Chapter 138: Caspars's Invitation
"......Mr. 'Fool', I have just found a page of 'Russell's Diary' and asked for a sacrificial ceremony to give it to you in exchange for the 'Heart of the Elder Tree' to stay in your kingdom for the time being."
It's a nice thing to say, but in essence, after "logistics" and "dangerous goods inspection", it's "valuables storage", right?
The corners of Klein's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help but complain.
However, he did not reject such requests that would reveal the "spirit" nature of Mr. "Fool", not to mention the fact that there was a page of Russell's diary as a reward.
After allowing the other party to operate, Crane looked at the emerald wooden heart in the suitcase and muttered to himself, "This is the main material of the medium sequence of potions?" Just looking at it, I think it's very powerful...... It turns out that the 'tower' was so actively promoted at the Tarot meeting before to raise money to buy it......
"The 'Tower' also really trusts me, at least 2,000 pounds worth of things are just put here for me, aren't you afraid that I will take them and sell them?
"But I'm an ancient god in his eyes, so I shouldn't need money......"
Crane smiled self-deprecatingly, then picked up the page of Russell's diary and looked at it.
"Is Russell trying to create the 'Zodiac'?" 'Guardian' is the name of the sequence, that sounds strong...... One of the founders of the Morse Ascetic Society is named Stiano, and it is unknown what he has to do with the 'Hidden Sage'......
"In addition, the old Neil's state seems to be quite stable, not like he has been polluted by the knowledge of the superior existence......
"It made me want to report to the captain several times without a suitable excuse."
……
In his one-bedroom room on the East End, Abner saw the suitcase and diary disappear into the "Unreal Door", and after praising the "Fool", he stood up and packed up the ritual-related items in the only cabinet in the room.
After doing this, he left the East End and took a taxi back to the teacher's house.
The next day, early in the morning, Abner received an invitation from Congressman Maher to visit the Elk Estate in the northwest suburbs of Beckland at 7 p.m. on Wednesday night.
When Detective Isenger Stanton saw this, he smiled and said to him, "It seems that you will not be able to attend the extraordinary party I organized tomorrow night." ”
"It's okay, teacher. Anyway, I don't have anything I want to buy for the time being...... "Of course, the main thing is that I just spent a lot of money, and it was when I was strapped for cash. And the teacher's party level is not high, and there are few things that he can look at.
Detective Isenger nodded, and was about to go out to run errands, but suddenly remembered something, and turned back to his student and said, "By the way, Caspars from the 'Brave Bar' contacted me earlier and said that I need your help with something. ”
"Caspers? What could he do...... It's not like a gang grabbing turf that requires me to suppress the battle, right? Abner asked with a strange expression, as he had promised when he first became an extraordinary.
"Probably not...... There are quite a few extraordinary people behind Caspers, otherwise it would not be his turn to run the black market there. Detective Isenger replied after a moment's thought. After all, he is actually one of Caspars's backstagers, and if it is really for the sake of turf, there is no reason to only look for Abner.
I know this, a "living corpse" and a "resentful soul", this configuration can go sideways in the gang. Abner sneered, then nodded, "I'll take the time to go over and have a look today." "Of course, you have to investigate before you go, what if you are sold?
Detective Issinger saw that his student was mentally aware, so he stopped telling him, turned around and went out and got into the carriage.
Because there was no commission for the time being, Abner did not rush to go out, but first continued to learn another sequence 6 level ability of "Wind Favorer", "Gliding". After learning to "fly", "gliding" is relatively simple, and it only takes another week to learn it.
The effect of "gliding" seems to be worse than that of "flying", but it is not subject to the rules prohibiting flying, and in some cases, it is more advantageous.
After noon, Abner picked up the "clown mask" and left the detective agency, and took a public carriage to the "Brave Bar" in the Bridge area.
After arriving at Tiemen Street, he put on a mask, entered the bar familiarly, passed the drinkers shouting and cheering around the boxing ring, and walked around the card house and game room around to collect intelligence and information before walking to the bar.
Then he saw Caspars, who was sitting there drinking.
The rosacea-nosed old man asked for a cup of Lie Langzi, savoring the aroma of malt and the burning heat that irritated his throat, and narrowed his eyes in satisfaction.
Seeing this, Abner also sat down at the bar and said to the bartender, "Half and half." ”
"Half and Half" is a popular alcoholic beverage in the East District, Bridge District, Dock District and other places, which is made from malt beer and wine with strong alcohol, because it happens to be two ingredients, and the proportion is about the same, so it is nicknamed "Half and Half".
The bartender glanced up at the man in front of him, hesitated, and said, "Four and a half pence." ”
Abner paid and watched the bartender mix the drinks, quietly opening the "Pure White Eyes", then extracting the scent of Caspers, and then "regressing the scene".
Then, scenes from the bar came to his attention.
Abner skimmed over most of the useless scenes and focused on two of them.
One of the passages shows a young man who apparently hasn't been to a bar much and asks Kaspas for news of an extraordinary party.
This appears to be normal, and there are similar situations in other skipped scenes. But Abner, the young man who had come to inquire about the party, recognized him as the Schoke officer who had made a big fuss at Inspector Vane's funeral.
Inquire about extraordinary gatherings...... What does this officer want to do? I feel that the police station is unreliable, so I came to the extraordinary person to investigate? Or has he become an extraordinary in his own right? So...... Where did he get his potion recipe from?
Abner only thought for a moment, then turned his attention to another scene.
It was a dark card house, and a man in a white shirt and black vest was playing poker with a dozen people, and Caspars walked in tremblingly and asked, "Mr. Marić, what are you looking for me?" ”
The man named Marić put down the poker and looked at the old man in front of him, his eyes seemed to hide a thick malice, but he asked in a flat tone: "Caspers, I remember that you know the 'Hero Detective' Brian who has recently become famous?" ”
"Yes, sir." Kaspars did not dare to look at Marić and bowed his head in reply.
"Can you invite him over? I have something I want to entrust to him...... Don't worry, I've always paid me fairly, and I won't hurt anyone for no reason, you know. Marić said, lifting his chin.
……
The scene of the backtracking ended here, Abner frowned, he didn't expect that it was the temperance faction of the Rose School who wanted to find him, after all, he and the other party had nothing to do with anything other than Jane's matter.
Glancing at the drunken Karspars next to him, Abner drank the "half and half" in his hand, then turned and left the Bar of the Brave.
He decided to come back in the evening to see what Marić wanted to entrust him with, but only until he was ready.
Well, the "Sword of Dawn" has to be carried on the back, and the gold coins of Solomon have to be held...... It would be nice if we could fool Judy or Cullen as well......
