Chapter 100: Chapter 100: Interpreting Symbols
Klein let out a breath and conjured the portrait of the half-century-old elder with messy eyebrows, thin brown hair, and gray-blue eyes on the goatskin that appeared before him. This was the third person present when the Antigonus family's notebook was traded between Welch and Hanass Vincent.
Looking at the portrait, Klein suddenly fell into a dilemma.
He can't draw. During art class in primary school, he was always the one receiving the greatest criticism from the teachers.
Should I use ritualistic magic like Old Neil? This was done by praying to the Goddess... If I were to use the uniqueness of the area above the gray fog... I would be in trouble if the divinities noticed something amiss!
Hold on a second; perhaps I can pray to myself! Transmitting images and transmitting voices are similar... Although I'm temporarily unable to access the mysterious power above the gray fog, accomplishing such a minor matter shouldn't be a problem!
Having thought of this, Klein immediately emanated his spirituality to envelop himself to stimulate the feeling of falling.
Back in his bedroom, he lit the gas lamp and 'prayed.'
"The Fool that doesn't belong to this era;
You are the mysterious ruler above the gray fog.
You are the King of Yellow and Black who wields good luck.
I pray for your revelation and pray that you allow me to draw what I've seen."
After reciting the incantation, Klein didn't splash essential oils or burn any herbs to gain the help of their powers.
It was just that informal when praying to oneself.
There were suddenly murmurs in his ears as he saw the four black dots that formed a square surface on the back of his hand. He walked four steps counterclockwise and recited the incantation before penetrating the maniacal chaos to return to the area above the gray fog.
This time he didn't see any of the crimson stars shrinking or expanding. But behind the seat of honor at the long bronze table, the strange symbol formed by a partial pupilless eye and partial contorted lines shimmered weakly as it produced illusory prayers.
Klein held his ear to it and listened. After making sure that there were no mistakes, he conjured the portrait of the 'third person' and cast it towards the flowing light in accordance with the prayer's format.
After everything was done, he immediately left the mysterious world above the gray fog and returned to his bedroom.
Just as he found his footing, a portrait surfaced immediately in front of Klein's eyes. Furthermore, he sensed a weak and illusory power augmenting him.
He picked up a fountain pen and found a piece of white paper and expressed his intent.
Klein was surprised to find his right hand moving uncontrollably as it quickly drew lines, and before long, he saw a lifelike portrait of the 'third person'.
After writing down the hair and eye colors, as well as other unique characteristics, Klein heaved a sigh of relief despite the spasms of his right hand and the illusion before his eyes rapidly dissipated.
