Chapter 84: Completing the Transaction

Looking at the sheet of paper that listed point after point, Klein lightly tapped the edge of the mottled long table with his finger and silently muttered to himself:

“The one who sighed in the depths of the church—is that a member of the Twilight Hermit Order?

“Was Qilangos valued by the Twilight Hermit Order precisely because of that deep exploration, allowing him to later advance, obtain Creeping Hunger, and become a pirate admiral?

“If that is true, it would explain why, after he possessed Sequence 5 strength, he did not return to that primitive island and find a way to take the Tyrant card… What is given to you, you may take. What is not given to you, you must not touch?

“Of course, it is also possible that Qilangos established contact with that member of the Twilight Hermit Order during his second exploration into the depths of the church, after he had gained enough combat power…

“In any case, the possibility that the primitive island is connected to the Twilight Hermit Order is not small.

“The reason we were able to pass through different regions relatively smoothly, enter the burial hall, and see that painting of the Kings of Angels devouring the Creator was because that Twilight Hermit Order member deep inside the church deliberately allowed it? To them, given the chance, they would definitely be more than happy to publicize that erased stretch of history… However, the explanation they give from their own perspective may not necessarily be the truth…

“Afterward, that Twilight Hermit Order member probably did not expect us to resolve the awakened dead and the six-winged gargoyle so quickly, obtain the Tyrant card, and that is why He sighed?

“According to the normal script, we should have fallen into a dangerous situation, and He would step in to calm everything, communicate with us from afar, and make us peripheral members of the Twilight Hermit Order?”

Klein cautiously used “He” to refer to the existence in the depths of the abandoned church.

He even suspected that the other party might be a former King of Angels—the Son of God, Adam!

Of course, he was not completely certain that the primitive island belonged to the Twilight Hermit Order. He believed even divination would fail to produce a definite answer, because there were still too many possibilities. Other hidden existences might be involved, and the related information in the spirit world must have already been erased or concealed.

If things really are as I guessed, does that mean I missed an opportunity to join the Twilight Hermit Order? As long as I passed their test, perhaps I could have looked at the second Blasphemy Slate and obtained the high-Sequence potion formulas of the Seer pathway… What a pity… However, Gehrman Sparrow’s origins are mysterious, and it is known among the upper ranks of every faction at sea that there is a hidden existence behind him. It would be impossible for the oldest and most secretive organization, the Twilight Hermit Order, not to possess the corresponding information. Gehrman Sparrow’s fate would most likely be to be eliminated on the spot and then have his spirit channeled for answers…

Klein first felt a wave of regret, then a surge of lingering fear.

As his thoughts raced, he even wanted to send the Hanged Man back to that primitive island to find an opportunity to become a peripheral member of the Twilight Hermit Order, step by step infiltrating its core.

Sigh. The problem is, that primitive island has already vanished… Otherwise, Mr. Hanged Man truly would have had a chance to become a triple—no, quadruple—agent…

Klein flicked a finger, making the paper before him disappear, and temporarily cast aside tonight’s exploration.

However, he warned himself that during this period, he absolutely had to pay attention to whether any abnormal situations appeared in his life.

He feared that the hidden existence in the depths of the church had not failed to stop him and the…
