The Faceless Man Chapter 221 – Mausoleum and Reward
Know? Klein’s heart was so happy that he asked in a hurry:
”Where?”
In his heart, he was already prepared to pay the “consultation fee”.
Sharon sat there without any unnecessary movements, just like a talking mannequin, saying:
”In a party Maric attended, someone once discovered an ancient noble’s mausoleum, they explored the periphery and didn’t dare to go deeper, but there were traces of human-skinned phantom activity found.
”They hoped to recruit up a team strong enough to fully excavate that mausoleum and split the valuable items inside equally.”
Looking for help in a gathering of extraordinary people who were not familiar with each other, what could either side do to ensure that the other was trustworthy? What if there was no mausoleum at all and it was just a pre-determined trap? Klein’s thoughts flashed, and he asked in tandem:
”Have they been successful?”
”Yes.” Sharon answered succinctly in her words.
This …… Klein did not pursue the details for the moment, and suppressed his voice to avoid being heard by the coachman:
”And then?”
”Then they were never seen again.” Sharon calmly described, “One of the members was a friend of Maric’s, and he also completely disappeared in this matter.”
Without waiting for Klein to ask any more questions, she continued in that disembodied, drifting voice:
”Maric found some of his friend’s belongings, and I used divination to track them to White Cliffs, where I found a hidden entrance to a mausoleum at a bend in the Stortford River, and Maric’s friend was inside, but dead.”
”You went in?” Crane asked offhandedly.
”No. Determined another way.” Sharon explained slightly, “The mausoleum felt dangerous to me, and I didn’t try to explore it.”
With that said, she looked straight at Klein with her azure eyes and said:
”If you don’t have a Sequence 4 Extraordinary or a corresponding level of seal as a helper, it’s best not to go deeper into that mausoleum.”
Even you think it’s dangerous, I don’t need to go above the gray mist for divination to know exactly how scary …… Klein lowered his gaze and looked at the floor of the carriage, thinking for a few seconds and said:
”Any idea which ancient noble’s tomb it is?”
Sharon answered without pause:
”His last name was:
”Amon.”
Amon? The member of Amon’s family who had been hosted in the little sun and had nearly infiltrated the mysterious space above the gray mist? Klein used his “Joker” ability to control the slight fluttering of his eyelids and asked suspiciously:
”Are you sure?”
In this instant, a figure had already appeared in his mind:
Black classical robes, same color pointed hat, wide forehead, thin face, black eyes, black hair, wearing a crystal monocle.
Sharon’s light blonde hair reflected the light that penetrated the mists outside the window like a master’s painting, and she said flatly as usual:
”Based on the items harvested from the initial exploration, a member of the party who specializes in ancient history judged that the owner of the mausoleum belongs to the Tudor Dynasty of the Fourth Age, and the family name is Amon.”
What a “blasphemer” family of the Fourth Age… …… This family wasn’t plagued by a curse like the Abrahams, nor was it like the Antigonus family, which was straight up destroyed by the church of one of the gods… …
According to the specialness and power of that Amon in the Silver City, the situation of this family could be compared to that of the Chaletus, all of which are secretly inherited, all of which have strong survivors of a high order, even to the angelic level, and all of which keep certain vital secrets, such as the “coordinates” of the “Godforsaken Land”…. “……
Such a family tomb, the danger can be imagined, perhaps that Amon will also use some changes, from the distant “God-forsaken land” to cast eyes …… can not use the situation of the middle and low sequence of people to speculate on the terrible demigods and half-humans! ……
Klein didn’t ponder for long before dismissing the possibility of exploring the tomb of the Amon family.
He looked up at Sharon in slight disappointment:
”Is there only a human skin specter there?”
Sharon shook her head:
”No.”
”Hmm?” Klein’s eyes lit up and he assumed a listening stance.
Sharon said with no change in her voice:
”At a party I attended, an Extraordinary promised to fulfill any reasonable request from someone who could complete the task she gave, with a limit of ‘below High Sequence’ in terms of materials.”
”That is to say, any kind of extraordinary material below high sequence, she can give?” The first thought that surfaced in Klein’s mind was: bragging, right?
Even the Church of the Goddess of Darkness would have to have the Holy Church, the Church of Serenity, to have this possibility!
And many of these materials didn’t need to be always available, because they simply couldn’t be used.
Facing Klein’s skepticism, Sharon calmly responded:
”She is a high sequence powerhouse.”
A high sequence powerhouse? No wonder …… this is all the top echelons of the various hidden organizations of the major churches now, and even if they don’t belong to any party themselves, they will adsorb to establish their own forces! However, the promise of any of the extraordinary materials below the High Sequence must also have moisture ah …… Klein had a flurry of thoughts for a moment.
Sharon added succinctly:
”She did say that certain materials require a certain period.”
That’s right! Klein asked with considerable interest:
”What kind of tasks did she give?”
Sharon kept her seat dignified and straight:
”Investigate the true identity of the chivalrous thief ‘Black Emperor’.”
…… Klein believed that if he was drinking water at this moment, he must have sprayed it across the room uncontrollably.
Who have I recruited and who have I pissed off, why am I being targeted by a high sequence powerhouse? He first shouted an injustice in his heart in Chinese, then quickly analyzed the possible targets:
A member of the Dusk Hermit Society? Because of the “Black Emperor” who killed the “Apostle of Desire” Belial?
Members of the Aurora Society? Did they associate the tarot cards left at the scene of the Karpin incident with “The Fool” and decide to investigate the Grand Theft “Black Emperor”?
Members of the Three Churches and MI9? Simply to get to the bottom of the Karpin incident?
Each of them is possible, and each of them can’t be ruled out! Klein didn’t show any abnormalities and asked with deliberation:
”Why is she investigating the true identity of the Rogue Thief ‘Black Emperor’?”
”No one knows.” Sharon replied in the most succinct of words.
Klein thought for two seconds and organized his words:
”What’s she like? I’m wondering if I should take this mission.”
Sharon was silent for two seconds, as if recalling.
Then, she described:
”Female, over 5’7″, well-proportioned, long chestnut hair, has made disguises, loves to wear black leather boots, only occasionally attends parties, first appeared more than two months ago.”
Love to wear black leather boots, female, high sequence strongman …… These three keywords together, immediately evoked a certain memory of Klein!
When he went to the Kingdom Museum to steal the “Black Emperor” card, he encountered a mysterious and bizarre high serial powerhouse in the study of the restored Emperor Rossel, and the other party only revealed her feet in black leather boots, and when he escaped with the help of the power of the gray mist, he directly crashed into the side effects of the “Universal Key”. By the time he escaped with the power of the gray mist, he had run straight into a demonic dog due to the side effects of the “key to everything”, and had to cry out for help, so he met the female demigod again as Sherlock Moriarty.
Her? Why is she looking for the Black Emperor? She recognized that the thief who stole the Blasphemy Card was a spirit, and knowing what happens when a spirit carries and holds the Black Emperor’s card, she targeted the Grand Theft “Black Emperor” with matching characteristics! “Black Emperor”? Klein quickly thought of a very convincing possibility.
The only thing that puzzled him was how the other party knew that she had taken the “Black Emperor” card and not some other card, such as the “Abyss” card or the “Sun” card.
Unless she came here for the “Blasphemy” card, and had already investigated that it was the “Black Emperor” card in advance …… Well, Ms. Sharon said that she first attended the party more than two months ago, which is consistent with the goal of the Roselle exhibition. This is consistent with the characteristics of the target of the exhibition in Roselle …… After that, she occasionally participated in it, and did not leave Berkland, or returned regularly, in order to find the enemy who took the “Black Emperor” card… …Klein said with a slight smile as his thoughts electrified:
”I’ll keep an eye out for her, hopefully I’ll get something.”
It would never pay off in this lifetime! He added mentally without hesitation.
Sharon nodded her head almost imperceptibly and said nothing more about the “human skin ghost”.
Obviously, she only had two leads, but that was better than the circle of the vampire Emlyn White and the Wise Eye, Eisinger Stanton.
Klein exhaled slowly, masking his disappointment and caring with a gesture of pleasantries:
”You and Maric aren’t plagued by the curse anymore, are you?”
”There is only one Crimson Moon Coronet.” Sharon responded calmly.
–“The Crimson Moon Coronet is a coveted item by the Fae, as those who wear it are immune to the effects of the full moon.”
That is to say, one is fine and the other is business as usual …… When affected by the full moon, Maric will be nearly insane and Ms. Sharon will lose her power, so it seems to be Maric who is using …… Klein thoughtfully changed the subject:
”Have you guys found a way to decontaminate the spirit of those out of control in the Remarkable Characteristics of ‘Spiteful Soul’ Steve’s Legacy?”
He asked casually, not holding out much hope, believing that it was better to be sure on the side of his fellow “Sun” students.
”No.” Sharon acted as if she was talking about someone else’s business.
Maybe I’ll sell you guys on this in the future, hopefully you’ve already saved up your golden pounds …… Klein let out a “hmmm” and suddenly didn’t know what to talk about.
He paused for a few seconds before asking:
”Where is White Cliffs?”
”Outside of Berkland, south of Bridge South.” Sharon replied rather succinctly.
She looked into Klein’s eyes again:
”Nothing else?”
”No.” Klein shook his head first, then whirled around and asked, “Can I tell anyone about that mausoleum?”
”Yes.”
Sharon’s figure in a long black court dress and a compact fedora quickly faded and disappeared inside the carriage carriage.
Perhaps to hide herself, she had never been in the habit of spraying perfume, leaving behind only an empty environment once again.
