Chapter 208: Will you become more moderate after cooperating with the "moderation faction"?
Old Blue waved his hand to indicate that it was up to him, then picked up the wok and poured the "Fish-flavored Shredded Pork" into the plate. He took a deep breath, it smelled so good!

When Klein wrote back saying that he was cooking at Fors and Xio's house and didn't want to go to the restaurant, and wanted to invite me to lunch, I didn't quite believe it!
I didn't expect Klein to be so smart! This is called capturing a woman's stomach, what a master!

I just don't know who the target is... It should be Fors, right? The two of them went to the Feifan party together, which was equivalent to dating at public expense...

At this time, Old Blue saw Klein return to the kitchen, so he asked indirectly:

"How was the 'Eye of Wisdom' party last night? Apart from the disappearance of the 'Craftsman', was there anything special that happened?"

"Something special?" Klein wiped his hands and held his forehead tightly.
"Really! Because it involves your 'Sun' domain ability, I was going to tell you in private. I almost forgot!
"There was a guy with malicious eyes at the party yesterday. He was selling the 'Screaming Soul' spell and wanted to exchange it for the high-attack spell of the 'Sun' domain...

"Because I doubted his identity and intentions, I temporarily agreed to his request to meet him in order to ensure that Fors and I could evacuate safely..."

Huh? Is that what I want to hear? How is the progress between you and Fors?

Old Bruce picked up the plate of fries again and chewed them. These fries were very oily and the three ladies would definitely not like them. That was it!
But…malice? Black vest and white shirt? Aren’t these elements combined to make Maric? How did Maric appear at the gathering for low-sequence Beyonders held by the Eye of Wisdom? And he was selling spells? Is there no way out?
Uh, that's not right. Sharon seems to want to buy a magical item that corresponds to the "gatekeeper" ability. Its price is about 9000-12000 pounds. After that, she will accept a commission to protect Sherlock for three days for 1000 pounds. The purpose is to raise money... Is she short of money in advance now?
An unexpected surprise! To be honest, Old Blue did have some intention in assigning Klein to the Brave Bar in the first place. He wanted Klein to get in touch with Sharon... One reason was to have a romantic relationship with them, and the other was to connect with the "Temperance Faction" and lay some hidden clues for the future layout of the southern continent...

Now it seems that Klein has done a good job and his character creation is also very successful, making people believe that he is a big money man who spends lavishly! He directly made Sharon and the other two who were short of money come to him!

It is also easy to understand why the two temperance factions wanted to exchange the high-attack spells of the "Sun" path. There is a saying that goes, the person who knows you best is your enemy. The "Sun" is naturally in an advantageous position against the "Prisoners" and "Death God" Beyonders of the southern continent. After the southern continent lost the "Death God", the threat to the colonial rule of the "Kingdom of the Sun" Intis in the southern continent has never been the local natives, but... Rune.

Of course, the two of them took the Sun Charm not to commit suicide, but to deal with the "indulgent" pursuers who were on the same path, and it was equally effective! Well, if I remember correctly, the pursuit was led by an "alien" demigod, with three subordinates, "ghosts", "zombies", and "werewolfs"...

This, isn't this a delivery? "The Secret Kitchen Knife" is really good at cutting vegetables and chopping melons against these guys!
Let's leave this to Klein, right? He can pick three people besides the demigods! Well, he can also gain Sharon's friendship... Of course, if Fors can do it, we can just be ordinary friends, which is also good!
Old Bruce quietly put the empty plate of fries on the table and said seriously:

“There is a difference between ‘vengeful souls’ and ‘ghosts’. The latter is similar to ‘evil spirits’. After the death of some powerful Beyonders, their spirits do not die. They become vicious and lose their reason... and transform into ‘evil spirits’.

"'Wrathful Souls' are from the 'Alien' pathway, which is also the Sequence 5 of the 'Prisoner' pathway. They are extremely powerful Beyonders, and their silent 'Scream' is their signature ability.

"This path is controlled by the evil organization 'Rose School' in the southern continent, and there are very few rumors about it. Therefore, the man and the person behind him should be members of the 'Rose School'.

"Well, how much do you know about the 'Rose School'?"

Klein walked over and picked up the empty plate next to Old Blue. He took out another plate full of fries from the cupboard and put it down before saying solemnly:

"I know that it is a secret organization that was born in the early Fifth Epoch. According to church records, this organization likes bloody sacrifices... 'Prisoners'...

“Mr. Blue, since the other party is an ‘evil organization’, do we really want to exchange the ‘Sunfire Talisman’? What if that ‘ghost’ uses it to harm ordinary people or uses it on official Beyonders…”

Old Blue got the snacks again and ate them happily, saying:

“Well…Klein, I am impressed by your kindness, and it is also what I admire most about you.

"I think you might not be willing to pass on the formula you know to wild Beyonders, right? You would think: What if the other party uses this power to hurt ordinary people... then what should I do?"

Klein wiped the small kitchen knife awkwardly. He was right! He could have used the "Barbarian" formula to offset the 800 pounds... Hmm! If he really had no money and was not an official Beyonder... then he might have changed it! He should have! He would have definitely! At that time, staying alive was the most important thing!

"You are right. If every official Beyonder is as strict with himself as you are... let alone them, even I can't do it to your level." Old Blue continued to eat French fries and said:
"The 'Rose School' is divided into the 'Temperance Faction' and the 'Indulgence Faction'. The former advocates temperance and uses a simple and low-desire life to fight against the madness hidden in the potion; the latter advocates 'indulgence' and restores the ancient and bloody primitive sacrifices. Later, it became even more extreme. In order to obtain the gift of the 'evil god', they were even willing to destroy their humanity..." Later, the 'Indulgence Faction' became more and more powerful, and the 'Temperance Faction' was suppressed and excluded in various ways until the leaders of the 'Temperance Faction' were killed by the other side. The members of the Temperance Faction were either killed or escaped... The Rose School became a purely evil organization.

“Of course, that organization has never been easy for the powerful countries in the northern continent, such as Loen and Intis, who went to the southern continent to colonize and rule.

"But for us, the 'Temperance Faction' is a partner we can work with. The grudges between the northern and southern continents... at this stage, you and I simply cannot sort them out, nor do we need to sort them out."

Klein said thoughtfully:

"You mean, the man at the party and the people behind him are members of the Temperance Faction who defected from the Rose School. They are relatively safe and relatively possible targets for cooperation? But... what are we going to cooperate with? Are we going to develop them into informants?"

"Well... not impossible..." Old Blue was impressed by Klein's thinking. Was he going to develop everyone he met into informants? Would the fat pharmacist consider it later? What about the "Eye of Wisdom"?

"But the cooperation I mentioned has another meaning. Where there is defection, there will be pursuit. The people of the 'indulgence faction' have been hunting down the 'remnants' of the 'temperance faction'... and the 'indulgence faction' is the one that should be eliminated first for us and Backlund.

"Hmm... Let me describe it to you. If the man in the black vest is of the 'indulgent faction', then before you can say no, he has already transformed into a 'werewolf' and pounced on you. Well, the werewolf is Sequence 7 of this path."

In his mind, Klein replaced the pale man's head with a wolf's head, and imagined that the other party would pounce... This... I have a picture! So the other party has been restraining himself? No wonder the malice in his eyes became less. Klein thought that he had scared the other party because of his high-profile! He nodded and said:
"I understand what you mean. The 'pursuers' are members of the 'indulgence faction' and should also have 'ghosts'. That's why the 'temperance faction' is seeking to purchase the 'sun' path spell specifically for restraint, in order to deal with the pursuit!

"And the demise of the Indulgence Faction will only benefit Backlund..."

"That's right." Old Blue put down the plate of French fries that he had eaten again and said:

"Those 'indulgent' guys... well, hearsay is not true. When you actually see their methods and logic, you will understand the true meaning of 'anyone can kill them'. If there is a chance, I will take you to the South Continent to have a look... Of course, not now.

"By the way, did you confirm the meeting time yesterday? I will go with you and talk to them face to face. Seeing is believing. After you see it with your own eyes, you can decide whether to help them or not.

"Don't worry, there's no danger."

Klein wanted to explain that he actually had no sympathy for those bloody guys... but he still said:

"We didn't set a specific time, but we agreed to meet there the next time the Eyes of Wisdom gathers."

“Really…” Old Blue took the empty plate and walked to the faucet. After rinsing it briefly, he said to Klein, who was collecting the sauce from the Mapo Tofu:
“That’s fine. Well, although I will be returning to Tingen after today, please remember to send me a letter via courier before you take action. I will disguise my identity and go to the meeting with you.

"You should have memorized the spell to summon the messenger, right? Well, you don't have to remember it. I will ask Ikanser to make a few 'summoning bells' later. Just shake them to summon the messenger..."

"Ah? Today? Back to Tingen?" Klein's body stiffened for a moment, and he turned off the fire. Then he turned his head and asked:
"Why today? Uh, actually I also want to go home to see Benson and Melissa. Are you going to teleport back? Can you take me with you?"

Old Blue handed over an empty plate and asked Klein to serve the fried mapo tofu. Then he said:
“No… this time I’m going to take the steam train and ‘really’ go back to Tingen.

"I came to you today just to say goodbye to you, but I didn't expect you to be here with Fors and Xio. So I don't have to make more trips."

Steam train... Klein was stunned. Old Blue had just led the "Lucky Team" to such a great achievement, but he actually had to return home the next day? !
The most important thing is... the 4-pound bounty! The bounty hasn't arrived yet! How about we return it together when it's not?
