Secret: I can play two paths

Chapter 25 Klein's Advice
After Miss Justice and Mr. Hanged Man were offline, Klein dispelled some of the gray mist on his body and said to Senior Star:

"Senior Star, do you have anything to tell me?"

"Don't be so reserved. You can call me Star, Xiao Ke."

Star replied with a smile.

Since there is no one else around now, the gray fog is the best time for the two of them to communicate.

Xiao Ke has now become a fortune teller and is much more spiritual than before. He shouldn't be so short-sighted anymore, right?

Star was in no hurry to get to the point. Instead, he joked, "You are very good at playing the role of the Fool. I am increasingly convinced that you and the path of the fortune teller are very compatible."

Klein was speechless for a moment, so he could only cough dryly and awkwardly change the subject, "Speaking of fortune tellers, Senior Star, do you have any role-playing suggestions for me?"

Star thought about it and realized that the performance of potions was a little different for everyone, and it would be better for him to summarize the performance rules by himself.

So he just repeated the role-playing method and said, "The core of the role-playing method is to make your behavior fit the connotation behind the name of the potion. According to the name of the potion, you can understand the rules behind it, summarize the corresponding 'principles', and act according to the principles."

"You should have no problem playing the role of a fortune teller according to this requirement. However, the 'playing rules' that everyone comprehends in this process are different. Telling you everything will only hurt you."

"So, Xiao Ke, don't be lazy. Work hard and try to grasp the deeper symbolic meaning behind the name of the potion 'Fortune Teller' as soon as possible and experience its true meaning."

"Yes, Senior Star, I will."

Klein responded after hearing what Star said.

Senior Star didn't seem surprised that I became a Beyonder so quickly.

Is this his confidence in the “time travelers”?

But I always feel that Senior Star has a kind of teacher-like feeling, treating me like an elementary school student, and I have an inexplicable expectation.

Klein didn't continue his rant because Sta's next words interrupted his thoughts.

Star continued, "But you can go to the Fortune Telling Club in Tingen City. As long as you become a member, you can tell fortunes for others. Trying to be a 'Fortune Teller' will also help your role."

As if remembering something, Star added: "By the way, you just became a fortune teller. So you probably don't have any abilities except 'inspiration'. You should learn more about mystical knowledge such as astrology, card divination, dream divination, etc. Otherwise, it would be ridiculous to tell fortunes for others without knowing anything."

Senior Star, you don’t have to add the last sentence.

Klein turned his head away and thought to himself.

But this suggestion is indeed correct. I should learn more knowledge from Old Neil.

However, when he thought about the possibility that Old Neil had been contaminated by the evil god, Klein's mood darkened again.

I don’t know what senior Star would advise me to do. No, I can’t rely on him for everything, otherwise how will he see me.

Besides, Senior Star had already made suggestions when mentioning this matter.

Report it to the church?

Klein felt that he had learned something and had some ideas.

Seeing that the conversation was almost over, Star next to him turned to the main topic he wanted to talk about:
"By the way, have you summoned the messenger?"

In the past few days, he used "dice rolls" many times to ensure that "Miss Messenger" could be successfully dated by Klein when he tried the spell. Otherwise, if something unexpected happened, it would not matter if his promotion plan A was aborted, but if Mr. "Fool" was harmed by some spiritual creatures, he could not afford it.

Klein did remember this incident and said a little awkwardly, "Senior Star, after you urged me yesterday when you tried to point the spell at me, I summoned a messenger of my own the next morning."

Although I delayed it for a while because I wanted to take advantage of the church, I finally finished it in time.

Then, Klein thought of the strange messenger. He said with some resentment, "Senior Star, the spiritual creature summoned by the spell you gave me doesn't seem to be very suitable as a messenger. The sight of her carrying the headless woman with four heads seems a bit scary. Moreover, she actually charges a gold coin every time she delivers a letter!"

Of course, it is the last sentence that matters most.

Klein didn't dislike anything, he just felt it was inappropriate.

The delivery fee is one gold coin each time, which I simply cannot afford now.

Fortunately, the person who received the letter could pay for it, otherwise Klein would not know how distressed his wallet would be right now.

Sta, who was being complained about, was now thankful that he and Klein were talking on Sefirah Castle, otherwise the messenger lady would have heard it and would have "beheaded him".

Even so, Star still had a lot of complaints.

This is an angelic messenger. How dare you speak ill of Him behind His back?

Even if it's true, you can't spread it around.

Although it is a bit of a waste to use a gold coin to send a letter, it would be a pity if it is not put to better use.

Star could only calm down and comfort him casually: "The creatures in the spiritual world are so strange. There are also 4-meter-high giant white skeletons, round eyes with distinct black and white, and giant jellyfish with skulls on their tentacles. Such strange things."

Next, Star had a friendly exchange with Klein for a while.

After asking for the summoning spell of "Miss Messenger", Star said goodbye.

Just as he was about to log off, he thought of a question and asked, "Why didn't you tell the Hanged Man and the others about the spell that was directed at you? This way, it would be convenient for them to ask you for leave."

"Because... because I think that revealing it bit by bit is more in line with the identity of an ancient god who is reviving." Klein responded with a stutter when Sta mentioned this.

It couldn't be that he was choked by Miss Justice just now and forgot to say it, right?
"Sure, Xiao Ke, you know how to be an evil god."

Star praised "sincerely".

Klein touched his already hot face and said, "Senior Star, it's getting late. You should go to bed early. My spirituality is also a little insufficient."

Soon, he cut off the connection, and Star's illusory and blurry figure quickly shattered and dissipated.

Klein was the only person left in the bronze hall, sitting in a high-backed chair at the head of a long bronze table. He looked at the endless gray fog and felt that this place was finally empty and quiet.

……

On the other side, Star sat down in the study, moved his books away, and prepared to use the consecrated silver knife to create a spiritual environment to summon the messenger lady.

If everything went well, it wouldn’t be long before he could attempt to advance from Half-Step Sequence 8 to the true Sequence 8 realm.

While placing the items needed for the ceremony, Star thought of Klein's performance at the Tarot Club, and the corners of his mouth curled up: "Hey, it's really fun to tease Klein every day."
