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

Chapter 269 New Business and New Tasks

555
Tingen City, inside the Raphael Cemetery.

Although the afternoon sun is quite strong, many places here are still dark and cold.

Leonard was standing in front of a grave, quietly watching the stele.

The sky was sunny, and the corner of the cemetery was quiet and cool. Leonard Mitchell suddenly lifted the shovel that was stuck beside him.

The two piles of soil gradually increased, and the tomb was exposed little by little. People occasionally passed by around, but they didn't notice it. It seemed that what happened here was just a dream.

Finally, Leonard gave up the shovel, bent down, stretched out his hands, and grasped the edge of the coffin lid.

With a sudden force, he lifted the heavy wooden cover, and found that the thick and long iron nails had fallen off at some point, and there was nothing in the dark coffin.

Nothing at all!

Leonard maintained the half bow of his body, quietly watching this scene, without making any extra movements for a long time, as if he had turned into a stone statue.

……

a few hours ago.

In "East Balam Veterans Club".

"...This is a place full of honor, and I deeply admire your efforts in East Balam." Klein looked at Councilor Macht while wearing a badge with a number on the back, "If I want to contribute to this place To make some contributions, who should I go to?"

Councilor Macht pointed to the front desk girl and said:
"Just give it to her.

"She'll record it and post it on the bulletin board over there."

Klein nodded lightly and said:

"Ok."

He immediately turned his head and asked Richardson, the valet, to take out the prepared 500 pounds in cash.

After donating, Klein followed Congressman Macht through the ornately decorated hall, and came to a room that looked like a living room, while his personal servant Richardson was left in the outside lounge, where there were snacks, black tea and coffee.

In the small room, under the introduction of Macht, Klein met five military officers who were either retired or active. Besides a member of the House of Commons, the highest status was Calvin, who had an epaulette as a colonel. He was currently working in the Loen Ministry of Defense. The specific position is unknown.

And as far as Klein knows, if the military can have a colonel rank quasi-senior, there is a high probability that they will be Extraordinary, and they may belong to the middle rank!

Macht, Calvin, and the others quickly chatted. Klein didn't forcefully intervene, but listened to their exchange carefully, occasionally echoing a sentence or two.

In such a relaxed and leisurely atmosphere, Calvin suddenly turned his head, looked at Dwayne Dantès and said:

"I heard that you used to be active in West Balam?"

The colonel had a donkey's face, but it was not funny at all, and his eyes were rather deep.

Klein responded with a smile:

"Yes, it's even more chaotic than East Balam."

Calvin laughed and said:

"Of course, the Intis made too many mistakes there."

He paused and continued to ask:

"How is your relationship with the Intis people there?"

Klein didn't quite understand the other party's purpose, so he said bravely:
"It's okay, they're all greedy."

In fact, he didn't know any of them. He only heard a few names and corresponding deeds from Anderson.

Calvin nodded and asked another question:
"Are you familiar with the tribes there, the rebels there?"

"...Knowing the part." Klein responded vaguely.Although the rebel army is the Rose School of Thought and the Church of Death, the Dark Saint said that the "Angel of War" went to support, and the "Angel of War" Medici had indeed met him...

Colonel Calvin said:
"In order to protect the interests of the country, our soldiers fought against the army of the Balam Empire in the far south, while the greedy and weak people of Intis appease the notorious Highland Rebel Army and their cult organization. Disgraceful."

Another officer couldn't help scolding:
"Those slutty bastards don't have the quality of a soldier at all!"

"Do you think they can escape expulsion and war when our troops fall back? How foolish."

This is the reason why the lips are dead and the teeth are cold... When the aborigines and the rebel army unite, the army of the Northern Continent will not be able to achieve a united front, so they may be defeated one by one. At first, Ruen had two true gods, and Intis also had two. bit...

Klein listened silently, echoed a few words from time to time, and figured out some of the current situation. Then, when several officers were tired of scolding and took a break, he asked very seriously:
"The soldiers are working hard on the front line. Thanks to them, I can live a relatively peaceful life, enjoy food and dances. Sir, what should I do to help them?"

At this moment, Calvin's emotions had calmed down. He smiled, picked up the red wine, and took a sip.

During this process, no one else, including Congressman Macht, spoke.

Putting down his wine glass, Calvin looked at Dawn Dantès again and said:

"Your character is admirable."

"It's like this. Our young people are working hard in the southern continent where the climate is hot, the environment is bad, and the conditions are backward. As elders, we should give them some help and supplies."

"Hehe, this matter was led by a noble lady who cared about the safety of the soldiers. It was originally just a few families who wanted to send something to their juniors, but I didn't expect more and more people to participate. Finished."

"There are important daily items inside, food that reminds people of their homeland, and invaluable treasures such as family letters full of concern. The quantity is huge, and we are a little worried about entrusting it to the country's maritime postal industry or the comprador company of the Southern Continent. .I don’t know if you are willing to help us to send these not expensive but precious enough items to the soldiers on the front line through your connections. Of course, this matter has certain risks. If you are caught in the southern continent, We will only try to redeem items for juniors."

This...before Balam announced the restoration of the country, the Southern Continent had always been a comfortable place to make money. As long as you beat the tribes and rebels casually, you can add luster to your resume. The juniors of these officers must be there...

Now that the war broke out, the juniors of their family are in danger. Ask me about my connections in the rebel army. I am afraid that I plan to bring back the juniors of my family to save their lives... Although I am not familiar with West Balam at all. There are no contacts there, but I can know the situation of the battle in advance through the members of the Aurora Society there, arrive when it is safe, and leave after sending the items... There is not much to gain from this matter, (for others) There is still some danger, but if it is done smoothly, Dawn Dantès will suddenly gain a huge amount of favor in the upper class of Loen...

Klein's heart moved, and he deliberately showed joyful and contradictory emotions:

"I haven't done anything like this, but if I can help them, I'm very willing to try."

Calvin laughed and said:

"Don't rush to make a decision, this is a very important thing that deserves serious consideration."

"Just tell Macht your answer within this week."

Klein secretly heaved a sigh of relief, smiled and nodded:

"Ok."

Time goes back to the present.

In the factory of Aurora Society.

Klein found a place to sit in the office of the Dark Saint, who was talking with Miss Maria whom he happened to know.

Maria's appearance really shocked Klein. During the Capin incident, he had pitied the head of the charity foundation branch who had been infiltrated by Aurora Society undercover agents, but he didn't expect that he would lead the rebellion.

"That sealed item tends to kill the user? It doesn't matter, I can block it... The teleportation distance will not be too far, and the coordinates are this." Maria took out a piece of paper from the pocket of her jacket, on which was A simple map, some distance away from the mouth of the Tussock River, "Our boat will stop here, as long as it goes well, we will be able to move all the children away soon..."

122 children need to be transferred, which is actually a bit too much.

Even if these children lined up in a long line, it would take a while to walk through the door one by one, not to mention that this sealed item has the negative effect of "randomly killing users", so it cannot be used for a long time, otherwise the negative effect will become stronger and stronger .

"If you divide them into a group of 10-15 people, you need to transfer about a dozen times, and you need to be accompanied each time, otherwise the children will be vulnerable to the attack of the sealed item."

"I have no problem, I can take turns protecting with other Extraordinary..."

"It will take about two hours..."

Klein thought about the supplies that Calvin and other officers wanted to pass on through him, so he didn't plan to get involved in this matter.

After a while, Maria finished talking with the dark saint and sat down to rest. The dark saint sealed the document and shouted:
"X, it's your turn."

"What is the way you obtained it, is it convenient to say it directly?"

Klein stood up, glanced at Maria and Mr. Z, and said indifferently:
"can."

"I got the formula for 'Sailor' Sequence 4."

He still remembered that a long time ago, when offering a bounty on the life of Ambassador Baker Lang, Mr. A gave two requirements: one was [-] pounds, and the other was "Manipulator", "Darkless One", "Disaster Priest" and " The potion formula of the "Prophet" can be incomplete.

The dark saint was a little moved, and then refused:
"It's good to see you're thinking about the organization, but we've already filled the recipe for adjacent pathways."

what?
Adjacent pathway?That is to say, all four items are completed? !

Klein almost popped his eyeballs out—it was indeed more than half a year since Mr. A sought the formula—he controlled the facial features that wanted to run around, and smiled twice as usual, as if he didn't care at all, and said lightly Say:

"Then what about Sequence 4 of the 'Lawyer' pathway?"

Thank you, "Black Emperor Card"!
It's amazing, he actually obtained two demigod-level formulas...

The dark saint leaned back slightly tactically, and gradually understood why the other party could become the favored one of the Lord.And Maria, who was resting on the sofa on the other side, raised her head abruptly.

There was a longing light in her eyes, but soon, the light disappeared.Maria, who had only digested one-third of the Sequence 5 potion, had no money and no chance to collect materials, laughed at herself, and continued to do what she was doing.

The Dark Saint was moved. Like the 'Arbitrator', these two channels monopolized by the royal family can only find Sequence 9 and Sequence 8 in the outside world, and the Pilgrim Sect only has the first 5 sequences, which is already quite rare.Perhaps the "leader" Edward Vaughn would know, but no one dared to ask, and it would be difficult for the forces of the Aurora Society to infiltrate Loen's national intelligence agency.Even if this formula is not very useful for oneself, it can be dismantled into incomplete versions and sold to other organizations, other wild Extraordinary, for profit.

He was a little interested, and asked in a low voice:

"The complete formula? Are there other sequences? Incomplete ones are fine."

"What I got is the complete Sequence 4 formula. The name of the potion is 'Fallen Earl', and there is nothing else for now." Klein thought for a while, and decided not to sell the other Sequence formulas for the time being, but sell one first to see the price.

Fallen Earl... Maria whispered this name, and felt that it had nothing to do with her while her heart was moving.

Analyzing the name of the potion according to the "acting method", this should really be an earl, with a similar identity, status and majesty, or at least has a close connection with the name "earl" in the minds of the public—she How could a member of a secret organization, the head of a charitable foundation, become such a person?
Even if he went to the Southern Continent to start shaping his identity, it would take at least several years to initially stabilize his image.

It seems that the demigod and himself are doomed to have no hope.Maria adjusted her mentality in advance.

Klein took out his pen and began to write the formula. The Dark Saint took a gold seal and hung it on the formula paper Klein handed over.

Infused with spirituality, he solemnly and slowly sealed the seal. The seal glowed with golden light, printing a golden pattern on the paper.

"True and effective."

The Dark Saint put away his seal and looked at Klein with some joy between his brows:
"You can choose a reward. Your formula can be exchanged for at least 3 gold pounds, but the funds need to be turned around. If you choose gold pounds, it will take about a week to get it."

Huge sum of money, the demigod formula is indeed priceless.But recently, there is no shortage of money, and there is no need to make frequent donations to the Church of the Night as before. The tens of thousands of pounds on hand are completely enough to maintain the rich man's personality and daily expenses.

"Can I exchange spiritual materials?" Klein asked.

The Dark Saint nodded: "Yes, but I need to identify the rarity of the material you want."

Klein immediately recalled his formula in his mind - the main material is the main eye of the trick monster, the real soul body of the spiritual predator, the auxiliary material is 200 ml of the blood of the trick monster, and the dust of the spiritual predator is 30 grams, 10 grams of red birch bark, a piece of golden vine, and a self-made rubber mask the size of a finger—probing tentatively:
"A trick monster?"

"Scheming monsters." The dark sage said the name once. He looked at the bookshelf, and an old book on the bookshelf automatically flew up and landed in his hand, and turned the pages backwards with a clatter.

"An extraordinary creature that can imitate the appearance of other creatures. It is more aggressive, but it is at the middle-sequence level and is rare... Is this what his path needs? Mr. Z said that he should have a relatively high level of disguise, so It seems that it should be due to the specialness of the potion and the path, not relying on extraordinary items or its own camouflage technology..."

The Gloomy Sage read the introduction to the "Deceitful Monster" in this notebook at a glance, preliminarily judged the value of this extraordinary creature, and then said to Klein:
"A treacherous monster in normal state is equivalent to a Sequence 5 Extraordinary, and its number is rare, making it difficult to capture."

"I will search from the warehouses in various regions first, and I can't give you an answer immediately."

It seems that there is hope. The family background of the Aurora Society is not inferior to that of the church. It would be great if we could find one main material and one auxiliary material just like this... Klein smiled from the bottom of his heart, and the corner of his mouth slightly raised. :"OK."

Then, Klein thought for a while, and maintained the calm and slightly arrogant tone of "Mr. X" and said:
"Your Excellency, if I need to go to the Southern Continent to complete some private commissions, can I invite a guide from the organization?"

Klein believes that the secret organization definitely doesn't mind members going out to do some private work. Being able to receive it is an affirmation of the strength of the members. If it is done, it will definitely give the organization more reputation—of course, it may also need to give the organization some share.

"Let's sign and seal first."

The Dark Saint quickly drafted a contract, wrote down the terms of exchange between the two parties, and added "If there is no trick monster, replace it with other items that Mr. X needs."Klein took two steps forward, and after confirming that there were no loopholes in the contract, he nodded and took half a step back, waiting for the Dark Saint to seal it with the golden seal.

Don't want to sign?I don't plan to draw a pledge, can even fingerprints be changed?The gloomy sage stamped a golden mark on the corner of the contract with his seal, and put it in the document bag.

Then, he answered Klein's question:

"Your Excellency the great 'Angel of War' is proclaiming the mighty power of the Lord on the South Road. If you need it, I can introduce the soldiers of the 'Red War'. Extraordinary members of the Jagged Cross will lead the way for you."

This is equivalent to directly looking for the rebels, right?I will be very safe, but this will make it difficult to distribute items to Loen's soldiers, and the religiously strong "War Red" probably won't let Loen in the army go because of Dwayne Dantès Noble boy... Klein thought for a few seconds, then politely refused:
"Your Excellency, I am not going to intervene in war."

The dark sage understood what he meant, and said, "You may need someone who is familiar with the conditions of the sea and the cities of the southern continent. I will contact her first, and you need to tell me the approximate time of action."

she?Klein felt a little strange, he nodded and agreed: "Okay."

"correct."

The dark sage reminded: "Don't forget the responsibilities the Lord has entrusted to you."

Supporting the survivors of the Eastern Continent... Klein nodded seriously as Frank's mushrooms and the face of "The Sun" appeared in his mind.

After supplementing some details with the Dark Saint, Klein returned to No. 160 Berklund Street contentedly, and took back the paper man who sat in the study and read the newspaper.

Then, as usual, he finishes his dinner, rests, takes a bath, washes up, and goes to bed.

In the middle of the night, Klein suddenly woke up from a dream. He saw himself sitting in the living room in the form of Dwayne Dantès. A young man with black hair, green eyes and red gloves was holding the window frame with his hands. Turned in.

……

Edward paced on the red sea, the circular ripples under his feet continued to spread outward.

He stepped on the spine of the dead demon, passed through the ribs that unfolded like a tunnel, and pressed the brim of his hat against the white sun in the sky.

The sea of ​​blood vibrated, as if the volcano below was erupting one after another, a huge tsunami was brewing, the white sun blinked, and the skeletons in the sea of ​​blood seemed to have been dead for thousands of years, opening their decaying mouths to drink the sea of ​​blood, Expand the shrunken remaining flesh!

Edward looked down at his feet.

The sharp claws from the abyss grabbed him from the bottom of the sea. The height of a human being was only as high as the nails above, but Edward looked at them like a human looked at the ants under his feet.

He grabbed the sky with one hand, and the white sun exploded on the spot like a crushed eyeball, plunging the world into endless darkness.With the other hand, he used his cane across the sea to point towards the direction of the recovery of those giant skeletons, and the brewing tsunami disappeared quietly like being strangled by the throat.The end of the walking stick has not yet touched the monsters under the sea. Their bones are like a piece of paper being slowly kneaded into a ball, making a crackling sound like being overwhelmed, and being crushed bit by bit from the fingertips down. shattered into black powder in the shape of bones.

The sea of ​​blood surged, and they disappeared in the waves one after another.

Edward continued to walk forward, and a huge and ferocious monster floated up from the sea of ​​blood, but it just stopped in front of him.

"Won't you let me pass, respected Mother Tree of Desire?"

Edward took off his hat and pressed it to his chest, with a gentle smile on his lips.It's like visiting the owner, and it's like attending a funeral.

"You are already weakened, I can see it. You can't stop me, and I can see Fabuti's fate."

"He's dying."

"Soon, soon—a month, or two?"

"You're about to lose to me."
