Chapter 270: Follow-up
Inside a café on Berlund Street in the North End.
As soon as Ludwell, who Jane was already under her control, pushed the door and walked in, she saw Captain Cordelia sitting alone in the corner with her hood up, still wearing the classical black robe with a very mysterious taste, but there was an indescribable confusion in her expression.
Jane, who saw the captain with such a look for the first time, was a little surprised, and inexplicably a little sad.
But she didn't have time to think about it, she walked up to Gardelia in two or three steps, and said in a low voice, "Madame, let's leave Beckland as soon as possible." ”
Hearing this, Gadelia came back to her senses, she didn't wear those heavy glasses at this time, and her eyes looked at Jane with a slight flow of deep purple and asked, "The operation is over?" ”
"It's over, that baron has been 'purified', but he doesn't leave any extraordinary characteristics......" Jane also had some regrets when she said this, although most of the reason for insisting on attacking and killing the baron was to help Abner cut out the threat, but it would be even more perfect if he could get the characteristics of the other party.
Although she can temporarily control the "Hell Admiral" battle, strictly speaking, Ludville is the public property of the "Future", and cannot be killed at will to obtain characteristics.
Gadelia nodded, then pursed her lips and asked hesitantly, "She...... Did she say anything else? ”
"Madam said, your fate is not ......with her," Jane thought for a moment, relaying to Gardelia a phrase the "mysterious queen" had said before leaving...... Although she didn't know what it meant.
Again...... Isn't my destiny with her? Where would that be? Gadelia muttered to herself, a little distracted.
…… This, isn't this what a heroic pirate general should say?! It's like a confused little girl abandoned by her family...... Captain, your image in my heart has completely collapsed...... Wait, I shouldn't be killed when I see the captain's demeanor, right?
Jian was stunned for a moment, almost suspecting that she had misheard, and immediately complained in her heart. She didn't know what the relationship between the captain and the lady was, so she didn't want to be comforted.
Gadelia closed her eyes, then put a pair of heavy glasses on the bridge of her nose, and then regained her usual demeanor, then stood up and said: "Let's go, her words are always right, since we are allowed to leave Bakeland as soon as possible, if we do not do so, I am afraid that we will be in danger......"
"Yes, Captain." Jane had no objection, having already greeted Hugh and Sharon before coming to Gardelia, and paid them for it. Of course, Hugh didn't ask for it.
"You're not going to say goodbye to him?" At this time, Gadelia suddenly asked with a smile.
"I've said goodbye before...... And this time it's a secret ...... after all" Speaking of this, Jane immediately came to her senses and said in surprise, "Captain, how do you know? ”
"My crew insisted on doing something unconscionable, and I had to know why...... So I asked someone privately. Gardelia pushed her heavy glasses and added, "His reputation isn't very good." ”
"That's a rumor that someone else is jealous of him." Jane retorted.
Gadelia nodded noncommittally, and instead of continuing the conversation, she took out a star-patterned scroll from her pocket and unfolded it on the table.
Seeing this, Jane immediately understood, and took off the beautiful lady's glove she was wearing on her left hand.
Almost at the same time, the connection between the glove and the many fine, illusory black threads that spread out of Ludwell's head, invisible to the naked eye, was abruptly severed.
Ludwell, the out-of-control "Admiral of Hell", was about to fall to the ground, but at that moment, Gadelia recited a word in the ancient Hermetic language:
"Contain!"
Immediately afterward, Ludwell's body became illusory, and he flew into the scroll, where he was rolled up by Gardelia and placed in the pocket he carried with him.
In the face of such a magical scene, the others in the café did not react, as if they did not see it.
……
About half a day after Jane and Gardelia left the café, a middle-aged and elderly man wearing a silk top hat, a slender face, and a somewhat cold temperament walked in, he looked around, frowned and said to himself, "Ludville seems to have suddenly disappeared when he got here......
……
Near the "Yefana" library, Abner, who had been brought back by Mr. Azik, easily found Hugh, who had just come out of the "source of the peach blossoms".
As for Mr. Azik, he went to the library to find suitable books for Baron "Conva".
Hugh saw Abner and felt a little weak, but quickly straightened his back and said, "The operation was successful, and the big man has eliminated Baron 'Conva'. ”
Abner looked at the young lady with a wandering look in her eyes, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
I thought that she had grown a lot more than the original trajectory after a lot of experience...... But now it seems that she is still the "trial" lady in the original book who bravely and recklessly goes up whenever she has the opportunity...... At most, because I have more experience and knowledge, I have adjusted the "posture" of "recklessness......
This is probably the influence of the existence at the top of the two paths of order, although I don't remember what his name is or what his origin is, but intuitively, this kind of reckless temperament that gambles all the chips as long as he is a little sure should come from his ......
So did George III, who planned to forcibly ascend to God, and Russell, who wanted to get rid of pollution...... As for Solomon and the Night Emperor, it is almost the same, otherwise how could they fall so easily as a true god?
It seems that I have made the wisest decision not to tell her the truth about Hugh's father's death...... Otherwise, God knows what kind of mess this young lady will make......
Abner took out a completely asymmetrical gold coin from his pocket and handed it to Hugh.
In the face of such a strange and dangerous enemy as the baron, how could he not use "lucky" before going out?
Seeing this, Hugh consciously pricked his finger and dripped a drop of blood......
After doing this, Abner said to her, "Don't worry, I know what you and Jane are thinking...... However, before I have something like this next time, I hope you can talk to me......"
At least I know a lot of the inside story and can judge how dangerous it is.
Hugh quietly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and then said in a relaxed tone, "Okay." ”
"Don't rejoice too soon...... Foirth is still waiting for you to go back and explain! Abner glanced at her and sneered.
"Forthth? It turned out to be her...... That's why you guessed Jane's plan for me and Jane, right? Hugh was a question, but his tone was quite affirmative, but she immediately became worried, after all, after the last night's urgent mission, she had promised Furth that she would not do anything dangerous behind her back......
Abner looked at Hugh, who was in a "panic", and did not remind her that she could collude with herself and hide from Furth, saying that it was just a "misunderstanding" operation.
She should also be taught a lesson by Furth, so as not to dare to be "reckless" in everything.
While thinking this, Abner silently recited the honorific name of Mr. "Fool" in his heart.
With his knowledge of Klein, when encountering this kind of danger that may be encountered by members of the Tarot Society, he will stay on the "Source Fort" and be ready to rescue him at any time. So now that the matter is over, I have to report back to him and reassure him......
After all, this time there was no "live broadcast", and the mysterious and powerful Mr. "Fool" actually saw nothing.
……
Above the gray fog, in the ancient and majestic palace, Klein listened to the report of the "Tower", and then put down the "Fallen Morning Star" in his hand, and returned to reality with the feeling of simulating a rapid fall.
He had been borrowing the bathroom of this "Old Ville Restaurant" for more than half an hour, and if he didn't go out, he was afraid that someone would knock on the door and ask.
Although this restaurant is not unfamiliar with the staff and owner of this restaurant because of the lunch agreement with the Black Thorn Security Company, it is precisely because of his familiarity that he does not want some strange rumors to spread to the company.
Out of the restaurant, Klein ignored the look of the front desk clerk who wanted to say something, and thought in his heart while walking in the direction of the company:
The ancient baron, who seemed to be searching for the breath of a "fool", was wiped out by the demigod behind Miss Jane in the mouth of the "tower......
But the "tower" also said that the baron was not completely dead, and that he had tracked him to the place of resurrection and sealed it......
The ancients who sought the "fools...... Dead...... He didn't really know the origin of the space on the gray mist, right?
Well, when I have enough strength, let the "tower" open the seal and ask the baron.
Thinking of this, Klein had already walked to the door of the Black Thorn Security Company, he pushed the door in, and just wanted to greet Roxanne, but saw two ladies sitting on the sofa, one was not very old and thin, and the other was plump and fair-skinned, both wearing black soft hats and long black skirts, without extra color.
And the captain was sitting across from them, talking to them.
After carefully looking at the two ladies, Klein suddenly felt a little familiar, and felt that he had seen it somewhere.
As he was thinking about it, he heard the thinner girl say:
"The mission we want to entrust is to track and monitor Mrs. Sharon and find evidence of her crimes."
Mrs. Sharon...... Crane suddenly remembered where the familiarity had come from.
The lady who did not speak was the wife of Congressman Maynard, the daughter of the New Party bigwig; And the one who was talking was Councilor Maynard's sister, a student at the girls' school, and her teacher was the beautiful and popular Ms. Lina......
It's just that the lady doesn't seem to come? Yes, this kind of investigation of "family ugliness" is not suitable for outsiders to participate.
Hey, you found us directly...... I don't know where to get the news. Klein shook his head and smiled.
Captain Dunn was clearly puzzled by the same question, and asked it too.
The emaciated girl recalled her teacher's words and replied:
"It was the tobacco merchant Victor who introduced us to him, and you rescued his kidnapped son so easily, so he praised you as the best in the industry, capable of accomplishing tasks that no one else could do."
Dunn nodded slightly, "I understand." ”
However, after signing the contract, collecting the deposit, and transferring the task to Klein, who was watching the excitement, Dunn hesitated:
"Do you remember the tobacco merchant? What's the kidnapping all about? ”
…… It turns out that the captain didn't remember anything just now, and you didn't understand anything...... Why can you pretend to be so calm and confident! Crane reached out and covered his face.
……
In the evening, Mr. Azik, who had finished transcribing Rosell's scholarly works, finally completed the seal and returned to his villa at 28 Kings Street.
