Mystery: A Spark

Then, the headless woman took a step back and disappeared.

Two seconds later, the door to the room opened, and Emlin looked in the direction of the sound and found Bishop Utravsky standing in the doorway.

“Old man, there was just a…” Emlyn started to speak, but was interrupted.

“I saw it, I was just outside.”

"Then...why didn't you come in then?" Emlyn asked, somewhat bewildered.

Bishop Utravsky paused for two seconds, then said:

"Because I am no match for Him."

"Moreover, He had no ill intentions."

Emlyn: ...

You old man, you're really honest.

"Do other churches allow messengers to come and go as they do?" Emlyn couldn't help but ask.

“No, they each have their own methods to protect their core areas, usually a continuation of methods for storing dangerous sealed objects, while we do not yet have that ability, nor do we have any dangerous sealed objects,” Bishop Utravsky replied calmly.

That makes sense. What's the point of a prison if there aren't even any prisoners? No wonder that mysterious messenger just walked right in without any security measures... He probably only realized it was a church after he got in. Sigh, catching up with the three major churches is a long and arduous journey... Emlyn sighed inwardly.

But he quickly realized something was wrong, because...

I'm not a member of the Church of the Earth Mother, why should I worry about this... Emlyn coughed lightly and looked at Benson, asking:

"Who sent you this letter?"

"Uh, it's a friend of mine." Benson naturally couldn't tell the truth.

"Oh, I didn't expect you to have such a capable friend." Emlyn didn't investigate further and believed him immediately.

"I didn't know he could summon such a powerful messenger. This is the first time I've received a letter from him." Benson looked at the envelope in his hand with a complicated expression.

Judging from Emlyn and the bishop's reactions, the messenger was clearly no ordinary person.

The fact that Klein was able to contract with the other party to act as a messenger shows that Klein has already come a long way in the extraordinary world.

At the same time, it will inevitably face a more dangerous situation.

You must come back safely, Klein. Melissa and I can't bear to lose you a second time... Benson sighed and put the letter into his pocket.

……

Golden Dream.

After settling the members of the dragon-slaying team, Arthur took Arthas back to the room Edwina had prepared for him.

Arthur sat down at the desk, crossed his arms, and rested his chin on his hand, lost in thought.

To solve the problems facing Grosser and his group, it is necessary to use the Time Worms to collect time.

Of course, Arthur also knew that Pales would likely reserve some of the time, which was something the two of them tacitly understood.

After all, what middleman doesn't make a profit?

If we rely solely on the compensation period to restore these individuals to normal, then the combined lifespan required would likely be tens of thousands of years.

Even when hunting vampires who worship the "primordial moon," one would have to kill dozens to meet the requirements.

But these guys aren't like the leeks in the ground; you can't just say you want dozens and expect to get dozens.

Therefore, it is essential to elevate Grosser and Shatas, two long-lived beings, to demigod status and restore a certain lifespan through the leap in their life form, while Pales has not yet recovered.

Failure to advance is another matter, but if he succeeds, Arthur will gain the solid friendship of two powerful demigods.

Furthermore, these two demigods currently have no allegiance, which means they can be won over, and Arthur has a natural advantage in this matter.

Grosser is a Guardian who can continue to advance to become a Witcher, or a Night's Watchman and an Undead.

The recipes, rituals, and even extraordinary traits of the "Demon Hunter" can be obtained through trading with Silver City.

As can be seen from the original work, Silver City had at least two "Demon Hunter" extraordinary traits that were not put to use.

This means that Silver City's real problem is a lack of people, not a lack of extraordinary traits.

Arthur had once made a deal with Silver City, exchanging a Demon Hunter arcane technique for a "Guardian" trait, which already established a foundation of trust.

So as long as the reward he offers meets Silver City's needs, then another round will definitely not be a problem.

As for the recipes for "Night Watch" and "Undead," they weren't particularly difficult for Arthur.

Since Inszangwill's soul is in Mr. Azik's hands, it has probably been completely drained. If Arthur wants it, he can make a deal with this big shot.

Moreover, he happens to have a "Night Watcher" trait in his possession.

Grosser's problem is not difficult to solve, and Shatas's problem is not much bigger either.

Although Arthur was unaware of the recipe and ritual of the High Priest of Calamity, he knew the recipe and ritual of the "Dark Ones" and the "Manipulators".

If he were even less afraid of death, he could go to the island where Adam slept and get the "Tyrant" card.

We can bring Snowman along on the way, and let the villagers meet his former followers. Who knows, Adam might be so happy that he'll give him the "Tyrant" plaque?

Wouldn't that be wonderful?

Of course, how to solve their problems depends on the actual situation.

Whether it's tricking Amon's clone to help Pales recover quickly, collecting time, or retrieving Amon's "ghost frame," all of these could be considered good methods.

……

It's Monday again, and the tarot reading will be held as scheduled.

After the crimson light before Arthur receded like a tide, he saw the familiar, magnificent palace.

And, there was an extra female figure on the opposite side.

After Audrey, the "Justice," finished her usual greetings, Mr. "Fool" introduced the new member.

"The Hermit".

Or rather, it was Cattleya, the "Star Admiral," who had previously interacted with Arthur.

Of all those affected by Cattleya's joining the guild, the one most affected was undoubtedly Alger the Hanged Man.

Because normally, he was the one who controlled the maritime channels within the entire Tarot Society.

Although Arthur also has access to sea routes, it's too limited and can't compare to a seasoned veteran like Alger.

However, Cattleya was different; her greater resources and access to more channels made her arouse Alger's extreme suspicion.

Of course, none of these things were shown.

After the members looked each other over, Audrey spoke first:

“Mr. Fool, I have obtained two copies of Russell’s diary.”

Because she was busy with various matters related to the Umbrella Corporation, she did not return to East Chestershire with her family, but remained in Backlund.

This allowed her to continue communicating with the Psychological Alchemy Society in order to obtain Russell's diary.

Upon hearing the word "diary," Cattleya was immediately shocked, and various thoughts raced through her mind.

“Mr. Fool, I also got three pages of the diary,” Fowles said at this moment.

After receiving the five pages of the diary and the legend of Silver City provided by Little Sun, Klein began to read them.

This surprised Cattleya again. She hadn't expected that this mysterious being could understand Roselle's diary, which even the Queen couldn't decipher.

Having learned quite a bit from the diary and myths, such as some information from Antigonus's Notebook and events from the Fourth Age, Klein put down the diary and began to speak:

"You guys start."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Emlyn eagerly brought up the deal with Alger, and immediately revealed that Alger had connections with the great pirate.

The great pirate… “The Hermit” Cattleya’s gaze swept over the “Hanged Man,” and she already had some guesses about his identity.

You didn't really need to go into so much detail... Alger stiffened slightly, but his expression remained unchanged as he replied to "the moon":

"Did you get the cash?"

“Of course!” Emlyn said, raising his head.

This is the plan he presented using the "chariot," the funding he obtained from Lord Nibais—no, it should be said that he secured it.

Hmm, that sounds much better.

The deal between Alger and Emlyn was quickly negotiated and settled.

Audrey also received a promise from "The World" to deliver the extraordinary properties of "Psychotherapist" as soon as possible.

£1,800 is in hand. Miss Justice never haggles... Klein muttered to himself with a touch of smug satisfaction.

He had promised Arthur that he would provide three fresh Sequence 6 corpses within three months. He originally thought it would take some effort to find them, but he didn't expect that he would kill two of them in less than a month.

One is "Iron" Maiviti, and the other is an unknown "Soul Soother" encountered in the ruins of Poseidon.

However, he did not choose to hand over either of the two Sequence 6 corpses to Arthur.

Because he was ambushed when he killed Maiviti, and needed to break out of the encirclement as soon as possible, he didn't have time to set up a sacrificial ritual. He could only use "wriggling hunger" to herd Maiviti in order to carry out the subsequent battle.

As for the "Requiem Master," he had become a monster after consuming too much of Kavituwa's flesh and blood, which made Klein afraid to give the corpse to Arthur.

Firstly, I'm afraid this cunning fellow, even more shrewd than a fox, will figure something out.

Secondly, not knowing what Arthur wanted to do with the corpse, they were worried that something might have happened to him.

Anyway, there are bound to be plenty of evildoers in Sequence 6 on the high seas, and these two won't make a difference, so Klein isn't worried about not being able to pay off his debts.

After the deal between Klein and Audrey was struck, Derrick looked at the "world" and said:

"Mr. World, recently, our Silver City has been trying to explore the road to the Giants' Court based on the information given by that little boy."

"Although there haven't been any results yet, the chief hunted down an ancient vengeful spirit during the exploration. Do you need its materials?"

“Yes, everything is needed. I’ll trade you the Notary’s Formula.” Klein answered without hesitation, manipulating the “world”.

Not only did he need the materials for his own use, but he had also promised Arthur to help him collect materials from ancient vengeful spirits.

"Deal!" Derrick said with some surprise.

He felt that today was his lucky day.

"Mr. World, would the cursed artifacts of the ancient vengeful spirits be of any use to you?" Fors asked at this moment.
