Chapter 161 Hundred Years Ago

Chapter 161 Hundred Years Ago

"I turned to ask about the original witch. Eve is the Chaos Witch, and that original witch should also be a high-level existence in the Witch Path. I asked him what the relationship between the two is."

Klein paused and watched the video again.

The time should have been before the new route was opened up, otherwise Emperor Roselle would not have been unaware that the Chaos Witch was the Original Witch.

"Mr. Men said meaningfully that in a sense there is no conflict between the original witches and the chaos witches now."

"What does it mean that there is no conflict? Is there reconciliation between the two? Or does it mean that the other party has fallen? But since Mr. Men emphasizes a certain meaning, both of these results may be wrong."

"I continued to ask about the conflict between the two beings, and Mr. Men said that if I asked Eve directly, He would be willing to tell me.

It seems that he has guessed that it was Eve who told me the history of the Fourth Epoch."

"What a joke! Of course I'll ask both of them. Eve is like toothpaste. I squeeze a little and tell her a little. She is never stingy with her extraordinary knowledge and secret history, but she won't tell me unless I ask."

Hmm...it seems that there are differences in treatment between students...Klein recalled Eve who was tutoring him, secretly glanced down, and quickly looked away.

Eve felt Klein's gaze and turned her head to look at the figure above her. She saw that he was looking at the diary in his hand, and then he looked away.

"Mr. Men smiled and told me that only one of them could survive."

"It's as expected. There should be a sequence dispute between the original witch and Eve. Judging from the current situation, I guess Eve has the upper hand."

What a huge amount of information... Klein sighed silently.

The Original Witch and the elder sister have such a relationship. Well... it is also expected. It's a pity that we don't know whether the Original Witch who caused the "Pale Disaster" has been replaced by Eve.

Klein privately thought that no, this was not something his sister would do. However, he could not imagine how three thousand years could change a person.

He still didn't dare ask about the war during Eve Rossel's time, for he was afraid that he couldn't bear the truth.

Klein collected his thoughts and quickly flipped through the diary at the back:

"September 10th. I've been patient for a long time, but I still can't help but complain a few words."

"I was fucking crazy for choosing the 'universalist' path, wasn't I?"

"Of course, this can really bring out my greatest strengths and make me valued by the church, but the problem is that several sequences before it lack practical extraordinary abilities. I can only rely on magical items to make do. I rely too much on external things."

Hmm... Klein silently felt sorry for the emperor for two seconds. If he could take the potion a little later, he would have more options.

Klein recalled how Emperor Roselle envied Eve's "Assassin" path and had a crush on her. He suddenly felt a little regretful that Roselle did not become a witch. Among the twenty-two paths, the witch's combat power is also good, and it can also improve its appearance, but it will cause gender change and have a greater impact on its personality.

However... Klein imagined what it would be like when Emperor Roselle changed his sex, and his first reaction was actually the Tequila girl.

No, no, no, no. With the witch's looks, Emperor Roselle should be an objective beauty… Klein suppressed his smile and refuted himself in his heart. He threw away the messy thoughts in his mind and continued reading.

"For example, Sequence 9 'Generalist' only has extraordinary memory, learning, and practical abilities. For example, Sequence 8 'Archaeologist' gains a strong physique and corresponding ancient knowledge... Sequence 5, 'Astrologist'!"

The early stages of the General Path do not have direct combat power... Klein thought in his heart... Fortunately, I left Melissa with the "Sailor Bracelet", which should allow her to have a certain degree of self-protection... I hope she didn't throw the bracelet away...

Klein suppressed his emotions and continued reading:

"Its... God have mercy on me, I only made it to the second-tier line in the college entrance examination!"

Emperor Roselle has a strange talent for comedy... Klein complained in his mind, trying to divert his attention.

"On June 2, the kingdom repeatedly created chaos and provoked fighting, but failed to completely defeat the Feysac Empire... This is my chance."

"I must be cautious enough. The Soran family is an ancient family that witnessed the Fourth Epoch and has angels. I have obtained the support of the church and have reached a certain tacit understanding with the Eternal Blazing Sun Church."

"Eve also expressed her support for me. In addition, He asked for the Conqueror trait held by the Soran family. He hopes that I can do my best to help Him get that trait. If I can't get it, Eve is still willing to support me. In this matter, He himself supports it."

"I can't... Archon Roselle Gustav, I like this title."

"June 3rd... Maybe I should give some help to those rebels, but how can I do it secretly? How can I prevent others from noticing?"

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"On June 4, Zaratul of the Secret Order came to visit me secretly. It was very sudden."

Then what? What is Zaratul's purpose in looking for you, Comrade Roselle?

My sister also participated in the coup that year... This was within Klein's expectations. If it were him, he would also participate. This is an anti-feudal struggle. Which flower rabbit would not participate?

And the Conqueror trait... Conqueror? Could this be the name of the Witch Sequence One?

Klein flipped back two pages as he thought about it. The next two pages were all daily content, with no mention of Zaratul.

The diary ended abruptly, just like watching a movie and then suddenly the power went out at the climax. Klein's interest, which had been piqued, was immediately dampened.

Sigh... Klein sighed in his heart. This feeling reminded him of the bookstore where he could read books for free when he was a child. He often read comics in the store, but those comics were not complete. He read them intermittently, and the order was not correct. He could only piece together the correct plot order bit by bit by himself.

The last page had similar content. Apart from the last sentence that Emperor Roselle's investigation into the Secret Order had cheered him up, there was no other useful information.

"You can communicate freely now."

Klein said in a calm tone.

Derrick immediately looked at Eve and reported impatiently, "Ms. Queen, the first team that explored the Giant King's Court has returned to the City of Silver."

Audrey and Alger couldn't help but prick up their ears and listen.

This is news about the legendary God-forsaken Land!

(End of this chapter)Chapter 162 Recommended

"Silver City has explored the Giant King's Court before, but there was no substantial discovery. This time, the Silver City exploration team explored other places," Derrick thought for two seconds, organized his words and reported in detail: "I didn't get any specific information from the Silver City exploration team, but it seems that there was no discovery."

"Well," Eve was not surprised. The real surprise would only appear after going deeper. He nodded and instructed, "Continue to observe."

"Miss Queen, where should we explore and what should we discover to find hope?" Derrick's lips moved twice, and after hesitating for two seconds, he asked. He wanted to try to get some useful information for the City of Silver, but the child, who had rarely lied, was nervous and guilty when he was trying to get information, and his purpose was obvious at a glance.

Alger and Audrey pricked up their ears immediately.

I'm sorry, Miss Queen… Derrick thought guiltily in his heart. After all, knowledge and intelligence can be traded in this special gathering, and Miss Queen has already given Silver City an important piece of intelligence for free…

"I…I'm willing to trade with extraordinary materials or potion formulas…" In the end, Derrick, unable to overcome his guilty conscience, stammered out these words.

The potion formula... well... speaking of which, Miss Queen has never purchased the formula at the Tarot Club until now. It's really curious what channel she used... Audrey still maintained a decent smile on the surface, but in fact, she was thinking randomly in her mind.

Alger had a similar idea. Among the members of the Tarot Club, only the "Queen" did not know the way, which made Alger extremely concerned.

Eve looked around and took in everyone's reactions. She chuckled and said, "I told you that the hope of leaving the God-Forsaken Land lies in the Giant King's Court. It doesn't matter what you discover or don't discover during the exploration. Keep exploring the Giant King's Court and you will get the truth you want."

The truth... Derrick was stunned for a second, then slowly lowered his head, pursed his lips, and his slightly immature face was hidden in the gray mist, making it impossible to see his expression.

The little "Sun" looked a little disappointed... Audrey closed her mouth silently, not mentioning that she had not yet found the formula for the eighth sequence of the Sun Path. Although she could still buy it from Miss Eve, the short time would expose the fact that the "Sun" knew about the impersonation method, causing more trouble and even the risk of exposing the existence of the Tarot Club. Of course, she could also deceive Miss Eve and buy the formula from someone different, but this was too coincidental for her to not think too much about. In addition, facing a high-ranking being who may have lived for thousands of years, Audrey had to be cautious. Unless there was no other way, she would not buy the formula from Miss Eve in a short period of time.

Alger was different from Audrey and Derrick. He thought more deeply. The Hanged Man knew very well that the Queen was the Fool's spokesperson in the Tarot Club, and her words were equivalent to the Fool's words to some extent.

Did the "Queen" really ask Silver City to enter the Giant King's Court just to help them?

No, Alger preferred to believe that the Giant King's Court had what they wanted, and they had their own goals. And the words of the "Queen" once again confirmed Alger's guess, they didn't care about the process, they only cared about the result.

Klein also glanced at Eve, but he immediately looked away the moment he looked at Eve.

Discovered... discovered what... Klein clearly remembered that the God-Forsaken Land was formed because of the Cataclysm. So, could the Giant King's Court, which contained the method to leave the God-Forsaken Land, also be hiding the truth about the Cataclysm... Based on the epics of the Third Age and the current creation myths, the Cataclysm must be very complicated.

There was a brief calm above the gray fog, and for a moment everyone was lost in their own thoughts.

Audrey looked around, hesitated for two seconds, and took the initiative to break the silence on Sefirah Castle. "Mr. Fool, I found two ladies who are suitable for our Tarot Club. They are both Beyonders. They have their own circles and resources in Backlund. They are also good at keeping secrets and have good personalities. Are you willing to let them join the party?"

The two extraordinary people were naturally Hugh and Fowles. After deep thought, Audrey decided not to recommend Sherman to join the Tarot Club. She suspected that Sherman was a member of a secret organization. Although it was not confirmed yet, Audrey decided to temporarily remove Sherman from the list for the sake of safety.

Hearing Audrey's request, Alger frowned.

"Justice" wants to expand its influence in the Tarot Club?

The Sun Derrick showed some interest in this. He turned around and waited for The Fool's reply.

Eve's gaze stayed on Audrey for a second before slowly retracting. From the beginning, she positioned the Tarot Club as an organization directly under Zhou Mingrui, and she did not care whether the members knew each other. In other words, Eve did not think from the beginning that the situation in which the Tarot Club members did not know each other would continue.

Klein was a little embarrassed. In his previous expectation, the members of the Tarot Club should not know each other, and then each of them would develop a certain number of subordinates to form a relatively strict organizational structure. In this way, even if a member was exposed, arrested, or communicated with, it would not have much impact on the Tarot Club.

Eve glanced at Klein and understood his concerns. The Tarot Club was still weak and there was indeed a risk of being captured. In the future, when the Tarot Club became stronger, these members would all be high-level members of the Tarot Club, and such concerns would naturally be much less.

Klein tapped his forehead twice with his fingers, activated his psychic vision and observed the surroundings. He deliberately avoided Eve. His psychic vision would be greatly enhanced in Sefirah Castle. In this situation, Eve would probably go out of control.

Mr. Hanged Man's astral body is blue, which means he is thinking calmly. There are also some dark colors in it, which represent melancholy, silence, and sadness. Miss Audrey's astral body is yellow, which represents happiness and extroversion...

Klein tapped his forehead again, turned off his spiritual vision, and tapped his fingers lightly on the armrest as he pondered.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

One of the two ladies Miss Justice mentioned should be the lady who might be related to the Abraham family, and perhaps related to Mr. Men. Although the Abraham family has declined, Klein still feels guilty about snatching someone from such a Fourth Epoch Angel family.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "This requires some examination. Miss Justice, you should use a covert way that does not expose yourself to let them know my name and arouse their interest in it."

"Yes, Mr. Fool." Audrey said excitedly when she saw her proposal was accepted.

After everyone talked for a while, Klein announced the end of the meeting and cut off contact.

(End of this chapter)Chapter 163 8 Williams Street

Chapter 163 8 Williams Street

After the meeting, Eve also left Sephira Castle.

"I'm working on my manuscript, so don't bother me if you have nothing to do." Eve put one foot on the stairs and turned to Klein and said, "I'm not going to have dinner. You can make dinner yourself or go to the restaurant."

"I thought you didn't have to work," Klein said with a bit of fake surprise on his face. "After all, you don't have much free time, and being a reporter is a respectable but busy job."

Of course, Eve could hear the hidden meaning in Klein's words. His procrastination had long been incurable and he had given up on treatment in his previous life.

He rolled his eyes in an indecent manner, propped his elbows on the handrail of the stairs, half-leaned on the railing beside the stairs and said: "You can directly call me lazy, I don't mind, but I will hit you."

Klein immediately shut his mouth.

Eve snorted and said, "If you have time, you can go to 8 Williams Street."

"8 Williams Street?" Klein repeated doubtfully.

Williams Street is at the junction of the West End and Queens Borough. Number 8 Williams Street is close to Queens Borough, and the houses there cost at least five thousand pounds.

"Is there something wrong with that villa?" Klein asked.

"perhaps."

Eve's answer was very vague. Williams Street was where Medici died. According to Eve's speculation, the specific location of the site should be at 8 Williams Street.

Eve went to investigate when Medici fell, but found nothing.

Among those who participated in the hunt for Medici, the only one who could make Eve completely unaware of any abnormality was Alistair Tudor.

Becoming a god is a qualitative change. The Angel King is the closest to the true God, but he is not the true God after all. Even if other participants can conceal it, they cannot achieve such perfection.

But now, if Medici really still exists, Eve is more suspicious of "Adam".

"Adam" can mobilize the power of the Chaos Sea, and with the advantages of his own path, he can indeed conceal this matter perfectly.

If Medici is really still alive... then "Adam" deceived Trunsoest and many high-ranking beings in Trunsoest's capital.

No, perhaps the night knows...

Is this the case with three people in this movie and I am the only one without a name... Eve thought with some self-mockery.

"Maybe?" Klein said jokingly, "Then there's a problem."

Eve smiled noncommittally.

Even if Medici was really alive, He didn't think Zhou Mingrui could see anything, or rather, Zhou Mingrui couldn't see it before He became a god. He just wanted him to go and take a look.

Thinking of this, a sense of absurdity suddenly hit Eve's heart, making her feel extremely ridiculous.

Pure divinity, absolute rationality, "Adam" only does things that are beneficial to himself. If Chike becoming a "witch" is more beneficial to Him, Eve believes that He will sacrifice himself like he sacrificed Medici.

There is no friendship at all. He is not Mikhail, not even Adam.

Eve stood up straight, holding the handrails with both hands, and said jokingly: "If there is really a problem, the house price will be reduced."

"Not necessarily. Maybe the problem hasn't erupted yet. Wait! You're not going to buy the house at 8 Williams Street, are you?" Klein was shocked. That house would cost at least 5,000 pounds, and that didn't include the cost of furniture and servants. More importantly, 8 Williams Street was looking for a buyer!

Thinking of the high price, Klein was envious. "No wonder you asked me to go there and take a look."

"Well... this is such a wonderful dream, Zhou Mingrui, but wake up, I'm just an ordinary reporter." Eve put her hands in front of her chest and clapped in a pretentious manner.

"An ordinary little reporter..."

Klein felt that there were too many flaws in this sentence. Not to mention whether Eve's identity as the Angel King had anything to do with "ordinary", even from the perspective of ordinary people, being a reporter for the Backlund Daily could not be called ordinary. After all, the Backlund Daily was a major newspaper covering the entire Loen Kingdom.

"How many pounds would it cost if I wanted to place an advertisement in the Backlund Daily?" Klein collected his thoughts and asked.

Eve raised her eyebrows and answered directly without asking why, "The fee is based on factors such as the location and area of the advertisement. Advertisements are an important source of income for newspapers. The more influential a newspaper is, the more advertising fees it will charge. A major newspaper like the Backlund Daily will cost at least 10 pounds."

So expensive!

Although he knew it would be expensive, Klein was still surprised by the price.

Klein hesitated for a moment, frowned, and asked, "Is there any way for me to quickly enter the aristocratic circle?"

"To become a noble," Eve said jokingly, "as long as you have enough money, you can buy a title, although those old nobles will ridicule you for it."

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"This is more than 10 pounds," Klein rejected the proposal without any hesitation, "I'm still a few cents short of my savings."

"Let's just be a detective," Klein thought for two seconds and said, "I'll go to the newspaper office with you later, and I'll also get the ID of my new identity, but there's no rush for that."

Klein was going to investigate Baron Edgar, and he needed an unofficial identity that could allow him to get in touch with the nobility. However, most unofficial identities that could allow him to enter the nobility circle were difficult to obtain.

In the end, Klein only liked three jobs: writer, journalist, and private detective. These three professions all had relatively flexible working hours and would not conflict with Klein's main job. They also allowed him to come into contact with people from all walks of life. However, any one of them required considerable fame to enter the aristocratic circle.

Klein first ruled out writers because Emperor Roselle had already copied everything that could be copied, leaving no room for new comers.

And between a reporter and a detective, Klein chose the detective.

The reason is simple: to prevent fire, theft and journalists.

"No problem, Mr. Zhou Holmes Mingrui," Eve said with a smile, leaning on the stair railing, "Perhaps you still need a professional assistant. You solve the case and I report on it. You gain fame and I gain material. It's a win-win situation."

"No," Klein pushed his hand forward and said seriously, "It's Mr. Sherlock Moriarty."

"Moriarty... Detective Moriarty..." Eve was stunned for a moment, then raised her lips, "You are really a genius at naming. If you had come a hundred years earlier, Roselle wouldn't have had to worry about naming Bernadette and the others."

"Bernadette? Emperor Roselle's daughter?"

"Yes," Eve nodded, "This name is very common in Intis."

Klein had never been to Intis and didn't know much about it, but he knew that the name Bernadette was very common in Intis. This showed how common this name was, and that Emperor Roselle's naming ability was indeed worrying.

(End of this chapter)Chapter 164 Real-life Cinderella

Chapter 164: Real-life Cinderella

Eve waved her hand casually, and without waiting for Klein to respond, she said directly: "Mr. Sherlock Moriarty certainly cannot live in our house. You need a new residence. Do you have an apartment you like?"

"Mrs. Summer is looking for a tenant." Klein answered without hesitation. He always prepared and filed things in advance.

"Mrs. Summer..." Eve touched her chin and thought, "Not bad, this way I can be neighbors with the great detective."

Eve moved her hand upwards to cover the corners of her upturned mouth, and said with a hint of joking in her tone: "Maybe you will meet a girl you like."

Mrs. Summer always likes to hold various banquets at home. This is a middle-class etiquette, and Summer is very happy to use this method to promote her high-quality life.

Many of these parties were essentially blind dates, and Eve participated in quite a few.

Klein was stunned for a moment. This change of topic was too abrupt, but he reacted immediately and retorted, "No, I want to go home. If I can't bring that girl back, I will be letting her down."

Eve put her hand down. Klein's figure was reflected in her ocean-blue eyes. She waved her right hand twice in front of her and said, "It's just a joke. Don't be so serious."

He turned around, took two steps forward, and added, "I have to finish my manuscript, otherwise it will be too late."

After saying this, Eve lifted up her skirt and ran upstairs.

Klein withdrew his gaze, sat on the sofa and began to design his appearance as Sherlock Moriarty.

Eve quickly entered her room and sat at the desk.

The girl picked up the dark blue pen on the table and wrote rows of beautiful words on the paper: The sky is howling! The Environmental Protection Association angrily cursed that the factory smoke is killing humans...

Under the warm light of the gas lamp, Eve wrote the entire press release with great enthusiasm.

Putting down his pen, he checked it carefully, and only after confirming that it was correct did he put it in the file bag and go downstairs.

Downstairs, Klein was sitting on the sofa, petting his cat and reading a newspaper.

He wanted to use his divination ability and past life experience to invest in some industries. Although the bounty for hunting pirates was large, it was property of unknown origin. Klein could not use it casually and could only use it for extraordinary transactions in private.

"let's go."

Eve shook the file bag in her hand, making a rustling sound.

Klein nodded, carried Ruirui from his lap to the sofa, stood up, patted his clothes, picked up a portrait from the coffee table in front of him and said, "I designed Sherlock Moriarty's appearance."

Eve looked up. Sherlock Moriarty's appearance was a combination of Klein, Sherlock, and Moriarty. His deep gray eyes looked unusually alert, his cheeks were thin, and his facial features still had some of Klein's influence. He still had that slight bookish air, but he looked smarter.

"Very good." Eve affirmed sincerely, and stretched out her right hand towards Klein's face. With a flick in front of his face, Klein's facial features immediately turned into Sherlock Moriarty in the portrait.

Only the appearance has changed... Klein lowered his head to take a look and muttered in his heart.

Klein felt somewhat disappointed. He picked up his hat and cane and followed Eve out the door.

The Backlund Daily newspaper office was not in the Cherwood District, so Eve and Klein walked all the way to the Backlund subway station.

This was the first time Klein came to a subway station in this world. Although he was surprised that there was a subway in this world, for him who had seen the world, there was nothing shocking about this subway station.

Melissa will definitely like this... Klein thought.

Eve walked up to the ticket seller, handed over six pence, pointed at Klein and said, "Get this gentleman a first-class seat. I have an annual ticket."

"Okay, miss." The ticket seller showed a bright smile on his face, tore a ticket neatly, stamped it and handed it to Eve.

Eve took the ticket, took two steps forward, and stuffed it into Klein's hand. She said, "Once your identity certificate is processed, you can come here to apply for an annual ticket. It's cheaper than a carriage for the same distance. I've already arranged Klein Moretti's ticket for you."

Klein took the ticket and observed it in his hand.

It's just a stamp, without even a name on it. If someone else picks it up, they can use it too...

This world's subway has only been around for 25 years. I shouldn't ask too much of it... Klein thought silently in his heart.

First-class seats are for one person each, and the environment is cleaner than other carriages. Klein followed Eve to the platform and waited at the corresponding seat for first-class seats.

Amid the sound of metal friction, a huge metal monster roared out. The subway in this world is still a steam train, emitting bursts of whistle sounds while running.

After the passengers got off the bus, Eve and Klein got on one by one and sat in their seats.

The subway was very fast, and it didn't take long for Klein and Eve to reach their destination. There was only a short walk left.

Arriving at the newspaper office, Eve pointed to a middle-aged lady who looked very shrewd and said, "Go find Ms. Mira. You can go back directly after you are done. You don't have to wait for me."

Klein nodded, raised his cane, and walked towards the lady.

Eve turned around and handed her manuscript to the newspaper for review. The publication of a news article often requires multiple reviews.

When it was over, Eve was about to open the door and leave when it was opened from the outside.

"Hi, long time no see, Miss Eve." The blond man outside the door's eyes lit up immediately after seeing Eve. He stood up straight and said with obvious joy, "You are still so beautiful today."

"Thank you very much, Mr. Mellis," Eve lifted her skirt and bowed slightly, "You are still so handsome today."

"What a surprise. Why did Miss Eve come to the newspaper office?" Melis asked immediately.

"Mr. Melis, have you forgotten? Today is the deadline for me to submit my manuscript," Eve explained.

"Ah? Then... Miss Eve's next piece of news... do you have any ideas?" Melissa said awkwardly.

"Well... I can barely say it is..." Eve looked a little embarrassed, "but..."

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"Just?" Melis asked curiously. As a reporter, he always had a keen sense of news.

Eve looked around, took two steps forward, squeezed out of the door, reached out to close the door, and signaled Melis to follow with her eyes.

Melis immediately understood what she meant, and a few minutes after Eve left, he followed in the direction she left.

The two came to a remote place.

After confirming that there was no one nearby, Eve approached Melis mysteriously and said in a low voice: "It's just that this matter involves the royal family..."

Eve didn't continue talking, Melis already understood what Eve wanted to express.

The royal family of the Kingdom of Loen still has great power and considerable influence in the newspaper industry. If news that is unfavorable to the royal family is reported, Eve and everyone who reviews the news will be forced to resign.

"Politics?" Melis asked tentatively.

Eve shook her head and said, "It's Cinderella."

Cinderella... Melis was stunned for a moment, then he recalled the famous fairy tale of Emperor Roselle and immediately understood what Eve meant.

"A commoner girl." Eve added.

A prince falling in love with a commoner girl was indeed a scandal for the royal family, but the real-life version of Cinderella was definitely big news, and it happened to be news that suited the public's taste, so Melis was unwilling to give up.

"Which prince?"

"It should be Prince Edsak. I didn't see his face clearly at the time, but his carriage was indeed a royal carriage."

Prince Edessak... Melis rolled his eyes and had some ideas in his mind.

"It is indeed difficult. Although it does not involve politics, the pressure of such a royal scandal is not small." Melis asked with a thoughtful look in his eyes, "Have you... decided?"

"Not yet..." Eve shook her head, her face full of hesitation.

"Think about it again. If you have made up your mind, tell me and I can provide you with some help," Melis said seriously, "but you have to know that if this matter is reported, you may face the wrath of the royal family."

"Although being a journalist seems to be a respectable and easy job to others, only we know how much we have to pay to stay in this industry. As long as we say one wrong word, we may lose our job, especially when facing those nobles, wealthy people and officials, not to mention the royal family."

"And reporters need young and strong bodies so that they can be at the forefront of news. However, Miss Eve, although you still look so beautiful, you have to admit that you have been a reporter for more than ten years and are already old. If you don't want to leave the journalist industry early, it's better not to get involved in this matter."

Eve's face showed some thought, and her eyes showed approval. "What you said makes sense. I will consider it carefully."

"I believe you will make the right choice, Miss Eve." Mellis took off his hat and said goodbye to Eve.

(End of this chapter)Chapter 165 Pamphlet

Chapter 165 Pamphlet

After agreeing on the price, Klein left the newspaper directly. After paying the advertising fee, Klein's weekly salary for that week was basically gone.

Fortunately, I can get the bounty tonight... Klein sighed in his heart... Otherwise, I can only rely on my sister for help...

Klein clenched the cane in his hand distressedly and walked towards the subway station.

As people walked along the street, Klein suddenly felt as if he was being scrutinized. Although it was only for a moment, Klein was sure that he was not wrong. He raised his head as usual, secretly looking for the observer.

A little blonde girl in obviously ill-fitting clothes was standing by the street. She was very thin and seemed to be only eight or nine years old. The overly large clothes covered half of her face. Her pair of blue eyes were quietly observing the pedestrians on the road.

Although she was very young, the girl's movements were very stealthy and she didn't look like a novice.

Klein frowned slightly, then quickly adjusted his expression. He glanced at her casually, secretly memorizing her features. He was about to leave and look for a chance to follow her, but he didn't expect the girl to take the initiative to walk up to Klein.

"Sir, sir."

The girl looked around mysteriously, then quietly stretched out her hand from her coat, revealing a booklet.

"Sir, would you like to buy some newspapers?"

press?

Klein lowered his gaze to the newspaper. The cover featured a coy girl in a goose yellow dress, much like the covers of the romance novels Klein had seen in his previous life.

Does a newspaper need to be so cautious?

Klein was confused and asked tentatively, "How much is the price?"

"Only 5 pence." The girl held out her coat with her other hand and held up five fingers.

The price is acceptable... Klein hesitated for two seconds, and finally bought the newspaper... I might as well buy it and see what's inside...

Klein took the newspaper from the girl and was about to flip through it, but was immediately stopped by the little girl.

"No, sir, you can only watch it when you get home." The girl said hurriedly.

"Why?" Klein pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Is there something illegal in this?"

"Yes," the little girl pulled her clothes, pulled the collar to the bridge of her nose, and whispered, "I have to go home and see it."

Klein was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect the girl to admit it directly.

He stared at the cover of the newspaper in a daze. The shy beauty had a pair of affectionate eyes, as if she was gazing at her lover lovingly.

No way!

Klein suddenly felt that the "newspaper" in his hand was a little hot. He asked uncomfortably, "Who told you this?"

"elder brother."

What kind of good brother would teach his sister these things! She is only eight or nine years old, and he lets his sister sell pornographic books!

They are also a pair of poor siblings...

Klein took out three pennies distressedly and handed them to the girl. "Here's a tip."

"Thank you, you are such a kind man!" The girl looked extremely happy. She took the tip with one hand and thanked Klein. Then she ran back to the street in an awkward posture, looking for the next buyer.

Klein guessed that the girl must have a few "newspapers" under her coat, which was why her running posture was so awkward.

He looked down at the "newspaper" in his hand, his face suddenly heated up, he looked around guiltily, rolled up the booklet and put it in his coat pocket.

Fortunately, the booklet is small enough to fit in a pocket... Klein thought thankfully as he reached into his pocket and grabbed the booklet to prevent any accidents.

If something unexpected happens, the identity of Sherlock Moriarty will be unusable.

Walking down the street with a pornographic book hidden on my body is a really strange experience... Klein thought with extreme embarrassment, praying in his heart that nothing unexpected would happen and that he would not be discovered.

Perhaps the gods heard Klein's prayers. After a terrifying journey, Klein returned home safely.

Since he couldn't enter the house through the front door as Sherlock Moriarty, Crane chose to climb through the window.

The "magician"'s flexible body allowed him to enter the house easily. Klein's heart was still tense the moment his feet touched the ground. He walked around the house carefully and finally felt relieved after confirming that Ruirui was not there.

But he still didn't take out the booklet. Instead, he quickly went upstairs, locked himself in the room, and then took out the booklet with a sense of relief.

Well... I'll do some research...

With secret expectations, Klein opened the cover.

The content on the first page was not a picture of a man and a woman being affectionate as Klein had imagined, but a black and white photo.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

In the photo, a row of people from the South Continent were fleeing in panic, and behind them a row of people were shooting them with rifles. Judging from the clothes they were wearing, these people were just ordinary people, and the youngest among them was a baby in swaddling clothes. Klein didn't know which country the soldiers behind them who shot the people were from, but their obvious Rune appearance had already told Klein the answer.

Klein was stunned for a moment, and then a sour feeling rose in his heart.

This is indeed...illegal content...

The Kingdom of Loen has implemented strict control over newspapers. There is little news about the colonies in Loen's newspapers. Even if there is, it is about Loen building railways and schools for the colonists, or reports about colonies attacking Loen or other colonies, glorifying colonization and stigmatizing colonial resistance.

Klein immediately flipped back a few pages and found that they were all about Rune's atrocities in the colonies. He immediately understood.

This is indeed a good idea... he sighed in his heart.

These contents simply cannot appear in newspapers through formal procedures and can only be sold privately. If you directly tell the buyers that the contents of the book are about Rune's atrocities in the colonies, I'm afraid many people will sneer at it and refuse to believe it.

But like now, if you trick the other person into opening the book, as long as they see the photo on the first page, they will continue reading even if they still refuse to believe it in their heart.

Klein gently stroked the cover of the book, took a deep breath, and opened the book again. He read it carefully, and the more he read, the more frightened he became.

Every photo is horrifying, and the text behind the photos is even more heartbreaking. Moreover, some of their former comrades-in-arms also participated in the massacre.

Through ethnic policies, Loen favored some ethnic groups and suppressed others. It prohibited intermarriage among ethnic groups, prohibited ethnic groups from studying in the same school, and even separated ethnic groups through conscription. It dispatched the troops of other ethnic groups to suppress the rebellious ethnic groups in order to stir up ethnic conflicts and reduce the cost of colonization.

Klein slowly closed the book and held it weakly in his hands. His eyes were already wet and his heart was filled with bitterness and anger.

There is no gardener who would not feel sad about this.

After a long while, Klein managed to calm himself down, put the book under his pillow, stood up, and hurriedly jumped out of the window.

That girl should be the intelligence officer of the Colonial Resistance in Loen!

He wanted to find her!

Klein hurried back to where he bought the book but found that the girl was no longer there.

He should have left after I left... Klein guessed in his heart... After all, one must be cautious when doing things like this...

"You're still here. Didn't I tell you not to wait for me?"
