Hearing Klein's answer,
"Can you divine what the cause is? It would be even better if you could divine a solution..."
Divination can at most give a direction for a solution, and even then it's full of symbolism, vague, and easy to misinterpret... Of course, you're lucky, I'm not just a simple diviner, but a true occult scholar... Klein silently complained about the girl's questions, then said solemnly and seriously:
"Since it's related to dreams, I suggest using dream divination."
"Okay, okay." Elizabeth nodded like a chick pecking at food.
Klein, maintaining a professional demeanor, said: "I need you to sleep here and recreate that dream. Any problems?"
"No problem, I trust you." Elizabeth bit her lip and answered without hesitation.
But she soon added, stammering: "But I can't guarantee that I'll definitely have that dream."
"It's just an attempt." Klein reassured her with a gentle smile.
Then, he pointed to the long sofa on the side of the "Red Agate" divination room and said, "Please."
"No, there's no need. I'll sleep right here." Elizabeth gently shook her head, crossing her arms and hugging herself. "When I feel tired at school, I take a nap like this during breaks."
As she spoke, she used her arms as a pillow, leaned forward, and lay down on the edge of the table.
"Alright, you can pretend I'm not here." Klein smiled as he observed her aura and emotional colors to determine if the girl had fallen asleep.
"Mhm." Elizabeth closed her eyes, buried her face in her arms, and tried to breathe evenly.
Klein didn't say anything more and leaned back in his chair. The room instantly became unusually quiet.
It was a quiet that calmed the soul and made one forget the outside world.
After a while, confirming that Elizabeth had entered a state of sleep, Klein took out a semi-circular silver sheet from his pocket. The sheet was covered in
This was the "Dream Charm" that Klein had successfully made yesterday morning!
At the same time, he had also completed two "Slumber Charms" and two "Soul-Calming Charms." The former were made on rectangular silver sheets, while the latter were triangular, so he could distinguish them by touch during intense combat.
"Crimson!" Klein uttered a word in ancient Hermes in a low voice.
This was the activation incantation he had set. Since there was still the step of infusing spirituality, it didn't need to be different from others—just easy to remember and sufficiently short.
As the mysterious voice echoed, Klein felt the "Dream Charm" in his palm become light and airy, as if it had momentarily lost its weight.
Once he infused his spirituality into it, he immediately placed the charm on the table in front of him.
Transparent flames rose silently, enveloping the charm, and burned into a deep, tranquil black.
This blackness spread rapidly, enveloping both Klein and Elizabeth.
Klein seized the opportunity, entered a state of meditation, and with his spirituality saw a hazy, illusory oval sphere of light ahead.
Around this sphere was only boundless deep darkness, making it seem exceptionally lonely.
Klein didn't dare delay and immediately extended his spirituality, touching the unreal sphere of light.
Silently, the scenes around him began to flip and flicker, but soon stabilized into a yellow-brown plain. On the plain lay many dead horses and humans, with blood and weapons everywhere.
Elizabeth was wearing a court dress with leg-of-mutton sleeves and a hat with a veil hanging down, looking around bewildered.
She suddenly caught sight of Klein, and a surprised smile instantly appeared on her face:
"Mr. Moretti, we meet again! When I went with
"When summer vacation started and I had free time, my parents took me to Rammet Town for a holiday..."
"You can definitely help me, right?"
Listening to the girl's chatter, Klein was momentarily stunned:
So Elizabeth had long suspected that I worked part-time at the divination club, and she had even come looking for me several times...
And she didn't show any sign of it just now!
Hmm, her surprise was genuine and perfectly concealed her true thoughts...
Indeed, everyone is honest in their dreams, except for me, Mr. 'Fool'...
As his thoughts raced, Elizabeth's dream changed. A tall knight over 1.9 meters tall, dragging a broadsword that reached the ground, walked over step by step.
This knight was wearing black full-body armor, and slight metallic clashing sounds came from his movements. Two flames of red light shone through the gaps in his visor, staring fixedly at Klein and Elizabeth.
The will of a vengeful spirit... not yet reaching the level of an evil spirit... Klein, already in a spiritual state, didn't need to activate his spiritual vision.
In the internal classification of the Nighthawks, residual grudges and unwillingness are the weakest and easiest soul-type entities to deal with, followed by shades and vengeful spirits. Evil spirits are very troublesome soul-type monsters, and the most terrifying evil spirits are said to be no weaker than high-sequence Beyonders.
Thinking of this, Klein stepped forward, blocking Elizabeth, then stomped heavily with his right foot, shattering the dream instantly.
Countless firefly-like lights scattered, and Klein's spirituality returned to his body, allowing his eyes to once again see the dimly lit "Red Agate" divination room, the table with various divination tools, and the completely burned "Dream Charm" that had left only a few embers.
