Mystery: A Spark

Since the Blood Pirates had provoked him first and almost killed him, he would definitely retaliate when he had the chance.

After thinking for a moment, Danitz looked up at Klein and said:

"The two of us definitely won't be enough to kill him."

Even though Gehrman Sparrow is powerful, he is still just one person. Even with him, it would be impossible for him to deal with Señor and his pirate crew.

“Of course, that’s why I’d like to collaborate with your captain.” Klein smiled slightly.

“Captain… I can write to ask, but I can’t guarantee she’ll agree,” Danitz said hesitantly.

“Okay.” Klein nodded.

Danitz immediately began writing a letter, explaining the whole story, and then used a ritual to summon the messenger, the spirit owl, before handing the letter to it.

Afterwards, he and Klein went out to spread the news of the sea god Kavituwa.

……

"Your friend wants to invite me to help him deal with Señor. What do you think?"

Inside the captain's cabin of the Golden Dream, Edwina, dressed as a businesswoman, looked at the blond young man in front of her and asked a question.

“I think there’s something fishy about this,” Arthur said with a serious expression.

"Oh? What's strange?" Edwina raised her pretty, delicate eyebrows.

“Well, what I mean is, Señor isn’t so easy to deal with, after all, he has the Rose School backing him up,” Arthur said, shrugging.

At the same time, he sighed inwardly, feeling that it was too painful for no one to understand the joke.

"So you mean you're refusing?" Edwina seemed somewhat surprised.

"Whether to refuse is naturally up to you, madam, but I think if you really want to deal with Señor, you'll have to find a suitable opportunity," Arthur said meaningfully, looking at the beautiful woman before him.

But Edwina didn't seem to understand what he meant, and simply said:

"It is said that around May, Señor's fleet encountered the Storm Church's ships, and the two sides parted ways after a not-too-fierce battle."

"Some time ago, the Blood Pirates had a major battle with the 'Twilight Admiral's' pirate crew and then disappeared without a trace. No one can find them now."

"More than May?" Arthur was taken aback.

“Yes, around the time we pulled you out of the water,” Edwina replied.

Arthur fell silent, lost in thought.

Edwina continued:

"So even if you want to kill Señor, you have to find him first. Although your friend has a radio receiver to monitor him, these things are still quite dependent on luck, and you never know when you'll get results."

"So we need to wait patiently?"

"Yes."

As Edwina answered, she took out a piece of paper, wrote down her thoughts, and then summoned a messenger owl to deliver the letter.

As Arthur watched the owl's figure gradually disappear, he abandoned the idea of ​​asking about the "prophet" and instead said:

"Madam, I have recently made some new discoveries about warlock magic."

"Oh? Tell me about it." Edwina's eyes lit up, and she skillfully took out her notebook and began to take notes.

"Is such that……"

……

"German, the captain has replied!" Danitz called out to his room as he returned to the hotel after spreading the news.

"Oh? What did your captain say?" Klein asked as he walked out of the room, carrying the radio receiver he had just taken down from the gray fog.

“Uh… she said to wait.” Danitz replied, both pleased and regretful, after reading the letter.

"Wait?" Klein, who was fiddling with the radio receiver, looked up at Danitz.

"Yes, because Señor's fleet and Bratov's fleet had a fight not long ago, and now they can't be found. Even if we use a radio receiver to listen to them, it's a matter of luck."

“Oh, Blatov is Lieutenant General Twilight,” Danitz said after folding the letter and carefully putting it away.

This is a letter written to him by his captain, so he must treasure it. Although the letter discusses important matters, that's not important.

“It’s alright, he can’t hide forever,” Klein said calmly.

He knew that Señor was likely backed by the Rose School, and as the Rose School's force at sea, Señor couldn't just stay inactive forever.

After all, if he backs down, what use is he to the Rose School?

Cults don't talk about tenderness and affection; they talk about dedicating everything to their Lord, including their lives and souls.

Therefore, Señor can't stay hidden for long; sooner or later he'll have to come out and do something.

"Tsk, Gehrman, are you going to continue eavesdropping tonight?" Danitz looked at the radio receiver that Klein was fiddling with, his face somewhat grim.

Klein glanced at him and said calmly:

"I'll keep watch for the first half of the night, so you shouldn't run into Arodes."

"Okay, okay, thank you very much." Danitz was overjoyed.

He felt heartbroken whenever he thought about what had happened a couple of days ago.

What was supposed to be a simple eavesdropping job turned into an encounter with a strange creature calling itself "Arods".

Moreover, as soon as this "Arods" appeared, he revealed his greatest secret through the radio receiver.

If Gehrman hadn't come out at that moment, Danitz would definitely have thrown a fireball at that damned receiver.

"Um... well, I'm going to sleep now, you can keep listening." Danitz rushed into the room as if a ghost was chasing him.

Klein ignored him, leaning back on the sofa and quietly watching the radio receiver in front of him.

His first encounter with Arrodes was during the Devil Murders in Backlund.

Klein tentatively touched the silver mirror and was then stunned by a little sycophant.

In the subsequent case of the Apostle of Desire, he encountered Arodes again, but this time he did not touch the silver mirror.

Unexpectedly, a couple of days ago, after I took the receiver off the fog, I received a message from Arrodes.

Klein was completely unprepared at the time, so he could only force himself to act mysterious and inscrutable, which barely managed to get by.

Later, when he came to his senses, he realized that this was a rare opportunity to obtain information.

So tonight, he waited patiently for Arrodes to arrive.

As he was pondering this, Klein heard a "tap tap tap" sound.

"My esteemed master, your loyal and humble servant Arodes is always ready to serve you."

Klein's face twitched; even though he had been through it once before, he still couldn't quite handle it.

"Ahem, Arodes, is there anything you can tell me about the messenger?"

Chapter 257 Edwina, who was almost killed by the injuries

When Klein left Backlund, he promised Benson and Melissa that once he settled down, he would find a way to contract a messenger and write letters to them.

Although he hasn't quite settled down yet—and as an adventurer, it's impossible for him to settle down completely—he has at least found a place to stay.

So it's time to hire a messenger to let your family know you're safe.

Of course, since he was just reporting that he was safe, he couldn't talk about the thrilling and exciting experiences he had along the way.

After all, family letters are meant to report good news and not bad.

"A messenger?" The receiver rattled and spat out a blank sheet of paper. "My great master, are you lacking a qualified messenger? Do you think I can be one?"

“No, you have a more important task to undertake.” Klein pondered for a few seconds, then replied with great emotional intelligence.

The real reason is that he is not yet willing to let others know about his relationship with Arodes, since this magic mirror, strictly speaking, actually belongs to the Steam Church.

If Klein were to appoint Arrodes as his messenger, he would certainly use it frequently to deliver messages.

What if the news leaks out one day and the Steam Church comes knocking on our door?

Wouldn't that be like the blond guy being caught cheating on someone else's wife by the victim?

Just thinking about it is kind of creepy... cough cough, kind of tragic.

So, Klein still wanted a more ordinary messenger, at least one that wouldn't cause any ownership disputes.

"Yes! Great master, Arodes awaits your mission!" At the end of this line of text on the white paper, there was also a simple line drawing of a fist clenched in a fighting spirit.

This guy has quite a few tricks up his sleeve… Klein muttered to himself, then asked his second question:

Do you know what the next sequence of Nightmare is called?

He wanted Horus to grow up gradually and follow in his footsteps.

As for Arrodes' rule that he had to answer one question in exchange for each question he asked, Klein didn't care too much about it.

Because he had discovered last time that this guy had a very flexible bottom line, and his methods of exploiting loopholes were top-notch.

Klein's answer to Arrodes' question about whether he could act as a messenger already fulfills the condition for this rule.

As expected, Arrodes didn't mention the rules at all and went straight to answering Klein's question.

“Great master, the question you used to test me was too simple. I should have answered your question in more detail.”

Actually, I wasn't testing you... Klein nodded, speaking with an air of authority:

"very good."

"The next sequence of Nightmare is called Soul Soother. Besides the Church of the Night, which has all the potion recipes for this path, the Spirit Order and the Church of War also have some of the recipes."

"Of course, as you, my great master, surely know, there are many magical potion recipes recorded on some strange objects, and organizations that possess such things will naturally also possess the corresponding recipes." The receiver printed out a long string of illusory white paper filled with words.

I see. It's not surprising. As an adjacent pathway to the Night Path, it's quite normal for the Spirit Order and the Church of War to possess some of the formulas for this pathway... As for the artifact that Arrodes mentioned that records the potion formulas, it should refer to the Blasphemous Tablet and the Blasphemous Token made by Roselle... Klein looked at Arrodes's answer with a thoughtful expression.

In that case, he might as well ask Mr. Azik if this big shot had any recipes for Soul Soothers.

He also planned to ask the big shot about the specific summoning ritual for the messenger, as this was a matter that could not be taken lightly, so he did not intend to get the answer from Arodes.

After all, Klein trusted Mr. Azik more than Arrodes.

"Great master, are you satisfied with these answers?" The receiver started beeping again.
