Mystery: Undead don't die from passing fire

Chapter 145 Klein: Digging the Grave!Graves must be dug!
In Hall's luxurious villa, the gray fog quickly faded before Audrey's eyes, and the figures of 'The Fool' and his lover had disappeared.

She came to the one-person tall mirror, pursed her lips lightly, and for the first time had the idea of ​​urgently improving her sequence due to factors other than her interest:
"Under the strict protection of Sequence 5 and a large number of Extraordinary, and Duke Negan, who is also a Sequence 6 Extraordinary, will be assassinated, let alone the father of an ordinary person. Although there are many Extraordinary in the family, and the Church of the Goddess will provide additional protection, but this is still not reassuring, Duke Negan's guards will only be stronger than this!"

"Furthermore, no one knows the reason why the organization sent people to assassinate Duke Negan. Just saying 'stopped their general trend' is too broad. Who knows if Dad will also be considered by them as a nobleman who hindered the general trend?"

"Come on, Audrey, advance to Sequence 6 and Sequence 5 as soon as possible, hide in the dark, and be the last line of defense for father, mother, and brothers!"

"Well, you can also ask Ember for help and buy some powerful magical items from him. But I don't have much cash right now, maybe a few thousand pounds can't buy any powerful magical items. However, you can discuss this directly with Dad, Negan The assassination of the Duke must have stimulated him, and he probably wouldn't mind spending money to buy some more powerful magical items."

"Duk! Tuk!"

Just as he was thinking, there was a knock on the door suddenly.

Audrey quickly cleaned up her expression, opened the door and found Hibbert standing at the door, and said with a somewhat excited smile:
"Audrey, I have some good news for you. Alfred sent a telegram. He will be back in two days!"

"Eh?"

Audrey was stunned for a moment, and said in a puzzled tone, "But isn't Alfred in East Balam? Why did he come back suddenly?"

Alfred is her second brother, Hibbert's younger brother, who has always served in the military.And a few months ago, he was transferred to East Balam to serve.Relying on his repeated military exploits in the colonies, his military rank has risen rapidly!
But generally speaking, officers sent to East Balam will stay there for at least one year.One is to accumulate qualifications, and the other is to establish more meritorious service.After all, on the North Continent, countries 'coexist in peace'.Let alone war, there has been no friction for hundreds of years.

This is a good thing for the people, but not necessarily for the soldiers who are eager to make contributions.So in comparison, Southern Continent is the best choice for soldiers.Because in the colonies of the southern continent, frictions and even wars between countries are acquiesced, so only there can be the fastest and most meritorious service.

Of course, the colonies on the sea can also quickly accumulate military merits, but this part of the merits is limited to the navy. After all, the army cannot deal with those pirate ships on the endless sea.

For Alfred, getting a higher military rank or even a knighthood by making as many merits as possible as soon as possible is what he wants to do most now, and what he should do most.Although this will separate him from his family for a long time, although it will not be able to keep up with the New Year's party and his sister's coming-of-age ceremony, it is all worth it.

Audrey originally thought that Alfred would at least wait until he had accumulated enough merit to allow him to obtain the title before returning to Backlund.At that time, he might come back with the rank of brigadier general or even major general, which is the best choice.

It's impossible for Alfred not to understand this truth, but why did he suddenly return to Backlund?It couldn't be because she didn't want to miss her coming-of-age ceremony, right?

"Isn't it good to come back?"

Hibbert asked rhetorically, and then said with a smile, "You don't have to think too much, he came back this time because of a transfer order from the military. And isn't it just right? There is still half a month before the New Year's party, and he will definitely be able to make it Go on. After all, that is your coming-of-age ceremony, Audrey!"

"Hmm~"

Audrey didn't reply, and seemed to be in hesitation.

Hibbert seemed to see through his sister's thoughts, and asked with a smile:

"Are you worried about Ash?"

"Eh?"

Audrey blinked.

"do not worry."

Hibbert chuckled, "Alfred's tailor is already designing dresses for Ash, even if Alfred comes back, this will not change. As for Alfred, he can wear the dresses he designed last year. Of course -"

Hibbert deliberately paused for a while, then shrugged, "I don't think he would mind wearing a military uniform to the New Year's Eve party. After all, for a young lieutenant colonel, it is undoubtedly a symbol of honor."

"That's it."

Audrey pretended to be relieved, as if she was really worried about the dress.But in fact, she was worried about another problem: Ember would assassinate George III at the New Year's Eve party, and if Alfred came back and attended the New Year's Eve party.Then will he be forced to join the war because of his status as a soldier, thus conflicting with Ember?

Audrey thought silently in her heart: "We must find a way to let them meet in advance, there should be time."

While thinking about it, another doubt emerged in the girl's heart:
"Why was Alfred suddenly transferred back to Backlund? Why him?"
-
Hillston, 117 Burningham Road.

Ember left the bathroom and came to the living room to meet Xio and Clarice who were busy preparing dinner.Dinner was ready, and Sister Kulala sat quietly and obediently at the dining table waiting for the meal.And Forsi was still lying on the sofa, putting on a facial mask that was said to be able to replenish water, and reading a book leisurely there.

"ember."

After the embers were seated, Xio sorted out his words, and said, "Recently, there was a new Extraordinary gathering in the Eastern District, and I was invited. This afternoon is the first gathering, and I also participated."

Hugh paused, then continued, "The point is, the organizer of the party called himself 'Mr. X'."

"Mr. X?"

Forsi also became interested, and asked curiously, "Aurora Society?"

Those who joined the Tarot Society have also learned a lot of secret information, and know that the envoys in the Aurora Society are named after Mr. A and Mr. X.The Extraordinary parties they often attended before were organized by Mr. A, but now that Mr. X came, it was hard not to make people doubt the other party's identity—and this suspicion was usually right.

No one else, because the members of the Aurora Society are all lunatics.They knew that they were wanted criminals, but they still made it known to the public under their 'real names' without any concealment or cover-up.It seems that they are not worried at all that there are official Beyonder informants among the Beyonders present at the meeting, as if they are deliberately waiting for official people to come to their door.

Of course, Fors wouldn't try to understand why they did this, after all, the thinking of madmen is always so incomprehensible.

"should be."

Xio nodded seriously, and said with a serious expression, "And he issued a commission at the first gathering, asking the Extraordinary who participated in the gathering to find the Abraham family or the extraordinary of the apprenticeship path. As long as there is any information related to the apprentice path Extraordinary, He will pay a high price for it.”

"apprentice?"

Ember's expression moved slightly. He had only met Mr. A not long ago, and learned from him that Mr. X had sneaked into Backlund secretly, with the purpose of finding members of the Abraham family.And now a Mr. X suddenly appeared, and he just happened to be looking for an Extraordinary from the apprenticeship path. This cannot be explained by a coincidence.

If it is Mr. A, Ember is actually not very interested, after all, Mr. A still has some role.But this Mister X obviously has no use value - on the contrary, his Extraordinary characteristics are of high value, after all, he is a Beyonder of Apprentice Path Sequence 5, and his Extraordinary characteristics can completely be made into a second 'Teleportation Ring'.

Moreover, killing the traitor of the Abraham family can also gain a favor from the Abraham family-although Abraham owes a huge favor now, no one can take too much favor.

Ember asked thoughtfully:

"When is the next party?"

"Every Thursday at three o'clock in the afternoon."

Xio explained, "However, he attaches great importance to Abraham's information, so that anyone who has this information can go to him at any time."

Fors murmured in a low voice:

"Why do people like to have parties at three o'clock in the afternoon? Luckily it's not Monday.

Ember thought for a while, and ordered:
"Forsi, take a chance to inform Mr. Dorian, and tell them that Mr. X from the Aurora Society is looking for them. Hugh, let me know in advance of the next meeting, and I will attend with you."

Forsi and Xio looked at each other, and said in unison:
"it is good."

"no problem."
-
a new day.

Early in the morning, Klein received 1000 pounds in cash, which was presented with the newspaper and smelled like ink. This was the bounty paid by the Heart of the Machine.This put Klein in a good mood, and he specially added root sausage to his breakfast.

Having lost the threat of the Apostle of Desire, Klein, who had nothing to do, was very relaxed, so he decided to go to the Kragg Club for lunch—since he owed a large debt to Miss Justice, this kind of thrifty housekeeping has become his practice.

After lunch, Klein silently praised his frugality from the bottom of his heart, then took a public carriage to the East District, changed into a worker's uniform, and went to the Bar of the Brave.

Klein came to the bar slowly and ordered a glass of Southwell beer, and at the same time asked casually:
"Is Kaspers Kalinin there?"

He came to find Miss Sharon, but the only channel he could reach Miss Sharon was Kaspers.

The bartender glanced at him:
"It seems like you haven't been here for a long time. Since the official large-scale crackdown on pornography more than a month ago, Kaspers has run away in fear. If you want to buy some items, there are new merchants now. "

"Who?" Klein asked casually.

"Old man, it's in billiard room No. [-]." The bartender said without looking up.

Klein got up immediately, walked slowly towards the familiar place, and knocked on the concealed door.

"Come in." A voice came out.

Klein entered the billiard room, looked at the boy standing by the table, closed the door smoothly, and said with a smile:
"Long time no see, didn't you go to Pritz Harbor?"

This boy is exactly the Ian whom Klein met when he first arrived in Backlund, and because he was involved in a series of troubles, he finally had to entrust Miss Justice to ask Mr. A to kill the ambassador of the Republic of Intis. end.

Ian restrained his astonished expression, and muttered, "I went to Pulitzer Harbor for two months, and found that those guys were barbaric and fierce, and they didn't have any humility and love for children, so I had to go back to Backlund and start over again. Do what you are good at. Later, Kaspers decided to run away and handed over the business and connections to me to inherit.”

Before Klein could speak, he added, "Mr. Detective, I've always kept in mind that I still owe you two requests."

Klein suddenly had a toothache, two requests!It's okay if you don't say it, but as soon as he said it, he remembered that he still owed Ember two demands.Although Ember was not in a hurry to ask him to pay it back, it made Klein even more anxious—he wanted Ember to owe him a favor, but it didn't mean he wanted to owe Ember a favor.

Although it was determined that Miss Sharon had given up on this stronghold with a high probability, Klein still had a few pleasantries with the other party. After all, leaving without doing anything would inevitably attract suspicion.

After leaving the bar, Klein boarded a taxi and headed straight for the East District.Looking at the gloomy weather outside the window, he felt a little emotional and embarrassed, but suddenly an illusory and erratic voice sounded in his ears:

"What are you doing?"

Klein's hair stood up for a moment, and he breathed a sigh of relief after seeing clearly who was sitting in front of him, and said with a helpless smile:
"Miss Sharon, do you always appear like this unknowingly?"

"Next time I'll knock on the window."

Sharon, who was wearing a gothic court dress and a small black bonnet, nodded without any emotional ups and downs. She paused for a moment and then asked with some doubts, "Have you been promoted to the Faceless Man?"

"Yes."

Klein admitted straightforwardly.

Klein didn't expect that Miss Sharron would be the first to see it, after all, they hadn't met a few times in total.

"Your changes are obvious."

Miss Sharron's tone was as calm as ever, "But in this way, you probably won't need the characteristics of Human Shadow anymore."

"Do you know where it is?" Klein asked with a twinkle in his eyes.

He also asked Miss Sharron to find the main material of the Faceless Man more than a month ago, but he didn't expect her to be in such a hurry.

"An ancient noble's tomb in Baiya Town."

Miss Sharron explained concisely, "However, if you don't lack the characteristics of a human-skinned shadow, it's best not to try to enter. It's very dangerous."

I just asked casually, I definitely won't go, after all, even Miss Sharron thinks it's dangerous, so it's definitely bad luck for him to go.

Klein complained in his heart, and asked casually:

"Do you know which ancient noble's tomb it is?"

Sharon said without pausing:
"His last name is:"

"Amon."

Klein's heart suddenly turned cold, and the figure in the black classic robe and the same-color pointed soft hat appeared in his mind, with a wide forehead, a thin face, black eyes, black hair, and a monocle made of crystal...

Klein was extremely impressed with this enemy who was trying to invade above the gray mist.Even his first thought was to inform Ember to dig Amon's grave!
