Mystery: A Spark

"Immortal."

Azik looked up at Arthur and said:

“I remember some things; I spent a long time in this phase.”

"Congratulations on regaining some of your memories. It seems you must have been a very powerful extraordinary being in the past."

Arthur said with a smile.

For someone like Mr. Azik, regaining his memories is, in a sense, equivalent to regaining his power.

And after regaining their strength...

“Mr. Azik, now that you have regained some of your memories, I shall take my leave.”

Arthur stood up with a smile.

He tapped the half-smoked cigar twice on the wooden ashtray on the low table in front of the sofa.

Fine bits of cigar ash immediately fell off the cigar and scattered all over the bottom of the ashtray.

Azik's eyes flickered for a moment, then he smiled and said:

"Hehe, thank you very much for your help this time. If you need any help, please let me know."

"must."

Just as he was about to leave, Arthur seemed to suddenly remember something and asked:

"By the way, Mr. Azik, where did you buy this cigar? I think it tastes quite good."

"Do you like it? If you do, I can give you a few boxes. I have some left here."

"Hehe, I don't need several boxes, one box is enough. I'm just trying it out."

Then Arthur left with a box of cigars given to him by Mr. Azik.

Azik stood at the door, calmly watching Arthur's departing figure.

After a while, he closed the door and turned to walk into the living room.

Azik walked over to the sofa, his gaze sweeping over the spot where Arthur had been sitting before settling on an ashtray.

The cigar had just been tapped twice by Arthur, causing ash to scatter all over the bottom of the ashtray.

Azik waved his hand lightly, and the cigar ash at the bottom of the ashtray automatically scattered to both sides.

The bottom of the ashtray, which was originally empty, now has several lines of fine text.

Azik stared at the words silently for a long time without making a move.

Chapter 82 You Take, I Take

Tuesday morning, Blackthorn Security Company.

Klein was a little bored and stayed in the recreation room, playing cards with his colleagues.

Just a few days ago, he received the investigation report on the Red Chimney House from the three detectives he had previously hired.

However, after several days of searching and spending a considerable amount on transportation, he still hadn't found the red chimney mentioned in the divination.

What upset him the most was that he couldn't get reimbursed for the travel expenses.

However, there is some good news as well.

Just yesterday at the Tarot meeting, the three-way deal between him, Miss Justice, and Little Sun was officially completed.

He received three hundred pounds as compensation from Miss Justice, while the compensation he owed to Little Sun was accumulated by the boy.

This means that Klein essentially got 300 gold pounds for free.

In addition, during the exchange among several members at yesterday's Tarot meeting, Klein also learned about the sacrificial ritual of their Silver City from Little Sun.

This gave Klein an idea.

He wanted to see if he could use sacrifice and bestowal rituals to send items above the gray fog and then give them to others.

However, to achieve this goal, he would need to consult Mr. Azik for more details about the ceremony.

While Klein was playing cards with his colleagues, another piece of good news arrived.

That is, the night watchmen received news that the town of Morse was haunted.

The moment he heard the news, Klein knew it was something he had asked Mr. Azik to do.

His purpose was to get the Night Watchman to produce the "Mutated Sun Emblem" again, so that he could make a Sunfire Talisman for self-defense.

Although it was a bit strange that two ghost stories occurred in just a few days, there were no civilian casualties because they were just ghost stories.

So the Night Watchers didn't pay much attention, and simply sent Leonard, Klein, and Cohen to deal with the sealed artifact "3-0782".

So Klein left the recreation room, put on his tuxedo, grabbed his hat and cane, and waited with Leonard at the top of the stairs leading underground for Cohen.

At that moment, Leonard suddenly turned to look at Klein and said:

"I think you'd better give up your unrealistic fantasies."

Klein: ?

Leonard stepped forward and said:

"Even during a mission, you will never discover my secrets or understand what makes me special."

"Besides Anduin..." he silently added in his mind.

To this day, Leonard still doesn't understand how Anduin discovered the teacher inside him.

Yes, after helping Anduin deal with the evil god's offspring that day, Leonard became the disciple of the old man inside him.

When asked, the old man said he didn't know how he was discovered, only that it might be due to the special nature of those favored by the gods.

"Ha, how can you be so sure that my special abilities won't allow me to discover your secrets?" Klein was initially amused and exasperated by Leonard's narcissism, but then stubbornly retorted.

Leonard's expression first turned serious, but then he smiled and said:

"Is that so? Then I'll await your discovery."

He felt that it was understandable that Anduin was able to find the old man; after all, he was a chosen one of the gods and must have something special about him.

But even if Klein had many secrets, he couldn't possibly discover this old man, since this man was at least a demigod.

Unless Klein is also a chosen one of the gods, but how could that be?

......

After this little incident, Klein and his two companions set off in a carriage.

After arriving in the town, the three of them easily dealt with the paranormal events caused by Mr. Azik.

During their break, Klein suggested that the three of them take turns guarding the sealed artifact.

After entering the church, he waited cautiously for more than ten minutes before beginning the ceremony to make the Yangyan talisman.

Leonard and Cohen waited outside, somewhat bored.

At that moment, a familiar voice reached Leonard's ears:

"Long time no see, Mr. Leonard."

Leonard turned around and saw a familiar blond youth. He immediately smiled warmly and said:

"Anduin, it's been a long time. What brings you here?"

"I was bored, so I came here to take a stroll," Arthur said with a smile as he walked forward.

"This...could he be...?" Seeing Leonard's performance, Cohen Lee had a rough idea of ​​the young man's identity.

He had heard before that Old Neil had almost lost control, but was fortunately reminded by a passing extraordinary being, and the Night Watchman saved Old Neil.

However, due to Klein's suggestion, Leonard did not reveal much information, so Cohen Lee was not very clear about the specifics of that extraordinary individual.

“Yes, this is… uh… our friend, yes, friend.” Leonard has recently matured a bit under Palles’s tutelage.

Therefore, he did not provide a detailed introduction, but only hinted that this person was one of his own.

Cohen understood and didn't ask any more questions.

At this moment, Klein, who had finished his little scheme inside the church and made two Yangyan talismans, also came out.

As soon as I stepped outside, I saw Mr. "Chariot" and his two teammates chatting and laughing.

"Mr. Chariot" is so popular everywhere," Klein chuckled to himself.

He stepped forward and greeted Mr. "Chariot".

Leonard also gave Klein a brief introduction, but Klein, who knew "Mr. Chariot" better, didn't ask any further questions.

However, using Anduin as a pseudonym is indeed a bit... well, although he does look quite convincing... Klein couldn't help but mutter to himself.

He had met this fellow villager a few times in real life before, so they were somewhat familiar with each other.

At that time, he felt that the pseudonym "Anduin" was quite something to complain about.

Because he had just performed a ritual and his spiritual energy was quite depleted, Klein did not intend to participate in the conversation between his fellow villagers and Leonard.

He first handed the mutated Sun Emblem to Leonard, then excused himself to rest and slipped away.

Arthur and Leonard walked into the church together.

Although Cohen saw this scene, he pretended not to see it.

After entering the church, Leonard handed the Sun Emblem to Arthur and asked with a smile:

"You came here for this, right?"

"Tsk tsk, you've learned your lesson, haven't you? The old man's teaching has yielded good results these past few days." Arthur made no attempt to hide his feelings and accepted the mutated Sun Emblem.

"Heh, this kid has made some progress, I suppose," Pales's aged voice rang out.

Leonard didn't refute it, but asked curiously, "What do you need this thing for?"

Arthur smiled mysteriously and said:

"Of course, we should make good things."
