Chapter 52 Establishing Connections

Qonas Kilgor, with deep blue eyes and black hair, which is rare for high-level people, walked up to Dwayne Dantès with a glass of champagne, and said with a slight smile:

"You're lucky today, and full of courage."

If it means that the next hand after receiving the "bribe" is often folded directly, preferring to lose the blind, then it is not luck, but knowledge... As for other times, when I play a game with you, I will almost " Winner" Enyuni's accumulated luck in the past few days has been used up... Klein shook the glass of light gin in his hand, sighed and smiled:

"For a guy who doesn't care about the outcome, of course there's nothing to be afraid of.

"Hehe, praise the goddess!"

He was expressing in a Ruen-style implicit way that he mainly came here to lose money today. Too much luck is the blessing of the gods, and has nothing to do with him.

Quinas didn't lose much tonight, only one or two hundred pounds. Although this is quite a lot compared to his apparent salary, for a major general and deputy director of MI9, the hidden demigod For him, salary is only the most insignificant part of his income, so he didn't care, shook his head with a smile and said:

"Human beings are always unable to see through the arrangements of fate.

"You are an interesting person, it was a pleasure meeting you."

His last sentence was half praise and half polite, which meant the conversation was over.

However, Klein "performed" all night in order to get to know this demigod of the "Dark Emperor" pathway. How could he give up on this? He first responded "I'm glad to meet you too", and then asked for advice in a seemingly casual manner. road:

"Your Excellency Major General, do you know anything about manors in the suburbs of Backlund? It would be best to have a forest where you can hunt."

According to the information Klein obtained from Miss Justice, the deputy chief of major general Qonas Kilgor doesn’t know whether it’s because of his personality or his special position, he doesn’t like to hold various banquets and dances at his home. , Sharon, and rarely accept invitations in this regard.

His hobbies are very simple. One is that he likes to smoke cigars, especially the "Chief Cigar" produced in the East Balam Mikont area-this is recognized as the best cigar in the world; the other is that he likes to play cards, mainly in Texas; It is a hunting hobby. In autumn and winter, it often goes to the outskirts of Backlund, and even Ahowa County, East Chester County and other places to hunt.

Originally, Klein planned to buy the manor just to spend money to integrate into the high society. He hadn't considered this aspect yet. After meeting Qonas Kilgor today,

I temporarily added the corresponding requirements, hoping to arouse the interest of the other party. At that time, maybe I can invite the deputy director of MI9 to go hunting in the countryside, enjoy a happy weekend, and look for opportunities to do it.

Qonas Kilgor took a sip of champagne, thought for a while and said:

"Let me help you pay attention. If there is a suitable one, I will send someone there. Go, is it Boklund Street? Well, go there and tell you."

"Thank you very much." Klein responded sincerely.

At the same time, he felt sorry for Richardson, the former personal servant who had just become a housekeeper's assistant. This young man who is eager to make progress has been going out early and returning late recently to collect information on the manor outside Backlund for his employer. Meet the requirements, which ones have the intention of selling, and do a field survey one by one, so that there is no problem with every option submitted in the end, so that the employer can’t let the employer take a fancy to which one from the information, and send someone to ask, only to find that others don’t want to sell at all. , or the actual situation is very different from the description in the data.

After Klein temporarily adjusted the requirements, all the work Richardson had done before would undoubtedly have to be overthrown and restarted.

Evil Party A...Well, after finishing this matter, let Tanya give him an annual salary increase of 5 pounds. Of course, the butler's assistant will earn a little more than when he was a personal servant... 5 pounds, in today's event In a game of poker, one or two raises are enough... With Richardson's annual salary, he can only play a few hands... Klein sighed silently, and suddenly felt that someone was looking at him.

He looked back at the past without concealing it, and found that it was Admiral Amyrius Leavitt who was looking at him.

This old-fashioned and serious middle-aged man nodded lightly, looked away, and had no intention of communicating with Dwayne Dantès, nor did he call for someone to capture the wild Extraordinary. After all, he was a partner of the military. It is not uncommon for a businessman and adventurer with extensive contacts in the Southern Continent to accidentally obtain potions.

At this moment, Colonel Calvin and Councilor Macht walked towards Dawn Dantès with wine glasses in their hands.

"How could this be?" Calvin lowered his voice and asked rather helplessly.

Since Dwayne Dantès won nearly 1,000 pounds, in order not to let Admiral Amyrius lose money, he and Councilor Macht had no choice but to change their strategies from being cautious to unrestrained, and each lost several hundred pounds. Quite heartache.

In this way, plus other people's losses, Admiral Amyrius won two to three hundred pounds in the end.

Regarding this, Klein spread his hands:

"I didn't even look at the hole cards!"

His implication is that this is purely the favor of the gods in the realm of destiny.

So far, gods, angels and "hidden beings" who have authority in the field of destiny include but are not limited to "Evernight Goddess", "The Fool", "Mercury Snake" Will Auceptin, Pallez Solo Astor, "The Blasphemer" Amon, and "Angel of Destiny" Ouroreus.

"This is really a distressing thing." Councilor Macht smiled bitterly and shook his head. "Both Calvin and I were too defeated to go home."

They lost almost half of their apparent annual income.

Dawn Dantès with gray sideburns showed a surprised look when he heard the words:

"When did you lose?"

He then pointed to the stacked chips in front of his position and said:

"I just managed to keep the 1,000 pounds I bought at the beginning, and the rest is yours."

Colonel Calvin and Councilor Macht were taken aback for a moment, looked at each other, and smiled one after another.

"It's because we played too nervously and miscalculated." Calvin nodded approvingly.

Klein laughed, changed the subject immediately, and searched for the supper that was placed on the coffee table next to him.

…………

City of Silver, inside the round tower of one of the twin towers.

Derrick Berg met Colin Iliad, the chief of the "Six-member Council" through a teleportation.

"You said you have something to ask?" Colin, who had many old scars on his face, looked at the not-so-tall boy opposite him, and asked calmly.

Derrick saluted and responded frankly:

"Yes, Chief Your Excellency, I need to be in pure darkness to be promoted to 'Priest of Light', but once I enter the darkness, it will be very dangerous. I don't know how to solve this problem."

Colin Iliad listened carefully, nodded and said:

"You need to confirm one thing, is it pure darkness, or darkness without light? There is a big difference between these two concepts.

"If it's the latter, you can get it in the dungeon at the bottom of the round tower. You've been there for a while, and you should know what I'm talking about."

Derrick had a deep fear of the dungeon at the bottom of the round tower, because he met Amon the "blasphemer" there for the first time. Not only did he see the mutated former captain of the exploration team, but he was also parasitized. I don't want to think about it.

At this time, after being reminded by the chief, he slowly mobilized the corresponding memory, and found that at the bottom of the round tower, although each cell would distribute candles, once they were burned out, they could only wait for the guards to bring them food and potions. ——This is not frequent, only three times a day, with long intervals in between.

But in such an environment, phenomena such as monsters emerging and humans disappearing out of thin air have never appeared.

Derrick remembered that there was a time when he guarded the lightless darkness without encountering any danger.

After thinking for a while, he hesitated and said:

"In the lightless darkness at the bottom of the round tower, is there extra power mixed in?"

Is it this power that resists the dark's tendency to make people disappear and breed monsters?

Colin Iliad glanced at the two straight swords crossed on the wall, nodded slightly, and sighed:

"Yes, so it's called lightless darkness, not pure darkness."

Derrick frowned a little bit, as if he was thinking about something.

After a few seconds, he said uncertainly:

"If this is the case, the darkness outside the bottom of the round tower is not pure darkness. According to many historical records, the dark night before the dark age will not disappear like people evaporate, nor will it bring monsters like breeding. The current darkness It must have been mutated, or mixed with other forces to become dangerous."

"That's right, being able to think of this shows that you've made progress... That's why I'm asking you, do you need pure darkness or darkness without light?" Colin's light blue eyes revealed a little sigh.

This... Could it be that pure darkness exists only outside the "Land Abandoned by God"? Derrick felt sad for a while, and cheered up again:

"Your Excellency, I don't know too well. It will take me a while to confirm."

He believes that members of the Tarot Club, such as Mr. "The Hanged Man" and Mr. "World", who have extensive knowledge and experience and strong strength, can find a good way.

Colin Iliad didn't ask much, nodded and said:

"Go ahead.

"At Sequence 5, even if you can't become a demigod for a long time, you still have the opportunity to control some sealed items."

…………

Backlund, Hillston District, Hugh changed into a brown jacket and a peaked cap, acting like an ordinary short man.

She has officially accepted the commission and began to track and investigate that Mr. Ernes Boyar, and there are several bounty hunters involved in this mission.

Ernes Boyar helped the top hat on his head, pointed forward with his cane, and told the driver:

"To St. George's."

It is located in the southeast direction of Backlund, separated from the East Region by the Tussock River.

After getting into the carriage and sitting firmly, Ernes sniffled, looked out the window, and suddenly snorted.

As a blood viscount, how could he not be able to detect the stalking of a crappy bounty hunter?
