Chapter 125 Many People Have Secrets
The tarot session ended, and Leonard's consciousness returned to the "Red Gloves" lounge.
The members of the Tarot Club just discussed again how to control Raphael.
To Leonard's surprise, Klein had also established contact with Raphael. This meant that all the members of the Tarot Club in Backlund, except for Miss "Magic," had contact with Raphael.
However, this is not surprising. Since it is someone that Mr. Fool is paying attention to, he is likely to have some connection with this great being. As a member of the Tarot Club, it is very likely that he will have some interaction with Raphael.
Leonard had heard the old man mention this before; it was similar to the "law of aggregation of extraordinary characteristics," but with some differences. They were "aggregated" together because of Mr. Fool.
Leonard took a deep breath and smiled slightly, wondering how Raphael would react after seeing the letter he had left behind.
Raphael had a very fulfilling two days.
The framework of "Mechanic Company" had been set up, and Raphael went to give them further guidance on their next steps.
Wagner and his associates have identified several promising targets and are preparing to extend invitations to them to see if they are willing to spend money to eliminate their adversaries.
The so-called "good targets" are wealthy merchants and nobles who have obvious enemies.
However, Raphael estimated that, given their cautious nature, these people would definitely continue to observe, since this was an unfamiliar organization, and they didn't know if it could keep their secrets.
Raphael was not in a hurry, because he would have Wagner send invitations to the target's opponents and inform them through other channels that they were being watched.
There are always people who can't hold back. When Raphael "makes a name for himself," they'll soon stop watching from the sidelines.
In addition, after several days of hard work, Raphael finally created two "mid-sequence" "Iron Corpses". In particular, the corpse of the "Punishment Knight" has agility similar to that of a "werewolf" and is very good at fighting.
It can suppress most "low-sequence" extraordinary beings, withstand several waves of attacks from a Sequence 7 enemy, and even hold off a Sequence 6, since it is not afraid of death.
However, the faces of these two "Iron Corpses" were severely damaged in the battles before their deaths, so there was no other way but to put masks on them. Otherwise, if they ran out with holes in their faces, they would just be pointing the way for the official extraordinary beings.
In addition to these two "iron corpses", eight other "bronze corpses" have also been completed.
In terms of the number of zombies, we are currently at full strength.
In fact, Raphael felt that after digesting part of the potion, he should be able to control 14 undead at once, but Raphael felt that apart from the four "Iron Corpses", the "Bronze Corpses" could only play the role of blocking enemies and providing cover in battles of the same level.
With the "zombies'" high defense and rapid recovery abilities, this ability is rather useless. Moreover, you have to spend time planning their movements, otherwise you might have your own zombies blocking your attacks, which would be a bad deal.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, Raphael does not plan to take all the undead with him when he is going to do anything, unless it is an ambush, in which case he will send his undead to lie in ambush in advance.
After inspecting all the undead, Raphael took two "Iron Corpses" and two "Bronze Corpses" and left the rented factory together.
When Raphael is not around, the undead will remain in a "standby" state.
The carriage was just big enough to fit Raphael and the four undead; any more would have to run behind the carriage.
"—Pedestrian" arrives at "Blue Parrot Bar". Raphael controls an "Iron Corpse" to enter the bar and asks the bartender if there is any news about Mr. Leonard.
The bartender then handed the letter Leonard had left to "Iron House".
Raphael controlled the "Iron Corpse" to open the envelope, which contained two lines of scribbled words. The first line read: "Many people have secrets, like me, like you."
The second line reads: The transaction will proceed as previously agreed.
Seeing Leonard openly reveal his secrets, Raphael breathed a sigh of relief. The meaning of "extraordinary cop" is that everyone has secrets and there is no need to expose each other. This is equivalent to echoing Raphael's previous self-protection measures.
Raphael wasn't worried about Leonard discovering his most crucial secrets: the white jade bead and the potion that allowed him to drink through two pathways, both of which were very difficult to detect.
Raphael believed that Leonard's secret was that he had noticed something unusual about Leonard's attack methods, which meant that Leonard must have had some kind of extraordinary encounter.
In this extraordinary world, there is no shortage of extraordinary encounters.
Thinking about this, he chuckled: This guy is quite narcissistic.
Raphael glanced at the second word again and had "Iron Corpse" leave a letter with the transaction time specified.
Then "they" left "Blue Parrot Bar".
Raphael took a horse-drawn carriage back to the Mafia headquarters, picked up the information about Sophia that Carter had collected, and returned to his apartment to read it.
In addition to the information collected by Carter, there was also a document provided by Wagner. Through this document, Raphael gained a basic understanding of Sophia and several nobles who had close ties with her, including a prince.
But these should only be the few nobles who are close to her on the surface. Raphael estimated that this "witch of pleasure" should have had contact with more members of the royal family.
She was not only a mouthpiece but also a good tool for gathering intelligence; in other words, she must have slept with many members of the royal family.
Raphael smiled at this: "That's the witch's specialty. I bet members of the royal families of every country in the Northern Continent have had in-depth exchanges with the witch."
This reminded him of a description of witches he had read in the Emperor's diary: "Witches taste really good."
Clearly, Emperor Roselle was a man who knew how to enjoy life.
Carter's information, when flipped to the end, revealed that Sophia was hosting a banquet the following night, inviting many people with no entry requirements.
That makes things easier. Raphael closed the file and planned to sneak in as a guest at the banquet the next day, find a place to hide, and launch a surprise attack in the middle of the night.
All you need to do is injure Sophia and then follow her.
Raphael wasn't sure if he could lure out the person behind her, but it was Dawn Dantes' plan, and he just had to carry it out as instructed.
After thinking it over for a bit, Raphael came up with a more detailed plan, then wrote a letter and set up a simple altar.
Then he spoke in the giant tongue: "I, in my name, summon the spirits that wander in the void, the benevolent creatures at my disposal, the messengers of Gehrman Sparrow alone."
The candlelight suddenly turned a deep green, and the flames grew larger in an instant. From the flames emerged a woman carrying four heads.
Raphael was taken aback. He had sensed that the messenger was very strong before, but he didn't expect him to be Dawn's messenger.
As for why it was Gehrman Sparrow's messenger instead of Dawn's messenger, Raphael didn't care. He knew that the other party was a demigod when he learned that the wealthy Dawn was one of his identities.
After handing over the gold coins for the letter, Raphael said, "Please deliver this letter to Mr. Dawn Dantès."
The four heads grunted in unison and then disappeared in front of Raphael.
Raphael suddenly realized that paying gold coins along with the letter could be understood as an advance payment, but why did the messenger have to pay gold coins himself when he delivered the letter last time?
