Mystery: Beginning with the Warrior Path

Chapter 168 The Secret Party

On Saturday morning, Klein, who had just made himself a breakfast full of childhood memories, was about to finish eating when he heard the doorbell ring, and the tinkling sound continued to echo.

Klein took off the napkin, wiped his hands, and walked to the door.

When he opened the door, he saw a middle-aged gentleman with gray sideburns, a thin face, and an outstanding temperament.

That was the private investigator who was invited by the police, Isengard Stanton.

He smiled and explained why he came to seek Klein's cooperation.

"Cooperation?" Klein didn't hide his astonishment.

Detective Essinger tapped his black cane, and replied in a deep voice:

"Find the murderer of the recent serial murder."

"The police have offered a reward of 4000 pounds."

£4000...

Roman, who didn't know that because of his own reasons, the bounty of the "Devil Dog" had doubled from the original history, was having breakfast with Arya and Mr. Downton.

As a half-host, Roman invited Mr. Downton to enjoy the authentic Fenbo noodles of Loen~
There is also what Roman likes very much, Backlund's authentic, Dixie pie...

In short, several people ate very satisfied.

Just as Roman was about to start today's wool gathering, ah no, it was a great cause of study, when he suddenly felt that he had been patted on the shoulder.

Roman's hairs stood up immediately, and then he felt something added to his right hand.

Before Roman could respond to the enemy, the abnormalities around him disappeared instantly, and Roman saw an extra letter in his hand...

After carefully opening it, I found that it was sent by Emily, and told me that it would arrive in Backlund Yunyun in a few days.

So, it was Miss Cecina just now?

This was the first time that Ms. Cecina delivered a letter to herself when there was someone nearby. Was it so scary?

Emily mentioned Hannah in the letter, saying that it was not convenient for her to write to herself recently, so that she should not worry too much. She joined a lady and is doing well now.

Although Emily herself is just a "gravedigger", she is also relatively good at fighting, so she doesn't need to worry too much about her safety on the road.

In the current safe route, it is rare to encounter pirate ships.

As the sea area for ironclad training continued to expand, the pirates' activities along the coast of Loen and in the offshore area became smaller and smaller.

Especially during a training voyage, I ran into a relatively famous pirate group. The captain offered a reward of 2700 pounds. It was a medium-sized pirate group that was notorious in the Sithonia Sea.

As a result, the destruction was extremely rapid, and the speed and firepower of the ironclad ship made the pirates fearful.

The reputation has slowly spread from the small area of ​​Sonia Sea to the entire Five Seas.

All that's left is an iconic, declared campaign.

So the nearest safe route is really safe, and on the ship, although Emily looks a little thin, her real strength is definitely more than that of a well-trained adult male. With extraordinary abilities, Roman is still quite at ease.

However, after waiting for Mr. Downton's commission to end, Roman still planned to go to Pritz Harbor, where he waited for the arrival of his teammates.

At night, the South District of the Bridge, Rose Street, Harvest Church.

Relying on his own uniqueness, Klein maintained his sobriety and reason, and walked out of the dream-like and illusory world of the lowest layer of Father Utravsky's mind.

Behind him, the corpse was wrapped in red, the flames were burning, and the world disintegrated inch by inch.

"Arsonist" and "Magician" really are a wonderful match.

Klein just had time to say this with emotion when he found himself back in reality, saw the strange candle in his hand, and saw its pitch-black candlestick and pale flame.

The priest Utravsky who was originally standing on the opposite side was sitting on the chair in the first row, with his back bent forward, his head buried, and his hands tightly covering his temples.

He looked up at Klein, his eyes were filled with tears, but his eyes were full of sentimentality, joy, and clarification.

At this moment, Klein seemed to see a newborn baby.

The corners of Utravsky's mouth curled up a little bit, and he smiled kindly:

"You are much stronger than I expected."

"No, it's just because I had enough understanding in advance and prepared accordingly. In the past, you not only didn't know what your opponent was good at, but you were also weakened a lot."

"If I were to fight like this with you in the real world, what I should consider is how to escape."

Klein answered very frankly.

Then, he unconsciously said:
"What's more, I didn't expect you to be weakened so well. The 'Dawn Knight' in my impression is much more powerful than you."

After finishing speaking, he realized what he said, and coughed dryly:
"Sorry, Father." He said, calmly taking off the dark red glove on his left hand.

"It's okay, thank you, my friend."

Naturally, Roman didn't know that he was being used by Mister Fool to mock Father Utravsky, and he was accompanying Mr. Hilde Downton to a secret party in Queens.

When Roman heard the news of the party, his first reaction was to refuse. Since the divination revealed that it would be dangerous recently, he should just stay at home honestly.

However, Mr. Downton's two reasons still convinced Roman.

First, things like fate do not mean that you can escape by dodging. Since it is certain that you will face danger in the next few days, blindly procrastinating and avoiding will only delay or even aggravate the danger.

One of Mr. Downton's inadvertently revealed "the rule of 'astrologers' is not to blindly believe in astrology, but to be in awe of fate."

The second thing is that this time we are going to Queens, where the nobles and the top rich people live, and the security force must be very strong. If there is really danger there, it is relatively controllable.

Roman felt that something made sense.

Moreover, because of the serial murders and the fact that the Aurora Society previously claimed to be responsible for the assassination of Intis's ambassador to Loen, Bakerland, rumors have been tight recently, and there has been no decent extraordinary gathering for a long time.

Mr. Downton also accidentally saw news of this secret gathering in the newspaper today.

When Roman first heard about Queens, he thought it was a party organized by Mr. A, but after asking Mr. Downton, he found out that it was not.

On the one hand, Mr. A should still be avoiding the limelight. After all, he had assassinated Ambassador Intis before, and the real Creator wanted to descend. The three major churches and the Loen military are extremely strict in their pursuit of the Aurora Society. In a short time, they should None will show up.

Moreover, Mr. Downton is an Abraham who has a deep hatred for the Aurora Society, so he should not think about participating in the extraordinary gathering organized by them.

This party was organized by a Extraordinary with the title of "Duke", and it spread in a small area in Backlund, and the participants had to be introduced by acquaintances. It was relatively a relatively small and high-end party. (Note 1)

Mr. Downton suspected that there were real nobles or noble children participating in this party.

The party that did not appear in the original book is also a little curious, but I don't agree with the high-end that Mr. Downton said.

In the Extraordinary World, whether a party is high-end or not depends on the sequence and strength of the participants, not on whether he has aristocratic status.

Moreover, if it is really high-end, with the participation and organization of a distinguished nobleman or lady, then Miss "Justice"
How could you not know your identity?
The lady of the "Justice" family is a real nobleman, and there are not many ladies who are more noble than her in Loen.Moreover, when Roman heard the title "Duke", his first reaction was that this is not very auspicious...

It doesn't sound like a real noble, at most a young nobleman, or a descendant of a rich man,

Such a title was deliberately given to divert other people's attention.

Amidst Roman's secret complaints, he and Mr. Downton came to Queens of Backlund.

　Note 1: Mr. "Duke", it is a small selfishness of mine, and it can be regarded as a tribute to the Dimensional Wall.
