"1500 pounds, plus three more chances to have it made by a 'craftsman'!"
After quoting the price, Ellan immediately added, "I know this price is not high for you, but this mission is indeed very simple. It is to pretend to handle his daily affairs, meet different guests, and deal with his mistress without revealing any problems. He will be back in about two to three days. \Zero\point.墈/book* ¢Has been¢published~Publish\畞+薪/璋·结\"
Klein fell into thought: This price satisfied him quite a bit. The key point was that he could actually play the role of a "big shot", and it was a re-enactment of his role based on Hermann's performance. This would definitely help him digest the potion.
The only question is whether the admiral will really let bygones be bygones, or whether this is a trap?
"Give me the admiral's information. I need to think about it for a while." - I need to go above the gray fog to do some divination.
Ellan breathed a sigh of relief. "No problem. I'll be waiting for your good news at the Sweet Lemon Bar."
...
At 6:30 in the evening, in a private room at the Sweet Lemon Bar.
"Ellan, you are really crazy... I really can't believe that you actually found the moody Gehrman Sparrow to disguise as the admiral."
A man walked in quickly and looked at Ellan who was waiting there in astonishment. "What's even more unbelievable is that the Admiral actually agreed to let that lunatic impersonate him."
Ellan smiled and said, "This world is so magical sometimes, isn't it?"
"And Hermann?"
At this time, another Ireland walked out of the shadows. Except for the slightly different clothes, he was exactly the same. He had a weird smile on his face: "Bilt, he is right in front of you."
"???"
The man named Bilt was stunned, then he looked straight at the "Ellan" in front of him and began to stutter: "You...you are Gehrman Sparrow?"
Klein's smile faded, and he said calmly, "Let's go and meet the admiral."
"This... is really incredible. They are exactly the same."
Bilt was amazed, but when he thought about how he had just said bad things about him to his face, he couldn't help but worry. Would this lunatic take revenge on him?
"Aierlan, thank you so much this time. Otherwise, I really wouldn't be able to find someone who looks like the admiral in such a short time.¨墈~风雨文学,晓+税+王^ ¨埂¨鑫.蕞′全¨"
Ellan smiled and said, "You're welcome. I hope everything goes well."
Klein walked out of the bar with Bilt and asked him a few simple questions. He found out that he was a member of the "Adventurers Mutual Aid Association." As the name suggests, members of this mutual aid association would lend a helping hand to each other when they encountered danger outside.
Bilt usually does some things for the admiral and earns a lot of commissions, but in return he also needs to face the majesty of the demigod - if things are not done well or messed up, he may face punishment.
Just like the search for a substitute this time, which was an order issued by the admiral two days ago, but Bilt searched Bayam and didn't find anyone who looked like the admiral. Seeing that the time was getting closer, when Ireland found him and said that the "moody Hermann" should pretend to be the admiral, although Bilt thought he was mentally ill, he gritted his teeth and stomped his feet and decided to give it a try.
Unexpectedly, after a brief thought, the Admiral agreed.
Klein asked, "Do you know why he is suddenly looking for a substitute?"
Bilt shrugged. "The Admiral has something to do privately, but he can't let anyone know that he has left Bayam."
"Why? As the highest commander in this area, does he care about this?"
"It is because I am in a high position that I have to pay more attention to these details..." Bilt was a little embarrassed when he said this. "Of course, these are all my guesses. After all, I am just a little adventurer who gets paid to do things."
At around 7 o'clock, Klein followed Bilt into the Governor's Mansion. His first reaction when he looked at the layout of the courtyard was that it was not harmonious. It seemed that most of the walls and buildings were newly built. Most people might not be able to see it, but it was very obvious to him.
Bilt said silently: "...This place was mostly destroyed by the pirates you sent here last time. It took a lot of effort to repair it. Mr. Sparrow, please don't..."
"…"
I see. - Jing'wu? Xiao'tax? Injustice? - Drunk, happy¨Zhang¨Jie+More\salary/fast`
But those were done by Edward, and have nothing to do with me, Klein.
Just as I was muttering to myself, a child's voice suddenly came:
"Here, here!"
"Block that side, quickly, quickly!"
"Catch it in the net and hit it!"
"Caught! The thirteenth one!"
"yeah!"
Klein glanced over and saw five children squatting in the corner, busy doing something in a chaotic manner. A blond man followed them with a frown on his face.
Until a little girl held up a big, fat rat, Klein's eyes changed slightly: "That child... is Lilith?!"
Although her skin color was darker and she was wearing different clothes than last time, she was definitely Lilith.
Shit, Lilith is here, does that mean Edward is here too?
Chapter 434: Miss Ice Cream
"Who are those children?"
"It seems that the Admiral's secretary, Lu Er'an, was invited back from outside to catch mice. Oh, the one following them is Lu Er'an. He is one of the people you need to deal with in the next few days."
"Ask some kids to come back and catch mice? Isn't that too much of a joke?"
"I can't help it. Before today, I had never heard of anyone in Bayam who specialized in catching mice." Bilt smiled helplessly. "But it seems that they do have some skills in catching mice."
Tsk!
I'm just afraid that Edward is trying to do something secretly again!
When Klein looked at Lilith, she also felt his gaze, so she turned her head curiously, but only saw the backs of two people walking away. "Hey, is that Klein? Why is he here too?"
Isabella then put the mouse into the net bag and said, "Lilith, what are you looking at?"
"No."
"Then let's go somewhere else."
"Okay~"
Lilith raised her hand and pointed in a direction: "Go over there!"
On the other side, after waiting for two minutes, Klein was taken into the study by Bilt.
Admiral Amyrius was sitting at his desk, writing something. He was wearing a dark blue admiral uniform and had an aura of majesty without even being angry.
After hearing the voice, he raised his head and cast his gaze towards Klein. His eyes were filled with an indescribable sense of majesty and oppression. He said in an emotionless tone, "German Sparrow?"
Klein didn't react, but Bilt was sweating profusely. Then he heard Hermann say in the same tone, "It's me."
"No, you are not Gehrman Sparrow!"
Bilt's pupils shrank immediately, and he looked at Klein in astonishment. At the same time, he angrily scolded Ellan in his heart, "You asked me to find German to pretend to be the admiral, and it would be fine, but you actually found a fake one? !
This time, I'm really finished.
Compared to Bilt, Klein could feel a stronger pressure from the demigod in front of him. He felt the urge to tell the truth, but he still repeated in a calm tone: "It's me."
The two looked at each other quietly for a moment, and Amyrius nodded: "Then it's you."
Bilt: "???"
Then, Amyrius briefly explained to Klein what he was going to do in the next few days and signed a contract with him.
When the two men changed into each other's clothes, Klein became Admiral Amyrius.
Lilith and the other five walked around the huge Governor's Mansion. The net bags they prepared were already filled with rats, which were so densely packed that they looked very creepy.
If it was Lilith before she was promoted to Sequence 7, she would definitely feel extremely happy right now, but for her now, she doesn't feel much.
"Don't we need to go to that room?"
Lilith asked as she looked towards a luxuriously decorated house.
The blonde secretary Lu Er'an said, "No need for today. The young lady was frightened last night and is still recovering."
"But, there must be rats near that room~"
Lu Er'an handed over a 10-pound note and said, "Your work has been completed. This is your reward."
Isabella happily took the money and said, "Thank you!"
She hurriedly pulled Lilith and said, "Let's go, let's go home~"
"But..."
Lilith kept looking back at the room. She had an inexplicable feeling that there was something in the room.
"We've been catching mice for several hours, Lilith. We're all tired and hungry."
She looked at the others and saw that although they were all excited about receiving the huge sum of 10 pounds, they still couldn't hide the fatigue in their eyes.
"All right."
The little guys were then sent out of the Governor's Mansion by Lu Er'an. The secretary, who had been busy all day and half a night, finally found time to go to the admiral's study to report.
At the same time, in the room of Admiral Amyrius' mistress, a woman in a black dress sat quietly on the sofa. In her hand was a necklace with a knuckle-sized pendant hanging from it. The pendant was completely black and shaped like a shrunken rhino horn.
She looked at the woman curled up in the corner of the bed and asked calmly, "Where did you get this necklace?"
"...Yes, my mother gave it to me. She said... that wearing this necklace would make the admiral love me more and allow me to conceive his child."
"Oh."
The woman in the black dress, Christmena, smiled and said, "Of course, something contaminated by the Mother Tree of Desire can allow you to have children... Unfortunately, the result may not be what you imagined."
"I've taken the things. Forget about what you saw me tonight."
As soon as the words fell, the woman on the bed fell into a deep sleep. Christine slightly tightened her fingers holding the necklace and asked, "Why did Judith remind me to come and see Lilith? Did she know something in advance?"
"But why would the Mother Tree of Desire target Lilith? Is it targeting Edward? Or... is it just a coincidence?"
Coincidence is not a nice word.
Christine sighed and disappeared.
...
Backlund, at Dr. Allen's home.
Ever since Edward and Klein left Backlund, Will felt that his life had suddenly become easier and happier. He no longer had to worry about those trivial matters.
Every day I just lie down to rest, read books, read newspapers, and eat ice cream.
Delicious.
"Hmm~ I've been eating ice cream too often lately, and I'm a little tired of these flavors. Hmm, I'll send a message to Audrey and ask her to ask her chef to research some new flavors!"
Will put aside the half-eaten bowl of ice cream and picked up a copy of the Backlund Morning Post to read. "Huh? George III's recent series of actions... What is he up to?"
"Do you think you can gain the full support of the Witch Cult by using the Conqueror's Beyonder Characteristics? Or are you simply desperate?"
He held up his chin, "Well, that dice...isn't it time to take it back?"
Just thinking about this, his brows suddenly frowned on his little face, and he turned his head to look back: "...I am not happy to see you, Mr. Edward. \m?y/r\e`ad\cl,o^u/d/._c¢o~m?"
Edward took off his hat with a smile, bowed slightly and greeted, "I haven't had time to thank you for what happened before, Will."
"Why thank you? Didn't you end up being taken back to the God-Forsaken Land by that stupid snake anyway?"
"But I believe I can get out of this safely, and it will definitely require your help behind the scenes."
"whispering sound!"
Will snorted disdainfully. When I asked you through the mirror before whether you could accept that your child was "naturally smart", you refused without hesitation!
He got angry when he thought about it: Me! A Sequence 1 angel! A mercury snake with a 50% chance of becoming a god, wanted to be your son, but you rejected me without hesitation! - Well, although... I asked in a roundabout way through the mirror at that time.
"Okay, just tell me what you want. I don't believe you came here just to thank me."
Edward's expression turned serious. "Adam said... I might encounter something next and need the blessing of fate."
"And among all the people I know, you are the only one who is related to fate.¨6·哟′看+书\王. .罪?欣.璋*结?啾*欣~哙¢"
Will pouted, "Isn't Ouroboros that stupid snake?"
"...But I'm not familiar with Him, and He is still far away in the God-forsaken Land."
"So do I know you well?"
Edward said firmly: "Very familiar!"
You are so shameless!
Will snorted, "Did He say how to favor me?"
"No, except 'need the favor of fate', there is nothing else to say."
"Then I don't know how to take care of you. I can't be by your side 24 hours a day to bless you with good luck!" Will pouted, "I told you, even I can't overdraw luck indefinitely, otherwise I would have been promoted to the real 'Destiny' long ago."
He scratched his hair, looking worried, until he suddenly thought of something, "I know."
Will looked at him and smiled, "Go to Oravi and find Rejord. He will give you something."
Edward had no impression of the name Richaud, but based on his impression of the original book, he realized that the "thing" Will was talking about was most likely the dice that uniquely marked the path of destiny.
But he still asked the consultant knowingly, "What is it?"
"You'll find out when you go there."
"Okay, thank you very much."
Will waved his hand: "Ask Miss Ice Cream to help me research some new flavors of ice cream."
The ice cream lady? Audrey?
"must!"
Watching Edward disappear, Will crossed his arms angrily, "As expected, this guy only comes to me when he needs me!"
But he immediately smiled and said, "But this is also good, we can use each other~"
After leaving Dr. Allen's house, Edward went to see Priscilla again. Of course, to be more precise, it should be Medici.
When I saw Priscilla, she was standing on a high place with her sleeves rolled up, directing the members of the Aurora Society to clean up the house - under her command, the group of people obviously didn't know what they were doing.
Sometimes he ran east, sometimes he walked west, and the house was in chaos.
"Pricia, what are you...doing?"
"Brother Edward, you're here!"
She jumped down from the table with a light jump. "Are you also here to attend the first party I'm hosting?"
"Well."
Edward then remembered that Priscilla seemed to have mentioned this matter at the Tarot Club, so he nodded and said, "Yes, and by the way, I have something to do with Mr. Medici."
"Tsk, you even lied to a child, what a classless guy!"
Along with the disdainful voice, Medici's figure emerged, still looking wild and cool.
Priscilla snorted, "Brother Edward would never lie to me, unlike you who never speaks the truth!"
"Hey, I have a bad temper!"
"Mr. Medici."
Edward said in a deep voice: "I have good news to tell you."
"Good news?"
Medici smiled coldly, "Adam is dead?"
Chapter 435: What happened to Doomsday?
"…"
Edward was suddenly silent by him. He couldn't tell whether he was just talking casually or really knew it in advance.
"…What's with that expression on your face, kid?"
Medici raised an eyebrow, "Don't tell me Adam is really dead?"
"He claimed that He was dead."
"Call yourself? If you're dead, you're dead. Why would you call yourself that?"
"It's like this..."
Edward told Medici about his encounter with Adam on the primitive island - of course he did not mention the part about fusion, after all, Medici did not know that Adam, who had tricked him and boiled him together with the other two, was actually the Lord he once believed in and followed.
Telling him the news that Adam was dead was in the hope of learning more about Adam's plans through him.
"What do you think about that?"
"Hahahaha, what do I think?" Medici laughed. "My opinion is that He died too late!"
After a pause, the smile on his face faded, "But I still don't believe it. He has been planning for so many years, will he die so easily! Either he is teasing you, or he has some conspiracy."
"What if we assume now that Adam is really dead."
"have no idea."
Medici shook his head. "How can I possibly understand a madman's intentions?"
"Have you ever heard of any collaboration between Adam and the Lord? Mr. Men might have been involved."
"How could they possibly cooperate with each other?"
Edward was a little disappointed. It seemed that Medici knew nothing about Adam and the real creator's plan. Otherwise... he wouldn't have been cooked in a hot pot so easily.
Thinking about it this way, this guy... is really pitiful.
The Lord he was loyal to didn't seem to trust him that much.
"…"
Veins on Medici's forehead throbbed, he stared at Edward and asked, "What's that look in your eyes?"
"No, thank you, Mr. Medici."
Edward looked at Priscilla again, "Priscilla, when is your party?"
She immediately said happily, "In two days! I have asked someone to pass on the news through the previous method! Brother Edward, you will come to participate, right?"
"Yes!"
"Very good!"
"Then I'll be leaving first. See you tomorrow, Priscilla and Mr. Medici."
Edward said as he was about to teleport away.
"Hey kid!"
Medici suddenly called out to him, "You seem to be certain that Adam is dead. Why?"
"…I can't tell you yet."
"you!!!"
"Okay! Then tell me what the extraordinary characteristics of the remaining conqueror are, and the uniqueness of the Red Priest."
Edward thought for a moment, "What will you give me in exchange?"
Medici stared at him expressionlessly, "I promise to help you do something, no matter what it is, even if it means being against the gods!"
"…I feel like you're fooling me."
He didn't say anything else, just looked at Edward quietly.
"The remaining Conqueror's Extraordinary Characteristics should be located underground in Trier. You can find a way to get it yourself."
After a while, Edward said, "As for the uniqueness, I guess it is the Sealed Artifact 0-01 in the hands of the True God Church. If you have the ability, go get it yourself."
"The underground of Trier and Sealed Object 0-01?"
Medici murmured to himself that it was impossible for him to get these two things with his own abilities.
But in other words, it would also be difficult for others who were competing with him for these things to get them.
"The war is getting closer and closer. Besides Adam, is there another person behind this battlefield? Does she also want to use this war to become a red priest? Should I... fight with her?"
...
Edward then went back to Audrey's place and told her about his experiences over the past few days. He also listened to her talk about how she helped Fors in Pritz Harbor two days ago.
After hearing this, Edward covered his face and was speechless: "This is such a misunderstanding, what happened next..."
Now, does Fors really have no chance to become a disciple of the Abraham family? Before he even became a disciple, he beat up his teacher, tied him up, and threatened him with a three-edged spike to force a confession.
