Chapter 23 Commissioning Within the Meeting
As Klein's understanding of the occult and the mortal realm deepened, and as he gradually experimented with some of the abilities of the space above the gray mist, when he faced "Justice", "The Hanged Man" and "The Sun", he slowly Slow is no longer as guilty as before, no longer blindly thinking about maintaining an unfathomable image, lest the members of the Tarot Club keenly pierce his disguise.
He now knows that although the gods in this world are powerful and weird, they are by no means omniscient and omnipotent. This description is only available to the Creator who created everything in the legend, and only the City of Silver still recites it.
The gods have limitations, and the gods may also be in trouble. This is what Klein can confirm so far. Both the "Book of Storms" and "Apocalypse of the Night" are more or less involved in the corresponding content.
Therefore, Klein consciously added "human design" to the recent Tarot meeting, trying to shape himself into a limited strong person who is close to the gods but unable to move freely for some reason.
In this way, even if he occasionally shows that he does not know enough about certain things, and occasionally asks for help, it will not arouse the suspicion of the members of the Tarot Society.
Of course, the premise of all this is that he has undoubtedly implanted the image of "Justice" and "The Hanged Man" with the image of "Justice" and "The Hanged Man" through the powerful strength shown by "Faithful" Azik. " and "sun" heart.
Huh, I hope this kind of shaping can be successful, and then you don’t have to worry too much about not being able to answer their questions... Of course, things that belong to "common sense" still have to be tense and not show cowardice... Klein tapped his fingers On the edge of the ancient long table, he said with a low smile:
"I want to issue a mission."
Task? Audrey "Justice" twitched her ears slightly, her eyes widened, and she was surprised, expecting, and apprehensive.
She clearly remembered that this was the first time Mister Fool officially issued a mission!
Although He also made some entrustments before, they were all prepaid types. It seemed that he randomly found some collection tasks to comply with the principle of equivalent exchange... This time He used the word "promulgate"...as " A mind reader", Audrey is already very good at reading hidden meanings from a few words.
At the same time, she keenly discovered that the "Hanged Man" seemed to have no changes, but was actually extremely nervous, while the "Sun" was ignorant and took this as a very normal thing.
"You can choose to pick it up, or not to pick it up." Klein used the ability of "Joker" to make his tone look quite relaxed, "Another of my followers has arrived in Backlund, and he hopes to complete one thing, but It’s not convenient to come out by yourself.”
The other favored... "The Hanged Man" nodded as if thinking about it, and was not surprised at all.
In his eyes, it is a tacit fact that Mister Fool, a god-level powerful existence, has multiple followers.
I don’t know what sequence Mister Fool’s favored one has... well, I actually still owe him a bounty to his previous favored one... Even though Mr. Fool’s reward is paid by the “Hanged Man”, he doesn’t like it Money, but I did pray with the mentality of asking for help at the time, and "Vice Admiral Hurricane" was killed by that favored person...His favored person still needs a certain amount of funds for activities..."Justice" Audrey Thinking a little guilty.
Frankly speaking, in her eyes, 30,000 gold pounds plus a large plantation is indeed a huge amount of wealth, but just like that, it will not have too much impact on her life.
Yes, it’s fine, it doesn’t matter if it doesn’t, well, I still feel a little distressed, a little... Audrey nodded sincerely to herself in her heart.
As a girl who has not really grown up yet, not to mention the big plantation, even with the remaining 30,000 gold pounds, she actually does not have absolute dominance. She can only buy Backlund munitions according to the arrangement of her father, Earl Hall. A small share of the group has invested in a company that is trying to introduce some technologies of ironclad ships into the field of commercial ships.
This allowed her to finally get a bounty of only 5,000 pounds that could be used as pocket money. However, her fixed annuity income was on the original level of 15,000 to 25,000 pounds.
Raised at least 2000 pounds.
Seeing that "Justice" and the others did not speak, Klein announced the task:
"What he wants to accomplish is to assassinate Bakerland Jean Madan, the ambassador of the Republic of Intis to the Kingdom of Loen."
"Assassinate the Ambassador of the Republic of Intis?" Audrey the Justice couldn't control herself, and asked in amazement.
This is an act that will cause disputes between the two countries, and even break out of war! As a qualified noble lady, the first thing she thought of was international relations.
As for the issue of Mister Fool not doing it himself, she took it for granted:
How can there be a big man who always helps his subordinates do things?
After the kingdom failed in the war on the east coast of Balam, His Majesty the King did not go out in person. At most, he changed a general and sent troops again.
Well, it is said that His Majesty the King really wanted to go out on his own, but was stopped by the nobles and ministers...
"The Hanged Man" Alger was only slightly surprised by this task, and his focus was on other parts.
Mister Fool really can't interfere in the real world deeply... My guess is correct... I don't know how much he can influence us who have established a connection... Can he easily deprive us of life? Alger, who was a little complacent, gradually let go of his thoughts.
Derrick the Sun was dumbfounded:
What is the Republic of Intis? What is an ambassador? This patchwork giant language is very strange!
Klein looked around, maintaining the relaxed attitude just now and said:
"Which one of you is willing to accept this task?"
"What reward do you want?"
Uh... let me kill an innocent person for no reason, I can't convince myself... and this is likely to lead to a disaster, a disaster stemming from the war... "Justice" Audrey, who wanted to raise her hand, hesitated .
At this moment, "The Hanged Man" said with a hey:
"I heard that Ambassador Bakerland is also the intelligence chief of the Republic of Intis in the kingdom. He secretly supported the bloody marches, planned some events that damaged the relationship between the nobles and the rich, and spread a lot of rumors to incite the people to confront the government. .”
He seemed to see the hesitation of "Justice", and described Bakerland's dark side in detail.
Then, he added:
"I don't know if this ambassador is a Extraordinary, but many clues indicate that he is likely to be."
"There are many Extraordinary people around him, and they belong to the Intis Intelligence Agency, and this department has long been influenced by the original royal family, the Sauron Family, and has mastered the first part of the sequence of the 'Hunter' pathway."
"Moreover, whether the two countries will break out of war depends only on whether the upper levels of the two sides want to fight, and has nothing to do with the life or death of a diplomat."
After the assassination of Emperor Roselle, Intis finally maintained a stable republic system after several major shocks. The Sauron family suffered a brutal blow during the Roselle period, and their strength in all aspects declined very sharply. Can reluctantly accept this reality, change the goal to compete for seats, and secretly influence the national intelligence department and a small number of troops.
After listening to the news provided by "The Hanged Man", the hesitation in Audrey's heart disappeared, she nodded gracefully and said:
"In recent years, the Feysac Empire has expanded tremendously, defeating the Kingdom and the Republic of Intis one after another on the east coast of Balam and the Star Highlands. Afterwards, as long as the problem is pushed to them, it will affect the high-level officials and the people of the Republic of Intis. That said, it’s all acceptable and willing to believe.”
Audrey didn't know much about politics, but she had a father who was a member of the House of Lords and a hereditary earl, so she would still hear and see a lot of things after all.
Whether it is to shirk responsibility or divert domestic conflicts, the unpopular northern barbarians are the favorite and most convenient targets for nobles and ministers.
It doesn't matter if they did it or not.
Of course, more than a hundred years ago, this role was filled by Intis and Russell.
After pondering for a few seconds, Audrey "Justice" looked at the top of the long bronze table with a little trepidation and guilt:
"Mr. Fool, I can try to complete this task, but I don't guarantee that I will be successful."
On the one hand, she intends to find her father to confirm whether Ambassador Bakerland is really the leader of Intis intelligence, on the other hand, she has never thought of doing it by herself, neither the "audience" nor the "mind reader" are the types who are good at fighting , she can only collect as much information as possible about Ambassador Bakerland in the high society, and then entrust the mission.
Well, we can ask Xio and Forsi to ask Mr. A to do it...or find the hosts of several other extraordinary circles...don't expose me...things must be kept secret, maybe there are information about Intis lurking in those circles Personnel... I don't know how much money will be paid, 5000 pounds may not be enough... Audrey is already thinking about the future plan.
Klein didn't expect Miss Justice of Sequence 8 to succeed, so he nodded slightly and said:
"What do you expect to be paid?"
"The formula of 'Psychiatrist'." Audrey blurted out, and then, she added with some hesitation, "and the corresponding Extraordinary materials, well... this can be discussed after the task is completed, if it fails, I will consume it myself Bear, I, I still owe, owe your loved ones a bounty."
Bounty? It turned out that the bounty was given to Miss Justice... 10,000 gold pounds, 5000 pounds in half... Shrouded in gray fog, Klein thought about how much Ambassador Bakerland was worth for a few seconds, and finally thought that he must be worth more than "Vice Admiral Hurricane" Qilingusgui.
"Yes." Klein replied in a normal tone.
At this time, "The Hanged Man" Argel said:
"I also accept this task, and the reward can be determined after completion."
"Didn't you go back to the sea?" Audrey asked in surprise.
"Just because I'm not in Backlund doesn't mean I can't assassinate Ambassador Backlund." Alger smiled and didn't give a positive explanation.
The "Sun" Derrick next to him has never been able to integrate into this topic.
Klein nodded and agreed:
"it is good."
He immediately turned his attention to Roselle's diary in his hand.
