Chapter 97: Klein's Request
Byam, "The Black Rose Bar".
Klein came here with an ordinary face.
The clientele of the bar is dominated by darker-skinned and curly-haired mulattoes and natives, who either belong to a Byam gang, secretly serve the rebels, or both, and there are not many ordinary people, drinking spirits and discussing various sea rumors with a few adventurers.
As for the pirates, due to the recent landing of the "Blood Admiral" and several clashes with the military and the "Storm Church", they no longer dare to show their faces in public, for fear of being caught by the authorities to vent their anger.
Klein glanced at it, found the person in charge of the bar, and leaned over directly:
"I'm going to meet the couple who arrived here today...... This is a token. ”
As he spoke, he took out a badge and handed it over.
This is something that Mr. "Tower" handed over to him not so long ago.
The person in charge took the badge and looked at it, then glanced up at Klein before nodding:
"Follow me...... Since you are the boss's guest, I will not charge you an entrance fee. ”
Klein silently followed, but complained in his heart:
"Is this really a secret folk stronghold opened by the 'Church of the Night'? How do you make it like a gangster?
"Maybe it's because it doesn't match the style of the goddess, so no one doubts it?"
The two of them passed through the secret door and entered a deep underground passage, and near the end of the tunnel, they suddenly turned into a cave on the left.
The cave looked the size of a basketball court, with doors lining the walls around it, and the person in charge led Crane to the innermost door.
"They're inside, go in yourself." The person in charge said coldly.
This gentleman's temperament is very similar to that of Frye of the "Black Thorn Security Company", and he should be a "corpse collector" or "gravedigger......
Crane nodded thoughtfully, then took a deep breath and pushed the door open and walked into the room.
Immediately after, he saw the figure that was extremely familiar, the figure that had become his most solid support, the figure that shaped the principles of his current behavior, the figure whose hairline was a little higher than before.
Mr. "Tower" said that from the beginning, I was a guardian, from imitating others to being imitated......
And after I crossed over, the first person to imitate was him, for me, he was not only a friend, a boss, but also a mentor and an elder!
I'll never forget the phrase "We saved Tingen" in a mellow voice......
Captain!
It's good that you're alive!
Klein used the "Joker" ability to keep his expression from appearing strange, and then he turned his attention away and turned his attention to Ms. Daly.
Ms. Dai Li is already a little nostalgic...... But it's even more beautiful than ever...... That's right, Ms. Dai Li used to deliberately dress up very old-fashioned, thinking that she could not only hide her feelings, but also refuse the approach of other men......
But in reality, who wouldn't know about the members of the Nightwatch?
Klein recalls a series of events in Tingen with a mixture of joy and sadness.
Happiness is due to the beauty of that time, and sadness is due to the fact that you can never go back......
The captain can show his true face in order to show respect for the "fool's" family, but I don't dare to ...... After all, except for friends like Abner and Sharon, who have strong "background" and "strength", other people will only usher in misfortune if they come close to me!
After secretly sighing with emotion, Klein saw Dunn and Daly get up and greet them one after another, and said politely and vigilantly, "Your Excellency, it's a pleasure to meet you.
"I'm Dunn, and this is Dalie."
No matter how harmless Mr. "Fool" is, they are still in awe of this great being.
Klein thought for a moment, turned back to Gelman Sparrow, took off his hat, and saluted:
"Hello, Mr. Smith, Mrs. Smith."
As he spoke, he pointed to himself again:
"I'm Gelman Sparrow."
"Gelman Sparrow? The strongest adventurer who hunted the 'Slayer'? Dunn blurted out a look of shock on his face.
"Gelman Sparrow? The adventurer who has no clear relationship with the 'Sick Admiral' Tracy, the 'Pale Admiral' Maria, and the 'Admiral of the Stars' Gardelia? Dali blurted out the same thing, but with a completely different focus.
What does it mean to have an unclear relationship? You say what I say is like Lao Huang and Lao Liu! Ma'am, your style hasn't changed! And......
Klein sneered, then glanced at the only mirror in the room, and then unsurprisingly saw Miss Sharon, with blue eyes and a delicate face, with her left palm on her right elbow and her right hand on her cheek, in a gesture of listening.
But strangely, this scene was only visible to Klein, and neither Dunn nor Daly was aware of it.
Miss Sharon became even more elusive when she became a demigod, and I probably wouldn't have noticed it if I hadn't known she was coming, and she didn't have a defense.
Sharon arrived at Byam this morning, and Crane also agreed to the plan proposed by "Lieutenant General Iceberg" and "Pale Admiral" to hunt "Blood Admiral" after discussing with her.
And since she might need her help with the handover of Dwayne Dantès' identity to Dunn, she came along.
Crane ignored Ms. Daly's "teasing" and said with Gelman's characteristic politeness and phrasing:
"I have limited time...... Let's go. ”
Anyway, we can't see each other in real terms, so it's better to end it early.
Dunn and Dali glanced at each other, and didn't feel anything wrong, but in their impression, "Gelman" should be such a character, so they nodded together: "Okay! ”
Dunn then recounts in detail what he has done with "Dwayne Dantès" over the past few months, and at the same time, he takes out a journal in which he records his current relationships and various to-dos.
Dalie's statement is relatively simple, as she has not worked for the Night Watch for several months since she married Dunn, and has only kept in touch with a few bishops' wives.
Finally, Dunn added: "According to the 'script', I will make a lot of money in Byam this time, and when I go back, I will change my residence and hire housekeepers and servants again...... You don't have to worry about the servants in the house seeing that something is wrong. ”
Crane nodded when he heard this, and asked seriously, "What is it to make money?" ”
"You should have seen the natives and rebels in the bar, too...... So, this time I smuggled a batch of arms to them. Dunn explained.
Smuggling arms? This is indeed a huge profit! But why does the secret stronghold of the Church of the Goddess even accept this kind of work? Does the goddess want the indigenous population of the Rorsted Islands to have their own armament? This is similar to Mr. Fool's position.
Thinking so in his heart, Crane asked again on the surface, "Then how much did you make in total?" ”
"I don't know." Dunn shook his head.
"Don't know?" Klein forcibly suppressed his frown, "And how much money did you get?" ”
Or rather, how much money was obtained for the operation.
"The arms deal was real, but I wasn't involved in it, I was just using it as a pretext......," Dunn explained.
In other words, I have to pay for pretending to be rich, renting a house, and hiring people? Klein was dumbfounded, and it was not easy to maintain Gelman's character without revealing Klein's "characteristics".
After that, the three exchanged some more details before Klein politely said goodbye and left.
As soon as he left, Dunn breathed a long sigh of relief, after all, Gelman's reputation for "madness" was there, and he was the "fool's" favorite, and the pressure in his heart was actually very great.
Fortunately, the other party did not "go crazy" on the spot.
Dai Li didn't speak, but looked thoughtful.
"What are you thinking?" Dunn saw his wife's strange appearance and asked with concern.
"This 'crazy hunter' seems to me to feel a little familiar......"
……
On the other side, Klein, who returned to his rented hotel room, was trying his best to persuade Miss Sharon, who appeared in front of him:
"I'd like to ask you to play the role of Mrs. Smith just now...... No, it's Mrs. Dontès.
"That's not difficult...... As you can see, she is more than four months pregnant, and you just pretend to have a baby at home and show up in front of the servants from time to time......
"What do you think?"
Sharon, who was like a puppet, turned her head and looked at Klein fixedly for a while, until she saw that he was about to lose her embarrassment, and then nodded slightly:
"Yes."
