The Lord Of The Mysteries

Chapter 161

Most of the buildings in Morse City adhered to the style that was popular a hundred years ago. The most eye-catching building in the city is the black cathedral tower.

After finishing the carriage, Klein and the others quickly finished their lunch with bread, toast, bacon, butter, and coffee.

"We can still tolerate about two hours and thirty-five minutes of purification of Closed Artifacts 3-0782." Kenley stood at the door of the church and took out a pocket watch from his suit pocket. "i suggest dealing with the allegedly haunting incident first to prevent the situation from getting worse. Then we can return to the church and take turns watching the Closed Artifacts to recover."

Under normal circumstances, Order Beyonders 9, 8, and 7 would have to stay away from the Sacred Coat of Arms of the Mutated Sun for two hours to fully recover, or at least an hour if they wanted to make a partial recovery.

"Good."

"i don't mind."

Klein and Leonard spoke in unison.

"Then which case should we deal with first?" ask Kenley.

Leonard erased his reckless attitude and said, "Let's start with the old man who lives alone who hears heavy footsteps in his house."

"Why?" Kenley asked instinctively. Klein was also interested in hearing the explanation.

Could this be the intuition of a poet? He mocked Leonard secretly.

Leonard turned his gaze from Kenley's face to Klein's, then looked at Kenley again. She smiles.

"Because it's the closest to the church."

“How do you know that? It wasn't written in the notes.” asked Klein.

Leonard chuckles. “Didn't I go to the bathroom while eating? I met a trainee priest on the way back and spoke. He told me that Noah's house was close to the church—Oh yes, the old man's name was Noah. "

He actually lived up to his name as a Nighthawk who was experienced in terms of carrying out missions. He turned to Kenley and said, "Then let's go to Noah's house first."

"Good." Kenley doesn't mind.

They arrived at Noah's house just a few minutes later…

Noah was an old man with thinning white hair. He had lost his left hand in the war when he was young and had no choice but to leave the army. He returned to his hometown after receiving compensation.

At that moment, he opened the door and looked at the three strangers in front of him before seeing Siur rushing out of the cathedral. He said in a hoarse voice, "Come in, I hope you can solve my problem.I heard that you brought Holy Water, Holy Emblems, silver daggers, and garlic? This is good, my worries have been greatly reduced. Please forgive my babbling, you must understand the condition of an old man after not being able to sleep well for two nights, Oh Goddess, I was so scared all this time that my head felt like it was in a cloud."

Leonard suddenly straightened his back as he entered the house, his eyes scanning the surroundings.

After which, Klein felt a cold aura within the room. It was a trail of activity left behind by ghosts.

"There really are impure creatures here." Kenley was the last person to notice it when he pressed his voice.

"Very weak." Leonard said in a relaxed tone as he retracted his gaze.

The Midnight Poet is a job with relatively high spiritual sensitivity when compared to all the other 8 Sequences in Church records.

"Yes." Yeah." Klein could feel the warmth and purification energy of the Closed Artifact 3-0782 quickly dissipating the evil aura within the room without any difficulty.

At this moment, the people in the city had gathered at Noah's house, all staring curiously at Klein, Leonard, and Kenley.

Cough! Leonard cleared his throat and said, "We have the blessing of the Goddess, those impure creatures will disappear quickly and will not cause any more trouble."

Afterwards, he looked at Klein for him to perform a "purification ritual" for everyone to see.

Why me? Klein looked back.

Of course, he did not know if Leonard understood the intent of his gaze.

But clearly, Leonard understood. He said softly, "You're an expert in rituals."

All right, blame me for being the one who volunteered for this mission. Klein tidied up his clothes and took out Holy Water, Holy Emblems, silver daggers, and garlic from Leonard.

He first placed the Dark Sacred Emblem in front of his chest, then peeled the garlic and tossed his cloves one by one into every corner of the house.

"Hmm, is this how garlic is used to ward off ghosts?"

"This is different from the description in the newspaper …"

"Will this work?"

…

The townspeople who saw them began to discuss, curious and excited, as if they were watching a circus.

Just free! I'm just acting! Klein suddenly felt that he had become a clown. He closed his eyes and splashed holy water onto the ground with a silver dagger.

She splashed water as she walked around the house, reciting the mantra, "Goddess of the Night …

"Secret Mother…

"Emergency of Disaster and Horror …

"Mistress of Silence and Silence …"

…

This typical act of con man shocked everyone present as the townspeople fell silent.

And once people are silent, it's easy for them to realize something they're missing.

"Warm feeling."

"No, I feel like I'm looking at a pure sky …"

"How miraculous is it.. Is this the effect of Holy Water?"

"They really lived up to their name as the priestess of Saint Selena Cathedral!"

"Praise Miss!"

…

The townspeople discussed in whispers. The gazes they gave Klein, Leonard, and Kenley slowly became respectful. Noah also seemed relaxed, not doubting that his problem had been solved.

Closed Artifacts 3-0782 do all the real work here.We actually don't have to do anything to chase away ghosts, all we need to do is stay here for a while. It was neither exhausting nor troublesome at all. After Klein purified the evil aura from every corner of the house, he opened his eyes and put away his silver dagger, drawing the shape of a red moon in front of his chest with a serious expression. "Praise Miss!"

"Praise Miss!" answer the townspeople obediently.

"We still have a lot of things to deal with, but we need absolute silence." Leonard smiled as he looked around.

The townspeople, after witnessing something so professional, did not stay. They retreated from Noah's house like the tide following the Reverend Siur's lead. Even the host had to leave temporarily.

"I actually wanted to take a nap ..." Noah pouted as he walked towards the cathedral.

Leonard took a step forward and closed the door, then turned towards Klein.

"Do a prediction about the cause of this incident."

"No problem." Klein also wanted to find out what he could go to.

I know Mr. Azik did this, but he seems to have a rather superior nature. Haha, someone who can live for 1300 years must have a superior nature. Under such circumstances, without the help of the mysterious space above the gray fog, even I am not sure what revelation I will receive … Klein took out the pen and paper he had brought with him and wrote a divination statement:

"The cause of the haunted house of Noah."

He held onto a piece of paper and walked to the round table. He then sat down, closed his eyes, and leaned back.

Klein suddenly saw a black mausoleum in his hazy and fuzzy dream world.

It was similar to a pyramid, but stood upside down and almost completely buried.

The black fog obscured everything inside the ancient mausoleum.

Klein jerked up and opened his eyes.

"Did you find anything?" Kenley asked with concern.

Klein thought for a moment and described the revelation he had received in his dream without hiding anything. He ended it by saying, "That tomb is definitely not in the style of the Northern Continent, I mean the Fifth Age. I'm kind of an expert in this field."

Leonard nodded, seemingly thinking.

"It was the Inverted Pyramid of the Southern Continent. It represents the underworld's entry from the living world. This was a tomb that only the Descendant of Death could erect for themselves, be it in the Balam Empire in the past, or its satellite states like the Highland Kingdom.

"In some ways, it is a symbol of Death.

"Well, ghosts must be related to death. The results of his prediction were undoubtedly true!"

Ignoring Leonard's ridicule, Klein suddenly had an interesting thought.

Could it be that Pak Azik is a descendant of Death, or could it be that he made a transaction with Death to obtain a long life?

According to a chapter from The Revelation of Evernight, as well as the internal records of Nighthawks, Death is an evil god, who once caused disasters in the Northern Continent at the end of the Fourth Age. These days are called the Pale Era.

Hmm, it is said that Death fell on the combined efforts of the Seven Gods.It is impossible to determine when Lamud Castle was built—but it was impossible to build before the Pale Era.

If there is a connection, then there will be something to investigate regarding the person working behind the scenes, staying at home with a red chimney, and stealing the skull of Mr. Azik's son…

Of course, this could be a reason for the Northern Continent to colonize the Southern Continent. After all, most of the inhabitants of the Southern Continent believed in Death …

The three Nighthawks did not stay for long as they did not find anything. They soon leave Noah's house and begin to deal with two other haunting incidents.

Same process, same result. They quickly cleared the city of the aura of dead spirits, but did not manage to find the cause of all the trouble.

Along the way, Leonard asks the townspeople if any foreigners have entered the city in recent days, but receives negative answers.

Mr Azik is not coming? He must have come and gone in secret without anyone noticing him. She was really careful.When she said that she was going back to Tingen on Wednesday, did she mean these spirits would disappear by themselves today, she said, even if we're not here to deal with it? Klein thought about it as he returned to the entrance of Morse Cathedral with Leonard and Kenley.

They could still last another hour and forty-five minutes with the Sacred Emblem of the Mutated Sun.

"We'll take an hour shift to keep the Artifacts Closed." Klein suppressed the excitement in his heart. He looked at the color of the sky and said, "Let's try going back to Tingen City for dinner."

"No problem." Leonard glanced at Klein and laughed. "But for safety's sake, I suggest that two people keep the Closed Artifact while one rests."

Klein froze for a moment, his mind spinning rapidly. He smiled in return.

"Sure, but in this way, we have to calculate the most logical rotation. Who breaks first? Who's next? And who's the last one? How long will it take us to recover? And how many? Well— I think once we have to create an algorithm with unknown values to set the best way, then compare it to the effectiveness of having one person check it at a time… It is even better if we can compare its efficiency as well. Let's assume first that the unknown value is..”.

"Wait!" Leonard's green eyes were filled with emptiness and fear. “Then, let's take care of them one by one. The person guarding it will stay in the cathedral during his shift, as the radius is quite large. Of course, we should get Priest Siur and rest to stay somewhere else. The other two will stand guard outside the church and prevent others from approaching."

"I share the same opinion." Kenley felt a headache as Klein talked about the math problem.

"Good." Klein nodded, looking as if he had to.

If he can't convince his colleagues, then he must make a deal with Leonard in secret, providing some information about him to make him leave.

But the problem is solved now!
