After taking two steps forward and crossing the coffee table, Klein stretched his body and shook his wrist, but found nothing unusual.

He looked out the oriel window at the gas street lamp that illuminated the dim and gloomy night, and muttered to himself thoughtfully:

"My hands are more dexterous and my movements are more agile. Even if I don't have extraordinary abilities, as long as I study hard, I can become a top magician."

This was his first impression of the changes in himself.

And just as the Nighthawks' internal documents record, if the potion can provide certain magical abilities, then after taking it, the Beyonder himself will be aware of it and understand what exactly it is, just like the corresponding knowledge is infused into the mind through a mysterious way and imprinted in the spirit.

“My head almost exploded just now…” Klein smiled and shook his head, carefully recalling his previous feelings and the corresponding spells.

It must be said that the Magician is indeed a powerful Sequence 7, possessing many magical abilities, and they can all be used quickly.

Among them, there are three that Klein values ​​and likes the most.

At the top of the list is, “harm transfer”!

As long as he doesn't die immediately and his hands can still move, he can transfer the wounds in vital areas to less important places such as the arms, turning fatal injuries into minor ones. This is an extraordinary ability that is very useful for saving lives in actual combat.

The only problem is that at the Sequence 7 stage, the wound can only be transferred to one's own body, and the chance is only once. Perhaps as one's own sequence is improved, it can be transferred to objects or other people... It really feels like magic... Klein imagined the future.

The second spell is "Fire Jump". Within a range of thirty meters, he can flash between the fire he left behind and the original flame, similar to teleportation, which seems to have the help of the special power of the spiritual world.

Well, it can be used very well to perform magic tricks... Klein laughed at himself in his heart with great satisfaction.

More importantly, as he digests the potion and his sequence improves, the range of the "flame jump" will become significantly larger.

The third type of spell's extraordinary ability is the "air bomb" that Klein had seen from the tuxedo clown in the secret society.

The Magician can create air bullets that are as powerful and fast as bullets fired from a custom revolver by snapping his fingers or simulating sounds. Moreover, its effect will also increase with the digestion progress of the potion and the development of its own sequence. Klein suspects that by the time he reaches Sequence 5 or Sequence 4, he will be able to rub the shells with his hands.

"In this way, I don't need to buy another pistol and bullets. No, I still have to buy another one. There are many things that don't require me to expose my extraordinary abilities. Problems that can be solved with a gun are not a problem." Klein nodded slightly and turned to examine other spells and spell-like abilities.

The fourth type is "Paper Man Substitute". At the critical moment, the magician can temporarily turn the paper man he carries into himself and exchange positions with himself. This is a relatively simple substitute spell. In addition to blocking a fatal blow, it can also effectively weaken the damage of the curse.

So this is the purpose of the paper figures that the "Master of Secret Dolls" Rosago carries... He must be very regretful because he was contaminated by the "True Creator" and had no chance to use a substitute... The biggest problem with this spell is that it requires the preparation of materials in advance, that is, relatively finely cut paper figures. In the early days of the Fifth Epoch, Beyonders carrying similar items would undoubtedly be regarded as dark wizards. If they were discovered now, they would most likely be suspected... Klein carefully thought about the uses and limitations of the "paper substitute".

The fifth is a spell-like ability called "fire manipulation". As the name suggests, it can manipulate the flames within a radius of thirty meters around with a simple action. It can also directly ignite certain objects in this range. Once the potion is completely digested or the sequence is promoted, it can also "summon" flames out of thin air.

The sixth is "creating illusions", which is to create near-real illusions with colors, sounds, and smells by influencing the surrounding environment, so as to achieve the effect of confusing the fake with the real thing and deceiving the enemy.

This is considered a magician's specialty... Klein chuckled and walked to the bay window, admiring the night view of the street with great confidence.

The seventh is fake "underwater breathing". Its principle is to create an invisible air tube so that the magician under water can breathe freely and seem to have turned into a so-called fish-man.

The problem is that the air tube has a length limit. At his current stage, Klein can only maintain a depth of about five meters at most. In other words, once the water depth exceeds five meters, he may drown.

Of course, the digestion of the potion and the improvement of the sequence will lead to the growth of the substance of the air capillaries.

The eighth is the spell-like ability "bone softening", which can help the "magician" break free from handcuffs, ropes, and boxes.

They are both special skills! Klein thought happily.

The ninth type is the evolution of the clown's ability to turn paper into flying knives, called "Pulling Paper into Weapons". It can not only turn paper into sharp objects, but also temporarily turn it into weapons such as sticks and bricks.

These are the nine main spells or spell-like abilities of the Magician. Although there are no types that are particularly powerful in both attack and defense, and there are also not enough weird types, they are magical and diverse, allowing Klein's strength to rise to more than one level in an instant, and he is even better at saving his life and escaping.

Moreover, the “Magician” has the skill of fast casting. Extraordinary people in this sequence do not need to chant incantations or infuse spirituality. With just a simple action, they can cast corresponding spells or spell-like abilities.

In addition, the potion also allowed Crane to gain some small tricks, but none of them were very practical.

“He can barely be considered a pretty good Beyonder…” Klein sighed silently.

Just when he was planning to go out for a stroll and stop by the Brave Bar to replenish his revolver and bullets, the crimson moonlight outside the convex window illuminated by the gas street lamps suddenly became deeper and thicker!

Klein looked up in astonishment and discovered that the dark clouds and mist in the sky had dissipated, and a red moon that was slightly larger than a semicircle was clearly visible.

Its outline quickly became fuller, and after just one or two seconds, it turned into a full moon, a blood-red full moon!

And it’s only been a little over two weeks since the last full moon!

According to the normal calendar and astronomy, the next full moon is about ten days away!

Is this a "blood moon"? Klein's lips moved slightly, and he muttered to himself with some relief.

——In this world, the changes of the moon are both regular and irregular.

Normally, it was exactly the same as what Klein had experienced in his previous life, but there were always a few times every year when it would suddenly become round and bright red like blood. Such situations had no logic at all. Sometimes, it would only happen once a year, and sometimes, it would happen four or five times a year.

Neither astronomers nor mystics can explain this phenomenon, nor can they come up with any pattern. They can only ignore this problem temporarily and regard it as one of the mysteries. They also jokingly say that maybe the goddess is just in a bad mood suddenly, and that women's emotional changes are undoubtedly irregular.

Of course, not knowing the cause and being unable to figure out the essence does not mean that there is no summary of the corresponding phenomenon. In mysticism, this situation is called "blood moon". It is believed that it will bring about a rise and outbreak of negative emotions, and that it will strengthen the power of the underworld and the spiritual world. Even if the dead are not awakened, they may crawl out of the grave.

"Is this the second time this year?" Klein stood by the bay window, admiring the clear sky and the bright red full moon. He felt that he was in a very good state.

…………

Inside a house in Cherwood.

Fors Wall, who had not had time to return to her two-bedroom apartment in St. George's District after attending a party tonight, was sitting cross-legged on the sofa in the living room, chewing on a new-style bread with meat and vegetables, thinking about the plot of her next novel with disheveled hair.

Suddenly, she frowned and dropped the food and pen in her hands.

The moonlight shining in through the window grew darker and redder, and Fors's expression became more painful.

Every time the moon is full, she would hear those crazy whispers!

thump!

She fell off the sofa and struggled there with her body twisted.

After a while, she quickly grabbed a handful of hair, but the pain did not relieve the feeling that her head was about to explode, nor did it calm her desire to end her life with a knife.

“Here it comes again…” Fors whispered in pain, her legs twitching and straightening.

She recited the name of the god she believed in with great difficulty, hoping to be saved:

"Great God of Steam and Machinery..."

"You are the essence, the incarnation..."

"You are the protector of the craftsmen..."

"You are the glory of technology, the glory..."

As Fors recited the sutra over and over again, her pain never lessened, but became more and more intense.

Bang!

As she rolled violently, she accidentally knocked over the coffee table, and the books on it scattered to the ground.

Unable to bear it any longer, Fors frantically scratched the wooden legs of the coffee table with her nails, leaving deep scratches one after another and making teeth-grinding creaking sounds.

Bang!

Her nails were broken!

Her hair is growing weirdly long!

At this moment, Fors felt that she would lose control tonight and turn into a monster. She had just recited the names of several gods, but none of them saved her.

"I'm going to die... I'm going to die..." She twisted and rolled, and suddenly saw a piece of paper with ancient Hermes words written on it.

That was the mysterious spell that Xio had discovered from the "History of the Nobility of the Kingdom of Loen"!

Her silent thoughts even attracted what seemed to be evil spirits!

Even if it’s an evil spirit… as long as it can help me… I’m willing to accept it… This thought flashed through Fors’ mind unclearly.

She struggled to look over and whispered with all her strength:

"You don't belong to this era, you fool..."

"Above the gray fog, there is a mysterious ruler..."

"Hold, good luck, the King of Yellow and Black..."

"Save me, save me..."
