Mystery: The Undead Don't Die from Linking the Fire

Chapter 13 How to overcome the language barrier?

Klein knew.

I cannot go and ask Yu Jin in person.

Because Ember seems to be watched by the Goddess of Night, he cannot ask her in reality.

That would draw attention to him, which would be detrimental to him in every way.

Only this gray mist can keep out the goddess's intrusion, and only here can one communicate with him.

and so.

Bringing him in is a must.

The problem is—

"How can I bring him in?"

Klein fell into deep thought, then turned his gaze to the 'galaxy' in the distance.

Deep red stars dotted the flowing gray mist like a river of stars.

Two of them seemed to have a subtle connection to him; he knew they were Miss Justice and Mr. Hanged Man.

They were able to get in only because Klein accidentally knocked them over in his panic.

This used up two spots.

Although he, having already become an extraordinary being, could indeed bring in another person.

But how could he confirm whether it was actually embers?

Ultimately, although he knew that these stars corresponded to individuals, he did not know which specific individuals these stars corresponded to.

It is even more unknown whether the embers' "stars" are among them.

What if you accidentally pull the wrong button?

"What should I do?"

Klein was immediately caught in a dilemma.

While it is indeed possible to pull the embers onto the gray fog, the question remains whether it can accurately pull the opponent.

With so many stars here, it's practically impossible to prepare to bring someone in.

"Unless this person's celestial body is so special that I can spot it at a glance."

Klein muttered a complaint under his breath, but he knew it was impossible.

He had carefully observed these stars, and indeed they were all different.

Some of them are very large, some are tiny, some are hidden deep inside, and some float on the surface.

But that still wasn't enough for him to lock onto Ashes.

"Aaaaaah!"

Klein gripped his hair tightly and screamed wildly for a while to vent his frustration.

He didn't want to give up on the idea of ​​bringing Yu Jin in, but he had no idea how to get him in.

"etc!"

Klein seemed to have a sudden realization, his eyes lighting up. "That's right, don't I have a prestigious name?"

"When Miss Justice and Mr. Hanged Man chanted my name, their stars changed accordingly."

"If the embers also chant my name, will their stars change?"

"Yes! This really seems feasible!"

"But the problem now is, how do I get him to recite my name?"

Klein was once again caught in a dilemma.

Aside from the seven righteous gods, most other gods in this world are generally considered to be evil gods.

If the name of an unfamiliar god suddenly appeared before you, how big of a heart would it take for someone to shout it out?

Just as he was secretly fretting, Klein suddenly caught a glimpse of a different color out of the corner of his eye.

He glanced over instinctively.

Among those deep red stars, there is a cluster of burning flames.

The flame was small, so small that its light was almost obscured by the deep red stars.

"Why didn't I notice it all these times before?"

Klein was startled, but quickly filled with doubt.

But he soon figured out the reason—

This is similar to the saying "the moon is bright and the stars are few."

Because the moon is so close, so "big", and so bright, stars that are too far away and therefore much smaller and less bright than the moon are not easily seen.

Now, this cluster of flames is hidden among the deep red stars, its faint light almost imperceptible.

If Klein hadn't been watching so intently, he couldn't have guaranteed that he could accurately locate the crimson star again.

"Is this embers? It makes sense that flames correspond to embers."

Klein was somewhat wary and suspicious.

One reason is that he's unsure whether it's actually embers.

Another reason is that all of this is just too much of a coincidence, isn't it?

Just as he was about to look for the embers, the flames corresponding to the embers appeared in his sight.

How come it's exactly as planned?

This isn't scientific, no, this isn't weird...

Hmm, it is indeed quite bizarre.

"Let's take a gamble!"

Klein hesitated for a long time, but finally gritted his teeth and made a decision.

This might be his only chance; if he misses this opportunity, he might never get another one!

Once he made up his mind, Klein immediately conjured up another piece of parchment and wrote divination statements on it—

"Flame corresponds to embers."

Holding the pendulum and with the pendant hanging low, Klein allowed his mind to quickly settle, becoming quiet and ethereal.

He half-closed his eyes and silently recited the "divination statement" seven times, allowing his spirit to connect with the spiritual realm that reigns supreme.

Feeling the slight tug on the silver chain, Klein opened his eyes and looked at the pendulum:

The citrine pendant is currently rotating clockwise!

This means that the flames do indeed correspond to the embers!

"call!"

Klein breathed a sigh of relief.

Having just dealt with Riel Bieber during the day, he knew that Ember and his men were currently resting to recharge.

So, there shouldn't be any problem pulling him up now.

With that thought in mind, Klein no longer hesitated, stepped forward, and reached out to touch the flame hidden within the crimson star.

In an instant, his spirituality surged forth and poured into the faint flame.

Then.

A figure instantly appeared beside the bronze table and sat in a chair that did not belong to a current member of the Tarot Club.

"It's a success!"

Klein was incredibly excited; he recognized him at a glance.

This is Mr. Ember, whom I met during the day!

"Welcome, Mr. Ember."

Forcibly suppressing his excitement, Klein greeted the newcomer with a smile.

"What?"

Yu Jin frowned slightly as he looked at the figure at the head of the bronze table, shrouded in thick gray mist.

He couldn't understand what the other person was saying.

"Huh? Huh?! Huh?!!!!!"

Klein's pupils contracted sharply; if it weren't for the gray fog concealing him, he would have been completely exposed by now.

The reason he lost his composure was because of those two words the other party uttered!

Without a doubt, it's Chinese!

It's genuine Chinese!

He was the third person, after himself and the legendary Emperor Roselle, who only existed in legends and diaries, to speak Chinese!

"Does the world of Dark Souls speak Chinese? That's impossible!"

"What does it have to do with Chinese voice acting in a game made by Japanese people?"

"I even need a Chinese localization to play this game!"

"call!"

"Calm down, calm down, we can't expose ourselves!"

Klein took another deep breath, then, as if he had expected this, spoke in a soft and calm tone, "You can call me 'The Fool'."

He assumed that Yu Jin hadn't heard what he said.

But given the pretentious nature of the "Fool," he couldn't repeat himself, so he had no choice but to continue pretending.

"What on earth are you talking about?"

Yu Jin's brows remained furrowed, because he couldn't understand a word the other person was saying.

"Can't understand??!"

Klein was stunned, even somewhat doubting his own existence.

Wasn't he speaking Rune? Didn't they speak Rune during the day?

Why can't you understand this part?

You're not acting like this, are you?!

PS: Let me explain the issue of recruiting people.

First, before Konstantin becomes an Extraordinary, he can recruit two people: Justice and the Hanged Man.

Ordinary people: 2 slots, 2 members.

Secondly, let's start from the original text:

Volume One, Chapter Seventy-Seven:

Moreover, after becoming a "diviner" and gaining extraordinary power, Klein also realized that he had gained a deeper understanding of that mysterious space. For example, he could recruit another member to join the gathering.

At this time, Ksong had just become an extraordinary being.

Sequence 9: 3 slots available, 2 members.

Volume Two, Chapter Thirteen:

"But there are limitations. With my current capabilities, I can only establish one more connection at most."

At this time, Konstantin had just advanced to Sequence 8 and had not been in Backlund for long. He had already pulled Hugh onto the Gray Fog, but he hadn't let her participate in the Tarot Meeting; she still needed to be "tested," and now he could pull another one.

Sequence 8: 5 slots available, 4 members.

Volume 2, Chapter 241:

"Including those we haven't taken on yet, we can probably bring in four more new members, but we don't have a target yet."

At this point, including Justice, the Hanged Man, the Sun, the Magician, and Hugh, who was pulled but not completely pulled, there are now five people.

Sequence 6: 9 slots available, 5 members.

In summary, the squid also strictly follows the rule that each sequence can add 2 slots, with one slot added for advancement and complete digestion of the potion.
