Mystery: Time Travelers of the Fourth Era

Chapter 475: The duality of recklessness and cowardice

Monday evening.

160 Berklund Street.

Klein was already itching to steal something from St. Samuel's Church.

Klein dared to make a move for two reasons. First, he planned to retreat as soon as possible. Second, Hazel's recent actions seemed to align more and more with his own goals.

Since his debut, Klein's greatest skill has been snatching chestnuts from the fire amidst chaos.

The most powerful thing about St. Samuel's Cathedral is the Saint, Archbishop Anthony. Referring to the assassination of Duke Negan, even the Singer of God from the Church of Storms could be transferred. In addition, Mr. Fool has seen a lot of the world and even bought Mr. Angel's teleportation rune stone in advance.

With all the conditions met, my courage was naturally at its peak.

I'm just looking at Antigonus's Notebooks; I'll return them to the church later.

But if the Jacob family gets their hands on this notebook, it could lead to something bad.

Even if he can't have it, the Jacob family can't have it either.

Moreover, if they could scare Jacob away, it would be good for Hazel and the Macht family. Hazel is now good friends with Melissa, and Klein is also a little worried because Melissa has also been infected with the parasitic disease.

Sigh, if I had known, I shouldn't have given the Black Emperor card to Mr. Angel so readily. If I were to use the Tyrant card, I could easily be tricked by the Extraordinary Characteristics Convergence Law in Backlund, since this is a region where the Church of Storms is very powerful.

Similarly, we can't avoid using it; we can only study it first.

Klein, who had returned to the Gray Fog Space, occupied the area for a while and felt that there were no major problems. This time, he planned to use "The Book of Calamities" and "The Travels of Groselle" to try out the Tyrant card.

Given Catbug's wariness, he wouldn't normally do this, since it's like adding sodium to a chemical experiment. But facing Jacob, an angelic family, and a scepter of life, made Catbug somewhat unsure.

What if, in case, my two fellow villagers help me?

Klein clasped his hands together, shook them twice as if to pay homage to the deceased Elf King and Roselle, then used the Tyrant card as a bookmark to place it in the Book of Calamities, and finally closed the book.

Klein had already read the contents of the Tyrant card. The ascension ritual was particularly interesting, and the authority was quite exaggerated. Not only did it involve the four fundamental forces, but the authority of "matter," which symbolizes "creation," was also terrifying. Matter could be converted into energy, and energy could condense into matter...

This is really outrageous. At least before, Klein never thought that the Tyrant was so omnipotent. The conversion of mass and energy is really hitting the G-spot of modern keyboard warriors. This is not as simple as being an all-rounder in land, sea and air. The scope of omnipotence is too wide. It can even have the home field advantage in the starry sky.

The ascension ceremony of Sequence 1 Thor is also quite problematic, as it involves finding and using the power of lightning to disrupt at least three Sequence 2 angels' ascension ceremonies to Sequence 1.

The ritual is most effective if the corresponding angel belongs to the Hanged Man, White Tower, Dreamer, Sun, or Tyrant pathways.

Klein was very curious about which three victims the Storm Lord had harmed when he advanced to Sequence 1. At that time, the elves and dragons had probably already fallen with the fall of the king, so the victims were unlikely to be the Storm Lord or the Dreamer Path.

The others were more conventional. The advancement ceremony of the Sequence 2 Cataclysm was not to conquer a region or a civilization with a catastrophe, but to stage a catastrophe and stop it at the critical moment, reaping the despair and fear of millions of creatures who were about to be scared to death.

When Shael was young, during the Fourth Age, as a Scourge Elf, or rather, in "The Travels of Grosser," he directly destroyed the civilization in the book. However, the power of the Hall of Honesty corrected the situation, and the civilization automatically refreshed its survivors, helping him to complete the ritual in a roundabout way.

However, in the past, the way elves ascended to higher ranks was to instigate a terrible natural disaster. There was no such thing as someone jumping out to stop the disaster. It is reasonable to suspect that Erxie had made civilized modifications to some traditional rituals.

Klein learned these things after reopening the Book of Calamities. With the Tyrant Card's information input, it was as if many mystical knowledge within the Book of Calamities had been unlocked or awakened, including the ancient extraordinary inheritance methods mastered by the elves, and some experiences and insights summarized by the ancient elves, and so on.

The book devotes a large portion to fully explaining what the primitive era is all about.

There's no magic potion recipe; just eat it according to your feelings. After eating it, your body will feel hot. Do what you feel like and release that heat. After that, you'll naturally become stronger.

Klein was completely baffled. How did these elves manage to eat random special abilities, not hold any rituals, and still manage to become immortal?

The Book of Calamities seems to be even more terrifying.

Klein then tried inserting the Tyrant card as a bookmark into Grosser's Travels. There wasn't much change, except that a dynamic illustration of "Tyrant" Rossell appeared on the blank page. Essentially, the static image on the Tyrant card cover was transformed into a moving image.

When Klein took out the Tyrant card, the animated image on it disappeared. He then put the Tyrant card back into the Book of Calamities, and this time, new content appeared in the Book of Calamities.

This can be considered a ritualistic magic used to pray for power from those in authority.

The superior beings could be higher elves, or simply nature itself.

Klein now has a certain understanding of elves, knowing that they are a race that is close to nature.

This kind of prayer is somewhat similar to the prayers of the local rebels in Bayam to the sea god Kavituwa, hoping to grant their weapons and other items supernatural powers; in essence, it is close to a kind of enchantment.

"But what if I could simultaneously harness the power of the Book of Cataclysms and the Gray Fog Space?"

Once the idea took hold, it was hard to shake off. Klein immediately began experimenting. He was already quite familiar with this method; the paper angels were simply supernatural powers combined with the power of the gray mist that he manipulated, adding to their status... Now he was proficient at it, chanting Elvish incantations, using Elvish rituals to manipulate the power of the Book of Calamities, and then in turn manipulating the power of the gray mist space. The feedback he received certainly couldn't be borne by himself; he needed to find a container with sufficient status that wouldn't be easily destroyed...

Without a second thought, Klein chose the most suitable Tyrant Desecration card, and... streaks of silver lightning and grayish-white mist surged into the Tyrant card; he could clearly feel the Tyrant card's electrical charge.

"Will I run into trouble if I take on the tyrant card myself?"

Klein, who was still at Sequence 5, was quite timid, but he was unwilling to give up without making use of this power. So he turned his attention to "The Travels of Groselle", used the enchanted Tyrant card as a bookmark, and inserted it into the travelogue.

Thus, the "tyrant" Rosell, who was originally a two-dimensional animated image, became a three-dimensional projection, and his aura was quite terrifying.

For a moment, Klein was so frightened that he almost jumped up on the spot, thinking that Old Huang had come back to life.
