Chapter 121: A Comparison of Conversational Experience

What do I think? If I knew the answer, why would I be here? I would have long since found a way to indirectly submit the intelligence!

Leonard silently grumbled twice, then began weighing his words.

During this process, he discovered that although he was standing upright and looking down at Dawn Dantes, the wealthy gentleman seated leisurely in the easy chair instead occupied the superior position in terms of bearing, like a high-ranking figure casually listening to a subordinate’s report.

This made Leonard rather uncomfortable. He subconsciously glanced around, pulled over a chair, and leaned back into it in a half-habitual, half-deliberate manner.

“I think that he—or rather, you people—are searching for something.

“In Tingen, when he infiltrated the Nighthawks, he was searching for something. In Backlund, when he infiltrated Chanis Gate, he was searching for that same thing!

“The first time, he gained nothing, so he used Ince Zangwill’s attack to fake his death and leave.

“The second time, he still failed to find it, so he took nothing and left directly from behind Chanis Gate!”

In these sentences, Leonard deliberately used a confident tone to reveal that he had already grasped the fact that Gehrman Sparrow was Sherlock Moriarty, and Sherlock Moriarty was Klein Moretti. He wanted to apply pressure that way, so Dawn Dantes would no longer remain so calm and would give up any thought of quibbling.

As expected, he went to dig up my grave…

Klein sighed inwardly and gave a soft chuckle. He picked up the wineglass filled with red wine, lightly swirled it, and said, “Do you think that without precise intelligence, we would recklessly test things twice in a row? You should know that this kind of matter only allows one chance. Once it fails, success becomes impossible.

“So, who would rely on action to verify guesses when they have not even confirmed the target?”

He tacitly admitted what I said. Klein Moretti is Gehrman Sparrow, and he is a member of that hidden organization that believes in the Fool—the chivalrous thief Black Emperor…

Leonard worked hard not to frown. Placing his right foot over his left leg, he said, “So it was not that he failed to find it, but that other factors caused the failure?

“During those two stages, there were only two things shared by Tingen’s Saint Selena Cathedral and Backlund’s Saint Samuel Cathedral: Sealed Artifact 2-049 and the Antigonus family notebook.

“The Antigonus family notebook… Was it that? Klein Moretti joined the Nighthawks because of it!”

Although the reasoning process is wrong, the answer is right…

Klein laughed lightly and said, “Our brains are not decorations.

“If his target were the Antigonus family notebook, he would not have had to join the Nighthawks at all. Before you obtained it, he had plenty of opportunities.

“And even after you obtained it, he was not lacking in chances to get it. You should understand the situation back then better than I do.

“Also, since the target was the Antigonus family notebook, why did he not take it away this time?”

After being mocked by Dawn Dantes, Leonard Mitchell finally realized that the idea he had come up with on the spot was full of logical contradictions. Shame stirred in him, along with a faint trace of anger.

He quietly inhaled and said, “Then why did he use different methods to infiltrate Chanis Gate twice? And this time, not only did he take nothing and leave nothing behind, he himself also entered a strange state.”

No sooner had Leonard spoken than he saw Dawn Dantes, whose temples were graying, reveal a meaningful smile.

“As for the latter matter, even I do not know why. Perhaps you should ask the Evernight Goddess.”

The Goddess… What does he mean?

Leonard was instantly shocked and suspicious. He found it hard to imagine what exactly had happened behind Chanis Gate in Saint Samuel Cathedral.

Immediately afterward, he heard Dawn Dantes chuckle deeply.

“As…
