707 Danitzs Reques (2/2)
An hour later, he brought Klein to a manor. There was an eclectic smell from various spices, mixed with an indescribable ersatz exoticism.
After informing the gatekeeper of their intentions, the two didn't wait long before they saw a man of medium-sized build of less than 1.75 meters walk over. By his side were his butler and valet.
The man's skin was somewhat sallow, with quite a tan. His contours were gentle, but his eye sockets were much more recessed than most Loenese.
To Klein, he could basically determine the man's background. He was a highlander from the Feynapotter Kingdom.
The man was already a little plump, with a rotund, amiable face. He immediately laughed when he saw the Strongest Hunter.
”Anderson, you aren't dead yet?”
”I'm waiting to attend your funeral,” Anderson replied without standing on ceremony. He then turned sideways to Klein. ”Ukfa Connerchris, the doctor of my former team.”
He didn't introduce Gehrman Sparrow to Ukfa and said with a grin, ”I've brought you business.”
Ukfa instantly understood Anderson and didn't ask in front of his butler and valet. He led the duo towards the main building in the manor.
Along the way, Klein saw buildings like windmills, bakery, brewery, and militia training grounds. The entire manor appeared like a miniaturized kingdom. Apart from the lack of a blacksmith, it was completely self-sufficient. Most iron products were cheaper buying them from the city than personally making them.
This is the pastoral lifestyle… Klein sighed silently as he followed Ukfa into the house and to his study.
Ukfa didn't call the mistress of the house over, nor did he carry his child to meet Anderson and Klein. Clearly, he didn't wish for them to have any contact with the mysterious world. Hence, after he closed the door, he went straight to the point.
”What's the business?”
”Didn't you wish to sell that revolver? He has intentions on buying it.” Anderson pointed at Klein. ”Gehrman Sparrow.”
”Gehrman Sparrow? The powerful adventurer who easily hunted Wormtongue Mithor?” Ukfa said in surprise, but he didn't show any fear.
Although he had distanced himself from the adventuring lifestyle, he knew that he couldn't be careless. Therefore, while in Bayam, he would proactively keep himself informed to prevent trouble from happening.
Anderson scoffed when he heard that.
”That's old news!
”This gentleman's achievements include successfully hunting Slaughterer Kircheis while living to this day.”
”Kircheis? The second mate of the King of Immortality?” Ukfa's expression changed. He couldn't hide his horror as he secretly turned wary.
”That's right!” Anderson said with a self-deprecating smile. ”In the pirates' playground, he's the one who's recognized as the Strongest Hunter.”
Ukfa gulped as he looked at Klein. He couldn't help but smile and say, ”I believe you have the ability to buy Death Knell.”
”Death Knell?” Klein asked with piqued interest, but he didn't show it.
”That's the name of the revolver. It has accompanied me for a decade. Sigh, if it's not because it overlaps in functionality with one of my other mystical items, and isn't of much use for me at present, I wouldn't be willing to sell it,” Ukfa replied with a sigh.
At that moment, Anderson tsked with laughter.
”That wasn't what you said before. You said you preferred farming tools.”
A Planter… Klein made the corresponding judgment based on Anderson's words and Ukfa's expression.
Meanwhile, the corresponding potion names flashed through his mind: Sequence 9 Planter, Sequence 8 Doctor with the ancient name Healing Pastor, and Sequence 7 Harvest Priest.
It's no wonder Anderson introduced him as his former team's doctor… Klein thought for a moment and said, ”Do you know Frank Lee?”
”Haha, no. Although I'm from Feynapotter, my formula and ingredients were obtained by myself, one at a time. I had nothing to do with the Church of Mother Earth. Therefore, I wouldn't dare to return to Feynapotter. However, I've heard of Frank Lee. He's someone who gives the Church quite a headache,” Ukfa replied frankly. ”He's only a Sequence 6 Biologist, but he's given such importance by the Church. I really do wish to meet him if there's a chance.”
No you won't, you will regret having that thought… Klein could tell from Ukfa's answer that he believed in Mother Earth and was likely a powerful Sequence 5 Beyonder.
By his side, Anderson's face twitched when he heard Ukfa. He said with lingering fear, ”That guy does give one a headache. In a certain sense, you can call him a devil. His powers and thoughts have exceeded the level of a Sequence 6… Alright, let's not talk about him. Whenever his name pops up, I still remember the milk that was jettisoned.”
Ukfa looked at the duo in puzzlement as he restrained his looks of curiosity. He walked to the table side, opened a drawer, and pulled out an iron black revolver that looked a little longer than an ordinary revolver.
”This is Death Knell,” Ukfa introduced it solemnly.
