Chapter 153 The Spirit Klein
Klein looked at the mirror in front of him, which was immersed in a delusional fantasy, and said in a deep voice:
"explain"
On the mirror, after a ripple of water, a series of cheerful silver words emerged:
"Great master, you may seek some help from your, well... friend, or perhaps from him."
"One of the seals used by the Steam Church to seal the Kingdom Museum is related to him, and it is the most reliable loophole in the entire defense system."
"I will also help you cover up the information during the process, ensuring that the people of the Steam Church will not be able to find any useful clues afterward."
As lines of words appeared on the mirror, an image of Cyril sitting in a bright room, flipping through a thick book, also appeared, along with an antique, silver-plated mirror that looked as if it had been cleaved by an axe.
As Klein looked in the mirror, the image of Sirion in the mirror seemed to come alive, his gaze leaving the book in his hands and looking directly at him.
Klein instinctively took a step back, the gaze from his reflection in the mirror sending chills down his spine.
Fortunately, the image in the mirror disappeared in less than a second.
In the clergy's lounge of the Leverage Church, Cyril, who was flipping through a book, paused.
Then he looked up at the stained glass window next to him, his eyes somewhat unfocused.
After a moment, he came to his senses and smiled slightly at his reflection in the stained glass window.
"So that's how it works, that's interesting..."
After muttering to himself, he turned his gaze back to the book in his hands.
He was kept in the church by Ikonser on the grounds that a large number of members of the Mechanical Heart had been drawn away and that there were not enough people available to protect him.
As a believer in steam, he had no reason to refuse the suggestion. In order to avoid sitting in front of the triangular emblem pretending to pray or listening to others pray, he simply picked up a book on mechanics to pass the time and deal with others.
In the bathroom of the budget hotel, on the dimly lit mirror where ripples of water shimmered, a series of stark white words appeared:
"I apologize, my great master, Arodes made a mistake."
"I didn't expect that any images or information about that being would come to life after being looked at; he has just cast his gaze upon me."
However, they have now looked away.
North: "..." Klein looked at the words on the mirror that conveyed a deep sense of fear and didn't know what to say for a moment.
I feel like he's a truly great being, more so than me, this "fool." Even a mere image can come to life after being watched.
This is completely different from the special thing I showed by relying on the space above the gray fog. It's more like... more like he is special in himself, rather than relying on external things like me.
No wonder he could see the gray mist on me...
I hope he only sees the gray fog and hasn't yet associated me with "The Fool".
Composing himself, he looked at the mirror that was still apologizing to him and calmly said:
"Don't worry about it, I've already talked to him."
"Go to the 'Steam' church and find him. Help him with some disguise so that he has time to get away and help me get into the Kingdom Museum."
As soon as he finished speaking, new words appeared on the mirror:
"No problem, great master, I will do my best to complete the task you have assigned me."
"Our great master, we'll see you again soon~"
At the end of the scene, a small figure appears, waving and walking away.
Soon, the mirror returned to normal, reflecting Klein's disguised face again. At the same time, the lights in the bathroom returned to brightness, and the cold wind disappeared.
,
'
After a two-second silence, he looked at himself in the mirror, let out a soft breath, then opened the door and left the bathroom.
In the clergy's lounge at Lever Church.
The stained glass window next to Sirion suddenly darkened, and the bright gas wall lamps in the room flickered a few times.
The next second, silver words appeared on the mirror-like surface formed by the glass:
"Your sublime being, my great, supreme, and esteemed master has commanded me to come to you."
"How can I help you?"
Cyril quietly examined the words that appeared on the glass, and he felt an excitement he had never felt before.
He paused for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "Tell me briefly about your master's plan."
"No problem." Arodes reacted quickly, and lines of words kept appearing on the mirror-like surface formed by the glass.
Finally, it added:
"Sublime being, could you give me a mirror? This glass mirror is neither stable nor convenient for me."
Cyril nodded, turned a few pages in his book, and came to the section with the mirror illustration.
He placed his hand on the page and pulled it back slightly.
An oval-shaped full-length mirror was pulled out of the book out of thin air by him!
He then took out a piece of drawing paper that he always carried with him, on which he had drawn his own portrait.
He flicked his wrist slightly, and the drawing paper flew out, landing on a chair not far away. The surrounding light seemed to be distorted, and the image on the paper stretched and became fuller until it appeared in reality.
Aside from being unable to speak and behaving stiffly, the person who emerged from the painting showed no flaws in appearance, even for those with spiritual vision.
It is also difficult to detect problems.
After doing all this, he turned to look at the mirror he had placed in the corner and gave the instructions:
"I look a bit stiff in the painting, so I need you to help me maintain the disguise to prevent anyone from noticing anything amiss."
He paused slightly, then added seriously, "Control your instincts. I don't want to hear any strange rumors about me within the Steam Church."
Arodes immediately assured him, "No problem, I'll definitely do it!"
Cyril nodded, said nothing more, and turned to walk toward the stained glass window.
The moment he touched the glass window, a wave of ethereal blue water rippled outwards, and his body silently passed through it, entering the mirror world behind the glass.
Kings Road in the West End, less than 200 meters from the Kingdom Museum.
Cyril's image was reflected in the window of a three-story building on the street. He cautiously surveyed the mirrored world around him before returning to reality.
Less than half a minute after he appeared, a transparent figure dressed in a long tailcoat, a top hat, and with face paint, looking like a clown, floated out from the window behind him.
As if sensing something, Cyril turned around and saw a transparent clown floating towards him.
Almost simultaneously, a sliver of electricity flashed in his eyes, and his mental energy surged violently.
"Wait a minute, it's me!"
Sensing the danger, Klein quickly interrupted the attack, which was not yet fully formed.
Cyril:
After a two-second silence, having already realized what was going on, Cyril looked at the clown-dressed spirit in front of him and casually remarked:
"Are you dead?"
"Uh...not yet." Klein quickly shook his head, then gave the explanation he had already prepared:
"This is a special state I enter after communicating with Mr. 'The Fool' through ritual, for times of crisis, or other necessary circumstances."
"We can use Mr. Fool's power to escape our current position directly."
"I suppose this is a special perk for those who are favored; otherwise, I wouldn't dare to steal from the heavily guarded Kingdom Museum."
Sirion paused for a moment. Half of the reason why the Kingdom Museum is now heavily guarded is because of him. If it were a normal level of protection, Klein wouldn't have needed to ask him for help.
After a brief silence, he changed the subject: "Let's get started. I'm not too comfortable with Arodes; it would affect my reputation."
Upon hearing that Cyril mentioned Arrodes, Klein curiously pressed for details:
"What's the deal with that sealed artifact? It seems to have some kind of mental problem, hmm, if it exists."
The "licking mirror" didn't seem to work... He sighed inwardly and deflected the question:
"Go ask them yourself; they should be able to answer everything they know."
After saying that, he stopped answering Klein's questions and reached out to pull out a layer of lightless "black curtain" out of thin air.
Under the cover of night, the "shadow" blended completely into the environment, and Sirion and Klein in his spirit form walked casually toward the Kingdom Museum.
In a blind spot unnoticed by the patrolling security personnel, close to the museum wall, the thick, dark shadows suddenly faded, revealing two human-shaped silhouettes hidden in the shadows.
Cyril paused and looked at the wall in front of him. After examining it for a while, he reached out and pressed his hand against the air, then gently pushed it forward.
Without a sound, a blurry, pale blue door appeared out of thin air.
