Amidst the frozen silence, Amyrius quickly controlled his expression and said in a deep voice with a dignified and deep voice, "It's time for a battle.
"Tell me the details."
Klein did not hide too much. He first started with Aston Rieveldt's questions, then mentioned the mysterious person's warning in his dream, telling him not to go against the trend of the times and the choice of history. Then, he briefly talked about the telegram that suddenly came. Finally, he briefly described Cynthia's mutation, the situation at the scene, the secretary's arrogance, his own response, and the subsequent investigation.
The only thing he hid was that the 4th of February was the first day he arrived on Oravi Island, as well as the corresponding guesses.
Of course, he described the exact details of the battle in a very vague manner. He believed that Admiral Amyrius would be able to understand. After all, what a Beyonder was good at and what unique powers they had was one of their greatest secrets. If it were to be leaked, it would be understood by others and they would be targeted. It was even possible for them to die at the hands of enemies of a Lower Sequence.
Below High-Sequence Beyonders, many Beyonders could be very powerful or very weak!
Amyrius listened in silence. His expression didn't change in the dark room, but the fact that he didn't interrupt or ask any questions was indicative of the situation.
After a few seconds of silence, he said solemnly,
"The mysterious person who invaded your dream emphasized the fate of the era and the trend?"
"Yes." Klein had reverted to his German Sparrow face. He did not deliberately explain that the mysterious man did not mention Auston Rieveldt's specific plan.
Amyrius fell silent for a moment again.
"You keep my appearance in your dreams?"
"Yes, this is my secret," Klein replied succinctly.
Amyrius nodded inconspicuously and silently paced a few steps in a small area before looking at German Sparrow again.
"There is no problem with your choice."
Hearing this, Klein seemed to have received the most effective feedback, and the potion in his body was digested quite a bit.
As his deep voice resounded, Amyrius turned his body and cast his gaze out the window. He said without any emotions, "That's right.
"Originally, I didn't plan to sign a contract with the substitute. Instead, I was going to tell Cynthia that there were signs of losing control and that I couldn't get close to her for five days. But then, some reasons made me change my mind."
If it wasn't for the restriction of the temporary contract, even if I could endure the usual temptation, I wouldn't have been able to resist the magnified desire last night …
Of course, if Cynthia knew of the five-day limit ahead of time, she wouldn't be in a rush to consume the powder ground from the Reproduction Necklace. That way, she wouldn't sense the Mother Tree of Desire and experience any anomalies … But this way, the Naturism Sect would have the initiative. They could find another excuse to make Cynthia consume it …
This matter is really targeted at me … What does the Mother Tree of Desire want? Also, what's the reason that made Admiral Amyrius make such an important change … Klein vaguely grasped the crux of the matter as he looked at Amyrius's side profile.
"What reason?"
Amyrius spoke without any expression.
"You don't need to know."
For the first time in his life, Klein hated such a response.
After some thought, he took out the cracked pendant and threw it to Amyrius.
This is the Reproduction Necklace that originates from the Mother Tree of Desire.
Amyrius raised his hand to catch it and looked down.
"You can leave now.
"Go to Bilt and collect your payment."
Aren't you worried that I'll know something I shouldn't know? That's right. Auston and company's plot has already been exposed and learned of by their political enemies. As for Amyrius, he clearly wasn't involved in it. Therefore, it's fine even if I don't know anything … Klein imagined that there would be a long-term confidentiality agreement, but he never expected that he could leave just like that.
Noticing that Amyrius didn't take the initiative to mention another matter, he pointed at him.
"Clothes."
Only then did Admiral Amyrius look up. He silently took off his tailcoat that included a shirt and vest.
Klein originally wanted to use the reason that the difficulty of the mission exceeded the previously agreed upon limit as an excuse to obtain additional payment, but after he vaguely confirmed that Cynthia's matter was because of him, he gave up on the idea out of guilt. He quickly took off his comfortable sleeping robe and changed into his tailcoat. Following Amyrius's guidance, he jumped out the window and silently left the garden villa under the guards' "blindfold."
Amyrius put on his sleeping robe, held the Reproduction Necklace, and walked to the window. He looked at the crimson moon and a few stars in the dark night as he stood there in silence.
He stood there without any expression, not changing his posture for a long while.
Pa!
His tightly clenched left hand loosened slightly, and the shrunken rhinoceros horn-like broken pendant fell to the ground in fragments, piece by piece, piece by piece.
…
At noon the next day, Klein, who had a good night's sleep, left the hotel. He took a carriage to Sweet Lemon Bar and met Bilt Brando in the room on the second floor.
"It's over?" Bilt asked, feeling somewhat relieved and pleasantly surprised.
Klein nodded.
"Admiral Amyrius is back.
"Where's the rest of the payment?"
Bilt revealed an unconcealable smile. After sending the bodyguards out the door, he personally went to the safe and took out the remaining 500 yuan and a blue cufflink.
"This is a mystical item made from the murloc bladder you provided," introduced Bilt. "It can provide illusory scales hidden under your skin, making you as hard to catch as a fish. It can also help you withstand a certain amount of damage. With it, you can dive at least 15 meters unprotected and move freely underwater for 10 minutes. It doesn't have many negative effects. It just makes you more tired than normal in hot or dry places. "
In other words, try not to mix this cufflink with the Sun Brooch … Klein reached out to take the money and items.
"Aren't you worried that there will be problems?" Bilt joked.
"Your business is here," Klein replied calmly.
What he meant was very simple. If there was a problem, he was not afraid of not being able to find the person responsible.
Bilt's smile froze for a second.
"It doesn't have a name yet. You can give it one."
"Murloc Cufflinks." Klein did not waste his brain cells.
"… Good name. Very vivid." Bilt forced a smile.
He paused for a moment before continuing.
"That Artisan said that he can solidify the ritual to summon a spirit world creature on materials with spirituality. It can last for up to a year and a half, but he needs you to provide detailed information.
"Heh heh, according to the agreement, I'll pay for it. You don't have to worry."
"Alright, I'll make it into a harmonica." Klein took out a pen and paper from his pocket and scribbled down the ritual to summon his messenger.
"Messenger? That's rather rare. It's very difficult for Beyonders outside the Death pathway to find a suitable messenger. " Bilt took the piece of paper and casually glanced at it. "Eh, if I accidentally summon a messenger during the crafting process, I need to give her a gold coin … What happens if I don't give it? Heh heh, spirit world creatures are always strange. I've seen those who love music, and I've also seen those who linger around feces. "
What happens if I don't give it? Perhaps Ma 'am Reinette Tinekerr will bring you and the Artisan's heads to me. She's a creature with a castle in the spirit world. She might even be stronger than me. Hmm, under the circumstances where I don't use the Sea God Scepter … Klein lampooned and said in a deep voice,
"We'll talk about the third promise in the future."
"Alright." Bilt didn't have any objections to this. Following that, he asked out of curiosity, "Mr. Gehrman, how did you hide from Secretary Luan, Governor-General Aston, and Miss Cynthia that Admiral Amyrius mentioned?"
"…" Klein tried his best not to twitch his face.
"Carefully figure it out according to the information."
He didn't go into detail as he stood up, held his hat, and bowed.
"It's time I bid you farewell."
"It's a pleasure working with you," Bilt replied with a smile.
After watching German Sparrow's figure disappear through the door, he shook his head with a chuckle.
He muttered to himself, "This powerful and crazy adventurer is actually a natural actor?"
After lunch, his subordinates delivered the day's newspapers.
As Bilt sucked on his cigar, he casually flipped through it. His expression suddenly froze.
"Last night, the newly appointed governor-general, Ben Conrad, held a banquet at his manor … Newly appointed governor-general? Aston Rieveldt has been relieved of his post as governor-general? "Bilt picked up the other newspapers in surprise and saw the same news.
With his connections in Oravi, he should've long heard of a major matter like the change of governor-general. But this time, it had happened extremely suddenly. Most people only learned of the situation after the new governor-general officially appeared.
After a while, a collaborator who secretly served Admiral Amyrius entered the room.
"His Excellency wants you to investigate the people around you and find all the Naturism Sect believers. Throw them into the sea," the collaborator conveyed Amyrius's instructions.
"Alright," Bilt asked in puzzlement. "What exactly happened? Ever since yesterday, the Naturism Sect has suffered a heavy blow. "
"His Excellency was assassinated by the Naturism Sect. Miss Cynthia was killed, and Secretary Luan was injured. His guards lost quite a number of people," the collaborator gave a simple description.
"Ah?" Bilt was momentarily stunned.
I-isn't this the person Admiral Amyrius mentioned when he was acting?
I even specially emphasized it to German Sparrow …
Now, Miss Cynthia has been killed, Secretary Luan is injured, and Aston Rieveldt has been relieved of his post as governor-general … Bilt's expression turned sluggish as the corners of his mouth twitched.
…
East Chester County's capital, Stoen City.
Audrey silently listened to a noble lady's words. From time to time, she would chime in and provide an explanation.
"Audrey, you really are an angel. After chatting with you, I feel a lot more comfortable." Towards the end, the noble lady sincerely praised her.
At this moment, Audrey saw a female priest from the Church of Evernight enter. Hence, she humbly greeted her with a faint smile.
This priest looked like an ordinary person on the surface, doing the lowest level of preaching, but in fact, she was a secret member of the Psychological Alchemy.
"Audrey, the potion formula has already been sent to me, but you need to make sufficient contributions to obtain it," the female priest whispered while no one was paying attention.
Audrey's eyes darted around slightly.
"No problem.
"However, Ma 'am Smine, can you tell me its name?"
The female priest who was addressed as Smine looked around and suppressed her voice.
"Hypnotist."
