Chapter 237
With the help of the bestowing ceremony, Klein handed over 2,500 pounds of cash and the simple golden mask provided by "The Hanged Man" to Miss "Justice", and used the image of "World" praying to tell the other party to complete the transaction as soon as possible.
In the past two weeks, I have spent almost 5,000 pounds. If I don’t leave Tingen, this money is enough for my retirement, and my daily life can still be maintained at the level of the landlady’s family... A doll ruins a life, and drinking medicine is poor Three generations... Klein looked at the boundless mist and the ancient palace that had returned to silence, feeling a bit disappointed, as if he had lost something important.
He calmed down for a few seconds, returned to the real world, picked up the remaining 830 pound banknotes on the desk, and deliberately counted out six 5-pound banknotes.
Then, Klein put the 30 pounds of cash into the completely deflated wallet, and solemnly stuffed it into the inner pocket of his clothes.
The other 800 pounds, he divided into two folds, and put one in each of the left and right pockets.
Immediately afterwards, Klein opened the drawer, took two from the five deep-sea naga hairs that he had brought back to the real world in advance, wrapped them layer by layer with paper, and carefully put them into the hidden pocket of his clothes.
After finishing all this, he took his hat and cane, headed to the intersection in the light of gas street lights at night, took a carriage, and went straight to the "Brave" bar in the Backlund Bridge area.
In the lively and noisy environment, Klein insisted on finishing the glass of Southwell beer he wanted, and then walked slowly through waves of boxers cheering, left the bar, and boarded a taxi.
Feeling the rolling of the wheels, he deliberately closed his eyes, and suddenly the sound of the window being tapped sounded in his ears.
Klein's facial muscles moved slightly. He opened his eyes and looked forward. He saw the pale and exquisite Miss Sharron sitting quietly across from her.
Before the other party asked, Klein smiled and said:
"I sold the information you provided last time for a good price, the one from the Amon family mausoleum."
Sharon didn't speak, and looked at him quietly.
Klein leaned on his cane and took out two stacks of cash and a small ball of paper from his pocket.
"800 pounds plus two deep-sea naga's hair, the total value is around 1,000 pounds. This is what you should get." Klein took a breath silently, and handed over the cash and paper ball with a smile.
Sharon glanced at him, reached out and took the two things.
She bowed her head,
Looking at the items in his hand, he asked in an erratic and illusory voice:
"How much did you sell?"
"2000 pounds, half for each person." Klein chuckled lightly.
If the "Mechanical Heart" only pays 1,500 pounds according to the original plan, then I can only owe part of it first... He thought happily.
Sharon flipped her bloodless palm, and the cash and paper balls went to nowhere.
She raised her head, said "um", and asked concisely:
"What's in the tomb?"
"I don't know, I didn't go." Klein did not disclose the help of the magic mirror Arrods.
At this moment, he felt that if he described that experience in detail, Miss Sharron would definitely listen attentively, resting her chin on one hand as before.
This Miss "Wraith" seems to have a hobby of watching dramas and listening to various rumors... Klein summed it up.
Sharon's expression remained unchanged, she was silent for a few seconds and said:
"Someone is digging a passage to the underground ruins."
"Huh?" Klein couldn't realize what the other party was talking about for a moment.
But soon he understood what the underground ruins in Sharon's words referred to.
There is only one underground ruin that both of them know, and that is the ruins of the Tudor Dynasty in the Quaternary Epoch, and there is a terrifying evil spirit in it!
Someone is digging a tunnel to get into that underground building? Klein pondered for a few seconds, and suddenly had a burst of inspiration:
"The what from the Baron?"
He had already forgotten the name of the hidden Tudor descendant. He only remembered that he also had the title of baron and lived on Sivelas Street where the Backlund Police Department was located.
"Yes." Sharon replied in the affirmative.
"What is he looking for? Doesn't he know that there is an evil spirit inside? Doesn't he know that all the Beyonders of his family died inside?" Klein asked a few questions as if talking to himself.
Sharon sat quietly and answered earnestly:
"I don't know if he knows."
"...How long will it take for him to dig through?" Klein asked after deliberation.
"Two to three months, he will be alone for the time being." Sharon gave her own judgment.
Phew, Klein exhaled slightly and said:
"There's no need to worry about it. When I'm ready, let's 'visit' him together."
Having said that, he explained with a smile:
"You know, I like to be well prepared in advance."
Before I get promoted to "Faceless Man", I won't get involved in anything! He warned himself in his heart.
"Okay." Sharon didn't ask him what preparations he was going to make, and his figure quickly faded away, disappearing into the carriage.
Klein leaned back against the wall, feeling relaxed.
The ingredients for the "Faceless Man" potion have already been ordered, and they are waiting for "delivery"... The foreign debts have also been paid off, so there is no need to worry about anything... His mood is like sparkling wine, and occasionally a little joy silently rises up .
The only bad thing is... Klein touched his left chest, where there was a shriveled wallet.
He sighed, and said to himself silently:
"Only 30 pounds in cash plus 5 gold coins and some change..."
…………
Thursday afternoon.
Audrey Hall was waiting for Teacher Escalante's arrival in the study.
——After receiving the replies from "The Hanged Man" and "The World", she immediately sent a servant to deliver a letter to Escalante.
The content of the letter is very ordinary, that is, I hope that the second psychology class of this week will be moved forward to Thursday. In fact, Audrey has already made an agreement with Escalante. One party agreed to the terms.
Tick tock, the wall clock on the wall walked briskly, Escalante, whose long hair reached his waist, entered the room with a few textbooks.
Audrey immediately gave Susie a look, and the golden retriever jumped out with some reluctance, and lay down in the nearby shadows, watching people coming and going.
Islant closed the door of the study room, looked around slowly, then sat across from the small white round table, and put down the textbooks.
"Are they paying money, or magical items?" The member of the Psychological Alchemist asked in a low voice.
"One directly gave 2,500 pounds, and the other provided magical items." Audrey took out a clean white cardboard box from her orange medium-sized handbag in a brisk tone. The outside of the box was covered with a spiritual wall .
After removing the spiritual wall, she opened the lid of the box, revealing the simple golden mask.
Then, she recounted the flaws and effects of the mask.
Frankly speaking, when she got this magical item, she was very curious and wanted to try the effect. After all, this was the first magical item she officially came into contact with, but in the end, she restrained herself, she Don't want to be grim.
"The value is basically the same." Escalante tried it out and breathed a sigh of relief.
After pausing for two seconds, she pulled out the thickest textbook and turned to page 48.
The middle part of this textbook has been hollowed out, and there is a palm-sized iron box and a rolled parchment.
"Human-skinned shadow characteristics...'Wind Blessed One' potion formula..." Escalante showed while introducing.
Audrey cast her eyes on the features that looked like diamonds, and was quite dizzy by the faces formed by the light and shadow inside.
This, this has the ability to restrain the "audience"... Is this the sequence path of Mr. "World"? No wonder... Audrey looked away and looked at the potion formula:
"Sequence 6, 'The Blessed One', main materials: six crystalline feathers of the Blue Shadow Falcon, a pair of eyeballs of the Longyan Sea Eagle..."
Before Audrey had time to examine the auxiliary materials, Escalante had already rolled up the parchment in time.
Immediately, she fixed the spiritual wall of the iron box again, closed the teaching material, and pushed this heavy book to Audrey.
Audrey held down the book, but failed to hand over the golden mask and 2,500 pounds in cash to Escalante in time.
Facing the suspicious eyes of the other party, she was prepared and said with a smile:
"The other party is worried that the characteristics do not match, and is afraid that the formula is fake, and hopes to verify it first.
"And until the verification is completed, the money and things will be kept by me and placed with me. They all think that I am very reputable, and I don't want to lose this reputation."
"I understand their concerns." Islant paused, "We also believe in you."
Anyway, the money and goods are in the hands of her family members, and she is open-minded and not worried about being cheated at all.
Besides, Miss Audrey is rich and powerful, she is a guarantee, she is trustworthy... Escalante thought relaxedly.
…………
Above the gray mist, inside the ancient palace.
Klein holds a pendulum in his hand, divining the authenticity of the "Wind Blessed One" potion formula.
He didn't want to lose the most experienced and powerful member of the Tarot Society, Mr. "The Hanged Man" due to negligence.
Opening his eyes and seeing the citrine pendant turning clockwise, Klein heaved a sigh of relief, and passed his thoughts to the crimson star symbolizing "The Hanged Man".
…………
City of generosity.
Alger first saw the boundless gray mist, and then heard Mister Fool's low but lofty words:
"Miss Justice closed the deal."
A phantom parchment immediately appeared in front of Alger's eyes, on which was written the potion formula of "The Blessed One".
With Mister Fool in his hands, he had no doubts about the authenticity of the formula, bowed his head respectfully, and thanked him.
When the "illusion" dissipated, he immediately found a pen and paper and recorded the potion formula.
Then, he paced back and forth a little excitedly, and said silently to himself:
"Blue Shadow Falcon... on that primitive island..."
…………
After he was busy with "The Hanged Man", Klein had time to check his own human-skinned shadow characteristics.
After confirming that it was true, he relaxed and leaned back on the chair, and exhaled happily:
"Finally..."
Three seconds later, Klein sat up abruptly, deciding not to delay, and to mix the "Faceless Man" potion tonight!
