The Lord Of The Mysteries

The Chapter 206

In the corridor within the deep and quiet dungeon, a bone envoy nearly four meters tall disappeared before Klein's eyes after taking the letter.

When all that was left of the surroundings was a classic gas lamp embedded in the wall, he put away Azik's copper whistle and walked towards Chanis Gate.

As he wrote the letter, he had already decided which Closed Artifact to choose.

First, it was almost impossible for a Class 3 Closed Artifact to have any effect on the baby in Megose's stomach. Unless it was an item like the Mutated Sun Sacred Emblem that had hidden power.

But, at the time, in such a situation, Klein was in no mood to explore or research secrets that might or might not exist. Plus, most Closed Artifacts would bring a certain level of danger to the user. Thus, Klein eliminated a Class 3 Closed Artifact that would weaken the user without affecting the enemy.

Secondly, Tingen Nighthawks did not possess a Class 1 Enclosed Artifact and only three Cla.s.s 2 artifacts. It was originally a secret that Klein should not know, but due to the urgency of the situation, Dunn used an emergency clause and told him the general situation.

Dunn Smith could not hold any other Closed Artifacts at the same time while holding the ashes of Saint Selena.

And behind the Chanis Gate of Tingen City, there were three Class 2 Closed Artifacts: 2-030, 2-078, and 2-105.

Names 2-030 are "Toxins That Are Endless." It came from a Beyonder by the name of Unknown Sequence who suddenly went crazy and cut his wrist to commit suicide. He let his blood flow into an ordinary silver cup. But when his blood dried, the silver cup was not filled, and the liquid in the cup became crystal clear and alluring. It was a temptation that even the Sequence 5 Beyonder failed to resist. After he drank the liquid, he died of poisoning on the spot.

After the person dies, the poison seeps out through his pores and reassembles. The volume was the same as before he drank it. Not one bit.

Dunn said that researchers at the Holy Cathedral suspected that the poison could kill the High Order Extreme. However, the question lies in the fact that it is almost impossible for High Order Extremists to be tempted to drink it. Furthermore, the traits of 2-030 are obvious, so no one will consume them by accident. If one wanted to poison them, they would first have to catch them, seize them, and then force them down their throat. But then, why go through the trouble?

2-030 will constantly tempt the living beings around it to drink it. The user must be fully focused to fight against his strength. The slightest negligence would make one drink poison as if it was natural to do so.

When Dunn finished her description, Klein decided, almost instantly, not to choose the Closed Artifact.

The name 2-078 is "The Door of Death." It looks like a regular wooden door. Every living thing that passed by would die instantly. No High Order Beyonder has ever participated in the test.

It had a lively nature and was constantly trying to escape. It could change its appearance and disguise itself into a preexisting door. If the user makes a mistake, he will lose control. Then, he had to be careful and not go through any doors nearby. He had to try to wait in the original place to ask for help or break through the wall to escape.

Klein thought of using 2-078, but after reevaluating the latter two, he felt that the intuition of the legendary creature would be very sharp and would be able to discern which door was the Door of Death.

In the end, he decided to vote 2-105.

The name of the Sealed Artifact was "Blood Vessel Steal." It looked like a thick and stiff blood vessel. Anyone who touched it, regardless of whether they were protected or not, would lose his life. At first, it will not be obvious. But, if one did not break contact with it, the effect would be noticeable half an hour later. Dunn said that the cult of Order 5 held it for two hours. He went from being a muscular man in his thirties to a hunchback old man who had loose skin, thin white hair, and missing teeth.

The most important feature of 2-105 is that the person wearing it will have the opportunity to steal the ability from the target within a certain distance. Even High-Sequence Beyonders can be robbed of their abilities, but the chances are smaller.

Within a period of ten minutes, the person who was robbed would lose the corresponding ability while the person wearing the item would be able to use the ability skillfully. Ten minutes later, his abilities would be gone, and the person who was robbed would have to wait a few days to recover.

Regardless of whether it worked or not, it would at least increase the chances of success from five percent to ten percent. After all, I am the King of Yellow and Black who has good luck.In addition, our main goal is simply to take precautions and make preparations to deal with the worst case scenario. We do not need to take action. Hopefully reinforcements will arrive soon. Klein stopped outside the duty room, showing no signs of doubt anymore.

About the negative effects of Closed Artifacts 2-105, he was not worried since he did not plan to use the artifact himself…

His plan was to give it to Leonard, as he already had the Blazing Sun Spell and the Azik copper whistle which he did not know if it would still be suppressed.

My dear poet, it is time for you to show your true secret.Klein muttered and saw Seeka Tron standing near the task room.

With her white hair and black eyes, the part-time writer fell silent for a few seconds before saying, "Why don't you guard Chanis Gate? I'm stronger and more experienced than you."

But you don't have Flaring Sun Charms. Klein replied with a smile, “Mistress, I've become Sequence 8.

“Here will also not be safe. There were many Sealed Artifacts that had life properties that were itching to take action. Well, if we fail, the people here will definitely not survive.

"Heh heh, our goal upstairs is to buy some time and wait for reinforcements. It's probably safer than being around Chanis Gate."

A look of Tron pursed her lips slowly and drew a red moon on her chest.

"May the Goddess bless you all."

After a few minutes, he appeared near the door, and he held a thick, blood-soaked, pale vein in his left hand.

Klein stretched out his hand to pick it up, and he immediately felt a faint current flowing down his body.

…

The reception hall of the Blackthorn Security Company.

Leonard had already dispelled the state of his feet from before, and his expression did not look abnormal as he spoke of the newly discovered house that Lanevus had rented before.

"Is that so? She had never told me about it before." Megose replied normally, slightly furrowing her brows.

Then, she grabbed her blonde hair, pulled a handful, and casually threw it into the trash beside her.

Leonard. He gulped with difficulty, and his palms were filled with cold sweat once again.

…

Klein walked up the stairs to the second floor with the Blood Vessel Thief in his left hand.

He looked at the door leading to the Nighthawks dugout, where Dunn Smith was standing quietly in his black jacket. His eyes were gray and deep, just like when they first met.

"Reintroducing myself, Nighthawk, Dunn Smith."

The voice of the past rang out in Klein's ears as a scene of Dunn's corpse by Kenley flashed across his head. There was blood all over his mouth.

He suddenly fell silent and walked over. He raised his left hand and said, "Captain, I chose Closed Artifacts 2-105. I was planning on letting Leonard use it."

Dunn nodded small. He did not ask why but turned around and pointed to his office as he spoke.

"The Sacred Cathedral sends a telegram. They said that they would soon assemble a strong team of Beyonders and ask us to buy as much time as possible and try to wait.

"About that coincidence, they didn't give any answers. I think they haven't had any conclusions yet. Or perhaps, the person handling the telegram was unaware of the real situation and had no way of guessing. You know, we have to make the most of our time. Telegram can't take too long."

"Yes." Yeah." Klein nodded. He drew closer to the partition and looked outside while saying, "What's the situation?"

"Nothing is weird yet." Dunn stared at the Saint ash box in her left hand.

Seeing how Leonard and Megose were having fun chatting, Klein did not interrupt them. He retreated to the Nighthawks' recreation room and faced Dunn with a corridor between them.

Just then, Dunn suddenly laughed self-deprecatingly.

"I forgot something."

"What's that?" Klein replied, confused.

Dunn looked to her side and said, "Daly told me to explain myself to you."

"Huh?" Klein was stunned, as he did not quite understand what the Captain meant.

After two seconds, before Dunn could answer, she suddenly understood.

Madam Daly did not immediately answer because she thought it was unnecessary. He had passed the matter on to the Captain and let him explain himself.

I-that means nothing serious with the Captain!

At this critical point, Klein suddenly felt a surge of excitement bursting within him.
