Chapter 245 Communication
"I'm going to Creighton City, Captain. I'll leave tomorrow." Seeing everyone's heated communication, Kaska looked at Camus quietly. Camus also looked at him and smiled.
"You said last week that you were going to Creighton City. Is there anything I can help you with?"
"Captain, I don't lack anything except money. How about some sponsorship?" Kaska grinned and asked Camus for money with a playful smile.
"Ahem... As the captain, I have to talk to you. You are so old, can you be self-reliant? Don't just..."
"How much do you need?" Before Camus finished speaking, Laura spoke softly.
"Steam machinery blueprints are relatively expensive at this stage. Although I can make some elemental grenades and bullets now, I must try to make some steam engines myself in the later stage and use them in actual combat." Kaska spoke softly, his eyes flickered, and I don't know what he was thinking.
"Tell me how many gold coins you want. A sequence six after the third stage is beneficial to us. I will help you as much as possible." Laura crossed her arms and sat high up. She asked Casca how much money he wanted again.
"400 gold coins. This is only part of the initial stage. It will be needed later."
"When you arrive in Creighton City, go to the local Industrial Bank and open a new account. I will transfer part of the money to you regularly."
"Okay, alas... it's too expensive."
Seeing Laura take out 400 gold coins without blinking, Camus opened his mouth and asked a question.
"How much money do you have?"
"The fixed assets are worth about 200,000 gold coins, including some bank shares, factory shares, manors and land. In addition, the family's trade fleet will give me a part of the income every time it returns. The non-fixed assets are about 100,000 gold coins. White and Black are slightly less. The assets of the two of them are probably equal to mine." Laura calmly said a string of numbers, and Camus stopped breathing. According to the value of one gold coin equal to 10,000 yuan, Laura's assets reached a full 300 million.
"Ahem, it's okay, I have to be quiet." Camus coughed to cover up his embarrassment.
"You can tell me if you don't have money. Some things can be solved with money, but it's a good thing." Seeing Camus didn't speak, Laura continued to speak generously.
"I have tracked down senior personnel who are proficient in hieroglyphics, most of whom are high-level extraordinary people. There is no good target at present. I am going to put down my work and prepare for promotion." Hei saw that everyone was silent and spoke deeply.
"How about the sea? Can we check it out at sea? Some traitors of the church may know this knowledge." Bai thought about it and spoke softly. It is true that ordinary clergy cannot access this kind of advanced knowledge at all. Since there is no suitable target on the mainland, let's look for it at sea.
"When I come back from Rainbow Island, I will go to the Bounty Department and Intelligence Department of the maritime government to check, but it may take half a month." Hearing Bai's suggestion, Gandalf pondered for a moment and nodded slowly. Indeed, many church members have defected over the years. They all ran overseas. Maybe there will be wanted criminals who know hieroglyphics among them.
Seeing that everyone had finished speaking, Camus lowered his voice and said one thing.
"Recently, there is a lawful person committing a crime in Caldecott City. He has obtained the Heart of Wrath. I can't find his trace at all. Gandalf, you are in the same order as him. Do you have any way?"
"Seven Sins Ritual? This is a special ritual of the Raven Organization. I don't know much about it, but the function of the Seven Sins Ritual is to unseal and summon." Hearing Camus' description, Gandalf immediately knew what it was. He showed a curious look and wanted to hear some more details.
"I can't predict his whereabouts. I suspect that he has powerful seals and magic equipment on him, or the direction I predicted is wrong, but the other party has always known what I am doing." Camus told a few people what happened to Shu Locke, and then looked at them solemnly, hoping that they would give appropriate suggestions.
"Xiu Locke, he is a person that the church has focused on training. It is impossible for a group of lawful people to make him mutate. Since you said that he was contaminated by the Eternal, all this is very possible. We don't have any good suggestions. Since it is confirmed that he is a member of the Dark Raven, according to their temper, they will definitely leave some clues for you to find." Laura frowned when she heard Camus's story, especially when Camus mentioned the note, her face became gloomy. She expressed her judgment and suggestions.
"Have so many things happened in Caldecott City? Camus, which so-called special department did you go to? Do you need my help? Recently, I feel that I have been studying all the time. I haven't fought for a long time." Susie was a little excited when she heard that so many things had happened. Her tone was even a little anxious.
"Read your book well. Have you finished the history of the Third Age?" Hearing that Susie, a violent maniac, was interested in extraordinary events, Camus cursed softly and then resumed his contemplation.
"Alas... I guess my sister won't let me go. She's been telling me not to mess around and to go home on time. I was scolded today for going home too late." Susie's expression suddenly became listless, as if she had thought of something. Camus' mouth twitched a little. This girl was usually fine. She was more excited than anyone else when it came to fighting. This made Camus very helpless. The problem was that he couldn't beat her. It was a disgrace to the time traveler. Isn't it infuriating?
"By the way, have any of you heard of the word Kadom?" Camus suddenly remembered that there was one thing he hadn't asked, which was about the sealed object in his house.
"Eh... Such a familiar name, but I can't remember it." Laura was lost in thought when she heard this familiar word, but she couldn't remember it.
"The door that seals everything, this is the explanation in the hieroglyphics." Susie, who was unhappy, spoke weakly, and her words shocked Laura instantly.
"You have only studied for a week and you have learned hieroglyphics and can interpret them? Or you learned it by yourself."
"What do you mean by self-study? The book you asked the fox to give me is all your notes. Don't worry, I haven't learned it that fast. I have learned about one-third of it. Among them, it talks about the word Kadom. To be honest, this language is indeed difficult to learn." Seeing Laura's shock, Susie lay on the table and spoke lazily.
"Abnormal, I also learned it at that time, and it really made me feel dizzy. Is it that simple?" Hei complained in a low voice. He knew that Susie's learning ability was very abnormal, but he wanted to complain every time.
"Wow, amazing, I haven't learned it yet, Susie, you are amazing." Bai Yiting immediately praised Susie, his face was a little pale, and he looked pitiful.
"Wait... I seem to have heard my father say this word, let me think quietly." Laura interrupted everyone's discussion, his face was a little confused, everyone shut up immediately, Laura closed her eyes immediately, and recalled a certain picture.
It was ten years ago in a luxurious palace, a handsome curse fox was sitting on a red high-back chair, Laura was still young at that time, she asked her father a question.
"Father, where is my mother." Little Laura looked at the man sitting on the high-back chair curiously, and the clear voice echoed in the grand and luxurious palace. He was wearing a well-made princess dress, holding a sheep doll in his hand, and several maids stood behind him.
"Oh... little Laura, your mother went out for something."
"Where did she go?"
"The Gate of Kadom"
Because she didn't learn hieroglyphics at the time, she didn't know what it meant until she got the bad news that her mother disappeared in the dark turmoil. She didn't connect the Gate of Kadom with the dark turmoil at the time. After a while, Laura opened her eyes and said something deep.
"It's called the Gate of Kadom. I don't know what this door is. This is the second time I've heard this word. It may be related to the dark turmoil ten years ago."
"Dark turmoil? Where did you get this information, Camus?" Hearing about the dark turmoil, everyone held their breath. No one was willing to look for the tragic past. The description in the book was already chilling. It was purgatory, it was desperate, it was a living hell. Now the lives of the entire Caldecott city were moved from other places. The original citizens of Caldecott, except for a few lucky ones, were all dead. Except for White, Gandalf, Black, and Laura, no one else knew what was going on.
"According to Camus' analysis, most of the reasons for the dark turmoil ten years ago were related to the evil gods, and the mutation of the extraordinary people was also directly related to the evil gods. I think this reasoning is very likely." Seeing that no one was talking, Susie told the information she knew about the dark turmoil.
"We have discussed this matter, but what exactly is the Gate of Kadom? Camus, where did you get the information from?" Hei spoke with a serious expression. Although he didn't know what the Gate of Kadom was, anything related to the dark turmoil was not a good thing.
"I have a sealed object at home, a picture frame. It used to seal the Queen of Diamonds. I picked it up with Kaxiu." Camus thought about it and told the news that he had a sealed object at home. After hearing his description, the hall was quiet, except for a few people who knew about it, they all opened their mouths.
"Oh my God, you dare to pick up the top sealed object that can imprison high-ranking people, and you can still live until now. Are you the son of time?" Gandalf changed his usual calm demeanor and spoke loudly. His face was shocked.
"He is really the son of the times, one of the candidates for the times." Hei Zhang opened his mouth to add a sentence.
"Is there any problem? There will be no problem after we pick it up." Kaxiu was confused at first, and then he spoke softly after seeing that everyone's expression was wrong.
"Admiration..." Bai glanced at Kaxiu and whispered two words.
"What does that sealed object look like?" Laura looked at Camus with a sharp gaze. She had also seen top-level sealed objects, and even her Guilty Crown was not inferior to top-level sealed objects to a certain extent. He was just curious about how Camus survived until now.
"There is a door in the painting. The text on it is very similar to hieroglyphs, very retro, and the pattern is very unique. It is a closed black door." Camus described the appearance of the sealed object in detail. He also saw that his own sealed object was extremely unusual and even had extraordinary dangers.
"Things that can seal high-level objects must not be low-level seals. Think about it, the first-level and second-level seals have the appearance of doors." After hearing the description, Laura recalled that the first-level seals in her memory did not have such a door, so she could only ask everyone.
"It is very likely that it is a first-level seal, but apart from the records, a large part of the first-level seals have been lost, and the existing first-level seals do not have door-type seals." Gandalf thought for a while and spoke in a low voice.
"Then what about the second-level seal? The only second-level seal door type is the Tam Gate, which can connect to the world of the spooky elves, but he is in the hands of the Poker Club and used it three years ago. It is impossible to seal the Queen of Diamonds who died in the Second Era." Hei recalled and shook his head.
"It can only be a first-level seal, a seal we don't know about." Laura thought about it and spoke decisively.
"Why did the Queen of Diamonds come back to life? According to the records, she died completely, leaving only a part of her soul and incomplete extraordinary characteristics, and this condition cannot bring her back to life." Susie said lightly. Before, Caldecott City was in an uproar because of the Queen of Diamonds. She thought about this question, but in the end, because it was none of her business, she didn't think about it in detail.
"Where is the true spirit inside?" Laura looked at Camus and asked because she couldn't figure it out.
"Uh, there is no true spirit. Maybe this is why I am still alive." Camus thought about it and spoke in a low voice.
"I understand. The Queen of Diamonds can only escape when her true spirit is asleep or seriously injured. No matter why the Queen of Diamonds resurrected, Camus... let's give this thing to other organizations." Susie whispered and made appropriate suggestions.
"I have reinforced the seal. It is still stable at present. Does the Freemasonry want it?" Camus thought about it and decided to send this thing away. First, he asked the Freemasonry of Laura's family.
"No, we can't enter the vision of the big organization. Find a place to bury it. When we have the ability, we will dig it out. It's a pity to give it away." Laura refused decisively. She pondered for a few seconds and spoke calmly.
"Okay."
