Mystery: Undead don't die from passing fire

Chapter 280 Help
Above the gray mist, Klein was at the head of the long bronze table. In front of him was a notebook made of hard paper that was completely dyed black. It smelled ancient and far away.

Klein couldn't be more familiar with this notebook!

"The Notes of the Antigonus Family."

Klein murmured in a low voice, his gaze a bit complicated.

Everything starts with this notebook.

'Klein Moretti' died because of this notebook, so he was resurrected in Klein Moretti's body.And it was precisely because of his connection with this notebook that he was able to join the Nighthawks and become a Beyonder, a diviner.

And the book itself was part of Ince Zangwill's conspiracy.

Everything started from this notebook, and the moment he set foot in the extraordinary world, it was already doomed to have an indissoluble bond between him and this notebook.

Klein took a deep breath, and resolutely opened the notebook:
"Show me where your limit is!"

He knew that the potion formula of the 'Seer' path was recorded in the notes of the Antigonus family, but he didn't know where the sequence recorded was the highest.

If it only reaches Sequence 5, then this notebook is meaningless to him.

Fortunately, judging from the results of divination, the potion formula recorded in this notebook can at least reach Sequence 4.

Klein now only hopes that it can record potion formulas of Sequence 3 or higher, so that he no longer has to worry about potion formulas.

"Sequence 4: Crafty Mage.

"Main materials: the main eye of a trick monster, the real soul body of a predator in the spirit world.

"Auxiliary materials: 200ml of blood from treacherous monsters, 30g of dust from spiritual predators, 10g of red birch bark, a piece of golden vine, a self-made rubber mask the size of a finger.

"Ascension Ceremony: Mainly relying on one's own strength and planning, under the witness of many audiences, directing a grand drama, in order to murder a demigod or equivalent extraordinary creature, and then, at the end of the drama, consume the demon medicine."

With almost no obstacles, Klein successfully obtained the potion formula of Sequence 4.

But at the same time, there were other things that flooded into his mind!
Klein felt that his head was swelling, and there was a tendency to be split. There were countless double images of everything he saw, and an ethereal whisper came from something in his ears:

"Honakis...Freguera...Honakis...Freguera...Honakis...Freguera..."

The gray sky and earth split open, and he saw a majestic mountain peak soaring into the sky.

At the top of the mountain, there is a collapsed and decaying palace, the walls are covered with weeds and moss, and there are obvious holes.

In the hall of the palace, there is a huge seat carved out of stone at the top. It is inlaid with dull gold and precious stones, and it is mostly mottled and damaged.

This is not like a seat prepared for human beings, where countless transparent maggots are huddled together, they are densely intertwined, slowly wriggling, and constantly growing.

And the ravings resounded around the seat.

The voice seems to come through a long time and history, illusory, ethereal, echoing endlessly:
"Honakis...Fregella...Treasure...The Fool..."

Klein's forehead was stabbed, and his heart was quickly filled with the urge to vent and destroy.

Although he is already a faceless man, his self-control ability is far from what he was back then.But the negative emotions brought about by this raving are far stronger than before!

"Treasure!"

Klein gritted his teeth and shouted two words. At this moment, he felt like Gollum holding the Supreme Lord of the Rings, greedy and ugly.

And these are the emotions instilled in him by the notes!
Snapped!
Klein suppressed the discomfort in his body and closed the notebook.

He was sure that this notebook had lost its value almost instantly. The potion formula recorded in it was only up to Sequence 4, and it would not do him any good to read it again.

Subsequent potion formulas are all hidden in the 'treasure' recorded in the notes. If you want to obtain potion formulas of Sequence 3 or higher, you can only find the so-called treasure.

And if you want to get the treasure, you have to go to the main peak of the Hornages Mountains and visit the 'Kingdom of the Night' at the top!
"Your destiny lies on the main peak of the Hornakis Mountains."

Klein once again remembered the prophetic words of 'Queen of Mysteries' Bernadette.

Before, he was a little skeptical about this so-called language, but now he is completely sure——

The notes of the Antigonus family only go up to Sequence 4, and judging from the current loneliness of the Secret Order, most of them do not have the potion formula for Sequence 4.

This is not surprising, any faction has the same attitude towards high-sequence potion formulas.

That is, only finished potions are provided, and the potion formula is completely kept secret.

There may still be a few crafty mages in the secret order, but they definitely don't have the potion formula corresponding to the "crafty mage" in their hands, let alone higher-order potion formulas.

There are only two people who are likely to master higher-order potion formulas——

The group of transparent worms located on the main peak of the Hornages Mountains, on the Throne of the Night.

And the leader of the secret order, Zaratul.

But Zaratul has already gone crazy because of losing control, and his state is probably similar to that group of transparent worms.

Many members of the Secret Order were killed by the crazy Zaratul, looking for him is no different from looking for death.

But in the same way, going to the main peak of the Hornages Mountains is courting death. That group of transparent worms doesn't look like a friendly existence.

"Let's take one step at a time."

Klein rubbed his temples, it was useless to think so much.

It's better to be honestly promoted to Sequence 4——

But well.

Klein's eyes moved slightly, and he wrote the corresponding sentence under the potion formula.

Then, he summoned the pendulum from the pile of debris, held it with his left hand, and started divination.

Not long after, Klein opened his eyes and saw the topaz pendant turning clockwise.

This means that the "Crafty Mage" potion formula in his hand is correct!
Phew... Klein exhaled, as long as there is no problem.

The notes of the Antigonus family made him uneasy. Although everything seemed normal, he always felt that there was a hole in it.

For example, that so-called treasure is definitely a big pit!
Klein thought for a moment, took out his pocket watch and glanced at it. There were still 10 minutes left until three o'clock in the afternoon.
-
Somewhere in the Sunya Sea, the 'Future' sailed on the rough sea.Cattleya stood by the window, looking at the scenery that was so wide that it could not be seen.On the front deck, Nina's angry voice can be heard from time to time, she is scolding Frank Lee for making a bunch of beef-flavored mushrooms that reproduce very quickly and like to eat fish.

Today is another day of the Tarot Society, and last week's conversation with the 'Queen of Mysteries' Bernadette made Cattleya feel a little complicated.Both pleasantly surprised and somewhat disappointed.

At this time, her inspiration was suddenly touched, and she looked down at the desk, only to see a few more yellowed papers there.

"The emperor's diary...she finally sent a messenger..."

Cattleya turned around happily, and picked up the small amount of paper that was more like an initial temptation.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, she who had forcibly memorized those symbols saw the illusory crimson light flooding herself like a tide.

Under the towering dome supported by stone pillars, Cattleya the 'Hermit' saw similar crimson rays rising up and turning into blurred figures.

She didn't take a closer look, but found that the familiar pair of glasses had naturally appeared on the bridge of her nose, which seemed to be a perfect replica of the outside world.

Then, out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of Miss Justice getting up gracefully, and greeted the top of the long bronze table with a brisk tone:

"Good afternoon, Mister Fool~"

Klein seemed infected, and nodded with a smile as a response.

After the greeting from Miss Justice ended, Cattleya the Hermit looked at the top of the long bronze table and said:
"Dear Mister Fool, I have collected five pages of Roselle's diary."

Here we come... Klein's heart moved, and he said calmly and naturally:

"Very well, you can think of a request."

"Yes, Mister Fool."

Cattleya responded with a flawless attitude, and then applied to show the contents of the diary.

Seeing her performance like this, and thinking about her appearance in the dream, Klein was actually quite relieved, just like the head teacher successfully made a student become well-behaved and sensible.

Klein didn't have to wait too long, and the three-page diary materialized and came into his hands.

"February [-]th, today is Bonova's birthday. He is already a healthy, strong, honest, and kind young man. He is so pious and is valued by the church."

"..."

"...cute angel, hehe, really a lovely angel.

"Is this your defense against me?
"Is this how you try to control me?

"No, you probably can't understand the pride in my heart. In my opinion, what about the gods? I can replace them!"

"Brother Emperor can be the Ohm Messiah, but I can't be the Lord of Steam?"

"..."

Looking at the diary submitted by the 'hermit', Klein thought to himself that it was true.

He had been wondering before, why didn't Emperor Roselle's diary become the record of the demigod queen?
This must be impossible because Roselle failed to become a demigod.

At that time, he was already the consul of the Republic of Indis, and later forcibly turned the Republic into an empire and became the emperor himself.It is impossible to do all of this without absolute strength.

At that time, Emperor Roselle was at least already an angel.

Then why is there no diary about this part of the record?
Excluding the possibility that Emperor Roselle did not keep a diary, the only option left is that someone hid the diary.

And the person who hid these diaries now has the answer, and that is Bernadette.

She collected these diaries, but she couldn't understand the words written in the diaries, and she couldn't understand the meaning in them.

In addition, he also read the depression and resentment of Emperor Roselle from the lines in the first two diaries, and used the reading comprehension skills he had cultivated in his previous life to taste some information hidden under the content:
After becoming an angel, the Great Emperor seemed to be restrained and guarded by the Church of Steam. The "God of Steam and Machinery" exerted a certain influence on his youngest son, Bonova, making him the most devout believer who could enter in the future. The perfect place to be the kind of angel.

However, not only did this not make Great Emperor Roselle succumb to his scruples, but instead aroused his desire to fight and want to replace him.

For this reason, the Great Emperor, who was already an angel of the 'Perfect One' pathway at that time, chose to turn to the 'Secret Peer' pathway.Because he judged that the 'hidden sage' is the product of the unique activation of the 'Secret Peer' pathway, which means that the sequence 0 of this pathway is still in a vacant state.

But judging from the records in the third diary, the emperor encountered a bigger change——

The third page of the diary has no dates, and the words are spaced widely.

Because it is the original version, it can also be clearly seen that the weight of the pen is extraordinarily heavy!

Klein glanced, and the contents on the yellowed paper came into his mind:

"No! Impossible!

"how so!
"If my guess is correct, I should not be the only one who suffered like that back then!
"No! No! How could this be!
"What I see tells me that everything will be destroyed, and so will everything I created! No! I don't accept this ending!

"We must work hard to save ourselves, and no longer place illusions on the Seven Gods!

"Only on the throne of Sequence 0, myself and those I value can be saved!"

"Am I going to try to bring Mr. 'Gate' back to the real world? No! Although he claims to only have a Sequence 1, I don't think he is an ordinary Sequence 1! It is very likely to bring me an unexpected disaster! "

"Lakade! Yes! Lakade! I can still ask Lakade for help!"

"No! Can't find Lakad! He also came from... from beyond the sky, and he is with those things!"

"I can only rely on myself!"

The Chinese characters that were much larger than the previous two pages filled the yellowed paper in a sparse and messy manner. The actual content was not much, but Klein's head throbbed after seeing it.

"What did the emperor see that made him so emotional and his attitude so extreme?
"No, the sense of agitation and impulsiveness between the lines is a bit abnormal. It doesn't fit the character image of a person who has been in a high position for a long time, and it doesn't fit the personality of an angel. The emperor at that time was probably already the 'knowledge emperor' of Sequence 1. , What could make a Sequence 1 angel so out of control?
"Even in the last few days, when the Great Emperor told me that he didn't care about the flood after my death, he didn't lose his composure or get so excited.

"Who has he been influenced by? Or polluted or corrupted by what?"

"This pollution comes from 'outside the sky', so he doesn't trust Mr. 'Gate', nor does he trust 'Lakade'."

"Because one of them is outside the sky, and the other is from outside the sky."

"But the emperor still thought of them instinctively, which shows that before that, they were trustworthy in the emperor's heart."

"At least when the emperor was in charge of Intis, they provided him with great help."

"Correspondingly, the emperor didn't mention the Church of Steam and Zaratul, and it also proved that they are not credible in disguise."

"But although Mister 'Gate' and 'Lakade' are credible, they both have something to do with 'Outside the Sky'."

"And just based on this little relationship, it is enough for the emperor to give up asking for help from these two existences that he once trusted so much."

"That's why the emperor is so desperate, hysterical!"

"What is there in the sky? What did he see?"

Countless questions circled in Klein's mind, but he finally forcibly suppressed the doubts and looked at the fourth page of the diary——

Like the third page of the diary, the fourth page of the diary is also extremely short and has no date.

Only this time the font is not as heavy as before:
"The God of Knowledge and Wisdom, I never thought it would be Him!"

"He is willing to cooperate with me, at least to provide help within his capacity."

"That's probably the only thing to be thankful for, even though this kind of help seems a little better than nothing."

"But anyway, it's better than nothing, right?"
