Secret: I can play two paths

Chapter 188 This is definitely the day I least want to recall in my life... It smells so good

It's not Star, you are just kidding, right?

Klein thought helplessly.

But after this voice fell, Klein was indeed embarrassed again.

Klein couldn't help but feel depressed:
He has been promoted to "Magician".

Why do I feel like he's still a clown?

But what Sta said was true. He had crossed two sequences in one day, which made him the strongest in history.

But the title of the strongest in history is really hard to bear.

So before Klein could be happy about his promotion, he could only glance at Star with a displeased expression.

Star pulled up a chair, sat down casually, raised the corner of his mouth and said to Klein:

"This is none of my business. Xiao Ke, you saw it too. I didn't say anything just now."

You are just quibbling... Klein couldn't help but complain in his heart.

Star didn't say anything, but who made that talisman?

This is not something Stata did...

Klein pondered.

However, what is the principle behind this new spell of Star that can actually make a sound?

Could it be that the corresponding words were set in advance like a recorder?
But, in that case, what use will this spell have in battle?

You have to know that if you want to collect spiritual materials and metals of corresponding fields to engrave talismans, the cost will not be too small.

Of course, Klein did have a flash of inspiration, thinking that this kind of spell could be used to facilitate communication in certain situations - but there would undoubtedly be very few such applicable scenarios.

If we use it to record sound and combine it with current camera technology, we can see if we can make a sound movie that can strike back across generations. Klein thinks there is another difficulty here. This kind of spell shouldn't be able to keep making sound for too long, right?
After making a movie, I don’t know how many of these talismans I have to use and how much money I have to spend...

It would be great if this idea could be followed. Klein felt that this kind of film and television technology would definitely make a lot of money...

Of course, Klein was just casually thinking about this idea right now. I wonder if he will delve deeper into this aspect in the future.

And Star didn't know that Klein had the idea of ​​developing film technology. After all, it had not progressed to the point where it could be used for photography.

When Star bought his own camera, he did lament that it would be great if he had a video camera. It would have been much easier for him to take “short videos” of Xiao Ke’s dark history at that time - delete it, this was just a joke Star had in his heart.

The main reason was that Star thought that if he had the photography skills and combined them with the "channel spell", he would be able to bring his series of works to the screen and better present them to more people.

The influence behind this would undoubtedly be huge. Not only could it help complete part of the role-playing, it would also be helpful in completing the ceremony for Sequence 5 to advance to Sequence 4.

It can be said that Klein and Star have the same ideas in this regard.

It’s just that Klein was a pauper’s desire for money, while Star, in addition to preparing for future promotions, just wanted to “have some fun”.

They haven't really put this idea into action yet, and it was some time later when Star brought up the idea again.

Klein was tempted by money and deviated from his idea. He was not as happy as before that his strength had increased by more than one level after his promotion and he had magical and diverse abilities to protect himself and escape.

Klein now has to face a very cruel fact—he has no savings at all.

Coupled with the series of events that just happened, Klein felt that this was definitely the day in his life that he least wanted to recall...

As he was thinking blankly, Klein heard Sta's familiar greeting:
"Xiao Ke, it's just a little joke, you won't be depressed, right?"

This statement is a bit exaggerated, but it seems to be correct.

After all, Klein was really hit hard.

Klein couldn't help but complain:

Is that a joke? This is clearly a tease.

But with Star's concern, Klein was not so discouraged.

He still confided most of his difficulties to Star.

For example, the worry about family, the hostility towards Ince, the distress about not having money...

Especially Ince Zangwill. Klein felt that if it weren’t for this person, he wouldn’t have spent all the 15,000 pounds.

In addition to this, Klein found it terrifying to think that Ince Zangwill was willing to overthrow Tingen City in order to obtain the holy ashes.

Did he get the villain's script? He deserves a beating...

Part of Klein's motivation for wanting to be promoted today was that he didn't want to feel powerless again when Ins tried to kill him.

It can be said that Klein bears a grudge against Ins, who caused his death once and even caused him to be separated from his family and colleagues. He will take revenge one day.

Of course, Ins also hated Klein.

After listening to this, Star thought silently for a while.

Star didn't want to say much about Ins, who became Klein's enemy in Adam's script.

If Adam hadn't saved Ins so that he could have a pen holder to store "0-08", Star would have wanted to hunt down this "gatekeeper" directly.

It just happened to provide him with extraordinary materials for the next potion.

As for the fact that Ins has already been promoted to a saint, if Sta were to catch Ins, Sta would not let him go.

If you can't win, why not gather people together for a just fight?
Of course, Klein could also kill him, we'll see what happens then.

After all, regarding Adam's script, without accumulating enough strength, Star does not yet have the ability to completely tear apart the arrangements made by the Angel King.

So Star avoided the idea of ​​having a direct conflict with Adam and just planned to start doing something that could be done well from the present.

With a gentle smile, Star looked at Klein, who was looking worried, with his black eyes and said:

"That Ince is in control of '0-08', which is indeed a difficult problem. But that '0-08' is also rebellious, and even if he recognizes you, he probably won't tell Ince directly."

"Of course, you are right to be cautious. With your current strength, you still have to avoid entering the sight of Ince and '0-08' again."

"What I can tell you is that Ince has already arrived in Backlund, and he won't know about your resurrection in Tingen City yet."

Klein couldn't help but feel relieved when he heard this, but he was still worried about Melissa and the others.

Knowing what Klein was missing, Sta also comforted him:

"There's even better news. As I told you before, I've already made arrangements for Melissa and the others."

"That is, if you want to see them, I can reunite you with them without attracting attention and without Ince knowing."

As soon as he finished speaking, Klein's eyes suddenly lit up.

No matter what, he "traveled" to this world. Even though he had a deep bond with his "fellow countryman" Star, he also had some of Klein's emotions and memories, plus they had been together for more than a month.

Zhou Mingrui, who was wearing Klein's skin, had already regarded Melissa and the others as his family in this world.

It feels so good to not have to destroy the bond.

Just when Klein thought that the next chapter would be one good news followed by one bad news, and that it might not be time to open champagne and celebrate at halftime, Star unexpectedly said something that warmed Klein's heart.

"Actually, you mean the fifteen thousand pounds you lost because of Ince."

"I was also negligent in this regard, and I bear some responsibility. Moreover, this action was jointly participated by you and me, the two hosts of the Tarot Club."

"so……"

After a pause, he saw Klein's reaction of sitting up straight immediately.

Star nodded in satisfaction.

It was not easy for Xiao Ke either. He also gained a lot of benefits from this incident. In addition, the creditor Xiao Ke owed was Miss Messenger.

Star then continued slowly:

"I decided to reimburse you part of the money."

Klein could hardly control the excitement on his face, and he stood up, feeling a little restless.

Great!
After experiencing the lows, I realized how difficult it is to have some savings.

For a moment, Klein felt that today wasn't that painful.

Even if only part of it is reimbursed, it means that there will be some money left for the next step of the plan.

Then Star asked Klein to calm down first, and continued:
"Don't be too happy yet. Probably one third of it will be reimbursed, which is 5,000 gold pounds."

"Besides, after this, you should help me with one more thing."

Huh? You have a four-digit deposit?
Klein was a little incredulous for a moment, and felt that his luck that day wasn't that bad.

Even Star was a little surprised.

I thought that after Xiao Ke became the "clown", I would not be able to see the real expression on his face. Sure enough, this guy gets excited so easily when he sees money...

Originally, Star had anticipated that Klein might hire a messenger lady.

Sta thought that there was no need to argue with Klein about saving Tingen City. He could charge half of the normal bodyguard service fee for Miss Messenger, or in other words, reimburse Klein for the extra 5,000 gold pounds over the original bodyguard service fee for Miss Messenger.

But this cannot be said in advance. We have to wait until Klein digests the "Joker" potion, so as to avoid a negative impact on his performance after Klein becomes rich.

Since Klein had already digested the "Joker" potion, Star had nothing to hide and brought out the idea.

After all, almost all of Star's assets are now stored in Klein's gray fog space. Even if Xiao Ke took some money for emergency, Star would not notice it. It is better not to let Xiao Ke be too "hungry" for money -

Star knew that Xiao Ke would not do such a thing as embezzlement, but Star also didn't want to ruin the relationship between them because of such a small matter.

Anyway, there is no cost to provide the "Tampering Spell" and "Recovery Spell" to the Courier Lady.

Of course, mainly from now on, the pile of gold bars, jewelry, antiques and other things placed in the gray fog space must be carefully counted and cleared.

Star didn’t think it was a big deal before, but he didn’t expect that the God of Poverty could spend a five-digit amount of gold pounds in such a short time. It would be better to give him his share.

However, Star thought strangely:
Not only did they reimburse Xiao Ke, but they also did this inventory work in the gray fog space.

Then wouldn't he become the accountant of the Tarot Club...

However, for the Tarot Club that Xiao Ke belongs to, it seems that the one who manages money is the boss.

Is this also an achievement?
Anyway, this feels good, right?
As we all know, warehouse manager is a role with many benefits.

Star smiled at his new identity and didn't think about it any more. He mentioned to Klein, who had calmed down for a while:

"By the way, do you want to go home and take a look?"

The key word "go home" brought Klein back from his thoughts.

“Going home?” Klein muttered to himself.

Klein knew that Star was referring to Melissa and Benson.

But Klein still thought of those modern days.

In fact, he never gave up the idea of ​​returning to his hometown.

It’s just that after people establish new bonds in the “other world”, they begin to gradually adapt to this new life.

Now, that bond is somewhat interrupted by a death that Star explains as a "disappearance."

If he finds a way to return to the modern world, he will probably say goodbye to Melissa and Benson. So should he just…

No, no, what about Melissa and Benson?
They are also my family in this world.

Klein immediately dispelled this idea in his mind.

If I find a way to go home later, I can say goodbye to Melissa and Benson formally at that time, instead of leaving without saying anything now.

Moreover, if he could continue to stay in touch with Melissa and Benson without implicating them, Klein also wanted to continue to reunite with them.

However, Klein didn't know what excuse he should use to explain to Melissa and Benson why he had been missing for such a long time.

Just now he learned from the clock hanging on the wall of Star's house that it was already nine o'clock in the morning:
This means that at least one day has passed since the battle that day!

I have been missing for such a long time, and I don’t know what Melissa and Benson think of me, and how the Nighthawks view me.

What excuse did Star come up with to help himself get over it?

As if he had seen through Klein's doubts, Star struck while the iron was hot and said:

"You don't have to worry about how to explain this to Melissa and Benson later."

"Don't worry about the files of the Church of Darkness. The Church of Darkness..."

After a pause, looking at Klein's expression, Sta didn't say anything specific about how to deal with it. He just said:

"The Church of Darkness has treated you as missing."

"As for Melissa and the others, I told them that you were a traitor sent to the Church of Evernight, and that you had found an excuse to fake your own death and then escape."

"Then they used an object to make them believe this statement temporarily for a period of time."

No, Star, I'm undercover?

Klein wanted to refute, but then he thought again and it seemed to be true:
He was the founder of the Tarot Club and also worked part-time as a Night Watchman of the Church of Night.

But what kind of spy war script is this? It's a little too ridiculous.

But it's just a temporary excuse, so don't take it too seriously.

Forget it, I’ll think about how to explain it later.

So Klein thought for a while and came up with his answer. He turned to look at Star and smiled.

"Then let's go, I want to see them too."
