Chapter 136 Farewell
Chapter 136 Farewell
Azik took out a one-sol note from his wallet and handed it to Klein.
Fortunately, I have some change on me... Klein thought to himself as he took the banknote and pulled out a few pennies from his pocket, only to see that Mr. Azik had already stood up from his chair and was about to leave.
"Please wait a moment, Mr. Azik," Klein called out quickly, "Divination only costs eight pence."
"I know, tips are included." Azik nodded, gently and kindly, like a loving elder.
this...
Klein hesitated for a second before accepting the tip. He turned to thank Mr. Azik and said goodbye.
Very good, a good start!
Klein raised the corner of his mouth, looking forward to the next fortune-teller.
But to his disappointment, the term "real fortune teller" was spread along with his name, and fortune seekers would always say when recommending him: "Mr. Moretti is a real fortune teller, a fortune teller who is not moved by money."
The subsequent fortune tellers strictly followed the principles of the fortune teller Mr. Moretti.
After seeing off the third fortune-teller, Klein stood up from his chair, picked up the cane leaning against the table, and left the Fortune Teller's Club. Instead of returning home, he went to the Silver Crown Restaurant.
Leonard has become a Red Glove and will leave Tingen tomorrow to go to Backlund for special training.
Before leaving, he reserved a table at the Silver Crown Restaurant and invited all of Tingen's night watchmen, including Klein.
Klein told Melissa and Benson yesterday that he would not be home for dinner today.
Thinking of this, Klein couldn't help but sigh.
He digested the potion very quickly, so it didn't take two months. The two months reserved were actually for accumulating contributions. His contribution in the Evil God's Offspring incident was not enough to exchange for the fortune teller's sequence eight and sequence seven potions at the same time.
If Klein didn't make enough contributions within two months, he would ask Eve to create some extraordinary events. However, Klein still hoped to take the normal path as much as possible. This was his last resort. He always stayed in the Fortune Teller Club with the intention of looking for extraordinary events.
The wheels rolled forward, and the sound of horse hooves continued to ring out, then gradually slowed down and finally disappeared.
The carriage stopped by the roadside. Klein got off the carriage and walked into the restaurant.
He thought he had arrived early, but he didn't expect that half of the people had already arrived.
When Klein sat down, Roshan was holding the menu and ordering food, muttering, "Intis fried foie gras...Feysac potato pancakes...fruit salad, oh, salad, I can have one, I like salad. Hey, Klein, you're here."
The girl looked up at Klein, handed over the menu in her hand, and asked, "Is there anything you want?"
"Oh, wait a minute." Before Klein could say anything, Roxanne suddenly withdrew her hand holding the menu. "I forgot to order a drink. I'll have a cup of Fernando black tea."
After saying that, the girl stood up and handed the menu to Klein.
Klein took the menu and ordered a cheese steak, a smoked salmon, and a bottle of cider.
After about five minutes, all the night watchmen arrived.
After enjoying the delicious food, the party ended.
Klein was about to leave when Leonard gestured to him to stay.
After everyone left, Leonard approached Klein mysteriously and pulled out a saber. A cold light flashed across Klein's brown eyes.
"Klein."
In Leonard's hands, the saber was extremely flexible, flying between his fingers like an excellent dancer.
This seems like the prelude to a murder case... Klein complained in his mind.
The saber was suddenly thrown into the air and fell straight down. Klein subconsciously took a step back, worried that he would be hit by the saber. However, Leonard did not dodge or avoid it. He reached out and firmly grasped the handle of the saber.
"For you." Leonard pushed the hand holding the knife forward and whispered with a smile, "Last time I saw you staring at this knife."
Klein understood and knew that Leonard had misunderstood.
He opened his mouth and wanted to explain, but suddenly it occurred to him that there was a real possibility that Leonard had been deceived, and that this possibility was not small.
Was Leonard really deceived?
Klein thought for two seconds and said, "Leonard, do you like sabers? There are several sabers. Are they all like this, um... shiny?"
If Leonard just bought one out of curiosity, then let's not talk about it.
"I wouldn't say I like them, I was just curious when I saw them, and their appearance really suits my taste." Leonard said, "Besides this one, there are four more, all like this, I bought them from a merchant in Lundburg. Actually, I only wanted to buy one, but he said if I bought five, he would charge me only the price of four."
Klein was silent.
What an obvious consumer trap, Mr. Poet... Klein complained in his mind... But if he just bought it out of curiosity, I won't remind him.
Pah!
Klein was thinking when he suddenly felt a hand patting his shoulder.
He subconsciously reached for the revolver under his armpit and turned his head to look vigilantly.
Sister?
"Hey, my dear Klein," Eve patted Klein's shoulder again and said with a smile, "Are you surprised? Are you surprised?"
Klein was stunned for a moment, then he immediately got into character and said respectfully, "Your Highness, why are you here?"
Although the elder sister did not explicitly state the relationship between them, no matter what kind of relationship it was, in the eyes of outsiders, Eve was a mysterious person who suddenly appeared beside Klein and treated him very well.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Therefore, Klein's attitude towards Eve should be respectful and distant, or at most a little close.
Leonard didn't react to Eve's appearance for a while, and was only brought back to his senses by Klein's voice after he spoke.
"Your Highness."
Leonard followed Klein and immediately greeted him.
In an instant, he lost his usual casual look and looked respectful and steady.
The moment Eve appeared, Pales' nerves immediately tensed up, ready to change hosts at any time.
Although it is unknown why Eve did not hand Him over to Amon, Pales has not forgotten that Eve contributed to the downfall of Jacob's family.
In Pales' eyes, Eve's attitude towards Amon is extremely ambiguous. She does not support him on the surface, but secretly gives Amon some help.
Therefore, even if Eve sent a friendly message to Pales now, Pales was still very wary, otherwise he would not be so anxious to let Leonard go to Backlund.
"Don't be nervous," Eve said with a smile, "I'm just here to say farewell to an old friend."
Old friends?
Leonard was stunned. The old man had a good relationship with His Highness?
Pales can't read Leonard's thoughts, nor does he need to. He can tell what this kid is thinking by looking at his reactions.
Pales snorted coldly and asked Leonard to say hello on his behalf.
"Actually, I came here for another reason," Eve crossed her arms and said, "The extraordinary characteristic I gave you came from a demigod from the Jacob family."
Pales was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Eve could actually get the demigod characteristics of the Jacob family. For him, it was more difficult to get the demigod characteristics of the Jacob family than the demigod characteristics of the Amon family.
The former is really hard to find and is extremely rare.
If this was the only demigod left in Jacob's family... Pales had the urge to scold Amon and Eve, but his good upbringing prevented him from doing so.
"This demigod has another student," Eve continued, "You have absorbed the characteristics of that young lady's teacher, so why don't you take care of that young lady?"
"I see."
Pales thought for two seconds and answered.
Leonard immediately repeated what Pales said, dutifully acting as a messenger.
Eve chuckled twice, waved to Leonard and left, as if she really just came to say goodbye to an old friend.
Klein and Leonard looked at each other, took the sabers, and followed Eve away.
(End of this chapter)Chapter 137 Overturn
Chapter 137: Overturned
Leonard left Tingen.
Klein still went to the Fortune Teller Club every day, hoping to find extraordinary events to accumulate his own contributions.
It was a pity that extraordinary events were rare, and Klein had not encountered one yet. However, he was not in a hurry and waited day by day.
Until Miss Elizabeth, Melissa's classmate, gave him a clue to the extraordinary events.
What surprised him was that this extraordinary event actually had an "unexpected surprise".
…
The thick dark curtains on Narcissus Street
blocked the windows, helping the homeowners to keep the sunlight out. Although it was getting late and there was no sunlight, they were still not opened.
In the dim room, Eve, wearing a beige nightgown, squatted on a wooden chair, her eyes fixed on the book spread out on the table. She held a piece of paper in her hand and kept folding the paper into various shapes, then took it apart and folded it again. The origami shapes were a bit ugly but you could still tell what kind of shape it was.
New creases kept appearing on the white paper, like scars, making the paper soft and wrinkled.
Eve felt a little bored. Her sudden interest came and went quickly. She casually closed her palms, squeezing the paper, and gradually turned it into a ball of paper.
The girl turned her palm over and rubbed the paper ball with her hands, one on the left and one on the right. Suddenly, she pulled back her right hand and the paper ball jumped out of her palm in an instant, drew an arc in the air and landed on the book on the table, bounced twice on the book, and finally landed on the book.
"Full marks."
Eve thought to herself as she pulled her legs out, no longer curled up on the chair. Then she put her knees on the edge of the table and leaned back suddenly. The front legs of the chair left the ground under her action, and the entire wooden chair was now supported only by the two edges of the back legs.
Her long black hair was scattered in the air, swaying with the movement of the wooden chair.
Eve curled her legs slightly, shortened the distance between herself and the wooden table, and reached out to take the book on the table.
Suddenly, Eve felt a burning pain in her body, but the severe pain disappeared without a trace in an instant.
Eternal Sun?
Eve felt a little confused, so she pulled her legs back from the edge of the table, leaned forward, and sat on the chair.
He "saw" a bright flame suddenly burst out from his clone in Backlund's body, which devoured the clone in an instant, leaving no ashes behind.
Strange?
Eve recalled carefully and confirmed that she should not have offended Him.
So what is He angry about?
After thinking for a few seconds, Eve turned her gaze to the full-length mirror in the living room. As a witch, there were many mirrors in her residence.
Under Eve's gaze, the full-length mirror rippled, revealing a figure that Eve was extremely familiar with—Klein.
Eve had an unexpected yet reasonable feeling. She touched her chest, frowned slightly, and had some guesses about the current situation.
You are really worthy of me... Eve smiled bitterly in her heart... If Klein provoked the Eternal Blazing Sun in Sefirah Castle... then He would know why the Eternal Blazing Sun was so angry.
Eve sighed silently in her heart and prepared to go to Klein to ask for details.
The divination result did not show Klein's exact location, but the thick gray fog floating around Klein explained everything.
Eve stood up and walked four steps backwards in the middle of the living room, muttering:
"Blessings to the Immortal Xuan Huang."
"Blessings to the Heavenly Sovereign Xuan Huang."
"Blessings beget the God of Xuan Huang."
"Blessings to the Heavenly Master Xuan Huang."
Klein opened the gate of Sefirah Castle to Him.
Eve climbed up to Sefirah Castle and slowly walked to Klein's side. She looked up and down at the somewhat embarrassed Klein and said in a surprised tone, "Mr. Fool, what's wrong with you?"
Klein couldn't help but roll his eyes at Eve. He touched his still rising and falling chest and said with a sense of relief after a disaster, "I was almost burned to death by the Eternal Sun."
"Don't worry," Eve patted Klein's shoulder and consoled him, "He didn't really want to kill you, otherwise you wouldn't even be left with ashes now."
Just like my clone in Backlund... Eve added silently in her heart.
"Tell me about it," Eve sat in Miss Justice's seat and said with an attentive look, "Let me hear about your feat. A Sequence Eight dared to challenge a true God. You can definitely get first place in the Fifth Epoch's most courageous Beyonder selection, if there is such a selection."
"It's a pity that there is no such strange selection. I can't get the first place reward." Klein also laughed at himself.
He paused for a few seconds, organized his words, and narrated what had happened in full.
Eve's expression gradually became solemn, and things were indeed as he had expected.
Klein looked directly at the Eternal Blazing Sun in Sefirah Castle, which was equivalent to Eve taunting the Eternal Blazing Sun while telling him that she had deceived him.
However, the situation is still under control. The Eternal Sun only destroyed an insignificant clone to vent his anger, which was also an indirect way of expressing his attitude. He was dissatisfied but still willing to maintain a good relationship with Eve.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
After all, the balance of victory had already tipped towards Eve, and since the matter was already settled, there was no way he would give up his own Chaos Witch out of a momentary fit of anger.
I just don't know whether the Eternal Sun will share this little knowledge with the Lord of Storms, the God of Knowledge and Wisdom, but it doesn't matter whether he shares it or not.
It was only a matter of time before Klein was exposed to the sight of the gods.
Klein noticed that Eve's face was becoming more and more serious. His heart suddenly hung in the air, and he asked nervously, "What's wrong?"
"It's serious."
Eve clasped her hands together and rested them on her chin, staring at Klein with a serious expression.
Klein suddenly felt as if his heart was being tightly grasped by a large hand, and his breathing stagnated.
Eve looked at Klein in silence for a long time before she slowly spoke, "Actually..."
"It's not that serious. It's serious but not too serious," Eve said. "This may not be a bad thing for you. Of course, you can't look directly at the Eternal Blazing Sun anymore. Be careful that He will beat you up."
Klein finally let out the breath that had been choking him. "I know."
Klein guessed that if he looked directly at the Eternal Blazing Sun once more, it might be able to directly locate the Source Castle.
Eve glanced at Klein, then looked away.
The end of the world is approaching, and in order to cultivate a lord of mysteries as quickly as possible, the gods will make certain concessions.
The three gods would not support Amon. If Klein continued to grow at his current rate, he might gain the support of the three gods.
Whether this is a good thing or a bad thing depends mainly on whether Klein has the will to become the Lord of Mysteries.
Thinking of this, Eve couldn't help but sigh and rubbed her hair.
In his mind, Bethel was the most suitable candidate for the Lord of Mysteries, Amon was the second choice, and Zhou Mingrui...
All Eve can do now is to make him a Sequence 2 angel as soon as possible.
As for the rest, it depends on Zhou Mingrui's choice.
(End of this chapter)Chapter 138 Sun Talisman
Chapter 138: Sun Talisman
"One more thing."
Klein imagined the painting he saw floating in the air. He waved his hand and the painting floated in front of Eve.
"This is a portrait of the first Baron Ramde."
Eve raised her hand and took the floating oil painting in her hand. Her sea-blue eyes lowered and her gaze scanned the painting back and forth twice.
The first Baron Ramde in the oil painting wears a white curly wig, has soft facial features, bronze skin, and an inconspicuous black mole near his right earlobe.
It is very obvious that the first Baron Ramd is Mr. Azik Eggers.
Eve raised her head and moved her gaze to Klein. She threw the painting to him and signaled Klein to continue.
"This first Baron Ramde looks exactly like Mr. Azik. This can't be a coincidence," Klein steadily caught the painting, turned it over, and pointed to the portrait of the first Baron Ramde on the painting, facing Eve. "I plan to tell Mr. Azik about this. Maybe it will help him remember the past."
"Um."
Eve nodded, changed to a more comfortable position, leaned forward, supported her face with her right hand, and asked casually, "So, you want me to go with you?"
Klein nodded and placed the portrait in his hand on the long bronze table. "Perhaps after seeing you, Mr. Azik will think of more."
"Hmm..." Eve hesitated for two seconds before speaking: "It's not impossible. After all, I don't have anything urgent to do. You can decide the time."
"The Tarot Club will end tomorrow afternoon. The captain and I are in Ramde Town now, and we can only go back tomorrow." Klein said thoughtfully.
"Okay." Eve replied, supporting herself on the bronze table with both hands, and stood up. She was about to leave when Klein suddenly stopped her.
Eve turned back and looked at Klein.
Klein looked at Eve in front of him, and a wonderful idea suddenly came to his mind. If he opened his clairvoyance now, he should be able to get a lot of assassin's potion formulas and precious extraordinary knowledge from Eve for free, and the formulas were super complete formulas with substitutes.
Klein kicked this thought out of his mind the moment it appeared. After all, his sister had already taught him such precious extraordinary knowledge for free. If he did the same thing again, it would be too much. He couldn't just fleece the sheep.
Moreover, there are no extraordinary people in the Tarot Club who have other assassin paths except Eve, so the transaction can only be done offline.
Both potion recipes and spells are difficult items to sell in an extraordinary gathering, the latter because of time constraints and the former because it is difficult to distinguish the authenticity.
What's more, the feeling of looking directly at God is quite terrible.
Random thoughts quickly appeared and left his mind. Klein coughed twice to suppress the fluttering thoughts in his mind and said, "Can you give me some materials to make the 'Sun' spell? I want to use the blood of the eternal sun in '3-0782' to make the spell. It would be best if you can give it to me within an hour."
"Using divine blood to make a spell, what a generous move." Eve raised her eyebrows and said with a smile in her eyes, "You are worthy of being Mr. Fool."
No, I am not a "fool"...
Klein felt the temperature on his face rising. He lowered his head, looking around, not daring to look at Eve.
This was not the first time. Every time Eve called him "Fool", Klein felt that his embarrassment was about to break through the atmosphere and rush into the universe.
"Haha," Eve laughed, "The spell made from the divine blood is very powerful. It's more than just a spell. The divine blood can be said to be a super buff."
Eve stretched out her index fingers and crossed them together to form a "cross". "I have a magical item that also contains divine blood."
After saying this, He put down His hands and did not continue to introduce His magical items. Instead, He reminded Klein, "But there may be some dangers in the manufacturing process. I will keep an eye on you."
Klein nodded, said "thank you", and watched Eve leave Sephira Castle.
Eve on Daffodil Street
took out the spell materials one by one from the mirror.
A carving knife, two thin gold sheets, "Sun" essential oil extracted from a mixture of black-edged sunflowers, gold-edged sunflowers, and white-edged sunflowers, tangerine powder, rosemary powder, and three candles.
Eve placed all the materials on the table, checked them, and began to offer sacrifices to Klein.
Klein had been waiting on Sefirah Castle. When he saw the Sacrifice Gate take shape, he immediately pushed it open and got the materials he needed.
The moment the materials appeared, Klein noticed the two thin pieces of gold in the pile of materials.
The symbolic metal of the Eternal Flame is gold, which is even more expensive than the goddess's silver, and is the most expensive of the ritual materials.
Klein silently mourned for his wallet for two seconds in his heart, closed his eyes, and wrapped himself in spirituality to simulate the feeling of falling.
Eve did not send Klein the essential oils and other spiritual materials needed for the sacrificial ceremony, but it didn't matter. As the Fool himself, he didn't need to please the gods at all.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Eve turned her gaze towards Klein, and in her ocean-blue eyes, Klein found a secret place, performed the sacrifice and bestowed the gift, and finally began to make the talisman.
He noticed that the prayer phrase Klein used when making the spell was recited in the ancient Hermetic language, which was unprotected but extremely effective. The first sentence was "Blood of the Eternal Blazing Sun." In this way, the object of the prayer bypassed the Eternal Flame and became the mutated Sun Medal.
He was probably afraid that the Eternal Sun would recognize him as the blasphemer who dared to look directly at the gods.
Quite cautious, but unfortunately it is not so easy for the gods to conceal things.
Although Klein had done everything he could to avoid the Eternal Sun as much as possible, Eve still noticed the Eternal Sun's gaze directed at Klein.
As the spell drew to a close, Klein began to change. He began to sweat and the edges of his hair slowly curved.
Eve watched as Klein picked up a carving knife and drew symbolic symbols, corresponding spiritual numbers, magical signs, and ancient spells on both sides of the gold piece.
As the last stroke fell, Klein regained consciousness.
Eternal Sun and Eve withdrew their gazes at the same time.
Klein finally breathed a sigh of relief after he had safely created the Sun Spell. Although he had his sister's protection, Klein was still very worried, and he added some protective measures himself, allowing his ritual to bypass the Eternal Sun and pray directly to the mutated Sun Medal.
Klein carefully observed the sun spell. The spirituality on both sides of the gold piece was closer to divinity, and they suddenly connected into a whole.
One more trump card... Klein thought happily in his heart.
(End of this chapter)Chapter 139 Shared Favored One
Chapter 139 Shared Favored One
In the gray fog, the magnificent palace is like the setting sun in the long river of time, mottled and magnificent.
Klein knew they could begin after Eve climbed up to Sefirah Castle, but he still took out his pocket watch to check just in case.
The minute hand was indeed pointing to the number twelve.
Klein raised his hand and touched three crimson stars one by one. Red light gushed out like a fountain, quickly gushing out and gradually dissipating. After the red light faded, three figures appeared in the gray fog.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Fool~"
Miss Audrey is as lively as ever, and greets the "Fool" in a cheerful tone.
"This time I collected two more pages of Roselle's diary."
Audrey held up two fingers, her tone carrying a little pride. Now she was the person who contributed the most in the entire Tarot Club and could directly exchange knowledge and formulas from Mr. Fool.
"very good."
Klein nodded. The progress of Justice's collection was beyond Klein's expectations. After all, the first time he got Roselle's diary, there were only three pages. According to his speculation, it would be more difficult to obtain them later.
Alger covered his hands tightly, feeling a sense of crisis in his heart. He could feel that his role in the Tarot Club was decreasing.
He did not take out the Roselle diary in these Tarot meetings, and he was far inferior to the "Queen" in terms of extraordinary knowledge.
Eve noticed Alger's abnormality, her eyes moved, but there was no fluctuation in them.
He knew what Alger was worried about.
Alger concealed his ambition very well. Eve claimed that she had no ability to judge people, but her three thousand years of experience allowed her to see through many things based on experience alone.
This is what it means to be wily as you age... Eve complained in her heart.
Eve withdrew her thoughts and turned to look at Miss Audrey.
Miss Audrey had already imagined the two pages of Russell's diary and handed them to Klein.
Crane picked up this week's Russell diary and began to read.
"November 3, Matilda is three months pregnant. I now think those maids from the countryside are pretty. No, I can't lower my class and style. It just so happens that Countess Fulais invited me to a private party, hehe."
"November 8th..."
"On November 9, Archbishop Aistin told me that after becoming a Sequence 5 Beyonder, the next part can be replaced by the sequences corresponding to one or two other paths, that is, starting from the middle sequence to the high sequence.
I have known this knowledge for a long time, and I now know as much extraordinary knowledge as the bishop. "
"April 9th, the Church of the Eternal Blazing Sun, the Church of the Lord of Storms, the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom... these are things that can be used and are worth thinking about."
"On April 13, I attended a gathering of that ancient organization. I didn't expect that they were also members of this organization. It was really frightening."
"It turns out that the second Blasphemous Slate is in the hands of this organization. This is the first time I've seen this legendary artifact!"
"Sure enough, it hides unimaginable secrets. Hehe, maybe one day in the future, I will make a blasphemous slate of my own. No, a set of blasphemous slates, each of which will contain an ultimate secret!"
Great Emperor, can't you just write down the name of this ancient organization... Klein frowned slightly and thought with some exhaustion.
Is it true that the Riddler is a necessary condition for becoming a high-ranking being…
However, from this page of the diary, Klein confirmed that Emperor Roselle had indeed seen the second blasphemous slate and had also copied a set of cards.
In other words, the legendary deck of tarot cards does exist.
Klein became more and more curious about the mysterious organization. What kind of organization was it that actually possessed the second blasphemous slate?
"You don't have to wait for me."
Klein withdrew his thoughts and looked at The Hanged Man, Justice, The Sun, and Eve.
"It's our pleasure."
Everyone answered humbly.
Audrey looked around and found that no one spoke, so she lowered her head and thought for a few seconds.
Except for the unknown "Queen", other Tarot Club members have no need to purchase formulas and materials for the time being. Take herself as an example. Although she is only a Sequence Nine, she already has the formulas for Sequence Eight and Sequence Seven, so there is nothing to worry about in terms of materials.
Now only Mr. "The Hanged Man" purchased a pair of dragon-eye sea eagle's eyes at the last Tarot Club.
After thinking for a while, Audrey said, "Mr. Fool, the method of selecting civil servants through public examinations that you described earlier has been approved by the King and the Prime Minister. It will soon be passed by the House of Lords and the House of Commons, and is expected to enter the formal implementation stage early next year."
Alger habitually sneered, "It seems that the king and the prime minister still have brains."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
I wonder if the Kingdom of Loen will have 23,000 civil servants in the future... Eve thought with a faint smile.
With Benson's intelligence and hard work, he should be able to pass both grammar and accounting... But in such a short time, it would be hard for Benson to surpass those elite graduates from various universities... He could choose a job with less competition... Klein thought to himself, worrying about his brother.
After she finished speaking, Audrey remembered something else and immediately asked,
"I've recently come into contact with some Beyonders and learned about a strong man named Mr. A, Mr. Fool, Mr. 'Hanged Man', and Ms. 'Queen'. Do you know his background and true identity?"
Alger glanced at the "Queen" cryptically, and after confirming that she had no intention of speaking, he took the initiative to answer the question.
"Thank you very much," Audrey said cheerfully, "What do I have to give?"
Alger clasped his hands together and said in a deep voice, "I would like to entrust you with a favor in exchange for your answer and more money."
"What?" Audrey asked in confusion.
Alger thought for a few seconds and said, "I have received intelligence that the great pirate Qi Lingos, known as "Vice Admiral Hurricane", has secretly landed and headed for Backlund. His purpose is unknown. I need you to find his whereabouts. As for the follow-up, you don't need to take any risks."
"Lieutenant General Hurricane!"
Audrey was stunned for a moment, her eyes slightly widened, and she felt a little excited, as if she was the protagonist of an adventure novel about to embark on a journey.
After becoming an Extraordinary Person, what Audrey looks forward to most is meeting legendary characters and having a wonderful and unforgettable adventure.
"Yes, he is a Sequence 6 of the 'Sailor' Path. He possesses a powerful magical item and is extremely brutal. Don't try to deal with him."
At this point, Alger suddenly turned to Klein and said devoutly, "Mr. Fool, may I ask for the help of your followers? I will pay you whatever reward you are interested in."
Eve turned her gaze to Alger and thought to herself, "It seems that Mr. Hanged Man and that pirate have some past."
My beloved is myself... Klein complained in his heart.
"Can."
Klein glanced around and paused for a moment on Eve. He saw Her smile at him and said in his heart, "The Shared Favored Ones should learn more about this."
(End of this chapter)Chapter 140 Catch
Chapter 140 Catch
Alger's breathing stagnated. This was a good thing for him, but Mr. Fool agreed too easily, which made Alger a little uneasy.
"Thank you for your help." Alger lowered his head, suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, and said humbly and respectfully.
Hmm...
Mr. "The Hanged Man" placed his hands on the table, crossed his fingers as if praying, and kept pressing his fingers hard. Hmm... this is a subconscious action of many people when they are nervous. Is Mr. "The Hanged Man" nervous?
Audrey noticed the little movement that Alger inadvertently revealed, and her eyes were secretly placed on the "Hanged Man". She wanted to continue observing, but found that Mr. "Hanged Man" had restrained his body movements.
Hmm...it seems that Mr. Hanged Man is very good at disguising himself. Why is he so nervous? Mr. Fool's promise?
Audrey thought for two seconds and moved her eyes to the Queen, but she didn't see anything unusual.
The girl frowned slightly, then quickly relaxed her brows. Her bright emerald eyes turned around and she said, "Mr. 'Hanged Man', could you provide me with some information about 'Vice Admiral Hurricane' Qilingos, including his appearance, personality, and that powerful magical item?"
Audrey thought about it seriously for a few seconds, and felt that her ability to find people in Backlund was still quite high.
Her father is one of the richest men among the aristocracy, and she herself has a good reputation among the younger generation, so Audrey can use a lot of resources and connections in the upper and middle classes of society.
Moreover, the four extraordinary people she knew all had their own circles. Fors and Sherman knew many middle-class people. And Hugh had a good reputation among the laborers and gangs, and had many secret channels, which made him very suitable for secretly looking for people.
As a journalist, Miss Eve has come into contact with a wider range of people, including the middle class, workers and aristocrats, covering all circles.
"Of course." Alger loosened his hands and paused before continuing, "This is my commission, so I will naturally provide you with enough information."
"He has a distinctive wide chin, brown hair, dark green eyes, and his brown hair is always tied into a bun like an ancient warrior's," Alger explained in detail. "But it is meaningless to know his appearance because he has the ability to change his appearance at will."
"The ability to change one's appearance at will?" Audrey repeated curiously, "What a miraculous ability. A Sequence Six of the Sailor Path can actually change his appearance at will."
"No," Alger shook his head and said seriously, "This is not the ability of a Sailor Path Sequence Six, but the ability of the magical item in his hand."
"This is a very powerful magical item. It was with it that Qilingos became a pirate general, but the negative effects are also very strong. The real name of the magical item is unknown, but those who know it call it 'Creeping Hunger'. Qilingos must satisfy it with the soul and flesh of a living person every other day, otherwise it will take its own master's place."
This!
Audrey's eyes widened slightly, and she couldn't help but feel disgusted and uncomfortable.
What an evil object... Audrey frowned slightly and thought silently in her heart.
Creeping hunger...
There was a hint of thought in Eve's eyes, her ocean-blue eyes were as deep and mysterious as the ocean, and at a glance she seemed to fall into the depths.
"This will be an important clue in finding Qilingos," Audrey said.
"No, the disappearance of a few homeless people in a city with a population of one million will not attract attention." Alger reminded him and continued to explain:
"He was originally just a 'Wind Blesser' with good extraordinary abilities in the fields of water, wind and weather. But later, people found that he could make his targets go crazy, enter other people's dreams, summon light to purify the dead, strengthen himself with singing, and change the appearance of different people... He is almost omnipotent." Alger described in great detail, "We suspect that these are all brought by the magical item 'Creeping Hunger'..."
"shepherd!"
Derrick answered before Alger finished speaking.
This child...
Klein resisted the urge to hold his forehead with his hand and complained in his mind, "You're just trying to take advantage of others."
"shepherd?"
"shepherd?"
Audrey and Alger spoke at the same time, their eyes shifting to Derrick. The difference was that one of them looked a little puzzled, while the other looked a little surprised. They must have heard of "Shepherd".
Derrick saw that both of them turned their eyes to him at the same time, and he suddenly became nervous and stammered as he explained.
After listening to this, both of them showed some surprise. Then, Alger fell silent, as if he was thinking about something, while Audrey continued to ask questions.
"What is the path of 'Shepherd'? What is the sequence?"
"Sequence 5 of the Path of the Secret Prayer."
Derrick replied obediently.
Klein sighed in his heart, he is still a child after all. These are all important knowledge and information that can be traded.
The secret praying man... The Aurora Society... Audrey suddenly thought of "Mr. A" who was suspected to be the messenger of the Aurora Society, and she felt a little uncomfortable.
She thought seriously about whether she could use her accumulated contributions to ask Mr. Fool to get rid of that guy.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Asking the gods to help... was too extravagant. Audrey felt that her contribution was far from enough. Perhaps she could settle for the next best thing and choose Mr. Fool's followers?
However, Mr. Fool's followers wanted to help Mr. Hanged Man... I wonder how many followers Mr. Fool has.
"Mr. Fool, the City of Silver has sent out an exploration team to explore the direction of the Giant King's Court."
"The Sun," Derrick said when he saw that no one else spoke.
It has been quite some time since the Queen suggested that the City of Silver explore the Giant King's Court.
Eve nodded, smiled faintly and said, "Very cautious."
"No, Miss Queen, we did not..."
The word "doubt" circled around Derrick's lips, but he never uttered it.
"No, you misunderstood," Eve chuckled, "I'm not expressing my dissatisfaction. In the God-forsaken Land, caution is a must."
Derrick looked up at Eve, then lowered his head again.
It's clear that the elders of the Silver City do not trust The Fool and the Queen, but they are willing to bet on them.
Derrick couldn't see the deeper things, but he knew that the elders of the City of Silver didn't trust Mr. Fool and Miss Queen. In fact, he didn't know whether Mr. Fool and Miss Queen could be trusted, but he just believed them.
Perhaps it's because they have no choice, or perhaps it's because they are fed up with the endless darkness and want to hold on to even the illusory light.
