Chapter 221: The Mausoleum and the Bounty
Klein was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked:
"Where?"
He was ready to pay the "consulting fee" in his heart.
Sharon sat there, without any extra movements, like a talking doll, and said:
"At one of the gatherings that Marić attended, someone once discovered the tomb of an ancient nobleman, and they explored the periphery and did not dare to go deeper, but there were traces of human skin shadow activity.
"They wanted to recruit a strong enough team to fully excavate the tomb and divide the valuables inside. ”
Looking for a helper in a gathering of extraordinary people who are not familiar with each other, what can they do to ensure that the other is credible? What if there is no mausoleum at all, just a preset trap? Klein's thoughts flashed, and he asked:
"Did they succeed?"
"Yes. Sharon replied succinctly.
This...... Klein didn't go into the details for the time being, and suppressed his voice to avoid being heard by the coachman:
"And then?"
"Then, they never showed up again. Sharon calmly described, "One of the members was a friend of Marić's, and he disappeared completely in this incident. ”
Without waiting for Klein to ask again, she continued in that illusory and ethereal voice:
"Marić found some of his friend's belongings, and I used divination to trace them to White Cliffs, where I found a hidden entrance to the mausoleum at the bend of the Stafford River, where Marić's friend was in, but dead. ”
"You're in?" Klein blurted out.
"No, it's determined in another way. Sharon explained, "The mausoleum felt dangerous to me, and I didn't try to explore it. ”
Speaking of this, she looked directly at Klein with blue eyes and said:
"If you don't have a Sequence 4 Extraordinaire or a seal of the corresponding degree to help, it's best not to go deep into that mausoleum. ”
Even you think it's dangerous, I don't need to go to the gray mist to divinate to know how terrible it is...... Klein lowered his gaze, looked at the floor of the carriage, and thought for a few seconds:
"Do you know which ancient nobleman's tomb it is?"
Without pause, Sharon replied:
His surname is:
"Amon. ”
Klein, a member of Amon's family who was in the body of the little "sun" and almost sneaked into the mysterious space above the gray mist, used the ability of the "clown" to control the slight jump of his eyelids, and asked suspiciously:
"Are you sure?"
At this moment, a figure already appeared in his mind:
Black classical robe, peaked soft hat of the same color, wide forehead, thin face, dark eyes, black hair, wearing a monocle made of crystal.
Sharon's pale blonde hair reflected the light of the mist piercing through the window, like an oil painting painted by a master, and she said plainly:
"Based on the items found during the first exploration, one of the members of the party who specializes in ancient history judged that the owner of the mausoleum belonged to the Tudor dynasty of the Quaternary Age, and the family name was Amun. ”
It's really the "blasphemer" family of the Quaternary Age...... This family was not plagued by a curse like Abraham, nor was it destroyed by the church of a god like the family of Antigonus......
According to the special and powerful performance of that Amon in Silver City, the situation of this family may be analogous to Zarathu, all of them are secretly inherited, all of them have a high order, and even the strong people who have reached the angelic level remain, and they all keep some vital secrets, such as the "coordinates" of the "Godforsaken Land......
The danger of such a mausoleum left behind by the family can be imagined, and perhaps Amun will also take advantage of some changes to cast his eyes from the distant "God's Forsaken Land...... The terrible ...... of demigods and demihumans cannot be inferred from the situation of medium and low sequencers
Klein didn't think long before he denied the possibility of exploring the tomb of the Amon family.
He looked up at Sharon with a slight disappointment:
"Is there only a shadow of human skin there?"
Sharon shook her head:
"Nope. ”
"Huh?" Klein's eyes lit up and he gestured in a listening gesture.
Sharon's voice didn't change:
"At one of the gatherings I attended, there was a promise that if someone could complete the task she was given, she would meet any reasonable request of the other person, and the material limit was 'below the high order'. ”
"In other words, she can give any kind of extraordinary material below the high sequence?" The first thought that came to Klein's mind was: bragging, right?
Even the Church of the Goddess of the Night, it has to be the Holy Church, that is, the Church of Tranquility, to have this possibility!
And many of these materials don't need to be on hand because they don't need them at all.
In the face of Klein's questioning, Sharon calmly responded:
"She's a high-order powerhouse. ”
Is it any wonder that the high-sequence powerhouse is ...... These are all the high-level leaders of the secret organizations of the major churches, even if they don't belong to any party, they will absorb and establish their own forces! However, the promise of any extraordinary material below the high level must also have moisture...... Klein's thoughts crossed his mind.
Sharon succinctly added:
She said that some materials require a certain period. ”
Klein asked with some interest:
"What mission did she give?"
Sharon has been sitting dignified and straight:
"Investigate the true identity of the Grand Thief 'Black Emperor'. ”
...... Klein believed that if he was drinking water at this moment, he must have sprayed uncontrollably to the other side.
Who did I recruit to provoke whom, and how was I targeted by a high-ranking powerhouse? He first shouted in his heart in Chinese, and then quickly analyzed the possible objects:
A member of the Dusk Hermit's Society, because the thief "Black Emperor" killed the "Apostle of Desire" Beria?
The members of the Aurora Society, who associate the "Fool" with the tarot cards left at the scene of the Kapin incident, decided to investigate the "Black Emperor"?
Members of the three major churches and MI9 simply to find out the truth about the Kapin affair?
Every one of them is possible, and every one of them can't be ruled out!" Crane didn't show any anomalies, and asked thoughtfully:
"Why did she investigate the true identity of the Grand Thief 'Black Emperor'?"
"Nobody knows. Sharon replied in the most succinct of words.
Klein thought for two seconds and organized his words:
"What kind of person is she? I wonder if I should take on this task. ”
Sharon was silent for two seconds, as if reminiscing.
She then described:
"Female, over 1.7 meters, with good body proportions, long chestnut hair, disguise, love to wear black leather boots, and only occasionally attend parties, which first appeared more than two months ago. ”
Love to wear black leather boots, female, high-sequence strong...... These three keywords were connected together, and they suddenly evoked a certain memory of Klein!
When he went to the Kingdom Museum to steal the "Black Emperor" card, he encountered a high-level powerhouse with mysterious and strange methods in the restored Russell the Great's study, and the other party only showed his feet wearing black leather boots, and when he escaped with the help of the power above the gray mist, he directly ran into the demon dog because of the side effects of the "Master Key", and had to shout for help, so he saw the female demigod again as Sherlock Moriarty.
How could she find the "Black Emperor"? She confirmed that the thief who stole the "Blasphemy Card" was a spirit, and knew what would happen if the spirit carried and contained the "Black Emperor" card, so she locked on the "Black Emperor" with the same characteristics? Crane quickly thought of a very convincing possibility.
The only thing that puzzled him was how the other party knew that he was taking the "Black Emperor" card and not any other card, such as the "Abyss" card and the "Sun" card.
Unless she came for the "blasphemy card", which had already been investigated in advance as the "Black Emperor" card...... Well, Miss Sharon said that she had only attended the party for the first time more than two months ago, which fits the characteristics of the Russell exhibition as its goal...... After that, he occasionally participated, did not leave Beckland, or returned regularly, in order to find the enemy who took the "Black Emperor" card...... Klein's thoughts raced, and he smiled slightly:
"I'll help her keep an eye out for it, and hopefully it will be rewarding. ”
There will be no gain in this life!" he added in his heart without hesitation.
Sharon nodded almost imperceptibly, and said nothing more about the "Shadow of Human Skin".
Obviously, she only has two clues, but it's much better than the circle of vampire Emlyn White and Eisinger Stanton, the "Eye of Wisdom".
Klein exhaled slowly, hiding the disappointment in his heart, and said with a greeting gesture of concern:
"You and Maric aren't plagued by curses anymore, are they?"
"There's only one crimson crown. Sharon responded calmly.
- Those who wear the "Crimson Moon Tiara" are immune to the effects of the full moon, and it is a dream item for "xenos".
That is, one is fine, and the other is business as usual...... When affected by a Full Moon, Marić will go to madness, and Miss Sharon will lose her powers, and it seems that Marić is using the ...... Klein thoughtfully changed the subject:
"Have you found a way to remove the mental contamination of the out-of-control in Steve's extraordinary trait?"
He asked casually, not holding out much hope, thinking in his heart that it was more certain that the "sun" classmate was more sure.
"Nope. "Sharon is like talking about someone else's business.
Maybe I'll sell it to you in the future, and I hope you've saved up the gold pounds...... Klein let out an "um", suddenly not knowing what to talk about.
He paused for a few seconds before asking:
"Where's Whitecliff?"
"Outside of Beckland, south of the South End of the Bridge. Sharon replied rather succinctly.
She looked into Klein's eyes again:
"Nothing else?"
"Nope. Klein shook his head at first, and then asked, "Can I tell anyone about that mausoleum?"
"Yes. ”
Sharon's figure in a long black court dress and a small floppy hat quickly faded and disappeared into the carriage.
Perhaps in order to hide herself, she never had the habit of wearing perfume, leaving only an empty environment again.
