Regarding the return of Butis's "0" level seal or the restoration of normalcy, "Hermit" Cattleya and "Justice" Audrey did make certain plans. After all, they were not sure they could kill a demigod in such a short time.

If Butis had not fallen into the trap and suffered a series of "mental plague", "Sleeping Beauty", "frenzy" and fatal blows, and was in a state of madness and dementia, he would have had many opportunities to "teleport" away directly and no one could have stopped him.

In that case, Cattleya and Audrey could only wait for Butis to return to the "safe house", release Fors, wait for the "Eye of Peering" on Fors to give feedback, and then exert influence remotely to create an opportunity for the "magician" lady to summon the historical pore image.

At this moment, facing Butis who was clearly in an out-of-control channel and could not be reversed, and facing his crazy behavior of trying to completely open the "0" level seal, Cattleya in the center of the scene and Audrey hiding outside the woods made similar actions at the same time, that is, they took out a slightly transparent dark spell and read out a word in Giant language:

"star"!

This is a "teleportation" spell, which Klein made himself based on the patterns, logos, and symbols "recorded" in the "Lemanno Travel Notes".

——Since "Source Castle" can mobilize the power of the "Thief" path, there is no reason why it cannot respond to the prayers of the "Apprentice" field!

As for the materials needed for the spell, both Mysticist Cattleya and Traveler Fors had a certain understanding and did not need Mr. Fool to teach them separately.

When Audrey and the other person were about to activate the spell to "teleport" away and were about to come back in a minute or two to check the situation, Butis, with a cruel smile and madness in his eyes, suddenly froze.

No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't open the third layer of the "Box of the Old Days"!

It was extremely heavy, as if it was wrapped and suppressed by layer upon layer of power, and it was impossible to open it.

It made Butis feel like he was trying to open a new world, not a box.

A moment later, he sensed something, the madness in his eyes receded, and emotions of extreme surprise, horror and fear emerged.

Tick, tick. One ball of light after another slid down Butis's body. When they touched the ground, they turned into insects condensed from bright starlight.

These insects bent their bodies into a semicircle, creating a mysterious glow, like a series of illusory doors.

Butis, who was transforming into an incomplete mythical creature, suddenly and uncontrollably collapsed and disintegrated.

With two snaps, his two eyeballs fell to the ground, covered with dust.

These two eyeballs were frozen with unspeakable terror, yet remained sufficiently intact, completely different from other parts of the body.

A Sequence 4 Mystic died just like that.

Bang!

The "Box of the Old Days" with a silver-black surface and inlaid with various gemstones fell next to Butis's eyes, just like the jewelry box commonly seen in aristocratic families.

Above the gray fog, in the ancient palace, Klein breathed a sigh of relief and put down the "Poseidon's Scepter" in his hand with doubt.

He was just about to mobilize the power of the "Source Castle" to promote the "Lightning Storm" at the level of an angel to prevent Butis from opening the third layer of the "Box of the Old Days". As a result, the counterattack of the "Secret Saint" to drag everyone to death failed, and he encountered an unexpected failure at the very beginning.

——After Judgement Xio left the first battlefield, he immediately prayed to Mr. Fool according to the plan. Klein took this as a reminder and found an opportunity to enter the gray fog. He monitored the battle through the crimson stars corresponding to Hermit and Justice.

During the transfer to the second battlefield, "Justice" Audrey also found an opportunity to pray, allowing Klein to use her crimson star to directly interfere with the real world.

This is why Audrey's real body arrived at the destination a little later than the "Hermit" Cattleya.

"According to the 'Magic Mirror' Arrodes, the third layer of this 'Box of the Old Days' hides something terrible. I thought the 'True Creator' gave it to Butis in order to create a terrible disaster at a critical moment to show the true nature of the evil god. Who knew it couldn't be opened at all..." Klein glanced at the deep red star representing the "Magician" and found that it was covered with a layer of black ash and seemed to be solidified, so that he couldn't see the scene inside at all, confirming the status of Miss "Magician".

This was the first time he had encountered such a situation, which showed the complexity and strangeness of the "Box of the Ancients".

The "Sleeping Beauty" magic and "Lance of Longinus" he had seen before also gave him some ideas:

After learning about the extraordinary ability of "Mysterious Reappearance" at a private gathering, Klein overturned his previous speculations about Bernadette's fairy tale magic.

He originally thought that it was something the Emperor had created specifically for his daughter based on the fairy tales of Earth, or that Bernadette had deliberately created it to express her grief after her father's death based on the fairy tales he had told her. But now it seems that the answer should not be this. Some fairy tales before the First Age may be "mysterious".

This means that those fairy tales originated from mysterious events that actually happened. They spread among the people, gradually became stories, and were recorded and processed by writers.

"This corresponds to the prophecy of the stars returning to their positions. Mysteries have never gone away and have always been there. It's just that in the 'Earth Age' before the First Epoch, they were suppressed or sealed by some force...

"If this is true, some of the legends and stories on Earth have another explanation... No wonder there is the 'Spear of Longinus'... I don't know if the Peach Blossom Spring involves mystery. I'll tell Ms. Hermit later and see if she can create new magic based on this...

"I don't know if Bernadette became a 'mysticist' before the emperor's death. If she did, I can't say whether these fairy tale magics were created by the emperor who had reached Sequence 1 of the 'Mystery Voyeur' pathway, or by the 'Mystery Queen' Bernadette herself... But no matter what, the emperor should have discovered in his later years that these fairy tales were also mysterious and that he could draw strength from them. Well, Bernadette doesn't have the corresponding diary, so I can't see the emperor's reaction at the time and the guesses he made...

"Is one of the reasons why he insisted on going to the moon to verify something?

"It's a pity that most myths are false and cannot draw strength from them. The same is true for novels in the Internet age..." Klein sighed slightly, leaned back in his chair, and continued to pay attention to the battlefield.

In the collapsed forest, faced with Butis's change, Cattleya the Hermit and Audrey the Justice tacitly gave up infusing spirituality and used spells.

Audrey, who remained in her "dragonized" state, was still hiding in the darkness outside the woods, on guard against possible accidents and the official demigods who might have sensed something was happening and come to check.

The "Hermit" Cattleya was pushed by the wind towards the area where Butis died, carefully avoiding the "Box of the Old Days".

Since the "Recorder" itself can use multiple abilities, and demigod-level seals often have extremely strong negative effects, Butis left behind only a black pocket in addition to the "Box of the Old Ones", which seemed to be part of the robe he was wearing.

In addition, there were the gathering extraordinary characteristics, two eyeballs and about ten "Star Bugs" - most of the "Star Bugs" were destroyed.

Considering the horror displayed by the "Box of the Old Days" and the fact that Butis was a high-ranking member of the Aurora Society and perhaps had the blessing of God, Cattleya did not pick up those items rashly, fearing that something unexpected would happen and the situation would develop in a bad direction.

When they discussed it in private beforehand, they had discussed how to deal with similar situations. That is, if there was time and opportunity, they would first offer it to Mr. Fool, and then distribute it above the gray fog. After all, many items could bring unknown dangers if touched without knowing the negative effects, and the one Butis had was most likely a "0" level sealed item.

A seal of this level could sometimes cause sudden death simply by knowing its existence and understanding certain information.

According to "Star" Leonard, it is best not to touch, inquire, describe, or spy on such sealed objects. Only a truly high-level being can suppress them.

Without hesitation, Cattleya took out silver candles and other ritual items from the secret pockets of her black robe with purple patterns, and set up the sacrificial ceremony in a simple manner.

During this process, she pinched her lips, blew a whistle, and created an invisible servant to help, and the altar was completed in just ten seconds.

After quickly reciting Mr. Fool's honorific name and using spiritual materials to open the Door of Sacrifice and Bestowal, Cattleya breathed a sigh of relief and asked the invisible servant to bring the Box of the Old Days, the black pocket, the two eyeballs, the aggregated Beyonder Characteristics, and the nine Star Worms, and placed them on the altar.

Amid the whistling sound of the wind, these objects flew up and passed through the illusory door.

Seeing this, Cattleya immediately pinched her lower lip with her thumb and index finger, preparing to whistle again and no longer maintain the existence of the invisible servant.

Amid the whistle, the "servant" remained motionless, as if it had nothing to do with Cattleya.

The eyelids of the Hermit Cattleya twitched slightly, and she clenched her right hand into a half-fist and put it to her mouth, preparing to use the Magic Horn.

At this moment, a group of blazing silver-white electric snakes appeared out of nowhere at the altar. They formed a storm of destruction and wrapped the invisible servant in the middle.

This was soon quelled, and the mutated servants were completely destroyed.

Cattleya exhaled, lowered her head, and sincerely thanked Mr. Fool.

Then, she ended the ceremony according to the procedure, packed up her belongings, and used "Snow White", which was closer to prophecy, to deal with the scene and eliminate all traces.

At this time, "Justice" Audrey had used the previous "teleportation" spell and left the scene.

Cattleya looked around and considered that Mr. Fool might need things to be more ceremonial, so she pulled out a card from the secret pocket of her robe and threw it into the center of the collapsed woods.

The card is half-inserted into the soil, revealing the image of an old man with a pestle and a cane, holding a glass lamp and exploring alone.

Tarot card "The Hermit".

PS: I wish you all a happy last day of 2019.

PS2: I recommend my friend Hengsao Tianya's new book "The Picture of Creation", which is a story of redefining words and changing evolution. It's very interesting, with more than 300,000 words, it's worth a try.
