Chapter 106 The Thief of Destiny
All the members of the Tarot Club pricked up their ears and listened quietly to the information that the Hermit would tell them next.
For Klein the Fool, the information about Amon was very advanced and he could get it without spending a penny. Of course, he was very happy to have such a deal between the members.
For Derrick the Sun, this was very important. After all, Amon's real body seemed to be in the "Forsaken Land of Gods", and Silver City could face threats from Amon at any time.
So listen carefully, maybe you can get some useful clues.
As for the other members, including Audrey the Justice, who paid for this transaction, they were very curious about Amon and hoped to obtain the corresponding information.
Seeing that everyone's attention was focused on him, the "Hermit" Odysseus organized his words and said, "When I was collecting intelligence for 'Sun', I learned that when the Beyonders of the 'Thief' Path reach the Sequence 2 level, which is what we call the Angel level, the Beyonders of this path can 'steal' fate!"
Without waiting for everyone to react, Odysseus continued to explain, "For example, if this angel uses the ability to 'steal' fate on a certain target, the target will lose his own fate and become a person who is unknown to everyone and rejected by the whole world.
"And this angel can have that person's fate, and that person's friends, family, and children will regard this angel as their friend, husband, and father.
"The person whose fate is 'stolen' can only watch it all happen, but he can't do anything because everyone will regard him as a stranger.
"As time goes by, no one can even hear his voice, and he will eventually disappear alone."
Finally, Odysseus commented, "This is a very terrifying and weird ability. "
At the head of the long bronze table, Klein behind the gray fog thought: This ability is a bit too weird, but it sounds very powerful.
When "The Hanged Man" Alger heard "The Hermit" talking about "lonely disappearance", he suddenly let out a long breath: In fact, some people's fate does not need to be stolen, and they will disappear alone.
Then he thought: The most powerful thing about this ability is that in a certain team, others don't know that someone's fate has been stolen, and they will not take any precautions against that person. When that person suddenly attacks... the consequences can be imagined.
Audrey felt that the target described by the "Hermit" was very pitiful, and at the same time, she felt that the extraordinary power had reached the level of angels, which was too powerful to even "steal" fate.
Derrick was somewhat desperate. They had already communicated at the last party. Amon was at least at the level of an angel, so he must have the ability to "steal" fate!
How to defend against such an ability? Can it be defended?
Only "Magician" Fors felt out of the way, as if he was listening to a ghost story.
Odysseus continued: "The other information is about Amon's past experience.
"We have mentioned before that the Amon family was once a great noble family of the Tudor Empire in the Fourth Epoch."
He paused and said, "I cannot guarantee that the following information is 100% accurate, but based on some subsequent changes in the Extraordinary World, this information should be accurate.
"The five great nobles of the Tudor Empire are Abraham, Adam, Amon, Jacob, and Tamara.
"The ancestor of the Jacob family was also an angel of the "Thief" path. At a certain period in the Fourth Epoch, Amon stole the fate of the ancestor of the Jacob family and killed him, so for a long time, Jacob was Amon!
"Some even speculate that Jacob was killed by Amon at the beginning of the establishment of the Tudor Empire, otherwise Jacob would definitely hide far away like Zoroaster, and would never be in the same camp with Amon.
"Before the fall of the Tudor Empire, no one discovered this. Of course, it is possible that some high-sequence beings discovered it, but did not announce it for various reasons.
"It was not until the fall of the Tudor Empire that the Jacob family was hunted down by the Orthodox Church. The Orthodox Church discovered that Jacob had actually been replaced by Amon a long time ago. "
Odysseus was not too sure about this information. So many big figures in the Fourth Epoch did not discover this in time. How did he, a herbal medicine store owner in the Fifth Epoch, know Amon's secret?
The hall fell silent again, because it sounded too horrible!
The Tudor Empire had five great nobles on the surface, but in fact there were only four great nobles!
If the Tudor Empire had not been destroyed, Amon would probably continue to replace Jacob.
This news gave all members of the Tarot Club a deep understanding of the ability of the "thief" to "steal" fate through the angels.
Alger suddenly thought of an inappropriate metaphor: one person, receiving the salary of two people.
Klein behind the gray fog noticed an important problem. The "Hermit" used Zoroaster to compare Jacob. After reading the content of the "blasphemy card", he vaguely understood why Amon wanted to replace and kill Jacob.
Odysseus continued: "Although no one discovered it at the time, people later realized that most of the members of Jacob's family died almost overnight. "Combined with some discoveries of the Orthodox Church, people realized that the members of the Jacob family should have been 'parasitized' by Amon without any warning, and all became Amon's clones."
Just now, the "magician" Fors was about to ask, didn't the members of the Jacob family find that Amon replaced the ancestor of the family?
Hearing what the "hermit" said, Fors considered whether to stay away from the people of the extraordinary family? Too dangerous! Being "parasitized" by your own ancestors without any warning.
Audrey also diverged her own thinking: This is like holding a Tarot Club, and the members are suddenly "parasitized" by Mr. Fool... No, Mr. Fool is not Amon, He would not do this.
Derrick felt a huge pressure, and he even suddenly doubted that the people of Silver City were parasitized by "Amon" and became His clones, and only he was still normal.
But soon, he gave up this idea: If that was really the case, Mr. Fool would definitely remind me.
Alger, the most knowledgeable member, had already noticed the crux of the matter. He asked the Hermit, "Who is the Zoroaster you mentioned just now? Why is he hiding from Amon?"
Odysseus did not answer directly, but looked at Audrey, "Do you have similar questions? If you answer this question again, our deal will end here."
Reminded by the Hanged Man, Audrey also realized that there seemed to be another hidden reason for Amon's killing of Jacob. The Hanged Man's question was very well-written, and it was more accurate than her own question.
So she said, "Yes, Mr. Hermit, please answer this question again."
Odysseus still did not answer immediately, but said to the head of the bronze table, "Mr. Fool, please forgive my subsequent speculation and blasphemy."
Klein the Fool smiled faintly, saying that it was nothing.
In his heart, he had already said: Sure enough, Amon killed Jacob in order to seize his extraordinary characteristics!
Audrey and other members were a little puzzled as to why the Hermit still wanted to ask Mr. Fool for forgiveness, but then they became happy or excited because it meant that the Hermit's next answer might involve the level of gods.
Odysseus continued, "I accidentally got such a high-level intelligence. There are only three Sequence 1 characteristics in each path!
"If you want to become a god, you must collect three Sequence 1 characteristics."
Alger's hands were shaking a little: Really, it's really information about the level of gods!
He was very keen on collecting this kind of high-level intelligence in the Extraordinary World, but it seemed that there was no other place to hear this kind of high-level intelligence except in the Tarot Club.
The other members seemed to have thought of something, but they couldn't explain what they thought of.
Odysseus continued, "The ancestor of the Jacob family was a Sequence 1 Extraordinary, and the ancestor of Zoroaster, as well as the patriarch of this family during the Solomon Empire and the Second Solomon Empire, was also a Sequence 1 Extraordinary. "
Audrey suddenly realized what she had just thought of: "Amon is also a Sequence 1. He killed Jacob and has two Sequence 1 characteristics!"
Almost everyone present knew that Extraordinary people of the same sequence were in competition.
But Sequence 1 was different from other sequences. If a Sequence 4 wanted to be promoted to Sequence 3, then they had to obtain the Extraordinary characteristics of the Sequence 3 level. Their enemy was Sequence 3, so the other sequences were basically competing with each other.
In addition, only one characteristic was needed to be promoted, which meant that Sequence 4 was not necessarily a mortal enemy of all Sequence 3s.
When it came to Sequence 1, it was a competition between people at the same level, and Sequence 1s were definitely mortal enemies!
Fors suddenly slapped his thigh, "Amon wants to become a god! "
As soon as she finished speaking, she immediately reached out and covered her mouth: This idea is too blasphemous to the gods. How could the gods... Oh my God, what did I think of? When the Beyonders reach a high enough level, they become gods?
Although no one said anything, Fors herself fell into a state of panic. That was the value formed since childhood, or to be more specific, her inner understanding of the gods suddenly collapsed.
Among all the members, the calmest ones might be "World" and "Sun". "World" was calm because he was a fake person, but "Sun", who had received a general education in Silver City, felt that this was not too surprising. At
this time, Alger had also come back to his senses: "In the Fourth Epoch, Amon had already obtained two Sequence 1 Beyonder characteristics. So in the modern era of the Fifth Epoch, has He obtained all Sequence 1 characteristics? Has He become a god?"
"Little Sun" was a little surprised: Could the Amon clone we encountered before be the clone of a god?
Thanks again to [Ten Years of Life and Death!] for the reward.,Chapter 107 Abraham Family
Hearing the question from the Hanged Man, the Hermit Odysseus spread his hands and said, "I wonder if the patriarch of the Zoroaster family is still alive?"
Although he knew that it was the grandfather in the poet's body, this was another question that could not be answered accurately.
Klein behind the gray fog thought: Thinking about the relevant content of the "Black Emperor" card, even if all the Sequence 1 Beyonder characteristics are collected, a complex ceremony still needs to be prepared. Perhaps he has not yet become a god.
But it is really hard to guess the inner thoughts and behaviors of a person at this level.
Then he thought of another question, so he manipulated the "world" to ask, "If Amon is Sequence 1 and Jacob is also Sequence 1, then how did Amon replace Jacob without attracting the attention of others?"
If two people are equally powerful, it is impossible for one of them to kill the other quietly.
Klein actually had some ideas in his heart, but he was not sure.
Odysseus smiled and said, "I can help you get more information about this, but I need to pay a certain amount of money or price, so this problem needs a deal."
"The World" said in a gloomy voice, "I'll think about it."
With the end of this transaction, the Tarot Club fell into silence. Everyone felt that they needed time to digest the high-level information they had just obtained.
After more than ten seconds, "The World" said in a hoarse voice, "Do you have any news about the 'mutated pituitary gland of the Thousand-Faced Hunter', or the 'characteristics of the human-skinned shadow', or the 'hair of the deep-sea Janna'?"
"The Sun" Derrick immediately said, "Mr. 'World', I have already found out the whereabouts of the 'human-skinned shadow', but I may not be able to hire someone to help you hunt in the near future."
Derrick had promised "The World" before that the reward for borrowing the "All Black Eye" was to help him hunt the "human-skinned shadow".
"It doesn't matter, I can wait a little longer." "The World" said in a deep voice.
The Hanged Man Alger said, "I heard someone is selling 'Deep Sea Janna's Hair', but the seller's island is quite remote, so I can't confirm it for you until next week."
The World said in a gloomy voice, "It's better to have news than no news."
After waiting for more than ten seconds, no one spoke again, indicating that the deal could only end here.
Klein, who was at the head of the bronze table, sighed quietly in his heart: Now there is only the Thousand Faces Hunter left, and there is no clue at all.
At this time, the Magician Fors initiated a new deal: "I want to know the formula of the potion for the Apprentice Path, and which organizations control it?
"Well, the reward I can pay is "Spirit World Observations", which is a note of travel in the spirit world left by a powerful Beyonder a long time ago."
"Spirit World Observations"?
Klein was very interested in this, and he manipulated the World to immediately say, "I can answer your question and give you some corresponding information for free. "
He knew very well that the Hermit and the Hanged Man could also answer this question, which made him sigh: It's not good to have competition, and they all have to give away gifts.
Fors smiled happily: "Okay."
Then the World asked in a hoarse voice: "Do you want only you to hear it, or for everyone to hear it?"
Fors thought for a few seconds before saying: "Just say it."
She was not inspired by "justice" and thought that the answer to this question might also help others, but she felt that it didn't matter if other members knew the answer to this question. If the World missed something, other members could make up for it.
If a transaction was needed, she could continue to use "Spiritual World Insights" as a reward.
The World replied: "In the Fourth Epoch, the 'Apprentice' path was controlled by the Abraham family, and later flowed into the Tamara family, who had a long-term marriage with them.
"In the Fifth Epoch, which is the current epoch, the Gnosis Society also has potion formulas for the Apprentice and the Master of Magic, which are believed to be related to the Abraham family and the Tamara family.
"Of course, some people suspect that the Gnosis Society is actually the Witch Cult in disguise."
Then Klein manipulated the "world" to begin telling the "bonus" information: "It is said that the Abraham family has long suffered from a blood curse and has to live in a dispersed manner to avoid danger."
Blood curse? Fors thought of his own experience: Mrs. Anlisa once said before her death that as long as they were not from their family, they would not be cursed. But I used the bracelet I got from Mrs. Anlisa's relics, and then I began to suffer from the blood moon curse!
Alger and Audrey heard about the Abraham family's blood curse for the first time, and each had their own associations.
After a few seconds, Fors recovered from his regret: "Thank you, Mr. World, you have solved the doubts in my heart.
"I will copy the first chapter of 'Accidents in the Spirit World' and offer it to Mr. Fool after the party. Mr. Fool, is that okay?"
"The Fool" Klein nodded slowly, "Okay."
Alger sighed: The members of the Tarot Club are indeed not simple. He didn't expect that the always low-key "magician" seemed to have a connection with such an ancient and extraordinary family as the Abraham family. At this time, Odysseus said, "I can make some supplements to Mr. World's answer. The reward is to ask you a question."
Fors was first happy that the public Q&A could indeed gain some supplements, but then she was a little surprised: "Ask me a question? What question can I answer?"
Odysseus smiled and said, "You can definitely answer this question, or you have relevant channels."
Fors nodded: "Okay, I'll try my best to answer."
She was indeed a little unconfident, because although the "Hermit" had just joined the Tarot Club, he seemed very knowledgeable. She really couldn't think of what questions she could answer for the "Hermit"?
Odysseus said, "There have always been two rumors about the potion formula of the "Apprentice" path in the "Genius Society.
" "The first rumor is that in the Fourth Epoch, the Abraham family declined in a very short period of time. The "Witch Cult" somehow got the opportunity and took the opportunity to plunder a batch of extraordinary characteristics and seals from this family, including some potion formulas, and used these formulas to establish the "Genius Society."
"The second rumor is that in the Fourth Epoch, some members of the Abraham family wanted to get help from the Witch Cult in order to get rid of the curse, so they established the Spiritual Knowledge Society, which is a subsidiary organization of the Witch Cult.
" "Of course, it is also possible that the truth is the combination of these two rumors. Some members of the Abraham family wanted to get help from the Witch Cult in order to get rid of the curse.
"But the Witch Cult used them to find the hiding place of the Abraham family members and successfully plundered a batch of extraordinary characteristics and seals."
Although the "Hermit" stated that these were two rumors, the amount of information was also very large.
Klein seemed to see the decline of an extraordinary family in the Fourth Epoch, and the scene of some evil extraordinary organizations taking advantage of the situation.
Alger concluded in his heart: In other words, in the eyes of the "Hermit", the "Spiritual Knowledge Society" must be related to the "Witch Cult".
Fors first sighed at the high level of the Tarot Club. Many seemingly difficult questions could be answered from all sides. Then she asked the question in her mind: "Why did the Abraham family suddenly decline?"
Odysseus said: "It seems to be related to the ancestors of the Abraham family and their curse."
This reminded Klein of Mr. "Gate" mentioned by Russell in his diary: Could it be that the family declined because the powerful Mr. "Gate" was exiled?
But then he denied this idea: This may be only part of the reason. After all, such a large family generally does not have only one angel. If there is no powerful existence, the process of decline will definitely not be too fast.
Although Fors still has some doubts, she knows that if she continues to ask, the "Hermit" may need to use his channels to understand the corresponding information, which requires transactions and other costs.
Then she looked at the Hermit: "Excuse me, what do you want to ask?"
Odysseus first said to the head of the bronze table: "Mr. Fool, I want to ask Miss Magician to have a private conversation."
Klein said in a calm tone: "Okay."
Whether it was a private conversation or not did not affect him. He could still listen in on the conversation between the two.
After the Fool isolated the senses of other members, Odysseus said to Fors: "At the previous party, I heard you accidentally mention that you are a writer?"
Fors was slightly stunned: Did I mention that before?
Odysseus had already prepared for this. He pretended to be unconfident and said, "When I heard 'Sun' tell his story, didn't you say 'from a writer's perspective'? I thought you were a writer?" "
I... I seem to have said that." Fors couldn't remember clearly, because when she heard "Little Sun" tell his story, she thought several times: If I use the method of writing to tell this story...
And when analyzing the problem, she also used the way she wrote novels to analyze it many times, and it is very likely that she said it easily and accidentally exposed such information.
Even Klein, who was listening, didn't pay attention to whether the "Magician" said this, because he had long known that the "Magician" made a living by writing, so he didn't pay attention to this aspect at all.
He thought to himself: It's not impossible for the "Magician" to accidentally expose such information. She is very cautious in many places, but she has no defense in other places. Just now, when "Justice" was trading with "Hermit", she covered her mouth because she accidentally said out of surprise in her heart.
Odysseus's words just now were carefully planned. He had originally thought of contacting Fors through Xio.
But that would be strange, after all, Xio had never mentioned Fors in front of the "leader", but the "leader" suddenly came to Xio and said: Please introduce me to your good friend Fors.
Just from the sound of it, it felt like he had bad intentions.
And it might also expose the connection between the "leader" and "Lelouch", so he decided to use the "hermit" to ask the "magician", he knew that Fors would not notice this.
Odysseus said: "I have a few questions about publishing."
"Ah?" Fors thought he had heard it wrong: "The Hermit" is going to publish a book? "Research on Mystical Symbols"?, Chapter 108 Lelouch is a time traveler? (Additional chapter for reward!)
"The Fool" Klein and "Magician" Fors had similar ideas: as a researcher in the field of mysticism, he also wanted to publish a book? And publish it publicly?
There are extraordinary people who have left behind works on extraordinary and mysticism. The "Book of Secrets" in Klein's hand is said to be the work of a demigod.
However, this book has not been published publicly, and it is very likely to be a single copy, with at most a few manuscripts.
Fors cleared her throat to cover up her random thoughts: "What kind of book do you want to publish? Well, I do know a few publishers, but they will only be interested if there is a good story or good writing."
Odysseus said: "It belongs to the research category."
He explained: "It is a study of herbs."
Fors nodded and thought: So that's it.
She had heard the "Hermit" talk about herbal knowledge before, and it seemed very professional.
"Books like this are reference books, so it should be easy to get them printed." Based on his own experience, Fors said, "But the print run may be small, usually less than 5,000 copies, or even just 1,000 copies."
Odysseus asked again, "If I mail the manuscript to the publisher, can I get it published without exposing my information?"
"In theory, yes," Fors replied, "but the chances of it being published are very small. If the author is not famous, it is almost impossible to get it published.
"I suggest asking the writer to recommend it to the publisher, so the chances of it being published will be higher. "
Odysseus thought to himself: "Code Geass" is somewhat famous, but it is not a good reputation. In order to avoid offending the nobles, the publishing house may refuse to publish such a book.
But if Fors helps to recommend it, it will bring her a lot of trouble. The "Substitute Punisher" may follow this clue and collect the copper pennies in her gas meter.
Then Odysseus thought about it and realized that he could contact several writers using his intelligence network, but in this case, it would expose the connection between Mr. Gal and "Code Geass", or the connection between "Leader" and "Code Geass".
This is also the result that Odysseus does not want to see.
At this time, Fors said again: "In addition to the recommendation of writers, you can also ask well-known journalists for recommendations."
Odysseus nodded. He also did not have any journalist friends he trusted too much.
The transaction ended here. After the individual communication ended, the transaction session of this Tarot Club ended.
When it came to the free communication session, "Justice" Audrey said first: "There was a fire on King's Avenue yesterday! "
Fors, who was also in Backlund, said, "I also heard about this. It is said that a noble secretly built a fighting arena on King's Avenue, and it was burned down last night."
She saw the relevant news in the newspaper this morning: "According to the information disclosed in the newspaper, it seems that it is not as simple as building a fighting arena.
"The noble also imprisoned and tortured some girls in the fighting arena, and used fighting players to form a gang organization, doing many shady things for the nobles.
"For example, killing workers who organized strikes, killing mistresses who intended to blackmail nobles for nobles, killing women who reported to the police station after being violated by nobles, etc.
"The operator of the fighting arena used the relationship with the nobles to help these gang members get away with crimes many times."
Fors commented: "Such people should be burned to death."
At this time, the news of Bishop's murder had not been published, and Fors thought Bishop was still alive.
After reading the report of the Daily Observer, she also wrote a letter to the parliament, suggesting that the legal immunity of the nobles be revoked.
Not only the king and queen can enjoy this right, in the Kingdom of Loen, nobles above the baron basically have legal immunity. As long as the king, the parliament, or the church do not want a noble to die, they can legally evade legal sanctions no matter what crime they have committed.
Not many people know about this matter. After all, it is not a glorious thing, and the judicial authorities cannot publicize it everywhere.
Fors only learned about this matter when she consulted many books and magazines about law when she was writing a book.
The two female members were very angry about the fighting field, but the other members did not seem to be very interested.
"Little Sun" in the "Forsaken Land of God" did not care much about this topic, and some of the experiences of Klein and "Hanged Man" Alger had long allowed them to see the true face of the nobles, and they were not surprised that the nobles could do these things.
"World" said in a dull voice: "Thanks to the fire, otherwise no one would know the existence of the fighting arena."
He was going to make a simple comment and talk about other topics, but Audrey, "Justice", immediately said: "No, it was not because of the fire that people learned the truth of the matter.
"It was a brave Beyonder who killed the noble who ran the fighting arena and several of the noble's subordinates! Then he set fire to the fighting arena!"
"The noble is dead?" Fors was stunned: "The report in the newspaper is not comprehensive?"
"Yes, someone blocked the news!" Audrey said seriously: "According to Lelouch... it was that brave Beyonder. According to him, he delivered relevant evidence to major newspapers and police stations.
"But only the Daily Observer reported it. Someone must have blocked the newspaper's report and the police's investigation."
Lelouch? Klein suddenly felt that the name was very familiar. Fors asked, "What's the Sequence of the Beyonder named Lelouch? How did he kill the noble?"
Audrey said, "Based on my observation, he is only Sequence 8..."
"What? Sequence 8?" Alger also joined the topic, "Didn't the noble who was killed have any Beyonder bodyguards?"
"Yes, but I think Lelouch was fully prepared for this!" Audrey said, "He first disguised himself as a contestant in the fighting arena, and through two games attracted the attention of Bishop, the manager of the fighting arena.
"But because Lelouch was unwilling to join the 3N Party... The 3N Party is the gang that Miss Magician mentioned just now, which was formed by Bishop using contestants in the fighting arena.
"So Bishop sent members of the 3N Party to assassinate Lelouch, but Lelouch killed three members instead, and only one member ran back, and it was said that he seemed to have mental problems.
"I don't know what magical method Lelouch used. The crime scene was clearly burned by a fire, but one of the members was frozen to death! "
Odysseus's mouth curled up slightly. It felt good to be praised.
A big fire?
Klein remembered the report from a few days ago. He manipulated the "world" to ask: "Is it the fire that happened on Riverbend Avenue?"
Audrey immediately said: "Yes! That fire.
"This attracted Bishop's attention even more, so he arranged two very difficult extraordinary fighting matches for Lelouch.
"Later I heard that before the second match, Bishop promised Lelouch that as long as he won the two battles, he would personally host the ceremony for him to join the 3N Party.
"Lelouch won both battles and even killed an extraordinary person who could command the undead to fight.
"Bishop was very happy and thought that he would have another powerful subordinate, so after the second battle, he went to the fighting field in person.
"Lelouch took the opportunity to kill Bishop and set a big fire, burning everything there!"
Klein commented in his heart: This was an action with a rigorous plan. Of course, Lelouch's personal ability was also very strong, otherwise he would not have been able to win the two extraordinary fights.
The image of a lone hero stood out in his mind.
Fors seemed to understand something, and she asked Audrey: "Were you there at the time?"
"Yes, I had seen Lelouch before that," Audrey answered truthfully, "and was very interested in the words and deeds of this extraordinary person, so I went to watch the game, but I saw such a big surprise."
After hearing what "Justice" said, Fors recalled that at the last gathering, "Justice" seemed to have asked other members what the consequences would be if they refused the invitation of a certain extraordinary organization?
Combined with her description just now, she should have met Lelouch who refused the recruitment of the 3N Party.
Alger frowned and said, "Is there no extraordinary person in the audience who stopped this?"
"Yes! There were extraordinary people who tried to help Bishop, but their extraordinary abilities were blocked by a barrier protecting the audience." Audrey followed to explain:
"Because that game was an unregulated game where weapons could be carried, there must be a barrier to protect the audience in the audience seats.
"But what people didn't expect was that the barrier protected Lelouch. "
Alger smiled and said, "This should also be in Lelouch's calculations."
He said, "Based on your description, it is not difficult to see that Lelouch is a person with excellent planning ability. Relying on step-by-step planning, he approached the noble and completed the assassination.
"In order to better complete the plan, he will of course make a detailed investigation of the final assassination location and collect relevant information through various channels.
"If I were Lelouch, I would be very happy to know that there is a barrier protecting the audience there!
"Because it means that the assassination mission has become much simpler.
"First of all, it is impossible for there to be Beyonders with too high a sequence in the audience. After all, a Sequence 5 cannot be interested in the battle between Sequence 8 and Sequence 7.
"And among the Beyonder bodyguards, it is impossible for a Sequence 5 to appear. The reason is also very simple. Who would be a bodyguard at Sequence 5?
"Perhaps only the king and a few great nobles can afford Beyonders of this level to be bodyguards.
"Now that we have that barrier, we only need to deal with the extraordinary bodyguards around the noble named Bishop."
The other members nodded repeatedly, and even Odysseus couldn't help but admire in his heart: Great minds think alike.
Fors asked again: "Did Lelouch leave any inspiring words at that time?"
Audrey's mind immediately popped up the words that impressed him: "He said that he was a rebellious Lelouch!"
Klein, who was behind the gray fog, almost slapped his thigh: I remember, this... this guy is a time traveler!
Thank you all for your rewards, and add another chapter to show your appreciation. Chapter 109 Sherlock Detective's Good Idea
"The Fool" Klein suddenly recalled that "Code Geass" is also called "Code Geass: The Rebellion", which is the name of an anime!
It is a story about a noble boy rebelling against the rule of the nobles. He had watched two seasons before crossing over!
He guessed that Lelouch should be a time traveler. If he simply called him Lelouch, it might be a coincidence, but if "rebellion" and "Lelouch" are added together, it is definitely a stalk that only time travelers would use.
Thinking of this, Klein smiled: There is indeed not only one time traveler in this world. Roselle traveled here more than a hundred years ago. At that time, the emperor thought he was the protagonist of this world, but now it seems that he is just the protagonist of an era.
There is another time traveler who traveled to this world at about the same time as me. I became the chivalrous thief "Black Emperor" and he became "Code Geass: The Rebellion". People from my hometown are indeed very disappointed with this era and some places in this kingdom.
Klein currently has no idea of recognizing the other party. First, it is not certain that he can find the other party, and second, recognizing each other now is not very useful.
"Hermit" Odysseus felt somewhat regretful: At that time, he left the words "rebellious Lelouch" in a moment of haste. Klein should have understood that this Lelouch must be a time traveler.
But he thought again: But it's not a big problem. Lelouch's "account" has been cancelled. At most, he will leave a book, and nothing else. With the clues Klein knows, it is impossible to suspect me.
"Magician" Fors was a little curious after hearing Miss Justice's answer: "Why did he leave such a word? 'Rebellious'? Is he still a rebellious teenager."
Audrey said: "Maybe he is expressing his uncompromising spirit."
Odysseus nodded slightly: Those who know me are justice.
Klein almost twitched his mouth without any image: Maybe he just had a second-year syndrome, just like the emperor.
"Hanged Man" Alger was more concerned: "Has this Lelouch been caught by the official Beyonder?"
Audrey replied: "Not yet."
"This person is very powerful." Alger commented.
Klein thought: It is not easy to set fire to King's Road and get away with it.
Fors said: "I hope he will never be arrested."
Audrey also said: "I hope so."
Odysseus's mouth curled up slightly: You can rest assured about this. The official Beyonders can't catch a ghost.
This topic ended here, and everyone talked about other topics.
Odysseus said: "I got some news. Recently, the activities of the 'Rose School' in Backlund have been very frequent. I don't know what their purpose is. Do you have any news about them?"
Alger, Audrey and others shook their heads, but "World" suddenly said: "As far as I know, they are solving some internal problems."
"I heard about this too," Odysseus said: "The 'Indulgence Faction' and the 'Temperance Faction' seem to have fought once in the dock area.
"Later, the 'Rose School' Indulgence Faction was severely hit by the official Beyonders, and it seemed to have withdrawn from Backlund.
"But just a few days ago, the official Beyonders solved another 'werewolf', who is said to be a member of the 'Rose School'. It is probably certain that their retreat is an illusion. I don't know what the purpose is."
Audrey and Fors were very concerned about this matter, and both felt that "Such a thing actually happened in Backlund?"
Klein, who was behind the gray fog, was obviously stunned. He didn't expect that the "Hermit" knew more about the recent actions of the "Rose School" than he did.
He only knew that the "Indulgence Faction" withdrew after being hit by the "Mechanical Heart", so Miss Sharon and Maric began to continue their activities, but they didn't expect that their withdrawal was actually an illusion.
Klein decided to inform Miss Sharon tonight and ask them to be cautious for the time being.
In fact, what Odysseus said just now was for Klein to hear, hoping to attract the attention of Miss Sharon and others.
Although Bernadette had learned about the drug buyer Bernie from Miss Sharon before, the "Mysterious Queen" might not necessarily remind Miss Sharon that she needed to guard against the "Indulgence Faction".
It would be better to let Klein remind me again. If this is a counterattack against the "Temperance Faction", the bodyguard lady will be in danger.
After communicating for a while, Klein announced that this Tarot Club was over.
Odysseus returned to the real world and lay quietly in the armchair for a while. He recalled the information he got from Fors. He couldn't think of a good channel to publish it for a while.
If it really doesn't work, he can only delete the analysis and explanation of the battle with Chibman, but in that case, the charm of this book will be gone.
For now, he can only wait and see.
Then, Odysseus began to think about the promotion again. This time he planned not to report to the "Mechanical Heart" and get promoted secretly first.
Anyway, the main materials are already there. Thinking of this, Odysseus suddenly remembered that there was no blood of the silver-billed crane in his store.
He took a deep breath, stood up and wrote two notes, then went to the shop in front and asked his clerk Kena to run errands. One note was sent to 117 Queen's Road, the residence of Viscount Kelton, to buy the blood of the silver-billed crane from him.
The second note was sent to the Backlund Post, notifying the members of the Mystic Research Society to gather at nine o'clock tomorrow morning.
After that, Odysseus was watching the store, waiting for Mr. "Fool" to notify him to perform the bestowal ceremony and obtain the "fruit of the fleabane tree" traded from Audrey.
...
Wood District, Minsk Street No. 15.
Dingling dingling~
Klein, who had just finished reading the "Spirit World Observations" copied by the "Magician" and returned to the real world from "Above the Gray Fog", heard the doorbell.
He hurried downstairs and came to the door. The scene outside the door had already appeared in his mind.
Standing outside the door was Mike Joseph, a reporter from the Daily Observer with blue eyes and two exquisite mustaches.
Klein could basically guess the other party's purpose. He opened the door and smiled, "Let me guess, do you need a bodyguard now?"
Klein had also read the report in the Daily Observer today. Mike smiled bitterly and said, "Yes."
Klein glanced at the street outside, then stepped aside and invited Mike in.
After the door was closed, Mike smiled and said, "I wrote something that made someone angry again, and this time, I angered a noble."
Klein looked through the window glass and said, "So you were followed."
"It seems that I was followed." Mike sat on the sofa and said, "I always felt that someone was watching me this afternoon."
He took a deep breath and said, "This time the newspaper approved a week's worth of protection funds for me in one go. How about 10 pounds a day? You have to protect my safety for the next week.
"If a fight breaks out, I will give you more money."
Klein opened his mouth, but still said, "Wait a minute, I'll go to the bathroom and think about it. "
In fact, he was inclined to accept this commission. After all, Mike must have withstood tremendous pressure to make the news public in his report this morning.
But if it was too dangerous, he would reject the commission and ask Eisinger Stanton, who had official channels, to take over Mike's commission.
After all, this commission also involved the nobles, and he didn't want to get involved in the struggle of the nobles.
Coming to the bathroom, Klein took off the yellow crystal pendant on his wrist and said to himself: "Mike Joseph's commission is very dangerous.
" "Mike Joseph's commission is very dangerous.
" "..."
After repeating it seven times, the pendant rotated clockwise, but the rotation was not large.
In other words, there is a certain danger, but it is within an acceptable range.
Crash~
Klein pretended to flush the toilet, then returned to the living room: "I have decided to accept your commission. When can I start protecting you?"
"It's best to start now."
Klein nodded: "No problem."
Then he asked: "Does your family need protection?"
"I sent my family to the suburbs last night. "Mike said, "That residence is very hidden. As long as I don't visit my family, they won't be able to find it."
As a senior reporter, of course, he needs a secret hiding place to protect his family.
"That's good." Klein said as he put on his coat, "Then from now on, you have to obey my command. If I tell you to hide, you hide. If I tell you to run, you run.
"In addition, I have thought of a great place to protect you, but before going there, I must ask, how much funding did you get this time?"
"150 pounds." Mike said, "If it's not enough, you can apply for it again."
"Very good." Klein smiled slightly, "How about we go to the Nanmu Ballroom to find the girls to dance with us?"
...
No. 51 Henry Street, Gal Herb Shop.
In the evening, Odysseus still did not receive the notice of the "Fool" to arrange the ceremony, and the blood of the silver-billed crane had been delivered. Now all that was missing was a main material.
Just as the herb shop began to get busy, Odysseus noticed that his pocket watch lit up again.
But this time the pocket watch was indeed yellow. This pocket watch can receive two signals in total, one from No. 199 Hairun Avenue, the meeting place of the Mysticism Research Society.
If the waiter presses the signal transmitter there, Odysseus's pocket watch will emit a red signal.
One is from the "Nanmu Ballroom". Mandy also has a signal transmitter in her hand. If she presses it, the pocket watch will light up yellow.
Odysseus had to hand over the business in the store to his clerk Kena. He went to the basement in the backyard, changed into Mr. Gal's clothes, and used the "teleportation array" to come to the third floor of the "Nanmu Ballroom".
As soon as the door of the room on the third floor was opened, the front desk immediately came up to greet him: "Mr. Gal, Mike Joseph, a reporter from the Daily Observer, is here again in the ballroom.
"Originally, Ms. Mandy thought he was just here to consume, and even sent a bottle of wine.
"But more than ten minutes ago, a group of people broke in and said they wanted to take Mr. Mike away.
"Ms. Mandy calmed the group of people down and asked me to wait for you here to explain the whole story to you. "
Odysseus said, "I see."
He walked quickly towards the stairs, but suddenly turned back at the stairs and asked the front desk, "Do you think we should protect reporter Mike?"
"I... I read his report today, and I don't think we should let those people take him away." But then she lowered her head in a panic, "I, I don't know if I'm right."
Odysseus smiled and said, "That makes sense."
After that, he turned around and walked downstairs quickly.
The author has caught a cold these two days. He suddenly started to have a fever today. I have used up all my energy and can only update normally. I don't have time to read everyone's comments or anything.
Everyone should also pay attention. There has been a flu epidemic recently. The author seems to have been infected after going out for breakfast., Chapter 110 Sherlock with a Bad Stomach
When Odysseus came to the first floor, he saw two groups of people confronting each other. One group was wearing dark clothes and was dressed more neatly.
Mike, an old acquaintance, and "Detective Sherlock" stood opposite this group of people.
But there were not only the two of them confronting that group of people, but also the waiters, cooks, and thugs of the "Nanmu Ballroom".
Although they had not received a clear order to protect the reporter, they vaguely intended to protect Mike in the middle.
Mandy was negotiating with the other party in a dignified manner, warning them not to affect the business of the ballroom.
The guests and the girls were hiding in the distance, and the band stopped playing. Everyone was paying attention to the confrontation between the two groups.
"Everyone, what happened here?" Odysseus pretended to be a little surprised and asked, "Why is there no one dancing on the dance floor? Why did the band stop playing?"
Seeing Odysseus, Mandy breathed a sigh of relief and introduced the group of people opposite to him with a smile, "This is Mr. Gal."
The leader of the other party was a man in his thirties, with small eyes and not looking very fierce. His subordinates whispered to him about Mr. Gal.
The man also forced a smile: "Mr. Gal, we have met before, at a ball held by a noble."
"I haven't attended a ball for a long time." Odysseus said, "If you are here to consume, I welcome you. For the sake of our previous meeting, I will give you two bottles of wine.
"But if you are here to make trouble, I'm sorry, please leave immediately."
"We are here to find someone." The man pointed at Mike and said, "Please ask this gentleman to go out with us."
Odysseus said lightly, "He is also a guest here. I don't care about other places. Here, he can sit on the sofa if he wants to, and he can stay if he doesn't want to go out. "
The waiters, cooks, and thugs, as if they had received some orders, moved behind Odysseus and stood in front of Mike.
The man opposite, who had small eyes and had just spoken to Odysseus, took a deep breath and said after seeing this, "What a disappointing answer. I will report this to Mr. Viscount Wade."
"Go ahead."
The man had a gloomy face and waved his hand behind him. Most of his subordinates left the ballroom, and the man took a few of his subordinates and sat on the sofa not far away, obviously preparing to stare at Mike closely.
Odysseus said to the band, "Keep playing."
He said to the waiters and cooks, "Go and do your thing. "
As the music sounded, applause suddenly sounded around the dance floor. It was sparse at first, and then it became continuous.
Odysseus smiled. This was applause for him and Mike.
At the same time, this applause made several of Viscount Wade's subordinates feel a little uneasy.
Soon, someone started dancing on the dance floor again, and the dance hall returned to its previous liveliness.
Odysseus made a gesture to Mike and Klein to sit down, and then he sat aside, cutting a cigar while asking, "Are you here to consume? Or do you want me to provide protection?"
Klein said, "I hope you can provide protection."
Odysseus smiled and said, "He's quite honest."
Mike frowned and said, "I didn't expect that Viscount Wade was so angry that he wanted to take me away in front of so many people."
At this time, Viscount Wade did such a thing, which would only make everyone pay more attention to this matter.
"You haven't read today's evening paper yet, right? "Odysseus asked while lighting a cigar with a lighter.
Mike suddenly guessed what was going on: "Other newspapers couldn't stand the pressure and started reporting on this matter?"
Odysseus had just read the "Loen Evening News" in the pharmacy: "Yes, I believe this is what made Viscount Wade angry."
The three listened to the soothing music and looked at the lively dance floor. They were silent for a few seconds.
Of course, they were not in the mood to appreciate the music at this time. They were thinking about their own things.
After a few seconds, Klein was the first to speak: "Viscount Wade will probably send someone again, or use his connections to let the police or some department take Mike away."
"Yes, I think so too." Odysseus took a puff of his cigar and said, "We can't wait any longer, otherwise we will be very passive."
Mike was very moved to hear Mr. Gal call "us": "The truth can no longer be concealed. My previous purpose of reporting the truth under pressure has been achieved.
"Thank you for your protection. I want to write a report about what happened today. Let them take me away. Otherwise..."
Odysseus raised his hand and said, "Things haven't come to that point yet. What if Viscount Wade is busy with something and doesn't have time to deal with this matter?"
Klein was slightly stunned: "You...you are not going to send someone to set the fire again?"
"Please pay attention to your wording. What do you mean by 'again'?" Odysseus said seriously, "The fire was caused by the aging of the gas pipeline. What does it have to do with me?"
Klein resisted the urge to twitch his lips.
"But this is a very good suggestion." Odysseus said, "If Viscount Wade is busy putting out the fire tonight, he won't have time to catch Mr. Mike." Klein thought: Hey, hey, hey, stop spitting blood, okay? How did it become my suggestion?
But now is not the time to argue about this, he reminded: "I heard that Viscount Wade has some influence in Backlund, and he is a noble with an optimistic financial situation after all, there must be some powerful Beyonders in the mansion."
Odysseus nodded: "You are right, but I remember that Viscount Wade just had a new mistress last year, which made this Viscount very fascinated.
"If there is a fire in her place, I believe that Viscount will have to put out the fire, comfort her, arrange a new residence, and stay there for a night.
"By the time he pays attention to us again, it will be tomorrow morning."
Mike opened his mouth and said: "This, this is a bit bad, right?"
"Don't worry, no one will be hurt." Odysseus waved to Mandy and asked her to immediately notify Enoch to send people to prevent the fire.
Even if Viscount Wade likes a mistress, he will not send Beyonder bodyguards to her, so let Enoch do it.
After Mandy sent her assistant to inform Enoch, Odysseus asked her to use the intelligence network of the "Nanmu Ballroom" to reveal to the radical nobles that Viscount Wade was arresting reporter Mike.
Viscount Wade is a staunch conservative, and one of the more radical conservatives.
From some of the reactions of the nobles today, Odysseus believes that the radicals seem to want to use Viscount Wade's incident to attack the conservatives, and Odysseus is willing to provide them with some materials.
Of course, the nobles don't care about the life or death of a reporter, but they can use this to attack Viscount Wade's narrow-mindedness. Among the nobles, this is a very severe criticism and attack.
However, the nobles usually act very slowly. The so-called radicals refer to their radical ideas, not radical means.
According to the habits of the nobles, they must prepare and contact before they attack the conservatives.
By that time, it is estimated that Mike has been buried.
Therefore, the most important thing now is to help Mike delay for a few more days.
Odysseus took a deep breath and asked Mandy to compile a document about Viscount Wade.
At this time, Klein suddenly said, "Sorry, I'm going to the bathroom."
After he left, Mike said, "This detective seems to have a bad stomach. When he accepted my commission, he hurried to the bathroom."
Odysseus smiled slightly: Because that is his kingdom of God, of course he has to go there often.
But then, he couldn't laugh anymore, because he guessed why Klein went to the bathroom.
After thinking about it for a while, Odysseus called a waiter over and asked the waiter to arrange a spacious room for Mike and "Detective Sherlock".
So he took the opportunity to follow Mike and the waiter to the third floor, and left on the pretext of returning to the room with the "teleportation array".
Viscount Wade's subordinates had been blocked just now, and Mike was safe for the time being, so there was no need to always follow him.
After closing the door, Odysseus quickly took off his mask and windbreaker and put them in the cabinet.
Just after dealing with "Mr. Gar's" equipment, he received a notice from Mr. Fool, asking him to prepare the altar and perform the bestowal ceremony.
Odysseus quickly found two candles and drew the symbol representing Mr. Fool in the middle of the candles.
He also knew that Mr. Fool was in a hurry at this time, so he set up the altar as quickly as possible and quickly completed the prayer of the bestowal ceremony.
The illusory door with mysterious patterns opened in front of him, and two "fruits of the flying taro tree" appeared on the altar.
After Odysseus put away the extraordinary materials in a box, he quickly put on his windbreaker and mask, walked out quickly, and took a look at the room arranged by the waiter for Mike.
After a while, Klein also came up from the first floor. Seeing the room with pink as the main color, he smiled helplessly.
Odysseus said to them: "Don't ask the girl to accompany you today. Be careful at night. If you have anything, go to Mandy."
After that, he said goodbye to Mike and Klein, took the information of Viscount Wade from Mandy, and came to the room with the "teleportation array" again.
With the "fruit of the genus Erigeron", Odysseus returned to the herbal medicine store and went to the front shop to work for a while. After the busiest time, he returned to the room in the backyard, lay in the easy chair, and read the information compiled by Mandy.
The information said that Viscount Wade liked to eat a kind of Lunburg snack called crispy croissants in the morning. Odysseus thought about it, went to the front counter to get a few herbs, and prepared a small bottle of strong laxative.
Then he returned to the "Nanmu Ballroom" again and asked the chef to come early tomorrow morning to make a batch of exquisite crispy croissants.
Then Odysseus found Mandy again and asked her to send someone to follow or find out where Viscount Wade stayed tonight, and then the two made a detailed plan.
When Odysseus returned to the herbal medicine store again, it was almost midnight.
In order to prevent any emergency from happening at the "Nanmu Ballroom" at night, Odysseus simply stayed in the herbal medicine store tonight.
Just as he was about to make the bed, his spirituality suddenly felt something and looked at the wooden box containing the "fruit of the Erigeron tree".
