Chapter XXIV
Not only did his different attitudes make Klein feel very confused and wary, but even Audrey and Alger, while being terrified and awe-inspiring by the aura of this high man, could not help but have the same doubt:
Is this gentleman a split personality patient?
After a moment of silence above the gray mist, Crane did not reveal his identity because of the accident just now. In his opinion, the "mystery" in this gentleman's mouth should have some connection with himself anyway.
He kept his calm voice just now, and did not show timidity, and asked tentatively:
"Of course, if you formally propose, I can let you go now."
"You seem to know me, though?"
"What?"
Glerint pretended to be "I don't understand what you're saying," as if he had really forgotten what had just happened.
His rhetorical question left Klein speechless, and he wanted to retell the scene and ask Glerint in detail, but he didn't think it was in keeping with his image as the master of the place.
Klein was inconvenient to ask, but Audrey had no scruples, and immediately described the scene just now in detail, asking:
"You seem to have forgotten what just happened?"
Glerint nodded and replied thoughtfully:
"I think I understand what this is all about."
As for what he understood, he didn't elaborate, let them make up for it themselves.
But in any case, Klein was almost certain that this gentleman should not know him, and maybe other beings had just peeped here.
At this point, Alger calmed down, believing that since the mysterious man could do such a miraculous thing, it was unlikely that he would deceive them with a lie again, so he tried to speak:
"Your Excellency, your attempt is really amazing, I wonder if there is anything else you need our cooperation with?"
Although he has a lot of experience in the mysterious world, he is cautious enough not to act rashly. But he also understands that in this situation where he is completely controlled by others, it is the safest thing to do his best to cooperate with the other party.
"I don't know, I just touched those crimson stars curiously."
At this moment, Klein, who inexplicably felt that it was very low to stand and talk like this, his thoughts floated, and the gray mist reacted to the long table and high-backed chair he imagined.
He sat upright at the top, down with Glerint and Audrey sitting across from each other, and next to Glerint was the dark-blue-haired Alger.
"It's amazing!"
When the blonde girl saw this scene, she sighed even more sincerely, but she didn't know that Mr. Crane, the mysterious person at the top, felt even more magical than her at this time. He was obviously just thinking about it casually just now, but he didn't expect that this gray mist directly manifested such a detailed thing, which perfectly met his expectations.
Just when Klein was unable to answer Alger's question, Glerint took the initiative to steer the topic and said to Alger:
"This kind of attempt is very meaningful, and on top of this magical gray fog, it will be very convenient and hidden for us to trade items and exchange information.
And with this powerful witness of His Excellency, I think we can all have a lot of trust in the information given by others.
So, Your Excellency, would you mind as our witness to make a few more attempts like this?
That's right...... Haven't asked yet, what should we call you? ”
The rest of his words were, of course, directed towards Klein.
While his thoughts were spinning rapidly, Klein tapped the table with his right index finger and replied in a nonchalant voice that matched his identity:
"A little thing."
Immediately after, he withdrew his right hand, crossed his fingers against his chin, smiled and said in a flat tone:
"You can call me ......"
"Fool."
Fool ......
Unexpectedly, the mysterious and powerful title echoed in the ears of Audrey and Alger, which perfectly matched the two of them's perception of Klein's image, making them suddenly feel as if it should have been.
"So ......"
Audrey spoke softly, got up with her skirt and bent her knees slightly, saluted Klein, and said:
"Dear Mr. Fool, as a gathering with aspirations for long-term development, should we give ourselves a code name? After all, you can't communicate with your real name. ”
She was not wary of "Mr. Fool" with magical powers, but two guys on the other side who didn't know the depths.
"Good idea."
Klein affirmed, succinctly.
Then, not surprisingly, Audrey suggested the main tarot card as a codename, and happily chose her own codename:
"Justice."
"What about the two gentlemen?"
She asked.
I don't know if I was dissatisfied with Audrey's self-assertion that the code name was limited to the tarot cards or what's going on, Alger frowned slightly at first, then stretched out, and said:
"Hanging man."
Symbolizing sacrifice, Crane nodded secretly.
At the same time, he saw Glerint on the side groaning slightly, and then spat out a word with a little solemnity:
"Emperor."
Emperor.
Klein secretly read it silently, and then said indifferently:
"Okay, you go ahead."
He is very focused, but on the surface he tries his best to act as if he is listening to a child tell a story.
Emperor...... Alger also repeated it in his heart, remembering the majestic voice and high aura of Glerint before, he couldn't help but show a thoughtful look, he looked at the "righteous" Miss Audrey opposite, and found that he didn't mean to speak, so he took the initiative to ask the "Emperor" Glerint:
"Mr. 'Emperor', since you took the lead in requesting a gathering, I wonder what you need?"
The extraordinary traits of the "Corrupt Baron......
Gleilint replied in his heart, but he also knew that this was not something they could come up with, and it would make no sense except to expose his sequence level.
So he said without answering the rhetorical question:
"You don't look like you're new to the ocean area? Mr. Hanged Man. ”
He didn't ask too bluntly, he didn't directly guess that he was an extraordinary person of the Church of the Storm or a pirate, for fear of arousing Alger's vigilance and resistance.
"It doesn't need to be hidden."
Alger nodded affirmatively, acknowledging Glerint's observation.
After receiving his acknowledgment, Glerint put forward his own needs:
"I need all the intel on Lieutenant General Hurricane and his men, as well as their point of contact on land."
In fact, his real target is "The Clever Talker" Misore King.
The enemy of Zielingers? This Mr. "Emperor" is a strong man in the middle sequence? He also spends a lot of time in the seas?
Alger quickly pondered the underlying meaning of Glerint's words, and made all sorts of guesses.
At this time, "Fool" Klein was still in a state of complete confusion, Tingen was an inland city, and he paid very little attention to the sea, and the original Klein was not interested in adventure and the like, which led to him not knowing what "Lieutenant General Hurricane" was.
Audrey knew something about the seven pirate generals, but she only knew the name:
"Is it one of the seven pirate generals?"
Alger nodded and replied in the affirmative:
"Yes, his name is Zilingers."
After explaining a little to Audrey, he didn't want to reveal that he knew Ringers very well, so he said with embarrassment:
"I can help you investigate, but it will take some time, you know, 'Lieutenant General Hurricane' Ziringers is very dangerous, he is a mid-sequence powerhouse."
"Medium sequence."
Audrey blurted out in amazement, and couldn't help but look at Glerint again.
In her cognition, the middle sequence may be sequence 7, but it may also be sequence 6 or sequence 5, no matter which level, it means that this "emperor" Mr. is strong enough.
"What's going on with the middle sequence?"
Crane listened very attentively, but without Alger's science, he didn't even know about the sequential pathway now.
"Yes, what do you need?"
Glerint nodded, understanding Alger's request.
Alger seems to have been prepared for this:
"Ghost shark blood, at least 100 ml. In addition, this is only the cost of the initial investigation, and if you want a very detailed point of contact, you will need to pay additional fees for the future. ”
After all, the target is a pirate general with Sequence 5 combat power, and the reward proposed by Alger is quite reasonable. Knowing in advance that Gleilynt might be a mid-sequence powerhouse, he naturally didn't dare to blackmail the other party.
This is not out of fear of his strength, for fear that he will find trouble for himself in the real world.
With Mr. Fool's mysterious methods, as long as he is not exposed, Alger basically does not worry about being known by Gleilint about his real identity.
The reason why he didn't dare to blackmail was that as a strong man in Gleilint, he would inevitably have a lot of access and resources in his hands, and if he dared to extort a sum of money now, it would be difficult to guarantee that he would not be blackmailed back by Gleilint even more ruthlessly in the future.
After all, judging by Mr. Fool's acquiescence, it is clear that this gathering is going to continue for a long time.
"Okay, I'll keep an eye on you."
As soon as Glerint finished speaking, he heard Audrey say:
"I'm sure I'll get enough of the ghost shark's blood."
She vaguely remembered that there was a large bottle of this thing in the treasure house of Beckland Castle.
"Well, I need the potion recipe for sequence 8 in the 'audience' pathway, Mr. 'Emperor', if you can get this potion recipe, I can pay Mr. 'Hanged Man' for the preliminary information on your behalf."
"No problem."
Glerint replied with a smile, that it was all expected by him.
The "mind reader" formula in his hand was originally intended to find an opportunity to give it to Audrey reasonably, as long as Klein said "how to play", this formula could be given to her.
At this time, Klein, who was stunned and had no sense of participation throughout the whole process, was close to exhaustion of his spirituality.
So he tapped on the table and said in a low voice:
"Alright, that's all for this meeting.
Future gatherings are scheduled for every Monday, at 3 p.m., and try to be as alone as possible. ”
"Follow your will."
Alger led the way.
Subsequently, whether or not the party was satisfactory enough, Glerlint and Audrey imitated him in the same answer.
Immediately after, the "stars" above the gray mist flickered again, and the crimson light shrank back like water.
Less than a second later, the projections of the three shattered.
The crimson receded from her eyes, and Glerint found herself still lying on the bed in the cheap hotel.
After such a delay, he subconsciously ignored the previous beautiful dream, and only left a little imprint in the depths of his soul.
…………
After attending the party in the "Source Castle" and choosing the code name "Emperor" above the gray mist, Glerint has another thing to do, which is to rely on the essentia of the "ordered world" to redesign a honorific name for himself, and will not reveal his identity.
