924 First Key Factor at Carrying out Risky Operations (2/2)
After a few seconds of deliberation, Klein wrote on a new slip of paper:
”I've already acquired the spirit world coordinates of Calderón City. If you've already become a demigod, I wish to cooperate again to receive some help. If not, there's no need to force it. I can still find other friends.
”Sherlock Moriarty”
After folding the slip of paper and addressing it to ”Ma'am Maryam,” Klein took out the adventurer's harmonica again and blew it.
Reinette Tinekerr, in her dark and complicated dress, walked out of the void as though she had never left the vicinity, appearing right in front of him.
Klein handed her the folded slip of paper and a gold coin before seriously exhorting her, ”Send it to Backlund, Hillston, 126 Garde Street. Throw it directly into the mailbox.”
”Alright,” one of Reinette Tinekerr's head said while another head but on the letter and gold coin.
Upon seeing this, Klein pressed, somewhat worried:
”You haven't lost the previous map, right?
”Do you know which borough Hillston Borough is? Do you know where Garde Street is?”
The three other heads which Reinette Tinekerr held replied, ”No…” ”I know…” ”It's…” ”Very…” ”Easy to…” ”Find.”
Klein immediately heaved a sigh of relief as he politely sent off Miss Messenger.
He temporarily threw the matter of Calderón City to the back of his mind and began disguising his marionette, Ludwell.
The next morning, a man, with brownish skin, light curly hair, and was dressed in a formal Loen attire and a silk half top hat, entered Ttniks City that bordered a forest with his two servants.
This was a city that mainly produced timber, rubber, and special products from the forest. There was talk in the town that a few hair-growth research centers and the complementing factories were established here.
Having disguised himself as a local, wealthy man, Klein quickly found a hotel to stay in. Sitting on a reclining chair made of rattan, he observed his handiwork once again.
Winner Enzo's skin was not only bronze, but it was now almost completely black. Together with his thin and soft hair, bushy brows, and dark shadowy facial outline, matched with Balam-styled baggy, creased pants and a black-and-white top, he looked like a typical example of a local servant that hailed from a particular plantation manor.
Admiral Hell Ludwell's rather resplendent clothes had become the same style as Enzo's. His exposed skin had clear burn marks, and his silver mask was now dyed with a uniform iron-black color. This made it look as though he had been disfigured due to a fire accident and that he was wearing a mask to hide his face, lest he scared any passersby.
After having his lunch which was served to his room, Klein heard stacked illusory prayers.
Male… Mr. Hanged Man? It's also possible it's Emlyn and Little Sun. The transaction of the Sequence 5 Beyonder characteristic of the Vampire pathway is about to begin… Klein was just about to head for the bathroom to take four steps counterclockwise and head above the gray fog when his spiritual perception was triggered.
He hurried activated his Spirit Vision and saw the headless Reinette Tinekerr appear out of the spirit world which overlapped with the real world with a letter in a head's mouth.
Miss Sharron has replied? Klein first thanked her before receiving the letter and tearing it open to read.
”Sorry, I will likely still need another one to two months of preparation. If you still need my help by then, I'll be fine with it. Sharron.”
One to two months… It's not like I can't wait… It's not like I've digested my Marionettist potion yet… Klein nodded indiscernibly as he got a pen and some paper to reply simply:
”Take your own time. There's no rush. My matter isn't urgent. I can wait. Sherlock Moriarty.”
After handing the letter and gold coin to Reinette Tinekerr and getting her to send it to Backlund, Hillston Borough, 126 Garde Street, Klein suddenly thought of a problem:
During wars, scouting is necessary. How can I be rash and so careless about exploring a dangerous place like Calderón City?
Hmm, when Miss Sharron advances, I can head there to do some scouting and gather some intelligence without the need to take risks. For example, I can figure out exactly what restrictions there are; what kind of anomalies will happen towards Death domain powers; or I can figure out whether I'm only able to enter by a fixed entrance, or if I have any way of directly returning above the gray fog from inside… After confirming all of this, I can formulate a plan and make preparations… Of course, before scouting, divination is necessary… Klein soon made up his mind and walked into the attached bathroom.
