"Turanney von Helmholtz is at Black Pepper Avenue 32!"
"Turanney von Helmholtz is at Black Pepper Avenue 32!"
The strong wind swept through the meeting room on the second floor of "Sea Water and Flame", sending low but clear shouts into the room and into the ears of Angel.
She first looked out the window in confusion, and after the continuous shouting gradually subsided, she asked:
"What is going on? It seems that the entire Bayam can hear this cry, and it contains the power of Storm..."
Sitting opposite her was Dominic, Bayam's underground intelligence agent, "Lucky Nick".
The latter was currently stuffing the precious Star Crystal into an iron box divided into multiple groups of spaces. Hearing this, he raised his head and sneered:
"I'm just a newly promoted Sequence 7, do you think I can understand this kind of thing?
"But I have some impression of this name. The 'Third Generation Difference Engine manuscript' we found and sold in Backlund is the masterpiece of Helmosuin. Now the whole North Continent is looking for him. How did this guy come to Bayam?"
Difference Engine Manuscript... Hearing this word, Angel remembered that the "first pot of gold" he got after arriving at Backlund came from this, and also thought of this famous scientist with a difficult name.
Because of this, Dominic left Backlund in a hurry and fled overseas, so he was deeply impressed by this name. Seeing Angel lowering his head in thought, he closed the iron box with a snap, pushed it to the other party, coughed lightly and said:
"If I were you, I would not get involved in this kind of thing. The whole city can hear the announcement just now. Whether it is true or false, countless people will go to Black Pepper Avenue 32 to try to catch this famous man, including Demigod..."
The Demigod in Bayam is Sea King... Angel thought of the power of Yarn Courtman when flying at supersonic speed in the air, and the "Lawyer" Demigod who had to flee in embarrassment even if he saw him coming, even if he killed people and silenced them, he chuckled and replied:
"I'm not going to die."
But we have to discuss it with Klein...
She added silently, picked up the iron box filled with various Spiritual Materials, stood up and prepared to leave.
"Hey, I got everything for you, where's my Sonia?"
Seeing that she was about to go out, Dominic stood up and asked.
"Then you have to go find Helene. After she was promoted to 'Joker', she always sneaks onto the ship and Sailor can't catch her. You'd better negotiate it yourself."
Angel had already walked out of the room, leaving only the answer that made Dominic's face fall.
Dodging the groups of navy soldiers who were rushing towards "Black Pepper Avenue" and the four-wheeled carriages carrying Holy Emblem of Storms, Angel returned to the "Azure Wind" hotel.
Pushing open the door to the luxury suite on the third floor, Angel found Klein sitting on the sofa in the living room with a tired look. There was a somewhat familiar Radio Telegraph in front of him.
"Why haven't you slept yet? I said you don't have to wait for me."
She said apologetically, put down the iron box containing various materials, took the white paper with a line of cipher text printed under the transmitter, and found that the decoded content had been written below:
"Tomorrow morning at 7 o'clock, number Black Pepper Avenue 32."
This is... the location of Helmosuin?
Angel instantly thought of the "announcement" that had just spread throughout the city through the power of Storm.
"When I went to buy a ticket to leave Bayam this evening, I discovered the whereabouts of Helmosuin. He was with 'Silver Coin Serpent' Odell who claimed to serve 'Queen Mystic', which made me a little confused."
Klein steeled himself and took the initiative to explain.
"I tried to monitor the radio frequency obtained at Damir Harbor, and sure enough I got this information. In order to prevent this scientist from falling into the hands of 'Admiral of Blood', I reported the matter to Mr. Fool, and then..."
"Then there was the city-wide broadcast just now? "Angel chuckled and put down the telegraph newspaper, "On my way back, the navy, the soldiers of the Governor's Palace, and even Mandated Punishers were all dispatched. It must be very lively there now..."
As if to verify her words, a dazzling light flashed outside the window, and a thick bolt of lightning flashed across the cloudless sky and hit the ground. Soon, a fire broke out in that area.
"That's Black Pepper Avenue..."
Klein murmured.
The two stared at each other wordlessly for a moment, then Angel walked to the balcony, closed the door, and drew the curtains, pretending that the chaos outside did not exist.
"In short, no matter who catches Helmosuin and gets his research results, he can only hand over the harvest in this multi-party arrest, and we don't need to worry about it anymore... I bought a ticket to Desi Bay Conot tomorrow morning to avoid involving us in the next thing."
After saying that, Klein yawned and prepared to go back to the bedroom to have a good sleep.
I opened Tarot Club, pretended to buy a boat ticket, met a great scientist, and gave myself a "report". I also used Sea God's Scepter to contact believers to confirm the situation and issue a "broadcast". I was too busy... Klein muttered, and saw that Angel was still standing by the ticker without moving. He was about to ask, but suddenly felt a reminder from Spirituality and looked towards the door.
Angel also made the same move, carrying Magic Mirror, her vigilance was only slightly worse than Klein who was Seer.
After a while, there was a continuous banging sound outside the door.
The two looked at each other, Angel disappeared, Klein came to the door silently, pressed the door handle, paused for a moment, and then Door Opening looked out after his appearance and body shape completely changed under the power of "Faceless".
Standing at the door was a thin old man with gray hair. He was wearing a thick coat that didn't fit well. He made a knocking sound with one hand and held a handful of colorful candies in the other hand. He put them into his mouth one by one, making endless chewing sounds.
"Turanney von Helmholtz."
Klein frowned and revealed the other party's identity in a low voice.
This is not only a warning to the other party, but also to notify Angel who is hiding nearby.
"Hello, sir, I don't know your name now."
Helmosuin swallowed the candy in his mouth, smiled and showed some incomplete teeth, and said.
"I noticed you in the afternoon, but I couldn't get away at that time, so I can only come to you now in the chaos... My life has come to an end, and I have thought of many things.
"Please allow me to reintroduce myself. My name in 'this life' is Turanney von Helmholtz, but you can also call me: Orange Light, Hilarion."
He bowed exaggeratedly to Klein at the door, then turned his eyes to the side, staring directly at the invisible Angel.
"That Miss, please don't be so alert. My life has less than an hour to reach the end. I am here just to remind you: Be careful of 'Mother Tree of Desire'."
Orange Light, Hilarion, "Mother Tree of Desire"...
Angel frowned and released his invisibility, but still cautiously kept a distance from Hilarion, who had gray hair and an increasingly pale face.
"Orange Light? Are you one of the 'Seven Lights of the Spirit World'?"
Klein After thinking for a moment, he asked.
"Yes, the purpose of my trip has been completed, and I will return to Spirit World soon. Maybe after you become Demigod, we can meet again... In addition, I also recommend you," Hilarion read Xiang Angel, obviously his words also include the latter, "Promote to Demigod as soon as possible, so that the divinity you possess can cover up your own characteristics and avoid being coveted by 'Mother Tree of Desire' again."
"His characteristics?"
Angel asked back, subconsciously looking at himself and Klein.
"In the eyes of some special Spirit World Creature, your characteristics are not a secret. They can be discovered as long as you get close. I think you have already noticed it."
Hilarion first looked at Klein, and after he nodded seriously, he turned his gaze to Angel, with a hint of exploration in his cloudy eyes.
"And you, the beautiful and dangerous Miss, wherever you go, Calamity follows you. After Earth Mother is torn apart and everything in the world ceases to exist, the only remaining hope may be able to save everyone... This is the prophecy of 'Yellow Light' Venithan, and I take this opportunity to convey it to you."
Who is that... Angel always felt like she was in class. She looked up at Klein and found that the other party was also a little confused.
"These reminders are just my friendly expression because of your status, or you can also understand it as an investment. Just like the original stocks listed on Backlund Stock Exchange, there is always no shortage of investors for high-quality stocks. You should have experienced the goodwill of other 'investors'... But 'Mother Tree of Desire' is different. He is very greedy and wants to fully occupy the shares and control 'high-quality stocks' like you. This is also what other 'investors' don't want to see.
"Furthermore, although the Seven Gods Church hates evil gods such as 'True Creator' and 'Primordial Demoness', it hates 'Mother Tree of Desire' even more. Even Aurora Order and Demoness Sect, both secret and evil sects, do not like Rose School... Perhaps, you can use this to deal with them."
Hilarion didn't seem to notice the expressions of the two people, and talked to himself, then suddenly coughed a few times, and said in a significantly weakened voice:
"Finally, do you mind if I die here? Maybe you can collect a bounty."
"Mind."
They both answered in unison.
Compared with the so-called bounty, the forces tracked by "Sea King" and "Mandated Punishers" are more troublesome.
"Then do you have any enemies in Bayam? I can also go to his house and die quietly, and you will be able to take your revenge."
"Just stay far away..."
After a long silence, Angel replied slowly.
"Then I have to go, otherwise I'm afraid I will die on the road..."
With a slight smile, Hilarion put the last few candies on his hand into his mouth, chewed them, and left the door with shaky steps and went downstairs along the corridor.
Seeing his shaky appearance, Angel was a little afraid that this "Helmosuin" would just die in the hotel. It wasn't until the figure disappeared at the stairs that the two closed the door and looked at each other.
There is too much information to digest slowly...
"Ta-ta, ta-ta."
The sound of a firing pin hitting paper suddenly sounded in the quiet living room. The two looked at each other and turned to the Radio Telegraph on the table, watching it slowly spit out a telegram containing cipher text.
He walked forward and quickly translated it into Loenese. Klein stared at the content on the paper and did not move for a long time.
Angel also stepped forward, took the telegram, and found that the text after Decryption was only a few short words, but the content sent chills down her spine:
"Got you!"
