Chapter 223 Klein's Request

Seeing the Southwell beer with white and fine foam being placed in front of Sherlock Moriarty, Carlson finally came to his senses.

Waiting for the bartender to move away from here, he pressed his voice and asked:

"what do you want?"

Klein picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and took a few seconds to savor the malt aroma and the faint aftertaste after the bitterness.

"Cheers!" He looked sideways at Carlson and raised his glass with a smile.

Carlson shook his head and rejected his invitation without hesitation, and muttered:

"Your is beer, mine is strong distilled spirits, not suitable for toasting."

Klein himself was just putting on a show, took another sip of the Southwell beer, looked ahead, and said with a smile:

"What I want is simple.

"I don't know what's in the tomb, so I can only describe it vaguely, um... I hope I can pick one from your exploration of the tomb. I'm not greedy, and it won't involve high-level items. , even if there is, I dare not ask for it.

"If you find nothing, or there are only high-level things, then I don't want anything. Of course, I believe that when the latter happens, you will definitely give me a sum of cash, which is in line with the cash I contributed. "

After learning about the Amon Family Mausoleum from Miss Sharron yesterday, he had a rough plan.

The first plan is to blow the copper whistle, contact Mr. Ards, and join hands with him to explore the tomb.

However, there are many potential problems with this plan. One is that Klein does not know how much strength Azik has recovered since he is still looking for memories. The other is that Azik is being pursued by MI9. The other party and himself are in trouble. Third, there is a high probability that Klein will re-enter the sight of the sealed item "0-08". Of course, he has considered the possibility of using the gray fog to complete the communication and exploration, but above the gray fog Blowing the copper whistle couldn't summon the messenger at all, so the follow-up idea was stuck.

More importantly, Klein does not dare yet, nor does he want to reveal the secrets above the gray mist to the unidentified Azik Eggers.

Therefore, he finally chose the second option, which is to use his identity as an informant to hand over the information to the "Mechanical Heart" and ask for a corresponding and reasonable reward.

In terms of the number of high-sequence powerhouses, would there be more forces than the seven churches?

As far as Klein knows, in the Church of the Evernight Goddess, there are nearly ten high-sequence powerhouses, that is to say, nearly half of the thirteen archbishops and nine senior deacons have reached or exceeded Sequence 4, and this does not include the goddess's dependents. Or, His Holiness the Pope who is in charge of the church.

Even if the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery is not as good in this respect, it won't be too far behind. Horamick Haydn, the archbishop of their Backlund diocese, is a high-sequence powerhouse.

And this kind of orthodox church with a lot of accumulation doesn't pay much, very, very much attention to things in the middle sequence. Klein thinks that he has a chance to negotiate a reasonable "price".

In short, the core elements of the second plan are:

If you have difficulties, find an organization!

Hearing the price offered by Klein, Carlson was stunned for a second before blurting out and asking:

"Aren't you a believer in God?"

My heart has always been a goddess... Klein drew a triangular holy emblem on his chest:

"It is because of my belief in God that I tell you this news, instead of revealing it to the Nighthawks through Mr. Stanton.

"God said, may he who is strong make himself strong. Only when I become stronger and have more money, can I access more channels and master more resources, so as to provide you with better and more effective information."

In order to convince the "heart of machinery", he deliberately flipped through the "Book of Steam and Machinery" that he bought earlier in the morning to decorate the facade, found a few quotes from the gods that met his needs, and carefully memorized them.

Carlson couldn't refute for a moment, stayed there and forgot to drink.

Seeing this, Klein quickly added another sentence:

"And it will help you to establish a harmonious and efficient new era informant relationship,

As long as you publicize the rewards I got for this, and your commitment to keep your promises, I believe that other informants will be deeply moved and motivated, and will do their best to collect useful information for you.

"Of course, I hope to use my pseudonym when promoting."

Carlson listened with a dull expression, picked up the wine glass, Gulu took a big sip, and almost choked.

"Hey, Sherlock, the real you is completely different from the one I thought of you before." He sighed.

The detective Sherlock Moriarty in his memory was good at analysis and reasoning, extremely calm, extremely polite, and provided very effective advice with a sense of justice. He was an outstanding believer in God.

And now the opponent...

Klein took a sip of his beer and gave a low laugh:

"Everyone has different aspects, and it is easy to make mistakes when replacing the whole with a single aspect. This is a problem that must be paid attention to when reasoning."

Carlson calmed down for a moment, stood up and said:

"I have no right to agree to a similar request. I will report it immediately. You wait here for a while."

"Okay." Klein beckoned to the bartender and added a serving of French fries.

After he finished his food and drank his beer slowly, Ikanser Bernard, the deacon of "Mechanical Heart", brought Carlson back to the bar.

"Your request is fine, but there must be one additional point, that is, items with strong side effects and curse effects are not included in the selection." Ikanser looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he said in a deep voice.

What I want is materials... Klein smiled immediately:

"it is good!

"I take the liberty to ask again, is this your personal decision, or is it a response from the higher-ups?"

"I have the right to make such a decision." Ikanser pressed his shaggy hair with a hat, "However, because the matter involved the noble tombs of the Fourth Epoch, I sent a telegram to the archbishop, and he did not object in his reply. "

"Okay." Klein drew a triangular holy emblem again, "I will tell you the information now."

Ikanser subconsciously shook his head.

He looked around, pointed to a billiard room and said:

"Let's go in and talk."

This deacon who is always publicly executed by the mirror called Arrods is very experienced... Klein muttered, followed Ikanser and Carlson into the billiard room, and made sure that the left and right rooms were empty.

Klein paused for a few seconds, then said after deliberation:

"The thing is like this, a Extraordinary found a hidden mausoleum at the bend of the Stratford River in White Cliff Town, explored the periphery, and found some items.

"Afterwards, they recruited people to do further exploration, but no one came back. If you go there and search carefully, you will definitely find corresponding traces."

After listening carefully, Ikanser asked:

"Are you sure it's a noble tomb from the Fourth Epoch?"

"Those items on the outside can prove to be members of the Amon family of the Tudor dynasty." Klein replied truthfully, and reminded, "The Extraordinary who died inside are not weak, and there are quite a few of them. I don't think this tomb is high The following sequence can be explored."

"Amon..." Ikanser frowned instinctively.

It can be seen that as a deacon, he has the authority to know some ancient secrets.

Without waiting for Klein to emphasize again, he raised his eyes and said:

“We will collect relevant information before taking action.

"The tombs of nobles in the Fourth Epoch are very dangerous. Don't share this information with others, or go explore by yourself, otherwise you and your friends will only lose their lives."

If I dared, I wouldn't be sitting here... Klein laughed at himself and said:

"My credit has always been good."

After reaching the deal and watching Ikanser and Carlson leave, he put on his hat and walked slowly to the door of the "Lucky" bar.

For the great nobles of the Fourth Epoch, and for the Amon family, the "Mechanical Heart" is still very cautious. They will have to prepare for at least a few days before launching their actions... Cautious... Klein's random thoughts suddenly froze on a single word superior.

He remembered another thing that was enough to be called cautious:

After Roselle joined the ancient organization suspected to be the "Twilight Hermit Society", in his secret diary written in Chinese, he never mentioned the name of the other party, and every time he used the corresponding characteristics to refer to it.

This is a phenomenon that is so cautious that it makes people suspicious!

Why did Emperor Roselle dare not mention the name of that organization, even in Chinese? This is completely different from the style in which he dared to record everything in his diary... What is he afraid of, what is he worried about? Could it be that as long as the name of the "Twilight Hermit Society" is spoken or written down, no matter what language is used, it will be known to them? One of their members or a certain sealed item has a similar ability? Klein had a guess, but there was no way to prove it unless he was willing to take the risk of trying.

It is assumed to be true, but I am not perceived by them, because the "psychic" apostle of desire is above the gray fog, telling Miss "Justice" to respond to prayers with the help of the gray fog... Well, it will be Monday again soon, I have to remind Miss Justice at the Tarot Society not to say or record the name "Twilight Hermit Society". As for the reason, give her a look and let her understand... Klein will soon have After making follow-up arrangements, he strode away from the "Lucky" bar.

Seeing that it was still early, he took the carriage directly to the Kragg Club, intending to spend the afternoon there.

As soon as he entered the hall, he saw the equestrian teacher Talim Dumont.

This noble descendant was sitting in the corner, holding a glass of scarlet wine, with a ruddy face, sipping it excitedly.

"Talim, you seem to be in a good mood." Klein greeted with a smile.

Talim laughed and said:

"Because the new year is coming."

After speaking, he asked quite excitedly: "Sherlock, do you know what it's like to really like someone?"

...Klein smirked:

"Sorry, I'm still single."

"That's such a pity, well, I have to get busy." Talim drank the rest of the wine, got up and waved.

"By the way, thank you for introducing Mr. Franmy Cage." Klein remembered the investment in the bicycle project, and sincerely thanked him, "When are you free recently? I would like to invite you to take me to taste Backlund's Food."

"After the New Year." Talim put on his hat and walked towards the reception hall with a smile.

Is this guy in love season? Klein couldn't help muttering.

He had just turned around and walked a few steps when he suddenly heard a heavy thud.

Klein turned his head abruptly, and saw Talim Dumont lying on the ground, his left hand firmly pressing on the position of his heart, his body twitching continuously.

This... Klein rushed over in a few steps.

But at this time Talim had finished foaming at the mouth and lost the last breath of life.

In just a few seconds, he who was still smiling just now turned into a dead body.
