Part 4 The Undead Chapter 33 Another Monday

　　When Klein had finished speaking, Albert asked a few more targeted questions based on his description to see if certain details would match up.

　　Undoubtedly, he received satisfactory answers.

　　”Thank you for your cooperation, and have good dreams.” Albert smiled, got up, made a bow, and by the way, he used his “Nightmare” ability to affect Dawn Dantes again, so that after he woke up, he only vaguely remembered what kind of dream he had, but couldn’t recall the specific content.

　　After doing so, he turned toward the door, twisted the handle, and left the dream world.

　　Sure enough, the “night watchman” still too much trust in the “nightmare” ability, if I were to lead this matter, I would certainly design a series of questions from different angles and different aspects in advance, and compare them with each other, looking for inconsistencies and loopholes! The best way is to join hands with Ms. “Justice” to come up with several professional psychological evaluation questionnaires for the target to complete in the dream state. If he is in disguise, his psychological state and the image he wants to show will definitely be contradictory in the conclusions of different evaluations. Unless, he is also a psychologist who can notice the substantial purpose of each set of questions …… Klein leaned back against the back of the sofa and cast his eyes out the window.

　　In the gray darkness of the world, the gas street lamps glowed dimly and pale, illuminating the surrounding eerie deadness.

　　Klein watched quietly for a few seconds, tracing the corners of his mouth in a self-deprecating smile.

　　As for the underground of St. Samuel’s Church, after seeing Albert awaken normally and hearing him report on what had happened, Leonard was first relieved, and then became more and more fearful of the undead Quaternary monster.

　　In Silver City, lightning broke through the sky and illuminated all the streets.

　　Derek Berg walked out of his house, pinned on his Hurricane Axe, and traveled towards the Twin Towers in the north of the city.

　　Along the way, he met quite a few residents of Silver City, some of them were busy, some were sending their children to receive general education, and some were in groups, patrolling every corner to prevent people from accidentally dying in their homes without being terminated by their next of kin and turning into horrible evil spirits.

　　The presence of these people made Silver City seem very alive, and Derek could still occasionally hear the sounds of children’s laughter and giggles.

　　He couldn’t help but think back to his previous life in the afternoon town camp, where he could meet only a dozen or two humans a day, and had to spend most of his time inside the sturdy but cramped buildings, while outside, the monsters that lay silent in the darkness and hid in the houses were cleared away again and again and again and again, emerging from nowhere, giving every member of the questing team a feeling of powerlessness from the bottom of their hearts, as if No one could ever be truly safe, and it was difficult to rest assured that they would have to do their best at all times and not be able to slack off for a single moment.

　　No normal creature can maintain such a state of high alertness and vigilance for very long, so Silver City has a well-established rotation system.

　　Returning to Silver City from Afternoon Town didn’t take the first exploratory team too long, but it was followed by the inevitable isolation and relaxation, and it wasn’t until today that Derek had adjusted to the idea that his mental state could support the negative impact of the promotion.

　　He had previously reported to “Chief” Colin Iliad that he had been given the Notary’s potion formula, and had been allowed to exchange this harvest for the corresponding extraordinary material, the tail feathers of the The tail feathers of the bird.

　　As for the things he owed to the Moon, he had already obtained them through his patrols around the town in the afternoon, and passed them on to the other party through Mr. Fool.

　　If I get promoted, I’ll be eligible to pick a non-high-order magical item. …… Derek thought with a little bit of longing, and accelerated his pace to the Twin Towers in the north of the city.

　　Although the material warehouse and magical items are in the round tower, watched by the “Council of Six”, but Derek’s destination is the spire, because here there are merit exchange points.

　　He was just about to enter the spire, when inspiration struck him, and he subconsciously looked up at the upper floors of the tower, only to see a woman in a black robe with purple stripes standing behind a window, looking down at him.

　　The other party has silver gray curly hair, light gray eyes and beautiful face, it is the “six people council” member, “shepherd” Luo Weiya!

　　Between the two of them, Lovia’s eyes seemed to be able to penetrate the soul, however, her expression didn’t change a bit, and she even gently nodded her head, as if she was greeting me.

　　She is not greeting me, she is greeting the one behind me …… Horribly, Derek had a realization.

　　This stemmed from the experience he had gradually accumulated under the teachings of the Tarot Society congregation.

　　He nodded his head in response, withdrew his gaze without exception, and entered the spire unhurriedly.

　　……

　　At night in the private harbor of Bayam, the Golden Dream, with its strange main guns along the center line, arrived at the dock.

　　Daniz, carrying a local specialty from the Resistance, waved back with a big smile as he made his way up the gangway and onto the deck.

　　During this period of time, he had a very comfortable life here, as a special envoy who sent arms, food, and a small amount of extraordinary materials, he was given quite a high level of courtesy, and every day he either drank and ate meat, or bragged and hunted, and he was even invited to observe the ceremony where the “God of the Sea” bestowed blessings on the believers.

　　After witnessing these things, he suddenly had a realization: Bayam, or all the colonies, the future will erupt in fierce conflicts, without tens of hundreds of years of time will not calm down.

　　So, Danez decided to sell most of his properties in Byam the next time he came back, keeping only one of them, and then look for opportunities to buy houses in places like Trier, the capital of Intis, Birkeland, the capital of Ruin, and the countryside where the scenery was perfect for peace and tranquility.

　　Just in time to make a trip back to the small town of Nosier to see the old man and mom, well, the house can be bought one less, and get them a vineyard …… Daniz waved again to the enthusiastic rebels.

　　He then puffed out his chest and said proudly to Jordson “Flower Bow Tie”:

　　”Where is the captain? I need to brief her on what’s been going on.”

　　Jordson tsked dismissively:

　　”In the captain’s cabin, of course.”

　　At the same time, he mentally slurred:

　　This guy, Daniz, is getting more and more proud after climbing into a relationship with Germaine Sparrow! However, that crazy adventurer is really scary, to have successfully hunted the “Blood Admiral”!

　　”Hey.” Daniz let out a laugh, and with a beatific stride, he entered the cabin and met the “Iceberg Lieutenant General” Edwina Edwards.

　　He instantly put away that provocative look and `smiled’:

　　”Captain, I have completed my mission.”

　　”Exactly what happened.” Edwina put down the book in her hands and opened her mouth to ask.

　　Daniz had prepared for this and described the experience in detail, and exaggerated his own role, ending with:

　　”Captain, I had an encounter with Gelman Sparrow, who asked me to ask you if there is anything unusual about the corpse of the elven singer Shattas and that golden wine cup.”

　　Without answering directly, Edwina got up and walked towards the corner of the captain’s room, where a black wooden box lay.

　　–The “Golden Dream” would not leave for Sunia Island until after this voyage, so the remains of Shatas and Mobet were still on the ship, and Edwina had put them in the specially prepared box.

　　Bending one knee and half-kneeling, Edwina opened that wooden crate, allowing the corpses resting staggered inside to be presented.

　　The golden wine cup that had been mostly flattened rested quietly in the palm of a white-bone hand, unaltered.

　　”No anomalies.” Edwina gave her conclusion.

　　Daniz glanced over his shoulder and noted the answer, ready to report back to the great Fool when no one else was around to ask K to convey it to that madman Germaine Sparrow.

　　……

　　”Nothing out of the ordinary?” Above the gray mist, Klein frowned slightly, half puzzled, half relieved.

　　Based on his assumptions, the probability that there was something wrong with the golden chalice was not low, and the absence of an anomaly was a bit beyond his expectations, but he liked the answer as well, as he didn’t want Shattas and Mobet’s restful sleep to be disturbed.

　　Maybe it was going to be an additional catalytic condition? Oh well, let’s hope it never comes together …… Klein muttered a couple of words to himself and turned his attention to the Grocer’s Travels in the clutter pile.

　　Since there was no way to access the sea of collective subconsciousness for the time being, and since his recent focus was on the Antigonus family notes, he had postponed his plans to explore the world of the book for a second time.

　　Phew …… Klein exhaled, withdrew his gaze, and prepared to get up for this week’s tarot party.

　　Three o’clock in the afternoon, Birkeland time.

　　A deep red glow lit up on either side of the long, mottled table, solidifying into blurred, disparate figures.

　　Audrey was in as good a mood as usual, if not better, because her brother, Hibbert Hall, had telegraphed her to tell her that the ten percent share in the Bakerland Pedaler Company had been finalized for a total of twelve thousand gold pounds.

　　Moreover, she didn’t need to rush back to Bakerland to sign, she had already signed the carte blanche agreement before her brother Hibbert’s departure, witnessed by two lawyers, and all she needed to do at the moment was to wait until everything was complete before signing a confirmation to her brother.

　　The corners of Audrey’s mouth curled gracefully as she stood up and addressed the figure shrouded in gray mist at the top of the long bronze table:

　　”Good afternoon, Mr. ‘Fool’~”

　　May Mr. ‘Fool’ be blessed with a clue to the fruit of the Psychedelic Chimes Tree today …… Then, she said a silent prayer in her heart.

　　After greeting each other and sitting down, “The Hidden One” Gadelia did not fail to live up to Klein’s expectations, and once again, she did not dare to look directly at her head and said:

　　”Mr. ‘Fool’, this time there are three pages of Rossel the Great’s diary.”

　　Hasn’t the “Queen of Mysteries” found any clues about Rossel the Great’s assassination yet? …… has been providing the diary through Ms. “The Hidden One”… …Unfortunately, I’ve been in the family domain lately, and I haven’t had much contact with the Psycho-Alchemy Society, so I haven’t been able to get a new diary… …… Well, I’m going to go to the Foundation for the Collection and Preservation of Antiquities in the next few days to check it out, so maybe they’ll have collected some… …Audrey “Justice” Justice listens in curiously.

　　”Fool” Klein, on the other hand, gave a chuckle:

　　”Very well.

　　”You may consider requesting it.”

　　Actually, I know that the Queen of Mystery has already told you the problem …… I wonder what she’s going to do in Berkland …… Klein’s thoughts diverged slightly.

　　Soon after, “The Hidden One” Gadelia materialized the three pages of the diary and handed them over to Mr. Fool.
