Part 4 The Undead Chapter 121 A Comparison of Discourse Experience
I think? If I knew the answer, why would I be here, I would have already found a way to indirectly submit the information! Leonard mumbled a couple of silent words, mentally weighing his words.
In the process, he realized that although he was standing upright and looking down at Dawn Dantes, Mr. Rich, who was sitting leisurely in his easy chair, was occupying the upper peak of the momentum, like a high-ranking person who was casually listening to the report of his subordinates.
This made Leonard rather uncomfortable, and subconsciously glancing round, he drew a chair over to him, and half habitually and half deliberately leaned back to sit and said:
”I think he, or rather you, are looking for a certain item.
”At Tingen he was looking for a certain item when he blended in with the ‘night watchmen,’ and at Berkland he was looking for that same item when he infiltrated the Charnis Gate!
”On the first occasion, he had no success, so he faked his death to disengage himself with the aid of Innes Zangwill’s attack;
”On the second occasion, he still did not find it, so he took nothing and left directly behind the Charnis Gate!”
Leonard, in these words, used a tone of certainty to reveal that he had grasped that Germaine Sparrow was Sherlock Moriarty was Crane Moretti and all this, wanting to use this to create a pressurized effect, so that Dawn Dantes would no longer be so calm and no longer have any thoughts of sophistry.
Sure enough, he went and dug up my grave …… Klein rather sighed inwardly and gave a heck of a sigh, picked up the glass containing the red wine, and gently shook it:
”Do you think that we would make two reckless attempts in a row before we have definite information? You have to know that there is only one chance for this kind of thing, and once it fails, it means that there is no more possibility of success.
”So who would rely on actions to validate a guess when the goal is not even clear?”
He acquiesced to my statement, Klein Moretti is Germaine Sparrow, a member of the secretive organization that believes in the “Fool”, the “Grand Theft” Black Emperor …… Leonard Trying not to frown, he rested his right foot on his left leg and said:
”So it wasn’t a failure to find it, but a failure due to other factors?
”In both phases, there were only two things that were the same at St. Selene’s Church in Tingen and St. Samuel’s Church in Berkland: seal ‘2-049’ and the Antigonus family notes.
”The Antigonus Family Notebook …… is it? Klein Moretti joined the ‘Night Watchers’ because of it!”
Although the reasoning process was wrong, the answer was right …… Klein laughed:
”Our minds aren’t meant to be used for decoration.
”If his purpose was the Antigonus Family Notebook, he didn’t even need to join the ‘Night Watchers’, he had enough chances before you guys acquired it.
”And even after you had obtained it, there was no lack of possibility of his getting it; you should know better than I do the circumstances.
”Also, since the target was the Antigonus Family Note, why didn’t he take it this time?”
Leonard Mitchell, who had been mocked by Dawn Dantes, realized that his improvised thoughts were full of logical contradictions, and was inwardly ashamed, slightly bringing on a bit of anger.
He took a quiet breath and said:
”Then why did he infiltrate the Charnis Gate twice, using different methods? And this time, not only did he take nothing and leave nothing behind, he also entered a strange state himself.”
As soon as Leonard’s words left his mouth, he saw Dawn Dantes, who was graying at the temples, give a meaningful smile:
”That latter thing, I don’t know why, perhaps you should go and ask the ‘Goddess of Darkness’.”
Goddess …… What does he mean? Leonard was instantly shocked and suspicious, struggling to imagine what was going on behind the Charnis Gate at St. Samuel’s Church.
Immediately afterward, he heard Dawn Dantes laugh lowly:
”As for your first question, I think you probably misunderstood something.
”The members of our organization come from different places, join for different purposes, and choose to change their beliefs, while until then, their lives remain their own.
”Like me, there is a past and a present, and the reason why I am here is because of this last name I have given myself.”
Dantes …… The Return of the Earl …… He joined the secretive organization of believers in the Fool for revenge, and came to Berkland? Leonard nodded thoughtfully.
Klein paused for a few seconds, casually sipped his red wine, and with a smile, continued:
”Similarly, he who came alive due to the curse of the Antigonus family notes is also out for revenge.”
Klein had just deliberately mentioned his current last name – “Dontaeus”, mentioning vengeance, was to preemptively make a distinction between himself and Germaine Sparrow Klein Moretti, lest Leonard think in hindsight that the two men had a similar purpose and existed in common, the conjecture that perhaps a deeper connection lurked.
–itself took the initiative to say this matter, can let the listener’s mind form a thinking pattern, subconsciously follow the logic of the content of the words, treating Dawn Dantes and Klein Moretti as two completely different people, the only thing in common is that they both want to take revenge, and in this world, there are definitely more than just so many two avengers.
Leonard unconsciously lowered his teetering right leg and leaned forward slightly:
”Revenge?
”Who does he want to take revenge on?”
After asking, the elegant and handsome middle-aged gentleman in his eyes slightly upturned the corners of his mouth:
”Lanlus, and ……
”Ince Zangwill.”
”Ince Zangwill ……,” Leonard repeated offhandedly, his expression changing several times in uncontrollable succession before finally returning to stoicism.
His turquoise eyes gazed ahead, briefly unfocused, wondering what he was thinking about pondering.
Hoo…… after a long period of silence, Leonard exhaled and loosened his instinctively clenched hands.
He asked in a slightly husky voice:
”Is it true that Lanlus killed him?”
”Of course.” Klein responded calmly with a dark sigh.
Leonard opened his mouth as if to say something, but failed to speak and pursed his lips tightly again.
Seeing that the purpose of pointing a little had been achieved, Klein immediately digressed and laughed:
”If you have a similar purpose or need help, you can likewise chant k’s honorable name and perhaps receive a response.”
k…… that hidden existence “The Fool”? Leonard thought that Dawn Dantes was habitually proselytizing, trying to develop himself into that hidden organization, so he didn’t do much thinking and gave his response with silence.
Klein turned and laughed:
”By the way, pass on a word to Palles Zoroaster: one of the members of our organization met the ‘Blasphemer’ Amon in the ‘God Forsaken Land’.”
The information content of this sentence was so great that it caused Leonard to briefly actually not know how to react, with all the relevant thoughts echoing in his mind:
”The ‘Godforsaken Land’? The ‘Godforsaken Land’ that the Seven Churches could not find? This secretive organization of theirs even has members who can enter and exit the ‘Godforsaken Land’!
”‘Blasphemer’ Amon…… old man said that he was hiding from a High Sequencer surnamed Amon, and it was after he was heavily injured by the other party that he had to be bounced around and parasitized into me… …
”The tone and posture of Dawn Dantes’ speech really looks like an undead monster that survived the Fourth Age, and is at the same or similar level as the old man …… In front of him, I really don’t have any sense of superiority, and I even lack self-confidence… …”
Between flashes of thoughts, Leonard barely returned to his senses and said:
”I’ll convey it to him.”
Well, after Leonard entered someone else’s dream, it seems that that old grandpa was unable to accurately grasp his senses, or else he would have reacted abnormally when he heard about “Blasphemer” Amon …… Previously, “Serpent of Destiny” Will Onsettin “Will Onsettin’s words also support this: until the poet’s classmates were really in danger, the old man did not realize and did not act …… Good, k is not a complete “parasite”! …… Klein laughed as he deciphered the hidden message:
”You can go back and rest assured that my purpose is not in the Church of Darkness.”
Referring to the next purpose, not the previous …… Klein silently added in his mind.
Leonard had gained enough information to not dare to linger, leaving his chair and saluting.
Then he shed the dream of Dawn Dantes.
……
In a room on the back street of St. Samuel’s Church, Leonard awoke and heard the slightly older voice of the “parasite” inside him echoing in his head:
”What did he say?”
Leonard said, weighing his words:
”He directly admitted to being a member of the secretive organization that believes in the ‘Fool’, as did Klein Moretti under the alias of Germaine Sparrow.
”They all aim for revenge, each in their own way.”
Palles Zoroaster said after a second of silence:
”Did he say why Klein Moretti was able to come back to life? Or how he managed to fake his death to that extent?”
Leonard thought back and said:
”The explanation he gave was that the curse given by the Antigonus family notes.”
Curse …… It wasn’t until this time that Leonard realized that Dawn Dantes’ wording was rather strange:
The power that could bring a dead person back to life was called a curse!
Palles Zoroaster didn’t seem to have any questions about this, and after a few seconds of silence, he said:
”What else did he say?”
Leonard did not hide anything and said frankly:
”He mentioned ‘Blasphemer’ Amon, saying that one of the members of their organization met each other in the ‘God Forsaken Land’.
”Old man, is this the Amon you mentioned?”
The slightly aged voice replied after a while:
”It should be.”
He added after a pause:
”I was thinking that Dawn Dantes, no, that ‘Fool’ behind him, might really be some old friend of mine ……”
The old man thought of himself as a level above Dawn Dantes, if not more …… than that He’s an earthly angel? Leonard said with a slight thought:
”Which old friend?”
Palles Zoroaster did not answer and asked instead:
”Are you still going to look for an opportunity to reveal what happened to Dawn Dantes and Klein Moretti?”
Leonard fell holleringly silent, and after ten seconds or so said in a low voice:
”Not for a while.
”Maybe there’s still a chance that he and I, and they, can work together ……
”And the Church hasn’t suffered a substantial loss this time.”
The Parasite inside him did not speak again, and seemed to have gone back to sleep.
Leonard, on the other hand, slowly raised his head and looked at the information in front of him, his blue eyes murmuring darkly:
”He left me behind ……”
