After hearing the story of the "Hermit" Odysseus, the other members realized again that the research of the "Hermit" was their own blind spot.

For them, they had heard of Giant Language and Dragon Language, and even learned or knew a little bit.

But they had never thought about how these languages came about? And what is the difference between them and human languages?

So as they listened, everyone gradually became engaged, as if they were back in school, back to their student days, listening to the teacher talk about some knowledge that was very unfamiliar to them.

Odysseus continued: "Later, Mr. Hermes invented the ancient Hermes language with reference to Giant Language and Dragon Language, and humans had their own language to communicate with nature.

"The birth of mystical symbols should be similar to this process. At first, it should be the universal symbols that humans can use to communicate with nature, which were improved by human ancestors with reference to the characters of races such as dragons.

"As far as I know, races such as giants and dragons have their own exclusive mystical symbols.

"Those symbols were probably used by them at the beginning to match those syllables that can mobilize spirituality and natural forces. For example, the combination of Giant Language and the mystical symbols used by giants can play a huge role.

"So these symbols themselves have similar effects to Giant Language and Dragon Language.

"It's a pity that they have basically been lost, because these mystical symbols are difficult for humans to learn and use.

"And the mystical symbols of humans did not continue to evolve and develop in the Second Age. By the Third Age, no one understood their inner meaning.

"So the ancient Hermetic language is still a language that belongs exclusively to humans. It can be used to complete sacrifices and rituals, and can mobilize spiritual and natural forces. "

But we have not developed mystical symbols that correspond to it."

At this point, Odysseus paused slightly, and "Justice" Audrey hurriedly asked: "Why has the development of mystical symbols stagnated?"

"There are probably two reasons." Odysseus continued: "The first reason is that in the Third Age, magic potion formulas gradually became popular, and humans could be promoted relatively safely according to the formulas, and obtain more powerful extraordinary powers.

"So it is enough to have a language that can complete prayers or sacrifices. There is no need to study mystical symbols that are not as powerful as extraordinary abilities and are more complicated.

"The second reason is that in the Second Age, there seemed to be a period of great integration among the tribes that had no connection with each other before.

"At this time, the alphabet system appeared and quickly replaced the characters used by the various tribes of mankind. A unified alphabetic writing system appeared, which was equivalent to completely depriving the mystical symbols of their development path."

The other members were a little confused and didn't quite understand the meaning of "Hermit". Only Klein behind the gray fog seemed to understand, after all, he knew the concept of hieroglyphics.

Odysseus knew that everyone didn't understand, so he further explained: "You can imagine that in an era without writing, you wanted to use a symbol to record the concept of 'wheat'. Would you use lines to roughly draw the shape of wheat? Or would you first invent a complex alphabet system, and then use words composed of letters to represent the meaning of wheat? "

Everyone was stunned at first, and then they understood the meaning of "Hermit" one after another!

The first one to understand was Klein: Why didn't I think of these questions before? At the beginning of human civilization, hieroglyphics must have been used! Only after different civilizations began to communicate and merge, did phonetic writing gradually form.

This time, "The Hanged Man" Alger was completely convinced: This research is indeed very profound and amazing.

"Magician" Fors was thinking: "The idea of the Hermit is very reasonable, but why didn't all the scholars before this propose similar ideas?

Then she thought again: It is hard to imagine that there was a period of time when ancient humans used completely different characters from modern ones! Is the language they used also different from modern ones?

Audrey sighed directly: "I didn't expect that our human writing has undergone a huge change!"

Then she asked: "In other words, mystical symbols are actually a kind of symbol that humans use to intuitively express all things in the world?"

Odysseus smiled and said: "You can understand it that way. "

At this time, Derrick, the "Sun" who had been thinking just now, suddenly said: "Mr. Hermit, we in Silver City are still using Giant language and the writing of the Giants, but in our daily communication and the use of writing, we don't feel that we can mobilize the power of nature."

"This is what I'm going to say next," Odysseus said: "First of all, giants also have Giant language for daily communication. These languages have been simplified and will not always mobilize the power of nature.

"Another key concept is that the Giant language spoken by humans is different from the Giant language spoken by giants!"

Derrick was slightly stunned: "No... different?"

The other members didn't understand why they were different?

Odysseus thought for a while and said: "It's not very obvious to use Giant language as an example. We should use Dragon language as an example. Now Dragon language is almost lost, because many syllables cannot be pronounced by ordinary people!"

Klein was the first to understand again. He manipulated the "world" and said: "Different organs produce different syllables." The domain name of this site has been changed to (www.xiaoshubao.net). Please remember.

The other members were a little surprised. Yes, how could a person's vocal cords be the same as a dragon's vocal cords?

"Yes, the vocal cords are different." Odysseus smiled and said, "In addition, because of the difference in brain structure between us and dragons, the internal logic of the language is different.

"But the dragon language has been passed down, because the magic potion will transform the body of the extraordinary, allowing the extraordinary to make some syllables that only dragons can make.

"This is also the reason why the dragon language is not a very common mystical language, andThe reason why human language is more universal is that the vocal cords of giants and humans are not much different, so some occult enthusiasts can learn giant language by themselves. "

Audrey nodded slowly: Why have I never thought of this knowledge before, but after hearing what Mr. Hermit said, it makes people feel so logical?

Fors sighed in his heart: Mr. Hermit has a strong logical ability! This reminds me of the knowledgeable professors I met in college.

Odysseus continued: "But the structure of giants and humans is still somewhat different. Although we can pronounce, we can't achieve the effect of giants speaking giant language.

"This is also the reason why Mr. Hermes created the ancient Hermes language, because the giant language we are using is itself a simplified and weakened giant language.

"The same is true for dragon language. It is difficult for humans to activate all the power and protection mechanisms contained in these languages, so when humans use giant language and dragon language, we will lack the necessary protection.

"Ancient Hermes also has such drawbacks, but the improved Hermes can provide sufficient protection for human spellcasters.

"The underlying reason is that the ancient Hermes borrowed a lot of expressions from the Giant and Dragon languages, while the improved Hermes is completely in line with human expressions, so it is safe for humans." The hall fell into silence again

, and everyone was digesting the information described by the "Hermit".

After a while, Alger said, "What about Elvish? Elvish seems to be used less than Dragon language now, right?"

Odysseus said, "According to my research, there are two language families in the existing ancient languages.

"Elf language is not in the same language family as Giant language and Dragon language, and everyone should know that the languages commonly used in various countries in the northern continent now originated from the ancient Feysac language, and the ancient Feysac language was originally a branch of the Giant language. "The language

used in the City of Silver now is similar to the ancient Feysac language. Although it is still called Giant language, it is also a branch, and it is even likely to be the same branch as the source of the ancient Feysac language.

"The Elvish language is another ancient language family. According to my research and observation, the Highland language in the southern continent now borrows some of the pronunciation of the Elvish language, and it is very likely a branch of the Elvish language."

Alger nodded slowly: "The pronunciation of the Highland language is indeed somewhat unique."

Audrey asked again: "Mr. Hermit, what about the Dutan language? Where did the Dutan language commonly used in the southern continent originate from?"

Odysseus smiled and said: "After answering your question, our transaction can only end here."

Although his answer above has not completely answered Audrey's initial question, it has far exceeded the value of 260 pounds, so the transaction can only end here.

Audrey immediately said: "I can pay you gold pounds, please continue to answer my questions."

Odysseus shook his head: "I don't lack gold pounds for the time being. If I have other needs, I will announce it, and then we will continue to discuss this issue."

Audrey was a little disappointed: "Okay then."

She didn't even think about using "acting method" and other mystical knowledge to exchange for answers. Although these are some secret mystical knowledge, she estimated that the "Hermit" must know them.

Odysseus began to answer Audrey's question: "Dutan is not the same language as Ancient Fesak, but from the root, it belongs to the language family of Giant and Dragon.

"Combined with the beliefs of the southern continent, I guess Dutan may come from the language of the Phoenix.

"It's just that some people speculate that the origin of the Phoenix is in the 'Forsaken Land of God', so the Phoenix language has been lost in the southern and northern continents."

"Phoenix." Audrey repeated the word, and was indeed a little unfamiliar with this extraordinary creature.

She looked at "Sun" and asked: "Mr. Sun, have you heard of the Phoenix tribe?"

Derrick replied: "There is a relevant description in our geography class. It is said that the birthplace of the Phoenix tribe is in our north."

Audrey nodded, which made sense.

She smiled and said: "Thank you, thank you for your answer, I have gained a lot."

This round of transactions ended, and then "World" said to "Hermit": "Two weeks ago, I mentioned that I hope to buy a 'Flame Arrow' from you." The domain name of this website has been changed toKlein the Fool said two weeks ago that he hoped to buy a Flame Arrow from the Hermit.

Of course, he didn't buy it for himself, but placed an order for Maric.

But because Sharon and Maric had to hide for a while after the battle with the "Indulgence Faction" of the "Rose School" at the dock, Klein failed to contact Maric last week, so he didn't mention the previous deal.

But just two days ago, Klein contacted "Miss Bodyguard" Sharon again, and she agreed to the offer of the Hermit on behalf of Maric.

Klein also learned from Sharon that the "Indulgence Faction" had been exposed for unknown reasons and suffered a heavy blow from the "Mechanical Heart". It seems that they have basically left Backlund.

So at this Tarot Club, Klein mentioned the previous deal with the "Hermit".

"No problem." Odysseus thought for a while: "The delivery can be made this week.

"We talked about the price before, 500 pounds.

"The manufacturing process and formula of the bullets are 100 pounds. You can also order bullets, 1 pound per bullet."

Klein operated the "world" and said in a hoarse voice: "I want to buy the manufacturing process of the bullets."

In a few words, the two people reached a deal.

After a few seconds of silence in the hall, the transaction ended and the party entered the free exchange phase.

"Justice" Audrey looked around and smiled first: "Last week, an interesting case happened in Backlund. The protagonist was called the thief "Black Emperor."

"The Hanged Man" Alger and "Magician" Fors immediately looked at "Justice" and expressed their concern about the case with their eyes.

Alger was very concerned because he just learned that the card in Mr. Fool's hand was actually the "Black Emperor" card.

And Fors was living in Backlund and knew a little about the inside story. He also guessed that it was related to the Tarot Club, so he paid close attention to it.

Audrey paused and continued, "The victim was the wealthy Capin. It was rumored that he was the largest human trafficker in Backlund. The thief 'Black Emperor' sneaked into his villa, took his life, and rescued many innocent girls imprisoned in the dungeon.

"When Capin's body was found, it was covered with a deck of tarot cards, with the faces of 'Judgement' and 'Emperor'. It is said that the 'Hermit' card fell out alone and was also quite obvious. "

Human trafficker? Alger keenly caught this phrase, and then he turned to the head of the bronze table and asked in a humble tone: "Mr. Fool, is Capin related to the disappearance of colonial slaves? "

Investigating the disappearance of colonial slaves is a task assigned to him by the Church of Storms. Previously, he had exchanged some valuable information with the "Hermit" at the Tarot Club, but no valuable clues were found since then.

Klein was stunned for a moment before he reacted. He was just thinking about the "Hermit" card. When he was at the scene, he didn't pay much attention to this matter.

But after what "Justice" said just now, the inspiration of a "Fortune Teller" made him suddenly realize that the "Hermit" card might be a spiritual hint.

But he didn't figure out what the hint was for a while.

The first thing Klein thought of was the meaning of this Tarot card. The image of the Hermit card was an old man in a robe and a hood. He held a lantern in one hand and a wooden stick as a cane in the other.

This card means solitude and meditation, using knowledge and wisdom to illuminate the way forward for those who are lost.

But Klein didn't figure out for a moment whether this was a reminder for himself to be "alone" or someone was "illuminating the way forward" for him?

Another more direct hint might be that the member of the Tarot Club, the "Hermit", "The Hermit" was also at the scene?

But Klein had already determined that the masked young man was Mr. Gal, the boss behind the "Nanmu Ballroom". The

"Hidden One" seemed to be running a herbal medicine store. The two people had completely different temperaments, and no common points had been found so far.

At this time, Klein thought that he could try to check the "Hidden One", and perhaps he would know the meaning of the "Hidden One" card that suddenly popped up.

Just as Klein was thinking about how to check, Alger's question brought him back to his senses.

He had already thought about this before. The Beyonder bodyguards in the Capin Villa were very abnormal in terms of both the path and the sequence.

At that time, he recalled the disappearance of slaves in the colony mentioned by the "Hanged Man", and the disappearance of the Backlund homeless mentioned by the "Hidden One", and vaguely felt that there should be some internal connection between these things.

But Klein couldn't be sure of his guess, so he could only skip the "Hanged Man" question directly, chuckled and said: "My followers made some insignificant contributions in this matter. "

Sure enough!" Audrey cheered in her heart.

Fors also sighed in her heart: This is the first time I have encountered something related to the Tarot Club in reality.

Alger believed that Mr. Fool's words were telling him that Kapin, the human trafficker, was definitely not a simple person, otherwise Mr. Fool would not have let a follower take action.

Odysseus accidentally saw Alger's somewhat awed expression, and he thought to himself: "Who knows what the anti-political commissar is thinking about again?"

Then, Klein added leisurely: "He gained three extraordinary characteristics in this matter, and hopes to sell them as soon as possible.

"Three characteristics, one corresponding to Sequence 8's 'Sheriff', one corresponding to Sequence 7's 'Interrogator', and one corresponding to Sequence 6's 'Judge'."

Odysseus suddenly thought: He was busy doing research last week and forgot to check the spoils of the battle with Kapin.

He planned to take it out and take a look after the Tarot Club.

Mr. Fool's follower is very strong. He defeated three Beyonders alone, one of whom is Sequence 6! The domain name of this website has been changed to (www.xiaoshubao.net). Please remember.

Alger thought: "Sheriff" "Interrogator"... Isn't this the "Arbitrator" path mastered by the Augustus family?

At this time, he felt more and more that the disappearance of slaves was not simple.

Of course, Klein deliberately used the levels and paths of these Beyonder characteristics to divert the attention of other members, making his words seem to provide clues for other members, and the focus was not on selling Beyonder characteristics. At this

time, Fors asked: "I heard that the 'Judgment' card and 'Emperor' card that appeared at the scene represent the trial of Kapin by the thief 'Black Emperor', but why is there a 'Hermit' card at the scene? I also heard that there are other people at the scene besides the thief."

This card did appear a little strange, so everyone unconsciously turned their eyes to the Tarot Club member "Hermit".

Odysseus smiled and said, "Maybe the Hermit can answer your questions."

Without waiting for Fors to speak, Odysseus continued, "I know who the other person at the scene is."

That was himself, but he had no intention of revealing his identity now. Instead, he said, "It's not just the Rogue who found out Kapin's crime and punished the human trafficker.

"In Beclad, there were also righteous people who found out about Kapin from the disappearance of the homeless man and had a conflict with him.

"And coincidentally, the Rogue also punished Kapin on that day, so the two righteous people joined forces to deal with Kapin and his accomplices."

After hearing this, Klein almost dispelled his previous suspicion that the Hermit was Mr. Gal. He clearly remembered that two weeks ago, the Hermit said that when he got the news about the unusual disappearance of the homeless man, some of his friends had already started an investigation. At

that time, it was said that four people received the investigation mission, and it was emphasized that the professions of the four people were very different, which emphasized the unusualness of this investigation.

It is impossible for the Hermit to lie about the Kapin incident ten days in advance, so the description at that time is very credible. It should be that the Hermit's friend found Kapin.

And that friend is Mr. Gal?

Audrey recalled: "I remember that the newspaper said that in the evening of that day, someone saw a masked young man rushing into Kapin's villa and clashed with Kapin's subordinates!"

Odysseus smiled slightly: "I'm talking about him."

Fors sighed: "I didn't expect this incident to be so complicated."

Audrey said: "I don't think it's complicated. It's just that the righteous people happened to join forces to kill a villain."

Fors nodded in agreement, and then asked Klein, the Fool: "Mr. Fool, how much does your Favored One intend to sell the trait of the 'Sheriff'?"

Odysseus breathed a sigh of relief, and finally he could divert everyone's attention.

"600 pounds." After quoting the price, Klein immediately changed the subject to show that he didn't care about the Beyonder trait of the Sequence 8 level.

He materialized a few pieces of parchment and said, "This is the meaning of some of Roselle's secret symbols. It is free knowledge so that you can better collect diaries."

Because in the diary provided by the Hanged Man today, there is a page that was forged by forcing Chinese characters together.

Audrey and others were very surprised. They didn't expect that there would be such a harvest at the end of this party.

Odysseus had to pretend to memorize it by heart.

After everyone basically completed the memory process, Audrey said again: "Everyone, when the Extraordinary Organization actively invites someone to join, if that person does not join, will the Extraordinary Organization hunt that person down?"

Klein behind the gray fog was slightly stunned: "Justice" is going to join what organization?

Odysseus immediately thought that this was because "Justice" met "Lelouch" and had this question.

He smiled helplessly: Why are you talking about me again?

Alger replied: "Such a situation rarely occurs. After all, Extraordinary Organizations will not recruit people publicly. Generally, Extraordinary Organizations conduct inspections quietly and send invitations when they feel that this person is suitable.

"Few people will refuse to join Extraordinary Organizations. After all, for many Extraordinary people, joining an organization means that they have a guarantee and can have more opportunities for promotion.

"If an extraordinary person is hunted down for not joining an extraordinary organization, it is either because he discovered the extraordinary organization's investigation of him and disdained to join, so he angered the members of that organization. Or he knew the secret of the extraordinary organization and would be killed if he did not join."

Odysseus thought for a while: "Lelouch" should belong to the former.

Audrey also had a similar judgment. She had some new fantasies about "Lelouch": "I understand, thank you for your answer."

Several people communicated for a while, and Klein announced the end of this Tarot Club.

...

The Forsaken Land of God, Silver City.

After Derrick returned to the real world, he immediately used the bestowed ritual to obtain the "All Black Eye".

At the same time, he received instructions from Mr. Fool: "Don't touch it directly."

After Derrick thanked Mr. Fool, he had just built the "Spiritual Wall" and put away the "All Black Eye" when he heard a "dong dong dong" knock on the door.

He asked: "Who?"

"I, Dake, the exploration team has been released from quarantine, I will share with you our experience of exploring the temple." The domain name of this site has been changed toDak was Derrick's classmate when he was receiving general education, and later became a teammate of the patrol team.

But after returning from the exploration of the half-ruined temple of the "Fallen Creator", Dak lost his previous enthusiasm and cheerfulness, and became very deep, just smiling at everyone.

Derrick was a little strange: Why did he come to me suddenly?

Suddenly, he thought of a possibility: Elder Lovia knew that I suspected that they had mutated, so Dak came to test me?

Then Derrick thought again, this is a good opportunity to clear the suspicion!

After a little excitement, Derrick became a little nervous. After all, this was the first time he implemented his plan, and he didn't know if it would succeed.

Taking a deep breath, Derrick calmed his mind, then walked quickly to the door and opened it.

What came into view was a slightly fat boy with a bright smile: "Has your isolation been lifted?"

As he spoke, he stepped aside to let Dak in, but he didn't dare to expose his back in front of this classmate and teammate.

"Yes." Dak walked to the table and sat down: "Didn't you say before that you really wanted to know about our exploration experience this time?"

Derrick said "hmm", and he suddenly didn't want to know so much.

Dak raised his mouth: "We found some strange plants at the bottom of the temple. They look like the mushrooms recorded in the general education class. They are very bright and make people full of appetite at a glance.

"It has been confirmed that they can be eaten directly."

As he spoke, he took out a bright red mushroom from a small cloth bag.

Just seeing it, Derrick couldn't help swallowing his saliva, as if he had been hungry for several days.

Dak said enthusiastically: "I'll give you one."

"Okay, okay..." Derrick reached out and took it. He tried his best to be patient and didn't put it in his mouth on the spot.

He tried to restrain himself: "I'll try it tomorrow."

At the same time, he warned himself in his heart that he couldn't eat it! If he ate it, it might be contaminated by the "Fallen Creator"!

Derrick changed the subject with difficulty: "Did you find anything in this exploration?"

"Yes! "Dak immediately said: "We found some murals..."

Derrick felt himself in a trance, as if he couldn't control himself from picking up the mushroom and swallowing it. He realized that he had to do something to get out of his current situation.

Thinking of this, he regained some of his sanity, recalled his previous plan, and then said to Dak: "I'll pour you a glass of water."

Dak didn't say anything, just nodded.

Derrick stood up, deliberately slowed down his movements while pouring the water, lowered his head, and recited the honorific name of Mr. Fool: "The Fool who does not belong to this era...

"Your loyal servant asks for your attention;

"I pray that you accept his offering;

"I pray that you open the door to the kingdom."

A strong wind suddenly blew in the room, and Dak looked at Derrick suddenly: "What happened?"

Derrick did not answer, picked up the "Hurricane Axe" in one hand, and reached into his pocket with the other hand to remove the "Spiritual Wall" of the "All-Black Eye".

Faint whispers and a sense of evil and depravity began to spread outward. Dak's expression suddenly became gloomy, and the thin blood vessels in his blue eyes bulged one by one.

At this time, the bright mushrooms on the table no longer made people feel appetizing, and suddenly turned into a blood-stained scalp with short black hair.

Derrick thought that he almost swallowed the "mushroom" just now, and suddenly he had the urge to vomit. He resisted the churning of his stomach and sang: "God, please bring the holy light here, let your believers gain courage, dispel the enemies, and dispel all evil."

The song was warm and sacred, allowing Derrick to bathe in the sun, and the discomfort in his body immediately disappeared.

Dak blocked the sun with his hands, staring at the position of the "All Black Eye" and kept asking: "What is on you? What is on you..."

Suddenly, Dak's flesh and blood were stretched open, and strips of meat were waving, making Dak look like a bloody hedgehog.

Derrick raised his arm and swung the "Hurricane Axe" that he had been holding for a long time, chopping it on Dake's head.

Dake still stared at the position of the "Eye of Blackness", screaming, but his eyes were unwilling to move away.

At this time, the "Fool" responded and opened the illusory door with many strange patterns.

The shadow in the room suddenly extended over and shouted to Derrick: "Stop! What are you going to do!"

He felt the power of the illusory door, but he could not stop anything.

Derrick took this opportunity to throw the "Eye of Blackness" at the illusory door. As the "Eye of Blackness" disappeared, the door covered with strange symbols and signs closed with a "bang" and disappeared quickly.

Then, Derrick began his performance, deliberately twisting the muscles of his face and coughing violently. He coughed so hard that he covered his mouth with his hands and fell to the ground.

The shadow in the room first quickly controlled Dak, who had turned into a monster, and then tried to cover Derrick. At this moment, Derrick "fainted" and a strange little bug with twelve transparent rings appeared in the palm of his hand.

Klein nodded slowly above the gray fog and gave a high score to the performance of "Little Sun". It seemed that most of the suspicion on him could be cleared.

Thinking of this, Klein retracted his sight.

...

Backlund, No. 51 Henry Street, the backyard of Gal Herb Shop.

Odysseus returned to the real world. He sat quietly for a while, using his spiritual perception to see that there was no sight here, and then he took out the portableHe used a magic circle to take out the gloves and extraordinary characteristics seized from the battle of Kapin from the "Wild Knowledge". The domain name of this website has been changed to (www.xiaoshubao.net). Please remember.

He touched the black glove with his hand and injected spirituality into it, allowing him to immediately feel the level of the glove.

When dividing the spoils, his spiritual perception was indeed very accurate. This glove was actually at the level of Sequence 5, but Odysseus's level was too low to determine the ability and negative effects of the glove.

Because this glove could not be used in Backlund at all, after roughly knowing the level of the glove, he put it back.

As for the extraordinary characteristic, it was a Sequence 7 "Interrogator" characteristic.

At present, I dare not use this characteristic, so I'd better put it away for now. After putting away

the spoils, Odysseus smiled slightly and thought to himself: I actually got the advantage of the "Fool".

Just the Sequence 5 glove is more valuable than the three extraordinary characteristics taken by the Fool.

Buzz, buzz, buzz~

A headache-inducing noise suddenly appeared in Odysseus' mind, making him feel dizzy. He quickly reached out to hold the table.

Fortunately, this uncomfortable feeling passed in a second or two, and the dizziness quickly disappeared. It seemed that there were more messy, strange, and incomprehensible things in his mind!

Knowledge chasing people!

Odysseus felt the pain brought by "knowledge chasing people" for the first time. No wonder "Star Admiral" Cattleya was almost out of control. She was so uncomfortable at Sequence 8. If she was Sequence 5, wouldn't her head explode?

But now is not the time to think about this. Odysseus is still very busy this afternoon. He went to the basement, put on Mr. Gal's clothes, and then went to the third floor of the "Nanmu Ballroom" through the "teleportation array" in the basement.

Ms. Mandy had been waiting outside. When she saw Odysseus wearing a mask, she immediately said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Gal, it was my negligence at work that prevented me from..."

Odysseus raised his hand and interrupted her: "Is the carriage ready?"

"Ready!" Mandy said immediately.

Odysseus said nothing more and walked downstairs quickly, and Mandy followed him immediately.

After getting on the luxury carriage, Mandy asked, "Mr. Gall, where are we going?"

Odysseus said, "Chewwood District, No. 15 Minsk Street."

Regardless of whether Klein knew that Mr. Gall was the "Hidden One", going directly to his door would definitely catch him off guard, and it was also the best response strategy at the moment.

Mandy's eyes narrowed. She had not had time to report the address of the private detective to Mr. Gall, but Mr. Gall already knew it!

But then, Mandy returned to normal. As she had expected before, Mr. Gall could not have only her as an intelligence channel.

...

Chewwood District, No. 15 Minsk Street.

Klein first watched "Little Sun" clear his suspicion, and then returned to the real world to continue studying "The Book of Secrets".

Dingling dingling~

At about 4:30, Klein suddenly heard the doorbell.

He quickly came to the first floor, and the moment he held the door handle, the situation outside the door appeared in his mind.

Outside the door was a young man wearing a mask and a black windbreaker...

Mr. Gal!

Klein couldn't help but take a step back. He had been looking for Mr. Gal for two days without any clues, but he just appeared outside the door.

At this time, Mr. Gal outside said, "I know you are inside, open the door."

Klein suddenly had that brainwashing rhythm in his mind:... Don't hide inside and keep silent, I know you are home, open the door, open the door, open the door, you have the ability...

cough cough.

Klein cleared his throat and stretched out his hand to open the door. In addition to Mr. Gal, there was also Ms. Mandy.

"Mr. Gal." Klein smiled and pretended to be a little surprised: "Why are you here?"

Odysseus said, "Let's go in and talk?"

"Please come in." Klein asked them to sit on the sofa in the living room, and then went to make tea for them.

As soon as Odysseus sat down, he smiled meaningfully and said, "Mr. Detective, is the cigar I gave you last time good?"

Klein smiled helplessly. When he accepted the commission of reporter Mike to protect the reporter of the Daily Observer and negotiated with Mr. Gal, Mr. Gal knocked him while giving him a cigar.

Mr. Gal mentioned this matter at this time, which was obviously quite meaningful.

Klein added hot water and walked to the coffee table with a teacup: "It's okay, it tastes good."

Odysseus nodded slowly: "Let's talk about business. About last year, Yasiborn came to the Nanmu Dance Hall for the first time and was quickly attracted by the business model and revenue of the dance hall.

"Later, we had two pleasant exchanges. He hoped to use the police and a certain congressman to put pressure on me to close the Nanmu Dance Hall, and then buy the dance hall at a low price. "

As a result, both operations were disrupted by me. Since then, he has been looking for my whereabouts.

"I think he must want to visit me and express his apology for the two previous bastard behaviors.

"But I can't stand seeing people apologize, and of course for his safety, I didn't tell him where I live."

Klein twitched his lips: "Happy communication"! This irony is too obvious! It's true that the lord's life is not guaranteed at this time. The domain name of this site has been changed toWhen Klein saw Mr. Gar coming to him, he knew that he must have known about the commission he had received.

He simply said, "I didn't plan to hand over the results of the investigation to the employer. In fact, I accepted the commission out of curiosity about you, but I haven't found any useful information so far."

Odysseus smiled and said, "Mr. Detective, curiosity is not a good thing sometimes."

Then he stood up and said, "I think tomorrow, Asibourne will send someone to cancel the commission. I'm sorry that you lost a business."

Klein realized that Mr. Gar was going to take action: "It doesn't matter. The deposit will not be returned to him."

He smiled slightly. He had already received a deposit of 10 pounds.

Odysseus came to the window and looked at the thick fog outside. He suddenly said, "In this kind of weather, it is easy to catch fire. I heard that Asibourne's fire-fighting equipment has been outdated for a long time."

Klein was stunned: it was foggy outside, not dry weather.

He said, "I hope no innocent people will die in the fire."

"Probably not." Odysseus retracted his gaze from the window and looked at Klein deeply: "It's getting late, so we'll say goodbye. I'll write to you if I need anything in the future."

Klein smiled and said, "I look forward to your care."

After watching Mr. Gal get on the luxurious carriage, Klein sighed and thought: Mr. Gal felt that I had no ill intentions, so he warned me by "forewarning" that the Asiborn family would catch fire tonight. Haha, it seems that the Backlund Fire Department will be busy tonight.

Thinking of this, he smiled and shook his head: Why doesn't Mr. Gal consider bribing me with money? I'm easy to talk to in front of the gold pound.

...

On the return carriage, Odysseus told Mandy: "If Asiborn sends someone to find you tomorrow, don't see him.

"Wait until he comes to you himself, then you can see him.

"If his gift can impress you, this matter ends here, but you still have to keep a close eye on this lord in the future."

If Asiborn still has any ideas about the "Nanmu Ballroom", Odysseus will have to kill him.

But generally speaking, he is unwilling to go this far. After all, killing a lord in Backlund will cause a huge sensation.

Mandy nodded and said, "I will grasp the scale."

Odysseus just said "hmm" and said nothing more.

He first took a carriage to the "Nanmu Ballroom" and then used the teleportation array to return to the herbal medicine store.

In the backyard of the herbal medicine store, Odysseus began to select extraordinary weapons. He planned to do it himself tonight.

In the past, similar things were entrusted to some extraordinary mercenaries, but after Odysseus was promoted, he also had good combat power, so he planned to set a fire himself.

Odysseus was very clear about the bodyguard strength of Asiborn's family. This millionaire hired more than a dozen bodyguards, including one Sequence 8 and two Sequence 9 extraordinary people.

In the case of a sneak attack, with the blessing of extraordinary weapons, Odysseus was very confident.

The weapons used by the "leader" and "Lelouch" before, of course, "Mr. Gal" could not use them. In the end, he chose a rifle and a sword, took out the stock of 4 "extraordinary incendiary bombs", and made 6 new "extraordinary incendiary bombs" by himself.

After making all these preparations, Odysseus sold medicine at the front desk as usual. As

usual, Odysseus asked the clerk Kaina to leave first, and told him that he had something to do tomorrow morning, so he asked the clerk to deal with several herbs to be processed.

Odysseus took a short rest, locked the door, and took a carriage home.

He didn't know whether the "mechanical heart" would symbolically monitor him after the Kapin case, so when he got home, he pretended to read a book for a while, drank a cup of hot water, and then went back to the bedroom to turn off the lights and go to bed. After

drawing the curtains, Odysseus simply arranged his bed for sleeping, and then quietly went to the basement.

Odysseus first disguised himself. Of course, he couldn't use the identities he had "made up" to do such arson. He pasted a beard on himself and wore a long-brimmed cap, which he pulled down very low.

Although this look looked a bit suspicious, it was basically impossible to tell what Odysseus really looked like.

Then, Odysseus put on a dark knight's suit and a loose gray coat. Finally, he used the space array connected to the "Wild Knowledge" to take out the extraordinary weapons he had prepared long ago and carried them in a long cloth bag.

In the basement of No. 77 Hailin Avenue, there are also two "teleportation arrays".

One of the arrays leads to his base rented in a dilapidated apartment building. This array is the first time it has been used.

The other array was originally intended to go to No. 176 Hewan Avenue, but recently Odysseus planned to secretly operate a new base, so the array has not marked a target yet.

After checking his belongings again, Odysseus left home through the teleportation array and quietly jumped out of the window of the apartment building. Under the cover of night, he quickly walked through three or four streets before taking a rented carriage to the street where Asiborn lived.

Many wealthy people and officials lived on this street. There were bright street lights, and the police would also focus on patrolling on such streets. The domain name of this website has been changed to (www.xiaoshubao.net). Please remember.

In order not to attract the attention of the patrol police, Odysseus has been using the alleys on the street to avoid the patrol police who occasionally appeared.

When he came to the wall of Asiborn's house, Odysseus did not break in immediately, but observed the surrounding terrain and came to the villa on the left side of Asiborn's house.
