Part 3 The Traveler Chapter 41 Collaboration
By the time he left 47 Black Point Street, Klein had figured out the basics of Winter’s situation.
This was what he had found out by changing his looks and disguising himself as a police officer, and inquiring from the nearby neighbors.
”Simeon Island, that island at the farthest end of the Rothschild Archipelago, from Byam to go there, you need to take a passenger ship, which costs four to five hours, and the passenger ship only has two flights a day, at 9:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m., and today it has already been missed …… Wynter’s parents have long since died, and there are not many relatives, and the involved Personnel only one he can not forget the girl Rui Ni, is the first time the real play can not be better object, suitable for newbies like me, but think about for Winter confession, or from the heart of the embarrassment ah …… If the girl agreed to …… me to go, then how to end up …… “Klein thought with a difficult face.
He tried to recall the novels he had read and the movies and TV shows he had watched, hoping to get the most perfect solution to handle the situation.
Soon, he had a general idea, and his mood stabilized as his thoughts began to shift toward the matter of “Steel” McVittie.
”I hope Ms. Magician can get a radio receiver soon ……” sighed Klein silently, and got into a rental wagon.
……
Bakerland, Chorwood District.
Forsyth opened the letter Hugh had brought back.
It came from Avril, a science fiction novelist, who was happy to share with Ms. Vole the history and applications of radio technology.
Voorhees skimmed right over the beginning and middle, his eyes sweeping to the end.
”Three models are described, with detailed addresses and approximate prices, and the most expensive is only twelve pounds.” Voorhees nodded lightly, figuring it wasn’t too important a business.
She suddenly felt a little bloated, perhaps because she was so used to seeing hundreds and thousands of pounds traded in the Tarot Club that items around £10 didn’t even cross her mind.
Mr. “World” has the resources, has the financial power, in the future may have to buy items from him, out of the unwanted things, well, the original price plus a stamp fee, round trip wagon fee, the loss of ritual materials on the line …… Forsyth quickly made up her mind, eyes subconsciously looked out the window.
Beckland was still in a state of gloom and dimness, with a light drizzle, only the fog was no longer as thick as before.
”I also wonder when the ‘Sun’s’ Spirit Eater Stomach Pouch will arrive …… “Folth felt that he couldn’t wait to be promoted.
……
Silver City, Berg’s house.
Derek had prepared the Spirit Eater’s stomach pouch and the ingredients specified by Mr. Hanging Man, but he was in no hurry to make the sacrifice to Mr. Fool.
He was going to wait a bit longer, when the “Chief” was leading the questing team out of town or officiating at certain rituals, before attempting to do so accordingly.
”This is the safest and most secure …… Well, be careful, be careful!” Derek reminded himself, and then flipped through the Handbook of the Black Rock Book of the Court of the Giants in front of him.
For the recent period of time, he had been reading this ancient book, from which he had glimpsed a small portion of that Giant King’s Court in the ancient times.
According to the ancient book, it was the Court of the Gods!
Time seemed to freeze there, forever at dusk, and all the buildings were extremely grand and spectacular, even towering into the clouds.
Humans walking inside were unusually small, and would be in heartfelt awe of such a scene as well as the owner of the scene.
……
BECKLANDER, HILSTON DISTRICT, The Willmandy House.
Emlyn White, who had finished listening to the explanation, made a comb with his hand, straightened his hair, and asked deliberately:
”Lord Baron, I forgot where I heard that in the second era or the first half of the third era, there was a very famous city-state called ‘Silver City’.”
Wimandi was a vampire baron who was over 200 years old, but his appearance was not old at all, instead, he looked like a mature man who was just in his early thirties.
His black hair was neatly combed back, he wore a dark red cotton shirt, and held a coffee-colored pipe in his hand, enjoying the warmth of the fireplace as he mused:
”No, there was no Silver City before the Cataclysm, at least as far as I can remember.”
Not waiting for Emlyn to be pleased, he muttered to himself down the line:
”But there was a Land of Silver, originally ruled by the Giant’s Court, and later belonged to the One.”
Land of Silver? Emlyn White thought for a moment and said:
”Lord Baron, are there more specifics?”
Wimandi looked up at him and smiled as he recalled:
”The Kingdom of Silver has a more special status in the Giant King’s Court, they do not directly believe in the Giant King Olmir, the object of their faith is the Queen of the Giant King’s Court, Omibella.”
……
”City of Generosity” Bayam, Docklands, Sour Lemon Street, “Azure Wind” Inn.
Kraven stood on the street corner, unlocked the citrine pendant on his left wrist, and used divination to confirm that there was no danger ahead.
He paced slowly back to the hotel, up to the third floor, and opened the door to his deluxe suite.
To his mild surprise, Daniz “The Flame” had returned and was slumped in an easy chair, drinking.
Weighing the tone of his persona, Klein asked calmly:
”What time is it now.”
”Isn’t there a wall clock?” Danez muttered.
He looked to the opposite wall and read the current time:
”3:40 p.m. ……”
Before the words left his mouth, Daniz suddenly woke up, sat up straight for a moment, and said with two dry laughs:
”I’ve inquired about the places I need to inquire about, and I’ve asked the people I need to ask, there’s no need to stay out there, that would increase the risk of exposure and affect your hunting plans!”
Klein found a chair to sit down and spoke with an expressionless face:
”Tell us what happened.”
”What could be the problem? Although I’m mainly an adventurer chasing treasure, I’m also a qualified part-time pirate.” Daniz felt that his abilities were insulted.
After being coldly swept by Germaine Sparrow, he piled up another smile and briefly reviewed the morning and afternoon by picking up the highlights of where he had gone, who he had met, what he had heard, and what he had talked about in general.
Hearing Daniz lament that a pirate captain of a ghost ship called Alger knew about Banshee Harbor, Kline suddenly wanted to frown a little.
With the relationship between Mr. “Inverted Man” and the Church of the Storm, before I manipulated the “world” and took the initiative to mention it, he was not even aware of the changes in Bansai Harbor, so where could this Alger have known about it? Storm Church inside the higher status, disguised as pirates of the strong, or with the Banshee Harbor cultists have a certain relationship with the guy? Well …… Mr. “Inverted Man” has been active in this sea, we can’t rule out the possibility that it is him …… Klein’s heart moved, recalled the “Inverted Man” characteristics. He was able to recall the characteristics of the “Inverted Man”.
In the gray fog, although he could not clearly see the specific appearance of the members, but male or female, hair color, or a clear picture!
Klein raised his hand and pressed down, stopping Daniz’s subsequent words, and lowered his voice:
”Messy hair, dark blue?”
”You recognize him? This guy’s not easy!” Daniz exclaimed.
Sure enough …… Oh, I really didn’t expect to meet him like this …… Klein didn’t make any response and directly leaned his body forward and said:
”Continue.”
Daniz did not bother to think about it much, and described the experience afterward roughly, defending himself:
”You know, inquiring about such things as news, no one can be sure when there will be a harvest, after looking for all the people who can be found, the only thing that can be done is to wait patiently, which will inevitably require a certain, not short, amount of time.”
”There are other ways that don’t require waiting.” Klein said with deliberate flatness.
”What way?” Danez asked back, startled.
Klein pushed down his gold-rimmed glasses, the corners of his mouth curving a little:
”Use bait.”
Bait? Danitz looked at the other man, a little confused for a moment.
In just a second’s work, he had already snapped out of it.
The only person who could be bait was himself!
And in something like fishing, no one cared whether the bait would actually be swallowed or not, they only cared about being able to rip the prey up!
Simply put, “bait” was a high-risk species!
”Haha, that’s not a very good idea… Well, my intuition tells me that there should be some harvest over at the ‘Red Theater’… I’ll go over there and take a look now!” Danez grabbed his coat and rushed out of the room impatiently.
Klein was about to hang on to the back of the Flame to see if he could find any clues, when a cascade of illusory prayers suddenly rang in his ears.
It came from a man.
Klein paused thoughtfully and turned into the washroom.
Ten seconds later, he appeared above the gray mist, and saw the crimson star corresponding to the “upside down man” was expanding and contracting.
Sure enough …… Klein sat down and leaned back, spreading his spirituality.
The voice of the “Inverted Hanged Man” became clear all of a sudden:
”Dear Mr. ‘Fool’, I was tracking down the matter of the key of the ‘Lieutenant General of the Iceberg’, and I met ‘Flame’ Danez at the Gold Coin Casino. I learned from him that he was a party to the Banshee Harbor mutiny and was planning to join forces with a strong man to deal with ‘Steel’ McVitie.
”I suspect that the person ‘Flame’ Danez is working with is one of your favorites, and so I pray to you.
”If it is indeed, and he desires a certain amount of cooperation, I can offer some help.”
Mr. “Inverted Man” did guess the identity of Germaine Sparrow …… He should have had just a little suspicion, and by asking about Banshee Harbor, he managed to get confirmation from Daniz… …This is good, with the help of this local snake, the plan to hunt “Steel” McVitie will be much smoother …… Unless we can directly hit the “Fool”, the “Fool” will be the only one who will be able to get to the “Fool”. “Unless we can directly hit the “Fool”, the “inverted man” pit family members have no meaning …… And from his behavior and attitude, he has no suspicion of the “Fool”! …… I didn’t leave any loopholes …… Klein’s thoughts were racing, and he quickly made a decision.
After the divination, he manifested the “world”, so that this dummy shrouded in mist, made a prayer posture, calmly responded:
”Mr. Great ‘Fool’, I am in need of certain collaboration.”
After completing the scene, Klein threw a message with a voice and image into the crimson star that symbolized the “Hanged Man”.
