Part 4 The Undead Chapter 155 A Familiar Figure
Hearing Klein’s question, the baby wrapped in silver silk raised its fleshy arms and spread them out to the sides a bit and said:
”I can’t help it, I’m still in my mom’s belly!
”That thousand paper crane can’t write anymore, but it can still help me locate you, and I’ll let you know if anything happens!”
For Will Onsettin’s reply like this, Klein had a certain amount of anticipation, and with an unchanged posture and unchanged smile, he opened his mouth to explain:
”That Thousand Paper Crane has already appeared to be a little broken, and I think that there might be a problem with the positioning.”
Immediately afterward, he gave his suggestion:
”Perhaps it would be possible to do so, after you are born, summon my messenger and write to tell me.”
He was worried that something unusual would happen when Will Onsettin was born, causing the “Serpent of Destiny” to have to change places in the body of a baby, and by then, there would really be no way to contact him.
Inside the black stroller, Will Ansett opened his mouth and then closed it again, not giving a response for a while.
After several seconds, the baby said with a slightly flat mouth:
”Do you think that’s realistic?
”Not only having a newborn baby put pen to paper and write to you, but also setting up a ceremony and summoning a messenger?”
Klein said with a dry laugh:
”But you are the ‘Serpent of Destiny’.”
”Then you must also respect the laws of nature!” Will Onsettin flung down his arm and patted the mat next to him.
The infant whirled around and pondered:
”Tell you what, get someone to keep an eye on this place and report back to you as soon as you notice a baby being born.”
Klein’s eyes rolled from side to side for a moment and said:
”That’s fine.”
In this regard, there were too many “people” that he could find, he could hire gang members through Sharon, use a messenger to convey the message, find something for Emlyn White who was usually very free, and entrust the bounty hunter Ms. Hugh to help him out, and the corresponding results would be communicated to the “Magician” by Ms. Hugh. Ms. Hugh, the bounty hunter, can be commissioned to help, and the corresponding results will be reported by the “magician” to the “world” Germaine Sparrow, or the “mirror” Aroldus can be asked to pay attention to the vicinity, and report on the situation in the single line of communication.
However, Emlyn’s nose is very good, I wonder if he can smell the cord blood outside the house, and even distinguish the corresponding essence …… If that’s the case, it might give him a shock similar to seeing mythical creatures, a lowering of reasoning, insanity, physical mutation… …Klein was busy asking again before Will Onsettin’s stroller retreated into the shadows:
”I have a, uh, teacher that I haven’t been in touch with in a long time, can you help me see what his current fate is?
”His name is Azick Eggers.”
Because Mr. Azk never replied to the letter, Klein was inevitably a bit worried, he had previously done the corresponding divination with the help of a copper whistle above the gray mist, but could only see a quiet and deep darkness, hear one long and long breath after another, and could not decipher what such a dream actually meant.
Will Onsettin sucked his thumb and said:
”Being in a state of flux, which can be good or bad, can only be seen to this extent specifically because there is something special about that teacher of yours.”
Something special? Divinity that stems directly from death? An altered state? Is this a reference to Mr. Aztec retrieving more memories and once again regaining the appropriate strength through slumber? Klein said with a thoughtful salute:
”Thank you for your answer.”
Will Onsettin instantly turned his head sideways and looked to the side.
Klein thought about it and reminded:
”As far as I know, ‘Blasphemer’ Amon has come to Berkland, of course, the probability is that it’s an alter ego.”
Will Onsettin was baffled for a moment and laughed:
”To you, it’s bad, to me, it’s quite good, Amon and that stupid snake Urolius are absolute mortal enemies, no, a more accurate description would be that K hates the ‘True Creator’ and is always thinking of pulling the other down from the throne of the gods, while Urolius is loyal to that evil god. ”
With that matter out of the way, the black stroller retreated into the shadows of the mirror, and everything returned to normal.
Amon hates the Real Creator? I have a growing suspicion that the “Real Creator” is a participant in the sharing of the ancient Sun God, the dark baby in the center of the Storm Angels, the Pure White Angels and the Wise Angels. …… Klein exhaled, took two steps forward, unscrewed the faucet, and washed his hands.
……
Inside the East Byron Retired Officers’ Club in the early evening.
Klein didn’t see the donkey-faced Colonel Calvin right away, and after placing the suitcase with 10,000 gold pound bills to the heavy safe, he followed Councilor Macht and enjoyed the buffet of food offered by this top club.
The place specializes in Southern Continental specialties, with cheese bread made from tapioca, ice cream topped with purple-flowering raspberry juice, assorted seafood bisque flavored with coconut milk and palm oil, beef entrails braised with peppers, tomatoes, and onions, Hagathi barbecue, Pas Valley mixed-flavor bisque, as well as schnitzels, and grilled calamari.
Compared to other places, the ingredients used here were very high-grade, and the flavors were pure Southern Continent style, and the food was quite satisfying for Klein, and if he didn’t have to care about his image, he felt that a bite of Hagarty Rod Roast and a bite of Purple Blossom Raspberry Ice Cream must have been refreshing.
Sure enough, I prefer heavier flavored food …… What pleased me the most today was the glass of aperitif, if it wasn’t for Senator Macht casually mentioning it, I would have even assumed it to be a light flavored juice …… The light golden liquid was dipped in two slices of lemon, put in a A few pieces of crushed ice, sweet, with a slight acidity, without any taste of alcohol, cool and refreshing, and at once took away the body s dryness …… Klein put the tablecloth into the plate, and recalled the enjoyment he had just enjoyed.
At this time, Councilor Macht, who had gone to the washroom, returned, smiled and bent down to Dawn Dantes ear and said:
”The room from before.”
”Okay.” Crane rose obediently and went first to the room with the safe and took out the small leather case containing the ten thousand gold pound bills before proceeding to the sitting room where he had met Colonel Calvin the last two times.
Calvin, who had a donkey’s face, was already waiting there, and, glancing at the small leather case in Dawn Dantes’ hand, rose with a smile:
”You are a gentleman of action.
”I greatly admire that kind of attitude in doing things.”
As he spoke, he extended his right hand and shook the sideburned Dawn Dantes.
Klein then handed the small suitcase in his hand to the other party and smiled modestly:
”As a businessman, if he is not decisive and swift even when he sees a very good opportunity to make money, it only means that he is not suitable for this profession.”
Calvin resumed his seat and, in the presence of Dawn Dantes and Councilman Macht, opened the small leather case and roughly counted up the neatly arranged piles of bills.
He quickly made his confirmation, closed the case, raised his head, and looked at Dawn Dantes, who had sat diagonally across the room:
”What else do you have in mind for the specifics of the deal?”
Klein deliberately acted like he was organizing his words and waited a few seconds before saying:
”I’d like to go to the southern continent, to West Byron, as soon as possible.”
Seeing that both Colonel Calvin and Councilor Macht showed a degree of surprise, he added:
”There are things which it is not expedient to do while carrying many arms, and advance preparation is indispensable in order to make a smooth transaction.
”Oh, I must pay attention to this matter; it is business worth tens of thousands of pounds.
”My idea is this; I will first go to West Byron, contact the needy customers, settle the obvious impediments, and when the appointed time comes, I will then contact you, by telegraph, to pick up the goods at the East Byron border.”
Colonel Calvin murmured:
”After the 20th of June you will be able to telegraph me, and I will give you the particulars in a moment; in short, as soon as I receive the telegram, I will notify the officers there, and ask them to bring to the warehouse the person who has given the agreed secret code and password.
”Well …… do you need auxiliaries who can provide protection in the meantime? When are you going to leave?”
I just want to go to West Byron and find a place to squat where there is no Rose School, and wait for Danez to do the rest …… When do you want to leave? I’d certainly like to leave today and arrive today, but that would be suspect …… Klein said after two seconds of consideration:
”For the time being, there is no need, in certain places in the southern continent, such auxiliary personnel will be the main factor leading to conflict, rest assured, I have a lot of friends in Xibailang, without valuable goods, safety can still be guaranteed.
”As to the question of when to go, my answer is, the sooner the better.”
Colonel Calvin thought for nearly a minute, and nodded slowly:
”I’ll send someone to pick you up tomorrow after dinner, the military has a flying airship carrying supplies and personnel to Dixie Bay, and from there it’s a short boat ride to the southern continent, two or three days if things go well, or a week even if there’s a storm blocking the way and some of the shipping lanes have to be meandered.”
”Thanks.” Klein sincerely got up and saluted.
In his opinion, following the military out of Beckland was a safe enough option to not be suspected by anyone.
After a little more detailed conversation, Klein rose to take his leave and returned to the lobby with Councilor Macht, ready to leave.
Inside the lobby, next to the buffet table, nearly a dozen men in either uniform or civilian clothes were gathered with a glass of wine each, laughing about the recent rumors.
Klein swept over with a glance and suddenly felt that one of the figures was a bit familiar.
The man was over 1 meter 85, but less than 1 meter 9, with slightly longer arms, a certain degree of outward deviation of the legs present, and unusually broad shoulders that held up the black formal dress to appear tighter.
This is …… Klein’s thoughts are electric, the spirit suddenly became tense, already remembered the source of the sense of familiarity:
This is the demigod who met with “Mad Captain” Connors that night!
The demigod who was suspected to be working for a certain faction of the royal family and was leading the human trafficking!
Although this high-ranking powerhouse was wearing a black cloak, which interfered with the divination and didn’t reveal his face, Kraven memorized his physical features.
This was the specialty of the “Faceless Man”!
