party called by Mr. X."
Fors immediately shook his head:
"No, the mission is due tomorrow, and it's a full 50 pounds!"
"It's due tomorrow, so why didn't you do it in the past few days?" Xio gave his friend a suspicious look.
Fors laughed and said:
“Did you just meet me?
"Don't you know I have a serious procrastination problem?
"Besides, you have no money, so what's the point of going to Mr. X's party? You don't even know what extraordinary materials you need!"
"That's right." Hugh was convinced and immediately smiled and said, "Does every writer have procrastination?"
“Probably.” Fors answered perfunctorily while secretly breathing a sigh of relief.
…………
In a cheap hotel in the East District, Klein entered the room that Miss Magician had booked under a pseudonym.
Here, having one room, one bed and one person is a luxury, but even so, a similar room only costs 12 pence a night. Of course, many cheap hotels in the East End do not have single rooms at all. The best room is a "cubicle", which costs 5 pence a night and only has a bed and some baffles to block other people's views and facilitate changing clothes.
As for the basement where there are more than a dozen bunk beds, each bed costs 1.5 pence per night. You are required to keep your belongings by yourself. We are not responsible if they are lost.
There is actually a mirror, not bad... Klein put down his hat and stood in front of a full-length mirror full of gaps. He put on the hooded robe prepared by Miss Magician.
Then, his body became shorter at a speed visible to the naked eye, his skin gradually became paler and took on a wheat-colored hue, the bulge in his throat disappeared, and his hair grew longer and turned golden.
——After the “magician” Fors provided the image of a friend who was in disguise but did not show his face, Klein immediately recognized that the person being imitated was Miss Xio!
However, because of the hooded robe covering him, he did not really become feminine; he just dealt with the parts that could be easily seen by others.
I really can't do anything about my height of 1.5 meters. I have to completely digest all the potions in my body to reach this limit... Fortunately, Miss Xiu has disguised herself to increase her height, so I don't have to worry about that... Klein looked at himself in the glasses, who was 1.60 cm tall, and put on the pair of leather boots in the room. They looked flat-soled and they actually were.
After completing the disguise, Klein pulled up his hood and quietly left the single room through the window. He came to the alley in the East District and walked all the way to the outside of the house where Mr. X had convened a gathering of Beyonders.
Recalling the knock code that Miss Magician had told him, Klein bent his fingers and knocked on the door with three light and three heavy knocks at intervals of two long and three short.
Ten seconds later, the door opened silently, and a waiter wearing an iron mask first examined the visitor for a few seconds before making way.
Klein was not at all flustered. He calmly walked past him and entered the house.
