Chapter 70 News From the Lingjiao Group (Thanks to CzLB Classmate Baiyinmeng)

160 Boklund Street, the residence of Dawn Dantès.

Klein stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, watching the pattering rainwater falling with the wind, hitting the ground, falling on the glass, and interweaving into a net.

Since the beginning of autumn, Backlund has started to rain again, which brought lingering coldness and humidity.

Klein didn't move for a long time. Looking at the blurred rain scene, he silently looked into the distance, his eyes unfocused.

It wasn't until he was inspired that he restrained the thoughts that were pouring like drizzle, and looked sideways.

Carrying four blond-haired and red-eyed heads, Reinette Tinekerr came out of the void while biting a letter.

"Who sent it this time?" Klein habitually asked Miss Messenger.

The last letter he received was from Sharon. This lady told him that she successfully passed the ceremony and was promoted to Sequence 4 "Puppet" of the "Prisoner" pathway.

Klein first congratulated him sincerely, and then told the other party apologetically that he had already got what he wanted, and he would not go to Calderon City in the spiritual world in a short time.

Of course, he also said that there is a lot of secrets hidden there, which may be related to himself, and there is a high probability that he will go there after a while. At that time, if Miss Sharon is free and willing, he hopes to get her help.

——As far as Klein is concerned, on the one hand, he might have to go there to find the materials for his future promotion; Even if the method of treating Mr. Azik's "spiritual disability" doesn't give this "Death Consul" a chance to be promoted, I hope he won't suffer from amnesia again and again.

Of course, Klein also has a plan for this, that is, wait for himself to be promoted to Sequence 3 "Ancient Scholar", and prepare more "Yesterday Reappearance" spells for Mr. Azik, or directly apply the corresponding extraordinary ability to help him every day. Amnesia was recovered quickly.

At this time, Klein had already received the letter, and the four heads of Reinette Tinekerr responded one by one:

"That..." "Undead..." "The..." "Fool..."

...Patrick Bryan of the Death Sect of the Spiritual Sect... Klein easily understood who Miss Messenger was talking about, because Patrick was the one who wrote him the most frequently in the past two months, basically Anything important will be reported and asked for instructions.

After so many times, Reinette Tinekerr gave him a nickname.

Miss Messenger has never shown any interest in this area before, and I don’t know when she started... Most of those who often write to me have nicknames, except for Miss Sharon... Klein muttered to himself as he unfolded the letter. , took a quick look.

Patrick Bryan said in the letter that this time the order from the Southern Continent is no longer to make him try to wake up the "ghost of death", but to prepare a special ceremony to help the angel of the death domain in the mausoleum, Hytel, the leader of the Artificial Death Sect, has further recovered, allowing him to leave the "self-sealed land" for a short time.

On the surface, such an order doesn't seem to be a big problem, it's just a little abrupt, but Klein still sensed something was wrong.

"The artificial Death Sect of the Southern Continent made Patrick continue to hold strange and dangerous rituals several times in an attempt to awaken the 'Death', but I told him to fool him with the excuse that the materials could not be obtained and the experiment failed in the end. Now, they finally suspect that there is something wrong with Patrick? Klein nodded thoughtfully.

He suspected that this was a temptation aimed at Patrick Bryan, through a ritual temptation directed at an angel!

—The range of the angelic response to the ritual is the whole world.

Well, as long as there is no doubt that there is something wrong with the artificial god of death, after all, they have inherited a large amount of inheritance from the ancient Balam Empire. Who knows if there is any way to influence the process of the goddess mastering the "uniqueness" of the "god of death" path, so that both parties Nothing will benefit... Klein analyzed for a while, then heaved a sigh of relief.

As for the temptation of the angel in the death realm, he doesn't think there is a big problem, because the "fool" can also mobilize the power close to this level to interfere in the form of "angel's embrace", as long as the person named Hytel The chief priest did not come directly, but exerted influence from a distance, and he could cleverly mislead.

After figuring this out, Klein shook his wrist, causing Patrick Bryan's letter to ignite a crimson flame. He returned to his desk, took out a pen and paper, and wrote:

"...You can follow your teacher's orders, but before the actual ceremony, you must report to me and get my permission..."

Because the reply interval was very short, Patrick Bryan probably hadn't left his original location. Klein didn't summon the other party's courier, blew the adventurer harmonica, and handed the folded letter to Reinette Tinekerr.

…………

In the sparse light rain, Xio was wearing a simple sap raincoat, hiding in a dark corner, staring at the side door of Viscount Stratford's house.

At this time, it was not evening yet, but the gas street lamps had been turned on one after another, emitting circles of hazy halos in the rain.

After a while, a taxi came from a distance and stopped in front of the remote side door.

The Viscount's servant who was hiding in a sheltered place jumped out immediately and opened an umbrella.

He protected the cloaked woman who got off the carriage, and quickly passed the side door, while the rental carriage stopped in place and did not leave, as if it had collected enough money.

Xio still couldn't see the woman's face clearly, but she was not depressed at all, and waited patiently in the cold rain, as if she had turned into a statue, motionless.

She planned to wait until the other party came out, try to track him down, and confirm his identity.

This is not only her chance to get the "judge" potion formula, but also related to her purpose of coming to Backlund - to investigate the truth of her father's death!

It is precisely because of this motivation that Xio persisted in monitoring Viscount Stratford until today. Other intelligence personnel of MI9 had already ended the mission on their own when nothing happened in the previous few months. Even the man in the golden mask who gave this commission at the beginning didn't ask about it for many weeks, and he obviously didn't take it to heart.

In Viscount Stratford's bedroom, a delicate and beautiful brown-haired girl in a silk nightgown sat in front of the dresser, fiddling with skin care products and cosmetics as if she had found a treasure.

The middle-aged Viscount Stratford, wearing a men's nightgown, walked behind the beautiful girl with wet hair, smiled and said to her in the mirror:

"Sherman, you don't need them to add extra luster to you."

"It's just a female instinct." The girl named Xueman raised her hand with a smile, and reversely held the palm of the Viscount's hand on her shoulder.

Viscount Stratford smiled gently:

"When you are playing with them, there is a feeling of innocence and purity, hehe, you let me regain my youth, just like returning to when I was seventeen or eighteen years old."

Without waiting for Xueman to respond, he said to himself:

"My wife has passed away for several years. I thought I would live like this until I was called by the Lord. Who knew that I met you. After a while, the pressure accumulated in Backlund will be released. I will find an opportunity to walk with you Temple of marriage."

"Marriage... you want to marry me?" Xueman froze for a moment, then asked back in disbelief.

Viscount Stratford smiled and said:

"Meeting you is a gift from the Lord. Although your background is not noble enough, I have already been married once, so I don't need to pay too much attention to this aspect. Of course, I will also find ways to improve your status. Well, first find a Merchant, let him recognize you as his illegitimate daughter..."

He babbled about his plan, and saw that the eyes of Xueman in the mirror were gradually covered with mist.

"The most valuable thing about you is that I treat you well, and you will treat me several times and ten times, and you will not hide it at all." Viscount Stratford lowered his head with a smile, and kissed the top of Sherman's head .

Xueman opened her mouth, seeming to be crying, but also laughing.

Until the light rain stopped and night fell, Xio finally waited until the woman in the dark red cloak came out and boarded the carriage.

After memorizing the characteristics of the carriage, Xiu wandered away, relying on the extraordinary ability of the "sheriff" and the conditions of the wet and deserted streets at night, to track the target by walking and running.

All the way from the Queens District to the Backlund Bridge area, when Xixiu's physical strength was almost unbearable, the carriage finally stopped.

Xio regained his energy, changed his target from the carriage to the woman in the dark red cloak, and continued to follow.

During this process, she was a little surprised to find that the woman had a strong anti-tracking ability, sometimes circling around, and sometimes making a stop with the help of obstacles.

However, it's hard to stop, she is an experienced "sheriff", she patiently followed from a distance and never approached.

Just when she intuitively thought that the woman was not too far away from her final destination and was going to catch up, she suddenly smelled a sweet and empty fragrance.

In this fragrance, Xio was confused for a moment, and then completely lost track of the target.

And the scent disappeared, as if it had never appeared.

"..." Xio's pupils dilated slightly, and he didn't dare to search around for traces.

In a rental house, the gentle and sweet Triss, who couldn't take her eyes off, looked at Xueman who was taking a selfie in the mirror and said:

"You seem to be in a good mood.

"Well, this last task is not too difficult to accept, right?

"When it's finished, you can leave Backlund and live the life you want."

Xueman was stunned for a moment, her expression became very complicated, she was a bit disappointed, as if she suddenly woke up from a beautiful dream.

She didn't turn her head, her lips moved for a while before she opened her mouth and said:

"He said he wanted to marry me..."

Triss raised her eyebrows immediately:

"A man can't be trusted at that time, you and I should be very clear about this.

"If he really wants to marry you, he won't guard against you and wants to have a child with you. Hehe, did he do that?"

Hearing her question, Xueman's expression darkened a little bit.

Triss stood up, smiled and said:

"I will not hinder you from pursuing your love. If you want to turn the duration of this mission into a lifetime, then you should think about what you want to do."

After she said this lightly, she walked to the door and left the rental house.

When going down the stairs, Triss suddenly stared at her shoes, laughed lowly, and said like mocking herself:

"love……"
