Chapter 206 Mr. Fool Returns to His Loyal Backlund!
Dirty, dirty, dirty!
The sound of the train whistle echoed in every corner of the platform. The huge steam locomotive, like a monster, dragged more than 20 carriages and slowly stopped.
Klein, who was wearing a tuxedo that didn't fit him well, was very burly, and wore a half-high silk hat. He was carrying a suitcase that was large for ordinary people, but it was just a normal size for him now.
He walked out of the train with two other tall men and stepped steadily onto the ground of Backlund, the capital of the Kingdom of Loen.
In addition to luggage, various potions, the enhanced Lake Toya, enchanted knife oil, magic props, and a few long-range weapons, the suitcase also contained a holy cloth box. If the internal space of the suitcase had not been expanded, it would not have been able to hold so many things.
Today, Klein is no longer the same as before. For revenge, after hard training, he passed the many trials prepared by Master Snape, including the Green Grass Trial, and has a brand new form.
Klein's Moon Breathing Method has surpassed the Thin Dog, Strong Man, and Muscle, and has reached the Brother Level equivalent to Sequence 6.
Now, his figure wrapped in a tuxedo is like that of a top bodybuilder like Schwarzenegger. To be honest, it is too conspicuous for normal people.
This is a side effect of gaining strength, but when he advances to the next level, Yuegong Xionggui, his figure can be stretched and retracted freely, like a cat.
Klein's current qualifications are completely a martial arts genius. I believe that day will come soon. Before that, when necessary, he will choose to use the polyjuice potion provided by Snape to disguise himself.
In addition, with the help/arrangement of Gu Meng, his ability of this path can be said to be melted in the mouth by the clown potion. Klein has long been a magician of Sequence 7 and is about to be promoted to Faceless Man.
Not only that, he has now regained the sixth sense that he had only temporarily comprehended by climbing the ladder at that time, and with the help of Master Snape, the medicine master from another world, he has repaired the "Olyptocephalus Cloth" with [Spring Alchemy].
With the bonus of martial arts, under normal circumstances, the frontal combat power is not weaker than Sequence 5.
The two people following him were Hegrid's disciples who had recently participated in the trial together, retired knight Gawain and apprentice bronze saint Astolfo. Astolfo had already obtained and repaired the Pegasus Cloth that he had been thinking about.
Gawain had now become a mountain of muscles, with a figure that was even more exaggerated than Klein's. His back was very similar to that of Mr. Hegrid before, and he was very conspicuous in the crowd. People passing by consciously avoided him a little.
And Astolfo had also changed from the previous beautiful boy to the black tiger Astolfo. This huge change was just like the Dragon Ball Little Goku becoming Big Goku after a few episodes.
The three of them had accepted the Saint Seiya assessment some time ago, and followed a girl named Katie White with a cat head to find the blue firefly that represents luck in the secret realm.
Now that the trial has passed, they have returned to the capital of Mando, Backlund.
The city is divided diagonally into two parts by the Tussock River flowing to the southeast estuary. It has a population of more than five million. There is no doubt that it is the most prosperous city in the north and south continents in this era.
Today was also a foggy day. Klein looked far away and saw only pale yellow fog everywhere. Visibility was extremely poor. The gas lamps hanging on the platform had been lit one by one, dispelling the gloom and dimness.
This classic style naturally reminded Klein of the foggy London on Earth. However, because there were many coincidences between the two worlds, and the influence of many time travelers like Emperor Roselle and the ancestors of the Potter family, Klein did not doubt too much now.
"It's only half past six, right? It's like nine or ten o'clock... It's worthy of Backlund."
Klein shook his head slightly, and suddenly remembered the joke he had seen in the Tussock Newspaper before. It was the kind of Soviet joke that mocked the city's increasing air pollution.
But before something really happened, Backlund's fog would not change at all.
"Speaking of which, the Tussock Newspaper was serializing the otherworldly version of The Strange Dao. I heard that it has been serialized again recently, and his disciple Mr. Flitwick continues to write under the pen name of 'The Third Generation Dark Lord'. It is said that Mr. Snape, who wrote Medicine Breaks the Sky, is also supervising, but many readers are worried that Snape will add material to the book, and some readers support adding material..."
After Mr. Tom's death, The Strange Dao was discontinued for a while, but now it has been serialized again, and everything seems to be smoothed out by time...
No, he will remember!
The experience and state of mind during that period made Klein quickly realize the true meaning of "The Joker", that is, "although he can slightly predict his fate, he still feels helpless about it, so he uses a smile to cover up all the sadness, pain, confusion and frustration".
In the face of a real disaster, he was too powerless. Although Little Klein rarely showed sadness on the surface, the death and courage of Teacher Tom and Teacher Hagrid have always been engraved in his heart.
…
When Mr. Fool returned to Backlund in the evening, the teacher Tom whom he often missed was actually waiting for him at the Saint Seiya base.
Oh, Tom is dead, and now his main consciousness is using the avatar called Conan Joestar, but it is unknown how long this avatar can be used. He is setting up the crime scene, a murder case in a closed room.
At that time, Gu Meng reached a deal with Hei Ye, and Xiao Ke also needed to leave the Novice Village to grow, so Klein's identity was also canceled. Following Snape's guidance, he came to Backlund and met Malfoy and Flitwick.
After getting in touch with the Order of the Phoenix, I received a letter from Neville, the former Patriarch of Saint Seiya and the new Pope after Tom's death.
Klein has become a Saint, and naturally he must continue to refine on this path.
The original martial arts teachers Tom and Hagrid had died in the decisive battle in Tingen City, and Neville couldn't get away, so he guided Xiao Ke to the Saint Seiya's secret base in Backlund and met the new teacher.
A man with a missing thumb and little finger on his left hand. In fact, when he first heard the teacher call him Conan, Xiao Ke thought it was another time-traveler joke.
In order to hide his identity and prevent those behind the scenes from discovering that he, the Fool's Favorite, was not dead, Xiao Ke needed to take a new name. The name Conan just gave him inspiration, and he has chosen the pseudonym "Sherlock Moriarty" ".
But when they actually met, Xiao Ke instantly understood that it was not Conan Edogawa, but Conan the Barbarian.
…
…
The next day, in Backlund, a secret meeting was taking place in the bathroom of the Saint Seiya branch.
"Praise be to the great master of the bathroom!"
A man who was obviously dressed more modernly than this era raised his hands and spread them apart, making a gesture of praising the sun. His tone was very pious, but his expression completely betrayed his joking mentality.
"This...you should hurry up and get over it."
The mysterious Gu Meng on the side seemed a little dissatisfied, but the smile on his lips betrayed him.
"Our experiment has been successful. Although it can only last for a short time, projection can indeed be cast with the help of this function."
"Yes, yes, I didn't expect it to be successful..."
"Let's do something quickly now!"
"Isn't it good for us to do this?"
"Come on, I am you, you are me, don't I know what you are like?"
"No, no, no, I think we are completely different. To be precise, if you were me in the Zhuxian world, I would never let you in, even if it was just a projection... However, you are right about your last sentence. Now let’s do something quickly!”
The two waved their hands and used various abilities to arrange the crime scene perfectly.
…
After dealing with the follow-up to the last mission in the Southern District overnight, it took another whole morning to wrap things up. The three-person team was also exhausted from this mission.
Returning to the mansion called the base, but the decoration seemed to lack funds. Except for the practice basement, which was strengthened by a large number of magic circles, everything else was relatively simple and simple. Ah Fu breathed a sigh of relief and put down his huge suitcase.
"Be careful, something is wrong!"
Klein was the first to sense that something was wrong. After hearing this, the two people traveling with him also entered a fighting posture.
Although the team has not been together for a long time, during various trials during this period, Klein's spirituality has saved their team many times and helped them complete many research tasks.
Walking into the basement with caution, the three of them saw Conan's seriously injured figure lying on the ground. There was also a blood-stained manuscript in his hand.
Written in both Chinese and English, Klein glanced at it and only read the beginning and part of the content.
“Our family is in decline.
Do you still remember our ancient and profound mansion?
So rich and majestic.
…
We unearthed the abominable portal and ancient evil.
Our footsteps disturb the ancient land,
But at this moment we are trapped in the realm of death and madness!
In the end, I was left alone, crying and howling as I ran through—
—the darkening ancient arcades,
Until I finally lost consciousness.
Do you still remember our ancient and profound mansion?
Rich and solemn.
…”
"He is a person who forgets the Tao."
Teacher Conan reluctantly opened his eyes and grabbed Klein's arm:
"He snatched the key, but I also seriously injured him and forced him back. I also have a backup key. They should have no other strong people in Backlund."
"This document is the map. Go find this dungeon and stop them in advance! Protect important relics! They must not get them!"
After saying that, he closed his eyes and passed out, his breath gradually decreasing.
Klein quickly opened the suitcase and asked Ah Fu to perform first aid. Although Teacher Conan was fatally injured and his internal organs were already rotting.
But for the Saints, fatal injuries from crickets are never a big deal. It is not the extraordinary evil methods of Tingen City's Son of God and Eve. Under normal circumstances, their vitality is terrifying, so maybe they can be saved.
Gawain still remained alert, and Klein began to write a letter to Master Snape, asking the messenger to deliver it - no response.
Master Snape has been working undercover since Teacher Tom's death and is often unreachable.
So he sent another message to Malfoy and Flitwick, but of course no one responded. According to the setting, they were busy confronting other enemies. Klein knew that in this situation, only their team could complete the mission. !
…
"By the way, isn't our behavior a bit like Dumbledore and Harry Potter?"
Next to Klein, a man wearing more modern clothes rubbed his chin and communicated with the man in a tuxedo next to him.
"You just realized it now? The organization has decided that you will be the Dumbledore!"
The conversation between the two of them did not attract the attention of Klein and others. These three people were all martial artists with amazing intuition. However, because they were restrained by the superiors of the path, it was much easier to deceive them than to deceive normal extraordinary people of the same level, and there was almost no consumption.
Because their power was achieved by relying on the falsehood left by Gu Meng to achieve the truth, they naturally could not see through Gu Meng's secrets.
"But in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, shouldn't the final villain be Voldemort?"
The more modern person asked curiously.
"You are Voldemort, then what am I, Tom?" The man in the tuxedo shook his head.
"We share the same account, brother."
"Let's keep some distinction."
"...Stingy."
"I'm stingy? See who's the real stingy one, okay? Don't think I don't know. After we came into contact, the knowledge part is shared. Your ability can not only be projected to me, but also directly invite us to project to your world, right? Why don't you invite me to your home? Who's the real stingy one?"
"Ah, this... I'm afraid that everyone will accidentally leave some pollution. Although there are some intrusions in my world, the extraordinary ones disappear quickly. The overall situation is still very clean and peaceful. It's hard-won, hard-won... I'll invite you to be my guest next time I have the chance."
"Then it's a deal. Next time I'll go to your house and meet your wife."
"This... I'll definitely go next time!"
...
Klein flipped open the blood-stained manuscript and found that there was indeed a map on the back. The location pointed to was still in Backlund, but it was very marginal, almost leaving the city.
In addition, the map was a little damaged and not very accurate, so it would take a lot of time to search.
It is difficult to find the specific location of a place like this that is related to the Potter family, even with the ability of divination.
Klein looked at the time and found that it was already afternoon, and today happened to be Monday.
Although Mr. Snape had also missed the party, the frequency was much less than not replying to the letter, and he would ask for leave in advance.
Maybe he would know some information.
"I'll go to the other bathroom next door, you guys stay here first."
Gawain and Alfu had no doubts about this. At the beginning, they thought it might be some strange disease.
But after working together for a long time, they found that Klein often needed a closed room. It should be some special ritual magic. Although curious, neither of them asked much.
...
"Prepare for the party."
The voice of Mr. Fool echoed in the ears of the members of the Tarot Club.
...
Because this volume has been separated for such a long time, it has accumulated a lot of inspiration. I wonder if it should be more intense or more peaceful. I am entangled... or I am not capable enough. I want a lot but I should make choices.
By the way, I was rewatching the macho anime Angels Descend to Me while eating. It was so exciting!
