Chapter 319: Book of Doomsday
"Mr. 3000 Pounds"... this entire title is truly speechless.
Upon hearing this title, all of Danitz's resentment became stuck.
"We chose a not-so-good time; Bayam has been a bit chaotic lately."
First, there were the struggles between Beyonders caused by the large-scale hunting of Blood Sect members, then the invisible fear brought by that Twilight and the night, and later, evil cultists with ill intentions preaching doomsday doctrines and evil sect theories.
Hmm... there is also a competitive relationship between evil sects; a local evil sect set its sights on their territory due to the withdrawal of the Blood Sect, with various small and large actions occurring constantly, which has aroused the vigilance of the Storm Church.
"The 'Sea God' faith is already usurping the Authority of the 'Lord of Storms'..."
Klein is also organizing the intelligence continuously sent over by the Dream Sect, making various judgments or guesses.
"Moreover, this Blood Sect incident caused too much of a stir; the Blood Sect implicated the Witch Sect, the Rose School of Thought, and the local Sea God faith..."
"The Storm Church might want to take this opportunity to round up all the evil sects in the City of Generosity."
This is truly something the Storm Church would do.
"Uh..." Suddenly, Klein stopped the movements in his hands, and with a natural demeanor, he put down the documents in his hand and walked toward the washroom.
Klein performed the Reverse Four Steps in the washroom, arrived Above the Gray Fog, and saw a deep red "star" constantly expanding within the boundless gray fog.
"Someone triggered the Gray Fog through a medium?"
Klein blinked and extended his Spirituality toward that star.
In that deep red light, Klein saw endless surging seawater and crazily leaping Lightning.
This Lightning was so familiar, making Klein think of the punishment from Arrodes.
And the next moment, all the seawater and Lightning faded away, leaving behind a lady with black hair wearing a Classical Robe.
This black-haired lady was collapsed in front of an altar, writhing in pain and Distortion.
And on that altar was a book.
Klein's gaze shifted to that book, and in a trance, he saw a sea serpent the size of a mountain rolling behind the book!
Its body, as thick as a small hill, was writhing crazily in the seawater, and eerie runes were flowing on its skin.
"This sea serpent..." Klein's gaze was somewhat strange, "It seems to be the 'Sea God' Kavatuwa..."
He had just read the intelligence on this "Sea God," so he wouldn't recognize it wrong.
"Is this book related to the 'Sea God'?" Klein fixed his eyes on that ancient book whose era could not be distinguished, his gaze flickering slightly.
He seemed to hear some kind of terrifying whispering sound in his ears.
No! It wasn't a whispering sound... Relying on his rich experience in courting death, Klein judged that this was not the whispering of an evil god, but a "story" that was an instinct of this book.
It was just that this way of telling a story was far too terrifying, to the extent that anyone who heard the "story" would lose control.
"So that's how it is..." Only then did Klein look at the lady collapsed on the ground; she was the one who triggered this book, heard the story within it, and led to her current state of being on the verge of losing control.
Klein thought for a moment, reached out his hand, and established a mysterious connection with the deep red star.
The figure of this black-haired lady instantly appeared at the side of the long bronze table, sitting on a chair without a master.
And after isolating the "story," the lady's body gradually recovered.
The black-haired lady Above the Gray Fog was somewhat dazed and unable to come back to her senses, while Klein saw the eye representing the "Seer" Pathway through the high-backed chair behind the black-haired lady.
"You used the 'Eye of Mystery' to look at that book?" Klein chuckled; this was truly on par with himself, only he had the Gray Fog to isolate it and wouldn't suffer too much damage, but this lady was different.
Klein reached out and took the Dream Crystal Ball into his hand to fiddle with it, waiting for this lady to recover.
"..." Hearing Klein's words, the black-haired lady quickly came to her senses, instinctively observing everything, and then cast her gaze toward Klein, who was shrouded in the gray fog.
"Did you save me?" The black-haired lady narrowed her eyes slightly and then asked, "How should I address you?"
"You may call me 'Mr. Fool'."
The black-haired lady was slightly startled and lowered her head, "I have heard your name in many places."
"Heh!" Klein was shaken inside, but he had to put on an indifferent attitude and instead asked, "Are you not going to introduce yourself?"
The black-haired lady was silent for two seconds and then replied, "My name is Cattleya, and I have a nickname called 'Admiral of Stars'."
"'Mr. Fool', thank you for saving me; if there is anything you need me to do, you can command me directly."
These words were very sincere, and Klein felt her sincerity.
I always feel that her attitude toward me is a bit strange, as if she is somewhat afraid? Why? Has she heard of the "Fool" somewhere before... Klein keenly noticed this point.
"You can sacrifice that book to me." Klein placed the Dream Crystal Ball in his hand onto the table, and then with a gentle wave of his hand, the sacrificial ritual appeared in front of Cattleya.
"..." Cattleya's pupils shrank as she looked at the sacrificial ritual, her heart churning with terrifying waves; this was a sacrificial ritual for a True God!
She raised her head, about to speak, but saw the Dream Crystal Ball that Klein had placed on the table in front of him.
In just an instant, the knowledge of that Dream Crystal Ball flooded into Cattleya's mind.
"This is?!" Cattleya's eyes widened sharply, receiving that information about the Phantom Realm, and even seeing those Reality tasks and rewards of the Phantom Realm.
Cattleya, who could barely be considered "Phantom Realm Third Generation" and had even played in the deepest parts of the Phantom Realm when she was a child, understood what this crystal ball represented at the first moment and exclaimed in disbelief.
"You can also try to accept the tasks inside." Klein did not answer directly but said indifferently.
"... Yes!" Not knowing what kind of struggle she had gone through, Cattleya lowered her head again.
Afterward, she looked at the other seats and asked Klein, "Respected 'Mr. Fool', are there others here?"
"There are some people like you; they have established a fixed gathering, and I am the witness."
Cattleya answered quickly this time and asked, "Then can I participate?"
"You can, but you must not leak it out without my permission."
"Yes!"
Klein manifested the Tarot Card, and Cattleya chose "Hermit" as expected.
Afterward, Cattleya quickly returned to the Real World; after getting up from the ground, she was silent for several full minutes before she began to perform the sacrificial ritual.
Not long after, this book of extremely high status was sacrificed Above the Gray Fog.
"I hope... my choice was not wrong."
