Chapter 91 Mr. A's Party
Evan chose Hugh Deercha as a member of his team not only because he knew from the original work that she would become a member of the Tarot Club, but also because of the secret of her own background.
Because only half of the content of "Lord of Mysteries" was unlocked in his mind, Evan had no way of knowing what King George III's secret was, nor did he know the truth about her family's decline.
All that is known is that her father was once deeply trusted by the former king, "The Strongman," and served as the commander of the royal guard and the chief of the palace guard. Seven years ago, he was accused of participating in a rebellion and was hanged. The Deercha family was stripped of their fiefdoms and titles.
The position of chief of the palace guard is not one that just anyone can hold; those who are qualified are among the king's most trusted men.
Moreover, according to Evan, the members of MI9 who are loyal to the royal family are in contact with the Chief of the Royal Guard.
In other words, Hugh Deercha's father, like Robert, was actually a powerful figure who could truly control MI9.
This shows just how serious it was that Hugh's father was accused of participating in a rebellion.
From the original book, Evan discovered that the person who had recruited Hugh into MI9 had actually been taking care of Hugh all along.
Whether it was giving Hugh Deercha simple but rewarding tasks or suggesting that Hugh exchange his merits for potions instead of recipes, he genuinely cared about Hugh.
Not to mention that he even gave Hugh Deercha the right to refuse missions without punishment.
MI9 isn't a charity organization. Anyone who knows their superior's identity and is preparing to join has no right to refuse a mission. If you dare to be arrogant when given the opportunity to join, we'll immediately turn you into an extraordinary individual.
But none of this bothered the people at MI9 who had drawn her in, and they were very lenient with her.
Based on this information, Evan could easily guess that this person must have received a favor from Hugh Deercha's father, which is why he helped his daughter when he found her wandering the streets.
At this point, he noticed that his former superior's daughter had brought someone to the gathering, which naturally drew his attention.
Evan nodded to the man wearing the golden mask who was staring at him, then looked away from him and turned to look at the others.
There were quite a few people here, chatting in twos and threes. Many people used various methods to hide their identities, but some seemed to disdain hiding their identities and openly revealed their facial features.
The most eye-catching figure was a man in a black robe sitting on a sofa on a slightly higher step. He wore a hood, hiding his face in the shadows, and silently watched the guests below, as if he were watching a flock of lambs.
"That's Mr. A, an extremely powerful Extraordinary, and also the organizer of the gathering," Hugh Deercha whispered to Evan.
As Hugh Deercha strained to speak into his ear, Evan keenly sensed the person sitting in the corner...
The man wearing the golden mask fixed his gaze on him with eyes as bright as the blazing sun.
"It seems he really cares about his former boss's daughter!"
Evan chuckled inwardly, then deliberately leaned close to Hugh Deercha's ear and whispered:
"I know. We'll do the transaction separately later, so as not to attract too much attention from others."
Hugh Deercha's ears immediately turned bright red as Evan approached, though her mask concealed her expression.
Evan felt the gazes directed at him become sharper and couldn't help but smile smugly.
Just then, the sun began to set, and the house became unusually dark after the door was closed. Several servants quickly lit kerosene lamps, making the atmosphere eerie and solemn.
Evan saw two blackboards in front of him, one showing what the members wanted to buy and the other showing what they wanted to sell.
Evan didn't have anything he wanted to sell, so he went straight to see what the other participants were selling.
"Dust left by a vengeful spirit, 150 pounds."
"Roselle the Great's Notebook, 3 pages, £25."
"Mummy powder, 10 grams for 5 servings."
Evan looked around but couldn't find what he needed, so he casually wrote down his requirements and handed them to the waiter next to the blackboard.
After the waiter wrote down the request, he shouted it three times in succession inside the room:
"Seeking to purchase all the blood of the Black Abyss Demon Fish, 800 gold coins. Even though Mr. A's gathering is one of the largest gatherings of extraordinary beings in Backlund, this amount of money still attracted attention."
Evan even sensed that Mr. A had slightly raised his head to look at him, not to mention those greedy eyes.
Evan simply smiled at this; if there were any fools out there, he wouldn't mind making some extra money.
Soon, waiters would wander around the room, asking guests to write down what they needed. If they saw anything they liked, they could request a room to conduct a secret transaction.
Evan didn't need anything, but he needed to make contact with Mr. A, so he wrote down the true name of the real creator.
Sure enough, these waiters were believers in the true Creator. They glanced at the note, quickly covered it up, and then went to collect the notes from the others.
Soon it was time for the transaction, and those who wanted to trade entered the trading room under the guidance of the waiters. Evan also entered the basement under the guidance of the waiters.
It was unusually spacious, yet also unusually dark, and the decorations resembled those of a temple.
In the center is an upside-down cross that is 3 meters tall. On the cross is an upside-down giant with legs bound by chains, arms outstretched, and a huge single eye.
Standing before the upside-down cross was an exceptionally handsome man, watching him. This was none other than A, Evan's target.
Mr.
Without the slightest hesitation, Evan directly uttered the true name of the true creator in front of Mr. A, and then said to Mr. A:
"I'm from Tingen. You should have received Mr. Z's letter!"
Mr. A smiled slightly when he saw that Evan dared to recite the name of the true creator without any hesitation before the statue of the true creator, and then said:
"I did receive your letter. I was planning to contact you later, but I didn't expect you to come so soon."
"I am eager for the Lord's return, and I also have important information to report, so I am contacting you immediately."
"Oh, what's the matter that's so urgent?"
Mr. A found it strange. He knew that Evan had only been in Backlund for a few days, so how could he have something important to do?
Evan quickly recounted everything about his divine revelation in Tingen, witnessing the first massacre, his joining MI9, and how, after becoming a hunter, he discovered that, thanks to the grace of the true creator, he could simultaneously consume assassin pathway potions.
"I believe this is the will of the Lord. He wants me to join the Witch Cult. I feel it is my duty to do this, which is why I am contacting you urgently."
