Mystery: Starting with the Night Pope.

Chapter 306 The Messenger

Klein had prepared various rituals to summon spirit creatures, and the air was filled with the scents of herbs and essential oils.

He had long admired Mr. Azik's messenger, and now that he had the opportunity to be summoned at public expense, he was determined to give it a try.

The messenger summoning ritual is quite sophisticated, after all, it has been tested and proven over thousands of years of history.

However, the profession of messenger has been greatly affected in the last few centuries. The world of normal people already has a convenient mail system, while the world of extraordinary people has also developed illusionary realms.

That's right, the Fantasy Realm was developed with various functions long ago. It was almost a virtual reality world, filled with all sorts of beautiful and illusory things, and could be called perfect.

Since this is the kind of world, there are naturally other kinds of developments as well.

Because the illusory world is ultimately an illusory world, physical objects cannot be transferred through it, but information can!

As long as a time is agreed upon, two extraordinary individuals located at opposite ends of the world can exchange information in real time.

Many secretive organizations and even churches set up a place in the illusionary world to exchange information.

However, the existence of messengers is also necessary, since they can transport things that cannot be transferred through the illusionary realm, and they are more discreet.

Klein's thoughts wandered for a moment, but he quickly brought them back and began recruiting messengers.

He lit his own candle and said in ancient Hermes:

"I! I summon in my own name, spirits wandering in illusion, benevolent beings at your disposal."

The candle flames suddenly stretched out, illuminating the altar brightly and crimson.

Klein's eyes widened slightly, showing even more interest in the approaching messenger.

In the next instant, his face turned pale, because he felt his spiritual energy being consumed rapidly!

That speed was even more outrageous than his ability to "mirror" a demigod!

"Could it be a big one?" Klein's spiritual intuition didn't sense any danger, so he didn't stop it. Most importantly, he had a strong spiritual connection through his dual pathways.

But he soon realized something was wrong.

Suddenly, a gust of wind swept through the spiritual wall, blowing Klein's silk hat off his head.

Klein's eyes widened immediately, and he quickly cut off his spiritual supply.

"What's going on?!" Klein stared in disbelief at the spiritual creatures that almost filled his room.

Not just one big guy, but a lot of guys!

These spirit beings responded to Klein in a very short time, and then frantically squeezed into the room from the spirit realm.

Although Klein controlled the ritual, he was somewhat intimidated by the dozen or so spirit beings; there were just too many.

These spiritual creatures are also bizarre in shape, including mantis-like creatures, a safe made of bones, humanoid mummies, and even a skeleton that resembles Azik's Bone Messenger.

"Because of my 'Dream' pathway, these spirit beings are very willing to get close to me and want to become my messengers." Klein quickly realized the reason.

At this moment, Klein had a deeper understanding of the titles "Mysterious Succubus" and "Dreamy Tang Monk." He was still just a "figure in a painting" now; what would happen if he became a demigod?!

Not only witches, but also extraordinary beings from other pathways, and even these spirit beings, all have an instinctive desire for "dreams".

Compared to ordinary extraordinary beings, these spirit beings are more sensitive and less rational in controlling themselves. After sensing Klein's aura, they rushed in all at once.

Of course, due to the sacrifice of the summoned beings, these spirit creatures could not harm Klein.

So, these are all applicants, and I can just pick and choose? Klein's smile became a little more reserved.

Klein looked at these spirit creatures and began to assess their various qualities in his mind.

Eliminate those that are slow, those that have little combat power, and those that are too ugly...

As Klein judged these spirit creatures, they were also staring at him, eager to pounce on him.

Click!

Suddenly, the candle flame expanded, startling Klein, who had clearly ended the summoning.

"Is it...you...summoning...me?"

A semi-transparent head emerged from the barrier of the spirit world, with smooth, light gold hair, blood-red eyes, and a striking appearance.

"It looks familiar..." Klein blinked, then saw the hand behind the head, and behind the palm was an intricately patterned cuff, until the whole "person" appeared in front of Klein.

This is an "acquaintance"; Klein had met this person when Triss transferred him to the spirit world.

If it weren't for her presence acting as a deterrent to Triss, he might not have been able to escape successfully.

At that time, he had difficulty moving around, but he still remembered this spirit creature with such a unique appearance.

The headless woman, dressed in an elaborate black dress, stood there quietly, her four drooping heads looking at the other prepared messengers summoned by Klein.

Then, as Klein's lips twitched, the spirit creatures that had been swept by the headless woman's gaze all cowered and fled into the spirit world one after another, not daring to linger there any longer.

Klein: ...

After all the spirit creatures had vanished, the headless woman looked at Klein, awaiting his answer.

"...It was me who summoned you." Klein nodded solemnly.

This headless woman was able to drive away all her competitors with a single glance; she must be incredibly powerful...

Its survivability is beyond doubt. Its appearance is somewhat bizarre, but if you could reconnect its head, it would definitely be beautiful.

"How fast are you traveling in the spirit world?" Klein asked.

"Travel," said one of the headless woman's heads.

Travel? You mean the travels of "travelers"? That's wonderful! Klein's eyes lit up.

"Are you willing to sign a contract and become my messenger?" Klein asked earnestly.

"I can... one... gold coin each time," the messenger stated her price.

Hiss! One gold coin for each message delivered, I can only deliver a maximum of a hundred a week... no! Whoever summons the messenger pays!

They could also get reimbursed by Bishop Truman, who was very wealthy and could afford to support the messenger girl.

"Alright, let's sign the contract." Klein picked up the contract written in ancient Hermes script that he had prepared in advance and added the gold coin clause.

"Use... 'Supreme... Dream'." Just as Klein was about to write down the divine name that would guarantee the validity of the contract, the messenger suddenly spoke.

"Hmm?" Klein was somewhat confused. He had originally intended to use the name of Mr. Azik, the Grim Reaper father.

"Why write 'Supreme Dream'?" Klein thought for a moment, wrote down the honorific title "Supreme Dream", and then asked the messenger.
