Chapter 231: The Fool

Doubled salary... Klein's expression turned grave, and he turned his head to ask Dunn, "Captain, if I want to join, what are the requirements?"

"It only requires the Bishop's nod," Dunn said with a faint smile. "This doesn't involve faith in the Goddess; in fact, all Nighthawks are members of the Dream Sect."

"Just as the Bishop said, this is a benefit, not an obligation."

"Very good," Bishop Chumen raised an eyebrow. "You have already become a member of my Dream Sect."

Very good, all the choices of the "Mysteries" have joined the Dream Sect; the fact that this "Mysteries" was once an Angel under the "Supreme Dream" can no longer be escaped.

There was an irrepressible joy between Klein's brows.

In this world where even formal wear is ridiculously expensive, an extra salary is enough to greatly improve the living conditions for him and his family in the days to come.

"Then do I need to do anything?" Klein felt he had to do something to be worthy of this salary.

"If you can, come here once a week to listen to the voice of the Dream," Bishop Chumen said.

"Alright!" Klein nodded with a solemn expression.

With the matter settled, Dunn soon took Klein and left Saint Selena Church, returning to Blackthorn Security Company.

"Captain, is this Dream Sect always this... wealthy?" Klein couldn't help but ask.

The divine robe on that Bishop Chumen just now, plus doubling the salary for all Nighthawks, all pointed to one fact.

"Well..." Dunn Smith smiled and took a gold coin from his pocket wallet.

Klein was confused.

"Theoretically speaking, all gold coins, and even the current paper Gold Pound, originate from the Dream Sect."

"In the Solomon Empire, there is a Dream Castle; it is the financial center of the entire world and sets the financial rules for the entire world."

"The currency system of Loen is all based on the rules of the Dream Castle."

"Hiss!" Klein gasped, shocked and speechless.

Controlling the financial rules of a world—that is indeed the wealthiest place!

"I can feel the Bishop's regard for you; if you can, you could also lean a bit more toward the Dream Sect."

Dunn Smith said suddenly; he knew Klein's family situation and knew he needed to improve his family's circumstances.

"You can delve deeper into the Dream Sect; there are all kinds of tasks there, and completing them can earn you extremely generous rewards. The rules there are also very suitable for a young person with an active mind like you."

"Even..."

Dunn Smith glanced at Klein, as if thinking of something, his expression a bit strange.

"The Dream Sect controls a special, safe Beyonder Pathway."

"A safe Beyonder Pathway?!" Klein had already learned some occult knowledge during this day and couldn't quite understand the word "safe."

"Yes, safe," Dunn Smith replied. "We have never even encountered a Beyonder of the 'Dream Path' who lost control."

To be honest, Klein was very tempted.

"Of course, this is very difficult."

"In fact, except for those who believe in the Dream with their whole heart for their entire lives, the others have no chance."

They had already returned to Blackthorn Security Company, and a young man sitting in the company lounge also heard this conversation and spoke up to add a sentence.

This young man was about the same age as Klein, with black hair and green eyes, a soft and handsome appearance, and a romantic temperament like a poet.

Leonard Mitchell, also a member of the "Nighthawks."

"Believe in the Dream with one's whole heart..." Klein nodded slightly; just this point alone was very difficult.

"In any case, let's first resolve the incident involving the ancient notebook you are carrying." Dunn Smith steered the topic back to the case.

"What kind of content is recorded in that notebook?" Dunn Smith and Klein both sat down, and the atmosphere began to turn serious.

"It seems to be a notebook of a Solomon noble from the Fourth Epoch..."

"A Solomon noble?" Leonard Mitchell sat up straight, becoming more serious.

"Yes, it seems to be... Antigonus?"

This surname carried immense weight throughout the mysterious world; in the Fifth Epoch, it gradually faded out of the Solomon Empire and gathered in the Hornacis Mountain Range, but in the Fourth Epoch, it was one of the most prominent surnames in the Solomon Empire.

So even if this notebook only came from a member of this family, it was extremely dangerous; this seemed to have already exceeded the scope that the Tingen Nighthawks squad could handle.

Dunn Smith's expression turned grave, and after some careful thought, he said, "We might need some help."

"Is it Ms. Daly?" Leonard suddenly laughed, looking at Captain Dunn with a meaningful smile.

"... It should be her." Dunn nodded gently.

"Why don't you just give in to her, Captain? She has been pursuing you for so long," Leonard teased with his hands folded, full of smiles.

Klein raised an eyebrow slightly, sensing the scent of gossip.

"... It is work time now." Dunn forcibly steered the topic back.

"Ms. Daly is a very excellent Beyonder; with her help, we will be more relaxed," Dunn explained to Klein.

But the sharp-witted Klein had already noticed that when mentioning Ms. Daly, the Captain's tone seemed to have changed.

"That's it for now, Klein, you go back and recall the whereabouts of that Antigonus Notebook, I will go and file an application now."

Dunn stood up and left in a hurry.

Klein looked at Leonard; this colleague also seemed to have a desire to confide, and as it happened, he was a good listener.

"Ms. Daly is one of our seniors, and a very excellent one at that; she has already gone to the Backlund Diocese."

That is indeed impressive; Backlund is a historic city as famous as the Solomon Imperial Capital... Klein nodded in agreement.

"Legend has it that after Ms. Daly joined our company, she launched a fierce offensive against the Captain."

"She even claimed to have received guidance from the Dream..."

Leonard and Klein huddled together to communicate, and after several exchanges of glances, their relationship became much more familiar; talking about such topics is the easiest way to bring people closer.

"Alright, I have already filed an application with my superiors, and support from above will arrive soon." Dunn came over quickly.

Only, after entering, what he saw were two colleagues sitting upright.

"Klein, have you recalled any key points? For instance, what was recorded in the notebook?"

Dunn did not dwell on it too much, instead looking at Klein to ask.

"Yes, yes." Klein hurriedly organized the memories in his mind and recounted them to his two colleagues.
