Chapter 192: The First Essential of an Adventuring Operation

She can’t enter… Even the Seven Lights cannot enter because of certain peculiarities… Is this a restriction Calderón places on higher-level beings of the spirit world? But how does Miss Messenger know about that restriction? Has she been there before? If that’s the case, then I didn’t need to ask Red Light and the Magic Mirror at all… Or perhaps that’s what her spiritual intuition is telling her? As his thoughts turned, Klein slowly and silently exhaled.

He immediately took out a gold coin and handed it to Reinette Tinekerr.

“I understand. Thank you for informing me.”

After one of Miss Messenger’s heads bit onto the gold coin and her entire body retreated into the spirit world, Klein let his thoughts spread and began considering whom else he could find as a helper.

“Mr. Azik has fallen into slumber. Who knows when he’ll awaken? I can’t wait.

“Will Auceptin is about to be born, but that still means He’ll be an infant, at an absolute low point. Even with Ma’am Hermit’s method for briefly restoring some strength during His weakened state, it’s impossible to waste that on something as minor as being my bodyguard. And once He leaves Backlund or displays the corresponding level, there’s a high chance He’ll be locked onto by the Angel of Fate, Ouroboros, again.

“Could I use this Mercury Snake to ask a demigod of the Life School of Thought for help, such as Councilor Ricciardo from before? That’s very difficult. The Life School of Thought underwent an internal split previously. Their councilors have too many matters to deal with, and they still need to carry the Die of Probability around the world, leaving traces behind in order to mobilize the Angel of Fate.

“The Mystery Queen, Bernadette? I’m not that close to her. Besides, the Fool has angels and demigods under Him. There’s no way Gehrman Sparrow, as His blessed, would seek help elsewhere. Even under the banner of cooperation, it would still seem quite problematic. Sigh. On the surface, the Fool has angels and demigods under Him, but in reality, He’s just a Fool photobombing next to angels and demigods…

“The Chief of the City of Silver? I could indeed direct him when he has a need and use it as the price to pay, but the problem is that he cannot leave the Forsaken Land of the Gods. Better to save that opportunity for the Bizarro Bane…

“Those old fellows of the Sanguine? There’s neither a suitable reason nor any way to avoid easily exposing myself to Lilith’s line of sight. No one knows who exactly this ancient god, dead but not stiff, currently is. If it’s the Primordial Moon in disguise, then I don’t even need to think about resurrection…”

Klein came up with one candidate after another, only to rule them out one by one. In the end, he could not help but sigh inwardly.

“When the need comes, one always feels short of friends!”

He almost wanted to set up a ritual and try praying for the power of the night, the power of crimson, and the Goddess’s favor, hoping to be directly bestowed with the true spirit body and dust of a Spirit World Plunderer, or to receive help from an archbishop, a high-ranking deacon, or a hidden ascetic.

Unfortunately, such thoughts could only circle in his mind; he could not put them into practice. Although Klein rather acknowledged the Evernight Goddess and did not reject his current suspected identity as a favored one of Evernight, he still maintained strong vigilance. He did not want to rely on divine gifts for everything. Moreover, he suspected that a ritual of this sort would have no effect, because with his current level and strength, he had no right to raise conditions to a Sequence 0. If a deity wished to grant something, They naturally would. If They did not, praying would be useless.

If I had Old Neil’s thick skin, maybe I really would give it a try. Back then, the Goddess even responded to settling bills and solving constipation. She really does dote on Her believers. Of…
