The Lord Of The Mysteries

Chapter 173

Before Klein could come up with a new idea, he saw a stiff Maynard raise both his hands up. His body lunged forward to the left amidst the sound of the wind blowing!

In the past, his blunt reaction under sudden and unexpected situations would have made it difficult to avoid this. Even if he was aware of the attack earlier, he would have to roll over to avoid the fast-moving corpse.

But now, Klein could almost react based on instinct. He stepped on with his bright, buttonless leather boots and jumped diagonally onto a high-backed chair.

Since it had only been a day since he had advanced, he was still getting used to his strength, agility, and speed. He accidentally jumped too high into the air and landed on the back of a tall chair!

It was a narrow edge. Klein's heart stiffened as he quickly controlled his body and adjusted his center of gravity.

He faltered for a moment and surprisingly managed to stabilize himself, like a black cat that showed off his balance and calmness.

As he hesitated, he swung his left arm, swinging his staff towards the zombie rib cage as it pounced forward. The attack caused him to lose his balance as he staggered and fell onto the carpet.

Klein stood on a chair as he felt his revolver by raising his right arm. He was trying to pull her out of her scabbard so that she could send silver demon hunter bullets to the zombies in front of her.

But at that moment, he suddenly wondered about the consequences.

If he were to perforate the corpse of MP Maynard, how would he explain the cause of his death to the family of the deceased or House Member who was focusing on this matter?

All I did was knock twice on the body?

As he thought, Klein reached into the pocket of his police uniform and fumbled at the triangular plate.

Requiem Spell. He took out the silver talisman without hesitation and shouted softly at Hermes, "Crimson!"

As a spell echoed within the room, the enchantment began to release an aura of peace. Klein quickly incorporated his spirituality into the talisman and threw it at the struggling Zombie Maynard to wake up.

A cold blue flame appeared, enveloping the triangular plate. The calm and gentle black aura spread rapidly, relieving the anxiety and worry of the soul.

Zombie Maynard stopped there, his eyes staring blankly at the ground. Her saliva dripped onto the carpet.

Klein heaved a sigh of relief and planned to take out the ingredients and set up a ritual to purify the desecrated creature, but suddenly, Maynard once again groaned, groaning, his empty eyes were focused on the left pocket of Klein's police uniform again.

Damn it. Klein jumped from the chair to the window ledge of the oriel.

At the same time, he heard the sound of a chair breaking.

Klein had no choice but to take out a rectangular silver plate.

Sleeping Charm!

It is not just living beings who can sleep well. The dead are in a state of eternal sleep and will only be awakened in unusual circumstances!

In certain books on mysticism, there are even such descriptions of zombies: They sleep during the day and wake up at night.

"Dark red!"

Klein once again recites the mantra in Hermes. He intended to ignore the consequences and shoot the corpse with his gun if it failed again.

The trouble that came later did not matter if he died!

As he felt the silver rectangular plate in his palm turn cold, Klein injected his spirituality into it and threw out his talisman.

Dark red flames lit up his eyes as a light explosive sound echoed around the room.

The gentle force spread out, bringing with it fatigue that affected every living thing. Zombie Maynard had just propped himself up using a chair when he was worried. His eyes closed, and he fell flat on his back.

With what had just happened, Klein did not dare to relax. He immediately took out Amantha extracts distilled from Night vanilla, Slumber flower, and Chamomile, as well as Drago tree bark, and Full Moon Essence Oil made from Moon flowers. He quickly erected an altar of sacrifice.

Right after, he sealed the surrounding area with a wall of spirituality with the help of Holy Night Powder, which included the altar and the sleeping Zombie Maynard.

After silently reciting the mantra and lighting three suitable candles, he dripped a few drops of essential oil extract and spread various powders to the fire. Klein then took a step back and carefully looked at Zombie Maynard. He then read in Hermes,

"Oh Goddess Overnight, more glorious than the stars and more immortal than eternity.

"i pray for your grace.

"i pray that you may see your faithful guardian,

"I pray for the power of crimson.

"i pray for the power of sleep and silence,

"i pray that you purify the unclean around me, the man who was once called John Maynard."

…

"Sleeping flower, the potion of the red moon, please give your power to my spell!"

…

It was as if the midnight breeze was blowing within the walls of spirituality. A thin sheath of black steam began to billow from the Maynard Zombie.

When everything was in order, Klein used his Spirit Vision and prophecy to repeatedly confirm that the zombies would not "wake up" once again.

After seeing the results, his worries subsided. He ended the ritual and removed the walls of spirituality.

"Why did he suddenly come back to life?" Klein stood in front of Maynard, who was on the carpet. He knitted his brows as he looked at the corpse.

For a Beyonder with high spiritual sensitivity, there are clear signs to watch for whether or not the corpse will come back to life, let alone Klein, who is an Astrologer. He often had a premonition about similar things, but what had just happened really shocked him.

Except-unless there are more mysterious influences at play. Klein recalled the scene in his head and vaguely sensed the problem:

Zombie Maynard has tried to attack the left pocket of his police uniform!

Left pocket? Klein moved his black stick to his right palm, then grabbed the pocket with his left hand. He took out an ancient copper whistle that was inside.

It was a copper whistle carved with many mysterious patterns. It was a copper whistle used to summon Azik's messengers.

This copper whistle makes Maynard a zombie? That makes a lot of sense. Even if Lord Azik was not a descendant of Death, he definitely had a certain relationship with Death. It made sense that the objects he brought would produce such an effect. Klein nodded while thinking. He took out a penny of copper and did a quick prophecy about his conclusion.

As he was on the scene, holding relevant objects, and having a wealth of information, he quickly got the results. He saw a copper coin fall into his palm, the portrait facing upwards.

It means yes. To think that Mr. Azik did not remind me to be careful that these things could happen .. Well ... He was amnesiac, so it is not uncommon to forget this. In addition, a copper whistle may not have any negative effects when it hits it. There was a high probability that it was suppressed. I should not carry this copper whistle when I was in the ancient cemetery or castle, a place prone to ghosts. Otherwise, I would only find trouble for myself and the death of the court insane. He then brought the naked Maynard back to bed without much effort.

Seeing the clear mark on the corpse left behind by the punch of the stick, Klein sighed. He covered the corpse with a piece of white cloth and pretended not to notice.

I'll hand this matter over to the police department to address it! Oh, and the two talismans I just used can be considered mission-related expenses, so I can get compensated. He then took a portrait and unlocked the door.

The door opened with a creak and Klein saw Inspector Tolle, who was guarding outside, not allowing anyone to approach.

"What happened just now?" Tolle asked doubtfully and worriedly.

He could faintly hear the action taking place inside the room.

Klein smiled and deliberately said with a slight exaggeration,

"Maynard's Member of Parliament came back to life and tried to hug me with passion."

"Don't joke around like that." Tolle looked inside the room desperately.

"Why so serious?" Klein said, raising his hand. "Because of unconfirmed reasons, Member of Parliament Maynard became a zombie. Well—things that will happen in ghost stories. Fortunately, I haven't left yet, so I used ritual magic to purify the desecration, allowing him to return to his eternal sleep."

"Is this related to the cause of death?" asked Tolle, his expression firm.

"i can't give you an answer to that. I don't even know what the problem is. You should know that in our field, unexplainable things are commonplace," Klein said. He then looked at the portrait in his hand, "When I was performing the intermediate ritual, I saw the scene of Maynard's death. He was involved in some activities that should only be done between husband and wife with this woman. And at ******* her joy, she clutches her chest where the heart is."

"You mean.is that the cause of death?" Tolle gave her a "push" look and "blinked".

"In theory, yes, but you'll have to wait for an autopsy." Klein handed the portrait to Inspector Tolle.

Tolle only glanced at him as he exclaimed, "Madam Sharon!"

Klein looked at him, confused.

"Is he very famous?"

Yes, judging from his appearance and figure, he should be famous.

Tolle looked around and introduced her rather excitedly, "Mrs Sharon is the prettiest widow in Tingen City. She is the most sought after woman in the social environment. She was the second wife of Baron Khoy, but unfortunately became a widow.

"He was welcomed by many new rich merchants and nobles, someone who could be invited to the banquet both by the Conservative party and the New party."

"There are rumors that he and his stepson, the current Baron Khoy, were 'friendly' with many nobles and senior civil servants in Backlund. She's a strong woman. To think that he and Member of Parliament Maynard have such a relationship .. Hehe ..”

To put it simply, she was an outstanding socialite. Klein quietly concluded. He turned and pointed into the room.

"The next part is not included in my job description. How you interrogate Mrs Sharon is none of my business."

"Also, I hit Member of Parliament Maynard with a stick before purification.You must face it and think of an explanation."
