Chapter 87: Lucky

After Abner put away the bottle of perfume, he did not rush to leave, but used the "breath extraction" ability again to carefully clean up the breath he had left here.

As a "detective" who is good at finding clues, he is naturally an expert in how to erase clues.

After doing all this, Abner returned the same way as he came, clearing all traces of his own path, and took out the gold coin from the Solomonic Empire that he had obtained earlier.

He rubbed the uncomfortable-looking gold coin, and then pressed his thumb to wipe the blood off the front of the coin.

Because of the terrible things that had happened to him in a simple investigation, Abner felt that his luck was a little bad today, and in order to avoid any more accidents on the way to the Harvest Church, he decided to break the seal on the gold coin and make himself lucky.

Of course, the fact that he was able to unseal the seal without hesitation was also related to the telegram he received from Hugh from East Chester County before he left in the morning, and the other party had already departed, and because it was faster to take the steam train, he could arrive in the afternoon.

Pinching the gold coin of various colors, Abner cautiously left Dr. Leonardo's house. He walked two streets before he stopped a horse-drawn cab and let him carry him to the Harvest Church in the south of the bridge.

With the dangerous bottle of perfume in his arms, Abner did not dare to take the relatively crowded subway.

Rotans Street, where the doctor's house is located, belongs to the south of Jowood District, which is not too far from the West District and the South District of the Bridge, and there is a main road connecting at the junction of the three districts, so the traffic is quite convenient.

But at this time, the carriage did not go to the road at the junction of the three districts, but ran to the bridge area to the east.

Abner, who had been crossing for a short time, was already familiar with the road in Beckland, and when he saw that the route was wrong, he was a little surprised and asked the coachman with some vigilance: "Why don't you take Duke Negan's Boulevard?" "Don't you want to take a long detour to make money?

The main road connecting the three districts was built at the expense of Duke Negan, hence the name.

"Sir, I just made a U-turn from the Ducal Avenue. There was a serious traffic accident there, and it is said that a steam locomotive built by a noble lord privately broke down and suddenly lost control, knocking over seven or eight horse-drawn carriages in a row, and destroying a gas charging station on the side of the road...... In short, there is still martial law over there, and there are many traffic jams, and it is impossible to pass at all. The coachman turned back and explained.

Is it such a coincidence? Could it be that if I didn't have the effect of unsealing the gold coins, I would also meet the nobleman who experimented with the steam car? And then be suddenly knocked over and smash that terrible bottle of perfume by surprise?

Abner thought for a moment, then held the perfume more steadily.

……

On Duke Negan's Boulevard, the police who rushed to maintain order after hearing the news worked together to retrieve the spilled copper pennies back into the gas meter, which eased martial law and allowed traffic to pass.

A young police officer in charge of counting copperpennies pressed his aching arm and complained to the inspector next to him, "What's the point of counting that? Who knows exactly how many were lost...... According to me, it would be good to let the nobleman who caused the accident take full responsibility and pay full compensation. ”

"The insurance company thinks so too, Shoko. But you should understand that if we cannot provide strong evidence of financial loss, Mr. Viscount's lawyer will not let go of this opportunity to mess around. The inspector next to him replied with a smile.

At this moment, a horse-drawn carriage that had been stranded on the side of the road slowly passed them.

The young police officer named Shawco glanced subconsciously, and then saw a lady through the carriage window...... A lady who could no longer take his eyes off.

The lady was silky-eyed, fair-skinned, black-haired, and wore a low-cut purple gown that exposed her shoulders, although she couldn't get a full glimpse because of the veil on her face, but it also made the bloody Officer Xiao Ke throb for a while, and he wanted to jump into the car and kiss her fingers.

Just as Xiao Ke's eyes were straight and the corners of his mouth were hooked into a strange smile, the inspector next to him patted him on the shoulder, sobering him up from his fantasy.

"Okay, don't look at it. That's not a lady you kid can climb. The inspector shook his head and reminded his junior with a smile.

"Inspector, do you know I can't climb it? I see that the carriage is quite ordinary......" Although Xiao Ke was no longer thinking nonsense, his eyes still followed the carriage in the distance, and his mouth was perfunctory.

"Hehe, you kid really don't give up...... See that badge behind the carriage? The inspector patted him again and pointed to the carriageway.

"What's that badge?" Xiao Ke carefully discerned it, and said puzzledly, "I don't seem to have seen this badge for a noble family......"

"I haven't seen it! The background of that coat of arms is a palace that represents the royal court. This is the family crest of the court military attaché, and the lady or young lady just now should be the family of the court military attaché, so you naturally can't afford it. ”

"That's right...... Ahh Officer Shoko withdrew his gaze with some disappointment, and then suddenly began to sneeze continuously, and it took a long time for him to recover. It was only then that he realized that the inspector next to him was lying on the ground gasping for breath, as if his asthma had suddenly flare-up.

……

Holding Solomon's gold coin in his hand, Abner made his way to the outside of the Harvest Church on Yuejihua Street in the southern district of the bridge.

As soon as he got out of the carriage, he saw the tall and giant-like Bishop Utravsky come out of the church.

"Mother God foresaw your coming, come with me." Bishop Utrawski glanced at Abner and smiled mildly.

Mother Earth Goddess really paid attention to me, it seems that the Blood Duke is not lying...... Hey, aren't the gods all blocking the astral boundary to prevent the invasion of beings who don't know what? Why do you pay so much attention to me, a little person? Is my identity as a traverser so special?

Abner knew that the gods could not keep an eye on him all the time, but at most he would pull him when he was in danger of being high-level, like a finger just now...... But with the current level of observation, it is already very frightening.

Forget it, think about it from another angle, although I may not know what price to repay this attention and favor in the future, but it is actually quite beneficial to me at this stage, isn't it? Without that one of them, my future may be left with the only way to 'breed' offspring.

Abner comforted himself, adjusted his mind, and followed Bishop Utravsky into the church.

As soon as he entered, Abner saw a variety of extraordinary materials arranged in the four corners of the hall, and in the center was a stick figure of a baby emblem surrounded by wheat ears, flowers, and springs.

"The ceremony is ready, give me that thing." Bishop Utravsky put away his smile and said with a serious face.

"Okay." Abner did not hesitate and immediately handed the perfume bottle to the other party.

Utravsky carefully took the perfume bottle and placed it on the altar. After bowing his head and praying for a while, he began to chant loudly:

"O Mother Earth, who brings abundance and life to the world,

"You are the source of life;

"You are the mother of all things.

……

"I pray for your strength,

"I pray for your favor,

"I pray that you will cleanse this bottle of liquid from the evil filth and give it the nobility and abundance of life again."

After the eulogy was read, Abner felt as if a distorted baby cry sounded from the bottle of perfume, the sound seemed to be very beautiful, and it seemed to be very harsh, in short, full of contradictions and weirdness, Abner even felt that if there was no power of Mother Earth at this time, just listening to the voice, he and the giant bishop in front of him would have to lose control.

Fortunately, the voice began to gradually lower after crying for a while, and finally disappeared completely.

"I just brought such a dangerous thing with me?" Even though he knew that there was nothing wrong with what he had handled, Abner was still a little afraid, and then wanted to open the pure white eye so that he could analyze himself to determine if he had been covertly polluted.

But then, Bishop Utravsky, who had finished the ceremony, as if he knew what he was thinking, came up to him and said gently: "Under the protection of Mother Goddess, child, you are safe and sound. ”

Abner nodded, but was ready to go back and make sure. As for how to confirm? In addition to the self-analysis of the Pure White Eye, he thought of an easier way at this time, and that was to pray to Mr. Fool.

Whatever you pray, say anything.

If Crane responds, then it means that he didn't see the problem through the True Eye of the Source Castle. I can also put my mind at ease.

If Klein doesn't respond, it's likely that he's scared by something strange about me! It means that I am really polluted.

Thinking so, on the surface, Abner still showed his approval of the other party's persuasion, and took the initiative to tell Bishop Utravsky about Dr. Leonardo in detail.

"Leonardo, he really had an accident......"

"I just got a message from him that night and went out, only to be taken advantage ......of the opportunity to steal the seal, and then I was ambushed again."
