Chapter 160 Arrodes: Yes, it's very simple
In the deacon's office, all members of "Team Klein" were present.
"This is Deacon Ikanser Bernard, who is very famous in the 'Mechanical Heart'. He is a 'mechanical expert' of Sequence 6. Well, old Blue, don't be too arrogant just because your sequence has caught up with Deacon Ikanser. Your team should still refer to the deacon's opinions more often in the future. Do you understand?" Roy patted Ikanser on the shoulder and said kindly with a warm smile on his face.
Oh shit! @#¥%! Old Blue heard that Steam was going to arrange for someone to join the team, and originally thought it was just to make up the numbers, but now he got a deacon? It would be fine if it was just an ordinary deacon, but it turned out to be Ikanser! Could it be that the thing he was holding in his hand was a "small mirror"? Isn't this going to expose my past?
“Deacon Roy, thank you for your introduction. Yes, I am Ikanser, you can just call me Ikanser. Well, I am just an ordinary member of the team. I will definitely follow the captain’s arrangements in the matter of hunting down Lanevus! Captain Blue!” Ikanser, with messy brown hair and stubbornly stretched out, dodged Roy’s shoulder “attack” without a trace, and replied with a lowered posture.
"Ikanser... Deacon, um, I'm not the captain. This one," Old Brullah turned to the young fortune teller standing behind him and said, "This is the captain of our team, Klein Moretti. I always call him Captain Klein, that's it."
Huh? Klein was brought to the front of the stage before he could figure out the situation. He waved his hand and said, "We are the 'Lucky' team, but we dare not call ourselves the 'Klein team'. Well, I am indeed Klein Moretti, Deacon Ikanser. Please take care of me in the future."
"Oh?! How lucky!" Ikanser's eyes sparkled. He raised an ancient silver mirror with patterns in his hand and said, "This is the seal of our Steam Church, '2-111'. If you are lucky enough, you can rely on it to get the answers to almost all questions without being punished. Well, do you want to give it a try?"
Shit! Ikanser! You're a social wretch, and you're going to drag your brothers down with you?
Old Bru pulled back Klein, whose eyes were also shining. He looked at Hugh, Fors, and Conse, who were eager to try, with a serious look, and said:
"Never believe such words. This is a common tactic used by scammers. I think Deacon Ikanser wants you to be familiar with the scammers' tactics so that you can investigate the next target...
"Also, Deacon Ikanser, we represent official Beyonders and are companions of the team. Before using the Sealed Artifact, you must be informed of its effects and side effects. I hope that this was just a joke."
Side effects... bracelet... mumbling! Oh my God! Fors, how come you forgot the pain after the wound healed! What if the side effect of this silver mirror is that you have to pay a price after touching it... too reckless! Fors grabbed Xio's arm and stood behind Old Blue and Klein. Cons suddenly realized and joined the "Lucky Team".
Klein felt a little ashamed. He knew very well that all sealed items would have side effects! But... because Old Blue was by his side, his teammates were by his side, and Ikanser was an official Beyonder... he subconsciously thought that there would be no danger...
[“No, I want to touch it too… I feel like it’s attracting me… It’s affecting my judgment? No way?”]
No... Klein felt the warmth radiating from the "Hiddenless Kitchen Knife" under his armpit. The kitchen knife did not give any warning, and he was not affected by the extraordinary ability at the psychological level... Was it an influence from a more mysterious level? Fate?
Ikanser awkwardly scratched his hair that looked like it had been cut by a bomb, and seeing that his good teammates who he had just met had isolated him in an instant, he quickly explained:
"Sorry! I apologize! I have never cooperated with your church before, and I assumed that my teammates knew the information about '2-111'... This is indeed my mistake. Well, 2-111 is a magical silver mirror with living properties. He is very intelligent and is called 'Arrodes'.
"To use it, just stroke the surface three times with your right palm, then shout 'Dear Adros' and ask your question. Isn't it simple?" Old Blue looked at Ikanser and touched the mirror subconsciously as if he was looking at a fool. He couldn't help but take two steps back. Is everyone here a comedian? Are comedians in this world so rebellious?
Suddenly, the surroundings seemed to become hazy, and a few lines of blood-red ancient Feysac words suddenly appeared on the surface of the silver mirror. Old Blue didn't know the ancient Feysac language, so he could only ask Klein in a low voice: "What's written on it?"
Klein replied subconsciously:
"The words meant: 'Yeah, it's easy...'
'According to the principle of reciprocity, it is my turn to ask questions... If you answer incorrectly, or lie, you will be punished.'
"These words are a bit strange. What do they mean? Uh, Mr. Blue..." Klein realized that Old Blue didn't know the "Ancient Feysac Language"! Old Blue also has areas he is not good at... He seems to be good at "Elf Language"... Well, of course, he is a descendant of elves!
"..." Old Blue retreated again, pushing the "Lucky Team" back with him, away from Ikanser who was seeking death by starting the "Social Death Question and Answer". Roy, with an expression of watching a joke, came closer.
"Ah? How come... this... Ah! No way?!" Ikanser subconsciously wanted to push the silver mirror away, but hesitated for a moment. His expression became extremely serious. He focused his attention on the mirror again, waiting for the words on it to appear.
"What happened? Is this the 'Sealed Object'? I've only seen it in information before. Is it so magical in reality?!" Xio stood on tiptoe and opened her eyes wide to see clearly what was happening in front of her.
“Fortunately, Old Blue reacted quickly… It was too dangerous!” Fors was a little scared and tried to pull Xio back. She had a premonition that something bad would happen soon!
"Could it be 'magic mirror divination'?! Is that mirror a magic mirror?" Kangs thought it was really exciting. Every day now was very fulfilling and he could encounter strange things. It was simply impossible to stop!
Old Blue decided that he had stood far enough away and explained to everyone:
"This mirror seems to follow the principle of one question and one answer. Just now, when Deacon Ikanser was demonstrating, he accidentally touched the mirror and asked a question: 'Is it very simple?'... The mirror answered 'Yes', so now should be the time for the mirror to ask questions..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the silver mirror flickered with light, and a new line of words appeared. Klein consciously translated, "Among the men present, which one do you like the most?"
"..."
Silence fell in an instant. Klein shuddered violently and took two steps back again...
