Mystery: Shadow of Order

Chapter 249: First meeting with Klein

It was already evening, and there were more pedestrians on the road in the East District. Most of them were numb, and even walking seemed to exhaust their last strength. Only a few walked into the tavern next to them with a smile on their faces. .

With his whiskers on and wearing a black trench coat, Rawls lowered his hat, glanced at the familiar tavern, and walked into a side alley.

Ten minutes later, a man dressed as a worker, wearing a peaked cap, with a medium build and a sallow face as if he was seriously ill, came to the tavern, pushed open the door and looked inside, then backed out again, and swept the door. Looking around, I found a figure walking out of the alley on the side, and after glancing at him, some entered the alley again.

The sallow-faced man coughed and walked into the alley. Before he went too far, he found the figure in the black trench coat with his hands in the pockets of the trench coat, standing not far away and looking at himself.

After coughing again, the sallow-faced man looked left and right and found that there was no one else, and then walked towards the figure. The muscles on his sallow face began to wriggle strangely, and soon turned into a delicate and soft facial features, but his eyebrows seemed He has never grown, has a rather green face, but his height has not changed much.

"How did you recognize me?"

Rawls looked at Xio, who had obviously changed his height, with a cold face:

"Do you have a lot of money?"

"Uh..." Xio's delicate facial features immediately squeezed out a bitter smile. Although this mask is very useful, the money it will cost is terrifying.

After use, you need to prepare a purification ceremony to remove negative effects, or take 500ml of holy water. The former not only costs a lot of money, but also needs to find a suitable Beyonder to preside over the ceremony. Although the latter can be prepared in advance, the cost of holy water is not small, especially a large dose of holy water, 500ml also costs nearly 10 pounds to buy.

Even because Xio bought too much holy water in his circle during this time, the price of holy water has risen to a certain extent.

More importantly, 500ml of holy water can only be used on the mask for one hour. The last time she wore the mask for more than 2 hours, drinking holy water was not very useful, so she had to spend 30 pounds to invite someone to use a purification ceremony to avoid becoming a corpse. , but also got a bad cold, and it takes a week to recover.

"MI9's investigation of me has reached the final stage. In a few days, the masked man will notify the final result."

Already in the final stage? It seems that MI9 has made a lot of profit this time, otherwise it would not have progressed so quickly... Rawls's expression gradually softened, and he asked in a deep voice:

"What was the result of this MI9 operation?"

"I don't know the specific harvest. I was only on the periphery during the operation, and only caught a few people. They should be people from Intis..." Xio scratched the few strands of blond hair exposed under the peaked cap, "But listen to that masked man. If so, it should be a great harvest. Not only may I pass the review ahead of time, but he may even be transferred to MI9. He also said that if this is possible, he hopes that I will enter his department. "

Rawls rubbed his fingers in the pockets of his trench coat. He knew very little about the masked man. He only knew that he used to be the subordinate of Xiu's father. That was on the premise that he knew Hugh's identity.

Moreover, the masked man was very close to the royal faction, but he lacked a certain degree of trust in him. If he is transferred to MI9, it is very likely that he will still serve as a low-level person in the royal family's plan. In that case, the possibility of Xio being read or dreaming is very high, which is too unsafe.

"If you pass the review, you can get along with the masked man normally, but don't get too close, especially after he is transferred back to MI9. Don't think about investigating your father's affairs, and don't have too much contact with the royal faction. Now MI9 is ​​in charge of the royal family, Viscount Stratford, the chief of the palace guard, and you should know him."

Viscount Stratford... Hugh was a little dazed, she remembered this person, who was her father's deputy, but... Hugh's expression became a little excited, her dark green eyes stared at Rawls:

"He had something to do with my father's death? He killed my father?"

"I think you need to calm down! Miss Hugh Dilcha!" Rawls did not evade, staring at Hugh's dark green eyes.

Xio trembled, the muscles on her face began to twitch and wriggle, like a mess of soft mud, and her height seemed to have changed, shrinking back to her original height, and a few seconds later, a human skin mask fell off , fell into the hands of Rawls.

She only felt as if she was facing a giant beast, and the tall body in front of her seemed to be growing, becoming taller than the mountain peak, and the sense of fear it brought was as if she felt MI9 cleared roses on the outside that day. The school was even stronger. Under the strong stimulation, she felt that her spirit was about to break away from her body, and she vaguely saw an illusory and pale mist floating.

I don't know how long it took for Xio to come back to his senses, only to feel that his back was soaked in cold sweat, and the few strands of blond hair exposed outside the peaked cap were also wet with sweat, and they were wet against his skin. Seeing that the figure in front of her seemed to have also become a normal size, she panted loudly and said:

"I'm sorry..."

"You go to the pub next door, and I'll find you later!"

Xio nodded blankly, turned around and walked out of the alley like a lost soul.

Seeing that Hugh's figure had disappeared into the alley, Rawls squeezed the mask in his hand into a ball and walked towards the depths of the alley.

A figure was outlined behind him. Her upper body was a jersey with a waist, and her lower body was tight-fitting breeches made of muslin. She was wearing high boots, a top hat, and a pair of deerskin gloves, as if a horse was returning from a race. the knight. She looked at the alley, then followed Rawls to the depths of the alley.

...

"His favor allows us to suppress the Beyonders in this pathway, especially those with a lower sequence than us, and also have some influence on the adjacent pathways. Some people in the family speculate that this is the same as the favored ones of the Church of the Seven Gods. With the blessing of the True God in your path, you will have a certain degree of elevation in personality." Yalishia's tone was flat, which in her opinion is a normal thing, otherwise she is only a Sequence 4 "law Mage", It is impossible to convince the two Sequence 3 elders in the clan.

"But for high sequences, especially those who have reached the angel level, the impact is very small..." If it had a certain impact on the angel level, then the Tamara family would no longer have to hide in the Hornakis Mountains.

"Blessed? Divine Favor?" Rawls muttered to himself. He remembered the two major systems within the Church of the Earth, Divine Favored and Divine Favored. The former is favored by the Mother Earth from outside and from other sources Extraordinary, the latter is a cleric who has been favored by the Mother Earth in the two paths of "Mother" and "Moon".

Even without the apostolic decree countersigned by the favored one, the favored one can be considered invalid at all.

This is because these two paths have certain problems, and Rawls's "lawyer" path and the adjacent path "arbiter" also have such problems. It's just that there is no **** and no church, so they are not subject to such problems. Divide.

As for the benefactors or those favored by the true gods, there is indeed such a difference from other Beyonders in this pathway, and it has a lot to do with how they act. The role of a Beyonder is actually to move closer to the true God of this path, and to be favored by the true God is equivalent to having obtained the permission of the castle owner to enter the castle openly and become the owner.

However, Rawls has another conjecture. This may be the resurrection of a true god. After all, they can admit that they must be very similar to themselves. Such an existence can easily become a resurrection. , and even the god-descended vessel.

Of course, there must be some exceptions, such as Roselle's second son, Bonova, which was the choice made by the God of Steam in order to win over (threatened) Roselle. But it is also because of His favor that Bonova has now become an angel.

But... Rawls looked at Alysia, why the favored ones of "Uncertain Mist" can only reach Sequence 4? Is this not enough favor?

But this is unlikely. Since "Mist of Uncertainty" wants to expand its influence, it will only allow its favored ones to gain the right to speak of the Tamara family. Naturally, the higher the strength, the better. What about on sequence 4?

Is that the curse? Rawls once saw in that book "Curse", saying that the gods like Alysia bear a curse, and according to the above statement that the time is short, he even guessed that these gods may not live long. It will be too long, and it will definitely not reach the lifespan limit of ordinary demigods, and may even be shorter than the lifespan of normal people.

This is definitely not in line with the expectations of "Mist of Uncertainty", but the reality is really like this... There must be something I don't know about. Rawls glanced at Alysia again, tore off his beard, and The mask is attached to the face:

"Let's go to the Brave Bar"

...

Bridge District, Iron Gate Street, Brave Bar.

Klein's pseudonymous detective Sherlock Moriarty was playing Texas Hold'em in a card room. Opposite him sat a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy with rare red eyes. It was Ian Wright. He put on the dome hat again, the same age-inappropriate overcoat.

Although rare, two people can play Texas.

A quarter penny coin in Klein's hand flipped up and down, and Ian on the opposite side wasn't paying attention to the card, it was all on the coin.

"Are you worried about my use of Beyonder abilities?" Klein looked at Ian with a half-smiling smile. As a collaborator, Ian knew that he was Beyonder, but he didn't know which way he was. The only Miss Sharon who could possibly know, because of her character, may not be able to tell.

Ian scratched his head a little embarrassedly, and the dome hat was pressed down by him. He did have this idea, but he never said it. Although they played very small, it was also money!

With a "hum" with a smile, Klein's eyes flashed and he looked behind Ian. A figure turned solid, wearing a black gothic court dress and a small soft hat, it was Miss Sharon.

The coin that flipped up and down in his hand bounced up and landed on Klein's two hole cards on the table, heads up.

Klein stood up with a smile and opened his trump card:

"you guessed right."

Ian grimaced, and the opposite and five community cards formed a pair, which was naturally bigger than his pair. Just as he was about to take the money, he found that Mr. Moriarty had left the poker table, took off his hat and saluted behind him:

"Miss Sharon, good evening."

Ian stood up in surprise and turned around to say something, but knowing that Detective Moriarty had something to tell Miss Sharon, his face fell again and he left the card room.

...

Looking at Sharon who didn't want to speak, Klein put on his hat again, probably understanding her temperament, so he said directly:

"Miss Sharon, I recently received a commission, but I fortune-telled that there is a certain danger. The client bought a house from a bankrupt viscount, but found a hidden secret door in the basement, leading to a very dark area. Big underground building. He didn't want too many people to know about this, so he found me, I wonder if you are interested?"

Seeing Sharon's body floating up and down in mid-air, Klein knew that she was divination. She was no different from a spirit world creature in the "wrongful soul" state, and could directly receive information from the spirit world for divination .

"Yes." Sharon's bloodless lips moved slightly, and a cold voice entered Klein's ears~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Then what do I need to pay you? "Klein also has some headaches. Sharon is a Sequence 5 Beyonder. If an Beyonder who reaches this level wants to move, the reward will not be too low.

"No need, this is the reward."

Klein was a little embarrassed. He really helped Sharon and rescued Joel last time, but he had already obtained the Eye of All Black and used it to create a trumpet. And Sharon didn't get much, and it couldn't compare with the characteristics left by Sequence 5 "Marionette Master".

"Then 50 pounds! This is the client's reward. If there is any compensation in the future, it will also be yours. I need to expand my reputation now."

Klein found a reason that wasn't a reason and gave all the rewards to Sharon, and Sharon didn't object and nodded lightly.

Sharon suddenly looked to the side. As a creature in the spiritual world, she felt the fluctuations in the spiritual world. Two figures appeared in the card room one after the other.

The former was a man in his 40s or 50s, wearing a night dress, a top hat, and leaning on a golden cane.

He has a rather beautiful moustache, which is popular among middle-aged and elderly men of the aristocracy. His eyes are long and narrow, his cheeks are thin, his black hair is mixed with a little silver hair, and there are also some wrinkles on his forehead. Smile, polite and distant.

The latter is dressed as a rider. Although wearing a golden mask, it can be seen that it is a lady.

The man dressed as a middle-aged aristocrat bowed to Sharon very politely and said:

"Good evening, ma'am."

Then he looked at Klein again with a smile on his face:

"Looks like you have other guests tonight."
