The Mysterious King

Chapter 19 Sealed Artifacts

"We are guardians, and we are also a group of wretches who are always

fighting against danger and madness."

The corridor outside the window was closed, the stone walls were cold, and

the lights in the house were bright and yellow. The lingering sound of Dunn

Smith's narration lingered in this environment, hitting Klein's heart

repeatedly, leaving him temporarily speechless.

Seeing Klein's silence, Dunn shook his head and smiled:

"Are you disappointed? Beyonders are not what you imagined. We have

been walking with danger."

"If there is gain, there must be a price." Klein calmed down from the shock

just now and answered with a measured tone.

He really didn't expect that extraordinary people have such hidden dangers

besides being glorious, extraordinary, and different from ordinary people.

However, maybe it's because he has only heard descriptions and has not

encountered them in real life, or maybe because he has been involved in this

vortex. Whenever something strange happened to him, his fear, anxiety, worry

and fear would soon be reduced to a controllable level.

Of course, it is inevitable that the thought of retreat will arise, lingering,

and refusing to leave.

"Yes, very mature and sensible..." Dunn finished the remaining sip of

coffee and added, "Also, Extraordinaries are not as powerful as you think, low-

sequence Extraordinaries, haha , why do we use 1 to represent the highest grade

and 9 to represent the lowest? This is too counterintuitive and logical. The low

sequence we usually refer to refers to the low grade, and the high number is the

beginning of the sequence chain."

"Okay, where did I just say it? Yes, Extraordinaries are not as powerful as

you think. The 'power' of low-sequence Extraordinaries cannot be compared to

firearms, let alone artillery. It's just that in some aspects, it is better than guns.

Cannons are more wonderful and more difficult to guard against. If you have

the opportunity to become an extraordinary person in the future, you must

carefully consider what I said today and don't make reckless choices."

Klein laughed at himself:

"I don't know when I will have the chance?"

If there is this opportunity, he feels that he will not miss it. Taking the

wrong potion or over-level potion can be avoided to the greatest extent. The

main hidden danger lies in the subtle influence and inspiration of the potion

itself. The unknown "dangers" you see and see.

The former has the experience reference of generations of ancestors. As

long as you don't rush to improve impatiently and master your power steadily,

the probability of losing control should be relatively low. Moreover, it is mainly

to solve the current potential dangers, understand the essence of mysticism,

and find the way to travel back. The only way to take this step is not to aim at a

high-sequence "position". If it is easy to lose control, the worst case scenario is

not to be promoted, but to stay in the original sequence and rely on knowledge

to plan the "go home" matter.

Not to mention the hidden dangers behind. Klein still remembers the

whispers that drove him nearly crazy and his head was about to explode when

he used the "Transportation Ritual". This cannot be avoided without becoming

an extraordinary. In this case, he might as well master it. A force that can be

resisted.

Thinking of this, Klein felt that the pros and cons were so clear that most of

his thoughts of retreat disappeared.

Dunn picked up the pipe again and said with a smile in his gray eyes:

"I can't give an accurate answer to this matter. If you want to become an

extraordinary person, you must first get enough credit. Maybe you can decipher

key ancient documents tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, or provide very

useful opinions on our case. ? Secondly, let's see if there are any new ideas

above, no one can tell."

"Okay, I think you should know Extraordinaries better and will no longer

make impulsive choices in the future. Now let me introduce to you the civilian

work of our Nighthawks team."

He stood up, walked to the door, pointed in the opposite direction of

"Chanis Gate" and said:

"We have an accountant, a person who is responsible for purchasing

necessary items, receiving supplies from the church and the police department,

and a part-time driver. They are all professionals and do not need to be rotated.

They have Sunday off every week. The remaining three clerical workers, It's

Roxanne, Brett and Old Neil. Their jobs include: receiving visitors, cleaning the

room, writing case documents and item declaration lists, and guarding the

weapons, materials and literature library, and strictly registering entry and

exit, collection and return, each person Each has one day off each week. Except

for Sunday, there are also rotations of night duty and rest, which are all

negotiated by oneself."

"Am I doing the same thing as Roxanne and the others?" Klein put aside

his thoughts about the Beyonders and confirmed his "job responsibilities."

"No, you don't need to. You are a professional." Dunn smiled and said,

"You have two things to do now. First, go out for a walk every morning or

afternoon. The focus is to get to Welch's residence. All roads to your house."

"Huh?" Klein looked confused.

What "job" is this?

Very professional?

Dunn put his hands into the pockets of his black windbreaker and said:

"After it is confirmed that you have really lost your memory, the case of

Welch and Naya will be closed. Similarly, the diary of the Antigonus family has

completely disappeared. We suspect that you took it with you when you left.

You hid it on the way home, so we didn't find any clues at your home. This

should be the possible reason why you committed suicide at home instead of at

the scene."

"Although you were affected by the mystery and completely forgot this

memory, the human spirit and brain are wonderful, and there may still be some

traces left. Dai Li cannot obtain them using the means of a 'psychic'. This does

not mean that they absolutely do not exist. Maybe in a familiar place, in a key

place, you will feel as if you have seen something before, as if you have done

something before."

"That's the harvest we want."

"I understand." Klein suddenly realized.

The Nighthawks' inferences about the whereabouts of the diary were

indeed reasonable.

Among the people present at that time, I was the only one who was still

alive, and I was the only one who had the time and "motivation" to take the

diary away and hide it halfway!

"If you can find that diary like this, you should be able to get enough credit

to become an extraordinary person." Dunn Smith encouraged, indirectly

revealing that the diary is still important.

"Hope." Klein nodded.

Dunn changed the subject again:

"Second, you take one day off every week. You can decide which day it is for

the time being. When you are not outside, go to the weapons depot and read the

documents and classics we have preserved. This is the job of history

professionals. Once you have finished reading them all, you can It's time to

rotate with Old Neil and the others."

"Okay, no problem." Klein breathed a sigh of relief.

It's not something too difficult...

At this time, Dunn turned around half-way, pointed at the black iron door

with seven holy emblems engraved on it and said:

"This is the 'Chanis' door, which comes from the name of Archbishop

Chanis, the founder of the modern Nighthawk system. There is a door under

the central church of every big city."

"It is guarded by regular members of the Nighthawks in rotation, and there

are at least two 'watchers' within the church, as well as countless traps. You

must not approach it at will, otherwise you will be contaminated with bad

luck."

"Sounds awesome." Klein made a speech.

"It is divided into several areas, which contain a certain sequence of potion

formulas and various magical materials. Heretics, alien species, cultists and

members of secret organizations are temporarily detained. Haha, they will

eventually be sent to the church." Deng En introduced casually.

Holy church? The headquarters of the Church of the Goddess of the Night,

the "Church of Tranquility" located in Winter County in the northern part of

the kingdom? Klein nodded slightly as if thinking.

"In addition, there are copies of various high-density documents and

classics inside. When your authority is upgraded, you may have the opportunity

to read them." Dunn pondered for a moment and then said, "On the ground

floor behind the Chanis Gate, there are some Sealed object.”

"Sealed object?" Klein chewed the word.

It sounds like a proper noun.

"Some of the extraordinary items we collect and obtain are so important

and magical that if they are obtained by evil people, they will cause great

damage. Therefore, they must be kept strictly confidential and strictly guarded.

Even we ourselves must be kept secret under certain circumstances. Only then

can it be used, and..." At this point, Dunn Smith paused before saying, "And

some of them are very special. They have some kind of 'alive' characteristics,

which will lure the watchers and affect the surroundings. It will escape on its

own, causing catastrophic consequences and must be strictly controlled."

"It's amazing." Klein said with emotion.

"The Nighthawks headquarters divides these sealed objects into four

levels. Level 'o' means very dangerous, the highest level of attention, the

highest level of confidentiality. It cannot be inquired about, cannot be spread

outside, cannot be described, cannot be spied on, and can only be sealed

underground in the 'Temple'. ." Dunn introduced in detail, "'Level1' is highly

dangerous and can be used on a limited basis. The confidentiality level is for

diocesan bishops and night watch deacons and above. The central church of

Backlund and other diocesan headquarters can save one or two pieces, and the

remaining It must be handed over to the 'Temple'."

"'Level 2' is dangerous, be cautious and use it sparingly. The

confidentiality level is for bishops and Nighthawk squad leaders and above.

Three to five items can be kept in the central churches of major cities, and the

rest can be handed over to the 'sacred church' or the diocesan headquarters

nearby. Level '3' is somewhat dangerous and must be used with caution. It

requires the action of three or more people to apply, and the confidentiality

level reaches the official member of the Nighthawks."

"When you see the corresponding documents in the future, you should

understand what it represents through the numbers. For example, 2-125 is the

dangerous sealed item No.125."

As Dunn spoke, he suddenly turned around, walked back to the room, and

pulled out a piece of paper from the bottom of the drawer:

"By the way, take a look at this. Three years ago, a new archbishop lost

control. He somehow managed to get past all the protection and mysteriously

disappeared with a '0' level sealed object. Do you recognize his photo? , if you

find anything, don't be alarmed, don't disturb, come back and report,

otherwise, you will be 1,000 percent killed in the line of duty.”

"What?" Klein took the paper and found that he didn't look up, only a

black-and-white photo and a few lines of text:

"Ince Zangwill, male, 40 years old, former archbishop, 'gatekeeper' who

failed to be promoted, was seduced by the devil, degenerated into evil, and

absconded with the sealed artifact '0-08'. The specific characteristics are... "

According to the photo and the description, Ince Zangwill is wearing a

double-breasted pure black clergy robe and a soft hat. His hair is dark blond,

his pupils are blue to almost black, and his nose is high. His lips were pursed

tightly, and his facial features were like classical sculptures without any

wrinkles. The most eye-catching sign was that he was blind in one eye.

"There is a detailed description of the Fallen, but there is only one

codename for the Sealed Artifact..." Klein truthfully expressed his first feeling.

"So it is the highest level of confidentiality. The search and communication

for the '0-08' sealed object is all oral, not written, and there is only a little

information about it." Dunn sighed, "The appearance of '0-08' is A common

quill, but it can write without ink, that's all.”

Dunn didn't say much about this matter. He took out a gorgeous pocket

watch of the same color along the golden chain on his black windbreaker,

clicked it open, took a look, pointed to the door and said:

"I've said everything I need to say. You go to the weapons depot to find Old

Neil and ask him to arrange specific literature reading for you. He is not an

ordinary civilian employee. He was once a formal member, but he is older. , has

not been promoted, is in poor health, and is no longer suitable for handling

cases, and is not willing to turn into an internal 'caretaker' or directly

recuperate at home, he only wants to be with literature and classics."
