I have a Synthesizer

#193 - The Lord of Decay

After Klein and Wick's deal was concluded, Klein had a rare few days of leisure.

During these few days, he slightly brushed up on his knowledge of ancient magic. After all, he was already at the third rank, and some fixed spell models had changed and needed to be updated.

This day, in the Jay's Society library.

"Not bad! Want to try your hand, bro?"

Joe seemed very confident, and it looked like he had really made great progress.

He flicked his hair, revealing a very natural smile, but this action, combined with Joe's tone, looked to Klein like a greasy otouto, especially deserving of a beating.

"That expression, that action, you think you're hot stuff again?"

Since he was so confident, then he, as the older brother, naturally had to let Joe know the cruelty of society. Klein closed his book and stood up.

Joe's eyes also revealed fighting spirit. Klein was his goal, and now he had another chance to fight Klein, which made him a little excited.

"Boom!"

The power of shadow erupted in the ancient book section of the Jay's Society library.

Gwen on the first floor suddenly felt the vibration from the ancient section, but after a moment of doubt, she calmed down. There should only be Klein and Joe inside, so it shouldn't be a big problem.

It wasn't the first time the brothers had a little fight. This kind of mutual exchange was a healthy battle, no problem.

But just as Gwen was relieved, she suddenly became suspicious again. This time, the commotion upstairs was gone in less than a minute. Gwen frowned. Weren't they too fast?

......

Joe was sitting in the corner with a bruised nose and a swollen face, looking aggrieved.

"I just wanted to have a simple sparring session with you, to show you how well I've practiced Shadow Extension. Why did you have to hit so hard?"

Looking at Joe's current appearance, Klein scratched his nose a little embarrassedly. He seemed to have hit a little too hard, but who told you to pose in front of me? I couldn't help but hit you!

But even though he thought so in his heart, he certainly couldn't say it out loud. Joe was already so miserable, so he naturally had to comfort him.

"Well, Shadow Extension is well-practiced, you've deeply grasped my essence."

Looking at Joe, who still had a resentful look on his face, Klein quickly changed the subject.

"How are the tasks on your side progressing recently? Also, have you heard anything about the magic spirits I asked you to investigate?"

Joe felt that Klein was changing the subject, but he had no evidence, and even if he had evidence, he wouldn't dare to refute it, so he could only shake his head.

"I've heard that there have been several small-scale magic beast tides in the Skyrim Province. The armies of many cities have been mobilized, so we've been very busy with tasks recently. If we're not injured, our rest time will be shortened.

As for the news about the magic spirits, I have heard something, but no one knows where the source of this thing is."

Klein nodded. Lilith's work was still relatively reliable, and their team was strong, so there was basically no need to worry.

Klein got up and walked outside. Before leaving, he threw a book about dual extension to Joe.

"You should be quite familiar with Bone Extension. There are some ideas and uses of Bone Extension and Shadow Extension in here, all of which I developed myself. You can refer to them."

He had beaten Joe up, so he had to give him some compensation, right? After all, he was his own brother. Giving him a book to calm him down was a good thing.

Looking at his brother's back, Joe didn't know whether to laugh or cry. The last time Klein gave him Shadow Extension notes, it had given him a lot of inspiration and was very useful.

He didn't expect that after only a few months, he would give him a new magic notebook. He had just been beaten up, and he didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

Joe opened Klein's magic notebook, and the more he read, the more shocked he became.

"What exactly is in my brother's head? Extension of melee weapons, conduction of shadow power, bone mimicry! How did he come up with these?"

Joe flipped through it faster and faster, because with his strength, he couldn't use the bone extension and shadow extension methods in the later part of the notebook. He just wanted to see what else was behind.

He continued to flip through to the last few pages, which described in detail a composite usage of bone extension and shadow extension.

"A gigantic, complete skeletal torso, wielding sufficiently powerful weapons and defense, the ultimate skeletal product clad in shadow flames.

A crossed-out name? Susanoo? Why call it that name? It's weird, don't you think calling it Skeleton King would be better?"

On the last page, next to the description of the skeleton, there was also a sentence left by Klein.

"This move is called King of Decay. I'm ready, waiting for you."

Joe's pupils shrank slightly. The meaning of this sentence is...

......

When Klein came to the first floor, Gwen was staring at him.

"Klein, your fight with Joe was very fast, and it looks like you won."

Klein knew that Gwen was suspicious of his strength, but of course he wouldn't admit it at this time.

"Joe and I didn't fight, we just exchanged some insights on ancient magic. Some of his ideas were very inspiring to me, so I'm going back to try them out."

Seeing that Klein didn't admit it, Gwen didn't continue to ask.

"Well, go ahead!"

Klein brushed past Gwen, and he had a strange feeling in his heart that Gwen had the idea of fighting him.

It wasn't until Klein's figure disappeared from sight that Gwen sat down again. Just now, when she asked Klein about the fighting process with Joe, she clearly felt Klein's combat reaction.

Although Klein's disguise was quite good, Gwen's perception of subtle differences in people's bodies as a close combat master was stronger than Klein imagined.

When Klein was lying to her, Gwen even instinctively wanted to take action. This was her body's intuition. She felt danger from Klein.

"Klein's information needs to be updated. Should I tell Lord Esmond?"

Gwen rarely hesitated for a moment, then sat back in her seat. She decided not to tell Esmond for now. She wanted to find a chance to test Klein's strength first.

......

Not long after Klein left the library, he received a communication message from Becky.

"Klein?"

"I'm here!"

"A new mission has arrived."

"So soon? It's only been 5 days. Has our rest period been shortened?"

Klein was a little surprised. It seemed that the Jay's Society was really lacking combat power at the moment, but he was fine at the moment. With sufficient strength and magic power, synthesis could be carried out anytime and anywhere.

"Yes, if you were not injured in the last mission, the mission interval will be shortened."

"I see, tell me the details."

"The Plotini family received a strange threatening letter a few days ago, only saying that they wanted to take revenge on the entire Plotini family. Originally, the Plotini family didn't take it seriously at all.

Until yesterday, they received another letter saying that the second son of the Plotini family head's brother would die. This collateral young master didn't believe it at all and wanted to go out for a stroll.

Who knew that as soon as he went out, he suddenly twitched and died on the spot. The cause of death was a sudden heart attack.

Coincidentally, the head of the Plotini family, Tyrrella, the military inquisitor, is currently in Skyrim Province and will not be able to return for about a week.

So this time's mission is for us to serve as bodyguards for the Plotini family for a week. If we can investigate the truth of this threatening letter, that would be even better, according to the Security Department's original words."

"Okay, I see. Let's meet at the door. I'll go over now!"

Hanging up the communication, Klein was slightly puzzled. What puzzled him was not the murder case and the work of serving as a bodyguard.

What really made him hesitate was the Plotini family. He seemed to have heard the name of this family somewhere.

Plotini! That's right, he had once killed two vassals of the Plotini family in front of the 502 dormitory and had a conversation with Kahn.

"I didn't expect to have to protect the people of this family, but since they are all from the capital, it's not unreasonable."

After tidying up his clothes slightly, Klein walked towards the entrance of the Jay's Society.
