Mysteries: Arcana Wars

Chapter 426 Disadvantages and Turning Points

boom! ! !

With a loud bang, the newly released fully automatic wishing base station 2.0 exploded magnificently right before Klein's eyes.

The large wooden box broke into several pieces from the inside out, and some small wood chips flew everywhere in the shock wave.

Klein was startled by this sudden change. He took off immediately, gathered the broken pieces of wood together, and hurriedly put the box together.

The broken wooden board had no sockets, let alone glue. No matter how hard Klein tried to piece it together, he couldn't put the box together.

So Klein thought quickly and glanced at a giant puppet lying motionless on the ground. He suddenly became terrified and rushed forward to pull Alice's hair wildly.

His fingers dug into the long hair, but he couldn't grab a single strand. The smooth black hair passed through Klein's fingers like an illusion of nothingness, creating tiny puffs of black smoke where they passed through. He just felt like he was grabbing a ball of air.

Small problems will not stump the great Lord of Mysteries. In a hurry, Klein did not choose any other way, but used the gray mist to condense into gloves and daggers, and forcibly pulled a large handful of long black hair from Alice's head.

There is no seal that the gray fog cannot break, and no pollution that the gray fog cannot contain.

This time Klein succeeded. He quickly divided his long hair into several piles, tied them end to end into a long rope, pieced the pieces of the box together randomly, and tied them up tightly from top to bottom.

The broken pieces of wood were tightly squeezed together by the "hair rope", but there were still many gaps that could not be filled. He managed to collect some wood chips, but they could not fill the exposed holes. He could not fix them, nor could he fill them up. The explosion just now was too violent, and it made a mess of Klein's living room. Some small fragments could not be found.

Klein simply collected the sawdust and chose to find something else to fill the hole in the box.

The messy house gave Klein a lot of creative inspiration. After picking and choosing among the messy fragments, Klein could not find the right material. Either the fragments were too small to fill the wide gap, or the material was too soft and not strong enough to support the wooden board. After comparing again and again, he picked up a few pieces of mirror fragments, modified the shape according to the hole, and then stuffed them in. He then wrapped the edges with some paper flyers to fill the gap.

When the last gap was filled, the wishing machine was finally complete again.

Klein finally relaxed from the tense feeling of facing a formidable enemy and breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, looking at the cobbled-together wishing machine, Klein felt as if ten thousand alpacas were galloping through his heart.

You know, this is an extraordinary item of the Old Days level!

Just a wish, a gold coin, and it exploded!!

fried! ! !

What a big deal that is!!!

Are you making a wish or setting off an explosion? ! !

This big box of mine must have been completely broken not long after I got it, right before I could even warm it up?

...wait...that's not right!

What about the gold coin with the stars on it?

Why didn't I see the gold coin for making a wish when it exploded?

That's gold!!

Klein once again lay on the ground in a hurry, with his butt sticking up, and began to search. After searching for a while without any results, he even took out his pendulum and used the coin he had just wished for, but any form of divination could not return any useful images.

The spiritual revelation only mentioned the moment when the gold coin slipped into the coin slot, and then stopped abruptly. It was as if the gold coin was not thrown into the coin slot of the wooden box, but into the crack of the world. It slipped out of this small crack smoothly and no longer existed in this world.

The gold coins...disappeared?

Klein didn't give up. He lay on the ground and continued to grope, reaching his hand under the sofa. After finding nothing, he couldn't help but turn his head, eyes wide open, and squeezed hard into the narrow gap.

Passing through the dark base, sandwiched between a ray of light, that is...

A dark eye!!

"what!!"

Klein screamed in fear and rolled away from the sofa.

I saw a familiar head rising from behind the sofa.

"Klein, what are you looking for?"

The illusion of Melissa suddenly appeared behind the sofa, startling Klein who was obsessed with finding the gold coins.

Her arrival was silent, bringing only a little bit of distortion and haziness to reality. The moist water vapor from outside the world gently covered the tip of the nose at some point, but was naturally ignored as he concentrated on thinking.

“I’m looking for… a gold coin.

"I just put a wish into the wishing machine, but it disappeared after the machine exploded."

The little leather shoes stepped on the broken reality and walked around the sofa to Klein. Melissa grabbed a handful of gold from the air and then spread her fingers towards Klein. A yellow gold coin with a five-pointed star printed on it lay in Melissa's palm.

"Yes, that's it!"

Klein subconsciously reached out to grab it, but accidentally passed through the illusion of the gold coin.

Melissa picked up the gold star coin and showed it to Klein.

"This is the price of making a wish."

Klein suddenly slapped his thigh, and suddenly understood what had happened.

The gold coins did not disappear out of thin air, but were "consumed"!

These gold star coins are the price of your wish!

These two star coins, as a price, were stuffed into his hands from the very beginning according to the script of fate, in order to give himself two chances to turn the tide.

"When you find that the situation is off track and out of control, you can make a wish, consume star coins, and get a chance to cheat."

When Klein looked up again, the black hair on the wishing machine had actually changed color, dyed with a variety of colors.

He didn't know what this meant, but he felt a little cold sweat on his body. A kind of creepy discomfort came to him again after he had been away from humans for a long time.

“Klein, as you can see, this is a war.

"It's a pity that we were at a disadvantage in the previous struggles."

Klein was silent for a moment. He suddenly realized that the situation was many times worse than he understood.

Although in previous incidents, he arrived at the scene at the right time and played his heroic role, he actually failed to turn the tide.

No matter what contribution Klein made, the Harvest Church was still blown up, the hotel in Ishdar was still destroyed, David was never redeemed, Alan was never free, many dungeons still collapsed and sank due to riots, and some streets on the ground were still bloodbathed by exiles.

The Ferris Cult still stubbornly left bloody traces in the city of Backlund in a horrific form.

It's like a collapsing building. Everyone has completed their mission, everyone has done their best, and no one has made any mistakes, but the building still cannot be stopped from collapsing.

Looking back, Klein was already standing on the edge of a cliff, and the situation of the war was precarious.

"So, now you need a wish."

A gold coin that returns to nothingness.

A wish to change the world.

"A... miracle of shuffling the cards..."

Melissa touched the wooden box.

"It's time to start the second half, Klein."
