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

Chapter 72 A Fool Who Doesn't Belong to This Era!

Dr. Allen left the ward to prepare for the upcoming surgery.

"I might have to work for a long time. If you can't wait, you can go first."

Fors hesitated for a moment, then whispered something in Ember's ear before turning around and following a nurse to change her clothes.

Meanwhile, Onsett's father also left the ward.

He was going to pay for the surgery.

Only two people remained in the ward.

Will Oncetin lay half-reclined on the hospital bed, while Ember watched him thoughtfully.

"Big brother."

Will Onsett blinked, his expression innocent, and asked, "Was that lady your girlfriend?"

"Maybe it is, maybe it isn't."

Ember calmly answered the boy's question, his gaze remaining fixed on him the entire time.

Will Unsett, the Mercury Serpent

Yu Jin looked up at the boy's head and began to ponder a very serious question.

That's the one in front of me. Can I burn it?

From the perspective of position, it should be sufficient.

While it can burn for a shorter time than characters like Gwyn the Sun King, it's at least on par with Eldridge.

Since no trace of the Black Emperor has been found so far, he doesn't mind burning the other Lords of Cinder first.

Just like during the last time the fire was passed on.

The first to volunteer to go to Turkey Farm may not necessarily be the Undead; it could also be the Twin Princes.

The order doesn't matter.

Just then, Yu Jin's vision blurred, and he saw an endless gray fog, a tall figure residing in a magnificent ancient palace, and a young man praying devoutly.

"A fool who doesn't belong to this era!"

"Please tell Mr. 'Lover' that I need his help!"

"..."

Yu Jin received the image before him and frowned slightly.

The young man's appearance seemed somewhat familiar to him.

That was the extraordinary one he had met in Tingen, Klein.

Excuse me.

Yu Jin immediately pushed open the door to leave the ward, stopped a passing nurse, and asked, "Where's the restroom?"

"there."

The nurse stared at Yu Jin's face for a moment, then pointed towards the washroom.

Meanwhile, Will Uncrestin, who was half-lying on the hospital bed in the ward, silently lowered his head, casting a shadow over his youthful and innocent face.

Beneath the gloom lay a pair of eyes filled with terror.

"What kind of monster is that?! Why can't I see it?"

……

"Clatter!"

Klein's steps were incredibly heavy as he walked down the road leading underground.

He didn't know why Megos was here. He had only met her at the fortune-telling club, and she shouldn't know this address at all.

But whatever has happened, it has already happened.

He couldn't change the established facts; he could only try his best to salvage the situation.

But what can he do when faced with a being that seems to be an evil god?

The captain is only Sequence 7, and he and Leonard are only Sequence 8.

And the baby in Megos's belly is at least a mythical creature!

As his thoughts raced, Klein took a deep breath and decided to make every possible preparation to save himself!

He stopped, took out his divination paper and pen, and wrote a letter to Mr. Azik.

He then blew his whistle, handed the letter to the messenger, and watched him leave.

But he knew it was mostly a waste of time.

He didn't know Mr. Azik's strength, but the chances of him arriving in a short time were extremely slim.

Klein's expression shifted, because he clearly felt that this was not yet safe.

But who else could he turn to for help?

Aside from Mr. Azik, the only person he knew who might be able to help him in this situation was Ember.

He can make contact with the other party through the gray fog.

But it would be unwise to speak to him as a fool.

Fortunately, he may not be without other options.

Klein was heavy-hearted, but he dared not waste any time and immediately adopted a devout posture to begin praying.

"A fool who doesn't belong to this era."

"Please tell Mr. 'Lover' that I need his help!"

"I am about to face a powerful enemy, so I hope that 'Mr. Lover' can lend me a 'Sacrifice Ring'."

"If Mr. Lover grants my request, please recite the name of the Fool five minutes later."

Having done all this, Klein transformed the image from before into a stream of light and transmitted it into the flame that represented the embers.

Klein took a deep breath, knowing this would give away his identity.

But it doesn't matter—

Anyway, Ember had already seen through his connection with "The Fool".

In the eyes of the other party, they are the relatives of the "fool".

So it's reasonable for me to ask him for help now, right?

Having done all this, Klein didn't linger. He quickly headed towards Charles Gate.

He had to retrieve a sealed artifact within five minutes and then respond to Mr. "Lover".

And all of this had to be done before the baby in Megao's belly got "impatient".

He stood in front of the Chanis Gate, waiting for the gatekeeper, Loyaltin, to enter, and after a moment, he took out a large, pale, bloodstained blood vessel from inside.

『2-105』Blood vessel thief.

With the "Vein Thief" wrapped around his left hand, Klein walked down the stairs, step by step, back to the second floor.

Just as he was about to leave the underground, a response came from above the gray fog.

Klein was overjoyed and immediately responded to Ember.

Before the enormous bronze table, there was only Klein, shrouded in gray mist, and the summoned embers.

Klein swallowed hard; he was actually a little nervous.

He was afraid that Yu Jin would see through him.

For example, why didn't Klein directly ask Mr. Fool for help, but instead went around in circles to ask his lover for help through Mr. Fool's power?

For example, why didn't he come to the gray fog in person to meet his 'lover'?

Or rather, why didn't he appear above the gray fog from beginning to end?

Time was too short, and all of this had too many flaws, which Ember might easily see through.

In addition, Klein was already uncertain, which made him even more worried.

However, compared to his anxiety and fear of loss, Yu Jin seemed completely at ease.

"Mr. Fool".

Ember rose and gave a slight bow, then placed a ring on the table. "This is the Sacrifice Ring."

After a pause, Ember asked again, "Mr. 'The Fool,' what weapon is Klein skilled with?"

"A short dagger."

Klein was surprised by the question and immediately replied with delight.

"A short dagger?"

Yu Jin hesitated for two seconds, then suddenly took out a dagger and placed it on the table, saying, "This is a weapon I'm lending him personally. There's no price to pay; he just needs to return it to me afterwards."

[Dark Dagger +10]

Although short swords have low power and short attack range, they are lightweight and can be used for rapid and continuous attacks.

A follow-up attack or backstab after a parry has high critical strike power.

Combat Skill: Shuffle Step

It allows you to move quickly to the enemy's side or behind, and is especially effective when the target is locked on.

PS1: Regarding the protagonist's failure to discover that Klein and "The Fool" are the same person, you can simply understand it as the relationship between "Omen Demon" Malkit and "Omen King" Montgomery. The specifics will be explained later.

PS2: Daggers have almost the highest infusion stats among all short swords with high attributes. Among purely physical enchantable infusions, Sharpness has the highest final stat, but Chaos and Dark infusions can both reach A.
