Upon hearing Klein's response, Elizabeth suddenly felt a bit nervous and unconsciously sped up her speech:
"Could you help me do a divination to find out what the problem is? It would be even better if we could figure out a solution through the divination... "
Divination can only give directions for solving the problem, and it is usually full of symbolic meanings, vague and prone to misinterpretation... Of course, you are very lucky. I'm not just a simple diviner, but a true mystic scholar... Klein muttered to himself about the girl's question for a couple of sentences, then solemnly and seriously said:
"Since it's related to dreams, I suggest using this kind of divination method."
"Okay, okay." Elizabeth nodded like a chicken eating food.
Klein maintained his serious professional demeanor and said: "I need you to sleep here and relive that dream. Is that okay?"
"No problem. I believe you." Elizabeth pursed her lips and answered without hesitation.
But soon she stammered and added: "However, however, I... I can't guarantee that I will definitely have that dream."
"It's just a try." Klein comforted her with a gentle smile.
Then, he pointed to the sofa on the side of the "Red Agate" divination room and said: "Please."
"No, no need. I'll sleep here." Elizabeth shook her head gently and assumed a posture of crossing her arms and hugging them, saying, "When I feel tired at school, I'll take a nap like this during the break."
She spoke while propping her head on her arms and leaning forward, resting her upper body against the edge of the table.
"Okay. You can pretend I don't exist." Klein observed the girl's aura and emotional color with a smile, using it to judge whether she had fallen asleep successfully.
"Um." Elizabeth closed her eyes and buried her face in her arms, trying to make her breathing even.
Klein didn't say anything and leaned back against the chair back. The room suddenly became extremely peaceful.
It was a kind of inner peace that made one forget the external world.
After a while, after confirming that Elizabeth was in a sleep state, Klein took out a half-round silver sheet from his pocket. The sheet was covered with words in Hermes' language that were difficult for ordinary people to understand, as well as various symbolic symbols, numbers, and signs.
This was the "dream charm" that Klein had successfully made yesterday morning!
At the same time, he had also completed two "sleep charm" and two "reverence charm". The former was made of a rectangular silver sheet, while the latter was triangular, so that he could distinguish it by touch in a fierce battle.
"Fuchsia!" Klein said in a deep voice, reciting a word from ancient Hermes' language.
This was the activation incantation he had set, because there was a subsequent process of infusing spiritual energy, so there was no need to be different from others. As long as it was suitable for memory and short enough was fine.
The echoing of the mysterious voice made Klein feel that the "dream charm" in his palm became light and airy for a moment, as if it temporarily lost weight.
When the spiritual energy was infused, he immediately placed the charm on the table in front of him.
Transparent flames rose silently, enveloping the charm, and burning out a deep and peaceful black color.
This black quickly spread, enveloping both Klein and Elizabeth at once.
Klein seized the opportunity and entered a meditative state, using the spiritual energy to see a vague and illusory elliptical light ball ahead.
Around the light ball, there was only boundless deep black, making it extremely lonely.
Klein couldn't delay and immediately infused spiritual energy, touching the less real light ball.
In an moment, the scene around him began to reverse and flicker, but soon stabilized into a yellowish-brown plain, with many horses and humans lying dead on it, and everywhere there was blood and weapons.
Elizabeth was wearing a court dress with sheep's leg sleeves and a hat with a thin veil hanging down, looking around blankly.
She caught sight of Klein's figure at once and a smile of surprise appeared on her face: "Mr. Moretti, we meet again! When I and Selina went to the divination club to have someone do a divination, we suspected that the one on the list was actually you. Later, I went there several more times, but due to my classes, our schedules always clashed... "
"Once the summer vacation came and we were free, my parents took me to Ramde Town for a vacation... "
"You must be able to help me, right?"
Listening to the girl's rambling, Klein briefly froze for a moment:
It turns out that Elizabeth had suspected that I was working part-time at the divination club, and she even came to visit several times...
She didn't show any abnormality at all!
Well, the surprise was real, and it effectively masked her true thoughts...
Surely, everyone in a dream is honest, except for this "foolish" gentleman...
As his thoughts swirled, Elizabeth's dream changed. A tall knight over one meter and nine inches tall, dragging a broad sword that could touch the ground, walked step by step towards them.
The knight was wearing black full-body armor, and there were slight metal clashing sounds as he moved. Two flames-like red lights shone through the gaps in his faceplate, staring fixedly at Klein and Elizabeth.
The idea of a wraith... It wasn't yet at the level of an evil spirit... Since Klein was already in a spiritual state, he didn't need to activate his spiritual vision anymore.
In the division of the internal materials of the night watchman, the residual resentment and dissatisfaction were the weakest and easiest to handle spirit-like things. Then came shadows and wraiths, and evil spirits belonged to the most difficult spirit monsters. The most terrifying evil spirits were said to be no weaker than the strongest members of the high sequence.
Thinking of this, Klein stepped forward, blocking Elizabeth's path, and then he stepped heavily with his right foot, causing the dream to shatter instantly.
Countless firefly-like lights flew around, Klein's spirit returned to his body, allowing his eyes to see the dimly lit "red agate" divination room again, the table with various divination props, and the "dream charm" that had burned out and left only a little embers.
Looking at this scene, thinking of the charms in the domain of the Night Goddess being made of pure silver, Klein couldn't help but feel a pang of sympathy:
This thing is just burning money! Even without considering my labor cost, just calculating the various materials, it would cost 6 to 8 sols each!
Well, thinking of the extraordinary members of the Eternal Sun Church, it made him feel a bit more balanced, after all, they burned gold...
-- The corresponding metal of the Sun Domain is gold.
At this moment, Elizabeth gave a soft "ah" and slowly woke up, sitting up straight again.
She gave Klein a sidelong glance and said:
"Mr. Moretti, has the divination given a result?"
"Yes," Klein nodded quite seriously, "The nightmare will disappear on its own within no more than a week."
I will report to the captain and have him send someone to Ramde Town to handle it... Klein added the omitted parts in his mind.
"Really?" Great! "Thank you, Mr. Moretti!" Elizabeth suddenly became excited and agitated, and then suddenly frowned.
"What's the matter?" Klein asked concernedly.
"There's nothing really, just that I'm thinking it's time to go home," she said slowly, taking out the 1 shilling note that she had prepared earlier and placing it on the table. Then, holding her hat, she politely said goodbye to Klein.
After leaving the "Red Agate" divination room, she walked briskly towards the stairs outside the door, and hurriedly shook her arms and whispered in a low voice:
"Good luck, good luck..." ......
Inside the Black Thorn Security Company, Dunn rubbed his forehead and stared at Klein across the room with his grey eyes:
"Did you suddenly return? Did you encounter some extraordinary event again?"
Hey, Captain, why do you have that disapproving tone... Klein cleared his throat and answered without hesitation:
"Yes."
"What event?" Dunn Smith rubbed his forehead again.
Klein replied clearly and logically:
"Two things. One is that when I went to the underground trading market to purchase the spell material, I found 'monster' Ademisolar curled up in a corner, trembling with fear all over."
Here, he frantically hinted that the material cost needed to be reimbursed.
As for the detective fee for searching for Dast Gudrian, because of the matter involving the Red Chimney, he didn't feel like mentioning it, and deeply regretted not having separately entrusted it to two detective agencies.
Dunn seemed not to have detected Klein's hidden meaning and nodded gently:
"What happened to Ademisolar?"
Klein let out a silent breath and described in detail:
"Ademisolar had a dream, dreaming of blood everywhere, dead people all over the place, including himself, and was so frightened that he was very upset."
Dunn seemed to be thinking slowly and spoke:
"As a diviner, what do you think this symbolizes?"
"A disaster, a disaster with a wide range of impact, but there is no other information. Moreover, not every dream of Ademisolar necessarily has symbolic meaning."
Klein pondered and replied:
"I will submit it to the Sanctuary to see what they will give us."
Dunn shook his head and self-mockingly said, "This is not something I'm good at."
Klein had no other ideas and instead talked about the matter of Elizabeth being entangled by the evil spirit's thoughts.
"Ramde Town... That young lady is a devotee of the Goddess, right?" Dunn thought and asked.
"Yes." Klein gave a positive answer.
"There's no problem then. You and I are going to Ramde Town right now, trying to enjoy dinner there. Well, bring Fry along, his ability is very useful in events related to corpses and ghosts."
Dunn rubbed his temples and tried to remember if he had forgotten anything.
—If Elizabeth doesn't believe in the Night Goddess, then it must be handed over to the "Punisher" or the "Mechanical Heart" according to her specific beliefs. If her beliefs are even outside the three major churches, then it belongs to the "Mechanical Heart" responsible for the suburbs.
Klein didn't say anything and waited quietly for a while. Finally, he heard Dunn add:
"There's also, we are acting as three people, we can apply to use the seal '3-0782'."
"3-0782"? Klein thought hard and remembered that the corresponding seal was the "Variant Sun Holy Emblem".
The extraordinary effect of this holy emblem seemed to last for a very long time. Its function was to continuously purify the corpses and ghosts within fifteen meters around, but the drawback was that it would also purify the souls of normal people at the same time. Research data showed that if a normal person stayed within its fifteen-meter range for one hour, they would become a fool who only knew to "praise the sun", and the limit of an extraordinary person was six hours.
As for ghosts and corpses, they would disintegrate within less than a minute.
Eh, Captain actually remembers the code name of this seal... I'm going, I feel my memory is even worse than him... Klein suddenly froze, almost pulling a noodle to hang himself.
Just at this moment, Dunn Smith leaned back and asked with a deep grey eye:
"Did you go to the Divination Club again? Have you noticed any changes in the past two days?"
