Chapter 93: A New Commission

"Tamara ......" Abner was also shocked when he heard this name, unlike Abraham, who has declined, although Tamara does not appear much in the original novel, there are all kinds of signs that this family still retains the extraordinary characteristics of the ancestral high rank.

"Is there anything special about this name?" Hugh's knowledge of the occult was still inadequate, and he knew little about the history of the Quaternary, even if Abner often popularized it to her.

Hearing this, Abner came back to his senses and replied thoughtfully, "The Tamara family is an angelic family that supported the Blood Emperor in the War of the Four Emperors, and this family originally had the 'Arbiter' path, and later after marrying the Abraham family, they got the potion recipe for the 'Apprentice' path from them. And among the Gnosis societies we have encountered, there should also be some members of the Tamara family. ”

Hugh didn't expect the Tamara family to be so big, and he was a little stunned for a while, and only sighed after a long while: "I have a connection with the Witch Sect again......"

Abner also felt that it was a little strange that he always encountered witches in the events he encountered, could it be that he chose the "tower" card in the tarot club, which represents destruction and restart, so he always encountered witches and hunters?

However, Abner was still relieved and said, "It may not be that the witch sect has been contacted...... As far as I know, the Tamara family has long been divided, with the 'arbiter' faction and the 'apprentice' faction pitted against each other. If the lady who saved you is really a member of the Tamara family, then judging by her actions to give you the 'Interrogator' formula, she should be the 'arbiter'. ”

Although Abner can't remember the plot related to the outer gods, he still remembers information about the Tamara family.

"So...... Is this the end of the matter? Hugh thought for a moment and asked expectantly. Neither the ancient dragon nor the powerful lady was the existence she should provoke at the moment. Although Hugh was a little reckless, he didn't want to get involved in such a high-end layout at all.

"Now that you've delivered the 'stuff' of the ancient dragon, it should be over......" Abner relieved her again, but his tone was a little unconfident. At the same time, he secretly decided in his heart that next time Tarot would forge a few more pages of Russell's diary and present them to the Fool, in exchange for his 'favor' of Hugh.

After talking about Hugh, Abner talked about what happened to him in the past few days, except for the part involving the gods, he didn't make much reservations, and told Hugh everything, letting her know that the follow-up of the incident had been dealt with by the "desolates" of the Earth Mother God Church.

"What happened to you is much easier than mine......" Hugh also breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

Relaxed? Not necessarily! I can't remember it, and I don't have any evidence, but I think the blood I saw in the "scene backtracking" should be more powerful than the "white smoke".

Abner was thinking wildly when he heard Hugh on the other side speak again, a little embarrassed:

"Can you lend me the Solomon Empire gold coins in your hand for a few days?"

"I ...... I also want to transfer gas! ”

……

On Thursday morning, Abner was about to go out to the Bridge District to do another "investigation" when he was stopped by Detective Isenger.

"Teacher, what's the matter with you?" Abner is a little strange, the teacher is helping the police station to find the fraudster these days, often leaving early and returning late, very busy.

Detective Issinger knocked his pipe and asked with a smile, "There is an extraordinary party at the 'Brave Bar' tonight, would you like to come and attend?" ”

Yes, after being away for more than a month, I almost forgot about the teacher's extraordinary party.

Abner was stunned, and then thought of the "Heart of the Elder Tree", which he had not found so far, and his heart moved, and he nodded: "Teacher, I will go tonight." ”

Detective Issinger seemed to see through his thoughts, and after taking a puff of cigarette, he said with a smile: "If you just want to try your luck at the party and buy the 'Heart of the Elder Tree', then you don't have to go." ”

"Is it because the specifications of the party are not enough?" Abner thought about it, and found that most of the transactions in the gatherings organized by the teacher only involved low-order items, and in rare cases, medium-order items flowed out.

"That's just one aspect, the most important thing is that your teacher and I are also looking for the 'Heart of the Elder Tree'......" Detective Isenger glanced at his student, this kind of material involving promotion, if it did appear, he would not give in.

Abner was speechless, and before he set out for Damir Island, he informed his teacher of one of the main materials of the "Erudito", which he had thought could be easily obtained with his connections. I even had the idea of finding a way to find a way if I really couldn't buy it.

It's a pity that the mind is just the mind after all, and since this road is not working, he feels that he really has to find a way to get in touch with the blood clan. But don't be too anxious, his rules for playing the "Keeper of Knowledge" haven't been sorted out yet.

"So, do you want to come to the party?" Detective Isenger asked again.

Abner thought about it for a while, and felt that even if he couldn't buy the materials, it would be good to sell some charms he made in his spare time and recoup the funds, so he still said to Detective Isenger with certainty: "I'll participate, teacher." ”

After receiving the answer, Detective Issinger did not delay any longer and hurried out to the police station.

On the other side, Abner returned to his room and was just about to pack his belongings and was about to go out when he heard a knock on the door.

Abner frowned, opened the door, saw the manservant standing respectfully outside, guessed his purpose at once, and asked, "Kenny, is there a client?" ”

The valet Kenny nodded and replied, "Here comes a gentleman, about fifty years old, dressed very well, and looking like a servant of a great nobleman." ”

Noble servants? Looking for a teacher?

Although the teacher is not in the office, Abner, who is an official student of Detective Issinger and is already famous, has to go without receiving the other party, otherwise it will be rude.

Abner put down the spells and other extraordinary items he had put down, combed through the mirror, and then Kenny led him to the living room.

What caught the eye was a gentleman with neatly combed pale blonde hair, he was wearing a serious deacon dress, with a few wrinkles hidden in the corners of his eyes and mouth, not too obvious, with a healthy complexion and a masculine temperament, at first glance he was the type who could accompany his master to hunt and even fight against enemies.

Abner pretended to greet the other party warmly, and learned that the other party's name was Marcy, and then went straight to the point and asked: "Mr. Marcy, I wonder if you have any commissions to find a teacher?" ”

Mr. Marcy smiled formulaically and said decently: "I heard that Detective Issinger is investigating a relatively serious crime case, and the time is very tight, and the matter I want to entrust is not urgent, so I will not trouble him...... In addition, Mr. Blaine, although you are young, you also have a great reputation, and I believe that you will be able to handle my commission with you. ”

"You've won the prize...... "Abner was a little furious at the praise, and he felt that this man might be coming at him, and he didn't know what it was.

Seeing that Abner was still modest, without the slightest arrogance of youth, a trace of satisfaction flashed in his eyes, and finally he said the commission: "I would like to ask you to investigate Mr. Walter, the deacon of Viscount Conrad's estate and assistant to the housekeeper. Including his hobbies, range of friends, family situation, and sexual behavior...... It's cumbersome, but a real employer is willing to pay £100 for it. ”

Walter, Viscount Conrad's house? This...... This is the butler of the future rich man Mr. Dawn's house, right? Why investigate him?

A hint of surprise flashed in Abner's eyes, and he lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and gradually came up with an idea:

I remember that Walter was in charge of taking care of the Viscount's children at Viscount Conrad's house, and in the process met Prince Edssac, who appreciated him......

Is it that the people around the prince are afraid of being replaced in a private investigation? Or is it that the butler of Viscount Conrad's family, who has a conflict with Walter, wants to find out the black material?

Glancing at Mr. Marcy in front of him quietly, Abner preferred the former, after all, even if the viscount's butler wanted to check the black material, he could not be generous enough to pay 100 pounds.

"Do you have any specific requirements for the results of the investigation?" Abner asked tentatively, in a very vague tone.

Marcy smiled sincerely when he heard this, and said cryptically: "Be as detailed as possible, as truthful as possible, and as objective as possible." However, it is important to consider not only the good aspects of the report, but also the flaws. Russell the Great said, 'People make mistakes'. ”

"I see." Abner nodded, and decided to take the order, in addition to the fact that 100 gold pounds was really a lot, he felt that it would not be a bad thing for Walter to stay away from Prince Edsak because of this.

……

Meanwhile, Hugh, who had just arrived in his 'precinct', was stopped outside a bar by a man in a black tuxedo.

The man wore a golden mask on his face, revealing his eyes, nostrils, mouth, and cheeks, making it impossible to imagine what he was.

The light brown eyes behind the golden mask flickered, and the man said with a smile:

"I'm guessing you don't know why I'm looking for you."

His voice was deliberately hoarse, but nothing extraordinary.

To his surprise, Hugh did not show any surprised and vigilant expression, she raised her head with her chest straight, looked back at the masked man without losing momentum, and asked:

"MInine?"
