Chapter 160 Seizing the Opportunity
On Tuesday morning, Klein, who had finished his occult studies course, did not find a quiet place to read the internal materials such as "Comparison of Ancient and Modern Object Names" and "Nighthawk Case Collection" as before. Instead, he stayed in the recreation room and talked with Leonard , Ke Enli, and Luo Yao played cards.
I just asked Mr. Ards to create an opportunity to bring out the sealed item "-0782"...Whether I can seize this opportunity depends on my own performance on the spot...Klein's mind is not on the poker table at all, So much so that he missed again and again, losing 5 soli within an hour, which made him feel distressed, and planned to focus on it first to recover some losses.
——After buying various materials for the "Sun Flame Charm" yesterday afternoon, his private house money dropped to less than 1 pound again, and he also had to pay 2 soli a day for renting a carriage to check houses with dark red chimneys.
While waiting for Kenley to shuffle the cards, he boredly picked up the copper penny in front of him and spun it around.
Suddenly, he saw Luo Yao staring at him very seriously.
What's wrong? Klein was taken aback for a moment, and then saw the crumbling copper penny.
...Is this to warn me of cheating with divination techniques? There's no need to be so serious about playing cards among teammates... He understood instantly, smiled dryly and pressed down the 1p coin.
At this moment, Dunn Smith knocked on the door and entered, looked around and said:
"There are some situations in Morse Town, Leonard, you go and deal with them."
Morse town? Klein lifted his spirits and asked curiously:
"Captain, what's the matter?"
Dunn swept his gray eyes and explained casually:
"In the past few days, there have been several suspected haunted incidents. First, when someone was passing by the cemetery, they heard crying inside and saw vague shadows flashing by. Then, a widow woke up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom. On the way, she met her deceased husband, who almost fainted from fright. In addition, there was an old man living alone who always heard the sound of heavy footsteps echoing in the house, but as long as he lit candles or gas lamps, everything returned to silence. The residents of this small town generally believe in goddesses, and the local priests directly reported the situation."
It didn't hurt anyone, it was closer to a prank...Mr. Ards should have made it... Klein said with a rehearsed expression and tone: "Captain, there have been several suspected haunted events suddenly, and there may be some hidden ghosts behind them." Secret, in this regard, divination can give some enlightenment, I think I can help Leonard."
Hearing this sentence,
Leonard's green eyes immediately fixed on Klein, as if he wanted to find clues and traces from the other's face.
Dunn nodded first, then hesitated.
Seeing the captain's reaction, Klein immediately added another sentence:
"Some things may need ritual magic to completely purify at the end."
"It makes sense." Dunn thought for a while and said, "Then you and Leonard go to Morse Town together."
Without waiting for others to speak, he added himself: "Well, you probably won't be able to catch up with the fighting practice in the afternoon. I will find someone to notify Gao Wen."
Phew, the first step is complete... Klein secretly let out a breath, and quickly packed up Su Le and Penny in front of him.
In the middle of it, his movements suddenly froze, he looked sideways at Dunn, and said solemnly:
"Captain, I think we must prevent the worst. If there is a powerful resentful spirit behind the haunting incident, it may be very dangerous if Leonard and I are alone. The city of Tingen to the small town of Morse , It takes two, uh, three hours, right? Even if we send a telegram in time for help, it will take a long time..."
"So?" Dunn interrupted his description.
"I hope to get the help of another teammate." Klein pretended to be thinking, "And, according to the regulations, three or more Nighthawks can apply for the use of ''level sealed items, um,'—0782 ' is best suited to address this aspect of the problem."
Hearing this, Leonard next to him laughed and said:
"This is indeed your style. Be cautious, be careful, and never take risks."
You seem to be saying that I am cowardly... I am the one who has looked directly at the "Eternal Blazing Sun"! Klein pretended not to hear Leonard's words, looked at Dunn Smith sincerely and said:
"Captain, what's your opinion?"
"Accidents must be prevented. There have been too many coincidences recently..." Dunn nodded as if thinking about it, and glanced at the other two team members, "Kornli, you and Leonard and Klein are going to Moscow together." Erles Township, uh, quickly draw up an application, and after I sign it, go to Chanis Gate and take out the sealed item '—0782'."
"Okay." Ke Enli, who was not tall, put down the cards in his hand.
OK! Klein clenched his fists in his heart and cheered, but on the surface he looked anxious and cautious.
At this moment, Sika Thon was monitoring Hood Eugene in the madhouse, and Frye was on duty at the Chanis Gate.
After leaving the recreation room, Klein put on a black tuxedo, took his hat and cane, and waited for Kenley at the stairs leading to the ground with Leonard.
There was no one around, it was quiet and deserted, Leonard suddenly turned his head to look at Klein and said:
"I think you'd better give up your unrealistic fantasies."
"Ah... what?" Klein responded blankly.
Leonard took a step forward, stood on the edge of the stairs, looked down at the deep place below and said:
"Even in the mission, it is impossible for you to discover my secret and understand my special place."
...Student, don't be so narcissistic, okay... So you thought that I took the initiative to apply for this mission to observe you secretly? I never thought of such a thing! Klein was stunned at first, then let out a hey:
"How can you be sure that my specialness can't help me discover your secret?"
Leonard's expression was a little dignified, but he immediately smiled and said:
"Really? Then I wait for your discovery."
When I collect more information and items, I will go above the gray mist and do a divination for you, thank you! Klein responded with defamation.
Not long after, the short and slender Kenli appeared on the winding stairs holding the "Mutated Sun Sacred Emblem".
Feeling that unique warmth and purity, Klein quietly breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he had finally completed the first and most difficult step in his plan to steal the divine blood power of the "Eternal Blazing Sun".
Then, the group of three left the Blackthorn Security Company, came to Zouterand Street, and walked towards the carriage belonging to the Nighthawks team.
"...The purification effect won't affect the horses, right?" Kenli suddenly asked a little uneasy, "I don't want a horse-drawn cart that can only 'praise the sun'..."
He has been a Nighthawk for only longer than Klein, and his experience is far from rich.
"No, the sealed item '-0782' only purifies creatures with higher intelligence." Klein replied in a low voice.
If it weren't for this, I wouldn't be bitten by mosquitoes... he added dully in his mind.
"So it's like this... Hehe, I didn't read the information carefully enough at the time." Keenli pressed his black top hat and suddenly smiled.
Because Klein has not mastered the skill of driving a carriage, for the next three hours, he sat in the carriage, caressing the sealed item "-0782" in his palm, while leisurely watching Leonard and Kenley take turns driving. .
At lunch time, they finally arrived in the small town of Morse.
"It's so beautiful..." Keenli got off the carriage, looked at the endless golden wheat fields around the town, and sincerely admired it.
The date symbolizing the "Volcano Constellation" is coming to an end, and the "Harvest Constellation" will soon dominate everyone's life.
Leonard stood at the driver's seat, looked around, opened his mouth, as if he wanted to compose a sonnet for the occasion.
But in the end, he only choked out one sentence:
"It's so beautiful."
Klein suppressed his smile, put on his top hat, grabbed his cane, and got out of the carriage.
At this time, a middle-aged man in a black priest's uniform came over and drew the crimson moon on his chest:
"Praise the goddess, are you friends sent by the Church of St. Selina to help us?"
"Yes, Priest Sierre, may the goddess bless you." Leonard jumped off the carriage and responded with a smile, "We are here to deal with the recent haunting incidents."
"Suspicious, suspicious." The gray-haired and blue-eyed Sier saw many townspeople approaching, so he hurriedly emphasized.
The town of Morse is not big, no matter which direction you go, you can enter the plains in at most ten minutes. It is hard for people who live here not to know each other.
Therefore, when many townspeople who were eagerly waiting for the Church of Evernight to send someone to solve the problem saw the priest welcoming the three strangers, they surrounded them with unconcealed curiosity and concern. Some stood on tiptoe, some tried their best to listen. .
Leonard chuckled lightly and said:
"Priest, don't worry, we are professionals. You see, we have brought holy water, silver dagger, dark holy emblem, and garlic."
As he spoke, he pulled out the item described from the inside pocket of his clothes as if by magic.
garlic? Do you want to smoke ghosts to death with a stimulating smell? Klein watched Leonard's performance angrily and amusedly.
Siere looked confused, and even began to wonder if the St. Selina Church had hired a group of liars.
The surrounding townspeople all showed gratified smiles, as if they were finally rescued.
Leonard approached Priest Sierre and explained in a low voice next to his ear:
"That's all they believe..."
Without waiting for the other party to come back to his senses, he added:
"We'll go to church for lunch first, and then we'll deal with those incidents."
Yes, lunch is very important... After dealing with those "spiritual events", that is, when I take turns guarding the sealed item "-0782", I will have the opportunity to make the "Sun Flame Charm"... I hope everything goes well... "Sun Flame Talisman" Of course, it has to be produced during the day to achieve the best results... Klein was thinking expectantly beside him.
