Secret: The undead do not die in the fire

Chapter 318 Information Exchange
The so-called dinner party, in fact, can be summed up as dancing, eating, chatting and eating.

In this harmonious atmosphere, the guests left one by one.

Mobet and Leonard got into the four-wheeled carriage he had just bought and drove towards Pacefield Street in the dark, illuminated by the dim light of rows of gas street lamps.

Mobet looked at Leonard, who seemed to be thinking about something, and asked curiously:

"What are you thinking?"

Leonard Mitchell slowly raised his head and suddenly said:

"Where did you and Dwayne Dantes meet?"

Mobet raised his eyebrows and replied with a smile:

"Dixie County, what's wrong?"

Leonard Mitchell stared into Mobet's eyes and said word by word:

"You can use this rhetoric to fool others, but it can't fool me."

Mobet smiled and did not comment, while Leonard Mitchell continued:
"You once said that you were trapped in a book for thousands of years, and only recently escaped. Even the old man was a little puzzled as to how you could live for thousands of years, because you are not even a demigod. In theory, you should have died of old age the moment you left the book."

"And according to what you said, someone saved you and asked you to believe in a certain existence."

"And the person you said saved you was Ash Black."

Mobet was about to speak, but Leonard interrupted him and continued:

"He is an angel, even stronger than the old man, so it's not surprising that he has this ability. And this is also the opportunity for you to meet, so you act so familiar, and you tell the old man not to worry."

"And the old man also noticed your relationship and realized that he was the one who saved you, so he simply stopped hiding it."

After a pause, Leonard continued:

"It may also be that the old man felt that there was no point in hiding, after all, he should have been discovered long ago, so he simply gave up. After all, you were able to accurately find St. Samuel's Church in the first place, and someone must have provided accurate information. This person was Ash Black."

Mobet raised his eyebrows and said seriously:
“I think the second possibility is more likely.”

"hehe!"

The old voice in Leonard's mind sneered, but he didn't know whether he was guilty or something, he didn't refute it.

Mobet chuckled and said:

"But I have to correct that."

"It was indeed Yu Jin who saved us, but he was not the one who told me the old man's information."

"Ok?"

Leonard looked at Mobete deeply.

His words revealed two meanings - he called Ash 'Ember'. Although Ash Black was the name he registered with the Church of Evernight, perhaps 'Ember' was his real name.

Of course, it is also possible that both are pseudonyms.

After all, it is an angel and it is unlikely that he would reveal his real name.

What's more, a name is just a code name, there is no need to worry too much about it.

Another meaning is that the other party implicitly admitted that there was more than one person who saved them from the "world in the book"!
Leonard quickly asked:

"That person is Dwayne Dantes?"

Mobet smiled, neither confirming nor denying.

Leonard said calmly:

"It doesn't matter if you don't tell me. You stayed in the world of the book for thousands of years. When you came out, you were in the Sonia Sea. Then you took a cruise ship directly to Pritz Harbor and took a steam train to Backlund. You have never been to Desire County, and it is impossible for you to know Dwayne Dantès in Desire County."

"So both of your identities are fake. You didn't meet him in Dixi County, so it could only be in Sonia Sea."

"You know Dwayne Dantès, and you know Yu Jin, and he also knows Yu Jin. This further proves that Dwayne Dantès was also there when Yu Jin rescued you from the world in the book."

"You should have arrived at Pritz Harbor at the same time, but you chose to return to Backlund, while he took a steam train to Desire County. So the time you arrived in Backlund was a few days different. During this time, he should have been in Desire County preparing for the identity of Dwayne Dantès."

Leonard spoke faster and faster, and his tone became more and more certain, almost certain that this was the whole story!
Mobet shrugged and said:
"So what are you going to do? Report us to the Church of Night?"

Leonard glanced at him and said coldly:
"You know this is impossible."

Not to mention that once Mobet is exposed, the old man inside him will also be exposed, and it will be difficult for him to continue to gain a foothold in the Church of Evernight. Moreover, Mobet was saved by Ember, and Ember knew Dwayne Dantes's fake identity. Ember was also an angel with a close connection to the Church of Evernight.

In other words, the fake identities of Mobet and Dwayne Dantes were, to some extent, guaranteed by the angel Ember.

If he went to report to Archbishop St. Anthony in person, the Archbishop would most likely not solve the problem, but would solve him as the person who raised the problem... Leonard knew it clearly, so he would not try to report these two people even if he blew himself up.

Mobet touched his chin and asked in confusion:

"Since you understand everything, why are you asking so clearly?"

Leonard fell silent, and Mobet did not disturb him, just looked at him quietly.

After a long time, Leonard said in a complicated tone:

"Before August last year, I was working in Tingen. Tingen is a very small place. The strongest official Beyonder is only Sequence 7, and I was only Sequence 8 at that time. But the danger there is also very small, and most of the time we can easily deal with it."

"But in August, we were forced to be involved in a conspiracy. The mastermind of the conspiracy was a traitorous archbishop of the Church of Darkness. He stole a level 0 seal from the church and used it to plot a crisis in which the evil god descended."

"During that crisis, most of the Beyonders were transferred away in advance. Only three people remained at the headquarters, and I was one of them."

"Although we succeeded in preventing the evil god from coming, they all died. I was the only one who survived by chance."

Leonard couldn't help but clench his fists. Even now he is still upset about that incident!

Why wasn't he the one who died?

Mobet, who heard this story for the first time, also fell silent. He could understand Leonard's feelings and asked hesitantly:

"What does this have to do with your search for Dawn Dantes's identity?"

Leonard took a deep breath, adjusted his mood, and said in a deep voice:

"Yu Jin had been to Tingen before, and had a good relationship with one of the dead teammates. I suspect they knew each other at that time."

Mobet felt it was a bit absurd and couldn't help asking:
"Do you suspect Dwayne Dantes was your dead teammate?"

"Yes." Leonard did not hide his guess.

"How is this possible? Yu Jin did save us, but that only applies if we were still alive. This is completely different from coming back to life! And didn't you confirm the death of your teammate?"

Leonard said calmly:

"I buried him myself."

"Then why do you ask?"

Mobet was a little bit unbelievable. Could it be that he had been parasitized by the old man for too long and his brain was damaged?

Leonard said in a deep voice:

"When I was still a Sequence 8, I met a Sequence 6 Nighthawk. She was a Beyonder on the Path of the Corpse Collector. At that time, she was only a Sequence 6, but she already had the ability to manipulate the dead and natural spirits. So I naively thought that demigods might have the ability to bring people back to life." "But the old man told me that there are indeed people in this world who can bring people back to life, but demigods definitely can't do it. But the old man didn't say that only gods can do it, which means that angels also have this ability, right?"

"And your and the old man's reactions tell me that Ember is an angel!"

So that's why he suspected that Dwayne Dantes was his teammate who came back from the dead?

Mobet hesitated for two seconds, then slowly asked:
"Do you have any evidence?"

"Yes." Leonard nodded without hesitation.

Mobet had a strange expression on his face and joked:
"You didn't dig up the grave of your teammate, did you?"

Mobet thought Leonard would reply with a cold face, "Am I that kind of person?", but Leonard showed a thoughtful expression instead - he seemed to be thinking about the possibility of this matter.

The corner of Mobet's eye twitched. To be honest, this was indeed beyond his imagination.

Leonard pondered for a moment and said:

"Not long after my teammate was buried, Backlund gained a new detective named Sherlock Moriarty. The timeline is completely consistent. Most importantly, they look almost exactly the same."

"Unfortunately, when I wanted to start the investigation, the detective had disappeared in an accident."

Mobet hesitated for two seconds and asked:
"When?"

“Two days before New Year’s.”

Mobet lowered his brows slightly after getting the answer. He had done some research on that crazy adventurer while at sea.

Although most pirates are in awe of this famous bounty hunter and know very little about him, the only thing that is certain is that this crazy adventurer first appeared in the Sonia Sea in January of this year!

Gehrman Sparrow first appeared in Pritz Harbor, when he was on the White Agate heading to the Rorsted Archipelago.

This information was told to him personally by Captain Ellan of the White Agate.

Mobet's eyes flickered slightly:
"The timing is indeed very coincidental."

As soon as Leonard's teammate died, Backlund gained a new detective named Sherlock Moriarty.

Just as this detective Sherlock got into trouble, a new man named Herman Sparrow, who was feared by pirates, appeared on the sea.

As soon as Gehrman Sparrow disappeared from the sea, Backlund gained another Dwayne Dantès.

Mobet didn't know whether the two could be equated, but he knew that German Sparrow was Dwayne Dantes! It was no wonder that Leonard suspected that Dwayne Dantes was his dead teammate. If it was Mobet, he would probably have doubts too.

Mobet suddenly asked:
"What does your teammate look like?"

Leonard thought about it, took out a photo from his pocket and handed it over.

Mobet took the photo and took a look at it. In the black and white photo, there was a young man with a very bookish air.

Leonard suddenly asked:
"Have you met him?"

"never seen it."

Mobet shook his head, his attitude very frank.

Because he had never seen it.

In fact, he didn't even know what German Sparrow looked like -

After all, he was a faceless man who could change his appearance freely. For such an extraordinary person, as long as he didn't want to, no one would know his true face. This was true for Mobet, and the same was true for Vice Admiral Iceberg.

Well, Ember might be an exception, but they couldn't just ask Ember directly, right?

Mobet then asked:

"What's his name?"

Leonard was silent for a long time, then said:

"Klein."

Mobet asked calmly:

"Which path of Beyonder is your friend?"

Leonard observed Mobet's expression and said slowly:

"Fortune teller's way. When he died, he was already a Sequence 8 Joker."

Mobet looked thoughtful, but in his heart he was inexplicably surprised!

Unlike the Beyonders of the Fifth Epoch, Mobet, who was born in the Fourth Epoch and is from an angel family, knows far more "common sense" than the Beyonders of today. For example, although he does not know the formulas of potions from other pathways, he clearly knows the names of low-sequence potions in each pathway.

This was also what the old man requested. He did not need extraordinary people from other paths in the family, but he must know what abilities the extraordinary people from other paths had so that he would have a way to counter them.

Most angel families basically have similar rules, and they are also capable enough to understand what capabilities other channels have.

And the faceless man happens to be Sequence 6 of the Fortune Teller path!

Isn't this becoming more and more of a coincidence?
Mobet's face remained expressionless, and no flaws were discovered.

Leonard stared at him for a long time but didn't notice anything, so he had no choice but to give up.

After all, if the other party is determined not to speak, he can't force it.

At this moment, the old voice in his mind suddenly said:

"Resurrection from the dead is the ability of the 'Fortune Teller' Path Sequence 2 'Miracle Master'."

Leonard's pupils shrank sharply. Was this indirectly telling him that Yu Jin was an angel from the Fortune Teller path? Because he was an angel from the Fortune Teller path, he had a great liking for Klein, who was also from the Fortune Teller path, so he brought Klein back to life?
Mobet noticed Leonard's strangeness and asked:
"What did he tell you?"

Leonard did not hide anything and repeated the old man's words.

Mobet was lost in thought for a moment, but still spoke:

"Ember should not be an angel of the 'Fortune Teller' path."

Leonard's expression changed slightly, but he didn't reveal too many flaws. He slowly spoke:

"I don't think I told you about my other teammate's situation?"

Mobet asked doubtfully:
"Didn't he die too?"

"Correct."

Leonard nodded and said:
"That was my captain. In order to fight against the evil god, he forcibly used Saint Selina's ashes and eventually died as a result."

"But before he died, Crane gave him a ring."

"When the captain died, the ring was shattered. Surprisingly, the captain survived."

Mobet's pupils shrank sharply. A ring that can bring the dead back to life?

Is it because there has been a precedent of resurrection that Leonard is so sure?
