Lord of the Mysteries
Chapter 32
Klein looked at dark-blue gelatinous liquid, finding it hard to describe it as either a block or cup of liquid. He swallowed his saliva and said in great difficulty, “Am I to drink it just like that?
“Is there no need for any other preparations? Like a ritual, an incantation, or a prayer?”
Old Neil acknowledged tersely before saying, “Preparation? There is. Get a cup of Intis Aurmir grape wine, suck on a Desi cigar, then whistle a relaxing tune, and dance a upbeat court dance. You can do a tap dance if you prefer that. Finally, play a round of Gwent cards…”
When he saw Klein’s expression turn dumbfounded, Old Neil laughed and summarized what he had just said.
“If you feel nervous.”
…You are quite humorous, aren’t you…? The corners of Klein’s mouth twitched as he resisted the urge to draw his gun.
He put his cane down and extended his right hand. As though he held something heavy, he raised the opaque cup. The smell of the potion was faint and seemingly ethereal.
“Lad, do not hesitate. The more you hesitate, the more nervous and afraid you will be. That will only affect the absorption that follows,” said Old Neil with his back facing Klein. It was as though he had said it casually.
It was unknown when he arrived by the nearby water basin. He turned on the tap and washed his hands.
Klein nodded silently and took a deep breath. Just like he was back when he was a child, he pinched his nose and drank it like medicine. He moved the opaque cup to his mouth and tipped his head, drinking it down with a gulp.
A cool and smooth feeling quickly filled his oral cavity. It then flowed through his gullet and into his stomach.
The sticky, dark-blue liquid seemed to grow out thin and long tentacles, bringing stimulation and coldness to every cell in Klein’s body.
He could not help but convulse as his vision rapidly went into a blur. All colors seemed to saturate. The reds were redder, the blues were bluer, and the blacks were blacker. The rich colors blended like an impressionist painting.
Klein had seen such a scene before. It was back when he was questioned by the Spirit Medium, Daly.
At that moment, his vision became a blur and although his mind felt light, it was clear. He felt like a castaway floating in the sea.
Slowly, his surroundings turned discernible. All the colors returned to their original as a grayish and blurry fog emanated.
Around him were bodies he found difficult to describe. There were transparent objects that did not seem to exist. Deep down, there were clean light clusters of different colors. The light seemed to possess life or contain immense knowledge.
This is a little similar to what I saw during the luck enhancement ritual… As Klein instinctively looked down, he realized that ‘he’ was still standing in his original spot, body convulsing.
Suddenly, he came to a realization, causing his consciousness to sink abruptly and fuse with him.
Boom!
The fog quickly dissipated as the colors restored to normal. The bright, clear halo and the inexistent objects instantly vanished.
The scene in the alchemy room returned to normal, but Klein felt his head swell. He felt like it was being yanked apart. Whatever he saw had countless afterimages. His ears were overwhelmed by an ethereal murmur.
“Hornacis… Flegrea… Hornacis… Flegrea… Hornacis… Flegrea…”
Klein felt a stabbing pain at his forehead as he quickly had thoughts of causing destruction to vent the discomfort in him.
