"Well... According to the information we know, this place was indeed just a wasteland in the past. But we didn't expect that Mon Carlo would develop so quickly. In such a short time, it has been built into a paradise. Times have really changed..." After listening to Ed's words, the woman was slightly startled and then spoke, looking around as she spoke. Ed looked at her a few more times and then continued to speak.

"My lady, you are not using your own body, right? Is this the sleepwalking body you controlled in your dream?"

"Ah no...you, how did you know? You secretly detected me?" Listening to Ed's words, a hint of surprise emerged in the expression of the blue-clothed woman. As she spoke to Ed in surprise, a hint of vigilance and dissatisfaction appeared in her eyes. In such a meeting between extraordinary people, using extraordinary detection on the other party right from the start is a very impolite and offensive behavior.

"Haha, young lady, you have misunderstood... I did not use any detection methods, nor did I have any extra spiritual power to do these meaningless things. The reason why I know that you are not using your body is just the conclusion I got through simple observation." With a smile, Ed spoke to the woman in front of him. After hearing this, the woman couldn't help but speak with a startled expression.

"Simply...observation?"

"Yes, this body of yours is wearing high heels, but you seem to be very uncomfortable with the shoes. The clothes you are wearing have a certain body-binding effect, and your movements also inadvertently reveal your discomfort with this kind of body-binding. So I guess that the body you are using may not be your own... If you are looking for a person to control in the future, it is best to find one that suits your own dressing habits."

Ed smiled and explained to the woman in front of him. After listening to Ed's words, the woman couldn't help but suddenly realized something. Then she frowned and looked at her body for a while, then muttered in a complaining voice.

"Well... I just wanted to use this young lady's body because she was dressed so beautifully... I didn't expect beauty also has a price, and it's so uncomfortable to wear..."

Listening to the words of the woman in front of him, Ed still had a smile on his face. He did not continue to discuss this topic in depth, but started to get to the point.

"Okay, let's get down to business now, miss. Let me introduce myself first. I am a member of the Rosicrucian, the 'Detective', responsible for contacting you during this operation. I have learned some general information about you from the 'Bachelor', the followers of the Butterfly God."

Listening to Ed getting straight to the point, the woman in blue couldn't help but pause for a moment. Then she stopped worrying about what she was wearing, immediately adjusted her state and attitude, and began to discuss business.

"Ah, hello, followers of the god Akka, subordinates of Lord Paarthurnax... Are you serious about trying to seize the Mystic Scale Incense Cage here?"

"Of course, didn't you say before that this is a rare opportunity to take back the divine object that originally belonged to you? Since it is a rare opportunity, you should make good use of it. After the matter is completed, the incense cage can be returned to its original owner. All we need is the power to borrow it at any time."

Ed answered this as a matter of course. The reason why they gathered in Mon Carlo this time was because of the "Shadow" divine object.

"Well, if Xiang Long really has the hope of returning, we will do our best to assist you, but please don't expect us to help you too much. Compared to the big man from the Moth Sect who came to this island, our power is very small..."

The woman in blue spoke to Ed seriously, and Ed nodded and continued speaking.

"It doesn't matter. What we need from you is mainly intelligence information. How much do you know about the big shot of the Black Dream Hunter Group?"

Ed continued to ask, and the woman thought for a while before speaking.

"That person's name is Serimp Punassus. His nickname in the Black Dream is 'Withered Wings'. He is a fully-emerged Scaled Moth Symbiote and an important member of the leadership of the Black Dream Hunting Group. If changed to the mainstream Extraordinary system, he is almost a powerful Red-Matured Extraordinary. This time he came to Mon Carlo to obtain the adventure items of the explorer Revana that are kept here. It is said that this item is likely to be auctioned at a large auction in three days." The blue-clothed woman told Ed this. Ed's face paused after listening, and then he asked back.

"Then do you know what Mr. Ku Chi wants to get?"

"I don't know. Our intelligence is inferred from the fragmentary information sent back by a dark line lurking deep inside the Black Dream. It is very incomplete. Not only is it unclear what Serinpu's purpose is, but we also don't know what Serinpu looks like or what his characteristics are. This may require more research on your side."

The woman in blue said this to Ed. Listening to his words, Ed couldn't help but frown, then he thought for a while before speaking.

"The specific target is unclear... and the characteristics are unclear. This Mon Carlo is so big, it is very difficult to find someone with this kind of clue. However... if he wants to attend the auction in three days, we only need to obtain the list of guests of the auction to narrow the scope of investigation... He doesn't use the sleepwalking control method like you, to remotely control other people to attend the meeting..."

"Don't even think about it. According to our intelligence, Ku Chi is very cautious. He would definitely not go to a place like the auction venue where all kinds of people gather. He must have used a puppet in his dream to escort him. If Mon Carlo was not too far away from Black Dream's base, it would be too risky to escort precious items over long distances without the protection of a powerful person. Ku Chi would not have even come with Mon Carlo and used the dream puppet to do the whole thing."

The woman in blue immediately denied Ed's idea. After hearing that Ku Chi himself would most likely not attend the auction, Ed's expression became more serious, and then he continued to speak.

"In that case, it will be difficult to find him..."

Seeing Ed beside her lost in thought, the woman in blue continued to speak.

"Actually... as for how to find that withered wing, Grandpa... well, I have a suggestion. Maybe you can ask for help from the local forces in Mon Carlo? For example, the local tyrants here?"

"Local forces in Moncarlo? You mean the local gangs here? These people are indeed good at finding mortals, but can they have information about Red Cheng-level Beyonders?"

"No, not these small local snakes, but the big local snake, the biggest one!" Listening to Ed's doubts, the woman in blue continued to speak, but at this time Ed understood what she meant, and he said with a little surprise.

"The biggest local tyrant... you mean the Mon Carlo officials?"

"That's right! It's the South China Sea Giant Shark, the Mon Carlo Viper, the Great Pirate Edward. Mon Carlo is a place he has run for decades. He once roamed the seas and obtained countless extraordinary treasures. He has hidden many powerful means here. Although he is old now, he still relies on these hidden means to be the undisputed king here.

"It was on this island of Mon Carlo that Edward relied on his own background to resist the assassination of other Red Shadows. If you can't find Dead Wing, you can try to find Edward. He should have the means to find a lurker in Mon Carlo."
