Chapter 385 Gehrman Sparrow Goes Online
After hearing Evan's explanation, Klein felt somewhat relieved.
At the same time, he also understood why the two Horn brothers would often actively participate in the reforms and aid and abet the evildoer while knowing all of George III's plans, while secretly contacting Bernadette and encouraging him to cause trouble for George III behind his back. They had many self-contradictory and neurotic behaviors.
Even Klein now felt some sympathy for the situation of the Robert and Evan brothers.
On one hand, the Augustus family used them as pawns, and they were controlled by them in everything.
On the other side are their own family's mortal enemies, who are trying every means to kill them. If they don't actively fight back, they will be doomed forever.
The Horn family was caught between two enormous forces, struggling to maneuver and fend for themselves.
This fact left Klein, who had intended to persuade Evan, momentarily at a loss for words.
After all, if the Einhorn family were truly willing to make an exception for the Horn family, it might actually help the Horn family escape their long-standing predicament.
However, Einhorn's condition for opening the door was that the Horn family would betray them at a crucial moment.
It appears to be about the Horn family betraying the Augustus family, but in essence, it's about the Horn family betraying the entire Kingdom of Rune. The entire Kingdom of Rune will bear the full cost, which is something Klein absolutely does not want to see.
While Klein was unsure how to begin, Evan noticed his thoughts, chuckled, and said:
"You don't need to worry that my brother and I will actually agree to Einhorn's conditions."
Ahomatova Einhorn seriously underestimated the Horn family, believing that after so many years of decline and the lack of a high-sequence extraordinary individual, the Horn family had long lost its sense of revenge.
Just by throwing us a bone or expressing a willingness to reconcile, you think we'd fawn over them like lapdogs? That's utterly delusional!
Evan wasn't lying. Others might not know, but he was all too aware of his own ambitions and Robert's thoughts.
Although neither of them ever said it outright, their actions clearly indicated they were preparing to kill the Evanhorn family.
Peace talks? That's a joke!
How could the Einhorn family possibly offer more generous terms than the entire Fussac Empire?
Klein breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. As long as Evan and his brother did not betray the entire Kingdom of Rune, he could accept it.
"Then I will no longer interfere in the matter concerning Akhmatova Einhorn. You must handle it carefully!"
This contest involving angels was far beyond Klein's current capabilities. As long as he was certain that the Horn family would not betray him, he wisely decided not to get involved and extricate himself from the situation.
Evan also didn't want Klein to get involved, since it was, to some extent, their family's private matter.
Moreover, there is actually a lot of room for maneuver in this matter.
Indeed, neither Robert nor Irwin could accept the Einhorn family's terms and choose to acquiesce to them.
But that doesn't mean Robert and Irwin can't take this opportunity to do something.
Indeed, from the Horn family's perspective, they could not completely betray the Kingdom of Rune and allow the Fusak Empire to defeat it, but they could sell it out at a crucial moment.
Even in special circumstances, it's not impossible to sell it back.
To reiterate, in Robert's mind, the Einhorn family was the number one enemy, while the Augustus family was the number two enemy with whom he could temporarily unite.
Most of the time, we should actively cooperate with the second enemy to strike the first enemy.
However, when the number two enemy gains power, it is not impossible to temporarily "balance" the number two enemy together with the number one enemy.
On one side is the Angel Family, a lineage that has lasted for thousands of years, possessing the most industrialized country and the largest colony in the world.
On one side is also an angel family with a history spanning thousands of years, possessing the largest territory and the strongest military power in the world.
For the Horn family, playing a double game between these two forces is like walking a tightrope.
However, given that the Horn family is the weakest of the three, they have no choice but to walk this tightrope.
To reiterate, what the Horn family lacks most right now is time.
The fact that 008 broke away from the Church of the Night Goddess and that George III's ascension ceremony was about to be completed foreshadowed the inevitable slide of the future world situation toward a world war.
Unfortunately, Robert and Irwin found out about these things too late, and there was no time to make further preparations. So they could only resort to the most aggressive methods to create a more favorable situation for themselves and to give themselves more cards to play.
If Evan could have arrived in this world ten years earlier, he would never have considered walking a tightrope between the two options. After all, who wants to deliberately risk their life? Who doesn't prefer to quietly make a fortune?
After revealing the story of how Akhmatova Einhorn instructed "Alice" to turn Evan against his side.
Klein then told Evan about what he had done using the identity of "Alice" during this time.
In fact, Evan knew most of the things perfectly well, and many of them were suggestions he made directly.
During this time, he went to the naval training ground to continue training the new army, also in order to avoid the task of finding "Alice" falling on him, and to once again fight with both hands.
"It seems that George III's plot to find the 'Black Emperor' and the Loen Kingdom government's plan to plunder the people's wealth have completely failed."
Klein, every person in Backlund should thank you for your hard work!
Evan never minded providing emotional value to others; after all, saying a few nice words wouldn't hurt him.
Moreover, deep down, he admired Klein's purely altruistic behavior. Although he would never emulate him, it didn't stop him from feeling respect for him.
"No, no, my success is inseparable from your help and that of Miss Justice, Miss Magician, and Miss Judgment."
Without your help, "Robin Hood" would never have been possible. The name "Robin Hood" doesn't just refer to me; it represents everyone involved in this endeavor!
Klein didn't get carried away by Evan's praise. Instead, he spoke very emotionally about the help Evan, Audrey, Fors, and Hugh had given him.
Without Evan providing the alias "Alice," Klein couldn't mobilize the power of the Fursac Empire, which was the foundation of all his plans.
Without the information provided by Audrey, Klein was unable to pinpoint the exact locations where those nobles and merchants were stockpiling medicinal herbs.
After all, these people are her relatives, and there are no convenient conditions for others to inquire about such matters.
Without Hugh's help and deliberate leniency, Klein could not escape MI9's inescapable net.
After all, hunting down Robin Hood has become the top priority for all official forces in Backlund during this period.
Without Fors's help, Klein didn't have a portable "space pocket" that would allow him to move all the stockpiled medicinal herbs by himself.
Klein still vividly remembers the notebook that contained many "space" abilities.
In some ways, that notebook, when considered as a whole, is even comparable to the "wriggling hunger" in his hand.
Klein was genuinely grateful to everyone who had helped him.
Regarding Klein's gratitude, Evan remarked with emotion:
"You don't need to put all the credit on others."
Indeed, you would have found it difficult to achieve this level of accomplishment without our help.
But correspondingly, without your initiative, we wouldn't have thought of doing this.
Without your hard work, this would never have succeeded. You are irreplaceable!
Evan and Klein exchanged a few compliments and smiled at each other.
"George III will not give up investigating the 'Black Emperor' matter. As long as you are still in Backlund, things like this will definitely keep happening."
Moreover, there's no reason to guard against thieves for a thousand days. So, just in case, you should leave Backlund as soon as possible, as we've already agreed!
I will also find a way to leak the news that the "Black Emperor" has left Backlund.
From any perspective, Klein should not remain in Backlund, which was something they had agreed upon beforehand. Therefore, Klein did not raise any objections. Instead, he went into the bedroom and took out a stack of documents for Evan.
Evan flipped through the documents in his hand and was surprised to find that it was a real estate transaction contract. The address on it was right next to Klein's apartment.
"This is?"
"This is my landlord's house. In order to weather this crisis and preserve their hope for a future turnaround, they chose to keep their stocks and sell their property!"
I bought it because the price was relatively cheap, and now I'm giving it to you to keep safe.
If Benson does manage to get a government job in Backlund and brings Melissa to live there, then you can hand over this house to them. After all, you're still nominally holding some investments with 'Klein'!"
Evan flipped through the documents in his hand, which already contained a contract for Sherlock Moriarty to resell the property. As long as Evan signed his name, the property would be transferred to his name, and then Evan could transfer it to Benson and Melissa!
Evan paused on the table with the file in his hand, and said with a smile:
"You'll never get rid of your worrying habit. Benson and Melissa have come to Backlund, so it's only right that I, a close friend of 'Klein,' take care of them as hosts. Why would you worry that they won't have a place to stay here?"
Okay, I'll hand that house over to Benson when the time comes!
Oh, by the way, this is the identification document I prepared for you. You can attach a photo and fill in your name on it yourself!
Evan had anticipated Klein's departure from Backlund, so he had prepared the necessary items for him long ago.
Klein will certainly not keep a low profile like he did in Backlund this time. Without a verifiable identity document, his identity will be easily exposed, and he could be easily targeted by unscrupulous individuals.
In the original story, it was Bernadette who provided him with this identity, but now that Bernadette is gone, it is naturally Evan who has to provide it.
Klein took the things from Evan, thought for a moment, took out a pen, and wrote his new name on it—German Sparrow.
Evan immediately understood why he had chosen that name, and simply smiled before saying:
"At the latest, I will go overseas for military training after the New Year."
King George III will surely give me a task at that time.
After all, the Kingdom of Rune was badly hurt this year because of the Fusak Empire. If he didn't do something, he wouldn't be able to explain himself to either the domestic or international audiences.
Therefore, I hope you can help me gather some intelligence about the Zonia fleet of the Fussac Empire.
Klein nodded in agreement with Evan's assessment, and in his heart, he felt guilty that Evan would be pushed to the forefront because of the huge trouble he had caused George III. He was determined to pave the way for Evan's next voyage.
"Besides intelligence on the Fussac Empire's navy, what else can I do for you?"
With Evan's keen perception, he could naturally sense the guilt implied in Klein's words, and without any intention of being polite, he said directly:
"Besides the matter of the Fusak Empire, you'd better get in touch with some pirate generals and help me gather some information about them or the pirate kings."
George III would certainly like to cause trouble for the Fussac Empire, but the Fussac Empire is too tough and there is a risk of him breaking his teeth, so it is possible that he will ask me to target these big pirates.
But these major pirates aren't so easy to wipe out. If they were, the various countries wouldn't have dragged this out until now. So I need you to be able to gather this kind of intelligence. If you can infiltrate them, that would be even better!
Klein had never liked pirates. He read about pirates killing passing merchants almost every day in the newspapers, and the methods they used were often extremely cruel and inhumane.
Therefore, Klein is very willing to help with anything that can help combat pirates and establish a safe and stable order.
Moreover, his name, Gehrman, has the connotation of hunting evil!
"Combating piracy is a great thing; I would have done it even if you hadn't told me to."
Klein is now tasting the benefits of leveraging national power for his own use, as evidenced by his almost complete digestion of the 'Faceless Man' potion.
If we can leverage Evan's influence to mobilize the power of the Kingdom of Rune and the Church of Storms when fighting pirates, we can surely achieve the best results.
"Besides, when you enter the ocean, you will definitely pass by Bansi Island. If possible, I hope you can go ashore and explore it to see if there are any unexpected things."
Seeing Klein's quick agreement, Evan kept pushing him harder.
"Um, what message did you receive?"
Klein also noticed Evan's emphasis on Bansie Island.
"Actually, it's nothing. I just recently heard some news that the family of Medici, the King of Angels under the True Creator, is located on that small island that used to be called 'Binsi' but is now called 'Binsi'."
Medici is the King of Angels of the War Path, and this matter may be related to my future promotion, so I hope you can help investigate.
Of course, there are certain risks involved, so please prioritize your safety.
Seeing Evan's seriousness, Klein's heart tightened, and he nodded, saying:
"Don't worry, I know what to do, I won't be a show-off!"
