Chapter 3222 The Haze of Faraynes (19)

"Are you feeling better?" Schiller was bandaging the wound on Batman's head while telling him about the conversation he had with Old Silturk and what he found in the laboratory.

Batman listened silently, seeming to be thinking. When Schiller finished wrapping the bandage, he said aloud: "The key to the matter is not the secret hidden behind it, but the person who hides the secret."

"You mean old Siltek?"

"Yes, he is the person we have access to who knows the most secrets. You said that he left Faraines. This is not a good choice unless he has a reason to do so."

"Why do you say that?"

"If he wants to use his information advantage to negotiate with the church, he must ensure that he is the only one who walks out of here alive. Let's not say that we are all still alive. Even ordinary people have survivors. If he rushes to leave without cleaning up this place, he must

Something happened."

"What are you going to do next?"

Batman turned around and asked him, "Will you cooperate with me?"

Schiller put down what he was holding, came to the first row of the church seats, sat next to Batman and said, "Tell me your plan first."

"The monsters wandering in the village now are strong evidence that another kind of disaster is coming. Not only can old Siltek use his information advantage to negotiate with the church, but we can too."

"You want me to contact the church?" Schiller said softly: "But I'm afraid it's not that simple. Although I am a member of the church and theoretically may be the Pope's bodyguard, the church is also divided into many factions. I suspect some

The man is in league with old Siltek."

Schiller sighed, looked out the window behind the cross and said: "I suspect that there are some cultists within the church who are inseparable from the arrival of the deep divers. Old Silturk may be their ally, and some

Maybe it's just their pawn."

"What you mean is that among the weird things that appeared all over the world before, which may have been created by the church, some were actually not created by them, but by cultists."

Schiller nodded and told Batman about the strikingly similar characteristics of the Prowler and the Outer Gods. Batman fell into thinking again.

Obviously, the attributes in the game place great restrictions on him, slowing down his thinking speed and making him unable to think in multiple threads. But fortunately, Batman himself is strong enough, so even if he is weakened, he is still very resourceful.

.

"Do you know where Bruce and the others have gone?" Batman had just received a notification from the Beyonder. Knowing that they could chat freely without anyone around him, he asked directly.

Schiller shook his head and said: "Originally, they should have gone to find the survivors, but looking at the current activities in the village, it is unlikely that the survivors will survive. They may have left the village."

"We can't leave the village." Batman said: "The Deep Ones are a big problem. To stay ahead of Old Silturk in terms of information, we must know more."

"It seems that you have set your sights on those three ships."

"Exactly."

Although Batman's emotions were not obvious, Schiller could still see that he was very happy that someone could think of going with him. It seemed that this experience was new to him.

But Schiller can also roughly imagine why. There are really very few people who are very in tune with Batman in terms of thinking, don't need too much explanation from him, and have compatible temperaments.

"We need to prepare some things." Schiller said according to his own thoughts: "The ship must be very dangerous. There are things everywhere that will damage the mental health value just by looking at it. My skills cannot cool down so fast. We need a certain amount of

Means to combat possible dangers that may follow.”

"There are many cars on the street, we can reserve some gasoline." Batman answered naturally, and said: "I know that there should be magical power on the ship. Ordinary flames are difficult to burn, but as long as it does not completely break common sense, some physics

and chemical means are useful.”

"It will be useful." Schiller is not comforting Batman, because the Transcendent has said that this is not a magic copy, there is no heaven, hell and magicians, which means that in fact, the so-called magical power is the traditional Cthulhu

In mythology, it is forbidden knowledge that humans cannot access and understand, rather than some magical shield.

Those three ships were not made by magic. It was more likely that they were summoned through some forbidden spells. There must be many dangerous creatures on the ship, which can make people go crazy just by looking at them, but there is absolutely no way that they can breathe fire or spit water.

Pokémon, then it does not conform to the setting of low magic power levels in this world.

"Let's act separately." Schiller said proactively: "You make physical preparations, and I need to research some things to see if I can add a layer of protection to our spirits."

Batman glanced at him, not expressing distrust. Schiller understood this emotion as a kind of worry, so he said: "The more prepared you are, the less pressure I will have, but if you really find

If I can't find anything useful, I have a last resort."

The last resort mentioned by Schiller is of course the Book of the Water God. This book is certainly dangerous, but if there is nothing restricting it in the book, then it will definitely be ten times and a hundred times more dangerous than it is now.

Batman agreed with his idea, so he left the church. Schiller believed that he, like himself, already had an idea.

After Batman left, Schiller began to take stock of the resources he had. The reason why he dared to boast in front of Batman naturally relied on it.

As far as he knew, the book "Water God Ketayat" had the famous old seal on it.

The so-called investigators have three treasures: crowbar, old seal, and good teammates. Now that Schiller has got the crowbar, Batman can also be called a top teammate, so now he only lacks the old seal.

There are actually different opinions about the real origin of the old seal, but it is nothing more than a restriction left by the old rulers' sworn enemies. It is usually a small pattern drawn on the stone.

This setting also first appeared in the book "The Haze over Innsmouth". The book mentioned that the residents of Innsmouth would use some small stones carved with strange patterns to resist the attacks of the Deep Ones.

And that was the prototype of the old seal.

Later, other authors expanded this setting and set the Old Seal as something hated by the Old Ones and the Outer Gods. "Encountering the Old Seal in the old days is like a person touching feces" has also become a saying about

Classic description of the relationship between the Old Seal and the Old Ones.

This actually shows that for the Old Ones and Outer Gods, these little patterns may be a bit annoying, but assuming he can tolerate it, or if your connection with him is too deep, he can also use the old seal to kill you.

.

Even so, this can be said to be one of the few means of human resistance in the Cthulhu mythology. It is specially used to fight against alien gods like Naija who insist on messing with you even though you have not provoked him.

For Naiya, the old seal is also known as "everyone eats shit together".

But Naiya is obviously very good at eating shit, and the old seal is basically useless to him, otherwise there wouldn't be so many victims.

Later, as the setting gradually expanded and enriched, almost every outer god and old ruler had his own symbol. These symbols were not used to fight against them, but to contact them and interact with the effects of summoning spells.

same.

It's just that if you want to use symbols to summon them, the process needs to be more complicated. You need to perform activities similar to sacrifices, and you need to correctly place symbols and other secret texts. This is almost not an area that humans can study.

Even if Schiller roughly knows what the old seal looks like, this is knowledge outside the game and cannot be used directly. He must first investigate the old seal in the game before he can use this magic weapon.

They are now in Faraines, not Innsmouth, and there are no locals who can use the old seal. The only thing Schiller can count on now is the "Water God Ketayat" in his hand.

There should be old printing in this book, and its function is to prevent the filth in the book from spreading further.

But if you want to investigate the old seal, you must open this book. This is very risky for Schiller, because this book is full of crazy and filthy forbidden knowledge. Schiller does not feel that he can use his own will to

I can successfully finish reading this book.

Then he could only take a gamble and guess which page of the book the old print was on. To be precise, guess whether it was in the front, middle or back. The book was not very thick, so he only needed to guess the approximate location and look at the two pages.

You should be able to find it on page three.

Please collect_(Six\\\Nine\\\Books\\\!)

Schiller put the book in his hands and looked at it repeatedly, and soon he found that the cover of the book began to become a little damp. This was not because the air in the church was humid, but because the human skin wrapping the cover was sweating.

Although this had been expected, Schiller's mental health inevitably declined. This time the decline was a little gentler, with a cold sweat and a blur before the eyes ended.

"Transcendent, are you there? I decided to read a book."

"Are you sure?" the voice of the Beyonder sounded, he said: "I have to remind you that you obviously do not have the ability to read this book, so the test result of the dice will be very unoptimistic. If unfortunately a big failure is thrown,

, your probability of death will be 100%."

"I said I decided to watch it, but I didn't say I would watch it now." Schiller stood up and said, "Of course I will make some preparations."

"What are you going to do?"

"Summon Nyarlathotep."

"What???"

Schiller sighed and said: "Is there any better way to deal with the current situation? Dealing with Naia is like trying to steal the skin of a tiger, but dealing with other foreign gods is even more like trying to steal something from a tiger."

"The church will not sit back and watch the situation develop. Once Faraines' situation is known to them, no matter whether I am one of them or not, they will definitely not want me to leave here alive. To fight against the endless means of the church, I must

Have something to rely on.”

"No, you can't do that." The Transcendent said: "There is no reason for you to come into contact with the name Nyarlathotep in the game. If you don't know his existence, you can't summon him."

"So I have to find a way to know his existence first." Schiller walked towards the outside of the church and said: "During the time when Arrogance came to the door, who was hosting the game?"

Seeing the Transcendent's silence, Schiller sneered and said.

"I am seeking the skin of a tiger, and you are luring a wolf into the house."

Schiller arrived outside the church. At this time, the deep divers who had been pulled away by Bruce's monster had basically returned to their original positions, and they began patrolling the village again.

Schiller went around to the back of the church and saw two deep divers walking together toward the east side of the street.

Schiller did not choose to use a gun, because the sound of gunfire attracted other deep divers too easily. He rushed forward with lightning speed and hit a deep diver on the back of the head with a crowbar.

Strength check 30>20, great success.

Schiller raised his eyebrows in surprise. He didn't expect to be able to throw a big success. This was also his best luck in this game.

With a "bang" sound, the deep diver's head was smashed into pieces, and his brains splashed onto his companion's face, making the monster stunned for a moment.

"The battle begins..."

The gloomy voice sounded again.

Schiller did not attack another deep diver. Instead, after the voice sounded, he immediately asked in his mind: "Who are you?"

"You finally found out..."
