The Lord Of The Mysteries

Chapter 148's

Klein's answer made Daly laugh. A translucent face with only a mouth said, "Although you found inspiration through the proverbial Mystery Pryers and confirmed your theory through my experience and performance, it only took a month to understand the 'acting method' and generate your idea.Viewer's own principle. It shows that you have incredible wisdom and an open mind."

Klein was not involved in the topic that made him guilty, but instead asked in response, "Mistress, do the higher-ups in the church know about the so-called 'acting method?'"

"No doubt, they understood it very clearly. I've read historical information in the church and traced the stories of people who ignored the norm and advanced quickly. I realized that there were more than a few Nighthawks and bishops who had done it, nor was I the most unique. But the ending..” Daly deliberately stopped for a moment, and suddenly sounded heavy-hearted.

"What kind of end do they have?" Klein asked, feeling the pull in his heartstrings.

Could the Church of the Goddess Overnight view the "method of acting" as the seduction of a demon or an evil god?

The transparent face suddenly laughed. "They're pretty good. In addition to some who lost control or were sacrificed in the Beyonder incident, the rest were at least archbishops or high-ranking deacons. Among them, there were also experts who managed to become High-Level Extremists. . In the Church of the Goddess, Order 4 and Order 3 are called Saints, while Order 2 and Order 1 are called Grounded Angels. Of course, every angel was once a Saint."

… Madam Daly, you deliberately tried to scare me earlier .. The corner of Klein's lips twitched before she asked, without hiding her suspicions, "Because the Church has mastered 'the method of acting,' why don't they tell every Nighthawk? Although it would not prevent any Nighthawk from losing control, it would definitely lower the chances and reduce unnecessary losses."

A sense of loss appeared on the translucent face. "I don't know why either. They told me that when I became an archbishop or a high-ranking deacon, I would be able to know his secret. I came here today because I hope you can tell Dunn about the 'acting method'. 'more clearly before you hand over your special request."

Klein wasn't stupid enough to ask why he couldn't do it himself; instead, he said with a thought, "After being noticed by the Church, one must swear to tell no one about 'acting method?'"

“Yes, you must do it in front of the Goddess's sacred objects and swear on her name. It has enough binding power. Trust me, you definitely don't want to know the consequences of a violation. I can only talk about it with people who have mastered 'acting methods, ' like you. Your body language has already given me an answer before you answer; that's why I dare to pronounce that term." Daly made that sinister face sigh.

He paused for a moment before saying, "I only vaguely understood the essence of 'acting' back then and digested the potion very quickly. Yes, among the higher-ups in the Church, using the term 'digesting' to describe the control of the potion was very precise in his words. Anyway, before I made the appointment and found out about the 'acting method,' I didn't have a clear understanding of it, so I couldn't explain it accurately to Dunn and the others.

"I gave up at first. I never thought that I would meet you, an eccentric prodigy who can clearly understand the 'acting method' before handing over a special application—no, a genius."

So that's how you look at me, Mistress ...the corner of Klein's mouth twitched before he solemnly promised, "I originally intended to remind the Captain of the existence of 'acting methods' through my special application. With your explanation, I don't have any further worries."

"Alright, you're a good boy." Daly sounds relaxed.

Madam, you are only about two to three years older than me. Klein inwardly pointed out the mistake in his words.

Without him speaking any further, the see-through creepy face continued, "If you have a problem or anything that needs help, you can write me a letter. Wait for me, heh heh. When I become the Archbishop or the higher-ranking deacons that allow me to understand why the Church hides 'acting methods, ' I will give you a clue whether it is a good thing or a bad thing.

Klein was suddenly excited, and he asked without hesitation, "Mrs, where is your address?"

To him, the more help he got, the more fun it was. Plus, he was a fairly powerful Medium Spirit!

Seeing that Klein was not against the idea at all, Daly was silent for a while before he laughed.

“Our communication does not have to be through the post office, because we will use regular mail. That's very dangerous.

"I'll teach you ritual magic relatively easily.You can use it to summon a special spirit, which is mine. Give her the letter, and it will send it right to me. It wouldn't be faster than a telegram, but faster than a steam locomotive. If you send a message during the day, I'll receive a message in Backlund the same night."

Klein listened to him with full attention. He nodded weakly. "A very pragmatic ritualistic magic."

Daly laughed a little.

“The uniqueness of ritualistic magic is praying to yourself. Gain power from your own spirituality, without going through a god. Therefore, this is quite a secret, but not too powerful.

"… First, you choose herbs and essential oils in the appropriate domain. This was no different from ordinary ritual magic. However, you only need a candle that represents yourself. Then, regarding the mantra, there are three parts. The first part is 'me.' Shouts 'me' in ancient Hermes, Jotun, Dragonish, or Elvish. The second part is 'I call my name.' That part can be said in Hermes. The third part is the exact description of the summoning object. For example, you will use this in the future: 'a wandering spirit of unfounded high dimensional beings ordered by man, a messenger belonging to Daly Simone."

The higher dimensions? In mysticism, this is usually referred to as the spirit world. Klein remembers it as he analyzes ritual procedures.

In that aspect, he could hardly be considered an expert.

The benefit of this kind of ritualistic magic is to avoid summoning gods but to rely solely on one's strength. It achieves various magical effects without the constraints imposed by the god-specific domain. The problem lies in the strength of a person. A weak result for the weak, and a strong result for the strong. Klein felt that he had once again acquired a new knowledge of mysticism that he would never contact in his current Sequence.

Daly repeated his description several times and emphasized solemnly, "Remember, don't change the actual description of the summoning object, or the ritual can easily attract terrifying monsters."

"okay." Klein nodded honestly.

If I change the description of the summoning object to "A Fool who does not belong to this era, a mysterious ruler above the gray fog; a Yellow and Black King who has good luck," what will be called?

Is it completely useless, or will the gray fog suddenly descend, or do I need to respond in that mysterious space?

Will this help me in moving more power from the world over the gray fog?

Will it cause a terrifying chain effect?

Klein still felt a trace of fear after his experiment with the Sacred Emblem of the Mutated Sun. In the end, he followed his intentions and planned to foretell on top of the gray fog before deciding whether he should try or not.

He pondered and asked in interest, "Mistress, if one practices the 'acting method' strictly, how long will it take to switch from Order 8 to Order 7, and how long does it take from Order 7 to Order 6?"

"According to the information I read, it varies from three months to two years for Order 8 to Order 7. It depends on whether you can understand the core spirit and the corresponding principles during the 'acting' process'. From Sequence 7 to Sequence 6 varies from half a year to three years, as well as from Sequence 6 to Sequence 5. As for Sequence 5 to Sequence 4, three to twenty years.” Daly explains roughly.

Klein suddenly smiled.

"So Madam, are you already in Order 6?"

He hears from Dunn that Daly took a year from Sequence 9 Corpse Collector to Sequence 8 Gravedigger. Then, from Gravedigger to Sequence 7 Spirit Medium, he used another year. He has been a Beyonder for five years. In other words, Daly was at the Spirit Medium stage for about three years.

"Yes, that is the reason why I was transferred to the Diocese of Backlund," replied the sinister face of invisibility frankly. "My current job is Spirit Guide. However, I prefer the name Spirit Medium. All right, this little guy's getting tired. Under such circumstances, I will not say 'may the Goddess bless you.' "

"Great dream." Klein pressed his chest, smiled, and bowed.

"No, there won't be any good dreams tonight. I need to hurry back to Backlund. It's not a pleasant experience, it's like being in a relationship with someone you don't like.." Daly's voice gets softer, and a translucent face with no eyes or nose slowly shrank back into the wall without leaving a trace.

The light of the gas lamp suddenly became bright and the darkness disappeared into thin air.

Klein, who activated his Spirit Vision the entire time, watched the change in a daze. It took a while for him to get back to reality.

"Spirit Medium—no, Spirit Guide is very impressive. It can actually conjure up a 'messenger.' I wonder what the specialty of Sequence 7 and Sequence 6 is?" he muttered to himself. Then, he quickly removed the spiritual wall, turned off the gas lamp in his bedroom, and quietly lay in the darkness.

He didn't plan to go into the world over in the gray fog that night, just in case Daly suddenly came back and said Dunn Smith's classic words, "Oh yeah, I forgot one thing."

When that happens, I won't even be able to silence him with death!

…

On the second day, Klein arrived at the Blackthorn Security Company three minutes early.

"Good morning, Klein. The new officer is here!" Rozanne greeted with a beautiful smile.

Klein felt very happy for her.

"Congratulations, Rozanne. The goddess heard your prayer."

"My skin will return to its perfect state!" Rozanne nodded, her eyes beaming in joy.

After they chatted for a while, Klein walked through the partition and knocked on the door to the Captain's office.

"Please come in." Dunn's soft voice sounded.

Klein pushed the door to enter. He saw his Captain sitting instinctively as his gray eyes darkened. As if he was ready for trouble.

Ahems. Klein cleared his throat, put away his hat and wand, and sat down. "Captain, I have something I want to report."

"What's that?" Dunn asked in a heavy voice, her arms crossed.
