Secret: The undead do not die in the fire

Chapter 257 Farewell
"There is no danger in dreams."

Above the gray fog, Klein successfully obtained the answer to the divination and murmured softly.

Such a result was expected.

But there is still a small problem. Although dreams themselves are not dangerous and even have many benefits, the act of entering dreams contains great risks!
For extraordinary people, even sleeping spirits can provide a certain degree of warning. But once the spirit enters the dream, his body will be in a completely defenseless state. And if someone takes this opportunity to attack him, even an ordinary person can easily kill him.

Therefore, you must ensure that there is someone to protect you when you enter the dream.

Duke Olmer of the blood clan allowed other blood clan members to enter his dream for the same reason. This was also true for Miss Justice. They had an angel protecting them, so they didn't have to worry about any danger.

But for Klein, who was "drifting" alone on the sea, let alone finding an angel to protect him, he didn't even have anyone he could trust.

As for the other members of the Tarot Club, their situation was much better than his.

For example, 'The Hanged Man' and 'The Hermit' are both 'pirates' and have their own pirate ships.

The former was a member of the Church of Storms, and the crew on the ship would be no exception. As they were all devout believers of the Church of Storms, the crew would definitely not attack the captain.

After all, if something happens to the captain, the Storm Church will definitely hold him accountable.

As one of the pirate generals, the latter must have absolute control over his pirate ship. With the protection of a whole ship of subordinates, he also does not need to worry about safety issues.

'Magician' and 'Judgement' obviously know each other in reality, and they can definitely protect each other.

And 'Sun', like himself, has security concerns.

But he was in a land abandoned by God, isolated from the outside world, and it was not certain whether he could connect to the 'dream'.

of course.

This is not completely without a solution.

Because Klein has his own messenger, and the messenger is very powerful, at least at the demigod level—

This was something Klein had already determined when he first met the Messenger Lady in the spirit world and saw her huge real body and the Gothic-style castle.

In addition, there is an existing contract between the messenger and the contractor, which stipulates that the messenger cannot endanger the life of the contractor, so the relationship between the two parties is completely mutually beneficial.

So if he could get the help of the messenger lady, his safety would definitely be guaranteed. But he was afraid that the messenger lady would not agree, after all, the contract between them was for the messenger lady to deliver letters, not to be a bodyguard.

The contract only stipulates that the life of the contractor cannot be endangered, and there is no mandatory requirement that the messenger must protect him in times of crisis.

Thinking of this, Klein wrapped himself in spirituality, simulated the feeling of falling rapidly, and returned to the real world.

Inside the hotel.

Klein looked at the quietly burning candle. He took a step back and said:

"I!

"I call in my name:
"A spirit wandering in illusion, a friendly creature that can be driven, belongs exclusively to Gehrman Sparrow's messenger."

call!
Inside the spiritual wall, the wind suddenly became fierce, and Klein's half-high silk hat almost flew into the air.

The candle flame flickered, expanded to the size of a human head, and was so pale that it seemed to have lost its temperature.

A translucent head slowly emerged as if breaking through a thin film. It had smooth light golden hair, blood-red eyes, and a bright and elegant appearance. She looked like a very outstanding beauty.

However, the head came out completely, and what followed was not a neck, but an illusory hand pinching the end of her hair.

Behind the palms are cuffs with intricate patterns but dark colors...

Renette Tinicole came out at a leisurely pace, still wearing the gloomy and complicated black dress, holding four identical beautiful heads.

Reinette Tinicole glanced at Klein. The four heads with blond hair and red eyes turned around and said:

"No..." "Letter..."

"This time I have something to discuss with you."

Klein put on a smile and handed over a gold coin. "This is the summoning fee."

The head held by Renette Tinicole bit the gold coin, and the other two who had been unable to speak before asked:
“What…” “Things…”

"I may be in some danger recently. I hope to summon you for help. Is that okay?"

Klein tried to make his eyes look sincere.

The eight eyeballs of Renette Tinicole's four heads moved at the same time and said:

“Yes…” “Pay…” “Gold coins…” “Ten thousand…”

...Ten thousand pieces, equivalent to 1 pounds! Klein's mouth twitched slightly, and he forced a smile with difficulty, saying awkwardly:

“I don’t have that much money…”

The four heads of Renette Tinicole spoke one after another:

“You…” “You can…” “In installments…” “Pay…”

"installment……"

Klein had a headache, and paying in installments was not an option.

He entered the dream not once or twice, but every night.

Ten thousand gold coins at a time, who can afford this?

Reinette Tinicole seemed to sense his embarrassment, and the four heads spoke again:
“You…” “Can…” “Speak first…” “What…” “Busy.”

Klein hesitated for two seconds and said:

"I need to pray to an angel and enter the dream she creates every night. And during the time I enter the dream, my body needs someone to protect me..."

The four heads of Renette Tinicole rolled their eyes and said:

"Every time..." "Ten..." "Gold coins..." "Occurrence..." "Battle..." "Additional..."

"can."

Klein breathed a sigh of relief and nodded in agreement.

Ten gold coins at a time are equivalent to ten pounds, which is only three hundred pounds a month.

In the absence of a fight, the extra expense of three hundred pounds was well within Klein's acceptable range.

At worst, he could just hunt down a pirate with a bounty of more than 300 pounds every month.

If a fight occurs, there will be additional costs, but that also means his life is threatened, so it is worth spending any money!
"call!"

Klein took a breath and began to pray in front of the messenger without any concealment:
"The dark fallen child of the abyss,

The forbidden witch of jealousy,
The recorder of lost history.

I pray that you will let me have a sweet dream."

Renette Tinicole did not speak, but the four heads with blonde hair and red eyes looked at Klein at the same time, which immediately made Klein feel a little scared. What was going on?

Why does it seem that Miss Messenger seems to react to this honorific name? Did they know each other before?

The four heads of Renette Tinicole slowly spoke:
“You got it from…” “Where…” “This…” “Honorable name…” “From a friend.” Klein tried his best to control his expression.

The messenger lady's reaction fully proves that she and Carla know each other, and their relationship should not be bad, otherwise the messenger lady would not have reacted like this.

But this is not surprising. After all, the 'Original World' came at the end of the Second Epoch, and thousands of years have passed. This means that Carla has lived in this world for at least thousands of years. In such a long life, it is normal to know one or two friends. Maybe Miss Messenger was Carla's messenger before...

While Klein was thinking, Reinette Tinicole was silent for a few seconds. The four heads spoke one after another:

“Tell…” “Me…” “The dream…” “of…” “Things…”

"Protection..." "Free of charge..."

Klein remained calm and seemed to hesitate for a few seconds, but he still agreed reluctantly:
"can."

Good thing!
Without paying, she could get the protection of a being at least demigod-level for free. The price was just to tell her what happened in the dream. Is there such a good thing? !
Apart from anything else, he was very familiar with this "dream". Even if he didn't enter the dream, he could close his eyes and tell the messenger what happened in the dream vividly! -
Landenheim.

At the top of the magnificent restored castle, in the hall with a towering dome.

The blonde girl sat on a huge blood-red throne that was totally inconsistent with her petite figure. She looked at the young man kneeling on the ground with a very cold expression. His clothes were messy and torn, and his hair was burnt. She said coldly:
"In other words, not only did you fail to kill the lizard, but you also lost hundreds of your people?"

The young man broke out in a cold sweat and raised his head in fear:

"My Lord, I deserve death, but..."

boom!
Before he could finish his words, the young man's body was suddenly knocked hundreds of meters away and hit the wall at the end of the hall heavily.

"They are all dead, why did you come back?"

Lilith withdrew her hand and said calmly.

The young man got up from the ground in fear, not even daring to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, and then quickly knelt on the ground in panic.

Lilith turned her gaze towards another young man on the right side of the hall and said lazily:

"Olmer, this mission is up to you. Don't let me down."

"I will not let down the trust of my ancestors."

Olmer bowed his head deeply and said respectfully.

Ever since Lilith took over Landenheim, the upper class structure of this city has been completely broken.

The original twelve clan leaders were all hunted down and killed, and in their place were twelve newly promoted blood clan demigods.

As the first person to show goodwill to Lilith and even act as a guide to a certain extent, Olmer also obtained a demigod's extraordinary characteristics. Although he was not as good as Ornia and Alyssa who were promoted to secondary gods in one step, Olmer was also the one who was most respected and trusted by Lilith among all the demigods.

"As for you,"

Lilith glanced at the young man kneeling on the ground and said calmly:

"You go with Olmer. If you fail again this time, you know what the consequences will be."

"My subordinate understands."

The young man nodded hurriedly, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Although he is also a demigod, it does not mean that his status is secure.

Because Lilith had no trust in these demigods, she simply randomly selected eleven people to replace the twelve clan leaders, and implemented a competitive system for the positions.

All demigods must make sufficient contributions to the vampire race, otherwise their positions will be replaced by others.

It just so happened that the former patriarchs of the twelve families were so fertile that they had a large number of descendants who wanted to become demigods.

In this competitive environment, there are too many people eyeing the positions of these demigods. Once they make mistakes in their positions and fail to perform their duties, they are in danger of being replaced by others at any time.

Except for the two subordinate gods and Olmer, everyone else was worried about whether they would be replaced tomorrow. However, the status of the two subordinate gods actually made quite a few people in the blood clan feel a little absurd.

Her Highness Ornia is the younger sister of Lady Lilith, so she is naturally qualified to become a subordinate god.

But the deification of another person, Olmer's sister Alyssa, only made them feel absurd -

Because the reason why the other party was able to become a subordinate god was simply because when the adult asked them what name they would give themselves if they became gods, only Alyssa seriously gave herself the name of the Goddess of Life.

This is undoubtedly unique among the vampires who try their best to avoid having anything to do with the former god of life, Lucius.

But it was precisely because of this divine name that she obtained the divine position that others dreamed of...

"Go back."

Lilith said calmly.

Olmer bowed his head respectfully and walked back out of the hall, followed by the young man.

When everyone left, Lilith's figure disappeared silently without a trace under the moonlight.

When he appeared again, he was already in a luxuriously decorated room in the castle.

"Ah, so tired!"

Lily threw herself on the bed without any image at all and buried her head deeply in the soft pillow. It was completely different from her previous cold image when she scolded a demigod in public in front of other vampires.

Yu Jin glanced at the girl lying on the bed in a big letter shape and said:

"Pay attention to your image. You are now the ancestor of the blood race."

"so what?"

Lilith raised her head from the pillow and muttered softly:

“It’s not what I wanted to be…”

Ember said calmly:
"If you really don't want to be the boss, I can let Ornia be the boss."

"no!"

Lilith jumped up from the bed like a kitten whose tail was stepped on, her fur standing up, and said angrily:
"Absolutely not!"

Yu Jin laughed silently and said nothing. He just took out a ring and handed it to Lilith.

"what is this?"

Lilith looked at the emerald inlaid on the ring, which was full of scratches, and asked doubtfully.

"Sacrificial Ring."

Ember explained briefly, "It can bear death on behalf of the wearer."

As he spoke, Yu Jian slowly stretched out his hand, and flames rose from his palm.

Then, a small ring condensed in the flames.

The ring was translucent throughout, as if made of light red amber. Its top was inlaid with a blood-red gem that was half the size of a fingernail and emitted a faint light.

Yu Jin handed the ring to Lilith and said softly:
"This is for you. It contains a portion of the power of the First Fire, which is enough to support you until you become a true god."
