Chapter 223 The Messenger's Demand for Reward
During the operation to rescue Ms. S, Raphael and Leonard encountered a Level 1 sealed artifact that was in a rather strange state.
According to the information Raphael later obtained, the sealed artifact was called "Pain's Hand," and it not only possessed a "living" state, but it also seemed to have a certain degree of self-awareness.
Later, Raphael wondered if this sealed artifact had escaped from that Quaternary relic.
It now appears that not only did they escape, but they also entered the spirit world and are living quite comfortably there.
This is not surprising, after all, he has the level of Sequence 3. In the spirit world, as long as he is a little clever, he will rarely encounter opponents.
Raphael made the connection to this Level 1 sealed artifact because he noticed that the clothes the other person was wearing looked somewhat like the clothes he had purchased for the undead under his control.
The only difference was that the color of the clothes had changed, and the style seemed slightly different, so he didn't recognize them at first glance. It took him a few more looks before he remembered.
The reason the other party was dressed like that was because Raphael had taken away a living corpse from that Quaternary ruin.
It now appears that the sealed artifact must have possessed the living corpse to gain the ability to move freely.
It's no wonder the other party was able to find them, because that living corpse still has a certain mystical connection with Raphael.
Fortunately, Payne seems to have forgotten Raphael and still intends to act as his messenger.
Seeing that Raphael didn't react, Payne asked, "What? Are there any special requirements for being your messenger?"
"No," Raphael smiled. "I was just thinking of something else."
After a moment's thought, he asked, "What reward do you hope to receive for helping me deliver this message?"
No matter how strange the other party's state is, the witness to the contract is the "original" party, and the other party will never dare to breach the contract.
Furthermore, Raphael was also very interested in this sealed artifact and hoped to study how the other party's self-awareness was formed when he had the opportunity.
Payne thought for a moment before saying, "Give me a fresh corpse of Sequence 6 or higher, without any extraordinary characteristics, every month."
"If you can provide a corpse of a Saint-level being, I can deliver your letters for free for a year."
Raphael readily agreed, "No problem."
For him, corpses at Sequence 6 level were still quite common.
Raphael then took out the written contract and showed it to Payne. The general content of the contract was that the messenger could not harm the summoner, could not open or discard the letter without permission, and must deliver the letter to the target accurately, etc.
Payne nodded, indicating that there was no problem, and then took Raphael's pen and signed his name on the contract.
Next, Raphael signed his name, and while he was signing, he asked, "Don't you have a surname? You need to sign your full name here."
Payne thought for a moment before saying, "I've also forgotten if I have a surname. Those memories are very vague. Recently, my thinking has become clearer, unlike before when I was so confused."
"But even without a surname, this name can provide enough occult connections."
Raphael nodded: "Okay."
He thought to himself: It seems that after the seal was broken, Payne's self-awareness has grown rapidly, and now at least normal communication is no longer a problem.
After Raphael signed his name, the paper with the contract on it suddenly burst into pure white flames and quickly burned to ashes.
In an instant, Raphael suddenly felt an unparalleled gaze upon him, a gaze from the witness of the contract, "the original creator."
Payne felt the same gaze and took a step back in surprise: "You—who did you invite to witness our contract?"
Raphael smiled and said, "It's clearly written in the contract: the First Creator."
"The First Creator?" Payne's surprise hadn't faded when he looked like he was trying to remember. A few seconds later, he seemed to recall something: "The First Creator!"
Raphael said, "That's right."
Payne's face was grave: "I think I know why the spirits guided me here, but at the same time, I don't know anything at all."
Raphael thought to himself: Only after communicating more can I realize that he is still different from normal people.
He smiled and said, "I need you to deliver a few letters for me in a little while, but I don't have any fresh corpses at Sequence 6 right now, so I estimate it will be a few days before I can pay you."
Payne snapped out of his daze: "No problem."
Raphael concluded, "It's a pleasure working with you."
Payne added, "It's a pleasure working with you."
Then, Payne vanished into the void.
Raphael tidied up the altar and returned to the study in the villa. He wrote a letter to Audrey, agreeing to set a specific time after the New Year to explore the painting together.
He also wrote down how to summon his messenger at the end of the letter.
He then wrote letters to Hugh and Carter, the current head of the Mafia, instructing them on how to summon their messengers. For the latter, in particular, Raphael was to specify how to set up the summoning ritual.
After writing the letter, Raphael sealed it with sealing wax, summoned Payne, and asked him to deliver it.
As Payne's figure disappeared, Raphael smiled slightly. The extraordinary messenger was quite convenient.
Queen's Road, in Earl Hall's luxurious villa.
Audrey, who was having afternoon tea alone, sensed something and saw an unfamiliar middle-aged man open a phantom door and walk out from the spirit world.
-
Audrey immediately stood up and assumed a defensive stance.
Susie, the golden retriever standing nearby, immediately stood up and stared intently at the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man was Payne. He tossed the letter next to Audrey's teacup: "Your letter."
The next instant, he vanished from Audrey's room.
Audrey was taken aback, then realized the other party was a messenger: "Aren't messengers all spirits? Why is this messenger a flesh-and-blood human being?"
She didn't sit down immediately, but stood up somewhat warily and picked up the letter.
After opening the letter and reading it, Audrey breathed a sigh of relief; it turned out to be Raphael's messenger.
This messenger is really something else!
However, Raphael did not clarify whether the messenger was a person from the real world.
At this moment, Susie, the blonde, asked, "Audrey, I'd really like to know how to get my own messenger."
Audrey glanced at Susie: "Obtained a messenger?"
Why does Susie need to summon a messenger? Or rather, whose messenger is she summoning? Does the dog need a messenger before?
Susie said, "I always thought that only spirit beings could be messengers, but I never thought that people in the real world could also become messengers."
"Does this mean that some creatures in the real world can also become messengers? In the future? Will I also be able to have a messenger?"
"Maybe not, Susie," Audrey thought to herself. "How are you going to hold a pen and write a letter?"
Seeing Susie's disappointment, she smiled and said, "You see, I don't have a messenger either, but I can teach you how to summon someone else's messenger."
Susie reluctantly agreed.
