Chapter Ninety-Five: The Princess's Daughter (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
How did she know that she didn't like the nickname? How did she know that? She had a conversation with Miss Sharon? Hearing Renette Tinnicol's answer, Klein was stunned for a moment, and then one doubt after another sprung up.
In his opinion, under normal circumstances, there would be no communication between the messenger and the sender, and the whole process was to appear, take the letter, and leave.
And, when did the Miss Courier need permission to take a nickname, and did Frank Lee and Patrick Bryan approve of it?
After a few seconds, Crane had a gut guess that Miss Courier and Miss Sharon must have some kind of connection, and Renette Tinicol didn't want to hide anything.
Reining his thoughts, Crane opened the envelope, unfolded the letterhead, and took a quick look at the contents:
"There's one thing I'd like to get your help with, go to the 'Brave Bar' for a detailed interview......"
Compared with before, Miss Sharon's words are not so stingy, a little better, this is a change in the promotion of demigods?Klein thought for a moment, walked to the desk, picked up the pen, and wrote on this piece of paper:
"When would you like to meet?"
As soon as he got off the pen and glanced at Renette Tinnicole, who was standing next to him and had not left, as if waiting for him to write a letter, Crane was a little more sure in his heart.
He folded the letter and handed it over, and said as if casually:
"To Miss Sharon. ”
Renette Tinicol bit down on one of the heads of the letter, and the other three said in turn:
"You ......", "This ......", "It's ......"
"There is no ......" "payment ......" "postage ......"
...... Crane cleared his throat, pulled out a gold coin, and handed it to Miss Courier.
Watching Renette Tinicol disappear, he looked a little thoughtful, walked to the easy chair and sat down, waiting patiently.
Less than a minute later, the young messenger in her long, gloomy dress stepped out of the void again, biting the piece of paper in her mouth.
Klein didn't ask, took the reply, and unfolded it:
"If you don't have a problem, it's better tonight. ”
Tonight...... Crane nodded thoughtfully, and flicked his wrist, causing the letter to burst into crimson flames and quickly turn black.
The flames swelled, enveloping his body as well.
By the time the flames had subsided, Crane's figure had disappeared into the easy chair, and the embers hovered in mid-air, blowing by an invisible wind, and fell into the trash can not far away.
In the North Bakerland District, the Jowood District, and the Bridge Area, the light of the gas wall lamps became a little brighter one after another, and then returned to normal one after another.
It wasn't long before Klein showed up in a room he had privately rented on the edge of the East End, changed his clothes, put on gold-rimmed glasses, and went out in the form of Sherlock Moriarty, all the way to the "Brave Bar".
This time, instead of looking for Ian, who was playing board games with a bunch of people in the chess and card room, he listened sideways for a few seconds, reached out and pushed open the door of one of the billiard rooms, and walked in slowly.
As soon as he locked the door with his backhand, he saw figures outlined on the left and right sides.
On the left side of the barstool sat Sharon wearing a small floppy hat, a court dress, pale blond hair, and blue eyes, her face was no longer so pale compared to before, but only a slight sense of blood loss, which made her more and more deviant from the image of a female ghost and closer to a puppet.
Standing at the table on the right is Marić, a young man who likes to play cards with living corpses, and the malice in his eyes that needs to be restrained becomes less obvious, but it intuitively gives a sense of oppression.
"Good evening, both of you. Crane smiled and took off his hat and saluted.
"Good evening, Mr. Detective. Sharon's body floated slightly as if it had no weight, and she returned the salute seriously, as did Marić.
At this moment, this billiard room feels haunted.
Klein casually pulled a stool and sat down, and said with a smile:
"What's going on this time?"
"I'm sorry, I might be bothering you again. Sharon was in debt again.
Marić followed up and said:
"We have made a pact with the Bloodlines to work together against important members of the Rose School in Beckland.
"The specific things must be done by ourselves, including how to lead out, how to ambush, how to do it, I just hope that you can watch the whole process and take us away when there is an accident.
"Whatever you want, just ask, you can talk about it. ”
In other words, I'm a backup for the unexpected...... What if Emlyn also asked the "world" to secretly help? At that time, their plan was to have two demigods as reserves...... Well, it seems like it's okay, I'll be Sherlock Moriarty myself, and I'll have Cunas Korg be Gelman Sparrow...... Klein thought for a few seconds, and instead of responding positively to Marić's words, he said:
"I'll ask you a few questions. ”
After glancing at Sharon, Marich nodded slightly:
"Good. ”
Crane looked at Sharon, who was sitting on a barstool like a doll:
"The mummy of Tutansis II that you got earlier was prepared for your promotion to Sequence 4 'Puppet', and you are sure that you have become a demigod?"
This is something he knew from the conversation and the letter separately, and the main purpose at this time is to make a confirmation and start the conversation later.
Sharon looked back at him quietly, her voice a little ethereal, and she said with a little ethereal and inhuman:
"Yes. ”
Klein bowed his head lightly and asked bluntly:
"What's your relationship with Renette Tinicor?"
Sharon's azure eyes moved almost imperceptibly:
"He is my teacher. ”
Teacher...... He...... Although Klein had already guessed, he almost gasped, only to feel that his teeth were faintly sore.
In an instant, his expression seemed to remain unchanged, but countless thoughts came to his heart:
...... Miss Messenger was originally an angel?
I'm using an angel as a messenger? Isn't that an exaggeration?
He is also Miss Sharon's teacher...... I am afraid that the fact that He applied for my Messenger in the first place was not so simple!
From this point of view, he must be the opposite of the "Mother Tree of Desire", and he signed a contract with me before, did he fancy the "Mother Tree of Desire" coveting me, no, he must be my enemy?
It's no wonder that Miss Sharon was able to get the potion recipe and corresponding materials for the "puppet" with relative ease, and it turned out that she had the help of her teacher......
In a flash of thought, Klein decided to ask a question first, using Miss Sharon's or Marić's answers to calm his mind.
After a moment's deliberation, he said:
"What's going on?"
This time it was Sharon who replied, speaking more gently like an inanimate object than Horamik's mechanical puppet:
"At the beginning of the Fifth Age, the Grim Reaper fell, and there was a wave of rebellion against the rule of the Byron Empire in the Star Plateau and the Paz River Valley in the southern continent.
"In the process, the 'Bound God' appeared, the 'Rose School' was born, and my teacher, who was originally the daughter of the ruler of the Highlands at the time, later became a member of the 'Bound God' and assisted his father in establishing the Highland Kingdom.
After that, he became the angel of Sequence 2, one of the leaders of the Rose School, who advocated self-control and fought madness with a life of pure and low desire.
"Nine hundred and twenty-two years ago, the 'Son of God' S'ea was born, and everything began to change, and indulgence and bloody sacrifices gradually became the mainstream.
"Originally, the teacher was able to maintain himself and keep the temperance sect unaffected, but as time went by, the influence of the 'Mother Tree of Desire' became more and more significant, and Si'a was successfully promoted in the past few years and became a real 'god'.
"The internal war broke out, and the teacher sheltered us from the plateaus, river valleys, and grasslands, while I watched him fall under siege by Siea and other high-ranking people.
However, He did not die completely, He was prepared in advance, resurrected in a special state in the spirit world, longing for physical integrity. ”
That's right...... In other words, Miss Courier currently has an angelic essence, has no corresponding strength, and is in a period of weakness, no wonder she couldn't easily deal with the demigod Jax of the Rose School in the first place...... Wait, although there are many angels I have worked with, they are all imperfect or very weak, except for Ms. Arianna, one of the others counts as one, and they are all like this...... Mr. Azik, Parles Zoroaster, Will Ansettein, Miss Courier...... Is there something wrong with my title of "Fool"? Are they all waiting for the spell I have given to the "Ancient Scholar"? Klein was stunned, and he sighed a lot.
He didn't ask Renette Tinicol why she was still hungry for money, but thought for a moment and said:
"Miss Sharon, the Rose School will certainly not lack the potion recipe for 'puppets', after you got the mummy of Tutansis II, most of them have already regarded you as a demigod, and in addition, Lady Renette Tinicol has appeared in front of the demigods of the Rose School and fought with them, which means that the Rose School must have known that he is still alive and will not be wary of him, and your teacher-student relationship with him is not a secret on their side.
"In such a situation, is it too idealistic for you and Marić to use themselves as bait to fish out important members of the Rose School in Beckland?
"Do you think they'll only send one or two demigods against you, and to what extent can the Bloodlines help?
"Also, as I said before, based on one of my identities, the 'Mother Tree of Desire' attaches great importance to me, and even let the 'Divine Sin' Si'a take direct action, and your teacher is also very clear about the cooperation between me and you.
"Based on these, it is not difficult to guess what kind of blow you will usher in if you appear. ”
Speaking of this, Klein had a straight expression and asked:
"Two, do you want to trigger a divine descent in Beckland?"
The entire billiard room suddenly became unusually quiet, but Sharon's expression did not change in any way.
PS: Change first and then change, and ask for a monthly pass during the double period~
