Chapter 162 The Sunshine Is Violent
The faint light shone in from the narrow colored windows on top, making the darkness in Morse Church a little more visible.
With his top hat on his knees and his legs leaning on his cane, Klein sat quietly on the chair in the first row on the left side of the aisle, staring at the altar in front of him.
There is no enshrined statue there, only a huge dark holy emblem, with a deep black background and bright embellishments, surrounded by exactly half of the crimson moon.
On the wall behind the holy emblem, holes were opened one after another. The sunlight from the outside came in and condensed into pure, miniature bright spots. They connected with the surrounding environment that was almost dark, and turned into a sublime starry sky.
Regardless of the goddess of the night, the eternal blazing sun, or the lord of the storm, all the orthodox gods have never left a specific image, and what is enshrined and worshiped can only be their symbols... This seems to be another reason for "not looking directly at the gods". One kind of manifestation...Klein let his thoughts diverge, and didn't rush to create the "Sun Flame Charm" while guarding the sealed item "-0782" alone.
He believes that this kind of thing must be cautious, patient, and wait. In the first ten minutes, Leonard and Kenli may come in at any time to remind certain precautions.
In the extremely quiet atmosphere, time passed quickly. Klein suddenly came back to his senses, took out the silver pocket watch with arabesques, snapped it open, and glanced at it.
Twenty minutes have passed... He whispered silently, put the half-height silk top hat and black silver inlaid walking stick aside, got up and walked to a relatively hidden corner near the altar.
He was facing the side of the altar at first, but when he saw the huge dark holy emblem and the sacred scene that seemed to be projected into the night sky, he felt inexplicably guilty and uncomfortable, so he turned around and turned his back to the altar.
Immediately afterwards, Klein took off the sealed item "-0782" worn on the inside of the black tuxedo, bent down and placed the simple dark gold badge on the ground.
Glancing at the abstract "sun" symbol, Klein took out a small candle mixed with sandalwood and placed it directly under the sealed item "-0782".
This is the dualistic ritual method he "learned" from "Eternal Blazing Sun": use objects closely related to the god to directly symbolize him, and use candles to represent himself.
Taking a breath and relieving his slightly tense emotions, Klein took out the items needed for the ceremony one by one, including a carving knife, two thin pieces of gold, black-edged sunflowers, gold-edged suns "Sun" essential oil blended from flower, sunflower, kraurana powder, and rosemary powder.
After doing all this, Klein skillfully used the ritual silver dagger to guide the flow of spirituality, and circled around the crude "altar".
Creates an invisible, airtight wall.
He squatted down, put away the silver dagger, stretched out his right hand, and lit the candle that symbolized himself in a spiritual friction.
In the flickering and dim yellow light, Klein picked up the "sun" essential oil and dropped a drop into the candle.
After a while, the illusory fog spread, with a little sunshine.
After burning the kumquat and rosemary powder, Klein stood up with a carving knife and gold flakes, took a step back, and recited in the ancient Hermes language:
"Blood of the Eternal Sun."
"You are the eternal light, the incarnation of order, the god of contract, and the guardian of business."
...
The Eternal Light, the Incarnation of Order, the God of Contract, and the Guardian of Commerce are all part of the honorable name "Eternal Blazing Sun". Without the prefix "Blood of Eternal Blazing Sun", the ceremony must obtain the response of the gods before it can continue. In that case, Klein doubted that "Eternal Blazing Sun" would recognize him as the disrespectful person looking directly at him. When that time came, Leonard and Kenley would only see a pile of black ashes when they entered.
Moreover, the ceremony must use the ancient Hermes language, a sacrificial language directly derived from nature. Only the unprotected but outstandingly effective it can make the spell bypass the "Eternal Blazing Sun" and point to the "Mutated Sun Sacred Emblem".
At the same time, because he was stealing the power of the gods, Klein couldn't predict whether things would go well in advance. He thought that would allow him to face the gods again, so he could only recite the follow-up incantation cautiously :
"I pray to you;"
"I beseech you to grant me strength;"
"Give me the power to complete the Sun Flame Charm."
"Blood of the Eternal Sun, please pass on your power to my spell..."
"Golden hands, herbs that belong to the sun domain, please pass your power to my spell..."
...
As the incantation came to an end, Klein suddenly felt something light up in front of him.
The dark golden quaint badge burst out with a blazing light, like the sun descending on the earth.
Klein suddenly fell into extreme heat, his hair became hot rapidly, and it seemed that he was about to burn.
His feet seemed to be stepping on the yellow sand after the midday sun, while his face and body were washed and polished time and time again by the gale blowing from all directions.
At this moment, he felt that he had to do something to guide and express that burning power, otherwise, he would become a human candle.
With almost no need to think, Klein raised his hands. With his thoughts burning like hot porridge, relying on the cooperation of spirituality and strong wind, following the guidance of instinctive memory and rituals, he began to draw symbols on both sides of the gold plate with a carving knife. Symbols, corresponding spiritual numbers, magic signs and ancient spells.
Outside the church, Leonard was standing in the shadows, avoiding the direct afternoon sun.
Suddenly, he found that the sun suddenly became fierce, just like the hottest days in early July.
He squinted his eyes and looked at the sky, only to see that the blue "curtain" had no cloud or dust, and it was amazingly quiet.
"Weird weather." Keenli on the other side also noticed the change in the sunlight.
Leonard was waiting to respond with a low smile when he suddenly turned his head.
He frowned slightly, and looked at the church as if examining him.
"It's a good thing Rosanne isn't here, otherwise she would have complained that the sun had sunburned her skin." Leonard looked away and said with a smile.
The blazing sunlight only lasted for a few minutes before gradually dimming, and everything returned to its original appearance.
Inside the church, Klein's carving knife was putting the last touch.
With the completion of the magic logo symbolizing "light", the spirituality of the front and back of the gold piece suddenly became a whole, and was restrained to the innermost part of the metal.
No, this is closer to divinity... Klein finally got rid of the scalding and blazing heat, and soberly examined the two "Sun Flame Talismans" in his palm.
The golden color on their surface has become dull, the patterns are simple and complex, and the warm and moist feeling is seeping out into Klein's skin.
"That's right, I finally have a stronger hole card." Klein sighed silently.
The opening spell he set for the "Sun Flame Charm" is "light" in ancient Hermes.
If I want light, there will be light... He teased himself and put the "Sun Flame Talisman" in another pocket, not putting it together with the "Slumber", "Requiem" and "Dream" spells, because that would be harmful to future generations. or have an effect that reduces the amount of time their effect lasts.
"Well, the power of the 'Sun Flame Talisman' can be preserved for at least one year, or even longer." Klein restrained his thoughts, and looked at the "Mutated Sun Sacred Emblem" on the ground.
Seeing that its surface has not changed, and the feeling of warmth and purity is still assimilating to the surroundings, Klein is completely relieved, and quickly finishes the ceremony, removing the spiritual wall.
It wasn't until this moment that he had the time to check himself, only to find that the tight-fitting shirt was almost soaked, his face was covered with sweat, and the edges of his hair were slightly curled.
It's okay, it's okay... Klein sighed in relief, put away his belongings, returned to his original seat, and fell asleep while sitting up tired, until he was awakened by the sound of footsteps.
He opened his eyes suddenly, and subconsciously touched the "Yangyan Talisman" to confirm whether it still existed.
"Is your condition not very good?" Leonard asked after entering the church.
Klein rubbed the foreheads on both sides, stood up and said with a smile:
"Because it's getting close to the limit."
He took out the silver pocket watch, pressed it open and glanced at it, and said, "It's just right, it's your turn to guard the sealed item '-0782'."
Before he finished speaking, Klein took off the "Mutated Sun Sacred Emblem" and calmly handed it to Leonard.
After watching him walk out of the church, Leonard restrained his idyllic posture, focused and carefully examined the sealed item "-0782", his expression gradually became confused, revealing obvious confusion.
After taking turns guarding, the three Nighthawks set off on their way back.
Prior to this, they asked Priest Smile to keep an eye on the town's situation, and if there was another suspected haunted incident, they would immediately send a telegram to St. Selina's Church.
At 7:20 in the evening, they finally arrived at Zouteland Street and handed in the sealed item "-0782".
After confirming that the captain found nothing unusual, Klein happily left the Blackthorn Security Company and returned home before eight o'clock.
He took out the key, opened the door, and suddenly saw a strange figure.
This is a girl who is obviously not in her twenties, wearing an old off-white dress, and is working hard to clean the restaurant.
She has black hair and brown pupils, small eyes, a nose that is not straight enough, and her facial features are very ordinary.
who? Klein was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that this might be a handyman who came to try to do housework.
At this time, Benson lowered the newspaper, looked at his younger brother, smiled and said:
"Companies that don't let employees leave work on time are always disgusting."
"But the salary it gives can heal this trauma." Klein responded with a smile.
When Miss Justice's 00 pounds arrives, tell Benson and Melissa about raising her salary to 6 pounds a week, so that they don't have to worry too much about the family's financial situation... Klein leaned on his walking stick while thinking, and took He lowered his top hat, walked towards the living room, and said in a low voice:
"Have you made your choice?"
He used the information of the three handmaids to do divination yesterday, and got suitable conclusions, so he handed over the decision-making power to his brother and sister.
"Yes, Bella, with a weekly salary of 5 soli, she is very willing and has the ability to learn cooking. She hopes to become a house cook in the future, so that her weekly salary will double. Worker, mother is a washerwoman." Benson replied with a chuckle, "Of course, another reason that made Melissa and I make a decision is that the other two maids believe in the Lord of Storms, and only she is a believer in the goddess. I personally don't reject the disciples of the Lord of Storms, but Melissa doesn't like it."
Melissa's attitude is not that she doesn't like it. A more accurate description is that she mourns her misfortune and angers her. Yes, Lu Xun said! Klein recalled his sister's performance all the time, with a smile on his face.
Benson didn't say any more, put down the newspaper, stood up and said:
"Now that you're back, let's have dinner."
…………
The next day, Klein entered the Blackthorn Security Company in a very good mood.
"Good morning." Luo Shan glanced around and said, "Old Neil is sick, how about we visit him at noon?"
"Old Neil is sick?" Klein asked in surprise.
Could it be that the antidiarrheal ritual caused severe constipation?
Well, judging from his performance after vaguely knowing the "acting method", sudden illness is also possible... When you are old, if your spirit is weak, your body will most likely go out of order...
Roseanne nodded vigorously and said:
"Yes, he found someone to ask the captain for leave."
Klein nodded slightly and said, "Then we'll visit him at noon. Hey, speaking of it, Old Neil is also very pitiful. His wife passed away early, and his child doesn't know which city to be busy with. After getting sick, he can only be lonely and helpless. lying at home."
He recalled the first time he went to Old Neil's house.
Hearing Klein's exclamation, Roseanne opened her eyes wide, and asked back in astonishment:
"When did Old Neil get married?"
