Mystery: Undead don't die from passing fire

Chapter 154 Cash is still...

At the junction of Hillston District and Jowood District, at ten o'clock in the morning, in a small booth of a coffee shop.

Ember pushed open the door of the compartment, and there was a young man inside.He looked to be in his 20s, with eyes similar to those of an old lady. In the increasingly cold weather, he was wearing a black double-breasted long dress popular among the gentlemen in Backlund, a half-height silk top hat, and a Participating in a banquet-like bow tie, it seems that any scene will never relax its requirements on itself.

"I ordered you a cup of coffee."

Klein said with a smile, "I don't know if it suits your taste."

Ember glanced at the coffee and immediately recognized that it was the cheapest coffee in South Wales.Not bad quality, but just below average.But he didn't come here to satisfy his appetite, so he didn't say anything, turned around and sat down opposite Klein, and asked casually:
"Is this the only outfit you have?"

"..."

Klein was taken aback for a moment, then seriously replied:
"No, I have two sets, but in exactly the same style."

"Very reasonable." Ember slightly nodded in agreement.

Klein felt that the embers seemed to be a metaphor for something, and felt uncomfortable, so he immediately changed the subject and said:
"How is the situation in Amon's Mausoleum?"

Ember pondered for two seconds, and said concisely:
"I met Amon there."

"Amon?"

Klein felt chills down his spine, and blurted out, "That Amon in Land Abandoned by God?"

"There has always been only one Amon."

Hearing Ember's 'answer', Klein took a breath and couldn't help asking:
"What do you mean? The entire Amon family in the Fourth Epoch is fake, and there is only Amon from the beginning to the end? Everyone else is his avatar?"

"Ah."

Ember nodded slightly, and the answer was concise and clear.Although Klein had long been mentally prepared, his spirit tensed up, and he felt a chill all over his body.At the same time, Klein was a little thankful, thankful that he did not recklessly explore Amon's tomb, but instead informed Ember to dig the grave.Otherwise, Mr. 'Fool' may have changed.

Klein thought for a while, and asked with some hope:
"You killed Amon?"

Ember shook her head and said, "His main body will not easily come to the Northern Continent, it's just clones."

"I can't even deal with a clone."

Klein laughed at himself from the bottom of his heart, and then asked calmly, "What strength is Amon's clone?"

If it was Sequence 5, he might also have the opportunity to touch a single clone.

Ember glanced at Klein, seeming to see through his thoughts, and said directly:

"Amon's clone is the weakest and has Sequence 4, and each clone has the ability to continue to differentiate. They can even parasitize tiny organisms in the air that are invisible to the naked eye. So..."

Ember paused, then continued, "If you accidentally run into Amon, my suggestion is to walk around."

Klein immediately dispelled the fluke in his heart, and nodded solemnly without hesitation.His heart is a bit heavy, even the weakest clone has Sequence 4, and it can continue to differentiate. If it happens to him, it will definitely be a dead end, and he won't even know when he will be parasitized.

And once he was parasitized without knowing it, and at the same time returned to the gray mist in ignorance, the 'fool' would definitely change people immediately.

Moreover, I have been a little swollen recently!This is only Sequence 6, how dare you even think about bumping into Amon's clone? !Klein learned from the painful experience, and felt that his emotions were really bad, and he must be cautious and cautious in his actions in the future!
In short, it is one word, from the heart!
Ember gave Klein a period of time to digest, and then said:

"The total value of this exploration is about [-] gold pounds. According to the agreement, you can get one-tenth of it, which is [-] pounds. Cash or equivalent extraordinary materials? Or extraordinary characteristics?"

Klein thought for a while, and asked, "Does it have the extraordinary characteristics of a marionette master? Or the dust of the ancient wraith + the core crystallization of the six-winged gargoyle?"

"No."

Klein said directly: "It's still cash."

If he was still a 'magician', he might still need the characteristics of a human-skinned shadow, but right now he has become a faceless man.He doesn't have the extraordinary materials to be promoted to the secret puppet master, and other things are useless to him, so it's better to ask for cash directly.

Ember nodded slightly, and between waving hands, with the flickering light, a large amount of Extraordinary materials and Extraordinary characteristics appeared on the table, and said:

"You can sacrifice these to Mister Fool, and then give them to Mister 'Hanged Man'. After Mr. 'Hanged Man' sells them for cash, you can get your part from it."

Hearing Ember's words, Klein's eyes twitched.The idea is a good idea, and there is no problem with the train of thought.After all, in the entire Tarot Society, only Mr. 'The Hanged Man' has the most abundant 'sales channels', and it is best to hand over these things to him.

But the only problem is that he can't sacrifice!
Sacrifice must be two-way. In reality, someone must perform the sacrifice ceremony, and someone above the gray fog must answer prayers.In reality, the operation of sacrifice can be performed by anyone, but Klein alone can't do it!
Because he is only one person, and he has no means to separate himself, so he can't both offer sacrifices in reality and answer prayers above the gray mist!Of course, in theory, he could hold a sacrificial ceremony first, and then go above the gray mist to answer prayers.

But first of all, offering sacrifices is different from responding to prayers, and the answer can be delayed. The stable channel created by the sacrifice ceremony can only exist for a short period of time.This means that he waited above the gray fog in advance, and must also stay above the gray fog to use the spiritual stability channel.In that case, he would not be able to complete the sacrifice in reality.

Of course, he has other ways to do the same thing, and that is to summon himself.

But this involves the second problem - it is impossible for him to complete this set of operations in front of Ember.

The corners of Klein's eyes twitched slightly, wishing he could slap himself.If I had known this earlier, I might as well have met Ember above the gray mist as the 'World', how safe and convenient 'Internet dating' is!Why do you have to face the basics when you have nothing to do?Be sick!
But in the current situation, it is clear that the arrow is on the string and has to be launched.Facing Ember's reasonable request, he couldn't refuse at all!

Klein took a deep breath, his thoughts flowed quickly, and he began to think about countermeasures in his mind. After pondering for a moment, he said:

"No problem, but it's not safe to hold a sacrificial ceremony here. Can you go outside and watch for me? I'll call you after it's over."

Klein didn't choose to use euphemistic hints, because he knew that Ember had the ability to 'summon'. If he were a little more tactful, Ember would directly let the summoned go out to guard the gate, wouldn't that be useless?

Of course, there are risks even if you say it clearly, but right now Klein obviously has no better choice.

"can."

Facing Klein's request, Ember just nodded slightly, got up and walked out the door.

Klein finally let go of his hanging heart, took three steps in parallel, and stepped forward to lock the door behind him like a guilty conscience.At the same time, he quickly took out a candle mixed with sandalwood from his pocket-this was originally used just in case, but now it can be regarded as coming in handy.

Klein ignited it with spirituality at will, and it was considered that the altar was set up.

"I--"

"I call in my name:"

"The fool who does not belong to this era, the mysterious ruler above the gray fog, the king of yellow and black who is in charge of good luck."

The sound of the incantation echoed in the small private room, and Klein's spirituality gushed out, blending with the candlelight to form a pale, palm-sized light curtain.Immediately afterwards, he took four steps backwards, penetrated the roar, and entered above the gray mist.

Klein didn't dare to waste time, he immediately responded to his 'call' and pushed open the mysterious door.After the confusion and dizziness, he saw the small but sound-proof private room, and he also saw himself.

Klein came to the table half-floating and half-flying, quickly wrapped the Beyonder materials and Extraordinary characteristics on the table with his spirit body, ended the summoning, and returned directly to the gray mist.As soon as he returned to the gray fog, Klein also quickly wrapped himself with spirituality, fell into the boundless gray fog, and fell into the material world.

Klein came back to his senses and heaved a sigh of relief.

There was no haste to put out the candles, or to call in the embers.

Instead, he waited for a while, guessing that it was almost time, before he got up and walked to the door, grabbed the doorknob and gently pulled it, but the door didn't move at all.

Klein was stunned for a moment before realizing that he locked the door just now.

In embarrassment, Klein unlocked the door and opened it with a light pull.

Then he saw that Ember did not turn her back to the door, but was facing the door of the private room, with deep eyes.

At this moment, Klein even had the illusion of being completely seen through, but neither the 'Faceless Man' nor the 'Joker' could perfectly help him conceal his emotions.So he didn't reveal the slightest flaw, but nodded slightly in a subtle way:

"okay."

While speaking, he stepped aside to let Ember come in.

Ember walked towards the private room, and suddenly said:

"I remember you still owe me two things, right?"

Klein's expression froze immediately, and he said helplessly, "That's right."

Although [-] gold pounds was not impossible for him to repay now, he did not regret the two things he owed Ember.After all, the value of the sacrificial ring must be far more than [-] gold pounds, it is a real resurrection!

But now being mentioned by Ember, he still couldn't avoid embarrassment.After all, being in debt is not a glorious thing - just like the receipt of the ancient tomb, even if he took the money, he would have to pay off the debt of Miss 'Justice' non-stop.

However, Ember suddenly mentioned this, is there anything he can help?
Klein was thinking this, when Ember suddenly nodded his head slightly. He thought he would make a request, but there was no further text.The two of them just drank coffee quietly, bid farewell to each other quietly after drinking coffee, and left in opposite directions.

"This……"

Klein was walking on the street, still a little skeptical about life, "He can't really see anything, can he?"

The more Klein thought about it, the more something was wrong, and the more he thought about it, the more disturbed he felt.

Because he was too nervous at that moment, he ignored some details—for example, how did Ember discover those Amons that were parasitic in tiny organisms that were invisible to the naked eye?
Klein actually has a guess about this, that is 'locking'.

But if it was really locked, then could Ember also 'see' the 'God's descent' of 'The Fool' when she was facing the door of the private room just now?
Moreover, he could have completely rejected Ember's request to pray on the spot just now—

The excuse of not having materials for the ceremony!

But he forgot, he only thought about praying to himself, the ceremony can be simplified as much as possible, just a candle, there is no need for too complicated ceremony.But in Ember's eyes, it is very likely that all of this is full of doubts.

If he connected it all, would he guess something?
The more Klein thought about it, the more suspicious he was about what Ember saw, but it was impossible for him to ask Ember face to face, which made his mentality burst.

Klein took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down, not thinking about these things.Who cares, if you see it, you can see it, and if you are being seen through, he will show it.And Ember didn't say anything?

It would be best if he didn't see anything.And wouldn't it be better if he saw something and still didn't say anything?
Well, that's right, nothing to worry about!
After a wave of self-comfort, Klein's mood calmed down a lot, which also made him subconsciously ignore the idea of ​​divination.

Instead, he quickly began to think about another question:
"Although Ember has explored the mausoleum, other people obviously don't know this. Should I no longer sell this information to Mechanic Heart and get a reward from them? Although the Extraordinary characteristics have been taken away, but among them There should still be some murals and classics, these are also very valuable, and the heart of the machine will definitely not refuse."

"Although the rewards for these things are less than a hundred pounds, no matter how small a mosquito is, it's still meat. And this can also be done by people from the Mechanical Heart, um, perfect."

He took a deep breath, took a carriage at the corner of the street, and went straight to the Bar of the Brave in the Backlund Bridge area.

Among the workers who got off work at noon, Klein ordered a glass of Southwell beer at the bar and ordered a lunch.He finished his lunch in a slow manner, insisted on finishing the glass of Southwell beer he wanted, and then walked slowly through waves of boxers cheering, left the bar, and boarded a cab.

Feeling the rolling of the wheels, he deliberately closed his eyes, and suddenly the sound of the window being tapped sounded in his ears.

Klein's facial muscles moved slightly. He opened his eyes and looked forward. He saw the pale and exquisite Miss Sharron sitting quietly across from her.

Before the other party asked, Klein smiled and said:

"I sold the information you provided last time for a good price, the one from the Amon family mausoleum."

Sharon didn't speak, and looked at him quietly.

Klein paused, then continued:
"The total value is about [-] pounds, and we each have [-] pounds. But those things still need to be realized, and you may have to wait for a while."

She raised her head, said "um", and asked concisely:
"What's in the tomb?"

"Amon!"

Klein's face turned serious, and he said in a deep voice, "That's Amon's mausoleum, and Amon is in it!"

Considering that Miss Sharron is also an ally and has helped him a lot, Klein didn't hide much.Only part of the key information was hidden, and all the part about Amon was told.

And Miss Sharron didn't make a sound, just, as always, resting her chin on one hand and listening intently.

Klein wasn't surprised by this, because he knew that Miss "Wraith" seemed to have a hobby of watching dramas and listening to various rumors.

Klein finally reminded:

"If you accidentally encounter it, you must go around it."

Sharon's expression remained unchanged, she was silent for a few seconds and said:
"Someone is digging a passage to the underground ruins."

"what"

Klein couldn't realize what the other party was talking about for a moment.

But soon he understood what the underground ruins in Sharon's words referred to.

There is only one underground ruin that both of them know, and that is the ruins of the Tudor Dynasty in the Fourth Epoch, in which there is a terrifying evil spirit.

Someone is digging a tunnel to get into that underground building?Klein pondered for a few seconds, and suddenly had a burst of inspiration:
"The what from the Baron?"

"Yes." Sharon replied in the affirmative.

Suddenly, Klein had the urge to call Ember to dig the grave.
