The Lord Of The Mysteries

The Chapter 178

"Call the cops?" Fors Wall repeated in surprise.

For Beyonders, filing a police report seems to be something from another world.

Xio paced around while tugging at his coarse blonde hair.

"The scenes of Darkholme's death are horrifying and sinister. As long as the police were not blind, they would definitely pass the case to the Mandated Punishers, Nighthawks, Machinery Hivemind, or special military departments. When that happens, we can leak some more information and tell them that the killer is Qilangos. At that time, the entire city would chase after him.

"Our goal is only to find Qilangos, not to capture him. With the 'help' of so many Beyonders, things will become simpler and safer. Once the Qilangos panicked and made a mistake, it would be our chance to claim our prize. . Heh heh, I'm referring to the discovery of his existence."

Xio let out a dry laugh and looked at the surprised Fors.

"Do you think the only way I know to solve the problem is to attack it first? The difference between us and Qilangos is as big as Desi Bay."

Fors nodded slowly and said, "Your understanding of yourself is absolutely correct. You have done too many similar things. Therefore, the loss you suffer is enough for you to advance to Order 8.

"Fortunately, you're still quite rational about this matter."

Xio lowered his head to look at his bayonet. He thought for a moment and said, "I must be honest. I clearly felt the arrival of Death before. Qilangos was undoubtedly nearby. It was an aura that was evil enough to destroy us at any moment. It triggered an instinctive response in me."

Fors wore his silver bracelet that had two stones left and thought seriously.

"i agree with your idea. Let's tell Miss Audrey first and file a police report after."

"Yes, regardless of whether Darkholme or his subordinates found traces of Qilangos, we can continue to investigate with that approach and find out the range of Qilangos' activities and the location of his residence."

Xio furrowed his thin blonde brows and said, "But Qilangos will definitely not remain in the same place."

Even as one of the Seven Pirate Admiralties, even if he got the help of a mystical artifact, Qilangos had to be very careful in Backlund.

Even Nast, the King of the Five Seas, had experienced a disaster here and was almost caught.

"No, my point is, to surmise or confirm the purpose of Qilangos' visit to the Backlund based on the instructions. Once we know what he is trying to do, no matter how he disguises himself or what tricks he does, he will be revealed to us in the end. Then, our mission will be accomplished, "fors explained in detail. "The experience of writing a novel for two years tells me that things will become simple once we understand the core of the problem."

Xio looked at his best friend in shock. He could not believe the woman had just made such a logical statement.

"I'm different from you. I'm just too lazy to think, while you think with your muscles." Fors pursed his lips, leaned his head to the side, and smiled.

"Talking me doesn't make you smarter." Xio tried to tidy up some of his strands of blond hair sticking out. "Alright, let's go to the Borough Empress and tell Miss Audrey about this."

Fors nodded weakly and said, "So, what's our emergency contact method with Miss Audrey?"

Xio was momentarily confused. He looked deep at the tombstone while saying, "He told me that his pet dog that we saw earlier walked alone at least five times a day. Well, the next street should be after lunch."

"In other words, we should roam suspiciously outside the Count Hall mansion?" The corner of Fors' lips twitched.

Xio suddenly looked to the side and showed an obedient smile, "Fors, or would you rather sneak in?

"i don't think it'll be hard for you. That's your skill."

"The number is hereditary over the centuries, one of the most influential lawmakers in the House of Lords, the largest shareholder of Varvat Bank, the fourth largest shareholder of Backlund Bank, special consultant Royal Bank of Loen, the third largest shareholder of Suchit Bank in Intis Republic, the second largest shareholder of the Constant Coal and Steel Consortium, and so on. This is Miss Audrey's father's title. Xio, use your brain; how could such a person not hire Beyonders? Will he not have a valuable collection? This was different from those poor viscounts and barons!" Fors replied desperately. "i swear on behalf of the Gods, if I sneak in, I will be found and captured within five minutes."

Xio nodded continuously agreeing.

"Let's wait for the golden retriever then …"

With that said, he led the way. After he took a few steps forward, he spoke with his back facing Fors, "Uh, alright, I will compensate for your losses and damage in the future. I'm referring to the stone, of course."

Listening to that, the corner of Fors' lips lifted and he said, "I saved myself.

"And, Xio, you're going the wrong way!

"God, if you are an Apprentice and end up becoming a Wanderer in the future, it will be a disaster!"

…

Outside the Count Hall mansion.

Xio and Fors hid behind the Intis umbrella tree and silently observed their target building in silence, watching the people walking back and forth.

As Susie begins to walk happily, a black male dog appears out of nowhere. It licked Susie and started running around in circles.

"This is the first time I've seen a dog show a human-like reaction. How much does he hate that black dog?" Xio sighed.

She could tell from Susie's gaze and facial expression that there was a clear hatred.

Fors smiled and said, "It's like facing a rash, disgusting, persistent lecher."

Seeing Susie trying to speed up to escape the pursuit of the black dog, Xio stood up to give her "Justice."

"My decision is for you to leave him alone!" Xio shouted with a mask of earnestness.

The black dog was startled and immediately ran with its tail between its legs.

Susie heaved a sigh of relief and slowed down. He barked politely and wagged his tail.

It was almost, I almost said "Thank you" to them. Golden retriever thought happily.

That would be a very awkward situation…

…

A melodic tone slowly stopped as Audrey took the latest wit that Xio and Fors conveyed and read it with knitted brows.

He closed the piano cover and stood up elegantly. He was pacing back and forth in his piano room and considering his next action.

Qilangos is a very dangerous person.If Xio and Fors continue investigating, they will probably end up in danger. Two hours to the Tarot Club. I wonder what Mr. would suggest. A fool? If she is still not interested, I will discuss it with The Hanged Man carefully.

This was the first time he had met, or perhaps was described as being placed in such a dangerous situation. There is already one death!

At three o'clock in the afternoon.

Audrey's vision recovered from the red and opaque state before seeing the boundless gray fog that did not belong to reality, the tall palace that looked like a giant house, the long ancient mottled bronze table, and the, and the Fool who was always swallowed by a thick layer of fog. Lastly, he saw The Hanged Man and The Sun.

At that moment, Audrey's tense and anxious emotions seemed to subside—she felt so safe, so calm.

I participated in the Tarot Club which did not belong to the material world, and I dealt with the Foolish Master who was almost like a god. Qilangos and I are on different levels.Audrey sits upright proudly. He lifted his chin slightly and greeted cheerfully, "Good day, Foolish Master! Good day, Mr. Hanged Man! Good day, Mr Sun!"

After they greeted each other, Klein saw that Miss Justice was showing her desire to speak; therefore, he nodded faintly to declare her permission.

"Esteemed Madam, I wonder if your devotee has received 300 pounds compensation?" Audrey asked, restraining her desire to talk about Qilangos while she showed concern for the idol of her leader.

Klein smiled and said, "I don't pay much attention to this matter. But since my girlfriend didn't ask for any additional help, I think she's already accepted."

Yeah, I've checked it many times. There were 300 pounds lying in my anonymous bank account. Klein added in his head happily.

"That's great!" Audrey relaxed and looked across from him. "Mr Hanged Man, there's progress on the Qilangos."

Algeria suddenly sat up straight. He could not hide his excitement as he asked, "Where is he?"

"Unfortunately, he noticed our investigation right after we found his trail. He killed one of the personnel involved." Audrey repeats the essentials of the Xio and Fors story and explains their follow-up plan in detail.

Algeria nodded weakly and said, "i'll pay attention."

Then, he turned to the side and looked towards the seat of honor on the long bronze table. Under The Sun's blank gaze, Derrick, who was listening but didn't understand anything, said, "Your Majesty Mr. Fool, if I want to know Qilangos' true intentions and the very important item and magic he wants to obtain. , allow me to recite your name and tell you through the ritual."

He did not repeat his request to the cult of the Fool to give him help. As he talked about it before and The Fool had given him the answer, there was no need to talk about the topic. Otherwise, it might provoke a god.

Therefore, Algeria explained that its intention was only to report its findings.

If the last temptation is enough, he believes that the devotee of Mr. The fool will definitely show up.

That work? Audrey widened her eyes.

I should have asked for the right to report as well. I might be able to get Mr.'s guidance. Fool once in a while. He thinks with regret.

Under everyone's gaze, Klein leaned back into his chair and nodded weakly. He answered slowly, "Can."
