Chapter 50: Meeting
To be honest, the price of 10,000 gold pounds is actually quite cheap compared to the secret puppet of "Hell Admiral", and it can even be said that this is upside down.
After all, Ludville's bounty for Rune alone reached 55,000 pounds!
Klein bought it for 10,000 pounds, and he could earn at least 40,000 gold pounds from a single sale.
But he hesitated, not because he couldn't afford it yet, but because he was thinking about the purpose of Gardelia's generosity.
Soon, he tasted the hidden worry of the other party from the other party's emotional color and subtle movements.
She is afraid of Mr. "Fool's" punishment, so she wants to get through my relationship with "Dependent" and help her reduce her punishment?
Or is it just an attempt?
Well, this atmosphere cannot be long, otherwise where is the majesty of Mr. "Fool"? This is a matter of principle, and it is not because I don't have enough money.
At this thought, Klein looked at Gardelia's eyes full of mystery, and said meaningfully: "I need to think about it, after all, some decisions must be made carefully before making them, otherwise they may be regretted." ”
Hearing this, Gadelia's lips pursed, and it took a long time before she withdrew the "Hell Admiral", and said in a complicated tone: "You are right......
Just as she was about to leave with a disappointed farewell, Klein stopped her again and added, "Hopefully we can close this deal after Monday's party." ”
That is, will I survive next Monday? He's actually sure...... Just don't want to take advantage? Hearing this, Gadelia's eyes lit up, and she immediately understood the meaning of Klein's words, turned around and said solemnly, "Okay." ”
After seeing off Gardelia, who had taken a little brisk footsteps, Klein was about to return to the bathroom, but at this moment, his gaze suddenly froze, because there was a familiar back standing in front of the window at some point, his figure was very well proportioned, and he was dressed a little strangely, it was the "mysterious queen" Bernardette.
Ma'am, didn't your father teach you? Don't just go into other people's rooms, especially those of strange men? As a lady of noble birth and good upbringing, you should wait at the door and ask earnestly if I will be able to come in...... Just like Cordelia just now......
O Emperor, you don't recall any books on education?
Klein silently complained a few words, and quickly recalled if there was anything wrong with the conversation with Gardelia just now.
It doesn't seem like there's anything ...... Probably? Your Excellency the "Mysterious Queen", believe me, I definitely didn't 'bully' her just now!
However, before he could speak, the "mysterious queen" Bernadette turned her back to him and spoke:
"This is an anonymous account of the Susit Bank, in which fifteen thousand fils are kept......
"In addition, if you encounter anything in the future, I can help you once."
With that, she tossed it casually, and a deposit slip landed accurately on the table in front of Klein.
Is this talking about conditions? Well, although Mr. "Fool" has his own principles, he actually had no intention of killing Gardelia...... It's nothing more than a tap......
Klein thought about it for a while, and felt that it was too difficult to take the money, and if he didn't take it, he might offend the other party, so he decided to tell the truth: "My lord has no intention of embarrassing her. ”
"There really is no calamity in her recent fate." Bernadette nodded, "However, you should take the deposit receipt, I may ask about something through Gardelia in the future...... And my promise won't change. ”
"Good!"
At this point, if you don't accept it, maybe Bernadette will have to withhold herself from negotiating terms with Mr. "Fool......
After weighing the pros and cons, Klein finally decided to reluctantly accept it.
……
Nightmare afternoon town.
After leaving the "Morning Star City", Abner stood at the entrance of the upper and lower stairs, pondered for a moment, and then opened the "Pure White Eye", and divided a "Wisdom Eye" to devote himself to the "unknown place" behind it, communicating with the "Wheel of Fortune" lying quietly on the illusory sun.
- Unable to determine exactly where the entrance to the dry "Sea of Chaos" is, Abner decided to try his luck and wanted to use the "Wheel of Fortune" to make it concrete.
After becoming a demigod, Abner has been able to initially take advantage of the uniqueness of this "fate" path, as long as it is not excessive, the backlash can still be controlled within a certain range.
In the ruins of the "God of Luck" before, he used the concrete idea of the uniqueness of the "Wheel of Fortune" to play a "simulator...... And now he's ready to try something else.
As a result, a line of text projection soon appeared in front of Abner's eyes:
"In the afternoon, there are many places in the town that may hide the entrance to the Chaos Sea, and you decided to go to-
"1. The basement of the house you first came here in.
"2. In the original book, Derick and the chief got important information about the church.
"3. Return to 'Morning Star City'.
"4. Ascend the steps to the upper level of the town in the afternoon and enter the royal court."
Since the "Destiny Representation System" developed by Abner is not yet perfect, he can only look at the options at present, and he can't choose at all, let alone forcibly transfer to the corresponding "Destiny Branch" according to the content of the options after choosing......
But the option itself can reveal a lot of information.
"The uniqueness of the 'Wheel of Fortune' will certainly not be untargeted...... It should be the same as its predecessor, the 'Probability Dice', the four options represent four different outcomes, some bad and some good......
"And the entrance to the 'Sea of Chaos' should be at the location of one of these four options."
After a moment's thought, Abner turned his attention to the content of the options again and began to analyze:
"The first item, the basement of the room where I first appeared...... It seems most likely, but I double-checked it at the time, and it is true that there is no residual breath of the 'Chaos Sea'...... And because of the 'sun', there may be a lot of monsters there...... It's not the worst, but it's not good.
"Second, there should still be a fallen clergy soul in the abandoned church in the original book...... It also looks sinister, but it's the most likely.
"Because there is a high probability that the priest is worshipping the dark angel...... And the dark angel is burdened with the pollution of the 'Chaos Sea'...... There's a lot of potential for a dry entrance.
"The third item, return to the 'Morning Star', which should not be dangerous for the time being, but it is also impossible to go back to Baiam...... It's a middle-of-the-road option.
"Fourth...... Entering the Court of the Giants in a nightmare? Isn't that crazy? If you encounter the dream of the old gods, you will die!
"Although, there is definitely an entrance to the 'Chaos Sea' in the Giant King's Court...... But that's where even the 'True Creator' doesn't dare to come close, so he can only wait for Klein to 'open the door'!
"So all things considered...... The abandoned entrance to the 'Sea of Chaos' that was relocated is in the church...... And it was the remnants of the aura of the 'Chaos Sea' that kept that priest's soul immortal for many years. ”
Thinking of this, Abner did not hesitate any longer, and after a little discernment of direction, he walked towards the church.
……
On a realistic afternoon in town, Derick and Colin arrive at a church that has collapsed most of its parts.
The church originally had a tall tower, and the whole was made of classical stone pillars and masonry arches, which was heavy and bleak.
Through the large gates, Derrick and the others followed the "chief" to the prayer hall, where they saw that the idol had been destroyed, but the candles on the altar had been lit by someone.
In front of the altar, a figure in a simple white robe prostrated there, praying in a low voice, so that no one could hear it.
On the other hand, a group that was originally here in Silver City disappeared.
Heim, Joshua, and Derick were abruptly silent and didn't say a word, and in such a scenario, the fact that the exploration team didn't show up at the first time basically meant that the ending was not very good.
Colin retracted his gaze and said expressionlessly:
"Go to the clergy and listen to what it's praying for."
Derrick and the others nodded silently, and marched towards the collapsed idol step by step.
After a dozen or so steps, they could clearly see the appearance of the white-robed figure from the oblique side, which was a middle-aged man with deep outlines and tears.
The clergyman's face was almost touched to the floor tiles, and he muttered to himself:
"Lord Almighty, I repent,...... Seducing Sasriel, the kings frequently went to the palace at dusk to conspire.
"The people of this town have changed at some point, setting up secret altars, performing strange rituals, and doing all sorts of things you are not allowed to do.
"I found it all, but it was too late, and the fall, the blood, the darkness, the rot, the killing, the filth, and the shadows had flowed and flooded the land.
"The great catastrophe will start here!"
Where did the abandonment of this land by the "Creator of all" begin? Who seduced "Dark Angel" Saslil? This man should have spoken, but I didn't hear it...... As soon as Derrick thought of this, he saw the "chief" Colin suddenly stand up straight, and the morning light also spread out in an instant.
Seeing this, Derrick's heart sank, and together with Heim and Joshua, he formed a formation to cover each other, and looked in the direction facing the chief.
I saw a man dressed in tight black slowly appear, it was none other than Laloa, one of the missing members of the church exploration team.
"Chief!" Seeing that the chief was here, Laroa immediately shouted excitedly, but he didn't rush closer, but subconsciously looked behind him.
And there, a man who was dressed in a completely different style from the people in Silver City also came out of the darkness at this moment.
However, this kind of dress, Derick and Chief Colin had seen it, and they knew that in the bright world beyond this land, there was a large city called "Beckland...... And this type of clothing is a common wear for people living there.
"Huh?" When Darek saw the man who suddenly appeared, he first felt a little familiar, and after a little thought, he confirmed the source of the familiarity, so his eyes widened, and he blurted out in surprise:
"Mr. 'Tower'? How did you end up here?! ”
