Chapter 174: Leonard's Reminder
Beckland, North District.
When the red moon was obscured by stratus clouds, it was pitch black everywhere, except for the gas lamps on both sides of the street, which lit up the road ahead and the doorways of nearby houses.
The letter box at 7 Pinster Street is quietly hidden at the junction of light and darkness, bathed in the cool breeze blowing from the side, and seems to have fallen asleep.
At this moment, newspapers, bills, and letters from unknown people suddenly poured out of its delivery port.
These things seemed to be held by an invisible hand, floating in the air, flying towards the doorway, and burrowing through the gap.
Inside, in the foyer, the newspapers unfolded on their own, flipped rapidly until the last page, and then, haphazardly, fell to their chairs, stacked on top of each other before them.
The bills and letters continued to fly inward, entering the living room, the former quickly stopped, shook a few times, and then swayed to the surface of the coffee table, neatly laid out, the latter took off the envelope with an envelope, and quickly opened itself without an envelope, showing a posture in mid-air.
After a while, some of the letters flew to the shelves of the study on the first floor, some rushed to the scissors, helped the other party to tear themselves apart, and then poured into the bathroom and into the toilet in rows.
Crash!
The toilet bowl's mechanical buttons sagged on its own, flushing paper fragments down the drain.
7 Pinster Street was back to normal, as quiet as any other uninhabited house.
Southern Continent, East Bailang, Gulain City.
Not long after arriving here, Leonard Mitchell was resting in the accommodation arranged by the local Night Church.
Suddenly, the slightly old voice in his mind sounded:
"Boy, you have an important letter. ”
"What letter?" Leonard asked in a low voice, already guessing in his mind.
There is only one, no, two who can send an important letter to 7 Pinster Street, but who doesn't care if there is anyone there:
Klein Moretti and Dawn Dantès.
As to why the old man named Parles Zoroaster was able to read the contents of the letters received at 7 Pinster Street clearly across the Tempest Sea, across half of the Northern Continent, Leonard could probably guess a thing or two, because he had helped him catch a ghost.
In this regard, his judgment is:
The old man must have divided a "Time Worm" and parasitized it in the ghost's body, making it his own eyes, ears, and mouth in the Northern Continent.
At this time, Parles Zoroaster answered his question:
"A letter from Klein Moretti, who said that on his way to the Southern Continent, Dantès had spotted Ince Zangwill's traces on the island of Mid-Reaches of the Tempest Sea. ”
Leonard fell silent for a moment, his mouth open, but he couldn't say a word.
After a long time, he whispered in a slightly hoarse voice:
He did not forget his revenge......
"What can I do?"
"What can you do? You're only in Sequence 6, and even if Ince Zangwill doesn't master '0-08', you're not qualified to take revenge on him, he only needs to partially reveal his mythical form to make you lose control or become crazy on the spot. The probability of your successful revenge is 0! This is the qualitative change brought about by divinity. Palles Soroasde said in a rather serious tone.
He paused for a moment, then laughed again:
"Thankfully, you're more aware of yourself than you used to be, and if it had been in the past, you'd have said that I wanted to pass on Ince Zangwill's information to the Church and join the hunt and capture team, and now, you know, ask you what you can do. ”
Leonard tried to refute several times, but he couldn't say anything.
Parles Zoroaster continues:
"All you can do at the moment is to give Klein Moretti some information, wait for him to write back to you, and then cooperate accordingly according to the arrangement inside. ”
"No excuse to inform the Church of Ince Zangwill's whereabouts?" Leonard asked in a low voice, slightly stunned.
Parles Zoroasde laughed:
"Don't rush, wait until the moment of truth to do it.
"'0-08' likes to kill its owner, but it doesn't want to go back to being sealed, as long as you inform the Church of Ince Zangwill's whereabouts and start the corresponding pursuit, it will immediately know about it and make adequate arrangements.
"You need to remind Klein Moretti about that. ”
Leonard was stunned for a second and said:
"Old man, you seem to be familiar with '0-08'. ”
Haven't shown it before!
Pales's slightly old voice laughed:
"Of course, I'm familiar with it, in the Quaternary period, '0-08' caused the fall of angels.
"I can't say too much to you, because, if you know it, it knows you, and the more you know it, the more likely you are to be a part of the story. ”
From the old man's vague words, Leonard really tasted the horror of "0-08", which was beyond the occultism he could understand!
After thinking for a moment, Leonard habitually asked:
"So how do I tell Klein Moretti but not be known by '0-08', or, even if it does, it is a superficial understanding, and only let me be a passerby in the story......"
Before the words fell, Leonard clenched his hands, gritted his teeth, and without waiting for the old man to answer, he said to himself:
"Tell him that I'm not going to pass on Ince Zangwill's whereabouts to the church for the time being...... I think he should be able to understand that there is something wrong with this, that we must be more cautious than cautious, and even if he can't decipher it, his secret organization has members who know enough about the Quaternary to help.
"Also, write normally, 'You know it, it knows you,' without mentioning '0-08,' and use personal pronouns to allow Klein to guess exactly what it is pointing to......"
Parles Zoroaster listened quietly and laughed in a low voice:
"People, you have to be under pressure to grow. ”
Leonard exhaled, rolled over and sat up, retrieved a pen and paper, and put the meaning on the letter.
Immediately afterward, he set up a ritual and summoned the messenger of Gelman Sparrow.
............
Storm Sea, Mid-Range Island, stop at a passenger ship at the pier.
Many tourists did not disembark and curled up in the cabins on the ground floor, waiting to arrive on the southern continent and start a promising new life.
- Even with only a few days' worth of fare for the boat, they were very difficult to piece together, belonging to the people of Rune who were forced to take such a risk.
Unlike them, Crane, who plays the role of the rich Dawn Dantès, lives in a spacious and clean first-class cabin, and by the light of a candle, opens the letter that Renette Tinicol has just delivered.
"The Church will not be informed of Ince Zangwill's whereabouts for the time being...... For Leonard, although the question of the source of information will put him at a certain risk, it is not at all impossible to do so...... Isn't he joining the 'Red Glove' just for revenge?, that is, he has a reason why he can't report Ince Zangwill now......" Crane thought as he looked at the rest of the letter, "You know it, and it knows you." ”
Suddenly, Klein let out a "huh", feeling that such a description was a little familiar!
"It's like the Dusk Hermit, where everything is said, it will be known...... So, '0-08' is a seal on the audience's path? Leonard didn't tell the church about it, because he had scruples about it, and wanted to wait for a better opportunity? This should be what the old man inside him told him......" Crane nodded thoughtfully, a little glad he hadn't asked Renette Tinicol for help before.
This is also very dangerous for Miss Courier.
"And, most importantly, I haven't prepared anything yet, and if I only rely on the helpers I have invited, the plan is likely to be detected by '0-08' in advance, so as to create a series of coincidences and make targeted arrangements......" Crane sighed silently, feeling that he should do something, but he didn't know where to start.
From the perspective of improving one's own strength, the acquisition of the corresponding materials of the trickery demon and the spirit marauder depends on the follow-up request of the chief of Silver City, and on how long Miss "Magician" can get the location information of the specific location from her teacher, which is all an external force, and it is not something that Klein can speed up if he wants to.
The only thing he could do was to digest the "Master of Secret Puppets" potion as soon as possible.
And after the "rules of play" are almost complete, the actual operation is more important.
So, Klein thinks it's necessary for him to get two secret mates in a short period of time!
He had been dragging it out before, because he didn't have a good target, because he was in Beckland, surrounded by a group of servants, non-special secret couples, it was difficult to cover up his existence, and now, he was about to arrive in the Southern Continent, he decided that no matter what, as long as he was sure that it was a villain enough to go to the gallows, he would first transform into his secret puppet, and replace it if he had a better target!
Maybe you can use ordinary secret puppets to complete more difficult things, and you can also speed up digestion...... Oh, my requirements for secret couples are now minimized, as long as I understand all the words, then there is no need to find another translator, anyway, we can share the senses...... Klein quickly made the decision that he planned to write to Leonard Mitchell when he had further plans.
............
East Bailang, the city of Gulain.
Crane carried his suitcase, boarded the docks, and landed on the land of the Southern Continent.
He looked at the layered urban area built against the mountain, and silently said in his heart:
"When you leave here, you have to have two secret couples. ”
And before that, he has one more thing to do, and that is to get rid of the secret "followers" arranged by the military.
The espionage skills of those two gentlemen are actually quite good, but in Crane's eyes, they are as vivid as fireflies in the night, because no matter how disguised they are, Crane can recognize them at a glance with the help of the "Facelings'" ability to observe and remember the physical characteristics and facial characteristics of human beings.
