I have a Synthesizer

At night, Klein and Joe sat on top of the freight car chatting. Although this trip was long, the journey from the Imperial City to the Eastern Territory only took six days. He wanted to gather as much useful information as possible in these six days.

Klein set up a silencing barrier and a windbreak barrier on top of the carriage. Then, he casually used Bone Extension to catch a few birds and started grilling them with Joe.

As for why not use a synthesizer? It's because Klein felt that using a synthesizer for a sentimental thing like grilling was soulless.

Klein's grilling skills were only so-so, but even though his grilling wasn't great, he was definitely a master of controlling fire, at least to the point of not burning things.

At this moment, he held a large grilled quail in his hand. This quail was even larger than a turkey from his previous life. It was a non-elite magical beast with tender meat and a fragrant aroma. He tore off a quail leg and ate it with relish.

Joe on the side was also gobbling down food. He was usually a cultivation maniac. When he cultivated, he basically asked the arcane mages for bread to eat. So, the time he truly enjoyed life was as scarce as Klein's.

"Bro, my Shadow Extension has improved a lot recently. Since we have nothing to do right now, explain the theory of dual extension synchronization to me! I've been craving that move you wrote down last on your notes, the King of Decay, for a long time."

However, Joe paused for a moment and then continued, "Bro, haven't you heard the saying that those who claim kingship don't have good endings?"

Klein said disdainfully, "Bullshit, you believe that too? And how do you know I can't claim kingship in the future?"

Joe didn't expect Klein to be so headstrong, actually saying something like claiming kingship directly.

"Okay! Let's not talk about claiming kingship for now. Can you tell me how to use this move? Before coming here, I already broke through to the third rank. I should have reached the minimum cultivation standard you wrote down."

Third rank? Hearing Joe's words, Klein raised his eyebrows. Joe's speed of improving his strength was too fast. His improvement was fast because he had a cheat, but Joe, as an ancient relic as well, should have some secrets he didn't know.

However, just like he would explain Fireball in detail to Sean, he had nothing to hide about the Decay Monarch, especially since it was his own brother.

"Alright, I'll only explain it once, so listen carefully."

Klein began to explain the principle of bone + shadow dual extension synchronization, which was also the basic principle of releasing dual extension moves and dual extension combat forms.

He spoke very quickly, but even so, the entire theory took a full half hour to explain. Throughout the process, Joe did not interrupt Klein even when there were things he didn't understand, but instead chose to write them down.

After listening to Klein's theory, Joe pondered for a long time.

"Although there are still many things I don't understand, I already have some clues. Bro, can you let me see the actual effect of this move?"

Klein shook his head.

"The King of Decay is too loud. Using it will flatten this carriage, and I can't expose my strength here. Our mission is to hide."

Joe said with some regret.

"Okay, if I have the chance to see it with my own eyes, I'll have a better idea."

Klein nodded. Mentioning the mission, he still had some questions he wanted to ask Joe.

"Did you guys bring any special missions this time? Tell me about it."

Joe's face looked a little ugly.

"This is a confidential mission. You're a support personnel now. Whether it's according to the rules of the Jess Society or Dad's instructions, I can't tell you. Aren't you making things difficult for me, bro?"

Klein raised his head slightly, looking at Joe with a smile that was not a smile.

"You just took so much knowledge from me for free, and now you're turning your back on me? Are you sure you won't tell me?"

"Alright, then return those few strange objects from before, as well as that barrel of dragon blood and that magical notebook with dual extensions. Also, don't eat this barbecue anymore. It's getting late, you should go back to sleep."

Damn it, we're brothers, do you have to be so ruthless?

Although Joe was helpless, he couldn't bear to part with the barrel of dragon blood that Klein gave him, let alone return the magic notebook. He hadn't learned the King of Decay yet!

"Okay, okay, we're brothers, don't always threaten me, okay? I'll tell you, but don't tell anyone else."

Klein laughed. "Definitely, I'm very tight-lipped."

Joe hesitated for a moment and said, "Our mission this time is assassination."

"Assassination? Assassinate who?"

"I don't know."

Klein immediately glared at him.

"Are you playing me?"

Joe immediately defended himself:

"I really didn't. It's not that I'm not telling you, it's that the mission order didn't say the specific target. It only told us that after entering Amadis, we need to maintain a good state of combat and be ready to carry out the mission at any time."

Klein narrowed his eyes. Judging from Joe's appearance, he shouldn't be lying. If the missions of Lilith's team, Alvin's team, and Gwen's team were all assassinations...

Then what was the mission of their team? To supplement the combat power of the assassination teams? Or other direct military actions? Thinking of this, Klein asked Joe again.

"Do you know anything about that Alvin?"

Joe curled his lips in disdain, seeming to have a very poor impression of Alvin.

"Alvin is just a weakling who relies on resources. I beat him up during the entrance exam. If it weren't for a few teachers intervening, I would have killed him."

Klein curled his lips. Beating up a weakling is just beating up a weakling. Beating up a weakling doesn't mean you're awesome.

"He's very weak? If he's really that weak, why can he still become the captain of a team and participate in this mission?"

Speaking of this, Joe put down the quail in his hand.

"There's a person named Quinn in their team who is a very strong warlock. This person is an old member of the Jess Society. I don't know why he joined Alvin's team, but he immediately raised the overall combat power of Alvin's team."

Warlock Quinn, Klein nodded. Rare professions such as warlocks, death knights, paladins, and wizards were not uncommon in the Jess Society, because the Jess Society was originally an assembly of elites, so it was normal for a master warlock to appear.

"Okay, let's talk so much for today. You go back first. I want to be alone for a while."

"Oh! Then I'll go first."

Joe had just taken two steps when he turned back and stared at Klein with a cheap smile, making Klein feel uneasy.

"If you have something to say, just say it."

Joe pointed somewhat embarrassedly at the other grilled quail on the fire.

"Can I still eat that quail?"

"I thought it was something. Take it back and eat it."

"Okay!"

Although Joe felt that he was always suppressed by Klein and often beaten up by Klein, at least Klein had never let him suffer, which was why he had always been willing to be a loyal follower.

After Joe left, Klein sat alone by the bonfire and began to think. Announce the mission target after arriving in Amadis? Who will announce it? Gwen, or Alvin's group?

Also, in a distant enemy country, who was his father trying to assassinate? If it was an important figure in the enemy country, wouldn't the risk be a bit too great?

The value of their group was not small. Joe and he were both in the group. According to the saying that ancient relics were very important, if they were sacrificed like this, wouldn't the cost be too great?

Thinking from another perspective, what if they were not killing people from Grandok, but people from their own Tyrrell? Frando, who was to be rescued? Or the Great Princess Qianhua?

The more Klein thought about it, the more likely it seemed. However, one was a person the Empress specifically wanted, and the other was the Empress's daughter. If they were really assassinating them, Esmonde was playing a bit too big.

Klein shook his head. Without enough information, there was no need to make rash judgments. He just needed to be prepared.

… …

Joe brought the grilled quail back to his carriage. The aroma of grilled meat immediately attracted the attention of many people. After all, unless they brought some dry food with them, they basically had to rely on eating bread along the way.

Because Klein was in a bad mood, the bread he kneaded wasn't very edible, but of course, it wasn't too bad either. At most, it was a little below average, the kind that was too soft or too hard.

Therefore, these bread-eating people felt a little uncomfortable looking at the grilled quail in Joe's hand.

And that was the effect Joe wanted. Although grilled quail wasn't anything special, it was enough to make others envious at this time.

As soon as Joe returned to his seat, just as he picked up the quail and hadn't taken a bite yet, Lilith's voice came over.

"Where did you get that?"

Joe immediately had a bad feeling, but he still honestly said:

"My brother grilled it just now."

"Give it to me, go get another one." Lilith directly reached out to Joe.

Joe felt a bit resentful in his heart. Just because you're the captain? Can the captain just take my things casually?

Asking him to go back to Klein to get another one was like going back to be abused? However, he didn't dare to refuse Lilith, so he could only honestly hand over the grilled quail.

Lilith picked up the grilled quail and started eating it directly, not forgetting to praise it while eating.

"Hmm, grilled well."

She couldn't eat arcane food. The jerky she brought was too dry. If she had the opportunity to change her taste, she naturally couldn't let it go.

Joe looked at Lilith and saw that his captain didn't seem to have any intention of sharing with him, so he could only take out his bread and eat it dryly.

… …

Late at night, the carriage was still relatively quiet. Because they were not ordinary club members, everyone maintained a certain restraint with each other.

When most people were asleep, Lilith got up and walked towards the rear of the carriage.

Shadow Three looked back at Lilith. He didn't speak, and he couldn't see the expression under the mask. It wasn't until Lilith left the carriage that he slowly followed.
