Chapter 438: Klein who is behind the pot
After a moment of silence, "The Hanged Man" Alger said:
"When I was investigating the 'Lieutenant General of the Disease', I found someone who had taken over from her...... Maybe it has something to do with the disappearance of colonial slaves, so you can help me keep an eye on it.
"The man, who identified himself as Barron, had a brownish-red complexion and was distinctly of the Southland, but someone had happened to hear him speak in a Beckland accent.
"His third left tooth is missing, but it is likely to have been filled.
"In addition, the appearance is not characteristic, and the height is quite ordinary.
"If you can find him, the reward is not a problem, at least 100 pounds, or the equivalent."
After Alger finished speaking, his gaze swept over the "Tower", "World" and "Trial" in turn, although he was reluctant to provoke the "Sick Lieutenant General", but the pirate general was only involved in the transportation, and the characters upstream and downstream of it were worth checking out.
The "trial" took a careful note and decided to go back and look for it, she had been short of money lately, and 100 pounds was already a lot of money.
Although Abner knew that the man named Barron should be in the tomb of the Blood Emperor in the northwest suburbs of Beckland during the Great Smog Incident before the New Year, he did not know where the other party was now, so he only nodded silently, signaling that he would pay attention, and did not speak.
Klein, on the other hand, sighed helplessly, and said in his heart: With such a description alone, even divination cannot be completed, let alone finding someone in reality......
After waiting for a few seconds, seeing that no one else proposed a transaction or entrustment, the party automatically moved to the "free exchange" session.
The "fool" himself maintained an unfathomable posture, but he controlled the "world" and said gloomily and hoarsely:
"While investigating the 'Sauron' family, I discovered an interesting anecdote...... That is, a seal numbered '0-22' of the 'Sauron' family suddenly came to life more than a hundred years ago, and then through a series of conspiracies and calculations, the former royal family of Intis declined, and indirectly assisted Russell to obtain the power of Intis. ”
“0-22”? Was Sauron's decline actually a conspiracy or some kind of negative effect that began with the "0" seal? It's horrible...... However, this is just a rumor that the "world" heard, and it may not be entirely true...... "Hanged Man" Alger thought in surprise.
Surveyed from? I saw it in my diary...... But why say it now? I remember having this in my diary I submitted last month...... Abner was a little puzzled, but naturally used the previous secret spit to hide his emotional changes.
"Magician" Furth was surprised that Mr. "World" was investigating an ancient family that had been inherited for thousands of years, even if it had declined, but there must still be some heritage, otherwise there would be no way to fight back in the later years of Russell the Great......
My initial judgment was correct, Mr. "World" is indeed an extraordinary person of extremely strong strength! In the Tarot Society, he should be one of the strongest people outside of the "Fools...... I just don't know who is more powerful than him and Mr. "Tower".
Just as Furth was thinking about it, Audrey "Justice" had already asked curiously, "What kind of object is that?" ”
Good question, Miss Justice! Klein sighed in his heart, and on the surface, he put his hands on his chin and said in a hoarse voice like before:
"It's called the 'Calamity Seal', and it's essentially the 'Conqueror' trait of Sequence 1 of the 'Hunter' path......" He paused, and then asked as if unintentionally. Has anyone heard of it? ”
Sequence 1 of the "Hunter" path was originally called "Conqueror" ...... "Calamity Seal"? Just by the name, you know that the negative effects must be terrible......
"Justice", "Hanged Man", "Magician" and "Trial" all thought in unison.
Only Abner frowned, for he remembered that the name "Calamity Seal" was not mentioned in the diary he had submitted, and that he had heard it from Cullen......
Is this Klein himself finding a diary that didn't appear in the original book? Or is the diary submitted by Miss "Justice" today not the content of "Huang Tao's first experience of traveling, seeing the extraordinary for the first time", "Lingao Five Hundred Wastes and Miss Douyin" and "I bought a silver medal before crossing" in the original book?
However, since Klein took the initiative to provoke this topic, it means that the seal has attracted his attention...... Could it be that the activation of the "Calamity Seal" really hides some secrets?
Hey, there's too little information to draw conclusions......
While Abner was thinking about it, he was keenly aware of the eyes of the "world" coming to him, as if expecting something to be said.
I seem to have been a little "confused" just now, and I must have been noticed by Mr. "Fool...... Looks like we have to say something to cover it up...... Well, I can't say what I mentioned in my diary, but I can pick out what Cullen wrote in the letter...... By the way, let's test what exactly caught Klein's attention.
Thinking so in his heart, Abner pondered for a moment before he spoke: "I heard that this seal, it is rumored that Russell the Great liked it very much after becoming the archon, and often carried it with him, and even after becoming 'Caesar', he wanted to use it as a 'state seal'...... It's a pity ......"
As he spoke, Abner shook his head in mock regret.
"What a pity?" The "magician" Forthth, who had been listening to the story, took over the conversation and asked curiously.
The others also leaned forward slightly, making a gesture of listening.
Very well, so that you are "asking" knowledge from me to "solve" the problem...... Turning this thought in his mind, Abner didn't sell it anymore, and continued: "It's a pity that after Russell the Great became emperor, the seal disappeared inexplicably, and it never appeared again. ”
This is what Cullen told him, as Russell's courtier, although he can no longer be trusted in the later period, he still knows some important things.
"That's it?" "Magician" Furth thought it was a terrible story, and she thought that the defeat of Russell the Great was also caused by this "seal", which was even more legendary......
At least I'll have to wait until Russell dies before he disappears, so I can live up to my expectations...... If I were to write it, I would definitely be able to write a "Thing That Brought Disaster to the Country" that spanned several dynasties...... Mr. "Tower" really can't tell a story...... In addition to the slander, Furth suddenly had a new inspiration.
And the "fool" Klein, who was sitting at the top, heard a different meaning from the words of "Tower": Liu Bo suddenly disappeared? Did they fall out? Liu Bo disagrees with Russell's claim to be emperor? No, as a traverser who has gone through so many lives, Liu Bo will not oppose Russell just because of those things, maybe there is something deeper that I don't know about the reason in it......
Of course, it may also be that Liu Bo is tired of being a "seal", and once again returns to the unknown place and "crosses" again......
While speculating in his heart, Crane manipulated the "world" and asked, "Do you know why it disappeared?" ”
It seems that Klein really values the "Calamity Seal"! I remember that the seal was probably formed after the fall of the "Grim Reaper...... Could it be that it has something to do with Mr. Azik that makes Klein so important? Well, quite possibly!
Thinking in his heart, Abner shook his head on the surface and said regretfully: "I really don't know much about this......
After judging from the color of "emotion" that the "tower" really didn't know, Klein had to sigh secretly, and controlled the "world" to provoke a second topic:
"There was an explosion at the West Bailang dockyard in the Bakerland docks, does anyone know what's going on?"
He didn't really want to ask that, after all, no one knew better than him what the explosion was all about, and that's what he did!
And Klein deliberately said this so that Miss "Trial" could take over the conversation and tell her what MI9 had discovered in this incident and why Caspers had been arrested.
There was an explosion at the shipyard in Sibairang? The "magician" Furth, who had been writing books for a week, had never heard of this at all, and his face was a little dazed.
"Justice" Audrey, who had read the news in the newspaper, was surprised: "Wasn't the explosion at the West Bailang dockyard caused by the illegal stacking of dangerous goods?" Is there anything else hidden? ”
Explosion of dangerous goods? That's a good reason...... I'm guessing the reporters who covered it didn't go to the scene. "Fool," Klein complained in his heart.
"Judgment" Hugh took over at this time, as Klein wished, and she organized the language and said:
"According to MI9, the explosion was the result of a fight between the Extraordinary, and it is suspected that the weaker side planted a lot of explosives in advance in order to attract the official Extraordinary...... However, they did not know that the West Bailang dockyard was stacked with goods worth tens of thousands of pounds, including dangerous goods, and as a result, the explosion of explosives caused a martyrdom and the goods were destroyed......"
Nonsense, how could Miss Sharon, as a "blasting expert", not make sure that there were any dangerous goods nearby when planting explosives? And I was hiding in the warehouse at the time, and I didn't see anything worth tens of thousands of pounds!
"Fool" Klein almost blurted out a rebuttal when he heard this.
"Tens of thousands of pounds of goods are gone?" "Magician" Firth had a look of pity in his eyes, and couldn't help asking, "What are those things?" How is it so valuable? ”
"Judgment" Hugh glanced at her and replied calmly, "There are many kinds of things...... For example, the 'steam engine' that I mentioned earlier for Mr. 'Tower'. ”
This...... This is blatant "corruption"! Is it really reasonable for MI9 to put what has been copied in an abandoned shipyard?
Miss "Magician" and "Fool" gritted their teeth at this behavior at the same time.
"Hey, this is the basic operation of the kingdom's official ......" "Hanged man" Alger smiled mockingly, and couldn't help but say, "The garrison in Byam will pay 1 pound for a roll of toilet paper!" ”
As soon as this sentence came out, not only the "magician" and "fool" were dumbfounded, but even the "justice" lady was a little surprised, but she didn't expect that the atmosphere of the kingdom had become like this.
You must know that 1 pound can make a "poor" family in the East End live well for a week!
Miss "Trial" also knew that this was very bad, but she was now an official official, and she couldn't say anything, so she had to change the topic and say:
"MI9 and the Heart of the Machine have arrested several arms dealers, but the source of the explosives has not been found......"
That's what I used as an excuse to catch Caspers...... It's just that he didn't stand interrogation, and he was still living comfortably in the prison at MI9 headquarters...... Hugh added in his heart
