Chapter 103: The Fool: A full 30,000 bounty!
Klein is figuring out how to deal with "Rosago" when Lady Owl reappears.
"What's the matter?"
He muttered.
Fortunately, this time, Nina just threw down a letter and left.
Klein breathed a sigh of relief.
He opened the envelope and glanced at the letter.
"Are there any indulgent factions in the Southern District who are suspected of being the Rose School, are you interested in dealing with them together?"
Not interested.
I'm just thinking about how to get rid of Rosago right now.
Klein continued to look down, then began to seriously think about the feasibility of this matter, took the initiative to put himself in danger, and then asked Mr. Azik to hunt them down......
Crazy idea!
But what if it rolls over?
Mr. Azik will certainly be fine, but neither of them will be.
Crane continued to look down, and his brow was immediately overjoyed.
"As far as I know, the Rose School is divided into 'Indulgence' and 'Temperance', and these people are crazy about killing people in the Southern District, so they should belong to the Indulgence faction."
"They must have come to the Temperance Sect."
"The Rose School holds the 'prisoner' pathway, and according to the knowledge instilled by the Hidden Sage, from Sequence 9 to Sequence 6 are prisoners, madmen, werewolves, and living corpses, ......respectively."
"If you know their whereabouts, we may be able to use the power of the temperance faction to deal with this group of people together, and even get a certain amount of reward."
Good news!
Praise be to the Hidden Sage, who has instilled knowledge that has helped a lot!
Klein figured it out in an instant.
Marić.
The Extraordinary One at the Bar of the Brave, his path should be through living corpses, and those corpses who are alive to play cards with him are the best examples.
"The hidden living corpse, he must be a member of the temperance faction, but if I go directly to the door, maybe the other party will mistakenly think that I am provoking or blackmailing......"
Klein thought for a moment, and immediately had an idea.
Now in terms of security, he can call Nina, Azk's messenger and other helpers, and he has a lot of means at hand.
And.
Ambassador Intis has to deal with the officials recently, and he should not send a Sequence 5 powerhouse for the time being.
It should be safe to go out today!
Crane rose into the gray mist, repeated divination, and after making sure that it was safe for him to leave and go to the Brave Bar, he decisively went out to the Brave Bar.
Riding the bus to the East End, he got off the bus and entered the Brave Bar.
Caspars looked up.
"If you're here to find a bodyguard, unfortunately, Marich won't take it, and I don't have anyone else on my side who can help you."
"I'm here for help from the rest, not bodyguards."
Klein explained.
On the way, he has temporarily handed over the bronze whistle to Nina for safekeeping, so that Marić's living corpses will not riot.
Caspars nodded: "He's playing cards." ”
"Okay."
Klein walked straight to the card room.
After opening the door and entering, Marić turned his head, his eyes full of malice.
The rest of the living corpses also came to see it.
"As I said, your task is priceless, and I won't take it," Marić said. ”
"No, I'm not here to ask for bodyguards, but to get a piece of information from you."
"There's been a lot of homicides on the South side lately, and I have a friend there, and the bodies of the dead are miserable......
Klein describes the situation of the murder.
According to Roy's speculation, it was the result of the indulgences in their search for the "temperance", so he described it in as much detail as possible.
The malice in Marić's eyes grew stronger.
Finally.
He couldn't help but bang his fist on the table.
But soon, he took a few deep breaths.
"They're in the Southside?"
"Yes."
Klein nodded, "My friend asked me about their abilities, and I thought about it, and the strongest person I know is you." ”
We don't know.
Marić sat down in his chair, lost in thought, and after a moment he said, "They are members of the indulgent sect of the Rose School. ”
"Indulgence?"
Klein pretended to be puzzled, as if he had heard the term for the first time.
Marić was silent for a moment.
Then, he said, "You already know, how do you want to cooperate?" ”
Spotted?
Crane frowned, but there was no one else around but Marić and the living corpses.
Does Marić have such an insight?
He felt like he must have overlooked something.
The Extraordinaire of the Higher Order of the Temperanceists?
Sequence 6 is a living corpse, and the higher sequences of the Extraordinary may be even more bizarre and terrifying, and it is not impossible for them to be unable to capture it with their own naked eyes and spiritual vision.
Crane looked around, then said, "Let's join forces against them, divide the spoils evenly, and then you guys will help us deal with a Sequence 5 Extraordinary." ”
Marić was silent again for a moment.
After a few seconds, he nodded: "Okay, we'll all make a move, but in exchange, the spoils of the enemy on your side will also have to be divided equally." ”
"Yes."
Klein nodded.
Closing a deal would be the best outcome, so that you don't even have to ask Mr. Azik to do it, or you can just ask Mr. Azik to help kill Ambassador Intis.
No one would associate Ambassador Intis's death with their own detective.
"Do you have any of these materials here?"
"Partially."
……
"It's finished."
Roy breathed a sigh of relief.
Not only that, but Crane also bought some of the spellcasting materials, which were not materials for the Storm Path, but they were quite good.
"Some of the materials related to the storm path can be purchased from the hanged man, and he will definitely have some."
"The Fool's Express is faster than the Fool himself."
"But Klein also marked that I was asked to help collect the 'Elven Spring's Marrow Crystals', well, that's probably one of the important reasons why he dragged me to the Tarot Society."
……
Early the next morning.
Tilly comes to visit early.
"Mr. Green, it seems that those people have started to operate in Yuejihua Street, and last night I heard that they attacked someone on the street, but I don't know how they failed."
"I met with them last night."
Roy replied.
Tilly's big eyes, which were already dripping, suddenly widened, revealing a look of shock and worry in her eyes.
"You're not hurt, are you?"
"No, but they're dangerous, at least two or more people, so don't move around lately, and if you don't have a place to live, you can come to my side."
Roy glanced at her, "I'll be fine in a few days to find someone to get rid of them." ”
"Solution, solve it?"
Tilly froze for a few seconds.
Such a group of murderers, Mr. actually has a way to solve it......
It's so powerful!
She realized once again what an opportunity she had climbed.
"How's it going?"
"Basically, the next thing is the question of proficiency, that is, there is a point, you said let me be a real soothsayer."
Tilly hesitated for a moment, a look of shame on her face, "Wouldn't it be easier to help others with divination and tell them where it is better to steal?" ”
Roy was stunned for a second.
Then, he said dumbly: "Of course it is, everyone's role is different, so the rules of playing are not the same, which is why I didn't tell you directly." ”
"If it goes well, generally speaking, within a month, you will be able to completely digest the potion of Sequence 9, but I will not help you with the recipe and materials of the potion of Sequence 8."
Roy said bluntly.
Tilly bowed, "I understand, sir, I'll try to make money." ”
"Don't go too far, stealing is not a good thing after all, you instruct them to steal, in case you steal from the big guys, you will all be unlucky."
Roy said lightly, "It's better to use the start-up capital I gave you to gather people to think of a serious business." ”
If it's a scattered thief, no one will deliberately gather people to deal with them.
It is a waste of manpower and material resources if it is not profitable.
However.
If it were a group of thieves uniting together, the Superintendents of the West Villas Field would not be able to sit still.
"Yes, sir."
Tilly answered, ready to leave, but when she turned around, she hesitated for a moment, then turned back and asked, "Sir, can I sell the news to someone else?" ”
"It's okay if it's not very important, but the important ones need my permission, for example, if you have news about the extraordinary, you must tell me first."
"I see."
Tilly thought for a moment.
……
2:50 p.m.
Roy stayed in his room for a long time, waiting for the Tarot to arrive.
After a moment, a crimson glow covered his vision.
In the next moment, the bronze hall appeared in front of him.
Roy looked up.
It's still justice, the sun, and the hanged man.
Mr. Fool didn't add anyone this week.
"Dear Mr. Fool, I have collected 3 pages of Russell's diary this time."
"I have to thank you for your help, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to get accurate and timely information about Ziringus from Mr. Hermit."
"These diaries are what I should be paid for."
"Justice," said Miss Justice.
Roy didn't look up, and the uncontrollable Eye of Voyeurism would be in the same trouble as the monster path in the early stage.
Otherwise, this wave can eat big melons.
He sighed regretfully.
At this point, the fool spoke, with an indifferent chuckle in his tone, as if he didn't care, and did it easily.
"This is the principle of equivalent exchange."
Everyone was amazed in their hearts——
Roy marveled at the "Fool" who could act, and he didn't know what the rest of the people thought.
The upside-down hangman also respectfully saluted Mr. Fool: "Mr. Fool, I got the diary I promised before, but my memory limit is six, please allow me to continue to provide it next time." ”
"No problem."
The Fool took nine pages of his diary.
There was silence in the great hall.
After a long time, there was a low chuckle from above.
Then, a voice came from above.
"Russell mentions in his diary some obscured history and simple common sense, the latter of which reminds me of something that I don't seem to have told you."
"Mr. 'Fool', what common sense did Russell the Great mention? I can pay you in exchange for this news. ”
"Justice" spoke immediately.
Roy glanced at Miss "Justice".
is worthy of being a rich woman who supports the Tarot Club, and she really pays for something, unlike herself......
If the fool really collects money, he will definitely choose not to listen.
"No, it's all simple common sense."
"Seeing this part of the diary, as the convener of the Tarot Society, I think it is inevitable that you will all know, of course, I know very well that some of you have already mastered it."
"Justice" did not dare to observe.
But.
She had a vague feeling that Mr. Fool might be referring to Mr. "Hermit" and Mr. "Sun".
As for Mr. "Hanged Man"......
He probably won't.
Because the last time Mr. Fool announced the common sense of "playing the law", he was as shocked as himself, which shows that although he is erudite and intelligent, he does not know much about this kind of common sense.
"Justice" thought secretly.
Pity......
This time she guessed wrong.
About the "law of immortality of extraordinary characteristics", the "upside-down hangman" is clearly known.
Mr. Fool didn't say it directly.
Maybe, maybe—
I don't know, maybe it's only Miss "Justice".
The fool brewed for a moment and told about the "law of immortality of extraordinary characteristics".
And then.
"The second common sense, the law of conservation of extraordinary properties within similar sequences."
Obviously, there are a lot of people who don't know about this one.
The "hanged man" couldn't help but ask.
Thereupon.
"What do you have to pay to get answers?"
Klein chuckled.
That's what Mr. Hermit does, partly for free, but for a fee to explain.
After all, the part that needs to be explained usually involves very secret knowledge.
They tend to be extremely valuable.
The "upside-down hangman" immediately in-depth inquiry and began to consult.
The rest of the people joined in the inquiry.
Roy is no exception -
If it was just the law of immortality, he wouldn't choose to exchange, because Klein knew full well that he already understood the law.
But.
The latter will not work.
This was not the knowledge he was supposed to be involved with, and it was unlikely that the Hidden Sage would have informed the Voyeur of such secret knowledge.
Even in the mouth of a fool, it is "common sense".
"Mr. Fool, what is the price of the exchange?"
Roy asked bluntly.
"Esoteric Order-related information."
The fool smiled lightly, looked around, and confirmed that everyone was willing to participate, and he spoke directly, "The so-called similar sequences refer to several ways that can be replaced with each other in the higher sequence. ”
"For example, the sequence 5 of the 'Grim Reaper' path, 'The Gatekeeper'......"
Perhaps the explanation is the same as before.
The three paths of Death, Warrior, and Darkness are interchangeable in the high sequence and will not fall into madness.
The same goes for many more.
Roy is confident that he knows more than the "Fool", but the necessary respect is the rule of staying in the Tarot Society for a long time.
He worked hard to hone his acting skills.
"Mr. Fool, I wonder what extraordinary avenues the 'audience' can be interchangeable with in the high sequence?"
"I can pay ......"
Miss "Justice" tries to convince the fool to exchange the "golden pound" for information, but is ruthlessly refused.
Roy didn't speak.
He knew—
At next week's study meeting, I might be able to get a new diary.
Yes, from Klein.
Gold pounds.
What a seductive word!
Now Klein probably wants to agree, but unfortunately the person of the fool does not allow him to agree, and he does not have enough information to pay for "justice".
The Fool's Diary Time is over.
Roy smiled lightly, "Congratulations on the hanged man, Ziringus is dead, in a way you can see." ”
The "Hanged Man" was shocked in his heart, and pondered the meaning of the phrase "Hermit".
He smiled stiffly, "Yes, thank you and your elders, but I've been in Beckland recently, and I can't gather knowledge about the Artisan Sequence. ”
"It's okay, I can wait."
"Congratulations to you, Mr. Hermit, according to the previous promise, I will help you collect the bounty, and all the bounties of Ziringus add up to a total of 30,000 gold pounds."
And some were given to me by Duke Negan.
It doesn't count.
Audrey said in her heart.
Roy smiled and nodded, "Thank you, Miss Justice, you are an honest and beautiful young lady." ”
Audrey responded with a smile.
The fool above also tried to keep a proper smile—
Even if he knew the rest of the people couldn't see it.
However.
He was afraid that he would not be able to hold back.
Not 10,000, but 30,000 gold pounds!
Klein deeply understands what it means to cut the heart.
Roy smiled: "Although your honesty is very touching, I still want to say that it is necessary to pay the agent to pay, so you can get 5,000 pounds, I hope you don't refuse." ”
"Yes, Mr. Hermit, thank you for the payment."
Audrey smiled happily.
"As Mr. Fool said, this is the principle of equivalent exchange."
Roy smiled and turned around, saluting the Fool.
The fool chuckled.
But.
What his specific mood was, Roy didn't know, and he didn't dare to speculate.
The next moment, he said, "Mr. Fool, thank you for your help as well, I would not have had this opportunity without you providing a platform like the Tarot Society." ”
"Originally, I thought it would be inappropriate to repay you with gold pounds, but Miss Justice reminded me."
Roy said respectfully, "You don't need it, but your followers may need it, so I'm still bold enough to ask...... I hope to sacrifice 5,000 pounds to you. ”
There was a moment of silence on the top.
Klein was a little shocked, but he didn't expect that he would be able to get a share of the money at the tarot meeting.
He suppressed his emotions, tried to calm himself, and chuckled, "Yes." ”
The "upside-down hangman" felt a burst of envy in his heart.
But.
He clearly knew that if it weren't for the elders of the "Hermit", he wouldn't have been able to kill Zilingers at all, and if Zilingus was caught by the substitute punisher, the result he couldn't imagine.
"Mr. Hermit, although I can receive so many bounties, due to financial control, I can't take out so much in a short period of time."
"It's okay, just give it slowly."
Roy said with a smile.
Audrey saluted, "Thank you, Mr. Hermit. ”
Later, Roy said, "In addition, I want to buy these materials." ”
He simply embodied two pieces of paper.
One has several main materials, and the other has various spellcasting materials.
"Sun" frowned and did not speak immediately.
Roy was slightly disappointed.
What he was looking forward to most was Derrick.
If Silver City doesn't have it, then this main material will be difficult to get by.
The "hanged man" was silent for a long time.
He was wondering if this was a temptation thrown by the "hermit" -
Perhaps the other party has already guessed the identity of his belonging.
He hesitated for a long time, gritted his teeth, and said, "I can try to collect these materials." ”
"Thank you, Mr. Hangman."
"I'll also help to see if there are any of these materials."
Audrey looked at it a few times.
Roy nodded: "If there is, it can be deducted from the bounty." ”
"I'm not sure if it's the bark of the Sage Tree...... It may not be called that in our case. ”
At this moment, the little sun finally spoke.
