Bayam, Loen's residential district.
After Leyton and Mahmosi's last encounter, a small-scale migration occurred among the residents here, especially in the villa area, where many garden villas became vacant.
Leyton casually found a vacant villa in a decent location. He applied a Concealment effect around the villa. To passersby, it still appeared vacant and temporarily uninhabited.
After arranging a place for Leticia and her companions, and leaving the small paper figure with her to help them evade the Church of the Lord of Storms's screening, Leyton withdrew his consciousness attached to the paper figure.
He paced from the spacious bedroom's glass window, gazing at the heavy dark clouds gradually gathering in the distance but unable to fully form.
A storm was already brewing over the distant sea, forcing many ships in the harbor to cease operations.
The weather changes were becoming increasingly drastic; it seemed Kalvetua's collapse was imminent, within a day or two. As he pondered, he heard a roar from high in the sky.
When he looked up, he saw dark blue airships appearing in mid-air, flying to different surrounding areas.
Outside on the street, Loen soldiers wearing red jackets, white trousers, and black leather boots marched in uniform rows, carrying rifles.
His spiritual intuition was slightly stirred. He subtly raised his gaze and saw a light yellow paper with a sunflower pattern fall from the Spirit World.
He reached out and took it, shaking the paper slightly to display its content before his eyes:
"The form of Kalvetua, the 'Sea King' worshipped by the natives of the Rorsted Archipelago, is on the verge of collapse, and its mental state is extremely frenzied. The reason is related to the adventuress you sought on Symeem Island."
"Regarding the ruins where Kalvetua is Concealment, do you have any good methods if you approach it from the Spirit World?"
With these brief descriptions and questions, Leyton recognized at a glance that Klein had written this on the letter paper from Bugs Bunny.
He held the letter paper and walked to the other side of the bed, rummaging through the bedside cabinet for a brand new, round-barreled fountain pen.
He scribbled a few times on the paper and, seeing that there was still ink, he replied directly below Klein's question:
"She took the 'Book of Calamity'. That book originated from the Queen of Calamity and incorporated some of her Beyonder characteristics. It also contains some of her consciousness and is a contingency plan for resurrection."
"As for Kalvetua, it's a lucky sea snake that directly merged with and mastered a 'Sea King' Beyonder characteristic. With its luck, if it walked the Fate pathway, it might become a Soothsayer."
"If you want to find the ruins where it is Concealment, you can try to establish a connection with it through sacrifice and bestowal."
"At the Sequence 3 level, one can already respond to prayers within a certain range."
"Kalvetua's honorific name is:
"Blessed of the sea and spirit world;
Guardian of the Rorsted Archipelago;
Ruler of the Undersea Creatures;
Master of Tsunamis and Storms;
The Great Kalvetua."
Dock District, inside the Azure Wind Hotel.
Klein sat at a long table. On the table in front of him lay the light yellow paper with the question about 'Sea King' Kalvetua.
After about a minute or two, he saw new handwriting appear on the paper in front of him, several paragraphs long, below his own question.
Klein held the paper and carefully read Leyton's reply.
A moment later, he placed the light yellow paper on the table in front of him, leaned back against the chair, and fell into thought.
"The 'Book of Calamity,' the Queen of Calamity's contingency for resurrection... The Queen of Calamity, I remember Little Sun mentioned her; in the records of the City of Silver, she was the Elf King Soniathrym's Queen. How did things suddenly involve the Queen of an ancient god?"
"It truly is a lucky sea snake; it didn't lose control even after directly accommodating a Sequence 3 Beyonder characteristic. When I advanced to Faceless, I felt like I wasn't far from losing control. Is the difference between humans and sea snakes that great? Soothsayer should be Sequence 2 of the Fate pathway."
"Using a sacrificial ritual to establish contact with that Sea King..." Klein casually pulled out a gold coin from his pocket. Clink! The gold coin was flicked into the air and then fell back into his palm.
Heads up, indicating affirmation!
"It's indeed feasible."
Klein murmured softly.
"What's feasible? You, what are you trying to do again?"
Danitz, half-reclining in the armchair, heard Klein's murmur and reflexively jumped up from the armchair, staring at Klein with a wary expression, afraid that he would make another astonishing move at this moment.
Klein gave Danitz a calm look, and before he could cower, he spoke:
"Go rent a warehouse for me, preferably a place where not many people come and go."
"Rent a warehouse? Are you stocking up on supplies?"
Danitz asked in confusion, then turned to look out the window at the storm-brewing sky.
"You don't need to know," Klein replied coldly.
Danitz pouted, daring not to speak, and quietly sat back in the armchair, saying nothing more.
Seeing Danitz quiet down, Klein picked up the faded paper, shook it slightly twice, and the handwriting on it automatically disappeared.
He then picked up the pen next to it and wrote a new question on the paper:
"Why doesn't Kalvetua directly use its believers as a vessel to escape its current body, which is on the verge of losing control?"
A moment later, new handwriting appeared below Klein's original question:
"Kalvetua has a deep connection with the Queen of Calamity. The body it wants to pollute and occupy must have a certain elf bloodline."
"Of course, you, with a certain connection to Sefirah Castle, would be a better choice. Chaos Sea and City of Calamity could also work, but it can't reach those existences. And even if it could, it wouldn't win."
"It's similar to my guess, but are Chaos Sea and City of Calamity, these two Sefirah, also connected to certain existences? Is this world a bit too dangerous?"
After muttering to himself, Klein stood up from the chair, ready to return to his room to rest.
Just as he was about to return the letter paper to Bugs Bunny, his spiritual intuition suddenly stirred, and new handwriting appeared on the letter paper.
Leyton immediately brought the letter paper closer to his eyes. There were two simple lines of words on it:
"Regarding the previous question, there's another method: seek help from Red Light Red Light. He embodies authority and will, and to some extent, he possesses knowledge related to Spirit World creatures and locations."
"Shouldn't this method of seeking help from others be his first choice? Why was it left until last? After advancing to demigod, his changes seem quite significant..." Klein mused, feeling that this might not be a very good thing.
"I hope Miss Justice has become a qualified Psychiatrist. She's about to have a patient. I need to pay attention to the subsequent formulas of the Spectator Pathway. The higher Miss Justice's Sequence, the more likely she is to discover and solve problems."
He casually handed the letter paper to Bugs Bunny and turned to return to his room.
He rummaged through his suitcase for a bottle of Holy Night Powder, sprinkled it along the walls of the room, and extended his spirituality to create a Wall of Spirituality both inside and outside the layout.
He swiftly searched the room, gathering a somewhat incomplete set of ritual items.
"Hmm, Red Light probably won't care too much about such details. From his attitude last time, I might not even need a ritual; just reciting his honorific name casually, and he would respond."
As he pondered, Klein had already skillfully set up a simple ritual.
Whoosh~, he looked at the ritual he had set up and let out a long breath. "If this were for praying to the Goddess, it would be considered disrespectful."
He shook his head slightly, suppressing the jumbled thoughts in his mind, and gently rubbed his fingers together.
A snap sounded, and the candles arranged on the ground quickly flared up.
Klein stepped back and chanted in ancient hermes:
"The never-fading light of the Spirit World, the embodiment of endless knowledge, the Red of authority and will."
Klein repeated Red Light's honorific name twice, extending his spirituality and adjusting his own state simultaneously.
Just as he was about to chant the honorific name for the third time, the temperature in the room suddenly dropped, and the light dimmed slightly.
The flickering flames on the candles were tinged with a deep Red Light, constantly moving up and down as if searching for a suitable frequency.
Klein's keen spiritual intuition sensed that something was about to break through the Spirit World's limitations and descend into reality.
"This won't directly turn into a divine descent ritual, will it?"
Klein was suddenly startled. He suddenly thought that a Mystical Ritual was about unifying one's body, mind, and spirit with a Great Existence to gain some knowledge.
"Given Red Light's attitude towards me, to show respect, he definitely wouldn't directly enter that state of unified body, mind, and spirit with me. So, he'll probably descend directly."
Having understood the crucial point, Klein quickly pulled a paper figure from an inner pocket of his clothes and swiftly flicked it out, sending it to the very center of the ritual.
"I hope this Red Light understands what I mean, otherwise the Church of the Lord of Storms's strained nerves will be stimulated again."
The paper figure Klein flicked out floated directly in mid-air. An Invisible Force and will descended upon it, piercing through the barrier between the Spirit World and reality.
The paper figure instantly took on a layer of majestic Red Light, with illusory Red Light swirling around it, as if it were wearing a grand red robe.
