Mysteries: Arcana Wars

Leonard went to meet with Geraldine's informants. They planned to take a good rest in the next few days, and then go down to Hazel Street, which was controlled by the Tesla siblings. After getting a general understanding of the situation with Fors, Klein went out and prepared to go downstairs to buy some information from the bartender.

The Earthworm Island Bar was still lively and lifeless. There were many guests coming and going, almost filling up the small place, but the bar didn't have the bustling feeling of a bar on the ground. Everyone was silent or talking in a low voice, and then they looked at the other people around them warily, wondering if they would take something from them or if they could get something from them.

After cleaning, the adventurer once again attracted the attention of the drunkards with his elegant attire. This time, the eyes of the crowd were no longer sizing up the prey or mocking and despising, but more of a sense of vigilance, awe, and even avoiding him.

The reputation of the crazy adventurer spread once again.

Perhaps it was the instinct of most outlaws to seek profit and avoid harm, or perhaps it was the technology of the new era that accelerated the spread of the story. In any case, it was faster than Klein had imagined, but it was not a bad thing.

Klein could hear some quiet whispers coming from the table, which were similar to the rumors he had heard in the past few days.

Some amazing deeds have spread in Evernight Harbor, such as the madman who was always well-dressed and bloodbathed two gangs on the first day he arrived at Evernight Harbor and started a massacre in the Earthworm Island Bar. Some people said that the stranger had the characteristics of the legendary "crazy adventurer" and "sparrow killer", and might be a paranoid legend worshiper, but no one dared to give a conclusion, but subconsciously applied this name belonging to the legend to this newcomer.

Some even say that he is a "sleeping butcher", a "sleepwalking adventurer", and his greatest hobby is to kill people in his dreams. As long as he falls asleep during a battle, everyone else will fall with him, except that he falls into dreams while others fall into death...

...How come these things are getting more and more outrageous...

However, perhaps the faster rate of transmission led to a faster rate of mutation, and these stories became increasingly outrageous in just a few days.

The version Klein heard in the bar today was about a crazy adventurer who liked to kill people in his dreams who kidnapped a rich girl and fled to the underground city. Then Leonard, the cold-faced detective from Sivelas Field, chased her all the way underground. After a close duel, the two were in a stalemate. In order to ensure the safety of the rich girl, the paranoid detective had to follow him, but in fact he was waiting for an opportunity to take people away and was always ready to kill the desperado when the crazy adventurer was asleep...

...This has absolutely nothing to do with the facts!

"German, someone just came to see you."

When Klein went to talk, the bartender spoke first. The skinny bartender still looked sick and weak, as if he was going to vomit his life along with his words.

Klein walked forward, and before he could say anything, the bartender handed him something with his fingers like dead branches.

"The price has already been paid."

It was a playing card, the seven of hearts.

Citrine rotated clockwise under the bar. After making sure that there was nothing wrong with the items, Klein took the cards.

To his surprise, this was actually an ordinary paper card, with normal thickness, normal material, no mechanism, no interlayer. If he had 53 more cards like this, he would be able to fight evil.

Based on Klein's understanding of the Seven of Hearts, the opponent's style of doing things would never allow him to just leave an ordinary card for him to use to fight evil, but from a physical point of view, this is not even the bomb card that the Seven of Hearts likes most.

So Klein put the card into his pocket in front of the bartender, actually teleported it to the apartment safe house through the secret doll, and performed a divination on the card through the secret doll in the apartment.

[The purpose of the Seven of Hearts leaving this card].

Colors merge into the mind from the chaotic world, forming scenes of images.

In a dark and narrow tunnel, the Seven of Hearts was still in the image of the hot girl adventurer Gilda. She took out an ordinary card from her tattered clothes, inserted it into the crack of the brick wall, then pretended to tidy up her clothes and began to talk to herself in front of the card.

"Hey, hello, Hermann, Detective, and Sister Bessie!

"Especially you, Hermann. You didn't expect that I would survive! I'm sorry to disappoint you by not dying there."

His excited expression was as if there was really a non-existent person in front of him talking to him, but in fact there was only a card stuck on the wall in front of him.

"Oh, I knew you would definitely get this message. We are all fortune tellers, you wouldn't have these associations, right?

"Well, we haven't been getting along well recently, but I admit that I was able to have a lot of fun from you during this business. So I'll give you this card as a token of my good mood today. When the time comes, you can show me this card and come to me to discuss other business and fun. My spiritual intuition tells me that there will never be a lack of fun around you.

"As for when that time will be...how would I know! This is determined by fate, not me. I should just smile and keep silent about your question. After all, all fortune tellers have the same tone! Hahahaha!"

The divination scene stopped amid the chaotic laughter of the Seven of Hearts.

******

In the dark corridor, a dirty big white dog woke up from the muddy water. Its burly body and long fur made it difficult to tell at first glance that it was a dog with only three legs.

The falling groundwater hit Sota's nose. He couldn't help sneezing, then stood up tremblingly.

Everything that just happened was too difficult for Sota to understand. After all, he had just come to this world, and his immature and blank consciousness was not even able to recognize this colorful world.

It suddenly changed from a chair into a creature called a "dog", and then it ran after the humans and jumped into a colorful world, but because it didn't follow closely, it fell down again, and when it opened its eyes, it fell into the mud. But Sota couldn't understand what happened in the meantime.

Sota looked around in confusion, licked some mud and water to fill his stomach, and then groped aimlessly in a certain direction of the corridor. It seemed that this was the first time he came to a place outside the furniture store.

Perhaps because he had been unconscious for too long, Sota, whose three legs were weak, staggered and fell into the damp corridor again.

Only this time, a man in black and a cloak fell down from a hole above.

"...A...three-legged dog? Appearing in a place like this? In the middle underground city with a depth of more than 500 meters? How did you get down? What happened to your legs?"

Susie, disguised in human skin, walked up to Sota in surprise and patted him on the shoulder. There was a hint of surprise in her movements, but after trying a few words in Loenese, she just sighed in disappointment.

"Alas, as expected, you know nothing...

"After all, you're just a dog."
