Chapter Ninety-Three: A Fortune of Ten Thousand Gold Pounds

"So, that piece of your 'scholar' extraordinary trait ......" seemed to recall the first time they met, Bonnie muttered.

"Yes, I picked up the piece of the extraordinary properties after he left. Later, in an accident, I was forced to swallow it, and I became an extraordinary person. ”

"That's right, I saw the whole process of devouring with my own eyes, and Chris almost got killed by the gangsters. Bonnie said with a palpitation.

Although it is unclear why and how Chris accidentally ingested the extraordinary properties, they have identified the murderer of the homeless man's disappearance, "Arsonist" Pol.

"Thank you very much sir for your help. Wayne smiled, "Since you are a member of the City Lord's Guard, you have also been investigating this case for a while. Why don't we work together for the next period of time?"

"I'd love to. "But I've been following this case for two years, and he's not alone." Not only is this 'arsonist' ruthless and cruel, but the forces behind him are even more mysterious and dangerous. ”

"I know your good intentions, but we are also part of the 'Punisher', how can we easily back down when we are in danger?" Wayne said with a firm look in her eyes, "Isn't there your help?"

"Okay. Zach was already a little moved, "Officially, I'm the sequence 8 'Flame Walker' of the 'Qiguang People' path, I don't know your current sequence path?"

Hearing Zack's words, Chris thought to himself, it turns out that Sequence 8 of "Qiguang Man" is called "Flame Walker", and when you hear the name, you know that extraordinary abilities are related to flames. I just don't know why he didn't join the Constant Light Sun Church.

"Oh, my name is Wayne Giles, and I'm a Sequence 8 'decryptor'. Wayne raised an eyebrow and smiled.

"My name is Bonnie, and I'm a Sequence 9 'Doctor'. Bonnie lifted her hands slightly on the sides of her skirt and nodded.

"My name is Paul and I'm a Sequence 9 'Investigator'. ”

"My name is Chris Simon, and I'm a Sequence 8 'Arcanist'. ”

Zack, who heard the last sentence, was obviously stunned, and then asked:

"What does Cole Simon have to do with you?"

"He's my adoptive father, do you know him?" Chris was also a little surprised, after all, he hadn't seen Cole have this friend since he was a child.

"No, I don't know him, it's just that his son Ryan used to work in the City Lord's Guard. Zach said, "Actually, there is another thing, that is, Ryan's death may be related to the forces behind Pol, so ......"

That's why he knew about Ryan and Cole, so this case had something to do with Chris.

And Lane had died fourteen years ago, because the Earl of Wellington asked him to secretly investigate this matter, and the parties involved were Lady Sally, Lane, Pol......

"That's right. ”

Chris didn't ask Zach about Ryan's death back then, because no matter how he thought about it, he knew that since Zach had been tracking for so long, it was definitely not a simple matter.

"It seems that this case is not only about the disappearance of the homeless, but also about Chris himself. Wayne said.

"So what are we going to do next to catch that Pol's murderer?" asked Chris, looking at Zach.

"It's not easy, I'm afraid, he's cunning, and he's unpredictable. "He should have a magical item that can be used for divination, so whenever I track down his location, he can get rid of it." ”

Divination magical items? I have them too.

Then Chris took out the pocket watch he was carrying with him and said:

"I also have one, does that mean we can also divinate his current whereabouts?"

Wayne looked at the "greedy money" that Chris took out with bright eyes, and said:

"This is a magical item that can be used for divination? I always thought that Bert was the richest of the three of you, but I didn't expect that there was an invisible rich man here. ”

"Yes, divination-type magical items have the highest price in their class, and they are all hard to find. Paul said.

Chris looked at the "greedy money" in his hand, although he knew that the magical item was precious, but he didn't expect the gift from the teacher to seem to be more precious than he imagined.

"You carry it with you, the side effects shouldn't be too big, right?" Vayne asked, staring at his pocket watch.

"Well, the side effect is that it's too expensive. Chris smiled wryly.

Then Chris looked at Wayne and Paul and said:

"Can you lend me a gold coin?"

Although he didn't know why Chris was borrowing gold coins now, Wayne pulled one out of his pocket and gave it to him.

Chris took the coin and stretched it out to "Greedy for Money", and after a few seconds, a faint yellow light emanated from the pocket watch, and the metal eye on the cover seemed to blink, and the coin disappeared from Chris's hand.

Except for Bonnie, who had already seen this kind of scene, everyone else couldn't help but be amazed, this obviously had some "living" characteristics.

"Don't you say, that's the side effect of it?" seemed to think of something, and Wayne's voice became a little higher.

"Yes, I pay one gold pound for each use, so I've only spent three gold pounds so far. Chris said with a distressed look on his face.

"Oh my God. Wayne exclaimed, "There are such strange side effects." ”

"But I've only heard of one of the side effects of magical items that can be solved with gold. ”

Looking at the magical item in Chris's hand, Zach said:

"Then in the hands of Waldhouse, the captain of your 'Punisher', I heard that it is his most precious magical item. ”

"Yes, there are many side effects of general magical items, although they are not as big as those of seals, but they can also cause various troubles to users in ordinary life. Especially in battle, it can affect the victory of the battle and even life and death, so most extraordinary people do not wear magical items for a long time. ”

Wayne raised her eyebrows, thinking of the side effects of those magical items that she had applied to the church before, and couldn't help but feel a little envious.

Although Zach was only a secret guard of the City Lord's Guard on the surface, he not only had a friendship with Wardhouse in private, but was also a member of the Constant Light Sun Church, so he naturally saw more than everyone present.

So he looked at Chris and said:

"Let's put it this way, being able to solve the side effects with gold coins can only show that this magical item can be worn anywhere, and it also means that it is very precious.

"So in the future, Chris, you still don't easily expose this side effect of it, in my estimation, it is worth the least of this number. ”

As he spoke, Zach held out an index finger.

"A thousand gold pounds?"

"No, it's ten thousand gold pounds. ”

Chris, who had never seen so much money, felt for a moment that he was holding a large piece of gold, still pure gold.
