"Huh? Speaking of which, are there so many crew members on Klein's ship? Except for one demigod, one Sequence Five, and a few low-Sequence Beyonders, most of them should be living corpses, right?"
Amanysis used her two arms closest to her shoulders to hold the reimbursement list from the church's sacrifice under her hands, and remained silent for a while.
He specifically asked Archbishop St. Anthony to report on Klein’s matters in a timely manner.
After a brief silence, Amanysis used her two hands on her shoulders to insert the sickle she was holding into the sea of eternal sleep flowers next to her, and decided not to think too much about this thing that would make God unhappy.
After putting away the list, He turned to look at the plump woman holding a child in the distance. She held the red moon in her hand and said to him in a calm tone:
"It's time for you to make a decision?"
“With so much old history, we don’t have the best of both worlds.”
The woman opposite was silent and let out a long sigh.
…………
The company employee took the note from Klein's hand, took a look at it, and put it in his hand. He nodded slightly, smiled, and stretched out his right hand:
"I hope this deal will be successful. If you are free, I can arrange a time to meet with you at noon today. If we can negotiate this matter, I can take you for an on-site inspection in the afternoon."
The company's real estate branch here is located in Port Caesar. Although piracy is rampant here, West Balam is also colonized by many countries.
For the upper and lower resource transactions in West Balam, these countries have also opened up several excellent routes.
And although this employee is from Loen, this company is a real Intis enterprise.
In terms of commercialization, Intis, who is ruled by the "Eternal Sun" and is known as the "Patron Saint of Commerce", is more proficient.
After all, this country supports big factory owners and businessmen from a legal perspective.
After Klein walked out of the company, he deliberately took some detours and passed through a nearby alley. Two men in black robes walked out and followed Klein.
Leonard, who was wearing a black robe, approached Klein who was walking steadily, lowered his voice and asked, "Mr. Dantès, how are you doing?"
In order to prevent other local people from prying at him, Klein specifically asked Leonard and Xio not to call him by his real name outside.
Klein nodded slightly: "It's okay. Buying land here is the easiest way for us to establish a relationship with the church in the southern continent. This is the colony of Intis, and we must go through the Church of the Eternal Blazing Sun." The priest will come to perform the notarization. At that time, we may be able to inquire about the specific situation in the Southern Continent."
"Yes." Leonard nodded and said to Klein in front of him: "I investigated just now and found that people from the Eternal Sun Church and the Church of Steam came here just now. Something is wrong here. The Extraordinary from the church just now We searched each house here to see if there were any wild Beyonders in the area."
"In other words, the blow to Extraordinaries here is stronger than that of the Kingdom of Loen." Klein thought thoughtfully. From the details just now, Klein can see that the current situation in the Southern Continent is Pretty grim.
The first is the issue of the "Aurora Society". Klein still doesn't know what Mr. A, who was sent here, was doing here at that time, making the Aurora Society well known in the Southern Continent.
Then there are those who believe in the God of Death, which is what Klein needs to pay attention to.
In the future, he may need to use other identities to pretend to be a devout believer of the "God of Death" and a favored person of God, so as to spread the beliefs of the "God of Death". Of course, these beliefs must be modified according to the requirements given to him by the goddess of the night. .
Moreover, there are also believers of the "Mother Tree of Desire" here. Although the believer of the goddess just didn't mention it, there is obviously a serious problem with the abnormal situation of extraordinary people here.
Klein could see this from the werewolf he dealt with before dawn this morning...
Klein rubbed his temples and couldn't help but feel a little troubled.
In the conversation with the employee just now, he secretly used the soul of the "psychiatrist" grazing in the "Crawling Hunger", so that the employee could let down his guard more naturally and reveal some not-so-important news.
After this back and forth, Klein gained a lot in intelligence.
He nodded slightly to Leonard beside him: "I need to go to the Star Plateau at noon today and will be back in the evening."
Then Klein turned his head and looked at the two people beside him:
"Leonard, I hope you can look here to see if there is a gathering of extraordinary people here. In terms of extraordinary power, this place is much stronger than Backlund. There should be many similar gatherings."
"Besides, Hugh, I hope you can come with me and act as my escort."
The company's employees acted quickly. In less than two hours, Klein received the notification from the employee just now.
After once again signaling with his eyes what Leonard was going to do, Klein picked up the cane he had purchased earlier and was inlaid with a small gold sculpture that resembled a snake's head, and walked forward.
Beside him was Xio, who was wearing a brass mask and a black robe, with a lamp kettle wrapped in cloth hanging on his waist.
In order to establish his wealthy businessman identity, Klein does not need others to protect him, but Dwayne Dantès does.
Before going out, he arranged his clothes and motioned for Xio to follow him.
While making preparations just now, he temporarily lent the cane he had used before to Xio. Although Xio's height made it difficult to use the cane, the tip of the spear could still serve as a "spear".
"Are we going by sea?" Klein turned his head to the employee next to him, who nodded:
"The fastest way is to go by sea. Although the current situation in the southern continent is not ideal, we still maintain navigation multiple times a day."
After hearing these words, Klein nodded slightly and looked up at the ship in front of him.
This ship was not too big compared to the armored ships and ocean-going ships he had seen before in the Kingdom of Loen, but it was still huge compared to the ships of ordinary small pirate groups.
The main role of this ship is to transport cargo, and secondarily to transport people.
Klein guessed that the reason why this ship can continue to operate at sea has official support, but a large part of the reason is because there are also local resistance forces or the "Rose School" behind these cargo transactions. people as support.
Before boarding the ship, Klein mobilized a little bit of the power of the gray mist, covering it on the coins and popping them up at will.
Klein quickly caught the falling coin, took a look at the result of the coin, and put it casually into his pocket.
He had just divined whether he would encounter something bad on the ship, and the divination gave a "no" answer.
The three of them spent a short time on the ship, and just like the divination results given by Klein, although Xio and the employee were a little scared, he did not encounter any pirates who came to rob them.
This further supports Klein's previous thoughts.
Not long after, several people walked down the stairs from the ship and looked at the vast land in front of them.
Compared to the port, this place is more dilapidated. There are some shadowy factory-like buildings in the distance. If you look from a high place, you can see a lot of ant-like things moving in and out of them.
"Mr. Dantès, please follow me to transfer the boat here." The employee said respectfully to the donor next to him.
Hearing the voice, Klein followed what the employee said and turned to look to the side.
Next to it was another boat, and many people had already started walking towards the smaller boat.
"What is this?" Klein asked casually.
"There are not many railway tracks on the Southern Continent. Steam trains basically only have lines in the upper and lower parts separated by the river. So if we want to go there, we usually take this boat along the river."
The employee explained patiently: "And the place we want to see today is around the river. We can go there directly by boat, which is shorter than the distance we have to go by rail."
The most important point is hidden by the employee himself, that is, the cost on the road will be much less if you follow this route.
When dealing with large clients with transactions of thousands of pounds, they are generally responsible for such expenditures, and these will be included in their performance.
It is for this reason that the employees responsible for carrying out these operations do not dare to let the distinguished gentlemen know about this situation.
However, even if Klein knew about this "saving money" method, Klein would probably agree with this point of view.
After listening to what the employee said, Klein nodded to show that he understood.
Since it didn't take long to get there, they stood on the deck and looked into the distance while chatting after getting on the boat.
This employee obviously wanted to sell this piece of land, which was sold at an unusually low price, but was in obviously wrong condition.
After not being affected by the extraordinary ability of the "audience" path, he frequently introduced the benefits of this land to Klein, but avoided talking about the disadvantages. Klein on the other side just nodded while listening.
While chatting, they also admired the scenery along the way from time to time.
Unlike Backlund, most of the scenes Klein saw were dilapidated and desolate.
There are also a few more populous and more prosperous towns in the middle, but most places are similar to Backlund's East District, or even worse.
The residents here are no different from the people in the East District. They seem to be hungry for a long time.
This is the gap in productivity. In colonized areas, life is even more difficult for civilians... Fortunately, I "travelled" over and didn't end up in such a hellish start...
While Klein politely replied to the words of the real estate company employees around him, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Suddenly, something inspired him. He turned his head and looked behind him, and suddenly found that the expression of a man in that direction also retained considerable caution.
The man looked at Dwayne Dantès who suddenly looked at him and nodded seriously.
This is an extraordinary person... Klein immediately understood and turned his head to continue talking to the real estate employees next to him.
After a while, as the ship slowly came to a stop, the employee said to Klein in front of him:
"We're getting there."
Are you there? Klein turned his head and saw a wall surrounded by some retro-style walls in the Southern Continent. This wall had the style of the Highland Kingdom. Some places were dilapidated, and some had even collapsed.
Basically, it conforms to what the person and I just described... Klein nodded slightly and continued to look around as he walked past the wall.
First, there was a huge grassland in front of him, and further away was a rather luxurious main body of house.
Of course, the main body of the manor also looks a bit shabby. Along with this building, it continues to extend in all directions. The cascading stairs and pools on the upper and lower floors give the manor a solemn beauty.
However, these steps and pools appeared to be somewhat dilapidated, making the still intact buildings in the manor dilapidated. There were large tracts of open space around the manor.
"Things don't seem good here."
"If I want to restore this place, I will need to spend at least 1,000 pounds."
Klein frowned and said to the employees beside him. The employee of this company smiled bitterly: "Mr. Dantès, this is why no one wants to buy this land."
"But all in all, you still make money. You see, you mainly purchased land to build factories and plantations, so the manor here actually doesn't have much use..."
"You see, the land around the manor and within the walls belongs to you. There is a city in the southern continent a few kilometers away from this manor, where you can recruit the housekeepers and servants you need. .”
"After all, this manor only costs 5,000 pounds..."
The employee wanted to say something more, but was interrupted mercilessly by "Dwayne Dantès".
His tone was gentle, but with unquestionable majesty:
"If that's all, then this manor should be worth more than five thousand gold pounds."
"I think that if you want me to buy the manor, I have the right to know what is going on in the manor." Klein hesitated, but still chose to hint:
"I have been in the Southern Continent for many years, and I may not care too much about the problems here."
"..." After hearing Klein's words, the employee paused and sighed:
"Actually, there's been a rumor about this manor recently."
"It is rumored that this manor once belonged to a certain nobleman of the Highland Kingdom. After the death of this nobleman, some cultists used this place to try to summon demons..."
These two chapters can be regarded as transitional chapters. Xiao Ke, who came to the Southern Continent in advance, must be reasonably involved in this matter. If you feel that some chapters are dull, please tell me about it. I am afraid that sometimes the thread may be buried. Too much will make it look watery.
(End of chapter)
