Chapter 1231: "Visiting" Everywhere
Emlyn subconsciously looked at the high stool on the other side of the
room, and saw the "exquisite doll."
His eyes immediately revealed a look of amazement, admiration, ardor,
and other mixed emotions. He opened his mouth and almost blurted out the
question of where he could buy such a doll and who was the master behind
this piece of work.
However, he was already an adult and had experienced plenty of things.
He knew that bringing up such a question was very impolite, so he
planned to find an opportunity to ask after the discussion on serious
matters were finished.
Sharron frowned indiscernibly as her body floated up. She bowed at
Reinette Tinekerr and Sherlock Moriarty.
"There's no need for small talk," Klein said simply. "Our initial plan
is this..."
He shared how he would let his historical projection take the initiative
to step into a trap to attract the attention of the Rose School of
Thought and described it in detail.
Sharron with her black bonnet listened quietly and said with a slightly
ethereal voice, "They might not fall for it.
"After realizing that you are the attacker, that Shaman King will likely
choose to retreat under the protection of Sealed Artifacts or angels."
This way, it could only implicate a portion of the Rose School of
Thought's strength.
Without waiting for Klein and Emlyn to respond, Reinette Tinekerr's four
heads opened their mouths and said at a faster pace, "Their..."
"Main..." "Target..." "Should... "Likely..." "Be..." "Me..."
Emlyn was a little lost hearing this, but he could roughly tell that the
spirit world creature that Gehrman Sparrow had summoned had quite a
status. Furthermore, it had a deep relationship with the Rose School of
Thought's temperance faction.
*That's right... Even if the Mother Tree thinks highly of me, the setup
would most likely attract Miss Messenger...* After a moment of
silence, Klein gave an addendum:
"Madam, you and I will attack the other Shaman King in the form of
Historical Void projections."
"..." *Gehrman Sparrow is very respectful towards this spirit world
creature...* Just as this thought flashed through Emlyn's mind,
he saw the eight eyes on the four heads sweep at him.
He shivered and instinctively joined in the discussion.
"Can this fool those from the Rose School of Thought?"
Since Klein had suggested that, he must have thought of a corresponding
solution.
"I have an item that can be lent to Miss Tinekerr."
Having said that, he looked at Reinette Tinekerr and said, "That item
can mimic the Beyonder powers that surface in your mind.
"I hope you can use it to summon your past self, then move yourself into
a concealed state and inject your consciousness into the projection.
This way, the Rose School of Thought won't be able to discover anything
abnormal in a short period of time. It's very likely that they will fall
for it and gather all their strength to surround and kill you and me,
allowing Miss Sharron and Emlyn to find a chance to launch a surprise
attack.
"If they're more cautious than I thought..."
Klein paused for a moment before revealing a smile.
"In that short period of time, if you join forces with me in your peak
condition, there is a chance of killing the Shaman King despite him
being under the protection of a Sealed Artifact.
"Now, the main point is, do you know enough about the Beyonder powers to
summon Historical Void projections, as well as entering into a concealed
state?
"I can demonstrate the former to you, but I will think of a way for the
latter."
Reinette Tinekerr's four heads shook up and down at the same time.
"I..." "Can..." "No..." "Problem..."
"That's the general gist of it. You can confirm the details in the next
few days." Klein silently estimated the time, as if he made his delivery
succinct.
Sharron nodded indiscernibly and said, "The most important thing is
intel. Teacher can provide a portion of it. The rest can be obtained
through magic mirror divination."
Maric echoed, "I remember the symbol you drew back then."
She also remembered that the question posed by the hidden existence
didn't violate much of her privacy, and didn't bring about too much
shame.
Emlyn thought for a moment and carefully asked, "How do we communicate
on both sides?
"If we can't grasp the timing accurately, the plan will definitely
fail."
The Blood Clan's Oath of Rose was unable to transmit what they saw and
heard at such a great distance.
Sharron glanced at Reinette Tinekerr and said, "Teacher's main body can
stay on our side. Ten seconds after 'She' enters a concealed state, we
will take action.
"Once 'She' exits the concealed state, we will immediately leave
regardless of whether we succeed."
"She"... Emlyn jumped in fright as he instinctively turned his
head to look at Gehrman Sparrow.
He remembered very clearly that "She" was summoned by Mr. World.
How terrifying... Emlyn didn't know if he was referring to the
spirit world creature or Gehrman Sparrow.
"After the intelligence gathering is done, you can communicate again."
Seeing that it was almost time, Klein took off his hat and bade
farewell.
Emlyn's lips quivered, but he didn't ask anything in the end. He
followed Gehrman Sparrow out of the house where Sharron and Maric were.
*Miss Messenger actually didn't ask for any gold coins... This is
because I'm helping "Her." If "She" really wants payment, all the gold
coins I have are historical projections. I can only rely on Emlyn... I
have to say, the Bangle of Spirituality that Emlyn provided to Miss
Magician has pretty good effects. On the one hand, it can strengthen
Miss Magician's spirituality, and on the other hand, it can speed up her
spirituality recovery, allowing her to last this long...* Just
as the thoughts ran through Klein's mind, he heard Emlyn asked in
puzzlement, "That ma'am---uh, Miss Sharron is a Sequence 4 demigod of
the Mutant pathway?"
"That's right. The potion's name is Puppet," Klein kindly informed him.
Emlyn was instantly enlightened as he fell silent for two seconds before
saying with a complicated expression, "If only she didn't speak or move,
then she would be perfect."
...If it wasn't for the fact that a Clown could be described as a master
in terms of expression management, Klein nearly spewed a mouthful of
water at Emlyn.
He thought that the other party would praise Miss Sharron's beauty and
doll-like characteristics, showing his infatuation and fervor, but in
the end...
I can't understand what's on this fellow's mind... After
controlling his urge to spew out whatever was in his mouth, Klein sighed
inwardly.
Emlyn glanced at him and seemed to have guessed what he was thinking. He
scoffed and said, "Which two things do you like the most?"
With Gehrman Sparrow's character, he wouldn't have answered such a
mundane question. However, he was still Sherlock Moriarty---a friend of
the vampire in front of him. After some thought, he walked into the
alley and casually said, "Money and delicacies."
"Then, I'll give you a stack of edible gold pounds. Would you like it?"
Emlyn asked further as he walked beside Gehrman Sparrow without any fear
of the crazy adventurer like Miss Magician.
Klein imagined it and felt that this would taint the value of the gold
pounds, but also caused the delicacies to lose their attractiveness.
Hence, he slowly shook his head.
"So..." The corners of Emlyn's mouth curled up. "Although I also like
exquisite, beautiful dolls and pure girls, if they were to combine
together, it would inevitably make me find it a little odd. Yes, I
believe that every doll of mine has their own character and story. If
they suddenly come to life and not be like what I imagined. I would be
very disappointed and worried... Of course, if I had the chance to
obtain the Puppet potion and sprinkle some on all my puppets, I might
try it..."
As Emlyn spoke of his contradictory thoughts, he acted like a
philosopher.
*If Miss Justice were here, she should be able to analyze Emlyn's mental
state from such a reaction...* Before he could respond, Klein's
figure instantly faded and vanished.
In the rental apartment where Fors and Xio lived.
In front of the fireplace, Fors leaned back against the reclining chair
with a pale face. She pulled up the wool blanket covering her body and,
with the help of Cogitation, entered a deep sleep.
Two hours later, she woke up feeling energized, but there was still some
fatigue on her face.
This Miss Magician took a slow, deep breath and extended her hand again,
pulling Gehrman Sparrow out of the air in front of her.
Half of her demigod-level "Records" were the summoning of Historical
Void projections.
Klein glanced at her. This time, without even nodding his head, he
directly "Teleported" out of the house and entered an empty room in a
hotel.
Two hours ago, he had been busy with Emlyn and Miss Sharron's matters.
This time, he had "returned" to Backlund for himself.
Without wasting any time, Klein immediately took out the adventurer's
harmonica and blew it.
When Miss Messenger stepped out of the void once again, Klein recounted
how he wanted to hunt the Dark Demonic Wolf and finally asked, "Do you
have any suggestions?"
Reinette Tinekerr's four blonde, red-eyed heads bobbed up and down at
the same time.
"Sefirah Castle!"
In essence, it's the same as Pallez Zoroast's answer... Klein
pressed curiously, "How?"
"I don't know!" Reinette Tinekerr's four heads answered in unison.
Klein silently exhaled and thanked "Her."
"Sorry to trouble you.
"You can leave now."
The blonde, red-eyed heads held by Reinette Tinekerr immediately
replied:
"Bill..." "Records..." "For..." "1351..."
"September..." "For..." "Gehrman... "Sparrow..."
"Owes..." "Me..." "One..." "Gold coin..."
With that said, "She" turned transparent and returned to the spirit
world.
"..." Klein was stunned for two seconds before he slowly took out his
wallet from his inner pocket and picked up a paper crane.
"I have some questions to ask of you." He wrote on the paper crane he
carried with him.
After doing all of this, Klein lay on the bed and fell asleep.
In the hazy dream world, he once again saw Will Auceptin, who was lying
in a black pram and wrapped in silver silk.
*You're already over a year old. Do you still think you're a baby that's
a few months old?* Pretending that he didn't see him sucking his
fingers, Klein quickly described his conundrum.
The plump Will Auceptin retracted his thumb and sized up Klein.
"Isn't the answer obvious?"
"Ah?" Klein was pleasantly surprised and puzzled.
Will Auceptin smiled and said, "You must've been eating too few desserts
recently, causing your memory to be bad... Do you still remember what
happens to a Beyonder below an angel of the Fate pathway when they see
you directly?"
This... Klein's eyes lit up.
