Uncovering the "Paper Angel" that covered it, Klein poured the bottle of demon blood into a ceramic jar and stirred it for a good while with a conjured glass rod.
"Phew, finally got everything together," he said, gazing at it for a few seconds.
This way, he still had enough time to make some additional preparations before George III held the ceremony.
As for whether the blood of the "Assassin" and the "Demon" could be disconnected from their owners in time, Klein didn't care, because he had confirmed that the original owners of these two blood samples were dead.
— He had divined the origin of the "Assassin's" blood to determine if it belonged to the witch Triss, and if so, whether to keep a little to later smear on the surface of "
The result disappointed him but didn't surprise him; he had long realized that Triss was as cautious and careful as he was.
Witches also have the "Instigator" sequence, which requires no low intelligence... Hmm, the "Instigator" and "Conspirer" potions should both have the effect of increasing intelligence; otherwise, Danitz's future would be worrying... Klein thought as he tossed the ceramic jar into the pile of clutter.
He then returned to the real world and browsed the detailed ritual provided by the witch Triss.
This was a ritual that could help Klein converse with Mr. Door during a full moon.
"A total of nine types of gems... Isn't this too extravagant?" he muttered while reading.
As a rich man who still had nearly thirty thousand pounds in cash after donating a lot (fourteen thousand pounds in banknotes, gold bars worth fifteen thousand pounds, thirty-five gold coins, and some change), he could afford to buy the gems, but he felt it was too wasteful.
After thinking for a dozen seconds, Klein decided to first try using images from historical voids; after all, he didn't intend to please Mr. Door, and once the ritual was over and the gems disappeared, Mr. Door couldn't do anything to him.
If that didn't work, he'd consider buying from a jewelry store... Klein stood up and set up the ritual in the room outside the rented house.
After completing the other preparations, he reached out with his right hand and slowly, heavily grasped at the air in front of him.
He pulled out an old-fashioned brass key from the air.
This was the key item for summoning Mr. Door: the "Universal Key."
Then, Klein heavily grasped again in front of him, dragging an item out of the void.
This item emitted a peaceful radiance, shaped like a full moon, with dark red gems set around it and a moon symbol with many mystical patterns in the center.
"Crimson Moon Crown"!
Now belonging to
It could create a "full moon" effect, allowing the person holding the "Universal Key" to hear Mr. Door's mutterings.
If Klein just wanted to hear what Mr. Door was saying, this step was enough; there was no need to perform the ritual, but his goal was to talk to that Angel King, so he had to follow the procedure.
After placing both the "Universal Key" and the "Crimson Moon Crown" on the altar, Klein thought for a moment and reached out his right hand again, grabbing into the air.
This time, he took out a magnificent necklace adorned with diamond chips and an emerald heart.
"Hmm... the experience of this identity, Dwayne Dantès, is really useful; otherwise, how could I have interacted with so many upper-class women, danced with them, and seen ornaments of different styles and materials? And without that close observation, how could I easily summon the corresponding images from historical voids now? This can last a quarter of an hour, enough..." Klein sighed with satisfaction, having easily achieved his goal.
Then, he continued, reaching out his right hand again, preparing to gather the nine needed gems from the ladies and misses he had met before.
The next second, his hand froze in midair, and his expression became quite strange.
"I forgot that I can only maintain three images from historical voids right now... What to do? Swap this necklace for an ornament with at least nine types of gems? Hmm, let me think if I've seen something similar. Yes, I can use 'dream divination' to recall... This... 'Dream divination' is used for such moments? 'Seer' and 'Ancient Scholar' go well together, hmm, this is also an extreme form of 'magic'... Amidst these thoughts, Klein was about to sit down and start divining when he suddenly frowned.
He noticed something wrong.
Under normal circumstances, he couldn't have forgotten that he could only summon three images from historical voids at a time.
"Is this a subtle spiritual warning?" Klein glanced at the "Universal Key" and "Crimson Moon Crown" on the altar and waved his right hand, making them disappear.
Then, he took four steps backward, recited the honorable names, ascended to the
Materializing paper and pen, Klein wrote:
"Currently, conversing with Mr. Door is dangerous."
This divination would obviously point to Mr. Door, causing Klein to suffer some counterattack, but Klein, who had initially mastered the "Source Castle" and could mobilize power at the Angel level, believed he could withstand it; after all, Mr. Door was in a state of exile and sealing.
Untying the pendulum from his left wrist, Klein held it with his left hand, letting it hang over those words, almost touching the paper surface.
He then closed his eyes and, with high mental tension, silently recited the divination statement seven times.
Silently, a shadow suddenly flashed through Klein's mind, which seemed to completely block his inspiration.
He hastily opened his eyes and saw that the yellow crystal pendant had turned to powder.
