Chapter Eighty-Six: Telling each other about parting, each with their own suspicions
After the beginning of the reminiscence, the two people with secrets tacitly avoid the topic of "how to come back from the dead", even if they are extremely curious about the experience of the other person, in order to maintain this difficult old home, Klein and Esther choose not to investigate this at the same time, and they are sincerely relieved that the other party tacitly does not mention the relevant situation.
Distance produces beauty here, but they also choose to respect each other's privacy and keep their own secrets. However, the experience in Beckland can be said, and the experience of both of them during this period is quite amazing.
After putting down the black tea, Klein decisively took out the materials and built a spiritual wall in the living room, making this conversation extremely secretive.
If it weren't for the inconvenience of pulling Esther directly into the gray fog, it would be the best place for the fellow exchange meeting.
"Caught up in Ambassador Intis's espionage because you were looking for someone? You're unlucky. Esther thought that the apartment she lived in was messy enough, but she didn't expect Klein's experience to be more complicated.
"I think so too...... However, I later hired a Sequence 5 Extraordinary, and if it weren't for her, I might have really fallen into the hands of that soothsayer, Sequence 5' 'Master of Secret Puppets'. β
"But you were ...... then How long is the sequence? β
Klein smiled slightly, not hiding his smugness: "At that time, he was still the 'Joker' of Sequence 8, and now he is the 'magician' of Sequence 7." β
Esther's eyes lit up instantly, and her demeanor completely coincided with Klein's impression of the somewhat naΓ―ve colleague: "Magician! It sounds like a lot of ability, but you didn't apply for a circus. β
"There are so many people in the circus that if it's not really magic, it's going to be sent to church. What about you? Did you find the intel on your own sequence? β
"Well, I found some, and I now know that I was already a Sequence Seven 'decryptor' when I was in Tingen."
"Decryption scholars? I really don't see it. Klein quipped.
"I suspect you're calling me a bad head, but I don't have proof," Esther replied angrily, "but strangely, my sequence doesn't seem to have anything to do with my other abilities. β
Klein felt a lot more relaxed, and finally caught up with the progress of some fellow countrymen: "So you're still in Sequence Seven now?" β
"No...... I'm now the 'Dream Stealer' of Sequence Five. β
Silence is the tea snack of the night.
Seeing Klein's expression of a little loss, Esther waved her hand again and again: "I'm not in the same situation as yours!" I'm not promoted by Potions! I don't even need to 'play' or anything like that, and I don't have a way to move up the ranks anytime soon. β
Klein quickly calmed down his mentality, he remembered the mysterious temple above the gray mist, he also had a special "golden finger", there was no need to find out the secrets of his fellow countrymen, she seemed to be uneasy about it.
Crane then talks about his plot to destroy the "true creator" and successfully kill Lanlius in revenge, leaving Esther untold for a while.
"Thank you......" Esther took a sip of the cooling black tea in her hand, "I don't know much about these things, but if only I had found you earlier, then you wouldn't have to bear so much alone." β
Klein's eyes were also gloomy, and he was thinking about the victims in Tingen: "It's not just for you and me, he and Ince Zangwill have implicated too many innocent people, and I won't give up the investigation." β
"For the sake of those who are still alive, and for the sake of those who are gone." Esther whispered, "The day you face Ince Zanjewell, I'll be there for you." β
Klein had the urge to laugh and cry, but it was only for a moment, and he was used to suppressing such violent and turbulent feelings in his heart. So Klein just smiled on the surface: "What about you, why did you go to the East End to pretend to be a piper?" It's not peaceful over there, is this also related to the ability of the 'Dream Stealer'? β
Esther shook her head: "I was telling the truth, I had developed a very rudimentary intelligence system through those children, and although the information was messy, I could deduce clues to everything, thanks to the analytical skills of the 'decryption scholars'." β
"I see......"
"I wasn't in the East Side, but in the South Bridge District, and a priest from Mother Earth God Church recommended me an apartment. However, I caught the attention of a member of the Aurora Society, and there was another fanning 'spectator' in the apartment, which caused me to abandon my fake identity and residence and escape overnight. β
"Aurora?"
Esther's face wrinkled again, fully expressing her inner depression: "Yes, they seem to want me to pray to the 'true Creator' they believe in......"
"That's a dangerous thing!" Klein hurriedly reminded, "The people of the Aurora Society are basically crazy, and they did the assassination of Ambassador Indis!" β
Of course, he concealed who hired Mr. Aurora to do this, and Klein didn't expose himself yet.
Esther sighed, "Well, of course I know, so I'm not going to run away in embarrassment." Now you can only earn a little tip by playing the harmonica everywhere to attract customers to the cafΓ©, and it's no problem to mix up food. β
"But the one you're talking about can't be Father Utravsky, right?"
"That's him! Although he was always overzealous in proselytizing, he was a good and reliable man. β
Klein couldn't help but think of Emlyn White, the vampire who was working as a priest in Harvest Churchβhe would certainly protest Esther's assessment.
After Klein shared what he learned about the "extraordinary properties of immortality and conservation laws", Esther recounted some of the phenomena she had come into contact with, including the control of plants by the "Harvest Priest", Mr. A's strange flesh shadows, and the corresponding abilities of the "Judge" sequence, which gave Klein a lot of knowledge about other avenues as well.
Esther also gives Klein a brief explanation of the changes in her abilities, and the things she stole begin to transform from physical to conceptual. This gave Klein a lot of encouragement, and he was determined that the "soothsayer" path would have the same bizarre qualitative change in Sequence 5.
"Do you have any plans for the future?"
Esther hesitated for a moment, but nodded: "I want to explore those buried histories, mainly the Tertiary Period, and maybe even related to the Second Age. β
Crane naturally thought of the "Tarot Society" convened by the Fools, where there happened to be a member from the Godforsaken Lands, and the Silver City, where the "Sun" was located, preserved many ancient scrolls from that ancient era: "So far away? I may have a channel to help you ask, what are you looking for? β
"A being whose name is 'Zoya', and the Aurora Society is also looking for her, but I'm not sure if it's her or it, or maybe even him? Related images include a lark, andβ" Esther beckoned above her forehead, and a dozen points of light emerged from her hair, flying leisurely around her fingers, "lights like this. β
"Is it related to your ability, the ability to 'rewind time and space'?" Klein was also much more serious, instinctively sorting out clues in his mind that might be related to this matter.
"yes, I'm worried that it's an ancient god or something, maybe even living here." Ace nodded her forehead and smiled wryly.
Klein was stunned for more than ten seconds and didn't speak, this matter was more serious than he had just expected: "Then once he is fully awakeβ"
"I may be the one who has slept for thousands of years." Esther continued.
Klein nodded solemnly: "I know, I'll help you gather information." β
"By the way, do you know of any other places where there are Extraordinary underground gatherings? I can't go to the one where the Aurora Club is going to be held anymore, and Mr. A seems to be able to sense the specialness in me. And I don't know when their location will be revealed, and I'm afraid that after a while, there will be official extraordinaries who will go to encircle and suppress them. β
"Do you have something you need?"
Esther nodded: "Although I have something on hand, I want to prepare some extraordinary weapons, so that next time I am in danger, I will not be helpless." β
This does reveal a little bit about Esther's sequence ability, and she seems to lack the means to confront the enemy head-on, which is why she seems to be worried. Klein thought that of course he would be willing to provide some help to his fellow countrymen, and let Esther choose more suitable items by himself, which would be safer than having him buy them on his behalf.
So in front of Esther, Crane did several coin divinations, and after confirming that this matter would not pose a danger to the old gentleman of the "Eyes of Wisdom", Crane informed Esther about the extraordinary gathering that would be held at the "Brave Bar".
"If it's time...... Keep an eye out for the Beckland Morning Post, and if an advertisement for the acquisition of goods by the Engst firm appears on the fifth page, you can come to me. When the time comes, we'll agree to meet outside that bar the next day, and I'll take you inside. β
"No problem, I'll trouble you then, Mr. Detective."
Klein nodded, and also made up his mind to propose a separate deal with the "Sun" at the Tarot meeting through the dummy of "World", and asked him to inquire about this information in Silver City.
Do you want to pull the fellow to the Tarot Club? Klein struggled for a long time, but he didn't make up his mind, and decided to let this matter go first.
It's not that he's afraid of being reported by his fellow countrymen, Klein believes that Esther trusts him more than the True God Church, but the thought of pretending to be a mysterious ancient god in front of his fellow villagers makes Crane feel a palament in his heart.
It's embarrassing.
It was getting dark, and the two said goodbye quickly, and Esther had to take the subway back to her residence in the East End. After Crane saw her off, he went back to the living room and sat down on the couch, always feeling that he had missed something.
Did I forget something? It seems like...... It has to do with the peculiarity of Esther.
I should have forgotten her a long time ago, but I still remember her.
Crane suddenly broke out in a cold sweat behind his back, and he looked at the teapot on the table that was already cold, and he didn't move for a long time.
Why does he keep remembering Esther?
Unable to ask the people of Tingen for confirmation, Klein had to go back to his room and take four steps backwards to perform divination above the gray mist.
In the results of dream divination, there was nothing but a soft and endless light.
