Mystery: Those years when I was a foreign aid for the Aurora Club

Chapter 125 The Inescapable Invitation

"Give... call... voluntary..."

The store manager looked at Amon who was lying on the table talking in his sleep for a while, stretched out his hand and pushed him to wake him up.

Amon was forced to wake up, and there were still a few marks on his face that were pressed by his sleeves. He was still a little confused, and subconsciously asked the store manager: "Do you sell that 8 soli bracelet?"

"8 soli?" The store manager was happy, and put the wrapped gift box in Amon's arms, "I told you, the bracelet will be sold to you for 2 soli, and you don't need to pay such a high price."

"But wasn't there a lady who was willing to pay 12 soli just now?" Amon yawned, resentful, "You still agreed."

After hearing this, a big question mark appeared on the store manager's forehead. He looked around the store, then looked at Amon who was confused, and asked cautiously, "Are you dreaming? I want to buy it this afternoon. This bracelet is only for you, no ladies."

"After you bought the wind chime and pendant, you suddenly said that you were a little sleepy, and then you walked to the rest area and started to sleep on your stomach."

Ok?Amon finally woke up, looked around, and was surprised to find that it was already dark.

And he went out around four o'clock, and actually slept for more than an hour.There is indeed only one person in the store.I felt like I had a vague dream just now. In the dream, a person in black said something to me, but I have almost forgotten it now.He looked at the box in his hand again, and with his spiritual intuition, he confirmed that all the things he bought were inside.

If a high sequence suddenly falls asleep or has a strange dream, it is best not to ignore it lightly. This is likely to be some revelation or prediction.But Amon subconsciously felt that it was better not to think about it, so he quickly put the conversation with the store manager behind him.

I bought everything that should be bought, and there was nothing I wanted. Amon yawned again, got up and said goodbye to the store manager, and left the jewelry store.

……

"Is it true, Mr. Hanged Man, that you sailed into a magical red sea?"

Miss "Justice" Audrey was very interested in Alger's words, her body maintained a dignified sitting posture, but her back couldn't help leaning forward slightly, almost leaving the state of "audience"; on the other side, "Sun" Derrick also listened intently to the extraordinary stories outside the land abandoned by the gods, trying hard to find the correspondence in the land abandoned by the gods; while "magician" Forsi showed both curiosity and hesitation.

She was deeply attracted by the story described by the other party, and couldn't wait to write an adventure story that challenged imagination based on it, but she also knew that if it was really written like this, it would probably be sent to the editorial department That night, he was about to be taught by Extraordinary people to check the gas meter at his door.

This "gathering in front of the gods" is really beyond my imagination... It would be great if I could collect materials here and compile and publish them. I would like to share them with everyone... Forsi's heart itch.

The only thing that didn't respond was "The World", because "The Fool" also listened attentively and didn't try to manipulate it.

"The Hanged Man" Argel understood everyone's reactions, but Mister Fool's silence made him a little uneasy.He told everyone about his repeated dreams during this period to brainstorm, but he didn't expect everyone to listen to it as a story and listen to it with gusto.

Don't bother listening to the story... He took a peek at the calm god, and answered Audrey's question:

"Yes, in this dream, I sailed all the way and found a red sea."

"Then, my crew members gradually turned into demons, and I also became a demon. We were hostile to each other, as if we had forgotten that we were acquaintances, and only wanted to kill each other..." Argel roughly talked about the dream. In the confusion that ensued on board, the word demon was emphatically mentioned.

In a dream, seeing one's crew turned into demons from the perspective of a bystander is acceptable, but seeing a demon appearing with one's own face is absolute horror.After Alger woke up, he instinctively wanted to pray by chanting the command of the Lord of Storms, but when it reached his lips, he changed it to praying to Mister Fool, but Mister Fool didn't respond to him either.

Because Mister Fool was still lying in front of the house at that time.

"And then? How are you doing?" Audrey once again asked this question on behalf of everyone, and Mister Fool cast his eyes approvingly.

"Then..." Alger frowned, trying hard to recall the fragmented dream, "then...a huge rag doll...taught us a lesson? It defeated us all, tied us up, and let the boat move on. "

Ragdoll……? Miss "Justice" was stunned, and the many cute toys she had placed beside her bed appeared in her mind. For a moment, she felt that this dream like a horror drama had turned into a horror comedy.

Ragdoll?Klein was puzzled.

Ragdoll?Forsi was stunned, thinking that Mr. "The Hanged Man" was quite childlike.

Only Derrick "The Sun" thought carefully about what a rag doll is, and then suddenly said, "A 'rag doll' is a kind of toy, right? It's made of cloth, stuffed with things, for children Toy."

"Yes." Audrey replied.

Derrick scratched his head: "The City of Silver doesn't have that kind of filler called 'cotton', and the cloth is also very precious, and rag dolls only exist in the records... According to the records, there seems to be a mythical creature form that is a rag doll, But I don’t know if it’s what you’re talking about.”

After speaking, he looked at Mister Fool.Seeing the other party's approval, he manifested his own memory.

A cute figure with buttons for eyes and stuffed with cotton, it looks cute and feels good in the hand.

"That's right, although it can be made into many styles, this kind of toy is a rag doll." Audrey said with certainty.

Klein noticed the commentary in the ancient giant language next to him, and the screen shook slightly. This ancient language was translated into the common language of the Northern Continent, which won the heartfelt praise of everyone.

"Heterogeneous? Well, it is the prisoner, Miss Sharron and Maric's pathway, and the pathway of the Rose School of thought in the Southern Continent..."

Klein thought about it, looked at the "Hanged Man" who was also thinking about it, and thought maliciously: "The person who hired Mr. 'The Hanged Man' is a high-sequence expert of the Rose School of Thought, right? At least a demigod!"

If it was in his own body, the "Hanged Man" would already be sweating profusely.As soon as he was reminded by this information, he vaguely remembered that he had indeed encountered a ship of the Rose School of Thought at sea. The captain on it was at least the same Sequence 7 as himself. After that, he turned around and escaped at triple speed.

Alger didn't think he had the reputation and strength to scare away these fierce and crazy cultists, so there was only one suspect, and that was Hestin Ernst who was fishing on the side of the boat at that time!
Is he a demigod?And also a demigod of the "Prisoner" pathway?Since the lunatics of the Rose School of Thought ran away after seeing him, it means that he should not belong to the same group, and most likely belong to the declining "temperance school".

So the Ernst family is a branch of the Temperance Faction?Is doing charity to act as a need or to hide?If the other party is a demigod, then the lifespan should be very long, Histin is likely to be a pseudonym.

In the case of insufficient information, Alger made a bold guess along the way, thinking of the legendary founder of the foundation, a great philanthropist with almost no video and portrait records left, Mr. Richard Ernst.The date of birth and death of this philanthropist who was active in Roselle's time is unknown. It is said that he has the blood of the Southern Continent and has been assisted by Emperor Roselle.There are secret organizations claiming that he has not died yet, but has become a hidden great existence. The one who advocates this point of view is the "Tourism Sect" that works closely with the Ernst Foundation.

Alger thought of the small orphanage in Bayam City, which was managed by a Sequence 5 "janitor", and thought of the unidentified "man" whose behavior, food and clothing seemed to be that of a nobleman. Craftsman", and that good-natured Mr. Ernst who often invites himself to dinner.When he thought that the other party might be a demigod, and he always treated him so casually, and even tried to swindle some more money, Alger felt his scalp go numb and his body break out in a cold sweat.

However, this organization is relatively loose and very low-key, coupled with the many internal channels, it is impossible to tell whether it is a branch of the Temperance Faction.

Klein also had similar thoughts.

Temperance faction, it shouldn't be like the indulgence faction who killed people without reason. The mysterious strongman stopped Mr. "The Hanged Man" and his subordinates from killing each other, and made them forget about it afterwards. "Hanging people" they are good, they don't mean to do harm...

"Dear Mister Fool."

After talking about the dream that had troubled him for nearly a week, Alger stood up nervously and saluted the "Fool" above him: "This is all the information I can get from the dream."

"What do you think about this?"

The god covered by the gray mist smiled softly, and said calmly:
"nothing."

"It's over, and he wants you to keep it a secret."

Hearing this answer, "The Hanged Man" Alger heaved a sigh of relief.Judging from the fact that Mr. Ernst made him lose his memory, the other party obviously had no malicious intentions, and even had a little intention of doing them well.Alger didn't feel terrified, but rather relieved.

Because the other sailors obviously did not have similar dreams, and lived as usual.If they also had such a dream, they must go to the church to confess. If the church knows that they have encountered such a horrible thing, I am afraid that all the people in this boat will be imprisoned in the basement of the church, and they will never see the light of day.

If Mr. Ernst doesn't want him to know, then he "doesn't know". The more he knows, the easier it is to cause disaster.

"Thank you for your teaching."

Feeling that he had been thinking for a while, Alger hurriedly bowed to thank him, and at the same time asked: "How can I repay you?"

Mister Fool didn't take it seriously: "It's just a small matter."

Alger lowered his head even lower, he praised the fool in his heart, and sat down respectfully.

"However, your dream reminded me of something."

After Alger sat down, "The Fool" folded his hands and said with a light smile, "For example, 'temperance'."

control?The Temperance School split from the Rose School of Thought!They are the former state religion of the Highland Kingdom, a part that was split from the Church of the Bound God. They claim to inherit the orthodoxy and are close to the Church of the Seven Gods, which means they are not necessarily enemies. Mr. Fool is implying that I don’t need to be nervous...

Alger was even more grateful after completing the self-guided strategy.

After the story is told, what follows is the exchange of bits and pieces of information among the members.Klein sold the "Werewolf" feature for a thousand pounds. Mr. "Hanged Man" has the hair of a deep sea naga, and "The World" also made a request to find "Human Skin Phantom".When the meeting was drawing to a close, the god suddenly tapped the table with his fingers, attracting everyone's attention:

"And, another thing."

Everyone pricked up their ears, only to hear the god say lightly: "In contrast, there is a 'devil'."

"He is in Backlund right now, and my favored one encountered him by chance. The name of this demon—"

"—Edward Vaughan."

Edward Vaughan... While everyone else was thinking and remembering, Miss "Magician" was stunned for a moment, and her face suddenly turned pale.

Klein left the gray fog and sat quietly for a long time. After confirming that he was safe now, he suddenly heard someone knocking on the door of his house.

Klein turned his head and glanced at the steeple of the steam church outside the window.Instead of taking out the pendulum for divination, he planned the escape route after jumping out of the window within a second, put a few matches on the window sill, and then summoned up his courage, approached the door cautiously.

His heartbeat was suppressed to the lowest, he held his breath, and his feet were silent.The moment his hand grasped the doorknob, Klein's spirituality outlined the face of the visitor outside the door:

An old gentleman with a good temperament and strict dress.

stranger……

But I can't confirm whether it is a disguise, or an ability similar to "Faceless Man"... It should not be a demon, nor Edward Vaughan. If he wants to kill me, he probably only needs to knock on my door, and there is no need for such a costly disguise. Zhou Zhang.Besides Him, I actually have no other enemies or dangers recently... Klein thought about it seriously, and after divination "no danger" with the pendulum, he twisted the handle and opened the door.

"Hello."

"Hello, is this Mr. Sherlock Moriarty?"

"..." The smile on Klein's face couldn't hold back a little bit, because the identity certificate he used to rent the house was a fake name, and the other party gave his "real name" straight away. Obviously, he had done an investigation and came prepared.

The old gentleman, who was so serious that he couldn't laugh, seemed to see his concerns, and calmly spoke first: "Don't worry, Mr. Moriarty, I don't intend to do you any harm, I just want to invite you to meet a Meet my master."

This old gentleman is very rigorous in every move and has a very mysterious feeling. He is probably a Extraordinary, and he can drive a family of powerful Extraordinary, so there is no need to trick me into killing him... Klein did not let go Be vigilant and calmly ask: "Excuse me, is your master...?"

"If you decide to accept my master's invitation, I will tell the truth." The old butler obviously didn't intend to say it now.

Thinking of a powerful Extraordinary like you blocking my door, I seem to have no choice, right?Klein settled for the next best thing and chose a relatively tactful question: "Then why does your master seek me?"

The professional and rigorous butler didn't care about his scrutiny, and said with a polite smile:
"It's for your mutual friend with my master. Mr. Talim."

Ok?Could this be the big man Talim mentioned? ...invite me to investigate Talim's death?Could it be that there are some supernatural factors involved?I did doubt whether it would be Edward Vaughan who silenced him, but an ignorant ordinary person like Talim should not be... If it really has something to do with Edward Vaughn, then I will immediately decline and push it to The royal family... Klein pondered for two seconds and said:

"Your master asked me to go there because of Talim's death?"

"Yes, Talim is his friend, he is sad and confused by his death." The old butler spoke clearly.

Very good, from this point of view, the other party may be a person who values ​​affection. If the case involves my life, I should be able to withdraw smoothly... Klein subconsciously wanted to deny it, but in the end he could only nod:
"I'm not sure how much I can do for Talim."

"It's really a sad and regrettable thing." The old butler said sincerely, "Are you willing to accept my master's invitation?"

Is there any reason for me to refuse?That looks very suspicious!Maybe you killed him on the spot... Klein looked at the other party and said:
"I happen to have nothing to do this afternoon."

"Okay, Mr. Moriarty, please." The old butler bent slightly, stretched out his white-gloved right palm, and pointed to the carriage on the opposite side of the concrete road.

The "Sword of Judgment"...is the royal family, the Augustus family...

Hey, I have been avoiding contact with big people, but because of Talim's death, I have to face the person behind him... I don't know if this will attract attention or more in-depth background checks... I have to advance Make a plan, and be ready to give up the identity of this stronghold at any time... Also, get the characteristics of the human skin shadow and the hair of the deep sea naga as soon as possible, and be promoted to "Faceless Man" as soon as possible!In that way, my ability to resist risks has more than doubled!Klein put on his coat and hat, and when he walked towards the carriage with the royal coat of arms, he had already thought about the next steps.

At this time, the servant brought by the old housekeeper opened the car door for him.

Stepping on the thick brown-yellow carpet, looking at the wooden cabinets containing red wine, white wine, champagne, Ronzi, and Blackland, as well as the crystal-polished cups, Klein was a little restrained for a while, and found a window by the window. Sit down.

——Langzi refers to strong distilled liquor brewed from pure malt. There are many types, such as the favorite drink of sailors. It refers to the strong distilled alcohol fermented with other grains. Like Langzi, it belongs to the characteristics of Loen.

Watching the carriage drive through the wet street, Klein asked casually:
"To Queens?"

"No, my master is waiting for you at the Red Rose Manor on the outskirts of Queens." The old butler didn't hide anything.

It seems to be the royal family's manor... Klein thought for a while, then smiled and asked:

"Can you tell me the identity of your master now?"

The old butler's already straight back became even more straight, and his chin was raised:

"He is descended from the 'Founder,' the 'Protector,' he is the descendant of the 'Mighty,' and he is the fifth child of His Majesty, Earl of Rustin, His Royal Highness Prince Augustus of Edsac .”
