Chapter 1 New Identity

The sky outside the window was gloomy, but there was no fog that Klein was familiar with. The waves came in waves, blowing away all the haze, allowing the high-altitude clouds to roll up and arrange into various shapes, reflecting the golden-red sun.

This is Pritz Harbor, the largest and busiest port in the Kingdom of Loen.

Klein, who was wearing a light-colored vest and a white shirt, stood by the window and stared at the outside world for a while. He didn't return to the table made of mahogany until urged by his pocket watch.

Standing by the warm fireplace, he picked up a dark black round-bellied absorbent pen, unfolded the letter paper, and slowly wrote:

"Dear Mr. Azik:

"Please forgive me for not writing to you until today. In the past few days, I wandered around Backlund, immersed in the devastation caused by the previous incident to this metropolis. If we were all ordinary people, maybe we would have been covered with white cloth , carried into the crematorium, and inhabited in a tiny box...

"I waited for a long time, and finally found an opportunity to retrieve my own items, including the 'card of blasphemy' I promised. In addition, there is another item that I will let the courier bring to you. It is a A copper whistle, a copper whistle that can summon messengers, it comes from a chance encounter with an old man who climbed up from the coffin, you must be confused when you see this, because the description I used can also point to you, this That's what I don't understand.

"...The specifics of the incident are like this. I suspect that the original owner of the copper whistle is a member of the spiritual sect who tried to resurrect the death god, and his level is not low. Maybe you can see something from this copper whistle...

"Before I left Backlund, I wrote to 'Heart of the Machine', describing the huge underground ruins where you and Ince Zangwill fought. I hope they can use this information to find out the truth behind the incident.

"After roundabout and indirect probing, I confirmed that they are not hostile to me and you for the time being, if you are in trouble, maybe you can try to ask them for help.

"Finally, I have another question, is there any way to remove the residual spiritual pollution in the solidified Beyonder characteristics?

"...I am about to sail away, I wish you a smooth journey to find memories, and I wish myself a safe journey.

"Your student and friend, Klein Moretti."

After putting down the pen and reading it from the beginning, Klein folded the letter paper and stuffed it into the envelope together with the "Dark Emperor" card and the copper whistle suspected to be left by members of the Spiritual Sect.

After finishing all this, he picked up the copper whistle given by Mr. Ards, and summoned the messenger by blowing.

The messenger is still nearly four meters high,

It was made purely of white bones, and its eye sockets were burning with pitch-black flames, but Klein's spiritual intuition told him that this was already another messenger.

Sighing secretly, Klein raised his arm and put the letter into the other's hanging palm.

The messenger lowered his head for a glance, and immediately disintegrated quickly, turning into bones, and then fell like a torrential rain, drilling into the ground.

Seeing this scene, Klein tapped his right teeth and turned off his spirit vision.

He turned his gaze back to the table, where there was a light yellow identity certificate, which was necessary for purchasing ocean-going tickets through formal channels.

For this reason, he specifically went to Sharon, and obtained a new identity through the other party's circle.

This identity belongs to a bounty hunter, a lunatic who wants to venture out to sea in order to get rich. According to Klein, his name is Gehrman Sparrow.

"Hunting evil..." Klein whispered, and collected a series of proof documents for his new identity.

Immediately afterwards, he closed the curtains, took four steps backwards, and entered above the gray mist.

At this time, there was still some time before the Tarot meeting, so Klein quickly dug out "Squirming Hunger" and put it on his hand.

Closing his eyes, he sensed the twisted and illusory souls one by one, and he tried to release the "faceless man".

If it were in the real world, "Squirming Hunger" would happily eat this gift and spit out the corresponding Extraordinary characteristics, but it dared not have any impulse to let the soul of "Faceless Man" He left the gloves smoothly and appeared on the side of the long bronze table.

It was a middle-aged man with a vague face, and the feeling of distortion and pain had dissipated a lot.

He saluted with difficulty to Klein, who was leaning on the back of the chair. His figure gradually faded, and he was about to fall into the gray mist.

In the majestic palace, Klein can directly "channel" without additional preparation ceremony, so he spread his spirituality, stabilized the other party, and said in a low voice:

"Do you know where there are living mermaids?"

The man replied in a trance:

"Except for those kept by the Church of the Evernight Goddess, you can only find them by sailing from the Gargas Islands to the depths of the Sunya Sea for at least a week. This is exactly my destination."

It turned out that he was also a "faceless man" who was looking for promotion... In order to chase the mermaid, he ventured out to sea, but somehow died in the hands of "Vice Admiral Hurricane" Qilingus... The Church of the Goddess raised many mermaids ? Klein asked in a daze:

"Which organization do you belong to? Or, where did your potion formula come from?"

The blurred middle-aged man's body suddenly trembled, and it took two seconds for him to make a sound:

"Secret Order, I belong to the Secret Order."

Secret Order? How many mermaids did the secret society raise by itself? Klein thought about it and said:

"Have you met your leader, Zaratul?"

The illusory and transparent "Faceless Man" was silent at first, and then shouted sharply:

"See you!

"He, he's abnormal! He's an undead monster!"

While speaking, his figure became thinner and was about to collapse.

Zaratul is still alive! What happened to make the members of the secret order fear him so much? To be precise, he should be used... Klein hurriedly asked another key question:

"Besides the treasures left by the Antigonus family and the interior of your secret order, where else can I obtain the high-sequence potion formula of the 'Seer' pathway?"

The "faceless man" became more and more transparent and illusory, and finally he could only say:

"The Church of the Goddess of the Night...the Church of Tranquility..."

The Holy Church... Klein watched silently as the spirit body of the "Faceless Man" was completely liberated, while repeating a word in his heart—the Tranquil Church is the headquarters of the Church of the Evernight Goddess, the "Holy Church" in the mouth of the Nighthawks.

The high-sequence potion formula of the "Seer" path is really hidden there... I don't know how many secrets have been buried and hidden by the major churches... Klein sighed, and let the black and green gelatinous things condensed on the surface of the glove slide down to the bronze Long table surface.

The extraordinary characteristics of the "faceless man" finally formed a jelly-like translucent object. Against the black and green background, there were faces with different looks floating in it from time to time, like figures hidden behind dark curtains.

Klein took a few glances, nodded slightly, and said to himself:

"With the help of 'World' later, Mr. 'The Hanged Man' please sell this Extraordinary characteristic, sell it to 'craftsmen', and sell it to Extraordinary people in need."

Although with the help of divination above the gray fog, he found the monitoring loophole of the official Extraordinary on No. 15 Minsk Street, but in order not to provoke the other party and not reveal the secrets of the spirit body, he did not return there in the end, but spent extra money I bought a set of clothes for a change of clothes, and the odds and ends necessary for life, and spent a total of 12 pounds.

Add in the £8 he paid for the paperwork for his new identity, and his wallet was almost useless.

As for the 10% stake in the bicycle company, Klein took the opportunity to meet Detective Isengard Stanton, signed the legal documents, and entrusted the other party to manage it. Anyway, the relationship between the two parties is not a secret in the eyes of Nighthawks and Mechanic Heart.

There are 5 pounds in cash and 5 gold coins left... It costs 4 pounds to go to the Rorsted Islands, which is still a third-class ticket on the lower cabin... From the Rorsted Islands to the Gargas Islands, at least 4 pounds are needed... We must get those tickets as soon as possible. Let go of the Extraordinary characteristics of a "faceless man"... This way at least you can sit in second class and eat good food... Thanks to Emlyn's suitcase kept above the gray fog, otherwise I would have to buy another one... Klein silently calculated his financial situation, as if he had returned to the predicament of relying on the advance salary of the Nighthawks to afford a set of formal clothes when he just crossed over.

"The Extraordinary characteristics of Sequence 6 range from 3,000 to 4,000 pounds, and if someone needs it urgently, they can pay a premium... But in addition to maintaining my life, I also have to consider the cost of auxiliary materials for 'Secret Puppet Master', and the cost of removing the main material mental pollution. The ceremony costs." Klein sighed, took out his pocket watch, and glanced at it.

Seeing that it was almost time, he first sent the message to the little "sun" to prepare for the party.

…………

Forsi's eyes suddenly became clear, and she saw three figures sitting opposite the mottled long table.

More members? As soon as she thought about it, she quickly settled down again.

At this moment, she doesn't care about whether there are new members of the Tarot Society. Her mind is full of the smog and plague last week.

She clearly remembered that in the last gathering, "The World" reminded herself and Ms. "Justice" that something big was brewing in Backlund, and it was very likely to bring about a tragedy. Mister Fool affirmed this guess and further pointed out the root of the problem. The key figure is Prince Edsac.

She didn't doubt Mister Fool's ability, but thought that the tragedy needed to be brewed, and there was still enough time to investigate. Who knew it would come so fast and so suddenly!

According to reports, Prince Edesak also contracted an illness in that smog and unfortunately died... It really happened, it really happened... Forsi recalled the contents of the newspaper a few days ago, and seemed to understand something, But he couldn't grasp anything, and felt a little panic and uneasy for a while.

As a Sequence 9 me, it seems that because I joined the Tarot Club, I "intervened" in advance of this terrible event involving a metropolis, a prince, and tens of thousands of lives! Until this moment, "Magician" Fors didn't realize the importance of being a member of the Tarot Society.

Then, she heard Miss Justice's greeting, which was the same as usual, but lost her lightness:

"Good afternoon, Mister Fool.

"You saved Backlund again!"

ah? What? When was I saved again? "Moon" Emlyn was at a loss for a while. To read books on this site, please use the latest domain name
