Chapter 3 The Unchanged Party

Klein's first morning in Backlund started with light-colored mist, low-visibility sky, cold and humid environment, 1 penny 1 liter of cheap tea, and two slices of toast with inferior butter sandwiched between them.

He was busy all morning, first went to the headquarters of the Backlund Post in Jorwood District, spent 30 pounds, and ordered a small advertisement for a month.

Starting Tuesday, loyal readers of the Backlund Post will see a small notice at the crease of the seventh and eighth pages:

"Sherlock Moriarty, a private investigator who is good at handling various matters, charges a reasonable fee, strictly abides by the principle of confidentiality, and lives at 15 Minsk Street, Jorwood District."

The reason why Klein didn't choose Tassok's Backlund Daily and other major newspapers that cover the entire Loen Kingdom is because his business will only be limited to the city of Backlund for the time being, and he doesn't want to become too famous. high.

Therefore, the Backlund Post, which is very popular in the local area and has an inexpensive advertisement price, became his choice.

After leaving the headquarters of the Backlund Post, Klein held a map in his hand, and purchased different plant powders and silver flakes from various herbal stores, flower shops, jewelry stores, and jewelry stores, making preparations for the ceremony. In the case of spiritual items, most of the mystical materials can be bought in ordinary stores, but they are not so concentrated, and you need to go to many stores to get them together.

For this, Klein spent another 5 pounds, and the huge wealth of 200 pounds that he took out fell below the 100 mark, leaving only 92 pounds.

"Spending money is like running water." Klein found a small restaurant nearby, and ordered a steak with black pepper sauce for 8p, mashed potatoes with pork sausage for 5p, coffee for 1p, vegetables for 1p, Since the total amount exceeds 1 soli, 1 penny is added to get 1 serving of bread with butter.

At 1:00 p.m., he arrived at No. 15 Minsk Street. Without taking a break, he took the time to prepare the "Holy Night Powder" with herbal powders such as deep sleep flower, dragon's blood grass, deep red sandalwood and mint. A material used to craft spiritual walls.

Before buying the real ceremonial silver dagger,

He can only make do in this way.

Klein guessed that he had to advance to Sequence 7 in order to get rid of this restriction.

"Phew, Miss 'Justice', Mr. 'The Hanged Man', and students 'Sun' haven't asked for leave yet. Today's party will be held on time. I don't know what kind of surprise Mr. 'The Hanged Man' will bring me, and how much he can provide. Page Roselle's Diary" Klein lay on the bed in the bedroom, thinking about various things.

For him, a private detective is a career that takes both money and action into account. This allows him to get in touch with people from all walks of life, slowly discover Backlund's circle of Extraordinary people, and gradually find clues to the secret order.

Of course, if he was lucky enough, he could even directly find out what Sequence 7 corresponds to "Joker" in some Extraordinary circles, and buy the corresponding potion formula and main materials.

As for Inz Zangwill's whereabouts, Klein will not take the initiative to look for it for the time being, and may even avoid him a little bit, but if he can accidentally find this enemy without revealing himself, he doesn't mind doing a good deed and sending a letter anonymously To the Church of the Evernight Goddess.

"The income of a private detective can at most maintain a middle-class life. If you want to have enough money, enough money to buy potion formulas and extraordinary materials, one is to visit Miss 'Justice', and the other is to make a certain amount of investment. The remaining 100 pounds in the account, well, the 92 pounds on my body can't be moved for the time being, maybe I won't have any money in the account for a long time." Thinking of this, Klein suddenly sat up and came to the first floor, before starting to read. Various newspapers bought.

These newspapers often publish some news, such as what a certain person has discovered and seeks investment, such as a certain person hopes to form a joint venture with someone, and what kind of business to do.

Klein relied on his knowledge of the earth and his understanding of this era to carefully screen the projects. Unfortunately, those guys today are not very reliable.

At 2:45 p.m., he went to the bedroom, locked the door, closed the curtains, and used "holy night powder" to create a spiritual wall.

Retrograde four steps, came above the gray mist, Klein sat upright on the high-backed chair of the Fool, extended his spirituality, and touched the crimson star that symbolized the "sun" in a prayerful way.

This is one of the few unchanging things in my completely changed life, he suddenly sighed.

In a certain area outside the City of Silver, inside a half-collapsed black-gray tower.

Nine members of the patrol team gathered around the burning fire, chatting about the experience of this period of time.

In addition, there are several team members guarding the periphery, guarding against possible sudden attacks in the dark.

I don’t know how many extraordinary people from the City of Silver have taught them with blood lessons:

Don't relax your vigilance at all times, the monsters in the dark are probably behind you!

In the night when the frequency of lightning is very low, it is necessary to keep the flame burning and the light shining. Once it is completely dark, it is not impossible for all members to disappear. No one can tell how terrible things will happen in pure darkness, because the facts Breaking through the limits of their imagination time and time again.

Derrick Berg maintained a restrained silence, quietly listening to his companions recalling the monster they had encountered before, a humanoid monster with eyes all over its body.

In order to deal with this monster, their patrol team paid the price of five people injured and two serious.

Suddenly, Derrick's eyes blurred, and he felt surrounded by a thick gray fog.

And in an indescribable distance, in the depths of the gray mist, a vague figure sat on an ancient high-backed chair, looking down at him.

"Get ready for the party."

The Fool's voice rang in Derrick's ears, but the teammates around him didn't notice it.

Focusing his eyes and observing the environment for more than ten seconds, Derrick moved to the edge of the fire, with his back against the broken wall and his side facing everyone, pretending to sleep.

Ever since the elder Lovia, a member of the "Six-member Council", was unable to discover the existence of Mister Fool, he gradually believed that as long as he did not inadvertently expose certain problems, it would be counted under the glances of the eyes. , he can also quietly go to the Tarot Gathering above the gray mist.

Backlund, Queens District.

Audrey went to her bedroom with the excuse of being tired.

She restrained her excitement, didn't come and walk, and sat quietly on the bed, waiting for Mister Fool's call.

Dad was busy communicating with other councilors about the bills to be submitted, and the extraordinaire guards no longer followed me all the time. Thanks to the goddess, my life finally returned to normal! Two weeks have passed, Mr. "The Hanged Man" must have prepared the pituitary gland of an adult colorful lizard dragon, and I'm about to be promoted to Sequence 8! Audrey thought with bright eyes.

For her, this is more exciting and anticipating than getting a reward of 30,000 pounds and a large plantation worth at least 8,000 pounds!

Finally, she saw the familiar illusory crimson light gushing out like a tide, submerging herself.

On an old sailing ship.

Alger Wilson locked the door of the captain's cabin, sat behind the sextant and the nautical notes, and kept memorizing the contents written on the stack of thick paper in front of him.

After passing the investigation period, he was rewarded by the high-level officials and did not miss the prosperity of Backlund. He voluntarily left that metropolis and returned to the sea, carrying a batch of Roselle's diaries that were secretly transcribed.

"After digesting the 'Navigator' potion, I can be promoted normally. My credit is enough to exchange for formulas and materials, but this will reveal that I know the 'acting method'. There are advantages and disadvantages." Alger shook his head. , suddenly distracted.

At this moment, he felt the call of "The Fool", and the face of "Vice Admiral Hurricane" Qilingus suddenly appeared in his mind, with flesh and blood flying and rotting, and pieces of his face fell down.

Alger instinctively lowered his head, letting the crimson tide swallow him.

Above the gray mist, inside a palace that looks like a residence for giants.

Klein, who activated his spiritual vision, looked at "Justice", "The Hanged Man" and "Sun", and confirmed their current status.

Audrey was about to say hello happily, when she suddenly saw "The Hanged Man" make a gesture, and spoke first:

"Mr. Fool, I have obtained a total of 19 pages of Roselle's diary this time."

"Here, I have to thank you for sending a follower to help me get rid of Qilingus. These diaries are the reward I should pay!"

19 pages? Not bad, Klein didn't say much about the favored one, and smiled lightly:

"This is the principle of equivalent exchange."

As expected of Mister Fool, a pirate general who carries magical items is not taken seriously by him at all. It seems that I don’t need to mention the bounty. I don’t know how many high-sequence favored Audrey Mister Fool has. Unknowingly, I also began to get used to using "He" to refer to "The Fool".

Hearing The Fool's answer, Argel the Hanged Man said humbly:

"The limit of my current memory is six pages, please allow me to share it with you a few times."

"No problem." Klein, who was shrouded in thick gray fog, nodded lightly.

"The Sun" Derrick looked at the pages of the "Hanged Man" diary, and was very curious about the contents.

With previous experiences, he believes that the items Mr. Fool is interested in must contain many mysteries.

He glanced at Miss Justice, seeing that the other party had no urge to ask, and cautiously kept silent.

Soon, the six-page diary was completed and came into Klein's hands.

Audrey and the others began to wait quietly, already used to similar things.

Klein moved his gaze down and read the content on the first page:

"On December 16th, I made contact with that poor guy trapped deep in the storm and lost in the darkness again."

Klein was overjoyed when there was finally a follow-up of the previous page of notes, and his attitude became more focused:

"He called himself Mister 'Gate', tried to teach me a complicated and difficult ritual, asked me to help him return to the real world, and promised to meet my three requirements."

"Does he think I'm stupid? I have lived for more than sixty years in my two lives, and I still can't see that this is the usual operation of evil gods and demons?"

"But some of the history of the Quaternary Epoch he described is really interesting."
