Chapter 187: "Perfect" Reasoning
Beckland, Jowood District.
Furth, who was taking a nap, suddenly woke up from his dream, saw the endless gray mist and Mr. "Moon" bowing his head in prayer, and heard clear words from the other party:
“...... On the southeastern outskirts of Beckland, in the middle of the Delares Forest, there is an abandoned castle, which is infested with at least two ancient spirits, and there are other ghosts, and it is not ruled out that there are extraordinary beings living in seclusion there, and the coordinates are ......"
Finally, there is news of the main material of the "record officer", worth 300 pounds...... Firth was overjoyed, and immediately thanked Mr. Fool and asked him to tell the moon that he would pay him later.
With that out of the way, she rolled over and got up and went down to the first floor, intending to pour a glass of wine and think about when she was going to explore the abandoned castle and what she needed to prepare.
"'Lemano's Travel Notes' can't be rented out recently...... Hugh had to bring his ...... with him There are a lot of undead in that abandoned castle, which is quite dangerous, you have to consider the combination of 'magic', if it is flawed, or not targeted enough, you will spend money to hire Mr. 'World', Mr. 'Hanged Man', and 'Sun' to record the corresponding extraordinary abilities...... "Although Foirth does not have much practical experience, he has also been in several extraordinary circles for many years, and later joined the Tarot Society, and after hearing and seeing a lot, he naturally knows how to prepare before the adventure."
As for the option of directly asking Mr. "World" to do it for her, she didn't think about it for a long time, thinking that giving all the harvest plus her own savings to the other party would not match the remuneration.
Of course, if her tentative exploration proves that the abandoned castle is indeed very dangerous, and it is not a place where extraordinary people of her level can penetrate, then she will also have the courage to bear the debt, after all, only by living can there be hope, and only by living can there be a future.
Theoretically, it shouldn't be possible to get to this point, and the "Lemanno's Travel Notes" still has the two remaining demigod-level extraordinary abilities left over by Mr. "World", at most, use them first, and then find a way to make up for them...... The only problem is that those two demigod-level extraordinary abilities may not be suitable for dealing with resentful spirits and revenants...... Furth took a sip of Winter Herland, and ideas began to take shape.
It was then that she heard the sound of the key inserting into the keyhole, and instinctively set her eyes on the door.
The door slammed back, and Hugh walked in with two scented paper bags.
"Dixie pie?" Forth first blurted out a question, then frowned suspiciously, "Haven't you had a lot of commissions lately, why did you come back so early?"
Hugh tossed one of the bags of Dixie pies over, and said with a smile:
"I happened to be passing by, and I didn't eat lunch, so I was going to take a break. ”
Without waiting for Furth to ask again, she took the initiative and said:
"I've saved up enough merits! I'll soon be able to redeem the 'Interrogator' potion recipe!"
Although her task of monitoring the head of the palace guard, Viscount Stafford has not made substantial progress, this is the type that can also accumulate merit on a daily basis, and as long as she submits a qualified report every week, she can get the corresponding "bounty", so, with the completion of other commissions to varying degrees, Hugh has been able to get the "Inquisitor" potion recipe.
"Finally ......" Furth was sincerely happy for his friend, and then shook the wine glass in his hand, "Would you like to drink a little and celebrate?"
At the same time, she thought about herself:
This is really good, after becoming Sequence 7, Hugh should be able to change a certain qualitative change, and the exploration of that castle is more certain!
Hugh glanced at the transparent liquid in the wine glass, shook his head continuously, and said:
"It's not good to drink!"
As she spoke, she frowned:
"And, I hate the smell of it. ”
Before Furth could speak, she suddenly remembered something, stood up directly, and walked to the door:
"I just saw that the mailbox was stuffed with things, haven't you opened it today?"
"It's not time yet. "Furth acted like I was busy and I was going to catch up.
Hugh was a very action-minded man, and without listening to her explanation, he had already opened the door and went out, fiddling with the mailbox.
After ten or so seconds, she returned to the house with a pile of newspapers and a few letters, and said as she looked at the recipient:
"It's all yours! Two letters from the publishing house, one from the port of Priety. ”
Port of Prietz ...... Firth's heart moved, and he put down his glass and took the letter Hugh had thrown over.
In front of her friends, she opened all the letters seemingly calmly, and found that one of them was indeed sent by her teacher, Dorian Gray Abraham:
“...... Calderon is a very special place in the depths of the spirit world, and I can't confirm its origin, only that it is very dangerous, and demigods have once entered and never come out...... When you sell specific spiritual coordinates to that party member, it is necessary to remind him......"
Mr. World's goal is such a dangerous spiritual city?Furth's eyes widened slightly as he stared at the letter in his hand.
............
The "Red Glove" team, which had arrived in the next city of East Bailang, joined up with the local night watchman and occupied one of the opposing offices.
"Everyone rested for half a day and started to move in the early morning. Sost pulled out his pocket watch and looked at it.
This time, they are going to attack a hidden stronghold of the Spirit Order, find more information about the Artificial Reaper Project, and dig up another group of enemies hidden in Beckland.
As for the information obtained from Ulica, it has been transmitted back to Beckland in the form of telegrams, and they don't need to worry about the follow-up processing, after all, they are not the only "red glove" team, and Beckland's local night watchmen are even more numerous and powerful.
Leonard, Daly and the others were about to find a place to rest, when a night watchman with part of the East Bailang bloodline came in with a piece of paper and said:
"There are new telegrams, from Beckland. ”
Sost reached out and took the piece of paper, unfolded it and looked at it for a few seconds, and said with a solemn expression:
Gelman Sparrow reappeared, using divination to confirm that it was him. ”
Gelman Sparrow...... Leonard was not surprised by this result, as he had long known from Dawn Dantès that his former colleague Klein Moretti was still alive.
He asked curiously:
"What did Gelman Sparrow do?"
Sost looked around and said solemnly:
"He boarded the Black Tulip and turned the Hell Admiral Ludville into his secret puppet. ”
"Admiral Hell?"
"Ludville?"
"Secret puppet?"
The "Red Gloves" could not hide their astonishment, and even Leonard Mitchell was extremely surprised.
You must know that Ludwell, the "Admiral of Hell" who wears the ring of death, has the highest bounty and the strongest strength among the seven pirate generals, and is recognized as the first person under the "Four Kings", which is by no means comparable to ordinary Sequence 5, and Gelman Sparrow can turn him into a secret puppet on his ship, surrounded by his army of the dead and many subordinates!
- Although they don't know much about "Facelings" and "Master Puppets", the term "Puppet" alone can make people intuitively know that the end of "Admiral Hell" Ludville may be even more tragic than death.
How powerful was he? He infiltrated the Chanis Gate of St. Samuel's Church for the needs of the demigod ceremony?Leonard fell silent and didn't ask any more questions.
At this time, Sost took the initiative to say:
"According to the crew who escaped from the Black Tulip, there was no fighting, and Gelman Sparrow was on board with another man, and as soon as the 'Admiral of Hell' Ludville saw the other man, he gave up his resistance and prostrated on the deck, calling himself 'Archon of Death,' and then allowed Gelman Sparrow to turn himself into a secret puppet. ”
"Archon of Death......" Leonard subconsciously tilted his head to look at Dalie Simone.
In his mind, sequence 5 of the "corpse collector" path should be clear about what the "Death Archon" represents.
Dai Li let out a "heh", shook her head and said:
"I only know that in the past of the Byron Empire, it was the blood of the 'Grim Reaper' who ruled the real world, known as the 'Archon of Death'. ”
"The leader of the royal faction of the Order of Korin never called himself 'Archon of Death'. "The other "red glove," Cindy said in confusion.
This is a relatively public information within the night watchman, and if you reach sequence 7 or above, or if you add "red gloves", you are eligible to read it.
As for the Artificial Death Sect, there will be no one who calls themselves "Death Archons".
"Who knows? Maybe the Spirit Order has split and multiplied again, and there is a 'Death Archon' faction. Dai Li first replied casually, and then said thoughtfully, "Gelman Sparrow has a mysterious origin, and the purpose of infiltrating Chanis Gate is unknown, maybe it is really related to the Spirit Order. ”
The Spirit Order has always been the main target of the Night Church's attack, and the two sides are extremely conflicted.
This reminded Leonard Mitchell that he knew that Gelman Sparrow was Klein Moretti, and that he had joined a secret organization that worshipped the "Fool" symbolized by tarot cards, and had a partnership with the Order at best.
"None of the current factions of the Spiritual Order have a 'Dead Archon'...... 'Hell Admiral' Ludville is almost confirmed to be the 'arm' of the Spiritual Order, and dealing with him is equivalent to dealing with the Spiritual Order......
"Dawn Dantès once said that the members of the Secret Order came from different places and had different purposes...... Klein's purpose is revenge, so could it be that one of them is aiming to fight the Spirit Order, gradually co-opt them, and resurrect or recreate the Grim Reaper with the self as the master?
"Since there is Dwayne Dantès, an undead monster who survived the Quaternary Age, it is normal for that hidden organization to have an ancient 'Death Archon', perhaps his corresponding tarot card is the 'Grim Reaper'!" Leonard's thoughts raced, and Leonard felt that he had grasped the truth.
Then, he thought of some details:
Daun Dantès is a surviving undead monster from the Quaternary Age;
He knows the Southern Continent well;
He recently left Beckland and is currently missing!
Leonard was startled, took advantage of the discussion among his teammates, picked up the teacup, covered his mouth, and whispered to himself:
"Old man, could Dawn Dantès be the 'Archon of Death'?"
Parles Zoroaster's slightly old voice smiled a little:
"It's not.
"The 'Archon of Death' of the Byron Empire was both a status title and the name of the 'Grim Reaper' path sequence 2 at the time. ”
Sequence 2...... That secret organization has a Sequence 2 angel...... Leonard's eyes shrank and he whispered again:
"Why are you sure that Dwayne Dantès is not the Archon of Death, because he is not an angel?"
Paleston chuckled:
"No, the reason is simple, you've seen the portrait of the real 'Dead Archon', and you may have even had contact with him when you night watchmen were investigating the 'Welch Suicide'.
He is a faculty member in the Department of History at Hoy University, Azik Eggers. ”
...... Azik Eggers Leonard was stunned at first, and then suddenly suddenly.
He finally understood why Crane Moretti was able to come back to life, why he was able to join the secret organization symbolized by tarot cards, and he didn't usually see anything too special!
The reason is that there is a member of a secret organization behind Klein, and the corresponding tarot cards are:
"Death"!
