Lord of the Mysteries

Chapter 187 "Perfect" Reasoning

Backlund, Jorwood District.

Forsi, who was taking a nap, suddenly woke up from her dream. She saw the boundless gray mist and Mr. "Moon" bowing his head in prayer, and heard the clear words from the other party:

"...In the southeastern suburbs of Backlund, in the center of Dreyer Forest, there is an abandoned castle. There are at least two ancient wraiths haunting it, and there are other dead souls. It is not ruled out that extraordinary people live in seclusion there. The coordinates are..."

Finally, there is news of the main material of the "Recorder", which is worth 300 pounds... Fors was overjoyed, and immediately thanked Mr. Fool, and asked him to tell "Moon", and the reward will be paid later.

After finishing this matter, she turned over and got up, and went down to the first floor, intending to pour a glass of wine and drink, while thinking about when she would explore the abandoned castle and what preparations she needed to make.

"'Leymano's Travel Notes' can't be rented out recently... Hugh has to take it too...the abandoned castle has a lot of undead, it's quite dangerous, you have to think about the combination of 'magic', if it's flawed, or not targeted enough , just spend money to invite Mr. 'World', Mr. 'Hanged Man', and 'Sun' to record the corresponding Extraordinary abilities..." Although Forsi doesn't have much actual combat experience, she has been in several Extraordinary circles for many years , and later joined the Tarot Club, heard a lot, saw a lot, and naturally knew how to prepare for the adventure.

As for the option of directly asking Mr. "World" to do it for him, she had long since given up thinking about it, thinking that giving all the harvest plus her own savings to the other party would not match the remuneration.

Of course, if her tentative exploration proves that the abandoned castle is indeed very dangerous, and it is not a place where Extraordinary of her level can penetrate, then she will have the courage to bear the debt. After all, only by living can there be hope, and only by living can there be a future.

Theoretically, it shouldn’t be able to reach this point. There are still two demigod-level Extraordinary abilities left by Mr. “World” on the “Leymano’s Travel Notebook”. , those two demigod-level Extraordinary abilities may not be suitable for dealing with wraiths and dead souls... Forsi took a sip of Cold Winter Blackland, and various ideas gradually took shape.

At this moment, she heard the sound of the key being inserted into the lock, and instinctively turned her gaze to the door.

The door swung open, and Xio walked in carrying two paper bags that exuded a strong fragrance.

"Dixie Pie?" Fors first asked blurtly, then frowned in doubt, "Didn't you have a lot of commissions recently, why did you come back so early?"

Hugh threw one of the bags of Dixie pies over, and said with a smile:

"I just passed by, and I didn't have lunch, so I plan to take a rest."

Without waiting for Forsi to ask again, she took the initiative to say:

"I have accumulated enough merits! I will be able to exchange for the 'Interrogator' potion formula soon!"

Although her task of monitoring Viscount Stratford, the head of the palace guard, has not made substantial progress, this is a type that can accumulate meritorious service on a daily basis. As long as she submits a qualified report every week, she can get the corresponding "bounty", so , plus the completion of other commissions to varying degrees, Xio was able to obtain the "Interrogator" potion formula.

"Finally..." Forsi was sincerely happy for her friend, then shook the wine glass in her hand, "Would you like to drink some to celebrate?"

At the same time, she thought about her own affairs:

This is really great, after becoming Sequence 7, Xio should be able to undergo a certain qualitative change, and the matter of exploring that old castle is more assured!

Xio glanced at the transparent liquid in the wine glass, shook her head continuously and said:

"Drinking is not good!"

Then, she frowned:

"Also, I hate the smell of it."

Before Fors could speak, she suddenly remembered something, stood up directly, and walked towards the door:

"I just saw that the mailbox is full of things. Haven't you opened it today?"

"I haven't had time yet." Forsi put on a look like I'm very busy and have to rush the draft.

Hugh is a very mobile person,

He didn't listen to her explanation at all, he opened the door and went out to fiddle with the letter box.

After about ten seconds, she returned to the house with a pile of newspapers and a few letters, and said while looking at the recipient:

"It's all yours! Two letters from the publishing house, an invitation letter for a surgical exchange, and one from Pritz Harbor."

Pulitzer Harbor... Forsi's heart moved, she put down her wine glass, and caught the letter thrown by Xio.

In front of her friend, she opened all the letters seemingly calmly, and found that one of them was indeed sent by her teacher Dorian Gray Abraham:

"...Calderon City is a very special place in the depths of the spirit world. I can't confirm its origin. I only know that it is very dangerous. A demigod once entered and never came out again...You will give the specific spirit When selling boundary coordinates to that party member, it is necessary to remind him..."

Mister "World" is aiming at such a dangerous spiritual city? Fors stared at the letter paper in her hand, her eyes slightly widened.

…………

The "Red Gloves" team that had arrived at the next Eastern Balam city joined the local Nighthawks and occupied an office of the opponent.

"Everyone rests for a long time, and starts to act in the early morning." Soest took out his pocket watch, opened it and glanced at it.

This time they are going to attack a hidden stronghold of the Spiritual Cult, find more information about the man-made death plan, and dig out another group of enemies hidden in Backlund.

As for the information obtained from Ulika, it has already been sent back to Backlund in the form of a telegram, so they don't need to worry about the follow-up processing. After all, they are not the only "Red Gloves" team, Backlund's local nighthawks are even more It is numerous and powerful.

Leonard, Daly and the others were about to find places to rest, when a nighthawk with some Eastern Balam blood came in with a piece of paper and said:

"There is a new telegram from Backlund."

Soest reached out to take the paper, unfolded it for a few seconds, and said with a solemn expression:

"Gehrman Sparrow reappeared, using divination to confirm that he is himself."

Gehrman Sparrow... Leonard was not surprised by this result, because he knew from Dawn Dantès that his former colleague Klein Moretti was still alive.

He asked curiously:

"What did Gehrman Sparrow do again?"

Soest looked around and said seriously:

"He boarded the 'Black Tulip' and transformed Hell Admiral 'Ludwell' into his secret puppet."

"Admiral of Hell?"

"Ludwell?"

"Secret Puppet?"

The "Red Gloves" couldn't hide their astonishment, and even Leonard Mitchell was extremely surprised.

You know, the "Admiral of Hell" Ludwell, who wears the ring left by the god of death, has the highest bounty and the strongest strength among the seven pirate generals. He is recognized as the first person under the "Four Kings". It can be compared, but Gehrman Sparrow was able to turn him into a secret puppet on his ship, surrounded by his undead army and many subordinates!

——Although they don't know much about "Faceless Man" and "Puppet Master", just the term "Secret Puppet" can make people intuitively know that the ending of "Admiral of Hell" Ludwell may be better than death more miserable.

He is so strong? Was he in need of a demigod ritual after he sneaked into the Chanis Gate of St. Samuel's Church? Leonard gradually fell silent and did not ask any more questions.

At this time, Soest took the initiative to say:

"According to the crew members who escaped from the 'Black Tulip', there was no battle at that time. Gehrman Sparrow boarded the ship with another man. As soon as 'Admiral Hell' Ludwell saw each other , gave up resistance, prostrated himself on the deck, called the 'Death Consul', and then allowed Gehrman Sparrow to turn himself into a secret puppet."

"Death Consul..." Leonard subconsciously turned his head and looked at Daly Simone.

In his mind, this Sequence 5 of the "Corpse Collector" path should be clear about what "Death Consul" represents.

Daly let out a "huh", shook her head and said:

"I only know that in the past Balam Empire, the people who ruled the real world were descendants of the 'Reaper', known as the 'Death Consul'."

"The leader of the royal faction of the Keling Church has never called himself the 'Death Consul'." Another "red glove" Cindy said doubtfully.

This is relatively public information within the Nighthawks. Those who have reached Sequence 7 or above, or joined the "Red Gloves", are eligible to read it.

As for the Artificial Death faction, no one would call themselves the "Death Consul".

"Who knows? Maybe the Spiritual Cult has split and multiplied again, and there is an additional 'Death Consul' faction." Daly responded casually at first, and then said thoughtfully, "Gehrman Sparrow has a mysterious origin, The purpose of sneaking into Chanis Gate is unknown, maybe it is really related to the Spiritual Cult."

The Spiritual Cult has always been the main target of the Evernight Church, and the conflict between the two sides is extremely deep.

This sentence immediately reminded Leonard Mitchell, because he knew that Gehrman Sparrow was Klein Moretti, and he joined a secret organization that used tarot cards as symbols and worshiped "The Fool" , at most have a cooperative relationship with the Lingjiao Mission.

"The current factions of the Spiritual Order do not have a 'Death Consul'...'Admiral of Hell' Ludwell can almost confirm that he is the 'arm' of the Spiritual Order, and dealing with him is equivalent to dealing with the Spiritual Order...

"Dwayne Dantès once said that the members of that secret organization come from different places and have different purposes... Klein's purpose is revenge. Will there be one whose purpose is to attack the Spiritual Sect and gradually recruit them? They, self-centered resurrection or re-creation of death?

"Since Dwayne Dantès, an undead monster that survived the Fourth Era, exists, it is normal for that secret organization to have an ancient 'Death Consul'. Maybe his corresponding Tarot card is 'Reaper'!" For a while, Leonard felt that he had grasped the truth.

Then, he thought of some details:

Dwayne Dantès is an undead monster that survived the Fourth Epoch;

He knows the southern continent well;

He recently left Backlund, and his whereabouts are currently unknown!

Leonard was startled. Taking advantage of the discussion among his teammates, he picked up his teacup, covered his mouth, and whispered to himself:

"Old man, is Dwayne Dantès the 'Death Consul'?"

Pallez Zarathustra said with a slight smile in his old voice:

"no.

"The 'Death Consul' of the Balam Empire is not only a status title, but also the name of the Sequence 2 of the 'Reaper' pathway at that time."

Sequence 2... That secret organization has an angel of Sequence 2... Leonard shrank his eyes and whispered again:

"Why are you sure that Dwayne Dantès is not the 'Death Consul'? Because he is not an angel?"

Pallest laughed and said:

"No, the reason is very simple. You have seen the portrait of the real 'Death Consul'. When you nighthawks investigated the 'Welch suicide case', you may have even had contact with him.

"He is a teacher in the History Department of Hoy University, Ards Eggers."

Azik Eggers... Leonard was startled for a moment, and then suddenly realized.

He finally understood why Klein Moretti was able to come back to life after death, and why he was able to join that secret organization symbolized by tarot cards, and he usually didn't see anything too special about it!

The reason is that there is a member of a secret organization behind Klein, and the corresponding Tarot card is:

"grim Reaper"!
