Chapter 16 The Bard

"Ace of Hearts... Well, I can play a 2 alone, and then a straight..." Klein flicked his wrist and flexibly threw out the card in his hand, an Ace of Hearts.

Straight into the forbidden deck.

Luo Yao, who was sitting opposite, suddenly had a smile on his serious expression, and his right hand slowly pulled out four cards from the deck held in his left hand.

Four 6s, bomb!

Klein froze on the spot and looked to the other side. Leonard, who was also "fighting evil", found that the other party also had a surprised look on his face. The expression on his face seemed to say:

"Why don't you have a 6?"

The corner of Klein's mouth twitched. He was just about to look for another chance, but found that Luo Yao had already taken advantage of the victory to pursue it, and threw out a group of three with one, and "evil" won.

"Obviously I went out for divination today and said that I would have good luck..." Klein threw his cards forward, leaned on his back, and sighed.

At this moment, Dunn Smith knocked on the door and entered, looked around and said:

"Leonard, there is a problem in Morse Town. You go and deal with it."

Morse Town? Klein straightened up and asked casually while tidying up the messy pile of cards in front of him:

"Captain, what happened there?"

Dunn glanced at the people at the table and explained casually:

"The priest of the local church reported that in recent days, several serious haunting incidents have occurred. Although there were no casualties, several villagers were frightened and fell ill. They all claimed to have seen some ancient ghosts.

.”

"Dead soul?" Luo Yao, who was packing up the copper pennies, raised his head and asked.

Dunn found a chair at random, his gray eyes were deep and deep:

"Yes, there are knights in black armor, girls in formal dresses, and an old blind man. That's what the local priest said in the report."

"Could this be a resentful spirit that was accidentally awakened by someone? Just like the time in Ramd Town, but it just woke up not long ago and is still relatively weak?" Klein asked tentatively with a tone and expression that he had repeatedly rehearsed.

road.

Dunn nodded slightly, thought silently for a while, and then said:

"It is indeed possible. So Cornley, you go with Leonard and bring some decontamination bullets..."

When Klein heard the captain's addition, the muscles on his face twitched slightly, he made a pensive expression, and added thoughtfully:

"Captain, last time we relied on your 'dream' to hold back the wraith, but this time you won't go with us... Well, I think I might be able to help with this. Let's

If the three of us go together, we can use 3-0782, and we can use this sealed artifact to completely eliminate the innocent souls."

Klein said this, adjusted his posture, and said seriously:

"Moreover, you once said that what I lack has always been experience. I think this is my opportunity to accumulate experience."

The rest room fell into silence. Dunn looked at Klein without saying a word, his gray eyes full of inexplicable meaning.

I won't use too much force... Klein thought to himself, adjusted his expression again, looked at Dunn Smith with as sincere an expression as possible and said:

"Captain, what's your opinion?"

Dunn remained silent for two seconds, and then took a long breath:

"Actually, you don't need to be so nervous. You can accumulate experience after promotion. It may be safer that way. But this is indeed an opportunity. You should prepare an application report immediately. After I sign it, I will discuss it with Renner.

Let them go to Morse Town together."

Good! Klein cheered in his heart, but he had to maintain his caution and dignity on the surface. He could only leave the entertainment room quickly without noticing Leonard's scrutinizing gaze behind him.

"Hey, Captain, I'm going to get some decontamination bullets, so I don't need to apply, right?" Leonard asked with a smile.

Dunn gave him a strange look and casually responded: "Of course not."

Leonard picked up a copper penny with his fingernails, swirled it in his hand casually, and followed Klein's footsteps out of the entertainment room.

When he walked to the corridor and made sure that no one was there, he looked in the direction of the door of the civilian staff's office with a serious expression and asked in a low voice:

"Old man, did you find anything wrong with him just now?"

Then he turned his head, and soon his cheeks were stained with crimson. He muttered under his breath and turned around to go to the weapons warehouse.

............

Because Klein had not yet learned to drive a carriage, Leonard and Cornley could only take turns driving the three-hour journey from Tingen to the town of Morse.

"This carriage is still too small." Crane pressed his back against the rear cover of the carriage, rubbing the sealed artifact 3-0782 in his hand, and complained in his mind.

In order to prevent the negative effects of Sealed Artifact 3-0782 from affecting everyone, Klein could only huddle himself tightly at the back of the carriage, so that Leonard and the others barely escaped from the radiation range of "Praise the Sun".

"...The purification effect won't affect the horses, right?" Cornley asked uneasily.

Leonard beside him suddenly smiled, hugged Cornley's neck, and said in a low voice:

"Of course not. Only highly intelligent creatures will be affected. In other words, as long as you become stupid, you will no longer be affected by this sealed object."

"That means I'm quite smart..." Cornley's nervousness relaxed slightly, and he even made a joke.

Seeing that he had successfully relieved Cohen's tension, Leonard let go of his left arm hanging around Cohen's neck, and then joked:

"Perhaps among all the extraordinary people, only the lunatics of the Aurora Society are not afraid of this negative effect. After all, they have listened to the true Creator's ravings for so long that their brains have deteriorated and their IQs are not much higher than those of horses."

Klein was listening to the conversation between Cornley and Leonard in the corner of the carriage, thinking about his current aggrieved posture, and thought maliciously:

"Maybe my poet classmate will never be able to compose poetry and his brain will deteriorate."

At lunch time, they finally arrived at the small town of Morse.

Because they want to avoid the negative effects of 3-0782, Leonard and Cornley can sit in front and distance themselves from others when it is their turn, while the other person goes to the back and squats like Klein, while Klein can only remain

I squatted in the corner of the carriage for three hours.

Cornley noticed that Klein hadn't gotten out of the car yet, so he opened the front curtain of the carriage. He found that Klein was holding on to the inner wall of the carriage with a painful look on his face, his legs were trembling, and he tried his best to overcome the twitching in his legs.

and pain.

With the help of Cornley, Klein carefully stepped out of the carriage, only to find that Leonard was already standing directly in front of him, performing a knightly salute with a joking smile.

Klein glanced blankly at his current posture and found that he was no different from the ladies he had seen in movies!

No, there is still a difference, I have no money... Klein shook his head, forced himself away from Cornley's support, limped away from the carriage, and whispered in his heart:

"Poet classmate, next time you fail to write a poem, I will definitely not show any mercy, and I will tell Luo Shan all the details."

Confused by the strange atmosphere, Cohen stood there blankly, not knowing what was happening for a moment.

At this time, a middle-aged man wearing a black priest's uniform walked over slowly. When the distance was closer, he skillfully drew a crimson moon on his chest.

"Praise the goddess, are you the friends sent by St. Selena Church to help us?"

"Yes, Priest Siel, praise the goddess." Leonard put away his ungrateful expression and responded with a smile: "We are here to help deal with this haunting incident."

Si'er looked at the handsome man with two unbuttoned shirts and messy hairstyle in front of him, and nodded doubtfully. After seeing that the man attracted many townspeople to approach him, he hurriedly emphasized: "Suspected, suspected

.”

This town is not big in size. Just when Klein and Leonard were joking with each other, most of the townspeople had already gathered. They were either tiptoeing or eavesdropping, and they had already surrounded Klein and his carriage.

It was all over the place.

Leonard saw that the townspeople had almost arrived, so he took out a set of "ghost exorcism" equipment from the pocket of his gray coat, showed it in his hand, and said loudly in an operatic accent:

"Priest, we brought holy water, silver daggers and garlic, as well as the dark holy symbol symbolizing the goddess. We were entrusted by the church to come to solve everyone's worries. We are absolute professionals."

Klein looked at the other party's exaggerated performance with a surprised expression, and then looked at the commotion in the distance, and couldn't help but start to panic.

Priest Sear froze on the spot. Looking at the other party's uninhibited outfit, he began to wonder if St. Selina Church had sent a bard.

Then he heard cheers from behind, as well as happy and relaxed laughter.

Leonard looked at the feedback from the crowd in front of him, smiled with satisfaction, walked to Priest Siel, and whispered in his ear:

"That's what they believe. The more it's the same as in the folklore stories, the more at ease they feel..."

Then he took two steps back and said with a smile:

"We spent too much energy on the road. Why don't we have lunch in the church now and deal with those scary ghosts later."

Priest Siel nodded blankly, turned around and led the way for the three church members from Tingen.

Cornley took this opportunity to get close to Leonard and asked in a low voice:

"How do you know those people believe this?"

Leonard still had an indifferent smile and said casually:

"When I was a child, I lived far away from the city, well, to be precise, far away from the city, so I often sneaked away to play in nearby towns. I don't see this kind of thing too many times, especially old men and old ladies.

, they believe this.”

Cohen nodded confusedly, but Klein, who had been following Leonard just now, was thoughtful.

However, his attention soon shifted from this matter, and he looked forward to the opportunity to contact 3-0782 alone during lunch and afternoon. If successful, he would gain his greatest support.

I hope everything goes well. As long as those "supernatural incidents" are dealt with, I can take action when it is time to guard 3-0782.

After all, the spells in the sun domain are most effective during the day. If I miss this opportunity, I will have to trouble Mr. Azik... Klein followed Priest Siel quickly while looking forward to it.

thought of.
