Chapter 67: The First Clues
"What's wrong, Mr. Professor?" Prince Edsak looked at Crane through the gap in his gorgeous white mask, and said with some confusion. And Panatia, who was sitting quietly on the side, also looked at Klein and naturally showed a sweet smile.
We can't keep looking at each other like this...... Thinking so, Klein coughed lightly twice: "I don't know what to call this student I am about to teach, Your Royal Highness?" ”
"Panna." Edsak nodded slightly, wrapped his hand around her shoulder, and hugged Panatia beside him, "Her name is Panna—don't worry, Professor." I've taught her the necessary etiquette, so you don't have to be inhibited, just get to class. ”
The demon girl has misled the country, His Royal Highness the Prince! Thinking of these witches who were "battle-hardened" in any sense, Klein suddenly couldn't bear to look directly at His Royal Highness the Prince, and even looked at Edsak with a little pity in his eyes.
Did you know that the woman you share a bed with is a "witch...... Your Royal Highness, you have the legacy of Russell the Great! While slandering in his heart what happened to His Royal Highness the Prince, Klein said on the surface: "I understand, then you can start the class now." ”
Prince Edsak nodded, watching Klein take out the lesson plan and start lecturing.
In the course of the lecture, Klein's spirit was tense throughout the whole process, because the "witch" in front of him kept releasing a "charming" aura towards him. Klein even had to use the items left on the gray mist to pry the breath above the gray mist slightly, listening to the somewhat chaotic whispers to stabilize his mind.
During this period of time, Klein tried the method given to him by Professor Gao Wei to pry the power of his "golden finger", and successfully leveraged the power of the gray fog with a high-level item kept by the "Aurora Society" placed by Gao Wei on the gray mist, so that he could "hear" the sound from the gray mist when the spirit was present in his body.
Gao Wei, as a "predecessor of the traverser", "groped" the method that he came up with still brought a lot of help to Klein.
In this state, Crane was able to force his spirit to wake up with stimulation in the midst of painful whispers.
At the end of the day, after receiving his own payment from the butler, Crane followed Talim back into the carriage. Before leaving, Prince Edsak also praised Klein fiercely, saying that the results of his teaching were very professional and effective.
"Well, isn't Miss Panna pretty?" In the carriage, Talim lowered his voice, but his words did not hide his envy for Prince Edsak: "So it is only natural that His Royal Highness will be fascinated by her......"
Of course it's pretty, she's a "witch of despair" after all. If only she weren't a witch...... Ever since I knew that most of the members of the Witch Sect were male-to-female, I couldn't look directly at anyone who dared to ascend to the Witch Cult...... Crane complained in his heart, barely squeezing out a smile to cope with Talim's words.
Suddenly, Klein's ears moved slightly, and he heard the words from the messenger of the high dimension:
After the end of the teaching, I will come to the Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
……
"In that case, you want me to invest 100 gold pounds in your project, do you?" Gao Wei sat in the office of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry, looking at the raunchy man in front of him with the usual indifferent gaze in the starry sky. He looked at Raypard in front of him, and his eyes couldn't help but show some disappointment between his words.
"Your ideas are creative, but Mr. Raypard, creativity and artistry are not something to be eaten." Gao Wei wanted to get away with it, and said in a somewhat caustic and sharp way: "You may need some people to help you with your invention and help you expand your mind - after all, the 'rickshaw' solution you provided us with before has little practical value. ”
"However, I don't have enough money to support my further research and development...... If you want to change it to a solo wheel, you may need to ......" Raypard looked a little nervous, afraid to look at the young man in a fancy costume. Gao Wei saw that the inventor in front of him was in a state of unease, and probably knew that he could close the net.
Gao Wei deliberately waited for two seconds, and then said to Raypad:
"I can give you a chance."
Hearing this, Raypard's eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked at Gao Wei in front of him, a little nervous for a while. And Gao Wei, who was sitting across from him, continued:
"Move your invention in the direction of the solo wheel, and I'll give you two hundred gold pounds for your research. However, in exchange, you need to come up with a workable design and submit it to me within two weeks, and I will let the factory try to make it. After all, with us, the workers' money is not easy to earn. ”
"This ...... Thank you! A look of ecstasy flashed in Raypad's eyes, and he had already reached the point of exhaustion, so he had to find the trustee of the Beckland Technical University, well, it would be renamed Miskatonic University from next Monday.
It is rumored that the school director is the master of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry, and is a gentleman with a good heart. Now it seems that he is indeed a kind person, but he is just a little mean! Raypard thought to himself.
"Hopefully you'll succeed." Gao Wei nodded slightly, shook Raypard's hand in front of him, and watched him leave.
Gao Wei sat back at his desk, drank tea with some comfort, and cut a piece of cake and put it in his mouth. Based on what he had seen, Crane had seen Panatia hanging out with Prince Edsak. Judging by how jealous Klein is of the Witch Sect, he should already be investigating the Witch Sect by now......
……
Well? Why hasn't Klein come over yet?
Gao Wei waited for a long time, but he didn't see Crane's figure, he narrowed his eyes, and let the image of the "Hidden Sage" staring at Crane pass through.
10 minutes ago.
Many cut out newspapers were neatly laid out on the table in front of Klein, and most of them were related to "supernatural" and "extraordinary". Crane instinctively felt that something was wrong with this, because he didn't notice anything suspicious of a "witch" in the various reports.
It's like something deliberately covered up...... Is it the pen that was arranged for the city of Tingen before? Klein touched his chin and squinted at the paper in front of him.
The case of the disappearance of a young girl, the murder of a suspected "demon", the mass death of a worker - no, there seems to be something wrong in the previous murder case that is suspected to be committed by a "demon", and some do not look like "demons" committed crimes.
Crane was thinking carefully, trying to figure out the traces of the "witch". However, the next moment, Klein raised the gun in his hand without hesitation:
"What people!"
Klein was a little creepy to find that there was a graceful figure beside him at some point. Seeing that the muzzle of the gun was pointed at him, the figure smiled lightly and said:
"Hehe, don't you want to find out the traces of the witch's crime?" There's a hint of amusement on Trise's face, and she said to Klein, "Professor Moriarty, do you want to work with me?" ”
“…… Triss? Crane looked at the comer, lowered the muzzle of the gun slightly, and put it away. But he still pinched a match with his own hand, ready to run away at any time. His relationship with Triss isn't so tense right now, and the two of them have worked together for a while at the Aurora Society after all. But Klein was still a little jealous of this "witch" who knew his identity, and said with some vigilance:
"What do you mean?"
However, when it came to this, Triss also felt a little bitter in her heart. She should have known that there would be no gratuitous gifts in the world. The previous quest had confused Triss, who had only thought that the well-paid quests released by the Overlook were not too dangerous - even if there was a certain danger, Triss was willing to take on the Sequence Six potions.
After all, Triss has now completed the digestion of the potion of Sequence 7, and among the conditions prescribed by the "Overlooker" is the hope of Trissy's promotion, and it also intimately comes with the elements of the "Witch of Pleasure".
In order to be able to turn back into a man as soon as possible, Triss felt that she could give it a go.
But when it came time to carry out the mission, it was a little different, and every time Triss approached the prince's manor, she would feel a kind of "coincidence" befall her, as if pushing her into the vortex. Just as she was about to leave the manor, Panatia approached Triss with a smile on her face and slipped a bottle of pink potion into Trissy's hand.
Even now, when she thought of Panadia's words, Triss couldn't help but hate it.
"Why did I give you the potion, you ask? Ah, sister, I believe in you, for you will eventually come back to us. ”
Panatia smiled, as if she had eaten Triss. Triss was silent for a moment, then put away the potion and began to run off skillfully. But because of this, Triss's heart was a little urgent—she felt that she had been caught in a turbulent whirlpool, and now she urgently needed to find a straw to escape.
"I can give you information about Panatia." Triss said to Klein in front of her with some cruelty:
"When I was in the Witch Sect before, I knew some of the abilities of the Witch of Despair, and I could roughly guess what she wanted to do in Beckland. You are extremely ...... We, the Aurora Society, have teamed up with the 'Witch Sect', probably to use Panatia's plan to bring down the 'Lord of Everything'! ”
God descended? Let the "true creator" descend to the gods?! Klein was taken aback. He remembered the tragedy that occurred in the city of Tingen because the real creator had twice prepared for the descent, and he couldn't help but feel bad. Klein secretly pondered the thoughts of Gao Wei and the true Creator, and thought to himself in his heart:
There is no doubt that I, as a "fool", and the "overlooker" disguised as Gao Wei, do have a cooperative relationship with the real Creator. But Gao Wei and I are now both fake "true gods" in disguise, and we are naturally in a weak position in cooperation, and we may be discovered by the real creator at any time.
Perhaps, the premise of the cooperation between Gao Wei and the True Creator is to help the True Creator descend to God? Klein thought so, but then denied his own idea.
But how could he sacrifice so many innocent people for the sake of the true Creator?! This is not something that Gao Wei can do!
Crane suddenly felt a nameless anger rise in his heart, but then he was suppressed by himself. Crane admonished himself to be calm, and at the same time lined up in his mind the rest of the possibilities in this matter:
Maybe Gao Wei is ready to let the true creator god descend without sacrificing others, or maybe Gao Wei is not involved in this matter, but Aurora will cooperate with the witch sect under the oracle of the "true creator", and Gao Wei can't resist as a dependent......
Klein opened his eyes and determined in his heart what to do next, what to do. He reached out and stacked the papers in front of him and placed them neatly on his left hand.
Although Klein thought about it so much, it was actually only a dozen seconds. Triss saw Klein's eyes open, and naturally knew in her heart that he had made a decision. Triss suddenly sneered in her heart:
How could the true Creator choose a person who did not believe in Him as His favorant?
"Well, do you want to work with me?" She looked at Klein and asked knowingly.
After two seconds of silence, Crane said to Triss in a deep voice, "What do you need?" ”
"I want Panatia's life, and the extraordinary properties she left behind after her death." Triss said frankly, "I believe that as a condescendant of the true Creator, you have this ability. I know that his other person is Gao Wei, and that guy's abilities are extremely terrifying, and I don't think yours is bad. ”
"It's simple, I'll help you investigate what the Witch Sect is trying to do. And I need Panatia's traits to help me get promoted. She doesn't die, and I feel uneasy. ”
Triss had just asked the great being in the courtyard, the "Lookdown", if she could change the reward for this mission to "crush" Panatia's extraordinary traits, and received an affirmative answer. Triss was ready to take the "Witch of Pleasure" potion when she returned, and was promoted to Sequence 6.
The thought of becoming a demigod in Sequence 4 and becoming a male made Triss feel motivated. She felt that she could use women to play "Joy" in order to maintain her masculine dignity and a good sense of herself.
It's really ruthless...... Is this the "witch"? It seems that every witch has a lot of grudges! Klein paused, and solemnly said to the witch who had already backstabbed a member of the "Witch Sect":
"Okay."
Goo, today's first shift is completed, see if you can have time for a double shift. I took a look at the daily report of the work, and yesterday I gave a total of 6104 starting coins, 39 monthly tickets, and 226 recommended tickets.
I was a little panicked.
