"The future of Raft Pound."

Klein held the baronet's hair, closed his eyes, and fell into a deep sleep with the help of meditation.

In the gray sky and earth, he saw a narrow, irregular hole. Rafter Pound, with swollen eye bags and graying temples, supported himself on his elbows, crawled forward like a reptile, and crawled out.

Then, the scene flashed, and he picked up a black iron badge from somewhere and put it on his chest.

The badge was engraved with a scepter and a hand holding the scepter!

“Tudor!” Klein suddenly woke up from his dream and sat up straight.

According to the bodyguard, the black iron badge is engraved with the royal emblem of the Fourth Epoch Tudor Empire!

It was exactly the same as what he had seen in that ancient building!

“Luft Pound is definitely not as simple as he appeared before…” Klein rubbed his forehead and whispered to himself.

As a "fortune teller", he had his own interpretation of the revelation he had just seen in the dream. On the one hand, he knew that was what Raft Pound would do in the future. On the other hand, he believed that this showed that Raft Pound himself had a deep connection with the Tudor family!

After the three tests of direct questioning, "dream" investigation, and "spiritual" communication, Luft Pound did not reveal any problems, nor did I notice any abnormalities. If I had not kept a trick up my sleeve, I would have been deceived by him. Hmm... Maybe, maybe he really knows nothing now, and just acted out his true colors. Only in the future, he will accidentally encounter an opportunity to connect with the Tudor family...

But the more likely possibility is that he has learned a lot from the old viscount, and before he was sure, he deliberately fell into depravity and pretended to be crazy. The fact that he was able to hide from my "dream entry" and "spiritual communication" was due to some extraordinary ability. Uh... He should not have been acting at the time, but was really in a daze, otherwise he would have revealed his true colors in front of someone like me who is very experienced...

What kind of extraordinary ability would it be?

What's his serial number?

Or the kind that is born with certain extraordinary abilities?

Klein continued thinking like this and felt that he had reached a dead end. He quickly pulled himself out and changed his perspective, muttering to himself silently:

"Raft Pound has a deep connection with the Tudor family..."

"Can we make a bold assumption that he is actually a descendant of the Tudor family?"

"If his blood relationship with the old viscount is true, then things will be interesting."

"The entire Pound family is a branch of the Tudor family that changed its name to escape being hunted down?"

"They have established meritorious services, obtained titles, and gradually returned to the center of power. At the same time, they are secretly searching for the secret remains that the Tudor Empire left behind in Backlund."

"After who knows how many years, they finally made something. They bought the house that currently belongs to Miller Carter and built an exaggerated basement to explore the surrounding area."

"Thirty or forty years ago, they found the ruins and built a secret door leading there."

"However, an accident occurred during the exploration of the ruins. The evil spirit did not recognize the so-called descendants of the Tudor family at all. The two heirs of the old viscount died in the innermost room one after another. Even the extraordinary characteristics and magical items could not be rescued."

"Although the old viscount spent a huge amount of money to buy similar Beyonder characteristics, making the deaths of the two heirs appear relatively normal, the consecutive sudden deaths were still somewhat suspicious in the eyes of the royal family and the church. Therefore, after the old viscount died, Luft Pound deliberately exaggerated and distorted the secret investigation that year, causing himself to have psychological problems and began to indulge in alcohol, sex, and gambling to avoid attention."

"This can explain something that puzzled me before. How could a dignified Viscount family be controlled by a mysterious person who came from nowhere? Did the royal family and the church think they were blind? Even if they wanted to control us, they would use a gentler and less noticeable method, such as the Sequence 6 'Faceless Man' of my path."

"Even a child can detect abnormalities, let alone the powerful people of the royal family and the three major churches?"

"The only explanation for their 'not knowing' is that they were the ones who sent them."

"Well... I guessed at the time that the Tudor family and the Trunsoest family also mastered the 'Black Emperor' path, so based on the needs of role-playing, the dynasty they established would retain the style and characteristics of the Solomon Empire. The bodyguard lady seemed to have indirectly confirmed this."

"Sequence 9 of the Black Emperor pathway is Lawyer, an extraordinary profession that is very good at taking advantage of the order. Uh... Raft Pound's ability to deceive the Dreaming and Psychic comes from this, or maybe even more? He fully cooperated with me, but in his dreams and confused state, he still subconsciously took advantage of the loopholes in the order and made the result develop in the direction he wanted."

"Thinking carefully, it seems that during the process of 'communication', Luft Pound really did not lie, but the truth was only part of the truth... Maintaining the family and remembering the glory can refer to the Pound family or the Tudor family..."

Klein's thoughts gradually became clearer, and he had an overall understanding of the matter:

Judging from Raft Pound's current attitude, the evil spirit should not be able to escape without external help, otherwise the baronet should have found a way to save himself long ago. Regardless of whether the evil spirit will come to him or not, as long as the other party escapes the seal and creates a disaster, the matter of the underground ruins cannot be hidden from the royal family and the church. At that time, Raft will inevitably be implicated... The collapse of the room opposite did not affect the power to bind the evil spirit, which means that as long as the innermost room is not directly destroyed, the evil spirit cannot escape...

Hmm... the plan is clear. I'll buy some explosives from Caspers and collapse the entrance so that no one can get in. I'll bury the evil spirit underground forever. Haha, when I have enough strength, I can consider solving it and help the citizens of Backlund completely get rid of this hidden danger, and by the way, I'll get some valuable items...

But what is the safest way to blast? I don't know anything about it... Maybe Kaspars knows a blasting expert? After all, he is a black market weapons dealer.

Klein quickly finalized the plan and decided to go find Caspers tomorrow evening and try to completely resolve the issue of the underground ruins within this week.

As for the true relationship between the Pound family and the Tudor family, and as for the abnormality of Raft Pound, he didn't want to delve into it at all.

“It’s none of my business!” Klein muttered, and quickly fell into the gray fog and returned to the real world.

…………

On Friday morning, Klein went out early as usual, pretending to be very busy.

The actual situation was that he once again came to the Krag Club, practiced shooting, read newspapers, and lived a very comfortable life.

At tea time, he was about to leave after spending almost a day here, but he unexpectedly saw his former employer Mary Gale and his equestrian teacher Talim Dumont entering the club at the same time.

With them were many gentlemen in frock coats and ladies in beautiful dresses and exquisite makeup, including Mike Joseph, a reporter from the Daily Observer.

"Oh, Detective Moriarty, what a coincidence." Mike, who had charming eyes but rather rough skin, greeted him.

Klein smiled and responded:

"Mr. Reporter, have you finished your investigative journalism?"

"It's done, thanks to your help! Let me introduce to you, this is the famous detective, Mr. Sherlock Moriarty, Talim's good friend." Mike waved his arm.

After the two sides greeted each other, Mike continued:

"I think I've figured out who Kapin is. I'll tell you in detail when I have time. Anyway, I have every reason to believe that Sibel's death was caused by a copycat crime, not the serial killer. Haha, tomorrow, you'll be able to read my investigative news in the newspaper."

“Just as I guessed.” Klein responded with a smile.

At this moment, Mike seemed to remember something and turned his head to Mary Gale and said:

"Let me arrange an interview with you about Backlund's air pollution situation and solutions. However, you must communicate with our newspaper's editor-in-chief in advance to finalize the layout and time."

Mary's eyes suddenly lit up and said:

"OK."

"Thank you so much! Mike, why didn't I think of this good idea!"

Is this publicity and promotion for joining the "Kingdom Air Pollution Investigation Committee"? Mike, this reporter, is very experienced... Although the Daily Observer is not one of the best newspapers, its circulation is also quite large... Mary suddenly came here today, is it because the members of the House of Commons who participated in this club are coming over? The form of a private club is really suitable for politics and business... Klein said goodbye with a sudden realization.

Before becoming the "Faceless Man", he didn't want to get involved in such high-level affairs.

…………

In the evening, in an apartment in the East District.

After a busy day, Williams entered the small rented room, intending to change his coat, get some cash, go to the pub for a good drink, and have dinner there.

In the gloomy and dim environment, he suddenly stopped putting on his coat.

He saw a dark figure standing next to the window, his face completely obscured by the shadow of the hood.

"Who asked you to look for Lanevus?" the shadow asked slowly and in a low voice.

Williams quickly put on his coat, swallowed his saliva and said:

"A friend of mine, a bounty hunter."

Bounty hunters are adventurers who rely on various bounties as their main source of income. There are many of them in the East District and in Backlund.

"Why did he suddenly start looking for Lanevus again? This was a bounty from a long time ago." The black shadow was very tall and walked in front of Williams step by step.

"I don't know. Maybe she just wants to try a different reward." Williams stepped back slightly.

The dark shadow asked in a hoarse voice:

"who is she?"

Williams immediately struggled, and after a few seconds he trembled and replied:

"Hugh, Hugh Dilcher, I don't know where she lives."

"Very good, very honest." The dark shadow patted Williams' body, asked no more questions, and walked towards the door.

Williams breathed a sigh of relief, believing that his extensive underworld experience had helped him.

Don't be stubborn when you shouldn't!

Just then, he saw the dark shadow snap his fingers.

Bang!

Williams' thoughts froze, and his body instantly broke into pieces, scattering in all directions, leaving blood and flesh all over the ground and walls.

Immediately afterwards, the dark shadow cut off the gas pipeline here.

Amid the sound of buzzing, he picked up the candle on Williams' table and stroked the wick.

The shadow then left, and a few minutes later, the candle suddenly lit up by itself!

Boom!

The sound of the explosion drowned out everything.
