Chapter 143: The Mummy (Thanks to the Loyal Servant Wangcai for Rewarding the Silver Alliance)
At 7 Pinster Street, Leonard Mitchell walked over to his desk and spread out the letterhead.
He then picked up the absorbent pen with a round belly, sank his wrist, and prepared to write.
However, as soon as he made a small dark blue dot, the pen stopped, and his wrist tried to move several times, but it was calm again.
Raising his wrist and lowering his pen, Leonard repeated the same action over and over again, and finally, his wrist froze in midair.
Leonard dropped his pen, crumpled the letterhead, and threw it accurately into the trash can at the foot of the table.
............
At 160 Berlund Street, Crane took the thin letter from one of the heads of Miss Messenger Renette Tinnicol.
He weighed his weight until his spiritual instincts didn't warn him, then he opened the seal and removed the paper inside.
The paper was only one page, and on it were two lines of words written in Juanxiu's notes:
"I have something I would like to see your help with and interview for details. ”
"Sharon"
It turned out to be Miss Sharon's letter...... Crane solved his doubts, took out a gold coin and made a simple divination in front of Renette Tinicol, and then drew another piece of letter paper and wrote a word:
"Tonight. ”
He folded the paper and asked as he handed it to the messenger:
"Can you still locate the sender?"
If not, he will give Sharon's address:
126 Gard Street, Hilston Borough, Mary Asia Pacific.
"Yes......" Renette Tinicol replied with one of her blonde red-eyed heads.
She then opened her mouth and bit down on the folded letterhead.
When Miss Courier vanished from the room, Crane set up a ritual to bring the "wriggling hunger" back to the real world from the gray fog, and then "travel" to the archipelago in search of the lucky pirate.
- "Wriggling Hunger" has not yet been sealed, and still has to eat one person a day, Crane can only barely use it, and every time he needs to bring it out and feed it, he will throw it back into the gray mist when the time is almost there, and he will not make up the difference in the middle anyway.
"If the 'wriggling hunger' dares to make trouble, feed it mushrooms!" Klein, who had finished the ceremony and cleaned up the scene, put on the thin human skin gloves, and his figure quickly faded into transparency and disappeared in place.
............
After dinner, and when the "wriggling hunger" had finished "howling" above the gray mist, Crane excused himself to an upset stomach, went into the bathroom, took it out again, and "teleported" to the outside of the "Valorant's Bar" in the Beckland Bridge area.
In the process, he has naturally changed his appearance, becoming the black-haired, brown-eyed, bearded, bespectacled detective Sherlock Moriarty.
Bending over and pulling up his trousers, Crane laughed to himself, pulled down the brim of his hat, pushed open the heavy wooden door, and entered the bar.
After asking the bartender, he grabbed a glass of Southwell beer, went outside the third billiard room, and tapped his fingers on the locked door.
Knock, knock, knock...... In a rhythmic voice, the door creaked and cracked.
The red-eyed Ian looked at it and immediately smiled:
"Sir, please come in. ”
As the weather was getting hotter, he stopped wearing the old coat and simply put on a linen shirt.
Klein smiled and nodded, and entered the billiard room in a flash, and quickly took in all the scenes inside:
Marić, with a little messy hair, wearing a white shirt, black waistcoat and black pants, was holding a long pole and bent over there to play billiards.
Perhaps impressed by the chaos caused by Sherlock Moriarty, he did not gather his own living corpse to play cards this time.
"Long time no see. Klein took the initiative to say hello.
At the same time, Sharon, wearing a small black floppy hat and a court dress of the same color, appeared on the other side of the table, sitting quietly on the barstool.
"Good evening, ma'am. Crane looked away and smiled and saluted.
Sharon stood up in a huff, lifted the hem of her skirt, bowed slightly, and responded politely, while Marić put down his club and said in a low and slightly hoarse voice:
"Looks like you're still stuck in Beckland. ”
His face was still so pale, but the malice hidden in his brown eyes had faded a lot, and it seemed that the restraint during this time was quite effective.
It can be seen that the acquisition of the "Crimson Moon Crown" has allowed him not to have to collapse every time the moon is full, and even the sedatives have to be replaced with new varieties frequently.
Crane didn't respond positively to Marić's words, walked to the table, put down his beer glass, and smiled:
"I'm sorry, I could have sold you a copy of the extraordinary properties of 'Wraith', but unfortunately it was lost. ”
Sharon's blue eyes didn't move, and she didn't ask for the reason, but simply asked:
"Are you alright?"
She knew that the extraordinary trait of "Resentful Spirit" in Sherlock Moriarty's mouth belonged to the "Blood General" Seigor, and the "Blood General" was Sherlock Moriarty's secret puppet, and the disappearance of the extraordinary characteristics of the "Resentful Spirit" also meant the destruction and loss of the secret puppet, which was not a trivial matter for the corresponding extraordinary.
"Thankfully, at least I wasn't hurt. Crane sighed and laughed.
"No wonder I didn't see Señol this time......" Marić whispered abruptly.
Neither Marić nor Miss Sharon paid much attention to the extraordinary trait of the "Wraith"...... Do they have another channel, or a way? Klein keenly grasped the situation, and asked instead:
"What's going on this time?"
Marić immediately glanced at Ian, and the calm young man, who could still be called a big boy, didn't ask much, quickly exited the billiard room, and closed the door casually.
Sharon's puppet-like face floated without expression, and Marić said:
"The day after tomorrow, a ship from the southern continent will arrive in the port of Prieze, which has a close relationship with the Rune military.
"The ship was loaded with treasures and artifacts plundered from the Star Plateau, the Pas Valley, and the Hagati steppes, including a mummy, which was the nineteenth king of the ancient Highland kingdom, Tutansis II.
"The original language of the Southern Continent did not originate from the ancient Phrsak language, it has its own structure, in the ancient High language, the king is also called 'Kadf', which is an exclusive word, translated by Russell the Great as 'pharaoh', I don't know what he thinks, and 'mummy' is also named by him, in short, 'pharaoh' means the son of the gods, the king of mankind.
"Tutansis II used to be a high-ranking powerhouse, however, after his death, the corresponding characteristics have been recovered, and only the body remains, which has been made into a mummy.
"To other extraordinary, this is a spiritual material, an excellent object for making a living corpse, but for us it has an additional meaning, a very important significance, and our goal this time is to obtain the mummy of Tutansis II. ”
What additional meaning does the corpse of a high-sequence powerhouse without extraordinary characteristics have any additional meaning besides being used as a material? Klein's heart moved, and Huo Ran thought of the behavior of the "hermit" lady begging for a drop of the blood of a mythical creature.
Could it be that the ritual of Sequence 5 "Wraith" to Sequence 4 "Puppet" is needed? Miss Sharon already has the recipe and has digested the "Wraith" potion? Judging from her usual life, she is simply playing the role of "Wraith" all the time, maybe she has already digested it...... However, the words of the evil spirit in the underground ruins before seemed to indicate that Miss Sharon did not have a "puppet" potion recipe at that time, well, everyone has their own circle, and it is not too strange that Miss Sharon has a way to get it...... Crane glanced at Sharon thoughtfully, but didn't notice any significant change in her from before, still like a puppet better than a living person, but there was no sign of any more gloomy appearance.
Sharon sat quietly, watching Sherlock Moriarty and Marić intently, listening to their conversation.
"If it's just a high-sequence mummy without extraordinary characteristics, the level of protection won't be too high, and even if it's just the two of you, it shouldn't be too difficult to steal. Klein pondered and asked.
In his opinion, Sequence 5 can already be called a quasi-strong, unless the ship is guarded by a demigod, otherwise in the case that Miss Sharon's target is only a mummy, it is difficult for the same level to effectively stop it, after all, there are too many important items that the extraordinary people in charge need to protect, and they may also be scattered in different cabins due to different preservation methods.
This time, it was Sharon who gave the explanation, and she said so succinctly:
"Worry is a trap that the Rose School has come to us.
"If not, 1,000 pounds, if there is, we'll take care of attracting attention, and you take the mummy, which varies depending on the danger, from 5,000 pounds to 10,000 pounds. ”
That's right...... Crane didn't respond immediately, thought for a moment, and asked instead:
"Do you know about Spirit Marauders?"
"Wraiths" are also a class of extraordinary beings who can effectively move in the spirit world.
Sharon nodded slightly:
"I can be rewarded with gold pounds combined with information about the Spiritual Marauders. ”
Klein gave an "um":
"I'll think about it and write back to you before the wee hours of the morning. ”
As a good "soothsayer", he had to go above the gray fog to determine the danger level no matter what, but he was now certain that it was definitely not a trap for him, as he didn't have any need for mummies.
"Good. Sharon said with the same expression.
Crane didn't say goodbye directly, walked to the door, beckoned Ian in, and asked casually:
"What's the news of the last note?"
Ian thought for a moment and said one relatively important news after another:
“...... Someone is asking about organizations that believe in 'fools'......"
Klein smiled a little stunned:
"A young man with black hair and green eyes?"
He suspected it was Leonard Mitchell.
Ian shook his head:
"No, black hair and black eyes. ”
Which gentleman from the Aurora Society?Klein thought for a moment and said:
"Can you draw it?"
"......," Ian said after a second of pause, laughing at himself, "Then you'll probably never recognize who he really is." ”
At this time, Sharon spoke:
"I can help you. ”
"Okay. Ian breathed a sigh of relief, and then immediately did as he was told, preparing a fairly simple ritual.
Then, he completed a sketch with trembling and twitching in the possession of the "resentful spirit":
It was a young man with slightly curly black hair, a broad forehead, thin cheeks, dark eyes, and monocles.
Amon!
"Blasphemer" Amon!
