Secret: The undead do not die in the fire

Chapter 94 Klein: Get out of the way! The great Mr. Fool is trying to show off!
“So, are you still selling it?”

Seeing Edwina silent, Ember asked.

"Sell."

Edwina quickly adjusted herself and asked, "Does this mean that you know its secret?"

"more or less."

Yu Jin hesitated for two seconds and then slowly said, "Do you know the painting world?"

"Know something."

Edwina's expression changed and she nodded slightly.

“This book contains a world within it, just as the world of the painting does.”

"Do you know how to get in?"

Edwina's beautiful eyes flashed with a strange light and she asked.

"do not know."

Yu Jin shook his head and said calmly, "But as long as there is enough time, we will know."

"One world?"

Edwina murmured in a low voice, with a complicated expression on her face.

If there really was a world in it, the book would undoubtedly be worth more than eight thousand pounds.

and so……

"make a deal."

Edwina took the gold pound from Yu Jin's hand and handed him "Groselle's Travels".

Yu Jin was somewhat surprised by Edwina's frankness.

He had only just arrived and had no idea about the currency in this world.

But a sacrificial ring can be worth more than 10,000 gold pounds, and this "book" containing the world will be even more valuable.

But he was really surprised that Edwina was still able to hand over the secret so calmly after knowing it.

"Sorry, I have some things to take care of. Please excuse me."

Edwina suddenly said something apologetic and turned to walk out of the collection room.

Leaving Yu Jin alone in such a collection room full of precious collections, I don’t know whether to say that she is careless or that she trusts Yu Jin enough.

of course.

It could also be confidence.

After all, this is on the sea, and even if Ember takes their collection, he can't escape.

"follow me."

As soon as she walked out of the collection room, Edwina caught a glimpse of the person hiding in the collection room and eavesdropping, and said lightly.

Orpheus and the others looked at each other, but soon rushed to follow Edwina.

When they reached the deck, Edwina stopped and turned around to ask seriously, "Orpheus, did you find a painting on the One-Eyed Skull?"

"painting?"

Orpheus was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "There is indeed a painting, on the wall of the captain's room. But I guess that painting is probably the work of the 'Mad Captain', and it has no artistic value at all. Even a dog would nod when seeing it."

'Flower Tie' nodded subconsciously. Although he and Orpheus didn't get along, he still agreed with his artistic taste.

Since he said that the dog nodded when he saw it...

"Um?!"

'Flower Tie' opened his eyes wide and glared.

"Orpheus, you bastard! Are you plotting against me again?!"

Orpheus sneered and didn't bother to pay any attention to him.

"And the picture?"

Edwina asked.

"I didn't take it..."

Orpheus said somewhat embarrassedly.

As he said, a work of art that he thought had no artistic value at all would be considered dirty if touched.

"Do you want to turn around? We should be able to find it if we go back now."

First Mate Blue asked in a low voice.

Edwina hesitated for a moment, but rejected the idea and just waved her hand to send a few people away.

The three Blues looked at each other, then turned and left.

Edwina looked at the calm blue sea in the distance, feeling inexplicably disappointed. "So, does that mean he actually came from the 'painting world'?"

If Embers came from the world of painting, the value of his research would be greatly reduced.

After all, the Church of Knowledge already had a painting world, and she had once entered it.

The teacher once told her that although every painting world would be different because of the different holders.

But apart from the painting worlds in the hands of the three major orthodox churches, there are no "miracles" in the painting worlds that are scattered outside.

The painted world in the hands of the "Mad Captain" could not possibly belong to the three major orthodox churches.

Ember is most likely just a lucky guy who got a set of 'Ancient Black Knight Armor' by chance.

Just like Orpheus.

"Too."

Edwina murmured in a low voice, "Teacher has been searching for so long but still can't find any clues. How could I have come across it so easily?"

……

the other side.

Not long after Edwina left, Yu Jin also left the collection room and returned to his room.

"Groselle's Travels" was collected by the embers into the soul space -

This actually surprised him a little.

Because the real world of painting cannot be contained, it is a real world after all.

But this also indirectly proves that "Groselle's Travels" is not as "complete" as the painting world.

Because I had no common topics with the pirates.

The ember just stayed quietly in the room.

Until noon, Edwina did not come to see him again, as if she already knew the answer she wanted.

Instead, it was First Mate Blue who came to see him.

He warmly invited him to have lunch together, and even the other pirates looked at Yu Jin with kind eyes.

It was completely different from the gnashing of teeth attitude he had in the morning when he wanted to kill him.

Wait until after lunch.

Yu Jin declined Blue's suggestion to 'go for a walk together' and returned to the room.

Quietly waiting for the arrival of three o'clock in the afternoon.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Fool! Good afternoon, Mr. Lover! Good afternoon, Mr. Hanged Man! Good afternoon, Mr. Sun!"

Amid Miss Audrey's sweet and joyful voice, another Tarot Club was held on time.

When she saw the embers on the other side, she breathed a sigh of relief at a speed visible to the naked eye.

But the 'audience' still asked her to maintain basic restraint and calmness, and not show too much excitement.

"Mr. Fool,"

Miss Audrey turned her head and looked at the Fool in the first seat. She said in a sweet voice, "I was lucky this time. I got a lot of Roselle's diaries at once. But even though I have been promoted to a 'Mind Reader', I can only remember 5 pages of Roselle's diary. Please forgive me for being able to give it to you in several times."

It’s still Mr. Fool’s reading time as usual.

Miss Audrey and Alger each submitted the Russell diary they had obtained.

Although there was a certain amount of repetition in it, it also allowed Klein to learn some secret information again.

For example, there is the law of indestructibility of extraordinary characteristics, and the law of conservation of extraordinary characteristics within similar sequences.

Klein was inexplicably excited.

He wanted Zhuang Bi, but he hesitated when he looked at Yu Jin.

He should, probably.

Have you never read these diaries? Never mind. It doesn't matter whether you have read them or not.

Klein took a deep breath and smiled quietly.

"Roselle mentioned some hidden history and some simple common sense in the diary. The latter reminded me that I didn't seem to tell you."

"The first common sense is the law of the indestructibility of extraordinary characteristics. Extraordinary characteristics will not be destroyed or reduced. They will only be transferred from one thing to another."

"The second common sense is the law of conservation of extraordinary characteristics within similar sequences."

As he spoke, Klein paused and took a look at the embers.

The latter seemed unaware of this, and nodded thoughtfully.

This made Klein breathe a sigh of relief, feeling somewhat fortunate and happy.

A fool is no weaker than others throughout his life!

"Extraordinary characteristics... where is it? Oh, I found it."

Yu Jin silently searched through the countless items in the soul space for his latest collection, and finally his eyes fixed on a glowing object.

[Peace Officer Extraordinary Characteristics]

[Can be used as an alternative to extraordinary materials for promotion to 'Sheriff'.

It seemed to be the only trace left by some poor Beyonder.

It seems to contain some deep madness,
It is eroding human nature bit by bit. 】

Ember's face showed a clear look.

He didn't kill many Beyonders, but each one of them gave him a Beyonder characteristic.

He originally thought it was something like the Silver Knight's ears, so he didn't pay much attention to it at first.

There is not even any instructions to look at.

Didn't expect it to have such an effect?
“Why is it a similar sequence?”

Alger couldn't help but ask.

Klein smiled and replied, "What will you pay for the answer?"

Common sense is free, but explanations are charged. This is consistent with identity positioning and does not waste information.

After several people accepted Mr. Fool's commission or paid the corresponding remuneration.

Mr. Fool spoke again.

In the application that shocked everyone, it was revealed that the so-called similar sequences refer to several pathways that can be interchanged at high sequences.

"Mr. Lover."

After communicating with The Fool, Audrey finally asked, "You don't seem to be in Backlund recently. Is the Church of Evernight sending you on a mission?"

"No, it was just an accident."

Yu Jin shook his head and explained, "In short, I went to find Mr. A to find the whereabouts of the painting world, but I was ambushed by him and accidentally entered the painting world. When I left, I was already in the Sonia Sea."

"Because of the different speeds of time, I thought I was only in there for a few hours, but in fact several days have passed in the outside world. Therefore, I may not be able to return to Backlund in a short time."

"Painting world? The speed of time?"

Audrey's beautiful eyes became brighter and brighter, and she always felt that the world of painting was even more magical than the real world.

"Mr. Hanged Man."

Yu Jin then turned to look at Alger and said, "Edwina is leading her crew on an expedition that will take about five days, so she may not be able to send me to Toscat Island in the near future."

"It's ok."

Alger immediately said, "It will take me a week to get to Tuscat Island, so the time is just right."

"That's good."

Yu Jin nodded slightly, then turned his gaze to Audrey, "Ms. Justice, I hope you can accept a commission from me."

"What kind of commission?"

Audrey blinked.

"I have four extraordinary characteristics."

Ember said, "One Sequence 6, two Sequence 7, and one Sequence 8, all belong to the 'Arbitrator' pathway."

After a pause, Yu Jin continued, "We have a friend whose friend may need a copy of Sequence 8 Beyonder Characteristics. So I hope to pass that copy of Sequence 8 Beyonder Characteristics to you through The Fool, and you can sell it to her."

Upon hearing about the extraordinary characteristics of the Arbitrator's Path, the others immediately realized that this should be the gain from the last Kapin case.

However, Yu Jin probably didn't know what these things were used for at the time, so he kept them in his hands.

Now, after Mr. Fool's reminder, he realized that these things could be used as a substitute for illegal materials.

But this also reveals another message: he has a friend in the 'arbitrator' channel.

"Miss Hugh?"

Audrey's mind moved, and she immediately understood who the ember was pointing at. She nodded inconspicuously and said, "No problem, I'll pass it on to her."

“It’s for resale.”

Ember corrected, "Also, Miss Justice, you have to be careful not to be discovered by someone with ulterior motives."

"Ah."

Audrey nodded slightly.

She was not stupid and of course she knew that the embers referred to the royal family.

Yu Jin killed four extraordinary people of the Arbitrator Path in Kapin's villa. The royal family will definitely send people to keep an eye on the extraordinary characteristics of the 'Arbitrator' Path circulating in the market.

Fortunately, Yu Jin didn't know the functions of these extraordinary characteristics before, otherwise he might have been targeted by the royal family.

Even though so much time has passed, there is no guarantee that the royal family has let down their guard.

Therefore, even if it is just one copy of Sequence 8 Beyonder Characteristics, its sale must be kept strictly confidential.

The reason why Yu Jin emphasized reselling rather than handing over was naturally because he did not want to expose the existence of the Tarot Club and himself.

After all, the embers are now far away in the Sonia Sea.

It couldn't be that he flew over and gave the Beyonder characteristics to Audrey, right?

"And one more thing."

Yu Jin waited for Audrey to digest the information before continuing, "What is the reaction of the Church of Evernight?"

"The words of the Church of Night."

Audrey explained softly, "I asked the captain of your team and he said you took a month off to go back to your hometown in Winter County. They didn't seem to suspect anything and it was no different from usual."

Ember nodded in understanding.

After all, he had called the police before he went there. Anthony should have arrived when he entered the painting world, and the man in the basement would definitely not be able to escape.

It was normal for the Church of Night to help cover up his "disappearance" afterwards. Since Anthony knew about the painting world and took the initiative to remind him, he must have guessed that he would enter it.

Although it is passive, the result is the same.

As for Al and the others not having any doubts, that's even more normal.

Anyway, I don’t usually go to work to punch in, so it doesn’t really make any difference whether I take leave or not.

This Tarot Club lasted for a relatively short time.

After all, everyone got what they wanted and had no special needs for the time being.

So after a few people exchanged ideas, Klein ended today's party.

Then, his eyes turned to an item on the long table——

It was a glowing object, like a child's fist.

This 'fist' is made up of three colors, iron black and dark red surrounded by large areas of silver-white.

This is exactly the 'Extraordinary Characteristics' that Yu Jin left behind before he left, hoping to 'bestow' it on Audrey through the Fool.

"Mr. Lover, please at least pretend to do it! This makes it very difficult for me!"

The corners of Klein's mouth twitched slightly, and he was somewhat speechless.

Others need to go through a sacrificial ritual to have the items sent above the gray fog.

But Embers don't need—

Coming to the gray fog was like going home for him. He could easily take something out of his 'soul' and throw it on the table.

But this behavior without any sense of ritual made Klein sigh inexplicably.

Even if you just pretend to do it, it’s fine!
At least you should pretend to do something!
