Chapter 143 The Mummy

At No. 7 Pinster Street, Leonard Mitchell walked to the desk and spread out the letter paper.

He immediately picked up the round-bellied absorbent fountain pen, lowered his wrist, and prepared to write.

However, as soon as he made a dark blue dot, the pen stopped, and he tried to move his wrist a few times before regaining his composure.

Raising his wrist and lowering the pen, Leonard repeated the same action again and again. Finally, his wrist froze in midair.

Snapped! Leonard dropped the pen, crumpled up the letter paper, and accurately threw it into the trash can at the foot of the table.

…………

At 160 Boklund Street, Klein took the thin letter from one of the heads of Miss Messenger Reinette Tinekerr.

He weighed it until his spiritual intuition gave no warning, then he opened the seal and took out the paper inside.

The paper had only one page, on which were written two lines of words in beautiful notes:

"I have something I hope to get your help with, and I will talk to you about it in detail."

"Sharon"

It turned out to be a letter from Miss Sharron... Klein cleared up his doubts, took out a gold coin, and did a simple divination in front of Reinette Tinekerr, before pulling out another piece of letter paper , write the last word:

"tonight."

He folded the paper, handed it to Miss Messenger and asked:

"Can you still locate the sender?"

If not, he will give Sharon's mailing address:

Mrs. Maryah, 126 Gard Street, Hillston.

"Yes..." One of Reinette Tinekerr's blond-haired, red-eyed heads responded.

She immediately opened her mouth and bit the folded letter paper.

After Miss Messenger disappeared into the room, Klein immediately set up a ceremony, preparing to bring "Squirming Hunger" from above the gray fog back to the real world, and then "travel" to the various archipelagos to find lucky pirates.

"Squirming Hunger" has not been sealed yet, and it still has to eat one person a day. Klein can only barely use it. Every time it is necessary, it will be taken out and fed again. It will be thrown back into the gray mist when it is almost time. Anyway, it will not be replenished. the difference in the middle.

"If Creeping Hunger dares to make a fuss, feed it mushrooms!" Klein, who finished the ceremony and cleaned up the scene, put on the thin human leather gloves,

The figure quickly faded to transparency and disappeared in place.

…………

After dinner, when "Squirming Hunger" finished "howling" above the gray mist, Klein excused his stomach discomfort, went into the bathroom, took it out again, and "teleported" it to "Brave" in the Backlund Bridge area. outside of the pub.

During this process, he has naturally changed his appearance, becoming the great detective Sherlock Moriarty with black hair, brown eyes, beard and glasses.

Bending his back and rolling up his trousers, Klein laughed at himself, lowered the brim of his hat, pushed open the heavy wooden door, and entered the bar.

After asking the bartender, he took a glass of Southwell beer, went outside the billiard room No. 3, and tapped on the locked door with his fingers.

Boom, boom, boom... In the rhythmic sound, the door creaked and a gap was opened.

Ian with bright red eyes took a look, and suddenly smiled:

"Sir, please come in."

Because the weather was getting hotter, he dropped the old overcoat and simply put on a linen shirt.

Klein nodded with a smile, entered the billiard room in a flash, and quickly took in all the scenes inside:

Maric, with messy hair, wearing a white shirt, black vest and black trousers, is holding a long pole and bending over to play pool.

Perhaps because he was impressed by the chaos caused by Sherlock Moriarty, he didn't summon his living corpses to play cards this time.

"Long time no see." Klein took the initiative to say hello.

At the same time, Sharon, who was wearing a small black soft hat and a court dress of the same color, appeared on the other side of the ball table, sitting quietly on the high stool.

"Good evening, ma'am." Klein shifted his gaze and saluted with a smile.

Sharon stood up in suspension, raised her skirt, bowed slightly, and responded politely, while Maric put down his cue, and said in a low and hoarse voice:

"It seems that you are still staying in Backlund."

His face was still so pale, but the malice hidden in his brown eyes had faded a lot, it seemed that the restraint during this period was quite effective.

It can be seen that the acquisition of the "Crimson Moon Crown" saves him from being on the verge of collapse every time the moon is full, and even the sedatives have to be replaced with new varieties frequently.

Klein didn't respond positively to Maric's words. He walked to the table, put down his beer glass, and said with a smile:

"I'm sorry, I could have sold you a copy of the Beyonder characteristic of 'Wraith', but unfortunately it was lost."

Sharron's blue eyes did not move, she did not search for the reason, and simply asked:

"Are you okay?"

She knew that the "wraith" Extraordinary characteristic that Sherlock Moriarty spoke of belonged to "Admiral of Blood" Senor, and "Admiral of Blood" was Sherlock Moriarty's secret puppet However, the disappearance of the Extraordinary characteristic of "Wraith Soul" also means the damage and loss of the marionette, which is not a trivial matter for the corresponding Extraordinary.

"Fortunately, at least I didn't suffer any harm." Klein sighed and laughed.

"No wonder I didn't see Senior this time..." Maric whispered in a daze.

Maric and Ms. Sharron didn't pay much attention to the "wraith" Extraordinary characteristic... They have another channel, or a way? Klein grasped the situation keenly, and asked instead:

"What's the matter this time?"

Maric immediately glanced at Ian. The calm young man who could still be called a big boy quickly exited the billiard room without asking any further questions, and closed the door behind him.

Sharon's puppet-like face fluctuated expressionlessly, allowing Maric to say:

"The day after tomorrow, a ship from the Southern Continent will arrive at Pritz Harbor, and it has a close relationship with the Loen military.

"This ship was loaded with many treasures and cultural relics looted from the Xingxing Plateau, Pass River Valley, and Haggati Grassland. Among them, there was a mummy. It was the nineteenth king of the Langdai Highland Kingdom, Tutansis II. World.

"The original language of the Southern Continent did not originate from the ancient Feysac language. It has its own structure. In the ancient highland language, the king was also called 'Kadev'. This is an exclusive vocabulary, which was translated by Emperor Roselle as 'Pharaoh', I don't know what he thought, and he also named 'Mummy'. In short, 'Pharaoh' means the son of the gods and the king of mankind.

"Tutansis II was once a high-sequence powerhouse, but after his death, the corresponding characteristics have been recovered, leaving only the body and making it into a mummy.

"For other Beyonders, this is a material full of spirituality, and it is an excellent object for making living corpses, but for us, it has an extra meaning, a very important meaning, and our goal this time is to obtain this The mummy of Tutansis II."

extra meaning? Apart from being used as materials, the corpses of high-sequence powerhouses without Extraordinary characteristics have any additional significance? Klein's heart moved, and he suddenly thought of Ms. "The Hermit"'s behavior of asking for a drop of mythical creature blood.

Could it be the ritual needed for the promotion of Sequence 5 "Wraith" to Sequence 4 "Puppet"? Miss Sharron already has the formula, and has digested the potion of "Resentful Soul"? Judging from her usual living conditions, she seems to be playing the role of a "wraith" all the time, and she may have digested it long ago... However, the words of the evil spirit in the underground ruins before seem to indicate that Miss Sharon at that time did not have a "puppet" Potion formula, um, everyone has their own circle, so it’s not too strange that Miss Sharon can get it... Klein glanced at Sharon thoughtfully, but didn’t notice that she was much different than before. There are obvious changes, still like a doll is better than a living person, but there is no more sinister sign.

Sharon sat there quietly, watching Sherlock Moriarty and Maric intently, listening to their conversation.

"If it's just a high-sequence mummy without Extraordinary characteristics, the level of protection won't be too high. Even if it's just the two of you, it shouldn't be too difficult to steal it." Klein thought about it and raised a question.

In his view, Sequence 5 can already be called a quasi-powerful. Unless the ship is guarded by a demigod, otherwise it will be difficult for the same level to effectively stop Miss Sharon's target. After all, the person in charge There are really too many important items that the Beyonders need to protect, and they may also be scattered in different cabins due to different storage methods.

This time, it was Sharon who gave the explanation, and she still said so succinctly:

"Worry is a trap targeted at us by the School of Roses.

"If not, 1,000 pounds. If there is, we will be responsible for attracting attention. You take the mummy. It depends on the danger, ranging from 5,000 pounds to 10,000 pounds."

Is that so... Klein didn't respond immediately, but after thinking about it, he asked instead:

"Do you know the spirit world predator?"

"Resentful souls" are also a type of Extraordinary who can effectively move in the spirit world.

Sharon nodded slightly and said:

"I can use gold pounds to combine with the relevant information of the spiritual predators as a reward."

Klein let out a "hmm":

"I'll think about it and write to you before midnight."

As an excellent "Seer", no matter what, he has to go above the gray fog to confirm the degree of danger. However, he can now be sure that this is definitely not a trap aimed at him, because he has nothing to do with the mummy. need.

"Okay." Sharon said with an unchanged expression.

Klein didn't say goodbye directly, walked to the door, called Ian in, and asked casually:

"Any noteworthy news recently?"

Ian thought for a while, and said one relatively important news after another:

"...someone is inquiring about the organization that believes in 'The Fool'..."

Klein smiled in astonishment and said:

"A young man with black hair and green eyes?"

He suspected it was Leonard Mitchell.

Ian shook his head:

"No, black hair and black eyes."

Which gentleman from the Aurora Society? Klein thought about it and said:

"Can you draw it?"

"..." Ian was stunned for a second, and laughed at himself, "Then you may never recognize who he is."

At this moment, Sharon spoke up and said:

"I can help you."

"Okay." Ian first breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately followed the instructions and prepared a fairly simple ceremony.

Then, trembling and twitching while possessed by the "Wraith", he completed a sketch:

It was a young man with slightly curly black hair, a broad forehead, thin cheeks, dark eyes, and a monocle.

Amon!

"The Blasphemer" Amon!
