The next morning, Raphael arrived at the restaurant yawning.
Last night I was chatting with Miss Sharon and we were talking about how Raphael does most of the talking, and sometimes Sharon doesn't give any response for a long time.
The servant asked, "Would you like a strong cup of tea or a strong cup of coffee made for you?"
"No need." Raphael sat at the dining table and stared blankly for a while before realizing it was time to eat. He felt like he had talked about everything that would happen this month yesterday.
I already asked her last night, and Miss Sharon doesn't need to eat breakfast, so there's no need to prepare it for her.
After breakfast, Raphael went to his study to read the newspaper while waiting for the leader of the "Temperance" faction to come to him.
Raphael sensed that the person was impatient and would come to tie him up in the next day or two.
The reason for this judgment was that Raphael felt he was rather short-sighted; something as important as the "Magic Source Scripture" should be obtained in the safest way possible.
If it were Raphael, he would definitely try his best to get what he wanted through trade.
Thinking about this, Raphael suddenly realized that most of his knowledge of Erin, the leader of the "Temperance" faction, came from his own guesses.
Because Sharon is the type of person who won't tell unless asked.
Last night, Raphael did not inquire about the situation of Guan Shou Erlin.
Just as Raphael was about to ask Miss Sharon a question, the butler knocked on the door and said that Mr. Wagner had arrived.
Raphael had no choice but to call Wagner in first.
It turns out that one of Wagner's informants discovered two members of the "Iron Cross" and asked Raphael what to do.
"What else can we do?" Raphael asked. "Do you know where those two members are?"
"Know."
"Let's go, let's take them down." Raphael immediately stood up and said, showing great initiative.
Wagner quickly opened the door: "Yes."
He knew this would be the outcome. When he was doing business with the "Iron Blood Cross Society," Mr. A had warned him to pay attention to their attitude, but they never offered a single apology.
Therefore, Mr. A's previous order to "kill all members of the Iron Cross Society in Backlund" still holds true.
Just then, Raphael, who had reached the door, seemed to suddenly remember something and said to the study, "I need to go out for a bit."
Wagner paused, then glanced at the study again.
There's nobody here.
He felt he should say something, so he said "goodbye" and closed the door.
Raphael knew that Miss Sharon must have caught up, so he didn't use the word "travel" but instead took a carriage to the scene.
The two members were hiding in a small hotel, quietly discussing their afternoon's itinerary.
They came to re-establish previous intelligence channels. For any organization, Backlund is a valuable intelligence exchange route. Therefore, since they couldn't rebuild their organization in Backlund, they hoped to regain access to its intelligence resources.
What they didn't know was that they had just made contact with the information broker that morning, and Aurora knew their exact address by noon.
Raphael listened to their conversation for a while in the spirit world and glanced at Miss Sharon not far away.
The other person was listening quietly and seemed to enjoy it.
Raphael thought to himself: Miss Sharon likes to stay in the spirit world so much, is it just to listen to gossip? Or has she developed this habit from staying in the spirit world for so long?
He smiled slightly and then said, "Their conversation is rather pointless."
After saying that, Raphael leaned forward and instantly entered the real world.
At the same time, his spirituality was infused into the "creeping hunger": the harvest!
With one punch, he sent one of the "provocative men" flying. While still in mid-air, a large hole exploded in his chest.
Then he crashed into the wall, fell to the ground, and looked like he was about to die.
The other "conspirator" reacted quickly, throwing two fireballs at Raphael while simultaneously leaping toward the window.
But in the next instant, Raphael used his "Mirror Flash" ability to appear on the windowpane.
He opened his mouth and let out a piercing scream that struck straight to the soul.
The "conspirator" stood frozen in place, clutching his head in pain.
Using his "possession" ability, Raphael quickly approached the "scheming manipulator" and was about to finish the fight with one blow when suddenly, Raphael's heart skipped a beat. He sensed danger and immediately stopped the "possession" and returned to the glass.
call.
At that moment, a flame ignited in the room.
A man in his thirties with a brown beard appeared between Raphael and the "conspirator".
Raphael realized that this was a Sequence 4 "Iron Knight"!
This is the person in charge of this operation. This "Iron Knight" is not only here to regain intelligence resources, but also to sell off some of the "Iron Cross Society's" assets in Backlund.
The "Iron Knight" stared at Raphael's phantom image on the glass: "The previous deal is over."
Raphael smiled and said, "But our feud is not over yet."
"Iron Knight" snorted coldly, and two fireballs suddenly slammed into Raphael from outside the window.
He used demigod-level precision with those two fireballs; no matter how Raphael dodged, he would be hit by them.
It hit.
The next instant, a bizarre scene unfolded. Raphael, reflected in the windowpane, returned to the real world and entered a "vengeful spirit" state. But in an instant, he appeared behind the "Iron Knight" and the "conspirator."
This isn't an ability like "teleportation," but rather an ability that feels completely foreign to the "Iron Knight."
Actually, this is the "movement technique" after mastering the "Phantom Divine Skill," which can truly make one appear like a ghost.
This was completely unexpected for the "Iron Knight," because as a demigod, and a "Hunter" pathway demigod with keen observation skills, he hadn't even noticed how Raphael had "jumped" behind them.
wow~
Two fireballs smashed through the window and continued their descent towards Raphael.
However, before they can hit Raphael, they must first pass by the "Iron Knight" and the "Conspirator".
The "Iron-Blooded Knight" slightly raised his hand and took away the two fireballs. The fireballs couldn't hit him, but the "Conspirator" behind him had just recovered from the effects of the "Wraith's Scream" and would definitely not be able to avoid the two "fireballs".
This will kill him.
Of course, the most crucial point is that the "Iron Knight" suddenly lost confidence in killing Raphael.
Raphael stared coldly at the "Iron-Blooded Knight": "You intend to initiate a battle at the Saint level."
The "Iron Knight" sneered: "One day, I will kill you."
Raphael laughed. "But not today."
The "Iron Knight" stared fiercely at Raphael.
Call ~
A ball of flame engulfed the "Iron Knight" and the "Conspirator," and the next second, they left the room.
Raphael took a deep breath; he was quite nervous during his confrontation with the demigod.
He quickly used the "Wraith's" ability to extract the extraordinary traits of the "Provocateur," collected the traits, and handed the scene over to Wagner to handle.
Raphael rode back alone in the carriage. He had only been gone a short while when a slightly ethereal voice sounded in his ear: "What ability did you just use?"
Miss Sharon could sense that it seemed to be the power of a "vengeful spirit," but the power of a "vengeful spirit" didn't seem to be this strong, at least not when she was a "vengeful spirit."
Raphael's display of the "Phantom Divine Skill" to Sharon was to prove that he could offer more than just the "Magic Source Scripture"; he had other valuable items as well.
He knew very well that the "Temperance Faction" had a weak foundation and not much to offer in exchange for trade.
However, they are also potential clients, since this organization has demigods, who are its greatest value.
Raphael replied, "I do have ways to enhance the strength of prisoners, but I cannot trade that with you for now."
Then he smiled and said, "Erin shouldn't even think about obtaining it through 'spiritual means,' because this knowledge is special; it disappeared after I died."
Raphael's words were half true and half false, but were mainly meant to satirize Erin.
Sharon hummed in agreement and turned to look out the car window.
After a long pause, she suddenly asked, "What is the honorific title given to the deity you worship?"
At first, she thought that was "The Fool," but later she discussed it with her teacher, Renette Tinicol, who said that the god Raphael worshipped did not seem like "The Fool."
That's when Sharon realized that Raphael's faith might be "some other god".
Raphael replied earnestly, "The Lord of lust."
Sharon's expression also changed slightly. She had never heard of this deity before, but it sounded more like a deity from the "Prisoner" pathway or an adjacent pathway.
She needed to discuss with her teacher whether to continue contacting this deity, so she didn't ask any further questions.
The next second, Sharon returned to the spirit world, while Raphael "alone" rode back to his residence in a carriage.
They waited until nightfall, but Erin still hadn't arrived.
Raphael then lay half-reclined on the servants' bed and chatted with Sharon about Erin.
Sharon simply said, "He is a very reserved and composed person."
Raphael was taken aback: "He's not exactly composed when it comes to making a deal with me."
Sharon didn't say anything; she also felt that Erin's handling of the matter was very inappropriate.
Because she didn't usually pay much attention to Lucia's movements, and had never discussed her views on Raphael with Lucia.
Marich was used to Sharon's personality and didn't find anything wrong with it, but Lucia felt that Sharon knew a lot and must be hiding something important from her.
Of course, even with communication, Lucia might not change her opinion of Raphael. After all, Raphael was only Sequence 7 when they met, and Lucia's perception of Raphael was still heavily influenced by her first impression: a "werewolf" who was rational even under a full moon.
Raphael was unaware of these details, but he knew very well that although Miss Sharon was not talkative, it was simply because she disliked elaborating; her descriptions were generally quite accurate.
Since he is an introverted and composed person, Raphael's previous considerations about Erin need to be overturned.
He thought for a moment and then asked, "Does Erin know where I live?"
Sharon said, "I don't know."
Raphael smiled; it would be at least a week before Erin made his move.
Because he had no foothold in Backlund, it would take him several days to find the residence of the leader of a secret organization, or he would have to use some kind of bait to lure Raphael out.
But Raphael was confident that he wouldn't take the bait with ordinary bait.
If the other party can find this place and is ready to make a move within a week, that would be quite good.
Raphael pondered for a moment, then wrote a letter to Wagner, instructing him to visit some information brokers the next day and tell them that if anyone inquired about Mr. A's whereabouts in the next few days, they should sell the information at a high price.
Although Erin has no foothold in Backlund, Lucia has been in Backlund for some time now, and she must have already established some connections.
Just as Raphael was about to fold the letter, Sharon suddenly appeared beside him: "You could have him make sure to visit the owner of Whitney Hardware Store."
She clearly understood Raphael's intention: rather than being on guard day and night, it was better to let Erin come to her door as soon as possible.
The owner of "Whit Hardware Store" was the information broker that Sharon and Marich had the most contact with. Marich had even taken Lucia to see that hardware store before.
Sharon saw that Raphael had added his own words to the end of the letter, so she returned to the spirit world once more.
And in the spirit world, he watched Raphael set up the altar and summon the messenger.
The next instant, the messenger answered the call and appeared in the nearby spirit world.
Sharon was slightly taken aback when she saw Raphael's messenger, because at first glance the messenger looked like a normal extraordinary being, but upon closer inspection he looked like a zombie or an extraordinary being at the same time, in short his state was very strange.
Just as Sharon was observing the messenger Payne, Payne suddenly attacked her, releasing the soul of the "spirit witch" in an attempt to forcibly "pull Sharon into the dream."
Sharon immediately realized what was happening and a puppet fell out of her pocket. The puppet entered the dream in her place.
In the brief moment she paused, Payne had already charged forward with a straight black sword, delivering a devastating blow.
Sharon dodged the attack, wondering why the other person had suddenly attacked her.
Payne, however, ignored all of this and continued to "herd" the soul of the "Punishment Knight": "Imprisonment!"
Sharon's movements were restricted, so she quickly conjured a crystal longsword from ice crystals to block Payne's slash.
However, Payne's force was much greater, and Sharon was sent flying, her crystal sword shattering in her hand.
In the real world.
Raphael waited for a while, but the messenger Payne did not appear. Then he sensed some turbulence in the spirit world around him. He thought that Erin had arrived, so he quickly grabbed the "cursed crystal" and entered the spirit world.
Then we saw Payne chasing Sharon.
Although Payne isn't always the sharpest tool in the book, he's still a Sequence 3 level cultivator and has the advantage of striking first. That's all.
They completely suppressed Sharon.
Just as Sharon was about to use her "possession" ability, Raphael said, "Stop! This lady is my guest."
Payne was taken aback: "Your guest is secretly monitoring you in the spirit world?"
Raphael laughed, "This is purely a habit of the 'prisoner's' path. Sometimes I also like to secretly spy on the spirit world."
No, it's about spying on others.
Seeing that Sharon indeed had no intention of attacking Raphael, Payne sheathed his black straight sword: "You need to change this habit, or you'll easily get killed."
The reason he, or rather it, acted without hesitation was simply because Raphael had given it the corpse of the "Black Knight" killed in the "Wonderful Land." Although the corpse was somewhat damaged, it was still a valuable item to it.
Raphael said, "Try to change it."
He took out the letter: "This letter is for Wagner."
Payne took the letter and left.
Sharon said to Raphael, "Your messenger is very strong."
Raphael laughed and said, "It's alright, it's alright. I once saw a messenger carrying four heads, that was really something else."
