Chapter 64: Arrival at the port of Enmat
"I remember that Anderson was later made bait by the unspeakable King of Angels to fish for the three-in-one evil spirit of Sauron Einhorn Medich...... Could it be that the god of knowledge foresaw this and wanted to make a fuss about it? ”
Abner thought for a moment, and since there was no original plot to support him, he felt even more foggy about the layout of the gods, so he simply put it down for the time being.
only in the end, he told Edith again: "It doesn't matter if you follow Anderson to learn how to be a 'hunter', but don't participate in the 'Divine War Ruins' adventure they organized this time!" ”
From here on, Anderson became 'unlucky Anderson', and the people who traveled with him were obviously not as tough as his life.
"Mr. Anderson said that this operation will take more than half a year to prepare, just the preliminary survey route will take a short time, not to mention the gathering of so many adventurers together......" Edith was actually a little eager to try this kind of adventure, but in the end she was still a little frustrated, "But he also said in the same tone as you, but the wording was more direct, saying that if I can't be promoted to the middle sequence before the official departure, I don't want to send ...... to death."
It seems that Anderson still has a number in his heart, but it's a pity that even if it's a middle sequence, if it's not like Klein, who has a plug-in or a star general who has a backstage to follow, it's just as dangerous to go there.
After seeing Edith off, Abner sat back down at the table. Now that the matter of joining the Tarot Club has come to an end, he has finally begun to think about another problem, that is, how to play the "Keeper of Knowledge"!
The meaning of "keeper of knowledge" is literally just a person who guards knowledge or knowledge, but how to play it is a big problem, and you can't go to the library to be a security guard, right?
And Abner doesn't think he should play it literally, because the "Keeper of Knowledge" is also called "Detective" in modern times!
The profession of "detective" is in the same vein as "reasoning student", and from this perspective, it may be better to find out what the true meaning of the role is.
"When I returned to Beckland, I became a well-known detective in the name of my teacher, hoping to summarize the 'acting rules' in the process of handling various cases...... As for asking the teacher directly, I think if he could speak, he would tell me directly. I'm afraid I still can't get around the oath. ”
Abner thought of this, looked at the time, and saw that it was already 6 o'clock in the evening. So I tidied up my clothes and walked to the ship's dining room.
……
In the Black Thorn Security Company, Crane, who was already going home from work, was stopped by the solemn Captain Dunn and came to the latter's office together.
Klein looked left and right and saw that Leonard, Kornley, Siga, and Luo Yao were all there, and only Frye was absent because he was on duty at Chanisgate.
"From today onwards, you will go in pairs after work to inspect Raphael's cemetery before going home. Well, tentatively for a week. When Dunn saw the crowd, he succinctly laid out the task.
"Captain, is there something going on at the cemetery?" Leonard asked, puzzled. I also asked the voices of the people on duty at the scene.
"I don't know......," Dunn said with deep gray eyes, scanning an unsent draft of the telegram on the table before shaking his head.
"Don't know?" The night watchmen looked at each other, and they were all a little surprised by this answer.
"In short, you should be careful, and once you find any abnormalities, report them to me as soon as possible!" Dunn said it again.
"Understood, Captain!"
After everyone responded in unison, seeing the captain waving his hand to announce the disbandment, they all deliberately slowed down, waiting for the follow-up 'Wait a minute, there is still one more thing'.
Surprisingly, Dunn didn't stop everyone until they were out of the office.
"That's not right!" The white-haired, black-eyed "Midnight Poet" Siga Teang's tone was full of horror.
"Something must have gone wrong with the captain!" The cold and restrained black-haired lady Luo Yao Leiting also frowned and asked her companion beside her, "Do you know what happened?" ”
"The captain seems to have been on his way to Raphael's cemetery today...... "Crane said as he recalled his conversation with the captain in the morning before making excuses to go to the bathroom, "and he seemed normal in the morning." ”
Leonard deliberately slowed down at this time, and bowed his head to himself at the end, and then seemed to be relieved, and said with a smile: "Don't be so serious, maybe the captain is just in a good mood today, and there is nothing wrong with him......"
Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by the "Sleepless" Cohenley, "Which of you can contact Ms. Dali?" ”
"I have her mailing address." Crane raised his hand, because he wanted to divinate Joyce's dream, he contacted Ms. Dali to ask for skills.
"Write the captain's anomaly into a letter and send it to her as soon as possible!" Luo Yao said.
After deciding on how to deal with the matter, the night watchmen dispersed, leaving Leonard alone to stand in the corridor with some embarrassment.
He stretched out his hand, put it down weakly, and finally asked in a low voice, "Old man, are you sure the captain is really okay?" ”
……
Klein walked to the door of the company, and was just about to say hello to Roshan, who was on duty, when he saw Joyce's fiancée, Miss Anna, walk in with red eyes.
Because Triss has not been caught, Joyce Meier, whom he instigated, is still in protective custody at the headquarters of the night watchman team in Tingen.
And Miss Anna was involved in extraordinary events, and in order to see her sweetheart often, she applied for a civilian position at Black Thorn Security Company, which made Roshan, who had been complaining about too many night shifts, smile.
It wasn't Miss Anna's time to work, and Klein knew she was coming to see her fiancé, so he took her to the confinement cell. Even civilian personnel are not eligible to come here without official accompaniment.
"Anna, why are you crying?" Joyce asked with concern when she saw the red and swollen circles under her fiancée's eyes.
"My dear...... Our friend, Bogda has died! At this, Anna burst into tears again.
"Goddess, he is still so young...... Joyce was also stunned when he heard this, and then sighed and asked, "Why did Bogda return to the arms of the Lord?" ”
"Bogda was seriously ill, he had a big problem with his liver, and medication only reduced the pain, but could not really treat it, so he took the risk of a surgical operation at the end...... He couldn't get off the operating table......" Anna replied with a sob.
When Klein heard this, he also mourned for the unmasked Mr. Bogda, and thought to himself: The surgery in this era is very immature, and it is really a gamble to go to the operating table! Well, if only this gentleman had come to me for divination, I might suggest that he go to the pharmacist who had cured Mr. Glacis's lung disease......
Thinking of this pharmacist, Klein suddenly remembered that this person was probably an extraordinary person, and after thinking for a while, he decided to go to the door another day when he was free, and if there was a problem, he would report it in time.
By the time Miss Anna was sent out of the office, Klein himself was ready to go home. But at this moment, it suddenly occurred to him that the captain probably did forget something important:
"I've become an official night watchman! The weekly salary should be 4.5 pounds...... But what about the back salary? Why didn't you give it? ”
……
Monday, July 16th.
Just as Klein was alone in completing the first case of the official night watchman and getting compensation for the Hayliet family, the White Onyx passenger liner slowly sailed into the port of Enmat.
Many adventurers on the passenger ship disembarked one after another, although this was not the end of their journey, but after four days at sea, they had to go ashore to repair.
Abner watched as Edith, who was protecting Mr. Vernal's family as they left, and then looked at Hugh, who was waving goodbye to Captain Erlan.
The latter turned around and sighed, and said to Abner, "Captain Erlan is a fair and wise gentleman, but unfortunately he does not know the clues of my father's case. "She's been busy with this for the past few days.
"Maybe you can look forward to the results on the Forths side." Abner smiled and comforted her, then picked up his luggage and prepared to disembark.
"Furth...... I'm not sure she's starved to bed right now. "Hugh has been by Abner's side for a long time, and he hasn't learned anything else, and his ability to complain has skyrocketed.
Is Miss "Magician" so unreliable? Abner was a little speechless.
"I'd rather get information from you!" Hugh looked at Abner and said earnestly.
"If you want to know from me, you have to ......"
"Strength!" Before Abner could finish speaking, Hugh preempted him.
"Now that you understand, let's improve the sequence as soon as possible!" After all, your enemy is an angel who is about to become a god.
Hugh pursed his lips and followed in Abner's footsteps.
……
After the two found a hotel to stay in, Hugh went out. She had lived in the port of Nmatt for a while, and she was no stranger to the area, and she also had some acquaintances to visit.
Abner looked at the time, it was already half past two, not far from the Tarot Society, so he simply sealed the room with spirit in advance.
Then, he sat on the edge of the bed and thought about what kind of posture and persona he should make at the Tarot meeting.
"Maybe I can position myself as a scholar who likes to show off my knowledge, give them some information and knowledge for free, and then whoever has any doubts will be the first to think of me. Free has always been the most expensive! ”
"By the way, Klein is still collecting Russell's diary...... Shall I find some too? Well, forget it this time, after all, I didn't know that Mr. Fool needed this. ”
"So where do you go to get the diary? The teacher doesn't seem to have any, and Mr. Gaston isn't keen on collecting Rosell's things......"
"By the way, I know Chinese Simplified! Then why did I collect Russell's diaries? I'll make up some of them! And the information that is inconvenient to say in the future can be given to Klein in the form of Russell's diary...... Well, I have to make up some of Russell's peachy jokes from time to time...... So as not to show the filling. ”
"In the end, you have to write Chinese characters in the direction of ugliness and distortion, after all, the Chinese transcribed by people in this world are very awkward."
Abner was thinking about rejoicing when he suddenly noticed a tide of crimson light surging out of thin air, drowning him in one fell swoop!
The tarot meeting has officially begun.
