Tuesday, August 28th.

Eight a.m. in a café in Hilston.

Ember sits by the window, gently stirring the coffee in his cup with a spoon while observing the pedestrians passing by through the window.

Until Crane, dressed in a tuxedo and wearing a half-height silk top hat, sat down across from him in silence.

"Welcome to Beckland, Mr. Crane."

Ember put down the spoon and bowed his head slightly to say hello.

"Just call me Klein."

Klein touched his nose and said to the waiter who came closer, "A cup of Southwell coffee, thank you." ”

Ember glanced at the top of Crane's head.

【Celestial Venerable】Klein Moretti

Ember fell into deep thought.

Seeing Klein again, he remembered that long-lost question-

Why is the title of Celestial Venerable's Dependent, Klein, the Fool'?

"Do you mean ......?"

Ember's mind moved slightly, and suddenly he had a bold guess.

Mr. 'Fool' is afraid that it is......

I'm afraid that I have received a two-five child!

"I don't have a lot of time, so I'll just have something to say."

Crane didn't know what Ember was thinking, so he went through the collected thoughts in his mind and said quickly, "First, that sacrificial ring has been used by me, and you can quote the specific compensation price you want." ”

"Second, the dagger you lent me is also lost, and I will compensate according to the price."

Halfway through that, the waiter walked over and brought the coffee to Klein.

Klein picked up a spoonful and scooped a spoonful of sugar into the coffee, stirring gently with the spoon.

But secretly, his afterglow had been quietly observing Ember's expression.

But in fact, Klein is also bitter in his heart!

The sacrificial ring was used by the captain and saved the captain's life, and the money was worth it.

But that dagger was purely unwarranted.

Ember had lent him the dagger, but as long as he returned it later, nothing happened.

But who knew that Leonard guy wasn't particular at all, he actually touched his own corpse!

It is said that the dead are great, and I died to save Tingen, so will you respect me?

And now, although he is 'resurrected from the dead', it is impossible for him to go to Leonard to bring the dagger back in the open.

Therefore, it can only be an extra loss.

Klein's heart was bitter.

was already in debt, but now it is even worse.

"Compensation?"

Ember tapped his fingers lightly on the tabletop, thought for a moment and said, "What do you think of the sacrificial ring and the fool's dagger, a total of ten thousand gold pounds?" ”

"Okay."

Klein took a deep breath and nodded heavily, "I will pay you back this money after raising it as soon as possible, and other than that, I owe you a favor!" ”

Klein actually knew in his heart that the 'sacrifice ring' alone was definitely worth more than 10,000 gold pounds!

Ember was clearly deliberately giving him a favor for the sake of the 'fool'.

And Klein didn't slap his swollen face and become fat.

He can't even afford to pay back 10,000 gold pounds, and if he slaps a swollen face and fills a fat man, isn't that a stupid fork?

But in any case, he is still insolvent after all.

That can only be repaid with favors.

"Well said."

Ember nodded slightly, and continued, "Also, you don't need to pay back this ten thousand gold pounds in cash. ”

“……”

Klein's face froze, and he smiled bitterly, "Then how do you want me to pay it back?" ”

"Counting that favor, how about you help me do three things in total?"

"Yes."

Faced with Ember's offer, Crane only hesitated for a moment before agreeing.

The one thing that doesn't count favors is that the average thing is paid 5,000 pounds.

There was no reason why he shouldn't accept it.

"First things first."

Ember held up a finger, "You help me investigate the relevant information of the 'lawyer' pathway, any information will do." ”

"Okay."

Crane thought for a moment and nodded slightly.

He knew that Ember had been looking for the 'Black Emperor', and the 'Black Emperor' was inextricably linked to the 'lawyer' path, and investigating the 'lawyer' was actually investigating the 'Black Emperor'.

"I haven't thought about the second thing for the time being, so let's owe it first."

Ember took a sip of his coffee and continued, "Let's talk about you, what are your plans now?" ”

"What can I do?"

Klein's expression was grim, and he smiled bitterly, "In addition to completing the task that he ordered, I just want to find the murderer who killed me as soon as possible!" ”

Ince Zangwill!

Crane clenched his fists, he had already succumbed to the murderer who had shamelessly sucked.

If it weren't for the other party's play, he wouldn't have to die.

If you don't kill the other party, you'll be sorry for your death!

"That's right."

Klein suddenly said, "My current name ......"

"Mr. Black?"

At that moment, a newsboy poked his head out of the café door and shouted hesitantly.

Ember turned around and beckoned.

"This is what a gentleman asked me to give you."

The newsboy trotted over and handed Ember a note.

"Sir?"

Ember raised an eyebrow slightly, "What kind of gentleman?" ”

"Well, he's not tall, just a little taller than me, and he looks quite thin."

The newsboy gestured diligently, and Ember immediately understood that the person he was talking about was Hugh.

"Go ahead."

Ember bowed slightly, took out a piece of a one-sule banknote and handed it to the newsboy.

"Thank you, sir."

The newsboy immediately smiled and trotted out of the café.

Ember then spread out the note, and there was an address on it, which made his eyes narrow slightly.

"Klein,"

Ember stood up and said slowly, "I still have some things to deal with, so let's get here today." ”

"Of course."

Klein relaxed his body and a smile appeared on his face, "Anyway, we are both in Beckland, and there will be more opportunities to meet in the future." ”

Ember nodded, took out a pound note and placed it on the table, pausing again before leaving, "I live at 117 Birningham Street, if you need any help, you can go there and find me." ”

"I will."

Klein was stunned, as if he had thought of something, and nodded solemnly.

Seeing Ember leave, Crane sighed softly as if he felt something.

Sure enough.

Next time.

……

Three o'clock in the afternoon.

Ember stood in front of a seemingly unremarkable house, the address Hugh had given him.

If nothing else, Mr. A will be here.

But only if there are no surprises.

However, it doesn't matter if something happens.

He had already let the dog go.

"Bang Bang~"

Ember stepped forward and knocked on the wooden door.

Soon, a middle-aged man who looked like a butler opened the door through a crack.

"Come in, Mr. A is waiting for you."

Ember walked into the house under the guidance of a middle-aged man, and in a small room he saw a man wearing a hood and sitting with his legs crossed, giving him a condescending feeling.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

"Before that."

Ember asked politely, "I want to make sure first, you're Mr. A, right?" ”

"Yes."

Mr. A's gaze swept over Ember, and the corners of his mouth outlined a playful smile, "I hope you are really in a hurry to find me." ”

"Of course."

Ember smiled and nodded, "The Fool asked me to say hello to you. ”

"What?"

Mr. A was stunned for a while, and the next second he saw Ember take out a skull, and his eyes were almost subconsciously attracted by the skull.

And in the next second, Ember suddenly crushed the skull and threw it on the ground!

At the same time, he pulled out another black amulet.

【Tempting Skull】

[A skull tainted with the scent of the soul.]

An item given by the Mentor of the Secluded Church.

Shattered will scatter when thrown, luring nearby enemies closer, but not for all enemies. 】

【Hunting the Undead Talisman】

[A prop used to hunt the undead.]

Within a certain period of time and within the effective range, the means of recovery will not be available.

It is the legacy of the Lloyd knights who led the hunt for the undead in the past. The main god of the White Cult, Lloyd, has long been unbelieved, but the hunt for the undead has not stopped. Only block the resilience of the undead, and respond to the battle with dignity. 】

Mr. A recovered from his stunned and suddenly laughed.

"So you're here to kill me."
