950 Keeping Secrets (1/2)

Emlyn fell silent for two seconds as he lowered his chin and asked, ”Who… is it?”

To him, angels were naturally worthy of respect, but those who could truly make him bow his head were the important figures addressed as ”He” by every Sanguine. ”They” had witnessed and experienced the Sanguine's long history, the source of his pride.

”I'm not sure. But in short, I'll notify you when the time comes.” Cosmi Odora shook his head.

…The person is coming because of the Ancestor's revelation? There are subsequent instructions? Why doesn't the Ancestor directly give me a revelation? This will be better concealed. I'm ”Her” chosen one! This is to avoid agitating Mr. Fool? Questions flashed past Emlyn's mind as he answered them himself.

He didn't speak further as he wore his top hat and left Odora's villa.

When he arrived at the door, he looked at the thin clouds that could hardly block out the sun. Emlyn curled his lips in disdain, raised his hand to press down on his hat, and ran for a rental carriage at the end of the street as he inwardly mumbled, Such weather really isn't suitable for heading out!

The medicine that The World wants isn't rare. It can be concocted in fifteen minutes… Hmm, the ingredients I ordered previously should be in by today. I can carry out the transaction with Miss Magician that I've delayed for days…

…

Backlund, Cherwood Borough.

Fors placed glass bottles on an altar and looked at the light blue and golden liquids, feeling the exhilaration from shopping.

More enticing than a cocktail. I wonder what it tastes like. Putting some ice in might make it taste better… Seriously, what am I thinking? These are all medicine! Fors sputtered at herself and hurriedly cleaned up the room.

Upon receiving the medicine required for medical treatment, she finished her preparations for heading to the abandoned castle in Delaire Forest. She was just waiting for Xio to return!

After tidying up certain matters, Fors slumped onto the sofa and casually picked up a few newspaper copies and began planning her itinerary for the day.

Set off at dusk. Dinner will probably be when we arrive at the town bordering the forest…

Amidst her silent mumbling, Fors flipped to the copy of News At Sea.

Suddenly, her gaze froze as a familiar name was reflected in her eyes: ”Gehrman Sparrow!”

This adventurer had appeared at sea again, boarding the Black Tulip with a middle-aged man known as ”Death Consul.” He killed Admiral Hell Ludwell, changing the lineup of the seven pirate admirals again.

”…”

Fors subconsciously patted her chest, unsure what she was happy about.

At that instant, she had a baffling feeling that Gehrman Sparrow's experiences were sufficiently legendary, something that could definitely be written into a novel!

Unfortunately, he's not someone who's easy to get along with; otherwise, I can totally be a part-time biographer to write a book for him… Haha, if I were to write the book titled ”Gehrman Sparrow,” I'll definitely be targeted by the official Beyonders… Fors thought in amusement before hearing the lock turn.

She looked up and saw Xio pushing open the door and entering the living room.

”You're early?” Fors asked in surprise.

Xio ruffled the right side of her blonde hair and said, ”I met with MI9 again and received a mission.”

”What is it?” Fors sat up, asking out of curiosity.

Xio casually threw herself onto the single-seater.

”Investigate the background of the crazy adventurer, Gehrman Sparrow.

”Based on the information provided by MI9, he's a terrifying Beyonder, and the name he uses is fake. Even his identification documents are fake. He probably came from Backlund.

”They suspect that Gehrman Sparrow has another identity and partners here.”

Upon hearing the word ”partners,” Fors couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth. She had the urge to tell Xio that MI9's guess was right. Gehrman Sparrow's partner was sitting directly opposite her.

She coughed slightly and acted calm while she asked, ”Why are you investigating Gehrman Sparrow's background?

”What did he do this time?”

Xio glanced at the stack of newspapers beside Fors.

”Haven't you read today's News at Sea?

”Gehrman Sparrow killed Admiral Hell Ludwell and is now known as the strongest adventurer of the Five Seas.

”By the way, MI9 also told me that Gehrman Sparrow might very well believe in the secret existence known as The Fool. This is news that came from many different sources, including the Aurora Order and the Rose School of Thought.”

I can testify to that… They are right… Fors forced a smile and said, ”Sounds rather dangerous.”

”Yeah.” Xio nodded. ”I only plan on gathering the intel and not delving too deep into it.”

Fors didn't continue on this topic as she said, ”I've already prepared the medicine. Shall we head to Delaire Forest today?”

Xio had already become a Sequence 7 Interrogator a few days ago, and she had mastered a rather useful power, Psychic Piercing.

”Alright.” Xio stood up, showcasing how she was a woman of action. ”Let's set off now.”

”Ah? Let's wait a little longer. I was thinking dusk…” Fors replied, feeling a little resistant.
