The Lord Of The Mysteries

The Chapter 207

Dunn sighed.

"I did want to send you away then because I was going to do something involving the secrets of the Church and the Nighthawks. But Kenley's death has me in a mess. Back then, all I could think of was a clumsy excuse. , thus, giving you a chance to witness what I did."

"What secret is that?" Klein pressed, now it became more comfortable.

He had almost forgotten about the threat of the evil god's son, or the existence of the legendary creature outside.

Dunn weighed his words and said, "There may be laws in mysticism. Heh, even though I haven't read many books, I still know what the law means.

"This Law is called 'The Unbreakable Law of Extreme Characteristics.'

"Beyonder's characteristics have never been destroyed or reduced. It's just moving from one carrier to the next."

Klein's eyes were wide open. He suddenly realized and asked in seriousness, "For example, a Sealed Artifact, a mysterious object, or the main ingredient of a potion left behind by the out of control Beyonders?"

"true." Dunn nodded solemnly. "It's not just a case of Beyonders losing control; it's also the same for normal Beyonders after they die."

"Sama ..." Klein pondered over Dunn's description, now having a vague idea of what the Captain was up to.

He suddenly recalled when the clown that matched him died. He remembered a ball of blue blood the size of a thumb hanging next to the corpse of a matching clown. Frye's explanation is that there will always be strange transformations after the Beyonder dies.

Dunn continued with her deep gray eyes, "But what's different from the out-of-control Beyonders is that a dead Beyonder usually won't leave behind materials or objects. I-they are equivalent to potions, potions that correspond to their order. , except that they lack a certain amount of additional ingredients."

Equivalent to potion.Eequivalent to potion! Klein narrowed his eyes as a flash of inspiration flashed through his mind. The endless darkness in his mind was illuminated at that moment.

He suddenly understood many things, figuring out why the path of the Beyonder would not be broken, even if the creatures used as the main ingredients would become extinct.

In addition to using substitutes, one could also use the remains of Beyonders!

That should also be the reason why they only distributed the complete herbs in the higher Order! Another reason was to prevent the formula from being revealed to people who were adept at divination or medium rituals.

Dunn looked into the recreation room and explained in a deep voice, "A few years ago. I suddenly realized the matter, and after interacting with Daly, who had just become a Beyonder, I immediately sent a report to the Sacred Cathedral. The Holy Cathedral told me to keep it a secret and gave me two options. Heh heh, that is also the reason why I, and not Daly, am explaining this to you Whoever exposed this is responsible for it.

"The first choice was to pretend not to know anything, like a large number of Captains and Deacon Nighthawks, and allow the Sacred Cathedral to continue dealing with the remains of Beyonders who died through normal means. The second was for them to give me a unique, simple ritual and corresponding technique. It would allow me to temporarily consume items produced by unique characteristics within a limited period of time. Well, this is only suitable for the same path Sequence at my level or lower.

"This will add to the characteristics of my Beyonder, and I will also become stronger. In terms of ability regarding dreams, my strength right now is not too different from Sequence 6. That was also the reason why I dared to deal with Madam Sharon."

"So that's why. Thinking of something like this exists.." Klein sighed slowly.

He finally understood why he could not give a logical explanation even though he had already tried his best. It was because he did not have all the relevant information and could not fill in the blank.

Yes, this matches the Law of Unbreakable Extreme Characteristics.. Did consuming these characteristics cause a qualitative change in the Captain by continuously collecting them? Klein let his mind wander.

After glancing at him, Dunn smiled bitterly.

"i chose the second option, but not because I wanted to be stronger. If I want to become stronger, quickly digesting potions and accepting progress is the best and most direct way."

"Yes," Klein agreed sincerely. "Consolidating the potion characteristics of the same Sequence will increase the risk of losing control at the same time as it improves your abilities, right?"

Dunn shook her head solemnly. "No, these are the remnants of normal Beyonders and not the out-of-control Beyonders. Well, after I learned the acting method, I realized that it would increase the difficulty of digesting the potion."

"Why are you still going on?" Klein asked in surprise.

Dunn puts her hand in her pocket, intending to pull out her pipe, only to discover that she has left it in her office.

He shook his head and let out a self-deprecating smile.

"I've just said that being stronger is not the reason why I ate their remains."

After saying that, he paused, his eyes wandering into the blue wink of gas lights across from where he stood.

"They're all my partners. We've been through a lot together. We've dealt monsters in the dark and crazy heretics together. Some of them had saved me, and I had saved quite a number of them. We walked together on a quiet night. We fought together in a battle invisible to the general public. We face danger together. We support each other.

"I really can't bear to part with them. I remember that kid, Hitte. He cried the first time we went on a dangerous mission. I remember Adelaide, heh—dia Rozanne's father. He once blocked an evil curse for me with his arm. I remember that woman, Dwayne, and her warm, dawn-like temperament. He would always secretly record the things we encountered. I remember Kenley was someone who knew how to do a lot of things like play seven-string guitar, sing, tell stories, even though he wasn't tall, he was more like a poet than Leonard.

"i hope to continue fighting with them, to continue dealing with monsters in the dark, to deal with crazy heretics, to protect Tingen City with them. So, I chose to eat their remains."

Dunn's gray eyes seemed to be flashing. His reliable and reliable personality was greatly destroyed at that moment.

Her lips curled slightly upwards as she continued, "They are still with me in my dreams. Adelaide loves to read, and she often reads in the solarium. He used to tell me to discipline Rozanne and make her mature faster, to the point that Rozanne complained about me becoming more and more like her father and becoming afraid of me. Hitte is a person who cannot sit still and has to hunt in the forest every day. Dwayne always stood by the window of his room and saw us chatting . Kenley, who recently joined forces, created his own seven-string guitar and sang while strumming it. I miss them so much."

"Captain ..." Klein involuntarily muttered. His eyes became blurry and watery. He could not help but rub his eyes and curse in his heart. Fuck'em. Captain, you're making me cry…

But I finally understood the reason why the Captain was so slow despite using "acting methods.

A few seconds later, he lifted his head and smiled bitterly.

"It's a selfish decision.

"I don't know what the real desires of Adelaide, Kenley, and the others are, and, thus, selfishly make decisions for them.

"I'm a really selfish person."

"No.." Klein shook his head.

…

On the sofa in the reception area, Leonard watched Megose pull a wad of her hair as her expression became increasingly stiff.

Megose looked increasingly agitated as she constantly picked up the glass for a mouthful of water. He looked at Leonard with a contorted expression.

"I don't know why, but suddenly I feel a little unwell."

Leonard Mitchell was about to reply when he suddenly saw Megose grabbing his face. He clawed a piece of meat— a long piece of meat— a piece of flesh covered in blood.

"My face is a little itchy." Megose smiled, a little embarrassed. The tip of his lips spread to his cheekbones, revealing rows of white teeth and bright red gums.

fuckin' hell! Leonard cursed secretly. He felt that the situation was deteriorating too quickly.

His lips twitched, Leonard turned to listen as his expression immediately turned green like steel.

He forced a smile and apologized to Megose, who was clawing at his flesh.

"I have to use the bathroom."

"Al..really.." Megose's tone of voice became smooth.

He rubbed his stomach and said, "My son .. a little restless …"

Leonard did not answer. He accelerated his pace and approached the partition.

After entering the corridor, Leonard stared deeply into the ash box in Dunn Smith's hand and exhaled desperately.

After that, his expression changed firmly.

"Captain, I'm afraid it's too late. We have to deal with Megose and the baby. Otherwise, the entire Tingen would have suffered a terrible loss. This is not something that can be avoided just by evacuating the citizens around us. . I know you've sent such a telegram."

Dunn furrowed her brows and asked, very firmly, "Are you sure the situation has deteriorated to such an extent?"

"Yes. No more than three minutes, Megose will have the mutation, and her child will come down to us" Leonard said in a definite tone.

At the same time, he glanced at the large and thick veins wrapped around Klein's hand and said, "Closed Artefacts 2-105? Let me use it. I can make better use of his abilities."

"Good." Klein did not hesitate to hand the Blood Vessel Thief over to Leonard.

It was something he wanted to do from the start.

At that moment, Dunn pulled his collar and patted his jacket. He spoke in a stern tone, "I'll go with Saint Selena's ashes first. Exit after ten seconds; remember, exit only after you have finished counting to ten. Then, regardless of my condition, aim your strongest attack at Megose and the baby without wasting any time."

With that said, he turned around and walked towards the partition with an ash urn.

"Captain ..." Klein shouted, his lips dry.

"Captain!" Leonard was screaming too.

Dunn stopped and looked back. She had a gentle expression as she said in her soft voice, "Don't worry about me. I'm not alone. Adelaide, Dwayne, Hitte, and Kenley all fought alongside me, no matter what danger I faced. "

He paused for a moment before speaking, his gray eyes soft.

"Not to be too nervous either. We're guarding Tingen City."

His lips curved upwards, forming his usual smile.

After saying those words, he did not stay any longer. He stepped past the partition, his black jacket following behind him.

"Captain!" Klein and Leonard shouted at the same time, their tears falling uncontrollably, but Dunn did not slow down.

We are guards, but also a group of miserable people who are constantly battling threats and madness.
