In the frozen silence, Amyrius quickly controlled his expression and said in a solemn and low voice:
"Tell me what happened."
Klein did not hide too much. He started with Auston Levitt's questioning, then mentioned that he was warned by a mysterious person in his dream not to go against the trend of the times and the choice of history. He then briefly talked about the sudden telegram, and finally gave a general description of Cynthia's change, the situation at the scene, the secretary's arrogance, his own response, and the subsequent investigation.
The only thing he concealed was that February 4 was his first day on Oravi Island, and the corresponding speculation.
Of course, he described the specific course of the battle very vaguely. I believe Admiral Amyrius can understand. After all, what a Beyonder is good at and what unique abilities he has are one of his greatest secrets. If it is leaked out and known to others, they can make targeted arrangements and he may even die at the hands of an enemy with a lower Sequence than himself.
Below the High Sequence, many Beyonders can be very powerful, but also very fragile!
Amyrius listened quietly, his expression unchanged in the dim room, but the fact that he did not interrupt or ask questions spoke volumes.
After a few seconds of silence, he said solemnly:
"The mysterious man who invaded your dreams emphasized the fate and trend of the times?"
“Yes.” Klein had returned to his original face as Gehrman Sparrow, and did not bother to explain why the mysterious man had not mentioned Austin Levitt’s specific plan.
Amyrius was silent for a moment and said:
"You kept my appearance in your dream?"
"Yes, this is my secret." Klein replied concisely.
Amyrius nodded inconspicuously, paced silently in a small area for a few steps, and looked at Gehrman Sparrow again and said:
"Your choice, no problem."
Hearing these words, Klein seemed to have received the final and most effective feedback, and a lot of the potion in his body was digested.
A low voice echoed in the room. Amyrius turned his body, looked out the window, and said without emotion:
"I originally had no intention of signing a contract with the double. Instead, I was going to inform Cynthia that I had signs of losing control and that I couldn't get close to her for five days. But later, for some reasons, I changed my mind."
If there were no temporary contract to restrict me, even if I could hold on to my usual sexual desire, I would not have been able to resist the amplified desire last night...
Of course, after Cynthia knew the five-day limit in advance, she would not rush to take the powder ground from the "Fertility Necklace", and thus would not sense the "Mother Tree of Desire" and mutate... But in this way, the initiative is in the hands of the Celestial Cult, and they can find other excuses to make Cynthia take it...
This matter is really aimed at me... What exactly does the "Mother Tree of Desire" want to do? And what is the reason that made Admiral Amyrius make such a crucial change... Klein vaguely grasped the key point and said while looking at Amyrius's profile:
"What's the reason?"
Amyrius spoke without any expression:
"You don't need to know."
…This was the first time Klein hated such a response so much.
After thinking for a while, he took out the broken pendant and threw it to Amyrius:
"This is the 'Necklace of Reproduction' that originated from the 'Mother Tree of Desire'."
Amyrius raised his hand to take it, looked down and said:
“You can leave now.
"Go to Bilt to collect your reward."
Aren't you worried that I know something I shouldn't know? That's right, Austin and his group's plot has been exposed and known to their political enemies, and Amyrius is clearly not involved, so it doesn't matter whether I know or not... Klein thought there would be a long-term confidentiality agreement, but who knew he could just leave like that.
Seeing that Amyrius did not take the initiative to mention another matter, he pointed at him and said:
"clothing."
Admiral Amyrius then raised his head and silently took off his formal suit consisting of shirt and vest.
Klein originally wanted to use the difficulty of this mission as an excuse to ask for extra compensation, but after vaguely confirming that Cynthia's matter was caused by him, he gave up this plan out of guilt. He quickly took off his comfortable nightgown, changed into a swallowtail suit, followed Amyrius's instructions, jumped out of the window, and quietly left the garden villa while the guards were "blinded" by something.
Amyrius put on his nightgown, held the "Fertility Necklace" in his hand, walked to the window, looked at the crimson moon and a few stars in the dark night, and stood there in silence.
He stood there expressionlessly, without changing his posture for a long time.
Bang!
His clenched left hand loosened slightly, and the broken pendant, which looked like a miniature rhino horn, fell to the ground in fragments, one by one.
…………
At noon the next day, after a peaceful sleep, Klein left the hotel and took a carriage to the "Sweet Lemon" bar, where he met Bilt Brando in the room on the second floor.
"Is it over?" Bilt asked with some relief and some surprise.
Klein nodded:
"Admiral Amyrius has returned.
"What about the rest of the reward?"
Bilt showed a smile that was difficult to conceal. After sending all the bodyguards out of the door, he went to the safe himself and took out the remaining 500 pounds and a blue cufflink.
"This is a magical item made from the fish-man's swim bladder you provided." Bilt introduced, "It can provide phantom scales hidden under the skin, making you as difficult to catch as a fish, and helping you withstand certain injuries. With it, you can dive at least 15 meters without protection and move freely underwater for 10 minutes. Its negative effects are not great, it just makes you more easily tired than normal in hot or dry places."
In other words, try not to mix up this cufflink and the "Sun Brooch"... Klein reached out and took the money and the item.
"Aren't you worried about any problems?" Bilt joked.
"Your property is here." Klein replied calmly.
What he meant was simple: if something went wrong, he should not be afraid of not being able to find the person responsible.
Bilt's smile froze for a second, then he said:
"It doesn't have a name yet, you can give it one."
"Murloc sleeve spikes." Klein didn't waste any brain cells.
"...What a good name, very descriptive." Bilt forced a smile.
He paused and said:
"That 'craftsman' said that he can solidify the ritual of summoning spiritual creatures onto spiritual materials. It can last up to a year and a half, but you need to provide detailed information.
"Haha, according to the agreement, I will pay the money, you don't have to worry."
“Okay, make it into a harmonica.” Klein took out a pen and paper from his pocket and quickly wrote down the ritual to summon his messenger.
"Messenger? This is quite rare. It is difficult for Beyonders outside the Path of Death to find a suitable messenger." Bilt took the paper and glanced at it casually. "Hey, if you accidentally summon a messenger during the production, you need to give her a gold coin... What will happen if you don't give it? Haha, spiritual creatures always have some strange things. I have seen some that particularly love music, and I have also seen some that wander around feces."
What will happen if I don't give it to you? Maybe Ms. Renette Tinicole will bring you and the Artisan's heads to me. She has a castle in the spirit world, and she might be stronger than me. Well, if I don't use the "Poseidon Scepter"... Klein muttered to himself and said in a deep voice:
"The third item production promise will be discussed later."
"Okay." Bilt had no objection. He then asked curiously, "Mr. Hermann, how did you conceal Secretary Lueran, Governor Austin, and Miss Cynthia, who were mentioned by Admiral Amyrius?"
...Klein tried his best to keep his face clear:
"According to the information, study it carefully."
He did not elaborate, but stood up, holding his hat and bowed:
"I should leave now."
"It's a pleasure working with you." Bilt responded with a smile.
After watching Gehrman Sparrow's back disappear through the door, he shook his head and laughed softly, muttering to himself:
"This powerful and crazy adventurer is actually a natural dramatic actor?"
After lunch, his men brought today's newspaper.
Bilt was flipping through the pages casually while smoking a cigar, when his expression suddenly froze.
"Last night, the new governor, Ben Conrad, held a banquet at his mansion... New governor? Austin Levitt was removed from his post as governor?" Bilt picked up the other newspapers in astonishment and saw the same news.
With his connections in Oravi, he should have heard about such a major event as the change of governor a long time ago, but this time, things happened extremely suddenly, and most people only got their initial understanding of the situation until the new governor officially appeared.
After a while, a collaborator who secretly served Admiral Amyrius entered the room.
"The Admiral ordered you to check the people around you, find out all the believers of the Celestial Sect, and sink them into the sea." The collaborator conveyed Amyrius's instructions.
"Okay." Bilt asked doubtfully, "What happened? Since yesterday, the Celestial Cult has suffered a heavy blow."
"The Admiral was assassinated by the Celestial Cult, Miss Cynthia was killed, Secretary Lu Er'an was injured, and the General's guards lost a lot of people." The collaborator gave a brief description.
"Ah?" Bilt was stunned for a moment.
Isn't this the person that Admiral Amyrius mentioned as a target of attention?
I also emphasized this to Gehrman Sparrow...
Now, Miss Cynthia was murdered, Secretary Lueran was injured, and Austin Levitt was removed from his post as governor... Bilt moved the corners of his mouth with a dull expression.
…………
The capital of Eastchester County, Ston City.
Audrey listened quietly to the words of a noble lady, occasionally echoing her and offering comfort.
"Audrey, you are such an angel. After chatting with you, I feel much more comfortable." At the end, the noble lady praised sincerely.
At this time, Audrey saw a female pastor from the Church of the Night coming in, so she said something modest and greeted her with a faint smile.
On the surface, this pastor appears to be an ordinary person, doing the most basic missionary work, but in reality he is a secret member of the "Psychological Alchemy Society".
"Audrey, I have the potion formula, but you must make a sufficient contribution to obtain it." The female priest whispered when no one was paying attention.
Audrey's eyes turned slightly and said:
"no problem.
"But, Ms. Smin, can you tell me what it is called?"
The female pastor called Simin glanced around and said in a low voice:
"Hypnotist."
