Chapter 122 The Task Given by Klein
Raphael boarded the carriage and noticed that the wealthy man in front of him, Dawn Dantès, was not wearing his usual formal attire, but rather a shirt and trousers that allowed him to move around easily, with a dark trench coat over them, as well as a "gentleman's three-piece suit": a pocket watch, a cane, and a top hat.
Raphael didn't have the habit of carrying a cane, because once he got one, he would always imagine how to use it to crack open the heads of everyone he met.
The carriage started moving forward again, and Klein, wearing Dawn Dantes's face, smiled and said, "I heard you came to see me today?"
"Yes, there is an investment you might be interested in," Raphael said with a smile.
Klein paused for a moment, then asked, "Just to discuss investment?"
Raphael shrugged. "What's the point of talking about this otherwise?"
"I'm not very interested in investing anymore," Klein said with a smile.
He thought Raphael needed his help for something, and he wanted to take the opportunity to bring him onto the "Fool's" ship. Besides, he didn't have much money left.
Upon hearing Raphael's words, Klein was initially disappointed, but he quickly seemed to realize something: "If nothing else, this will be our last meeting, as I am about to leave Backlund."
Raphael paused for a moment, then immediately realized that the other party was urging him on.
The other party must have realized that I am an extraordinary person, and the fact that they are still willing to meet me means that they have the idea of accepting me into their organization.
Such matters could normally be discussed gradually, and the interests of both parties could be gradually intertwined. However, now that war has begun, the wealthy man seems to have important matters to attend to and is leaving Backlund, making it difficult to maintain contact in the future.
So the wealthy man wanted to establish a further connection with himself before leaving.
But you have to take the first step yourself.
Thinking of this, Raphael took a deep breath. The two of them knew the truth, but they couldn't say it aloud.
After a moment's thought, Raphael put away his smile and said seriously, "Actually, there is something I need your help with, but I don't have anything to offer you as payment, so I'll just keep an eye out for current investment opportunities for you."
Klein breathed a slight sigh of relief: As expected of someone from "Dongda," he understood what I meant. If Emlyn were in Raphael's position, and the same words were said to this vampire, he would definitely reply with "Have a safe journey."
With that thought in mind, Klein's smile softened: "What do you need my help with?"
In his view, it would be easy to handle Raphael if he needed help, which would make it easier to control him.
Members like "Justice" and "The Magician" all went through this process. When they felt the power of "The Fool," they naturally gravitated towards the great "The Fool."
Raphael, following his previous thoughts, said, "I have received intelligence that a 'vengeful spirit' is suspected to be buried in a Quaternary ruin."
"That relic is somewhat dangerous for a Sequence 6, so I'm hoping to get your help."
Klein paused for a moment. Just moments before, at the Tarot meeting, he had confidently declared that he would keep Raphael within a controllable range by temporarily withholding the next sequence extraordinary property from him.
However, just a few days later, Raphael asked him to acquire the properties of "Wraith".
Raphael noticed the other party's hesitation: "I will try my best to pay you a satisfactory reward. If you feel that I am unable to pay the corresponding reward, we can still maintain contact, and perhaps I will be able to provide the reward you need in the future."
He also considered that if the demigod was unwilling to help, he could ask Miss Audrey and Mr. Leonard for help. With the help of two Sequence 5s, he should be able to deal with the dangers in the ruins.
Klein then said, "I didn't mean to refuse you, I just suddenly thought of something else."
He then said, "I can grant your request, but not now, because I have more important things to do recently. You can rest assured that even if I am no longer in Backlund, I will arrange for someone to help you."
When exactly he would offer help would depend on when Raphael prayed to the "Fool".
Raphael breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you."
Klein glanced out the car window, then said, "As for the reward you need to pay, it's to complete two or three tasks I'll give you. Well, the difficulty of the tasks won't exceed Sequence 6."
"Of course, if you encounter danger during the mission, or if you complete all the missions exceptionally well, you can also receive all the rewards through a single mission."
Raphael immediately agreed: "Okay."
With his current strength, taking down a Sequence 6 opponent would be no problem at all.
"There's a task for you now," Klein said. "Have you heard of Miss Sovia?"
Raphael nodded: "Backlund's famous socialite."
Klein hummed in agreement. "I suspect she's a member of the 'Witch Cult.'"
"A witch?"
"Most likely, she's still a 'pleasure witch'."
"Do you need me to sleep with her? To extract some information?"
Klein hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said, "No need?"
"Do you need me to kill her?"
"No need."
"Does it mean I have to sleep with her first, extract information from her, and then kill her?" Raphael scratched his head and said, "That would be a bit difficult."
Klein felt the topic had gone off track, but he still asked with some curiosity, "Why is it difficult?"
Raphael generously replied, "I'm afraid that after I've had my fun, I won't be able to bring myself to kill her."
Klein smiled and shook his head. At this moment, he finally realized that he was talking to a "prisoner" who was obviously constantly jumping between the moral line and the line.
Seeing Klein's expression, Raphael thought that the other party really wanted him to do it, so he said, "It's not impossible to do it this way, but it will cost more money."
Klein resisted the urge to twitch his lips and quickly steered the conversation back on track: "You don't need to do that, and you don't need to pay extra."
"Try to get close to her, then attack, but don't kill her; let her escape."
However, Raphael's words "you have to pay more" made him feel particularly warm.
Raphael nodded: "Now I understand, you're looking for the person behind her."
Klein hummed in agreement.
Raphael said, "I will notify you when I launch the attack—how will I notify you?"
Klein asked, "Do you have a messenger?"
"no."
"Then you can summon my messenger." Klein then recited the summoning incantation, and finally added, "The reward for delivering the message is one gold coin; you should prepare it in advance."
Raphael nodded: "Okay."
After finishing their business, Klein leaned back in his chair and looked out the window, seemingly losing all desire to continue the conversation.
Raphael then took his leave, and after getting off the carriage, he realized he was back near his apartment.
This should be a warning from the other party: I know where you live.
Raphael just smiled. He had long since stopped contacting the original owner's family, so what was there to be afraid of?
He muttered to himself, "Since they know where I live, why don't we just meet nearby?"
Taking off your pants to fart.
He didn't say the last sentence aloud, afraid the other person would hear it.
