Part 2 The Faceless Man Chapter 194 The True Favorites
Inside the Harvest Church.
Crane gave Emlyn White a sideways glance, not bothering to spoil the peaceful atmosphere of the place, and asked rhetorically with a deliberately low, suppressed chuckle:
”Short of money?”
As soon as the words left his mouth, he felt as if he was asking the other party if he knew about Amway.
Emlyn was first slightly stunned, then snorted:
”Don’t insult the noble bloods with money!”
Klein instantly chortled, eyeing the tall and lanky Father Utravski in front of him, and said in a seemingly casual manner:
”As far as I know, those superbly handcrafted mannequins are not cheap, and can even be called expensive, especially the kind that is equal in height to a human.”
”……” Emlyn’s mouth opened in an attempt to retort, but ultimately failed to do so.
After a moment of silence, he coughed lightly and spoke with feigned disinterest:
”Tell me, what exactly is the favor you want me to do? I’m not a Blood who likes riddles.”
Without looking at the vampire beside him, Klein smiled to himself:
”A friend of mine is about to be promoted and needs to gather the appropriate extraordinary materials, I wonder if you can help?”
”Are you doubting the ability of a Blood Clan member?” Emlyn White said arrogantly, “Even if I don’t have it, I can still write and ask those more noble Excellencies.”
That’s what I want …… Klein instantly crackled in response:
”The brain mutation pituitary of the Thousand Faces Hunter, 100 milliliters of its blood, the human skin Phantom Properties, and five hairs of the Deep Sea Naga, as long as I can get any of these, I’ll pay you, depending on the price, and the cheaper the price is, the more I’ll pay you.”
He intentionally quoted the portion of auxiliary materials a bit more, lest there be any attrition.
Hearing this completely non-stuttering description, Emlyn White instantly had the feeling that he had fallen into the other party’s language trap.
He calmed down and said:
”Transcendent materials are paid at least 100 pounds, and auxiliary materials at least 10 pounds, although I’m not sure exactly what level the things you want are at, I believe that they certainly won’t be cheap or common, or else you wouldn’t be able to come to me for help.”
Very smart well …… Klein smiled and said:
”Deal!”
This instant, Emlyn White profoundly suspected that the reward he had demanded was too little.
So, he added another sentence:
”Mr. Detective, do you have a clue to disarm the mental suggestion?”
Seeing that Father Utravski at the altar was concentrating on his prayers, Klein said with a sideways glance at the vampire:
”I have the simplest solution.”
”What?” Emlyn White’s red eyes lit up.
”Defeat Bishop Utravski and snatch his ‘Nightmare of the Heart Candle’.” Klein heatedly laughed, “You should have enough strength after you rendezvoused with your parents, and the three Bloods are still afraid that they won’t be able to win against a ‘Knight of the Dawn’?”
The corner of Emlyn’s mouth twitched, and his expression collapsed with it:
”Lose.
”Can’t beat ……
”My father and mother were almost captured as well, that ‘Nightmare of the Heart Candle’ is very evil ……”
So you’ve already tried …… almost converted a family to Mother Earth …… Three Bloods didn’t beat Father Utrafsky? Father Utrafsky with the Nightmare Candle and the Blood Collector is so terrifying? Or are vampires too weak? However, all the rumors say that vampires are quite strong …… Klein said thoughtfully:
”Then you can write a letter to ask for the help of the more noble Excellencies, there should be no lack of strong people within your blood race.”
Emlyn White replied with a numb expression:
”They refused.”
Suddenly, he looked at Klein with hope:
”Can you beat Father Utravski? Or can your friend beat him?”
After obtaining the “Sun Brooch” and “Biotoxin Vial” and digesting a lot of magic potions, I originally thought that I could win against Father Utrafsky in my spiritual state, but I’m not so sure about what you just described, the “Nightmare Candle” is really that evil. Is the “Nightmare Candle” really that evil? This kind of seal seems to be very restraining to the spiritual body ah …… Klein shook his head rationally:
”No.”
He quickly changed the topic:
”Why did those noble excellencies of your blood race reject your request? It should be a simple favor for them.”
Emlyn White’s face turned like cooled ashes for a moment:
”They said that Father Utravski is a dependent of the ‘Mother Goddess of the Earth’, and that they don’t want to directly clash with each other, and that they are looking into other ways of disarming their psychological cues, such as going to the depths of the Sunia Sea, the Sea of Mists, and the Sea of Berserkers, and searching for those gargoyles that have lived in seclusion for a long time. ”
He added with a smile worse than tears:
”By the time they have researched it, by the time they have found the giant dragons of the psychic realm, perhaps I will already be a faithful believer of the ‘Mother Goddess of the Earth’ …… I am now feeling more and more that life is precious, and that the harvest is a blessing. ”
”A follower of Mother Earth? Father Utravski is a believer of Mother Earth? No wonder he can have so many magical items …… So it seems that as a strong pirate he suddenly converted to believe in the “Mother God of the Earth” is not so simple ah …… Klein first sighed, then a moment of fear. Then a moment of fear.
He almost agreed to Emlyn White’s request to try to defeat Father Utrafsky.
If I lose, I will probably be put in the basement and forced to be detained. If I win, I will have offended another deity. No, I can’t win at all. The dependents of the “Mother Goddess of the Earth” definitely have corresponding cards. ……
Klein wisely didn’t go any further into this topic, and once again looked straight at Father Utrafsky’s silhouette in the forefront and said:
”You could try to find an organization called the Society of Psychic Alchemy.”
Otherwise, you’ll have to wait for our Tarot Society’s Ms. Justice to become a psychiatrist, and by that time, maybe you won’t be able to break away from Mother Earth’s beliefs! …… Klein added silently.
As far as he was concerned, it would be the best thing if Emlyn White could also join the Psycho Alchemy Society, so that if Miss Justice encountered a situation within that organization, he would have another resource to help, and would not have to always call upon the trinity of Fools, Dependents, and Believers himself.
”The Psychological Alchemy Society? Never heard of it.” Emlyn shook his head dismissively, “Must be a hidden organization that hasn’t been around for long.”
”This organization has been around for a couple hundred years, at least.” Klein dismissed his claim.
”To the bloods with long lives, one or two hundred years is the same as just appearing not long ago, a hundred years may have passed since those noble excellencies slept.” Emlyn White said proudly.
Without waiting for Klein to speak, he turned his gaze forward and cleared his throat:
”Do you know how to contact that organization?”
Klein was about to reply that a doctor at the Tingen City Lunatic Asylum named Duster Guderian was a member of the Society of Mental Alchemy, but the words were retracted.
Being thought of by the “Real Creator”, it is better for me not to get involved with the people and things in Tingen, there is a certain risk of exposure, and once exposed, with the craziness of the Aurora Society, it will definitely not let Benson and Melissa go …… Klein shook his head slightly and said:
”I have only heard of this organization.
”You can write and ask the other Bloods.”
With a pang of disappointment, Emlyn White stopped mentioning the matter, glanced sideways at Klein, and let out a hey:
”I’m guessing your soon-to-be-promoted friend is yourself.”
Klein looked ahead with little concern and replied leisurely:
”Congratulations, you got it right.”
”…… “Emlyn White froze on the spot, this was completely different from the reaction he expected!
Noticing his change, Klein laughed lowly:
”Mr. White, in fact, the most suitable profession for you is not a pharmacist, but an actor.”
Emlyn was first stunned, then he arrogantly raised his head and said:
”I am a noble blood with depth and will not rely on my looks to make a living.”
You thought I was complimenting your handsomeness? Klein rose slowly and smirked:
”No, I meant that you have a talent for comedy.”
As Emlyn White’s expression froze, he squeezed out into the hallway and dropped a line:
”Don’t forget the commission.”
……
White Oak Street, Port Pritzker.
Forsyth Wall had arrived at the kingdom’s largest and most important port by steam train early in the morning and had booked his ticket for the return river cruise – which was comparatively quite a bit cheaper.
Breathing in the smell of the sea in the air, Voorhees saw a number of dockworkers in a hurry.
During the high season, the port was flooded with temporary workers looking for relatively good pay, and many of the poorer people who lived on the east side of Birkeland would come southeast in groups to walk the 60-odd kilometers on their feet, much like they did in the hops harvesting.
The roads were wider than quite a few neighborhoods in Bakerland, and the air quality was good, but it was a lot dirtier in relative terms …… Forsyth looked around and found the Fishermen’s Association, which was housed in a small, outdated building.
There were no twists and turns, and it was simple enough for her to meet Dorian Gray in one of the offices.
The gentleman was of medium build, yet had exaggerated arms, while his hair was fairly neatly combed, a far cry from the bird’s nest hairstyles of most of the association.
This should also be a bit of Abraham …… Forsyth briefly explained the purpose of the visit, and handed the other person the suicide note left by Lawrence together with the strange notebook and diamond-like extraordinary characteristics.
Dorian received these items with a complicated expression and opened the suicide note first.
After reading it carefully, he raised his head and looked at Voorhees with sincere blue eyes:
”Praise for your kindness and trustworthiness, Ms. Voorth, I will always remember the help you provided for Annelisa, and for Lawrence.
”Will you accept my thanks? I would like to invite you to lunch.”
”No problem.” Voorhees was worried about how to spend the time before the ship sailed.
Dorian immediately arranged for her to wait in the adjacent lounge and offered black tea and snacks, newspapers and magazines.
Upon returning to his office, the gentleman opened a dark cabinet with slight misgivings and removed an object.
It was a crystal ball that sparkled brilliantly in its purity.
