Part 5 The Red Priests Chapter 64 Consulting Fees
Rubbing his forehead, Klein was about to try to split another Spirit Worm when he saw Renette Tignicole, dressed in a long, somber, complicated dress, emerge from the void and stand beside his desk.
In the mouth of one of the heads of this messenger lady was biting a neatly folded letter.
”Who is it from?” Klein asked casually.
The other three heads of Renette Tignicole answered in turn:
”Mushroom ……” “The king ……” “The ……” “Boss ……”
The Mushroom King? Klein froze for a full two seconds before reacting that it might be Frank Lee.
And Frank Lee’s boss was “General Starbuck” Gadelia.
”The Mushroom King means Frank Lee?” Klein asked confirmatively and rhetorically as he reached out and caught the incoming letter.
The four blonde, red-eyed, brightly colored heads moved up and down through their lifted hair in what appeared to be a nod.
The messenger lady will also give people nicknames …… No ah, Frank is not only good at mushrooms ah, his “field” includes cattle, wheat, fish, rose bishop …… This is Frank s mushrooms! There was a breakthrough in the experiment, and the messenger lady went over and saw a ship full of mushrooms? Klein couldn’t help but take a breath and quickly unfolded the letterhead.
He was worried that this was a distress letter from Ms. Hermit.
Of course, he was not so urgent, because when it came to the last minute, “General Star”, an experienced pirate, would certainly choose to pray to Mr. “Fool”.
The letter was indeed from the captain of the “Future ship”, Gadelia, which succinctly wrote:
”…… The Queen has fixed the time and place, Wednesday night at eleven o’clock, at the usual place.
”…… I’m not sure exactly what you said to Frank Lee, but it’s obvious that he’s been very energized lately, dragging that ‘craftsman’ through a lot of experiments, saying that in another three to six months, he’ll be able to come up with milestones, and said that if there can be a ‘Druid’ magic potion formula, perhaps by then all the intermediate products can be omitted and the final result will come out directly, all I can say is, good luck.
”…… May this be over before the ‘artisan’ completely breaks down, he’s all but starting to repent of his faith in the ‘primordial moon’ ……”
Should I be happy that progress is going to be made on food security in Silver City, or do I have to worry that something will go wrong with this? Klein rubbed the corner of his forehead again, and decided not to think about this matter for the time being, anyway, there is still the soon-to-be demigod “Hidden One” lady who is watching over it, and if there is any unexpected change, she will definitely ask for help.
Hoo…… finally and “mysterious queen” agreed to meet matters he sighed with relief, snapped his wrist, let the letter paper rise red flames.
After seeing the messenger lady leave, he was just about to continue separating the “Spirit Worm”, but suddenly frowned, deeply concerned about the surface of the desk and the trash can within the embers of the letter paper is unusually eye-catching.
Subconsciously, Klein took out a paper towel, wiped the surface of the desk, and then put a lid on the trash can.
After doing so, he looked at his less soiled hands, stood up, entered the washroom, and unscrewed the faucet.
Out of the corner of his eye during the clattering cleaning, he saw the toilet next to him and frowned a little bit more.
”I didn’t clean it enough today ……,” Klein whispered to himself, suddenly noticing something was wrong with him.
Thoughts flickered, spiritual intuition strong he quickly figured out the reason:
This was the aftermath of using the “Deathstroke” revolver!
Because he had become a demigod, his spiritual body had undergone a qualitative change and possessed divinity, so the corresponding negative effects had been weakened by more than 90%, and this time, what should have been a horrifying weakness of “fear of dirt” had turned out to be the acquisition of the “attribute” of cleanliness.
Similarly, the duration of the “weakness” has been reduced from 6 hours to less than 1 hour, and the usual problem of the “death knell” making people thirsty is not so obvious anymore.
”Fortunately ……” Klein breathed a sigh of relief and skillfully pulled out a nearby toilet brush.
……
At eleven o’clock that night, above the gray fog, due to Emlyn White’s request, the “Justice”, “Star”, “Judgment”, ” Magician” and “Inverted Man” appeared in the old majestic palace.
”Here’s all the loot.” “Moon,” Emlyn threw the 3,000 pounds of cash that had just been offered up into the center of the table and explained, “One of the magical items is called the ‘Oath of the Rose’, a pair of rings that allows the wearer to be within an ordinary city’s range, no matter how far apart they are, they can share their senses and pass on their thoughts, which is very valuable, but, this time, I only got one of the rings, and no matter who I gave it to, it was very dangerous, so I turned it in to the higher-ups of our Blood Clan, and was rewarded with 3,000 pounds in cash.”
He wanted to use the 3000 pounds as his loot directly, but after thinking about it, he sacrificed it on top of the gray mist to act as one of the options.
After a pause, Emlyn went on to describe the other items, going over their positives and negatives, and making hair-splitting and extended remarks – knowledge that stemmed partly from his love of Blood history, and partly from Ernest Boyar’s account of it under the watchful eye of Father Utravski.
It’s a bit of a show-off. …… Otherwise, Mr. Moon would not have said so much in one breath. …… Well, there’s also Mr. Fool! “Mr. Fool” is not present, he is more relaxed …… “Justice” Audrey is like a bystander, did not take the initiative to open the mouth to select the trophies.
”Inverted man” Alger glanced at those trophies, turned to “Moon” Emlyn said:
”You’ve met with the top of the Blood Clan? Has the matter of hunting important members of the Rose School been finalized?”
”It’s been finalized, and I’ve made contact with the member of the Temperance Sect, but he wants the operation to wait until after September.” “Moon” Emlyn made no secret of this, fully trusting that Mr. “The Hanged Man” would provide a useful perspective.
Sure enough, Alger “The Inverted Man” nodded and said:
”Must we wait until after September?
”That means they are waiting for something that will affect them greatly ……”
Klein, who was waiting for the small gathering to end on the other side of the ancient palace, sniffed and suspected that it had something to do with Miss Sharon’s promotion.
According to Miss Sharon, she would be able to attempt the Demigod Ceremony in July ah…… Could it be that this ceremony would last for at least a month before it was considered over? If it’s true, this isn’t quite the same as the other paths …… Klein had a guess and didn’t dare to be sure.
”It’s possible.” “Moon” Emlyn agreed with Mr. “Inverted Man” after a moment’s thought.
Then he looked around the room and smiled:
”You may begin your selection.”
”Audrey “Justice” had the “Luck Stealer” spell promised by Mr. World, and Leonard “Star” had the corresponding spell from old man Palles. Leonard “Star” also got the corresponding reward from the old man Palles, for the blood viscount “gave” the trophies they all acted calmly and soberly, no one grabbed the first to open their mouths, and politely waited for the others to pick first.
In addition, one of them personally experienced the battle of the angelic level, one witnessed the horror of Amon’s split, and both confirmed that the Tarot will lurk a powerful force, at this time it is inevitable that some mental fatigue.
”The Trial,” Hugh looked to his right and then across the room, and seeing that all were humbled, took the initiative to break the silence:
”The Part 1 am responsible for is simple enough, without risking too much, and, as Mr. ‘Moon’ has paid sixty pounds in advance, I shall take, let us say, the cash in this money-clip.”
As she spoke, she took the handmade wallet, drew out the bills in it, and said with a quick count:
”£335.”
”Moon,” Emlyn nodded as she looked around the room and saw that no one objected:
”Good.”
As for the handmade wallet, Hugh “The Trial” threw it back into the center of the table and gave it back to Mr. “Moon” to dispose of.
With Hugh taking the lead, “Magician” Voorhees spoke up:
”I only lent ‘Lemanor’s Traveling Notes’ without risk, I’ll take it, the ‘Moon Paper Man’. …… ”
Compared to magical items, the value of such disposable extraordinary things was relatively low.
However, for the “magician” herself, even if she has the qualifications to pick the magical items, she won’t do that, because if she really needs certain abilities of those magical items, she can spend money to ask the corresponding members to “record”, while “Moon Paper Man”, which can replace the “Moon Paper Man”, has a lower value than the “Magical Items”. Paper Man”, a disposable item that could withstand a fatal injury and spiritual piercing instead of herself, could not be “recorded”, and for those who were timid and afraid of death, this was definitely the first choice.
After that, she waited for a while and saw that no one objected before bringing the “Moon Paper Man” to herself.
Emlyn then turned her attention to Ms. Justice, and Leonard “Star” stretched out his hand and said with a smile:
”Ladies first.”
”Justice” Audrey didn’t push back, scanned the items on the table, pointed to the diamond lapel pin, and said with a light smile:
”I’ll take it.”
She had just heard Mr. Moon mention it, and knew that it was called “Alcohol Buster”, which could keep the wearer’s energy high and mind clear, and effectively counteract the effects of the mind.
Luckily, for insurance purposes, I used “Bribe – Charm” first, plus Ones just woke up from a dream and is in a semi-conscious state, otherwise, I may not be able to hypnotize him …… This item is also useful to me, at least when facing the higher level members of the Psychological Alchemy Society, I have an extra layer of protection. A layer of protection …… Usually, you can not wear it and do not have to worry about the negative effects …… Audrey, slightly grateful and quite satisfied, withdrew her gaze from the diamond lapel pin.
After she finished her selection, “Moon” Emlyn didn’t give “Star” Leonard a chance to speak and said directly:
”This ‘Moon Ribbon’ is yours.”
In his opinion, this “moon ribbon” is worth more than 5000 pounds, certainly better than 3000 pounds cash.
In fact, I kind of want 3,000 pounds of cash …… I’m going to buy the “words of the sea” cane next, Klein discounted price is 10,000 pounds …… After spending this, I only have 650 pounds savings pounds in savings …… Leonard finally did not refuse, nodded his head:
”Good.”
”Moon,” Emlyn said as he finished distributing the loot, picked up the remaining 3,000 pounds in cash, split a wad and pushed it to the side:
”Mr. ‘Inverted Man’, here’s your fee, 1000 pounds.”
”Consulting fees, I should say.” Without Mr. Fool, Mr. Forsythe the Magician was much more relaxed.
Alger “The Inverted Man” did not make himself polite, nodded gently, and reached out to press the wad of bills with his palm.
”Compensation for the coachman is also at my expense.” “The moon,” Emlyn said moodily, looking around the room again.
……
It was eleven o’clock Wednesday night at the entrance to the south bank of the Beckland Bridge.
A figure sketched quickly into the deep night, one hand pressed against his bowler hat, the other resting between the buttons of his formal attire.
With dark hair and brown pupils, a sharp profile and a cold expression, he was none other than the strongest adventurer, Germaine Sparrow.
