Mystery: Lucky One

Chapter 291 Chapter 165 Messenger Summoner

"It's over... eh?" Bilt looked at Gehrman Sparrow with some surprise, but his smile froze when he noticed Alice following him in and closing the door.

Alice looked up at Bilt in confusion. After hesitating for a moment, she asked Klein, "Should I go out?"

A drop of cold sweat fell from Bilt's forehead and soaked into his eyelashes. He blinked subconsciously. The sweat fell into his eyes, which made him feel indescribable discomfort. However, he did not dare to reach out to wipe it. He half-closed one eye and said:
"No, no, you're just in time.

"Looks like it ended smoothly?"

Alice looked at Klein.

Klein nodded:
"Admiral Amyrius has returned.

"What about the rest of the reward?"

Bilt's smile brightened a little. He went to the safe himself, took out 500 pounds of gold coins and a blue cufflink, and wiped his eyes secretly.

Alice thought about it, but still did not expose him. She stared at the cufflink and her mind moved. Her spirituality merged with the spiritual world, and the function of the cufflink was revealed without reservation.

Alice touched her chin, turned her head and asked, "Are you going to the sea?"

This question was asked in Chinese. Bilt didn't understand it, and even if he did, he wouldn't understand the deep meaning behind it.

Klein, who was deeply influenced by Internet culture, realized that the "going to the sea" in this sentence had a deeper meaning. He glanced at Bilt, who had not spoken yet, and turned to Alice and said:

"I have already given my heart, body, and soul to you, Miss Fortune."

The words were also in Chinese, so Bilt continued to cooperate and remain silent, as if he didn't exist at all. After watching Klein in silence for more than ten seconds, Alice lowered her gaze to his waist.

Thus, this war without the smoke of gunpowder ended with Klein voluntarily admitting defeat.

Klein turned his head and looked at Bilt without changing his expression. He took the balance and the cufflinks and asked, "What does it do?"

Bilt introduced calmly:
“This is a magical item made from the murloc’s maw that you provided.

“It provides phantom scales that hide under your skin, making you as hard to catch as a fish, and helping you withstand a certain amount of damage.

"Besides that, it allows you to dive unprotected to at least 15 meters and move freely underwater for 10 minutes.

"It doesn't have a big negative effect, it just makes you more tired than normal in hot or dry places..."

"Grilled dried fish!" Alice's eyes lit up.

This... Bilt subconsciously looked at Gehrman Sparrow. It was obvious that this word was used to describe this crazy adventurer.

Klein turned to Alice expressionlessly, gave her a calm smile, and then said in a gentle tone:

"Get out."

When Alice received the order to get out for the third time, she still looked at the ground hesitantly, then walked obediently to the door and closed it.

Bilt watched this scene in amazement. After Alice closed the door, he looked at Gehrman Sparrow with awe. Just as he was about to speak, Klein reminded him:
"She can see and hear."

Bilt withdrew his admiration and changed the subject:
"It doesn't have a name yet, you can give it one."

After two seconds of silence, Klein glanced in the direction of the door and replied:

"Dried salted fish."

"...What a good name, very descriptive." Bilt responded with a dry laugh, and subconsciously glanced in the direction of the door.

He paused and continued, “The ‘craftsman’ said that he can solidify the ritual of summoning spiritual creatures on spiritual materials, which can last up to one and a half years, but you need to provide detailed information.

"Haha, according to the agreement, I will pay the money, you don't have to worry."

Klein thought for a moment, then turned toward the door and asked, "Do you have any suggestions regarding appearance?"

Alice, who was eavesdropping, quietly opened the door and came back in. Then she tentatively gave Klein an answer:
“Pokeball?

"This way, when you need it, you can throw it out and the courier will appear. It's very convenient..."

"Shut up." Klein ruthlessly rejected the proposal.

Alice covered her mouth obediently, then put her hands down and made another suggestion:
"Then you can also try Ultraman's transformation device..."

This time, Klein gritted his teeth and said, “Shut up!” before she could finish.

Although he didn't understand a few of the terms in the sentence, Bilt still inferred from German Sparrow's reaction that this was probably not a reliable suggestion, so he tactically remained silent.

Alice covered her mouth with her hand again under Klein's threatening gaze, and took a half step back to show her sincerity.

Klein retracted his gaze and said to Bilt as if nothing had happened: "Make it into a harmonica."

"So you like musical instruments!" Alice suddenly realized, "Why don't you try the Screaming Chicken..."

“Go away!” Klein turned his head and said one word to her.

Alice covered her mouth silently and took a few steps back again.

Bilt then understood that the harmonica was the final result of their "negotiation". He took out a pen and paper and asked German Sparrow to write down the ritual for summoning the messenger.

After taking the note, Bilt took a look and said:
"Messenger? This is quite rare. It is difficult for Beyonders outside the Death Path to find a suitable messenger.

“Hey, if I accidentally summon a messenger during the crafting process and need to give her a gold coin… what will happen if I don’t give her a gold coin?
"Haha, there are always some strange things about creatures in the spiritual world. I've seen some that particularly love music, and I've also seen some that linger around feces."

"The creatures in the spirit world have so many strange hobbies..." Alice murmured, "If you don't give it to me...if you don't give it to me, uh..."

She thought of the angel carrying four heads and said tactfully, "If you don't give it to me, He might come back with five heads..."

"...He?" Although he didn't understand the second half of the sentence, Bilt still questioned Alice's pronouns.

Alice blinked and replied:

"Yes, it's 'Him'~"

There is an angel as a bodyguard, and another angel as a messenger... Bilt took a breath, not daring to look at Gehrman Sparrow, and forced a smile on his face and said:

"Thank you for informing me."

"You're welcome." Alice waved her hand magnanimously.

Klein reached out and pulled her, and after she calmed down tactfully, he said, "We'll talk about the third item creation later."

Bilt nodded, then looked at the two of them and asked curiously:
"Mr. Hermann, how did you conceal the fact that Admiral Amyrius had mentioned Secretary Lueran, Governor Austin, and Miss Cynthia?"

Especially with this one with him... He glanced at Alice inconspicuously.
