After a week's sailing, the "Riptide Seagull" arrived at Olavi Island in the Central Sunian Sea peacefully.
After a short rest here, we plan to set off for the "Sea of Beluga" early tomorrow morning.
In the waters north and east of Olavi Island, the whaling industry is extremely developed. That sea area is called the "Sea of White Whales". The center is the overseas colony of the Fusac Empire, the Gargas Islands, and the capital is Nas
.
Because it is far away from the mainland, and only the whaling industry is the most developed in this sea area, the Fusac military and the Ares Church are in a relatively reduced defense state in this sea area. As long as the pirates do not cause trouble, they can come in and out, and the official power
They all turn a blind eye.
Therefore, this sea area is also known as the paradise of pirates.
There are countless pirates and adventurers operating in this sea area.
And the "Riptide Seagull" will also become one of them.
After spending the night, Roman did not choose to follow some crew members to the shore for activities, but returned to his cabin.
Roman's recent progress in learning Ancient Hermetic is pretty good. The book Roman named "Abraham's Basic Knowledge Notes" is about to come to an end.
In terms of basic occult knowledge, Romance has been slightly supplemented, and it is no longer the same "inverted pyramid" type of knowledge reserve as before.
Roman was studying while planning to start today's divination. Since the previous divination did not get a response, Roman planned to change the wording of divination, "the great god of divination above the gray fog" to "the great being who dominates the gray fog".
, I pray that you will give me divination hints.”
On the one hand, this is more in line with the current situation that the accuracy of divination has become higher after the gray fog appeared on gold coins. On the other hand, it is also in line with the current situation that Klein is just a "great being" and not a real god, which helps to improve the clarity of direction.
.
Roman took out the gold coins as usual and started today's divination.
"The great being who dominates the gray mist, I pray that you will give me accurate hints on divination and tell me whether the notes in front of me are related to the Antigonus family?"
"The great being who dominates the gray mist, I pray that you will give me accurate hints on divination and tell me whether the notes in front of me are related to the Antigonus family?"
…
Above the gray fog, Klein, who had just completed his attempt and responded to Mr. "The Hanged Man", was waiting for the remaining voices to return to calm, and wanted to wrap himself in spirituality and exit the gray fog.
Suddenly, he saw in the gray fog that a certain star that had once flickered suddenly began to flicker violently again, shrinking and expanding slightly.
I heard an illusory and invisible sound spreading in circles.
Klein sat at the top of the long bronze table, his spirituality spread out, and he stretched out his hand to point at the "star".
He saw a somewhat blurry picture.
In the picture, a tall black-haired man wearing a black jacket is sitting in front of a desk. There are some books on the wooden table. He is holding a gold coin with a crown pattern engraved on the surface in his hand and is praying.
He was surrounded by some simple wooden furniture, and the layout didn't look like an ordinary study room or bedroom.
The darker voice of the black-haired man came to my ears, speaking in Hermes, "The great being who dominates the gray mist, I pray that you will give me accurate hints on divination, and tell me whether the notes in front of me are consistent with Antigonus."
Is it family related?”
"Gray Mist", "Notes", "Antigonus"...
Klein, who was worrying about the whereabouts of the Antigonus family notebook and waiting for Backlund Parish to escort the dangerous Level 2 sealed artifact as soon as possible, heard "Antigonus" in the prayer.
With the word "note", I subconsciously wanted to pull the black-haired man above the gray fog to ask about the situation.
But Klein immediately resisted this impulse.
This is not in line with his principles. Klein does not want to force people to go above the gray fog. After all, in this dangerous world, no one wants to be inexplicably involved in mysterious events.
But listening to this man's prayer, Klein thought for a moment, thinking of his previous tragic experience after coming into contact with the Antigonus Family Notes, and felt that it was necessary to give this man a warning to prevent him from suffering the same misfortune.
.
I just don’t know who this man is and whether he will bring me any danger. Klein thought, suddenly slapped his forehead, and laughed in a low voice:
"It seems that I haven't really adapted to the identity of 'divineer' yet!"
Klein sat on the high-backed chair at the head of the long bronze table, stretched out his hand and grabbed it out of thin air, summoned the projection of a pen and white paper, and wrote down the "pendulum method" divination sentence:
"Drawing this man above the gray fog would put me in danger."
Immediately afterwards, Klein took out the projection of the "Pendulum" here from his pocket.
After the swing subsided, Klein half-closed his eyes and silently recited the words on the white paper with a peaceful mind:
"Drawing this man above the gray fog would put me in danger."
…
"Drawing this man above the gray fog would put me in danger."
…
Opening his eyes, he saw the pure citrine pendant swinging slowly, driving the silver chain to rotate counterclockwise.
Counterclockwise, it represents negation and will not bring danger to me.
Klein no longer hesitated, stretched out his right hand, spread his spirituality, and touched the crimson "star".
The gold coin fell into Roman's hand, still with the crown on it face up.
Just when Roman unsurprisingly wanted to end today's divination, the dim gold coin in his hand suddenly burst into a crimson light.
The light was like running water, drowning Roman in an instant.
At the moment when he was completely overwhelmed by the crimson light, Roman vaguely saw a dark red light on his body and instantly curled up.
Above the gray mist, in the grand palace, the long bronze table is mottled and ancient.
Roman's figure appeared in the main hall.
The first time he saw that figure, Klein turned on his spiritual vision and looked over.
Klein saw the man in front of him whose emotional colors were constantly changing.
At first, the emotional color showed obvious fear, even fear, and then there was a flash of anger. After that, the emotional color represented happiness, with excited red and yellow mixed and rolled, and mixed with a bit of calmness and thinking.
of blue mixed in.
In the innermost layer of this man's aura, colors and feelings seem to be completely unified. Deep in his "etheric body" is a dull yellow and red color like dusk.
"His astral body? Or the surface of the 'astral body'? From this point of view, he is not a lucky or unlucky person who accidentally obtained the occult notes, but an extraordinary person, who seems to be even better than Old Neil.
Be strong."
While Klein was observing Roman, Roman finally restrained the sudden surge of strong fear and hatred, calmed down some of his emotions, and resumed rational thinking.
Roman raised his head and saw a figure shrouded in thick gray mist sitting on a high-backed chair at the top of an ancient and mottled bronze long table. This chapter has been completed!
