Old John, who has shriveled skin and wrinkles on his face, is still wearing the same blue tabara shirt that has been washed white. He takes a bottle of wine and pours it directly into his stomach. His dark brown age spots are like wriggling
Xiao Chong, the wine flowed down the corner of his mouth. After burping, he slowly took out a note from under the bed and handed it to Rawls.
After receiving the note, Rawls did not read it immediately. His message exchange with Xio and Yin En was through the radio, and a code book was needed to know the specific content on it. The note was stuffed into his pocket, and he put the information in front of him.
On the side, he took out the next piece of information and said while reading:
"Old John, you'd better drink less. The wine won't escape."
The information he currently has is about the specific situation of Roen's members of the ruling class in the Zhongsonia Sea. In order to speed up the performance, he entrusted Old John to collect relevant information. The "King of the Five Seas" is doing the information on these people.
They have been collected, but they are mainly from island governors, naval admirals, bishops of the Church of Storms and heads of large companies, so I only need to briefly summarize them.
However, he has looked through several documents and found that none of these people are within his reach. It is too dangerous to use these top bosses to complete the role. For example, the one in front of him is Bayam Spice.
The head of the trading company, Quest Bayer, is just a millionaire from the above information, but his company has a monopoly on the spice business in the Central Sonia Sea.
The last one to do this was the Zhongsuya Company, which was an integration of Loen nobles, the military, and business. Quest Bayer's father was in charge of the spice field at the Zhongsuya Company. It was disbanded after the colonization of Loen.
But it split into many companies.
There must be nobles or naval forces behind Quest Bayer, and there must be Extraordinary protection around him. The rest of the people are similar, either they are powerful Extraordinaries themselves, or they are heavily protected by Extraordinaries.
Old John drank the remaining Longzi in the bottle in one gulp, put it on the table with a bang, wiped the wine around his mouth, and said in a slightly hoarse voice:
"I boarded a ship as a pirate when I was nineteen, and I got off the ship and came here when I was forty-six. I am seventy-four years old now. How many years can I live without drinking?"
Rawls shook his head. It's not that he couldn't "persuade" Old John, but that would be meaningless. He threw aside the information on Quest Bayer and picked up the next information, Vincent Hoffman.
——The owner of the "Gold Coin Casino" has an unclear but vague connection with the Governor of Byam, George Negan.
Old John glanced at the information and said with a smile:
"Vincent Hoffman was born in a family gang. His ancestors were exiled here. When his grandfather was still alive, he was responsible for handling some matters that were difficult for Zhongsonia Company to resolve. At that time, Luen and the people here
The rulers still have a cooperative relationship. Later, after Loen colonized this place, the Hoffman family had a good relationship with every governor, and Vincent was undoubtedly the best.
He didn't know what method he used. George Negan trusted him very much. Even though pirates often came to sell stolen goods in his casino, gambling, the Governor's Mansion, and the Navy did not arrest people in the casino. He should be an extraordinary person himself, with many losers.
The pirates who had lost all their money wanted to kidnap him and get their money back, but they were either caught by the navy or people from the Governor's Mansion, or they disappeared without a trace. There were many Sequence 7 Beyonders among them, and there were even rumors that he killed one with his own hands.
The reward is more than 5,000 pounds, the Sequence 6 'Windbreaker'."
A Sequence 6 "Windbreaker"? Rawls frowned. Then Vincent is at least a Sequence 6 Beyonder, and may also be a Sequence 7 possessor of powerful extraordinary items. Coupled with his relationship with the Governor's Mansion, in
Byam is definitely a tough guy to mess with.
I'm afraid we have to start with Olavi. Although there is a naval base and a governor's palace there, it is still much better than Bayam, an island with at least two demigods. Moreover, you can also investigate Auston Leavitt.
.But it will have to wait until the day after tomorrow. The transaction with "Hercules" Ozil will have to be done the day after tomorrow. There is a high probability that the person who buys large quantities of guns will be a pirate.
Since these pirates have needs, they will definitely not place their hopes on Ozil alone. As a real pirate, he will definitely have more channels at his disposal than a fake captain like "The Hanged Man" Alger Wilson.
Pirate captains with bounties of more than 3,000 pounds have a huge demand for guns and bullets. People like "Hercules" Ozil can't afford a pirate ship, let alone those cannons.
…
Back at the hotel, Rawls took out the code book and began to decipher the contents on the note. Since arriving at sea, he has not had much contact with Xio and Yin, and this is only the third time.
That's all.
The previous content was that Hugh officially joined MI9. Because the relevant information provided by Sharon showed his "talent" in interrogation, he was transferred to the "Pre-trial and Torture Team". The other one is also related to the Rose School of thought, "Temperance"
The "Sexualist Faction" ambushed members of the "Sexualist Faction", and Hugh participated in related investigations, but no clues were found.
As the message was gradually deciphered, the expression on Rawls's face became increasingly weird. Hugh was transferred from the original team and formed a secret investigation team with a group of newly joined MI9 members to investigate "Rogue Black".
"Emperor", what's more important is that this was personally ordered by the director of MI9.
He pinched his brows, and there was no problem for MI9 to investigate after the incident. After all, the deaths of extraordinary people with the "arbitrator" path were most likely from MI9. But why is the director of MI9
Will there be a secret investigation? Are all the team members new?
What does the director of MI9 want to do?
No, MI9 is affiliated to the military, and it must have as many factions as the military. As the head of the secret service, the director was afraid that he had discovered something fishy about Capping, and he didn't know who was behind it, so he found someone.
Appoint new people to investigate?
The person who succeeded Hugh's father, Mason Dill, was his deputy, who is currently the chief of the palace guard and has the corresponding authority of MI9. He knows the royal family's plan, so the possibility that the director of MI9 knows about it is very small.
Looking at the contents on the paper, Rawls' lips curled up. Since he knew that MI9 started the investigation and it was still the director who took the lead, he could blackmail Klein for a sum of money.
…
"Good afternoon, Mr. Fool~"
"Good afternoon, Mr. Emperor~"
"good afternoon,……"
"Justice" Audrey endured her curiosity and excitement, and did not rush to ask Mr. "Emperor" if he was related to the Kapin incident and what was the truth behind it.
Klein, who was shrouded in gray mist, nodded lightly, glanced at the "Emperor" next to him with some guilt, and found that there was nothing unusual about him, so he pretended to respond leisurely to the greetings of Miss Justice and other members, and then manipulated "
world", allowing him to act like a real person.
Although he couldn't peep into the expression of "The Fool", Rawls could feel that the two ladies opposite him were looking at him in a subtle way. I'm afraid they connected the "Black Emperor" with him, which made him more interested in blackmailing Klein.
I feel more confident.
Mr. "Emperor" may not admit it, or maybe he really has nothing to do with him. He is another one of Mr. "Fool"'s filers, but how would you know if you don't ask? Well, even if it wasn't him, he should know this.
Something happened, what would he do... Audrey looked around and observed the status of other members.
As a "mind reader", she quickly discovered some abnormalities:
Hey, "Sun" is very anxious. Something unexpected happened to the former captain of the exploration team? Did he meet Amon?
Also, Forsi was in a state of wanting to ask but not daring to ask... She should have read the newspaper and guessed from the tarot cards that Kapin's death was something Tarot would do, but she showed obvious concern for Mr. "Emperor"
Afraid, is he afraid of his identity as MI9?
"The Hanged Man" Alger turned his head and looked up, and said humbly:
"Dear Mr. Fool, I have collected three new pages of Russell's diary."
Rawls straightened his back and respectfully expressed that he had also received a new diary.
Klein responded with a smile:
"What do you want in exchange?"
After hearing the "Emperor" preemptively stating that this was what he should do, Alger's face suddenly turned ugly, even though he did not have any problems now, what should he do next?
"I said, I am a person who likes equal exchange, and you deserve this." Klein shook his head and refused. Even if it is an evil sect, it must encourage its subordinates, otherwise how can the organization continue to operate.
After hearing Mr. Fool's words, Alger breathed a sigh of relief, but still said that he had nothing to ask for the time being.
A smile flashed across Rawls' face when he noticed the change in Alger's mood. This was his useless reward for Alger's provision of information, although the 200 pounds was not paid for by him.
…
After letting the diary in his hand disappear, Klein calmed down, but he still felt uncomfortable. There was not much effective information in this diary, mainly about Russell's journey as a great navigator, but what made him uncomfortable was the four
Two of Zhang's diaries are forgeries.
Huh~, it’s not as good as rosy news...
"You can start."
"The Hanged Man" Alger immediately turned his head, looked at the "sun", and asked nonchalantly:
"Have you heard anything from the former captain of the exploration team?"
Next, Derrick, who was not very good at telling stories, dryly told what happened after the last tarot meeting. In the process, Justice and Magician were surprised, especially after listening to
After Mr. Fool actually sent her angel to purify Amon's clone, the body of the "Hanged Man" next to Rawls trembled with excitement.
Didn’t they always treat me as a god before? Why would I behave like this when I heard about angels? It seems that side proof is never as good as the deterrent shown directly... If any new members question me in the future, I will
Just be prepared in advance, let the "world" jump out and make nonsense, and then I will kill him with a finger, killing the chicken to scare the monkeys... When things calm down, I will create a new "world"...
Klein's thoughts gradually dispersed, but he also discovered that Mr. "Emperor" didn't seem too surprised. The Augustus family also has angels!
Derrick of the Sun couldn't quite understand the reactions of Mr. "The Hanged Man" and Miss "Justice". In his opinion, isn't it normal for a god, a great being, to be served by angels?
He waited for a few seconds and said:
"After Amon's clone was purified, I coughed up a small bug, which was exactly the same as the one in the dungeon before. Do you know what it was?"
With the help of "The Fool" Klein, the "Sun" successfully manifested into a translucent insect with twelve transparent rings on it.
"Justice" Audrey and "Magician" Forsi looked over curiously and shook their heads at the same time, indicating that they had never seen or heard of similar bugs.
"The Hanged Man" Alger thought for a while and said:
"It should be the carrier for Amon to create clones.
"In myths and legends, there is a kind of insect that looks similar to it and has twelve transparent rings. It is called the 'Insect of Time'. However, no one has ever seen the 'Insect of Time'. Many people doubt it.
This is actually the name of a sequence potion."
"The coat of arms of the Amon family is similar to a dial, but there is only one pointer. The twelve grids on it are not of the same size, and are interlaced with light and dark. This represents the power that the family controls, which is time. I have heard someone say, 'The thief'
'Sequence 1 of the pathway is 'Insect of Time'."
Rawls' tone was flat, as if what he said was not sequence 1, but sequence 9.
I heard someone said that Klein, the angel of the Augustus family, quietly glanced at the "Emperor". If this is the case, then his status in the Augustus family must be extraordinary.
"Justice" Audrey was shocked and began to think about the true identity of Mr. "Emperor" in reality. She was sure that there was no Mr. "Emperor" among the Augustus family members she knew. This was as an "audience"
confidence.
Are they descendants of Prince Sonia, the Duke of Southwell, or the descendants of that duchess... The Augustus family has been passed down for thousands of years, and Audrey only saw the more active ones.
Descendants of the brothers' children of successive kings rarely attended the banquet.
…
After Derrick's question came to an end, Rawls saw that time was almost up and faced The Fool and said respectfully:
"Dear Mr. Fool, I would like to communicate with Mr. World alone."
Alger sat up straight, looking back and forth between the two of them, communicating alone? Is the deal about the "Black Emperor" card not over yet? Or is there something else to discuss?
Since "Magician" and "The World" joined the Tarot Club one after another, he felt more and more that his presence in the Tarot Club was being weakened, or in other words, being squeezed out. Although this was just a feeling, it still made Alger
Somewhat alert.
"Justice" seems to be particularly close to "Magician". This may be because both of them are women, but "The World" doesn't know when it reached a private deal with "Magician". "Emperor" seems to be very interested in "Magician"
His attitude is good; "The World" presented the "Black Emperor Card", and Mr. "The Fool" must be very satisfied with him.
Alger made a simple calculation, and it seemed that the only one he could unite with was "The Sun", but "The Sun" had the same attitude towards everyone!
