His completely different attitudes not only made Klein feel very confused and wary, but even Audrey and Alger, while being frightened and awed by the aura of this high-ranking person, couldn't help but have the same doubt:
Is this gentleman a patient with schizophrenia?
After a moment of silence above the gray fog, Klein did not reveal his identity because of the accident just now. In his opinion, the "secret" mentioned by this gentleman should have some connection with him anyway.
He kept his calm voice just now, without showing any timidity, and asked tentatively:
"Of course, if you formally propose, I can let you leave now."
"But, you seem to know me?"
"What?"
Gray Linte pretended to say "I don't understand what you are talking about at all", as if he had completely forgotten the scene just now.
His rhetorical question left Klein speechless. He wanted to retell the scene just now and ask Graylint in detail, but he felt that this was not in line with his image as the master of this place.
It was inconvenient for Klein to ask, but Audrey had no scruples. She immediately described the scene just now in detail and asked:
"You seem to have forgotten what just happened?"
Grayling nodded and replied thoughtfully:
"I think I understand what this is all about."
As for what he understood, he did not elaborate, leaving them to figure it out on their own.
But no matter what, Klein was basically certain that this gentleman probably didn't know him. Maybe other beings had peeked in here just now.
At this time, Alger calmed down, believing that since the mysterious man could do such miraculous things, he would be unlikely to deceive them with lies again, so he tried to say:
"Your Excellency, your attempt is really amazing. I wonder if you have anything else that requires our cooperation?"
Although he has rich experience in the mysterious world and is cautious enough not to act rashly, he also understands that in this situation where he is completely controlled by others, the safest way is to try his best to cooperate with the other party.
"I don't know either. I just touched those dark red stars out of curiosity."
At this moment, Klein, who inexplicably felt that standing like this and having a conversation, felt that it was very low-level. As his thoughts floated around, the gray mist suddenly materialized the long table and high-backed chair he had imagined.
He himself was sitting at the top, and below him were Gray Lint and Audrey sitting opposite each other. Next to Gray Lint was the dark blue-haired Alger.
"It's amazing!"
When the blond girl saw this scene, she sighed even more sincerely. Unexpectedly, at this time, the mysterious man at the top, Mr. Klein, felt even more magical than she did. He had just thought about it casually, but he didn't expect that the gray mist
Such detailed things were directly embodied, perfectly in line with his expectations.
Just when Klein was unable to answer Alger's question, Gray Lint took the initiative to guide the topic and said to Alger:
"Such an attempt is very meaningful. Above this magical gray fog, whether we are trading items or exchanging information, it will be very convenient and hidden.
And with this powerful Excellency as a witness, I think we can all have considerable trust in the information given by others.
So, Your Excellency, would you mind serving as our witness and trying this a few more times?
By the way... I haven't asked you yet, how should we call you?"
His next words were of course directed towards Klein.
While his thoughts were spinning rapidly, Klein tapped his right index finger on the table and responded nonchalantly in words that suited his identity:
"one little thing."
Immediately afterwards, he took back his right hand, crossed his fingers and put it on his chin, smiled and said in a calm tone:
"You can call me..."
"The Fool."
Fool...
An unexpected but very mysterious, powerful title echoed in the ears of Audrey and Alger. This title perfectly matched their understanding of Klein, making them suddenly feel as if this was how it should be.
"So……"
Audrey spoke softly, stood up from her waist, bent her knees slightly, saluted Klein, and then said:
"Dear Mr. Fool, as a party interested in long-term development, should we give ourselves a code name? After all, we cannot communicate with our real names."
What she was wary of was not the magically powerful "Mr. Fool", but the two ignorant guys opposite.
"good idea."
Klein affirmed succinctly.
Next, as expected, Audrey suggested using the main Tarot card as a code name, and happily chose her own code name:
"justice."
"What about the two gentlemen?"
She then asked.
I don't know whether he was dissatisfied with Audrey for limiting the code name to Tarot cards or something else. Alger frowned slightly at first, then relaxed and said:
"The Hanged Man."
Symbolizing sacrifice, Klein nodded secretly.
At the same time, he saw Gray Lint from the side pondering for a moment, and then uttered a word with a little solemnity:
"emperor."
emperor.
Klein recited it silently, and then said nonchalantly:
"Okay, you continue."
He was very attentive, but on the surface he tried his best to act like he was listening to a child telling a story.
Emperor... Alger also repeated it in his mind. Thinking of Gray Lint's majestic voice and high-ranking aura before, he couldn't help but show a thoughtful look. He looked at "Justice" Audrey opposite.
Miss found that he had no intention of speaking, so she took the initiative to ask "Emperor" Gray Lint:
"Mr. Emperor, since you took the lead in making the request for a gathering, what do you need?"
The extraordinary characteristics of "Corrupted Baron"...
Gray Linte replied in his heart, but he also knew that this was not something they could take out. It would have no meaning other than exposing his serial level.
So he said without answering the question:
"You look like you are no stranger to the ocean area, Mr. Hanged Man."
He didn't ask too directly, and didn't directly guess that he was an Extraordinary from the Church of Storms or a pirate, for fear of arousing Alger's vigilance and resistance.
After receiving his recognition, Gray Lint put forward his demands:
"I need all the intelligence on Vice Admiral Hurricane and his men, as well as their contact points on land."
In fact, his real target is Misor King, the "Smooth Talker".
Qilingos's enemy? This "Emperor" is a strong man in the mid-level? He also often moves in the sea area?
Alger quickly thought about the potential meaning of Gray Lint's words and made various guesses.
At this time, "The Fool" Klein was still in a state of complete confusion. Tingen City is an inland city and paid very little attention to the sea. In addition, the original Klein was not interested in things like adventure.
, which resulted in him not knowing what "Hurricane Admiral" was at all.
Audrey, on the other hand, knows something about the seven pirate generals, but she only knows this name:
"Is it one of those seven pirate generals?"
Alger nodded and answered affirmatively:
"Yes, his name is Zillingus."
After briefly explaining to Audrey, he didn't want to reveal that he knew Chilingers very well, so he pretended to be embarrassed and said:
"I can help you investigate, but it will take some time. You know, 'Hurricane Lieutenant General' Qilingos is very dangerous. He is a strong man in the middle sequence."
"Medium sequence."
Audrey blurted out in shock, and couldn't help but look at Gray Lint again.
In her knowledge, the middle sequence may be Sequence 7, but it may also be Sequence 6 or Sequence 5. No matter which level it is, it shows that this "Emperor" is powerful enough.
"What's going on in the middle sequence?"
Although Klein listened very attentively, without Alger's knowledge, he still doesn't even know about the sequence pathway.
"Okay, what kind of reward do you need?"
Grayling nodded, expressing his understanding of Alger's request.
Alger seemed to be prepared for this:
"Ghost shark's blood, at least 100 ml. In addition, this is only the cost of the preliminary investigation. If you want very detailed contact points, you will need to pay additional fees later."
After all, the target was a pirate general with a Sequence 5 combat power, and the reward proposed by Alger was quite reasonable. Knowing in advance that Gray Linte might be a mid-Sequence strongman, he naturally did not dare to blackmail the opponent.
This is not out of fear of his strength or fear that he will cause trouble for him in the real world.
With Mr. Fool's mysterious method, as long as he was not exposed, Alger basically had no worries about Gray Lint knowing his true identity.
The reason why he didn't dare to blackmail was that as a powerful person in the Gray Lint sequence, he would definitely have many channels and resources in his hands. If he dared to blackmail a sum now, there was no guarantee that he would be cheated by Gray Lint in the future.
Lin Te blackmailed him even more severely.
After all, judging from Mr. Fool's acquiescing attitude, this party is obviously going to develop in the long term.
"Okay, I'll keep an eye on it for you."
As soon as Gray Lint finished speaking, he heard Audrey say:
"I'm pretty sure I can get enough ghost shark blood."
She vaguely remembered that there was a large bottle of this stuff in the treasure house of Backlund Castle.
"Well, I need the magic potion formula corresponding to Sequence 8 through the 'Audience' channel. Mr. Emperor, if you can get this potion formula, I can pay Mr. 'The Hanged Man' for the preliminary information on your behalf.
cost."
"no problem."
Gray Linte smiled and replied that this was actually what he expected.
The "Mind Reader" formula in his hand was originally meant to be given to Audrey at a reasonable opportunity. As long as Klein said the "acting method", the formula could be given to her.
At this time, Klein, who was confused throughout the whole process and had no sense of participation, was close to spiritual exhaustion.
So he tapped the table and said in a low voice:
"Okay, that's it for this gathering.
The next meeting will be every Monday at three o'clock in the afternoon. Try to be alone."
"Do your will."
Alger took the lead in setting an example.
Later, regardless of whether this party was satisfactory enough, Gray Linte and Audrey imitated him and gave the same answer.
Immediately afterwards, the "stars" above the gray fog flickered again, and the crimson light shrank back like water.
Less than a second later, the projections of the three people were shattered.
The crimson color receded from his eyes, and Gray Linte found that he was still lying on the bed of the cheap hotel.
After such a delay, he subconsciously ignored the charming dream before, and it only left a slight imprint deep in his soul.
…………
After participating in the party inside the "Origin Castle" and choosing the code name "Emperor" above the gray fog, Gray Lint had another thing to do, which was to rely on the source of the "World of Order".
Quality, redesign yourself an honorific name that will not reveal your identity.
