Chapter 561 Spiritual Mist
In a hotel somewhere on Mon Carlo Island, Dorothy sat on the sofa in a luxurious room, looking focused and quiet. At this moment, her thoughts were focused on the corpse Ed in a coastal park in the southwest of the island. Through him, Dorothy listened to the advice on how to find Petherim, but Dorothy still had many questions in her heart about this advice.
"Edward Gibbs... the ruler of Mon Carlo, a former great pirate... it's not surprising that he has the means to find a 'shadow' of the level of a red master in his own territory. However, from what we know, it may be difficult to deal with him."
Sitting on a bench in the park, Ed analyzed the information he had just obtained and muttered under Dorothy's control, while the woman in blue next to him continued to speak.
"It's more than difficult. It's extremely difficult. I heard that Edward is very suspicious, and he has become even more suspicious as he gets older. Now he basically lives alone in his fortress, secretly controlling the situation in Mon Carlo, and rarely contacts outsiders. In the eyes of the local mortals in Mon Carlo, Edward is an ancient figure who died a long time ago."
The woman in blue said this, and as Dorothy listened to her words, she began to recall the information she had collected about Edward.
Many years ago, Edward, who founded Mon Carlo, retreated behind the scenes and no longer appeared in public. Now Mon Carlo is openly run by the most outstanding of Edward's many descendants. The reclusive Edward will not meet any outsiders unless there are particularly important matters. The only people who can see him are his most trusted children.
"According to our intelligence, it's going to be difficult to meet Edward..."
While Dorothy was thinking, Ed said thoughtfully, and at this time the woman in blue spoke again.
"That's right. Now the old pirate only sees his own children except for very important matters. However, there are nuns from the Church of Radiance visiting Moncarlo right now. This may be the time for him to go out and meet people. You may be able to contact Edward through this gathering."
"Meet Vanya? Sorry, that old guy is so arrogant. There is no plan for Vanya to meet Edward in Mon Carlo."
The woman in blue suggested this, and after listening to her suggestion, Dorothy continued to complain in her heart. Knowing Vanya's entire itinerary, she knew that Edward had no intention of meeting Vanya from the beginning to the end, and it was estimated that only the Archbishop could visit in person to invite him.
"Although Vanya Chafillon is very popular and famous now, she is just a young Relic Inspector after all. Her diplomatic level is not high enough to force Edward to personally entertain her... Apart from this option, do you have any other suggestions that can facilitate contact with Edward?"
Ed said to the woman in blue in a negative tone. Hearing Ed's words, the woman in blue's face couldn't help but darken, and then she said with a frown.
"Well... if he doesn't even want to see that nun, I can't think of any other way to contact him for the time being..." Grabbing her head, the woman in blue said with a hint of distress on her face, and Ed continued to ask at this time.
"Even if we can successfully contact Edward, how can we convince him to use his trump card to help? That kind of thing is not something that can be persuaded by just talking casually..."
"Hmm... I'm not too sure about this aspect, but if you can give Edward some benefits that he would like as a bargaining chip, he should be able to help in exchange..."
"Then, how big is the bargaining chip that can be used to invite the great pirate Chicheng and the Mon Carlo? The Mystic Scale Incense Cage originally belongs to you. We are just borrowing it, so this bargaining chip cannot be paid by our family alone. Can you give Edward a bargaining chip that will make his heart beat?"
With a very serious expression, Ed continued to speak to the woman in blue in front of him. After hearing these words, the woman in blue looked even more troubled. She touched her chin and said with some embarrassment.
"Well... um... Well... To be honest, we have been badly hurt since we were severely damaged by the Moth Sect. We really can't come up with any bargaining chips to impress that old pirate...
"How about this! If we can't come up with a plan that can impress the old pirate, then we won't ask him for help. Think about it, although he is a Red Cheng-level Extraordinary, he doesn't have a 'Lamp' and he doesn't have the status of the church to see him. The Red Cheng who can find the 'Shadow' is very likely to rely on some powerful Extraordinary item. Maybe we can find a way to sneak into his fortress and steal that thing out!"
The woman in blue said this. Hearing her words, Dorothy, who was sitting on the sofa in the guest room in the distance, couldn't help but slap her forehead. Then, Ed said to the woman in blue who made the three-dimensional and outrageous suggestion with a helpless look on her face.
"It's not easy to steal something from a territory that has been run by a Chicheng-level extraordinary leader for many years, not to mention that we don't know what the thing is. Even if we miraculously steal it, it will anger Edward. Then, together with Serinpu, we will have two powerful enemies on this Mon Carlo. Are you ready to fight two Chicheng-level leaders at the same time?"
"Ah... this... it seems like it's a little dangerous to provoke two Chicheng at the same time..."
Listening to Ed's words, the woman in blue also spoke thoughtfully. Looking at her current appearance, Dorothy found that if she continued to discuss with her, she would not get any results at all, so she let Ed sigh slightly and continued.
"Okay, young lady, the information you brought is very useful to us. Next, I need to report this information and discuss countermeasures with my companions. Please accept this. If there is anything in the future, we will contact you through it."
As he spoke, Ed took out a small notebook from his coat and handed it to the woman in blue beside him. The woman in blue took it and began to look at it curiously.
"Is this... an extraordinary item? How did it work?"
"It's very simple, just look at the words that appear and then copy them with a pen..." In response to the words of the woman in blue, Ed stood up from the park bench and said, then after taking another look at the woman in blue on the seat, he picked up his hat, bowed slightly, and then said.
"Well, I'll take my leave now. We'll contact you after we come up with a solution. See you later, Miss Fox."
After finishing speaking, Ed turned around and left quickly. Listening to Ed's words, the woman in blue was stunned for a moment, and it took her a long time to react.
"Ms. Fox... He knows I'm a fox? When did this get exposed?"
…
After a brief contact with the little fox in her dream, Dorothy found Ed and rushed over quickly. Dorothy had communicated with the little fox many times as the dragon Pathurnax, and knew all the tones and habits of the little fox clearly. Although the other party came in hiding his identity this time, he did not disguise or change his speaking habits at all. These few times also allowed Dorothy to recognize the other party's identity at a glance.
