Part 4 The Undead Chapter 40 Walter’s Anomaly
Wanting a stone on a bracelet and access to Lemanor’s travel notes for a period of time? How did he know I had those two items? I don’t remember mentioning them at the tarot meeting. …… Upon hearing the reply from Germaine “The World” Sparrow, Voorhees was taken aback and shocked, as if all her secrets had been seen through.
Her spirits tightened in a haze, and she thought back quickly to where she had gone wrong.
”Apart from my teacher, Hugh and Mr. ‘Fool’, no one knows that I have these two items ah, especially Lemanno’s travel notes, I haven’t even used them much ……’Fool ‘ Mr. …… Er, Mr. ‘World’ acted somewhat strangely at the Tarot, never submitting Rossel the Great’s diary, and didn’t seem to be at all attentive or concerned in that regard… …He has a deep connection with Mr. ‘Fool’, and got the appropriate information from K? Believer, or Favored One?” Fools thought carefully for a while, vaguely grasping something, no longer as terrified as she was a moment ago.
Only then did she have the energy to consider whether or not the request of the “world” Germaine Sparrow was acceptable.
For Voorhees, the offer was simply too cheap, less than she had expected, and more reasonable!
As an extraordinary person who often did not go out and stayed at home to write and rest, Lemanno’s travel notes lent out for a period of time does not affect their own safety and use, and that string of bracelets that can help her to travel through the spirit world, as well as the two stones, to give one to the “world” Gelman Sparrow will not make her completely lose cards.
The only problem is that Mr. “World” seems to be willing to try only once, and if he fails, he will still ask for this reward. …… Well, that’s normal given the risk he needs to take… …I was expecting to have to do quite a bit of work for him and pay off the debt by trading the traitor’s head for a reward from the teacher …… Forsyth thought for a few seconds and said a prayer to Mr. “Fool”:
”…… Please tell Mr. ‘World’ that I accept his terms and will do my best to cooperate with his actions.”
She was about to warn Mr. “World” Germaine Sparrow that using the stone would result in a full-moon ravishment, but then she realized that only the “Apprentice” path of the Extraordinary seemed to have such a treatment.
……
Regardless of whether I succeed or fail, with that stone, I will be able to leave Berkland quietly, meet with Mr. “Hanging Man”, and explore that primitive island……. By then, while using the stone, I will use that magic book to record, and I won’t have to worry about how to come back. Unless the luck is too bad, the record fails …… Klein quietly breathed a sigh of relief, opened the door to the room, and let his valet Richardson come in to help him organize his clothes.
”Sir, after breakfast, your scheduled trip is to the Kingdom Museum to see the Royal Collection Exhibition.” Richardson helped his employer put on his coat while talking about today’s arrangement.
Because Dawn Dantes’ social dance steps were progressing extremely fast, the morning etiquette lessons had been reduced from five to three times a week, giving him extra time to do other things, while similar exhibitions would inevitably become a hot topic of discussion in upper-class circles, and it would be unseemly not to go and see them in person.
As for going to St. Samuel’s Church to listen to the bishop’s sermons, Klein also consciously reduced the frequency, not because each time he had to donate a few dozen pounds, but because he was worried that after the initial period of freshness, going there too often would attract suspicion, and that naturalness and reasonableness were the core elements of his plan this time.
He planned to go on two randomly selected days out of the remaining six days, outside of Sunday, relying on a longer period of time to build up his intelligence and get a feel for the pattern, not rushing, not being impatient!
”I can’t wait.” Klein looked at his airy self in the mirror and smiled to his valet.
Thinking of St. Samuel’s Church and the Church of Darkness, he was naturally reminded again of Leonard Mitchell’s secret investigation of Sherlock Moriarty, and wondered what exactly the other party was suspecting.
Was it the fact that Emlyn White had come to his door to buy the Spark Glove that made Leonard decide to investigate those around him, or was it the fact that the Red Glove was in charge of the investigations that made him aware of the looming presence of the Great Detective in the Capin case, or the Llanerus case? Or both? Klein pondered the traces he had left behind and had a rough guess.
He wasn’t afraid of Sherlock Moriarty being wanted by the Church of Darkness and mounting a bounty, anyway, apart from contacting a few acquaintances, the great detective wouldn’t show up again, what he was worried about was being discovered that the early Sherlock Moriarty and Klein Moretti resembled each other, thus tracing it back to the dead former night watchman.
In fact, even if found, it is nothing, I am no longer the original “clown”, “magician”, want to find my demigods are not one or two, even if you add the church’s senior deacon, the problem will not qualitatively change! …… And Benson, Melissa is a real ordinary people, the church will certainly not involve them, will not disturb their lives …… I do not know if the pension will be taken back, it should not be, this can not be explained to the ordinary people …… Klein thought with more debt instead of fretting.
That’s why he was so calm and collected last night when he heard Will Ansettin, the Mercury Serpent, point out his identity as Crane Moretti.
How could a Sequence 1 Angel who had been in contact with Sherlock Moriarty for a long time and was good at destiny-related abilities not be able to find out where this great detective originally came from?
Even with the gray mist blocking the way and interfering with a lot of details, Will Onsettin could definitely tell that Sherlock Moriarty belonged to Tingen.
And in Tingen, Klein had contacted a “monster” way of teenagers Admiral, make each other eyes bleed, “destiny snake” Will Onsettin as long as you have this information, and compare the two, the answer will come out.
If Leonard really found out the hidden identity of Sherlock Moriarty, I do not know what kind of expression …… Klein smiled to himself, out of the master bedroom, down to the second floor, enjoying a well-prepared breakfast of their own chef.
……
West End, 2 King’s Road, Kingdom Museum.
Klein brought his butler Walter and valet Richardson through the ticket gate and entered inside.
This exhibition was organized by the Rune royal family, who had taken various historically significant collections since the founding of the kingdom to the outside world for the public to view and learn about, in order to raise the respect and recognition of the royal family among the kingdom’s subjects.
As a history college graduate, Klein was still quite interested in this exhibition, and many events he was very familiar with had corresponding items appearing here, immersing one into the long and fascinating past years from another angle.
To Klein’s slight surprise, the butler, Walter, also had an in-depth knowledge of most of the exhibits, and very meticulously made an introduction for Dawn Dantes.
Worthy of being a noble family out of …… Klein secretly nodded his head.
Walking and stopping to look and listen in, the three of them constantly encountered other visitors, while the entire exhibition hall was quiet and orderly, with only whispers interspersed.
Passing by a display case, Klein found the butler Walter’s footsteps suddenly stopped for a moment, he then looked to the side, his expression became quite complex.
Because he was not a “viewer”, Klein could not decipher the specific meaning of that complex emotion, and could only follow Walter’s gaze to the front of the display case.
There stood two people, a man and a woman, the man in his thirties, wearing a black formal dress, wearing a silk hat, holding a gold-encrusted cane, seems to be a rich gentleman, the woman in a yellow dress, wearing a gold necklace, the overall dress on the side of the colorful.
Mr. Butler looked at the man …… Klein made a judgment in an instant, and his sight swept over the target without a trace.
He found that the gentleman looked old, his skin had a dark color that was often exposed to the sun, and the backs of his hands looked like sun-dried wood, with extremely rough fingers.
If I didn t look at the dress, and said he was a farmer, a gardener, or a carter, I would believe …… Klein withdrew his gaze, with a little doubt in his mind.
The reason why he could notice these details was because when he constructed the identity of Dawn Dantes, he had seriously considered what kind of appearance an ordinary person who had been adventuring in the southern continent for a long time should have.
He thought that in addition to the eyes, temperament and innate facial contours precipitated by his rich experience, Dawn Dantes must necessarily possess such details as skin that has long been subjected to the sun, less conspicuous scars, rough and strong palms, or else it would not be enough to support the inner part of this character.
I have to say, I’m getting more and more experienced and knowledgeable about how to build a new character since I became the Faceless Man. …… If I were back on Earth, I’d have acting as a strong point, even if I didn’t have my extraordinary abilities… …As Klein laughed to himself, he saw that Mr. Walter, the butler, had resumed his serious and proper appearance, as if nothing had happened.
And the man with old features and rough skin pointed to the flags inside the display case:
”This is the flag used by the Earl of Rustin, Prince Harold Augustus, in the War of the White Roses, unfortunately, he died in this war, however, his death was the turning point of the whole war, and we, Ruen, finally won the victory, you see, this flag has his blood on it …… ”
History knowledge is good well …… Klein swept the butler Walter out of the corner of his eye, thought for two seconds, put on a smile and approached the pair, interjecting in a friendly manner:
”I didn’t expect that someone would know about such a cold matter, I originally thought that people’s knowledge of the White Rose War was limited to Rune’s victory over Intis and gaining the victory.
”Sir, I am in awe of your knowledge.”
Being praised like that in front of his female companion, that man’s expression instantly changed from guarded to relaxed, and a slightly self-satisfied smile spread across his face:
”I just like to learn about historical aspects.”
He casually scanned the gentleman’s entourage in front of him, his brow furrowing abruptly and then stretching out with a slight residue of doubt.
Sure enough, he is acquainted with Steward Walter …… Klein smiled without moving:
”Hello, I am a merchant from Dixie, Dawn Dantes, I do not know what to call you?”
The man hesitated and said:
”William Sykes, deacon of an estate.”
