Mystery: Big Alarm Clock Ghroth Path

Chapter 76 Hurricane Vice Admiral Qilingos (Thanks to Hermus Porlayatli for the Qidian Coins)

At this moment, Alger felt like a child who had accidentally strayed into a restricted area for adults, his mind full of all kinds of speculations.

Just as he was trying to suppress these unfounded thoughts, Miss Justice across from him spoke again:
"Mr. Hanged Man, Mr. Wheel of Fortune, you just mentioned the Aurora Society. Could it be that Mr. A is a member of the Aurora Society?"

"I think it would be better for Mr. 'Wheel of Fortune' to answer this question."

Alger shook his head and consciously kicked the ball to Roger.

"Yes, he's a Sequence 5 Beyonder. I can't say anything more."

After hearing the answer from Wheel of Fortune, Audrey felt that her guess was confirmed, so she nodded and stopped asking questions.

On the other hand, she also secretly reminded herself that she should be more careful when attending similar gatherings in the future, because it is inevitable that she will encounter people from certain dangerous organizations.

"Oh right, Mr. Fool, Mr. Wheel of Fortune."

Alger thought for a moment, then hesitated before speaking again, but this time he subconsciously said both of their names at the same time:

"I've received intelligence that Vice Admiral Hurricane Qilingos has secretly infiltrated Backlund.

"He's a Sequence 6 Wind-Blessed One of the Sailor Path, and possesses a powerful magical item...

"What I want to ask is, can I ask your followers or subordinates to deal with him when necessary? I will do my best to provide a reward that you are interested in."

After saying this, he looked at Justice Audrey Hall again:

"At the same time, I'd like to ask Miss Justice to use your connections to obtain information about Qilingos. I'll also pay for it... But please remember, you can't attack him or have close contact with him. Otherwise, you will definitely die."

Audrey finally came to her senses.

She had heard of the name of Vice Admiral Hurricane, one of the seven pirate generals, with a bounty of 10000 gold pounds!

"Okay, I will definitely be careful. Thank you for your reminder, Mr. Hanged Man."

In response to Alger's request, Mr. Fool said unobtrusively:
"The premise is that my beloved happens to be in Backlund."

"Wheel of Fortune" Roger nodded:
"I'll think of a way...if Mr. Fool's followers don't have any plans to go to Backlund soon."

Is this an act of deliberately concealing his relationship with Mr. Fool?
Alger was speculating in his mind, but at this moment, the heavy stone in his heart had fallen to the ground.

Regardless of whether the Wheel of Fortune was Mr. Fool's favored one, with his promise, Qilingos was doomed.

Not for any other reason, just because no one dares to lie to the gods!

If he could say in front of Mr. Fool that Mr. A was his subordinate, it meant that he definitely had the ability to deal with Vice Admiral Hurricane Qilingos, who was only at Sequence 6!
"I just hope that before that, Qilingos doesn't get into any serious trouble..."

To be on the safe side, Alger also shared information about the mysterious item "Creeping Hunger" that Qilingos possessed with everyone present.

It corresponds to Sequence 5 of the "Mystic Prayer" pathway, "Shepherd," which allows one to use the abilities of Beyonders in their lifetime by shepherding their souls.

In this regard, Derrick Berg, the "Sun", knows a lot of information, because Ms. Lovia, one of the elders of the "Six-member Council" of Silver City, is a "shepherd".

Klein had heard Derrick talk about the abilities of this "shepherd." It was said that she was even capable of fighting against Sequence 4 warriors...

"Which path did the shepherd come from, and what is his sequence?"

Audrey was listening intently, and she asked.

"'Secret Prayer Path', Sequence 5."

Klein seized the opportunity and made a subtle nod.

Although he had only just learned this news from Derrick...

"Mr. Wheel of Fortune, could this object have come from the Aurora Society?"

Alger considered his tone and looked at Roger again.

This is a hint, meaning that if Roger can take action, he can also recover the item, which is the best of both worlds.

"Maybe."

Roger naturally understood what the other party meant, but he just smiled and did not comment.

At the end of the meeting, Alger, with the help of Klein the Fool, materialized a portrait of Qilingos as a reference. "That's all for today."

After finishing his business, Mr. Fool, who sat at the head of the long bronze table, announced the end of this "Tarot Club".

"Your will be obeyed."

Miss Justice, Mr. Hanged Man, and Wheel of Fortune stood up at the same time and saluted with their hands on their chests as if they were familiar with the procedure.

Mr. "The Sun" hurriedly imitated their movements, which made his salute a little slower.

The next moment, they transformed into three crimson and one rust-colored stars and returned to the gray fog.

……

Roger opened his eyes and saw his dim underground storage room again.

"It seems that Adam and George III's plans remain unchanged."

He confirmed it again.

In fact, Roger was well aware of Vice Admiral Hurricane Qilingos's purpose in infiltrating Backlund.

That is to assassinate Duke Negan on behalf of the "Twilight Hermits"!

Duke Negan was not only a top Conservative noble, but also the spokesperson for the interests of the Church of the Lord of Storms. His death would undoubtedly exacerbate the divisions among the upper echelons of the Kingdom of Loen and prompt the outbreak of war.

In the original novel, Audrey Hall would have discovered Qilingos at the ball, causing his assassination attempt to fail and he to escape.

On his way to escape, he will be intercepted and executed by Mr. Azik, ending his sinful life.

Because of this incident, Mr. Fool completely established his image as an omnipotent god in the Tarot Club.

So if nothing unexpected happens, Roger won't need to take any action this time, he can just sit back and reap the benefits.

"But this is too boring."

Roger smiled, then stood up and paced around, starting to think about his next plan.

……

The next morning, Klein arrived at the Blackthorn Security Company on time.

"Klein, you're finally here."

As soon as Luo Shan saw him, she stood up, as if she had been waiting for him for a long time.

"What's wrong?" Klein showed a puzzled expression. He subconsciously glanced at the wall clock to make sure he was not late.

"The captain asked you to go to the office."

"Ok."

Klein nodded. Although he was still a little puzzled, he didn't ask any further questions.

He walked quickly downstairs and came to Dunn Smith's office.

He knocked lightly on the door, but it was opened from the inside.

"Ms. Daly?" Klein was a little surprised when he saw who opened the door.

"Come in and talk." Daly turned aside and let Klein walk in.

"Captain, Ms. Daly, what happened?" He sat opposite Dunn and asked with some confusion.

"Is such that."

Daly laughed: "I came here specifically to say goodbye to you, and of course, to thank you."

"Goodbye? Where are you going? And why are you thanking me?"

Klein felt increasingly bewildered.
