Chapter 180 The Origin of "Craftsman"
Cattleya understands that "The Hanged Man" means that if the problem is serious, then the "moon" can be used to drag the entire blood race into this matter, recovering losses and gaining benefits in the chaos.
She then smiled and said:
"If the matter is so serious, why not go directly to the 'world'? It seems simpler."
Alger was silent for a few seconds and said:
"I have to show that I can handle it, so, that's the last option."
Hearing his answer, "Admiral of the Stars" Cattleya suddenly had some associations:
"The Hanged Man" attaches great importance to Gehrman Sparrow's opinion of "The World", because the other party is Mister Fool's favored person? Also, his attitude is quite consistent with the popular political jokes in Backlund, Trier and other places in a certain sense: When encountering a problem or making a mistake, the first reaction is to suppress it and find another way to solve it. Let the "boss" or "delegate" know...
This shows that the "Hanged Man" used to belong to a well-organized and powerful force, and has acquired such a culture and mastered related skills... "Church of Storms"? No, such a person is a heretic inside... The fleet of the "King of the Five Seas"?
While thinking about it, the pirate general pushed the heavy glasses on the bridge of his nose and brought the topic back on track:
"Continue to talk about the 'artisan'."
Alger seemed to have prepared a draft a long time ago, without thinking about it, without pausing, he spoke at a moderate pace:
"In order to conceal the identity of the 'craftsman' and prevent this channel from being mastered by others, I deliberately portrayed him as an insider of the Church of Steam, but in fact, he was addicted to fine wine and sex a long time ago. Extremely profligate, he had to make items for wild Beyonders to earn money to support his life, so he defected from the Church of Steam and hid in Bayam.
"This time, he contracted a strange disease first, was monitored by people of unknown origin, and then was controlled by those who suspected of believing in the 'primordial moon', and claimed to have gained a new life..."
Cattleya listened carefully, her slightly purple eyes behind the lenses seemed extremely focused.
After "The Hanged Man" finished speaking, she pondered for a while, and asked:
"A 'craftsman' will never lack magical items, and they know how to combine various extraordinary effects and negative effects, and their strength will definitely reach the Sequence 5 level.
"What method did the believers of the 'primordial moon' use to control the 'craftsman' without hurting him?
"Has a demigod shot?"
Alger slowly shook his head and said:
"There are no clues in this regard, but according to my observation, the 'craftsman' showed a certain voluntary element. I suspect that while threatening and coercing, there is also a temptation to target weaknesses."
He indirectly denied the speculation that a demigod was involved in this matter.
"Admiral of the Stars" Cattleya nodded:
"How did the believers of the 'primordial moon' find this 'craftsman'?
"According to your description, this 'craftsman' has always only traded with familiar and trustworthy friends, and he doesn't like to expand his channels very much. It can be said that he is very cautious in terms of safety."
Alger hesitated for a moment and said:
"I'm not too sure, but I have a guess.
"I once helped the 'world' sell a copy of the 'werewolf' extraordinary characteristic to that 'craftsman', and the 'werewolf' path belongs to the 'heterogeneous', no matter the formula or the characteristics, it is firmly controlled by the Rose School of thought, There's very little exodus."
Similarly, those who believe in the "primordial moon" in the Southern Continent basically belong to the Rose School... Cattleya silently added a sentence in her heart, and she has already figured out what the "hanged man" guess is:
He suspected that the "werewolf" Extraordinary characteristic had hidden problems involving hidden existence, which caused the "craftsman" to be targeted by the Rose School of Thought!
And this is also the reason why the Rose School of Thought can firmly control the formula and characteristics of the "alien" pathway.
"Admiral of the Stars" Cattleya asked a few more questions,
They all got satisfactory answers, and finally asked:
"What is the name of that 'craftsman', and which country is he from?"
"He's from Intis, and he calls himself Sharf." Argel responded without any fuss.
"Sharf..." Cattleya frowned slightly, and repeated the name of "craftsman" in a low voice.
What's wrong with this? Seeing this, Alger asked bluntly:
"Have you heard of him?"
In Alger's view, "Admiral of the Stars" is a strong man with rich experience, a deep background, and good at controlling himself. If he doesn't want to discuss anything about "Scharf", even if he has doubts or abnormalities, he won't be so obvious , based on this judgment, he chose not to shy away from asking.
Cattleya was silent for a moment and said:
"Emperor Roselle's eldest son is called Shire, which is very close to this name."
Before "The Hanged Man" could speak, she said to herself:
"The prince died of fear and worry not long after the emperor was assassinated. At that time, the Sauron family hoped to hang and exile his descendants, but the Church of Steam chose to accept them as priests."
Alger nodded slightly in a daze:
"Do you suspect that this is the descendant of that prince?"
In Intis, in Fusac, and in most countries in the Northern Continent, it is not too uncommon to use the name of one's ancestors or a similar name as one's own name, which represents the inheritance of glory, so the more prominent The family, the more so-and-so II, so-and-so III.
Of course, it is very common for two people who are completely unrelated to have the same name, but "Artisan" Sharf does not only have one name, he is also from the Church of Steam, he is from Intis, and he came to "Artisan" "This level.
Facing the question of "The Hanged Man", "Admiral of the Stars" Cattleya nodded lightly and said:
"If I can get his blood, I can confirm it soon."
Alger understood the reason, didn't say much, and asked instead:
"Are you going to act now? I can assist."
The surface of Cattleya's glasses reflected the crimson moonlight shining through the window:
"No, I intend to observe for a while longer.
"At least we have to figure out why those who believe in the 'primordial moon' control the 'artisan' Sharf for.
"If they just want 'artisans' to work for them and make magical items, then things are very simple and easy, but if they have other purposes, then the problem may be more complicated than we expected, and more preparations are required."
As expected of the "Admiral of the Stars"... Alger nodded and said:
"I can't stay in Bayam for too long. It will attract suspicion. If you need my help, do it as soon as possible."
After receiving an affirmative answer from the other party, "The Hanged Man" slowly got up, pulled his hood, and exited the room.
Cattleya, who already knew the current residence of "Craftsman" Scharf, took off her heavy glasses, squeezed the space between her brows, clapped her hands and said:
"Heath, come in."
In the shadow at the crack of the door, darkness surged suddenly, and a tall, thin and pale figure grew out.
His nose was exaggeratedly high, his face was almost transparent, and he looked sick. He was the second officer of the "Future", "Rose Bishop" Heath Doyle.
Cattleya looked at him and said:
"The specific situation is... I will leave it to you."
"Yes, Captain." Heath Doyle simply responded and shrank into the shadows.
Cattleya raised her right hand, paused for a few seconds and said:
"Recently, away from Frank recently, his mushroom experiments have stagnated, and I worry that he will come up with some new ideas."
…………
"The location of my second Secret Puppet..."
Klein held the two branches and muttered continuously, but he didn't see them turning.
This means that the divination failed, or Gurain City did not have a second Secret Puppet that was very suitable for him.
It seems that the method of mysticism is useless for the time being, and I will leave here after cleaning up tomorrow... Klein muttered, and threw the branch into the trash can.
Although Enzo, the secret puppet standing beside him, didn't dare to look directly at his master and could only look at the ground, he still skillfully brewed a cup of black tea and handed it to Klein.
Compared with before, this "winner" has a reddened and peeling surface. When all this improves, he will have a dark skin.
——In order to disguise the new Secret Puppet so that he would not be recognized by the Rose School of Thought, Klein took this gentleman to "travel" to the seaside where the sun was scorching hot for a long time of exposure.
At the same time, he manipulated the marionette to shave off most of his hair, leaving only a thin layer. With the outline of the eyebrows, the accumulation of powder on the face, the reconstruction of highlights and shadows, and the wearing of sunglasses, Enzo seems to have changed , Even if it is a very familiar friend, it is difficult to tell, unless it is a "faceless man".
In addition to the actual disguise, Klein also does mystic treatment, one is the "paper angel" hug, and the other is Azik's copper whistle.
In addition, he also preliminarily confirmed that the passive "luck" and "disaster" of the "winner" are invalid, but he doesn't know whether it is the reason for becoming a secret puppet or the relationship between the fog.
After taking the black tea and taking a sip, Klein turned his attention to the Balam map on the coffee table in front of him, thinking about where to find the second secret puppet next.
At this moment, the various colors around him suddenly deepened, as if they were re-outlined by a painter with ink.
Immediately afterwards, a figure was outlined beside Secret Puppet Enzo. He was wearing a silk top hat and a black dress. He was of medium build, with a bronze complexion, vicissitudes of eyes, soft facial features, and a small mole under his right ear. It was Azik Eggers.
Mr. Ards finally came... Klein was pleasantly surprised at first, and then noticed that the place where the other party appeared was next to the secret puppet.
This caused a funny picture to appear in his mind:
Mr. Ards, who relied on the copper whistle for positioning, was just like last time. As soon as he arrived, he grabbed the shoulder of the copper whistle carrier and walked away with the help of the spirit world. It was half a beat slower and had to freeze in front of him.
Azik seemed to be a little more silent than last time. He glanced at Klein who was a new face and said:
"Are you ready?"
