Chapter 198: Entrustment postponed
"Mr. 'Fool', I also found two pages of the diary." Abner looked at Klein, who was at the top of the bronze table, and said respectfully.
"Tower" took out the diary again? He's really a well-informed man...... I'm afraid that "Hero Detective" is really just his superficial identity.
Through the name of "Abner", which was revealed in the "live broadcast" that night, and the true strength of the "Hero Detective" learned from Dali, plus some of the events commissioned by the "Tower" before have a lot of overlap with the trajectory of the "Hero Detective".
Klein had already preliminarily determined that Mr. "Tower" was the detective who had recently been in the limelight in Beckland.
This was not a deliberate inquiry, but a conclusion that was naturally deduced based on the information he had obtained by chance.
However, Klein does not believe that "Tower" only has the identity of a detective, and there must be a powerful organization hidden behind it, and it can be seen from Dalie's attitude towards him that that organization is most likely also official.
In the flash of his thoughts, Klein "teleported" the diaries of "Justice" and "Tower" to his hand, and then held it down temporarily, not rushing to look at it, but looked sideways at "Tower" and asked calmly:
"What do you need to be paid? Or do you want to accumulate 'contributions' first like last time? ”
Goddess bless, I hope there is no particularly troublesome request, otherwise it can only be Mr. "Fool" who thinks that you have not contributed enough, so that you have accumulated first...... However, judging from the previous situation, Mr. "Tower" is quite measured, although there are obvious traces of temptation......
Crane thought as he silently prayed to the goddess for good luck.
Abner had already planned for this, first asking Mr. Fool to help him visualize the image of the Fallen Morning Star, then briefly explaining its function, and finally saying sincerely:
"The process of this item getting into my hands is a bit strange, and I want to figure out where it came from and where it came from."
Although Bishop Utravsky told him that there was no god in the layout of this thing, he thought it would be better to check it carefully with the "fools...... And there are no gods involved, and there should be no big danger for Crane to do divination on the "Source Castle", at most it is just a headache.
This magical item is so powerful, it can actually use the ability of five paths at the same time, and it can also be combined into two secret arts! While both of those arcane techniques are only perks, they're also very powerful, more powerful than all the magical items I've ever known before! I really want to buy it...... It's a pity that Mr. "Tower" should not be sold easily......
Audrey looked at the necklace made of five gems in the image, her eyes sparkled, and she couldn't wait to ask the price on the spot, even if it was very expensive, but if such an item was bought, her father, Earl Hall, would definitely reimburse her.
While staring at the "Fallen Morning Star", Alger "The Hanging Man" thought of the "Wriggling Hunger" held by the "Hurricane Admiral", which is also a powerful item that can use multiple pathways, but the price of using it is much more cruel than this "Fallen Morning Star".
"Sun" Derick only glanced at it with a little envy and then withdrew his gaze, the general education of Silver City told him that this was not something that he could control as an ordinary person, and even if he used it reluctantly, the cost would be too great for him to bear.
As for Klein, who was sitting at the top, his first reaction was to refuse, he had just done a death divination yesterday for the "Eternal Sun", and he didn't want to come a second time, but just as he was thinking about how to phrase it, he heard "Tower" say again:
"I know that these pages of the diary are not worth enough to ask you to find out for yourself...... Remember you mentioned earlier that you are a dependent...... I wonder if you can check it out with your dependents? I can transfer all the 'credit' for the journal to your dependents, and if it is not enough, I can make some material compensation. ”
Seeing that Crane was silent, Abner seemed to be showing signs of refusal, so he decisively changed his strategy and began to lure.
Does the "Tower" really think that my "dependent" is strong enough to find out the origin of this item, or is he testing again? Want to use this to measure the depth of Mr. Fool's family?
It doesn't look like he's looking like he's just tempting, maybe the former is the main purpose, and the latter is just incidental......
So do you want to say yes or not? Well, I won't refuse it directly, and I'll delay until next week, so I can have plenty of time in the middle of the week to find out if there is any danger in the origin of this item...... Of course, you can also take the opportunity to figure out how much to charge......
Thinking of this, the balance in Mr. "Fool's" heart had actually tilted, and he deliberately leaned back, clasped his hands cross, and replied leisurely and relaxedly:
"Yes, I'll ask them if anyone would like to take your commission...... There should be feedback at next week's 'Tarot Meeting'. Hehe, you shouldn't be in a hurry, right? ”
"Yes, I have full patience in this matter, Mr. 'Fool'." Abner resisted the urge to complain, lowered his head and said "respectfully".
Sure enough, how could such a great being who was close to a god not have a dependant to serve, and listening to Mr. "Fool", he probably had more than one person! While Alger's heart was awe-struck, his attitude towards the fool was even more awe-inspiring, since there were so many dependents on the other side, it meant that he was not without the ability to interfere in the real world.
"Good." Seeing that the problem of the "tower" was solved for the time being, Crane nodded with satisfaction, and then picked up the diary handed in by Miss "Justice" and began
But soon, he complained in his heart while watching:
"Well, Countess Fleisse, private gatherings, it's Russell......
"Huh? It turns out that some sequences can be interchangeable at the higher order? This is not the same as what the church tells the night watchmen...... Well, 'Know-it-all' and 'Voyeur', 'Sleepless' and 'Corpse Collector' are all interchangeable, so you have to write it down and go back to the 'Tower' to verify it...... Thanks to Russell the Great.
"I wonder which way my 'Fortune Teller' sequence can be interchanged? The 'apprentices' and 'thieves' that the Emperor mentioned together at that time?
Seeing this, he found that the two pages of the diary transcribed by "Justice" seemed to be connected, but the actual content was not coherent, and it belonged to the records of two periods, so he frowned, endured the depression of being out of context, and continued to read:
"On April 13th, I attended a meeting of that old organization, and it was terrifying to think that they were also members of this organization.
"It turns out that the second blasphemous tablet is in the hands of this organization, and I have seen this legendary artifact for the first time!
"Sure enough, it hides unimaginable secrets, hehe, maybe one day in the future, I'm going to make a blasphemous slate that belongs to me, no, it's a group, and each piece must contain an ultimate secret!"
Emperor, tell me what the name of that ancient organization is! You're making me worse than that broken chapter just now! Perhaps, perhaps, Russell did not, or did not dare, write the name of that organization for some purpose, even if he was using Chinese...... Klein was itching and puzzled.
However, from this page of his diary, he finally confirmed that Russell the Great had seen the second blasphemous tablet, and later made a deck of cards from it, each corresponding to a card of the path of the gods.
I just don't know where those cards are hidden and who will get them...... Crane was so moved that he picked up the two pages of the diary that Tower had presented, but after just one glance, he began to wonder if he had "dyslexia", because it was filled with a large number of the following sentences:
"The Mystery of the Lun Fog Detective is Nearly ......"
However, Klein soon understood what was going on and felt the urge to curse the counterfeiter.
Fortunately, I didn't directly agree to the request of the "tower" just now, otherwise it would be too much of a loss to let me divinate something of unknown origin with such a page of "garbled characters".
He took a deep breath and picked up the second page again, but this time it was something more "serious".
After reading it, Klein tapped his fingers on the edge of the long bronze table and thought:
"Karen? This is probably the second time I've seen him appear in Russell's diary...... I remember that in the last diary, Rossell still hated the Bloodline, why didn't he send him a beautiful woman......
"And in the diary I got earlier, I mentioned Russell's expedition to the Misty Sea...... It was probably a month after the time recorded in the diary page that Tower took out that Russell acquired the ghost ship of the Black Throne.
"They soon discover an island that is not on the way, and then Green, one of the so-called 'Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse', becomes strange and seems to be infected by something......
"And what about Russell, who was not fundamentally different from Green's rank at that time...... Could he have contracted something on that island as well?
Is that why Cullen was reluctant to follow, and even resolutely blocked Russell's voyage? Is it divination or prophecy? But why don't you say it...... Isn't the symbolism you get accurate enough? ”
Klein's thoughts raced, and he thought of a lot for a while.
But he quickly restrained his thoughts, looked away from his diary, looked at the "Hanged Man", "Justice", "Tower" and "Sun", and said with a smile:
"I've kept you waiting, now it's time to start discussing freely."
As soon as his words fell, the "Hanged Man" Alger looked at the "Tower" beside him and said directly: "I have scraped together enough money, you can now tell me the recipe of the 'Wind Favorer'." ”
"That's enough soon?"
Even if it is deducted, it still needs 1,800 gold pounds, which is a lot of money. As Abner thought so, he asked Mr. Fool for a pen and paper to embody, and began to write down the recipe silently.
"Hehe, because I got a commendation for the 'Hell General' thing, I barely managed to get it." Alger didn't choose to hide it, but said it generously. After all, even within the church, there are only a handful of people who know that he is the one who reported it, and all of them are high-level, and outsiders cannot find out his identity through this.
"Admiral Hell?" Miss "Justice", who was sitting across the long bronze table, immediately came to her senses.
The sinking of the "Black Tulip" by the "Pritz" ironclad ship in Ludville is currently the top priority of the kingdom, and the headlines of various newspapers, how could Audrey not know.
It's just that we Tarot will still be interfering in this matter?
Thinking like this, Audrey became even more excited, completely out of the state of "audience".
