Klein's reply made Daly chuckle. The semi-transparent face with only a mouth said:
"Even if you took inspiration from the Mystery Pryer's motto and confirmed your ideas through my experiences and actions, the fact that you were able to clearly recognize 'acting' and summarize your own 'Seer's Code' in just over a month is enough to prove your outstanding intelligence and open-minded thinking."
Klein didn't dwell on this topic that made him uneasy, and instead asked:
"Madam, does the Church's upper echelons know about this, this so-called 'Acting Method'?"
"Without a doubt, they are very clear about it. I once looked through the Church's historical archives, searching for those who advanced rapidly, defying the rules. I found that there were quite a few such Nighthawks and Bishops, and I wasn't the most special one. But their endings..." Here, Daly deliberately paused, her tone seeming somewhat heavy.
"What kind of endings did they have?" Klein's heart tightened, and the words slipped out.
Could it be that the Church of the Evernight Goddess views the "Acting Method" as the temptation of evil gods and demons?
That semi-transparent face without eyes, nose, or ears suddenly laughed out loud: "Their results were quite good. Except for those who lost control or were sacrificed in supernatural incidents, the rest at least became Archbishops or High Deacons, and there was no lack of strong ones who successfully advanced to High Sequences. Ah, in the Goddess's Church, Sequence 4 and Sequence 3 are collectively called Saints, and Sequence 2 and Sequence 1 are Earthly Angels. Of course, every Angel was once a Saint."
"...Miss Daly, you were deliberately scaring me just now..." Klein's lips twitched, but he didn't hide his confusion as he asked: "Since the Church has long mastered the Acting Method, why hasn't it told every Nighthawk? Although this can't completely prevent loss of control, it can definitely greatly reduce the corresponding probability and reduce unnecessary losses."
That semi-transparent face with only a mouth showed a hint of confusion: "I don't know why either. They told me that when I become an Archbishop or a High Deacon, I can understand this secret. The reason I came to you today is that I hope you can clearly tell Dunn about the Acting Method before you submit your special application."
Klein didn't foolishly ask why she didn't do it herself, but said thoughtfully: "Once noticed by the Church, one has to make a promise and enter into an oath, not to tell others about the Acting Method?"
"Yes, swearing an oath in Her name before the Goddess's Holy Relic has enough binding force. Trust me, you absolutely don't want to know the consequences of breaking it. I can only chat with someone like you who also masters the Acting Method. Your state already told me the answer before you answered, so I dared to say that term." Daly let that eerie face sigh. She paused and continued:
"Back then, I only vaguely grasped the essence of acting, thus quickly digesting the potion. Yes, within the Church's high-level, 'digest' is used to describe the mastery of the potion. I think it is very apt. Anyway, before I took the oath and was told about the 'Acting Method', I didn't have a very clear perception of this matter, so I couldn't accurately remind Dunn and them. I had already given up, but I didn't expect to meet you, an oddball, no, a genius who clearly recognized the 'Acting Method' before submitting the special application."
So that's how you see me, Miss... Klein's mouth twitched, and he solemnly promised: "I originally planned to use the special application to remind the Captain of the existence of the 'Acting Method'. With your explanation, Miss, I don't need to worry about anything."
"Very good. You are truly a kind young man." Daly's tone was filled with obvious relief.
Miss, you seem to be only two or three years older than me... Klein silently pointed out her slip in his heart.
Before he could speak, that semi-transparent eerie face continued: "If you have any questions or need any help, you can write to me. When I, hehe, when I become an Archbishop or a High Deacon and learn the secret of why the Church is hiding the 'Acting Method', I will hint to you about the good and bad of this matter."
Klein's spirits lifted, and he asked without hesitation: "Miss, what is your address?"
For him, one more helper was one more, and this was a relatively powerful "Spirit Medium"!
Facing Klein who didn't refuse at all, Daly was silent for a few seconds before chuckling softly: "Our communication shouldn't go through the post office, nor should we use normal letters. It's very unsafe. I will teach you a relatively simple ritual magic. It can summon a unique spirit, a spirit belonging to me. You give the written letter to it, and it will accurately hand it over to me. It's slower than a telegram, but faster than a steam train. If you finish it at noon, I in Backlund will receive it that very night."
Klein listened intently, nodding slightly: "A very practical ritual magic."
Daly chuckled softly: "The characteristic of this ritual magic is that you pray to yourself, drawing power from your own spirituality. It doesn't need to go through a deity, so it is quite concealed. However, its power is often not great. ...First, you select the herbs and essential oils corresponding to the domain. This is no different from a normal ritual magic, but the candle only needs the one symbolizing yourself... Next is the incantation part. There are three segments. The first segment is 'I'. Whisper 'I' in Ancient Hermes, Giant, Dragon, or Elvish. The second segment is 'I summon in my name', which can be changed to Hermes. The third segment is the specific description of the summoned entity, such as the one you will use later: Spirit that wanders the void, a creature of the higher realms driven by man, the messenger belonging solely to Daly Simone."
Higher realms? In the field of mysticism, this usually refers to the Spirit World... Klein carefully memorized while analyzing the ritual flow.
In this aspect, he could barely be considered an expert.
