Inside the room, upon hearing Bilt's sigh, Sothoth pressed down on the edges of his eye sockets and said in a deep voice,
"Boss, that important figure will be arriving the day after tomorrow."
Bilt looked back with a heavy expression.
"I know."
"We only have two choices. One, regardless of whether German Sparrow is trustworthy, entrust the mission to him and hope for the best outcome. The second is to immediately abandon our business in Oravi and leave with our cash and jewelry. We'll become pirates out at sea. I'm confident that I can get most of the sailors and adventurers on the Pirate Hunter to follow us." Sothoth paused before adding, "Boss, back when you were an adventurer and led us on a ship to hunt pirates, you were so resolute and resolute. I believe you've already made up your mind. There's no need for me to do anything else."
"Haha, there's no need to flatter me." Bilt laughed bitterly. "I'm no longer the Pirate Hunter who showed no fear amidst blood and gunfire. The long and comfortable life has unknowingly corroded my will. I don't even wish to continue seeking opportunities to advance. My companions who have turned into monsters still seem to live in my mind."
Phew … He exhaled as his expression turned solemn.
"However, you're right. We don't have time to hesitate. We have to make a decision immediately."
With that said, Bilt turned his head and pointed at the window with his chin.
Sothoth was first taken aback before he understood what his boss meant.
…
After leaving Sweet Lemon Bar, Klein strolled along the streets and prepared to hire a carriage at the crossroad.
At this moment, he heard a crash from the window upstairs and saw a figure descend.
Perhaps it was because he had experienced the Antigonus family's notebook and the strange telegraph office in Bansy Harbor, but Klein's first reaction was that Bilt Brando was dead. After he visited him, he had suddenly died and fallen from the building. When he landed on the ground, his eyes were wide open.
This was just like when he opened the door to see Ray Bieber's mother dead in a reclining chair. Her corpse was already highly decomposed, and her eyeballs had fallen to the ground due to external vibrations.
As such thoughts flashed through his mind, Klein clearly saw that the figure that fell from the building was Sothoth Young and not Bilt Brando.
Furthermore, he was in normal condition and was clearly still alive.
Oh no, trouble is knocking on my door … Klein's heart skipped a beat as he made a more accurate judgment.
If he were himself, he would definitely pretend that he hadn't seen Sothoth Yang jump off the building to intercept him. He would turn around and leave before Sothoth could say a word. He would run until he lost Sothoth Yang, just like how Admiral of Stars was being pursued by Knowledge.
It's a pity that I'm now German Sparrow. A crazy adventurer wouldn't flee because of such a trivial matter … Sigh, I've gained a better understanding of myself. It's a bonus … Klein stopped and looked at Sothoth, who was wearing a linen shirt and a brown jacket. He pressed his hand to his chest and bowed.
"Mr. German Sparrow, we have a very important matter to entrust to you."
Here it comes … Klein replied with a calm expression,
"I haven't been free lately."
"This won't take up too much of your time. You can listen to the specifics before considering whether to reject or accept," Sothoth, who had a black beard, said sincerely.
I'm just afraid that I'll have no choice but to accept it after hearing it … Uh, actually, it's fine. If Bilt Brando and Sothoth Young dare threaten me and force me to accept the mission, I don't mind turning them into gold pounds and Beyonder ingredients … Klein seriously thought about it and realized that he didn't need to worry too much at sea. With the strength of a pirate admiral, he could basically do as he pleased in most places.
He took out the golden pocket watch inside his clothes, opened it, and glanced at it.
"I'll give you five minutes."
"Alright, that's enough." Sothoth pointed at the entrance of Sweet Lemon Bar behind Klein.
Returning to the previous room, Klein glanced at the wall clock and said with an indifferent expression,
"Three minutes and twelve seconds left."
His attitude made Bilt feel at ease for some baffling reason. He began to believe that German Sparrow had the absolute ability to complete the mission.
"Mr. Gehrman, I heard that you can transform into anyone, just like Rear Admiral Hurricane Zillinges in the past," Bilt seized the opportunity to ask.
Who leaked this matter? Klein's brows pricked up as he looked at Bilt with a deep gaze.
If news of German Sparrow being able to transform into anyone were to spread, it would be quite troublesome for Klein. This was because it would either make people think of Creeping Hunger or Zillinges's death, or he would be suspected as a Faceless by Beyonders who knew certain secrets. The former might attract the attention of the Twilight Hermit Order, and the latter was likely to attract the attention of the Church of the Evernight Goddess, who would send people to investigate.
Of course, the Church of the Evernight Goddess didn't have much influence at sea, so Klein wasn't too worried. He just didn't wish to have a conflict with the Nighthawks.
When the time came, he would have no choice but to abandon his identity as German Sparrow. His image as a crazy, powerful, and soft-hearted adventurer would become more and more widely known, gaining recognition and more feedback.
Bilt sensed the change in German Sparrow's gaze as his entire body tensed up.
He chuckled and said, "This is news from the Black Death."
Tracy … She's taking revenge on me. One day, I'll complete my hunt for her … Klein nodded gently.
"You can treat this news as real."
He didn't deliberately explain where his ability to transform into others came from, as it matched German Sparrow's persona.
Bilt immediately heaved a sigh of relief and calmed down for two seconds.
"We're helping an important figure find a body double."
Under German Sparrow's indecipherable gaze, he explained in detail, "That important figure needs to take action alone to deal with a secret matter that can't be known by others.
"That big shot needs to act alone to deal with a secret matter that cannot be known by others. Therefore, there needs to be a substitute to deal with his daily affairs, meet different guests, deal with his mistress, and not expose any problems. He should be able to return in three to five days.
"We had already found a person who looked like him and spent a lot of time correcting his manners and accent. We also reported the good news to the big shot. Who knew that the tramp would overeat and suddenly die of an illness the night before yesterday." Chen Zhao smiled.
"That important figure is about to take action on his own. We don't have the time to find another person who looks like him, so we can only seek your help."
Isn't this the real acting opportunity I wanted … Klein's heart palpitated when he heard that.
However, he acutely noticed something.
To be called an important figure by the leader of the Adventurer Association, Bilt, meant that he was definitely a truly important figure. Matters surrounding important figures were often not simple. They contained considerable risks!
Klein thought for a moment and returned with a deep question.
"Do you think this matter is dangerous?"
"No, as long as you don't expose yourself, there won't be any danger. All you need to do is represent that important figure in the open. Heh heh, no one will dare assassinate him. Yes … I know what you're worried about. Are you afraid that the important figure will kill everyone in the know? Don't worry, the pirates have fabricated many malicious rumors about him. So as long as it ends successfully, no one will believe you no matter how you leak this matter in the future. It will only be treated as a joke, "Bilt said with a smile as he spread out his hands.
Klein didn't harp on the problem as he changed the subject.
He asked, "What kind of remuneration can you offer?"
"1,000 pounds in cash, plus three opportunities to be made by an Artisan. Heh heh, I'll help you pay for everything apart from the materials." Bilt started with German Sparrow's previous request and raised conditions that he believed he couldn't refuse.
Not bad … But most importantly, the real acting opportunity … Klein looked at the wall clock and said, "I'll think about it.
I'll give you an answer tonight. "
Regardless, it was necessary to head above the gray fog to divine the danger level of the matter!
Considering that Bilt and Sothoth were Sequence 7 or even Sequence 6 Beyonders, Klein didn't request to use the washroom in front of them to prevent them from noticing anything amiss.
As he didn't divulge the identity of the important figure, Bilt wasn't worried. He nodded.
"Alright.
"I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation."
…
On Williams Street, a stout Feysac man, who was nearly two meters tall, was searching for clues.
Suddenly, his spiritual perception was triggered as he looked up.
His surroundings were suffused with a light that resembled the first rays of dawn, illuminating the surrounding houses and street lamps as though they were illusions.
At the same time, flames rose on the street as all sorts of supernatural phenomena appeared.
Indeed, the Sauron family has sent someone … The Feysac who had his suspicions cast his gaze forward.
He saw Nighthawks wearing either red or black gloves appear. He saw pitch-black gun muzzles covered in complicated patterns extend out from the rooftops and aim at him. Yet, the surrounding pedestrians didn't seem to notice anything.
He also saw the Church of Steam and Machinery's Archbishop of Baekeland diocese, Horamick, and the Church of the Evernight Goddess's Archbishop of Baekeland diocese, Saint Anthony.
Right on the heels of that, through the corner of his eye, he saw the Sauron family raise their hands above their heads.
"…" The powerful Feysac spy did the same.
They made a prompt decision and chose to surrender!
Resistance would only result in death on the spot, but there was still a chance of redemption if they surrendered!
…
At half past six in the evening, Klein came to Sweet Lemon Bar once again and met Bilt and Sothoth.
He said in a deadpan manner, "Pay 500 pounds in advance.
"Then, tell me who the target is."
Bilt couldn't help but reveal a clear smile.
As he gestured for Sothoth to head to the safe, he said in a deep voice, "He's the kingdom's highest naval commander in the Central Sonia Sea.
"His Excellency Admiral Amyrius Rieveldt!
"Admiral Amyrius Rieveldt!
"A true demigod!"
