Chapter 307: What a coincidence!
Beckland, back in the carriage to the hotel.
Klein's new butler, Walter, is looking at his new employer with a serious face and giving advice from a professional point of view:
"With the current living situation, you will also need a family property manager, either male or female, a valet, two maids of the first class in charge of the bedroom, two maids of the second class in charge of the living room, two valets in charge of receiving guests, a maid in the storeroom, a maid in the kitchen, two maids in the washing room, and two male servants in rough work.
"To these, a cook, two gardeners, two coachmen, or a coachman, a coachman's assistant, and if necessary, an attendant, a small worker, a household nurse, a cook's assistant, ......"
Listening to the butler's detailed introduction of the servants and carriages needed, Crane's mind fluttered.
Not counting the attendants, the clerks, the domestic nurses, the cook's assistants, the 10 to 11 male servants, the 9 to 10 female servants plus the housekeepers were almost double what I had expected, and the expenditure was more than £10 a week, which is £560 a year!
Add in the £315 for renting a house and £400 for buying a carriage, and the estimated expenditure is at least £1,300. And that's not even counting the cost of living and the need to hold occasional balls or dinners, as well as the cost of renting a manor house in the suburbs......
All in all, the annual expenditure is at least 3,000 pounds or more, which is equivalent to the bounty of a sequence 6 level pirate!
Although Klein's current deposit is close to 50,000 gold pounds, the money can't be spent like this!
After all, he still needs to find a way to buy extraordinary materials for the promotion of the magician, and this aspect is the big money spender. A Sequence 5 extraordinary trait is worth nearly 10,000 gold pounds, and Crane can't even think about how much the extraordinary trait of Sequence 4 is worth, and 50,000 pounds may not be enough.
Moreover, he had to leave some for Benson and Melissa......
Klein watched Walter's mouth move, and his thoughts drifted away. Walter saw that Mr. Dwayne Dantès, who was calm and elegant and very personable, nodded frequently, and subconsciously expanded the topic a little:
"You'll also need to rent a manor house in the suburbs and entertain some friends there for a pleasant weekend, but don't worry, after you've had a few balls and dinners at number 160......
"Sir, don't pretend to be a handyman in front of your neighbours in this block, only those families who earn less than £500 a year and can't hire enough maids to do different things will hire handywomen!"
Klein listened numbly, reflexively smiling gently.
When he returned to the hotel and saw Walter, the butler, go out, he sat down, losing all expression.
By now, with his own efforts and the help of other friends, he has now solved most of his troubles.
Even the true Creator, whom he once regarded as his great enemy, is now their ally, though only temporarily.
And if you put aside the 'Tianzun' who uses him as a stand-in and tries to revive in his body.
Then there is only one hidden danger left for Klein now-
Ince Zangwill.
For the culprit who killed himself and the captain, Klein has never forgotten his great shortcomings!
Whether it is the advent of the evil gods in Tingen or the Great Smog in Beckland, there is the shadow of this renegade archbishop. And Klein returned to Beckland this time, in addition to coming back to see Benson, their main purpose was to deal with Ince Zangwill.
In the past, it was not strong enough to confront it head-on.
But now that Crane is Sequence 5, even if he can't kill Ince Zangwill, he at least has enough self-preservation.
Although even if Ince Zangwille is found, there is a high probability that he will not be able to take revenge with his own hands.
But this kind of work doesn't necessarily have to be done by himself, and he can ask Mr. Azik and Miss Courier for help. They are all at least angel-level existences, even if their strength is damaged for some reason, it is not a problem for the two of them to join forces to kill a demigod, even if this demigod holds a level 0 seal.
Ten thousand steps back, even if Azik and Miss Courier teamed up to kill Ince Zangwill, he could still ask Ember to do it.
After all, '0-08' is most likely the extraordinary trait of Sequence 1 of the Visionary's pathway, and the 'Fantasy Angel' of the Dusk Hermit Society has been pursuing the whereabouts of this last Sequence 1's extraordinary trait.
Judging from the current situation, Ember and him are not friends or foes, and they must not mind hindering the other party from becoming the true god of Sequence 0......
While Klein's thinking diverged, he couldn't help but feel a little painful when he thought of his expenses for the next period of time.
Why did he choose a false identity as a 'businessman' in the first place? Why can't you choose a detective like 'Sherlock Moriarty'? After all, detectives not only don't cost money, but they can also make money!
At 2:40, Klein rubbed the corners of his forehead, slowly got up, and entered the bedroom, ready to convene this week's tarot meeting.
And when he had just entered the gray mist, he came to the palace with the high dome.
When I sat in the place of the 'fool', I realized that someone had been waiting here for a long time.
Klein was stunned for a moment, but not surprised.
Because the only thing that can not only allow free entry and exit from the gray fog is the embers—
Originally, Ember couldn't do it, not only him, but neither Amon nor the other gods could enter the gray mist without Crane's permission. Even if it is an invasion, it can only have a short-term impact, and cannot completely occupy the gray fog.
As for why Ember was able to come in, it was of course because of Crane's own choice, after all, he personally invited Ember up......
Instead of dwelling on the question, Klein asked:
"Is something wrong?"
Ember is free to enter and exit the Grey Mist, and has some clearance above the Grey Mist. However, with his personality, he would not normally go above the grey fog without Klein's permission.
Even if he enters the Gray Mist, he will touch certain arrangements above the Gray Mist to inform Crane that he will find an opportunity to meet him above the Gray Mist as soon as possible.
But there was neither, which means that Ember had just come in and must have had something very important.
As for what the specific thing is, Klein actually has some guesses in his heart-
Ember had only recently taken Grossell to the Court of the Giants, something must have happened there.
"There were a few small things, I went to the court of the giants, and there I saw the first 'desecrated stone tablet'."
Ember briefly recounted what had happened above the gray mist, and then wrote on the paper the subsequent potion recipes for the 'Fortune Teller' path.
Crane's expression was a little strange, because the operation was completely unexpected.
You must know that before this, he was still struggling with whether to go to the main peak of Honachis to find clues about the follow-up potion formula, but Ember put all the follow-up potion formulas in front of him in the blink of an eye......
Of course, that doesn't mean Klein doesn't need to go to the main peak of the Hornachis Mountains.
Because there are only three extraordinary properties of Sequence 1, one of which is the main peak of the Honaches Mountains, the other is in Zarathu, and the rest is missing, but it is likely that it is also the main peak of the Honaches Mountains.
In other words, if he wants to advance to Sequence 1 or Sequence 0, he still has to go to the main peak of the Hornachis Mountains. However, before you had to go when you reached Sequence 4, now you can go after you have promoted to Sequence 2, and the danger level of the two is not the same.
Klein memorized the first key words in the embers' story, such as 'Blasphemous Slate', 'Bradel, God of Honor', and 'True Creator', and sifted through the key points to ask:
"So, the question now is how to get Mr. 'Gate' to return to the material world?"
"Yes."
Ember Jaw said:
"But there's no need to rush too much, after all, I'm only Sequence 5 right now."
It wasn't until he reached Sequence 2 that he needed to consider returning Mr. 'Gate', who had the extraordinary properties and uniqueness of three copies of Sequence 1.
Klein has a strange expression, you call this Sequence 5?
He pondered for two seconds, then said:
"There may be a corresponding record in Russell the Great's diary, and I will try to find clues from it. But you have to be careful, after all, the return of Mr. 'Gate' must be accompanied by a huge crisis. ”
In Russell's diary, Mr. 'Door' hinted more than once that Russell would let him go back to the material world.
But judging from the current results, Mr. 'Gate' is still trapped in the 'starry sky' and cannot return. Obviously, Russell had just been prostituting Mr. 'Gate' for nothing, never wanting to actually help him return.
Of course, perhaps in his later years, Russell really considered bringing back Mr. 'Gate'.
After all, his situation at that time was definitely not good, but it was limited to 'consideration', because Russell did not help Mr. 'Gate' lift the seal until his death, which is enough to show that Russell was full of jealousy of Mr. 'Gate', and even Russell, who had a high probability of becoming a 'true god' at that time, felt dangerous!
Soon.
Little by little, the time passed until three o'clock in the afternoon.
The 'Fool' Crane and the 'Lover' end their conversation, pre-manifesting the 'world' while pinching the spreading spirituality and touching the crimson star that represents the 'Justice' and others.
Streams of light rose up, and relatively vague figures appeared on either side of the bronze table.
'Justice' Audrey, who had just finished a salon, wore a skirt with lace at the cuffs and rounded pearls, she stood up lightly but skillfully, lifted the hem of her skirt, and saluted:
"Good afternoon, Mr. Fool."
Klein's mood improved a lot, and he nodded with a smile and responded to the other party.
At the same time, he couldn't help but sigh secretly:
"A new rich man is so expensive, and a nobleman like Miss Justice usually has a lot of expenses!"
After the members had exchanged greetings, he looked leisurely at the Hermit, knowing that the pirate general would most likely provide a new Russell diary. As he expected, the 'Hermit' Gardelia took the initiative to speak:
"Mr. Fool, I've collected three more pages of Russell's diary."
Klein was not surprised by this, and bowed his head slightly.
Gadelia immediately revealed a few pages of her tawny diary, and watched it fall in front of Mr. Fool in a spiritual state.
Klein pretended to look down casually, and quickly read the contents of the paper:
"It's really unexpected, the Quaternary history revealed by Mr. Men is getting more and more interesting.
"This unfortunate fellow who was trapped in the storm and lost in the depths of darkness told me that the Black Emperor died once and came back to life......"
Crane's eyes condensed slightly, and he frowned slightly.
He smells of 'conspiracy'!
He had just told Ember that he was going to find clues from the 'Russell Diary' to help Mr. 'Gate' break the seal, and it turned out that this time the diary happened to be related to Mr. 'Gate'!
This 'coincidence' made Klein, who had some PTSD, instinctively wary, but soon he recovered-
After all, he had just talked to Ember about it, and it didn't take more than ten minutes before and after.
And the 'Hermit''s Russell diary must have been prepared in advance, which means that this incident must have happened before they talked.
So, this time it's probably really just a coincidence.
With this figured out, Klein continued to read down.
The content recorded in the diary is very informative -
And the protagonists are Mr. 'Gate' and 'Black Emperor'.
The Black Emperor was betrayed by the 'Blood Emperor' and the 'Night Emperor' with the support of the six gods, and thus fell.
But he still has the possibility of resurrection, which makes the situation of the 'Blood Emperor' and the 'Night Emperor', who have just taken away the extraordinary characteristics of Sequence 1 'Prince of the Killing Order' from the 'Black Emperor', extremely embarrassing.
Because the 'Black Emperor' at that time was already in the process of resurrection, and this process was an 'order' that even other true gods could not reverse and could not stop. However, in this way, the Blood Emperor and the Night Emperor are likely to fall out of their form in an instant, regressing to Sequence 2.
For this reason, the Lord of the Storm and the Goddess of the Night chose the Night Emperor and helped him to turn to a similar and extraordinary path, the Inquisitor Path, and the United Empire of Tuldo-Trenthorst was divided.
The Blood Emperor Alistatuldor, who was cornered, made the crazy decision to switch to an unsimilar and extraordinary path, and forcibly promoted to the true god at the cost of losing his mind and becoming a madman—and the place of promotion was the ruins of the death of the Medici triad.
The result after that was the Battle of the Four Emperors.
As for Mr. 'Gate', as always, he tries to induce Russell to want to put him back in the real world while revealing some of his secrets.
And, for some reason, Russell actually wrote down the method in his diary!
"Mr. 'Gate' told me that there were two rituals to help him get out of trouble, one was to sacrifice one demigod each of the 'soothsayers', 'apprentices', and 'thieves'......
The second is to take the blood of at least ninety-nine extraordinary members of the Abrahamic family and draw a symbol with it......"
Klein's brows furrowed, and there was a faint uneasiness in his heart—
What a coincidence, really such a coincidence!
If the diary mentions Mr. 'Door', it can be described as a coincidence, after all, Russell's diary contains a very high amount of 'door', and most diaries will mention Mr. 'Door' to a greater or lesser extent.
But who can believe that Mr. 'Gate's method of getting out of trouble is also written in his diary, which is just a pure coincidence?!
