1096 Cooperation (1/2)
At just past six in the morning, the entirety of Backlund remained dark. It was very quiet, with most areas being illuminated only by the street lamps.
Wearing his pajamas, Klein sat on the bed and looked at Miss Messenger who was carrying four heads. He rubbed his temples and asked helplessly, ”Who sent the letter?”
Why couldn't he have a good night's rest?
The three heads in Reinette Tinekerr's hands replied one by one, ”That...” ”Particular...” ”Brainless...”
”Servant...” ”Of...” ”Yours...”
Danitz... He prayed in the middle of the night in the past, and now he's sending letters in the morning... Klein took a deep breath and slowly exhaled. Following that, he received the letter from Miss Messenger.
When he opened it, his expression gradually turned solemn. This was because Danitz's and Anderson's discovery of Vice Admiral Ailment Tracy's location was extremely untimely.
According to Klein's deductions, it wouldn't take long for the pirate admiral and Demoness of White Katarina to regain their ”freedom.” They wouldn't be hiding much, making it easier to find them. Now that they had dealt with the intelligence peddler, Bartz, and obtained the items to contact Tracy from him, the greatest possibility was that they had frightened the target and made her continue hiding.
Of course, Klein could seek the help of Queen Mystic Bernadette to find a way to lock onto Vice Admiral Ailment through the mirror. However, the problem was that he suspected that the target's hiding place was an important stronghold of the Demoness Sect. It might even be the headquarters where there were Grade 0 Sealed Artifacts. This way, even if he had confirmed the whereabouts of Tracy, he wouldn't dare to ”Teleport” over to capture her. Hence, any contact would alert the pirate admiral.
And if he didn't take the opportunity to contact her, regardless of whether Bartz was dead or alive, the news would spread after daybreak. Similarly, Tracy would be on guard.
Seriously... However, this is also because Anderson and Danitz don't know the truth. They don't know the changes in the situation of the Loen Kingdom... After some thought, he said to Miss Messenger who was waiting by the side, ”Wait for me. I'll write a reply.”
He had originally planned to ”Teleport” over directly to decide what to do next, but after some consideration, he still chose to write a letter.
Although he believed that Zaratul wouldn't waste time on an obvious ”bait” like Danitz, he still felt that he had to be more careful. If Zaratul didn't do so, it didn't mean that the members of the Secret Order under ”Him” would do the same. Such a huge secret organization definitely had a few demigods at the saint level. Once he got entangled by the other party, it would be a huge problem.
”Alright.” The head carried by Reinette Tinekerr that had failed to speak previously rushed to answer first.
Klein got out of bed, walked out of the bedroom, and came to the room outside. He took out a pen and paper and wrote fluidly:
”Think of a way to make Bartz faint until dawn.
Then, leave his room immediately and stay far away. There is a great danger lurking there.
”Monitor Bartz again when daybreak arrives, but don't alarm him.”
The so-called danger was a half-truth, and his main goal was to get Anderson and Danitz to leave the scene, so as to draw away any possible spying.
Putting down the pen and looking through it again, he folded the letter and handed it to his messenger, Reinette Tinekerr, who had followed him out.
At 3:10 a.m. in the Berserk Sea, Theros Island, Bartz's room.
Danitz had just finished clearing the altar and wiping away the traces when he saw the terrifying messenger with four heads return.
Gehrman Sparrow actually didn't come... Danitz reached out to receive the letter in surprise, then he took out a gold coin for the messenger.
After the figure with four heads and dark, complicated long dress disappeared into the void, he opened the letter and quickly read through it.
T-there's danger! Danitz's pupils dilated as he rushed towards the door as if he had been burned in the ass.
After leaving the room, he said to Anderson, who was standing in the corridor with his back against the wall with an unlit cigarette in his mouth, ”Quick, let's go. It's very dangerous here!”
”...Did Gehrman Sparrow say that?” Anderson was taken aback as he asked thoughtfully.
”Yes, how do you know? Couldn't it be that I discovered something?” Danitz replied instinctively.
”You? Heh.” Anderson chuckled and asked rather relaxed, ”What else did he say?”
”Aren't you nervous? Gehrman Sparrow is very reliable on such matters.” Danitz's focus was completely off.
Anderson fell silent for a moment before saying, ”His messenger is more reliable. At least, within the few minutes of his messenger's return trip, there won't be any danger here.”
If there really was any ”danger” lurking here, they would silently shrink back when they saw the messenger.
Danitz originally wanted to reply that it may seem so in terms of her image, but for some reason, he instinctively gave up on that sentence.
He switched to saying, ”Gehrman Sparrow also said to let Bartz pass out until dawn so that we can monitor him again when the sun rises without exposing ourselves.”
