"Strange… The divination shows no danger. Was that just an illusion?"
After shivering again, and adhering to the principle of caution, Klein even went above the gray fog to perform a divination, receiving the answer that there was no danger, leaving him somewhat perplexed.
However, since the divination above the gray fog, after eliminating interference, still yielded the answer that there was no danger, he naturally didn't overthink it, focusing his attention on the brand-new set of identity documents on the table.
This was given to him by Lin Ruo during lunch today—the name on the brand-new identity documents was "Sherlock Moriarty," and his profession was a private detective.
This was also the identity Klein would use to operate in Backlund for a period of time, related to his third stage of special training.
Or perhaps it couldn't be called special training.
In Lin Ruo's words, it was that since he had no missions at the Nighthawks and was idle anyway, he might as well find something to do and train his other abilities.
The task Lin Ruo assigned him was to use the identity of a private detective to contact people from all walks of life in Backlund, collect information, and investigate matters related to hidden organizations such as the Aurora Order, the Demoness Sect, and the Psychology Alchemists, to see what kind of magical place Backlund was, how deep the undercurrents were, and what kind of conspiracies were brewing.
In Lin Ruo's words, he suspected that these hidden sects might be brewing a grand conspiracy, but some things were not easy to investigate with an official, overt identity, so at this time, a warrior disguised with a fake identity, who would not arouse the vigilance of members of hidden organizations, was needed to investigate.
This was also the importance of many informants and secret agents.
Moreover, Lin Ruo had already arranged it so that unless it was someone who knew him before, no one would discover that Sherlock Moriarty was Klein Moretti.
This would also ensure that if Klein offended people from any hidden organization during the investigation, it would not bring disaster to his family.
Finally, Lin Ruo would grade him based on the information he gathered, and if he did well, he would even give him a good Beyonder item as a reward.
"A grand conspiracy… Could it be that what Lin Ruo calls a grand conspiracy is another conspiracy like the descent of an evil god's offspring?"
Thinking of Lin Ruo's instructions when he gave him this set of identity documents, telling him to take it easy and immediately call for help if he discovered anything related to demigod angels, Klein couldn't help but think of what happened in Tingen before, and he became somewhat apprehensive.
Then he shook his head and began to think about where to start collecting information next.
Klein took this matter quite seriously, after all, if it was really a grand conspiracy involving the offspring of an evil god, then carelessness could cause the deaths of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people.
Although Klein was sure that Lin Ruo himself could not possibly not investigate such a major event, it was always good for him to contribute, after all, if Lin Ruo's side did not investigate anything, and he happened to investigate something, it might be able to save tens of thousands of people.
"Well, the Eye of Wisdom's gathering is going to be held tomorrow, I can go and see… That Black Snake seems to be a member of the Aurora Order, maybe he knows something."
Klein thought, his eyes falling on the newspaper, and he had another idea.
"That's right, I can place an advertisement in the newspaper to build up my reputation, so that I can come into contact with more people, and it will be more likely to come into contact with things related to hidden organizations and find relevant clues.
Moreover, the characteristics of the detective profession also determine that I can have a reason to contact anyone next, after all, after the reputation is built, anyone may ask me to commission, and collecting information will not easily arouse the vigilance of others."
Thinking about it, Klein's expression suddenly became tangled.
"But placing an advertisement in the newspaper must not be cheap… I don't know if Lin Ruo will reimburse me."
Thinking of this, Klein immediately thought of another key thing, and his hand almost subconsciously pinched his wallet.
"Speaking of which, I don't have the Sequence 6 potion formula yet.
It seems that I can only buy it from Lin Ruo.
The normal Sequence 6 potion formula is generally between 1500 pounds and 2000 pounds.
Even if Lin Ruo gives a 50% discount, it will cost at least 750 pounds…"
"Moreover, after getting the potion formula, I have to collect the materials for the Faceless.
A Beyonder item of this level basically costs more than a thousand pounds.
This is still in the case of no premium.
If there is a premium, two thousand pounds for one material is also possible, and Sequence 6 generally requires two main ingredients…"
The more he calculated this bill, the harder Klein pinched his wallet.
He originally thought that after this period of hunting pirates at sea, he had earned enough money, and he should not have to worry about it for a long time in the future.
But now, after calculating the bill, Klein realized that perhaps leveling up to Sequence 6 would directly bankrupt him.
"This is too expensive… I can't hunt pirates anymore.
Maybe I should consider making money, otherwise how can I level up the subsequent Sequences, I can't even afford the formula."
Klein thought with a solemn expression.
…
While Klein was pondering ways to make money, in Lin Ruo's office, Lin Ruo, humming a little tune, also completed the first chapter of "The Fool's Anecdotes".
In a very pleasant mood, he reviewed the manuscript, corrected the typos and places he thought were not suitable, and finally closed the notebook and locked it in the drawer.
Lin Ruo naturally did not intend to show this "The Fool's Anecdotes" that he had just started writing to Klein now, how could that level of persecution be enough.
He planned to wait until the book was finished, and then put it in front of Mr. Fool, so that he could appreciate his black history.
Even if Mr. Fool's English is not good and he can't understand it, it doesn't matter, he can read it on the spot, absolutely accurate translation, considerate service.
After solving the problem of the book, Lin Ruo also began to think about the next action.
First of all, the Pyromaniac potion must continue to be digested.
In the past 20 days, Lin Ruo's Pyromaniac potion has been digested by more than half.
This speed is not slow, it can even be said to be frighteningly fast, after all, Pyromaniac is also Sequence 7.
For ordinary people, even if they use the acting method, it is normal to digest it for half a year.
Lin Ruo has also basically grasped the key to digesting the Pyromaniac potion.
The word Pyromaniac has the meaning of manipulating the flames in reality, and also the meaning of manipulating the flames in people's hearts.
Igniting the flames in people's hearts with the flames in reality, manipulating them, and then achieving one's own goals, is the core of digesting the Pyromaniac potion.
Secondly, it is to investigate matters related to the Great Smog event.
Lin Ruo cannot guarantee that the development of the Great Smog event will be the same as in the original book, so naturally he must investigate in many ways and try to extinguish this matter before the Great Smog occurs.
However, Lin Ruo also knew that this was very difficult, after all, the angels and even gods involved in the Great Smog event were too many.
But he must try his best.
Apart from the general direction, there are actually a few things Lin Ruo needs to do in the near future, such as finding the whereabouts of Vice Admiral Hurricane Qilangos, and then hunting him down, and then investigating the situation of the Jacob family's demigods, arranging the next team battle, helping Pallez Zoroast recover, and, first and foremost, meeting with the salted fish Fors.
"Let me think, should I meet her as an ordinary person tomorrow, or as a Sequence 9 Beyonder?"
Lin Ruo pinched his chin and thought.
