The Lord Of The Mysteries

The Chapter 192

Audrey analyzed many things at once as her mind spun.

Mr. Hanged Man says that the Qilangos are lone wolves who trust no one. Only he knew about his own plan. Other than my initial discovery of him, no one else should have known he was going to attempt the murder tonight …

I only told Father and Fool that I suspected Qilangos of disguising himself as Baron Gramir…

Although there was a telegram cable in Duke Negan's house and he would be able to send out information in time to ask for help, there was no reason to hide it… The father's confusion implies that the powerful being who killed Qilangos did not live up to their expectations. …

Combining all of the above, I can almost confirm that the person who killed Qilangos was a devotee of Mr. Fool!

Plus, only the unique model of Tarot Club can create strange situations with unclear motives!

Qilangos is a Wind-endowed Sequence 6, and he has the magic item—The Creeping Hunger. To be able to kill him quickly without leaving a trace, it could only be a High Sequence Extreme also known as a Demigod, right? Or maybe he was using a Closed Artifact that had great danger?

Regardless of the possibility, it shows that Mr. admirers. Fool is very strong…

Mr Fool lives up to his reputation!

Regardless, I must have given you a hint, so Mr. The Hanged Man must fulfill his promise and give me the pituitary gland of the Rainbow Salamander!

This was supposed to be our Tarot Club's first mission, right?

One of the Seven Pirate Admiral, Qilangos, died because of us!

Looking at his eager-looking daughter, Count Hall, who was a handsome man in his youth, coughed lightly and warned his daughter with a mask of solemnity, "Audrey, I know you are very interested in mysticism, and I usually tolerate that. But you should not get involved in this. You can not even ask about it. You will be introduced by the Queen to the social scene show Backlund at the end of this year. As an adult, you must clearly know and remember that the fearsome Beyonder, or the powerful and hidden organization, is equivalent to danger. Do you understand that?"

"Yes, Dad," Audrey replied charmingly. "I'm just a little curious."

"Curiosity won't work either!" The Count Hall emphasized, and he could not help but smile helplessly.

"okay!" Audrey nodded obediently.

I understood the whole incident better than you did .. He made a silly face in his head.

Count Hall thought and said with a gentle smile, "After all, you are the heroine tonight, the savior of Duke Negan. Half of the reason why Qilangos died was partly because of you, and it was equal to a gift. Of course, if no one claimed to kill Qilangos and came to receive his reward, the remaining half would be yours as well. Summed up, the total would be ten thousand pounds.

“Hmm, bounties made by the Intis Republic, Feysac Empire, and other countries and organizations are also acceptable. After the conversion, there should be a total of about twenty thousand pounds.

"Duke Negan promised that he would give you his holiday plantation in Desi Bay as a gift. That includes a very large rubber tree plantation.I don't know exactly its annual profit, but it definitely won't be low. He spent eight thousand dollars.pounds to buy it first and then, even build a house and buy good quality seeds to plant."

Audrey, who already had a legacy of three hundred thousand pounds, was considered wealthy. However, a reward of nearly forty thousand pounds was still a huge income. Many noblewomen would not even accept a figure like a dowry.

In the allied marriage of a nobleman and businessman in August, Miss Mary Oldbury, the daughter of a millionaire, only had a dowry of eighty thousand pounds.

I never considered the prize. Audrey murmured inwardly.

Suddenly, he thought of something. If he receives the bounty and his name spreads, The Hanged Man can easily figure out who Justice is.

This can't happen! As a member of the Tarot Club, I must keep a sense of mystery! Audrey looked towards her father and rearranged her words.

"Dad, I'm a little worried …"

"Why? What's going on?" Count Hall asked with concern.

"If it spreads that I know that Qilangos is disguised as Baron Gramir, I'm afraid his subordinates will take revenge on me. I'm afraid that whoever ordered Qilangos to kill Duke Negan will target me …" Audrey tried to make herself look pitiful, weak, and helpless.

"I will hire someone to protect you" replied Count Hall. Then, he nodded faintly and said, "You really don't need to take such a risk. Plus, the man who killed Qilangos took out the Hunger Creeping. sufficient motive to interfere, I'll tell Duke Negan to keep this a secret and tell others to accept the reward on your behalf and compensate you personally."

Then, Count Hall smiled and said, "You are truly my daughter. You get forty thousand pounds easily.It's more than a tenth of your current wealth."

Three hundred thousand pounds was what he had set aside for her before. She would still add another part when she married as her daughter's legacy.

"Am I as good as you?" Audrey happily asked in response.

Count Hall shook his head and laughed.

"Much better than me. The profit from my first business venture was only sixty pounds."

Audrey suddenly became very happy. The satisfaction gained from receiving the prize of forty thousand pounds, earning the praise of his father, led to the death of Qilangos, completing an extraordinary task, and, and the gift of the pituitary gland Rainbow Salamander that he would get from The Hanged Man adds to his happiness.

Hmm, if Mr. admirer. Fool's a real killer, he must have known the outcome. He doesn't need me to report it to him .. Well ... do I need to share the gift with his devotee? No, no matter what payment method is used to transfer twenty thousand pounds, it will definitely attract attention …

Plus, it's always The Hanged Man who has asked for help from Mr. Fool. Technically, he had to pay the prize. Yes, yes, after all, he stated that he had many pages of the diary of Emperor Roselle!

I will try to gather more pages of the diary to thank the Foolish Master for answering my prayers. He would definitely not be interested in rough money …

Audrey quickly determined her next course of action

…

At Duke Negan's house, in a secret study room.

The fat and tall Duke sat in the high back seat behind the table. He was smoking a cigar when he saw the Spell Pronunciation of Dewa—Ace Snake, Prime Minister Aiur Negan, and the others opposite him.

"Based on our current knowledge, we are still not convinced of the identity of the High-Security Extremist who killed Qilangos." Prime Minister Aguesid Negan has just rushed over from the King's side.

The Archbishop of Snake nodded.

"We have determined that it is not the High Order Extremist we know or the Diocese of Numinous.

"We have enough reason to believe that it is a powerful and mysterious Beyonder that we are not aware of. Of course, we have not eliminated the possibility that the person is using dangerous Closed Artifacts."

Duke Negan held his cigar and said, "Maybe it's not just High-Level Extremist. Maybe there's a hidden organization behind that person, a hidden organization that we don't know enough about. Otherwise, they would not have been able to ambush Qilangos so accurately. Yeah, maybe one of the guests at tonight's dance is a member of theirs."

His brother, Prime Minister Aguesid stated solemnly, "Regardless of that possibility, we must be careful. We must immediately discover the identity of the High Order Extreme, the purpose of his presence in Backlund, and why he killed Qilangos. "

An Unknown High-Level Extreme, roaming the Backlund, was enough to attract the attention of the government and the three great Churches!

Although the Sequence 4 or Sequence 3 Beyonder might not be able to withstand the cannon attacks from their battleships, they did not need to suffer a frontal attack. They have too much mysterious power.

Hence, they were existences that were even more dangerous than tight warships. That was the reason why they were called "Demigods"!

Spellsinger of God—Ace Snake stood up and said, "Let me make some arrangements and contact the Church of the Goddess Overnight, the Church of the Steam God, and Machinery Hivemind."

"Your Majesty will allow the military and intelligence agencies to work together" Prime Minister Aguesid promised.

…

At a hotel in the North Borough of Backlund.

Azik sat under the gas lamp and looked at the glove in front of him.

The gloves were extremely thin, as if they were made of human skin. It seemed as long as it was filled with flesh and blood, it would turn into hands.

Azik saw it for a very long time. His face suddenly furrowed in pain and agony as he muttered, "It seems, like I've worked with them before …"

…

Klein couldn't sleep well all night because he didn't receive any reports from Justice or The Hanged Man, nor did he receive any replies from Mr. Azik. He kept thinking about the outcome of the incident with Qilangos.

It must have been a scene if Miss Justice and Mr. Hanged Man did not dare to contact me carelessly.. But why did Mr. Azik not reply to my letter? Was he not involved, or was there an accident? Did Qilangos hurt him? Klein stretched out his hand and covered his mouth as he yawned. He boarded the trail-less train that led to Zouteland Road.

"Extra! The extras! Rear Admiral Hurricane Qilangos died in Backlund!

"Extra! The extras! Rear Admiral Hurricane Qilangos was killed in the Backlund!"

…

Just as the train was about to depart, Klein suddenly heard the newsboy, who was also one of the inventions of Emperor Roselle.

Klein was stunned for a moment as he quickly took out a penny and bought the Tingen Morning Post. Many passengers make the same choice.

He opened the newspaper and quickly read the title.

The Qilangos Pirates were shot dead by the Duke's bodyguards in Backlund.

Qilangos died? Mr Azik did it? Klein thought hard and scoffed at himself, As the boss behind the scenes, I actually have to know the results from the newspapers…
