What is Backlund planning? Is it a continuation of the last smog incident? Alger, the "Hanged Man", and Cattleya, the "Hermit", speculated and paid attention to the case of Baron Sinders being framed and the attack on Senator Macht. They were each preparing to obtain more detailed information through the corresponding channels to see if they could find anything unusual.
They were not in a hurry and had no intention of asking the World Gehrman Sparrow what his intentions or plans were. They felt that the other party would not give a detailed answer and would only give a brief answer at most. Therefore, they planned to collect intelligence first, conduct a peripheral investigation, and then decide on the follow-up based on the specific situation.
At the same time, they suddenly discovered that announcing the identity of "Dwayne Dantès" to the Tarot Club seemed to be a good hand. In the future, as long as they paid attention to the news about this wealthy businessman, they would be able to initially grasp some of the actions of Mr. Fool's followers, and thus tacitly cooperate or provide help. This was also a fake identity, so once the problem was exposed, it could be thrown away immediately.
Likewise, they can also indirectly "testify" for this identity, making Dwayne Dantes more real. The simplest example is that if this wealthy businessman has a maritime background, then the "Hermit" Cattleya can instill the corresponding information to her crew, friends, partners, etc., making them feel from the bottom of their hearts that such a guy really exists. When the official organization tries to investigate Dwayne Dantes's origins, they will find that this person really exists and the incident really happened!
In the brief silence, Audrey Justice was about to respond to Mr. World's words when she saw Mr. Moon sitting up straight, looking at the bottom of the bronze table, and asked:
“What is this public identity used for?
"Miss Justice just mentioned the case of the baron being framed and the congressman being attacked. Are there deeper problems?"
As a resident of Backlund, Emlyn the Moon is still very concerned about the living environment.
You ask so many questions, why don't you investigate it yourself? In order not to be drawn into the vortex, I have already jumped out on my own initiative... Klein criticized Emlyn White in his heart, and let the dummy "World" laugh in a low voice:
"certainly.
“It remains to be investigated.”
His concise answer translated into detailed words means that there must be deep-seated problems in those two cases, but this is a secret and I am not going to tell you. Similarly, don't ask about the role of the public identity of "Dwayne Dantes"!
Although Emlyn the Moon sometimes had a low EQ, he could still hear the hidden meaning of "World". He laughed dryly, leaned back, and pretended to be satisfied with the other party's answer.
Seeing this, Audrey took a second to control her upward lip corners, and then said to Gehrman Sparrow:
"Okay, I see, thank you for letting me know."
At this moment, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that joining the "Loen Charity Student Aid Fund" was a good thing. If she really encountered any risks in the future, or something she couldn't handle, she could just notify Mr. "World" in advance, and then go to the foundation normally and get busy next to Dwayne Dantès.
Well, if the Psychological Alchemy Society has doubts about me, or wants to test me with a mission, I will arrange a meeting with them at the Foundation... The image of Dwayne Dantès is completely different from the image shown by Mr. "The World" above the gray fog. Well, Mr. "The World" is an experienced disguiser... Also, Dwayne Dantès is a public identity, not always equal to Gehrman Sparrow. No wonder there are rumors that he has a wide range of preferences for women... A crazy killer and adventurer like Gehrman Sparrow must be paired with a pure and innocent girl... As an "audience", Audrey couldn't help but have some associations.
After hearing her answer, Klein couldn't help but complain:
What does it mean to thank me for telling you?
Shouldn't the investigation fee of 500 pounds be paid?
So you think of this as sharing among internal members?
He asked the World Gehrman Sparrow to nod his head, and without saying anything more about Dion Dantes, he turned to look at the little Sun and said:
"Do you have any tricksters or evil spirits there?"
The World paused, then added:
"Perhaps you call it by another name. Anyway, it is good at camouflage, has strange abilities, is close to the level of a demigod, and has a main eye with a lot of special features..."
He deliberately mentioned the almost demigod level, not to show off, but to remind the little "Sun" that this was a very dangerous monster.
However, neither Cattleya the Hermit nor Alger the Hanged Man paid much attention to this, because the World represented Mr. Fool’s followers, and it was normal for them to purchase demigod-level materials for their companions. Moreover, even if he prepared for himself, it would not be too surprising. Gehrman Sparrow was already Sequence 5, and collecting materials in advance was a routine operation.
In their minds, it seemed like it would be a good thing for Mr. World to escape from Sequence 5 as soon as possible.
"Sun" Derrick thought for a moment and said:
"It's not found among the common monsters, but maybe someone has encountered one before. I'll look it up in the information or ask for you."
The dummy "world" made a sound and returned to silence.
When the "magician" Fors tried to buy the cursed objects and residual spirituality of the ancient vengeful spirit again but failed, the transaction ended.
Before Mr. Hanged Man asked the Sun, Fors stole a glance at Gehrman Sparrow, the World, and said:
"I recently had a strange dream in which almost real treasures appeared, including..."
She described the dream in detail, and concluded:
"That is a complex symbol that combines 'fate' and 'anonymity'..."
Just as Fors was about to turn to the head of the long bronze table and ask Mr. Fool to manifest, suddenly the World Gehrman Sparrow said:
"Is this the symbol you are talking about?"
The dummy "World" first made a request and then showed a badge.
This badge is only the size of an eyeball, and its surface is a combination of the two symbolic symbols of "fate" and "anonymity".
It came from Lanevus and was the credential for joining the "Hermit of Fate" party, but Klein had never tried it once.
"Ah? Magician?" Fors took a look and answered with a slight stutter, "Yes, yes, that's it."
After she finished answering, she found that Mr. "World" not only restored the symbols, but also gave her the items!
Suddenly, she had an epiphany:
Dwayne Dantes' choice of living on Böklund Street was a targeted move!
Just as she had this thought, she heard the hoarse voice of Gehrman Sparrow, the World:
"That treasure is a trap."
He really knew... Fortunately, I knew to ask someone with more experience... "Magician" Fors breathed a sigh of relief and smiled:
"Thanks for the reminder."
Audrey, Justice, asked with a hint of curiosity:
"Mr. World, what does this symbol represent? Why do you say it's a trap?"
Klein manipulated the "world" and answered simply:
"It represents a group of thieves who call themselves the Hermits of Destiny."
Destined Hermit... Thief... "The Hanged Man" Alger and "The Hermit" Cattleya memorized these two terms thoughtfully and made certain guesses based on their own knowledge.
The former suspected that it was an organization established by a group of thieves, while the latter believed that an ancient family from the Fourth Epoch was involved. After careful recollection, Emlyn White, the "Moon", confirmed that he had never heard of such an organization and planned to go back and consult the high-level vampires.
At this moment, Klein was thinking about another question:
The "thief" demigod who was once sealed deep in the sewer has not left Böklund Street yet. He is very likely hiding in Hazel's house. Moreover, this demigod is not at all content and even uses dreams to influence Miss "Magician"!
No, we can't let him go on like this...
The hidden danger must be eliminated as soon as possible!
Hmm... I'll go find the poet and remind him that the grandfather inside him would be interested in demigods of the same order...
Thinking of this, Mr. Fool looked at the members leisurely with a smile on his face.
Audrey Justice vaguely sensed Mr. Fool’s change in mood and muttered in her heart:
Are the thieves who call themselves the Destiny Hermits related to an old friend of Mr. Fool?
The topic of the dream treasure soon came to an end. The Hermit Cattleya remembered something and said to the World Gehrman Sparrow:
"I'll give you the information you want this week."
At this moment, she was a little curious about why the other party wanted to obtain information about West Balam. However, she was neither the "Sun" nor the "Moon". She would ask immediately if she did not understand something, and was more accustomed to collecting some clues on her own first.
"Okay." The dummy "World" nodded, and Klein sighed in his heart that with such a secret organization, many things are indeed much simpler.
Seeing that he had no extra words, Alger the Hanged Man turned his head and said to Derrick the Sun:
"Have you figured out the matter of the former chief's mausoleum?"
"Sun" Derrick said with some shame:
"I just made two friends."
As an extraordinary person who followed the "Sun" path, he fought purely with others in the training ground, but he could not win once out of ten times. He managed to establish connections with his old acquaintances by getting beaten up, but there were only two people who could be called friends.
Without waiting for the Hanged Man to respond, he quickly added:
"However, I heard that the 'Six-member Council' wants to open the mausoleum. No matter what, at least they have to recover the characteristics."
In Silver City, no one thinks that this behavior is wrong, because to them, waste is a crime.
The Hanged Man Alger nodded slightly and changed his words of instruction:
“Well done.
"You don't have to be a friend to help. When you have established connections with enough people, you will naturally gain certain intelligence."
PS: I will update first and revise later. I had a chapter saved, but I slept until the afternoon today and didn't hear the alarm. It may be because I wrote at night when I was traveling before, and I didn't adjust to the jet lag completely, so I was too sleep-deprived. Well, what I said still counts. There will be an extra chapter in the early morning, and I will make up for the saved chapter tomorrow.
