The Game of Global Mining

Chapter 558 - 412: Start with the Butler

Think about it, how many days have passed since we captured Beelzebub?

As it turns out, this butler is indeed a loyal servant. Chun suddenly wanted to have a chat with him. If they hit it off, he could ask for help, like knocking out that "Baron of the Hospital" to facilitate his own actions.

But it’s just a thought. Not only is there no clue, but it’s also hard to explain to him. Explaining involves revealing a lot of secrets. He might not even cooperate, which would be troublesome.

Mina spoke up: "Master, the person you are looking at has a weakness."

Chun was surprised: "Is his hand broken?"

"There is an unusual fluctuation in his spirit. Although he is strongly suppressing it, appearing calm on the outside, inside it’s like a turbulent vortex under a calm sea surface."

Chun instantly understood: "During the battle with Beelzebub, Beelzebub forcibly possessed him. He took the opportunity to lock Beelzebub within his consciousness and, with Remia’s support, finally annihilated Beelzebub."

Mina said: "If that’s the case, one can imagine the extent of the damage to his soul consciousness. So, his actual injuries might be far more severe than just a hand injury."

Chun’s heart skipped a beat: "So, do you mean we can start with spirit healing?"

Mina sighed: "Master, entering the consciousness of such a powerful figure recklessly is very dangerous. Besides, his mental aberration is beyond my current ability to heal. He should be transferred to Oak City’s psychiatric hospital."

Indeed, the butler’s position concerns the City Beauty’s safety; his strength might not be T0 level in the city, but he certainly ranks T1, far above the drunken man we saw earlier.

Chun felt something was off: "Since he should be treated in Oak City, why hasn’t Remia arranged for him to go?"

Mina was surprised: "Maybe he’s hiding his condition? His strong suppression seems like he’s concealing it."

Under what circumstances would a person hide their illness?

Chun suddenly realized: "Could it be so severe that he’s no longer fit to be a butler, and he doesn’t want to be replaced, so he’s trying to heal himself with his own strength?"

"That’s possible!"

Chun got excited: "If that’s the case, we could discuss it with him. Can we first help stabilize his condition?"

Mina was a bit unsure: "If it’s just stabilization... it might be possible."

This could serve as practice for Mina.

The issue is how to make contact. Directly letting Black Cat appear in front of him would be too abrupt. After all, a black cat is always associated with bad omens. His first reaction would be to become alert, and it’s not easy to handle the soul of someone who remains vigilant...

At this moment — System Prompt: Your Sea God’s Personal Guard has received extra reinforcement and has been authorized to command "Drunken Captain Pulan"!

—— System Prompt: Your Sea God’s Personal Guard has received a message from Helen!

Ah, it worked! The Sea God’s Personal Guard now has an option to contact Pulan.

The Mermaid’s laughter echoed: "It worked, it worked, but I don’t know how to start the conversation with him, warrior, you do it! Use the identity of a divine envoy. From the looks of it, he seems to have drowned in the sea for a while and then miraculously survived. Just say that you’re the divine envoy who saved him."

Chun hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, the Lord is the Guardian God after all, can’t easily speak to ordinary people, otherwise secrets would be exposed."

The Mermaid sighed: "Hey, hurry up and talk to him, I’ll watch for fun."

Chun was surprised: "Can the Lord see?"

The Mermaid laughed: "Of course I can see, I’ve infused a lot of power indeed."

Suddenly inspired, Chun thought it might be better to use this bankrupt captain as an intermediary to send a message to the butler? No, sending a message that way would still expose secrets; he should carry a letter instead, so the butler would be mentally prepared, making things much easier...

In any case, let’s try passing the message first.

Chun communicated: "Pulan, have you sobered up?"

Pulan’s panicked voice responded: "Who?"

Chun had already crafted the lines based on the Mermaid’s script: "You drowned at sea then. It was a divine envoy who saved you. But you drink every day to escape fear, and the divine envoy is very disappointed, feeling it was pointless to save you then. Therefore, unwillingly, they dispelled your fears and saved you once more. You must pull yourself together."

Pulan’s voice was trembling with excitement: "I just seemed to have a dream, and I felt it... Are you the divine envoy?"

The script needed to be precise; pretending to be the divine envoy was inappropriate: "I’m just the messenger for the divine envoy."

Pulan wept: "I’m not a coward avoiding fear, my ship sank and I went bankrupt, owing massive debts I can’t repay..."

Holy shit, feigning madness because of debt?

Chun patiently guided: "But you’re different now; you need to pull it together, start a new life."

Pulan indeed perked up: "Divine envoy, please guide me!"

"I’m just passing the message."

"I understand. What qualifications do I have to trouble the divine envoy anymore? The Lord in my heart is the divine envoy."

"Just call me Lord."

"Lord!"

Haha, it doesn’t feel too bad.

Chun directly addressed the main issue: "Do you know the butler of the Silver Flower Mansion?"

"Of course, I know him, Butler Saffirio. But he doesn’t know me. I’m just an ordinary captain, moreover bankrupt."

This was going to be troublesome.

Chun had no choice but to tackle it head-on: "The butler was injured a few days ago and is hospitalized. I hope you will visit him and deliver a letter for me."

Lamp was in a difficult spot: "Is it in the First Noble Hospital? People like me aren’t qualified to enter, and he doesn’t know me..."

Chun was getting anxious, so he resorted to the ultimate move: "Do you owe the butler money?"

Pulan was alarmed: "Of course not, how could I dare borrow money from him."

Chun came up with a terrible idea: "No, you should shout at the hospital gate, saying you’re there to repay his debt! Out of curiosity, he will certainly come to see you."
