"Your Highness."

"..."

"His Royal Highness Vaughn."

"…………busy?"

"Your Highness, please forgive my audacity—have you never lived as a human? Are you a born mythical creature?"

"You are indeed very courageous."

"You're overrated. Compared with the lack of humanity, you are more like learning how to be a human being from scratch, so I have such a bold guess... Oh, only I think so, I am willing to keep a secret for you, maybe you need A teacher, I can teach you how to play human."

"You want to save yourself in this way?"

"So, let's start with the most basic social interaction first? Look, how grand and gorgeous the banquet is tonight. People are indulging in the bosom of good wine, food and beauties. You are resting outside alone, how out of place."

"Then what do you think I should do?"

"Please invite me to a dance. Your Highness, if you think the ballroom is too noisy, it will be under this month. This is what I want."

Edward looked at the thing Klein handed him, and said with great interest: "This is an extremely rare item."

"Where did you get it?"

Klein put on the napkin and was about to start with the delicious food just brought in front of him. Hearing this, he thought for a while and decided to answer honestly: "I got it from a bishop of the Church of the Mother Earth. Looking for someone in the circle who can help him solve the problem, I helped him and got this key as payment. Is there anything wrong with it?"

"There's nothing wrong with it, but it's fun."

Edward finished looking at the ordinary brass-colored key, and instead of returning it to Klein, put it aside: "There should be a curse in it, I guess, is it to make the sense of direction worse or to get lost? Kind of curse? In fact, this curse is just the most superficial negative effect of this key, and unlocking is not its real usage."

"Is that so?" Hearing that the master key has other uses, and that the other party didn't show any intention of taking it for himself, Klein couldn't help becoming curious, "Mr. Edward, what is its real effect?"

"The door." Edward did not answer him, but asked another question, "Do you know the door?"

This is a specific!Klein immediately understood that he was asking about "Mr. Door", well, He knew that I could read Roselle's diary, so it's not surprising that I could understand this knowledge... Klein replied: "I know, the diary Mentioned the communication between the Great Emperor and him."

"I also saw his diary. There are indeed many references to Mr. Men. I'm surprised that he can talk so much."

Edward didn't explain it, but Klein naturally interpreted "that" as "Mr. Door".He fiddled with the sliced ​​meat in Fenebo noodles with a fork, and was not in a hurry to put it in his mouth, but explained in more detail: "This key contains Mr. Men's spirituality, if it is not a high-sequence Abraham family The legacy of the strong, it should be some unlucky low-sequence Extraordinary who lost control of his own spirituality and died in the raving of the full moon, with a high probability of failure in promotion."

"It is precisely because of Mr. Door's spiritual involvement that this key has the effect of 'opening all doors'.The combination of spirituality and Extraordinary characteristics condensed into the shape of a key.This is also a kind of camouflage, and its real use should be to release the spiritual power in it, and use pollution and ravings to affect the enemy, um, a one-time small extraordinary time bomb. "

This sounds like range-type mental damage, but I still need a key more than a time bomb... But this will be my escape card. After all, I am already familiar with all kinds of raving pain, but the enemy will definitely not I would think... Possessing such a secret Extraordinary item is worth at least a few hundred pounds, but I have also put in effort.Klein was slightly moved, but not completely moved. He looked at the skeleton key with fiery eyes: "Then how can we release the spirituality in it?"

"It just takes some moderate external force to break its shell."

Edward handed the key to Klein: "You are a Seer, and you currently have no direct means to destroy it, so you need to adapt accordingly. If you are a "Warrior" or "Hunter", or even a "Sailor", when Sequence 7 It should have the power to crush it directly. "

"So that's it." He understood, "Thank you for letting me know."

"Just the little things."

Although it may indeed be an insignificant matter, and I may be able to get the answer through careful divination on the gray fog in the future, but letting an angel tell me personally, this is a treatment that no amount of money can buy... Klein I was jumping with joy, and suddenly understood how flattered the other members were when I played the role of "The Fool" in the Tarot Club, and said some "common sense of the extraordinary world" in an understatement.

For the next few minutes, neither of them spoke, quietly enjoying the delicious lunch served at the Cragg Club.

The pollution hidden in this little key is too little, at most it can pollute one or two people of low-medium sequence, and there is a high probability that they will not die on the spot, and it is impossible for them to assimilate into the moon's followers... But I haven't noticed it The ties between the bloodlines of the Abraham family are so strong.To be able to let His ravings and pollution fall on the earth with just one low-sequence promotion without going through any prayer rituals. Although it is rare, it is indeed the fastest, easiest and least noticeable way. I should have done a lot at that time Watch out for Benjamin.If they really knew that their ancestors were floating on the moon, even if they knew that Bethel was hopeless, they would still pin their hopes on the Seven Gods and try to bring him back to the earth, right?
If it wasn't for my not intending to expose myself to them for the time being, it wouldn't be impossible to help the moon a little and make Bethel Abraham lose his ability to resist.This is just a piece of cake for me, but unfortunately the moon has limited ability on the earth and cannot come up with a bargaining chip that can impress me.

"...By the way, I haven't seen you these days. Are you busy with detective work?"

"No, rather than saying that the life of a detective is busy, it's better to say that the life of a low-sequence Extraordinary like me is too colorful."

The other party is not an official Extraordinary, and he probably doesn't have much interest in the bottom layer of the Extraordinary world, so Klein briefly talked about his experiences in the past few days, and changed the name and time of the person in it: "I want to participate in the extraordinary world. During the assembly, I also need to take over some protection work commissions, go out for a walk at night, and bump into murder scenes or some people who believe in death hold spirit seance ceremonies... Haha, Backlund is really interesting."

As he thought, the angel of the abyss was really not interested in these things, but he still listened to his narration conscientiously.

The two chatted without saying a word. When the meal was over and the waiter came to collect the plate, Klein was about to get up when he suddenly felt a strange coldness coming from his feet.The waiter looked left and right suspiciously, and went to check whether the fire in the fireplace was strong.Klein quietly turned on his Spirit Vision, and saw that a small space beside the deck suddenly became distorted. An invisible but small animal appeared from there tremblingly, placing the letter in its mouth on the Edward's hand, backed away tremblingly.

...The reason why it was trembling was because even Klein could tell that the little animal didn't dare to raise its head from beginning to end.

The coldness disappeared, and Edward naturally picked up the letter—a piece of paper that was folded twice—and glanced at it.

"I have already left the northern continent and took a passenger ship to the islands of the Sunya Sea. I left the seaport of Bansi after twelve o'clock last night."

"It's not a normal night here, but I can't feel what's going on, maybe you need to come and see for yourself."

"Richard Ernst"

"Ps: Teacher, it was my decision to ask Riel to help deliver the letter, because it is really too expensive and too slow to send a letter from the sea to the North Continent."

Klein looked at Edward with a serious expression at first, frowning slightly, and then became speechless.

"...I laughed, my student couldn't pay the postage when he was away from home, so he summoned someone else's courier to help deliver the letter. I suspect that he is using this method to cry poorly to me. Heh, I just gave him a sum of money." Edward He reached out and tapped the small animal messenger on the place where it was probably the head, and pushed it back to the spirit world, "Actually, it costs one pearl to send a message, and I remember that he never paid for it."

It turns out that some couriers still need to be paid for sending letters?Klein smacked his lips inwardly, feeling that the skeleton courier who came to work hard as soon as the copper whistle blew instantly became kind and amiable.

He didn't want the topic to stay on money, so he asked a question that he wanted to know a long time ago: "Mr. Edward, do you know how to remove the pollution on Extraordinary characteristics?"

The letter in his hand spontaneously ignited, and the ashes consciously floated into the trash can by the wall.Edward's eyes fell on Klein. He used his own inspiration to perform a divination very quickly, and after coming to the conclusion of "useless", he decided not to consider this issue as a condition of the transaction.

"I know," He said, "There is a price to be paid to answer this question. If you want me to help you solve it, there will be a price to pay as well."

Hearing this, Klein was not only not disappointed, but heaved a sigh of relief—that's right!An angel's words of answering every question in front of him are too outrageous, and even a little scary.Only such a form can make people feel at ease. Doesn't one's own Tarot Society also pursue "equivalent transactions"?He was already very satisfied with getting this answer. The only question was whether he would be able to get paid to move the other party in the future. Klein only dared to think about what an angel on earth needed.

He felt that as long as he knew the method, there was no need to ask the other party to solve it. Through the Tarot Club and improving his own strength, he would definitely have the opportunity to solve the problem by himself without paying two rewards.

Klein thought for a while before opening his mouth carefully: "If I want to know the method, what should I pay as a price?"

Edward looked at him in surprise. Most people would not think of such a question. If Klein not only asked the question but also wanted to know the result, then there is a high probability that he does have a contaminated Beyonder characteristic in his hand... Could it be? Does he really have some secret organization?Is there a demand in the organization to find a way, or is he just trying to figure things out for himself?

"This method is not very expensive, but the solution is difficult." He said, "...the easiest way, you can give money directly, four thousand pounds."

So expensive!

Why, as an angel, you can always talk about money so naturally!If I had been this calm when playing The Fool, my image would have been ruined long ago!Klein retreated tactically, but he was only surprised for a few seconds before thinking about whether to pay.

No, no, think about it carefully, it's not that expensive...

Four thousand pounds was a huge sum that he would not have dared to think of a month ago, but after he came to Backlund, he spent like water. Miss "Justice" hired Mr. A of the Aurora Society to assassinate the ambassador and spent 7 pounds. It cost a thousand pounds to hire Miss Sharron as a bodyguard... This price is not unacceptable, I can afford it, and now there is only Sequence [-], there is one promotion before the need for "Pure Black Eye", it is entirely possible to send I have saved up money, but since I don’t need it now, there is no need to buy the plan early. I only have a few hundred pounds on hand now, so I can’t spend it before warming it up...

"I understand." Klein regained his composure and got up to leave. "Thank you very much! I'm going back and thinking about it."

Edward didn't say much. After seeing Klein off, he returned to the club and asked the waiter to open a single room, and wrote a brief note to Richard.Opening the door of the spirit world, the demon messenger named Riel has not gone far, it stands respectfully in the corner of the door waiting to be summoned.Edward handed the note to it, and out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught a glimpse of some flames flickering behind the mist of folded historical fragments in the spiritual world. They were in pairs, some distance from the ground, and their movements seemed to be running and jumping.

"...Hounds of Fulgrim? They are rarely seen leaving the Mists."

"A high-sequence person from the mysterious three paths passed by here just now? Could it be Zaratul? He seems to have never attracted them."

The Angel of the Abyss searched around, but did not see any mystical trajectory or hidden changes, and the dogs of Fulgrim with burning eyes also disappeared into the distant mist one after another.Edward didn't take it too seriously, he left the spirit world, closed the door again, and quickly forgot about it.
