After listening to the story of the "Hanged Man", Crane inevitably thought of the "Red Angel" Medici and the evil spirit in the underground ruins.

However, he did not share the findings of this exploration, first, it is not necessary for the time being, and second, it involves Miss Sharon.

As for the other members, they had already learned about the destruction of Bansey Port last time, and the "Hanged Man" did not reveal new information, so naturally he had no idea of responding.

Seeing that everyone did not speak, Alger glanced at the "world", retracted his gaze, and said calmly:

"It's your turn. ”

"Hermit" Gardelia immediately turned her head sideways and looked at "Magician" Furth:

"Ma'am, what else do you know about Mr. 'Gate'? I can pay you accordingly. ”

Furth, who didn't want to reveal his problem, suddenly hesitated and wavered when he heard the second half of the sentence.

Remuneration, I don't know how much the "hermit" lady can give me...... I don't know enough about Mr. "Door"...... And partly from the words of Mr. "Fool", "Magician" Furth looked at the top of the bronze table again......:

"Dear Mr. 'Fool', may I speak?"

Because every time there is a full moon, they will see each other, Klein knows that Miss "Magician" is not in a very good financial situation, so he smiled and nodded:

"Yes. ”

Furth breathed a sigh of relief silently, and turned to the "Hermit" Gardelia:

"For 500 pounds, you can apply for a separate exchange. ”

Gardelia didn't make a counteroffer, and thought for a while:

"No, just say it. ”

She hoped that the other members would hear Miss "Magician" and think more about Mr. "Door".

Firth nodded, and said as he pondered his words:

"I once got a magical item that helps people travel through the spirit realm, and when I use it, I hear strange whispers every time there is a full moon or blood moon, which causes near-uncontrollable pain.

"And according to Mr. 'Fool', this phrase comes from Mr. 'Gate'. ”

She paused for a second and added:

"It is possible that He was asking for help. ”

It turns out that Foirth is suffering in silence...... She usually doesn't show it at all, she always looks like she is enjoying life...... "Justice" Audrey subconsciously sympathizes with her friend, and at the same time examines her own ineffective use of the "audience" ability to find out what is wrong with Folth.

Magical items for spiritual travel...... Whispering at the time of the full moon...... Suspected of begging for help...... "Hermit" Gardelia repeated the key points in Miss "Magician's" words in her heart, and said with satisfaction:

"Thanks for the description. ”

Her gaze swept over the other members, and to her regret found that no one reacted further.

The free exchange continued, and it came to an end without any waves.

After watching the members leave and helping them through the substantive parts of the deal, Crane returned to the real world and sat down in his easy chair for a while.

Then, he walked over to his desk, took out a pen and paper, and wrote a letter to Sharon, telling him that the lucky necklace had been sold, and that only the "biotoxin bottle" remained, along with the extraordinary properties of "madman".

After folding the letter and writing the information of 126 Gard Street in Hilston and Maria, Klein opened the iron cigarette case again, and let the "blood general" Señor appear silently next to him.

Like a valet, the "resentful spirit" humbly picked up the letter on the table and disappeared into the room.

A few blocks away, at a mailbox, a letter spawned out of thin air and fell inside.

............

East Chester County, inside the castle of the Hall family.

Audrey's blue eyes looked in the mirror without focus, and all that echoed in her mind was the contents of the Book of Secrets.

This knowledge is intertwined to form an illusory book, which, once recalled, can be presented, and the corresponding number of pages can be flipped according to the mind.

This is the product of Klein's ability to directly mobilize a small amount of power in the mysterious space above the gray mist, and combine the information given with the "soothsayer's" dream recall ability, which can last for one to two weeks.

And this is enough for Audrey to read the Book of Secrets, and then if she remembers something unclear, she can continue to ask for it.

"Mr. 'Fool' seems to be getting better...... Audrey thought happily, her eyes gradually regaining their brightness.

She stood up, walked to the door, and smiled at the big golden retriever who was sitting outside in boredom:

"Susie, you're not ladylike enough. ”

Susie glanced warily left and right, sniffled before speaking:

"This is the most standard movement when training a hound. ”

But you're not a good hound...... Audrey sneered and said with a smile:

"I thought you would answer me like this: Audrey, I'm just a dog~"

Susie replied seriously:

"Overly repetitive words are easy for others to grasp their own habits and mental activities.

"Audrey, that's what the psychology book says. ”

...... Audrey couldn't find the words to respond for a moment, and just then she saw her father, Earl Hall, with a valet and a squire, walking up the stairs of the castle.

And even though the sun was shining outside, it was still dim and gloomy, and even candlesticks had been lit, which were embedded in the walls and illuminated the steps.

"The castle is so old that I think it must have undergone a major renovation. Earl Hall complained casually to his daughter.

Audrey nodded reservedly:

"Yes, dear Count, that's exactly what I don't like here, it makes me feel like I'm slowly rotting. ”

"But I actually spend £13,000 a year on repairing it. Count Hall sighed with a smile.

Audrey glanced at Susie, smiled at her father and said:

"Dad, what are you looking for me?"

Count Hall pointed to the paper in his hand and said:

"A telegram from Beckland that somebody is selling a 10 percent stake in a bicycle company, baby, is there any interest? I think the industry has a very bright future, and it's far from meeting the minimum expectations. ”

"Bicycle?" Audrey was unfamiliar with the term, her eyes slightly rolling and her expression confused.

Count Hall looked at his daughter with a smile and said:

"A two-wheeled, man-ridden machine, you can understand it that way, the average man's carriage.

"In Rune, in Beckland, the largest number of people are not aristocrats, nor merchants, but ordinary people engaged in manual labor, followed by the more skilled and high-status types among them, this is the group of people targeted by bicycles, they have an absolute majority and a certain purchasing power, even if only 10% are willing to buy bicycles, it can make this company get a very good development.

"Well, they have the corresponding patents. ”

Audrey believed in her father's vision, and understood the prospect described by Earl Hall, and nodded slightly:

"How much is that 10% stake worth? ”

"According to the preliminary investigation, the Beckland Bicycle Company is currently only worth 50,000 pounds, this is because the promotion of goods and the explosion of sales still need time to brew, so it cannot be simply assumed that 10% of the shares are only worth 5,000 pounds, my suggestion is to offer 8,000 pounds in the first round, and the psychological floor price is 15,000 pounds, I will send someone to help you take care of this matter. Earl Hall said succinctly.

About £10,000...... I've almost used up my cash this month...... Audrey said with a little embarrassment:

"Dad, I can't get this money at once, and it takes a certain amount of time to sell stocks, real estate, and minerals, or wait for their profits. ”

Count Hall laughed and said:

"You don't need to go to such trouble, you can pledge the shares of the Beckland Arms Group or the Pridzer Commercial Marine Company to the bank for a short period of time, and you can get enough cash, and when the matter is over, you can pledge the shares of the bicycle company to the bank for a long time, and use the loan to repay the previous loan.

"That way, you only need to pay a higher interest rate of one to two weeks to close the deal, and the annual dividends of the bicycle company are enough to pay the interest on the long-term loan, so you can wait patiently for the appreciation of the value, which is a high probability thing. ”

Although Audrey did not receive a complete education in business finance, she had a father who was a big banker, and she was not unfamiliar with similar things.

"That is, I only need to pay two or three hundred pounds to get 10% of the bicycle company?"

"Maybe a little less. Earl Hall said with a smile.

Audrey understood what her father meant, and as the largest shareholder of Bavart Bank and the fourth largest shareholder of Beckland Bank, he was able to afford to give his daughter a short-term loan at a reasonable interest.

"Thank you, dear Earl. Audrey smiled, lifted the hem of her skirt, and bowed.

............

In the moonlight at night, the water was deep blue and almost black, and Alger Wilson stood on the bow of the boat, watching the silhouette of Passu Island creeping quietly.

This is the headquarters of the Church of the Storm, the place of God's favor!

As a mid-level member of the church, Alger remembered only three times, once after finding the Blue Avenger and being promoted to Voyager, once at last year's debriefing, and once a long time ago, as a dark-blue-haired half-breed, he was selected to join the headquarters and become part of the children's choir, but he had no talent for singing, and was soon sent away to work as a servant in the chapel on the island where he was born, where the priest was a very rough man to his subordinates.

Whenever he recalls this experience, his expression becomes rather calm, and he longs to reach a high position.

In the midst of the wind, the "Blue Avenger" moved quietly and sailed towards the port.

............

In the darkness of Night, Emlyn White lurked outside the mansion of Ruth Bathory, another Baron of the Bloods, dressed in a crisp dress and a silk top hat.

He was confident that the other party would soon make a move to reclaim the bait, and for a Bloodline, such a night with a red moon was perfect for hunting.

After a while, Emlyn's eyes suddenly lit up, and he saw a figure leap down the back window of the house and fall silently.
