Mysteries: Arcana Wars

Backlund is 669 meters underground.

Dungeon Night Harbor.

After a period of observation and exploration, Klein and the other two had a general understanding of the current situation in Evernight Harbor and were finally ready to take the next step.

Klein's original plan was this: after settling in Evernight Harbor, he would first find the Tesla twins hiding underground and complete the task given to Leonard by Lady Gloria, then go to the Lost Gales Library to find Manstein Note No. 45 and fulfill Scott's wish.

They had met many informants and visited many places these days. Fors gradually calmed down from the initial panic and tried hard to learn the various operations of adventurers and detectives. She even began to try to write poems again in her room.

Before setting off from Evernight Harbor, they still need to conduct a round of procurement and arm themselves in every sense.

Thinking of this, Klein was a little excited. Thinking about how he had been a complete blank slate since he woke up, he could only survive on those evil Void Matches, and the pistol that Abraham's killer "sent" him at the beginning. He felt very insecure, and now he could finally get some extraordinary items.

Especially those void matches, Klein now urgently wanted to find some powerful extraordinary items to replace them. He tried to reduce the number of times he used these matches, because the black smoke and the growing hallucinations made him feel very uneasy and disgusted. Using such things of unknown origin always came with unknown risks.

Especially those illusions with floating black smoke, which not only deprive him of his perception of the real world step by step, but also leave a bunch of negative effects such as imbalance and disorientation after the illusion disappears, making him show a kind of beauty without cerebellum.

Now Klein recalled that the side effects of this hallucination had actually begun to manifest when he woke up. Due to the appearance of the illusion of Melissa, the illusion of black smoke enveloped him, causing his spiritual intuition and other perceptions of the real world to become slightly out of balance, so that he did not immediately discover the spiritual line of the Abraham killer. However, the impact at that time was far less severe than it is now.

Klein held the matchbox with the image of the square Roselwen. The words of the illusion Melissa reappeared in his mind. A sense of resistance and some bad guesses rose in his heart.

...this box of matches...will it erode me further the more I use it...

The adventurer stared at the matchbox for a long while, then put it in his pocket and put another silver pistol into Fors's hand. This was the spiritual weapon he had taken from the Abraham killer.

"Take this Starlight first, and remember to drink plenty of water."

[Starlight] is a silver-colored pistol. It can be used as an ordinary pistol under normal circumstances. However, when the trigger is pulled with an empty magazine, Starlight will directly extract the user's spiritual energy and condense bullets to fire. The strength is similar to that of ordinary bullets. Its negative effect is that it accelerates the user's thirst, especially when shooting continuously, which can easily cause the user to become dehydrated or drained of spiritual energy.

Of course, this name was something Klein came up with. He didn't know what name the killer had given the gun before, but now that it was his, it was [Starlight].

This is not a very powerful weapon. This spiritual consumption should not be a problem for Fors. From Leonard's state, it can be known that Fors's memory should have been modified and her extraordinary ability sealed. She has extremely high protection against prophecy and divination, but it does not mean that she has completely become a mortal.

Fors was a little confused after hearing this, but she still carefully took the gun, and her hands were even shaking a little.

This this this is... gun gun gun gun gun???

I actually got a real gun???

"This, this, this, this..."

"For your self-defense, remember to aim at the opponent's head."

"Ehhhhh?"

Seeing the way she held the gun, the adventurer realized that the poet had no combat experience at all, so the adventurer demonstrated the structure and usage of the pistol.

“This pistol…is there no bullet?” Fors asked in a low voice.

"No bullets needed, just pull the trigger."

Fors swallowed and half-heartedly stuffed the Starlight Pistol into his big pocket, but clumsily dropped a small cylinder.

Under Fors's nervous gaze, the small cylinder rolled to the side of the detective and was picked up.

The detective looked at it for a moment, then threw it to the adventurer without saying a word. The adventurer immediately recognized that this was the secret book left to Fors by the liar in the bar on Earthworm Island, saying that it was a life-saving secret book for the dungeon. He didn't expect that Fors really kept this "life-saving secret book" well.

Rather than calling him a liar, it would be better to say that he is just a troublemaker...

Klein even suspected that the man came to Earthworm Island to stir up a dispute between the two gangs, and even had some fun in it...

What was the name of the puppet master, Huang Mao Xi Tuo? Anyway, this should not be his real name.

Klein opened the cylinder and took out the thing rolled up inside, and found that it was actually a playing card.

【Seven of Hearts】

"…You've been carrying this as a talisman?"

Fors's eyes wandered and her face turned red.

"This...what if what that yellow-haired Xito said is true? You also said before that it's always a good idea to be cautious in the dungeon."

"If you want to be more cautious, you can put newspaper inside your clothes. What if it can really block the bullet?"

Miss Poet, this is not the time to use caution!

"Next time someone stuffs something into your mouth, remember to throw it away immediately."

As he spoke, the adventurer took out a gold coin with a five-pointed star printed on it, threw it up into the air, and then caught it steadily.

An image emerged in Klein's mind.

A man nimbly appeared from the firelight on the battlefield. His face was covered with a bright red triangular scarf, and he was neatly throwing a series of playing cards at the enemy. Once these pieces of paper collided, they immediately exploded into a large ball of sparks.

These playing cards are all of the same suit - the seven of hearts.

Wow, this yellow-haired Xito actually gave me some real stuff!

But this thing... is definitely not worth fifty gold coins...

"Keep it well. This playing card can save your life at a critical moment. Keep it well."

As he spoke, the adventurer rolled up the playing cards neatly and put them back into Fors' pocket. He could feel Fors heaving a sigh of relief.

"Because it's a trigger bomb."

Fors immediately took a deep breath and tremblingly moved her hand away from the pocket.

Speaking of bombs, Fors would always think of the early morning when the apartment she rented was blown up by a sudden missile. She had been having nightmares during this period, and to this day, every time Fors thought of this incident, she was still terrified.

If it weren't for that madman Hermann who saved me that day, I would have died there...

"By the way, speaking of bombs." Fors suddenly remembered something and turned to ask the silent detective, "Since the terrorists attacked me that day because of the Abraham satellite signal I mentioned on the radio program, then how is Miss Audrey? Was she attacked?"

"Audrey is fine. There were only some terrorists who smashed the store. There were no missiles or casualties. Abraham also sent people to secretly protect the clinic."

Leonard replied calmly.

But the next second, Leonard felt something was wrong again. He raised his head and met Klein's eyes and saw the same confusion.

Abraham was indeed secretly monitoring Fors and Audrey, but Leonard and Klein knew the level of these Abraham spies. If they had one or two experts, Klein would not have been able to contact Fors so easily, and he would not have had to spend so much effort to bring Fors out. They could have moved these surveillance targets away by themselves.

The two even read the same confusion and worry in Fors's eyes.

"Miss Audrey...how did she escape?"
