Sharon, who doesn't like nicknames? How did she know? She's communicated with Miss Sharon before? Upon hearing Reinette Tinekerr's answer, Klein was first taken aback before questions surfaced in his mind.
From his point of view, under normal circumstances, the messenger and the sender wouldn't communicate. The entire process was to appear, take the letter, and leave.
Besides, when did Miss Messenger need to seek the other party's permission for a nickname? Did Frank Lee and Patrick Bryan express their approval?
A few seconds later, Klein instinctively guessed that Miss Messenger and Miss Sharon definitely had some sort of connection, and Reinette Tinekerr didn't wish to hide anything.
Reining in his thoughts, Klein tore open the envelope, unfolded the letter, and quickly scanned the contents.
"There's something I wish to receive your help with. I'll discuss the details with The Brave …"
Compared to before, Miss Sharon isn't as stingy with her words. She's slightly better. Is this a change from advancing to a demigod? Klein thought for a moment before walking to his desk. He picked up a fountain pen and wrote on the letter:
"When do you wish to meet?"
Just as he put down the fountain pen, he glanced at Reinette Tinekerr, who was standing by the side, seemingly waiting for him to write a letter. Klein felt a little more certain.
He folded the letter, handed it over, and said in a seemingly casual manner,
He said in a seemingly casual manner, "For Miss Sharon."
One of the heads that Reinette Tinekerr was holding bit on the letter as the other three said, "You …"
"This time …" "You …" "Paid …" "Postage …"
"No …" "Paid …" "Postage …"
"…" Klein cleared his throat, took out a gold coin, and handed it to Miss Messenger.
Seeing Reinette Tinekerr vanish, he revealed a thoughtful expression. He walked to a reclining chair and sat down, patiently waiting.
Less than a minute later, the messenger in the dark and complicated dress walked out of the void once again. She was biting on the letter from before.
Klein didn't ask as he received the reply and unfolded it.
"If you don't have any problems, it's best to do it tonight."
Tonight … Klein nodded thoughtfully and flicked his wrist, causing the letter to burst into crimson flames and quickly turn black.
The flames expanded and engulfed his body.
By the time the flames subsided, Klein's figure had already disappeared from the reclining chair. The embers hovered in the air and fell into a trash can not far away under the influence of an invisible wind.
In Baekeland's North Borough, Cherwood Borough, and the bridge area, the gas wall lamps in the buildings that weren't connected brightened a little before returning to normal.
Before long, Klein appeared in a room he had privately rented at the edge of East Borough. He changed his clothes, put on his gold-rimmed glasses, and left as Sherlock Moriarty. He arrived at The Brave.
This time, he didn't look for Ian, who was playing board games with a group of people in the chess room. Instead, he listened for a few seconds before he pushed open the door of one of the billiard rooms and slowly walked in.
Just as he locked the door, he saw the outline of a silhouette on his left and right.
Sitting on the high stool on the left was Sharon, who was wearing a small bonnet and a regal dress. She had pale blonde hair and blue eyes. Compared to before, her face wasn't as pale as before. She only looked a little like she had lost some blood. This made her deviate from the image of a female ghost and closer to a doll.
Standing beside the billiard table on the right was Marić. The young man who liked to play cards with zombies was increasingly pale. The malice in his eyes that needed to be restrained wasn't obvious, but it gave off a repressive feeling.
"Good evening, both of you." Klein smiled as he took off his hat and bowed.
"Good evening, Mr. Detective." Sharon's body seemed weightless as she floated up slightly and returned the bow seriously. Marić did the same.
At that moment, the billiard room felt like it was haunted.
Klein casually pulled a high stool and sat down. He chuckled.
He chuckled and said, "What's the matter this time?"
"I'm sorry. I might have to trouble you again." Sharon bowed again.
Marić hurriedly said, "We've reached an agreement with the Sanguine.
"We've come to an agreement with the Sanguine to cooperate against the important members of the Rose School of Thought in Backlund.
"We'll definitely leave the details to us, including how to lure them out, how to ambush them, and how to take action. I just hope that you can watch the entire process and lead us away when an accident happens.
"Feel free to mention whatever you want. We can discuss it."
That also means that I'm a contingency plan to prevent any accidents … What if Emlyn gets The World's help in secret? When the time comes, their plan is to have two demigods as backup … Uh, that seems doable. I'll be Sherlock Moriarty and get Qonas Kilgor to be German Sparrow … Klein thought for a few seconds and didn't directly respond to Marić.
Instead, he said, "Let me ask a few questions."
Marić glanced at Sharon and nodded slightly.
"Alright."
Klein looked at Sharon, who was sitting on the high stool like a doll.
"The Tutanssess II mummy you previously obtained was prepared for you to advance to Sequence 4 Puppet. And are you sure that you've become a demigod?"
This was something he had learned from their conversation and letters. His main goal was to confirm it and start the conversation.
Sharron looked back at him quietly. Her voice was a little ethereal and inhuman as she said, "You're right.
"Yes."
Klein nodded slightly and asked directly, "What's your relationship with Reinette Tinekerr?"
"What's your relationship with Reinette Tinekerr?"
Sharon's blue eyes moved imperceptibly.
"'She' is my teacher."
Teacher … 'She' … Although Klein had some guesses, he nearly drew a gasp as he felt his teeth sting.
In the blink of an eye, although his expression didn't change, countless thoughts surfaced in his mind.
… Miss Messenger was originally an angel?
I actually used an angel as a messenger? Isn't this a little too exaggerated?
"She" is even Miss Sharon's teacher … Back when "She" applied to be my messenger, it probably wasn't that simple!
From the looks of it, "She" is definitely at odds with the Mother Tree of Desire. Did "She" sign a contract with me because "She" covets me? No, she's definitely my enemy?
It's no wonder Miss Sharon was able to easily obtain the Puppet potion formula and the corresponding ingredients. So it's because of my teacher's help …
As his thoughts raced, Klein decided to ask a question and use the process of Miss Sharon or Marić's answer to calm himself down.
He deliberated for a moment.
"What's the exact situation?"
This time, it was still Sharon who answered. She was even more inanimate than Horamick's robot.
"In the early Fifth Epoch, Death perished. The Southern Continent's Star Plateau, Paz Valley, and other places experienced a wave of resistance against the Balam Empire's rule.
"During this process, the Chained God appeared, and the Rose School was born. My teacher was originally the daughter of the ruler of the highlands back then. Later, she became a Blessed of the Chained God and helped" Her "father establish the Highlands Kingdom.
"After that," She "became a Sequence 2 angel, one of the leaders of the Rose School." She "advocated temperance and used a life of poverty and low desires to resist madness.
"922 years ago, the Son of God, Suah, was born. Everything began to change. Indulgence in desires and bloody sacrifices gradually became mainstream.
"Originally, Teacher was able to barely maintain it, preventing the temperance faction from being affected. But as time passed, the influence of the Mother Tree of Desire grew. Suah also successfully advanced a few years ago, becoming a true Abomination.
"An internal war erupted. Teacher protected us as we escaped from the highlands, the river valley, and the grasslands. As for me, I watched" Her "perish under the siege of Suah and the other upper echelons.
"However, 'She' didn't completely die. 'She' had made certain preparations beforehand and resurrected in a special state in the spirit world. 'She' yearned for the integrity of her body."
Is that so … In other words, Miss Messenger only has the nature of an angel, but she doesn't have the corresponding powers. She's in a weak state. It's no wonder she wasn't able to easily deal with Rose School's demigod, Jack … Wait a minute, although I've worked with many angels, they're all incomplete or very weak. Apart from Ma 'am Arianna, all of them are in such a state … Mr. Aztec, Pallez Zoroast, Will Auceptin, Miss Messenger … Is there something wrong with my title of The Fool? Could it be that "They" are waiting for me to give Scholar of Yore the corresponding charm? Klein was enlightened as he felt wistful.
He didn't ask Reinette Tinekerr why "She" yearned for money.
After thinking for a moment, he said, "Miss Sharon, Rose School definitely doesn't lack the potion formula for Puppet. After you obtained the Tutanssess II mummy, they likely treat you as a demigod. In addition, Ma 'am Reinette Tinekerr had once appeared in front of Rose School's demigods and fought them. This also means that Rose School definitely knows that" She "is still alive and will definitely be wary of" Her. "And your teacher-student relationship with" Her "isn't a secret on their side.
"Under such circumstances, isn't it too idealistic for you and Marić to use yourselves as bait to fish out the important members of Rose School in Baekeland?
"Do you think they will only send one or two demigods to deal with you? What level of help can the Sanguine provide?
"Also, I previously mentioned that due to a certain identity of mine, the Mother Tree of Desire places great importance on me." She "even got Abomination Suah to directly take action. As for your teacher's cooperation with me, they are also very aware of it.
"Putting all of this together, it's not hard to guess what kind of blow you will receive if you appear."
Having said that, Klein's expression turned serious.
The entire billiard room turned abnormally silent, but Sharon's expression didn't change at all.
The entire billiard room instantly fell abnormally silent, but Sharon's expression didn't change at all.
